Gakupo's POV
I lay awake as I stared at the ceiling. My heartbeat wouldn't seem to calm down and I didn't feel sleepy at all. Kaito turned out to be right about not needing a blanket, the room was incredibly hot. I felt as if my skin was glowing and I was sweating all over. Or was it really the room? I felt a little feverish. Maybe Kaito had contaminated me. Kaito. I hadn't been able to think about anything else for the past few hours. All my thoughts were occupied by the blue-haired boy, sleeping just a door away from me. As I had been trying to sleep, tons of pictures of Kaito had been running through my mind. Kaito blushing, Kaito frowning, Kaito yelling at me… Kaito gasping for air as I came to close. Kaito smiling when he threw the pillow at me. Thinking about him again, I felt a sudden desire to open the door and spend a short visit to the other room. Just to take a look at his sleeping face. Watching him breathe for a while.
I turned around so I faced the mattress and covered my head with my pillow. What on earth was wrong with me? How could I have such vulgar thoughts? About Kaito of all people! Kaito wasn't that kind of person at all. And neither was I. I desperately tried to think of something else but it was to no avail. Those big blue eyes in my mind just wouldn't leave me alone. I removed the pillow from my head and sat up slowly. I was panting heavily and my face felt like it was on fire. I took a deep breath and got out of bed. I had to get some fresh air.
I put on my slippers and opened the door. As I entered the balcony and closed the door behind me, I was suddenly nailed to the ground as I noticed that I wasn't alone. A dark-blue silhouette stood there silently in the moonlight. His azure hair fluttered in the midnight breeze as he slowly turned around to face me. Kaito seemed as surprised as me. Widening his eyes, which were just a few shades brighter than the night sky above us, and just like me, he had taken of his shirt, exposing his pale skin to me.
As if he didn't realise what was going on until just now, he covered his mouth with his hands.
"Ga-Gakupo!" He stuttered. "I-I didn't know you were…"
I waited for him to complete his sentence, but he didn't.
"I couldn't sleep." I said, trying to sound calm. "I needed some fresh air."
Kaito nodded and walked to the banisters. I realized there was no reason to be embarrassed, since we were both guys.
"Me neither." said Kaito. His voice was trembling. I walked over to where he was and stood next to him. I lay my wrists on the hand-rail. The metal felt nice and cold.
"The sky is clear tonight." Kaito muttered, staring up at the stars.
"It sure is." I said, but after glancing at the sky, I couldn't help but secretly peek at Kaito's naked upper body. His slender arms were carelessly dangling alongside his chest, his hands hidden in his pockets. He shivered slightly.
"Are you cold?" I asked, ready to go back inside to get him a coat. Kaito shook his head and smiled at me. "The temperature's just fine."
I raised my eyebrows. "But you were shivering just now. And you're already not feeling well."
Kaito giggled shyly. "I'm feeling fine now. I'm not cold. Honestly. I shivered for some other reason." As he turned his head towards the full moon, I could swear I saw a shade of pink on his cheeks.
Looking at his figure from aside, watching him gaze at the distance with that melancholic look again, I was struck by a sudden urge to touch that naked chest of his. His skin, despite being pale, looked soft and warm to me, and his lips were incredibly inviting. My heart started pounding again and I felt like my body was being controlled by something as I reached out my hand.
"What are you doing?" I could feel Kaito shiver again as my hand touched the skin of his side, but he didn't do anything to stop me. To stop that hand from stroking his back, going up to his neck. Not only didn't he resist, he even took a slight turn so he was facing me, and then came a little closer to me. "I- I don't know." Surprised by my own action, I withdrew my hand, my palm was still smouldering from his body heat. "I'm sorry."
Kaito panted and took another step towards me. "Don't be." He whispered. "And please don't stop."
