Niou looks down at the vast expanse of land and water below them, and even he admits that he's just a tad bit scared right now. He glances at Kirihara, and is startled to see that the boy is far from scared, he's actually enjoying this.
"Ready, Haru-senpai?!" shouts Kirihara over the wind. Niou can barely hear him, but he nods anyway.
"If we don't make it through this…" Niou shouts back, but he trails off at the last second. If they don't make it through this, then what? He's not the kind of guy who would say something cheesy, so he keeps his mouth shut, and just nods again.
Kirihara's grin is even wider. "Yeah, I know! I love you, too!"
Niou barely has time to roll his eyes before they jump in unison, freefalling to their possible deaths.
But with Kirihara's hands in his, Niou finds himself smiling anyway.
