"Alright! So, let's get started, shall we?" Yong Soo said as he had an armful of bags of chips and trying to balance three mugs of hot chocolate at the same time. He dropped the chips, and settled the mugs on the coffee table. "Okay! That was kind of hard, but whatever! Let's start!"
"Wow, Yong Soo. You actually prepared hot choco for us? That's rare, aru." Yao said, sipping on his cup.
"But it needs more sweetener, aru."
"Aww, but I've worked hard on it all night~"
"You were playing your DSi, aru."
"…before that~"
Kiku took a few sips of his choco, "I think it tastes fine, Mr. Yong Soo." He smiled.
"Really? Thanks, Kikuuuuu~!" He said, pulling the Japanese into a big, tight bear hug. Kiku's face reddened at this. Yao can't help but to laugh for a moment, then coughed.
"Seems that you liked it, aniki~" He let go of Kiku, then smirked at Yao.
"D-did not, aru." He said simply, slurping on his choco, trying to hide his face. It was Kiku's turn to laugh.
"Okay, now let's start for real! Okay, aniki! Truth or dare?"
"Wha—? Why me first, aru? Oh, fine. Dare."
"Hmmm~ You have guts, aniki~ I dare you to…wear one of Kiku's cosplay costumes!" He beamed in excitement.
"What? Like hell, I'd do that, aru!" He argued.
"Oh, and Kiku, do you have a girl's costume~?" He whispered slightly to Kiku, making sure Yao heard him. And pretty sure enough, he did. Kiku nodded and reached into his bag and (strangely) got a couple of dresses which they both thought he was always carrying them around.
"Ah, yes. Here Yao-san, Hatsune Miku or Megurine Luka?"
"Not you too, Kiku, aru!" He sighed and gave in. He took one of the outfits without looking where he was aiming. He hesitantly looked at it, and sure enough, it was the Miku one. He coughed at the stripped undies. "…you have these too?" He pointed at them. Kiku just did nothing but blush. Yao sighed again and went towards the washroom, muttering some curse words under his breath.
A few minutes after, Yao walked out of the bathroom, obviously regretting this. 'I can't believe I'm doing this, aru.' He facepalmed when Yong Soo said, "Hey, you look good in that, aniki! Now you really look like a girl~! Right, Kiku?"
"Yes, he does. And he looks rather adorable, too." He said, his face calm, but his voice shows that it was more than happy and really excited. (While snapping tons of pictures.) Yao guessed it was both. But he just couldn't help but blush at the compliment.
"Oh, but that's not all~" Yong Soo stated dramatically, waving his finger. "You have to walk outside wearing it~!" He said, grinning like crazy.
"What, aru? You didn't say that before, aru!"
"Please, Yao-san? Just this once." Kiku sounded like he was begging for it. He never saw him smiling that much before. He didn't want to spoil his 'happiness'.
"Argh, fine, aru. I'll do it." He said very regretfully, feeling an aura around him. One that screams, 'MUST-KILL-YONG-SOO'.
He slowly reached for the doorknob, his hands shaking. 'I'm doing it for Kiku.'
'Wait…what?'
Before he even realized it, he was already outside Yong Soo's house, on the sidewalk. Until a certain squeal was heard from a distance.
"*gasp* Is that you, Yao? Oh, you look absolutely adorable~!" It was Elizaveta. She took out her camera and snapped some photos of him. "Gah!" He shouted in fear and embarrassment, and bolted up back into Yong Soo's house. He panted, and leaned his back on the door for support. Kiku came up to him, looking sorry for him.
"…Yao-san? I…apologize for making you do that. You didn't have to if you didn't want to…I was just…excited. I'm sorry."
Yao could see that he was meaning every word that came out of his mouth. He really meant it, and he wanted to say more, but he just couldn't. It sounded more…awkward. Yao could feel the tiniest of smiles made its way up to his face.
"…It's fine. Don't worry about it, aru." He said coolly, looking away. Kiku's head shot up. "Anyway, it is Yong Soo's fault that he made me wear it…and go outside with it, aru." Kiku could feel a bit warm inside. He never felt what 'having a real friend' felt like. But his thoughts were interrupted. "And also…I kinda owed you one, aru. You know, there's already a lot of things you've done for me, and I've given you nothing at all…so…I'm sorry too, aru." Everything was just coming out of his mouth. He didn't even know what he was saying. "…and remember. It's the least I can do for you…alright, aru?" Kiku just stared at him, wide-eyed.
Until Yao heard muffling sounds. "…ah? D-did I say something wrong, aru? I-I'm sorry, aru!" Yup, Kiku was crying. Crying his eyes out. Even only the simplest of words like that could make him break down.
"I…I'm sorry. I-it's just that…-hic- I've never heard anyone…-hic- say those things to -hic- me b-before…" He said, irritated with the breaking parts of the sentence due to the hiccups. He wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. When suddenly, he felt warm arms wrap around him. "It's okay." He said softly. This made him tear up even more. Seeing him so out of character, it made Yao laugh slightly, but in a good and cute way. Kiku was clutching the back of his shirt—which is still Miku's, the front of his shirt wet. Kiku's face was beat red, stained with tears. Seriously? No one's been nice to him before? He didn't understand why. Kiku was a very nice kid. Kinda naïve sometimes, but nice. In fact, he liked him. But…more than a friend.
He froze at his thoughts. '…what? What was that about?' He flushed at the thought. 'Liked'? 'More than a friend'? It made him sound…gay. He sulked and leaned on Kiku's head for support.
Kiku finally stopped after a moment and noticed that Yao had fallen asleep. He looked at his shirt and had seen it completely soaked in tears. He winced. One, because it was Miku's shirt. And two, because Yao was wearing it. He felt completely embarrassed.
Yong Soo had been watching the whole thing from behind the couch. Much to Kiku's surprise, he suddenly butted in. "Hey, Kiku~ So how was your conversation with aniki~?" He asked, pretending as if he just went out of the bathroom.
"…ah! M-mr. Yong Soo…it went…fine, I suppose."
"Hmmm…it seems that aniki fell asleep?"
"Ah, yes. I suppose he did."
"…while hugging you."
Kiku gulped.
