(as stated in the A/N before this, I'm gonna try writing this in first person hehe)

[Rui's POV]

"..."

Gazing up at the stars in the night sky, I'm left entirely alone with my thoughts. Well, not entirely... If I were to look to my right, Tsukasa-kun is sat next to me. I smile softly to myself as I look at his face of pure awe for a moment, before sighing and looking back up at the stars in the sky.

As I continue stargazing, I find my hand unconsciously shuffling itself closer to Tsukasa-kun's. I debate whether I should hold his hand or not, before awkwardly pulling my hand away. I recall moments when I showed him affection on other occasions, such as tackling him in a hug. He would always appear very embarrassed... What if he doesn't like it? Hmm... Maybe I should ask him... I love hugging him, but... I suddenly have a feeling of guilt wash over me. What if I've been making Tsukasa-kun uncomfortable this entire time...? What if I'm just overthinking... Ah...

"Hey... Tsukasa-kun...? I was just wondering... Do you... Not like it when I show you affection...? It's just..." I sigh again, looking a little downcast. I feel so self-conscious asking this, but I need to know... I don't dare look at Tsukasa-kun's face for a response.

[Tsukasa's POV]

As I look over at Rui and notice his somewhat upset expression, my heart sinks slightly. Has the poor boy been convincing himself that I hate him or something of the sort...? I must make sure he knows that's not the case... Quite the opposite, actually... Ahem. I give him a sweet smile and gently push his face to face mine. Hmm? Why do his cheeks look slightly red? I must be seeing things...

"... Rui... Of course that's not the case! I'm just... Not always expecting it, is all. And... It's a bit embarrassing in front of other people, but... That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate it, you know." After a moment of consideration, I decide to do something that'll cheer him up... It's just the two of us here, so... Nobody will see...

[Rui's POV]

I'm pleasantly surprised by his sweet and heartfelt words. My heart feels so fluttery, and my face feels warm... All this time I thought that he resented my affection, but... Suddenly, without warning, Tsukasa-kun gives me an even sweeter grin before pulling me close and hugging me, my head pulled onto his shoulder. He's so close... I freeze for a moment, my face still red, before returning his embrace and looking back up at the stars up in the sky for a minute.

My eyes gradually fall back onto his face once more, however. He's... So radiant. This clear starry night may be beautiful, but... There is no doubt about it: he will always be more beautiful and bright than any other star I could possibly lay my eyes upon. I sit back upright, and find myself unable to tear my eyes away from his face...

[Tsukasa's POV]

Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Rui staring at me. ... Is it just me, or does this... Outing... feel a lot more romantic all of a sudden? He's looking at me with such admiration... I give him a shy smile in response to his staring, to which he returns the smile. Heh, he has such a cute smile... Wait! Did I actually just think that?! Oh my... As we continue to gaze somewhat lovingly at each other, my face seems to lean in ever so slightly, and Rui's does the same... Soon, we're only a mere few millimetres apart...

[Rui's POV]

*ring ring!* (insert goofy ahh ringtone here)

Much to my dismay, however, just before we... ... My phone rings. I pull away and retrieve the phone from my pocket, finding that it's a call from my mother. Ah, right... I forgot to mention that I would be out tonight with Tsukasa-kun, didn't I? Luckily, my mother only seems panicked as to my whereabouts, so all I have to do is simply explain where I am. However, I sigh sadly as she adds that I should start coming home now. I notice Tsukasa-kun's also quite disappointed expression as I look back to my right, and get an idea. I may have to leave him for now, but... I'm not going to lose this opportunity. No way, hehe.

I slip my phone back into my pocket, before smiling fondly at Tsukasa-kun once more as I face him fully. I take his hand into mine and squeeze it as a sign of affection, causing my heart to flutter once more...

"I'm afraid I have to go back home now, but... Before I go..."

I mentally prepare myself for what I'm about to do, before I take a deep breath and... I lean in once more and shut my eyes, giving him a short but sweet kiss! I pull away after about 2 seconds and immediately spring to my feet, waving him goodbye. My face feels... Very hot, to say the least, but... I would say it was worth it, hehehe!

"Goodbye, Tsukasa-kun! I love you!"

What I just did may or may not have been incredibly impulsive, and I certainly wasn't thinking straight (quite literally) when I shouted to him about my love for him, but still... I can't bring myself to regret a thing at all. I skip cheerfully into the distance, elated at what just happened.

[Tsukasa's POV]

I'm left absolutely and utterly flabbergasted at what just happened. Did Rui seriously just...?!?!?! Not only that, but he declared his love for me with such certainty and joy... My face seems to erupt as it instantly grows red in embarrassment, and... Love? I... I can't deny it, can I? I love Rui, too... Before he can get away, or at least too far away, I clumsily climb onto my feet and scurry after him, a massive grin appearing on my scarlet face.

"HEY, COME BACK HERE!!!! YOU-..."

I somehow manage to catch up to him a few moments later, and grab his sleeve to stop him from running away. He must be so engrossed in his thoughts that he simply cannot hear me... I breathe heavily as I catch my breath, before looking up at him with an adoring grin still on my face.

"I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!" I shout in pure joy, before enveloping Rui in a tight hug once more. I feel him wrap my arms back around me and my smile grows more. I feel so... Happy.

[Rui's POV]

"...!"

Ah, he chased after me... To be fair, if he were to kiss me and declare his love for me before proceeding to just run away, I would chase after him, too. I wrap my arms around him in return and pat his head. After a moment, I get an idea. Perhaps we don't need to depart yet...

"Hey, do you want to come home with me?"

"ABSOLUTELY!!!!"

And so, we walking happily back to my house, hand in hand.
