The Love That Grows Inside

Let's Talk (1)

As he rests, he lets his legs dangle off the side of the building, his head resting against the rail in front of him. There are tears staining his face, the afternoon sunlight making him shine. Tadashi is about to get up and take another nap instead of sketching... when someone interrupts him.

"What're you doing up here all by yourself?"

Tadashi twists his head around and his tear filled eyes are met with a jaw dropping blonde boy, standing behind him. When he takes a closer look he notices some very nice things about this boy. For instance, his sleeve tattoos and his muscles poking out from under his light yellow shirt, the silver earring hanging from his right ear, his golden brown eyes sparkling in the now fading sun, and easily the most attractive tongue piercing that he's ever seen.

Yamaguchi blushes, but it quickly fades, remembering why he was on the roof in the first place. Not to mention the tears rolling down his face that compete with the flushed red of his cheeks would probably be confusing to anyone who isn't inside his world.

"You're quite a mess aren't ya, neighbor?" The way this new boy spoke was so soft, and so gentle,,, yet so intimidating as he came to sit next to Yams.

Tadashi laughed as he wiped at the tears rolling down his face that were slowly coming to a stop. "Yeah, yeah... I really am... wouldn't you be after someone you've loved for almost forever turns you away and breaks your heart? Not that it's anything huge..." He smiles and laughs it off, turning his broad shoulders to face the boy who now sat next to him on the ledge.

"What're you even doing up here? Contemplating your existence?" He looks at Yams, a concerned expression overtaking his face. "You weren't actually, were you...?"

Yams laughs even harder, "Oh no, nothing like that... at least not with you here." He winks at the guy next to him, noting his humor.

He blushes, "Do you have a name, Mr. Mysterious Rooftop Guy?"

"Nope. Just Mr. Mysterious Rooftop Guy." He tries his hardest to keep a straight face but it doesn't last long.

Soon the two are doubled over in laughter. Their shared laughs lead into them talking for hours on end about everything happening. Who changed their major, the new coffee shop downtown, how expensive the laundry's are, and everything in between... Or at least as much as they could fit in before the sun had completely set and it got cold.

Yamaguchi shivers from his spot as the two boys continue to laugh. "Wow... I never knew that Mrs. Paisley could rollerblade..."

"And neither did I until last Thursday!" Once again, the boys crack up in a fit of laughs.

"Oh. Ow, ahh... my sides hurt from laughing so much."

"Do they now, Mr. Mysterious Rooftop Guy?" This time the boys fell silent, feeling both comfort and tension in the air between them.

"Uhm... You can call me Yamaguchi or Tadashi.. or Yams or whatever really... that's my name... figured you should know it if we plan on spending more time together...?" Yamaguchi was hopeful with the last part. He wanted nothing more in this moment than to keep this new boy in his life for as long as possible.

"Tadashi Yamaguchi... cute... just like you," He turns to wink at Yams before putting his arm around Tadashi's shivering shoulders.

Yamaguchi leans into this new boy's touch, feeling something much more than what he once had with someone completely different. "What's your name, Mr. Mysterious Blonde Boy?"

"I don't think I have one... I quite like Mr. Mysterious Blonde Boy... don't ya think?" He whispers into his new friend's ear, his face very close.
