— April 13 2026

A week had passed since the entrance ceremony and 2 days since the twin's reunion. Since it was still the first week of the school year, they have no one close enough to hangout with, so they spent the weekend together, catching up with each other.

Monday now came. Kiyoshi and Kiyotaka sat in their seats. Kiyoshi took the seat in front of Kiyotaka, since there wasn't anyone there yet. Kiyoshi rambled on and on about the animes he have watched and began suggesting them to Kiyotaka who listened wholeheartedly, well until they were disturbed by two pair of students.

"Good Morning, Yamauchi!!"

"Good Morning, Ike!"

The two students greeted each other. Kiyoshi was wondering why were they early if they didn't attend school this early. Kiyotaka only looked at them thinking if he should make friends with them. Kiyoshi turned back and saw the glint in his eyes.

"Whew, man! I was looking forward to today so much that I barely slept last night"

"Ah ha ha! This school is just the best! I can't believe it's almost time for swimming! And when I say swimming, I mean girls! And when I say girls, I mean girls in swimsuits"

Kiyoshi heard them spoke to each other and frowned. His gaze then went to Kiyotaka who was staring at Ike and Yamauchi, his gaze seem to hold a bit of longing and envy to which Kiyoshi understood and felt sad for.

He knew that Kiyotaka wanted to live a normal life, free from the dangers and shackles. And now that he is somewhat living a normal life, his intentions is to have a friend other than him. Kiyoshi couldn't imagine how lonely and painful it must have been for his twin when he left the facility.

"Kiyo, you can talk to them you know? Just because I'm here, doesn't mean you should limit yourself from socializing with others. I'll still be here when you want to, okay? I'm not going to disappear again, I swear on my life" Kiyoshi spoke quietly but loud enough for Kiyotaka to hear.

Kiyotaka heard what he said which made him look at Kiyoshi. He saw that his face is full of guilt, sadness and understanding which made his heart go soft. The corners of his mouth twitched, suppressing a small smile, however his gaze showed love and gratefulness towards Kiyoshi who blushed a bit.

"Don't be feel sad or guilty about it okay? Besides, even if I want to make friends, I wouldn't exchange you for it. Whatever I choose, I need you by my side. Friends is only a part of what I want but you are what I need, Kiyoshi. Always remember that" Kiyotaka whispered, his soft eyes reflected Kiyoshi stunned expression.

"I didn't know, we felt the same way, Kiyo" Kiyoshi said with a grin, showing the happy-go-lucky him that Kiyotaka loves about Kiyoshi. Their talk drifted from their confessions to some random topics, with Kiyotaka listening to Kiyoshi while also gazing and listening at what his classmates are up to.

However their peaceful conversation was interrupted when a familiar black haired girl showed up, gazing at Kiyotaka, and spoke.

"Pathetic" Horikita said as she gazed at Kiyotaka with disgust. Kiyoshi who saw this, unknowingly gripped the chair, he tried to control his expression and anger. He wanted to slap that mouth of hers for speaking and gazing at his lover that way.

"So you're here too huh, Horikita?" Kiyotaka said, his brown stoic eyes stared at her. Her comment didn't bother him even a bit, however he knew his Kiyoshi would be angry at that so he tried to start a conversation to try make Kiyoshi forget about her comment.

"I just arrived while you were looking at those boys over there. You didn't notice me. If you want to be their friend, why not try just talking to them?" Horikita asked Kiyotaka. Kiyoshi, who was at the side listening at them, rose a brow at Kiyotaka when she said that he was looking at other earlier.

"Shut up and leave me alone already. If I could just do it, I wouldn't be agonizing over it" Kiyotaka said, his eyes showed a spark of annoyance that had gone unnoticed by the female but Kiyoshi noticed. Kiyoshi became sad again st the thought of his lover unable to gain friends. He knew that his lover doesn't know what to do to start having friends because of their upbringing.

"From what I've seen, you don't seem to be unsociable or lacking in communication skills, though" Horikita asked, slightly curious.

"Theres are a lot of reasons why I can't do it. So far, you're the second person I've been able to talk to, Horikita" Kiyotaka said truthfully. This made Horikita curious.

