Miharu hadn't been expecting a calm, nonchalant answer like that. With the way Yoite had just been acting, it was assured that he'd be rejected and Yoite would hurry away from him. But rather than that, he took off his sweater? That stupid sweater that Yoite always wore always? It made his cheeks turn pink, that emotionless confidence.

As Yoite mimicked Miharu's care in folding up the clothes neatly onto the stack, the green-eyed boy took his chance to look at Yoite's body. From his fingers all the way to the edge of his chest, it looked like Yoite was covered in ashes. Miharu's eyes softened, wishing he could erase those scars rather than Yoite entirely.

As Yoite turned back around to face him, Miharu quickly began removing his shirt. If he didn't Yoite would definitely suspect his ulterior motive for bathing together. He had the shirt mostly off when he realized that he hadn't unbuttoned the top buttons at the collar.

-----------------

"Yoite~ Save me."

Yoite's eyes flickered over to where Miharu stood, arms raised above his head with his shirt tangled about him. Wordlessly he approached and went for the buttons. He quickly undid them, despite having to do it with the shirt inside out. He didn't really feel like laughing at Miharu's silliness, since it was often manufactured silliness that he used to get his way. It was useful when they wanted free food.

Yoite, figuring he might as well, tugged the shirt the rest of the way off Miharu's body. In return, he received a cheerful thank you from Miharu. Or at least he assumed because he stopped paying attention to him for a bit while he folded it up and set it on the pile. Folding things was harder than he thought.

When he began to pay mind to Miharu again, the boy was completely naked, holding his shorts in one hand and hopping on one foot to get his sock of. For a brief fleeting second, he was jealous of Miharu being a boy. But then he got over it and reached out to hold the kid up while he took off his socks.

AN: Am I too slow? My updates are always so short. Even I wish I could write longer bursts. I uploaded a gift for everyone who reads this as a thank you. It's a folder containing all of the pictures you could ever find and more of Nabari no Ou pairings as well as artbook pictures, manga snippets, etc mainly focusing on Yoite and Miharu. It's virus free, I promise, but you need WinRar to unzip it.

Also, its at mediafire so just add the usual w's and com in front for it to work. Sorry about that.

In case you're curious, my favorite is the one in simple style with Miharu looking up at Yoite and Yoite is looking away with his face cut off in the picture.
