~Choose Me~

I stare at you from afar, talking with your lover. Your sullen red eyes smile, but I know it is fake; deep down, I can tell that you are conflicted with your feelings. You love both him and me, something you cannot choose between. I have done what I could to stay away, but after our first meeting, I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Remember when we first met? You went out with your lover, strolling in the park. As your lover's closest friend I did not want to be rude and pass by without even a simple greeting. After I said hello, my eyes were immediately captivated by you; it was love at first sight. You were shy and quiet. A hat covered your snow-colored hair. Your red eyes met my eyes for a second; that second, however, lasted a lifetime. After that brief meeting, we would unexpectedly walk into each other when you were not with him.

After months of closing off my feelings and keeping my tempted mind under control, I confessed to you. I unexpectedly kissed you despite the risk of getting caught by him. I apologized for it being so sudden. Once we broke away, you admitted that you also have feelings for me. They cause you guilt as well, for you still harbor feelings for your lover. I not give you up. I approached you and yor lover after thinking about the memory we both shared.

Haku Yowane, my love, I wish for you to choose me and leave your lover-my brother and best friend. It is very selfish of me to ask for something like this but I love you too much. He has always received everything he always wanted; it is time for me to at least one thing he cannot take away from me: you.

My brother, I see that you are fighting for her heart too. Can you just give up on her? I am tired of having my Haku suffer. She cannot have both of us. I admit that I am a stubborn person about keeping her by my side. How about we let her choose?

A fight then begins between my brother and me. We punch each other with the same amount of force, hitting the same targets. It is like punching yourself at a mirror; we both look the same and have similar scarves but we like different colors; one likes blue and the other likes red. Despite Haku crying for us to stop our fighting, the two of us do not listen. Now we have bruises on our cheeks that are the same size and color. The fight for Haku's heart continues. We stop once neither of us could throw a punch anymore. Instead, we curse each other, almost to the point where we fight once more. Upon seeing you (Haku) break down, we finally stop our battle and try to console you. Your confused feelings then take you over and tell you to reject our pity. You go back home without much say in who you would choose.

It has been weeks since the fight between my brother and me. Your feelings are still not sorted out. I can tell it is a hard decision to make, but I am sure your judgement will be based on your own terms.

I do hope you choose me though, because you mean so much to me.

I purposely made this open-ended for you to decide which brother it is. It could be Haku dating Kaito with this fic being Akaito's voice or Haku dating Akaito with this story being in Kaito's voice. As a person who gets conflicted about love triangles in stories, especially if I write them, I can't tell which person to choose because they both feel like good candidates. I hope you guys enjoyed this! May your minds be torn between Haku choosing between Kaito or Akaito!
