A/N: Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well! So I'm not sure on whether I should start posting on a specific day each week or if I should post once a week on different days, but I'll figure it out later. This one is about Yuu's first kiss! It goes not so well, but Mika appears to make it all better. I hope you enjoy, thanks for reading!

Tonight was the night. Tonight would be the night Yuu got his first kiss. At age 16, Yuu had expected to have already gotten it, but he'd waited for the right opportunity, and tonight he was sure would be it. He'd been invited over to Shinoa Hiragi's home – a huge mansion in a high end neighborhood that happened to be empty for the weekend. Shinoa was one of his high school's hottest seniors – and she happened to be in one of Yuu's elective classes - so being invited over by her had been a huge deal when he told his friends.

Of course, Yuu didn't tell them it would be his first kiss – he hadn't even told Shinoa, actually. She'd merely said she thought Yuu was cute and that she would teach him a few things if he wanted to show up to her place. Yuu had told his group of friends at lunch that day, bragging about it with his usual cocky grin. Kimizuki had narrowed his eyes at Yuu, envy radiating off him. Yoichi had to calm him down, giving Yuu a shocked expression and a congratulations. Mika had simply shrugged, telling him to have fun before excusing himself from the table. He had seemed so disinterested; Yuu hadn't known what his deal was that day.

But here he was, sitting on her bed as Shinoa walked back into her room, having had excused herself to freshen up. She pulled out her ponytail as she entered, shaking her hair out as she moved to sit next to Yuu, the scent of her fruity perfume strong enough to suffocate Yuu. He ignored the stench and focused on her as she sat down, her hand resting on his upper thigh, causing Yuu's heart to race, though it wasn't so much in excitement as it was nerves.

Her other hand supported her on the bed as she sat, staring deeply into Yuu's eyes with a predatorial, hungry edge to them, a sly grin molding on her lips. "You look cuter than ever, are those nerves I see?"

Yuu's eyes widened, chastising himself for showing how nervous he felt. He swallowed, licking his lips as a small blush crept up his face. "Shut u-"

Suddenly Shinoa's lips crashed against Yuu's forcefully, shutting him up. He closed his eyes, letting her lead since he had no clue what he was doing. And lead she did, her lips parting open slightly, deepening the kiss as the hand propping her up lifted to cup Yuu's cheek. Yuu followed her lead, frowning inwardly. He didn't like this, he knew that. He did not like this one bit; it appalled him, honestly, the kiss feeling as though an octopus had stuck to his face, its suction cups moving back and forth along his face.

Is this what kissing felt like? Shouldn't it feel better than this? Yuu had thought he would feel something, but all he felt were his nerves and her suction cup lips. There were no imaginary fireworks going off in the background, no fluttery butterflies in his stomach, nothing but a deep pit of disgust that strongly urged him to pull away and leave and a small pit of fear. He feared that maybe he felt wrong. Maybe it would take time until the kiss felt better, for the disgust to disappear. To make matters worse, Yuu could feel Shinoa's tongue snake between his lips, covering his lips in her saliva as her hand slowly travelled up his thigh, inching closer and closer until it grabbed –

Yuu let out a yelp of surprise at Shinoa's hand and pulled away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, breathing heavily. He saw the surprise in Shinoa's eyes as he pulled away, his head turning away so he didn't have to face her.

"Yuu, what's wrong?"

Everything? Nothing? Yuu had no clue how to answer that question. If he answered honestly, chances would be that Shinoa would feel enraged and kick him out after lecturing him. He could lie, but then he'd have to make up some excuse as to why he pulled away and then he'd have to continue on with that horrible cycle.

Yuu stood up quickly, bolting out the door and yelling, "Sorry, Shinoa, I-I forgot I left the oven on at home!"

Shinoa replied back with something, but Yuu couldn't hear it over his pounding heartbeat as raced down the stairs. He nearly tripped in his desperate escape, but he caught himself on the railing and made it down in one piece. He swiped his bag and threw on his shoes at the door before racing out, slamming the door behind him. He continued running straight for a while, making it out of the neighborhood so that Shinoa wouldn't follow. It wasn't until Yuu found himself in some unknown park down the road that he stopped.

Yuu collapsed to the ground, huffing and puffing as he gulped down lungfuls of air, his throat burning. His legs felt like rubber, never running so quick and so far before. Yuu threw an arm over his eyes, groaning.

"What did I just do?"

Without looking, Yuu dug his cell phone out and swiped the screen. Moving his arm away from his face to search for a certain number, he moved it back as he dialed, being spared the dreaded wait of will they or won't they pick up the phone as they answered on the first ring.

"Yuu, what's up? Didn't you have your date tonight?" Mika answered curiously, a hint of what Yuu suspected to be disgust mixed in.

