Akise

As I poked my head through the front door I could see him sitting on the couch crying with his head buried in arms. Ugh I can't believe I made him feel like this. I glanced back down at the present he gave me.

I have to apologize

I walked up to him and sat down. His tiny head shot with a surprised expression on his face.

"Huh? Akise? What are you doing here? Aren't you mad at me? Why did you come back?"

He began to quickly wipe away at the tear stains left on his face.

Ha...he is funny, why bother wiping it away? I already saw you crying.

I held his hands and took it away from his face.

"I...I..."

Oh damn...whats wrong with me? I never thought I would have to be apologizing to a kid like this. I'm normally the one always in the right.

"You what?..." he raised his eye brow at me confused.

"I...I'm...I'm sorry."

AGH there I said it! Whew.

I quickly took my hands off of his feeling relived now that I had apologized but he grabbed them back.

"No Kis...I should be the one apologizing. You were probably doing something important weren't you? I shouldn't have played a prank like that."

Heh...yeah...I was doing something important...well I was about to do...

My mind began to drift off to Yuki and his cute face.

"But I just wanted to celebrate your birthday with you Kis."

He held his head down sadly like a scolded puppy.

Ah that reminds me.

"How did you know today was my birthday?"

"Two weeks ago on the phone I asked you and you told me. But you said to forget and not to worry about it since you never celebrate it."

Oh yes he did ask me that.

"But I couldn't forget it..."

"Hmm? Why not? It's just a stupid day."

He quickly looked at me and his expression was serious

"It's not stupid Kis. It's the day you were born. Do you know how many people have lost their lives, but here you are, able to make it through another year."

His expression began to slowly soften

"Every day you are alive is another day I can spend...being...your boyfriend."

My heart jumped a little bit as he said that.

What the hell was that? Why is he getting all sentimental on me like this? It's...making me feel...odd.

"yah yah yah, let's not get all emotional about a silly day yeesh."

He scrunched up his face and looked away from me.

Ah dammit did I make him mad again? Ugh I can't just apologize again, it wouldn't sound sincere.

Oh wait!

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my gift and dangled it front of him.

"Psssst"

He didn't look at me.

"Heyy pssst"

He still didn't look at me.

Ugh c'mon dude just look up. What do you want from me...yeesh.

Hmm maybe if I...

"Hey pssst...babe?"

He turned his head to look up at me

"Yes?"

Heh of course he would answer to that.

I swayed my present back and forth in front of him.

"This is the gold chain I was looking at in the store last week."

"Yes, do you like it?"

"Of course I do...But it's so expensive though...How did you even know I wanted this?"

"Well...I just know you Kis. I pay attention to you. I could tell from the way your face lit up as you spoke about the chain with the owner of the store. I could tell how sad you were when you found out the price. I knew it would make you happy. That's all I want."

My heart jumped slightly again.

"Thank you" I grinned at him.

His bright purple eyes twinkled at me and his dimples made themselves present as he smiled.

"I'm glad you like it." He sat up straight and quickly wrapped his arms around my neck resting them on my shoulders to hug me.

Aaah...uhm this is awkward. Something about this atmosphere doesn't feel right.

He snuggled his head closer to me.

Uh...Do I hug him back? I don't want to not hug him back then he gets mad at me...but I don't particularly want to hug him either.

I reached out and wrapped my arms around him but only resting them lightly on him.

This should count as a hug...I think.

I don't really know how long we sat on the couch like this. He just wouldn't let go of me. Normally I would be annoyed right now and would probably try to find an excuse to get him off of me. But...I was surprisingly okay.

Just listening to him breathing.

Hearing our hearts beat together.

AUTHORS NOTE: GUYS DO NOT GET MAD. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN AKISEXYUKITERU FANFIC. I was planning on wrapping up this story soon but I felt myself getting fond of Hitoshi and I wanted to develop him more as a character and involve him more in the story. Plus I wanted you guys to get to know him. I have really good ideas for the upcoming chapters and I will have bonus Chapters with mainly Hitoshi and Yuno when this FanFic is finished.

Soooo question of the chapter: How are you feeling about Hitoshi? Good? Bad? Ew? Cute?

Let me know :)
