Counting

this is a drabble.
"How much longer?" Miharu inquires, trying to make the question seem light and conversational.
Yoite doesn't need to think about it, doesn't need to pause. But he does anyway.
"Yoite?"
"About a month."
Miharu nods, staring straight ahead, his green eyes not particularly fixed at anything. The inclination to turn to his left and keep his gaze toward that direction was like a sin. Tempting and very bad. He sighs, defeated.
Yoite takes notice.
"4 weeks, 31 days and 2629743 seconds in a month."
"2629743.83 seconds." Yoite corrects.
"Right."
They are silent again and for some reason, the math has him thinking too long and too hard. Then it comes crashing down into his brain and to his fickle heart.
That Yoite has 4 weeks, 31 days and whatever number of seconds he said just a few moments ago.
Miharu stands, taking Yoite's chin in his little hand. He allows himself a slight smile and he leans forward, brushing his lips lightly against Yoite's cold ones.
When he pulls away, not too long after, Yoite isn't looking at him but he is shaking.
"Let's go." Miharu says quietly, deciding not to dwell on what he did.
Yoite, despite this, stands and walks a few paces behind. He knows he wants to say something. He knows that he wants to start with, 'what was that?' or 'do that again' or something along those lines. He knows that he hasn't wanted something --anything, in so long.
He also knows, it's going to be the longest 4 weeks, 31 days and 2629743.83 seconds of his entire life.
