Reiku jumped as his name finally reached his ears, and he jerked away from Michael's touch.
"I...what?" He shook his head, his memory slowly returning to him. That's right...he and Michael had been talking.....it was coming back. "My-kun...I didn't...like... hurt you or anything, right?" He climbed off the bed, hastily grabbing up his neatly folded clothing and clutchig it to his chest. He was still fuzz on so much, if he'd hurt Michael in any way he'd never forgive himself.

"No, not at all. Whatever do you mean. Oh HOLY CRAP! Sorry, Rei, I have 'got' to get out of here. I have Music Theory 'right now.' Sorry, feel free to use my shower and facilities. I got to go!"
He rocketed out the door and down the hall, a reverberating "Sorry" came back down to Reiku's ears.

Reiku breathed a sigh of relief as Michael disappeared out his door. He sat on the boy's bed, dropping his head, his shoulders slumping. Good, so Michael still had no idea what he was talking about. And if nothing happened, then maybe he hadn't blacked out after all. Maybe those episodes really were behind him.
He decided to take Michael up on his offer and hopped into the shower. It wasn't until he came back into the room, towel draped over his head that he realized he had no way of locking Michael's door. Hee frowned, thinking of all the pranking that went on i unlocked rooms...just ask Sanzo. One could hear that kid bellowing u and down the dormitories. He sat on the bed once more, deciding to wait for Michael to return. It wasn't as though he had any early classes to rush off to this term.
With a slight smile he picked up one of Michael's pillows and held it close to his chest, breathing it deeply. His scent was vague but still lingered, and Reiku took the oppurtunity to memorize it. Who knew how long it would be before the bubble of this little happy illusion popped?

Michael stepped into his room carefully, realizing that he hadn't locked it behind him. He shook his head, a little ashamed of himself for being so foolish. "Hey, Rei-kun, you still here?" He then walked into the room.

Reiku's eye's flew open and he sat bolt upright on the bed. He'd fallen asleep again? How embarassing. His eyes grew wide as he realized he was still clutching Michael's pillow and quickly tossed it behind him with nervous titter. He jumped up from the bed, smiling at Michael.
"Hi hi, My-kun, how was your class?" He had run up to the boy, and was about to throw his arms around his neck when he stopped himself. What was he thinking? He was acting like he hadn't seen the boy in weeks instead of little over an hour.
"I, uh, I hope you weren't too late because of me. I'm a bit of a heavy sleeper. My uncle used to say if the house ever caught fire in the middle of the night I'd be a goner... I didn't mean to impose by staying overnight. I guess I was more tired than I thought."

"Oh, yeah, it was fine, absolutely. The teacher was gone when I got there, so he had no idea." He smiled, puting his arm around Reiku with a grin. "Besides, he's goin' over the basics of music right now. It's all stuff I know."
He ruffled Rei's hair a little. "I see you like to sleep on my bed though. Don't worry, you can stay here anytime you want, okay? But that means I get to do the same in your room, yo." He flushed a little as something crossed his mind.
"You better be careful, though. Next time I might just take a peak, down there." He pointed to Rei's waist. He then kissed the crimson-haired boy ont he fore-head and let out a giggle.

Reiku chuckled softly as Michael ruffled his hair. But his eyes widened with a visual blush at the boy's later comment.
"My-kun!" he cried, unable to meet his eyes. He raised his hands to his cheeks, as though that could make the reddening fade. "I can't believe you said that! And this from the guy who was so shocked and appalled yesterday." He didn't mention the slight flutter that the thought of such a peek brought to his stomach. Especially when he remebered that though he had fallen asleep fully clothed, he had awoken in just his boxers.
"but...um...your welcome in my room anytime...." he added quietly.

He hugged Reiku close, being fully flushed himself, even though he had brought himself into this. "I'm sorry, that just kinda.. came out." He shook rattled his head to shake himself out of it. "Um, but thank you."
"Um, so what class do you have next." He was regretting his very unspectacular comment, and trying to change the subject to releave some of his emberrasment.

"I have English soon, actually. Damn is that language hard....they stress too many syllables, ne?" He groaned, thinking about the class.
"The teacher is one of those crazy teachers who never stop speaking the language like ever...half the time I have no idea what she's talking about. And if you can't figure out what she means...." he shuddered. "So I've been studying extra hard."

