I am looking for a story from a few years ago. The protagonists were both in the young range of High School, and one was asian, or Philipino or something, while the other was from the same country that the story takes place in, the U.S. of A. The asian kid is new to the country, gets bullied on his way home, and collapses on the sidewalk, is some sort of fit. The narrator finds him, tries to comfort him, and manages to get him stable enough for the protag. to walk/carry him home. The protagonist had no clue he was gay, till he held another boy in his arms. When they get to the new kid’s Aunt’s house, we find that she is some kind of Duchess from her home country. The bulk of the story is simply theme realizing they both want a relationship with another boy, and the asian kid coming out of his shell. I think the second chapter was narrated by the asian kid.
I can’t remember when I saw it, or where. Here? Nifty.org? Some othere place? Anyone want to help me out here?

... but the author was 'The Alienist', who used to post here under the name 'David from Hong Kong' and subsequently as 'David from Thailand'.
If I can track down the title, I'll let you know.
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Thanks to that prompt from cossie jogging my memory, I think the story is "Holding on for dear life" - Nifty archives, "Young Friends" section, posted october 2001. http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/young-friends/holding-on-for-dear-life/ , or the equivalent directory on your local Nifty mirror.

What a terrific story!! I'll never forget it and hope that David reads this as encouragement to get back to writing again. I think I'll visit Nifty for a reread of it myself.
