9 Chapter 9 Shoujo Effec

He saw Fumio cornered by girls from another class and raced up to them.

'Hey Yamaguchi-kun. Teacher wants you!' Duran shouted at him.

He yanked Fumio away from the complaining mob. They sprinted so hard that everything sailed past them like a big blur. They made their way to Himeko and Mei.

'Wow. You're both fast runners,' Himeko commented.

Both boys crouched over before her. They were panting for breath.

'Geeze. You abandoned me dude!' Fumio puffed. He slapped Duran's back.

'Sorry! I panicked. I'm really sorry! You can hit me again if makes you feel better.' Duran yelped.

He bowed low, and repeatedly, almost kissing Fumio's feet.

'Aw. Nah. How can I when you look cute as.' Fumio sighed.

He helped Duran straighten up. They both stared into each other's eyes with longing. And leaned in for a kiss.

'Woah!' Duran cried out as he came to his senses and pulled away. He realized the Shoujo Effect had evolved to Shounen Ai.

'This bad. Bad. Bad. Bad!' Duran muttered.

'Dude. I can't last the day like this,' Fumio said as he slumped down next to Himeko.

'It's that bad?' Himeko said with concern.

It had been a long time since she had seen her childhood friend so rattled.

High pitched squealing and desperate screaming caught Duran's attention. He peered over the railing and saw Saski being chased by a mob of girls.

On instinct, Duran fled the roof-top, down the stairs and corridor. Keeping track of Saski's plight.

He waited inconspicuously under the eaves of the doorway ahead of the mob. When he saw Saski racing toward him, he stepped out and yanked him toward himself.

Duran led their escape to the roof-top where they collapsed next to Mei and Fumio.

He saw two other boys had joined the group. He recalled that Dai'chi Santo guy from that conversation he had eavesdropped on before his science class. He had never met the other boy before. The other person was skinny, smaller, and extremely cute for a boy wearing thin-framed glasses.

'Geez Nii-san. How much more running you gonna do?'

Duran laid himself down on the ground. He stared up to a clear spring sky.

'Just let me die will yah.' He exhaled. Exhausted.

He closed his eyes for the moment. When he opened them he saw the cute glasses' boy staring down on him with a wide grin. Saski's face was next to his.

'Wah!' Duran abruptly sat up and almost knocking his head on Saski's jaw.

'Don't freak me out like that!'

'Sorry. Just seeing if you were okay,' the cute glasses' boy politely replied.

Duran felt his heart leap up to his throat. He was certain that it was the shoujo effect causing the unbearable stiffness in his groin, and hot flushes to his cheeks, at the sight of the boy's soft pink lips and gorgeous almond eyes. A sensation of lust overcame him.

'You're a beauty. I wanna kiss you.' Duran blurted.

He slapped his hands over his mouth to shut himself up. Stopping himself from jumping the boy.

'Woah! Whadya saying?' The cute glasses' boy stammered. He awkwardly backed away from Duran.

'Sorry!' Duran shook his head clear.

'Me too. Fujita-kun, you're way too cute.' Saski chewed his lip to stop himself from saying more.

He faced Duran with intentions to thank him for saving him from those girls. Instead, he pounced on him when their eyes met. Unable to resist his uncontrollable urges to ravish him.

Duran struggled against Saski's insistent kisses and groping. He screamed for him to get off.

'This is serious shit.' Dai'chi sniggered as he and Fumio pried Saski off Duran.

'Don't snicker Senpai.' Saski whimpered.

He went to cower in a corner away from Duran.

'This is horrible. I was chased by packs of girls. No vixens! No matter how many turn offs I think of when I look at people, nothing works! Now with Kita-kun. THIS SUCKS!'

He wrapped his arms around himself to hold back the chills he felt to his bones.

'Wow, you make me feel so special Tsubaki-kun,' Duran said sarcastically.

Saski ignored him.

'Dude. Those girls were gonna eat me alive.' Fumio shuddered. His face paled at the horrid thought.

'Gawd. Look at you guys complaining about something that'd never happen to your average high school boy in any lifetime.' Fujita-kun chuckled.

'Fujita, Aki. This is no laughing matter! It's the shoujo effect that has caused all of this.' Mei scolded the cute glasses' boy.

'Yeah. I guess you're right. I can't imagine girls wanting to chase them for any other reason,' Aki replied.

'Hey!' Fumio yelled out.

Aki's eyes met Duran's again.

Suddenly, he felt his heart pounding against his chest. His palms became clammy. Thoughts in his head were begging him to "do" that handsome, green-eyed and chiselled face prince before him.

He leaped for Duran and pinned him to the ground with his hands feeling up his body.

'Ugh. Get off me! Guys! Help please!' Duran screeched.

He saw Saski and Fumio yank Aki off him.

'Whada hell you're doing!'

'Sorry. Sorry. I dunno know what came over me just then,' Aki said with a perplexed expression.

Duran realized he was affected.

'Ugh! It's gone all Yaoi!' He gasped.

'YOU THINK?!' All the boys shouted in unison.

'Hang on. Aki-kun's not in 1-A. So how can he be affected?' Dai'chi asked.

'The condition is viral. Others outside 1-A can be contaminated on contact?' Duran gulped.

Dead silence fell upon the group as the penny dropped.

'That's it! I'm going to see Sensei and demand he fixes this right now.' Saski declared.

He stormed off towards the door.

'Hey. Hey. Wait up!' Duran yelled after Saski.

He hurried after him.

'Hey. Yamaguchi-kun. You come too,' Duran called out to Fumio over his shoulder.

Fumio sighed and followed.

The others gave each other pensive glances that said, "I'm not going to miss this".

Everyone packed up their bags and hurried after the boys.
