Fancy
Yoh gulped as he pushed the sliding doors open to the living room of Flame Inn. He had repeated to himself what he was going to say about a million times today, a billion times the last week. He had looked up how to say what he wanted to say in the boy's native language so the other wouldn't have the slightest chance of getting confused if he said it in Japanese. Yoh stood in the doorway for a moment, watching the other lounging on the sofa. The other finally looked up, realizing he was not alone anymore and smiled as he realized it was Yoh.
"Hullo, Yoh!" Lyserg put down the novel he was reading as Yoh walked up to him. Yoh recognized what Lyserg had said in English (he had practically memorized almost every English phrase on that web page) and saw the novel was also in English.
"What…are you…doing?" Yoh asked in English, painstakingly stringing the words together.
Lyserg looked at him with a bewildered look on his face before bursting out in laughter. "Yoh, are you trying to speak English? Why?"
"Because most people in the world know it," Yoh responded in Japanese, frowning. "And you know it too."
"Since when have you cared what most people do?" Lyserg giggled at the memory of Yoh's English again. Lyserg scooted closer to the older boy until he was as close as possible. "I like you the way you are."
"Yeah." Yoh circled an arm around the younger boy and smiled as Lyserg slid up until he could lean against Yoh's shoulder. "Lyserg, listen…"
"Hmm?" Lyserg turned up to look at him. "What?"
He had repeated this so many times and he had even started sounding like how the web site had said it. He was sure (quite sure) that there were no other words Lyserg could confuse it with. Taking a deep breath, Yoh blurted it out. "Lyserg, I fancy you."
Lyserg blinked twice before his eyes widened. "What?"
Oh crap, did I say it wrong? No, I don't think so. What if I said it with such an accent that it came out wrong? What if I said something wrong? Oh no, I probably said it wrong. Why else would he act so surprised?
"Um, what I mean to say is…"
"If," Lyserg murmured, breaking Yoh off, "you're trying to say how you feel, an 'I love you' will do."
What? Why didn't the site say that? Damn it.
"That's what you're trying to say, right?" Lyserg asked, looking up at Yoh again. The latter nodded.
"Then say it."
"I…love you?"
Lyserg laughed. "Don't say it like it's a question if you mean it!"
"Hey, I'm not fluent in English."
"Try it again." Amusement danced in Lyserg's eyes as he looked up at Yoh again.
"I love you," Yoh said, with more strength and conviction in his voice.
"Good job!" Lyserg laughed as he cuddled up to Yoh. "And if it makes you feel better…" He paused, and Yoh noticed his face turn pink. "I fancy you too."
Aw, jeez. It worked. It worked!
Note to self: give that stupid site a positive review.
Owari
Note: I'm not sure if anyone else has done this idea yet, so I apologize if they have, I was not trying to copy. I was going to make this into a drabshot, one my drabshots that I haven't updated in a long time, but it was longer than most of my other ones, so I decided to give this drabshot a link of its very own. I've been writing a lot of YohxLysergs lately…where is Hao? Review before you go, thank you!
