The school's hallway

Roki stood surrisingly very still next to Mika as he waited for the boy's answer to his statements or the okay to move forward and begin showing the other studants the school. 'Wonder if he's proud of me... I hope he is. Toru said he would be.' He thougth to himself.
Remebering that Toru had given him sevral things to say as well as ideas he had been given. He had thoguth they had looked very very grown up when Toru had showed him, so he was egur to speak and get this over with so he could show Mika what he knew.
[color:7844=eb8eab]"It's afternoon."
Roki jumped as he heard Abigail voice sudden speak next to him. He turned and blinked as he stared before speaking, answering in a soft but grown up tone. "I know that. It's the same thing anyway. After noon is just the early version of evening."
He smiled and turned back to Mika wondering if the boy was okay. He saw a look of confusion and worry pass over the boys face which worried him. Was he okay? Wasn't he happy with his new mature way of looking at things and his attudue?
"Yeah... sure... whatever..."
Roki heard Mika whisper softly and he swallowed, hanging his head a bit as a very hurt look over came his facce. He thought he would be a lot happier. More overjoyed. Wasn't he the one who said this morning that he was in highschool and needed to act his age?
Though now that Roki thought of it he couldn't really remeber the boys excact words, only that he had been told he was in high school. Plus it felt like everytime he spoke or acted others were upset and embarressed to be around him.
"That's fine Roki. Though, I prefer if you would just call me Mika, or Nii Nii, if you like. After all that was the first nickname you gave me, no? Or, maybe Noah or Mason sounds nice? Alll four names fit... Now... you wanted to see the library? Let's go quick, before it closes for the day."
Roki felt as if someone had smacked him. He didn't understand why Mika was telling him to call him 'Nii Nii'. Hadn't the boy told him to stop acting like a child? Why tell him to call him such a childish name?
He looked at the ground, tear forming as he grew very confused. 'Why? I can't call you that cuz Toru said that only baby's use that word...' Roki thought to himself. He blinked back his tears and took a deep before looking up at Mika.
"No I can't and won't call you 'Nii Nii'." He said firmly, a very serious look over taking his face. "Only little kid's use that word and I'm a grown-up. I'm in highschool and not a baby anymore so I will address you as Senpai since you are my Senpai." Roki said, nodding quickly before walking a bit ahead of them all down the hall.
He stopped about halfway down and turned to wave at them. "Come on. Me and Senpai are going to show you around." He said to the others before nodding at Mika. "Right, Senpai? You are ready no?"

Shun walked through the hallway and silence, leading Hikaru towards where he knew, or where he thought, was Jeamesero. It was rather quiet in the hallway now, now that a lot of students had already rushed home or were ready to go home.
The first day of school was always the most quiet, people would grow more noisy as the year passed, because they soon would make friends and start screaming and talking to teachers like they knew everything. But Shun didn't belong to those people, he was always quiet. Unless someone dragged him into something.
‘’High school is very confusing and kinda boring huh, Takeru?’’, Hikaru asked, waking Shun from his daydream. The boy looked at Hikaru and smiled weakly, nodding his head, before turning his head back again and staring at the walls of the hallway. What should he say? He didn't know. He was still a little bit confused by his own feelings and thoughts, and the fact that Hikaru and him were dating now. It had all happened so quickly and now walking beside him like this, pretending like nothing was going on, like nothing had happened, it made him feel so awkward. Shun felt like they were acting quite awkward, at least.
‘’Why am I such a stupid person? Come on Takeru, say something, or at least hold his hand...’’, he thought to himself, clenching his fist at his last thought. He was too nervous, too scared. ‘’No... it's still too soon for that, isn't it?’’
Suddenly he heard screaming and crying and he stopped, staring in confusion around him. Where were those sounds coming from, that sobbing?
‘’IT'S N-NOT FAIR!! I W-WANT MY MOMMY OR D-DADDY!!’’, the voice screamed and Shun brought his hands up to his ears on instinct. But before he could reach his ears he stopped and stared, listening for more to come. But the next words that came sounded a bit softer, so Shun lowered his hands again. ‘’Nii Nii! N-Nii Nii! It's n-n-not fair! C-come quick! I need... I n-need a h-hug... from y-you or an-anyone...’’
‘’Nii Nii...? That isn't Jeames, right? I recognize the voice somewhere but it doesn't not sound like Jeames', not at all.’’, Shun thought and he watched as Hikaru walked in the direction off the sound. Shun followed him quickly, and that's when two people came into view. Jeamesero, and his friend, Airamyst.


