As night brushed upon Okinawa, the secret members of S gathered together as they usually did, skating, beefing, betting and cheering.

"Hey Joe I challenge you to a beef!" Cherry Blossom challenged as soon as Joe came in through the gates.

"What? Why? What's in it for me?" Joe asked as he stretched out his muscles. It's been a while since he was last here.

"You've been acting weird recently, if I win I want to find out what's been bothering you!" Cherry Blossom was determined to find out why Kojiro had been acting so out of it and distant.

Joe's eyes widened in shock, he didn't think Kaoru would ever care about how he's feeling. Even so his thoughts and feelings weren't things he could come out and say to his long time friend and one sided love. He quietly chuckled, "I'm fine though, so this beef would be pointless."

"You lying gorilla!" Cherry Blossom grabbed Joe's ear, twisting it between his fingers.

"Ah! Ok! Ok! I'll do it! I'll do it! So damn violent four eyes!" Joe beamed, finally a genuine smile Kaoru had seen on his face in a while.

"But what do I get if I win?" Joe asked as they prepared themselves at the starting point.

"I'll be your slave for a week, not that that's going to happen because I'm going to win," Cherry Blossom smirked.

"Deal! We'll just have to see who the winner is, won't we?" Joe winked at him.

-

"Wow! I didn't know using props to win was your thing now Cherry," Joe was out of breath as he sat on the ground at the finishing line.

"It isn't but today I had to make sure I win and I did," Joe could see Kaoru was smiling under his mask. Joe was now thinking of different lies he could tell Kaoru, when they have their talk.

Cherry Blossom reached out his hand in front of Joe, the latter took it as he was pulled up. "Let's go somewhere else, somewhere quiet," Cherry Blossom led the way, Joe silently followed behind.

-

The cold wind danced around Kaoru and Kojiro as they stood below the bridge they would come to as teens.

"Kojiro how are you?" Kaoru asked softly as he broke the silence. Turning his head to look towards the taller man.

"I'm fine Kaoru, I've just been busy that's all," Joe answered as he continued to look ahead.

"Why do you still insist on lying?! You think I can't tell from looking at you, you're not fine!" Kaoru was fighting back the urge to shout.

"I'm fine Kaoru... really," Kojiro gave him a side smile.

"I'm your friend Kojiro! You won't even tell your friend?!" Kaoru looked hurt.

"It's because you're my friend I can't tell you," Kojiro mumbled quietly, but Kaoru heard what he said.

"What?!"

"Nothing," Kojiro turned around now fully giving his attention to Kaoru.

"When do you plan to tell Adam about your feelings?" Kojiro asked as he smiled at his long time one sided love. Though he was smiling, his eyes held longing and sadness. He leaned against the rail, looking up at the starless sky.

"Kojiro what nonsense are you spouting?!" Kaoru was completely shocked by Kojiro's words.

"You're in love with Adam aren't you?" Kojiro's voice cracked, looking down at his hands.

"Do you even know what you're saying Kojiro?" Kaoru asked, confused.

"You've been in love with Adam since we were teens. I remember that day, the way you looked at him when he caught you in his arms."

"Are you an idiot Kojiro?" Kaoru snapped.

"Yeah... maybe I am. An idiot for falling in love with someone who already loves someone else," Kojiro sighed. As soon as those words came out of his mouth he regretted them, 'now I won't even have him by my side as a friend, great going Kojiro you idiot,' he thought to himself.

Kaoru grabbed Kojiro's face in between his hands, pulling him closer making them at the same eye level. Kojiro could feel Kaoru's warmth seeping through his face and into his heart.

"You idiot! I don't know what kind of nonsense you came up about me and Adam but I don't and would never like someone like him. It's you, you idiot! You're the one I'm in love with! It's you! No one else but you! You own my heart, you have since the very beginning!"

Kojiro froze as he listened to Kaoru's confession, his heart was beating so heavy he was sure he could hear it. Kojiro was so taken back that he didn't reply to Kaoru's confession, his emotions were all rushing through to his heart making it beat faster and faster.

"Hey! Did you hear me?! I love you, you damn gorilla!" Kaoru shouted as he pinched Kojiro's cheeks.

'Y-yes I heard you," Kojiro placed his own hands on top of Kaoru's, stroking them with his thumbs.

Kojiro let out a satisfied sigh. "I love you Kaoru. Remember third grade when you and your family first moved in next door. You and your mum came over to give homemade treats. You were so shy, hiding behind her legs but when you came out and I first laid my eyes on you, my heart was beating uncontrollably, you were the most beautiful person I'd ever seen in my life. I completely fell in love with you at first sight. I've loved you ever since. I tried to forget about these feelings over the years as I messed around with other people but my heart always sought you. I love you Kaoru, it can't be anyone else but you." Kojiro breathed out as he looked at Kaoru lovingly, pulling him into a warm embrace.

The two clung onto one another, breathing in each other's scent. 'This is where I belong,' they thought to themselves happily.

Kaoru chuckled, as he moved his head back to look at Kojiro. "You know what's funny, on that same day when we first met you showed me that big goofy smile of yours and I couldn't help but fall in love with you."

"My first love"

Hi there loves!

I'm back with a new oneshot for another couple. Let's give it up for Joe and Cherry Blossom whoop whoop!! I really had to write something like this to feed my own thoughts and feelings. Of course there's that theory going around that Cherry was in love with Adam (I'm not very fond of Adam lol) but through this fanfic I just wanted to make sure that it's Joe and Cherry from the start you know? I hope you guys can understand where I'm coming from haha, of course this is my opinion and you're allowed to have your own. On a serious note I hope you enjoyed this oneshot as much as I enjoyed writing it. It's been a while since I last wrote a oneshot but here it is!

Important - This isn't a oneshot book which is continuous and takes requests. I do however have some special oneshots ready for this beautiful couple, please look forward to them!

If you enjoyed this please show me a lot of love by; Voting, Commenting and adding to your reading lists.
