Chapter Notes
     Well I always wanted to write something like this because En and
     Ibushi are my favorite characters in the show and imagine them
     together it's like the cutest thing ever, especially as kids, so this
     came out of that need XD
                                 Little Friends
 
He is bored again, every day is like this. He spends the whole day alone
waiting for his parents to come back and then going back to sleep. There’s no
one who can play with him, there’s nothing he can play with… well he has some
toys, but he is simply boring of those already. At least if his parents would
accept buying him a cat, he would have a pet to take care of… although that
would be too troublesome.
He sighs, it’s too early and he doesn’t know what to do, he doesn’t want to
sleep all the afternoon again and then the whole night, but it seems like he
doesn’t have any choice. He has already watched all the movies, all the
cartoons, everything his parents have bought for him. He is already bored of
that and he is bored of this places.
He looks through the window, the place looks as boring as it has been since the
first day he and his family got there. The place where they are living now it’s
nice, he has to admit, but the property is too big and there are no kids
around, he wishes he could go back to their small house, he does not like this
house at all. Sometimes, he wishes his parents wouldn’t think so much about
work, and could think a bit more about taking him to a place where he could
play with other kids. He is sure that this lack of activity will have
consequences in the future and he hopes that his parents won’t complain in that
moment, after all they have some guilt on this.
He hears the door being open, it’s weird, it’s not the time for any of his
parents to come back, but he stands up and runs to the door. He sees his mom
and another lady with her.
“En-chan, dear, it’s good to see you!” his mom greets him and he goes towards
her and hugs her.
“Are you gonna stay, mommy?”  the small kid asks, his mother hugs him and with
just that he knows that his mom is here for a few moments.
“I’m sorry sweety, I gotta go back to work, you know, we are here for working
purposes and your dad is waiting for me, Mrs. Arima needed to meet you.”
“Hello young boy, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” said lady greets him, but he
hides behind his mom’s legs.
“I apologize, he is not used to talk with other people besides me and his
father,” his mother explains.
It’s just obvious that he cannot speak with other people, he does not know how
to do it, maybe if he could have just one friend it would be easier for him to
talk. En thinks while grabbing his mother’s dress strongly with his tiny hands.
“I see, anyways, I think he’ll be the perfect company for my dear boy, I make
sure one of my maids come here to get him tomorrow morning,” the lady says and
turns around, “I’ll give you some moments with your boy so we can go back to
the office.”
“Thank you Mrs. Arima,” his mom replies and goes down to pick him up.
“Why can’t you stay? I like it more when we could be together all day,” En
mentions and wraps his arms around his mom’s neck.
She kisses his tiny arms and his cheek and takes him to the couch.
“I know, I used to love those days too, but your daddy and I decided that we
need to work for your future,” his mom says and sits him on her lap.
“I don’t want a future, I want to be with you and daddy, that’s better,” the
kid says and plays with his mom curly hair which is the same color than his, “I
don’t want you to leave me all day.”
The kid complains and hugs his mom, she smiles, she knows it’s not really fair
for him and it’s not the best decision to leave the kid alone almost all day.
At least, she feels a bit better now that Mrs. Arima’s child is going to be
with En for some days before they leave this place.
“Let’s make a deal, in a couple of days we’re going back to Binan City, I’ll
make sure that daddy and I can spend a whole week with you, ok?”
The child does not reply, he puffs his cheeks and turns around. That breaks a
bit his mom’s heart, and he also understands that he’s being stubborn, but he
has a reason. He is a child.
His mother suddenly starts stroking his hair, he wants to jump and run, he
knows that’s something that is gonna make him fall asleep, and it actually
happens. He falls asleep and his mom takes him to his room.
The next morning, En is sleeping peacefully on his bed, he’s holding his dear
Chiku-chan, a cat plushie that his mom made for him when he was just a baby,
but suddenly this beautiful moment is interrupted. His mom wakes him up and
gets him ready to go out.
“I don’t wanna go,” he complains and tries to take off the sweater, since he
can’t he chooses to pick up Chiku-chan and hugs the plushie.
“En-chan, you’re gonna have a new friend, please honey, behave just for today,
if you don’t enjoy today I’ll speak with Mrs. Arima, ok?”
The kid has teary red eyes, he looks at his mom and then at his father, he
cannot say no to them, he loves them too much. So, even if he does not really
want to go, he nods. His mom carries him downstairs, where the maid is already
waiting for them.
“I’m sorry for the lateness, we needed to talk to him,” his father says to the
maid who gently smiles.
“There’s no problem, hello little boy, are you ready to go?” the young woman
asks and En looks at his mom and then back at the maid to nod.
The young lady takes his free little hand, since he takes Chiku-chan with him,
and goes with him to the limousine that is waiting for them, and then the boy
waves good bye to his parents. After a couple of minutes the vehicle stops and
the maid indicates him to get off of the car. He is guided by her through a
huge mansion and takes him to a beautiful garden full of flowers of almost all
the possible colors that he could imagine. In the middle of that lovely place
there’s a crystal table and two fancy chairs, En’s eyes widened, he can’t
believe that a place like this can be real, he thought that this was only
something that could be real in fairy tales.
“Please take a sit, I’ll go for the young master,” she indicates.
En nods, he tries to sit, but the chair is actually too big for him, so he
decides to wait while looking around to the different types of flowers, he
holds Chiku-chan closed to his chest and tries to jump to get a better view to
some of the flowers. Then, he listens to some footsteps, so he hurries to get
close to the table again.
“Yufuin En, he is Arima Ibushi, young master, Yufuin En, he is going to be with
you for the next couple of days,” the maid says and introduce both of them.
En gets a bit uncomfortable, he knows that yesterday he was complaining for not
having friends, but he is not used to meet people, so he does not know how to
react. On the other side, Ibushi seems rather happy to have someone to talk and
play again, and he kind of recognized what En is feeling. He has gone through
that after all and it was all thanks to the kids he met at Binan City that he
now had a different way of thinking.
“Hi, you can call me Ibushi,” he says and offers his hand to the boy.
“Hi… guess you can call me En…” the smaller one replies and grabs Ibushi hand.
“Great, do you want to eat some cake? Or do you want to play something? We can
play in this garden or in my room? Just tell me what you want to do,” the green
haired boy comments.
 En gets a bit more excited with the idea of being there.  After all, he is
being offered with a lot of different options and the boy, well Ibushi seems to
be really nice.
“Can we eat cake? And then we can play, what’s your favorite game? I usually
don’t play cuz I’m alone at home, so I don’t know…” En feels suddenly ashamed,
he does not often speak to other people and admitting that it is kind of hard.
“It’s ok, I didn’t know either, until I met two boys at Binan City, they were
really kind and taught me how to have a good time,” Ibushi comments and kindly
smiles to En.
The blue eyes kid gives a shy smile back, at least Ibushi says he understands,
so it’s not so bad to be honest with this boy.
“Please take a sit,” Ibushi says, but En seems to be uncomfortable at the
proposal.
“It’s too high… I couldn’t sit a while ago…” the boy admits, but muffling his
voice with Chiku-chan.
“So, would you want to go and eat cake next to the lake, it’s really closed and
we can play there.”
En smiles and nods, a lake is always a nice place to play, but also sleep. They
walk together, with the maid’s company, towards the lake. Both children sit on
the blanket that now is covering the grass, the maid gives them a piece of cake
and some juice. For the moment, both kids enjoy the moment, not talking a lot,
but at least getting used to each other’s company. When they finish with their
food, Ibushi proposes to go and play, but En looks a bit sleepy.
“I’m no used to play, why don’t we talk?” En says.
“Talk? About?”
“Why do you think that the sky is blue? I mean it’s my favorite color, but
it’ll be cool to have a green sky once in a while, don’t you think?” En starts
the conversation without giving to little Ibushi the chance to give his
opinion.
“A green sky? That would be weird! The sky has to be blue!” Ibushi says and
looks at En as if he could convince the other to drop the conversation.
“Why?” En is totally serious about his questions, but Ibushi is totally puzzled
on the issue.
The green haired kid have never thought on something like this, and he does not
know what kind of answer En is waiting for. He seems to think, but no reply
comes to his mind. The blue eyed kid seems to understand what’s going on in
Ibushi’s mind, and if he has to be honest, he does not want to seem to be rude.
“What do you want to play?”
“Eh? Do you want to play?” Ibushi asks surprised now, but seems to be a lot
more relaxed.
En nods, and so Ibushi asks for the ball, they both start playing around and
then after the ball falls into the lake they stop.
“It’s a nice lake, it would be cool to swim there,” En comments while he looks
at the lake.
“We can swim tomorrow, you’re coming tomorrow right?” Ibushi asks excited.
“I guess, mommy told me I had to come here every day,” the child who is holding
Chiku-chan again replies, “If I come again, can you teach me how to take care
of the plants, I saw a lot of flowers and mommy loves flowers, so…”
“Of course, we can do a lot of things in the next couple of days!”
 
And it is actually like that, during the next days the kids play together, swim
in the lake, take care of the plants, and they even convince one of the maids
to teach them how to bake a cake. Laziness and sleepiness is easily forgotten
by En who now seems to be more active and does not have so many difficulties to
speak with Ibushi anymore.
Unfortunately, the time for En to return to Binan City has come and today is
their last day together.
“This sucks…” En says, he is hugging his dear plushie and does not want to look
at Ibushi since his eyes are teary.
“I know… but I’m sure we will meet again,” the green haired boy mentions and
looks at En with such a confident expression that the blue eyes boy believes
him.
“Yes!”
“Hey, I have an idea!!!” Ibushi grabs En by the wrist and runs with him towards
the garden.
When they are in the garden, Ibushi looks for a specific pot. Once he finds it,
En can see some tiny blue flowers on it.
“There are call “forget-me-not” you’re gonna plant this at your place as the
reminded that we will see again, deal?”
“Deal!”
They shake hands and then have a strong hug as a farewell.
 
===============================================================================
 
 
“I see that you actually planted them,” the teen comments while walking with
the dirty blond teen.
“It was a promise, right?” En replies and open the door, “By the way thanks for
coming and help me with the cake, I forgot the recipe.”
“Well, it was a long time ago, and it’s not a problem,” Ibushi replies and goes
in to the house, “I’ve never thanked you before, but thank you for not
revealing that we know each other.”
“I deduce it was the best thing to do once Atsushi made the comment about you.”
Ibushi simply nods and takes off his shoes, he takes a look around the house,
it is just as he imagined it when En talked about his real home when they were
kids. He smiles at the memory, and he’s actually glad to see that En lost all
his shyness and kept his awkwardness for conversations topics.
“Are we gonna keep the act? You know, better not to reveal to them that we know
each other since a long time ago?”
“Yes, indeed, I think it’s better like that” Ibushi replies.
“Cool, it’s actually funny,” En comments and they smile.
Together they go to the kitchen and start baking the cake that En needs for his
mother birthday. Maybe a lot of things have changed, and maybe they wouldn’t be
so closed as the way they were when they were children, but it is actually a
nice thing to know they share that part of their lives. 
 
 
 
***** I'll Catch you *****
Chapter Summary

     and listen to the other, and the first time that same person realize
     he wouldn't be able to survive without the other, finally saying the
     words, I love you.
Chapter Notes
     When I started writing this, was the moment when I realized that my
     brain was going to be a damn bastard wanting to have a whole "series"
     for their relationship, now I thank my brain cuz I actually liked how
     it turned out to be.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
                                I'll Catch You
 
“He has always been fascinated by weird things, that’s why he never believed
that he could fall for something so simple.”
It’s his first day at this new school, he has seen so many people come and go
and he is sure that he does not like so much movement. After the first period
is over, he stays inside the classroom, he does not really needs to go outside,
not even to the restroom, he just needs to take a small nap and recharge his
batteries, not like that is gonna make any difference to be honest. However,
there are two voices in the classroom, for the first time he is not the only
one who stays there during the free time. He takes a quick glance over the two
other kids, one with white haired the other one with blue haired. Nice, he
thinks as he tries to sleep one more time. 
During his second day, he listens again to the same voices, one of them is
talking about a series he has watched, he would like to jump into the
conversation, but he does not want to look at someone who is nosy. Once again,
he only looks at their direction, taking a particular interested on the guy who
is wearing glasses.
It’s a shame that the reflection does not allow him to catch a glimpse on the
eye color, he bets that those eyes must have an interesting color.
                             *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
It’s been weeks since the classes have started, and it’s been weeks since he
has been listening to those kids talking during the breaks. Their conversations
topics are really varied, but he knows he loves more when Kinugawa, that’s the
last name, leads the conversation. Although, there’s something that keeps
bugging him, what’s his eyes color? It may be incredible that they have been
classmates for almost two months and even if they are in all the classes
together, he hasn’t been able to really take a good look at him. Well, he
hasn’t tried hard to be honest, but he does not want to be taken as a weirdo
for all his other classmates.
Besides, Kinugawa usually spends all his time with Kusatsu, literally they
spend all the time together, so he does not know how to approach him. Yes, he
just wants to approach Kinugawa since his instinct tells him that maybe Kusatsu
won’t like him. On the other hand, Kinugawa seems to be easier to handle, and
as he has believed from the beginning more interesting.
However, there’s something else that stops him to try to become Kinugawa’s
friend, at this moment of the year he is known as the “lonely wolf,” most of
his classmates think that he is just “too serious and anti-social” because he
sleeps all day. That’s just the most misunderstanding judgment he has been
given in all his life. He sighs, again another day has passed and he hasn’t
even talked to this boy.
After school is over, he walks downtown for a while, he has been saving money
to buy a new game and maybe go and buy some curry at that place he found the
other day. Once he comes out from the game store, in which there was no more
copies of the games, he goes out completely resigned to accept that things are
not going the way he wanted them to be.
Trying to shake off the feeling he walks to the restaurant, CoCoKaRa Curry, the
only place he has liked in the entire city to eat curry. Nonetheless, he will
enjoy it even more if he could come with someone here. He takes a sit in one of
the booths and places his backpack in front of him, after all no one will come
to eat with him.
He is about to leave after he has finished his curry, being honest he needs to
be at home before 6p.m. and it’s almost 5:30p.m., he is not sure he can
accomplish the quest. Nevertheless, before he goes out of the restaurant he
hears that voice, Kinugawa’s voice.
“A special coupon for tomorrow? Yes! I want it! I’ll be here tomorrow!” he
listens to him saying and by the corner of his eyes he sees Kinugawa leaving
the place.
“Excuse me sir, what’s that about a special coupon?” En does not realize that
somehow he is kind of planning his first outing with Kinugawa, or at least he
is hoping for that.
“Oh, I’m sorry boy, apparently I forgot to give you one, thanks heaven you
asked, let me explain.”
Yufuin actually does not pay attention to the whole explanation that this sir
is giving him, he is just thinking on how he can approach Kinugawa and tell him
that they can come together to have some spicy curry. No… he can’t do that, he
will sound as a stalker, still he will keep the coupon and if he gets to figure
out how he can do this without looking as a stalker, he will.
                         *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Next day at school, Yufuin has been thinking during all the classes on how to
go and talk to Kinugawa. So far, nothing has come to his mind, he has not even
napped in all day just to get a single idea, but it seems that his brain does
not want to cooperate. He has come to the conclusion that if after lunch time
there are no ideas, he will go alone to CoCoKaRa Curry, after all he is used to
that, so there’s nothing wrong in going alone one more time, right?
The bell rings, the end of school day is here and he hurries to go out of the
classroom, he couldn’t think on something, so he better leaves before Atsushi
get to the restaurant first. Nonetheless, there’s a feeling that tells him to
stop… it’s weird, he has never felt that before, but he decides to stay at the
entrance of the school building. Being there, En feels his heart about to come
out, why is it that this Kinugawa has caught his attention? Practically, he has
only listened to the boy talking, he has never held a conversation with him or
look properly at him. He sighs one more time and looks down, it’s really weird.
He listens to some footsteps, someone is running, who would have energy to run
at this hour? When he looks up, he sees Kinugawa running. Almost immediately he
feels the urge to go after him, and he does.
Yufuin sees the blue haired teen running really fast, geez, he really is in a
hurry, but in an instant, Kinugawa trips. Suddenly, En moves faster than at any
other possible time in his life, just in time to grab Kinugawa’s wrist and save
him from what it looks like a really bad and awful fall. His heart is beating
fast, but he tries to play it cool in front of Kinugawa. The bespectacled boy
slowly regains his balance and looks up at him.
En cannot believe it, this is the first time that he will look at Kinugawa’s
eyes, and he will see his eyes color clearly, that’s been a question that’s
been hunting him for a long time.
However, before he can take a precise look, Kinugawa speaks to him and he tries
to immediately focus.
“Tha…thank you,” the boy shyly says.
“You are Kinugawa, right? Where are you going?” En tries to take a smooth lead
of the conversation and avoiding being too obvious in this situation.
“To CoCoKaRa Curry,” Kinugawa replies, a tiny smile showing on his face.
“Right, today they have their extra spicy curry,” Yufuin thanks to whatever God
has helped him to remember part of that sir’s words that gave him the coupon.
“Yufuin, you like curry?” he listens to Kinugawa excited voice asking him.
“Pretty well,” he manage to reply on time, what is the color of Kinugawa’s
eyes? He is still not sure since the sunlight is distorting the colors at this
moment.
“Want to go with me? I’ve got a coupon,” the bespectacled boy offers him and
shows the coupon he got at CoCoKaRa Curry and smiles at him.
“So do I,” En replies and shows his own.
It’s so weird for En to know that this is actually happening, they walk
together, he can finally speak with one of his classmates, the one he has been
feeling more curious about it. For the first time in forever, En does not feel
bored while walking down the streets and for the very first time he does not
sit alone. Once they order their curry, they go to one of the booths and sit
one in front of the other.
For a moment, En has forgotten about what he really wanted to look at Kinugawa,
but when the bespectacled boy asks him if he comes here frequently he
remembers. He wants to look at Kinugawa’s eye color, it must be a really
interesting color.
He looks up and unconsciously lets out an “Eh?” being disappointed of the
color, simply brown.
However, Kinugawa giggles, he believes Yufuin must have not listen to his
question and looking at him with his mouth half open and about to get a spoon
full of curry makes him look funnier. Yufuin tries to go back to normal and
remember the question.
“Almost every day,” he says putting the spoon down and waiting to see if
there’s another reply.
“That’s great, we can keep coming together, my friend Kin-chan, does not like
curry, so when I want to eat curry I have to come alone,” Kinugawa explains and
offers a happy smile to Yufuin.
En tries to correspond in the same way, but he is still thinking that brown
eyes are too simple for such an interesting person.
                               *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*:*
Time has passed and many things have changed, the biggest change according to
En’s perspective is that Kusatsu and Atsushi are no longer friends. He feels a
bit guilty about it, because it happened right after he went with Atsushi to
have curry. He has even tried to make Atsushi go and talk to Kusatsu because he
knows how hurt Atsushi is about this, but with no result. 
The second change that Yufuin has noticed is that he does not stay alone in the
classroom and that he always goes back with someone. Now, he is always with
Atsushi, and he will be lying if he said that he is not happy for this. They
have even participated together in an eating spicy curry contest and they won,
that day was when they call by their names for the very first time, and
whenever he thinks about that day he smiles.
The third change, well that’s a pretty obvious one, they are about to start
high school and even if Binan High was not one of his options, seriously no one
who is lazy would like to go to that school, he applied to it just because of
Atsushi. Even more interesting is the fact that he passed the test, he won’t
forget the moment when Atsushi hugged him when they saw the results and both of
them had made it into Binan High. Again, Yufuin cannot stop smiling when he
remembers Atsushi’s sparkling eyes with joy and excitement for imagining them
together in Binan High.
Which leads him to remember the fourth biggest change he has noticed, and also
final change. This one being the fact that he has been falling hard for brown
eyes. He does not see them so common now, at least not in Atsushi’s case, he
wants to always look at them to find the different shapes of the color they can
give with every emotion that Atsushi manages to express. Yes, he is trapped
into that enigma every day.
                          *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
He feels as if his world has ended and just curses the moment in which that
damn Wombat got into their lives. En looks when Atsushi jumps into that roof to
save Kusatsu, he knows he has the right to save and protect one of his best
friends, he, himself, did it just a couple of minutes before, but …
There’s no reason that can contradict Atsushi’s behavior, he thinks as he just
waits to see that Atsushi is safe and sound. En keeps holding his breath until
the moment he finally sees the blue haired teen landing hard against the ground
with Kusatsu. He lets out a breath he was holding and gets a bit scared for the
injury he can distinguish on Atsushi’s back. Well, even if he does not want to,
he will have to wait until this is solved to scold Atsushi for his reckless
actions, and of course help him with that injury.
After some fighting, and as he believes the most ridiculous fight in history of
fights, they are finally free of that tedious duty as Battle Lovers. The
outcome being the most positive one, Atsushi and Kusatsu are friends again, he
is happy for Atsushi and he can see in Atsushi’s eyes that his heart is
overflowing with happiness. He thanks to whatever source of divine power that
made this possible, because no freaking way in hell that he is going to thank a
pink Wombat who made him used that ridiculous suit and made him said those
stupid phrases about love and stuff.
“How are you feeling?” En asks to Atsushi when they are finally alone during
that day.
“Better than ever!” the bespectacled boy replies and En can see in the shining
light that those two brown orbs emanate that that is true, but in an emotional
level.
“I mean physically, how’s your back?” even if he enjoys that beautiful show of
precious bright colors, he has to be honest and let Atsushi knows what really
bothers him in this moment.
“Eh?… well…” Atsushi hesitates in his answers and En stops their pace just to
have the opportunity to look at Atsushi straight to his eyes.
“Honesty.”
That simple word tells to Atsushi that En would not accept a lie or any other
statement that can make him feel better, En only wants the true. The blue
haired teen sighs, well they don’t have secrets and he has learnt that honesty
is the key for a great relationship.
“It hurts… but not as bad as I thought”
“We’re going to my house,” En says and grabs Atsushi’s wrist, of course he does
it in a delicately way, he does not want to cause him more pain.
Once at his place, En looks for some bandages and pain killers that can help
Atsushi. Seriously, he would not forgive himself if he does not take care of
Atsushi today, he sighs; he really was scared when he couldn’t see Atsushi for
those seconds, which seems to be hours for him, time is weird he thinks to try
to get his attention into something else with no result.
“En-chan, are you ok?” the sudden voice of Atsushi talking to him startles him
a bit, but he tries to act it out as best as he can.
“I’m alright, I’m just wondering where my mom put the pills, she’s always
moving the stuff and I get lost,” En replies and makes as if he is looking for
something.
“En-chan, the pills are already on the tray…” the blue haired teen says and
points at the pills, “You really don’t have to do this, I can go home, you also
must be tired and…”
“I want to… please… go back to my room, I’ll be there in a moment,” the blue
eyed teen replies, and the other simply nods.
He feels bad, he practically yelled at Atsushi those words, but he is feeling
too out of control in this moment, what would he have done if Atsushi has… no
he can’t think about that. Atsushi is here with him, he can still see those
eyes; he can still keep trying to discover each of the emotions and feelings
they reflect. En does his best to breathe in and out before going back to his
room to calm himself, he hadn’t had realized before but his hands are shaking
and he feels as he can burst into tears at any moment, who would have say it? A
big guy about to cry for his best friend… because they are only friends, right?
He goes through the stairs and get into his room, first thing he sees is
Atsushi sitting on the futon and half asleep, he puts the tray on the desk
before going right next to Atsushi something catches his attention. There’s a
calendar that he keeps there so he does not forget important dates… just to
realize that he almost forgot an important date, Atsushi’s birthday…
Stupid aliens who get in his way, well it’s not as he has planned something,
but he is sure that if he has come back earlier to his home he would have seen
it before and would have had the chance to plan something. Damn aliens! He
thinks again and goes to sit next to Atsushi taking two of the pills since
Atsushi will probably not accept the bandages.
“Atsushi…” En whispers trying to wake him up, “Come on, you need to take at
least these before sleeping,” En murmurs.
Slowly Atsushi starts blinking, his eyes look teary, and his expression shows
complete exhaustion, but even if it is like that, En sees them as the most
beautiful pearls that he has ever seen in his entire life. He cannot place the
exact moment when this has happened, because even if he has always been
attracted to the weirdest and shocking facts, colors, and things; he now knows
that he has fallen for something as simple as brown eyes.
Nevertheless, his mind and thoughts insist, those are not simple brown eyes,
those are Atsushi’s eyes.
Those eyes are his world now.
“En-chan, what is it?”
Atsushi asks, but there are no words, instead Atsushi suddenly feels a quick
and smooth movement in which En links their lips together. A tender and chaste
kiss that last less than thirty seconds. In that precise moment the clock
strikes midnight, they pull apart from the kiss, and for a moment the two teens
remain silent.
Atsushi is astonished.
En is embarrassed, but he knows that he had to do it.
“Happy birthday, Atsushi, I love you.”
Sometimes En wonders if his brain can have some kind of mercy with him or if it
is always going to make him act like this. However, he does not regret it, he
just wonders that out of curiosity because he has never felt as happy as now,
he has finally realized why those brown eyes were so captivating to him.
And now he looks at those eyes, more mysterious than ever, he feels scared that
the answer Atsushi is going to give him won’t be the one he is hoping for. At
least, he has seen those eyes showing him a different emotion.
“En-chan…” Atsushi whispers, a blush starts to cover his cheeks, well
practically all of his face.
“I love you,” En repeats again, he wants to bit his tongue to stop saying silly
things, but his heart can do more than his own reason, “I love you, I have
fallen so hard for you that now my favorite eye color is brown, can you imagine
that?”
The dirty blond keeps talking, he has never felt so nervous before, “But your
eyes are special Atsushi, they are not just some kind of simple brown, I have
seen them so many times and still they are always different, I love them, I
love you.”
His heart is pounding so hard he can listen to it in his own ears and he knows
he is also blushing.
“And…”
He is about to start saying something more, but now is Atsushi the one who
moves, not so quick, because En can see everything happening as if the actions
are being reproduce in slow motion. Yufuin can observe as Atsushi reaches for
him, his hands cupping his own face and the beautiful brown orbs coming closer
than they have ever been for the second time. They are kissing again, they are
kissing because Atsushi wants to kiss him, does it mean?
The kiss lasts for a bit longer this time, their lips playing and opening a bit
so their tongues can taste each other’s lips. Once they get to pull apart one
more time, just because they need some air, they can see clearly the blush on
each other’s face.
“Thank you for the greatest gift ever, I love you too,” Atsushi finally says.
As careful as he can, En wraps his arms around Atsushi, who corresponds in the
same way. He pampers the blue haired teen with kisses all over his face and
whispers as many “thank you’s” as he can. Honestly, En didn’t know this was so
important for him until now.
“Promise me you will never do anything as dangerous as what you did today,
please!” En expresses and for one more time looks Atsushi to his eyes.
“I can’t say no, because you know me and if any of my friends, or especially
you are in danger, I wouldn’t think it twice to try and save them,” Atsushi
replies, shyly smiling and accepting the kisses that En has not stopped giving
him.
“Then, I guess I’ll have to jump first to save you, and catch you whenever you
can be in some kind of danger” he adds and hugs him a bit stronger.
“I supposed,” Atsushi giggles, not only for En being so worried, but also for
the kisses that are starting to tickle him.
En cannot stop thinking about a phrase he read some time ago, he remembers the
phrase and repeats it on his mind.
“Sometimes you meet with someone, and even though you never liked brown eyes
before, their eyes are your new favorite color.”
En smiles as he strokes Atsushi’s hair, he cannot believe how accurate and
fitting is that phrase to him, but he is happy that he has been able to find
such a beauty in that brown paradise.