Airamyst was the one screaming and crying and Shun wondered what had happened. But he did feel for Airamyst, of course. Hikaru turned back around and came over to Shun. He seemed scared, though Shun didn't know why. However, Hikaru started pointing at Airamyst as he spoke to Shun.
‘’...T-Takeru... Th-that girl... boy... it... is upset... And its calling you. I know your probably gonna get upset and stuff for not helping and maybe even call me a baby or something like that but... but... b-but man that thing looks like a girl, a very girly girly.... the worse kind... A-and I can't do it... I just can't.’’, he said and Shun frowned at his words at first, but then came to realize he had been right; Airamyst was a boy, not a girl, but a boy in girl's clothing. And something had just happened.
And of course, Airamyst being Jeamesero's close friends Shun felt like he should help the girly boy, like he was his own little sibling. He looked at Hikaru, a sad look on his face.
‘’Doesn't matter, I know how scared you can be sometimes... I will help him myself. Just please... stay close to me. I don't wanna go out there alone.’’, Shun said, asking Hikaru for some mental support. He then took a deep breath and walked over to Jeamesero and Airamyst, and straight went for the boy in girl's clothing.
‘’Hey, why are you crying, Airamyst? What happened?’’, he asked, before wrapping him arms around the boy and hugging him tight, patting his head. He hugged the boy, just like he had wanted, because not long ago Airamyst had screamed for a hug from a certain Nii Nii, and Shun guess he was that Nii Nii, because Jeamesero always called him that. And he had probably told Airamyst about it. Shun didn't mind being a Nii Nii to a second person, he liked it. He was a big brother to everyone who deserved it. ‘’Sssshh, it's okay, please don't cry. Please tell me what happened so I can help.’’

It was awkward, way too awkward. Airamyst was quiet, and so was Jeamesero. He really didn't know what to say to the boy. They both had these feelings and it made Jeamesero feel so scared. What if it all was true? What if it would happen again? What if he and Airamyst would end up together and the boy would leave him or hurt him in the end, just like Jonathan had done?
‘’Y-yes, I-I unders-stand...’’, Airamyst mumbled and Jeamesero swallowed. Airamyst sounded sad, and Jeamesero felt bad about it. Had he hurt the boy's feelings, after all. ‘’Of course~ A-After all I shouldn't have said that. We can talk later if you want and I didn't mean that... like like thing... I don't really... l-lo-love you and... an-and...’’, Airamyst spoke again and Jeamesero shook his head, feeling really terrible right now.
‘’But you said it, so I assume it's true.’’, he simply said in response, forcing a weak smile at Airamyst.
Suddenly this girl came up to them and Jeamesero looked at her in confusion, wondering why she was even coming their way. She stopped right in front of Jeamesero and started speaking, shocking the boy immensely with her words.
‘’Sooo. A little bird told me your gay. That why you wear your hair long? And make-up too I guess. You think your that ugly? Newsflash your worse with make-up on then you would be with it off. Men weren't made to wear make-up.’’, the girl said as she looked at him and even wiped some of his make-up from his face. Jeamesero had put it on so faintly, there was no way she could have seen it below his eyes. No way. Unless she had looked really up close, or someone had told her. But who? Because Shun was the only one who knew, and he would never tell anyone. He would never do such a terrible thing.
‘’I... I'm ugly...?’’, he asked, completely shocked and scared. ‘’That's mean... so mean...’’
he felt tears sting his eyes and forced them back. Immediately Airamyst stood up for him, addressing the girl.
‘’H-Hey!’’, he said angry, but the girl seemed to ignore him, so he turned to Jeamesero. ‘’Are y-you okay, Jayjay?’’, Airamyst asked and Jeamesero looked at him, wiping at his eyes to get rid of a few tears. That's when he saw the faint streaks up black on his face and he swallowed.


