I saw him when I walked in. He was lying there right on the floor, an arm thrown over his face, his eyes to be exact.
The only thing that diverted my attention off of the strange sight, was the small, open smile he had on his face.
The only thing that moved was his chest showing his slow, relaxed breathing.
My eyes, after going back up to stare at his slightly pink lips a little longer, trailed down to the cell phone he held tightly in his hand. The backlight had already turned off, so I couldn't see what was on the screen.
I had finally decided to take a couple steps towards him, still staring, but not saying a word.
I crouched down, and placed gentle fingers onto his hard chest that was still warm from the game we just participated in. My hand moved in rhythm with his chest that continued to move, up and down, slowly and relaxed.
Finally, I opened my mouth.
"Atobe…" I spoke, his name went softly off my tongue.
He slowly moved his arm, he looked up at me, his eyes having a slight sparkle in them. I smiled slightly back, my heart beginning to race.
"Oshitari…." He said in response. He lifted an arm up, slowly and placed it onto my shoulder. I was sure…. I was completely sure he wants exactly what I want. He was confused, but he finally figured it out, and now he's happy, that's exactly why he's like this. I knew the hints in our last game would make it through to him.
I continued to smile at him, letting him take his time with what he wanted to say. Strangely, he closed his mouth again, and instead of saying a word, he held up his phone.
I smiled at the device and at the fact that he was so shy to admit his feelings for me. I grabbed the phone, ready to see the words saying 'I love you.' that seemed so simple but meant so much.
My heart raced as I touched the phone causing it to light up in response. I looked down, my heart continuing to race fast as I finally saw the screen.
On it read:
From: Echizen Ryoma (Brat)
Love you…. Monkey King. Now stop spamming my phone.
My heart sunk.
