Milo braced himself as his cheek banged into the pillow . His arms were held behind his back and he couldn't stop himself , but could only turn his neck and let the side of his face take the impact .

" Tell me , now ." Ryomen growled next to his ear and Milo swallowed visibly .

" I can't . " He said breathlessly and the other boy scowled, was he still resisting ?

With a quick motion , Ryomen flipped Milo over so that the black haired boy was on his back . Before Milo could even register this , his arms were held together by the wrists and his legs pinned down by Ryo's knees .

Milo couldn't move .

" I'll ask you one more time , " Ryo said slowly and he moved his face closer until their faces were parallel , " Why won't you marry me ? "

.....

Milo awoke with a start and his eyes turned around the room as soon as he sat up . What happened ? Where was he ?

A soft snore made him turn his head to the person next to him . Ryo slept soundly , his mouth slightly open and his face less menacing that usually was . Seeing him , Milo felt himself calm down and he layed back onto the mat where they were sleeping .

The two boys slept on a dark red mat , with a white and grey stripped blanket ontop of them . The room they were in was not too large but more practical than comfy . There was no wardrobe , but their clothes sat on a table in the corner , next to that was their shoes .

A window was on the right wall , it's screen wide open and the night sky peeked into their room . The floor was made of wood , polished to look chocolate brown , whilst the walls and ceiling were made of wood and thatch . There was a small green ball in the corner for dogs that belonged to Milo and besides that , the room was otherwise totally empty .

This was Milo's old room in his grandmother's house , which is where they were . Milo had come for the end of year holidays like he did ever year .

Why was Ryomen there though ? And more importantly ; Why were they sleeping together ?

Milo turned to the Ryomen's sleeping form and smiled happily . He would never forget what had brought them here .
