Oh boy. Wow.

The day was over but Yasuo was still stuck on its beginning. Really, what a rollercoaster. Now he felt a bit stupid for overthinking like he did. It only brought them to a difficult conversation that soon enough softened after Yi reassured him. I'm so dumb.

Now he was in bed, some time after his boyfriend wished him a good night until next morning. Overthinking, like he was so good at. Usually he never got to such point but really that time he outdid himself. With more time, it did look ridiculous to worry about this but he was young and he always had the worst thoughts. Maybe it had to be said so they could both find what they wanted in their relationship.

Yi had been so sweet during the day, despite the certain silence he had to endure at the start. For this Yasuo was quite grateful, the latter understood quickly and soothed him the best he could. He had said that he found this quite sad to jump on such conclusion but it meant Yasuo cared about him deeply, that he wanted this relationship. Only an excuse to kiss like idiots during lunch break.

After a bad beginning, the day went a lot better. Yi made sure of that. Later after lunch, when they found a quite place under the stairs to hug in peace, he had explained he didn't know what to do yet about next year. It would first take him to actually graduate. Yasuo had strongly assured he would graduate, he was too smart to fail. More kisses.

Once they got serious again, Yi explained that he would probably rent a place to live, with the help of his parents. A bit of a light idea but he suggested that Yasuo would pay a few visits, if he could. Of course he wanted to.

Just an idea, they couldn't imagine too far because there were still a lot of things to do till then. Yi didn't even know if he was accepted in the classes he wanted next year.

The bell had stopped them from thinking further, putting an end to this gentle time.

In the end, that day was quite good, no matter how bad he felt in the morning. It was done, they loved each other in the same way and Yi wanted to stay with him no matter what studies he would do later. So to say, Yasuo could sleep peacefully this night. Yet he couldn't.

Instead of overthinking, he was stuck in a mix of dumb embarrassment for his actions and helpless love for his boyfriend. So perfect, he had done so much to help him. Here was Yasuo, fairly tempted to scream in his pillow because he made a fool of himself and Yi just calmed his worries. They were so in love, he couldn't believe it was mutual.

What a darling…

There was no down side, he had found the best boyfriend ever. And it left him awake at a time when he should better sleep but couldn't because he was far too in love. A far better mood than last night, that was sure.

I want to invite him again. It would be nice, the first time went well – that incident wasn't even serious – and he yearned to have Yi in a private setting. Highschool was fine to meet people and possibly fall in love with one's desperate crush after a year but it completely sucked in term of peace. They were lucky they already knew for the stairs, no one really stayed there. But otherwise, it wasn't cool. He couldn't get as soft as he wished on the latter, showing all of the love Yi deserved.

Plus Yone wasn't really far. He knew to mind his own business but it didn't mean that he became blind. There were things he saw and heard. Nothing incorrect, of course. But any information was worth fearing in the hands of siblings.

Good example, Yone had said nothing this morning when he 'politely' asked him to mind his own business when he noticed Yasuo's bad mood. But he did had this look on his face when the trio went for lunch and he and Yi stayed close. Curious, probably. Not his business…. Yone was honest and correct, he didn't push further. Just a knowing smile and small nudge when they washed the dishes in the evening, after Yasuo received another among many message notification. At least he didn't ask.

Since he was meant not to find sleep so soon, Yasuo started thinking about different plan to see Yi sooner than next saturday. If they could even meet that day. To repeat their first afternoon would be a delight but he wasn't sure the latter could manage to come again without getting into troubles with his parents. No matter how much he longed to spend another sweet afternoon with him, Yasuo prefered to known him safe of suspicion at home. They would still try to go for saturday, anyway.

When, then ?

Sooner, it would take both of them to have free time at the same moment. And this time fell on thursday afternoon, the exact same occasion when Yasuo confessed.

Maybe with some luck, Yi could convince his parents that he would study at Yone's place, like last time. It wouldn't be much different than the library. That or he just pretended to be at the library like always. There was one thing Yasuo knew about the latter, that he didn't like to lie. Yi would always try to be as truthful as possible or at worst, to avoid telling the complete truth. That was a fact and Yasuo wouldn't push him to lie just for them to have some time together. Mmpf, what can we do ?

His own mother wouldn't say anything about having a guest at home. As long as they did nothing bad or dangerous. Yi's parents were something else. Yasuo had seen them only a few times, usually the day when teachers and parents met at highschool. Nice people but Yasuo still felt a sort of gap between him – his family – and them. Not the exact same world. Funny how highschool could bring together different ways of life simply by its location.

So indeed, he didn't know much Yi's parents. He only heard what their son said about them, what was known and what was hidden. For now he considered them as rich people – compared to his family – with the opinions coming with money. Alright, maybe he wasn't getting over the fact that Yi couldn't tell them he was in a relationship with him. Coming from a loving family like his, Yasuo had difficulties to understand how parents could be like this.

Thinking about useless things, again. Focus. To recap, they could maybe meet thursday afternoon but for that he would have to see with Yi if it was possible and how they would do it. A lot of 'if' but he hoped it would go well, spending time alone with his boyfriend was the best thing.

