"I love you… I've always loved you."

The words were far too loud in the sudden silence that followed them.

The noisy panting and gasping that filled the room previously was gone, paused mid-breath and leaving an expectant pause as Akiyama looked up at Fushimi.

Fushimi mind was on standstill as he processed the words. He could barely formulate a response in his current state. Couldn't his subordinate have at least picked a better time to confess, when their heads weren't clouded from hormones and desire?

Akiyama's sharp green eyes were visible for once due to Fushimi's hand being tangled in his dark hair, and he focused closely on the man leaning over him, tracking the familiar blue eyes that were trying to look anywhere but back at him.

Reaching up, Akiyama touched the younger man's cheek. "I know, it sounds silly, but... Even before we started doing this-" he shifted his hips slightly, attempting to ease the discomfort in his lower body caused by the lack of movement inside him. "-I couldn't help but be... interested in you. It's more than just that though."

"That doesn't mean-" Fushimi stopped himself, his cheeks flushing darkly. Sick of the distraction, he tightened his hold on Akiyama's hair before he continued moving his hips.

"I- I mean it," Akiyama gasped, in between moaning and fighting to catch his breath, a fruitless cycle when nearly every thrust made him want to cry out in pleasure. "I love you Saruhiko," he insisted breathlessly, winding his arms around the other's thin, but surprisingly muscular shoulders.

"B-be quiet," Fushimi growled, moving his hand down between them and wrapping his fingers around Akiyama's cock, stroking and increasing his pace.

After a few moments, they were both swearing softly under their breaths, Akiyama reaching his peak first and leaving a mess in Fushimi's hand.

Immediately after, Fushimi was biting his lower lip to muffle his own noises as he came, shuddering slightly as he was enveloped by pleasure, along with the realization that he felt the same way towards Akiyama.