Chapter Summary
     A special surprise for their first special day as a couple which
     turns out to be Atsushi's birthday.
Chapter Notes
     Birthday day! It was funny cuz I wrote part of it on my own birthday
     so I had the birthday mood on XDD
                           Happy_Birthday,_my_dear!
 
October 5th’s morning; it’s kind of cold, but it’s good to know that it’s a
free day, not because of a holiday or weekend, but because the school has to go
over repairs. It’s already 7:00a.m when Atsushi wakes up, he does not identify
the place where he is right away, but when he feels an arm around his waist he
remembers. He has slept over En-chan’s place and when he thinks about the first
minutes of this day he blushes.
He would have never imagined that his feelings could be corresponded in the
same way, but En was actually the first one to speak. Atsushi moves towards En
and snuggles a bit on the boy’s chest which cause the other to wake up. Still
feeling sleepy En looks down and sees the blue haired mane snuggling and
curling over him, his heart skips a beat, so it actually happens, he thinks as
he smiles.
“Good morning birthday boy! How are you feeling today?” En asks him giving him
a sweet kiss on the forehead.
“Happier than ever,” Atsushi replies a fond smile on his face and letting some
giggles coming out when he feels En’s kisses around his cheeks.
“I’m gonna make some breakfast… or actually checked what mom has left, stay
here, ok?”
“Ok,” the blue haired teen replies and sees as En leaves the room, Atsushi can
help but keep that silly smile on his face, he is really happy and this without
a doubt is one of the greatest birthdays he has ever had.
On the other hand, En has gotten into the kitchen and he mentally thanks to his
mom that she actually left something ready. He takes a couple of dishes out and
distributes everything in equal amounts, no way he is going to let his Atsushi
eat less, not on his birthday. Then, En looks for another tray around the
kitchen, he should have brought back the one he took over his room at night,
but he forgot it. Once he finds one, he puts there the two dishes with rice,
then two others with soup and lastly two cups with tea. For a moment, En takes
a pause and blushes…
‘This seems as we are already married’ he thinks to himself and gets even
redder with that idea, but that same thought reminds him of something else.
“I haven’t asked him to be my boyfriend… I just told him I love him,” En
mutters and immediately knows that he has to do something.
 He goes upstairs, carefully carrying the tray and opening the door. En sees
Atsushi completely wrapped with the blanket, and giggles at the view.
“Is it too cold?” En asks.
“No… I just got a message from my parents, they want me to go home to celebrate
my birthday…” Atsushi says, “I told them that I’d be there before noon… sorry,
I couldn’t say no,” the bespectacled boy replies and looks down.
“It’s ok,” En replies, but inside he feels that a part of his soul is
shattering, “We will celebrate together tomorrow, what do you think?”
Atsushi looks like a small child, he is pouting and looking away, definitely he
wanted to spend the day with En, but he has never been able to say no to his
parents. Noticing that Atsushi is having such a big dilemma, En sits right next
to him and takes his hand.
“It’s ok, in that way I have time to come up with something special,” En says,
his voice comes out in a singing like tune that makes Atsushi turns around with
brilliant eyes.
“A special surprise?” he mutters looking at En with excitement just like a kid.
“Yes, but only if you eat all your breakfast and go with your parents without
sulking.”
“I am not sulking!”
The blue eyed teen smiles and makes Atsushi pouts, which makes him feel
happier, he has won; Atsushi is sulking. After breakfast, they get ready, En
has promised to Atsushi to go and leave him at home and that they would text
each other for their plans on the weekends. Since they have just confessed
their feelings, they preferred to say “good bye” as they normally do so
Atsushi’s parents won’t freak out.
“Text you later,” En says and leaves.
Atsushi waves good bye and sighs, he really wishes that this year his parents
would have let him stay with En, but of course they don’t know anything yet,
even himself didn’t know that this would happen. He gets inside his place,
immediately he is greeted by his mother, who hugs him and kisses his cheek.
“Happy birthday my dear boy! I can’t believe you have become this handsome
boy!” his mother says and presses his cheeks.
“Hehehehe… thank you mother,” Atsushi replies, he is really thankful for the
nice surprise, since once his mother lets him go he sees some decorations,
ballons and some gifts and when they go to the dining room he sees his birthday
cake and a lot of food.
A lot of food that he does not think he can’t eat, but he knows that En will
ask him to. He giggles, and his family looks at him.
“I am just happy, thanks for everything,” he politely says.
“We are happy as well son, now let’s eat all together, today is a special day,”
his father expresses and all the family sits together.
“Let’s offer a toast to our little Atsushi who has become a very fine man and
let’s hope he can accomplish all his dreams, but mainly, finding true love, as
the way our mother and father did,” his sister mentions, she really loves
Atsushi and he knows she really means those words.
“Thank you very much sister,” Atsushi replies, happy with how things are going,
for a moment he considers telling them about his new relationship with En, but
he restrains himself, he considers that it will be better if En could be there
at the moment when he gets to say it to his family.
Their day goes pretty much as a normal family day, and that’s perfectly fine
for Atsushi. He smiles and is thankful for that, apparently his parents and
sister finally have understood that he likes simple stuff and that going to
fancy restaurants or having an unexpected trip to God knows where, it’s not
what makes him happy.
Finally the day is almost over, not that Atsushi hasn’t liked the day, but he
really wants to see if En-chan has texted him already. He goes to his room and
changes his clothes first, it’s ridiculous to think that he feels so exhausted
after that day, but he does. Maybe it’s not only today, yesterday was a pretty
tiring day so it’s normal to feel like that. He searches for his cellphone on
his backpack, it’s almost out of battery, quickly he looks for the charger and
after he is sure it’s not going to turn off he checks if he has any messages.
He can’t avoid the blush that is on his face once he realizes that En has
actually written him some messages through all the day.
“So this is the plan meet me 2morrow @ the staircase in front of Kurotama Bath
@ 10”
“Wear comfortable shoes”
“Comfortable clothes 2, well u always seem comfortable with ur clothes but just
in case”
“I invite u don’t take money”
“Hope u had a good day”
“Night”
Apparently, En has planned a lot and that’s why he has gone to sleep earlier
than ever Atsushi thinks. Well, it doesn’t matter, tomorrow they are going to
be together and enjoy their day, it doesn’t matter if it’s not October 5th, if
it is with the person he loves he can celebrate his birthday any day, he thinks
as he lies down on his bed. Sleep takes over him and it also happens sooner
than he has actually expected.
                            *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
The next day he wakes up a little startled, has he woken up on time? He checked
his alarm, it’s 8:30a.m. he still has time to get ready, but he feels weird
since he slept more than normal. At least, he knows he is fast in getting
ready, so he can actually even take some light breakfast before leaving.
“What? No school today?” his sister asks him.
“No sis, remember, the school needs some repairs, so today we also have a free
day, see you later,” Atsushi says, but his sister keeps talking.
“Where are you going now? Shouldn’t you stay studying?”
“I am going out with En-chan, I’ll study tomorrow,” the teen replies and tries
to take his leave.
“You know, I have always believed he’s a bad influence for you,” she says and
drinks a bit of his coffee, looking completely serious about the issue.
“He’s not, I’m leaving, tell to mother and father that I’ll be back before
dinner,” he really hopes to be back at that time, but he also wouldn’t mind to
get back later.
“Enjoy your day!”
He thinks his sister can be really contradicted, but he knows it’s because
sometimes she is overprotected. Atsushi starts walking, this morning is a bit
chillier than yesterday, but he can only think that he is going to have a very
special day with En-chan and that’s all that matters. It’s around 9:45a.m. when
he gets to the Kurotama Bath, there’s no sign of En, but that’s not weird,
punctuality has never been one of En’s qualities.
“Atsushi-senpai!” he hears Yumoto calling out for him, “Atsushi-senpai!”
“Good morning, Yumoto!” Atsushi greets him smiling.
“Happy birthday senpai! Well I know it was yesterday, but when I called you,
you didn’t answer,” Yumoto says while pouting, “Anyways, happy birthday! En-
chan-senpai asked me to give you this!”
Atsushi receives a box from Yumoto, curiosity takes the best of him and while
he opens the box he also speaks to the younger.
“Was En-chan here earlier?”
“No, he gave me that yesterday,” Yumoto replies, he has never been good at
lying so Atsushi is sure that that’s the truth.
“I see,” the bespectacled boy replies automatically and sees at the box’s
content.
There’s one of Atsushi’s favorite books, “The longest staircase to knowledge,”
but over the word “knowledge” there’s a paper that instead of “knowledge” has
the words “your heart.” When Atsushi takes it off, he can see that in the back
part there are some words written by En.
‘You know, we have met for so many years, and even if we spend almost every day
together, there are so many things I still wanna know about you, and that’s why
I consider your heart as the longest staircase, one full of mysteries, one full
of beautiful surprises, but one that is totally worth the effort, come to the
arcade now.’
Atsushi smiles and blushes when he reads the note, Yumoto looks at him with
curiosity, still he is too innocent to notice the recent changes to En and
Atsushi’s relationship.
“Thank you, Yumoto! I think I better keep going!”
“Eh? Where? Can I go? It looks like a treasure search! Did En-chan-senpai
organized a treasure search for you as a birthday gift?” the blond boy asks
with shining eyes.
“Kind of, but I am sorry Yumoto I have to go alone, but I promise you that we
will do something together!” Atsushi says before taking his leave.
He takes with him the box and keeps it closed to his chest. It is a nice thing
that all their favorite places to visit are closed one to the other, so he does
not have to walk a lot from the Kurotama Bath to the Arcade. Once Atsushi is in
front of that place, he searches again for En with no result, instead, someone
touches his back, which scares him a bit, but it’s not the person he was
expecting to see there.
“Whoa! You’re really nervous Kinugawa-senpai! Or is it the age affecting you
already?” the pink haired asks and laughs a bit.
“Oh, I’m sorry Ryuu, I was expecting to see…”
“Yufuin-senpai, yeah I can imagine you really want to see him,” the teasing
tone of Ryuu’s voice let Atsushi knows that Ryuu is aware of their new kind of
relationship.
“I… just… Did he…”
“You don’t need to tell me, both of you were pretty obvious in everything you
did, I’m actually glad that you two have decided to put your feelings on the
table already, by the way he asked me to give you this,” the second year says
while he gives a green bag tied with a blue ribbon, its shape is rectangular.
“Thank you, Ryuu.”
Atsushi takes a sit on a bench that is closed to where they are standing. He
pulls the ribbon and he finds another one of his books. The original tittle of
this one is “100 Unknown Mysteries,” in the modified version by En is “100 Days
of Mysteries.” Again another note was written in the back part of the paper
replacing the word.
‘I don’t know if they were exactly a 100 days, I just know that it took me a
really long while to get to talk to you and solve the biggest mystery, your eye
color. However, it’s been the first time that waiting was really worth the
price, I’ll say it again, I love you. Please hurry up, next place to go is our
favorite ice cream shop.’
Atsushi feels his heart beating faster, En is really putting a lot of effort
into this and he can’t be happier. Of course he needs to move from one place to
another, but that doesn’t matter. This is actually one of the sweetest things
that someone could have done for him.
“Guess you gotta keep moving, if you see Io, please tell him I’m waiting for
him here,” Ryuu says a smirk all over his face when he sees Atsushi’s in-love
face.
“Eh? Sure, I’ll tell him, thanks Ryuu,” the bespectacled boy says as he takes
his leave.
“And also, happy birthday senpai!” Ryuu screams once Atsushi has started
running, but still the blue haired teen catches the words, stops for a moment
and smiles at Ryuu.
Their favorite ice cream shop is also pretty closed, they usually go there
first and then they go to the arcade during weekends in which En-chan has
enough energy to move from one place another. When Atsushi is around the corner
he can notice Io is sitting in one of the benches outside the ice cream shop.
He can immediately think two things, it’s not the time yet to get to see En
face to face, and En really had a lot of planning on doing this.
“Hello Io, how are you?” Atsushi says to the second year boy who is too busy on
his tablet to notice that he has come.
“Good morning Kinugawa-senpai and happy belated birthday to you, I assume you
come for this,” Io says as he delivers another bag, this one is blue and the
ribbon is green.
“Yes, thank you, also Ryuu is waiting for you at the arcade” the bespectacled
boy replies and takes the bag, this one is a bit lighter, but he can
distinguish that is another book.
“I see, then I’ll go with him, have a nice day, I hope you two enjoy the rest
of the day,” Io replies and takes his stuff to go to the arcade, Atsushi nods
and his attention goes back to the package on his hands.
Once he opens it, he verifies that is a book, another one from his personal
collection, “The Last Piece,” curiously Atsushi remembers that he finished that
book at En’s place, probably he left it there. The tittle this time, according
to En’s version is “The Last Piece to your heart,” the extra words added with a
light blue paper and the same pattern is repeated.
‘The Last Piece was actually the scariest one, I can’t take out the image from
my mind when you jumped off to save the president and I didn’t know if you were
safe, I have to say a bit of myself die in that moment and came back to life
when I saw you again, even if it was scarier I have to say that thanks to that
moment I had enough courage to act, but I haven’t really talked, you know? Next
place is the mall where we spend our weekends when there’s nothing else to do.’
Well, that was unexpected, Atsushi has thought that all the points of this
treasure search would have been around these streets, not going downtown.
Still, it’s not like he is not having some fun, and getting to have a lot of
things to say to En once he can get to see him, so he stands up, but before he
starts walking, he asks for a bigger bag to the employee of the ice cream shop.
He is already carrying three books and it’s not easy to take them around like
that. Once he’s ready he tries to walk as fast as he can to the mall, thanks
heaven it’s a cold month and the morning is pretty fresh, with just a gentle
breeze and clouds covering the sun.
After fifteen minutes of walking he gets to the mall’s main entrance, over
there he can’t see any signs of En-chan. Atsushi stays there for a while
thinking, maybe he can go inside and check the places they usually visit when
they are there, but just when he was about to start going around with no
specific destination someone calls him.
“Kinugawa-san!” he turns around and sees Arima Ibushi right next to Gero Akoya,
“Apparently we almost miscalculate the time,” he says and laughs a bit looking
at Akoya.
“Don’t blame me, you thought I could get ready in ten minutes, that’s not
possible, but I did my best,” Akoya replies and puffs his cheeks.
“Anyways, first of all happy birthday Kinugawa-san,” at that phrase Akoya also
looks at Atsushi and smiles, “Yufuin-san asked me a favor yesterday, to give
you this,” Ibushi says and gives another box to Atsushi.
“He didn’t say anything to me, but I wanted to come along and wish you a happy
birthday, after all you really are a nice person,” the pink haired says.
“And also he threatens Yufuin-san with telling Kinshiro about your relationship
if he didn’t let him tag along, apparently Yufuin-san is afraid of that moment
so he accepted,” the tallest boy clarifies the real version and Akoya gives him
a gentle hit with his elbow.
“Anyways, hope you enjoy this day as well, see you Kinugawa-san,” Akoya
expresses to finish their encounter.
“I better follow him part of the deal is to buy him anything he wants, let me
know as soon as you two inform Kinshiro about your relationship to stop Akoya…”
Ibushi mentions giggling and goes after Akoya, “I think you’re getting to the
end of your quest, happy birthday and enjoy the day.”
“Thank you,” replies the bespectacled boy, still too shock of the interaction.
Every interaction that he has witnessed in some way, first En-chan getting to
talk to even Arima to get him into this “mission,” Arima and Akoya’s way of
talking to each other and how they look at each other. However, the main point
of all that, it’s that now Atsushi is thinking about a future conversation he
will need to have; talking to Kinshiro about his relationship with En-chan. He
takes a deep breath, today is not the time to think about that and he will even
talk to En to know how they should do that. Atsushi sighs to let go of his
recent stress and relax, he opens the box, again another book, also from his
personal collection.
“Under clear Skies our Love…” he also remembers that book, he also finished it
at En’s place; during those days he knows he spent most of his reading time
with books about romantic plots and characters who accomplish their happy
endings after a lot of obstacles. In fact, Atsushi blushes when he remembers
that more than once he thought about himself getting that happy ending right to
En’ side. This time the tittle is not modified, but there’s one rose between
some pages.
Atsushi immediately opens the book in those pages, the text that he sees is
marked makes his eyes teary; the page goes like this:
‘I have been waiting a long time to let my heart feel, I have waiting so long
that sometimes I am scared of telling you what I do feel, but I have come to
realize that in this way I am just punishing even further myself. Therefore… I
ask to myself what can be more dangerous than shutting your heart and not
letting it be?
My feels must be spoken, my heart needs to show you that is alive. That is the
reason why I shall beg to you to let me love you, that is the reason why I
shall beg you to listen to me.
Please allow me to love you.
I, humbly, ask you to allow me to protect you, I ask you to let me stay by your
side, to support you, to allow me to share with you each dawn’s morning, to
look with you at the beauty of each sunset.
I shall beg you to let me see the countless stars with you every night, to
demonstrate through them my love to you, to show you that my love for you is
limitless.
Under clear skies I shall beg you to please accept my love.’
Atsushi let some tears fall, he cannot believe En-chan actually chose his favor
passage from this book. He cleans his tears and takes a deep breath, and when
he is about to put the book into the bag with the others, he sees a tiny paper
that falls from the book’s pages.
‘Meet me at Binan High’s garden.’
Atsushi smiles, he thinks there are some other places that would have to be
visited if this route is representing their most frequent places, but mainly
because it’s quite ironic to finish at the school in a free day.
Still, Atsushi gets on his feet again and starts walking. He feels so many
emotions going on and he cannot avoid the smiles or the tears that get to
escape every once in a while. Honestly, Atsushi would have never imagined that
En-chan could do something like this. He walks slowly, he knows En does not
have any hurries.
Once he gets to the main entrance of the school, he feels his legs getting
weaker, his stomach feels as if there were thousands of butterflies in there,
and he knows that his hands are shaking. He breaths in and out and start
walking towards the school garden, apparently people who are working there are
way too busy to notice that someone else is getting there, and Atsushi thinks
that’s actually wonderful for him and En-chan.
When he is reaching the garden, he can perceive a very familiar smell, and his
stomach rumbles a bit. Finally, when he turns around the corner he can see a
blanket on the ground, a small basket, and some dishes and glasses. Everything
is closed to one of the biggest garden’s trees and on it there’s a small note
attached with a tape.
‘Please, answer the question out loud: Do you want to be my boyfriend?’
The boy can’t help but chuckle a bit and then clean the few tears that fall
from his eyes.
“Yes, of course En-chan!” Atsushi replies quickly and giggles out of
nervousness.
