&& Use the time before it fades {Tetsuya}

[Tetsuya Osamaru]

Tetsuya just smiled as he was asked where they would swim, finding the blush staining the younger boy's cheeks just too cute. Ah what the hell? No matter what he does, he's cute. His mind threw at him, which he could only mentally nod in response. His mind was indeed right. There was no way this younger teen could not be cute. At thinking and realizing this he could only wonder if it was his gay side saying this due to, well liking the younger teen or if it was just his normal self stating the obvious. He mentally shrugged at this though and just proceeded to smile still at the boy next to him. "Well, there's always the pond nearby. I'm sure the fishers wouldn't mind." He smiled happily in reply before standing up, "As long as you don't mind swimming in a pond that is."

Standing there for a moment he waited for the younger teen to do the same. His arm was still held out from his body as if it was a foreign object or something as ice cream dripped from it. Tetsuya followed with his eyes as droplets fell from it, as if it had actually caught his attention for a few moments. Then his eyes wandered back to Kiyoshi, smiling still as he stood there. He had the urge to ask some more question so as to get a better understanding of the younger teen, but for the moment he actually managed to keep his mouth shut, something a bit unlike him. Well...at least he managed to for a few minutes. "What grade are you in, by the way? Random question, I know, but it came to mind." He added the last part so Kiyoshi would hopefully not find him too weird in asking.

<sup>"Well, there's always the pond nearby. I'm sure the fishers wouldn't mind." "As long as you don't mind swimming in a pond that is."

Scrunching up his nose, Kiyoshi thought for a moment, the look remaining on his face until he was done. Swimming in a pond? Hm. It sounded kind of...irky, really. And the thought of all the mud and gross bacteria in the pond made him shudder slightly. Finally, his thinking was over and he turned his dark black hues to reach the others face.

"Well...I think swimming at the school we be a better idea. Swimmer's itch isn't too fun." he said, his nose scrunching up once more, but only for a second, and it seemed that this was done in more of a laughing manner than anything. Giggling lightly, he stood up, now standing at...well, as much as height as he could. He still felt extremely short compared to the older teen.

"What grade are you in, by the way? Random question, I know, but it came to mind."

Smiling cutely, he shook his head, as if to say it was alright, and stepped over the picnic table's bench so that he was standing beside the table itself. Chewing his lip, he finally remembered that he needed to speak, and therefore responded to the question promptly.

"I'm in my Junior year." he said, smiling still and nodding his head the slightest bit, "How about you? You've got to be a senior, yeah?" he asked curiously, cocking his head to the side slightly, keeping his black hues fixated on the other. He almost had to tilt his head back to look at him, but thankfully didn't really have to.</sup>

Tetsuya saw Kiyoshi scrunch up his nose and immediately knew that the younger teen didn't like the idea of swimming in a pond too well at all. He had to laugh a little at this though because the way the other teen was just so blunt about it was kind of cute. "Alright, I get it." He smiled happily, "You just don't want to swim in an icky pond, right?" The smile on his face was as bright as ever to show he wasn't making fun of him in any way, even though he did know his words could be taken as such if one wasn't paying attention that much. "Though, I'll have to rinse off in the showers before I can get in." He smiled a bit sheepishly, gaze going from Kiyoshi to his ice cream dripping arm. "Well, for more than one reason I guess. I don't think the school would much like body glitter all in their pool." He laughed a little as he spoke.

Then as he heard the other teen was a Junior, it surprised him just a bit, but he didn't show it. For sure he though that the other teen was a sophomore. A light blush crept across his face at his own mistake, but soon it went away as he was asked if his grade was as a senior. He nodded in response to this of course. "Yep. Senior and happy to be. Thank goodness it's my last year." He smiled happily, before trying to shake some more of the vanilla liquid from his arm. A mock glare was on his face as he looked at it as he shook it, causing some of it to get onto his face. "....Now I know that's got to look so totally wrong." He spoke before smiling sheepishly once more, knowing that his additions of 'so' and 'totally' were very much gay in theirselves. It wasn't so much that they were in his sentence, but it was more or less in the way he'd said them.

Deciding it best not to point out that though in his sentence, just in case the other might have a problem with gays, which he seriously doubted but still there was a bit of worry in his mind, he turned his attention towards the direction of their school. "Shall we head back now?" He questioned, turning to look at Kiyoshi a bit more as he spoke, "After all I'm already going to be sticky as it is." A bright smile was across his face since he was happy, but so was a light red blush from the embarrassment of his words and because of the ice cream he'd flung onto his own face by accident. Normally it didn't bother him to do something like that, but for some reason it did while he was around Kiyoshi. Must just be some joke of my mind. He thought to himself as he realized his actions were causing himself to be embarrassed.
