Inquisition

Eiji's questions did not come unexpectedly; he knew the sensitive youth was fulfilling many people's wishes by being the first to approach him.

" Ne, Oishi."

" Yes, Eiji?"

" Does it ever get boring? Between you and Tezuka, nya?"

" Why do you ask?"

" It just doesn't seem like a normal high school romance. You two are like an old couple married for a hundred years. Where is the fire, nya?"

His doubles partner coughed a few times, as if making the best preparations before a formal speech. Both his cheeks glowed of soft pink like the Christmas holiday lights.

" I believe there are more details than one's eyes can witness."

" Really? Has he held you?"

" …"

" Has he kissed you?"
" E-excuse me?"

" Said that he loves you?"
" U-um…"

" Or even...slept with you?"

" Eiji!" The brunet burst out, face burning as if blood had just seeped through his skin.

" What?" The other whined, playfully pushing his lips out into a pout.

" You must understand. Not all relationships peak at their highest point immediately. It takes time to wait, and along the way, one might even find waiting enjoyable for the outcome it brings in the end," he explained.

His companion only shot him an uncomprehending look on the speech he just recited.

" Hoi?"

Oishi merely placed a hand on his shoulder.

" Don't worry, you'll understand-"

" Nya! I'm so confused! Now what am I suppose to tell Inui!"

He felt a gust of wind rush past him, seeming to mock him with its howl-like laughter.
