"Why?" Shizuka looked up from the book he was reading, staring blankly at his smaller lover. Kimihiro's eyes were locked onto the dark, stormy sky, watchings the clouds move slowly with the building wind. A platter of snacks rested between them, only half of them eaten (by Shizuka) and a jug of sake was down to the last dregs.
"Why what?" he replied, placing the tasseled bookmark comfortably in the spine of the book and closing it. Kimihiro didn't return his stare but kept a contemplative gaze on the bloated sky. Lightening flashed across the sky, followed closely by a crack of thunder that echoed forebodingly around them. One by one raindrops descended until it became a steady downpour, the wind catching some and blowing them into the two still figures.
"Why do you love me?" Finally Kimihiro looked at him, confusion evident in his face and eyes as the wind catching and stirring his hair, not making much of a difference from his usual bed-head style. Shizuka blinked, knowing the answer but not knowing how to express his feelings in words. So, after a moment of thought he decided that, as they say, actions speak louder than words. That in mind he leaned over the deserted food and pressed their lips together in a slow, chaste kiss. Pulling away he stared intently at his friend and lover.
"Because I can."

And not as in "I can, so I do just for the hell of it," but more as in "I can because I choose to and those feelings are sincere." After all, he makes his own decisions. Right?