Sadly, thinking too much didn't help in his quest for sleep. Again it took him far too long to fall asleep, mainly because he left his thoughts wander about less innocent activities for when they would be alone.

Can still dream.

Next day started like every day should since they got together. Barely able to function but Yasuo managed to get up, eat, dress then go for his day. The only sad note was that he started later than Yi so he hadn't seen him in the first hours.

Anyway, it was just another reason to run in the corridors when there were no adults around to catch Yi before next class. A few pecks were given like this, the occasion of a few shamelessly loving words before they were forcefully kept apart by their different classes.

Overall this was a good day because he learned a few things. First, Yi was sure he could come at his place thursday and that even without lying. He knew his own parents, after all. He explained he would just say that he wanted to spend his afternoon with a friend. Unclear enough, it could work. So this was already very good to know. And then, Yone jumped into the topic to say that he was also spending the thursday afternoon with some of his friends downtown. This meant no one home, since their mother worked until the end of afternoon.

At that moment Yasuo's plans for the afternoon definitely took a different turn. There would be no one home but them. The perfect occasion.

It was funny to explain that to Yi without actually voicing the reason for this afternoon. Anyway, his boyfriend was really smart, he understood without problem. For the next minutes they both tried not to blush too dark, already imagining silently. This reaction was the only push Yasuo needed, because really he blamed himself for being eager while it could potential be only one-sided. Hopefully, it wasn't and they were two idiots trying not to think too hard about next thursday.

Two days to wait. An eternity. But they would still hold on till that moment, there was no one choice.

It was worse than hell to wait. It felt like every second they chatted, they both thought about this. Difficult to ignore. It got Yasuo a bit worked up at night and not really in the bad sense. Just very impatient to see Yi.

This wasn't very innocent but he couldn't help it. It was clear, they were going to spend the afternoon at his place in this exact purpose. He was torn about lying in bed talking about everything and anything with Yi and taking their realtionship to another step.

So to say, his nights weren't really peaceful, busy with many thoughts and ideas.

When he woke up thursday morning, he felt like a kid on his birthday. None of it but to see Yi and have him in the most quiet setting, his heart threatened to give up. He wasn't ready yet, just imagining that.

What would they do ? No exact plan but it wasn't going to be innocent. It hadn't left his mind since the incident latest saturday, between embarassment and need. Right then they would be free to go further, no one to stop them, no one to hear. The only thing he was sure about was that they wouldn't go all the way. Far too early and he didn't even know if they were prepared for that.

It was time. After a few days of cheer anticipation and shameful thoughts.

At last…

After waiting for his last hour of class, he found Yi. It was a bit useless to get strong emotions each time he joined him because most of it, they had just been away for an hour or two. Yet they reacted like it was a month far from each other, closing distance on reflex till they could hug.

« Mmmh hello baby… Let's go ! » Just the time to relish their embrace to its full value then he grabbed Yi's hand, ready to lead him to this awaited afternoon.

« Wait, just a second. »

Restless, Yasuo stopped completely in his tracks and turned to face the latter, paying attention to whatever he wanted to say. It wasn't what he expected though. Yi stepped closer, enough to press a soft kiss to his lips then pulled back, a gentle smile taking over.

« There. Thank you. »

Very chaste and it still made Yasuo go blank for a few seconds, registering the whole move. Oh fuck. Frozen on the spot, heart pounding. Really, it was a mere kiss, given with tenderness and it made him blush as much then imagining what they would do later.

Too long reaction time, it would seem. At first Yi looked a bit in thoughts, curious then he smiled again, walking ahead to lead him out of the building.

« Shall we ? »

« Y-Yes ! » In a new rush, Yasuo followed him, trying to get over that short fluster as he could. Really, how could he have been prepared to that ? Yi was far too cute sometimes and he was convinced he thought the same of him.

If at first Yasuo didn't know what to say during the short walk till his home, soon it proved not to be a problem. They could stay silent and still feel like nothing was missing. Hands intertwined, soft gazes from time to time and light squeezing. There were details worth everything, even in chaste interactions like these.

When they arrived down the building where he lived with his family, he remembered all that was planned. The real intent. It got him blushing again, because in no way he could seem as if it was completely normal. Probably he looked nervous because when they got in the elevator, Yi took him closer and hugged him, hand over his nape to soothe him.

Yasuo wanted to say something but as soon as he parted to look at the latter, he saw his gaze, something really affectionate yet hinted with anticipation. Eagerness. They both knew what they wanted right now and all they wished was to take this behind a locked door. Damn…

To say they reached the door of his flat quickly would be an understatement. Still a bit silent, as if afraid to voice their craving. But they were so hyperaware of each other's similar train of thought.

Two turns in the lower lock, two in the upper lock, the door was open and both went inside.

After locking it back and leaving purposely the key in the lock, Yasuo called to check : « I'm home. Anyone ? »

No one was there, it was the whole reason of their afternoon. But he prefered to check, it wouldn't hurt. After ten good seconds listening closely to any sound from a living person in there, he relaxed as quick and went to kiss Yi. Something hungry, needy and little by little the latter ended up back to the door, welcoming a very affectionate Yasuo in his arms.

At last alone.