"English? My Mom was American, that's why I have an American given name. I know it... kinda well. It is pretty crazy. Nowhere near as consistant as Japanese, ne? Those Americans are just so crazy, yo!" He shook his head.
"So what do you want to do for the rest of this break, huh? We have a little time until I have to go to Chemestry." He looked down, curiously.

"Wow...well, that explains a lot, ne? Maybe you can help me study sometime. That would things loads easier, I bet. Wow, your mom's American....So have you been to America?"
Reikulooked dow at his watch, and is stomach grumbled. He had skipped dinner last night, and now he was starved.
"Well, maybe we can head to the student union and grab a bite to eat and watch music videos on the big screen or something. I heard thet installed a new Dance Dance machine or something." He looked up at Michael, a mischievious twinkle to his eyes. "But first..." He lunged at Michael, tackling him backward onto the bed and giving him a kiss.

His eyes were wide. "Wow... That was amazing. I hope you don't get stingy with those." He too looked at his watch. "OH CRAP!!! Math! God, I hope this doesn't keep happening! Catch you at lunch, kay?" He brought Rei outside the door with him hastily, locking the door.
"Sorry, don't want to leave you room sitting again." He readjusted his books and took off to Math class.

Reiku giggled at Michael's comment about being stingy, ducking his head slightly. He was so funny. But his brows drew together tightly in concern at his exclamation.
"Aw man...time gets away so quickly sometimes," Reiku replied with a slight pout. He frowned changed to a smile as Michael took his hand within his own, however, as he brought him out of the room with him. He cast a wistful glance at the rumpled bed as the door slid closed.

He sat down in his desk chair, facing forward at the bed, waiting for Reiku to sit down. He sighed heavily. He wished it didn't have to be this way, but he couldn't help it. He had to know what was going on and he deserved to nkow after that whole episode.

-------> boy's hallway
Reiku kept his head down as he entered the room sitting on the floor and drawing his knees to his chest. He rested his chin on his knees and looked to michael as he sat on his bed, his expression miserable.
"All right..." Reiku began without preamble. there was no sense in dragging things out any longer. He had tried to keep it to himself, and look how well that turned out.
All right, I warned you. If he bolts, you can't be surprised. Reiku frowned, shoving those negative thoughts to the back of his mind. Shut up!
"All right... so... I've only had one relationship before. he was my best friend. We grew up together....I thought I knew him. he said he loved me. but one day.... this new girl moved to the neighborhood. Suddenly he didn't want to be around me anymore.
"He knew what it was like for me back home. He knew I didn't have anywhere else to go. And the headaches....they were getting worse and worse. I couldn't stand it, I started blacking out. I thought I was passing out from the pain, but when I woke up...bad things had happened. And after a while fingers started poinitng at me. it didn't matter that I couldn't remember anything..."
"My friend said I was saying and doing awful things to his girlfriend, that I needed to quit being so petty because what we had didn't work out. he told me he didn't even want to be friend with me anymore if I didn't cut it out, but I didn't know what he was talking about. I begged him not to go. I said maybe if he gave me another chance maybe it would all stop....maybe it would have. Maybe."
Tears were streaming down Reiku's face, but he kept going. He couldn't stop now even if he wanted to. Everything came out in a flood of raw emotion, he didn't think or analyze what he said, he just let it all out.
"But it wasn't ok. And he didn't give me another chance. The last thing I remembered was crying in my room, and my brother's wife was yelling at me through the door, and my head was killing me. All I could think about was how much I hated that b***h, if she hadn't come along...everything would be different. I wanted her dead. And I thought I meant it, but I didn't. Not really. I didn't want her dead. " he shook his head violently side to side. "I DIDN'T WANT HER DEAD!" Reiku buried his face in his arms, but continued to speak. his voice came out muffled and shaky, and his shoulders trembled.
"When I woke up...there was blood everywhere...and she was dead, and my friend he was huddling in the corner. he was holding his arm to his chest and crying. I got up to go to him, to ask what was wrong, and he started screaming at me to drop the knife and to get away from him. I didn't understand, but when I looked in my hand, there was a butcher knife there..."
He couldn't go on anymore. The images of that night flashed before his eyes again and again, and he clutched at his head, rocking back and forth.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it..." Reiku chanted it over and over, like a mantra.
