Weird || Rui Kamishiro x Tsukasa Tenma

Sentiment

"Tsukasa, why do you have thee Rui Kamishiro in your arms?!"

Tsukasa slowly opened his eyes and they immediately widened.

"Ah, shit! Uh, uh... Saki, please don't tell mom or dad! They'd kill me if they knew he stayed here overnight!"

"Stayed overnight...? I knew it!"

"Knew what...?"

"I knew you were into guys!"

"Quiet down! I don't want you to wake him up..."

"Haha! You didn't deny you liked guys, did my little teaching pay off?!"

"Saki, just go! I need to get him back to his house."

"Hehehe, I am not letting this go! I already got a picture, you two are so cute together!"

"H-hey, delete that!"

"Tsukasa...? Is everything alright?" Rui questioned, still pretty much asleep.

"Look what you did, Saki! And, yes, Rui, everything's fine, just go back to sleep." Tsukasa whisper-spoke in a tender voice.

"...ok..."

"Awww! The way you said that to him like he was actually your boyfriend!"

"Shut up!"

"Anyway, I won't tell," Tsukasa smiled, "if you admit not being straight is perfectly fine!"

"Fine, fine! As long as mom and dad don't find out..."

"Yippee!! Let me record this."

"Ugh... not being straight is perfectly fine."

"1 step closer to you confessing your feelings! This is so exhilarating!"

"Saki, please don't get ahead of yourself..."

"I wasn't, I wasn't, ok, bye-bye!"

"Bye, Saki."

Tsukasa looked down at Rui as Saki left and he thought, "I should get him home now..."

"Hey, Rui, wake up." Tsukasa shook him a bit.

"Mmm..."

"Come on, Rui." He shook him more.

"Fine... fine."

"Ah, good morning, Rui."

"Morning." Rui rubbed his eyes and looked up, his face growing sort of red. "Ah, did I fall asleep on him?! Damnit!" He thought.

"You probably wanna go back to your house now."

"Oh, yes! I'll be going now... hey, Tsukasa. Actually, never mind."

"Oh, ok. You should go now, bye, Rui..."

"Bye, Tsukasa."

"What was that Rui?! Can't you just say it? Why do I feel so nervous whenever I try to tell him how I feel...? I mean, I love him so much, but," Rui sighed, "I doubt he feels the same way." He mumbled.

"Why did I think holding him while I went to sleep was a good idea?! I feel so... bad. I know that Saki wants me to think not being straight is fine, but it's hard to change a mindset I've kept. I don't hate feeling like this, but I don't like it. It feels good but bad... I think I have an idea. I'll try to listen to some music. Maybe Spotify recommended me a good musical's soundtrack or simply a nice song." Tsukasa thought.

Tsukasa opened Spotify and scrolled through, he saw something that stuck out to him. A song named, The I Love You Song. From this musical called, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He popped his earbuds in and played the song, looking over the lyrics and focusing on it. The more he listened to the song, the more emotional he felt himself becoming. It reminded him of everything he'd been feeling, not just about Rui. His family, Saki, mother, father, everyone. He thought about himself and how he could be... better. He felt the need to remind a select amount of people one thing. Tsukasa got up and went to Saki's room, he went up to her as she asked, "Do you need anything?"
