This chapter is actually a lot shorter than I intended it to be…only 800something words. Ha…sorry. Lol. But, TRUST ME, I'll make up for it in the next chapter.

Yuki made his way back to the room to talk to Kyo.

That idiot Ayame…I can't believe what he said, what he's done. He's ruined this for me. For Kyo….for us.

Yuki stopped walking and stared ahead, not really focusing on anything. His stomach churned. Had Ayame really ruined it? Did Yuki stand a chance if he confronted Kyo? Kyo himself said it was a…

"Mistake…" Yuki said softly.

Footsteps echoed in the hall and Yuki looked to see who it was. As his eyes landed on the person, his heart came to halt and for a brief moment, he couldn't breath. Kyo was approaching, fully cloathed and hands shoved into his pockets. Where he was headed, only he knew, but he stopped when Yuki came into his line of vision. The moment could best be described as a scene from a movie where the whole world stops and the only thing that exists is the two staring face to face. Both are breathless, unable to speak. Neither can figure what the other might be thinking.

"Uhh…." Kyo muttered, "I--"

"Can we talk?" Yuki said suddenly, his stomach lurching more with each word, "We…I really want to…We…"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Kyo cleared his throat.

Yuki's nerves were alleviated somewhat. There was hope.

"But, you should probably get dressed first." Kyo smirked a little, glancing up and down Yuki's body.

A blush crept over Yuki's face as he remembered he was clad only in a towel. He nodded and quickly walked past Kyo to the room. Kyo shook his head and followed. When they got to the room, Kyo shut the door behind him and sat down where he was standing. Yuki looked through his bag and pulled out a pair of pants and a long-sleeved shirt black shirt, then went into the bathroom to change.

"What did you want to talk about?" Kyo called.

"Uhh…just…about what Ayame was saying down at the bath and…yeah."

Yuki opened the bathroom door and stepped out, pulling a shirt over his head. He straightened his hair a little and looked at Kyo, still sitting on the floor. He just stared at him, a somewhat emotionless expression on his face.

"Well?" Kyo said, only adding more to the stress Yuki was feeling.

The rat breathed out a sigh and walked over, standing over the cat. Kyo looked up at him.

"Stand up." Yuki demanded.

Kyo opened his mouth a few times to oppose the command, but when nothing came, he just sighed and got to his feet., towering over Yuki by a few inches. Yuki took a deep breath.

"Did you mean it?" He said simply, "What you said in the bath?"

"What did I say?" Kyo arched an eyebrow.

"That it was a mistake." Yuki's voice fell, "That we…what we were doing…how we felt…"

Kyo breathed out another sigh, "Uhh…"

"Just answer. Yes or no. It's not that hard."

"Actually, it is!" Kyo snapped, "It really really is!"

Kyo pushed the rat away from him and put his hands on his face, "I don't know Yuki, I just don't. This is all really…REALLY new to me. I don't know if I mean what I said and…a-and I don't know how to…figure out if I'm sure or not…I don't think that made any sense."

Yuki just looked at him for a long quiet moment. His face softened and a small smile crept over his face. It wasn't long after that Yuki began to laugh, doubling over and putting his hands on his stomach. A look of annoyance came over Kyo's face.

"W-what…What's so funny?" Kyo's fists clenched.

Yuki inhaled a few deep breaths and looked up, calming himself to he could speak.

"I—I…I had no idea, Kyo." He took another deep breath, "That you were having a hard time with this too. I just found it so funny that I thought I was the only one stressing about this whole situation. I'm not laughing at you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to annoy you."

Yuki stepped closer to Kyo, the smile disappearing into a soft, loving look. An expression that Kyo had never seen. At least not directed at himself.

"There's one way to know if we're sure." Yuki said softly.

Kyo bit his lip, catching on to what he was suggesting.

"I—uhh--but what if someone walks in?" Kyo took a step back, slamming into the door.

"You've got your back against the door now. They wouldn't be able to get in." Yuki put his hands on Kyo's shoulders and gripped tightly (but affectionately of course).

Kyo blushed as Yuki came closer to his face. Their lips brushed and Yuki paused and closed his eyes. Kyo's lips quivered longingly. There wasn't much more to think about at that moment. When you're face to face with someone waiting for a kiss, what else is there to do?

Like I said, shorter than I intended. Sorry. Hope you still enjoyed it though.