Suddenly he is being wrapped by two arms around his waist, and a hot breath
makes his skin shivers. He turns around just to see En’s face.
“I didn’t have the courage to ask you the question, so I wrote it,” that’s the
first thing En-chan says to Atsushi and put both of their foreheads together.
The blue haired boy perfectly understands him, since he knows that he talks
that fast because otherwise his voice would have failed him. They stay like
that for a moment, letting each other holding themselves in that cute tender
atmosphere. Maybe Atsushi has thought a lot about everything he wanted to say
to En, but sometimes silence is actually more rewarding than a whole speech.
Especially when they are this closed, when they know that they belong to each
other’s little world.
“What happened to my lazy boy that was so active?” Atsushi suddenly breaks the
silence with a teasing tone.
“That boy is right in front of you… I didn’t do that much, you were the one
walking,” En replies leaning on Atsushi’s shoulder.
“Well, maybe not today, but yesterday you did a lot,” the blue haired teen
insists, he is really curious about how En did it.
“Good ideas are always a secret, so I’m not gonna tell you, what I will say is
that it’s nice that you always leave your books at my place, I always read them
when I’m bored, you’re a really interesting person,” the taller boy says and
now it looks like they are slowly dancing at the wind’s rhythm.
“Eh? Did I leave all of those books at your place?” Atsushi asks a bit
embarrassed, but without leaving En’ side.
“There were more, but those were actually really fitting for what I wanted to
say, you know… I love you and I want you to be my boyfriend and I will stay by
your side as long as you want me to be,” En says kissing Atsushi’s cheek.
“Even if I ask you to be forever by my side?” Atsushi asks the red tone
increasing on his cheeks.
“Forever sounds perfect to me,” the dirty blond replies and now kisses the teen
on his lips.
They share a tender and sweet kiss, when they pull apart both sighs and look at
each other in the eyes.
“Who would say that falling in love with your best friend would be the greatest
thing to happen in life?” En says, smiling and showing such a loving expression
that Atsushi’s heart skips a beat, “Come, I bring some food from the greatest
place ever, CoCoKaRa Curry!” En mentions to Atsushi and takes his boyfriend’s
hand to guide him to take a sit on the blue blanket that is on the ground.
“Best place ever indeed,” Atsushi comments as the memories from their first
outings to that place come to his mind.
The rest of the afternoon goes as they love it, with nonsense conversation, by
each other’s side, but now, knowing that their bond is stronger and that they
will remain together forever as they just said. There’s only one thing going on
Atsushi’s mind, “Best birthday ever.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
***** A Friend is a Star *****
Chapter Summary
     They are friends again and Atsushi wants to do something special to
     celebrate it,
     "Would you go to look at the stars with me?
     One simple question that was really hard to say,
Chapter Notes
     Kinshiro and Atsushi are hard to write together, that's all I'm gonna
     say about this x_x
See the end of the chapter for more notes
                              A Friend is a Star
Atsushi is really nervous, he thinks it’s too soon to ask to his friend to do
this, but he really wants to go and En-chan has already told him that it’s a
good idea. So, even if he feels this weird sensation on his stomach and his
head about to explode, he takes a deep breath and knocks on the Student
Council’s door. Now he just hopes that Kinshiro is alone at this moment.
“Come in,” he listens to Kinshiro’s voice, lucky him it seems that his friend
is alone.
The bespectacled boy turns the door’s nob and gets into the Student Council’s
room, he notices that Kinshiro is writing and so he does not realized of who
has just come in. It is the first time that Atsushi gets in with a more relax
behavior, or at least he tries to convince himself that he feels that way, so
he takes the opportunity to take a look around. Definitely, this room resembles
a lot of Kinshiro’s personality, but it has as well a lot of the other two
members of the Student Council. The wall’s color and the furniture around is
what Kinshiro will love to have, something simple but showing the delicate
essence of a nice fancy place. Atsushi chuckles, it’s so good to see that his
friend has kept some of his most outstanding traits during all this time.
“At-chan!” Kinshiro’ surprise voice gets him back on Earth and out of his
thoughts he can see a tiny blush on his friend’s face.
“Hi, did I interrupt you?” the blue haired teen asks, a polite and shy smile
showing on his face.
“Not at all, please take a sit,” the president tries to act as if he is not
feeling anxious, but honestly inside he is a complete mess of overwhelming
emotions.
Even if the conversation has started pretty fluently, it stops for a moment, it
is weird for them, there are moment in which both of them can perfectly talk as
two good friends who never stop speaking to each other, and then, there are
these kind of time. Those times in which neither of them know what to say or
how to proceed. What is the right word, phrase or gesture to continue? No one
wants to offend the other and no one wants to push the other too fast. Atsushi
is screaming internally, he is forcing himself to speak up and keep his promise
of trying his best to express his thoughts.
He knows he has to try; and he does not want to disappoint En, so he takes a
breath and speaks.
“Hey, Kin-chan, can I ask you something as a special birthday gift?”
Atsushi finally says it, he can’t believe he did it, but looking at Kinshiro’s
face he is quite sure he has said the words. The white haired teen looks as a
deer who has been struck by a car. Suddenly, Atsushi feels his face hotter and
he assumes Kinshiro has the same problem since he politely asks Atsushi for a
moment and goes to open the window. Slowly, the president of Binan High returns
to his seat and looks back at his friend.
“I am sorry, you said a special birthday gift, right?” Kinshiro repeats
Atsushi’s words, trying to completely understand the meaning of the question.
“Yes… but… if you do not want it is not necessary, I mean I know I am being
selfish since you already invite me to have dinner with you in two weeks and I
just well… I mean… well” the blue haired teen starts mumbling nonsense and
fidgeting with his hands.
“I think it’s fair enough, your birthday was two days ago, it’s better now than
in two weeks. What is the gift that you want?” Kinshiro shyly reasons and asks,
he is not looking at Atsushi, he is actually looking to the window, and he is
also blushing and fidgeting with his hands.
Nonetheless, the simple fact that Kinshiro has asked him that, makes Atsushi
confident enough. He even flashes a huge bright smiles and his eyes are shining
full of happiness. When he is finally able to overcome his own astonishment and
reacts to his friend’s answer, he gets to continue.
“Well… I really want… but only if you want of course,” even if he wants to be
more straightforward he keeps stumbling on his own words.
“At-chan, it’s alright you can tell me what you want,” Kinshiro reassures him
and smiles at him.
Once he is being given a little bit more of trust he lets out a sighs and
proceeds.
“Will you go to look at the stars with me tonight?”
The questions leaves Atsushi’s lips faster than expected as well as the way
Kinshiro’s face changes. Both stare at the other and a very expected silence
fill the room. Atsushi could swear that time has stopped, or that maybe he has
stopped time with his question or that he just killed Kinshiro and the other’s
last action was to stare at him for an eternity. Finally, Kinshiro blinks, and
seems to have a hold or some kind on control on his blushing and body again.
“Look at the stars? Tonight?” he asks, and Atsushi can feel that the white
haired teen is mentally curing himself for repeating the words after such a
long time.
Or was it just a matter of seconds that felt like an eternity? Well, it’s not
the time to think about that.
“Yes!” the bespectacled boy quickly replies and looks expectantly for the final
answer.
Kinshiro’ smile goes a bit wider, “Yes, I’ll gladly go with you to look at the
stars,” the white haired teen replies.
“Really? I mean, thank you, it means a lot to me! I’ll pass by your house to go
together… do you think 7:00p.m is ok?”
“It’s the perfect time, tell me if you want me to take something,” Kinshiro
offers, having as well more confidence in the issue.
“I’ll text you if I think about something!” the bespectacled boy replies
happily and stands up, “Well, the next period is about to start I better go, I
don’t want to be late to class,” he adds and respectfully leaves the room.
Atsushi leaves a pretty happy Kinshiro in the Student Council’s room, the white
haired teen feels so much contentment and excitement. After so many years, they
are going back to looks at the stars, curiosity takes over Kinshiro and so he
checks to see where would be the best location to see the stars that night.
“Interesting,” he mutters and puts his phone back into his pocket, after all,
he also needs to get going to his own classes.
On the other hand, Atsushi goes first to the clubroom, he finds En taking a
nap, thanks heaven he has the idea of checking that place before going to the
actual classroom. He walks in and shakes En a bit just to wake him up.
“I assume it worked since you have that cute smile on your face,” En says when
he looks at Atsushi.
“He said yes, we’re gonna see the stars tonight together!”
The happiness in Atsushi’s face is evident, it’s one of the most beautiful
expression someone can be able to see. The brightness in his eyes, the cheerful
smile and that sweet aura of innocent excitement he has is incomparable, En
thinks that not even an angel can looks as beautiful as Atsushi does in this
moment. Together they walk to their classroom, after all it’s the last period
of the day and that makes easier to go to classes with a renew motivation for
the events that are going to happen that night.
                               *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
That day Atsushi does not go to the Kurotama’s Bath, he wants to get ready for
his outing with Kinshiro. He thinks about the old times and giggles to himself,
it’s been a long while since the last day when he went to see the stars with
his dear friend. Well, time to stop thinking about the past, that’s the
decision he has come to make, that moment of their lives is a nice memory, but
he can’t be stuck in wishing and thinking about that time anymore. Now, they
are almost adults and they have solved a conflict that took years of their
lives.
He gets ready, picking up the warmest coat and a scarf, he has read that today
is going to be really cold, so he better takes the preventions for the case and
even packs a blanket. Quickly, Atsushi goes to the kitchen and he picks up some
random stuff to eat with Kinshiro, before he can keep rummaging through his
kitchen cabinets, he gets a text from his old friend, ‘I’m getting something
hot to drink,’ Atsushi smiles, his friend is still as prudent as ever. He types
a quick reply, ‘Thank you, I leave in 5 minutes to get you,’ he places his
phone on one of his pockets and goes for his backpack.
However, before he leaves his house he texts one last message, ‘Leaving now,
I’ll call you when I come back,’ he waits for a reply and in less than a minute
he gets it; ‘Have fun, try to tell him.’
Although he knows it is not really polite to leave En without an answer he does
not reply. In reality, he is not planning on saying to his best friend that
today. It would not be the best decision, he thinks and force himself to ignore
En’s last message, he will talk later with him that it was just not the best
time.
The bespectacled boy walks towards Kinshiro’s place, it’s funny; it’s been so
many years, but he can still remember everything about this path. The laughs
they shared, the silly conversations they had as kids, and those competitions
to see who could get first to the white haired boy’s mansion. Most of the times
Kinshiro won, Atsushi was never really good at sports, but Kinshiro has always
been lucky in being good at almost everything. Atsushi can’t help, but having a
tiny smile on his face that is mixed up with some nostalgia; he knows he has
said he shouldn’t be thinking about the past. Nonetheless, memories are
overflowing now and it’s the first time that those memories are not painful.
During all those years there was always some kind of uncertainty, he wanted to
know so badly what he did wrong to make his friend drift apart from him, he
wanted to know how to make up for any damaged he has done. But, he didn’t know
how to approach the other, he simply didn’t have an idea on how to talk with
the one he called his best friend at that moment.
He reaches Kinshiro’s place, his hand is a bit hesitant when he needs to push
the button for the doorbell, but his memories hunt him once more for that day.
He won’t leave that his cowardice wins the battle again. He rings the doorbell
and takes a deep breath, so far so good, he thinks to himself and smiles again.
One of Kinshiro’s butlers comes to receive him and asks him to go inside with
him. Atsushi nods and follows him. The house is practically as he reminds it,
no big changes to be honest, he thinks and he knows they are getting to
Kinshiro’s room.
The butler knocks on the door and Kinshiro’s voice can be heard allowing them
to come in; the old man opens the door for Atsushi who gets in and thanks the
butler for his help. Once in the room, he can perceive some changes, but maybe
they reflect how Kinshiro’s personality changed after they stopped talking,
that’s a painful thought thou since the room is plain and with just the minimum
amount of decoration. Nonetheless, Atsushi quickly remembers that even as a
kid, Kinshiro did not like to have his room stuffed with a lot of things.
“I am sorry, I was looking for something that I wanted to give you,” Kinshiro
states, but he keeps looking for something inside a box.
“Eh? But Kin-chan, you really don’t have to! Seriously for me is more than
enough that you go today with me!!!” the blue haired teen quickly exclaims and
moves his hands in a desperate manner trying to stop the other’s actions.
“Found it,” the teen exclaims and stands up, he was rummaging through some
boxes that were all over his room floor.
 “During that year…” Kinshiro starts explaining and stops himself thinking that
it’s not the best way to start, but it’s the only manner to do it, so he keeps
going, “during that year, I remembered you said you wanted a special edition
for that game we used to play, ‘Emerald Hunting,’ remember?.”
“Kin-chan…” Atsushi whispers, he thinks he knows where this is going and he is
not sure that he can handle what he thinks is about to happen.
“I… I looked for it at that time, I was too desperate to find it and I have my
parents looking for it… and I got it,” Kinshiro says showing the little box
that is wrapped in a green paper, “I got it that year… but I couldn’t say
‘happy birthday’ to you at that moment.”
The bespectacled boy can notices how Kinshiro’s voice breaks a bit in that last
sentence, he knows this means more than anything to both of them since his
hands also feel shaky. Atsushi carefully reaches for the box and takes it into
his hands, he unwraps the paper and he can see it; that old game that he wished
for so much when he was still a kid.
“I am deeply sorry I could not give it to you on time,” the white haired teen
adds and looks away.
“It’s the perfect time,” Atsushi’s words take by surprise the smaller teen, his
green eyes shine excitedly when he hears that, “It’s the perfect time Kin-chan,
I really appreciate it, thank you.”
Atsushi lets himself being move by his own emotions getting to wrap his arms
around Kinshiro and giving him a gentle hug and muttering again with a soft
voice ‘thank you’. Being honest, Atsushi has been waiting for the perfect
moment to do this since the day they renewed their friendship and so he
couldn’t be happier at the time, this without a doubt has been the best
birthday week since he can remember. However, before the two of them get to be
an emotional disaster, Atsushi pulls off and carefully cleans his own tears, he
really gets to be involve in a moment, especially in something he waited for so
long.
“Well, I think it’s time to go, don’t you think?” he asks to the white haired
teen and the boy eagerly nods.
“Would you let me guide you to the place in which we can have the best view?”
“Eh? Aren’t we going to the same place?” Atsushi asks surprised.
“I think it’s better to have a brighter place for this new start,” Kinshiro
replies and with just that Atsushi immediately nods.
They both leave the Kusatsu residence and start walking while carrying the
stuff they need to see the stars. Atsushi thinks he has a vaguely idea of where
they are going since the path it’s pretty familiar, but he prefers not to spoil
the surprise. Their conversation is as interesting as ever, talking about
books, talking about important events, it’s like some kind of magic that this
old ritual between friends is allowing them to talk with no problems. Once that
they are closed to their destination, Atsushi giggles, it’s kind of ironic, but
it’s also the perfect place to mark this new beginning.
Binan High.
“I hope you are not disappointed of the place,” Kinshiro shyly says and looks
at Atsushi from the corner of his eye.
“I’m not, but… is it ok that Binan High’s president gets in to the school at
non-school hours?” the bespectacled boy says in a teasing way.
“No… if no one gets to know.”
“Then, let it be our tiny little secret,” Atsushi says and offers his pinkie to
Kinshiro.
The smaller teen blushes, he thinks this is so childish, but he also feels so
tempted that he immediately links his pinkie with Atsushi’s. They laugh at it,
and as soon as the laughs are over they go into the school’s property. Being
Binan’s president, Kinshiro has a special set of keys, so he can open any door
at the school’s facilities and that’s how they get to reach the upper level of
the school.
Once they are there, they walk together towards one of the roofs, the roof in
which Atsushi had the chance to save Kinshiro during that day, and which has
been already fixed. It’s actually kind of the perfect “ceremony” for this new
beginning, practicing an old tradition while being at the place that made them
realize of the importance and sincere feelings they have for each other.
“You know Kin-chan, I’m really happy that we got to talk to each other again…
I’m gonna try my best and tell you everything to avoid misunderstandings,”
Atsushi suddenly says, his voice has a genuine tone, but also shows the
nostalgia he felt during all those years.
“I’ll do the same, I really miss you and I know my behavior was not the most
proper, At-chan… you are my dearest friend,” the words come out of Kinshiro’s
mouth and a shaky breath follows them, “I hope you can forgive me,” he adds and
pushes his knees towards his chest.
Atsushi looks surprised at Kinshiro, he thought that everything was already
forgiven, but he should have known better. Kinshiro is a person whose strict
conduct makes him carry the weight of his action for a longer time, even if the
problem has already been solve. That’s why Atsushi takes action, so his friend
does not get to be stuck in that point any longer, the blue haired teen links
his arm with Kinshiro’s and directs his look towards the sky, being able to see
just a bit of Kinshiro’s blushed face.
“I used to see the stars every night during all those years,” the bespectacled
boy says and he feels as Kinshiro’s hold get stronger, “I use to look at them
because it made me think of you, of our childhood and I knew that maybe even if
it wasn’t soon, I was sure we were going to be friends again, because you are
one of the brightest stars in my life,” Atsushi mentions and looks at Kinshiro.
“One of the brightest?” the white haired teen repeats looking at the stars,
Atsushi can see a small smile forming on his friend’s lip.
“Yeah, so it didn’t matter how dark the sky was because I was always able to
think in all my friends, to think in all those stars that I cherish and love,
and you were, you are, and you will be one of those.”
Atsushi looks right to Kinshiro’s eyes, the white haired teen has teary eyes
and his lips are trembling a little, but instead of crying, he decides to
smile.
“You are also a star for me, At-chan!” Kinshiro replies and leans a bit his
head on Atsushi’s arm.
Maybe it is going to be hard to leave everything behind, but they honestly care
and love each other as two good friends, for a moment each one of them could
see each other as the small boys that used to go out in the middle of the
summer to see as many stars as possible and to wish upon a star. That day they
have marked a new promise, the promise to shine for each other and cherish
their friendship more than ever after that second opportunity.
“Thank you for the gift.”
Atsushi says when they are saying good bye to each other, and even if Kinshiro
knows that Atsushi values the game he gave him, he knows that the blue haired
teen is talking about the moment they shared that night looking at the stars.
“Thank you too, At-chan, good night!”
There’s a warm feeling in both hearts, and there’s the feeling of a special
never ending friendship.

