"I love you." Eijun says with cold toes tucked under Kazuya's thigh and over horrible Chinese food. "I'm in love with you." He sits up fully, his hazel eyes looking gold. "You are the love of my life."

Kazuya is stunned silent. He's used to Eijun spouting whatever comes to mind, but this declaration has blindsided him.

"Holy shit, Kazuya Miyuki. I am ruined." Eijun is off the couch and pacing even as Kazuya remains frozen over old rice. "You ruined me. Like I should be scared as hell to want you because you are a horrible person─"

Kazuya makes a noise of rebut but Eijun plows on.

"Like the worst I know but here I am, wanting you anyway."

The room is silent when Eijun finally stops. Kazuya puts his take-out carton down on their coffee table. "You're done, right?"

Eijun nods like a chocolate lab.

"All right," Kazuya begins. "I don't have a lot to say to all of that, whatever just happened, but I know that we're forever, okay?"

Eijun looks even brighter than he's ever shined off the field. "Okay."


I wrote this awhile back; I think it was brought together from several writing prompts and quotes. I liked it and I wanted to post it before I chickened out.
