You Make My Heart Gou Toki Toki

After so long of assuming, doubting, and hating... the truth had come out. Three years of pent up sorrow and pain, Gou knew the truth. Tokio had never left him, nor had he given up. He had searched for him, looked high and low calling out his name. The news had completely taken him aback, still doing so, not having been expecting it. Standing in front of each other, they were completely silent, words caught in throats at the sight of the boy in front of them. Letting go of a breath he had unknowingly been holding, Gou reached a hand out, crystal blue eyes shining as it moved closer to Tokio's cheek.

When it was almost there, fingertips just about to touch skin, Tokio raised a hand to grab ahold of it. Gasping softly he felt a small shiver run through him, warmth flooding in immediately after. "Gou... arceus, I missed you so much." Whispering under his breath, the words could still be heard, letting go of his hand to put his own around the other. Gently he pulled Gou close, a light hug at first before he felt arms tightly move around his own waist, Tokio's grip doing the same.

"T-Tokio... " Stuttering Gou only pressed his forehead against the other's shoulder, grasping handfuls of his sweater. His face already felt like it was on fire, heart racing out of his chest at just knowing how close they were. The memory of Tokio's gaze was melted into his thoughts, soft yellow-green eyes piercing deep with warm lift of lips cursing his thoughts. The feelings he thought had disappeared all that time ago were quickly returning, cheeks burning as he could hear the other's breath.

Tokio let himself lean into Gou, cheek resting atop head of fluffy black hair, the smell of sweet honey shampoo filling his senses. "Gou." He had to say the other's name again, insides fluttering at the sound of it, "Let's go to the tree again!" Slightly pulling away he gave a bright smile, watching Gou look up at him as if he was the sun itself, happily nodding.

Oh how his smile lit up the world.

Cutting through the tall grass with Scyther's help, they made their way back to the tree they had stayed at so long ago, having grabbed and held each other's hands a while back. Neither had made a move to let go, though. Walking up to the edge of the hill they moved to sit down, legs hanging over the edge as they stared out at the beautiful view of the horizon in front of them. The sun was still bright and shining, but anybody could tell that it would soon begin to set, letting sundown break through in what felt like a few minutes.

The sight brought both of them back to the past, Tokio longingly staring out at the view as Gou shyly looked down with a blush. At first he didn't realize it, but his thumb was nervously running up and down the other's knuckles, tenderly touching warm skin which made his own heart skip. He only noticed when Tokio gave his hand a gentle squeeze, blush deepening and staying quiet at the feeling. "You know, I never looked at this sky the same way again. I'm glad now I can look at it and be happy."

Watching him from the corner of his eye Gou noticed that the other was looking at him, praying he wasn't too obvious as he turned to look back. How often had he looked at the sky? Just thinking of the endless of possible times had him weak in the knees, gulping a stutter down as he opened his mouth to speak. "Y-Yeah... me too. Actually, the day you got sick, um... " Growing nervous again he moved his other hand to rub the back of his neck, giving a small chuckle as cheeks turned red. "I actually brought hot cocoa and stew with star-shaped carrots. You were cold the night before, so... I wanted to keep you warm."

Gou was just about to start rambling about how weird and stupid that probably was until he saw the way Tokio was looking at him, heart pounding against chest as their eyes locked onto each other. Deep yet light green's, those resembling forest leaves, seemed to pierce into his soul. So soft... and bright... and... "-ou? Gou, are you there?" A voice resembling that of sugary sweet honey snapped Gou out of his daze, blinking a few times before returning to reality. "That was really nice of you... I wish I could've had it. Bet it was really tasty!" Humming for a moment, Tokio's brows lowered to a small lift, face practically screaming adoration for the other.
