It's already ten o'clock and Shuusei is not here yet. I remember telling him that I will make a party tonight! That idiot and his stupid comitee activities! He told me that he will be here, but here I am, alone in the balcony with a drink in my hand standing bored looking up to the sky. It reminds me of that idiot! Damn, why me?

"Hotsuma-kun, will you join us?" Toko asks.

"Maybe..." I wasn't in the mood for such a cheerful girl like Toko.

"Shuusei is not here yet, is he?" she continues "It makes you mad?"

"He is not here and NO, it doesn't make me mad, I am just bored. And who the hell bought those drinks, they are for kids!" I hissed.

"Yuki-chan thought they were more healthy"

"I see." no mood to fight eighter.

"Yuki said if you are cold to come in the house." I heard her going back in the house but I still could hear her last words "Confess already!"

To confess? Well, I thought about it too but how, was my biggest question. I can't just go to him and say 'Hey Shuusei, I am in love with you since a long time and I hope you feel the same for me'. No, that was just stupid.

Why is my life that complicated? I mean, look at the others in the mansion, Yuki and Luka are already together (even if it took a while), Torikubo and Toko, no problems.

And still, why the fuck am I in love with my best friend? I know it all started from a strong guilty feeling but when did it turn to love? Maybe when I saw how beautiful he is, how shiny his eyes are, what a soft voice he has... STOP! I just sounded too weird!

I heard noise in the room and I turned to see what happened. That beautiful idiot just arrived home. Damn! Now what am I gonna say?

Toko is getting close to him and whispers something in his ear. Then he turns to me and smiles. That woman, I swear to kill her!

Then he came close to me. Well, that wasn't really what I wanted but I can handle this. Who the hell am I lying to? I fucking can't do this! This is fucking stupid.

"Toko-chan told me that you wanted to see me" he said quietly.

"I asked her where you are, not that I want to talk to you. I have nothing to tell you except the fact that you should anounce someone in the mansion when you are late. That's all." Oh god, I was a huge liar.

"Ok...if that is all. I was at the store to buy you this because you told me you wanted it, and I thoght you..." he didn't finish his sentence because I hugged him and I heard that stupid video game falling on the floor.

"Wanna tell me the truth, Hotsuma?" he asked "Just the truth, I don't want more or less. Just the words in your heart."

"I... l-...o-...v...e..." I couldn't tell more. I was already too embarassed to continue.

"I love you too." He told me and then took my chin in his fingers getting our faces at just a few millimeters distance.

I didn't know what he was about to do but then, he kissed me on my lips. At the start it was calm and soft but after I gave him the permission to deepen it, it soon became wild and passional. I felt his tongue in my mouth, moaning inside the orifice.

He stopped the kiss when he realized that I was out of breath.

"Maybe we should continue this in another place. Here, we are kinda exposed." he said and this time I understood what he meant.

"Ok" I answered, even if I wasn't too sure what I said but I suppose I have to trust him...

Next morning I barely woken up and I met Shuusei's gaze over me. A few seconds after I realized that I was naked and what I did last night.

"Oh shit..."

"What Hotsuma, you regret what we did? What I did?"

"No! It was just that my back fucking hurts, you idiot!" I said smiling.

"Oh. You still mean what you said yesterday?"

"Yes. Today and probabily forever."

And there was it. The end of silence in our relationship.