He began to cry more, wiping off the makeup and away the tears that rolled down his cheek. At least the girl was leaving Airamyst alone he was glad, because he didn't want the boy to get hurt or feel bad. But then all of a sudden the girl walked up behind Airamyst and pulled up the boy's skirt. And before Jeamesero could even say something, before Airamyst could even respond, the girl was already gone again, walking off to wherever she went.
Jeamesero looked at Airamyst in worry and shock, seeing as the boy had started crying again. No, he started sobbing, wailing. His voice grew loud and almost unbearable. ‘’Airamyst-’’
‘’IT'S N-NOT FAIR!! I W-WANT MY MOMMY OR D-DADDY!!’’, Airamyst suddenly screamed as Jeamesero reached out for the boy, but he quickly pulled his hand back. ‘’Nii Nii! N-Nii Nii! It's n-n-not fair! C-come quick! I need... I n-need a h-hug... from y-you or an-anyone...’’, the boy cried and Jeamesero wanted to hug him. He wanted to reach out for him again, but then he remembered their conversation and he decided to stand still, stay where he was. Because it still all felt so extremely awkward. ‘’I need to give him a hug! What am I doing!? I can't just stand here and stare!’
‘’Hey, why are you crying, Airamyst? What happened?’’, a voice suddenly asked and Jeamesero looked up to see Shun, hugging Airamyst tight and patting the boy's head. ‘’Sssshh, it's okay, please don't cry. Please tell me what happened so I can help.’’
‘’Nii Nii... a girl came over and told me she knew I was gay, then she messed up my makeup... and she pulled up Airamyst's skirt... And then she just left...’’, Jeamesero whispered as he took a few steps closer, resting his hand on Airamyst's shoulder comfortingly, feeling the boy's shoulders shock. He stared at the ground, feeling stupid and sad.

‘’No I can't and won't call you 'Nii Nii'. Only little kid's use that word and I'm a grown-up. I'm in high school and not a baby anymore so I will address you as Senpai since you are my Senpai.’’, Roki said and with a serious expression on his face and Mikazaru looked at him in confusion, before narrowing his eyes at the boy. Was this really Roki? He was nothing like the Roki Mikazaru knew. He was acting so serious, way too serious for Mikazaru's liking, and Mikazaru didn't exactly know how to respond to this. What should he do with Roki? Be nice? Or be annoyed and refuse to take the things he just told him. ‘’Right, Senpai? You are ready no?’’, Roki asked and Mikazaru looked at him, crossing his arms and shaking his head.
‘’No, I'm not ready to go. You either call me Nii Nii or Mika, or my second or third name, okay? I dislike the name Senpai, makes me feel all weird...’’, Mikazaru said, refusing to accept Roki's words and the new name the boy had given him.

Shun was hugging Airamyst tight as he pet the boy's head, hearing him sob and wail. He felt bad for Airamyst, the poor boy didn't deserve to feel this sad. And it was even worse because he was actually a boy, pretending to be a boy. He had to keep up this appearance, and if other people would find out the truth about him, he would have a hard time to deal with the bullies and all the terrible bullying.
‘’Nii Nii... a girl came over and told me she knew I was gay, then she messed up my makeup... and she pulled up Airamyst's skirt... And then she just left...’’, Jeamesero said as the by walked over to them and Shun looked at the boy's face, noticing the faint smeared streaks of black on his face, just below his eyes. Shun swallowed; it was the first day of school and they already had witnessed a beating and people were already bullying others. This was going to be one terrific new school year, not.
‘’Yeah... She did... She hurt Jayjay then she... she flipped my skirt and... an-and...’’, Airamyst said, still crying. Shun patted the boy's head again, wanting him to calm down. He didn't want for anyone to cry, he wanted everyone to smile and be happy. Everyone deserved that so much better than him. Everyone deserved to be happy except him.
Shun shook his head, not wanting to think negative about himself again. He didn't want to get all depressed again. ‘’Thank you, Nii Nii Shun.", Airamyst suddenly whispered softly, snuggling up against Shun. Shun had not seen this coming, it had confused him at fist. But soon he smiled weakly, feeling tears sting his eyes. But they didn't fall. Here he was thinking negative about himself again and yet there was someone who made him feel useful. If only a little bit.
‘’What are you doing Takeru? Stop being pathetic. You are the most pathetic person in the world.’’, Shun thought to himself, it sounded like a small nagging voice in the back of his head, and Shun listened to it. He accepted it. He took in all the bad words, the insults, the feelings of pain and sadness coming the back of his own mind. No, he needed to stop this.
"I don't like her, don't like this school, don't like the teachers, don't like all but a few of the kids here...’’, Airamyst continued to speak and Shun continued to hug the boy, until Airamyst pulled away and turned around to look at Jeamesero. Shun looked at the boy as well, pointing at his own eyes as he looked at the boy.


