Tetsu and Suzu sat together in the empty room in the Shimabara brothel; Saya gone to fetch some tea and some delicacies treats to entertain them.

They had sat on the floor waiting for the girl to return not even aware of that their hands were inches apart, barely not touching in a mimic of the reluctance in accepting each other's presence here.

.

"Saya should be back anytime now." Tetsu broke the silence with a bored tone.

.

"Hmm." Suzu glanced back his way, not really making an effort to acknowledge the red-haired next to him.

.

But their eyes met and something seemed to draw them near, like and irresistible force that kept pulling them closer and closer. So close their noses were nearly touching; their eyes clearly seeing the specks and of colour in the other's irises, their breaths mingling...

.

Then the door slid open and Saya entered with the tea.

.

Tetsu and Suzu broke apart, rapidly putting a far distance between them.

.

Saya smiled at the silly boy's rivalry.