Chapter End Notes
     I hope I had caught in a nice way their friendship....
***** Like Spinach *****
Chapter Summary
     Things didn't turn out to be really easy with Atsushi's family, and
     sometimes it takes a weird look at the situation to take meassures
     and find a solution, it's good to know that Ryuu can provide it.
Chapter Notes
     Again, it's weird, I know, but the idea came to me after a
     conversation during a meeting at my workplace.
                                 Like Spinach
                                        
It couldn’t be worst, he knows that. The day has not been good at all, he’s
worried, frustrated, and he knows he is about to get sick. Atsushi would have
never imagined such a negative reaction from his parents and sister when
telling them about his relationship with En-chan. He has been trying to deny
En’s words, but he knows pretty well they are true, his sister practically
kicked En out of the house, and to make things worse, at least with En, he told
him not to be so dramatic.
Atsushi sighs, he knows that was the worst thing to say in that moment. En
simply left and told him that they would talk later. After that, he couldn’t
stay at his own home and left to walk around the city. What a nightmare, two
days ago he had the most precious and perfect moment in his life, and now here
he is, in the middle of a city, going nowhere, and it is actually about to
rain.
Yes, things couldn’t get much worse.
“Senpai!” or maybe they can.
He does not want to be rude, but having to deal with someone as energetic as
Ryuu, who is also passionate about relationships, is not the best for him in
this moment. Even though he wants to ignore him and keep walking, he turns
around.
“Hi, Ryuu,” he knows he didn’t even try to sound happy, his voice shows all the
tempest that goes inside his mind.
“Woah… what happened senpai?” Ryuu asks, and he even touches Atsushi’s shoulder
in a way to show him some empathy.
“It’s nothing… seriously,” the blue haired teen replies, but his eyes are
screaming for help.
“Wanna get something to drink and maybe we can talk, I don’t know, but even if
you say nothing happened, it looks like the whole world has crashed on you, and
that’s not normal for someone who has just started going out with the person
that he loves.”
Ryuu’s words make some kind of effect on Atsushi, since the boy simply nods
desperately before letting the tears fall. Ryuu wraps an arm around Atsushi’s
neck and leads him to one of his favorite cafeterias downtown. Once they have
ordered and they have their coffees, they simply stare around.
“Ok,” Ryuu says first and tries to know how to start the conversation, “I know
a while ago it seemed like I knew exactly how to help you and what I was doing,
but I don’t, so do you want to talk about it?”
Atsushi looks incredulous at Ryuu, maybe he was also wrong in trusting someone
younger… well he shouldn’t think like that, sometimes younger people are pretty
wise. He sighs again, he cannot even remember how many times he has sighed
during those two hours. The older teen takes a deep breath and talks about that
morning.
He tells to Ryuu how they, he and En, have planned everything to first talk to
En parents right after the day En asked him to be his boyfriend, which went
pretty well. En’s parents were so happy with the news, Atsushi can’t help but
sigh again at the memory of that moment, “His mother even cried because she
said that she thought she would die waiting for us to become a couple,” he
comments to Ryuu.
“Well, tell her she was not the only one, I made a bet with Io and I thought I
was going to lose,” Ryuu replies at that.
“What?”
“Well, I said you two were going to be a couple before winter break and Io said
until you two would go to college, at the end I won, thanks for that,” he says
and winks.
Atsushi does not know if he should stand up and leave at that moment or simply
laugh, he chooses the second option. After all, it is funny to think that
everybody, except for his own family, was waiting for this. He then keeps on
going with the story, and tells to Ryuu that since they talked to En’s parents
it was obvious that they needed to talk to his own parents and his sister.
“En-chan was even wearing fancy clothes to make a better impression today,
but…”
“But?”
“As soon as we told them my parents asked him to leave, my sister grabbed En-
chan by his arm and took him out of the house,” Atsushi finally says and he
feels as his stomach flips all over again, “I had to go after them to talk to
En-chan…but…”
“But?” Ryuu says again grabbing the table’s edge and trying to get as closed as
possible to Atsushi.
“When he told me ‘I’ve never been kicked out of a place before, this is a whole
new experience,’ I told him that he didn’t have to be so dramatic, that no one
has kicked him out and then he told me he would leave and that he would call me
later,” the explanation is over and although Atsushi thought he would feel
better after telling the whole issue, it does not work like that.
Ryuu is looking at him with his mouth wide opened, probably Ryuu is also
thinking what he is thinking in that moment; he is the worst boyfriend ever.
Why wasn’t possible to have an understanding family? It’s not like he has been
promised to someone’s daughter, or like he’s an only child who has ruined all
the family’s reputation. There’s his sister and she has always been brilliant…
well until the moment she decided to kick En out of their home.
Again, he sighs, well it seems like at least sighing it’s something that he can
still do perfectly, because thinking, talking, or solving problems are out of
his reach right now.
“Probably Yufuin-senpai is sleeping right now,” that’s the first comment Ryuu
gives after all what he has explained, “He will call you as soon as he also
calms down and he has thought about something nice to tell you.”
“What?”
“Yeah, Yufuin-sepai’s personality as a boyfriend must be ‘I gotta calm down
first to make you feel better then,’ so he must be sleeping,” the pink haired
adds as if that could explain everything.
“Is that even a personality? And well maybe he is sleeping, but I don’t think
he can have an idea on how to deal with my family after sleeping…” he quiets
himself immediately, he knows he should not leave all this problem on En.
“Because you are the one who has to deal with your own family,” Ryuu says
snapping Atsushi out, “Senpai, if you want this, you have to be clear with your
family, you can’t let them be a spinach in your life!”
Ryuu’s words were having a kind of impact on Atsushi until he mentioned the
word spinach.
“A spinach?” Atsushi repeats while frowning.
“Yeah, I just learnt those things grow fast, so if you let your family handle
this and making you feel bad about your relationship you’re just gonna let them
grow as a spinach that will suffocate you!” Ryuu waves his hands and speaks
louder.
The bespectacled boy gets a bit embarrassed because they are catching
everybody’s attention, so he tries to calm Ryuu down. Once he thinks the second
year won’t keep making so much noise he sighs out in relief.
“So my family is a spinach…” Atsushi murmurs, he feels guilty about that
thought, but honestly he loves En-chan and it’s not like En-chan has to fight
this alone.
“Well, it sounds kind of cruel, and I know they’re your family and all, but
really senpai, you gotta tell them, or don’t you love Yufuin-senpai?”
The question makes him blush so hard he thinks he can go and lighten up a whole
town, Ryuu is really an opened person when talking about relationships. Atsushi
breathes in and out to calm down and try to make his blush go away.
“I do love him,” he whispers softly and looking away.
“Well, now I know why you family can handle you so easy, you don’t seem so
convince,” the pink haired retorts and licks the cherry that was on top of his
coffee a while ago.
The blue haired teen looks painfully hurt with the truth, but he won’t let
anyone doubt about how much he loves En-chan, not again.
“I DO LOVE HIM!” Atsushi screams out loud, the whole cafeteria getting silence
after that.
Even Ryuu looks too shocked with Atsushi’s reaction, and the poor blue haired
teen madly blushes after that. The second year starts giggling and little by
little the other conversations start taking place again.
“There you go senpai! Now finish your coffee and go to cut some spinach out of
your life!”
Atsushi actually wants to slap Ryuu’s face for his methods to make him get some
confidence, but he also knows that his method has been just perfect. The
bespectacled boy nods, not happy or relaxed, but at least with the power to go
and make himself clear.
They drink their coffee and leave the place. It’s almost getting dark when
Atsushi is about to reach his home when he sees a familiar silhouette waiting
around the corner.
“Hi…” En says, he looks sad and that breaks a bit of Atsushi’s heart.
“Hi… I’m sorry… about my family,” Atsushi comments and reaches for En’s hand
which is cold, En must have been waiting for him for a long time over there.
“I can talk to them, I can tell them all my good things which are really few,
but I also can be very honest about my defects, which I know they are a lot
and…”
“It’s not necessary, this is a spinach I have to cut it out by myself.”
The answer confuses En, actually it makes him feel totally lost.
“What?”
“Just don’t worry, this is something I have to do, but… there’s actually a
spinach that we might have to deal with together…” Atsushi reasons, now that
he’s getting brave enough he knows he has to say this to Kinshiro too.
“I’m sorry, I know we have several jokes about you and the spinaches, but I’m
lost here,” En admits, his face showing complete confusion towards the
conversation.
“I’ll explain you later, for now I’m gonna talk to my parents and sister and
I’ll call you later,” Atsushi says and kisses En on the cheek.
The taller boy is still confused, but at least he is less worried now that he
has seen Atsushi’s happy expression.
That day Atsushi talk to his parents, that same day he could see their faces
changing from disappointment to an unexpected understanding. Unfortunately,
they couldn’t show the same level of happiness that En’s parents had shown, but
at least they promise that they will give a chance to prove how good En is, at
least his parents will, his sister couldn’t show too much of a change, but he
knows it might be also some kind of unexpected jealously as an older sister.
Once in his room, Atsushi lies down on his bed, it has been a really stressful
day, but the outcome can be seen as positive. He takes out his cellphone, the
first message goes to Ryuu, “Thank you,” and then he receives a quick reply
with an emoticon of a happy face and the thumbs up. He smiles at it and goes to
send the second message to En.
“It may take longer for them to accept everything, but I will make them see the
good things on you, I’m sorry for everything, I’ll keep fighting.”
Surprisingly, En texts back really fast.
“I love you, no need to apologize <3”
 What a miracle?! En-chan typing more than three words and using punctuation,
Atsushi giggles, if his family could only see this kind of things they will
understand everything sooner. However, he can’t keep thinking like that, he has
to believe that they can change, and even if they don’t change their mind, he
has decided that he prefers to deal with the spinach, cutting or pulling it
off, than letting go of En-chan. He places his cellphone away and smiles, even
if it was a weird comparison, at least it made him got the courage to talk.
“Spinach,” Atsushi whispers smiling and letting himself fall into sleep.
 
 
***** Just What *****
Chapter Summary
     Atsushi and En-chan have started dating and they want their
     relationship to be approved by everyone, including obviously
     Kinshiro.
Chapter Notes
     This was the hardest fic to finish for the Cerulean Week... Jesus....
     God.... Holy Mary.... I mean I started it on Tuesday and I finish it
     on Friday at 2am I guess... it was the hardest one to complete and
     it's one of the simplest.... just me and my great mind!
                                   Just What
 
He does not like to accept it, he does not like to believe that now they have
to hang out together. However, this is part of the “deal,” or maybe he should
see it as part of the renew friendship that he shares with Atsushi. It has been
a couple of days since they reconciled and all of them will walk together to
the school and then back again to home.
However, Kinshiro can’t still feel comfortable with a certain someone presence
every time he talks to Atsushi. He cannot stand whenever he interferes in a
conversation, especially because of their nonsense comments that always
interfere in a very interesting talk.
Today is one of those days in which he regrets this part of his second chance,
they are at Yufuin’s place, for some reason Atsushi practically begs him to
come over and spend an afternoon at En’s house. When they get to the place,
Kinshiro can’t avoid the fact of feeling distress, it’s a very humble house,
but humbleness does not mean that has to be disorganized. He tries to convince
his mind to ignore that detail, but every single thing that comes one after the
other just makes him feel even more distress.
The garden had some flowers, but those poor blue flowers could look better if
someone would take care of them. Then, the door, En does not even takes his
keys out, he just pushes the door and gets inside, Atsushi follows him and
gives an apologetically look at Kinshiro, probably asking him to hold his
comments. After that, once they reach the living room there are cushions and
blankets around the floor. Kinshiro’s mind just goes wild, asking to himself if
this house could be seriously taken care by adults.
“Mom?” En calls out, but there’s no reply, “Guess she’s already off, I’m gonna
take a look at the kitchen to see if she left something ready,” he informs and
leaves the living room.
“Kin-chan… I know this is too much for you, but…”
“I won’t say a thing, I promise,” Kinshiro replies, he honestly will hold his
comments, but he is sure about calling Ibushi to complain once he gets home.
They take a sit on different couches, Atsushi being so used at the place he
sits without a problem, but Kinshiro examines the whole space and being sure
that is a safe place, he takes a sit. The blue haired boy tries to find a way
to open up a conversation, noticing that En is taking a long time to come back,
but he actually seems to be very nervous. Kinshiro is about to talk, at least
about their upcoming tests, but En is finally back and carrying a tray, Atsushi
stands up to take the teapot since he is afraid that En can drop it at any
moment.
“I don’t usually make tea, but I hope it’s ok, my parents mainly drink coffee
and I drink sodas,” En says and puts the tray on the little table that’s in the
middle of the couches.
“You made tea,” Kinshiro says, his voice trying to hide the irony and surprise,
but En simply nods.
“En is actually pretty good at the kitchen, it’s just that he needs motivation
to do something,” Atsushi adds and smiles while giving a cup of tea to
Kinshiro.
“Motivated or forced,” En smirks while saying those words, “Anyway sorry for
the wait, mom had to leave earlier according to her note, so I had to make
this.”
Kinshiro’s eyes widened, he would have never believed that the laziest boy in
all the school could do something, especially something that looks edible and
good. They all eat together, drinking tea or soda in En’s case; however
Kinshiro is reaching his limits.
Why is the reason that he was asked to be here? He must know that right now, he
does not want to lose his composure, but if he does not have a reason to be
here, he’s sure that that is going to happen.
Atsushi can notice his childhood friend getting impatient, since he’s now
crossing his legs and arms. Surely, the pressure and the intrigue is consuming
Kinshiro right now.
“I guess you’re curious about why we asked you to come over here,” Atsushi says
and his voice crack a bit, he has completely showed off his nervousness by now.
“I’m going to the kitchen to get another soda,” En announces and Atsushi’s
desperation grows even more.
“Atsushi, would you kindly explain what is going on?” Kinshiro demands, his
tone of voice trying to show calmness.
“Ah well… listen… ah…remember last week was my birthday?”
“Of course, we are going to celebrate it tomorrow at that restaurant I
mentioned you since they didn’t have availability during your birthday,”
Kinshiro replies and smiles, “I am really pleased to celebrate your birthday
again,” he adds and takes a sip to his tea.
“Me too, I hope we can do something for yours next year”
“Atsushi…” En’s voice catches both teen’s attention.
The blue haired teen knows what En is meaning and he clears his throat, to be
honest it was not so hard to tell his parents about this. Well maybe it was
since his parents didn’t show as much happiness as En’s parents. However,
Kinshiro is a case totally different, especially because they are just starting
to be friends again and their background is a bit complicated at the moment.
“Well, on my birthday I went out with En and well… ah…” the teen keeps
hesitating.
“I asked him to be my boyfriend; he said yes despite the fact that I didn’t
have anything romantic prepare,” En abruptly interrupts, but being honest he is
tired of waiting and he knows it’s better to go straight to the point.
 There’s an uncomfortable silence, really uncomfortable for Atsushi who is
blushing and nervously fidgeting with his fingers. The poor bespectacled boy
would have never imagined that the truth would be reveal like this to his
childhood friend. Especially since he is still afraid about his reaction and he
is feeling that his fear is completely valid when he looks at Kinshiro. The
silver haired boy has a blanked expression, he moves his eyes from En to
Atsushi, repeating his motion and being speechless.
“I…I need to leave, I see you both tomorrow at school,” Kinshiro says and
stands up, not waiting for someone to guide him and stomping his way out of the
house.
“I think it went better than expected, at least he couldn’t kick me off the
house,” En comments and Atsushi sighs.
“My parents didn’t kick you off En-chan,” Atsushi repeats once more this
statement, but he knows that he’s lying a bit to En and to himself.
“Well your sister did… maybe not kicking, but saying ‘would you mind leaving
right now, we need to discuss some important stuff as a family’”
Atsushi lower his head, he knows that was not very nice from his sister, but he
could not change how things went now. The blue haired teen sighs once more and
En feels guilty about it. He goes closer to Atsushi and kisses him.
“I’m sorry, I think I made a mistake because of how is everyone around you
reacting, but if I have to be honest, I don’t regret it,” the blue eyes boy
says and leans on Atsushi’s shoulder.
“I’m also sorry… I wish things could be easier, but at least my parents are
better with this now and my sister just struggling to understand, I’ll talk to
her later,” the bespectacled boy mentions and strokes En’s hair.
“I’ll talk with the president”
No sound is made. No movement is done.
Nothing happens for a while. Then, Atsushi slowly moves to face En and his eyes
shows uncertainty. Contrary, that plain look that is on En’s face all the time,
it’s showing completely determination about what he says.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”
En is well-known for always given short answers, but Atsushi has never seen
this level of security in his reply. Atsushi nods accepting the offer. The
final agreement, En will walk alone tomorrow with Kinshiro while coming back
home, after all Atsushi wants to stay studying to finish their project for
Biology.
 
It is 3:00pm. Kinshiro is finishing his job at the Student’s Council room, he
is alone since he feels betrayed by Arima and Akoya who express their
contentment when being informed about En and Atsushi relationship. Kinshiro
simply does not get it, how can they feel happy about something like that? His
best friend with a commoner like En Yufuin? The laziest guy all over the world!
That cannot be possible. He keeps writing furiously, and once he admits there’s
no way he can keep working like this, he decides it’s time to leave.
Unfortunately for him, he sees the most unwanted person in the world waiting
for him. He tries to avoid him or does as he does not realize that he is there.
However, En is a person who is not affected by Kinshiro’s rude manners; on the
contrary he has survived to this 10 years, two more minutes won’t do any
damage.
“You know, I can follow you all the way to your place,” En mentions after
having walked all the stairs following Kinshiro in complete silence.
“Well, I guess my security will have to work today in that case,” the teen
immediately snaps at himself, he has promised to himself that at least he will
be less harsh in his way of talking to Yufuin, not only for him, but for
Atsushi.
“Guess it’ll be ok, as long as you listen to me,” the taller replies, Kinshiro
is actually amazed that En does not seem offended, “Listen, it’s been a bit
hard telling to everyone about this, well to the guys in the club was easy, but
families have been hard.”
There’s a pause, En is scratching the back of his neck and he shows some kind
of tiredness unknown to Kinshiro. The president stops his walking, he looks at
En, as if he’s giving him the permission to talk and explain himself. The
taller grunts, he hates to provide long explanations, but he knows he offered
himself to take this quest.
Why didn’t Atsushi stop him yesterday?
“Look… during that crazy and shitty day I was afraid when Atsushi went to save
you, I was afraid that something could go wrong, and I thought ‘shit, he’s so
important, I love him’, that day I realize of my feelings and so I needed to
let them go.” En explains, his face tinted with a light blush.
“I don’t see the point in this confession,” the white haired teen expresses and
starts walking again, he is not going to take any of En’s romantic thoughts,
that’s indecent at some extent.
En sighs, this is going to be harder than he expected, and he actually can’t
believe that his doing all his confession thrice. First to Atsushi, then to
Atushi’s parents, well to them without the “magical boys” part; and now to
Kusatsu.
Why couldn’t all they be like his parents? 
They have been the most understandable people with this, and his mother was so
excited about the news that she almost threw a party. Of course En stopped her,
but she said that she wouldn’t be stop of celebrating their wedding. Sometimes
En wonders why his mom acts like that.
He shakes all those thoughts from his head, it’s not the time to get
distracted, it’s the time to show to the president that he’s serious about
being with Atsushi. Although he still does not get why he has to have an
approval from Kinshiro.
“OK, then I’m not gonna say anything else from that day,” wrong way of starting
back, Kinshiro raises his eyebrow, he’s definitely having the wrong idea,
“Wait! Nothing like that happened, don’t get the wrong idea” En immediately
says putting his hands up.
“As I said, I’m not interested in knowing anything,” the green eyed boy remarks
once more and tries to move as fast as he can.
En is actually reaching his limits, how can Kinshiro be so stubborn? Since En’s
patient is running out, and they are also reaching the city and En does not
want to walk too much, he grabs Kinshiro’s wrist and makes him stop.
“What’s your problem? What do I have to do to show you that I’m a nice guy? I
know I’m lazy, but that’s not something really bad, well at least I don’t think
is that bad, and I know I’m full of defects, but who is not?” the tallest says.
The white haired boy shakes En’s hold away and his eyes pierce a look into En’s
eyes. Kinshiro is also getting tired, being honest he does not even have an
idea of why he feels so distress about this relationship or about En… or maybe
he does.
However he is not going to accept that.
Once he has completely shaken off En’s hold, he goes to restart his path, but
suddenly he feels arms around him, a loud shout, and he hears something
crashing against the ground. He knows he’s on the floor, but he knows that he’s
not actually on the ground, he’s on someone. When he opens his eyes, he cannot
even recall when he has closed them, he sees people starting to gather around
and gasping in horror.
He listens to a grunt, a familiar grunt, and once he looks back, he sees
Yufuin, what happened? He wonders and when En loosens the hold he stands up.
His eyes go wide open when he sees some blood dripping from En’s hair.
“What?” he whispers, still to shock to remember or being able to register
everything.
“A skater was coming full speed, but you didn’t see him; I barely have time to
move you away, are you ok?”
“How can you ask that?” the president says, his tone of voice is alarmed and he
pulls out his cellphone and makes a call.
“Who are y…” Yufuin does not finish his question, he blacks out and Kinshiro
gets even more alarmed.
 
