Here we go! ^_^

[A slightly embarrassed Fujikake and Yoshiki stand surrounded by roses.]

Narr: Ryokurin Ryou, first floor. The residents of room 117. Fujikake Tatsurou, Watanabe Yoshiki.

[Untranslated stuff. Shinobu and the manga-ka sit thoughtfully drinking coffee while Hasukawa sulks.]

Narr: This is the story of how these two met on the way to Ryokurin.

(*)

[Fujikake stands uncomfortably on a crowded subway train.]

Fujikake: (Bleah. What the Hell! There are a lot of people here!)

Fujikake: (What the... I'm gradually becoming anxious. Is this what it's like to live in this kind of place?)

Narr: Fujikake Tatsurou from Kumamoto prefecture. His parents manage a mandarin orange farm. He's
entering high school.

Fujikake: (At school I'll be living with a bunch of complete strangers. I wonder what they'll be like...)

[He catches sight of a petite brunette who is standing next to him.]

Fujikake: (Ah! Cute!)

(*)

[Fujikake blushes a bit.]

Fujikake: (This is just my good fortune.)

[He suddenly catches sight of something.]

Fujikake: (That's...)

[He sees a hand on the brunette's butt.]

Fujikake: (A molester!)

Molester: Ow-ow-ow-ow! I said: "What the Hell'd I do"?

[At the station, a blushing, but angry, Fujikake holds the molester's wrist in a painful grip.]

Fujikake: Don't play dumb! Weren't you groping this girl?!

Yoshiki: Ummm...

Molester: Wha-at? "Girl"?

Molester: Take a good look! That's a guy!

Fujikake: Eh?!

(*)

[A mortified Yoshiki stands, suitcase in hand.]

Yoshiki: Ummm...

Molester: Take a good look! Are you blind?! (etc.)

[A stunned Fujikake stares at Yoshiki.]

Fujikake: (It's a guy...)

Fujikake: Oh, so that doesn't make you a molester?!

[Molester wanders off muttering.]

Fujikake: And you! It would have been nice if you had said something!

Yoshiki: S- Sorry!

[Fujikake watches Yoshiki walk away.]

Fujikake: (Even though he's a guy he got groped by some stranger. I bet he was embarrassed and yet he
didn't say anything. I don't get it. I wonder if he's a junior high student.)

Fujikake: Darn. When I took him for a girl I thought he was really cute.

Narr: A kind of weird first step...

(*)

[Fujikake and Yoshiki stand facing each other in front of Room 117. Mutual sweatdrops.]

Fujikake: I'm... Fujikake Tatsurou.

Yoshiki: Ah. Umm. Watanabe Yoshiki.

Mitsuru: [Looking at a clipboard.] Your baggage was delivered yesterday.

Narr: A fateful meeting.

[Fujikake watches Mitsuru talking to Yoshiki.]

Mitsuru: You know the procedure?

Yoshiki: Yes.

Mitsuru: Good. Then you've read the handbook. There's a lot of minutiae.

(*)

Mitsuru: I'm the new dorm head. Come up to 211 if there's anything you don't understand.

Mitsuru: Basically, we all just have to get along. Well, hang in there.

[Mitsuru turns to go and steps into a hole in the floor.]

[Mitsuru FX: BAKI!]

Mitsuru: FURUSAWA-SEMPAI!! Still running your bike in the hallway?! [Storms off.]

[Fujikake and Yoshiki stand uncertainly side by side.]

Fujikake: Ahh...

Yoshiki: Umm...

[Neighbor 1 sticks his head out of his room.]

Neighbor 1: You the new guys?

Furusawa: Yes?

Neighbor 1: Can you play Mah Jong?

Fujikake: Once.

(*)

[Untranslated stuff. Neighbor 2 sticks his head out of the room and convinces Neighbor 1 not to invite
them yet.]

Neighbor 1: Eh? Is that so? Well, later.

Boy: Ah! It's the new guys.

Etc: Nice to meet you.

Wide Eyed Cultist (WEC): You're the new students, right? Won't you join us in lending your ears to the
voice of God?

