SaneGiyuu: Loving You Is Easy

PART 49: ...THE ONLY ONE.

Hours passed, it was late evening.
Cool breeze blew as the sun had set, the darkness setting in.

Sanemi woke up feeling well-rested and warm. He blinked his eyes open, his vision still blurry. He turned his head to the side to find Giyuu sleeping peacefully beside him.

Giyuu was breathing softly, his chest rising and falling as he slept.

Sanemi stared at him for a long moment, his eyes soft and full of emotion. He reached out tentatively, his hand hovering over Giyuu's cheek before gently brushing away a strand of hair.

"Giyuu..."
He whispered, his voice full of emotion.

"I'm sorry..."
He swallowed hard and looked away, his eyes filled with guilt and shame.
He pulled his hand away from Giyuu's face and sat up, his back hunched and his posture tense.

"I shouldn't have let you take care of me..."
He muttered, hating himself for his actions.

"Mmh..."
Giyuu fluttered his eyes open, his gaze shifting to Sanemi.

He smiled enthusiastically as he hugged him.
"You're awake, did you sleep well?"

Sanemi froze at the sudden embrace, unsure of how to react. He hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around Giyuu, holding him tightly.

"Yes..."
He whispered, burying his face in Giyuu's shoulder.

Giyuu gently patted his head.
"Are you feeling better...?"

Sanemi nodded slowly, still holding him tightly. He didn't want to let go.
He felt safe and calm in the embrace. It was a feeling he hadn't had in a long time.

"Yes... I am..."
He whispered, his voice shaky.

Giyuu pulled away from the hug, leaning closer to him. His face was inches away from his as he whispered.
"Are you sure?"

Sanemi blinked, surprised by the sudden closeness. He could feel the heat radiating off Giyuu's body and the softness of his lips.
He inhaled deeply, breathing in Giyuu's scent. He was torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer.

"I... I'm sure..."

Giyuu pulled back, his smile never leaving.
"You do look way better than how you did before... so I guess everything's fine."

He blushed softly as he held Sanemi's hand.
"T-Take good care of yourself, Sanemi..."

Sanemi smiled sweetly, his gaze never leaving Giyuu's. He squeezed his hand, grateful.

"I will, Giyuu..."
He whispered, leaning closer to Giyuu. He wanted to be near him, to hear his voice. It was a feeling he couldn't explain.

Giyuu kissed him on the forehead. "Good..."
He smiled, so warmly, Sanemi could feel his heart melt.

"G-Giyuu..."
Sanemi muttered, feeling a warmth spread through his body. He couldn't help but smile back, feeling a deep affection for the person who cared for him so much.

"Hm?"
Giyuu tilted his head to the side curiously.

Sanemi pulled him closer, nuzzling against his neck. He closed his eyes, breathing in Giyuu's scent. He could hear the sound of his heartbeat and it calmed him down.

"You're so cute..."
He muttered, his voice playful and teasing.

Giyuu chuckled softly.
"St-Stop that!"

Sanemi chuckled back, pulling away from Giyuu's neck. He looked at him with a gentle smile, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"I'm glad I have you, Giyuu..."
He said, his gaze sincere and voice serious.
