ch8 - you really love mentioning how I love you

"That is repulsive."

"You still love me though."

"That fact doesn't change the fast you are eating solid grease on a stick."

"It's a deepfide baw of dough, not saued geese!" (It's a deep fried ball of dough, not solid grease!)

It had been about a half hour since Byakuya had confessed to Yasuhiro. The blond was finally able to regain his composure -and fix his hair. Yasuhiro then insisted on getting dinner. What Byakuya got was a cup of cheap coffee-which was subpar but still edible, just not ideal-and an apple. Yasuhiro got deep fried pizza, deep fried chocolate, deep fried ice -which was somehow a thing- and deep fried dough.

Needless to say, Byakuya was rather concerned for his-

His what? They hadn't been over what they were yet. He considered Yasuhiro a hookup-buddy for a while, then an acquaintance, the object of his affection, and now what?

"Yasuhiro, what would you label us as?"

The brunette looks up at Byakuya with a deep fried pizza he's holding in his mouth.

He quickly swallows it.

"Boyfriends? What else would we be?"

"I wasn't sure, I mean we haven't clarified anything."

"Well, I love you, and you love me, right?"

"You really love mentioning how I love you."

"Yeah! I mean I've really liked you for like... God knows how long! And-"

"We've barely known each other for a month."

"Well that's been a while for me! And as I was saying, I've been in love with you since... Remember at your place when you were telling me about how you liked watching Ludenberg paint? Well I think it all just started making sense then! When a person talks about something they're passionate about or just something they enjoy, you really just see them in a whole new way. I already knew I liked you then so I think just seeing you light up like that just really pushed me over the edge."

Byakuya just nodded and sipped on his coffee. It all felt so surreal, I mean a month ago, Yasuhiro was just some guy who was pissing Byakuya off because he took so long getting hard, and now he can say with all certainty that he is in love with that man and he dropped everything for him.

"What about you? When'd you realize?"

Byakuya hated talking about feelings. He'd suppressed any type of emotions inside of him for so long. Yasuhiro just made him so weak like nobody else could.

"I believe the moment I started to actually develop feelings for you was that night at the aquarium. I thought your stupid grin while explaining why I reminded you of that octopus was- stop," Yasuhiro wears a shit eating grin, knowing what Byakuya's going to say next.

"Stop or I won't say it."

Yasuhiro stopped.

"I found it cute. I only realized I liked you a bit before You came to my house that one day though. I was talking with Kirigiri and Kuwata and just realised some things."

"When did you realize you loved me though?"

"When you were fixing my hair a few moments ago."
