𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲~ (Rantaro x Shuichi)

Confession

3rd Person POV~

(During school)

Rantaro and Shuichi still didn't forget what happened last night but didn't mind either. One would keep glancing at the other, for unknown reasoning.

The class they had right now was English Language Arts. The teacher was lecturing the class on basic topics. Shuichi would mostly be the one who was always starting at Rantaro. He didn't know why, but glancing at him would always make his stomach have butterflies fluttering inside.

Suddenly the bell had rung, which meant it was time for lunch. Shuichi got up and waited for Rantaro to walk with him to the outside cafeteria. Once they met up with each other and was ready to go, they walked to lunch and sat at the table where all their friends were always sitting at.

"Shuichi and Rantaro! Why didn't you guys come to the party yesterday? Did something happen?" Kaede asked. Maki, Kaito, and Kokichi were questioning the same exact thing too.

"Well, it's kind of a long story." Said Rantaro. He then explained everything that happened yesterday. Even when they kissed, even though he should have just kept that a secret.

"YOU GUYS KISSED??!?! My one true pairing is starting to come true. Such glory!" Kaede said as she put her hands together, smiling.

"One true pairing? What do you mean?" Shuichi asked as a small tint of pink appeared on his cheeks.

"Well... I've been shipping you guys together ever since! C'mon, you guys are literally MEANT for each other." Kaede said as she still had a big grin on her face.

The others nodded in agreement. "Yea. You guys would totally be a cool couple!" Kokichi said, laughing.

"Wait, you guys ship u-us? No way that's possible. We will always be best friends and nothing more...right Shuichi?"

Shuichi felt a drop in his stomach. Why was he so sad and disappointed when he heard that?

Shuichi POV~

I mean, we are best friends. Yeah, definitely nothing more. But, there is this feeling that I don't know what to call. Whatever. I'm acting like my strange self again talking about nonsense.

"Yeah haha. N-Nothing more." I said with a melancholy expression.

Rantaro noticed my face and asked, "Are you alright Shuichi?" He asked.

I slowly nodded.

Rantaro POV~

The truth was, I didn't just want to be best friends for my whole entire life with him. Recently, I had this strange feeling in my heart every time I would see Shuichi. This never happened between me and him. I'm just to scared to reveal it.

Have I developed feelings for him?

The bell rang and everyone quickly got up and walked to class. Except for Shuichi and I. He still had that sad expression on his face. I missed when he would have that cute fun little smile all of the time. I need that smile back.

"Shuichi, are you sure you're alright? We should head to class before we're la-" I got interrupted by him running away. Not again.

I ran after him yelling. "Wait! Shuichi please stop. I want to know what's up with you!"

He ignored me and kept running away, which led to both of us leaving the school grounds. He kept running and I kept chasing. Shuichi then stopped at a bridge that was above water. I had no idea where we were, but I know for a fact that we were definitely lost.

I stopped as well, panting for air. I then put my hand on the smaller boy's shoulder and turned him around. I noticed he had tears in his eyes. "Why are you crying?" I asked.

"I-I... I don't know anymore. I'm sorry, I just ran away from you like that again it's just...I had this feeling in my heart every time I would look at you and everything about you just causes this feeling. I think I'm in love with you Rantaro. But of course, you would like to stay as friends right?" Shuichi said, glancing back up me with tears flowing in his eyes.

I couldn't help but use my fingers to wipe those tears away. "You don't have anything to worry about. I've also had this feeling for you as well. I couldn't grasp the right words to explain it, but now I know. I-I think I'm in love with you too Shuichi!" I yelled out those last words. But I really did mean those words. I blushed a dark red uncontrollably as I said that and turned my head around so he couldn't see me.

"Y-You love me?" Shuichi asked, his lips formed into a beautiful smile.

"Of course." Rantaro responded, also having a smile on his lips.

I was so happy that I couldn't even think properly anymore. We had both ended up being more than friends. We had ended up being lovers, loving each other.

I put my hands around Shuichi's back snd hugged him. I hugged him very tightly to express everything I had felt for him during these weeks. This was the moment. Everything went by so fast.

I felt Shuichi hug me back, his arms wrapping softly around my back. I was comfortable being with him. I never thought a day like this would have happened. Suddenly Shuichi pulled away fast. He gave me a long kiss on the forehead and held my hand. I blushed a shade of pink after that forehead kiss.

"Will you be my b-boyfriend?" Shuichi asked with a flustered expression.

"Of course my little detective." I said as we were still holding hands. We then both walked away together, back to school happily.
