"Why am I like this?"

Ash POV

I look up to see Eiji smiling at me but his eyes looked sorrowful.

Why is he smiling? I just fucking screamed at him for no reason.

We sit there. Staring at each other until I calm down. His smile falls. He now looks even more sad and it breaks my heart.

I should've said nothing. I shouldn't have burdened him with my pathetic problems.

"A-Ash..." Eiji says, his Japanese accent being more noticeable. I've noticed that this happens when he gets really passionate about things. "This is the first time you've opened up to me about this."

I held my breath. What is he going to say next? Is he going to break up with me now? Is he going to fly back to Japan and marry a Japanese girl who doesn't have my problems?

Eiji breaks me out of my thoughts by grabbing my hands and holding them in his own. He holds them with care, like I'm unstable. And maybe I am. But that's not what shocks me. He pulls me in and kisses me.

Is this a goodbye kiss? Is he leaving me?

He pulls away and looks into my eyes, our noses still touching. Our lips just centimeters apart. I can feel his warm breath on my face

Something about his eyes makes my heart skip a beat. They're filled with sincerity and longing.

I'm having an internal battle with myself as I move closer. My lips collide with his again and I feel him smile into the kiss as he wraps his arms around my neck.

Adorable.

This is what love should feel like. Not being afraid to kiss the one you love because you just trust them that much.

Eiji starts to pull away but I tug him back in by his shirt collar. I can't stop. His lips feeling more addicting than usual. Maybe I'm extra emotional today. My mouth starts to feel numb but I don't care.

Eiji pulls at my bottom lip with his teeth and slips his tongue in causing me to let out a quiet moan.

I start panicking.

"Y-Yellow," I manage to say against Eiji's lips remembering the agreement that we had.

Eiji smiles and takes his tongue out my mouth and goes back to kissing my slowly.

This is perfect, I think.

I'm pretty sure this is the longest we've made out without me stopping it.

I pull away and Eiji's eyes are clouded over with lust. I look down and see his painfully obvious boner straining against his jeans. I chuckle as his face becomes bright red.

"I'll let you take care of that problem in the bathroom. I'm gonna stay right here." I say while giggling and laying down on the couch, with my arms above my head.

Eiji gets up slowly and does the walk of shame down the hall.

"I love you! Have fun!" I shout at him before he heads into the bathroom, my giggling now turning into full blown laughter.

Eiji POV

I swear this kid has two personalities. He's crying over hearing me jacking off one moment and telling me to "Have fun" and laughing his ass off in the next.

I'm glad he's opening up to me though. That means he trusts me. That means we're one step closer.
