"Hey Kazu…" Whispers the asshole who seems to enjoy keeping his friends awake.
"Yeah?"
They're lying down on the hill by the river bank, looking at the sunset, because that's what high school boys do. They've both just finished practice and are exhausted, so clearly a "lets waste time sleeping on a riverbank" session was in order, is what he remembers agreeing to. Not a "lets keep Kazu awake when he seriously needs a break" session. No one wants that.
"How would you react if I told you 'I love you'?"
Sigh
"How should I know," he mumbles in response to the weird question. Though his heart's already beating quickly. It's because they just finished practice, right? It must be…
"You'd have to actually do it if you want to know," he grumbles a second later. "Things never really play out the way you think they would…"
"Hmm…"
Silence at last. He closes his eyes, relaxed by the sound of the river flowing by and someone else's breathing.
"Hey, Kazu?"
"Yeah?" He's not opening his eyes this time. Somewhere, deep down, he still has hope that the crow will let him get some sleep soon.
He feels something warm on his lips, it feels nice. He opens his eyes a bit and recognizes the face in front of him. The amber eyes closed, the perfect tanned skin so close to him, the silky black hair just barely tickling his face. And as Ikki pulls back, ever so slightly, the jet blushes at the words.
"I love you."
(He doesn't punch the idiot for being embarrassingly romantic about the whole thing. He definitely does not do that.)
