His first clue that he was gay should have been that he agreed to be Shinobu's boyfriend, but like always Misaki is in denial. How will Misaki deal with pretending to be Shinobu's boyfriend and having a possessive writer wanting him for his own? How will Professor Miyagi react when he finds out one of his students has a crush on him? What about Hiroki and Nowaki, do they find a way to steal the spotlight? Read and find out and comment if you would like more.

This story is AU, taking place in a high school setting where Shinobu and Misaki are classmates. Miyagi is their professor and Usagi is just Usagi. Hiroki is also a professor at the school and Nowaki is his lover like in the anime. The ages of the characters are the same as they are in the anime. Misaki 18, Shinobu 17, Usagi 28, Miyagi 35, Hiroki 28, Nowaki 24.

Disclaimer: I do not own the anime or characters, nor do I claim to know how to keep them in character. I'm basing this off a anime I saw in a language different from my own.

Warning: The fandom this is based on is heavy on the male love, so this is a homosexual fic, guaranteed to have homosexual situations, including, but not limited to, kissing, touching, molesting, smut. Read at your own risk. In case that wasn't clear enough, this is YAOI, BL, SLASH, whatever you call it.

As always please comment after reading. Thank you.

"It's like this," Shinobu said, staring at his friend Misaki. His face was set in stone; he looked absolutely serious. "I need you to help me out. Can you do me a favor?" The younger student asked. He sounded like he was hiding something, but what, Misaki hadn't a clue.

Trusting his younger friend, Misaki shrugged, "I guess so. But if it is anything to do with homework, then forget it!" He exclaimed, holding his arms out dramatically.

Shinobu scoffed, "you actually think I'd ask you for help with my homework?"

"You don't have to put it that way," Misaki complained, crossing his arms. So he wasn't really good at school. His brother Takahiro was trying to find him a tutor, then everything would be okay.

"So what is it, Shinobu?" Misaki asked quietly, because Professor You had just walked into the room. Misaki rolled his eyes when all the girls sighed, looking up at their thirty-five year old teacher.

Getting a far off look in his eyes, Shinobu sighed, almost in the same fashion as the girls had. Misaki raised an eyebrow.

"Pretend to be my lover, Misaki. I need you to help me out so I can have a little experience..." Shinobu blushed lightly, looking off to the side.

"You... WHAT!? PRETEND TO BE YOUR..."

"Not so loud, Misaki!" Shinobu grabbed his older friend, making an excuse to the professor. He dragged Misaki out of the classroom.

Miyagi You rubbed the back of his head, marking both boys down on a pad of paper. 'Detention... what is their deal? Seriously... I hate kids.'

Outside the classroom, Misaki was panting, nearly blood red, as he glared at his friend. "Are you kidding me, Shinobu? What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me," Shinobu glared right back. "I need your help is all! Don't friends help each other!? It's like in the rule book!"

"They don't help their friends be bloody gay!" Misaki yelled.

"I said pretend," Shinobu smirked.

"Same difference!" Misaki crossed his arms. "I am not going to be part of this. No way. I'm not gay."

Misaki took a step back when Shinobu's eyes seemed to get a sad, dull look to them. "If I can't ask you, who can I ask?" The younger asked quietly. "I may be seventeen, but I've had no experience in... I wouldn't know how to act around... around him... so I..."

"Him him!" Misaki groaned. "Oh my God, you.. you're..." The eighteen year old could feel himself almost giving in, but no, he had to stand firm. He wasn't gay, so pretending to be gay and doing gay THINGS would be a BAD idea.

"I'm not asking you to have sex with me," Shinobu pointed out. "Just like... couple things and, maybe holding hands and maybe some kissing and..." The male pondered. Just what did he want Misaki to do? Honestly, he didn't want to seem like a child when he approached the man he loved. "With that kind of stuff, you can pretend I'm a girl, right?"

It was true that Shinobu had features that could easily be mistaken for a girl, but Misaki knew better. Shinobu was pretty, sure, but he was still a guy.

"I hardly think it is as easy as that," Misaki whimpered. Why was his friend being so weird!? Was he being punished for being stupid enough to need a tutor?

"Please, Misaki," Shinobu gave Misaki his "lost puppy" look. Shinobu wasn't one to be all pouty and, well girly, but he was using his looks to his advantage here. He knew he had it in him to do it. "I'll let you pick out our dates."

"Pick out our dates! Shinobu... Hahhaha..." Suddenly Misaki laughed, looking like a deer caught in headlights. Shinobu blinked, confused. He turned around, seeing a couple of female students staring at them with wide eyes.