When En wakes up, he’s in a white room, he feels dizzy and there’s a pinching
sensation in the back of his head and it itches as hell. Once he tries to touch
it, he notices there’s a bandage around it, just what happened? He asks to
himself and tries to look for someone who can explain it.
“En-chan!” he recognizes that voice, it’s Atsushi, but why is he here?
“Atsushi,” he feels dumb, he should have say something better.
“How are you feeling? Do you remember what happened?” Atsushi’s voice sounds a
bit alarmed and En is wondering why, but he knows if he asks, Atsushi will get
even more alarmed.
“Atsushi, please, remember the doctor said he might not remember everything,” a
second voice… oh… yeah now he remembers.
The blue haired teen seems embarrassed, but he’s worry is not going away from
his face. En tries to place all the events on his mind and after a while he
finally gathers them. He remembers talking with Kinshiro and suddenly pulling
him away from a careless skateboarder, and then hitting his head against the
sidewalk.
“I’m alright Atsushi, you don’t have to worry, I’m just a bit hungry, and just
for curiosity, you haven’t called my mom, right? You know how she gets” En
speaks the words as clearly and fluently as he can to lower Atsushi’s worries.
“No, you told me once to never call her in case that you’ll get in a hospital,”
Atsushi kindly smiles and continues, “I’ll go and get you some melon bread,
ok?”
Probably Atsushi does not know about the awkwardness that’s left in the room
once he’s out. Or probably he does, and he wants things to be completely sorted
out between these two.
However, silence is growing bigger and none of them seem to be capable of
breaking the ice. En is finally tired of trying and Kinshiro is too proud.
“Thank you,” the white haired boy finally says, but looks away.
“Are you alright?” En asks again since Kinshiro didn’t answer back in the place
of the accident.
“Yes… I was unharmed thanks to you,” he replies, En simply nods.
By now, En has given up, he has decided that he can live with Kinshiro’s hate
towards him, and even if he knows that’s gonna hurt Atsushi, he simply does not
know what else to do. En stares at the window, counting the minutes that it’ll
take to Atsushi to come back, after all being with Kinshiro is only less weird
if Atsushi is there with them. The dirty blond haired is about to fall asleep
when Kinshiro clears his throat. He looks at the white haired teen a bit
confused and tilts his head.
“I hope that now you can listen to me, I’ve been thinking about it, being
honest what I hate is the fact that I know you are the perfect person for
Atsushi,” Kinshiro says, his voice steady and firm, “So, that’s probably what I
hate, but I’ll do my best to try and respect and support your relationship…
after all you were the only one to keep Atsushi’ smile during all these years.”
En does not know how to reply to that, there’s somehow a bittersweet tone in
the way Kinshiro pronounces those last words. However, it’s different from the
usual bittersweet tone that he always use against En. Before En can say a word,
Atsushi comes back, with the melon bread and a soda.
“Did I interrupt something?” Atsushi asks ashamed.
“Not at all, I must leave now, I hope you get better, Yufuin,” he smiles at the
boy, for the first time, “See you tomorrow at school, At-chan.”
“Yes, see you Kin-chan! Thank you for everything!”
“Apparently I did it,” En says smirking.
“Apparently you did,” Atsushi smiles and kisses En’s forehead, “Now that the
problem is solved and that you’re injuries are treated it’s time to call your
parents.”
            En grunts, he knows his mother is really melodramatic, but after
all there’s no way he can hide that injury.
“Thank you for trying so hard with Kin-chan,”Atsushi says one more time and
kisses En’s hand.
“Anything for you.” En replies and leans towards Atsushi, with this the hardest
test has been approved and he can finally feel his relationship with Atsushi
official.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
***** Happy Birthday Little En-chan! *****
Chapter Summary
     For some reason En has been turned into a kid, what are the boys
     gonna do on this special day now that En is a boy?
Chapter Notes
     En-chan as a kid kills me XDDD so I needed to do this fic even if it
     does not make any sense at all XD
                        Happy Birthday, little En-chan!
-July 2nd, when Atsushi woke up he thought that this would be a normal day, a
normal birthday celebration, but well… it might be that that couldn’t be
possible today.-
He is not sure about what to think, when he gets into En’s room, as he usually
does to wake him up, he perceives that something is different, but he cannot
put a name on it. Not even a word to describe the weird feeling that invades
him. That, until the moment when he looks at the futon. The silhouette over
there doesn’t quietly match En’s silhouette, does En have any visitors at home
for his birthday?
“En-chan?” Atsushi calls out, but not to the person on the futon, he actually
calls to him with a loud tone hoping to find his boyfriend somewhere, or that
En-chan crosses the door screaming ‘surprise!’ or anything like that, but it
doesn’t happen.
Instead, he hears a murmur, saying something like ‘no school, please,’ Atsushi
takes a breath and goes straight to the futon, he repeats his breathing pattern
in order to calm himself. He slowly counts to three and lifts the blankets.
There’s a child over there, but not any child, he is sure that child is En
Yufuin.
How can that be even possible?! En is supposed to be 19 today, not 5 years!
Atsushi falls down and muffle his own scream with his hands, but that doesn’t
prevent the child from waking up and so the child slowly sits. The small
version of En Yufuin rubs his eyes and tries to focus his sight towards the
blue haired teen.
“Who are you?” the child asks blinking several times, “And where are mom and
dad? They were supposed to wake me up as they always do?”
‘So, apparently, En has always been dependent on someone to wake him up,’
Atsushi thinks at the moment, but tries to go back to the main issue as fast as
he can.
“You don’t remember me?” the bespectacled boy asks.
“No… I don’t even know you…” En replies and looks around for something,
“Where’s Chiku-chan?”
“Chiku-chan?” Atsushi repeats and En keeps looking around the room.
The blue haired boy is confused, is this something that Wombat or any other
alien did? And why? And what should he do? Take En with him and call the other
guys?
His thoughts are cut out when he starts listening to some sobs, oh no! En is
starting to cry! He is really desperate to find that Chiku-chan thing, whatever
it is.
“No, no, no, please don’t cry, can you tell me how Chiku-chan is? I’ll help you
to find it out!”
En-chan cleans his tears and nods.
“Chiku-chan is a fluffy cat, is blue and his tail has green rings.”
Atsushi immediately knows where to find it. He remembers it from a previous
visit when he was searching some clothes for En-chan and found out the old
plushie. He chuckles at the memory of En-chan being embarrassed and so throwing
the poor Chiku-chan to the deepest part of his closet.
“I think I know where it is, give me a second”
Little En nods and waits on his futon for Atsushi to come back. It doesn’t take
long to the blue haired to finally get to the “hiding” place for Chiku-chan.
After all, it was obvious that En would have never cleaned or organize his
closet.
“Is this Chiku-chan?” Atsushi asks and bends to give the plushie to the child.
“Yes!” En quickly takes it and hugs it, “I’m hungry, where’s mommy? She always
brings me breakfast to my room on my birthday.”
So at least En knows which date today is, and something else that Atsushi
notices, definitely, En’s parents contributed to the fact that En is a lazy
person. Atsushi knows is not right to lie to a child, but if he is reasonable,
En-chan is not actually a child.
“Well, they ask me to come here to take care of you since they are preparing a
really nice surprised for you, so come on, I’ll make you your favorite
breakfast!”
For a moment, Atsushi is nervous, En doesn’t seem really convinced about what
he said, but after a couple of seconds the child stands up and grabs Atsushi’s
shirt to go downstairs. The blue haired boy gently smiles to the kid and starts
walking to the kitchen. It’s good to know that En has had the same tastes all
his life and he actually prepares En’s favorite breakfast, pancakes with
chocolate chips, while the child is eating Atsushi takes a moment to text the
others.
“En-chan, I invited some people to come, they are all really nice and want to
celebrate your birthday with you!”
“OK,” the child replies, he seems a bit uncomfortable, but keeps focused on his
meal, “Do I really have to eat the fruits, I don’t like them?”
The puppy eyes that En-chan makes in this moment conquest Atsushi’s heart and
he just lets En does as he wants.
 “It’s ok, if you want you can go and watch some cartoons while I clean the
kitchen, ok?”
The child nods and goes to the living room to watch TV. Atsushi is still
worrying, according to what Yumoto says, Wombat is nowhere to be found and the
others couldn’t believe what they heard. He just hopes that they can get to
En’s place as soon as possible and that Kinshiro brings the clothes he
requested since he already searched through all the house, but there are no
clothes that can fit En in this moment, and having the child wearing an
oversized t-shirt is not fair at all.
After half an hour and two “Hamtaro” episodes the bell rings, of course they
would wait for someone who opens the door, not all of them are used to just
walk inside the house. Atsushi, then, asks to the child to wait there so he can
go to open the door.
“I wanna see him! Where’s he?” Yumoto screams as soon as he gets in the house.
“Is it true? So, En is now the youngest and not our dear grandpa?” Ryuu
continues his questions.
“Ryuu, please, we need to think about a solution, not to make jokes about the
actual situation.”
“Naruko is right, you are such a dumb person, but also, why are we supposed to
be here?” Akoya asks towards Ibushi and Kinshiro.
“We are here to help as well,” the tallest boy replies.
“Here, this is what I got with the description you gave me,” Kinshiro says
while handling a bag to Atsushi.
“Thank you, and thanks to all for coming, I honestly don’t know what to do.”
“You really don’t know, En-chan-senpai-chan is not in the living room”
“What?!” All of them scream in unison.
“It can’t be possible, I left him alone for less than 4 minutes.”
Without even saying a word everyone starts looking for the child around the
house, in the kitchen, the bedroom, every corner in the living room, bathroom,
and so on without a result.
“Maybe in the backyard?” Ryuu suggests when everyone seems to be done.
“Wait!” Atsushi screams remembering something and goes upstairs with everyone
following him. When they reach the end of the hall, there was an old piece of
furniture, an old closet actually. Atsushi closes his eyes and crosses his
fingers hoping to find En there.
Thankfully the child is there, sleeping.
“What the…?” Kinshiro murmurs, but holds himself before letting out an indecent
word.
“Oh, he’s so cute! Can I carry him senpai?” Yumoto asks and all of them think
about the cuddles that Yumoto usually gives to Wombat, definitely, not good for
a child.
“I think it’s better if Atsushi takes him out, probably little En at this
moment is more used to Atsushi than any of us,” Ibushi explains taking Yumoto’
shoulder and although there’s disappointment in Yumoto’s eyes he accepts.
Atsushi bends over and carefully takes the child out of the closet and asks to
Kinshiro to bring the bag with the clothes upstairs. Once they are all together
again, they go to En’s room.
“I honestly don’t know what could have happened, I just got here and he was
like this,” Atsushi comments after having changed En-chan, however the boy is
still asleep, “But, I honestly believe that Wombat is involved in this…
unfortunately…”
“Wombat disappeared since yesterday’s night” Kinshiro mentions and everyone
sighs.
“What we need to do first is to find Wombat, since we are all suspecting of
him, and besides he’s the only one capable of doing something like this,”
Ibushi proposes and everyone agrees.
“I wonder if this is some kind of special show for those vulgar aliens,” Akoya
questions and everyone gets tensed, it’s not like they want to be in one of
those shows again.
After some moments of discussion, they decide that Ibushi and Yumoto will go to
look for Wombat, Io, Ryuu and Akoya will buy some stuff for a party, for a
child’s party, and lastly Atsushi and Kinshiro will stay to take care of En-
chan. When the five guys are out, there’s just silence all around the Yufuin’s
residence. Both teens stay in the room watching as the child keeps sleeping on
Atsushi’s lap. It is not a secret that both of them are worried, if Wombat is
responsible about this, why isn’t here to at least tell them the reason?
However, even if he’s worried, Kinshiro also has a limit for his patience and
looking En sleeping all the time is making that that patience runs out.
“Is that all what he does during the day?” Kinshiro cannot stop his comment and
immediately blushes and turns his face to the other side.
“Well… being En-chan, I think it’s pretty possible,” Atsushi chuckles, he has
been carried En and brushing the child’s hair with one hand during this whole
time.
“I’m not sleeping,” a childish voice said, “but I’m too comfortable, so I
didn’t want to talk, plus the other scares me… but just a bit,” the child
confesses as he snuggles more into Atsushi’s hold, “I’m hungry, can you cook
something again?”
Kinshiro just rolls his eyes and stands up from the only chair that didn’t have
any clothing or books on it.
“Come on, let me help you,” he says to Atsushi and offers his hand to the
bespectacled boy.
“I think it’d be better if you take him and then I stand up,” the child holds
stronger to Atsushi and looks at the teen from the corner of his eyes as if
Atsushi is betraying him in the most awful manner, “It’s ok, he’s my best
friend, you can trust him, right, Kin-chan?”
Kinshiro looks as the child, not very convinced of performing the action, but
tries to act as confident as he can and he nods. Slowly he bends over and takes
the child from Atsushi’s hold. It’s obvious that En does not feel comfortable
being with Kinshiro, but restrain himself from complaining, Atsushi looks
kindly to both of them and stands up, he doesn’t take the child back, he just
goes straight to the door and then to the kitchen, leaving the child and the
white haired teen confused. After some minutes of dealing with what to do,
Kinshiro starts awkwardly walking downstairs with the child, the discomfort is
still evident in both of them. Once they reach the kitchen they see Atsushi
putting on the apron and then looking for ingredients.
“Would it be ok if I cooked curry?” Atsushi asks with an apologetically look.
“Yes!!!!!!!” little En screams, lifting his arms and almost falling from
Kinshiro’s hold, and so the white haired gets to look a bit hilarious when he
tries to keep a hold of the child.
“Is it ok, Kin-chan?”
“He’s the birthday boy, we should eat what he likes,” the white haired boy
replies and turns his face not to look at Atsushi.
“Why? You don’t like curry?” big cerulean eyes look straight to green ones and
Kinshiro just moves his head to reply in a negative way.
 “HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE??? CURRY IS SO DELICIOUS, NO ONE SHOULD HATE
CURRY!!!!” the child actually screams and looks at Kinshiro in disbelief
grabbing Kinshiro’s face with his chubby hands and almost pinching the white
haired teen’s cheeks..  
“En-chan, it’s ok that people don’t always like the same stuff, I’ll make curry
for most of us, but then I’ll cook something different for Kin-chan, in the
meantime, please take care of En-chan, ok Kin-chan?”
There was no space for an argument, so they just nodded, Kinshiro carries En-
chan again. They watch TV for a while, and then before Kinshiro can even
notice, En-chan is not there. How is it possible that he didn’t notice when
little En stood up?
 Kinshiro feels his heart skip a beat and then he listens to the doorbell.
“Kin-chan, can you get the door, please?”
“Yes, sure,” Kinshiro quickly stands up and goes to get the door, it’s Akoya,
Ryuu and Io.
“Well, we are back with the stuff for the party, are we actually making this
party for a child?” Ryuu asks and gets in to the house.
“Yufuin is a child right now, it’s obvious it has to be a child party, so don’t
complain anymore and help me to get everything ready!”
“I’m gonna help Atsushi, or do you need any kind of help, Kusatsu-san? Is
everything ok?”
Io’s questions brings Kinshiro down to Earth again, but before he can say
something about the lost child, there are some small footsteps coming down the
hall.
“Party!!!!!”
The four teenagers look at the child, is it possible that En can actually be
this energetic? Well apparently, it can be. The child jumps into Kinshiro’s
arms, and once the teenager gets a hold of En and can look at the child’s face
and hands, he sees that on one of the kid’s hands there are some chocolate
rests and it’s also visible around his mouth, now there’s a reason for the
sudden disappearance and the sudden energy.
“Were you eating chocolate? And where did you find chocolates?”
The child licks his fingers and cleans his mouth, “No, I don’t have chocolates
in my room” he innocently replies and the second years laugh at the scene.
“We’re back!” Yumoto announces since the door was still open, “En-chan-senpai-
chan!!!” the blond screams and goes straight to take En out of Kinshiro’s hold
and finally being able to start cuddling the child.
For a moment, they think about taking the kid away of Yumoto’s hold, but
strangely, it seems that the kid actually enjoys to be cuddled and he even
cuddles Yumoto back. Laughing and snuggling with the blond, it’s actually a
really sweet view and the others get mesmerized by the moment.
“Hello, well, there was no sign of Wombat in any of the typical places he
frequents,” Ibushi informs when he gets to the door and all of them sigh.
“Well, then we just have to wait and have a childish party, Naruko, Zaou,
Arima, come and help me out,” Akoya orders and just keeps walking without
waiting for a response, interesting enough the three of them just follow.
“Kinshiro-senpai, let’s go and play with En-chan-senpai-chan!” Yumoto says and
grabs Kinshiro’s hand while still carrying little En-chan with his other arm
and the little one giggles and holds onto Yumoto while the blond runs at full
speed through the house.
They go to the back yard and play soccer together, well more like helping En to
kick the ball, it’s funny to see that En’ small legs cannot even kick the ball
if no one carries him. So, they take turns, at one moment, Kinshiro is the one
carrying En and Yumoto being the goal keeper, and then the other way around.
It’s actually pretty tiring, but seeing the small kid laughing so hard and
jumping every time he scores a goal, makes it worth.
“Lunch is ready!”
Atsushi announces and En-chan jumps off Yumoto’s hold to run to the dining
room.
“Did you wash your hands?” Atsushi asks to the child once he sees the little
boy sitting down.
The child dusts off his hands on his clothes and smirks saying he’s ready to
eat, but that’s not a valid option for Atsushi, so the bespectacled boy takes
the kid to actually wash his hands.
“There’s no point, I’ll get dirty again,” the kid complains, but before he can
continue, Atsushi also cleans his mouth.
“It’s necessary to be cleaned, ok? Besides it’s not healthy to eat your food
with dirty hands, and were you eating something before lunch?”
“No,” the child replies again, hiding the fact of the chocolates he ate, “I
want to sleep,” he says as he yawns.
Is it possible for a child to change his needs so fast? Atsushi is not sure of
the answer, but he knows he won’t let En-chan sleep until having lunch.
“For now, you have to eat, besides everyone is waiting for you so we can have
lunch together as part of your birthday celebration, so let’s go now.”
The child pouts, rubs his teary eyes, and grabs Atsushi’s shirt as a way to
complain, but he keeps his actual words in silence. Once they reach again the
dining room they see all of them sitting together and ready to eat. However,
that doesn’t motivates at all the little sleepy En-chan, it’s hard to get him
to eat and he actually leaves more than the half of his food and keeps
rejecting each try that Atsushi does to make him eat a bit more.
“There’s no point, it’s Yufuin after all; it’s better if you leave him sleep
now,” Ryuu says, his heart is breaking of just looking at the kid’s teary eyes
and pouts.  
“It’s true Kinugawa, let him sleep, I hate to agree with Zaou, but the poor
child needs to sleep.”
Atsushi sighs after Akoya’s words, he really didn’t want to let the kid going
to bed if he hadn’t eaten enough, but they are right. Nonetheless, before he
can take En-chan to sleep, the phone rings. It’s obvious that the caller must
be En’s parents, when they are out of town they call before En gets to nap to
see how En is doing and some other typical stuff they ask.
“I’ll answer the phone” Atsushi says and so Yumoto takes En for the
bespectacled boy so he can go and answer it.
“Mommy, daddy?” a sleepy En-chan asks, “I wanna talk”
“Let’s go to sleep, ok? It’s better for you to sleep so you can play with mom
and dad when they come back, right?” Yumoto says and takes En away, but the
rest can listen to the child’s crying as Yumoto takes him away claiming that he
wants to talk with his mom and dad.
“I’ll go to help Yumoto,” Ryuu quickly says and stands up.
“I’ll clean over here, and maybe Naruko and Akoya can finish the decoration for
the party,” Ibushi says and the two guys nod.
Meanwhile, Atsushi is finally getting the call and trying to sound as calm and
normal as he can, he speaks with Mrs. Yufuin.
“Hello Mrs. Yufuin, hi… En-chan is… well, yes, he is actually already napping…
yeah, well… ah… no, no, I… we… no… yes we are dating, but… well…yes… …yes… I’m
shy… yes… sure Mrs, Yufuin, enjoy your trip…”
Atsushi hangs up the phone, he’s blushing and his heart is beating so fast he
can actually listen to his heartbeat. There’s a pause, in every action for him,
but not for too long since Kinshiro starts talking.
“You’ve never been good at telling lies” the president comments, Atsushi tries
to look somewhere else to try to hide his blushing face with no result, since
even his ears are red, “If this wouldn’t be happening, well… we know the day
would have been pretty different for you two,” Kinshiro teases and smirks when
he sees that the bespectacled boy gets even redder after his comment.
“I’m gonna see if Ryuu and Yumoto are doing ok,” the blue haired teen says, but
turns around, “and… just for you to know, nothing like that has happened”
Atsushi comments, his ears and face still completely red as he leaves the
dining room and go straight to En’s room.
Once he crosses the door he finds that the child is sleeping peacefully on the
futon, hugging Chiku-chan, and slightly snoring. However, this was apparently a
huge job for the youngest members of the Defense Club. Ryuu looks up at
Atsushi, his hair is a mess and he’s even sweating.
“He tugged my hair! Is it possible for a child to be that strong? I would have
never believe a child could be that strong” Ryuu complains, but he does not
screams, he whispers in the most dramatic way than anyone can ever imagine.
“He calmed down after we gave him that plushie thing, he fell asleep after
that,” Yumoto says laying next to the child.
Atsushi kindly smiles and sits next to Yumoto.
“What are we going to do if Wombat doesn’t show up?” Ryuu asks, apparently he
does not want to keep taking care of the child.
“Honestly, I don’t know, I don’t even know what we can do if he wakes up, he’s
waiting to see his parents, and right now his parents are in Kyoto,” Atsushi
replies and there are three sighs that can be heard in the room.
The three stay there for a while, watching the little boy sleeping and thinking
about where to find Wombat. After half an hour, there’s a knock to the door,
and a pink haired sneak into the room with a happy smile.
“Everything is ready, you can wake him up,” Akoya says and Atsushi nods.
Ryuu is a bit scared, he does not want the child to cry again or even worse
that En will pull his hair out of anger again. Yumoto just nods, he thinks En
will get happy when he sees the party and that everyone is there to celebrate
with him. Atsushi gets closer to the kid, he thinks about what to do to wake
him up, normally he will poke En or move him or even sit on top of him to wake
him up, but that does not seem quite right to do with a kid.
“En-chan,” Atsushi says almost singing, “there’s a birthday party for you, come
on wake up…”
The child turns around, hugging Chiku-chan and complaining about the noise.
Atsushi decides then to carry him to the living room and trying to wake him up
in the way to the living room. It turns out to be a good idea, the child starts
rubbing his eyes and keeping his eyes half opened looking at Atsushi. Akoya
indicates to Atsushi to walk a bit slower and grabs Yumoto and Ryuu’s wrists so
they walk faster with him.
“En-chan, be ready, we have a nice surprise for you,” Atsushi whispers to En
and the child lifts his head a bit more, still hugging his dear Chiku-chan.
Once they get to the living room, all the guys that are there scream together
“Happy birthday!” En finally wakes up and gets excited, Atsushi puts him down
and the child runs around the living room.
“Look, look!!! There are cats everywhere!!!” he says, his eyes shining with
excitement, “Look, look!!! All are so pretty!!! Chiku-chan has a lot of friends
today!!! Cats, cats, cats!!!!!”
Akoya grins as a sign of victory, after all he chose all the stuff that is
decorating the living room in this moment. Once the child gets to be a bit
calmer, all of them sit around the living room with the little kid and start
playing games with him. Obviously, most of the games they do are related to
cats, and each time someone gets a correct answer the person gets a piece of
manju. Of course, little En keeps stealing some manju every once in a while,
when he thinks no one is watching.
At one moment, all of them are wearing cat ears and even tails, En also gets a
cat mask and he keeps meowing while jumping around, the little boy is
fascinated and gets to play with each one of the boys. There’s also a piñata
for the party, with a cat form, and En enjoys the moment of playing with it and
looking at how the candies fell from it. Little En even believes that the
piñata cat is magical for throwing candies like that. The teenagers get to be
actually pretty surprised by how the child behaves, they never imagine that En
could have been such as hyper child, and obviously no one hesitates in taking
pictures of the moments of energy of the little kid.
It’s almost 6pm, there’s still no sign of Wombat. So, the guys decide to sing
happy birthday to the child. After all, the whole day has passed and it doesn’t
seem possible to have a change for today. When they sing, En keeps clapping his
hands and smiling. He looks at the candle’s flame, his eyes shining so bright
that they look like two stars; he reaches for Atsushi’s hand and hugs the blue
haired teen. Fortunately, Ryuu takes the chance and takes a picture of that
cute scene at the perfect moment.
 When the singing is over the kid blows the candles and giggles, and of course
all of them get to eat some of the delicious chocolate cake.
It’s been a wonderful day, now they are all still waiting for Wombat or at
least that whatever Wombat did lose it effect.
“I’m sleepy” En-chan says one more time in this day at almost 8 o’clock.
“Well, let’s be honest, it actually has passed a lot of time, let’s be thankful
to all the sugar he consumed,” Io comments, he is the one holding En-chan by
the moment.
“True, well, I think it’s not necessary that all of us stay, I already texted
my parents, so I’ll stay to see if there’s a change by tomorrow morning,”
Atsushi says and picks En-chan up.
“Indeed, but are you going to be ok alone?” Kinshiro asks.
“Well, I don’t think he wakes up in the middle of the night, I mean he’s En-
chan,” Atsushi replies and chuckles, and the rest of the guys also laughs.
The guys leave the Yufuin’s residence, after having been babysitters for a
whole day. While walking, they share the pictures they took during the day and
also send the pictures to Atsushi and even En-chan, after all it’s going to be
funny to see En’s reaction when he sees himself as a child and being so active.
In the meantime, Atsushi slowly walks with En-chan to the bedroom, carefully he
places En in the futon and goes to search the extra futon that he knows En
keeps in his closet.
“Mommy?” the little one asks and rubs his eyes.
“Hi, I thought you were sleeping already,” Atsushi says and goes to sit next to
the child.
“I heard noise, I thought mommy was here”
Atsushi’s heart clenches, he knows that En’s parents are not a fault for not
being here today, after all he was actually the one who told them that he
wanted to spend the day alone with En. Now, he was regretting his decision, but
mainly he wanted to find Wombat and order him to turn En back to normal.
Atsushi is lost in his thoughts when he feels a tiny hand taking his own hand.
He looks down and sees as the child gets to cuddle on his lap.
“Wanna sleep with you,” the child says and Atsushi nods, he caresses the kid
head and quickly the boy falls asleep.
**********************
 
