Park Trees and Cargo Nets, Kaiba.

Don't fall, you'll break a leg, Kaiba.

"C'mon, you'll be okay."

Honda offered a hand down to Kaiba, a wide grin taking place on his face. As Kaiba brushed the hand to the side, he found himself wondering once more if his date had told the truth hours ago, when he had confessed.

Kaiba had had pulled him to the side the moment Yugi and pals had stopped paying their attention to Honda (which hadn't taken long, as it was the last day of their high school career and they were busy celebrating). Once they were alone (and once Honda had stopped panicking over how Kaiba would surely kill him) Kaiba, rather mechanically, had admitted his affections for the usually overlooked member of the Dweeb Patrol. He hadn't believed it then, and even now, he was having issues. Yet still, Honda decided upon giving Kaiba the benefit of the doubt, he entrusted Kaiba with his phone number.

He had told the younger teen to wait a day before contacting him, just to see if he would, and technically, he had.

It wasn't until Midnight that Kaiba had contacted Honda, or rather, until he had started typing up his message, Honda was the first to send a text (as his phone had notified him that Kaiba was typing, and Kaiba was taking far too long to finish).

Now here they were, an hour into their date, at 2AM, climbing trees in the city park.

Kaiba managed to get himself up onto the tree which Honda already sat in, without the help of the person he claimed to like, or love, or whatever word it had been that Kaiba had used when he confessed, neither remembered any longer.

They did not stop now, as there was more to climb, a higher space with a cargo net which they could lay in (and while they couldn't watch the stars, they could listen to the wind ruffled leaves).

"If you don't need my help, why don't you go on ahead? I'll be behind you, to catch you if you fall."

"Keep climbing, Honda, I don't need a safety net."

With a roll of his eyes, Honda continued on. They didn't have to climb for very long, as while this was the biggest tree in the park, the net wasn't very high up, as children were usually the ones to play in it.

Both climbed in with caution, as through the years, people had cut some areas up, opening bigger holes than the nets design would have originally allowed. Holes big enough for them to fall through.

Honda was the first to lay down, plating himself in the center of the net.

Kaiba took a moment, then placed himself a few feet away. Honda now, was certain that Kaiba had lied earlier. Surely he was putting space between them because of some disgust.

Yet, he wouldn't jump to assumptions, he wasn't the sort.

Kaiba was never so easy to read anyway, the first thing he thought about the guy was usually a misunderstanding, he didn't need to add another thought to that line.

Honda never would have thought that Kaiba was only nervous.

There had never been been a confirmation of how Honda felt toward him. For all Kaiba knew, he was disliked. He was lucky enough to be out here, spending time alone with the object of his affections, he didn't wish to push his luck.

Yet, as he focused his gaze up at the branches and leaves swaying in the breeze, Honda extended his arm, grabbed hold of Kaiba's hand.
