If It's You and Me

Chapter 1

The round clock on the wall struck twelve o'clock in the morning. A teenage boy was stretching his well-toned muscles on his bed, long legs spread widely into a perfect split. It became a daily routine for him before going to bed since he needed to keep his body condition in check at all times for competitions coming ahead.

Ting! Tong!

The doorbell rang, halting the boy's stretching process.

"Who is it..?" Fujiwara Takeru, a tall high school boy with smooth raven hair answered the door of his apartment to find a familiar light blond haired boy drenched from the rain standing miserably in front of him.

"...hey. Um, Fu-fujiwara..." The blond squeaked in that small voice of his, in which Fujiwara could detect a slight tremble from it.

"Yagami? What happened?" He asked, but swiftly grabbed hold of thin, wet wrist and pulled the soaked boy inside before shutting the door. Yagami Riku was his childhood friend who lived next door when Fujiwara was still staying with his family. He soon moved out after entering high school since his current apartment was closer to a park where he would practice parkour running with members of the school's Stride Club.

"Wait here. I'll go and get you a towel and some clothes to change into." The stoic bespectacled boy disappeared into his room and came out shortly after carrying with him a white towel and dry, clean clothes.

Fujiwara ungraciously dumped the towel on top of Yagami's head and began drying off his wet hair quite roughly. "What were you doing walking in the rain at this hour? Don't tell me... you ran away from home again?"

Yagami said nothing, his head hung low in dejection. Fujiwara was reminded of a stray puppy he once found by the streets while walking home from school. Yes, Yagami definitely looked like a cute little puppy he wouldn't mind taking in and tending to anytime or any day.

Too bad, owner of those large dark brown eyes wasn't as friendly towards him and only him (sadly).

They stood face to face in complete silence for a while, Fujiwara's hands moving in a regular motion to dry off the wet hair properly. Yagami unconsciously closed his eyes, secretly enjoying the dark haired boy's touch and the small rustling noises made when cotton fabric met moist hair. It sent warm and soothing sensations all over his body the blond never knew he'd welcome them before.

"It's done." Cool, low voice broke the silence between the two boys and Yagami was brought back from his reverie. "Can you change clothes? Or do you want me to do it for you too?" Fujiwara sneakily asked, pulling the other's face closer with the towel. Their faces inches away, noses almost touched, hot breaths mingled together.

Yagami instantly blushed, feeling the heat creeping up on his face, his heart almost exploded out of his chest and pushed the ravenhead away in response. "D-don't be an idiot! Of course I can change on my own..!" He immediately snatched the spare clothes from Fujiwara's hands and sped towards the bathroom before closing the door forcefully behind him.

The taller boy smirked, sea blue eyes followed the flustered boy in mirth until he disappeared into the bathroom. 'Yagami can be so cute sometimes. Makes me wanna tease him even more...'

Yagami came out later looking very dissatisfied. "Why do you have to be so muscular again...?" The pale skinned blond complained, looking down at slightly baggy clothes that fell down his shoulders. He was only shorter than the other boy by two centimeters so they should have almost the same body build but it can't be denied that he was indeed skinnier. But, not that skinny okay!

A light chuckle escaped Fujiwara's lips, thin fingers slowly removed the black rimmed glasses and sapphire eyes made contact with chocolate ones. "Hmm, isn't it because Yagami's been slacking off lately?" The Cheshire-like smile never quite left his smug face as he continued, "Ah, but I do love your muscle proportion the way they are so don't worry too much."

"Screw you." Came the snarky reply from an easily agitated brown eyed boy as he made way towards the square coffee table and slumped his head on it. His right hand subconsciously wandered to the back of his head only to realise his hairstyle was ruined. Ah, his short ponytail became undone from running in the rain just now. He let out a tired huff, smooth cheeks all puffed up.

Biting down a rubber band at one corner of his lips, Yagami languidly pulled up strands of loose hair into a short, spiky ponytail, completely unaware of the intense gaze his teammate was giving. Fujiwara couldn't take his eyes off of the oblivious boy, his gestures somehow seemed adorably erotic even though he was just tying his hair up. The black-haired teen involuntarily swallowed thickly at such mesmerizing sight.

Yagami Riku was a natural seducer, so it seemed.

"Fujiwara..?" Yagami softly called out, hair already neatly tied up.

At the mention of his name, Fujiwara snapped out of his trance and awkwardly cleared his throat as he stood up and made way to the kitchen. "I'll go and get us some drinks. Is hot chocolate okay with you?" Yagami nodded slightly, feeling remorseful for imposing on the blue eyed boy in the middle of the night. "Sorry, Fujiwara. And thank you..." His ears went red from being all honest to the other person but he simply felt the need to express his gratitude.

"Haa... if only you were this honest with yourself all the time, Riku. You're cuter that way." Fujiwara carelessly commented and quickly dodged a flying book thrown by none other than an overly red faced Yagami. 'Don't use my first name so casually now, jerk...'

'Riku-chan, let's play together!'

'Look Riku-chan, a stag beetle!'

'Hey, Riku-chan, you're crying again?'

Yagami exhaled slowly, blinking back tears that threatened to spill from his brown eyes. "Why did you have to leave me too, Take-chan?" He whispered, reminiscing his childhood times together with Fujiwara. His parents, his brother and now Fujiwara. All of them had left him. He was all alone now. The blond brought his knees to his chest and buried his face in them.

A raven-haired boy was silently standing by the wall beside the kitchen entrance with two mugs of hot chocolate drink in hand, secretly listening to the quiet sniffles of his childhood friend. He clutched the handle of the mugs so hard until his knuckles turned white, his expression grim.

Fujiwara liked Yagami, more than a childhood friend, more than a family and more than anything. He was honestly in love with the blond. So, in order to conceal his abnormal feelings for the other boy, he left home and ultimately, Yagami behind. He thought he'd made the right choice in leaving his most precious friend before he did something stupid or regretful. But, perhaps it was the wrong decision after all?

Fixing a plastic smile, the ravenhead made his way back to the living room. "I'm back - " His sentence stopped short as sapphire eyes fell onto an unmoving figure leaning against the couch, already sleeping so soundly.

Placing the mugs down on the table, Fujiwara quietly sat beside the sleeping boy just in time for the yellow head to fall to his shoulder. His heart skipped a beat, his cheeks flushed rosy red in a flash. Hearing Yagami's soft breathing and seeing his chest rising up and down regularly strangely warmed Fujiwara's heart, filling his entire being with inexplicable bliss.

"I'm here, Riku. I won't leave you alone anymore."

Soon, two boys could be seen sitting comfortably close next to each other, the blond's head nested on the raven's shoulder, sleeping away all their worries and troubles for now.

To be continued...?
