Don't Leave Me Again… Okay?
Tokiya wasn't sure why he felt so surprised. It wasn't like he thought Otoya liked this stuff, but he knew he wouldn't put it past the redhead. Maybe that's why he was standing in the doorway too shocked to move. And then there was Natsuki… this wasn't a surprise to Tokiya, but the two of them together unnerved him slightly. They hadn't noticed him yet and continued on with their activities.
"Oh this is my favorite part!" Otoya mumbled, wide eyed. Natsuki sighed, nodding in agreement. Tokiya didn't know what to do, so he decided to slowly back out of the room and hoped they didn't even register he was there. He began to shuffle his feet backwards and slowly reached for the door handle. His quick thinking was going pretty well and he was sure he could make it out of the room before the two teenagers noticed his entry. Though there was a flaw, a fatal one. Tokiya didn't know his redheaded roommate had agreed to watch over Kuppuru, a little black cat, for Haruka. As he shuffled back he stepped on a passing Kuppuru, who in return let out a loud hiss.
"Tokiya!" Otoya's already wide red eyes grew even larger. "I thought you weren't going to be back until tomorrow!" Otoya blushed; he couldn't believe this was happening.
"I caught an earlier train…" Tokiya said, bringing his eyes to the ground. He was at a loss for words; the situation wasn't working out as planned, stupid cat.
"Ne Tokiya?" Otoya asked quietly, "You won't tell anyone, will you?"
"I-if you don't want me to…" Tokiya stuttered. He was stuttering, he Tokiya Ichinose was stuttering; what had this redhead done to him? Tokiya jumped when a small cough interrupted his train of thought. He looked over to the source of the sound. It was Natsuki; the blonde teenager pushed his glasses up and smiled warmly.
"Ichi can join us if he wants," he cocked his head to the side, waiting for a reply.
"Natsuki, I don't think Tokiya's into this kind of stuff…" Otoya tried to explain to his classmate while biting his lip nervously.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun," Natsuki whispered while chuckling.
"B-but…" Otoya stuttered trying to gain some ground. Tokiya had remained silent through this whole ordeal between his classmates. He wasn't really paying attention to them; he just heard the words. Tokiya felt Kuppuru rubbing his head against his leg, clearly forgiving him for stepping on him earlier. As he listened to his classmates' conversation he realized how strange their dialogue sounded out of context. It, it sounded… strange. The fact remained that there was nothing wrong with what they were doing. It was strange to see a boy doing this, seeing as though it was meant for teenage girls. In fact, it was named "Young Girl" for a reason.
"Oh no! Ittoki, we missed it!" Natsuki nearly shrieked.
"Rewind it, rewind it!" Otoya cried shrilly, clawing for the remote.
"Um… I think I'll go visit Ren and Masato. I'll see you later," Tokiya mumbled and headed for the door.
"Ne Natsuki, see he doesn't want to watch it with us!" Otoya pouted.
"Maybe if you ask him with that puppy dog face of yours he'll stay," Natsuki suggested. "He seems to have a soft spot for you," Natsuki whispered the last part and it seemed that only the ever-attentive Kuppuru heard.
"Tokiya," Otoya whined his name. He put on his best "lost puppy" face and looked at the older boy. Tokiya turned and winced at the sight of the adorable boy's face. "Ne Tokiya won't you stay?" he whined again, stressing Tokiya's name. Otoya had curled himself into a ball, his legs drawn in completely to his body and his hands tucked in near his chest. Tokiya had to admit that the face was one of the few things he'd succumb to; this practically guaranteed that he wouldn't be leaving. Tokiya tensed for a moment, had he, Tokiya Ichinose, really thought about leaving this adorable puppy-faced boy alone with Natsuki, who at any moment could become Satsuki? Tokiya began to worry about the redhead's safety. He drew his hand away from the door handle and put it back at his side.
"I'll stay in the room, but do not expect me to pay attention," Tokiya sighed as he headed towards his bed.
"Really Tokiya? Thank you!" Otoya jumped up from the ground where he was sitting and rushed to Tokiya to tackle him in a hug. "By the way Tokiya," Otoya began, looking up at his friend while resting his chin on his chest. He then whispered, "I really missed you; I'm glad you're back."
The redhead then detached himself from Tokiya and returned to the pillow and blanket on the ground. Tokiya, surprised by the sudden contact, went to his bed and lied down to start reading a book.
As the night progressed Tokiya couldn't help but to think about the hug. It was warm and sweet; Tokiya realized he wanted to embrace the puppy-like redhead again. He let his eyes wander to the two idols sitting on the ground, huddled in front of a laptop. His eyes roamed to Otoya, who was entranced by the shoujo anime playing out on the screen. Then he let his eyes curiously inspect the screen, a girl and a boy (could have been a girl… he wasn't sure) were hugging as the sun was setting in the background. It was an anime. It was a romantic comedy at that. This is what he had walked in on the two doing, watching shoujo anime. It was weird, but at the same time Tokiya found it just a little impossibly cute.
