Something more (Soramafu & Urasaka)

Chapter 14

Urata was letting himself get dragged around by the energetic Sakata. He's acting just like a puppy; innocent, energetic, positive, friendly, cute........... wait cute? Urata was starting to realize that he had been calling the redhead in front of him cute a lot lately. He also realized that his heart would jump and flutter at the younger one's actions. I'm probably just imagining things, Urata thought as he tried to get rid of the thoughts coming in his head. He looked a the redhead and noticed that he hadn't let go of his arm at all during their time together, well except when they got on rides and stuff. And he remembered that he had never told the redhead to let go of him at any given moment.

Urata was confused on why he didn't seem bothered by it when he usually dislikes people grabbing onto him. This idiot keeps making me confused. Urata stared at the redhead as if trying to figure out what kind of force the redhead has that is pulling him in. Sakata turned to look at the brunette behind him when he felt that someone was staring at him.

"Urata are you okay?" Sakata stopped walking and turned to face the brunette, still not letting go of his arm. The worried look on the redhead's face made Urata blush, the thought of the said male being worried about him made his heart flutter. Of course he'd be worried, he's your friend. Urata thought as if it was a way to excuse the way his heart is reacting. As Urata said the word 'friend' he felt his own heart get pierced. Eh? Why am I upset about just being his friend? The brunette just kept getting more and more confused when he thought about the feelings in his chest. He shook his head and stared back at the redhead, with his neutral expression on his face.

"What do you mean, of course I'm okay idiot."

"A-Ah.... but you were spacing out just now and didn't answer me."

"So?"

"I was just worried that maybe you didn't want to be with me and that you'd rather be with Mafu."

Sakata let go of Urata's arm, causing a small whine to leave the brunette's mouth as he craved the warmth of the younger. He got even more confused about how he wished to feel the redhead's touch again.

Why are you so confusing? Or is it me? Urata kept fighting against his thoughts as Sakata looked down at the ground, I knew it, Urata doesn't really like me. I'm just a bother to him, I'm a bother to everyone....

The solemn look on the redhead made Urata want to pill him into a hug to comfort him but resisted the urge and just gave him a pat on the head. He felt conflicted about his feelings as a certain thought kept crossing his mind, but he kept brushing it off and ignoring it. Shima's teasings are probably starting to get into my head.

Urata looked at Sakata, who was still looking down and saw that his ears started to turn red. It was from the sudden contact but Urata didn't know that. He really is cute. Urata then had an idea on why he probably keeps calling him cute. It's probably because he reminds me of Mafu. They're both energetic and happy.

Urata decided that was the reason why and ignored the other feeling in his chest that was gnawing at him. Urata wanted to get rid of the awkward atmosphere around them and looked for something to cheer up the redhead.

"Why don't we go get something to eat? I'm starting to get hungry." Urata pointed towards a snack stand he saw nearby and Sakata's face immediately lit up upon hearing the idea.

Just like a puppy who's happy to get a treat. Urata unconsciously grabbed the redhead's hand and walked to the stand. Sakata blushed as he saw that Urata was holding his hand, how their fingers were intertwining, and the redhead couldn't calm down his fast heartbeat.

Once at the stand Urata ordered a pretzel and a drink for himself, he looked at Sakata to see what he wanted but was greeted to the sight of a blushing redhead.
