I groaned, opening my eyes. The sun was starting to set, colors painted across the sky, as the gentle shine of the sun started to retreat for the night. I got up, rubbing my back, dusting off my vest. It had been a day since Aichi returned, and I was joyous. Even now, my heart felt at content to be with my mate.
Actually, I haven't personally told him how I feel. I thought, walking to the card shop I usually went to. When I was there, Naoki and the loud fanboy were exiting the shop.
"Oh, hey Kai!" Naoki grinned at me. I smiled.
"Where's Aichi?" I asked casually, but I was silently fearing that he would ask who Aichi was.
"He went to Fukahara." Naoki said, pointing at the opposite direction of my home. I nodded my thanks, and took off.
"Bye, Kai!" Naoki waved at me, and went to cross the street with the nerd.
I arrived, the doors sliding open. I couldn't help but show my excitement through a smile. I wanted to hug Aichi so badly, to kiss him, tell him how much he loved the bluenette, caress him.
Unfortunately, someone else had the same thought.
As I arrived at the door floor, I looked ahead of me. The door was open a slight crack, and I reached to open it, when I heard something.
"You know you've been gone for a while. I missed you." I recognized Ren's voice, and snorted in annoyance.
I just want to talk to him privately. I groaned in my mind. But my curiosity was growing, and I listened to the conversation, peeking through the crack. I nearly screamed at my red haired friend when I saw what was happening.
Ren was holding Aichi in a tight embrace.
Ren was holding Aichi.
Ren.
"Ah.." I could clearly see the dark shade of scarlet on Aichi's cheeks. He seemed lost for words.
"You know, I kinda wanted to tell you this, but we've both been very busy, and rudely interrupted.
Ren closed in on Aichi.
"I love you."
My stomach lurched, and I felt my ears grow hot.
That was what I wanted to say!
I watched in dread as they kissed, very delicately, as if Ren was scared that Aichi would suddenly shatter into a million pieces. I screamed in my head, tears going down my face.
They broke the kiss after a while, and Aichi smiled, that beautiful, angelic smile that I always loved.
But why didn't I love it right now?
"I love you too."
I couldn't take it anymore. I ran from the door, pushing the buttons on the elevator as the doors closed, and I sat in a corner of the small room, crying, feeling the same misery I felt when my parents died. I had so many things I wanted to say to Aichi, curse at him, shout at him, say how much I loved him.
Why...?
