“Don’t you have to go? What about your next class?”

“I don’t have to go, do I? I’m just so frustrated. Kanae, introduce me to some girls!”

“No way. I don’t want my friends to start hating me.”

He had a point. Who in their right mind would want to introduce their friends to a guy like Yuichi?

“Oh… come on! Please. Anyone would be fine. I’m begging you!”

Yuichi threw the empty coffee cup over his shoulder, which landed cleanly in the garbage can.

“Come on! How can any man be expected to go two months without sex? I’ve never had a dry spell like this before, and it’s freaking me out. You can only get so far masturbating. Kanae, introduce me to a girl!”

“Yuichi, I’ve already told you…!”

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

Now was the time, even if it wouldn’t work.

Since they were on the topic, it should be okay, right?

Even if he was rejected, he could laugh it off as a joke.

Kanae swallowed. He had to look relaxed when he said it.

Please God! Let me sound normal!

Don’t let me sound like a desperate idiot!

And as if Kanae’s prayers had reached the heavens, his voice came out perfectly normal. With a big grin, Kanae turned to Yuichi.

“If it’s sex that you want, then why not me?”

For a moment it seemed as if Yuichi hadn’t heard, or that he hadn’t understood. But eventually his mouth opened wide, and he looked at Kanae. The other boy kept smiling at him casually, like some mystical creature.

“If you’re so desperate that you’d do anyone, then why not me?”

“Oh…yeah,” Yuichi said hesitantly, crossing his arms.

“Yeah, that’s right. You do boys too, huh?”

It was something that everyone had said, but there was no proof to back it up. If Yuichi was such a sex demon, then it was likely that he would happily sleep with boys or girls. Sex was sex, wasn’t it?

And if Yuichi came to think that Kanae was gay, then that wasn’t a problem, either.

Yuichi stood up without saying a word. Kanae froze for an instant.

Was he angry?

Kanae quickly smiled and opened his mouth to reassure his friend that it was just a joke, but Yuichi grabbed Kanae’s wrist.

“Will you make it good?” he asked.

Kanae smiled a bit uneasily. He really had no idea what he was getting himself into.

“You’re right, Kanae. I shouldn’t limit myself to women only…I’ve heard men are good too. And I think that if it’s you, I’ll be able to get it up.” Yuichi grinned, pulling Kanae along.

What a compliment.

Yuichi got up and headed for the cafeteria exit, Kanae in tow. The other boy remained silent as he followed behind. They managed to cross the campus, and it was only when they reached the main gate that Kanae finally realized what was going on.
