This Life

16 - Just friends?

Giyuus POV

It's been about an hour since we've stepped out of my house. We are currently walking around patches of grass and exploring this beautiful scenery together. There are so many lovely flowers around us. I can't help but wonder why Sabito chose to take me here of all places, but it really is a nice place. It starts off as a nice freeland of pretty grass. Further along, there are some trees. Not very far away, there are beautiful flower patches to look at.

Sabito noticed my excitement and dragged me closer to where the flowers laid. We laughed together as we ran, practically frolicking. I was so into the moment of just enjoying his company and soothing laughter by my side, I barely noticed how we held hands. Our fingers intertwined for that moment - the cool yet warm wind blowing in our hair. I could get lost in his eyes, but even just the sound of his laughter. Until I did notice - Im afraid I got so nervous when I realized it, Sabito must have noticed too, because he let go of my hand. He seemed nervous as well, but neither of us seemed uncomfortable by it, which was a good thing. It was a relief, honestly. Could he perhaps feel the same? This is frustrating... I hope I'm not crazy to think that, though.

It does sort of feel unlikely. As if I'm delusional to think he might actually be into me as well. I'd say I'm likable, but to like me in the romantic aspect- I feel delusional to believe anyone would even want any of that with me. I never even thought I'd feel this way about anyone to have to worry about any of this at all. Ugh..

Thinking about when Sabito got to my house to get me, he and my mom got along well. It felt strange for a second, but not in a bad way. I guess I couldn't help but wonder - well, I'm getting ahead of myself, certainly - but.. if Sabito and I hypothetically did get together, how would my mom feel? Hm.. maybe she'd be happy for me. I'd hope so.

We enjoyed the atmosphere around us. I could say this word over a thousand times, probably; but it was so lovely. He is just so lovely. We tried making each other flower crowns, but it wasn't as easy as the tutorials made it look. Sabitos kept crumbling. He thought that mine was going to stand on its own, but it unfortunately did not. We ended up finding flowers that looked like our eye colors. Sabito mentioned wanting to work on photography because he enjoyed looking at sights, enjoying even the little things in life. How cute. I thought up the idea, and he loved it. He quickly agreed. I picked up a flower with what had the most similar color Sabito did in his eyes. He let me hold it close to his face, and I took a photo of it. He did the same. Finding a beautiful blue flower that he was certain matched my eye color.

Sabitos POV;

I'm so glad Giyuu enjoyed the sights of all the flowers around us. I guess it's something I sort of always wanted to do - bring someone here. Bringing my little sister around doesn't count, of course. I have friends, but none. I could feel safe enough to show such a spot that was so meaningful to me. I mean, sure, I brought a group here once for a project. It is a public flower field anyway, it just isn't extremely popular known I guess. But I have seen couples occasionally have set picnic dates here. Even a wedding one time. Or perhaps it was a proposal rather. Either way; what's more special to me is this spot near a specific tree I like to lay by.

It isn't as floral as the literal flower field we ran through - it's more grassland. It has more trees surrounded, but farther along a path, not even too far off - there's a clear mountain like veiw, and it's beautiful. You can see the town and city buildings just from that spot. Up above, you can see the stars, I like to lay there and look at the sky. I always did it by myself, and I thought I'd take Giyuu down there with me tonight. I'd even go as far to confessing, really- but I'm afraid it's too early for that.

I don't even know if he feels the same. Or if he even likes boys at all. Is he even into that sappy romance stuff? I never thought about it much, but the idea seems so cute. I always wondered what it would be like to have someone I can love, be affectionate with mutually and stuff. Even adopt a cat together, or a cute dog. Id love to raise a pet with Giyuu. Although I've never really been in one. It's never been a focus. Plus, there's never been anyone I found attraction to. Not until Giyuu stepped into my life. I've known Giyuu for just a couple of months now, though. The school year has honestly flew by a little fast - I wouldn't be surprised if it's because I've actually been enjoying my time, ever since I've started having Giyuu around.
