Tsunayoshi's P.O.V

After I closed the door, I leaned on it and stood there for a little while.

"I…Giotto-san…"

Do I… love him?

I couldn't stay in that spot forever, so I made my way to change my clothes.

"…"

As I changed, I kept thinking about earlier. Looking back, when Giotto played with the little ones, or when he would talk with the others, I didn't really liked that. I didn't like that they would receive Giotto-san's attention.

"Do I really love…Giotto-san…?"

I don't know myself when I started to feel this way. But, maybe it's just my misunderstanding….I mean, first of all, we are both guys…and also, Giotto-san is someone from the past.

A love that cannot become true…

"What is it that won't become true?"

"The fact that even though I love Giotto-san, he is someone from the past and….huh?"

I looked towards the door and saw Giotto-san standing there.

" I see…So Tsunayoshi loves me, huh?"

"Ehhh! W-wait a second! Since when…?!"

For how long had he been standing there!?

"Since when? Well if you really want to know…I've been here for quite a while."

I can't believe this….Without realizing, I confessed my love for Giotto-san…

"Tsunayoshi…I'm sorry, but I do not feel the same way."

Those were the words that I feared, the ones that I didn't wish to hear.

"You and I are both male Giotto-san…So please just forget about this…"

Giotto's P.O.V

Since I waited for quite some time and Tsunayoshi didn't came back, I decided to go to his room.

"?"

Just when I was about to open the door, I could hear Tsunayoshi's voice from the other side.

""Do I really love…Giotto-san…?"

"!"

What did Tsunayoshi say just now? Did my ears deceive me? I wanted to hear it direcly from him so I opened the door.

A love that cannot become true…

I understood what Tsunayoshi was thinking about as if I just read his mind.

"What is that won't become true?", I asked suddenly without thinking.

""The fact that even though I love Giotto-san, he is someone from the past and….huh?"

"I see…So, Tsunayoshi loves me, huh?", I said involuntarily. When he heard that, Tsunayoshi turned to face me, he began to tremble slightly.

"Ehhh! W-wait a second! Since when…?!"

Even when he is scared, Tsunayoshi looks adorable…I should punch myself for thinking that way.

"Since when? Well if you really want to know…I've been here for quite a while."

When Tsunayoshi heard my reply, his face become pale and he casted his gaze down.

"Tsunayoshi…I'm sorry, but I do not feel the same way." As I said that, I took a step forward, wanting to touch him, but he took a step back.

"You and I are both male Giotto-san…So please just forget about this…"

Forget about it? There's no way I can do that. It doesn't matter if we are of the same gender or that we live in different time periods…

"I'm sorry…"

"Don't apologize Tsunayoshi", I said to him bluntly, trying to sound as composed as possible.

"But!-"

"Don't you want to hear my confession?"

"Huh…?'

I took another step towards Tsunayoshi and he stepped away from me, until he reached his bed, where I proceed to push him down, causing him to fall down on it.

"Uwahhh!"

I was now on top of Tsunayoshi, making him unable to runaway and all I could do was gaze at his figure beneath me.

"Uhm..Giotto-san?"

I placed my hand on Tsunayoshi's cheek, who was now feeling easy about the whole situation.

"…What I said to you before…I didn't meant. I just wanted to mess around with you a little". After I said that, I lowered myself so that I could press my lips unto Tsunayoshi's.

"I like you Tsunayoshi and I don't mean that I like you as a grandson, but as a lover. I love you more than anyone else.

It seemed that Tsunayoshi, surprised as he was, understood that.
