YOU MATTER ღ

VII (fixed chapter!)

[sorry for the delay on this.]

yu and mika sat in the car in silence, what akane had said to him replaying in his head. did he like mika? there was no way of knowing. not to him, atleast. not yet. not now.
things were going fast for yuichiro, maybe too fast, but he enjoyed it. he had not noticed it, but he looked forward to seeing mika. to seeing his cheeful face, to hearing them laugh together and seeing what adventures they would go onto together.
mika turned on the radio and hummed the song, driving in the darkness. yu admired him from afar, watching how his lips curled upwards mid-hum. they soon approached the street that yu's house was on.
"so...are you cutting ties with krul..?"
mika shrugged nonchalantly. he didn't know. he didn't have an answer. yu tried a different question.
    "did you and krul really fuck?"
yu realized what he had said, gasped, and covered up his mouth with his hand. his face stained red and his heartbeat skyrocketed. mika just sheepishly smiled.
   "nope. i just..."
    "just?"
mika trailed off, knuckles that were clenched on the steering wheel turning white. "i-um...god, this is embarassing..."
  yu giggled. "more embarrassing from what i just did? lets see...if you tell me, i'll–"
   yu thought briefly.
"i'll let you kiss me."
  mika stopped the car, right in the middle of the road. luckily it was late and no other cars were out. "you...m-m...i-i-d-d—" yu then had no desire to hear what mika had to say. he unbuckled himself and leaned over to mika. he smelt nice, like linen and lemongrass.
  "shut up and let me kiss you."
yu's hand shook as he went to cup the side of mika's face. he avoided looking at mika's eyes and stared down at his soft lips. he cocked his head forward, closer...closer—
  mika pulled away.
yu could feel his heart shattering and the beat of his heart demolishing. tears swelled at his eyes. he leaned backwards.
  mika was covering his face in his hands, speaking quickly. "no!" he peeked through the crevices in his hands. "don't look so sad...the reason i pulled away is..."
  yu had heard enough. he eyed the door handle. but mika grabbed onto his wrist and tightened his grip. the next sentence he spoke was something yu could never forget.
  "i wanna be the one to kiss you. and...the reasoning behind those condoms was i didn't want you to think i was so lame that i've never...y'know..."
  yu giggled again. "you think i would care?"
mika's ears redded. "kind of...anyways. um, yu, theres something i gotta ask."
"go on."
  "can i kiss you? i won't back away this time."
yu smirked. "no."
  and before mika could let that sink in, yu thrust himself forward and pressed his lips to mika's. he accepted the kiss and set his hands on yu's shoulders, bringing him closer. it was a sloppy kiss, both of them blushing but smiling, and squealing like a little girl internally, but it was beautiful in its own way.
