Akira gulped as he took in what Hikaru had just said, not even realizing yet that he was actually sitting in the boy's lap.
We're stuck?!
We are stuck???!!!
Me and Hikaru... STUCK!!!!!?????
The fact that they were stuck finally registered in Akira's head. Suddenly, he was confused at why he was unusually comfortable, as though he was sitting in one of those bean bag chairs, a surprising warm bean bag chair.
Oh my GOD! I'm sitting in his LAP!
Akira almost screamed.
This all happened in merely seconds, Hikaru didn't even realize the inner turmoil going inside Akira's head, he was just looking around trying to find a way to call the people.
Akira almost bolted up from Hikaru's lap, trying desperately to scramble away from the other boy. Hikaru finally looked curiously at Akira who in his attempt to pull away from him caused Hikaru to knock his head on the wall he was leaning on.
"Ow!" Hikaru yelped, rubbing his head sorely. Akira had finally managed to untangle their limbs and scuttered as far away as he could away from Hikaru, finally leaning against the wall on the other side. Hikaru was hurt.
" I never knew you hated me THAT much, you looked like a rabbits running away from a wolf about to devour it.
Akira shook his head. For a moment there, I was about to devour you. He saw the sad expression on his rival's face and as much as he was confused, he wanted to make it go away.
" NO! I mena... no... I don't hate you... it's just that umm... I'm afraid of uh..." Akira searched his mind for an excuse. " Uh... closed dark spaces."
Hikaru seemed relieved as he gave a toothy grin.
"Don't worry, they'll find someone to get us soon."
Akira nodded, his eyes darting from side to side. His face flushing red and he didn't know what to say. Hikaru took it the wrong way and scooted nearer to Akira, much to the boy's dismay.
"Jeez, you really are scared aren't you."
Scared of you.
"Here, sit closer to me, you might feel better."
Heh! Fat chance of that.
Akira shook his head vividly and hugged his knees to his chest. Hikaru shrugged.
" Are you sure you're okay..."
Akira tried to find his voice.
" Yeah... Yeah! Of course I am..." Akira replied shakily. Hikaru stared at him strangely.
" Boy... You sure are acting weird today." Akira didn't reply so Hikaru assumed that this was the end of the conversation.
Akira rested his head on his knees, his long black hair falling about his face. His face was hidden from Hikaru's sight due to the lack of light, thankfully too because Akira was SURE his face must be tomato red by then. There was a brief silence between them, Akira usually enjoyed silence, but not the kind that held such tenseness. It was finally broken.
" I wonder why they haven't fixed it yet." Hikaru voice piped up.
Akira couldn't find his voice so he only lifted his head. His eyes adjusting to the darkness now, he was able to see the silhouette of Hikaru. Akira shivered; it was only a day ago when he had been dreaming of being with Hikaru in a dark small place alone. Now he didn't know what to do, because in his dream, he was sure then that Hikaru had the exact same feelings for him. It obviously isn't the same.
Hikaru watched Akira; seeing the boy shiver for a moment, he raised a brow.
" Akira, you could take my jacket off your waist and wear it you know, if you're cold or something."
Akira jumped at Hikaru's voice and obediently stood up in order to unwrap the jacket from his waste. His fingers clawed blindly at the knot as he tried to pull it open.
Hikaru stood up and pushed Akira's hands aside before he even knew it.
" Huh?" Akira exclaimed as he stared up at Hikaru's barely visible face.
" Here, let me help you." Hikaru mumbled as his own slim fingers worked at the knot. Akira was too stunned to do anything. But his stomach just lurched every time the other boy's fingers innocently touched his stomach as he pried the knot apart.
Hikaru smiled as he continued to tug at the knot.
" I really tied it tightly didn't I?" Hikaru said quietly.
Akira replied with a nod, not really trusting his voice at the moment. Finally, the knot came loose and Hikaru wrapped his arms around Akira's waste to pull the jacket off him. Akira blushed for about the hundredth time that day and cursed himself again for the hundredth time that day for blushing.
Akira was about to take the jacket when Hikaru smiled.
"
I'll put it on for you."
Akira was confused. What?
Hikaru's fingers brushed his shoulders as he draped the jacket on his back. Akira looked away quickly when he saw how Hikaru's face leaned towards his. When the jacket was worn comfortably, he was about to sit down when Hikaru stopped him by grabbing his arms.
Akira stopped, as did his breathing and probably his heart.
He did not dare to look up at Hikaru's face but he did. He did not dare look at those bright green eyes but he did. And when he did, he was surprised to see worry and a gentle care inside.
Akira paused. Hikaru was still holding his arms, he realized faintly.
Suddenly, he gasped when the Hikaru grabbed his by the shoulders and pulled him towards his chest. Hikaru quickly wrapped his arms around the other's back, finally settling one hand on the right side of Akira's waist and the other cupping his head. Hikaru then leaned his head onto Akira's shoulders and hugged him tightly.
Akira's body tensed up right when they came into contact, but he realized soon enough, his arms falling limp on his sides.
" W-What are you doing." Akira stammered after a long pause.
Hikaru pulled his head back to face Akira, his arms still around Akira and smiled that warm smile of his, Akira felt his heart pound more heavily and more quickly than ever, seeing that goofy grin on the handsome boyish face.
" You're scared aren't you? Well, sometimes, when I'm scared, my mom hugs me and I don't feel that way anymore. So maybe if I hug you right now, you might feel better." Akira's yes widened at the innocence of those words and he lifted his own arms also to land hesitantly on Hikaru's back.
" I do feel better." Akira replied softly.
Hikaru embraced the boy more tightly.
" Good."
*BIZZ*
The lights flashed on and Akira realized what he was doing. He backed away into the wall quickly as Hikaru laughed.
" That was quick." Hikaru said cheerfully.
But they both knew that was the longest moment in their lives.
(God… this line WOULD be more well-suited for the end of
the story will it?^^ It sounds like the end but it ISN"T because Akira STILL
has to go to Hikaru's apartment and Hikaru doesn't even know Akira's feelings
yet… well maybe… *grins* Anyways… I was about to end here but since I had the
time, I will write more!! MWAHAHA!)
Akira nodded and they both stumbled a bit when the elevator started again. Akira straightened his clothes, his body still in flames from their hug before.
But that was merely a gesture of friendship, actually, not even that. Hikaru would have been kind enough to do that for anyone. (Er… no…^^;)
Akira brushed several strands out of his ears and peered at Hikaru. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets, the grin still on his face. They both watched as the light stopped at the number "18" and the elevator came to a stop.
The doors slid open and they walked out. Hikaru guided Akira towards his unit and they stood at the door.
Akira waited patiently as Hikaru searched his pockets for his keys and they walked in.
Yes… Akira sighed… That was simply a kind gesture, he meant nothing of it.
Akira walked into the apartment.
TBC.
