Character(s): Ren Yukio & Yousuke Kiyama
Time: 6pm
Location: Staff Dorms
"I can't believe I'm doing this.." Ren muttered under his breath as he was walking to the staff dorms. "What am I even going to say?" He panicked as he was pacing back and forth. It wasn't like Ren to ask people for advice - but if it was from You-nii, it was always a must for Ren. He always had his advice to help guide him to the right path and to the right decisions.
This was awkward - especially for Ren, since his apology wasn't only a few days ago. "Would he even help me...?" All these doubts and thoughts were rushing through Ren's head and he couldn't stop them. He knocked on the door - "Y-yousuke..nii!" He shouted, "Are you there?" He growled as he was getting impatient -
"HOY OPEN THIS DOOR BEFORE I KICK IT DOWN"

Yousuke had just returned from dinner at the cafeteria. He had eaten more than he usually did, as he had spent his energy all day by playing sports with the kids, and was now feeling stuffed from the giant meal. It wasn't too serious, though, and it was nothing that a good rest couldn't fix! Eager to wash up and then head off to an early sleep, the man entered the hallway where his dorm room was located.
"Y-yousuke..nii! Are you there?"
Yousuke blinked in surprise. What was Ren doing there? Still rather confused, the man stayed put and merely watched the student in front of him knock on the door to the empty door.
"HOY OPEN THIS DOOR BEFORE I KICK IT DOWN"
"I can't, I'm behind you." Yousuke said loudly as he headed over to join Ren. Laughing kindly, Yousuke opened the door to the room and entered the doorway, turning around to face Ren. "Come on in~" he sang, and then fully entered the room while leaving the door behind him open.

"YOUSUKE" Ren continued shouting, getting prepared to kick the door down. Then a familiar voice spoke - "I can't, I'm behind you." Ren's eyes widened and turned around immediately. "Yousuke-nii!" Ren said stupidly. Hearing Yousuke's usual laugh calmed him down a bit - "That's Yousuke, alright.." Ren thought to himself as he sighed.
"Come on in~" his old friend chirped. Ren nodded and went in. To his surprise, this place was cleaner then he expected it to be. Almost forgetting why he came here in the first place, Ren twitched. "Yousuke!" He said, louder than he intended it to be said.
"I have a question to ask you." Ren said pretty awkwardly as he sat down on his bed. "I can come to you if I have questions right...?" He said confused, as he scratched the back of his head, wondering how he should put this.
"Anyways." Ren smiled, "You've never had a girlfriend before have you, You-nii?"

As soon as Yousuke entered the room, he pulled off his sports jacket and headed into his closet, leaving Ren outside in the room. He hung up his jacket, yanked off his sports headband, and returned to see that Red had sat down on his bed. The boy seemed a bit awkward and uncomfortable, which just put Yousuke in a better mood.
Since Ren had made his apology, the man no longer had any doubts about Ren's personality. He was definitely still the Ren from long ago, even if he looked and acted a bit differently. It was funny, too. Yousuke had just met with Ayame last night on the roof -- although drunk -- and he was now meeting with Ren. This was definitely interesting, and Yousuke loved it. He loved these two kids.
"I have a question to ask you. I can come to you if I have questions right...?"
"Of course." Yousuke said, sitting down on his desk chair and rolling it over so that he was no across from Ren. "Ask me whatever you wan--"
"You've never had a girlfriend before have you, You-nii?"
If Yousuke was drinking something, he would have spat the contents all over Ren's pretty boy face.
"W-what does that have to do with anything?!" Yousuke asked, looking away. "D-don't come here just to taunt me about my personal life! I-if that's all you want to do then you might as well leave!"

"No! Haha, Yousuke-nii hear me out!" he said trying to calm him down. For once, he wasn't here to make fun of him. "Don't worry, I'm getting bored of teasing you now." He sighed as he was trying to remember the question he was dying to ask him today.
"Anyways..." Ren said in a serious tone as he cleared his throat. "Answer my question. Have you? Or, atleast.." Ren laid down in his bed with both his hands behind his head. "Felt that way about somebody?" He looked up at the ceiling, thinking about Yousuke's reaction.

