Love is in the air / Isagi Yoichi

"...I love you."

He's confused, baffled, even.

Isagi Yoichi had no idea why he had said it. Maybe it was in the moment. Yeah, he was far into the moment. Or not? He didn't deny the pumping feeling in his chest as he spoke those three words, nor did he with the heat on his creeping on his ears and neck.

'What perfect timing', he had thought. The fireworks at the festival were dancing in the black canvas of a sky, reflecting on his blue eyes.

The boy across from him stood with a parted mouth, opening and closing it like a fish out of water. His rapid blinking and sputtering didn't surprise Isagi-- not in the least.

He half expected him to run away, he half expected to get his heartbroken that night, what he hadn't expected was the return of those words.

"I... I love you too."