All: Run! Run away!

[Shun stands surrounded by flowers. Fujikake and Yoshiki stare.]

Fujikake: Ah! That's a first year?!

[Shun and Yoshiki talk in the background as Fujikake confers with another boy.]

Shun: I'm in room 210! Nice to meet you!

Fujikake: That's really a guy?

Boy: Well, he's here, isn't he?

Boy: But those two. If you line 'em up...

[Shun and Yoshiki stand surrounded by lilies.]

Boy: [Gleeful.] Aren't they really girl students?

(*)

Etc: Eh?! Dummy! [Untranslated stuff.]

[Fujikake looks vaguely annoyed.]

Fujikake: (Weird.) [Untranslated stuff]

[Fujikake and Yoshiki stand in their room alone.]

Narr: However...

Yoshiki: I'm glad. It's a nice place. [Small smile.]

Yoshiki: I was worried about what kind of person I'd be with.

Yoshiki: I'm glad it's you.

[They shake hands.]

Fujikake: (Good, huh? His personality seems not too bad.)

Yoshiki: Fujikake-kun is trustworthy.

Fujikake: [Sweatdrop.] How does a man rely on another man?!

Yoshiki: Ah. Is that so?

Fujikake: Because of that you got groped!

Yoshiki: I guess.

[Untranslated narration.]

(*)

Narr: At last, the matriculation ceremony.

[Fujikake and Yoshiki stand side by side. Yoshiki looks dizzy.]

MC: To continue the president of the PTA's congratulatory --

[Yoshiki has fainted.]

Fujikake: No way...

[Yoshiki is in bed in the infirmary. Hasukawa-sensei stands next to the bed.]

Fujikake: [Entering] Excuse me.

Fujikake: During the ceremony, he collapsed. I'm his roommate.

Fujikake: (Yep. A male doctor.)

Hasukawa-sensei: It's due to lack of sleep. When he gets up it would be good for you to take him back to his
room.

Fujikake: [Startled.] Sleep?

[Back in their room, Yoshiki is sitting on the bottom bunk. He looks embarrassed.]

Yoshiki: Umm... Well, when we did rock-paper-scissors, I got the top bunk, didn't I? However, I wasn't
accustomed to it, so I couldn't sleep. Especially the night before classes started. Just thinking about it got
me all wound up. I really wanted to exchange, but...

(*)

Fujikake: [Angry] Why didn't you say something right away? How many days were you thinking that?!

Yoshiki: S- Sorry! But -

Fujikake: If you're bashful like that, nothing will get done about it!

Yoshiki: Sorry...

Fujikake: (It may not be bad, but his personality sure has some problems!)

Yoshiki: [Small smile] Fujikake sure is nice. I'll try to be more of a man, right? [??]

Fujikake: Eh?

Yoshiki: I - Ever since I was little, my body has been weak. I was small, and with a face like this, I was often
mistaken for a girl. Although I've always thought that I'd like to be manly, like Fujikake, my personality was
dragged down by my appearance...

[Untranslated narration]

(*)

Fujikake: But, look -- If you compare yourself to Shun...

Yoshiki: Kisaragi's different! He accepts the way he is!

[Inset of Shun flashing the victory sign. Caption: "I don't worry about a-ny-thing!"]

Fujikake:(He's worried, huh? That's bad --)

Fujikake: You're still just 15. [Small reassuring smile.]

Fujikake: From now on, you'll get taller.

Yoshiki: Really... I wonder...

Fujikake: It's all right, I tell you.

[They smile at each other.]

Fujikake: (Isn't he cute? Since we're in the same room, I'll have to give him some of my strength.)

(*)

Narr: At that time, they were still separate. [Untranslated stuff]

Narr: From then on, for several days [??]

Narr: Before long...

[Untranslated stuff]

[Fujikake is walking down the school hall alone. He hears a voice.]

Voice: One! Two! Three! Four!

[Fujikake opens the window and sees Yoshiki outside, dressed in gym clothes.]

Fujikake: Ah. It's Watanabe.

[Fujikake heart FX: doki.]

