---

Jun Onose once again takes a glance of the boy in front of him. He knew this boy because his friend introduced this boy to him but he felt that they could be best friend because they had the same taste in music. His name is Kiyonobu Inoue. Everyone called him Inoran for some reason. Ino said that its a cheer when he was in the baseball club. His friend said that the nickname was because Ino always had to run due to his habit of getting late to school.

"So, its decided then, we're gonna meet up first in front of the train station and then we go to the record shop together," Ino said.

Jun nodded. And there goes their plans for this weekend. Going to the record shop to find another good Western music. Its very unlike other kids who spend their weekend to hang-out on a fun places and looking for girls. But both Ino and Jun think that spending their weekend to the record shop is so much fun.

***

It seems the nickname Inoran not only because he's often getting late to school but also getting late to an appointment.

Jun looked into his wristwatch again. He's already one hour late. They promised to meet up in front of this train station and go to the record shop together.

"Jun, sorry, I'm late," Inoran come running at him.

"You should buy an alarm to remind you, Ino", Jun scolds him.

"Well, its not because overslept. I already wake up early," Ino regain his breath as he stands in front of Jun.

"So why? Did you forget about our appointment?"

Ino shake his head. "I don't know why. I thought I already calculated the time, but still I ended up here late."

Jun watches him with disbelief, but then he realizes that its no use to ask Ino about it.

Ino stand beside him, tidying his long wild hair.

Jun can't get mad with him even though he always get pissed off because of Ino's habit of getting late while Jun is very punctual about time.

They start to walk to the record shop together. "Have you decided which high-school you want to attend?", Ino asked.

"Actually yes. I like that school so much," Jun answers. "You get a high-grade, right? You could come to the best high-school in this town."

Ino nods, "but I haven't decided on it yet. I've got several things that I had to think about which school I want to attend."

"Yeah. But you got a good chance to go there. My grades aren't as high as you", Jun states.

"We're going to be in separated ways, right?", suddenly Ino stops.

"It can't be helped. But we can still meet here and going to the record shop on weekend," Jun smiles.

Ino just kept silent, then smiles. "I guess I had to made up my mind about high school soon."

"Good luck then," Jun smiles at him.

***

Suddenly it feels so lonely without Ino. Jun knew that Ino had to study for the final exam, but still it feels so different without him.

Jun put his book on the desk. Why is he suddenly thinking about Ino? He can't even concentrate with his study.

His mind automatically remembered when he saw Ino in his class, very serious with the book in front of him. His hair almost covered his eyes. His wild hair makes him always get scolded by the teacher but he seems not to care about it.

Somehow Jun notices how Ino could be the center of the girls attention in his class. But Ino is always be a quiet and shy boy, though he is very persistent if its about his hair.

Jun put down his pencil. 'Okay, why am I even thinking about him all of a sudden? I should study,' Jun tries to concentrate, but then he remembers Ino's smile. The smile that makes his world feels so much better.

Jun sigh. He admits that Ino is quite pretty, and they had something in common, but to think about him until he can't study like this is really a bad thing for Jun.

Jun slaps his face lightly and take his pencil, trying to concentrate to his study once again.

***

Exam is over and now its time to take a break after all that stressed-up days.

Jun is smiling when he see Ino calling him to talk in the corridor.

"How are you? Doing good?" Jun asks to his dear friend, ignoring the looks of other classmates behind him.

"I already tried my best," Ino smiles.

"How about we're going to your house to play music?"

"Oh no, that's really a bad idea," Ino shake his head.

"Why?"

"You see, I have two little brothers in my house now. And they always like to touch my stuff. Last time, Ken-chan almost broke my precious guitar."

Jun laugh.

Ino glares at him, "they are really annoying, you know!"

"But they are still little kids, right? Maybe they want to be just like you."

Ino sigh, "I know, but I don't like them touching my stuff!"

"So how we're gonna celebrate our relaxing days without those damn exams?"

Ino thinks for a while.

One of their classmates passing by, talking about the new park that just open near their area.

Jun suddenly get an idea, "ne, Ino, why don't we go for a date?"

Ino looks at Jun as if Jun was talking about something that he'd never heard before, "what?"

"A date, to the park!"