‘’Jeames, you don't look bad without make-up, so right now I guess the best thing to do is go clean up your face. I don't want you to get bullied more, okay... Same goes for you Airamyst; stick with us and we will try to protect you to the best of our abilities.’’, Shun said, wondering if the two had heard him. He watched how Airamyst hugged Jeamesero and cried again, and whispered something to the boy Shun couldn't here. Airamyst's back was against his chest and even though Shun wasn't hugging him anymore, he didn't feel like moving away. If standing here like this would make Airamyst feel slightly better and less insecure and sad, then Shun would keep on standing here for as long as he had to.
He felt someone hug him from behind and got a bit startled a first. But as soon as he heard Hikaru's familiar voice he calmed down and too a deep breath, smiling weakly, their eyes not meeting as the boy was standing behind him.
H‘’You okay, bab-I-I mean Takeru?’’, Hikaru asked and Shun nodded, still standing there like a statue. ‘’Yeah, I'm okay’’, he lied, because he still thought all these negative things about himself, almost ever minute of the day. ‘’You don't need to comfort me... We better comfort the other two.’’
‘’Sorry I'm not very helpful man...’’, Hikaru whispered and Shun smiled again, this time turning away from Airamyst to look at Hikaru. ‘’Don't worry about it.’’
‘’I promise to try harder. I promise. I can't be this weak forever...’’
Shun nodded at Hikaru's words, grabbing the boy's hand and squeezing it for a second before letting go again and turning his head to look at Airamyst and Jeamesero. ‘’Jeames, you and Airamyst can go to the bathroom to clean your face and dry your tears, or you can do it here in the hallway quick. Hikaru and I were going to go to town, maybe visit a cafe to get something to drink. We wanted to take you two with us. You up for it? Then we will be away from this stupid school for a while...’’

‘’Yeah... She did... She hurt Jayjay then she... she flipped my skirt and... an-and...’’, Airamyst said and Jeamesero nodded. He stood there rubbing Airamyst's shoulder as Shun hugged the boy and comforted him. If only Jeamesero could do more. If only he could stop acting like weird person and make Airamyst feel better, help him, just like Shun was helping him right now.
‘’Thank you, Nii Nii Shun. I don't like her, don't like this school, don't like the teachers, don't like all but a few of the kids here....’’, Airamyst said and Jeamesero swallowed, feeling a bit left out. He was trying his best to help too but it wasn't really working out. He wasn't the one hugging Airamyst; he was simply touching his shoulder. That was all.
‘’Jeames, you don't look bad without make-up, so right now I guess the best thing to do is go clean up your face. I don't want you to get bullied more, okay... Same goes for you Airamyst; stick with us and we will try to protect you to the best of our abilities.’’, Shun said and Jeamesero looked at Shun, nodding at the boy. However, he hadn't really paid much attention to the boy's words. He just stood there, staring off into space.
Suddenly Airamyst turned around and looked at him, and he hugged Jeamesero. Jeamesero gasped, not sure what was happening and why this was happened, but soon he hugged the boy back, listening to his whispers to him.
‘’I'm sorry for what I said, Jeames... I really am... I just... I dunno I'm stupid or someding...’’, Airamyst said and Jeamesero nodded, smiling weakly for a split second before he felt tears sting his eyes again.
‘’You are not stupid Airamyst, you're nice and sweet, you're not stupid at all.’’, Jeamesero whispered; he didn't really know what else to say to the boy, because he wasn't really thinking straight. But he didn't want Airamyst to cry anymore so he decided to just be sweet and kind like he always was. Even though this hug made him feel slightly awkward. ‘’Let's go to the town together and just have lots of fun and after town I will show you my dorm room and we can talk about what you said earlier, okay? It will all be alright.’’
He pulled back from the hug and smiled at Airamyst, hoping the boy was feeling a bit better now. Because Jeamesero really didn't want the boy to be sad anymore. He wanted to see the boy's smile, he wanted him to be happy.