It’s morning, he already feels the sun light getting through the window, but
also he feels strong arms that are holding him, he feels his back is about to
break and a huge weight on him. When he opens his eyes he can see dirty blond
hair, which is pretty messed. He remembers that last night he fell asleep while
holding En-chan, but En-chan was a little boy.
“En-chan!” the bespectacled boy screams once he realizes of the change, but the
answer he gets are some mumbles and complains.
Atsushi then tries to take En’s face on his hands to verify that the boy is
actually a teenager and not a 5 years old kid.
“So noisy,” En murmurs and lifts his head to kiss Atsushi, but he doesn’t get
what he wants.
“You’re back!” Atsushi exclaims still holding En’s face.
“I told you I wasn’t going with my parents, why so surprised?”
“Because you’re back!” Atsushi repeats again, En looks confused and so Atsushi
knows it’s time to explain.
Apparently the other teen does not remember anything at all from his birthday.
After looking at the pictures, watching the videos, and listening to the whole
story from Atsushi, En-chan keeps silent for a moment and the bespectacled boy
just looks at him.
“So… I miss my first birthday, my birthday that we were going to celebrate as a
couple because of Wombat…”
Who would say it? En Yufuin actually wanted to celebrate his birthday this
year, and the tone of the voice with the one he says those words gets to
Atsushi’s heart. Atsushi will definitely get even with Wombat at the given
moment.
“You know, we can have a two-day-celebration-birthday, we don’t need to wait
until next year,” Atsushi goes closer to hug and kiss En-chan.
“Really?” the spark in En’s eyes makes him look like the little boy that he was
just yesterday and Atsushi chuckles at that, “And can we go later to find
Wombat and claim revenge? Now that I remember I saw him the night before my
birthday, he came saying something about a precious gift for me…”
“A precious gift, eh? Well maybe Wombat was not so wrong, you know, come on,
there’s a lot to do today.”
Atsushi replies holding En’s hand and helping him to stand up, maybe it was not
July 2nd anymore, but who cares, when you want to celebrate someone’s life
there’s no specific date to do it, especially if you love that person.
***** Happy Birthday my dear En-chan! *****
Chapter Summary
     After been a child on his birthday, En has a second birthday
     celebration and just with Atsushi.
Chapter Notes
     OK I'm too tired to write notes right now, so funny Spanish for this
     guiño, guiño, 13,13 uy papi....
     I can't believe I wrote two lemon fics for this week XD
See the end of the chapter for more notes
                                Happy Birthday!
It has been a really nice day after all, it is not July 2nd, but having the
chance to have two different birthday celebrations in just one year makes it
special. He and Atsushi have returned to his place after having been out all
day. They even get the chance to see the other guys; although that has not been
a really enjoyable part of the day, all of them have talked about how cute and
energetic he was as a child and to be honest, it is kind of embarrassing to
hear that.
However, it is not the time to keep thinking about it. He is back at home with
Atsushi, there’s nothing else to worry about it, and even if he hasn’t been
able to see Wombat to claim revenge, he feels good. He opens the door and lets
Atsushi get in first, he then closes the door and together they walk to the
kitchen to get something to drink.
“Ah! Now that I remember, there’s something else!” Atsushi expresses and goes
to the fridge.
“Something else? I thought there were no more surprises, you know it’s been
really cool there’s no need for more,” the taller boy comments and looks at the
blue haired with a raised eyebrow.
“Remember you told me you wanted to taste cheesecake, I got some at a store
downtown yesterday, and I put it into the fridge when I got here, I think we
can eat it today,” the bespectacled boy replies and pulls out said dessert.
“You really got some! Thanks Atsushi!”
Atsushi smiles, he can perceive that En is really thankful for this, but it’s
been weird to actually see the blue eyed teen so thankful for every single
action that they have done during the day. To be honest, En has been saying
thanks to almost everything Atsushi has done so far. It’s not like En is an
ungrateful brat, but so many “thank you’s” in one day it’s just weird.
“You really are in a good mood, don’t you? Even if you haven’t slept all your
requested hours today, you seem really happy” Atsushi mocks, but he feels a
quick change in En’s mood, like if he is embarrassed for the words.
“Let’s go to my room, ok?”
Atsushi nods, he feels that he has done something wrong, or at least, he feels
kind of uncomfortable now. They get to the room and eat the cheesecake, and
then as usual En just puts the dishes apart over his desks, and after that, in
one simple and quickly move he wraps Atsushi in his arms. They both remain
sitting down, Atsushi been wrapped in En’s arms and trying to correspond the
hug as much as h can; and in the room is filled with silence for a moment.
“Thank you,” the dirty blond whispers once more into Atsushi’s ear.
“En-chan, you don’t have to thank me, I love you and this is the less I can do
for you,” Atsushi replies and turns around to give a kiss to En.
“This is the first time someone has been with me during all my birthday,” En
whispers into Atsushi’s ear.
Atsushi is surprised by the statement, it didn’t look like En’s parents will
leave him alone during his birthday, not after the struggle they had to deal to
calm him down. The blue haired boy keeps in silence, but grabs En’s hands and
lifts the dirty blond face with his free hand. Maybe with that simple touch
Atsushi is asking En to explain a bit more, the blue eyed boy understands and
he kisses the hand that is linked to his.
“My parents were always with me in the morning, they woke me up, and we had
breakfast together, but after that they would leave to work. I’d stay at home
watching TV or sleeping, waiting for them to come back at night, but most of
the times I was already slept” En says, his words are muffled since he leans
towards Atsushi’s shoulder, “That’s why I didn’t like to celebrate my
birthday.”
Now, it’s really understandable the reason why En, as a kid, was so desperate
to talk and see his parents. Atsushi grabs stronger En’s hand, he is lost at
words; how can he reply something like this? It’s true that in his family was
also hard to have a time with all the family members, but he knows that his
parents would always stop their activities when it was his or his sister’s
birthday.
“It was not that bad, you don’t have to worry about the past, I love my
parents, you know that and you know that they love me, but… well it’s not so
easy for middle class families that want their kids to go to the greatest high
schools to get enough money for everything,” En says and again pushes Atsushi
closer to him, “I remember I used to tell them that I didn’t care about a
future, ‘cuz I preferred to be with them, but you know what?”
“What?” Atsushi asks while caressing En’s hair.
“Thanks to them being so worried about my education I got to meet you, at the
end, they gave me the greatest present I could have ever received because you
are always there for me, thank you Atsushi.”
The way En says those words, the way that he’s holding him, all the little
details in the atmosphere right now make Atsushi really feel as if he’s En’s
most precious possession. Suddenly, Atsushi stands up, for a moment En believes
that he has said something wrong or at least he does not have an idea of what
Atsushi is doing now. The bespectacled boy goes straight to turn off the light,
En tilts his head and is about to ask what’s going on, but before he can say
something, Atsushi starts speaking.
“I want you to know, that I’ll be there for you, always! Always! Even if you
can’t see me or even if you can’t hold my hand, I’m always gonna be there for
you, I love you En-chan and I want you to know that, I’ll never leave your
side,” Atsushi expresses, he’s still at some point of the room without getting
closer to En.
“Thank you…I love you more than anything, you know?” En whispers, he tries to
keep his voice steady, but Atsushi knows that the older is holding his tears.
Slowly he walks towards En, he does not turn on the light; he can find his
boyfriend easily and so he wraps his arms around En as soon as he gets to him.
Atsushi sits on En’s lap and without a word they share a kiss and En puts
Atsushi’s legs around his waist. It’s the first time they are in such an
intimate position and the first time that the kiss is not so innocent.
They pull apart, and they notice the heat that comes from each other’s body.
They can clearly see to each other with the dim moonlight that gets into En’s
room through the window.
Atsushi believes that’s the perfect view, En’s beautiful sapphire eyes shining
with the silver light provided by the moon, sometimes he wishes he could know
what En is exactly thinking, but he has learned in all these years that that’s
not really possible. En’s mind is such a beautiful mystery, and he’s glad of
that, and he actually takes that as an attractive challenge to carry on. On the
other hand En keeps thinking he’s the luckiest guy in the world having such as
loving person as his boyfriend, he really can’t come up with a good reason for
having such an amazing luck, but he thanks whichever power gave him this bless.
En goes back and kisses Atsushi once more, he wants to show to his dear Atsushi
how much he loves him. The kiss starts out as a chaste one, just a simple peck
on the lips, then slowly and sweetly En licks Atsushi’s lips, getting little by
little to explore his boyfriend’s mouth with his tongue. Atsushi slides his
hands towards En’s broad chest and then taking his curious hands towards En’s
back and keeping them there to hug En tightly.
The dirty blond continues with the kiss as far as he can, and letting himself
go with the moment he takes a small bite of Atsushi’s lower lip. Unconsciously,
the blue haired teen licks his lip to soften the little pain he feels from the
bite, and that makes En’s heart skip a bit. It is pretty sexy to have a look at
that innocent action, but such an innocence awakes the dirty blond. Once again
En strikes against the younger boy with a kiss, the brown eyed boy; who is not
ready for such a fast come back; unexpectedly, lets out a moan when En licks
and bites his lips and quickly the dirty blond gets his hands under his shirt
caressing his abdomen.    
Atsushi moans again and pulls apart from the kiss to get some air. His face is
completely blushed, his lips are red and swollen and his breathing is pretty
heavy. Having that sight in front of him, En feels a growing pain on his lower
part, this is more than what they have done so far, and he’s hesitating about
what to do. Unfortunately his mind is playing really unfair and giving him
several ideas and his lower part is also betraying him and he buckles his hips
against Atsushi’s once more.
Both of them groan at the sensation and at least En calms a bit more by knowing
that he’s not the only one that feels like that at the moment. Being caught in
his thoughts he’s taken out of guard when Atsushi’s hands touches him closer to
his crotch making him grunt and hold his breath for a few seconds. The
bespectacled boy repeats his action and being unable to control himself En
buckles his hips again and feels an unbearable pressure over there.
“Atsushi…” he whispers his voice getting hoarse, and he holds Atsushi’s hands
before the other repeats his action, “we’ve never got to this point… is it… is
it…”
“It’s ok,” the bespectacled boy replies before En can ask his questions, “I
think it’s ok…” he repeats and kisses En once more.
En presses Atsushi to his chest and both tremble at the sensation of their
bodies being so closed, especially with the little friction they feel on that
sensitive spot. This time, En breaks apart first and after normalizing a bit
his breathing, he goes and gives a kiss to then continuing licking Atsushi’s
jaws. After that he traces a small path of kisses until the point in which
Atsushi’s shirt becomes an obstacle. Being a bit mad with this, En just pushes
up the shirt leaving Atsushi’s torso’s naked, the blue haired boy trembles a
bit when he feels the cool air hitting his hot skin. At the sight En licks his
lips and Atsushi cannot avoid getting blushed by that.
“You always see me like this, there’s nothing new about it… and I’m pretty
skinny… you know,” the younger complains and tries to cover his chest with his
hands.
“Don’t do that!” En demands and pulls apart Atsushi’s hands, “it’s true we
always see each other like this, but in this moment, we’re alone, we belong to
each other and you’re perfect for me, I love everything about you,” he says
with no hesitation and plants some kisses on Atsushi’s chest while holding his
hands and lies the blue haired boy on the futon.
The boy squirms, feeling En’s hot kisses and the warm of his saliva on his
chest and stomach it’s a whole new sensation and he wants to register
everything about that; although he’s sure his senses are gonna fail him at any
moment. Now, it’s Atsushi who bucks his hips and starts feeling more and more
pressure under his pants. However, with En holding his arms and his legs he
feels pretty restricted in the position he’s right now, and he can’t do
anything to avoid that movement.
En actually grins when he notices Atsushi’s desperation when he licks several
times one of the boy’s nipples and he starts pinching the other with his
fingers. En is delight by the view and keeps licking, nibbling, and touching
all around Atsushi’s chest. Then, after a while, En lets go of the younger’s
hands, and his first movement is to grabs En’s shoulders and holds tightly into
him. En kisses him one more time and make sure to lightly rub their erections,
the taller nibbles hard Atsushi’s earlobe and so the bespectacled boy lets out
a cry of pleasure when he cums.
Atsushi’s breathing is pretty irregular and he’s hotter by now, he looks from
the corner of the eye to En who is grinning, the dirty blonde delicately
touches Atsushi’s pants and with one of his fingers he licks a bit of Atsushi’s
cum.
“Tastes as good as you,” he mocks and smiles seductively.
Atsushi gets even redder than before and he pushes En against the futon, the
older is too distracted with the recent burning sensation on his back, so he
does not notices Atsushi who goes down and unzips his pants. The bespectacled
boy kisses En’s cock through the fabric and feels as it throbs a bit. En groans
at that feeling and he lifts his hips almost by instinct when Atsushi pulls
down his pants and underwear.
Atsushi playfully takes En’s shaft into one of his hands and teases with one
finger the whole length, he then smiles mischievously as he gives little peck
to the tip of En’s member. En throws his head back and his breathing becomes
faster.
“Don’t play…” he gets to say, but the blue haired teen smiles and ignores En’s
petition, the blue haired teen loves to look at those lidded eyes that brightly
shine in the dark of the room.
Atsushi keeps moving a finger all around En’s length, the dirty blond bucks his
hips, totally frustrated to get more attention on that part, and so Atsushi
complies. He licks a bit first, tasting the precum that has come out already
and getting used to the taste. Then, he opens up his mouth and takes just the
tip, En moans loudly and he bucks his hips making Atsushi takes more of himself
into his mouth. The older cannot prevent himself of grabbing Atsushi’s hair and
pushing him to take even more. The bespectacled boy handles it and moves up and
down taking as much as he can with each movement.
“Atsushi… I can’t… anymore… let go…” En says, he can barely let the words out,
but even if Atsushi listens to him, he just doesn’t obey.
Atsushi keeps bobbing and licking and without being able to control himself, En
cums in Atsushi’s mouth and there’s a thin white smear falling down from
Atsushi’s mouth. The teen cleans his mouth and takes off his glasses.
“Why?” En asks, still trying to normalize his breathing.
“You’re not the only one allow to have fun,” Atsushi says.
There’s a pause; both heavily breathing, but En is the first one to reach for
Atsushi and pulls him over him to kiss him even more. Until then, En realizes
that he’s still wearing his t-shirt and that Atsushi is still wearing his
pants. The blue eyed teen wants to simply strip himself and Atsushi, but he
also wants to enjoy that moment. Feeling Atsushi’s breath and his body’s
hotness over him it’s driving him crazy. However, he holds himself and gently
places Atsushi right next to him and kisses the bespectacled boy’s cheek.
“Do you want to stop now?” En asks, he does not want to disrespect Atsushi, he
looks straight to the beautiful brown orbs that look so bright and that
practically represents En’s whole world.
“We’ve gone this far, I don’t see a reason to stop now,” the blue haired teen
replies and kisses En on the lips.
Slowly, they enjoy their kiss, feeling their tongues intertwined and each other
small moaning and mewling when they try to reach even closer. En pulls apart
from the kiss, and starts tracing Atsushi’s torso with kisses and light caress,
reaching down until the point in which Atsushi’s pants get in his way. His
hands tremble a bit and he hesitates about pulling down the teen’s pants, so
Atsushi takes En’s hands and slowly guides him in the action, helping the dirty
blond lifting his hips and removing his pants. He shivers at the cold sensation
of feeling the air of the night on his skin, but that doesn’t last long, En
immediately starts given attention to the now uncovered skin. The taller boy
takes one of Atsushi’s leg and pulls it over his shoulder and so he starts
kissing the inner part of the tight while his hands rubs the other leg.
The blue haired teen looks at his boyfriend, he seems so deep in thought, so
focused and passionate on his actions. Nonetheless, even if Atsushi loves to
admire his boyfriend, he can’t keep doing that when En drags his tongue so very
closed to his cock that he parts his lips to let out a loud moan, which
actually makes En take a look at him.
“Am I doing this right?” En innocently asks tilting his head, he actually looks
a bit worry, “You know, I literally have no experience on this.”
“You’re doing it perfectly, En-chan,” Atsushi replies, kindly smiling to his
boyfriend to make him know that everything is ok, “And remember, none of us
have experience, so it’s ok.”
En feels better by the reassuring answer that Atsushi gives him, he takes
advantage of this pause and removes his t-shirt. He does not know why, but he
actually feels the urge to just go and lie down with Atsushi for a moment, and
so he does. He strongly wraps his arms around Atsushi, the other boy
corresponding the hug. Both feeling their bodies for the first time completely
uncovered and adoring the sensation of their skins being together. En swiftly
moves, rubbing their growing erections once more.
“I don’t know what to do now… I know that it can hurt and I don’t want to hurt
you,” En whispers into Atsushi’s ear.
It’s weird, but En sounds like a little kid, Atsushi cannot avoid his chuckling
at the thought and at how cute En’s voice sounds. Even if they are doing this,
he knows there’s plenty of innocence in both of them. After all, they are doing
this out of love.
“You know, it’ll be ok,” Atsushi answers back after a moment, “I’m with you,
and there’s nothing that can go wrong when I’m with you.”
The dirty blond hugs him even stronger, gives a kiss to Atsushi’s forehead, and
stands up. The blue haired boy is confused by the action and sees as En goes
straight to his desk.
“I need to find something my mom gave me the other day,” En explains when he
looks back and sees Atsushi’s puzzled expression.
“Your mom?”
“This is kind embarrassing…” En murmurs and keeps talking, “when she knew we
started dating… well… she bought… some stuff… for us…”
As soon as Atsushi understands what En is saying he blushes so much that he
thinks that En can actually find him just by the blushed on his face. After
some rummaging through his drawer desk he finds the bottle and goes back to the
futon where Atsushi is now sitting and hiding his face with his hands. En takes
both hands giving a kiss to each of them and putting them down.
“Sorry for the unexpected pause,” he says and goes to kiss Atsushi on the lips
one more.
There’s a change in the pace of the actions. En moves slowly, nibbling and
tasting Atsushi’s skin, from his collarbone to his legs. En wants to have as
much of Atsushi’s essence as he can, he needs to memorize and remember
Atsushi’s beauty. The younger, on the other hand, mewls and squeezes at every
touch and tender kiss he receives, murmuring En’s name every time his voice
allows him to talk. The atmosphere gets to be pretty intense, En accelerates
his action, which is pretty amazing for the lazy boy, but he goes tracing paths
with kisses and his hands through all of Atsushi’s body. The blue haired teen
tries to hold onto En, grabbing his arms, or his hair depending on En’s
position, but with no success of having a way to support his trembling body.
“Can I… well you know…” En suddenly says pausing his action and looking right
into the eyes of a panting Atsushi.
“You mean…” Atsushi trails off, still panting, but that is not the real reason
not to finish his phrase, he gets embarrassed of the idea of saying ‘that.’
“Yes…” the dirty blond replies and keeps locking his eyes with Atsushi’s.
The smaller man tries to produce a sound that can affirm to En that he can go
ahead and prepare him for what’s coming now, but his voice betrays him.
Instead, he ends up nodding, his face even redder than before. En also nods, he
grabs the bottle once more, but before performing any action, he goes to pull
Atsushi into another heated kiss, their hands reaching each other’s bodies and
both feeling the leaking precum that starts to cover their lower parts.
“I’m gonna be really careful,” En says after pulling apart from the kiss and
recovering his breath.
Atsushi nods, there are no words that can reassure anymore En because Atsushi’s
eyes are full with love and trust towards En. Then, the older covers his
fingers with some lube, he is completely unsure on how to proceed, he looks
again at Atsushi, his eyes are a bit different, they keep that shine of
innocence that En loves, but also there’s a bit of lust in his brown eyes. That
simply helps En to unlock himself from the mental cage in which he was in.
That look in Atsushi’s face that is totally blushed and covered with sweat, the
lips that are covered with their saliva, swollen and pink, and the eyes that
shine as a beautiful as the moon, makes En move with no hesitation. The taller
boy lifts a bit Atsushi’s hips and as slowly and gentle as he can he put one
finger in. the dirty blond feels as Atsushi tenses and whines a bit, En gets
worried by this sudden change, but he bends over and starts kissing Atsushi to
help him get distracted.
“I’m ok…” Atsushi reassures him and softly he places his hand on En’s jaw, “You
can go ahead, I told you I’ll be fine with you.”
En nods, and he pulls out his finger to get more lube over it and when he goes