Yuu sighed heavily, letting out a groan of frustration. "Yeah, well, things didn't go as planned." Yuu hesitated to speak his next sentence, recalling how disinterested and uncaring Mika had seemed about the whole situation. "I hate to ask you, but since I didn't exactly tell my parents-"

"Are you still at the house?" Mika spoke sharp and clear, no hint of disgust, no curiosity, just a simple question.

"No, I'm at the park right across from the neighborhood."

Mika chuckled on the other end. "You ran away, how manly of you, Yuu-chan."

A slight blush of embarrassment appeared on Yuu's cheeks, the raven-haired boy glad his best friend couldn't see him over the phone. "You wouldn't understand, just get over here quick."

Mika chuckled once more before hanging up without a single word, leaving Yuu to is thoughts for the next ten minutes until he heard Mika's car honking. Yuu lit up at the sound of his rescuer, a nervous smile on his lips as he walked up to Mika's red Buick and got inside.

"Thanks, Mika."

Mika nodded, raising an eyebrow as his eyes wandered Yuu's face and neck. "So what exactly happened in there?"

Yuu felt his face grow red, his eyes focusing on the green scenery outside rather than the Mika's eyes burning with curiosity. "N-nothing really…we just ended it early."

Yuu could see Mika cross his arms in his peripherals, the blond not buying his statement for a moment. "You wouldn't shut up about this night and I found you hiding in the park. Tell me what happened."

Mika didn't seem like he would budge, so Yuu decided to tell him everything, despite omitting the truth before. He admitted to Mika about it being his first kiss, how it felt like kissing an octopus, and his graceful escape from the mansion. Yuu expected Mika would laugh, poke a few jokes and reassure Yuu as his best friend usually did in these sorts of situations, but he did none of those things this time. Instead, a scowl crossed Mika's face, his sapphire eyes growing darker.

"How dare she take the first kiss of my Yuu-chan," Mika muttered, shooting a glare in the direction of Shinoa's mansion. "And you didn't even enjoy it!"

Yuu frowned in concern at Mika, not used to seeing the blond so…he wasn't sure how to describe Mika's behavior. Upset? Angry? Jealous? But as far as jealousy went, why would Mika be jealous?

"No, I didn't. Mika, are you okay?"

Mika's face lightened at the question, a small blush creeping up his cheeks as he let out a fruity laugh. "Of course, I'm fine!" Mika's face faltered slightly, his eyes glancing at Yuu in a disheartened expression. "I'm sorry things went so badly."

Yuu shrugged, sighing as he gazed out the window. "Me too, I wish I could have a redo, but it's too late at this point."

"Well, we could replace the bad memory with a good one, if you wanted."

Yuu's eyes redirected to Mika, widening in shock, the blond shyly looking away as he bit his lip, waiting for Yuu's answer. "What? We? As in you and me?"

Yuu's heart seemed to beat faster at the proposal, more so than it had at Shinoa's offer, which surprised Yuu. Mika was his best friend, right? Why would this idea sound thrilling? Why did he want to accept the offer?

Mika nodded, his complexion growing pink as he did. "Yeah…if you want to, that is. I wouldn't want another uncomfortable situation for you…"

Yuu inhaled deeply, impulsively blurting out, "Yes!" He cleared his throat. "I mean, you could never make me feel uncomfortable, Mika. It would be weird though, you're my best friend…" Yuu could see Mika cringe at his words, so he continued, "but it doesn't make me feel weird for whatever reason."

Mika's eyes side-glanced at Yuu, hesitant and vulnerable as he asked, "It doesn't? Are you sure, Yuu-chan?" Yuu nodded, causing Mika to spring to life as he sat up straight, beaming. "Alright, so, shall we try this?"

At Yuu's signal, Mika slowly leaned forward, gently cupping Yuu's chin in his hand, turning his head and closing his eyes as their lips touched. Yuu could feel his eyes closing naturally, his body hot from Mika's touch, a tingling sensation on his lips as they touched Mika's, the experience much more thrilling than it had been earlier, the butterflies finally appearing in Yuu's stomach.

After a few seconds, Mika pulled away, his cheeks red as he shyly gazed into Yuu's eyes. "Well?"

Yuu felt a smile on his face, his lips tingling with the memory of Mika's soft lips on his. The butterflies swarmed Yuu's stomach, his heart beating incredibly fast, a blush on his own cheeks. "Much better." Those two words took a minute to get out, Yuu's voice hoarse from the nerves and excitement. "Could we maybe try it again?"

A cheeky grin played on Mika's lips, his sapphire eyes gazing at Yuu warmly and joyfully, a rare sight with Mika. Mika responded to Yuu's question by planting another deeper kiss.

I hope this never has to end.
