"S-Sunny..." Basil managed to cough out between the tears cascading down his cheeks.

Sunny pulled him into a hug. It had been so long since he hugged Sunny. At least four or five years. When Mari...

Basil remembered Sunny's smell. It was comforting. His clothes smelled slightly of lavender. It was nice. Basil had longed for the times when him and all his friends would cuddle and hang out in Sunny's room; he had so many plushies that they all loved to hug.

Basil buried his face into Sunny's neck, wrapping his arms around Sunny's small frame. Sunny stroked his head.

"Sunny... I'm so sorry- I."

"Basil..." Sunny whispered.

Basil looked up at Sunny. His charcoal eyes(well, eye) met Basil's bright blue ones. It almost seemed as if Sunny was on the verge of tears.

"Past..." he started. Sunny had never been that good with words. "It's in... the past."

"Sunny. How- how can you forgive me after..."

Suddenly Sunny gripped Basil's shoulders tightly, pushing him back a bit. He stared at Basil.

"You promised that we would be there for each other. I don't care about what you did..." he said in a harsh tone.

Basil just... Sat there for a second.

"Please..." Sunny tacked on. Basil briefly noticed a tear that had rolled down the dark-haired boy's face. "I- I love you."

Basil's eyes opened wide in shock. He... Loved... Him??!! How could Sunny love him after what he did? Mari's death... Covering it up... Attempting to do a double suicide... Stabbing Sunny's eye? After all that- how could he...?

Sunny brought his hands up to Basil's wet face.

And then Sunny pecked him on the lips. Basil felt blood rush to his face. He gently touched Sunny's hands, which were still on Basil's face.

Suddenly being in Sunny's room in his new apartment felt awkward. They were just supposed to be hanging out. Talking. Then the conversation had turned. It wasn't Sunny's fault, as Basil had been the one rambling.

What was this warmth in his chest? Sunny had just kissed him! His best friend. Sunny. Had... kissed him. On the lips. Sunny had just pecked him on the lips, wiping away his tears. He was frozen in shock, hands having a tight grip on Sunny's wrists.

He was aware that he had just been staring through Sunny, who kind of just sat there awkwardly, face tinged pink.

He slowly leaned his head back into Sunny's embrace. Gripping onto Sunny's sweater vest. "I-I love you too Sunny." Whether he loved him as a friend or something else was unknown to him, as that kiss had changed everything.

"I like you Sunny. I just don't know what to- to do about it." Basil whispered.

He felt Sunny kiss his head, he melted into Sunny's touch. He forgot how much he missed this kind of physical contact.

They lay there for a while, just enjoying the somewhat comfortable silence.

And to think that Basil almost didn't come to visit Sunny today.
