Akashi:
I look down at my watch. Where is Tetsuya? I sigh. Late as usual. Here I am, as early as I can be, waiting on the streets, sweating, with the sun beating down on me and Tetsuya hasn't even made an effort to be on time. We agreed on 9:00am and now it's 9:47am. Honestly!
"A-Akashi-kun!" I hear a breathless voice behind me. I turn my head to find Tetsuya running towards me. Despite my annoyance at his lateness, I smile.
"Tetsuya, hello," I say. Tetsuya looks up at me, smiling.
"Sorry I'm late, Akashi-kun, I got held up," Tetsuya explains. I raise a brow. It's always the same excuse every time.
"Held up by what?" I question. It must be a recurring thing if Tetsuya is continuously held up by it. I wish he would just tell me. I'm his boyfriend… doesn't he trust me?
"Don't worry, Akashi-kun," he says. I turn away and groan inwardly in frustration. Why is he so vague? I wish he'd just tell me the truth about everything.
Apparently, my inward annoyance is visible on my face because Tetsuya then whispers, just about audible, "Akashi-kun, are you annoyed at me?"
I whip my head around to face him. I stare into his beautiful, crystal blue eyes.
"It's nothing, don't worry," I say, forcing a smile. Tetsuya smiles, his eyes meeting mine. I study his face for any signs of expression. I see two red marks, both on the same cheek. I tilt his chin upwards to take a closer look.
"A-Akashi-kun?" Tetsuya asks, surprised.
"Shh," I look down at his face and lift my hand up to touch his cheek. He winces at the contact. "What happened?" I ask, my voice is gentle. Tetsuya shakes his head.
"N-nothing, Akashi-kun," I press a kiss to his forehead.
"You can always tell me, Tetsuya. I'm your boyfriend," I pause. "Please,"
"It's nothing, Akashi-kun! I just pressed my face too hard against my pillow!" Tetsuya yells and then whacks my hand away from his face, hangs his head and starts walking off. My heart clenches painfully.
"Tetsuya, I'm sorry," I say, genuinely. Tetsuya turns around. His eyes look so sad and I instantly feel guilty. I can tell something's wrong and I'm going to find out what it is and save Tetsuya from it.
"It's alright, Akashi-kun," he smiles, evidently forced.
"Do you want to see a movie?" I ask, trying to steer away from the events that just occured.
"Sure," Tetsuya replies, the false smile still on his face. How long will he keep this up? "Which movie do you want to see?"
"Depends. Do you want to watch one at my house or the cinema?"
"Your house," Tetsuya replies after a minute of thought.
"Okay," I grab his hand and we walk down the street, hand in hand, making our way to my house.
When we arrive, Tetsuya and I take off our shoes at the doorway and then walk into the living room and down the stairs to the basement. Tetsuya sits down politely on the couch while I crouch by the TV, rummaging around for Tetsuya's favourite movie - the second Cardcaptor Sakura movie.
"Make yourself at home, Tetsuya," I say. Tetsuya shifts a little bit on the couch. I carry looking.
"Which movie are you looking for, Akashi-kun?" Tetsuya asks.
"Your favourite, Cardcaptor Sakura 2!" I flash a smile. "Found it!" Tetsuya's face lights up with a beautiful, true smile.
"Thank you, Akashi-kun!" he sasy. Did I ever mention that I love it when Tetsuya calls me 'Akashi-kun'?
I push the DVD into the player and rush upstairs. I come back down with some snacks - crisps, chocolate, pocky sticks (wink wink) and popcorn along with some cola.
The movie is just starting when I sit down beside Tetsuya. He turns, smiles at me and then stares intently at the screen.
Let's just say, throughout the duration of the movie, I spend more time watching Tetsuya than the actual movie but that doesn't mean that I oay no attention to what's happening on screen.
When Sakura confesses to Syaoran, I see Tetsuya's lips shift upwards slowly until he's grinning. The movie then ends.
"Did you enjoy it?" I ask Tetsuya.
"Yes!" he replies gleefully. I hand him a pocky stick and he gives me a quizzical look. I smirk.
"Do the pocky thing with me," I say.
Tetsuya inserts one end into his mouth and I do the same. We slowly start nibbling the stick. I try to suppress a smile as we inch closer and closer to each other. Then, finally, our lips meet. My heart races and my eyes flutter closed. Tetsuya's lips taste like chocolate. I put my arms around Tetsuya's waist and his hands find a way around my neck. I push myself closer to Tetsuya. After a few moments we pull apart, smiling at each other.
"I have to go now," Tetsuya says, apologetically. I nod.
"Want me to walk you home?" I ask. Tetsuya shake his head and gets up. He makes his way up the stairs and into the hallway. He puts on his shoes.
"Bye, Akashi-kun," he says. "Thank you. Shall we meet again in two days?"
"Alright, where shall we meet?"
"I'll come here," Tetsuya says. I nod.
"Goodbye," I smile.
"Goodbye,"
The minute he's out the door, I grab my coat, put on my shoes and follow him, making sure to duck and hide every so often when he turns around.
I'm going to find out why Tetsuya is so secretive.
