Peach Blossoms in the Snow
When the sun goes down and the moon rises
You know your time to rule has come
Please forgive me of my lies to you
Because, I don't think I could live without you
Prologue
Touya, against his better judgment, stared at the back of his beloved Yukito's head. Touya knew that staring at your crush was not a good idea during school was not a good idea, but who could help it? He loved staring at the silver hair and imagining running his hair through it, and during a class as uninteresting as math, who could resist? "Mister Kinomoto, what is the answer to the problem on the board?" his teacher asked.
Touya blushed lightly. Having been staring at Yukito's head, he hadn't been paying attention. Touya stole a glance at the board and, to his relief, saw that Yukito had written the answer on the corner of a piece of paper. "Twenty-seven, ma'am." His teacher gave him a calculating look before returning to the front of the room.
A short while later the last bell of the day rang. Touya, who didn't have soccer practice, invited an agreeing Yukito over to his house.
"Touya, is there something wrong with you?" Yukito asked as they prepared to cross a street to one of Yukito's favorite bakeries (only since Yukito insisted on going there)
"No, why?"
"You haven't been up to your usual standards lately, so I'm just curious." As they started to cross the street Touya changed his mind. "There has been someone distracting me lately," Touya said.
"Really? Who?" Yukito asked, thrilled that Touya was opening up to him. Touya stopped and looked at Yukito, wondering how to put this.
"I'm not sure how to put this but –" he stopped talking as Yukito's chocolate brown eyes looked into his own black ones. Touya felt his throat dry up and knew the only way to tell Yukito was to show him. Without allowing himself to think about what he was about to do, Touya leaned over and kissed Yukito.
Yukito's eyes widened in shock. Of all people he could think of, he was not one of them, then again, he had not thought that Touya was gay or bi. If he had he would have done to Touya what Touya was doing to him now.
Touya pulled away, now rather embarrassed. "I guess I should leave now." Yukito was about to say something but instead noticed a speeding car coming Touya's way and neither had noticed the other. Without a second thought, pushed Touya out of the way, taking the hit for him.
