It was a Sunday. It was a fine one, too. The sun was shining, a cool breeze was blowing by. What, on this fine Sunday were our main characters doing?
Fidget.
Fidget fidget. Sitting on a bench, Len was jiggling his leg, then he was biting his lip, then he was tapping his fingers on its arm.
The bench's arm.
He was waiting, waiting for the rain, waiting for the sun to go down, waiting for a reason to leave. He'd rather not spend Valentine's Day alone.
He clutched at his arms, bitten fingernails digging into flesh.
Just for a bit, he thought. Just to feel something. Just to make the time pass.
A couple passed by. Yellow and teal.
He silently wished for rain.
It got brighter.
Len scowled, cursing the sun. You did the exact opposite of what I told you to do, he thought. Just to spite me. Fuck you, sun. Fuck you, bench. Fuck you, wor-
"Um…"
A bouquet of flowers was shoved under his nose. He looked up. Blue hair, tall stature, a tiny scrape on his nose. Kaito Shion.
Wait, Kaito Shion?
•••
Len looked up at Kaito, like he was taking him in. He looked up and down for a second before looking completely and utterly puzzled.
"Were you looking for Rin?" He droned, an awkward smirk fighting to stay on his face. Kaito glanced to the side for a second, caught a glimpse of Miku and Rin on a date, then looked back.
"Uh, no, actually, I was, uh, I wanted to, um-"
Len took the flowers.
"They're for me?" Len turned his head to the side, eyes resting on a patch of mushrooms to the side. He shuffled over on the bench, patting the spot beside him.
Kaito sat down. He looked at the back of Len's head, messy ponytail barely contained by the hair tie.
"Yeah," he said. "They're for you."
Len was silent for a moment. He shifted and looked at Kaito out of the corner of his eye.
"Thanks," he mumbled, lips barely parting. "I…"
Kaito grabbed Len's shoulder and turned him around.
"I love you."
Kaito kissed him, warm and gentle.
"I love you, love you, love you," he whispered, mouths still only millimeters apart.
Len closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Kaito, moving to rest his forehead on the taller's chin.
"I love you too."
This is 401 words.
Short and sweet.
Also because I need to update.
