"I... I can't... I don't... " Red streaked across his cheeks, clashing with his hair, his ruby eyes wide to the point of pain. He twisted from the other boy's grasp, limbs trembling as he backed away. Fearful. Afraid.
Akira's heart clenched in his chest, emerald eyes dark with pain. "Why?" It was the only thing he could think to ask, the only question able to form on his tongue.
Mikoto winced at the question, able to hear in the other boy's voice just how much this was hurting. But he couldn't..! He couldn't...
"It's wrong," he choked out, eyes clenching shut. "We... we can't. I... Megumi-chan... "
"Do you love her?" His voice had grown quiet, calmer. He knew the answer. They both did.
"I...I... " Mikoto cursed his voice, the tremor that wracked his throat. He thought of Megumi-chan, of her kind, sweet smiles, her light voice as she told him goodnight over the phone...
And then he thought of Akira, of his shy, timid glances, the way his smile could command the attention of a whole room... the way he looked now, eyes tired and sad, a glimmer of hope left somewhere in the deep recesses of his green eyes.
"What do you want from me?" he whispered, feeling drained of all feeling save the warmth pooling in his stomach as Akira moved closer, fingers curling against his wrists. He didn't protest as he was pushed gently against the wall, a warm body pressing against his own.
Akira's breath gushed past his lips in a sigh as he leaned toward Mikoto's own. They met in a slow kiss, a slide of flesh against flesh, moist and sweet, a whisper of promise stealing across Akira's lips.
"I only want to make you mine."