"Who's the first one? It's this cheerful idiot, isn't it?" Horikita said after she saw Kiyoshi, who was now doodling on a paper that Kiyotaka gave him. The insult made Kiyotaka narrow his eyes in anger and annoyance. His hand that was under the table, unknowingly clenched.

"I hope you're not talking about Kiyoshi? As far as I've known him, he may be innocent but that doesn't mean he's an idiot" Kiyotaka said after hiding his anger deep down. Kiyoshi heard his name mentioned and looked at Kiyotaka who he saw was irritated. His doe eyes looked at Horikita who turned her gaze away from him.

"Well as far as I've seen, he's like everyone else, although a bit more tolerable than others. However my opinion about him still stands" Horikita said, not caring if she offended or hurts the one she's mentioning. Kiyotaka heard her and he gritted his teeth.

"That's a bit mean to say, Horikita-san. Just because I don't seem like I'm smart, doesn't completely mean that I'm an idiot! Hmph!!" Kiyoshi spoke up, his innocent persona showing, however his only intention is to give time to calm down Kiyotaka, who realized what he was doing a second later.

"Also, I already warned not to but you wouldn't be thinking of me as your friend, would you?" Horikita asked Kiyotaka who finally calmed down. Kiyoshi didn't mind getting ignored by her to he went back to drawing Kiyotaka.

"It's fine. No matter how low I sink, I'd never dream of being your friend" Kiyotaka said. His words only holds truth, as he doesn't want to be friends with someone who belittles his Kiyoshi. Meanwhile Kiyoshi held his giggle with his hand as he heard Kiyotaka's reply.

"I see. I feel a little relieved"

"Hey Ayanakouji!" Ike called out. Kiyotaka looked at him while Kiyoshi was confused at first but then remembered that he isn't an Ayanakouji anymore. He blushed and bowed his head so nobody would see, unbeknownst to him that Kiyotaka saw his reaction and wanted to tease him, however he decided not to since they were out in public.

"What is it?" Kiyotaka asked hopeful at the chance of having friends. Horikita left his their table as Ike approached. Kiyoshi listened in their conversation while he continued to draw on his paper.

"To tell you the truth, we're taking bets on the girl's chest sizes"

"We've come up with some probabilities"

After hearing that, Kiyotaka tensed. He wondered why would these boys talk about it, in the classroom where the girls are present. He began to wonder if this is normal behaviors for boys or its just their group. Meanwhile, Kiyoshi who heard them, stopped his drawing and fully listened to them.

Soon the guy called 'Professor' took out a tablet and opened a spreadsheet where the girl's names are listed. Kiyoshi took a peek at it. He wasn't that surprised since his research about these guys already gave him enough info that he can tell that they're perverts.

"Is it okay if I join you?" Kiyotaka asked them, surprising Kiyoshi who stared at him with wide eyes. He never would've thought that his lover would participate something so...indecent, but he then remembered that he was seeking for friends so he must have done it for that.

Nonetheless, Kiyoshi is still felt a bit angry at that, since if they're picking a girl with big chest then his Kiyotaka would think about the girls and other details. He didn't want Kiyotaka to think of the girl's chests because he knew that he can't compare to them since he's a boy.

"I apologize but I don't want to join you guys. I...swing the other way, if you get what I mean" Kiyoshi said as he didn't want to hear his Kiyotaka talking about other people's chests. All of the students in the classroom heard him and was surprised. The girls, mainly the fujoshi's became excited when some boys became hopeful, meanwhile Kiyotaka was stunned that Kiyoshi just went out of the closet that easily.

His brown eyes watched as Kiyoshi goes back to his seat and began writing on his notebook, before he turned back to the boys who was still talking about Sakura getting asked out by Yamauchi. Kiyoshi began to get jealous and sulked alone while he began writing anything on his notebook.

The class then started with Kiyotaka finding out that his Kiyoshi is sulking. He then realized that he might be jealous that he joined in such a conversation about girl's chests. So as soon as the first class ended, he immediately turned to Kiyoshi who was sulking.

He patted Kiyoshi's hair, which made him look up in surprise. Kiyotaka saw his downcast eyes, he immediately felt guilty and explained himself.

"Sorry if I joined in something indecent like earlier, Kiyoshi. I just thought that it was a chance to build a circle of friends but I didn't think of what you would feel first" Kiyotaka whispered to Kiyoshi who shook his head before he looked at down.

