Goal 21: World Top

Their foreheads met after the intimate gesture. There were no words to be said and that used to be enough for them. Out of curiosity, Ueyama had to break the tension they both shared. 

"Did.. you hate that?" 

Bachira blinked a few times before clinging around the other's neck. "Hehe, why would I let you if I hated it?" 

It's been awhile since he got to feel the same old feelings he had before. For it to be awakened by this guy, he sure does have preferences be it man or woman. "Ue-chan, what are you thinking?" The question snapped him back to his normal state he'd have with Bachira. "Just wondering if.. you.." 

Heat rises up from the base of his neck up to his cheeks and ears. There was an evident redness on his forehead too. Ueyama was taking too long to say it, so Bachira ushered him to say what was on his mind. "Ue-chan..?" 

"Fuck.. it's too fast. I- nevermind.. uhm, I'd like to know what you thought about that. I mean, depending on what you say.. I'll make do with it. I mean, we both know that wasn't just something, uhm, s-something- you know what I am trying to say here-" 

"I don't." 

"Well, we both know what we felt and do you think we can still be friends after what we just did..?" Ueyama rambled on, which made Bachira remember back when they started to reconcile. He was rambling so much. 

"What I think about what just happened, it was something new. It was brief but I wanted more. That's all I could think of. I get the feeling that friends aren't supposed to do that. Who only does that?" The innocent sunshine asked. 

Ueyama reached to his face once again and caressed his cheek. "You only do that with people who you love and cherish the most. Be it familial or in intimate relationships." 

It was now Bachira's turn to blush at the thought. "I see. Then, are we in an intimate relationship?" The sunshine asked the brunet. Ueyama smiled gently as he continued to caress the other’s cheek. 

"Do you want us to?" 

"... I'm scared." He started to fiddle with his fingers. "Hm? Of what?" 

"Are we gonna be friends still?" 

"Kinda, but there are limits to being just friends. Such as doing what we just did, we can't do that. That'll only cause confusion in the actual relationship. If you want us to be just friends, I understand." His hand retreated from his face. 

The sunshine thought it over, "I.. don't want to lose what we already have, but I'm scared to enter a relationship." Bachira hand gripped on his blanket tight. Ueyama can feel the uneasiness and overthinking energy radiating from the sunshine. The brunet reached his hand and put it on top of the other. 

"We don't have to be in one entirely right now. Besides, it's just a label. What matters is what we felt is the same. Sunshine, we can take our time until you are ready." Ueyama smiled at his wavering Sunshine. "Really?" 

The brunet nodded in response before pairing his forehead with the other once again. "Really." Bachira wrapped his arms around the brunet once again and this time they both relished the feeling of mutuality. "For the record," Ueyama started and Bachira perked up. 

"Bachira, I like you." 

The sunshine flinched at the sudden confession. Bachira nodded in response and buried himself on his shoulders. "I will wait for the day you will say it to me, until then, I'll make do with what you want."
