CHAPTER 12.

And they couldn't stop thinking about it.
I mean, of course anyone would want to kiss their crush, but what it really what Tsukishima wanted? It didn't seem like it. To them at least.

And Yamaguchi thought, and thought, for about a week or so, and they still couldn't decide what to do. Of course, the safest and honestly best move, was to ignore what Akiteru had said HOWEVER... like I just said, who wouldn't want to kiss their crush? And if anything went wrong, just say it's all Akiteru's fault. After all... the two brother didn't seem to like each other that much.
That was such a messed up thing to do, though.
They changed their mind and settled on telling him it was one of Mina's dares if anything went wrong. If they decided to actually do it, which in itself wasn't decided yet.

Of course, they had dreamed about it, thought about it a lot, but they were still a stupid, unexperienced and horny teenager, after all. They just couldn't be brave enough to make a decision. So they decided to ask Moe.

- « Do you want to do it? »

- « Of course I do! »

- « So, you're not doing it because his brother told you to? »

- « I don't think so. »

- « Well then, you should definitely try. That's how romance usually starts... I think? »

She was as inexperienced as they were. But that was enough to convince them.
They just really wanted it to work. They were ready to be a little pushy about it if they had too. Not too much obviously, but compared to Tsukishima's daily flirting, it seemed like nothing much. And at that point, they were almost certain the blonde wasn't straight either. This shouldn't be too hard.

Or so they thought. Two weeks after deciding they were moving along with it, still nothing had happened.
There had been a couple of moments when they thought it was finally it... but it just always turned out bad.

One day, they were researching stuff about kissing online, since they had only done it once and well, with Mina so... yeah.
Then, Tsukishima arrived home and they thought maybe, just maybe, it was gonna happen right there.

- « What you reading? » he looked over their shoulder.

- « Nothing. » Yamaguchi turned, now standing like 6 inches from the other's face.

They had trouble breathing, was this it? It seemed like such a random moment. Maybe that was the secret of it? They wouldn't know but they felt their heart beating louder than usual in their chest. They knew it was all so stupid, that this wasn't some shoujo manga shit, but they couldn't turn back now. That would be even more humiliating.
They remembered what the article had said: look at your partner right in the eyes. And so they did. And they may or may not have forgot to blink.

By the time, they had gathered all the courage they needed, small tears had already formed in the corner of their eyes.

- « You're crying ,Tadashi. »

And then the entire thing was ruined. They turned 50 shades darker and mumbled something under their breath. Damn it.
After that, Tsukki just went to sleep, not even bothering to check on his roommate. Well, he couldn't possibly have known.

The second time Yamaguchi tried to make a move, it wasn't as subtle. They had read an article about how "setting the mood" was important if you wanted to make the kiss as good as possible.
