Kyon sighed heavily as he exited his local shopping centre quietly. It was snowing out and very cold; but he found a sort of peace watching the frozen flakes fall to the ground.
The white blanket of frozen water falling from the sky and covering the ground. It was truly a beautiful part of nature and never failed to fascinate human kind. How frozen water could bring so many people together and make them feel strange things.
He had bought a Christmas cake for him and his sister to share. He had also bought some ingredients for dinner but accidentally bought a little too much. He lifted up the shopping bag examining it curiously.
"Oh well; at least we'll have leftovers" he muttered to himself. It would save on extra cooking at least for the next few days; no need to do quickie shops. But as much as would usually enjoy Christmas cake; his enthusiasm was rather lacking as of late. His heart was filled too much burden to feel any form of joy or happiness.
His heart was filled with sadness and loneliness; his thoughts travelling back to the first day of winter break. The day when Haruhi had tried to confess and he had run off while Itsuki had disappeared.
As he started to walk along the street his eyes remained pinned to the ground his heart heavy. Even though he was hiding his pain for the sake of his sister; he could not hide the hurt he was feeling.
He couldn't stop thinking about Itsuki and what could be going through his mind. If he even knew that he was hurting as much as he was; if not more. His heart filled with the same pain as Kyon's at not being able to be with the one he cared for. Heartbreak overcoming him as he may have lost Kyon to God.
Kyon was so lost in his own thoughts he failed to see someone walking into his path. There was an "oof" and a crack of the skull and some grumbling as both figures grabbed their heads.
Kyon growled crossly grabbing his head and holding onto the cake tightly. His head was aching in pain and his eyes stung a little with tears. "Damn it…" he muttered quietly. He had a right mind to chew this stranger out just to vent his own internal frustrations. It would make him feel better for a while.
He had spent the first week of his Christmas holidays laid in bed sulking over what happened. After speaking to his sister, he had felt better and even found it comforting. Being able to simply be in her company and forget about everything for a while.
They decorated the house a little and even watched some movies; cheesy but fun. While Kyon would have never considered it before; spending time with his sister helped forget his pain.
"I…I'm sorry. I was distracted; forgive me" the voice said apologetically. That voice sounded familiar; but why? He had heard it somewhere before but he couldn't quite recall why.
Kyon looked up still gripping his head and his eyes widened. There standing in front of him was the boy he had spent a week sulking over. Whom he was still sulking over; whom he very much loved and wished to confess to. Only what if he hated him now?
He had hated how Itsuki had overheard what Haruhi had tried to say; implicating that they were now a couple. When in fact he had no interest in Haruhi whatsoever; never did and never would.
His heart filled with guilt at causing Itsuki this pain; about the fact that he had been listening and overheard what happened. That he could have left or pushed her away but couldn't.
"Itsuki?" Kyon said in surprise a hint of joy evident in his tone. He never would have thought he could miss someone so much. He had missed his teasing, his playfulness, his charm and those eyes. God, Itsuki was gorgeous and he had missed looking at his stupid face so much.
Itsuki blinked and felt a sharp pain in his chest upon seeing Kyon before him. So, he had bumped into the one person he had been trying to avoid; because being around him made his heart ache.
Knowing he belonged to someone else and yet he still wanted him. He still wanted Kyon to be his and didn't care about what would become of it. How strange the human heart was when it came to matters of love.
He forced one of his usual smiles on his face and turned his tone into his usual friendly tone. He would hide the pain he was feeling no matter what so he couldn't show how it was truly eating him alive.
"Are you enjoying your Christmas?" he asked curiously. At least around this time of year he could have time to himself away from the SOS Brigade. The one thing he loved to complain about with a passion above anything else.
Kyon made it evident whenever possible that he hated all of the hi-jinks that Haruhi forced them into. All the problems she caused of her own will that caused him and everyone else no end of trouble.
Kyon hesitated and then gripped his hands into fists. This needed to be cleared and misunderstandings needed to be fixed. He wasn't interested in Haruhi and nothing had happened. She had tried to confess and he had run away leaving her alone. They were not a couple by any means.
"I…Itsuki. About before…. I…. I'm…I mean…" he stammered awkwardly. By a physical standpoint Haruhi was attractive; but her personality was awful. She was proof that a cute face didn't always have a personality to match.
She was loud, annoying, bratty, selfish, manipulative and controlling. She pulled him into trouble and gave him no end of shit and always had something to chew her out on.
He had no interest in dating her and barely tolerated her at best. He still worried about her but in a platonic sense and not romantic. She would always be a friend to him and a weird memory to look back on; but not a future girlfriend.
Itsuki stiffened and his smile tightened "Its fine. I mean you always did say ponytails were your turn on, right?" he said in a sharp tone. Being a guy he was kind of lacking in that cute factor; having short hair and all.
He had seen Kyon's eyebrows become suggestive and his eyes lit up when he saw Mikuru or any other girl with ponytails. Now that Haruhi had picked up the style surely, she was his type too.
He then turned and started to walk away leaving Kyon in the cold by himself. Being around him was too painful; his heart filling with sadness. He just hoped that Kyon would be happy with her.
Kyon stood in the cold snow covered street quietly staring at the back of the boy he loved. He was leaving him again and he couldn't stand it. It was too much to handle all over again.