"Whaaaaat?! No, no way! Let's just play music in your house!"

"But...."

"No, Jun! I'm not a girl!!" Ino then walks back to his own class, leaving Jun who just sigh at the answer of his best friend.

***

Jun just stares at Ino who is now sitting in front of him, playing guitar with his right hand. He is born lefty but he insists to play guitar with his right hand, and he is already good with it. Jun is the one that taught him to play guitar using the songs from the band that they like.

Actually Jun really wants to go out with Ino, but Ino's refusal at school makes him hesitate to ask him again.

Jun kept his eyes on Ino, not because they are practicing a new song, but he just realized that Ino is really a good-looking boy. His strands of hair fall to his face as he play his guitar seriously. He's beautiful.

Wait! What did he just think about? Ino is his best friend. There's no way he could think of Ino like that.

"What's wrong?" Ino stops his play and stares at him. "Did I hit the wrong chords?"

"Ah... No..." Jun put down his bass and that makes Ino more confused. "Listen, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable when I asked you to go out with me."

Ino still looks confused, then he realized, "oh, you said it's a date, right?"

"Yeah.. I mean, it's not a date, I just want to hang out with you, before we go to a different school."

"Alright," Ino smiles, "I'm sorry too that I thought you were teasing me."

"So you want to go out with me?"

Ino nods. Yeah! Finally! Jun can't hide his excitement. Date or not, it doesn't matter anymore, since in the end they will go together. Only him and Ino. That making Jun grins.

"Jun? What's wrong?" Ino looks confused again because Jun is grinning like a crazy boy.

"Nothing. So, you want to go to that park?"

Ino kept silent for a while and replies, "well, yeah, I had no choice."

Jun just grins again. Finally. Now, he needs to make this become their sweetest memories, before they separated their ways in high school.

***

Jun just come back from his activity with his soccer club when he see his sister is watching a dorama in the living room. He always thought that his sister isn't the one who loves a dorama. But there's a scene in that dorama that makes him wonders about his own feeling. That scene is about a young man who falls in love with his best friend. The scene is really like what's happening to him now. Is this mean that he's falling in love with Ino?

He shake his head. No, it must be just a coincidence. He only likes Ino because Ino is the only one that can understand what he's talking about when its about music.

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't like a dorama," his sister said.

"I'm just passing by," Jun walks across his living room, leaving his sister and walks upstairs to his own room. He put his bag on the table and lying down on his bed.

Suddenly, he remembers about their promise to go to the park this weekend and the scene from the dorama. What if he's just denying it? What if he's actually really in love with Ino? Falling in love with a boy like Ino, could that be the reason why he always feel happy whenever he's with Ino, especially when he's smiling at him? Jun stares at the ceiling. If he's really falling in love with Ino, will Ino accept his love? Or will he leave? The only way to know that is to confess this feeling, and the chance to do so is this weekend.

***

Weekend finally come. Jun stares at his clothes on the cupboard, having a hard time to decide which clothes he should wear for today.

Damn, why he has to be like this?! He just want to go out with Ino like usual!

Jun pick his usual outfit, a black pants with a shirt and a coat because today's weather is not too sunny. He touch up his hair, it's quite long already, although it's not as long as Ino's hair. Luckily, the high school that he choose isn't too strict about hair and the uniform is a suit, not like the other school who use gakuran.

Jun picks his sunglasses and now he is ready to go. Hopefully everything will work fine today.

***

He's late. Even for a date, he can't make it on time. Wait, it's not a date. But Jun thinks it's a date. Whatever it is, he's late.

20 minutes passed and he just show up.

"I'm really sorry," Ino said, "Ko-chan wants to go here too and I have a hard time convinced him that he can't."

"It's alright." Jun should've notice that he will be late. "Let's go."

Ino nods and follows Jun. Now Jun is the one that a little bit nervous. All that he can think now is what if Ino rejects him and don't want to be his friend anymore? He will lose his best friend.

"Onose!" Suddenly someone shout his name. Both Jun and Ino turns around to see that person. The person is not alone, but with 3 other boys, looks like they're older, and the one who shout his name is on the same age as them. Jun recognized him as Okada, one of his elementary school friend. He remembered that they once did the shoplifted thing together.