[Yoshiki turns and sees him.]

[Fujikake heart FX: DOKI.]

[Yoshiki smiles brilliantly.]

Yoshiki: Fujikake!

[We see a confused Yoshiki through the open window. Fujikake is crouched below window level, where he
can't be seen from the outside. His eyes are wide and he's blushing like mad.]

[A classmate is bending over him.]

Classmate: What's wrong, Fujikake?

[Fujikake breathing FX: Haa...Haa...Haa...]

Fujikake: (Why do I feel I have to hide?! It's unacceptable!)

[Fujikake heart FX: DOKI DOKI.]

[Fujikake puts his hand over his heart. Heart FX: DOKI! DOKI! DOKI!]

Fujikake: (This...)

[Yoshiki and Fujikake are in their room. Yoshiki looks confused. Fujikake is huddled with his back to Yoshiki.
His face is in his hands. He's still blushing and has numerous sweatdrops.]

Yoshiki: What was wrong today?

Fujikake: N- Nothing.

Fujikake: (It can't be. It can't be...that.)

Yoshiki: Was there some kind of emergency? I was surprised. Hey! (I'm talking to you!)

(*)

[In Fujikake's imagination, a child-Yoshiki is being tempted by a molester.]

Child-Yoshiki: Me don't know the rules.

Beckoning Hand: I'll teach you. Come here. [Heart symbols.]

Fujikake: (No way! There's no reason to think that!)

Fujikake: (It can't be! I -)

[Fujikake's hand touches Yoshiki's and he recoils violently. We see they're at the neighbors' playing Mah
Jong.]

Neighbor 1: What are you doing?

[Fujikake stares at his hand. A trusting Yoshiki looks at him, blushing slightly.]

Fujikake: (Aaaaaa! Calm down, Fujikake! Get a grip! Yoshiki's a guy! A guy!)

Fujikake: (So then. This is what is known as... The famous...)

Fujikake: (HOMO!!! Isn't it?!)

[Fujikake is clutching his head in horror as lightning flashes around him!!!]

[Fujikake stands up.]

Yoshiki: [Concerned] Fujikake...

(*)

[Yoshiki watches Fujikake run back to their room.]

[Later, Yoshiki stands uncertainly by Fujikake, who is blushing and pretending to do his homework.]

[Yoshiki stands in the hall, thinking.]

Wide Eyed Cultist (WEC) 1: What is it?

WEC 1: Something is bothering you, isn't it?

Yoshiki: Huh?

[Yoshiki is suddenly surrounded by WECs.]

WEC 1: As I've said before, you're always welcome at our place.

Yoshiki: [Nervous] Eh? No.

WEC 2: It's all right. We're not going around collecting money. Of course not.

Yoshiki: Umm... I -

WEC 3: Come on. You're welcome...

[Fujikake snatches Yoshiki from under the WECs' noses and dashes with him back to their room.]

[Fujikake FX: BYUN! (Boing!)]

[In the room, Fujikake lets go of Yoshiki. They're both panting.]

[Breathing FX: Haa... Haa... Haa...]

Fujikake: I told you clearly to stay away from them!

Yoshiki: S- Sorry! [Small smile] Thank you.

Fujikake: [Cold look.]

(*)

[Yoshiki stands, stunned, as Fujikake silently walks away.]

[Later, Fujikake's in bed, thinking.]

[Untranslated stuff]

Fujikake: (I think he's cute. I want to protect him. But - but -)

(*)

Fujikake: (HE'S A GUY!!!)

[Fujikake pulls the covers over his head. Untranslated stuff.]

Fujikake: (Mother. Father. I should provide you with grandchildren.)

Narr: When Fujikake came to Tokyo, he promised: "A grandchild to inherit the farm".

[Yoshiki is walking with Shun up the stairs to Shun's room.]

Shun: Fujikake?

Yoshiki: Yeah. Even when he's in the room, he doesn't talk much. It seems like he's avoiding me. I'm worried.

Shun: Hm. Living in the same room doesn't mean you'll understand each other. [??] I don't think it can be
helped. I still don't have a roommate. You can come stay with me for a while. Don't worry about a thing.

