"My head hurts," Yukimura mumbled. He was lying on the floor of Akaya's bedroom. Akaya's dog, Sho, was sitting on his stomach. He had fallen asleep there an hour ago and was still out like Sleeping Beauty.
Kirihara rolled around on his bed so he could see the older boy. "Do you want some medicine?"
Yukimura shook his head. He put a hand over his eyes, but Kirihara could tell from the way Yukimura's face twisted that he was wincing.
"Is it that bad?" Kirihara asked softly.
Yukimura nodded. "It won't stop."
"You need to see a doctor."
He shook his head again. "No, Akaya, I'm fine. I don't like doctors. It's just... stress."
It's my grades. It's Emiko growing up too quickly. It's me freaking out about our relationship. It's me freaking out that we're in a relationship. It's –
Before Yukimura form another thought, Kirihara was kneeling next to his head. He was leaning down so their noses were touching. Sho let out something of a snore.
"Yukimura," Akaya said. It was strange not calling him buchou. It felt good on his lips. "Please don't worry. And if you need to worry, you can tell me. I told you that I'd be more considerate, that I'd be more attentive. I meant it."
Yukimura smiled at him. "Thank you. Kiss me?"
Akaya got that smile, the one that meant he had just saved the world. "Yes, yes, I will."
Akaya tilted his head, kissing Yukimura sideways. Yukimura wanted to stay frozen in that moment, just like that, and live there forever. For a moment, the worry disappeared, the pain was gone, and all he could think about was Akaya.
A/N: Holy crap I updated this for the first time since October of last year. I'm incredibly sorry for the long wait. I promise that I will finish this story. After fixing up some minor formatting errors with Geeks in Love (and re-reading every chapter) it made me want to finish its side story. I have some great ideas, and I still remember where I was going with the plot, so get ready for some freaks :)
