3rd Point of View

It all started six or seven years ago when Shiro met his other half. Shiro had been a cadet at the Garrison for a couple years when his bunkmate left and was replaced by a tall dark man, Adam. The two of them grew closer and eventually graduated together.

When the two first joined the training program, Adam was 13; the standard age for boys and girls to join. Yet the youngest age ever recorded was 12, until Takashi Shirogane joined at 11 years of age. Shiro was placed in Adam's class and was the top of it; trumping all the older kids in it.

The both graduated in three years; the standard amount of time needed to complete the program. Shiro graduated as a trainer pilot while Adam was set to be his engineer. Shiro had broken the record for being the Youngest Trainer Pilot during the program.

They both graduated Pilot training in two years. By then Shiro was 16 and Adam 18. Shiro had become the youngest pilot ever.

It had been a year or so since they graduated from training pilots. Shiro was then 18.

Shiro has begun to question himself about something. Something that's bothered him before but, out of aggression, he dismissed it. It's something that always lingered in the back of his mind.

This something was his sexuality. His thoughts started when he first met Adam. The closer the two got, the stronger the thoughts became.

Shiro had always felt odd picturing himself with any female. Being near Adam, or any man for that matter, made his heart race. He would feel his face blush a scarlet, and his heart rate rival the engine of a hoverbike.
He discussed these feelings with no one. Not Adam. Not his family. He felt scared of what his family and friends might say.

But tonight.
Tonight he was going to talk to Adam about it.

He was determined to.

The two snuck up to the roof of the Garrison after curfew, as they usually do to see the stars. It was nice. Just sitting there. Talking. Relaxing. Letting his mind drift and wander the vastness of space.

"Takashi?" Adam spoke softly, as they sat there. Adams voice dragged Shiro from his thoughts.

"Y-yeah?" Shiro stuttered in reply.

"Everything alright? I've been trying to talk to you for the last 10 minutes." Adam asked as he sat up, and looked at Shiro, who was still laying on his back. His arms crossed under his head.

"Kinda." Shiro's response barely audible but Adam could hear it. Shiro sat up and looked down into his lap. Adam felt a hint of concern.

"What's going on?" Adam asked, fixing his glasses ever so slightly.

"Well, I-I don't really know. It's h-hard to explain." Shiro paused lifting his head to look to the stars before continuing. "W-Well. I'm in a c-closet, but the doors are locked and barricaded. And I don't know if I want to come out, because I may not be treated the same outside the closet than inside. But inside I don't feel right, but on the outside I'm-, well, I'm not sure." Shiro explained flustered . His face covered in a red blush that could rival the color of beetroot. He began revising everything he just said in his head.

"What?"

"See it's confusing and odd. I don't know how to explain it. It's just- Nevermind. It is-"

"Takashi?" Adam cut off Shiro's flustered explanations causing Shiro to look at him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you telling me, you might be Gay?"

"M-Maybe? I don't know. I don't know what I'm feeling?" Shiro explained in a voice barely audible .

"Have you ever kissed a girl?"

"N-No!"

"How about a bo-"

"N-NO NO NO NOOOooo!"

"It's okay Shiro, calm down. I'm not judging you. I promise." Adam replied with a small giggle and a smile. He tilted his glasses which reflected some stars from the night sky. Shiro almost got lost in those stars before remembering the current conversation.

"I-I just don't know Adam. It's odd to me. I have never felt these feelings towards any man or woman, so I don't know. Men are nice, so are woman. I just don't know, or know anything rea-" Shiro was cut off by something he would never imagine.
A pair of warm lips meeting his own.

A kiss.
From Adam.
Shiro couldn't help but feel his face heat up. His face was painted bright pink. Adam found his hands intertwined in Shiro's black hair as they both melted into the kiss. Only after a few breathless seconds he parted the kiss.

"So?" Adam asked fixing his glasses, looking back at the sky. Shiro sat there dumbfounded. He didn't know how to respond.
After giving Shiro a couple minutes to comprehend what's just happened, which wasn't nearly enough, Adam began to laugh as he watched Shiro's expression never falter. He didn't even blink, he just, kept looking at the spot where Adam's face once was.

After a few minutes of Adam just laughing at Shiro, he was stunned by Shiro's words.

"I'm not sure, I may need to check again."
Adam's face was frozen, and painted red as well.
It was now Shiro's turn to laugh, which he did, mockingly.

"Okay. Let me know if you need to test more. " After a couple seconds of pure silence, they both began to laugh hardly, both donning checks of bright red.
