CHAPTER 5
Why? Just why did he have to ask? The answer was even worse then the kiss. But how could he know that he would not want to know the answer after Yamashita had told him it? Kusano kicked his shoes of so they hit the wall. "I've been in love with you ever since, EW!" Kusano continued talking to himself, quoting what Yamashita had said, until he had slammed the bedroom door behind him.

Burying his face into the now pink pillow, he hammered his fist to the mattress. Biting the fabric he swung it around like a dog playing with its toy.

“Ne… Hironori” a girl voice said from outside the door. “You angry?...” it was his little sister. She always got scared when Kusano was acting mad.

Rolling around to lay on his back Kusano replied with a clear ‘No’.

“… there is a guy here to see you, I’ve never seen him before” she told him.

“It’s not Shige?”

“Nope”

Fuck. If it was Yamashita he was going to hang himself. “I’ll be right there, tell the dude to wait in the hall”


Arriving downstairs a few moments later he found Yamashita doki doking with the family’s dog. “Oi, come here boy” Kusano said to the dog and whistled him over. He so had to wash the dog afterwards.

Yamashita raised himself up and sent Kusano a shyly smile. “You just left…” he sounded hurt.

“So?” Kusano snapped quickly and spanked the dog’s arse so it would leave the room.

“I get that you might…” Yamashita took his eyes of Kusano and focused on a picture on the wall. “That you might be disgusted by it, but it would have been just the same if it had been a girl you did not like that had confessed to you ne?”

“No.”

“Oh come on, don’t be childish!” Yamashita said in an angrier tune.

“I am”

“FINE!” Yamashita yelled and opened the door. “See you at school, brat!” and with that Yamashita slammed the door, making a picture fall down from the wall.

“BRAT BACK AT YOU!” Kusano yelled and kicked the door. Yet again mumbling ugly words, he slammed the door to his room and locked it.