He had waited for so long to see him again and now he was leaving him. He was going away and Kyon didn't want that; he wanted him to stay. He did care about Haruhi in his own way; he worried about her wellbeing and what hijinks she got into. But only as a friend or a sister and nothing more than that.
He could never look at her romantically or sexually; he just couldn't feel that way for her. But he could and did feel that way about Itsuki and he was not going to lose him again.
Kyon found himself running; faster than he ever though he could in his life. His mind going blank and barely aware of anything not even the snow that was falling around him.
He slammed into Itsuki's back hard and gripped onto his arms tightly like a vice. His nose buried into his back and his eyes stinging with tears as he held onto the boy for dear life.
Itsuki who had not expected this of Kyon felt his eyes widen in awe at the sudden contact. He could feel Kyon's racing heart and heavy breath behind him making his own heart race.
"Nothing happened between me and Haruhi. Right after you left I ran away and left her standing there. I never accepted her confession; you have to believe me" he said abruptly his tone desperate.
Itsuki stiffened and felt relieved yet apprehensive. How was he to know that Kyon may not be lying and this was all a dream made up of his own desires. That this wasn't real at all and just made up.
"Do you mean it Kyon? I can tell when you're lying you know" he replied in a hostile manner. He could read Kyon better than he knew and could tell when he was hiding something.
Kyon stiffened and a pained feeling hit his chest; Itsuki didn't believe him? Even though it was the truth "What reason would I have to lie?!" Kyon spat bitterly. He kept his secrets yes but he never lied about his feelings.
Itsuki sighed and took a deep breath his frustration obvious "I'll ask you again Kyon. Are you telling the truth?" he asked sharply. He would not forgive him if he was lying and manipulating his feelings.
Kyon then gripped Itsuki's arms tighter as if he may shatter if he let go "Yes. I mean every single word of it. I swear" he insisted. He didn't want Haruhi; he didn't care if she was god. He didn't have any interest in pursuing her whatsoever.
His heart wanted Itsuki and nothing would change that. He cared little for what Haruhi would do and only wanted Itsuki by his side. He never wanted to be apart from him again it was just too painful to bare.
Itsuki relaxed and a small smile spread across his face. He had waited for this moment for so long and now it had finally happened. Even if it wasn't in the way he imagined.
"Well then; I don't have to hold back any longer" He said in a playful tone. Even if it upset god; he wasn't letting go of Kyon ever again. He was marking him as his own and only he could touch him, hold him or love him.
To the latter surprise, he turned around quickly to face the darker haired male and grabbed his shoulders tightly preventing him from moving. His grip strong but not painful; simply making sure Kyon couldn't run away.
He then slammed his lips into Kyon's locking him in a passionate kiss. This was even better than he imagined it would be. Kyon's lips were so soft and warm; a wonderful feeling.
His hazel eyes closed slowly allowing him to enjoy the sensations even better; smoldering with the desire he felt. He didn't want this moment to ever end; he wished it would go on forever.
Kyon's eyes widened as Itsuki locked lips with him in a passionate embrace. He was somewhat startled by the suddenness of it but was anything but unhappy. He felt like fireworks were going off around him.
The feeling of Itsuki's soft lips and peppermint breath. This felt better than any of his generic fantasies he had ever had about the Esper. Using his free hand, he reached up to grip Itsuki's coat tightly for support. The other one gripping the cake box like a lifeline.
After all the misery, the sulking, the grief, the loneliness and the pain; he felt his heart soar and all his worries ease away. Nothing could stop how amazing this felt. Nothing could take this moment away from him; he wouldn't let anyone or anything steal his happiness.
The two stood in the snow for a while locked lips and kissing each other. Time slipping away and neither noticing the cold of the falling snow around them. A few people stared and whispered but none attempted to disturb their passion.
Eventually the two pulled away breathlessly; their breath evident in the cold night air. Their faces flushed and their eyes locked on each other intensely. Itsuki's hazel eyes locked on Kyon's deep brown ones. A silent unspoken conversation of love and longing being shared between the two males.
Itsuki hesitated momentarily then eventually said "Go out with me" sternly. Now that he had Kyon in his arms he was not going to give him up to anyone. He would fight anyone if it meant keeping Kyon in his arms like this.
He knew he was risking a lot by going against god and stealing Kyon from her. But he wasn't going to hand Kyon over even if she tore hell apart to take him back. God would just have to learn you don't get everything you want.
Kyon felt his cheeks heat up upon hearing Itsuki confess. He never thought he would hear the day when his crush would return his love. Usually that sort of thing only happened in cheesy Shoujo Manga novels not real life; yet here they were.
He then bowed his head shyly and buried his nose in his scarf; still holding onto the espers coat tightly. "Yes" he said quietly. God, he looked like a schoolgirl. But he was truly happy to be with the boy he loved and know his feelings were mutual.
Itsuki smiled to himself and then approached Kyon slowly. He then wrapped his arms around Kyon and pulled him into a tight hug. Nothing could ruin this moment whatsoever; he was perfectly happy and in such a good mood nothing could bring him down.
He loved Kyon and Kyon felt the same way; their love was mutual and he wanted nobody else. Not even god could tear them apart; he would never let that happen again.
