'The sound of a dribbled ball...' Rukawa snapped out of his sleep, as he heard the one thing that could easily wake him from his sleep. And he smoothly swerved to the left, avoiding the lamppost which was directly in front of his bike.
He proceeded to the local basketball court and met up with Sakuragi.
Ever since meeting that day when Rukawa arrived, he and Sakuragi had been very close and are becoming closer still. And this day was no different from other days when they have 1 on 1's together.
"You win again," Rukawa said as he wiped off the sweat on his chin.
"You let me off easy," replied Sakuragi as he picked up the ball. He turned to Rukawa and asked, "Why don't we go get something to eat at Danny's? My treat."
Rukawa smiled and walked up to Sakuragi, "Alright, let's go."
The two made their way to Danny's to eat their breakfast. Afterwards, they went to Rukawa's house again, because Rukawa insisted.
Sakuragi had no idea why Rukawa had insisted on going to his house for no reason at all but he trusted his friend and he really liked the calm and peaceful atmosphere that Rukawa's house offered.
The two boys went to Rukawa's room as soon as they reached his house. Sakuragi went in and sat down on the couch inside the room Rukawa sat down on his bed. 'Damn it!' Rukawa thought. 'Why did I invite him over?' Suddenly, a smaller version of Rukawa appeared on his shoulder, it was his conscience (It was the little "angel" Rukawa, and I certainly have no idea where the "devil" version of him went to^^)
'You like him,' was the reply of his conscience.
'How can I like him?' Rukawa asked. 'He's a guy and so am I!'
'But you do like him,' replied his conscience matter-of-factly. 'If you like him go for him, lest you are not afraid someone might take him away.' and with that the little version of Rukawa disappeared.
Sakuragi was about to say something when he saw an unfamiliar expression on Rukawa's usually calm and expressionless face. "What's wrong Kaede?" he asked worriedly. "You're not yourself today."
"Huh?" Rukawa asked as he snapped out of his reverie. He shook his head to clear it and decided right then and there. 'It's now or never.'
He did not answer Sakuragi's question but rather, he stood up and walked over to the redhead.
The redhead looked at him questioningly and asked, "What is it Kaede?"
Rukawa crouched down so that his head was leveled with Sakuragi's then he held the surprised redheads hand in his and said, "I like you Sakuragi Hanamichi. I've liked you ever since I first met you but I was afraid that you would leave me alone just like all the other people that I have ever loved once I told you that I loved you. And now that we have become really close friends I became even more frightened that you would push me away, you could never imagine what I've felt Sakuragi."
"Kaede..."
Rukawa held onto Sakuragi's hand more tightly and that was enough sign for Sakuragi to remain quiet and wait for Rukawa to finish.
Rukawa looked up into Sakuragi's eyes and continued, "I love you but I'm not expecting you to love me in return. The only thing I'm asking you right now is that you don't become disgusted with me and that our friendship will remain as always..."
Rukawa's voice trailed off as he looked down, away from Sakuragi's eyes and started to do something he hadn't done ever since his mom's funeral - cry. Then, he felt Sakuragi's hands pull away from his grasp. 'Oh no,' he thought sadly. 'Don't make him leave, I desperately need him...kami sama please don't take him, the only person that has ever captured my heart, away from me. I don't want to be lonely again...'
Rukawa's thoughts were interrupted when he felt Sakuragi's hands on both sides of his face. He looked up with tears still streaming down his face and clouding his line of vision. "Sakuragi?"
The redhead smiled down at him and gently wiped the tears from his eyes saying in a clearly amused voice, "Will you wipe those tears from your eyes? What made you think that I would be disgusted with you and leave you behind?"
Rukawa could not believe his ears, "Do you mean...?"
Sakuragi didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled Rukawa's face closer to his for a kiss. After all actions do speak louder than words.