back to work, he as tenderly as he can, he puts two of his fingers in. Again,
he perceives that Atsushi is going through a lot of pain, he does not like
that. He tries to think fast, his solution again kissing his boyfriend and with
his other hand he takes Atsushi’s cock and start pumping it. He grins once that
he feels Atsushi’s moans and his body getting spasms.
“I won’t… I… last longer…” Atsushi pants when he pulls apart from the kiss.
“You look so good,” that what En replies and Atsushi can’t help it but chuckle
at how distracted En can be.
However, En did put attention to what Atsushi has said. He pulls out his
fingers again, and he starts tantalizing Atsushi’s entrance with his cock. En
cannot avoid it, he grunts, he feels really good and this is something that he
never thought it could feel so extremely good. They gasp in unison, their
breathing are irregular, and their muscles tremble with each movement they
attempt to do.
En tries to regain his strength, he makes eye contact one more time with
Atsushi and gives one more kiss, and he could swear that he would never get
tired of Atsushi’s taste, of his lips, of feeling those delicate lips being in
touch with his. Once he breaks apart, he moves to align, he takes a deep breath
and so does Atsushi. Slowly he pushes the tip into Atsushi’s entrance, the blue
haired loudly gasping at the intrusion and arching his back. En being so caught
up by Atsushi’s movement he pushes deeper, making the other moan and grabs the
sheet with such a strength that his knuckles go white in just a few moments.
The blue haired teen breathes quickly, his face completely flustered and sweat
falling all over his face and body. En gets hypnotized by the view he has below
him, his boyfriend being a tremble moaning mess and squirming at the tiniest
movement he does.
“Atsushi… I… I want to move…” En says, his face getting flushed and having an
evident tremble on his muscles as well.
“Go on…” Atsushi weakly replies with a smile on his face.
En breaths in and slowly lets out the air, he grabs Atsushi’s legs and place
them around his waist, holding them tight and starting to move back and forth.
He starts with a gentle and slow movement. He does not want to hurt Atsushi
after all, he wants this first time to be as perfect as possible, and until
now, he feels that it has gone like that. Nonetheless, he is surprised by
Atsushi, who starts moving and meeting each one of En’s thrusts.
“There’s no need to be afraid,” Atsushi says while gasping and sounding a bit
drained, but reaching to kiss En.
En complies and goes down to kiss Atsushi, he starts sloppily kissing him while
going back and forth as fast as he can. Atsushi can barely breathe, there’s too
many things going on now for him; feeling En’s lips going all over his face,
having En’s chest just rubbing his own so hard, and then that feeling of being
one with En, it’s much than what he can bare. He tries to register all those
emotions, all those sensations, all those new feelings that he is
experimenting. He tries to keep track of everything, but he’s again attacked by
En’s constant kisses. This time En envelopes him in such a deep kiss that
there’s no pause, there’s no time to breathe, En plays with his lips, with his
tongue, he bites and nibbles as Atsushi tries to scream or moan, anything would
be good, he just needs to let out his air, but En does not seem to understand
his need in this moment.
Atsushi knows he’s not gonna last any longer, and he tries to let En knows, but
the other does not allow him to make any kind of sound. En is just too focused,
too out of himself, because all what is on En’s mind right now it’s Atsushi. To
make Atsushi feels good, to make him feel as he has never felt in his whole
life. And so, if Atsushi has to be honest, En is really getting that goal.
“En…” Atsushi finally gets to say, but it’s cut out when En goes back to kiss
him.
En keeps thrusting him, now strongly and faster, and just at that moment, En
gets to hit that spot. There’s no more time for Atsushi, he cums while being
kissed by En and he splutters both of his stomachs. Once more, Atsushi arches
his back emptying himself and heavily panting and feeling dizzy because of the
climax he has just experimented. En looks at Atsushi, he thrust a couple of
times, and he loudly grunts when he reaches his climax as well.
En seems to be lost in the moment, his irregular breathing and Atsushi’s pants
being the only sound that fill the room. En trembles a bit when he pulls out of
Atsushi and so the other unwraps his legs from En’s waist. The taller goes down
and lies next to Atsushi. He caresses Atsushi’s hair and moves a part of it
behind the blue haired teen’s ear, En slowly moves to kiss Atsushi’s cheek and
he caresses the teen face with his hand. Atsushi cups En’s hand with his. They
stare to each other in the silently night and both having a gentle smile on
each other lips.
“I love you,” En murmurs and wraps Atsushi with his arms.
“I love you too, I hope you like your birthday,” Atsushi comments and kisses
En’s forehead.
“There’s no need to reply, but I love it, thank you, you’re everything I need.”
En replies and snuggles Atsushi’s chest, he quickly pulls apart from the hug
just to take a clean blanket to put it over them.
“Is it ok if we sleep like this?” he asks, he seems to be too tired to go and
take a shower and with his expression his almost begging to Atsushi to say yes.
“Just because it’s your birthday, but after this time, never again,” he answers
back, to be honest he’s also really tired and does not feel any kind of
strength to stand up.
En happily smiles and goes back to cuddle with Atsushi. Both teens embrace each
other and share a few more pecks until the action itself makes them fall
asleep, but never letting go of each other. After all, they mean the world for
each other, and there’s nothing that can make them change their minds.
Chapter End Notes
     so I Hope it was good, I didn't want to repeat many things from the
     first fic I worte for the week, which is the last episode of this
     sequence and I hope the sequence makes sense LOL
***** Our Blue Moon *****
Chapter Summary
     There are some moments in which En leaves his lazy side and becomes a
     much more active boy
Chapter Notes
     I wrote this one first for the week, it was really hard cuz it's been
     like a year since I wrote something lemon and so I was afraid of not
     getting a good result XD
                                 Our Blue Moon
“This part of him, this side of him…There’s no one… there’s no one else who has
the right to see this side of En Yufuin. And Atsushi loves the fact that he is
the only one who is allowed to see and enjoy this part of his dear En-chan.”
Atsushi realizes that today is that kind of day when En gets closer to him at
the end of the club activities and whispers to him, with a husky voice and a
look that he couldn’t dismiss “come home with me.”
The bespectacled boy does not ask why or even bother to reply, when En asks it
this way there’s no way to say no. It’s not a demanding voice, not even
imperative, there’s no sense of possessiveness either.
So, after coming out of the Kurotama Bath and saying their farewells to their
juniors, they start their way to En’s place. They walk closed to each other,
but none of them take the other’s hand. It’s weird and funny that En can
actually walks faster than usual, but Atsushi knows that the only thing in En-
chan’s mind in this moment is being alone with him.
He loves that, he loves the fact that En needs this time alone with him, that
En needs to have this level of intimacy with him. Sometimes, Atsushi thinks he
is the real possessive person in their relationship, but when he analyses if he
feels guilty or bad about it, he realizes that he simply does not care. He
honestly loves to feel this important to En.
Once they reach En’s place, the taller opens the door and as soon as they get
in, he closes it and corners Atsushi. The bespectacled boy is a bit stunned,
but can’t hold too long on this emotion, he gets traps in a passionate kiss. An
intrusive and persistence tongue keeps begging to enter into the younger’s
mouth, which after some resistance from Atsushi’ side, finally gets in. The
delicate touches, but the meticulous inspection given to Atsushi’s mouth makes
the younger squeezes and let go of a tiny moan.
Their breathings quickly accelerate and so it does the warm in their bodies.
“Sorry, couldn’t hold on any longer,” En whispers after they separate from
their kiss to breath.
Atsushi is out of his breath, he can only look at En-chan and smiles. En gets
closer and strongly hugs Atsushi. The blue haired teen is surprised by the
action, he can perceive something different in the emotion of the hug. The
taller boy stays there, he wants to have the time to taste Atsushi’s essence,
smelling it slowly and getting as close as he can.
En wants to absorb and memorize every single detail, every single trace of
Atsushi’ skin and smell.
He just wants to stay there in silence for a while, stay there enjoying their
moment, their privacy. Just staying there in perfect silence and listening to
the synchrony of their heart beats.
“I love you, Atsushi,” En says, his voice without a single trace of hesitation
and the hold of his arms gets stronger than any other time.
 Atsushi’s heart skip a beat and he wants his voice to come out and reply in
the same way that En just did, but he doesn’t have the time. En takes him and
carries him over his shoulder upstairs.
“En-chan! What are you doing?” Atsushi asks, but there’s no answer, he just can
catch what seems to be a grin on En’s expression, “En-chan, I’m heavy, let me
walk!”
“Yeah, and I’m never sleepy, just wait!” En replies with a sarcasm that makes
Atsushi pouts, but En ignores that to open the door to his bedroom.
Some people might believe that En’s laziness would make him be careless and do
things as fast as possible just to go and be free again, or some believe that
he never does anything. However, Atsushi knows that’s the biggest lie ever told
in this world, and he confirms it once En puts him down.
The room is surrounded by green and blue candles, which obviously are not
lighten up, not yet, some petals are adorning the floor and there’s a delicate
aroma going around. Did En work on all of this before going to school today?
That means that he must have woken up earlier than ever, and that also explains
why he received that text from En saying ‘I’m ready don’t come’. Atsushi looks
around the room stunned, he would have never guess that something like this was
waiting for him.
Then, strong arms are wrapped around his waist again and he also gets some
tickles on his neck once En lays his head on his shoulder. Atsushi smiles and
caresses En’s hair.
“I can’t believe you did all of this,” Atsushi comments and turns around to
kiss En who gladly lets their lips join one more time.
“If I have to be honest, mom helped a bit cuz I was running late for school,
and I didn’t want you to come for me today” En admits, the blue haired boy
chuckles at his boyfriend honesty, “Hope that doesn’t disappoint you.”
En adds and again gets closer to Atsushi’s neck, his breathing giving some
tickles to the bespectacled boy who gently shook his head.
“Disappointed? How can I be disappointed when you worked on this for me?”
Atsushi says, his voice full with excitement and gratitude, “Well, with your
mom of course, which reminds me, where is she? And your dad?”
“Family party at the other side of the country, they won’t be here for the
whole weekend… you know what that means, right?”
The grin on En’s face takes a mischievous tone and he also grips Atsushi’s butt
causing the other to yelp.
“En-chan!” protests the poor boy who is taken aback by the action.
However, En has gone back to that state in which he can’t listen to any sound
around, Atsushi knows that, and he knows he just has to go with the flow. A
flow he will always enjoy no matter what because after all, this is his En-
chan, the one he loves the most.
En carries Atsushi bridal style and the other just wraps his arms around En’s
neck. The action is slowly and careful, the blue haired teen can feel as if En-
chan was treating him like a piece of crystal who must be protected of any kind
of damaged, and he likes that.
Once they get to the futon, En bends and cautiously lays Atsushi on it. The
younger teen observe as the other just lays over him. The only thing that
Atsushi can think of at this moment is that En-chan is actually being more
romantic than ever, but that the older is actually kind of holding himself.
“En-chan are you ok?” Atsushi asks, after all he feels that something’s been
off for a while.
“Yes, I’m alright,” the taller replies and kisses Atsushi’s neck, and as fast
as he can he starts untying the tie and unbuttoning Atsushi’ shirt as well.
The kisses start going from his neck to his collarbone, and then tracing a path
from his collarbone to the lowest part of his abdomen. Atsushi’s breathing
starts being more accelerated, he cannot believe how ease En looks at the
moment, but maybe that is the older advantage for being so calm and relax all
the time.
“En-chan…” Atsushi moans, he doesn’t even know why he calls the others name, he
just does.
“Does it feel good?” En asks, his voice so seductively tempting that Atsushi
simply groans a response and En smirks as a sign of victory.
En loves this, he loves to know that he can make Atsushi feels so good, he
loves to know that the bespectacled boy can melt under his touch in a matter of
seconds. That’s why he starts working on Atsushi’s belt, he needs to keep on
moving if he wants his Atsushi to keep enjoining the moment. Before things can
actually get to heat up, En stops for a moment and moves to stay face to face
with Atsushi for a moment.
Those cerulean eyes are locked so deeply into the brown paradise of Atsushi’s
pure look that for a brief second En holds his breathing and then let it go.
The reflect on each other’s make them sigh and forget of everything around
them. It is like some kind of magic spell, a magic that only they can
understand and perform. En is the one who goes back to the action, he cannot
contain anymore and kisses again the blue haired teen. Each kiss, each touch is
always so different, is always so new for the two of them.
Their lips joining, their tongues playing among them, it doesn’t matter how
simply the kiss can be since any contact between them is always so deep and
intimate. After some playing around with their kisses, En finally parts away,
but before moving too far away he bites Atsushi’s under lip and the
bespectacled boy let out a small cry of pain.
“Sorry,” he says once that he sees Atsushi’s resentful look for how strong he
bit him, seeing his Atsushi like this is not something he enjoys, so he goes
back once again and licks the hurt lip kindly and carefully without living a
single part of the lip without the right treatment.
The blue haired teen takes a deep breath because of the action and En smiles
and playful starts taking off his own shirt. It’s inevitable for Atsushi to
blush, he cannot get over this simply action. It doesn’t matter how many times
he has seen En shirtless; he will always blush and feel his heart beating so
fast that he can swear it’ll come out of his chest at some moment.
En-chan then lies down on top of Atsushi, this is something that he loves to
do, feeling their naked skins together and getting some warm from Atsushi’s
body. After some minutes of calm, and just listening to their heart beats, En
moves down by tracing again a path through Atsushi’s torso with delicate kisses
all around and leaving one of his hands working on his boyfriend’s nipple.
En keeps his own pace, and instead of taking off Atsushi’s pants, he kisses the
lower parts of the younger through the fabric. The blue haired teen squeezes at
the sensation and grabs En’s hair and tries to pull him away. However the dirty
blond doesn’t give up and keeps his treatment against Atsushi’s will.
“You’re getting more excited, don’t you?” En teases when his lips get a bit wet
with Atsushi’s precum and the blue haired boy covers his face, “Don’t hide, I
love to see your expressions.”
Atsushi feels his heart about to explode, En’s words and voice is simply too
much for him, but still he manages to put his arm away and let En sees his face
again. The blue eyed boy smiles and kisses Atsushi’s belly and as if he could
make a magic trick, he has already undone Atsushi’s buckle and slowly removes
Atsushi’s pants and even his socks.
“How…?”
“Does it matter?” En mischievously asks and goes straight to kiss each of
Atsushi’s legs, tenderly and passionate.
“En-chan…” the boy moans as the other gives those tender kisses and keeps on
massaging his tights.
Atsushi knows that whenever they have moments like this, that lazy boy who
always wants to keep sleeping disappear. It’s as if something could take
control over En’s mind and body and all that sleepiness goes away. He tries to
look at En’s face, the boy seems so focused and determined to make him feel
good that Atsushi feels his air being caught in his throat. Especially when En,
without any previous word, starts giving him a blowjob. Atsushi grabs En’s hair
so strong that he can swear that he has pulled a few strands out.    
“En-chan… I’ll…En…sto…” there’s no much time for a warning, since Atsushi can’t
fight against the overwhelming pleasure and comes into En’s mouth.
“I’m… sorry,” Atsushi tries to whisper, his voice agitated.
“Why are you sorry? I love everything about you,” the blue eyed boy replies
while licking his mouth and looking straight to Atsushi’s eyes.
“En-chan, please don’t swallow it,” Atsushi whines and covers his face.
The older doesn’t listen to him and does as he pleases. En then takes a cloth
and cleans Atsushi’s forehead and a bit of his own mouth. Throwing it somewhere
around his bedroom, he goes straight to kiss Atsushi one more time. The
bespectacled boy being too tired of just being there without doing anything
starts unbuckling En’s belt and unbuttoning his boyfriend’s pants as well.
“Getting eager?” En asks, again that husky voice making Atsushi blush and
wanting to lose control.
The blue haired boy does not reply, he actually sits down and pushes En against
the wall.
“I’m actually tired that you are the only one taking the lead and also of being
the only one completely naked,” he replies still all blushed and flustered, but
getting enough braveness to kiss his En-chan.
The dirty blond smirks into the kiss and tries to find that bottle of lube that
he left somewhere closed to the futon. Once he finds it, he puts some into his
hands, still kissing Atsushi, still enjoining his perfect boyfriend’s
enthusiasm. En feels as Atsushi is relax and just going with the flow, so he
takes that as a sign to starts preparing his boyfriend. Atsushi let out a small
cry into the kiss when he feel the intrusion, and so En licks the upper part of
his mouth to calm him down and try to distract him.
“Are you ok?” En asks in whisper, almost in a singing like tone, and Atsushi
nods.
“Yes, you can go ahead,” Atsushi says, his voice sounds a bit drained, but as
soon as he notices En’s hesitations, he kisses him to assure him that he is
just fine.
En really takes that as the sign to go and puts in a second finger. For a
second he feels as Atsushi’s body tenses, but then as he gets to touch the most
sensitive places inside Atsushi, the boy relaxes and squeezes in En’s arms, too
lost into the pleasure that his boyfriend is giving him. The blue haired boy
wraps his arms around En’s broad back and without noticing he digs his finger
nails into En’ skin. The older doesn’t care about that since he takes it as the
perfect moment to keep on going.
En then takes again the tiny bottle and pulls out his fingers. Atsushi whines a
bit and dizzily looks straight at En, who gets momentarily lost into Atsushi’s
beautiful gaze full of lust, but contradictory carrying so much pureness. Once
he comes back into reality, he pours some lube into his cock and takes as firm
as he can Atsushi’s hips, he lifts the boy a bit and then slowly penetrates
him.
The groan that escapes from Atsushi’s mouth makes En shivers, and the dirty
blond has the immediate urge to attack his boyfriend’s neck with kisses and
even bites. Atsushi keeps clutching and trembling in En’s arms, his breathing
more and more elaborated with each action his boyfriend does. En does not stop
at all, he keeps moving his hips, kissing Atsushi’s neck, and then licking his
boyfriend’s neck, collarbone and each part he can reach. He needs to taste
Atsushi, he needs to savor his essence, he needs to assure that Atsushi is all
his.
 Atsushi is simply out of himself, he cannot think about anything else in this
moment, his voice keeps calling En’s name like a mantra, which makes the other
go even wilder. The blue haired boy just tries to hold himself, tries to keep
his voice as steady as he can, failing miserably in the attempt.
Listening to his boyfriend calling him like that, with that beautiful tone,
with that desperate intonation, just makes En mad. That voice should be a sin,
that voice should be sacred, En thinks as he keeps moving himself deeper into
Atsushi and feeling as they get to coordinate with each other’s movement.
“En-chan… I can’t…” Atsushi whispers into En’s ear, he keeps holding as strong
as he can into his boyfriend’s neck and moaning at each stroke his boyfriend
gives. He grabs to En as if his life is depending on that simple action.
“I’m sorry… just a bit more,” En hardly gets to reply and grabs Atsushi’s cock
to stroke it while he keeps pushing his member shallowly into Atsushi.
Their sweaty bodies keeps the friction of their skins, their labored breathing,
their voices calling each other, those are the noises that fill En’s room.
As soon as the taller gets to hit that one point, Atsushi can’t hold himself
any longer and tighten himself around En, his head falls back and screams En’s
name as loud as his lungs aloud him, and that sexy voice makes En cums as well.
He wraps Atsushi even stronger and hugs him tight against his chest until the
ecstasies of their climax vanishes little by little.
Slowly, both start going down into the futon. En carefully helps Atsushi to lay
down and looks for another clean cloth. Atsushi tries to normalize his
breathing, he looks lovingly and warmly at En-chan when the older cleans him as
sweetly as he can. After cleaning Atsushi’s forehead and stomach, En goes and
lays next to him, kissing Atsushi’s forehead and taking one of his hands into
his.
“I love you,” En says one more time.
“I love you too, thank you” Atsushi says and wraps his arm around En.
“I’m sorry for taking you like this… I think it’s not fair… but…”
“I don’t care… I… I actually like it… whenever you have the initiative to do
this, I like it… it’s like our blue moon… just like the color of your eyes,”
Atsushi talks and makes En blush more than any other time.
“Our blue moon?” the taller questions.
“Yes, a beautiful blue moon.”
Atsushi replies and kisses En’s nose, the boy smiles and strongly hugs his
boyfriend.
“Then, let’s have a many blue moons as we can,” En says while grinning.
“En-chan, do you know the meaning of “Once in a blue moon”?”
“Not really, but who cares?”
That’s the taller replies and Atsushi simply giggles. It doesn’t matter, after
all… that’s the En-chan he loves, and both keep hugging each other and falling
sleep into each other’s hold.

