My Face and His

Chapter 2

~~Elijah Landon~~

As Takumi turned away from me, I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. He was so cute, stroking my head and trying to tease me, but his red face was so fucking adorable like, how does he expect me not to-

"Why are you still sitting there? Come on, you're the one that told me we'd be late!"

I chuckled and stood up, taking my bag from Takumi's hands.

"Thanks, Taku."

Takumi rolled his eyes as I gave him a flirty smile, and I could almost see a light blush on his cheeks.

Ah... I wish he wouldn't do that... It gives me hope before he starts to rant on about some girl with big boobs that smells like strawberries or some shit...

I didn't tell him that, though. Everytime Takumi would act differently or blush when I tease him, it always turns out to be nothing. I just get sent back to square one.

"Eli? Earth to Eli."

I blinked and looked at Takumi, only to find that he wasn't in front of me anymore, but already halfway down the stairs. He gestured for me to hurry up, and I smiled at him, although it hurt like fuck to see him acting so normally after he just blushed at my teasing.

Damned brat.

I followed Takumi as he kept walking, talking about some homework he didn't want to do. I nodded and let him speak, just admiring him. How his hair fell in front of his eyes, how he moved his hands to gesture what he was saying, how his lips were plump and soft looking...

"- which reminds me."

I jumped slightly when Takumi suddenly turned to me. I had just realized how close I had gotten, how I had been leaning in and looking at his lips-

"Elijah, what are you going to do about that girl's confession?"

I swallowed and leaned back, rubbing the back of my neck at my slip up, torn between wanting to hit myself and grabbing Takumi and pinning him against that wall...

"Uh, I... I'm gonna reject her."

Takumi stopped in the doorway of the kitchen and whirled around to look at me, his eyes wide with confusion and disbelief.

"WHAT??!"

I chuckled at his reaction and patted his fluffy hair as I took the lead to walk into the kitchen. Takumi followed me, still giving me a look like I was passing up the chance to be king of the universe.

So damned cute...

"WHY?? SHE'S LIKE, THE HOTTEST GIRL IN OUR YEAR!! HOW COULD YOU REJECT- mmph-!"

I clapped my hand over Takumi's mouth and sighed, struggling not to laugh at his rant.

"I know you think so, but I don't want to date her. And she's not really my type anyway."

Takumi smacked my hand away with a huff and went over to the kitchen counter, where he pulled out two mugs and put some toast in the toaster.

"I can't believe you. She's, like, EVERYONE'S type!"

"Not mine."

"... Dude, you got a confession from the hottest girl in the whole entire freaking year, and probably the only girl that hot that will ever confess to you, and you're just brushing it off with a simple, 'She's not my type'???"

I laughed at Takumi's speech as he made his breakfast more agressivley than usual. He handed me a cup of tea; english breakfast with extra milk. Just how I like it, and just how Takumi makes it for me every time.

I smile in thanks and take a sip of the hot liquid as he places a plate of toast and second mug down, sitting next to me. I smiled as Takumi started to eat, watching him as he scrolled through his phone, oblivious to me staring at him.

Just like he's been oblivious to my feelings for so long.

I love you, Taku.
