019 – Embarrassed
"Iloveyou."
He blurts the words out so quickly that they flow into an unintelligible phrase.
Takeru looks up from where he sits, sprawled on the bed. "What?"
Daisuke's face flushes, palms sweaty, an awkward, tight heat swelling at his chest. "Uh, well…y'see." He's stuttering now, and he wishes desperately that the blond had heard him the first time.
Of course, Takeru's always had incredibly sharp hearing, and he grins despite himself as Daisuke hesitates. The crimson face is incredibly cute after all.
It takes another couple of minutes for Daisuke to groan, head in hands and state remorsefully that he hadn't actually said anything of importance.
Slightly put off, Takeru leans forward, presses Daisuke's hands to his lips and gently, bravely whispers, "I love you too."
