Sunshine on an autumn day,
tickling his hair,
making him smile,
and it's almost like a nice rare chance
He moves closer,
steps into a warm embrace,
not minding at all if they were a little sweaty
or if the wind chose then to start up
He wanted to press closer,
fall more in love with the man beside him,
dusting off the bruises of past loves
to be here
and to smile as if the world had never ached
or burned his heart
'I love you' is bitten off of his tongue,
and kept a silent secret,
waiting for the day that the sunlight could even reach that part
Nitori presses his hands closer,
molding fingers at the seams
and trying to memorize
how wonderful it felt and the sweaty interlocking under the gentle breeze
"You don't taste like I imagined"
Ai laughs at the thought that the man he's with spoke
"Is that a good or a bad thing?"
He doesn't feel alarmed;
he's grown to know him too well to worry
"It's not bad"
Blue eyes peer into Ai's
as if the ocean rushed in just this moment
to take him by the hand
"I liked it"
Ai smiled,
feeling his shirt billow out around him as he shifted
"I did too"
Ai can't help the wide smile that takes up his face that moment
he leans closer,
pressing like a flower to his hand
closer to just grab another kiss,
taste the almost sweet seeming taste of mackerel on his tongue
and memorize what they have for just a moment more.