"Long time no see," Okada greets Jun, and then staring at Ino from head to toe, making Ino a little bit uncomfortable. "You're on a date, Onose?"

"Sort of," Jun put his arms around Ino. Ino stares confusedly at Jun. But he doesn't say anything.

Once they finished talking and Okada leaves, Ino says, "am I really look like a girl?"

"A little. Or maybe Okada has a bad eyesight." Jun respond it with a smile and that making Ino laugh.

They continue to walk, talking about music, about the bass and guitar, also about the high school that they'll gonna be attend.

"Ino, do you have someone that you like?" Jun suddenly asks that question when they sit on a bench.

Ino thinks for a while. "I think so."

"Oh," Jun doesn't want to ask further. At least he already can guess where this will lead them to.

"Why?"

"Oh, I'm just curious," Jun grins.

"And you?"

"I do have someone that I like. But it doesn't matter right now," Jun stares at the couple who walks in front of them, holding hands and looks so happy.

"Do I know that person?" Ino lovely eyes stares at Jun.

Jun nods, then staring at Ino. "It's...... You."

Ino has a few seconds to realize that and when he finally realizing it, his face turns red a little bit. "Eh? Really?"

"Yeah," Jun finally smiles. "But it doesn't matter now." He stands up.

"Wait! The person that I like is you," Ino stands beside Jun too and grabs his hand.

"Are you sure?"

"100% sure." Ino smiles.

Jun stares at Ino for a while, then he encourage himself to touch Ino's face and lay a kiss on his lips. Jun must admit that he once kissed a girl before, but not in a public place like this. What the hell, he doesn't care. At least now he knows that Ino have the same feeling like him.

Yet he doesn't realize that Ino already prepared something for him.  

***

Jun finally knows it the moment he comes to the new high school.

As he enters the high school to see the announcement of the new student acceptance, he sees someone familiar, having an argument with a teacher about his long hair.

"So if I keep my hair long, it's not clean? But the girls can keep their hair long. Why I have to cut my hair?"

"Because you are a boy."

Jun looks surprised. Doesn't Ino supposed to be in another school? But it's really Ino. Who else gonna keep his hair really long except Ino?

After a few argument, Ino finally leaves the teacher and sees Jun.

"They told you to cut it?"

Ino nods. "Just for the acceptance, after that I'm free again. And I'm not going to cut it like the other boys did."

"Aren't you supposed to be in another school?"

"My grades aren't high," Ino shows Jun his last grades report. When Jun reads that, he knows that Ino did that on purpose. He isn't that stupid. But Jun just smiles.

"So from now on, I'll always be by your side. At least we are on the same school now," Ino smiles happily.

Jun also feels happy inside. Seems like they will always be together from now. And he hopes, they will stay together like this for years.

-------------

"Junjun....." Someone calling J's name. He could recognize this voice. The voice that only belongs to the person that he loves. He opens his eyes and see Inoran's face.

"Morning...." J yawns. Inoran is standing beside him with just a towel wrapping on his waist.

"Good morning. Wake up now, you said you want to visit Hide-nii," Inoran smiles.

J sits on the bed with the still sleepy eyes. He reaches out his hand and hugs Inoran closely, then kissing his midriff.

Once he finished that, J told Ino to sit beside him and kiss him. It's been years already since that first kiss on the park. Now they are J, the bassist of LUNA SEA and INORAN, the guitarist of LUNA SEA. The band Lunacy that they created in high school was their first step before creating this band, that now already famous all around Japan.

"Come on, you already promise to visit him, right?" Ino smiles as they finished their kiss.

"Alright. Let me take a bath first," J finally leave the bed and go to the bathroom.

After preparing everything, they finally arrived at Hide's graveyard. Both J and Ino stares at Hide's grave and say their prayers. Hide is one of the important person in J's life, because without him, LUNA SEA will never be like this and he will never achieved his dream. After praying, J takes a glance at Ino. Ino put a flower in front of Hide's gravestone. He and Ino already passed through the hard times when he won't accept Hide's death, and the good times when their live break a record. Now, there's nothing else that he needs as long as Ino will always be there for him and just like J always hope, together forever.

(The End)
