Pairings: Oishi x Eiji
A/N: Italics means thoughts or emphasis on that particular word.

It was past eleven and the sun had set ages ago. Yet the golden pair was still loitering at their place – the top of the green container. Earlier in the day, Eiji had asked Oishi out.

----Earlier on----

"Ne, Oishi? Meet me 10 minutes later at our meeting place ok? Please don't be late nyah!"

"Why…?"

"Pretty please with 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream!"

"Eh…ok"

Hurrying to the meeting place, Oishi had half worried himself to death wondering what was so urgent and important, yet so mysterious.

"Hmm? You asked me out just to watch the sunset?"

"Yup, don't you think it's beautiful? Every sunset is different nyah. I thought since we had little homework to do today, you would have some time to spare to admire today's sunset…" Eiji said in a small voice.

Feeling guilty, Oishi hugged Eiji close, burying his nose into the mop of curls, trying to tell the other how sorry he was for being so harsh. "…Oishi, now that you're sorry, won't you watch the sunset with me?"

And so, they sat there. Watching.

"Isn't it just lovely? The play of colors; orange, yellow and red." Eiji sighed as he closed his eyes trying to capture the sunset in his mind.

"Yes, indeed…" and Oishi was not looking at the sunset.

"Ne Oishi! You don't mean to tell me that you were staring at me all the while?" A slight tinge of pink appeared across the attention-loving redhead.

Oishi just grinned and hugged Eiji closer.

"Won't your parents be worried?"

Eiji simply smiled and poked at his boyfriend's forehead. "You shouldn't frown so much or you'll get all wrinkly nyah. Hehe, wrinkly Oishi!" Eiji giggled a little more as he laid his head on Oishi's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat.

"Say, Oishi, isn't the stars beautiful tonight?"

Oishi, lying on his back, looked up at the velvet blue sky with its bright stars. He smiled and took a deep breath, breathing in the cool night air and causing Eiji's head to shift a little.

"Nyah! Don't do that! My hair is messed up" Eiji exclaimed in mock-annoyance, sitting up with a pout and crossing his arms across his chest.

"Gomen…" Oishi reached out to smooth the red curls. He did so love running his hand through those soft curls. Those curls that shone and bounced when the owner was happy; those curls that seemed to lose their luster and drooped when the owner was down. Those curls that seemed to change according to Eiji's mood, every strand was alive. Oishi loved Eiji's red hair.

"Hoi? Oishi? Are you done yet? Surely my hair isn't that messy nyah!" Eiji exclaimed as he shook his head a little. "See? Just shake a little and my hair's all back in place!" Eiji announced proudly, puffing out his chest a little.

Oishi's eyes widen a little, both at the sight of his beautiful Eiji bathing in the moonlight and the weird declaration. "Mou, you shouldn't phrase it that way… it makes you sound like…like…"

"Like what?"

"…" Oishi could not tell him that it made him sound like an animal. It would hurt his feelings; I would rather die than to hurt him.

"…like what nyah!"

I have to answer soon, or his feelings would still get hurt. Demo, how to answer it? How?

Oishi was mentally hitting himself for being not able to come up with a perfect answer this time. Eiji was working himself up into a temper and it would not be long before he loses it completely.

"Oishi! Tell me!"

Of course! Why didn't I think of it? Oishi reached out to touch Eiji's face; his finger tracing his jaw line till it reached his chin. Tilting the chin up, Oishi leaned forward and kissed his boyfriend full on the mouth.

Softly, like how a feather brushes one's skin, Oishi brushed Eiji's lips.

Sweetly, like how one sip fine wine, Oishi tasted Eiji's lips.

Gently, like how the breeze caresses you, Oishi licked Eiji's lips.

Eiji…Oishi never want to let go.

Eiji, initially surprised, did nothing at first but just enjoyed the way Oishi was kissing him. Yet, somehow, he felt an urge to kiss Oishi back the same way and deeper.

And so…

Hungrily, Eiji explored Oishi's mouth.

And the question was left forgotten.

(A/N: Now we will leave the pair alone or this fic will need to change its ratings)

Eiji: Mou, we were just kissing nyah!

Additional A/N: All right, I know you wanna kill me. But leave a review first. XD