"Go for it, Takatsuki-kun! Win your man," one of the girls yelled, making the rest giggle, before they all ran off.

"Oh just perfect!" Misaki moaned, nearly dying on the spot.

All through out the rest of the day, boys and girls called to Misaki, trying to get him to give Shinobu a chance. Everyone had misread their interaction, of course the girls had thought Shinobu was confessing his love to Misaki.

"Give him a chance, eh Takahashi-kun?" A upperclassman said, slapping Misaki's back. It was true that in his part of Japan, people were more open minded, but this was crazy.

"Takahashi-kun, you and Shinobu are really sweet together... I-I wish you luck!" This time it was a young, blubbering girl. She quickly darted away, joining her friends. And wouldn't you know, they all started to giggle.

"I AM NOT GAY!" Misaki yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Denial isn't fun, Takahashi-kun..."

"I'M NOT IN DENIAL!" Misaki stormed out of the school, slamming the doors shut, extra loudly. He ran down the concrete steps, only to bump into Shinobu, the last person he felt like seeing.

"Teeheeheheee..." A big group of girls started to giggle and whisper to each other. Misaki went red when he heard one of them ask another who would be top and who would be bottom.

"They're both so girly," One had the nerve to add.

'Of course if I was gay I would so be the man!' Misaki inwardly complained, imagining horrible, horrible things happening to girls everywhere. 'I'm not girly at all. Those girls are just jealous I got the so-called attention of a 'cute' boy they would have liked for their selves.'

"Earth to Misaki," Shinobu rolled his eyes, while waving a hand before Misaki's face. "Misaki, did you even hear me? What are you day dreaming about?"

"Nothing to do with being gay if that is what you're thinking!" Misaki shouted, then glared. 'Why, oh why am I such an idiot? I think my brother's air headed ways are rubbing off on me.'

"Oh you're hopeless," Shinobu sighed. "I'll ask someone else, but I might end up getting raped in the process... you're the only one I trust and all..."

"Don't say that!" Misaki groaned. Now he had to help. Why did Shinobu have to go and make him feel guilty, and a little worried too?

Shinobu would have beamed if he were the beaming type; he knew he had 'won' his friend over with the look he was getting. "Thank you," Shinobu said, grabbing Misaki's hand. He winked at the older teenager. "Boyfriend!"

Misaki couldn't help but blush at that, "This is embarrassing! People are waaatching!" He complained as Shinobu dragged him down the school yard.

"Don't be silly," Shinobu smiled. "Everyone knows we're 'together' anyway. I saw a group of kids taking bets even..."

"Bets on what?" Misaki said, dreading the answer.

Shinobu paused, causing Misaki to bump into his back. "I'm not sure you want to hear about what they were betting on." At his words, the younger teenager slightly blushed. "The guys in our class are pretty crude, you know?"

"Ah..." Misaki inwardly kicked himself for blushing. "I don't even want to know!" He exclaimed, allowing himself to be pulled toward Shinobu's fancy sports car.

The Takatsuki family were very well off. Shinobu had had the choice of having his very own driver, but had decided against it. He was a teenager wanting his independence; he didn't want some old person always around.

Around the corner, set a car even more fancier then Shinobu's. The man inside the car idly held a cigarette between his lips as he watched Shinobu and Misaki walking together. The man zeroed in on their clasped hands, getting an grouchy look on his handsome face. "This could be a problem," The man murmured.

His name was Usami Akihiko, a twenty-eight year old novelist on the outside and a boy's love mangaka in secret, using another penname. Usami, or Usagi as he was mostly called, started up his red sports car, silently following Shinobu's car as it headed out of the school parking lot.

The boy he was following was someone he knew quite well. Usagi's best friend Takahiro Takahashi was Misagi's brother. There had been a point in his life where Usagi had been in love with Takahiro, but that all changed when he finally saw his love would never be returned; Takahiro getting married was proof of that. Usually he wouldn't have given up, but all his affection and desires suddenly were on Takahiro's little brother and all because Misagi had let him cry over his heartbreak. It was then Usagi thought "so this is the one?" It hadn't been Takahiro at all, his one was Misagi Takahashi.

Usagi had kissed Misaki that day to stop his crying. All Misaki had did in response was to blush, but despite the "I'm not gay" sign he wore when around him, Misaki let Usagi hang all over him. It was the least he could do for someone who had just had his heart broken.

Thank you for reading. I'd like to point out that up until this point Misaki and Usagi have only had that one kiss, but Usagi is wanting to change that. Please comment and I'll post up more.