‘’Jeames, you and Airamyst can go to the bathroom to clean your face and dry your tears, or you can do it here in the hallway quick. Hikaru and I were going to go to town, maybe visit a cafe to get something to drink. We wanted to take you two with us. You up for it? Then we will be away from this stupid school for a while...’’, Shun suddenly said and Jeamesero looked up at him, sighing. He looked at Airamyst before bringing up his own arm and wiping the black streaks from his face, getting rid of the smudged make-up. Then he brought his hand up to Airamyst's face. He hesitated for a moment before wiping the tears from Airamyst's eyes with his thumb. He pulled back his hand after that, blushing slightly and looking at the ground rather awkwardly.
‘’There, you look good now...’’, he whispered, before asking: ‘’Is my make-up gone now? Do I look okay...?’’
he waited for a response from Airamyst and looked at Shun, hiding his hands in his pocket. ‘’Okay, we're ready to go... I wanna get away from this hell hole for a while.’’, he said, sounding way more serious and grown up than normally. Because he didn't feel like being childish right now. Because he didn't feel happy. ‘’Shall we go?’’
That's when his eyes fell on Shun's friend, the boy that had been beaten up by Daigo earlier. He stared at the boy, a rather shocked expression at the boy's wounds and black spots. ‘’A-are you okay now? Did the nurse take care of your wounds? Did Nii Nii take care of you?’’, he asked, an innocent look now on his face again. ‘’Does it hurt anywhere? Oh, and what was your name again? Because I didn't hear.’’

Roki crossed his arms, standing down the boy even though he had a tiny smile on his face. He didn't want to be a kid anymore and didn't want Mika to but upset with him for anything either but he was actually starting to get a bit confused. Suddenly Roki saw Mika cross his arms and make a face as he crossed his arms and spoke.
"No, I'm not ready to go. You either call me Nii Nii or Mika, or my second or third name, okay? I dislike the name Senpai, makes me feel all weird... Look Roki, I'm sorry for acting like this but you are not you right now."
Roki blinked in confusion up at the boy, his arms dropping to his sides. Suddenly the boy pulled him aside, away from the others, causing to yelp. He looked down at his feet as he was dragged a short ways away. Was the boy upset with him still?
"What has happened to you? Why did you run off? And where to? Why are you not acting like yourself? I miss the real Roki, the childish one. This serious and 'grown-up' Roki makes me feel uncomfortable, okay? Please, please act normal..."
Roki swallowed not sure what to say. He felt tears start to fill his eyes, very confused now by everything everyone was telling him. Almost everyone was telling him something different. So who's was right? And what did they all want from him?
"Now I'm ready to go. I um... I'm sorry. So, the library, was it? Let's go there right now. Please, follow me and... Roki."
Roki looked up and saw Mika turn back to the others addressing them before softly saying his name. He looked away again, really not wanting to look at the boy now. He felt no matter what he did he was upsetting the boy.
Suddenly he heard footsteps and looked up very slowly, not much though so as not to show his tears that were slowly falling down his cheeks now. He saw a boy a bit older then him, new like him from the looks of it, walking towards them.
"Excuse me. I'm new here. Nice jacket, by the way."
Roki blinked as the boy addressed Mika, wondering why he had only spoken to Mika. 'Maybe he doesn't even know me yet still thinks I'm childish... But that's what Nii-I mean... Mika wants no?' He thought to himself, his thoughts growing more and more confused as well.
He heard Abigail speak to the new boy and the boy answer but he wasn't sure what they said. He really didn't want to talk or think right now. Hot tears slowly fell down his cheeks and he took a few steps backwards, not daring to open his mouth.
Roki looked at his feet thinking about what he could say and wondering if his voice would sound okay. Finally he cleared his throat and swallowed a few times before trying. "I'm sorry no matter what I do I disappoint you, Senpai..." He murmured, sticking with teh Senpai name since he wasn't sure what else to say.
He nodded at teh other boy, looking at the bground away from him as he whispered again in a soflt voice. "Oh and hi... I'm Roki... Nice to meet you..." He let his voice trail off as a tiny very soft sob came out. He didn't dare say anymore right now.

