Pairing: Pre-slash Subaru x Kizamaro.

Summary:

A call after midnight, calling the ninja.


"Thanks for staying awake to talk. I know you rather be sleeping right now."

"I won't lie. I'm barely hanging on. I'll give it my best to stay up. Just yell at me over our Star Carriers if you hear me start snoring."

"Okay. Subaru-kun…Er, this is going to be a difficult question. Have you…Have you ever been in love?"

"LOVE?" That woke Subaru up.

"Mm. I have someone I want to tell how I feel about them, except you know me…I'm not the bravest in the world."

"Is it with Iinchou?"

"WHAT? With Iinchou? No, Subaru-kun, of course it isn't Iinchou!"

Of course. Subaru couldn't imagine Kizamaro with Luna. Thing was, Subaru couldn't imagine Kizamaro with anyone else either. He rarely saw Kizamaro interact directly with girls outside the Class President.

"He's awesome."

"He? Hehhh, I didn't realize, Kizamaro!"

"I guess it's a bit of a shock, isn't it, Subaru-kun?"

"I wasn't expecting it!" Again, Subaru didn't lie.

"Subaru-kun, he's – I mean, you're –!"

You're.

You.

Kizamaro winced. He caught his slip-up, but so did Subaru.

Subaru gripped the mattress.

"What do you think, Subaru-kun? Silly, huh?"

Subaru held back on answering. Since there was video as well as audio, Kizamaro confirmed Subaru wasn't outwardly disgusted with him, at least.

"Kizamaro, don't panic. Can we continue this in your room?"

"T-tomorrow?"

"No, now."

"Now? It's past midnight, Subaru-kun! I'll wake everybody if I –!"

"You forget: I'm a stealth-certified ninja! Subaru of the Shooting Star!"

Not sure what he should expect, Kizamaro nodded. "Should I open the door for –?"

Subaru appeared in bed next to him in a blink of green light, sealing Kizamaro's mouth in time to avert a wake-up call. When Kizamaro assured him he was through screaming, Subaru retracted his hand.

"It isn't ninjutsu when you EM Wave Change, Subaru-kun!" Kizamaro whisper-shouted.

"No, but you're glad I came, aren't you?"

Kizamaro blushed. "Thanks for asking before coming in. That's just like you, Subaru-kun."

They turned onto their backs. Where to go from here?

"Subaru-kun, I –!" Kizamaro turned back to Subaru.

Snoring.

Subaru was snoring.

Tomorrow, after all.

"Asleep. That's just like you, Subaru-kun." He admired Subaru in silence.
