Chapter 79

Yoshi placed a hand to his lips as Hisoki smile. "Did you just kiss me?"Yoshi asked softly. Had he? Hisoki doesn't remember kissing Yoshi. But his lips still felt warm, however his face felt cold. He wiped his eyes. He looked around at the empty room. "I did not. What happened?" Hisoki didn't receive an answer as quickly as he thought, the brunette in front of him still lightly in a daze.

The door to the outside opened, Wafi and the others stepping in. Kai walked up to Yoshi hugging him. He looked to Hisoki, an angry look that quickly softened. "Hisoki?" He asked. Hisoki nodded, tapping his fingers on his palms. "It's me."

"Do you…. Remember what we told you?" Harley asked, going to move back the chair that had been pulled out. Hisoki remembered. He didn't think he could forget. Not that he wanted to. He wanted to remember forever. "Yes I do." Hisoki nodded his head. Baker walked up to him, grabbing his tied hands. Looked into Hisoki's eyes, before beginning to untie them. The whole room seemed quiet, not knowing what to say. Hisoki, however, did.

"I love you all. More than a teacher, more than a friend." He chuckles. "Probably more than deemed normal."

Baker stopped untying him, half way done. He put his hands on Hisoki's thighs, looking up at him. He didn't look happy, but more in shock. "Are you sure?" Baker asked. For a moment, Hisoki felt like Baker wanted him to say no. Hisoki sighed, looking down at Baker. He nodded, only honesty in his heart. "The most sure I've ever been." Baker smiles and softly nods.

"Wait… so you love all of us?"

"Yes."

"As in… all of us?"

"Do you want me not to?"

"No! Just, making sure."

Hisoki smiles at Mago, rolling out his wrists. He stands up. "Come here, Mago." He says simply, Mago poking his head up. The tan boy sighs, walking over to Hisoki. "Sorry, I'm just a little-" Mago gets cut off by Hisoki going in for a kiss. For all the times that he has kissed Mago, this one felt the best. Warmth filled his body, as he instinctively placed a hand on Mago's chin.

He backed up, staring into Mago's eyes. "Are you sure now?" He smiled, Mago shyly nodding. "Oh, uh. Yeah, I do.." He mumbled, stepping away slightly. Hisoki did the same, hugging himself. Baker continued to sit down, only crossing his legs.

"So, what now?"

Kai tapped his foot from the edge of the store. They had five minutes left until lunch ended, and it took them at least ten minutes to get there. Baker was the first to run out. "Done!" He handed Kai his debit card. "Thank you!" Baker smiled. Kai calmly looked down, rolling his eyes. He leaned into the store.

Colorful snack items filled most of the aisles, the sides lined with freezers. Sodas, seaweed, fish, everything he could think of. Yoshi had a bowl of ramen on his hands, watching Wafi, who had his card out. Yoshi glanced out the door at Kai, and giggled. Kai only shook his head, turning back to Baker, who was eating strawberry gummies. Kai looked in his bag, seeing an egg sandwich.

"You want one?"Baker held the bag towards Kai. Sugar was on the edges of his lips. Kai sighed, licking his thumb and reaching to wipe the edge of Baker's mouth. The boy in front of him blushed, making Kai smile. Yoshi and Wafi walked out, Yoshi still eating his instant ramen. "You two should get married already." Wafi jokes, nudging Kai softly. Baker looked down at the ramen, grabbing the wooden chopsticks and getting a few strands of ramen.

Yoshi moved the bowl slightly towards the blond haired boy, Baker humming. "Yummy." Baker said, stepping away slightly. Wafi took Baker's egg sandwich, taking a bite. Kai only looked at them. "So… is it going to happen?"Wafi asked, turning to Kai, who looked back at him. "Are you two going to get married?" Yoshi scoffs as Baker chokes on the noodles.

"No way, me and Baker are going to get married." Yoshi shook his head instantly. Baker stared at Yoshi and Kai, before turning around and walking away. "I'm gonna go." He mumbled, practically walking. However soon he turned around. "We are going to be late." Kai muttered, shaking his head. "Come on!" Baker yelled.

And all four boys started running.

By the time they got back to the classroom, class had already started. However, only Mago and Harley were in the classroom. Mago was sitting down, his computer open with Harley behind him. They were both chatting quietly, talking about something on their computer.

Baker walked in, looking around. "Where's Hisoki?" Kai asked, popping a strawberry gummy into his mouth. Baker had given them to him earlier. Yoshi's elbow was hooked with Kai's. Mago looks up, smiling and waving at them. "He's here. He just had to go to the car for a sec." Harley explained. Mago stood up, ready to walk over to them, but Harley pulled him back. "Sit down. Finish your essay." Harley scolds.

Mago huffs, sitting back in his seat. "I can't even talk to my own boyfriends." Mago muttered. Kai smiles, walking up to Mago. He kisses Mago gently on the cheek, before going to his cheek. Mago glares at him. "That's all I get?" Kai places his bag down, smiling. "Yep."

Baker sat beside him, giving Mago the rest of the strawberry candies. "What happened?" He asks as Mago takes a strawberry gummy. "Someone didn't do their essay." Harley teased, crossing his arms. Mago tilts his head back, glaring at Harley. "Someone was distracting me." Mago mumbled harshly.

Hisoki walked in, a bag in his hand. He shut the door behind him, before beginning to walk to his desk. His heels clicked in the now silent room, his steps leading to the wooden desk. He combed a hand through his curled hair. Baker hadn't noticed how curly Hisoki's hair was until today. He places his bag on his chair, before grabbing a red book. He walked to Baker's desk, placing the book down. "Have you read this yet?"

Baker looked down at the book. It was The Alchemist. Baker smiled, nodding his head. "Did you like it?" Baker asked, softly smiling. Hisoki thought for a moment, looking down at the book cover. "Santiago is someone that I would have admired as a kid. And now,"He stops, thinking again before nodding. "I admire him now." Hisoki smiled once more before standing up straight, walking back to the front of the class. Baker holds the book in his hands, hugging it.

He lightly flipped through it, noticing different small writings, noting parts that happened. Some were in green, others pink and orange. It was Hisoki's thoughts of what Santhiago did. Baker smiled, sliding the book into his backpack. He'll read those later.

Hisoki clapped his hands. "Since it's the last day of school, I thought we could review some stuff."Hisoki smiled, uncapping a red marker. He turned to the board, writing the word *Hello.* He underlines the now not foreign word, boxing it. He turns back around to the class, an excited look on his face.

"Who knows what this means?"
