How It All Began
CONFESSIONS

(Hiei's POV)

Why does my heart speed up every single time I see him? What does this mean? How come I cannot bring myself to be sarcastic around him? Whenever I see him, I never want to leave – what can this possibly mean? Is this what those baka ningens call…love? But this can't be right. I am Hiei – such trivial emotions do not affect me…or…do they?

Perhaps I should tell him. But my love for him would be unrequited. He couldn't love me. After all, it is not possible to love the Forbidden Child, right? I cannot take it anymore. It troubles me too much. I have to leave.

(Kurama's POV)

I can feel Hiei staring at my back from the window. I have already decided that I love him. But he does not believe in love, correct? If I told him, he would just run away, and I might not ever see him again. My affection for him will be kept a secret.

I wish I could tell him. If only he would understand, but he wouldn't. He just left. Telling him would relieve the burden and weight on my shoulders that I carry because of this secret. I have to be honest with him. I have to tell him, otherwise there will never be the chance of us being together, and I will perish under this desire to be with him.

(Hiei's POV)

I have run at my maximum speed to a park and have found a tree. I can now ponder these confusing feelings towards Kurama. No. There is not time to think about this, for he is coming now. I can sense him approaching.

(Kurama's POV)

I walk up to him and look up, as he is sitting in a tall tree. I open my mouth to speak, but shut it. I am nervous. I sit down on a bench located underneath the tree and beckoned him to sit next to me. He does, and I begin, my stomach churning with anxiety.

"Hiei…I know this may sound awkward, but…I love you."

There. I have said it. I turn to see his reaction.

(Hiei's POV)

I stared at him in shock. He got up to leave, assuming rejection. I grab his hand and pulled him down. I look into his eyes. I use this moment to tell him MY feelings.

"…Me too."

Okay, so I'm not a good author (yet). Oh well, I have to start somewhere, ne? Please review so that I can improve! This is my first fanfiction ever!
