Love? (Uzui Tengen x Kyojuro Rengoku)

Chapter 7

✓ Third POV

"C'mon Uzui I'm fine!" Kyojuro shouted blushed hiding his face between the crook of the taller males neck. "No your not Kyojuro." Uzui said gently laying Kyojuro on the futon. "No buts Kyo I was the one that hurt you."

"How do you know that?"

✓Uzui POV

My body froze. 'Shit.' I looked up at him knowing I couldn't play it off. "I know how you feel about the hot spring incident." I looked down in shame. "You were avoiding me for a month Kyojuro,I thought you were disgusted." My voice strated to crack once again.

"You knew?" He asked,and I didn't like the tone he used. "You knew how it made me feel." Tears started to pool up in his eyes to. "I'm sorry." Was all I muttered. "I was being selfish,I let my desire to have my way blind me from your feelings." Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Uzui this morning remember what you told me?" He asked cupping my cheeks. "Y-yeah." I stared at him as he rubbed my tears away. "Maybe you dont remember because you said yourself that your my best friend." He poked where my heart was.

"You wanna know why I'm crying?" He asked with a soft smile. "No I already know it's because of me,I hurt you." I turned my head away. "Yes it's because of you,but it's because your suffering because of me." He wiped the tears. "Your my best friend Uzui,one of the best,if not the best." He pulled me into his chest.

"I have something to tell you." Both of us said at the same time. I looked up at him making our eyes meet.

"I love you."

Once again at the same time.

"But.......

Same time.

"You go first." I told him obviously not taking no for an answer.

"I'm scared,after that hot spring incident I actually thought someone loved me for me,not some prodigy son or elder brother but for me,I avoided you because I thought you wanted a one night stand. But when we went on our mission I thought that would fix our relationship into a serious one. But when you didn't acknowledge my feelings that broke me,and it hurt. I'm not sure if I want to go through that again. I don't think I'm ready."

"I-I don't think I'm worthy of your love. Heck I have three wives and I'm not even sure if they love me or if I'm worth their love. I hurt you so bad to the point your considering weather you should be in a relationship. In reality I'm a piece of shit that doesn't deserve anything. I'm not even worth the title of the most flamboyant pillar. That title could go to any pillar even Tomioka's a better pillar than me. I'm sorry."

There was nothing but silence between us,an uncomfortable silence. Seconds later a sting made its way to my cheek. "That's why your sulking,Uzui you are the most flamboyant pillar it's not you it's just that I'm being sensitive. I promise I'll be with you in the end." He inched our faces closer.

Soon after our lips met. His lips,mine and passion being the only formula in the kiss. "I promise." He leaned our foreheads together.