"No don't be sorry about that. It's okay. I know how much you want to live a normal life and have friends, and I know you'll take the opportunity when something like earlier happened. I'm just...being dumb and jealous about the topic you guys were talking about..." Kiyoshi admitted as he began fiddling with his nails, nervously. Kiyotaka felt his chest tighten at what he said.

"Its not dumb to be jealous. It's normal actually, well for me it's normal. Besides, even when I was thinking of their chests, I actually felt nothing. So don't worry more about it, okay? I don't want your mood to be ruined because of those negative thoughts" Kiyotaka said as he lightly flicked Kiyoshi's forehead, like he's getting rid of those bad thoughts.

"...is that the truth? You don't have to lie, just you know. I can...accept that. I know for a fact that I can't compete against girls when it comes to those aspects, big butts, slim waists and big chests. I don't even have a vag–mph!" Kiyoshi was cut off when Kiyotaka silenced him by putting his finger on Kiyoshi's lips, as if to shush him.

"I don't care whatever they have. I know they have those but why would I care about them when they didn't even know who or what I am before? They weren't there when I needed someone. They weren't there to save me from the darkness that constantly looms over me. But you were there. All the time. You, saved me. Not them. And that's all that matters to me, Kiyoshi. Nothing else" Kiyotaka said seriously.

Kiyoshi felt his eyes tear up but he wiped it immediately, afraid that someone might see them. And he giggled in pure happiness, the sight of a happy Kiyoshi made Kiyotaka feel warm and satisfied. Unknowingly his emotionless eyes soften.

Lunch had finally ended and the awaited pool time had started. The boys immediately went to the locker room where they would change. Most of the guys were pumped up at seeing the girls and the swimming pool. As they began changing, Kiyotaka and Kiyoshi couldn't help but notice how everyone has towels on while they change, except for Sudou.

Before Kiyotaka could ask, Kiyoshi spoke up, unintentionally interrupting his lover.

"Sudou-kun, you have a good build! No wonder you don't seem nervous at all while changing. Do you do sports by any chance?" Kiyoshi said with a smile, as he stopped changing. He was sitting on the bench in the room and was in the process of taking off his shirt, so a bit of his place skin is shown along his pale slim legs since he took off his pants already.

This was the sight some of the boys drooled at, including Kiyotaka, who realized that there are many eyes on his lover right now. Sudou, who snapped out of his trance, answered him.

"Uh yes. I'm actually playing basketball since young. Also it's not entirely about the body of the person. In sports, you can't be flustered everytime you change. If you act all shifty, it'll have the opposite effect. You become the center of attention" Sudou said before saying that he'll go on ahead.

Before he went out, all boys saw that he was blushing and some were jealous that he got a compliment from the cutest guy in the school. Meanwhile Kiyoshi went back to changing.

Kiyotaka stared at him, waiting since he finished changing as well. His brown eyes stared on Kiyoshi's pale skin and just below his flushed earlobe is a faded hickey, that he just remembered that he gave to Kiyoshi. That's when he also noticed more hickies on his shoulders and collarbone, however it was smaller and can be mistaken as a insect bite.

Thankfully it was almost unnoticeable or else Kiyoshi would've been bombarded with questions from both boys and girls. Kiyotaka felt his face warm up the longer he stared at the hickies he left on Kiyoshi, since it made him remember how he gave it to him.

"I'm done. Shall we go, Kiyo?" Kiyoshi asked, which snapped Kiyotaka out of his indecent thoughts. Thankfully he didn't have a reaction yet, so he immediately agreed and both lovers went out, leaving a jealous group of boys.

—

As the lovers went to the pool, they were greeted with a fifty meters pool. Kiyoshi looked unbothered as he saw the pool, while the others, except for Kiyotaka, cheered when they saw the pool. Kiyotaka saw Kiyoshi's reaction.

"Why don't you look surprised? Did you have a bigger pool back home?" Kiyotaka asked, however he already had a feeling as to what the answer is. Kiyoshi smiled and nodded before he explained.

"Yup! Much much larger than this. However it's not frequently used, and mostly I'm the only one using it while my family either stay outside of the pool or working in their offices. I remember how badly I wanted to swim there with you, playing with the water" Kiyoshi said as his eyes dazed, going into a trance as he began remembering those times.