"Answer my question. Have you? Or, atleast...felt that way about somebody?"
Yousuke paused. He either had two decisions: answer comically, or answer seriously. He really didn't want to talk about his past, but Ren seemed pretty serious about it. Yousuke knew he just couldn't ignore the question. No, this meant something to Ren.
"It wasn't a girl."
The words were out of Yousuke's mouth before he had even given them a second though. He glanced down at his feet, rubbing the back of his head a bit awkwardly. "Uh, it was a guy." he said, coughing. "It's sorta hard to explain. But, uh, yeah, I've felt that way before. Only once, though. Why do you ask?"

"It wasn't a girl."
Ren's eyes widened - how was he supposed to react? Ren sat up, "Not a girl, hm?" He nodded. "There's no difference, as long as they feel... special to you, correct?"
Ren smiled widely, he didn't know that side of Yousuke yet. Sure, he expected it - but Yousuke never confirmed it until today. He was glad that Yousuke trusted him enough for him to admit that, and that alone made his day.
"Well... I've never felt that way about anybody, so I don't... know what it feels like?" Ren coughed, "I-i mean!" He shook his head, "Well..." Ren probably looked like an idiot trying to be serious, but he didn't want to mess this situation up at all. He began getting flustered - his face probably really red.
"How do you know when somebody's... 'special'"? Ren asked as he eagerly stared into Yousuke's eyes, hoping for a decent answer.

Yousuke thought that Ren's acceptance would have surprised him, but it didn't. He might look a lot tougher. Yousuke thought as the other boy smiled widely, But he's still the same little kid from ten years ago. Grown up, of course. But still the same. "It's been awhile since I last saw you smile." Yousuke laughed, all previous awkwardness now gone.
"How do you know when somebody's... 'special'"
Yousuke raised his eyebrows a bit suspiciously, but decided to just go with it. "Well, it's different for everybody I guess." he shrugged, "I mean, well, uh, the guy that I happened to had feelings for took care of me when he saw me laying on the sidewalk after I had my jaw smashed in so..." He trailed off.
"Has Ayame seen you smile recently?" he suddenly asked, "I'm sure she would love it."

Ren sighed, that wasn't the answer he was hoping for. "Different for everybody, eh..?" He repeated in a disappointed tone. He looked down - "Well, that helped." Ren stated in a sarcastically. "Come on, You-nii! I'm pretty sure you have a much better answer than that - I really need your help here. I can't afford to mess up." Ren spoke from the bottom of his heart - what he said was genuine, and he was hoping that Yousuke would realize how serious he was about this.
"Has Ayame seen you smile recently? I'm sure she would love it." Yousuke said out of the blue - Ren became really red. "W-WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?" Ren shouted as he threw a pillow at him. "No! Ayame..." He stopped to think, "....Ayame's irrelevant! D-don't bring her up!" Ren growled as he grabbed another pillow, ready to throw it at Yousuke at any given moment.
He lied. The reason he was having this conversation was because of Ayame. She was the reason.

"Come on, You-nii! I'm pretty sure you have a much better answer than that - I really need your help here. I can't afford to mess up."
"No, that's pretty much the best answer I got." Yousuke answered truthfully, "You know that I'm not experienced with this kind of-- hey, you can't afford to mess up on what? What exactly are you planning, Ren?" Yousuke asked, leaning forward. Yousuke had a pretty sure idea about why Ren was doing this, but he would keep quiet about that.
Yousuke had pretty much remembered everything he and Ayame talked about yesterday when he was running around drunk on the rooftop. The one thing he couldn't remember, though, was the fact that he had declared that a homosexual was on fire and that he needed to put him out with an extinguisher. Was I talking about myself? Yousuke thought, puzzled, I think I'm a homosexual. Right?
His thoughts were interrupted when a pillow hit his face.
"W-WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? Ayame's irrelevant! D-don't bring her up!"
"H-how is she irrelevant?!" Yousuke asked, picking the pillow up from the ground. He glanced up to see that Ren's face had turned red. "Oy, come on." The man laughed, throwing the pillow back to the younger boy, "If she's so irrelevant then why are you blushing about it, huh? Don't try to hide things from me!"

"That's true..." Ren muttered. Yousuke was right - Ren was probably the most experienced if it came to love lives. "Sorry I bothered you, You-nii. I just, needed somebody to ask I guess." He cleared his throat, avoiding eye contact - "Knowing that I have you on my side again lifts the burden off my shoulders." Ren smiled. What was he saying? He was just rambling again, but he couldn't help it. For once, he was actually content with his life.
"What exactly are you planning, Ren?" As Yousuke leaned in, Ren shook his head quickly. "Nothing! Trust me, nothing. Don't worry about it, I just.." He pushed Yousuke's head back - "I just needed your advice." he smirked.
"She's irrelevant because she's not apart of this conversation!" Ren replied in an angry tone, "I WASN'T BLUSHING!" Ren covered his face in embarrassment - "Shit, am I that obvious to read?" He whispered softly.
"No, seriously You-nii - I wasn't blushing! Why do you have to bring up Ayame-chan all the time?" He asked, eyebrows raised.

