Boyfriends.
Long inner scream that followed each time Yasuo thought about it. That was it, they made the first step. Congratulation.
After that blushing confession and first kisses near the stairs of the goddamn library, they came back to their table where Yi tried to work. All remained in the key word 'try'. Because after such sweet time and new information, it got incredibly difficult for them to focus and stay calm. Yasuo couldn't even imagine for the latter, since he was supposed to study for his exams. With a living distraction like himself, there was no way to be efficient this day.
Picture this scene, both sitting at one of the tables of the library available for students yet so far from a conventional study mood. Just because he could, Yasuo had taken his chair next to the latter's and stayed there. Easy to pretend they were working but in reality far from it. He couldn't help but nudging Yi's leg, bumping slightly or seeking more contact. It was beyond what he usual did everyday with his habit for contact.
The objective was not to get caught or it would be terrible. Yasuo would hate to have them kicked out of the library because they looked not very focused on working. If he initiated some contact, i was under cover.
For all this time, Yi was doing much better than him, glancing far too often at his now boyfriend. It was so obvious in his gaze that he couldn't focus anyway on what he was studying, thanks to anticipation and soft joy.
At a moment, he made a move and grabbed Yasuo's hand under the table. Mere gesture yet it had him so happy in this instant, he almost gasped aloud. Then for a good minute they gazed at each other, holding hands in the maximum contact they could get. Further, it would be a kiss and since there were people around, none dared to seize this occasion.
Probably Yi decided he wouldn't get much done now and that he had studied enough earlier. He took his books, after a quiet indication for Yasuo.
We're free !
The afternoon wasn't over yet, they still had some time available. It was crazy to plan now, to think about each second he could get in Yi's presence. Yasuo still remembered the latter would have to go back home at some point but it was fine.
Familiar with almost running out of the building, this time was for a whole new reason. In no way Yasuo could stay away from Yi. Like a happy puppy, he stayed close and looked behind as much as he could.
« Where do we go ? Wanna get a drink ? »
How could he dare doing this ? This was too new, it felt like he was crossing a boundary. Except it was fine now, he was allowed and Yi accepted him. Yet Yasuo struggled a lot to keep that locked, going noisy instead to hide the fluster.
« Why not. Wherever you want. »
« Alright ! Don't worry, you won't be late. »
It was important, Yi couldn't stay outside for too long, even if he had some freedom. Different educations, Yasuo guessed. He would stay cautious about time going even though usually the latter was already good by himself.
Let's go !
So these first hours as official boyfriends were spent in the same mood of overjoy, quickly muffled but not so much. All going for the best. Yasuo's heart just threatened to stop several times but except that, it was fine. Like when Yi held his hand quickly after they left highschool, walking quietly.
How could he pretend to be cool after that ? It was impossible, at the smallest interaction he wanted to scream and cuddle. What a strange state. Yet not once Yi seemed to judge him or anything. He stayed by his side, handsome like always and smiled when he found Yasuo staring for too long. Then he would press a peck either to the back of his hand or his cheek, depending on what he wanted.
In the end they didn't even get something to drink or anything. They just walked with barely no attention to their surroundings. Maybe one time they sat on a bench on the river side and stayed there for some time.
This whole thing would have seemed ridiculous for Yasuo yet now that it was time shared, he loved each second of it. All depended of the person, after all. And Yi was the only person he wanted to stay around forever.
The kiss exchanged there got its own taste, of new possibilities and hope. Sweet feeling to be in love, it consumed him to the very last bit. Catching Yi's breath, holding him close, nothing could compete with that rush of emotion.
All this time fearing the end but it was just the beginning.
To say goodbye was awful but he still made it. After all, they would see each other next day. It wasn't the end of the world to be separated for a small time yet Yasuo whined about it. A lot. Then he remembered they could text each other so this wasn't so unbearable as he thought.
Once Yi went on his way back home after a lasting kiss, himself had nothing else to do but the same. Half lost in his dear thoughts, Yasuo couldn't think about anything else. Texting half of the time, he returned home and so started his evening between long sighs and rush of joy.
Shit, like a lovesick teen. Technically yes he was still one so not a reason to feel ashamed. Yone still found him suspiciously acting that evening so he had to tell what happened. He knew. Not literally but his brother knew something was up. Yasuo wanted to scream a bit louder after that piece of information. To hear that he was so obvious, even his brother guessed this right. The last straw would be if their mother noticed something but this wasn't likely.
Sleep time arrived, a last text that turned into many others until he left Yi at peace, he still needed to sleep. So it gave him some time alone with his thoughts, to make a recap of the day.
And all started over again. Too many things to feel. Joy, anticipation, confusion, disbelief. No way for him to sleep soon, it was a lot to register. Yasuo was there, stupid look on his face, far too happy for his situation.
Boyfriends…