                             In a peaceful forest
It is a cold autumn night. There’s nothing else between themselves.
There’s only the sound of the cold wind rustling the leaves and making them
dance through all the surroundings, creating a slow music with a lovely and
beautiful rhythm.
But besides that, there’s nothing else that can overcome the beauty of the
moment, that is what Atsushi believes as he feels En’ skin over his own. They
are alone, outside the city in a hut that is in the middle of a forest. Nothing
else matters to them when they are together, nothing else matters to them when
they are having these kind of intimate moments.
Atsushi sighs and shivers as he feels En’s hot breath on his neck, but he has
no time to talk or react, En gives him a passionate kiss, linking their lips,
savoring their tastes. The older caresses the blue haired boy with such a
tender feeling that Atsushi can’t help but sigh and smile at En. It’s been
always like this, En is always treating him as if he was made of the most
fragile crystal, sometimes he wonders why, but he has never been able to find
the answer. He has never been able to ask En the reason why he treats him like
this. Then, he comes back down to Earth when En intertwines his fingers through
the blue hair and locked his eyes with Atsushi’s. Blue and brown meeting each
other and lingering there as if the moment could be shattered by simply
blinking. Just a few seconds after being almost hypnotized by their own eyes,
En’s hand travel through Atsushi’s body to touch, to feel, to show to the
bespectacled boy how much he loves him with his actions, since he has never
considered himself good at speaking up his feelings. They move at each other’s
rhythm, they move as if the wind is also giving them the perfect cue and melody
to change their positions and adjust themselves in a dance dedicated to love.
“I love you,” En suddenly says, “Sometimes, I feel like I don’t say it enough,
so let me say it now, I love you.”
Atsushi is left without words, En kisses him again and traces a path of gentle
sweet kisses through his jawline down to his collarbone; the blue haired boy is
letting some moans and tiny whimpers out. Atsushi breaths out and takes En’s
face with his hands; for a moment he looks at the other and his eyes expresses
all the love he cannot pronounce through words. Impulse by the moment Atsushi
keeps cupping En’s face with his hands and makes it come closer to kiss him; he
first gives a kiss to his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, and lastly his lips.
The bespectacled boy has never been good with expressing his feelings either,
but he knows En understands him, he knows they can understand each other
without the need of words.
They know each other, they know they can spend all night just kissing each
other and holding themselves closed to the other and never get tired of it. En
leans on Atsushi’s chest, he snuggles and breaths Atsushi’s scent, a smell he
could recognize anywhere, a smell that he won’t ever get tired of. En takes one
of Atsushi’s hand and kisses it, he then traces little circles on Atsushi’s
hand and looks at him, getting momentarily lost in that brown paradise that he
has been in loved with for such a long time. The boy chuckles thinking about
that time when he was so desperate to know which Atsushi’s eye color was, and
having so many troubles to finally find it out; Atsushi looks at him surprise.
However, before Atsushi can demand an answer, En goes back to kiss him.
Lost in his memories, En thinks about the first time he dared to kiss Atsushi,
the shy and surprised blush that covered Atsushi’s cheeks in that moment. How
scared he felt for not knowing how Atsushi would react back then. He also
remembers the day after that when he asked him to be his boyfriend, all those
special moments being reproduced like the most beautiful movie in the back of
his mind. They have gone through so many things, and even if the obstacles were
sometimes too big for him to handle, he knows all of them were worth the price,
his Atsushi, only his.
On the other hand, Atsushi is mesmerized by En’s actions, the way they kiss,
the way their bodies rub against each other, and his attention also gets lost
in the sudden music that their agitated breathings are creating.
Suddenly En comes over Atsushi, and presses his body completely against
Atsushi. The time stops for the umpteenth time for the blue haired man on that
day. They have been like this several times, but still Atsushi gets all
flustered and nervous whenever he feels trapped by En’s body. One more kiss,
Atsushi knows he is capable of swearing that he will never get tired of this,
that he does not care if he feels his lips swollen, or even if he feels that
his lips are already numb. Because the sweet taste of En’s lips, the delicious
essence that lingers on his skin every time they touch, it’s never enough for
him.
“Do you want to do it today?”
The questions echoes on Atsushi’s mind, and in a blink of an eye he has so many
thoughts. First, he thinks that En has always been the most considerate
boyfriend he could ever wish for, he always asks him if he wants to go ahead or
if it is right for them to do it. Then, he thinks about their first time, it’s
crazy, he can’t believe himself and the fact that he always has that memory
whenever En asks that question. He also thinks about En’s expression, such an
interesting mixture of a pleading innocence with such a provocative and erotic
voice, how comes En is capable of doing such an opposite things at once?
Atsushi comes out of his thoughts when he feels En’s hand travelling down and
caressing his tight. Well, maybe En can be considerate, but not patient.
“Yes,” the blue haired boy replies and kisses his boyfriend.
It always starts with lots of kisses and with an exchange of gestures to show
to each other how much they value their presence and feelings. En’s whole body
keeps being over Atsushi’s, his arms look like a shield protecting the other
from any possible danger around, his legs around the other and pushing them
tight against Atsushi’s leg. For a moment, En lies over Atsushi again, letting
all his weight fall into his boyfriend, which gives them the opportunity to
feel their bodies being this closed. Their temperatures rising up and their
breathings becoming more elaborated.
En goes again and kisses him one more time, Atsushi takes the opportunity to
surround with his arms En’s neck. Nonetheless, even if Atsushi wants to keep
holding on to En, the other escapes his hold and kisses him on his chest,
abdomen and lower parts, letting him be a moaning mess who pants and begs to
have some air into his lungs, En’s tongue also going around licking and teasing
the younger boy. That’s another one of En’s characteristics, he can take things
too sweet and slow, but he can suddenly turn into some kind of predator that is
too desperately and eager to get what he wants. It does not matter which mode
leads En’s actions, Atsushi loves them all.
“En-chan…” Atsushi whimpers, he loves En’s movements, he loves the way he
kisses him, the way his hands travel around his body and how he can feel his
hot body all over him.  
He is completely crazy about it, and he does not care about worrying with his
own obsession over En.
With no previous warning, En spreads Atsushi’s legs and in a sudden motion he
takes all of Atsushi’ shaft in his mouth. Immediately the other boy gasps and
is left with no air at all, trying too desperately to hold into his boyfriend’
sandy hair and beg for some mercy in that way. There’s no point, once that En
has started, there’s no way to stop him. En goes up and down, touching, licking
and working hard to please his boyfriend, the bespectacled boy can only listen
to his heart beating fast and even if he would like to ignore it, he also
listens to those sounds that are made by En’s actions, which only makes him
feel more aroused. Atsushi falls on the mattress and frantically grabs a pillow
to try and muffle the sounds that are coming out of his mouth, cries of
pleasure and agony that little by little are leaving him with no voice.
Even if En is busy making his lover feel good, he can notice Atsushi’s action
and he does not like it. With a swift movement, he grabs the pillow and throws
it away. Atsushi’s face is completely red and sweaty, his hair sticking all
over his forehead; the blue haired boy looks with half lidded and pleading eyes
to En so he can allow him to hide himself again. The taller boy smirks at the
expression that he loves so much and stops his job for one moment. En simply is
too hypnotized to see Atsushi melting under his touch and becoming a squirming
mess under his body.
“Haven’t you understand that I love everything about yourself? That I love to
listen to you, that I love looking at your face, feeling your body, being one
with you, I love everything! Please don’t hide anything away from me, I love
you,” En expresses his slowly movements tracing around Atsushi’s body like some
kind of feline.
“En-chan.”
The blue haired boy puts his hands over his face, he can’t still believe the
things En says to him, this happens almost all the time they get to do it, but
Atsushi seems not to be able to get used to it. Then, En simply goes up and
pulls apart Atsushi’s hands from his face. He kisses Atsushi one more time and
with his hands he caresses Atsushi’s legs. En will not ever get tired of
remembering Atsushi how perfect he is, because he seriously believes that his
lover is the most perfect human being that there can ever be on Earth.
Before they pull apart from the kiss, En bites Atsushi’s lower lip and caresses
it with his tongue that is like his trademark, and the blue haired boy knows
that En just wants to go ahead. However, before proceeding as Atsushi is
expecting, En lingers a bit more; and in a lovely way he delicate smells
Atsushi’s neck, nuzzling and sighing closed to his lover ear. The blue haired
teen shivers a bit because of the hot breath that makes such a sudden contact
with his skin. Just seconds after that, En licks around Atsushi’s ear up to his
jawline to later come back and bites Atsushi’s earlobe.
“En-cha…” the boy can’t get to finish, he is panting and his body is trembling
under En’s hands.
“Tell me, I’m here to make you happy,” En says with a hoarse voice and his lips
about to touch Atsushi’s.
“Just kiss me… please,” even if it is a simple request, En smirks and happily
complies what he is asked to do.
Their bodies rubbing each other giving them more warmth than what they can
actually bear, but it does not matter to any of them. Unexpectedly, En slides
his finger into Atsushi. Immediately, spasms runs through all of Atsushi’s body
and making him arch his back. En smirks, the view his having is glorious and he
loves it more than anything else. Atsushi holds to his lover, leaving sloppy
kisses at any part he can reach of En’ skin.
Quickly, but gently, En prepares Atsushi, showering him with kisses, caresses
and sweet, lovely words to remind him of how much he loves him. The
bespectacled boy knows that if it would be possible he would have already
melted under the magnificent lips and hands that belongs to En.
“En-chan… please… do it,” Atsushi whispers, his voice is weak and he
practically chocked at the moment of speaking, his eyes begging for mercy, but
having that delicious touch of lustful desire.
En’ smirk couldn’t be more satisfying, he loves when Atsushi loosens up and is
completely open with what he wants. He takes a last view to Atsushi’s figure
lying down and happily recording the image on his mind. Softly, the taller man
grabs Atsushi by the hips, being careful enough and keeping with the kisses to
his lover. Then, in a smooth quick motion he pushes himself into Atsushi.
Atsushi cries loudly sending shivers through En’s body, making his lover hold
his breath and also making him stop for a moment before he can actually starts
moving. After a moment, En breathes in again, being capable enough of thinking
again and starting his motions, going slowly, listening to Atsushi’ small
whimpers and trying to make his boyfriend feel as good as he can.   
There’s not only the sound of the cold wind anymore rustling the leaves, now
the wind is accompanied by groaning, moaning, and two lovers calling each
other’s name, reciting sweet words to each other.
The dancing has changed to a faster motion, in which the rhythm matches the
euphoric chanting and heavy panting.
The quietness of the place is suddenly disturbed, both men too desperately, too
hungry for each other, trying to satisfy their needs, trying to extinguish the
never ending thirst for each other. Tasting themselves, biting, licking,
kissing, everything is valid once they get lost into the action of being just
one self. Of being together and expressing their love for each other like this.
The dancing moves, their rhythms are in perfect synchrony, En goes closer to
Atsushi and bites his ear, the blue haired cries out and heavily pants, he is
reaching his point and En knows it. That’s why, the older teen starts licking
and nibbling Atsushi’s ear, his hands working also on his boyfriend nipples and
shaft. For a tiny second Atsushi wonders how En can do so many things at the
same time, but when the older shifts their positions and makes him sits on his
lap, Atsushi lets go of every single thing on his mind. Now, his mind is
completely blank, En has found that sweet spot that makes him see everything
white and all he can do is hold onto En’s broad back, digging his nails on it
and sliding his fingers through it, biting En’ shoulder to muffled himself, and
wrapping his legs around En’s torso as strong as he can, giving as many kisses
as possible, even if the kisses are completely messed and sloppy, he also wants
to show to En how much he loves him. Atsushi is frantically trying to last a
bit longer, trying to enjoy the pleasant sensation that is being given to him,
but failing to hold with every thrust that En gives, he chokes, he tries to
yell, his voice being completely mute by the lustful pleasure.
“En!” Atsushi screams almost sobbing, lost by the lust, his head falling
backwards at the moment he cums and his arms falling into his sides, unable to
hold by himself any longer and simply moaning at the amazing feeling that En
has given him.
En hugs Atsushi tighter and thrusts a couple of times more until he also gets
blinded by his own climax, being totally defeated by Atsushi’s beautiful form,
getting satisfied by looking the spasms that runs through his boyfriend’s
trembling body. Taking advantage of the last strength that he has left, he lies
Atsushi down in bed and he does the same. Kissing the boy and caressing his
hair, cleaning the sweat and moving the hair that is stick to the boy’s
forehead.
“I love you,” En repeats, he kisses Atsushi one more time and grabs the boy’s
hands.
“I love you too,” the blue haired boy weakly says while he smiles, his voice is
hoarse because of all the screaming; and his eyes seems to be about to close at
any moment.
They look at each other for a brief moment and then En stands up, as always he
looks for anything that can help them to clean. Once he has found some clothes
and other blankets he comes back. It’s been almost a year since they started
dating, it’s been almost a year of this kind of things going on, and still
Atsushi can’t believe how incredible awesome En is. He cleans both of them, he
delicate takes Atsushi out of the bed and sits him on a couch near the bed for
a moment to cover the bed with clean white blankets and again he lies Atsushi
down, just to showering with more kisses to show his love to Atsushi. What is
left of the night goes like that, both kissing and hugging.
The bespectacled boy is not sure of when, he just knows that they fall asleep
after kissing, they sleep holding into each other and being as closed as
possible. However, even if he knows that, he can’t answer himself about where
En is when he wakes up the following day. Atsushi tries to sit down, but
apparently, last night was pretty intense, more than usual, and he feels a
sudden pain on his back when he sits. Almost when he is about to call En to see
where he could be, the sandy haired boy comes into their room.
He comes in, he is already wearing a t-shirt and some sweatpants, and he is
also carrying a tray, having breakfast on it and smiling. That beautiful,
gentle smile that makes Atsushi melt.
“Morning,” En says and sits next to Atsushi, “how do you feel?”
“Good morning… well… to be honest a bit sore, but I’m ok, so don’t worry
please,” Atsushi quickly says and to his surprise En nods.
“I… well…first, are you cold? Do you want a blanket?” En asks him and then
Atsushi knows that En was trying to hide his usual concern for him, but as it
is seen, it is not possible for him.
“It’s a bit chilly, but I’m ok,” even if he says that, En goes to get him an
extra blanket and puts it around him, “Thanks,” he smiles at En and leans his
head on his boyfriend’s arm.
“So… do you wanna eat?”
Atsushi enthusiastically nods, but he is curious about En’s shy tone of voice,
it’s not something usual. Nonetheless, once he takes a look at the tray, he
understands the reason why.
In the middle of the tray, there’s a tiny box that is wrapped with green paper
and a light blue ribbon that decorates the upper part. Atsushi blushes and
gasps, is that…
“En-chan…” he whispers.
The other boy awkwardly smiles and takes the little box into his hands,
suddenly once again the only thing that can be heard is the wind rustling the
leaves and creating the perfect melody for the moment. With shaky hands En
opens the box and goes down on his knees.
“Atsushi… would you spend the rest of your life with me, would you marry me?”
Inside the box there’s a ring, a winged heart ring with a turquoise gem.
“Yes!” Atsushi’s voice cringes and he throws himself to En.
In the morning light they decide to join their lives, remembering how much they
love each other, remembering every moment since the day they met. The sound of
the wind accompanies, making the leaves dance, making their hearts being
overflow with emotions of happiness and love. They laid back, closing their
eyes, holding their hands, and hearing the “clack” of both rings when making
contact with each other. Comforted by the sound of the falling leaves, each
leave representing a memory, each leave announcing future days full of
happiness for both of them. It’s the perfect ending for a new beginning of a
beautiful love story.
