HiroMido (5-a)
It's in the middle of the night when Hiroto opens Midorikawa's door. For a while, he stays in the door, watching Midorikawa's chest move up and down as he sleeps, then he closes the door behind him slowly and moves up to the bed. Sitting down, he shakes the sleeping boy's shoulder. "Mido-kun, wake up," but he doesn't answer. "Midorikawa, wake up..!" Hiroto shakes his shoulder harder but still no response. So he leans over to his ear. "Midorikawa, this is an emergency, wake up!" and with these words, Midorikawa opens his eyes. "Wut? Is it morning already?" Hiroto shakes his head, "not yet, but I need your... Advice," he clearly doesn't get it. "What? Hiroto? What time is it?" his voice is sleepy and his eyes are barely open. "Ehm... Almost midnight.." "What?! What the hell are you waking me up for then?! Is there a fire or something?!" Midorikawa groans. "No but I need your help." He groans again. "Can't that wait until the morning?" "Not really.." "Fine then," he says and sits up. Rubbing his eyes he aks, "so what trouble are you in?" Hiroto looks unsure. "I ehm... I'm having a date with someone soon, but I have no idea how to do it..." Midorikawa frowns. "A date? Since when? With who? Why did you wake me up for this? At this hour? Me? I have even less experience with any kind of affection than you," Hiroto blinks a few times at all the questions and then tries to answer them. "With ehm... Ulvida, I asked her a few hours ago, when you were already asleep, I asked you because you seemed to be the right person I guess. Also probably you're the only one who wouldn't kill me when I woke you up at this hour." Midorikawa tilts his head at the statement, "and why wouldn't I?" Hiroto blushed a bit. "Because I am your best friend..?" he says unsure. Midorikawa taps his chin. "Hm... Fair enough for now, we'll see in the morning, first, case Ulvida-date-thing," he's wide awake. "First of all, what do you want to do?" Hiroto shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know, the usual Movie-Dinner one maybe? Or is that boring?" "Hmm," Midorikawa is in deep thoughts, "well, it's definitely not wrong but you might want to do something more special, it's Ulvida after all... Maybe you should show her something you never have..." "Wut? I don't understand." Hiroto shakes his head. "Well, a nice place in the hills maybe, with a view of the whole place, then make a picnic or something, girls like picnics, right?" Hiroto shakes his head again. "I have no idea, I have no idea about girls anyway," he chuckles, "some way it would be easier if she were a guy." Midorikawa's cheeks flush but he hides it. "Yeah, some way," he answers slowly. Hiroto looks down at him, then chuckles again. "What's so funny? Do I have something on my face?" "No, I just thought 'what if I would take you on a date, what I'd do then." Midorikawa clearly blushes now. "Oh, what would you do then?" he asks quickly, hoping Hiroto doesn't notice his red cheeks in the dark. Hiroto shrugs his shoulders, "donno, maye I'd take your advice and take you somewhere I haven't shown you yet," Midorikawa smiles. "But you have shown me almost everything here, you're the first person I met here." "True," Hiroto's lips twitch, "but who says I have shown you everything?" he half asks, half says with a smile. "I don't," is Midorikawa's answer. "But why are we talking about me now? Your date is with Ulvida, not with me," Hiroto nods. "Yeah... Hm.. So, I could do the regular Movie-Dinner but a special one is better, any other advice?" Midorikawa shakes his head, "not really, any other questions?" "What if it doesn't work out? What if I blow it? She'll hate me forever," Midorikawa laughs. "I don't think so, and you won't blow it," he adds with an assuring smile. "How can you know?" "I just know those things, you're a perfectly nice guy, cute, smart and funny, if you do it right, she'll love it, just make sure your hair is okay." Hiroto laughs. "Okay mister love-expert, I'll do my hair with extra care that day, alright?" "Alright, then nothing can go wrong," Midorikawa says and together they laugh until they lay on their backs. "We should quiet down, or we'll wake up everybody else and they'll kill us," Hiroto says. "Yeah," Midorikawa moves his hand slightly and it touches Hiroto's. He blushes at the slight touch and hopes Hiroto doesn't notice anything. But Hiroto does, at the moment he feels Midorikawa's hand touch his, his heart jumps. 'Should I tell him?' he thinks and bites his lip. He turns his head to Midorikawa. "Say Mido-kun," he says and Midorikawa turns his head to him. "Yes?" he gulps when sees how close they are, with their hands still touching, Midorikawa's skin heats up and he blushes again. "What if I told you the date wouldn't be with Ulvida, but with someone else?" Midorikawa frowns, "then I'd be confused, and depending on who the person is, I'd be mad at you for lying to me," is the answer. "What if I told you that the date would be with you?" "Ehm..." Midorikawa turns red. "I wouldn't be as mad as if it were anyone else, but the chance is small it'd actually be me so I'd probably laugh at you and you'd have to ask me again to show that it wasn't a joke." Hiroto frowns, "why would it be a joke?" Midorikawa looks away, "because you're too cute for that, I'm not good enough to be with you like that, like friends okay but lovers? No, you deserve better than me," the sudden stream of words even surprises Midorikawa himself. He didn't think he had the courage to say it. "Why wouldn't you be good enough for me?" Hiroto's voice is soft. "You deserve a whole lot better than a broken boy who doesn't know anything about love or anything that has to do with affection." A tear slips from the corner of his eye and Midorikawa swallows the sadness that's about to overtake him. "What do you mean? How could I not be able to love you?" "Like I said, it makes no sense with me I have no idea how to deal with any kind of love or affection." "I don't either, but that doesn't stop me from loving you, Mido-kun," Midorikawa turns red. "I-I don't understand, I thought you asked Ulvida..." "I lied, I came to your room to tell you but I couldn't bring myself to it so I made that up, to get your attention, to see any reaction from you, I know I shouldn't have lied to you and that was stupid but I had to find a way to tell you. Midorikawa I-" Hiroto's word flow is stopped by Midorikawa's finger on his lips. "So, just to be sure, you... Love me?" Hiroto nods slowly. Midorikawa smiles, "So, when is that date?"
