Chapter 1: Yayoi
"Aoyagi-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Could you help Yayoi-kun putting those boxes back in the storage room?"
"Oh-Okay."
Ritsuka and Yayoi each got two boxes and walked all the way to the storage room and put them on the right shelves.
"Uhh…Ritsuka-kun…Thanks for the help, you really saved me, I wouldn't be able to carry all of these alone."
"Oh don't worry, it was nothing…Well then, let's got back?"
"Yeah..."
They were calmly walking upstairs when Yayoi slipped and fell on top of Ritsuka, the boy was quick enough to get a grip on the handrail and avoid an awful accident.
"You okay, Yayoi-san?"
"Ah-Yes-I-I'm sorry!"
"It wasn't your fault, anyway could you please move? You're kind of heavy."
"Oh-Sorry!"
Yayoi got off Ritsuka and got up. He pulled the other up and said yet another apology. Ritsuka just replied a 'It's okay' and kept on staring into Yayoi's eyes.
Unwittingly, Ritsuka's hand caressed Yayoi's face, making the boy blush and open his mouth as if trying to say something. The words didn't come but Ritsuka somehow knew what to do. He pulled Yayoi's face closer to his and kissed him. Their kiss was just sweet and made both part like they were under some kind of spell or something, their vision was unfocused and their hearts were beating soundly.
"Ritsuka-kun…'
"Yayoi-san, I'm sorry…I shouldn't have-"
"I-I don't mind…"
"What?"
"I mean…I…"
They kissed once more just to confirm those confused feelings, why were they doing that? Was there something between them for so long? How was it possible if neither thought about that until this moment?
Too many questions lacking answers, the only thing they did know was that by doing that, kissing each other, their minds were at ease, like a tranquilizer.
Their moment would've been long if it wasn't for someone showing up.
"!"
"Ritsuka, you'll come with me."
He dragged Ritsuka out and, no matter how much Yayoi tried to get him back, a few seconds later they were already out of reach.
