"Well you two sure get along..."
This was a Tumblr Request for a sentence + pairing drabble (but clearly this turned into a short oneshot). I like writing them aged up a lot.
There they were again, just laughing together and looking like they were having a fun time without him. Wait, was he seriously following them and sulking? Since when did Eijun go into stalker mode? Okay, maybe he had his reasons. Youichi was Kazuya's best friend and it seemed like he knew way more about him than Eijun himself could ever figure out because Miyuki Kazuya was a difficult bastard.
The way Kazuya's face just lit up and smacked his friend's shoulder in a playful manner. How he would just go out and talk to Youichi at any time or any place. Did he make that same face with him? Did Kazuya confide in him like that too? Doubt seeped into him.
He started questioning a lot of things recently. He was not exactly sure what brought about this sudden uncertainty in their relationship. Maybe he was afraid because Kazuya chose him. He chose him, he actually picked him out of everybody else. It seemed too good to be true at times. If he were to be honest, those two looked great together. They simply understood and acknowledged one another on a different level and Youichi would catch on a lot quicker to Kazuya's subtle ways. They even seemed mature until Youichi started messing around like a child pulling pranks or playing video games. And along with Kazuya, they were true terror, partners in crime, peas in a pod.
Eijun ruffled up his own hair in frustration and decided to walk back to his own room, trying to wash off the bitterness of reality. He started feeling guilty for even thinking of these things. Eijun was just, what was that word, envious. Kazuya had all the time in the world to go out with Youichi in the past and he didn't. That must have counted for something, right?

"Don't think I didn't see you today," Kazuya said in a smug tone, like he had Eijun right where he wanted him, though Eijun couldn't exactly see his expression but his voice gave him the perfect visual. He slightly jumped up, a bit of a late reaction since he was stuck in his thoughts.
"R-Really? Well, I didn't see you." Eijun tried to sound as convincing as possible, but really, who was he fooling? He sucked at lying and Kazuya knew this.
"Oh really? Is that so? Because the last time I caught you at the arcade, then the bar, then the park." Kazuya pulled Eijun towards him as he wrapped his arms around him on the bed they were lying on. He leaned in closer to his ear.
"What's really going on? This isn't some coincidence." Kazuya softly whispered.
Okay, he needed to not do that because Eijun always lost it when Kazuya did that. He felt his face warm up, but not only due to Kazuya's voice or warm breath softly hitting his ear, it was because he was embarrassed at how obvious he could be, how easily Kazuya could read him and yet...
"It's just… You and Youichi." Eijun finally managed to say.
Kazuya blinked a few times before processing that. "What about us?"
There was brief silence and Eijun really didn't want to explain himself but-
"Wait a minute… Are you jealous? Of Youichi?" Kazuya's voice started to sound like it was cracking in composure. The disbelief behind it somewhat pissed Eijun off too.
"KAZUYA! It isn't FUNNY!" Eijun turned his body towards him and full on glared.
"What's the problem? We were just hanging out."
"Well you two sure get along…"
"No way. You're actually jealous. Why?"
"Shut up! I'm not jealous… I just envy that bastard!" Eijun blurted out.
This was harder than he thought. He was used to being called an idiot but it wasn't exactly enjoyable feeling like one. Eijun sighed in frustration but continued on. "I want that kind of relationship with you too but you just keep to yourself most of the time and when I do want to figure you out, you just give me the bare minimum. So how am I supposed to get closer to you? You say you love me but—"
"Eijun."
Eijun immediately stopped talking. He wasn't exactly sure why. He had spoken over Kazuya on multiple occasions which annoyed Kazuya to no end but something about the seriousness behind his tone or maybe it was his expression that pierced through everything one of his thoughts. That usually got his attention and got him to shut up.
"You never asked me anything personal that you wanted to know. I don't talk about my past or anything regarding myself because I don't feel the need to. Youichi doesn't even know as much about me as you think he does."
"Huh?"
Kazuya heavily sighed this time around. "You're an idiot."
"YOU WANNA FIGHT JERK?!"
Kazuya let out a loud laugh and leaned in capturing Eijun's lips. Now this, this was familiar. Eijun was left with muffled protests until he gave in a good few seconds later because he actually loved it when Kazuya kissed him like that. He felt so much more connected to him that way. Something about being able to feel the texture of somebody else's lips against yours, taking air from one another, being able to lose yourself in them and simply feel right at home. It was something so simple yet intimate. It was a tenderly slow kiss which they both were enjoying until Kazuya pulled away first. Eijun pouted in slight disappointment.
"I don't do that with Youichi." Kazuya said matter-of-factly.
Eijun laughed. "Yeah… Sorry. I just—"
"Like I said, if you want to know something just ask. I may or may not answer depending on how you ask." Kazuya smirked.
Just looking at his smirk pissed Eijun off. He ignored that comment though because another question suddenly poked at him.
"Hey Kazuya?"
"Yeah?"
"So what do you guys talk about if you don't talk about yourself much?"
"I talk about you."
Eijun blushed a bit at hearing that. Kazuya proceeded to cupping Eijun's face with a smile and oh, so he does smile for him too, only this time it was much brighter, much more honest, and simply beautiful. Now Eijun felt even dumber for his previous reactions.
"W-What exactly do you say about me?"
"Talk about you being a lovable idiot." Kazuya said smugly and Eijun felt his tolerance drop.
"MIYUKI KAZUYA! YOU BASTARD!"
