Authoress' Notes:
Hmm… so, I've slightly changed my plans for this fic. I'm doing angst galore, don't worry, but I'm making it a story of sorts. It started right around when Akabane-sama was finally able to admit to himself that he's in love with Ginji. I'm planning on taking this up until that adorable first kiss! (Now if only I had a first kiss for reference. -sigh-) So now it's like, "Weakness" was Akabane-sama realizing it, whereas "Life, Death and Pleasure" was Akabane-sama accepting it. Now he's finally confessed it, so it's Ginji's turn! Bear with me, 'cause Ginji's hard to turn angsty! I may have some more Akabane-sama first, so I can put off the chore of turning Ginji angsty.
DISCLAIMER: I DUN OWN ANYTHING!

Three Little Words
Ginji was stunned, to say the least. "W-w-what?"
Akabane's face was emotionless. "I said," he clarified, as though Ginji had honestly not heard properly, "'I love you.'" And with that, he turned and walked out the door.
Ginji was stunned. He sat down at the counter. After a moment the others seemed to come unfrozen.
"What the hell?" Ban muttered.
"Oh shut up Ban-san," Kazuki said. "I think it's cute."
Ginji just sat there, mute, as Ban and Kazuki continued bickering. W-what just happened? D-did he really just tell me that? Ginji felt as though his brain had fried the moment he'd understood those three little words.
…why did he say that? Ginji's brain was slow, almost foggy. His thoughts stumbled along, incoherent and lost. L-love? As in… he loves me? W-why…? I'm so confused. Why would he say that?
"Ginji?" He looked up to find Paul leaning against the counter, looking concerned. "You ok?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Just… surprised, I guess?" Ginji giggled weakly. He smiled, turning to watch Kazuki and Ban fight it out to the bitter end:
"It's disturbing, Threadhead!"
"It's cute, Snake-for-brains!"
Shido, on the sidelines, called out, "Hey, that's MY insult, Kazu!" He then came over to Ginji. "You're ok, right Ginji?"
Ginji grinned. "Of course!" Inside though, he was screaming. Help me! Somebody! What should I do now?
