Aoki x Ida (primeiro beijo)

.have you been thinking about it, too? [eng]

The silence inside Aoki's room was confortable like the sweet summer breeze. His eyes were roaming around the pages of a manga he recentely bought. Sometimes they would go a little up and dance across the edge of the page so he could catch a glance at the boy across the table. With a relaxed expression in his pretty face and a lovely domestic hoodie embracing him, making him look so hugable. Just like the boy in the manga. Ida was there, reading a manga of his own choice, in Aokis room, just across the table.

Realising hes been staring, Aoki turns his attention back to the manga at hand and all of the similarities between Ida and the main character of the story. Their seriousness and reflective nature. Their intense eyes but sweetest smile. Maybe, Just maybe, it wasnt that much of a coincidence that he ended up choosing that manga in the bookstore among a thousand of others. But he wasnt quite ready to accept what that meant.

The manga was a romance between two boys, the main character, much alike ida, and his romantic interest, a guy much alike Aoki. It was sweet, cute, Innocent. Of course Aoki would never let Ida near that book cause he would definetely see the resemblance right away but there wasnt much crazy going on. That was until he flipped the page.

Suddenly the characters were close together talking about their feelings and reaching each others hands. Aoki felt his cheeks hottening. He caught a glimpse to make sure Ida didnt see him shift in his place like a restless moron and after seeing him focused on his book, Aoki resumed Reading.

The characters were getting closer and closer.

[Have you been thinking about kissing me? Cause i have.]

One of them asked. On the last block of art the characters were kissing. Just a cute Peck but nonetheless Aoki felt his face become red and hot. When he turned the page tho-

SLAM

The sound of the manga closing like it was supposed to be locked shut and never to open again echoed through the Room. Ida looked up startled to see a red as a tomato Aoki. With trembling wide eyes looking across his face like he just saw a ghost.

"Are you ok?!"

Ida asked but Aoki was a complete mess.

"W-what? Don't mind me. I'm completely ok!"

Cause he had been thinking about it. About feeling Idas lips and warmth and when he saw the characters in the book with their tongues intertwined... That hit a little too close to home. Cause he had been thinking about it. And he hated to not know what Ida thought of him. Cause he Said he never liked someone before. What If hes misunderstanding his own feelings? What If he doesnt want to kiss Aoki. Cause, sure, he Said he likes to be by Aoki's side but that can easily be a friend. Had Ida thought about doing more than hang out Reading mangas, studying or watching movies? Cause Aoki had, a little too much.

Ida let out a small chuckle.

"Youre doing a crazy expression. Did you see something?"

"Eh? Wwhat do you mean by that?"

Aoki could only imagine what kind of expression he was doing but it wasnt the first time he would wear his heart on his sleeve. Like an open book. Ida wasnt the most fast to catch on to it tho, he could be a bit dense sometimes but he would always hit the nail on the head without even trying and Aoki would panic and then he would realise. There were situations where Aoki would feel greatefull for It and others he would Just get anoyed. Right now he wasnt so sure If he wanted Ida to figure It out so he wouldnt need to say That he wanted to kiss him out loud, or If he wanted him to just let go and not need to aknowledge his awkwards desires.

He wasnt sure but when he dropped his eyes to the book the thought of ida reaching out and strocking his cheek creeped in and all of a sudden he was pushing the manga away from him and moving backwards. That combined with the way he shot a nervous look towards Ida was enough for him to at least figure out the source of Aoki's panic. He let out another chuckle.

"What did you see? Can i look?"

Ida asked. Could he? His First thought was 'absolutely not' but thinking about it, they were only together now because of that School trip. Because Aoki got tired of running away and decided to face the Challenge of coming clean. Decided to be Brave. Ida wouldnt figure out on his own even tho he got suspicious of it. So Aoki knew that If he wanted to get a kiss, he would need to be more straight forward. So he gave Ida a small nod and looked down, waiting for him to do the rest.

He could see Idas fingertips reaching for the book and the sound of it being dragged away. There were ruffling of pages as Aoki stared at his restless fingers fidgeting on his lap. The ruffling came to a stop and there was silence. Aoki knew the page he was at and he couldnt bring himself to look at Ida.

"Do you think about it?"

Ida asked in a soft tone. When Aoki looked up, he almost felt his soul left his body. Ida was looking at him but something about his gaze was so different. It was unsure but fixated and so intense. Like he'd been longing for it just as much as Aoki did but so afraid of the answer. That and the blush on his cheeks could send Aoki to heaven right there. It was so rare to see Ida so shy and restrained. Usually he would say things without getting the weigh of them but now it seemed like he knew very well the implications of his words. Well, Aoki couldnt back up now, If Ida said no he would just have to Deal with that but he couldnt be the one running away anymore. Not when Ida had his eyes on him like that.

Aoki gestured with his head. Ida let out a sight.

"So im not the only one."

He said, relaxing his tense shoulders but then It was Aoki's turn to get tense.

"What?! Why are you saying embarassing things out of a sudden."

"Eh? So you don't want to do it?"

"I do! I mean... Is just... You... Have been thinking about it too?"

Ida avoided his gaze.

"Well, yeah. Isnt it normal? Were dating."

Oh, that face is new. Ida was embarrassed. Thats How Aoki knew he was saying the truth. He had been thinking about it, with all of the right implications. Just like Aoki did. But now what? It was so embarassing now that they aknowledged It. There was silence and Aoki was playing with his fingers again, thinking about How to a aproach It next. Luckily he didnt need to because Ida saw his helpless face and was already on his way as the most Brave of the two. He Got up, walked towards Aoki and Sat right besife him on the floor. Aoki only realised he was right there when he felt a soft touch on his hair.

He looked up to see a nervous looking Ida with trembling eyes that were roaming every inch of Aoki's face. Aokis eyes dropped imediately to Idas lips and there they stayed. Ida came all the way there, he made the first move so Aoki got a Sense that he should probably do something as well. So he reached for Idas neck and pulled him closer. Their eyes closed together as they got close and when their lips touched It was like he could finally breathe. Ida pressed agaisnt him. The touch so soft and intimate that a shiver shot through Aoki's body. He could feel the warmth of his fingers on Idas neck and his hair tickling his skin. The Peck was sealed with a soft press and a plucking of his bottom lip iniciated by Ida that made Aoki's face heat up. When they separated, Ida smiled the sweetest smile that made Aokis insides all the more messy. He nearly exploded right there.

"I thought you were the one that never dated ever!"

He said pushing on Idas chest.

"I didnt."

"How are you so chill about it?"

"I'm not!"

Ida took Aoki's hand and placed it agaisnt his chest. There was a drumming party inside there, like a noisy and chaotic carnival, and Aoki was the cause of it. How could he recover from something like this? He didnt even know how he was able to lock eyes with Ida again. He had a sincere and nervous gaze, like trying to desperately get a message across. Aoki panicked again.

"Ok! I get It! Let go!"

Aoki took his hand back but imediately regreted cause now Ida was making an insecure expression and avoiding his eyes again.

"Ida."

He called, when he looked over, Aoki got close again and gave him another peck.

"I loved It."
