"What do you want?" Kai grumbled at the blonde.
"Misaki suggested I checked here for Aichi."
"Why?" His interest rose at the mention of the blue haired boy.
"Because he's missing." Kai froze. He felt his heart drop. Aichi was missing? The brunette grabbed his phone. Twenty new messages and 7 missed calls. 15 of them were from Emi. He dialed Aichi's number praying for an answer. Voicemail. Shit. Kai headed towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To find him."
There weren't many places Aichi went but Kai knew the one place no one else would bother to look in: the park. He started to ease when he realized that Aichi was probably there. He walked straight to the lake that he had found a depressed Aichi at multiple times before. Sure enough the blue haired boy sat staring down at the lake.
"Kai-kun?" Aichi spun around after seeing Kai's reflection in the lake. "Why are you here?"
"To find you. Everyone's worried."
"I- I didn't mean to worry anyone…" Kai nodded in response, not really knowing how to respond. "I just needed to be alone for a while….Oh! I didn't worry Kai-kun did I?"
"Ah." Idiot why would you tell him that?
"I'm s-sorry Kai-kun." The blue haired boy awkwardly grabbed onto the older arm to get his attention. "I'm right here okay?" Aichi cocked his head to the side and smiled. Usually that smile would cause Kai's heart to beat faster but right now it looked wrong. He knew it was fake. He wanted to tell him to stop, to lie to him but instead he simply stood up and walked Aichi back to his house.
It was about midnight when Kai heard a loud knock coming from his door. He wanted so badly to ignore it but the possibility of his blonde best friend breaking in again made his blood boil. He stomped over and flung the door open.
"Aichi…?" Kai's eyes widened in surprise to see the younger standing in front of him. Aichi awkwardly swayed back and forth a bit with a huge grin on his face.
"Kai-kun!" The blue haired boy awkwardly screeched as he jumped onto Kai. Kai stumbled back a bit but Aichi was light enough for it to barely affect him. Then he smelt it: liquor. He pushed Aichi back a bit frowning while looking into his bright blue eyes.
"Are you drunk?" Aichi only eagerly nodded in response. How was he supposed to deal with a drunken Aichi? "What do you want?" Kai asked bluntly, slightly annoyed by the younger being drunk. Aichi flinched at the harshness in Kai's words.
"I wanted to see Kai-kun!" He pouted like a child, looking up at Kai for permission to enter.
"Fine."
After about a half an hour Kai started enjoying the younger's presence again. He smiled down at him as he eagerly bounced on the couch talking to nonstop to Kai. Until he just stopped talking and bouncing and tilted his head at Kai.
"Kai-kun I love you." What? For a second Kai could've sworn the world stopped. How should he respond? What should he do?
"I lo-" The smell of the liquor, though, snapped Kai back into reality. He felt anger swelling through his body. Was he messing with him? Did Aichi know his feelings and in a drunken state wanted to see what would happen? The one thing Kai had learned from his Uncle being an alcoholic was that drunken people say things they don't mean. He didn't love him he was just pretending.
"Kai-kun?" Aichi asked innocently, like he had no clue what he just did. Kai got up to get Aichi a blanket and pillow from the closet, flung it at him, and stomped into his bedroom. How dare he.