When it came time for Natsuki to head back to his room he left without question. There was an awkward silence as soon as Otoya had closed the door. Otoya began cleaning up the mess of pocky wrappers and popcorn that they had left on the ground, but the silence continued. Tokiya sighed as he finished his book, satisfied with the ending.
"Ne Tokiya?" Otoya asked as he finished putting the pillows and blankets back. "Did you really stay because I asked you, or was it something else?"
"You ask too many questions."
"Ne Tokiya, that's not nice!" Otoya pouted, unintentionally putting on his puppy dog face. His eyes became wide, his lower lip jutted out and his eyebrows furrowed together in frustration. The expression took Tokiya's breath away. Tokiya swallowed a lump in his throat and nervously began to think of an answer.
"Partially," he mumbled in reply.
"Really?" Otoya giggled. "Why else?" he asked, pulling his arms closer together and clasping his hands. He sat down on Tokiya's bed ready to start pestering him. "Ne ne Tokiya tell me!"
"I was… worried," he mumbled quietly.
"Why? I was just hanging out with Natsuki! Nothing to worry about…"
"It's nothing, never mind…"
"No, I'm sorry! Please explain! I want to know; I want to hear what you have to say!" Otoya grabbed Tokiya's hand and looked up at him apologetically.
"I was worried that if I left you alone with Natsuki that he would—well, turn into Satsuki and hurt you," Tokiya admitted with a slight blush on his cheeks. When Otoya heard this statement his face turned the same shade as his bright colored hair.
"Geez, when did you become so protective?" Otoya said playfully. Tokiya's face contorted into an emotion that Otoya couldn't quite pin. "B-but it was sweet of you to think of me." With that Otoya scooted closer to Tokiya and wrapped his lengthy arms around his roommates' neck, pulling him closer for a hug. It was nice to be close to someone, Otoya thought. After watching the romance in the anime Otoya began to long for a specific closeness that the hug seemed to satisfy. What Otoya didn't expect was for Tokiya to wrap his strong arms around his waist and pull him even closer. "T-Tokiya?" Otoya mumbled into his chest.
"Yes?" Tokiya whispered, softly nuzzling the top of Otoya's head, smelling his soft red locks.
"W-what are you doing?" Otoya asked, still mumbling into Tokiya's chest.
"What does it look like?" Otoya heard Tokiya scoff, but what he didn't see was the smile gracing Tokiya's lips. Otoya didn't reply; he just held on tighter, hoping that the older boy wouldn't push him away. "Otoya, are you okay?" Tokiya asked after the long moment of silence from the other boy. He then gently brought one hand up the back of his roommate's head and ruffled his shock of red hair, pulling his head closer to his chest as well.
"Tokiya," Otoya mumbled while nuzzling with the black-haired boy. He pulled his head up and rested his chin on Tokiya's chest and let a smile dance across his lips. Tokiya didn't know what to do; his adorable roommate was snuggled into him and smiling contently. Tokiya, for some reason, felt happy when the redhead let that smile play over his soft lips. Tokiya bent his head down so that the two's foreheads were pressed against each other. "Tokiya," Otoya repeated his name, "I really did miss you. I was lonely; so, don't leave for a while… okay?"
Tokiya smiled and simply replied, "Okay." With that he brought his face closer to Otoya and let their lips brush against each other. Otoya once again tightened his grip on Tokiya and pulled him closer than before. He tugged on Tokiya's neck and shoulders to pull himself up to be more level with him. The kiss wasn't much, barely even a peck, but afterward Tokiya rested his hand on Otoya's cheek and rubbed his cheek with his thumb in soft, slow circular motions. Then using the other hand he moved Otoya's bangs out of his eyes and looked at the blushing face in front of him. Otoya's eyes were cast down and his lips were parted ever so slightly. Tokiya leaned down again to kiss Otoya. Otoya lifted his head to help Tokiya meet his lips. This kiss was longer than the peck before. Tokiya marveled at how soft Otoya's lips were and how he just wanted to kiss him again and hold him close. Otoya finally pulled back because he couldn't breathe. He was gasping against Tokiya's chest. Tokiya then wrapped his arms around the redhead and pulled him closer and then pulled him down next to him on the bed, so they were lying next to each other. His arms were tightly wrapped around Otoya and Otoya's hands were clenching his shirt. Otoya's head rested on Tokiya's arm, and they fell asleep like that, in the other's arms.
