Open

Shun left after a while to go home to visit his family for the weekend, and Yugo and Yuri both left to go to work. That left Yuto and Yuya in the dorm alone. Yuto seemed like he was nervous about something, which worried Yuya.

"Are you ok, Yuto?" the tomato-head asked his friend. Yuto nodded, "Yeah, just... trying to work up the courage to do something."

"Oh, what is it?" Yuya asked. Yuto took a deep breath and carefully said, "Remember how I said I've had my eye on a really cute guy for the last seven years?" Yuya nodded, intrigued and maybe a little jealous of this mystery cute guy. Yuto took another deep breath, steeling his nerves, before blurting out, "It's you. I've had a crush on you. And I completely understand if you don't feel the same way, and I won't push you, and I still want us to be friends even if you don't like me like that back, and—"

Yuya silenced him with a big hug. "Oh my god, I'm so happy you feel the same way about me!" he said happily. "I've liked you as more than just a friend since we were eleven too! In fact, that's how I figured out I'm gay!"

Yuto was frozen in shock for a moment, but then hugged Yuya back tightly. "I wish I'd said something sooner," he chuckled. Yuya giggled and nuzzled his cheek. "Me too. But at least now we both know our feelings are reciprocated!"

"Yeah!" Yuto said. "So, uhm, do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"I'd love that!" Yuya said happily. Yuto smiled and the two of them sat down on the couch to snuggle. After a while, Yuya asked, "Who do you think were the other guys who have their eye on me?"

"Well, Yuri definitely has his eye on you," Yuto chuckled. "I mean seriously, you're the only person who can calm him down when he's upset, and I've seen him checking you out plenty of times. Plus, he didn't deny it when Yugo said that he could've sworn he had a crush on you. And I'm pretty sure you're one of the guys Yugo thinks is pretty and thinks he's romantically attracted to."

Yuya blushed, and Yuto smiled. "Like I said earlier, I'm okay with an open relationship, and I won't mind it if you want to be with them too. If that's something that you want. If you're not comfortable with having an open relationship, then I will respect that."

Yuya lay his head on Yuto's shoulder, smiling. "I'm okay with an open relationship too. We'll have to set a few rules though, just to make sure we don't cross any boundaries."

"Good idea," Yuto said. "We should come up with those rules before we officially open our relationship."

Yuya nodded and hummed in agreement, then kissed Yuto's cheek. "I really am so happy you finally told me. Not gonna lie, I was starting to get a little jealous of the mystery cute guy you mentioned earlier. Now that I know it was me all along, I feel a little silly for getting jealous."

Yuto giggled. "My cute little tomato," he said, kissing Yuya's cheek. Yuya smiled. "My sweet edgy eggplant."