Mikazaru was ready to leave for the library when suddenly a male voice caught his attention. He turned his head to see this boy coming their way. And it seemed like the boy had addressed him. ‘’Excuse me. I'm new here. Nice jacket, by the way.’’, the boy said and Mikazaru frowned. He saw the boy wink at him and swallowed; was the boy flirting with him? But they had only just met, they didn't even knew each other at all. ‘’And I'm already in love. I mean, I am, right...?’’, Mikazaru thought to himself. He remembered Shun, the boy he had bumped into and met in the boy's restroom. He had found Shun so handsome so he guessed it was love. And they were going to meet each other again tomorrow during lunch. Thinking about it made Mikazaru's heart skip a beat. He was nervous, afraid he would mess up or that Shun would not have the same feelings for him. ‘’Um, thanks...’’, Mikazaru said, not really sure what else to say. As far as he knew he was just wearing his regular school uniform like everyone else. This boy definitely seemed to be flirting with him. Mikazaru didn't know how to respond to this boy, what to do with him.
‘’Hi. Nice hair.’’, Abigail suddenly said, waking Mikazaru from his daydream. He looked at the boy who stood there with his back against the wall, just keeping himself out of the spotlights. Still, he had decided to say something to the flirty boy. Mikazaru wasn't sure if Abigail was being sarcastic or not. But it pretty much sounded like it, even though his face was serious.
‘’Hi, names Motomo. Thanks for the complement. And yours? Nice shirt by the way.’’, the flirty boy said and Mikazaru frowned at him again, sighing for a moment, through the others couldn't see. And he winked at Mikazaru again, he was really flirting a lot. Mikazaru didn't really feel all too comfortable with it.
‘’And he said it again, about the shirt. What's up with that, his way of flirting and catching other's attention?’’, Mikazaru thought before saying to Motomo: ‘’My name is Mikazaru, but call me Mika.’’
he knew Motomo had addressed Abigail and not him, but Mikazaru decided to say his name anyway. Because they should all at least know each other's name before getting showing around in school.


‘’I'm sorry no matter what I do I disappoint you, Senpai... Oh and hi... I'm Roki... Nice to meet you...’’, Roki then said and Mikazaru looked at the boy. He noticed the kid was crying and he swallowed, a sad look on his face. He didn't want Roki to be sad, he didn't want to see him cry. Why was he crying?
‘’Maybe I've been a little bit too rough with my words and actions towards him... I never wanted to make him upset, I just missed the real Roki, the childish one. He's not being himself...’’, Mikazaru thought, feeling rather guilty for the things he had said to Roki earlier. If only he hadn't said Roki had been so annoying, the boy wouldn't have run off and come back as a totally different person.
‘’Nice to meet you too, Roki. So, about that tour? Can I come along? Nice to meet you too.’’, Motomo said, before standing next to Abigail and waiting for Mikazaru to respond. Mikazaru looked at him, nodding his head. ‘’Yeah of course you can come, the more students being shown around on their first day, the better. Right? But first...’’, Mikazaru said to Motomo before turning around and looking back at Roki. He swallowed again, before walking over to the kid and patting his head. After that he hugged the younger boy like an older brother would, trying to comfort him.
‘’I'm sorry Roki, I didn't mean to make you upset...’’, he whispered, patting the kid's head again as he kept on hugging him. ‘’It's just that I was stupid for saying that, because I like the real Roki better, okay? I want you to call me Nii Nii, I don't mind. I want you to be you, not pretend you're someone else. I want you to be happy and cheerful, and full of energy like you were when I first met you, okay? Do you understand now, Roki? Please dry your eyes, I'm sorry. I want you to be yourself.’’
Mikazaru pulled back from the hug and rested his hand on Roki's shoulder, smiling down at him, weakly but warmly. He then turned around. ‘’Okay, I think now we're all good to go. Let's go to the library.’’, he said as he had his hand rested on Roki's shoulder still. He started walking towards the library, because they had to go there before it would close, because soon the school would close for the night and they would have to return to their dorm rooms or go home to their parents. Mikazaru needed to show them around as much as he could. ‘’Follow us.’’

