Kei's thoughts turned over and over again in his mind. As he walked towards the train station, his thoughts turned to Mazuho and Herikawa. "What do I do?" he said to himself. Herikawa had called him down to the station quite late at night. He was pretty sure that she liked him, and if she did, he was not entirely sure what he would do, or what he could do. What if she wanted to continue what had started earlier...

As he walked his thoughts again turned to Mazuho, and the last several months. Sure they lived together, and sure he liked her, but he didnt know whether those feelings were something akin to love, or if they were because she was incredibly attractive. "Maybe its a little bit of both," he whispered to no one.

But then his thoughts turned to Herikawa. He had known her since they had been very little, and had always been friends. He was very close to her, almost if not more so then Hyosuke. He had had a slight crush on her, but then this whole Mizuho thing had started and that had kind of been set to the wayside. However, as he grew nearer to the train station, he began to have those same feelings again. She really was quite beautiful, and honestly, if Mizuho had not shown up, he would probably have asked Herikawa out. He chuckled as he remembered some of the fun times that the two of them had had. That date downtown really had been fun. Kei sighed. What am i supposed to do?

In the distance, he saw the station, and quickened his pace. His heart was actually racing. What is she going to say? What is she going to do? As he walked up the steps he took a deep breath. Well he thought, here goes everything. Turning the corner, he saw Herikawa.

"Hey Kei," she said somewhat shyly.

"Hey," he replied equally as shy.

Wow he thought. As he took her in. She really was quite attractive. Incredibly and breathetakingly attractive. Why hadnt he noticed this more before?

"Im sorry for calling you so late," she started as he took a seat next to her on the bench, "but you disappear often, and I didn't want that to happen again. Its like every time I blink, you disappear again..."

Kei could feel his heart racing faster and faster. "Well... uhh... I have low grades, and um, well Im really busy you know..."

"I see," she replied softly.

Kei couldnt keep his eyes off of her, my God, if she does anything I think I may not be able to restrain myself. He had to get out of there. He started to get up, "Look... um I don't have a lot of time so..."

As he got up however, she grabbed his shirt, and put her arms around him. "This is the first time Ive ever felt something like this. I just don't know what to do." she was sobbing now, "just watching isnt enough, just talking isnt enough, or even walking with you or being your classmate. Whenever I look at you my heart races so fast, and I get this feeling... that I dont know what it is, but I want to feel it even more!"

As she said this something inside Kei snapped. Everything finally came into focus. God he had been a fool for so long. All of the signs he had missed, all of the advances, all of the looks, the blushes. All these things that had been going on for so long. Suddenly he realized that he shared those feelings. That he cared for her too, but he had never really noticed that until now. He... loved... her, and here she was in his arms, opening her heart to him.

"I... love... you..." she said softly into his shirt. "But... I don't know what to do... so you can do anything you want..."

As he looked down at her tear soaked face, his heart melted. God she was so beautiful. And her eyes. "Such pretty eyes..." he whispered. Herikawa looked up again. Pulling her closer to him, began to wipe the tears from her eyes. "You really are beautiful when you cry... you know that..."

Herikawa blushed, "Kei..."

He leaned forward, "Shhhh..." he whispered, as he held her head, he leaned forward. As thier lips touched, he felt her shudder. Pulling her closer, and putting his arms around her, he deepened the kiss. Finally he felt her return the kiss, slowly at first, but becoming more and more passionate. His need for her had never been this great. Her lips were so soft. Clutching her hair as thier kiss deepened even further still, he let his togue out, gingerly, and let it explore her own, shy but passionate.

Pulling away for a second to catch their breaths, Kei once again took her in. A soft moan of need escaped her mouth. He felt that same need. He kissed her again. It really was a hot night he though, they were both sweating. He gazed at her, taking all of her in. Beads of sweat ran down her chest, and into the crevice between her breasts. Her skin was literally shining from the perspiration, and he loved every bit of it.

They kissed again, but this time she was the instigator. She pushed him backwards on the bench, and leaned forward into him, supporting herself with her hands. Why hadnt he done this sooner!

"Kei..." she managed to breathe as she parted again, "do you really think Im beautiful?"

Kei nodded, "Yes... your the most beautiful person I know... I just never noticed it before..."

She put her head on his chest, sobbing again. "Im glad..." she whispered, "Im so glad..."

Kei leaned back, stroking her hair softly. Leaning forward, he kissed her on the forehead. He suddenly thought of Mizuho, and what this all could mean. However, at the moment, he just wanted this moment to last forever.

"Kei," Herikawa whispered, "just hold me."

"Sure," he said.

Looking up at the stars, Kei felt something inside him stir, not unlike his standstills, but this was something differernt, something warm, something bright. Then he knew. So this is love... he thought.

As they lay intwined, Kei gazed into the stars. And for just a short time, time stood still.