"Nah, it's okay, I'm always up for talking to!" Yousuke laughed, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back in the chair, glancing up at the ceiling. "Knowing that both you and Ayame are by my side again feels a whole lot better, too." Yousuke agreed, glancing back at the boy.
"Whatever you say, Ren! But you know, I can't help you when it comes to telling if someone is 'special' or not, you know? Like I said, it varies for different people. But when you do find out, you will know. It will feel different. So be prepared!" Yousuke grinned.
"She's irrelevant because she's not apart of this conversation! "I WASN'T BLUSHING!"
"I just can't see what she sees in you, Ren!" Yousuke grinned, hopping up from his chair. He began to pace the area between his desk and bed, trying to hide his smile. "Sure, you can be a very nice kid, but that temper of yours isn't that attractive, mm?" He asked teasingly, pausing in his step to look at Ren.
"No, seriously You-nii - I wasn't blushing! Why do you have to bring up Ayame-chan all the time?"
"...You were blushing, I have eyes." Yousuke said, "And why not? She's our friend, right? She both means a lot to us, right? She's both the same girl to both of us, right? Then why is it that when we talk about her you're the only one who blushes?"

Ren nodded - "You're right, You-nii." But that'll be difficult for someone as blind as Ren - this is his first time, and he's scared that me might miss that feeling. After all, he's pretty ignorant when it comes to commitment and relationships.
"Sure, you can be a very nice kid, but that temper of yours isn't that attractive, mm?" Yousuke added, Ren shrugged. "Did I say I wanted to be attractive? Yer the one preaching every time saying I should be myself. And this temper is apart of me just as much as that 'nice kid' part." He rambled - but it was true. His temper was his defense mechanism and kept many people he didn't want near him, away from him.
"And why not? She's our friend, right? She both means a lot to us, right? She's both the same girl to both of us, right? Then why is it that when we talk about her you're the only one who blushes?"
Ren's eyes widened - "THIS ISN'T AN INTERVIEW, YOUSUKE! W-why are you asking so many questions!?" He shouted, "Jesus christ! I wouldn't have blushed if you didn't bring up that 'smile' part - you know how I am with those kinds of things, idiot."
"Anyways..." Ren mumbled as he fixed his hair, "Thanks, Yousuke. For.. helping me, and stuff."

"Did I say I wanted to be attractive? Yer the one preaching every time saying I should be myself. And this temper is apart of me just as much as that 'nice kid' part."
"Okay, okay, don't get so defensive about it!" Yousuke laughed, sitting back down. "Alright, whatever, keep that temper of yours." he grinned. Yousuke really was just amusing himself with this conversation. He already knew that he had to talk to Ren about Ayame. After all, Yousuke did talk to Ayame after Ren. It was only fair that he would have to talk to both, right? Of course, Ren was less willing to cooperate than Ayame was. He had expected this.
"Okay, okay!" Yousuke repeated, even holding up both of his hands in defense. "Don't get so worked up over it! Alright, sorry for all of the questions. You're here to ask questions to me, I got that. But really, you smiled so easily in front of me! Alright, I'll stop now. And don't call me an idiot!"
"Yeah, of course." Yousuke smiled, "I'm always there to help you, you know? Just, uh, rearrange the pillows to their original position okay?" he laughed.

Ren threw the other pillow at him. "Don't tell me what to do." He laughed, "Just kidding. I will, don't lecture me to death, You-nii."
He got the pillow he threw and placed it to it's original place - "Yeah, you didn't help much." He smiled again, "But it was worth a shot. I just don't feel like messing up, so I guess I needed your guidance?"
He got up and headed for the door. "Thanks again, Yousuke-chan. I don't know what I'd do without you."
It was nice having guidance with someone that was always there for you. Ren's not that very good at making great decisions - he's usually really selfless and conceited, and usually chooses the wrong path to walk on. But with Yousuke by his side this time, he's sure that he'll do the right thing.
