A/N: Hello my minideres~ Did you miss me *shot* Well, I miss you guys! *sobs disgustingly* I'm sorry for the short-run hiatus. (Mid-term examination hang-over is the worst!) So I wrote this as an apology while I still have time before I get buried alive in university. Hope you enjoy :) R & R darlings~

"Gareki, will you kiss me?"

Such a simple question can make someone die inside and out, and that someone is Gareki. He didn't know why Nai would ask him something he didn't know already. Nai was slow afterall, he asks obvious questions that can be answered by a kindergartner, but this inquiry was different, he was feeling it, not like all the other objective curiosities Nai had brought him. He was at war with himself. He doesn't know what to answer, no tactical maneuver to initiate, no escape. Nai has those eyes that wouldn't leave you alone until he's satisfied. How in the hell did he get in this situation?

Flashback~

It was a quiet morning for the second ship, inside Nai and Gareki's room, the curtains were undrawn so the sunlight would not awaken the residents. The black-haired boy of the duo was already awake though, cherishing the silence of the morning. He was not really a morning person, he gets rash whenever anyone goes to his personal space just to greet him a damn 'good morning' or be shaken up by those weird sheep. He did realize that only in the morning was he able to have peace and not get annoyed by a certain blonde and a half-animal. He rolled to his left, trying to find a more comfortable spot, he rolled to his right, then stretched his limbs and curled up to a position that would coax him a few more minutes of shut-eye. His plan was shattered, when a stiffled yawn broke through the silence and the sound of ruffled blankets indicate the awakening of Nai. A mop of white hair peeked through the railings of the top bunk, not wanting to be disturbed this early, Gareki turned his back and feigned sleep.

-Liney-

Nai had a feeling he woke up earlier than usual; 1) The sheep didn't wake him yet and 2) Gareki was still on his bunk. Ruby eyes looked at the turned figure on the top bunk. 'Gareki's still asleep? Maybe it is too early to wake up.' The white-haired boy climbed the ladder and fit himself in the space that was left unoccupied. He pressed his forehead against Gareki's back and snuggled closer, loving the warmth eminating from his friend and instantly fell asleep.

-Liney-

Meanwhile, Gareki was blushing madly at the affection he received. He was shocked as to why Nai didn't go to sleep again at his own bed. 'Damn that stupid animal!' Gareki thought, restraining himself from waking Nai and telling him what kind of idiot he was. He couldn't move from his position, he was squeezed in between Nai and the wall, without waking up Nai and getting more embarassed. He moved to his right, trying to roll-over so he could get away. It was successful, though, half-way, because at the right moment, Nai, at his unconcious state, softly grabbed Gareki's arm and pulled him down. Gareki having no will to wake the niji, just let him get away with it, and it lead to one of the most awkward situations his been in. His right arm was still in Nai's grasp, the younger's face buried in between his shoulder and neck. He could feel the soft breaths tickling his neck, sending shivers down his spine. 'Shit. This is awkward.' With his free hand, he went to move Nai's head. He tilted boy's face but couldn't help himself from admiring it. The smooth porcelain skin fits Nai's innocent face. Those pair of smooth pink lips, untainted, just begging to be kissed. Gareki released the cute face, shaking his head and blushing harder at his thoughts. 'Ugh. Stop with those thoughts. Perverted hormones.' Unbeknownst to Gareki, eyes fluttered to his rough movements.

"Gareki *yawn*, is it time to wake-up?", Nai asked in a sweet voice.

Gareki looked at Nai for a moment, and looked away before replying.

"Yeah it's morning already. And get the hell off me."

Gareki half-heartedly shoved Nai away and sat up.

~End of flashback~

"Gareki, will you kiss me?"

'Did Nai read my thoughts? Damn it!' Blushing furiously, Gareki turned away from Nai and pretended to fix some string hanging loosely from a blanket. Keeping himself busy, he could feel those warm red eyes boring holes at the back of his skull. He flinched when a soft hand touched his shoulder,

"Gareki, please?", Nai pressed further. Gareki turned around and looked directly into

those red pools, searching for some hint of playfulness and mischief, but all he got was pure, innocent honesty.

Gareki let out a tired sigh, "Nai, do you really want me to do that?"

"Yes!" Nai answered immediately. His mood brightening even more, almost rivaling the radiance of the sun.

"F-fine, but promise me something, okay?" Gareki blushed and looked away, embarass at what he's going to do.

"Anything, Gareki."

"Don't tell anybody about this."

"O-"

The white-haired boy didn't get to complete his response as a pair of lips collided with his own. Calloused yet still soft hands were cupping his face, gently caressing the sides. After getting over the initial shock of the sudden kiss, Nai closed his eyes and kissed back, testing the waters.

Gareki couldn't believe what he was doing, he was kissing Nai, and he was kissing back. At least he won't be feeling guilty and regretful later, because it seems that he has achieved some sort of subconcious need, and that is Nai. Their kiss was chaste, not fleeting yet no lust can be detected, just a simple kiss of care and love. Lips pressed against each other just because. Both of them pulled away for the need of air. Gareki's blushed heightened a level and kept his head down. Nai, on the other hand, was smiling like the idiot he is.

"Gareki."

At the call of his name, Gareki looked up.

"Why did you kiss me there?" Nai asked with a tilt of his head, still smiling.

Gareki froze, feeling stupid of his act. Though the feeling of hurt is what reigned in his heart the most.

'Did I miscalculate? Maybe he really was just joking. He's been playing me.' Gareki wanted to cry, but he couldn't, he musn't, because Nai would get worried for him.'

"Gareki! Are you listening to me?"

"Wha?"

"Gareki, I said, Yogi kissed me yesterday on the cheek as a good morning kiss. So why did you kiss me on the lips?"

Gareki felt more stupid than before, he was overthinking things, and now he's ashamed at what he had done. Nai was only asking for a kiss on the cheek, but because of his idiocy, not only did he kiss Nai, he also discovered his feelings for the boy. Well, now thinking about it, it is a win-win situation for him, though Nai's still confused. Gareki shook his head and let a smile appear.

"Because it's my own good morning kiss, so don't tell anyone about that, idiot."

"Of course Gareki, I promised right?"

"Good."

Gareki then pecked Nai on the lips,

"Good morning, Nai."

Nai then kissed the tip of Gareki's nose,

"Good morning, Gareki."
