Today is the 3rd day at work in this new town, and all Kye can think about was what happened last night.

Never in his mind did it come to a thought he could feel this way and so strongly towards another guy- and so fast too.

It's not like he hasn't had sex, but just not like that.

He now lays facing his co-worker sleeping 2 inches from him splayed out like he collapsed after the deed- both of them still bare and only covered by the blankets.

Kohji looked content in sleeping, if Kye was thinking anything, he thought about sex again.

The alarm clock went off and Kye shot up instantly as Kohji woke, the embarrassment of looking him in the face immediate after waking, and in their state was too much.

Kohji rolled on his back and was calm, "forget by morning huh?" he muttered then looked to his left to Kye siting up rubbing his head; "fuck up.."

"Tell a damn soul and I'll kill you" - Kohji sat and held his head with the headache that thudded, "relax... I don't plan to...like fuck I'm gonna tell the dudes at work.."

Kye began to get dressed and Kohji soon did, the time was ticking and they were already behind schedule. The rush to make it to work wasn't just the fact of being late- they didn't want that paranoid feeling like they got up to something to roll around; which it won't if they calmed down theoretically.

Work went smooth and nothing was asked or questioned how they turned up at the same time. They worked the counter like yesterday and no argument or fit ensued.

To be completely honest, Kye was not mad at all and Kohji seemed to be enjoying work.

Right now, there are customers browsing and the other two are on break-

"Hey..." Kohji whispered, Kye peeked over then back to the stacking of the bags under the counter, "yeah?"-

"You don't have a girl do you?"- Kye got embarrassed and dropped some bags when Kohji began to help- Kye nearly chocked when that non-amused  face was inches away- just like last night , "n-no... I don't..why?"

"What do you mean 'why'?!"

Kye was red faced and he stood up and looked around the store, trying to calm down again. "What about you..." he whispered, he hoped Kohji didn't, but he would understand why- he likes this guy for a reason he can't quite place his finger on yet.

Placing the finger...
The feel of his hair between his fingers sent a shiver up his spine- Wrong choice in words.

Kohji finished fixing the bags and now was leaning on the counter, "Nah... no one" he answered back, looked around the room then to Kye.

They both held eye contact for a little until Kye couldn't hold it and quickly looked away and out the store door- he had a chance now.

"Why ask me anyway... it's not like it's gonna happen again" Kye quietly announced as customers were approaching the counter- Kohji stood straight ready to greet-

"I was gonna tease a little so we could, but it's cool" he said.

Kye froze, and his heart felt like it stopped, This guy wants to?.

Before he could say anything the customers were already greeted and things were being scanned- he felt like he blew it- and not the way it should of been blown.

It was now the two's break at last, so they walked passed the monitors and all four stared off in silence.

They sat outside on the same step again, raining again, and this time Kohji was playing Street Fighter III.

Kye felt silly, and he wanted to say something- he wanted to get with Kohji again.

"What'chu playing?" he asked and looked over, Kohji blank faced paused and looked up-

"You"

"w-what?!"

Kohji showed the screen of the game, "I'm playing Street Fighter, what you kinda do" he said, Kye exhaled, "holy shit"

"Is it hard?" he asked, trying to keep his cool- this guy makes him so nervous.

Kohji shrugged his shoulders and looked to him, face still unchanged, "I don't know... you wanna feel?" he asked,

Kye jumped off the step immediately, "ALRIGHT" he breathed out. Kohji chuckled, he did this on purpose. "I was just kidding~"

He stood and placed the PSP in his pocket. Kye leaned on his knees, "dude, I'm weak.. stop doing that.."

Kohji walked up, "For a 'bad-ass', fighting, hates-the-world kind of guy....you're softer than soap" he said, Kye kinda laughed a little, and stood up right, "I know..."

He stood shorter than him, so he had to look up a little- Kohji was quite tall.

Kye felt the urge again, he bit his bottom lip and put his hands in this pockets- need to shake the feeling..

Kohj, on purpose, moved closer, inches away and angling his head towards Kye to tease-

"For the first time in all these years... I actually want to be here" he whispered; This registered to Kye, he's had those feelings before.

"A couple days ago, I got a letter from an old friend... a friend I.. really liked... she doesn't like me the same.. in fact, she.." Kohji was ending up saying under his breath. He stood back.

Kye saw in his face, heartbreak; and again he's had those feelings too- but now he was wondering if that's why things happened last night. Now he's mad.

Kye stood away and walked towards the stairs, Kohji stopped him, "It has nothing to do with what we did... it's just a problem I have to deal with tomorrow"

Kye held his anger as best he could, he liked this guy- and he doesn't feel the same way?.

"yeah, I'm sure it doesn't..." he growled. They were looking to each other, emotions seemed to be all over the shop so suddenly.

To his shock, Kohji out in the open held him and softly kissed him- Kye's heart was trying to jump out and his legs were trying to give out. He held on to Kohji and returned the kiss.

This feeling...

Does he really mean this?

Break was over and the two walked in, Kye nervous if they were seen; but luckily Travis and Barker were too busy with a crowd of customers to have checked the cameras.

They walked behind the counter and signaled the other two, who were flat out- they thought they saw Travis flip the bird at one point which was kinda funny.

In between serving and re-stacking, Kohji seemed to have stopped working and Kye looked to see a female talking to him.

She had long braided bleached hair, she looked too classy to be from this side of town- she reminded him of the other girls when he lived there.

He walked over with a box of Xbox360 games, "Hey, Where do I stack these?" he asked, he made eye contact this this woman, she was definitely here to talk to Kohji- this couldn't be the girl he spoke about she was meant to show tomorrow.

"Over here, I'll show you" Kohji said and lead the way- he was fed up.

"What the fuck is going on?..."
