Blue Demon and His Princess {bl}

Part 16: Confession

Morning came, due to their vigorous workout last night, they both slept in late.

Asari: *wakes up. Mm~ *sees Seika sleeping while holding onto him, smiles.

Asari gets up but suddenly feels a sharp pain. He remembered what they did last night and blushed.

Asari: *blushing hard. W-We had sex the second time yesterday. . . . *sighs. . I'm glad he didn't reject me when I suggested the blood pact. Good thing it was mutual love- . . . . . Eh? . . . . *realized something important. Did Seika ever say he loved me? *frantic. I-I mean I heard him say he liked me and stuff but he never said he loved me. . .

Flashback to a day in the ship. . .

Denis: Hey, Captain, do you really like Asari-san?

Asari: *found himself eavesdropping by accident.

Seika: Yeah?

Denis/Asari: . . . "Yeah"?

Denis: Aren't you suppose to respond with "I love him"?

Seika: *puts his head down. . . . I don't want to say it. . .

Denis: *disbelief, shakes his head.

End of flashback. . .

Asari: *gloom. It sounded like he didn't care too much. . . .

(The thoughts of our cute, naive, young boy who was isolated from a young age and is experiencing his first love and its difficulties.)

Asari: *pales. I'm doomed. I should probably ask him. . .

Seika: Ask me what?

Asari: *startled. Hya! N-No it's nothing! I was half-asleep.

Seika: *suspicious. Hmm~ By the way, how are you feeling?

Asari: *blush. My hips kind of. . Hurt. . .

Seika: *reaches over and gently rubs Asari's waist.

Asari: Mm~

Seika: Sorry, I tried to hold back but it didn't work. *serious, glint in his eyes. You were too sexy.

Asari: *blushing.

Seika: *gets up. Alright. Where should we go today?

Asari: Ah, umm. Weren't there other tourist spots that we missed?

Seika: That's right. *mumbles. I also have to stop by somewhere. . .

Asari: ?

Once again, the two headed out for their third date in a row. They went to the tourist areas near the waters. They walked along the boardwalk and ate specialty treats from the ocean.

Seika: Hey, try this candied octopus Asari!!

Asari: *takes a bite. Not bad.

Seika: *puts his face through the picture template of a woman wearing a bikini. Look at this!

Asari: *laughs.

They stopped by a cafe for some parfaits. . .

Asari: *takes a bite. It's sweet.

Seika: *looks at the time. Asari, I have to go somewhere for a few minutes, I'll be back.

Asari: Alright. I wonder what it's about?

After long minutes, Seika came back, only to find Asari surrounded by many men.

Seika: *irked. As I thought, I can't leave Asari alone by himself for too long. . . *he mumbled angrily to himself.

Seika took Asari away on a small boat ride too.

Asari: *feeling the wind. What a nice breeze~ . . ? . . . Ah, it's Ichida-san.

Ichida was teaching some of the younger boys how to catch fish.

Boy1: After that?

Ichida: . . . . *puts bait on the hook.

Boy2: And then?

Ichida: . . . . *throws line into water.

Boy3: *copies. Like this?

Ichida: . . . . *nods.

Asari: *chuckles.

Seika: The kids sure have patience.

The sun was beginning to set and the day was almost over. Seika and Asari walked side by side along the beach. The small waves splashing against their feet giving them a sense of coolness.

Seika: *enjoying the scenery.

Asari: *thinks. I should ask him. . .

Asari stops walking, Seika realizes and turns around.

Seika: Asari? What's wrong?

Asari: *gulps, speaks softly almost in a whisper. Seika. . . D-Do you love me?

Seika: . . . Ahh. . . *hesitates, looks away. Yeah.

Asari: I see. . . *small tears begin to trickle down his cheek. ?! Why am I crying?? *he frantically trying to wipe away his tears.

Seika: *startle, feels a pang of guilt. . . . I messed up.

In an instant, Seika runs to Asari and hugs him tightly.

Seika: Sorry, Asari, sorry. It's not what you think.

Asari: *crying. Hic! But you. . . *sniffle.

Seika: *frantic. Yeah, I know. But before that. Here. . .

Asari: ?

Seika: *quickly takes a small box from his pocket. I actually wanted to give this to you earlier but I couldn't get the timing right. *apologetic smile. I'm not really good at these things. *opens the box and gives it to Asari.

Asari: *surprised.

Inside the box was one of Seika's precious earrings, but it was customized so that it could be worn as a necklace.

Seika: *clasps the necklace around Asari's neck. Asari, I-I love you. I love you more than anything in the world. You're my most precious person. *looks at him. Believe me?

Asari: *starts to cry harder. Seika~!!

Seika: *smiles lovingly, brings Asari closer until their lips touch and kisses him for a long time.

After things calmed down and Asari stopped crying, the two sat together on the sand, watching the sunset.

Asari: *leaning on Seika. By the way Seika?

Seika: *cuddles with Asari. Yeah?

Asari: Why don't you tell me you love me more often?

Seika: Eh? . . *awkward. B-Because. . .

Asari: ?

Seika: *blushing, looks away. Isn't it kind of . . . embarrassing?

Asari: . . . . *surprised. Eh? That's why? . . . . *chuckles. Pfft~! Ahaha~

Seika: Ugh~ You're making fun of me.

Asari: *smiling. I'm not. Is it embarrassing for you if I say it too?

Seika: *shock. Huh? No way! When you say it, it's super cute!

Asari: *grins. Is that so? *laughs. Then, Seika. . . I love you!

Seika: *heart pierced. Ugh! So damn cute!! *tackles Asari with more kisses.

Asari: Ahaha~ *kisses him back.

And that concludes their three day vacation at Hart Harbor.
