FOREVER ENTWINED -Boy's Love

Chapter Five- Question Of The Hour

   Shinji's smile faltered for a moment, before he broke into a radiant grin. "Of course, we're dating!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement.

Haruto's face lit up with joy, his heart soaring. "Really?" he asked, his voice trembling with happiness.

Shinji nodded, his hands reaching out to cup Haruto's face. "Really," he whispered, his lips brushing against Haruto's.

As they shared a tender kiss, Haruto knew that this was it – he was officially dating the love of his life.

"I'm so happy," Haruto said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Shinji's smile mirrored Haruto's. "Me too, my love."

As they hugged, the water from the shower swirling around them.

   Haruto dialed Yoshi's number, a smile still plastered on his face. "Hey, Yoshi, just a heads up, I'm spending the night at Shinji's," he said, his voice casual.

Yoshi's voice came through the line, laced with amusement. "Okay, got it! Have fun, and don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

Haruto chuckled. "Thanks, Yoshi. I'll catch you later."

As he hung up the phone, Shinji raised an eyebrow. "All good?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Haruto nodded, his grin still in place. "Yeah, Yoshi's cool with it."

Shinji's face softened, his eyes filled with love. "Good. Now, where were we?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

Haruto's heart skipped a beat as Shinji's arms wrapped around him, pulling him close. "I think we were right here," Haruto replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

Shinji's lips brushed against Haruto's, sending shivers down his spine.

Haruto and Shinji walked hand in hand across the university campus, enjoying the warm sunshine and each other's company. As they strolled, Haruto turned to Shinji with a smile.

"Three months together, and it feels like just yesterday we were nervously confessing our feelings to each other," Haruto said, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

Shinji's face lit up with a radiant smile. "I know, time flies when we're together. And I couldn't be happier."

Haruto's heart swelled with love, feeling grateful for their blossoming relationship. "Me neither, Shinji. I love you."

Shinji's grip on Haruto's hand tightened. "I love you too, Haruto."

Shinji's eyes locked onto Haruto's, his gaze filled with warmth and affection. "My family's having a big celebration this weekend - my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. I couldn't imagine celebrating without you by my side."

Haruto's heart skipped a beat at the tender words. "That sounds amazing... I'd be honored to join you."

Shinji's face lit up with a radiant smile. "And you can bring Yoshi too! My family would love to meet him."

Haruto nodded enthusiastically. "I'll ask him, but I'm sure he'd love to come. What's the celebration like?"

Shinji's eyes sparkled with excitement. "It's going to be a big traditional Japanese party - food, drinks, music, and dancing. You'll have a blast!"

Haruto's heart swelled with love, feeling grateful for Shinji's invitation. "I can't wait... to celebrate with you, and to meet your family."

Shinji's smile softened, his voice filled with emotion. "I want to share everything with you, Haruto. My family, my heart."
