hold on and stay (kenhina)

"Kenma! What's your favorite flower?" The young Hinata asks his new friend that just moved in the neighborhood. They were at the flowerbed near the playground. Admiring the different colored flowers that surrounded them.

"My... Favorite flower?" Kenma asks, slightly puzzled, he never really thought of having a favorite flower, he never really thought of a favorite for anything in that matter.

Hinata grins widely showing his incomplete teeth, a gap in the middle indicating that a tooth just fell not too long ago. "Yeah! You have to have a favorite flower y'know"

"Hmmm..." Kenma thinks looking down, stick in hand while playing with the dirt below him. "I don't know..."

Hinata pouts in frustration "Don't tell me you don't have a favorite flower?"

"Well, do you have a favorite flower Shoyo?"

"Of course! Mine are sunflowers!"

"... Sunflowers?"

"Yeah!"

"But why sunflowers?"

"Well at first you wouldn't pay it that much attention but if you only focus on that particular flower you'll realize how pretty it is"

Kenma was intrigued, Shoyo was an airhead so he didn't expect that kind of response. "Sunflowers huh"

Hinata smiles "They kinda remind me of you, Kenma."

Kenma's eyes slightly widened, he felt light and warm, a fuzzy feeling in his chest started to develop and it would only happen whenever he talks to Shoyo.

A basic looking flower like a sunflower that only looks pretty if you look at it more carefully, does that mean Shoyo looks at Kenma in midst of all the pretty flowers around him?

Does that mean Shoyo can see beauty in someone as simple as Kenma?

Shoyo, someone so bright, he can make anyone smile in an instant, he's so perfect and pure.

Kenma always thought he never deserved to be treated like this, treated like someone so important to Shoyo. But even if that was the case, he still wants to be beside the shining sun with ease. Even if that was the case he still wants his hands to intertwine with Hinata's.

He didn't care if he doesn't deserve it, he just want to be happy.

But I guess destiny had to play them, stuck to this maze called love, Kenma lost his track.

Shoyo Hinata.

When Kenma confessed, what he said didn't come from the heart, he was desperate, he didn't want to go blind.

When will be the day I'd say I love you?

Will I be able to say it?

....

"K.... Ke.."

"Kenma!"

The blonde snapped out of his dream, sweating as he sat up from his bed, he kept dreaming about his past as if he's going to die soon.

"W-Who"

"It's me, Shoyo" Hinata holds Kenma's hand, calming him down, it's been a week and he's still can't accept the fact that he's blind.

Kenma sighs laying down, he couldn't tell if the therapy was working or not, but the mere presence of Shoyo can easily make him feel at ease.

Hinata couldn't leave Kenma's side ever since the day the stars stopped.

At first he did this because of guilt.

But the longer he stayed the more he realized how vulnerable Kenma is, Hinata wouldn't dare to leave Kenma, it's not like he couldn't, he just didn't want to.

Kenma meant so much to Hinata, and he just realized this.

He wants to be besides Kenma 'til the day they were too old to even walk.

He wants to be with Kenma no matter what.
