My Sweetheart
Ryou stared at his ceiling listening to the music that floated out of his headphones. He closed his eyes humming along with the music. He sighed, his thoughts about a certain longhaired co-worker.
"Ryou?"
Ryou's eyes snapped open to meet Keiichiro's chocolate brown ones. He blushed slightly, taking his headphones off.
"Yeah, what is it?" He asked, looking out the window absentmindedly.
"The girls have gone home and the café is closed for the day. I hope I didn't interrupt your thoughts." he said, glancing out the window where a bird was flitting around.
"No, thanks Keiichiro." He said, his eyes following the bird's darting movement.
"You're welcome Ryou." He said, opening the door.
After Keiichiro had left Ryou sighed, his eyes turning to the door. Why did he get this way when his friend came near? He breathed in slowly; his heart's pace slowly returning to normal. He lifted his hand to his face and felt its blaring heat.
"What is this feeling?" he whispered, standing up gazing out the window.
"Why is it every time he comes near my heart races?"

Keiichiro sighed, staring at the stairs. Recently he could barely get a reaction out of his stubborn blonde friend, and now it was starting to bother him.
"Why does he have to be so kawaii?" he muttered, his eyes downcast.
Keiichiro closed his eyes, remembering how many times he wished he felt Ryou's soft lips against his. He valued his friendship to do something stupid like tell him how he felt, so he kept it all inside.
He opened his eyes and stared through the kitchen doors at the fridge. Getting up with a sigh he walked over. Suddenly he remembered Ryou hadn't retrieved his bottle of water. He perked up a bit and grabbed the bottle.
"I'll just bring this to Ryou…" he said happily, starting up the steps, water bottle in hand.

Keiichiro pushed open Ryou's door, looking in. He instantly blushed when he saw Ryou.
He had fallen asleep on the bed after removing his top. The window let in the light in such a way that it fell upon his hair transforming it into strands of gold. Keiichiro put the water bottle onto Ryou's computer desk and turned back to his secret crush. He walked over and knelt by his bed. Leaning forward he deeply breathed in Ryou's vanilla scent.
He couldn't control himself any longer. He leaned forward and gently pressed his lips against Ryou's silky soft ones.
Ryou felt warmth against his lips. He was startled but the warmth was calm and inviting. He leaned forward, pulling his partner closer and deepening the kiss.
When they broke apart Ryou opened his eyes and they widened in shock at who had kissed him.
"Keiichiro…I…"
Keiichiro looked at him with a look of uncertainty. Ryou fidgeted under his gaze, his eyes darting to the floor.
"Ryou, do you love me?" he whispered, lifting Ryou's face to look into his eyes.
When Ryou didn't respond, Keiichiro let go of him and stared to walk away hurt.
He stopped as he felt Ryou's hand wrap around his wrist. He looked down at Ryou in shock.
"Watashi…Aishiteru Akasaka Keiichiro." Ryou said nervously, his face a bright red.
"Aishiteru Ryou Shirogane." He said, kissing Ryou once more.
Ryou's eyes slid shut as he hungrily pressed his lips against Keiichiro's. He pulled away out of breath.
"Arigato, Ryou."
