Hey! So this is going to be a collection of Leila x Akito oneshots. This fic was based on a writing prompt from Tumblr. The prompt for this fic was "Fireworks"! Hope you all like it!

Title: Fireworks

"What's going on over there?" Akito asked as he sat a stack of wood down and walked over to where Leila was sitting. He had been gathering firewood and when he got back, he noticed that the rest of the camp was bursting with excitement.

"There's an annual fireworks show tonight, and apparently, we can see them well from the river." Leila explained to him. "They say it is a beautiful show, so everyone is really excited to see it."

As he looked over at everyone, he smiled. He thought about their days in the W-0 unit and realized how nice it was that everyone could be so carefree. Here they didn't have to worry about the war or the next mission or losing comrades.

While he was thinking, Leila reached over and grabbed his hand. He turned to her, and she smiled at him. "Will you go watch them with me, Akito?" She asked.

As he looked at her, he felt the same strange feeling that came over him after she kissed him. He had been feeling this a lot lately when he was around Leila. It was happiness mixed with anxiety mixed with a strong desire to kiss her. As he thought about their first kiss, he began to feel nervous. Leila had surprised him with a kiss when they arrived at the camp, but she hadn't kissed him since. They had held hands and danced together, but that was it. He hoped he hadn't done something wrong. He had never been in a relationship before, so he wasn't sure what he was doing.

"Akito?" Leila said getting his attention. "Did you hear me?"

He turned his attention back to her. "Yes. Of course I'll go with you." He replied as he smiled back at her.

BANG! BANG!

The sky lit up in burst of color as the fireworks began. Akito and Leila were sitting next to each other by the river. Ryo, Yukia, and Ayano were sitting in the grass behind them with the old ladies and Anou. Ashley and his gang were spread out along the river beside them. Akito though was only focused on Leila. He watched as her eyes lit up like the sky. He watched as she laughed whenever Ryo and Ashley jumped up and cheered enthusiastically when a firework disappeared. He watched as she became captivated again as another firework went off. She looked so beautiful in the glow of the moon and the shimmer of the fireworks' embers.

He reached over and grabbed her hand. She turned towards him and smiled.

"Comman-I mean Leila." He began. He was still getting used to saying her name.

BANG! BANG! A burst of red and pink.

"What is it, Akito?" Leila asked.

BANG! BANG! A fountain of gold.

He was about to say something, but as he stared at her and felt that strange feeling flood over him, he forgot what he was going to say. Leila then began to turn her attention back to the fireworks. He noticed and quickly grabbed her face and kissed her. He had been wanting to do this for so long, and now felt like the perfect time.

BANG! BANG! An explosion of blue and gold sparks covered the sky.

As Akito pulled away from Leila, he felt like his heart was about to burst too.

"Akito." She whispered. She was touching her lips.

"I'm sorry." He apologized. He hoped he hadn't messed up by surprising her with a kiss.

Leila just laughed. "It took you long enough." She joked as she leaned in and gave him another kiss.
