After a while of walking after struggling to get through the dangly branches of the trees, they reached the only secluded place they seemed to know.
SUNNY's deserted backyard.
There were the sad remains of childhood toys, besmeared by weather, and a lonely stump from traumatizing times. SUNNY's eyes were now dull and heavy from exhaustion, as they were seated afront the clear glass sliding door.
'Do you ever think about MARI..?' SUNNY mumbled, his hands resting gently against his sides, since .. well, he didn't know what to do with them.
'I think about her a lot. More than I think about basketball.' KEL gave a half-hearted nod.
'Do you think about her more than HERO?' he didn't know where he was going with his questions.
KEL gave a weak, confused smile. 'I dunno. Most of the time I don't know what I think about.' he awkwardly chuckled, resorting his gaze onto a nearby tree. 'I think about BASIL, and AUBREY .. maybe our pet rocks..'
'.. And you, of course.'
SUNNY's stomach gave a lurch. His eyes glazed with flustration, he gave a smile. Was this finally that moment he had .. literally dreamt about? And he was?
'..I think I know what I dream about. I dream about you, KEL.'
KEL went an immediate beet red. '..Oh- really? Seriously?' he looked quite bewildered, an impulsive, messy smile plastered upon his face. SUNNY nodded subtly. Maybe he took it wrong. Maybe SUNNY would just be stuck in the friend zone forever. Maybe SUNNY came off as cringy.
Maybe he just-
A hand had come to rest atop of SUNNY's ( exposed ',:) ) thigh for a moment before it shrank back to who it belonged to. This person obviously being KEL. Silence overwashed them both once more.
That very same hand rose to cup SUNNY's pale face, smoothing back a cowlick of SUNNY's hair to rest behind his ear.
'SUNNY .. I sort of .. love you.'
Slowly but surely, he shifted his head closer towards him, and.. well, his lips met the other boy's.
And that's when SUNNY awoke.
OKAY SO I NAMED IT BUTTERFLY KISSES BECAUSE TEARS OF THEMIS DON'T COME AFTER ME AAAAAAA
