* weird little mitsukou oneshots </3

* slight Mitsuba angst

Cw - mention of bullying, mention of n0nc0n but nothing graphic its just implied to be something Mitsuba is afraid of like in cannon! :(

Summary: just slight hurt/comfort that ends in a clumsy confession
Alt: how many times will Frisk write a mitukou confession

I just realised while editing that this makes no sense without backstory which unfortunately I forgot so lets just say Mitsuba ran into his bullies at school and freaked out or sum idk why I just started with him panicking HAHSBFB anyways have fun bye

Kou gripped Mitsuba's hand tightly, staring at him in slight panic.
"Hey hey, Mitsuba, remember what we practiced? Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, and breathe out for 8, alright? Wanna do it together?"
Mituba let out a sob and nodded, his chest going up and down rapidly.
Kou grinned nervously and stopped walking, not letting go of his taller companions' hand.
He exaggerated his breaths, allowing Mitsuba to follow along.
He smiled slightly in relief when he noticed Mitsuba's chest started slowing down.
"Good job. Let's continue walking now, alright?" Kou smiled.
Mitsuba gave him a wobbly smile in return, squeezing Kou's hand as they continued on to his house. Kou's house.
Kou stole glances at Mitsuba as they walked, Mitsuba slightly swinging their hands to distract himself from his panic attack. He felt terrible. He didn't do anything, in fact he prevented said thing from happening, but he still felt terrible. He wished those fuckers would simply leave his best friend alone. Mitsuba didn't deserve any of this.
"I-Is it really a-all right for me to spend the n-night?" Mitsuba asked quietly, his pink eyes refusing to part from staring at their intertwinted hands.
"Of course it is! I'm always happy to have you over." Kou grinned, though it was shaky and awkward, as he was not any less concerned as before.
A small smile formed on Mitsuba's face as he nodded, wiping his eyes on his sleeve.
It didnt take long for them to arrive at Kou's house, afterall, he lived close to the school.
As usual, upon entering, Teru didn't bother to greet Kou, and he just nodded and went to his room.
Kou wasn't concerned about Teru's lack of care towards him. Its always been like that. And besides, Mitsuba is more important right now.
He brought him up the stairs to his room, sitting him down on the bed, before flopping onto his back beside him. Mitsuba didn't lay down, instead, continuing to sit awkwardly, staring into Kou's eyes.
The two stayed in peaceful silence. Mitsuba fidgeted with his sleeves.
"...C-Can I go use your shower? My hair feels gross.." he mumbled.
"Yeah dude!! Do you want to borrow my clothes? I'm sure I can wash yours-"
"Nah, your clothes are too small." Mitsuba smirked.
"Wh- Hey!! Im not that short!"
Mitsuba laughed, "Y-Yeah, if you don't mind I'd like to borrow your clothes."
Kou nodded, watching Mitsuba slowly leave the room.
-
Mitsuba sat beside Kou on his bed, watching a movie. He didn't care about the movie much. He would rather watch Kou. He wished he could stare at him without having to explain himself, like he could in class.
He knew Kou wouldn't question him now, but he hated the nervous smile Kou gave him whenever he was caught looking at him.
He couldn't not stare at Kou like that. He was pretty! And not pretty like a girl, he was pretty like... Kou. Mitsuba couldn't compare him to anything. It was like admiring a painting for its beauty. Except, usually the painting hasn't had you pawning over it since you saw it, and it doesn't smile at you nervously, before looking away all flustered when you look at it.
..Yeah, it was nothing like admiring a painting.
Mitsuba yawned. He wanted to put his head on Kou's shoulder and fall asleep to the feeling of Kou running his hands through Mitsuba's long pink hair.
"...Im sorry, are you bored? Do you not like the movie? We can watch something else! I just thought-"
Mitsuba frowned. He just now remembered this was a movie Kou was really excited to show him. He was being an asshole.
"No, no! The movies great, I really like it! I-Im just tired, I'm sorry."
"Oh! Why didn't you say something earlier? I would've let you sleep instead of making you watch a movie." Kou smiled sheepishly.
He stood up, turning off the tv.
"I can sleep on the couch, you can have the bed," Kou smiled, "Goodni-"
Mitsuba's eyes widened, as he grabbed onto Kou's arm before he could move, "N-No. I don't want to be alone. N-Not after earlier. I'll freak out or something."
Kou frowned, turning to face Mitsuba, "Oh. I can sleep on the floor, then. That way I'm right beside you! And if you need anything, I'm right there."
Mitsuba felt heat rise to his cheeks as he shook his head, "N-No.. You need to be closer. There's n-nothing wrong with u-us sharing a bed, r-right?"
Kou turned scarlet, "o-oh,, yeah, if you're comfortable with that! I just thought you-"
"Im not u-uncomfortable around you, Kou. I know y-you won't do anything weird to me, I trust you. P-Please don't leave me tonight."
Kou smiled, "Tonight or ever, you know I won't. If thats what you want, of course!! I'll take this side, you can have that one."
Mitsuba nodded, rolling to face the wall.
Mitsuba shut his eyes. He was too busy thinking to actually fall asleep.
He layed for what felt like an hour with peaceful silence to keep him focused on thinking about the blonde boy beside him, before he heard a shuffle.
He felt a hand on his cheek.
"Hah... I love you, Mitsuba. So much."
He heard Kou sigh.
"...I wish I could tell you when you were awake. Pathetic, haha... youre so pretty."
Kou took his hand off Mitsuba's face and kissed his forehead softly.
"Goodnight, my love."
Mitsuba heard Kou lay back on his side, shifting to face away from Mitsuba.
Mitsuba waited a second, before bursting into laughter. He sat up, facing Kou, who shot around to face Mitsuba, tense.
"Really? You waited until you thought I was asleep to be all pervy like that?!"
"Wh- N-No, it wasn't like th-"
"Calm down, I know. Whyd you wait until you thought I was asleep to do that, loser? I'd be fine with you doing that when I'm awake."
"Wh- ah??? You would???"
Mitsuba flushed, "...I like you too, Kou. I've liked you since we met, you know?"
"...You have?"
"Yeah."
They stared into eachother's eyes, before they both awkwardly giggled.
Kou moved closer to Mitsuba and replaced his hand on his cheek, bringing his face closer to him. Mitsuba scooted closer to Kou, grabbing onto his face aswell. The losers brought their faces together into a kiss, one that lasted much too long.
They only broke away from the kiss when they ran out of breath.
When they caught their breath, Mitsuba looked back at Kou, "...Can we do that again?"
The two continued to kiss and take breaks to breathe for about two hours like idiots, before they both got tired and layed back down, this time in eachother's arms.
Kou kissed Mitsuba on the forehead, making the taller boy huff and turn red.
"I love you. Goodnight, Mitsuba."
"Goodnight. Love you."
The two fell asleep almost immediately as five minutes ago they had only just ended a two hour long kissing session.