Yoshiki: (That's so. There's nothing to worry about, right?)

Shun: [Catching sight of something] Ah? Wasn't that Fujikake?

Yoshiki: Eh?

Shun: He's at my neighbors'.

(*)

[Yoshiki looks wide eyed.]

Shun: I wonder if he has some business with the dorm head.

[Mitsuru is startled.]

Mitsuru: You want to change rooms?

[Untranslated stuff. Mitsuru is trying to talk Fujikake out of changing rooms.]

Mitsuru: That's not an easy thing to do. There aren't any other rooms to switch with.

Fujikake: I know.

Mitsuru: Did something happen with Watanabe?

Fujikake: No! Nothing happened!

[Fujikake clamps a hand over his mouth and blushes. Sweatdrop. Mitsuru is surprised.]

(*)

Fujikake: [Blushing]: It's not like that! It's not Watanabe's fault! He - It's not his fault he looks that way-- No!
I mean -- if I could just get a grip...

Fujikake: (What am I saying?!)

[Fujikake is on his knees, bowing.]

Fujikake: Anyway, I'm begging you!

Mitsuru: [Sweatdrop] Uh. You don't have to kowtow.

Shinobu: Won't it be all right if you trade Watanabe with Shun's roommate?

Mitsuru: What, are we starting a girls' school next door? [^_^;]

Mitsuru: Is this all right with Watanabe?

Fujikake: I still haven't told him -

Fujikake: (Watanabe. He'll be hurt, but -- to go on like this --)

[Mitsuru and Fujikake look up in surprise. Shun and Yoshiki stand in the door. Yoshiki has heard everything.]

(*)

[Yoshiki is running down the hall. Fujikake starts after him.]

Fujikake: W- Watanabe!

[Mitsuru is dazed. Shun is uncomfortable. Shinobu calmly reads his book, smiling.]

Mitsuru: What was that about?

Fujikake: Wait! Watanabe!

[Fujikake enters their room and shuts the door. Yoshiki has his back turned.]

Fujikake: Watanabe...

(*)

[Yoshiki turns around, trying to smile.]

Yoshiki: Ah. I'm sorry. Did I surprise you? I wonder why I ran away.

Yoshiki: I'm really sorry. I've just been a bother to you, haven't I? Because I'm --

Fujikake: Y- You're wrong, Watanabe! It's not...

Yoshiki: But, I'll try hard! As much as I can -- so I won't be a problem for you. Changing rooms...

Yoshiki: If you change rooms, another person may be just as much of a bother. And I - don't have much
confidence except when I'm with you.

Yoshiki: Maybe I've come to rely on you. But...

[A tear is forming in Yoshiki's eye, but he's smiling.]

Yoshiki: I was really glad to share the same room with you.

(*)

[Fujikake embraces a wide-eyed Yoshiki.]

Yoshiki: Fu- Fu- Fu- Fu- Fu- Fujikake?!

Fujikake: (IDIOT! What are you doing? Your partner is a man!!)

Fujikake: Y- You're wrong.

Fujikake: (Calm down. We'll get by.)

Fujikake: That's why...

Fujikake: (With a male partner, you'll never be able to give your parents grandchildren!)

Fujikake: I love you.

(*)

[Untranslated stuff.]

Narr: And then...

Yoshiki: Even now, our feelings have solidified. I love Fujikake and he's told me the same. To say "we're both
guys", it's a little uncomfortable, but I don't think anything can be done about it.

Yoshiki: So, anyway, we wanted to consult with you, Hasukawa.

Yoshiki: As male lovers, we don't know what to do. We were told "Go see Hasukawa" -- isn't that your
brother? Well, we're a little embarrassed...

Yoshiki: Do you know? Hasukawa?

[Yoshiki's waving his hand in front of Kazuya's face.]

Yoshiki: Ah. . . He's unconscious. . .

[Shun pops his head into the room over the window sill.]

Shun: That's because Suka-chan doesn't know anything about that!

Fujikake: [Blushing] Wah! Shun! You heard?!