Roki started at his feet, his head turned away from all the others so they would not see his tears if they fell onto the floor. He didn't really wanna cry but he was unsure what to do now, so many people said something different and now he was very confused.
"Nice to meet you too, Roki. So, about that tour? Can I come along? Nice to meet you too."
Roki just nodded and heard the boy moving. Looking up a tiny bit he saw the boy walk over and stand next to Abigail. He quickly turned his head so as not to call attention to himself as he heard Mika start to speak up.
"Yeah of course you can come, the more students being shown around on their first day, the better. Right? But first..."
He heard Mika's voice trail off and was going to say something but then he saw the boy's shadow pass in front of him. Quickly in confustion, and without thinking of his falling tears at the moment, he looked up just in time to feel the boy place his hand on his head. "Mika...?" Roki whimpered softly.
Suddenly he was pulled into a hug and he let out a tiny little yelp of confusion. Why was Mika acting like this? Was he that upset that Roki was trying to be more of a grown up like the boy had wanted?
"I'm sorry Roki, I didn't mean to make you upset... It's just that I was stupid for saying that, because I like the real Roki better, okay? I want you to call me Nii Nii, I don't mind. I want you to be you, not pretend you're someone else. I want you to be happy and cheerful, and full of energy like you were when I first met you, okay? Do you understand now, Roki? Please dry your eyes, I'm sorry. I want you to be yourself."
Roki set out a tiny whimper and sigh as he nodded his head and hugged the boy back. He closed his eyes and wiped his tears on the boys uniform shirt. "I'm sowwy, Nii Nii..." He whispered softly, only loud enough for the boy to hear him.
He felt Mika pull back from teh hug slowly, letting his own hands fall to his sides once more. He watched Mika place a hand on his shoulder and blush a tiny bit, growing a bit shy for some reasn all the sudden.
"Okay, I think now we're all good to go. Let's go to the library. Follow us."
After hearing his words, Roki felt Mika start to walk towards the library again, leading him with his hadn still on his shoulder. He wanted to say something to the boy, but he was still a bit confused. So without another word he followed Mika.
As they neared the room he whispered a few words under his breath, just loud enough for Mika. "I am still sowwy... I will make it all up to you soon... I pwomise..."

Yuki walked through the school's hallway in school uniform, with a faint blush on his face from the flue and a few tears rolling down his cheek. He was crying because he felt so sick and because he felt alone. He had left Mr. Whiskers behind in his dorm room and now felt stupid for not taking him along, even though students might laugh at him if he did take him with him to school. His plushy was his only friend, he had no one else. He really wanted some human friends, but Yuki was too shy to speak to other people. He was always scared around them.
‘’I miss Mr. Whiskers... I wanna cuddle with him...’’, Yuki thought to himself as he cried more and hugged himself, arms wrapped around his own body. He was too sick to be at school right now, too sick that it made him feel disorientated and like he was in a dream.
Yuki walked around a corner and his eyes fell on a group of students. They were all mixes of grades. Some seemed to be freshmen like him, others seemed to be sophomores or juniors. And one even looked like he was a senior. Why were they all together? Normally people would look for people with the same, grade, right? Yuki stood there for a moment, staring at them.
He decided to walk over to them and see what they were doing, listening to their conversations. Once he stood there he saw this younger boy being hugged and he thought for a moment he recognized the boy's face. After the older boy pulled back from the hug Yuki heard him say something about a library. The school's library, perhaps?
‘’Okay, I think now we're all good to go. Let's go to the library. Follow us.’’, the oldest boy said and they started to walk off. That's when it hit Yuki; this was like some sort of tour through the school. He was new here, he had to go along if he didn't want to get lost at school, so he quickly dashed after them, waving with his arms, making sure they would slow down for him. Maybe he could make some human friends this time.
‘’Wait, wait for me! I'm coming, too!’’, he said as he ran after them, catching up with them. He felt lightheaded all of a sudden, probably because he was sick, but the feeling soon faded away.