"Maybe when we visit our home, we could do that and anything you want. I'm looking forwards to that" Kiyotaka said with a smile which made Kiyoshi smile back, however their small moment got interrupted by the other boys who were talking about the whereabouts of the girls, who haven't arrived yet.

While listening to them, Kiyotaka side eyed Kiyoshi, who looked at the boys with mischief glinting in his eyes. Kiyotaka sighed and figured that his lover told the girls of the boys' plans, to which he figured that Kiyoshi would do that.

Kiyotaka talked to the boys while Kiyoshi stayed beside him, waiting for the class to start. Kiyoshi was then broken up from his trance when he heard Yamauchi and Ike yell. His doe brown eyes looked at them and saw Kushida wearing a school swimsuit. His eyes couldn't help but look at her body before his eye drifted to Kiyotaka who stared at her.

Kiyoshi felt a sting in his chest and decided to walk away from there with an aching heart. Meanwhile Kiyotaka stared at Kushida's figure, from her chest to her thighs and he admitted that he underestimated her body.

However as he stared at her, he couldn't help but think of Kiyoshi's figure. Although his beloved doesn't have a big chest and very curvy body like the girls, Kiyoshi still has it. He remembers his slim Kiyoshi's waist is, his comfortable and squeezable his bum is, how addicting his chest is and especially how intoxicating his face when he cu–

Kiyotaka then stopped thinking about Kiyoshi's body before he get a reaction that he doesn't want. He looked away from Kushida-which he didn't know if he continued to stare at her while he was thinking about Kiyoshi. As he was looking at the distance to try and take his mind away from his beloved, he was approached by Horikita.

He sighed as he got to look at her body. It was a below than Kushida's but he still thinks that it will be sought after by guys. His eyes then looked at her narrowed ones, before he got hurt by her again and that's when he noticed her eyes checking him out.

"Ayanokouji-kun, do you exercise by any chance?" She asked Kiyotaka who was slightly distracted since he noticed his lover afar sitting at the edge of the pool, looking sad. He decided to finish his conversation with Horikita after answering her question.

"Huh? Oh. No, not really. I'm not proud of this but in middle school I was the kid who never had any after-school plans" Kiyotaka said as he stared at Horikita's eyes, and when he saw that she still wanted to insist, he sighed in irritation.

Their conversation about his build continued back n forth until Horikita let it go hesitantly and with Kushida interrupting and talking to Horikita. He took that chance and went to Kiyoshi who looked at him approaching, with a small frown and dull eyes.

He sat down beside him and Kiyoshi stayed unusually quiet. He then looked around and when he saw no one nearby, he held up Kiyoshi's face and gave him a heated kiss. Kiyoshi gasps which gave Kiyotaka a chance to slip in hi tongue to play with Kiyoshi's.

Kiyoshi gripped Kiyotaka's arm as a support. His mind began to fog while his legs began to remble as pleasure kicks in. Kiyotaka, who kept watch at his lover's responses to his kiss, began to get aggressive. He vented his indecent thoughts and sexual urge through the kiss. As he felt Kiyoshi's grip on his arm weaken, he pulled away. A thin clear string was connect from both mouth, before Kiyoshi broke it as he leaned in his lover's chest, panting and gasping for air while also regaining his control over his trembling body.

Kiyotaka wiped the corners of Kiyoshi's mouth before he wiped off his. He then began rubbing Kiyoshi's back and kissed his head as comfort, since he thinks he isn't that good with soft words and he is much better showing his comfort and love with his actions.

Kiyoshi who's finally recovered, realized his lover's intentions and his proof, which made him snuggled into him more. Then they pulled apart when they both heard the students began to get silent, however they still held each other's hands.

"Alright everyone, line up!" A macho middle aged man yelled to gather everyone together. Kiyotaka squeezed Kiyoshi's hand and pulled him to the line, some girls noticed their held hands and squealed to themselves.

"There are sixteen of you, huh? I thought there would be more but this is alright" The teacher said as he stared at the students who were present. He didn't mention those who were skipping his class, which Kiyotaka took notice of before shrugging it off. Meanwhile, Kiyoshi's enjoyed Kiyotaka's warm hand.

"After you warm up, I want to see what you can really do. Swim for me"
