Toge X Yuuta : Speak Your Love Language

Speak Your Love: Ch 1

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

It all started in Toge's room. Since leaving Jujitsu High in order to train overseas in Africa, more than a year had passed.. a painful year without Toge at his side. The memories of when they first met still stood strong, from back when he'd just joined. Warm memories of their first moments togther radiated with nostalgia.

He bushed his hand hard against his face, a losing effort to magic away the pinkish blush tinging his pale cheeks. Eyes averted away from Toge's, who was gazing right back.

"Inumaki is kind," this phrase stuck to him and was written into his very heart himself. No one had ever treated Yuuta so well. It was only natural for him to gain gradual feelings for Toge.

Back then, against all odds, Toge felt the exact same way. Yes- Yuuta's feelings got reciprocated and the most unlikely thing happened.. they started dating. Auhh so romantic it was confessing love in the midst of the Autumn trees at the time, on a bench with only a few words of meaning spoken.

It was Autumn again. And just like how the leaves of autumn change colour and shape, the two teens had both changed.

They had been messaging eachother quite frequently at the start of their separation, but their chats grew rarer and sparce for no reason in particular. However, only now face to face could they really see these differences.

Yuuta took a moment to reminisce Toge's appearance. That once scruffy slicked-back hair had become beautiful silverish locks that looked ever so cute. He wanted to touch it and feel the flow of Toge's hair: the silkyness and the smell.

Though, Yuuta didn't bring his hand any closer and just rested it on his lap, balled up into a fist. Hesitation. "How does he feel about me?" Questions pained his mind like the cold winter breeze.

Things had changed -rather Yuuta changed. Once an innocent, harmless child, he was now a man hardened by the emotions and stress of fighting cursed spirits. Day After day for weeks on end for a whole year, training has exhausted him to the bone.

Only now did he feel revived and restored of his energy. It was something about Toge's presence that made the dark haired felt invincible.

Yuuta slid his hand over his chest, feeling the relentless knocking of his heartbeat against. his ribs. "Um.. Toge.."he asked, before cutting of his own sentence.

"What would I even say to Inumaki? Would he still remember that we were dating before?" the teen groaned as his overthinking took the better of him. It was too hard to decide what to say - and for once, it was Yuuta who was lost for words.

They were sitting opposite eachother for the last 10 minutes and no one was talking. The silence was painful, but Toge was brave enough to break it first.

"Tuna?"

God, even the way he talks is cute. Not hearing Inumaki's adorable soft voice was the biggest pain of his long journey.

"Tuna?!" Repeat the other, visibility cross.
He had all right to be angry. "Why isn't he saying anything at all?" Toge wanted to despirately voice his words." He thought Yuuta knew him best. So why the fuck was he silent. God dammit, it hurt.

"Why are you crying?" Yuuta asked, holding his head down.  But the white-haired teen just closed his eyes and painfully rested against his bedroom wall. It wasn't that he couldn't answer.. he was afraid of the response.

Yuuta gazed at Inumaki, focusing his dark greys onto the brown orbs. He didn't know exactly what Toge wanted. He tried to find meaning in his face, the way in trembled.. the way it looked fustrated.

"Do you miss me?"

Inumaki opened his eyes suddenly.
That was it, finally a word. And in that moment Yuuta understood it all. Everything was clear within those shimmering glinting brown eyes which were holding back streams of tears.

"I-I love you. Is that what u wanted to hear?"

"Shake," he nodded his head slowly, keeping his gaze fixed to Yuuta, who was standing in the far corner of the room.

"So.. does that mean you still love me?" the start of a smile breaking his solemn lips apart.

"Shake."

"I'm really stupid aren't I," said Yuuta, "worrying about stuff like this... I guess we're still dating then?"

Inumaki pouted, but the lingering fustration did dissapear and even the start of a smile. Perhaps it was relief. Afterall, Inumaki was doubtful that Yuuta would still love him.  There were many people who can talk, who would date a mute? Toge was still doubtful of himself, just like always.

Yuuta was all strong and crazy powerful now, but when it came to Toge, his emotions were uncollected and chaotic as allways. Actions are better than words.  "Inumaki is kind" "inumaki is so caring." That's all he needed. Yuuta was hopelessly obsessed and in love, written all over his face even now as clear as day.
