It was after the relay and the boys of the Iwatobi Swim Club were heading home together in silence, well not complete silence. Asahi was making annoying noises just to create some kind of sound in the silent streets. "Shut up! Baka Asahi." Ikuya was beyond annoyed by the red haired boy who was skipping next to makoto. "Alright alright." Ikuya rolled his eyes and turned his attention to Haruka. No one knew but Haru and Ikuya had been dating for a little more that a month now and had even been talking about having their first kiss soon, but that couldn't happen unless they informed their friends that they were a couple. The boys continued walking until they reached Haru's place and stopped. "Haru! Can we all stay at your house tonight!?" Asahi spoke excitedly. "Maybe not all of you, Ikuya is staying over." Haru reached out and grabbed Ikuya's hand hiding their now intertwined fingers behind his back. "Hah! Ikuya is staying over!? Why!?" The green haired boy and the black haired boy shared a look before Ikuya nodded. "Because...Ikuya and I are a couple." Asahi and Makoto both stared at the 'couple' while Haru pulled Ikuya into his arms. "Whaaaa!? When!? How!?" Asahi shot off a million questions. "Well you see.."
"Nanase!" Haru turned around seeing Ikuya running up to him. "Huh? Ikuya?" Haru looked at him as he stopped in front of him. "Haru, I wanted to tell you the real reason I imitated you..." Ikuya was blushing a furious red and had his turquoise hair covering his glowing amber eyes. "Ok." Haru spoke softly and sat on the steps while Ikuya sat beside him. "The reason I imitated you is because...because I have feelings for you, I like like you. I have since the first day of middle school and I imitated you to try to get your attention." Ikuya looked like he'd just revealed all the secrets of the world with his eyes wide and lips trembling, as well as his sweaty palms. "Ikuya..why didn't you just say so?" The blue eyed boy looked at the other curiously. "I was ashamed of being.." He swallowed. "I was ashamed of being g-gay. I..I." The boy was crying now. Haruka clearly not knowing how to handle the crying 13 year old pulled him into his arms. "I...I like you too ikuya."
"We've been dating for a month now, the only ones who know are our parents and now you guys. Ikuya's parents were hard on him at first but when they say how happy I made him they accepted our relationship and his parents even invited us on double dates." Haru smiled and hugged Ikuya. "I couldn't find the courage to tell my parents until a week ago. They support Ikuya and I completely and I couldn't be happier." Haru was smiling, a real smile that only Ikuya brought out. "I'm really happy with Haru." Ikuya smiled up at his boyfriend with a smile just as genuine. Asahi and Makoto seemed to be out of their shocked state as they were soon hugging the couple tightly and smiling. "We're happy for you guys!" Makoto said excitedly while asahi cheered in agreement. Ikuya was laughing softly while holding onto Haru tightly. "Thanks guys, we appreciate it." Haru smiled after his friends let go and kissed Ikuya on the forehead making the small boy blush. "Well we'll leave you two alone now, bye Haru, Ikuya." Makoto smiled waving at the boys while asahi nodded and walked off with Him. After the boys disappeared from sight Haru lifted Ikuya and wrapped his scrawny legs around his waist. "That's feels so good to get off my chest." Haru said looking up at his still blushing boyfriend. Ikuya smiled and nodded. "Yeah it does, I can't help but feel as though asahi would let it accidentally slip though." Haru had to admit Ikuya had a point. Asahi wasn't good at keeping his mouth shut, especially when it came to who's dating who. "Maybe it will be ok Iku." Haru set his boyfriend down and held his hand while they walked inside up the stairs to Haru's room. "Maybe." The boy agreed and opened Haru's bedroom door to let them in. Ikuya put his bags down and lay on the bed while Haru began to change his clothes. "Woaah." Ikuya teased smiling at his shirtless boyfriend. "What?" Haru giggled and walked over to the bed laying on top of ikuya. "My boyfriend is cute." Ikuya smiled and kissed Haru's cheek. "Well so is mine." He kissed Ikuya's cheek softly letting his lips linger on the skin. "Hey Haru...when can we actually kiss? you know, on the lips?" Ikuya was a blushing mess as he spoke. Haru also wondered when he would finally give Ikuya an actual kiss instead of just cheek and forehead kisses and hugs and cuddles. He wanted to softly Peck ikuya on the lips while they cuddled at night. "How about our next date night? We'll kiss then ok?" Ikuya nodded eagerly. "Yes!" Haru smiled and got off the boy to finish changing. Soon after ikuya changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top and lay on the bed beside Haru. It didn't take much for both boys to fall asleep.
