7th Want Daiki stared at the sleeping figure on his bed. He had carried him to his home because it had began to drizzle and his place was closer. He had even called Ryutaro's butler and told him what happened so they would be rest assured.
And Daiki was currently trying to process what happened earlier in his head. Did this mean... Ryutaro liked him? He could clearly remember that soft mouth against his and when the smaller boy pulled away, Daiki could taste slight saltiness from the tears before. It was different... from Yuto's... that is. No, what in the world was he thinking? He already had Yuto.
Yuto.... Yuto. Why did he have a feeling he had forgotten something? He wracked his brain for a while before realizing what he had forgotten. Daiki quickly grabbed his cellphone and called Yuto. When no one had picked up, Daiki sent a text instead, feeling guilty for leaving just like that. He could imagine Yuto waiting for him... But it wasn't like he could leave Ryutaro. The boy seemed so unstable and probably didn't even want to be home.
Daiki saw Ryutaro began to stir and his eyes slowly fluttered open. As their eyes met, an unusual feeling crept up in his stomach and Daiki averted his eyes somewhere else. Why did I just do that? This is just plain... awkward.
Ryutaro yawned, sitting up and stretching his arms until he noticed that this wasn't his room. He looked to see Daiki sitting beside the bed. Dai-chan? WHATS?! "What the hell.. am I doing here?!" he exclaimed, clearly awake. How did I even get here?
"Umm... you don't remember?" Daiki raised an eyebrow. Does this mean he forgot that he... even kissed me?!
"Remember? Remember what?" Ryutaro asked. Then he thought hard about what happened earlier. Slowly the memories caved in. That's right... his parents had argued... he called Daiki... Daiki actually came... he cried... and then... An image of him pressing his mouth against Daiki's appeared. Ryutaro stiffened at that. Don't tell me... I actually did... THAT?! Ryutaro panicked and tried his best for his face not to falter. Yes, just pretend you forgot. "What are you talking about?"
"Anything that happened earlier?" Daiki hoped for Ryutaro to remember.
"Umm... yeah..." Ryutaro said cautiously. "My parents... umm... you know... and then you came..."
"Anything else?"
You hugged me out of comfort and I kissed you. "What happened after... it's hazy..." Why was Daiki even pressing him on if he remembered or not? Wait... the kiss! He was probably wondering about it. No, he shouldn't know that he remembered at all.
"Oh..." Did he just sound disappointed? Why? He already had Yuto! And Ryutaro had merely stole a kiss from him. That's all.
Did Dai-chan just sound disappointed? "Why? Did something happen?"
"Umm... nothing," Daiki quickly answered. "I was just worried since you just fell asleep on me and yeah..." How did that even make sense?
"Sure..." Ryutaro awkwardly replied. "Well... I better get going... now..."
"Yeah..." Daiki agreed, not sure how he should act around Ryutaro.
But then Ryutaro flashed back on this morning and all the yelling. "Umm... can I stay here... for a few days?" he questioned all of a sudden.
"Wh-what?!' Why would Ryutaro suddenly ask that?
Ryutaro fiddled with his fingers, the memory of his parents' fight that clearly embedded in his mind. "Please? I don't really want to go home..."
Daiki could see Ryutaro's pleading eyes clouding with sadness. "Fine... but this isn't your house so you can't just do whatever you want."
Ryutaro rolled his eyes. "I have manners, you know."
"Really?" Daiki questioned him, not really believing him.
"You'll see," Ryutaro answered with a glimmering twinkle in his eyes.

Yuto woke up with a nice fragrant scent emanating close to him. He shifted and found himself with an arm around Chinen's shoulders and his face in the little boy's soft hair that tickled him a bit. Smells nice...
Chinen had cuddled against his chest and Yuto could hear his peaceful breathing. As he pulled back a bit, he noticed Chinen's long lashes and bangs tot he side. Chinen looked like an angel... a really cute angel. His eyes wandered down to Chinen's pink lips slightly parted... Yuto blinked. What was he thinking? He never thought of Chinen this way before.
The small boy fluttered his eyes open and broke into a small smile, his heart pounding a little faster. To wake up in Yuto's arms was what Chinen always wanted and he quickly lowered his head, trying to somehow cover up a blush creeping up his cheeks.
Yuto could visibly see the pink tint on his upper cheekbones and started to feel a bit awkward. He could feel himself getting embarrassed, too.
"Feeling better...?" Chinen asked in a soft voice, not wanting to roll out of Yuto's embrace. Only if Yuto wants to move away...
Yuto nodded slowly as Chinen blinked adorably. I shouldn't be thinking this way...
"Hmm..." Chinen answered and then silence took over while they stayed like that.
"Umm..." Yuto couldn't really stand the quietness and uncomfortableness he was experiencing. "You know... how yesterday... you... you know," Yuto said weirdly.
Chinen automatically blushed hard and stuttered, "Y-yeah...? You c-can just forget a-about tha-"
"NO," Yuto cut in with a serious face, making Chinen taken back. "It's just that... for some reason... I can't really reject you. I don't know if it's because you're my best friend and to know that you suddenly... you know... I guess... I'm confused... and need some time? I don't know..." Yuto tousled his own hair out of frustration. "So... I can't really give you an answer... yet."
Chinen felt hope arising in his heart but knew that he shouldn't get too excited. Daiki popped in his mind along with Ryutaro and guilt filled his heart once again. "Maybe, you should call Ari-chan...?"
Fear flashed through Yuto's eyes. He was reluctant to do so, after what he had saw.
"Yuto, you can't avoid it forever... isn't it better to clear up things now? What if it isn't what you think it was?" Chinen told him even though he didn't really want Yuto to call Daiki. There was the possibility of them making up.
The taller boy laid on his back, staring up at the ceiling, taking in what Chinen had said. For the nth time, Chinen was right... Sighing and his heart racing, he took out his cellphone from his pocket and called Daiki.
Hello?
Yuto wanted to hang up but that look on Chinen's face made him not do it. "Dai-chan...?" His voice wavered slightly.
Yuto! Oh my god, I'm sorry. I forgot to call you to cancel. You must be waiting right now huh?
"No... I'm at Chii's house right now... I think I sorta forgot, too?"
Chinen gave him a weird stare that said, "You didn't forget. Why are you lying?"
Yuto plainly ignored it.
Oh... that's good. I mean, it isn't good we didn't remember but yeah... I'm glad to know you're not waiting under the rain. I don't want you to get sick.
Daiki had still cared for him... "Why couldn't you make it?" he asked, careful not to reveal the fact he had saw him earlier with Ryutaro.
Umm... a friend of mine needed me...
"Do I know this friend of yours?" Yuto purposely asked, wondering why Daiki didn't bother to say it was Ryutaro in the first place.
It's Ryutaro and he's going to stay over here for a few days, too...
"Wh-what?!" Yuto was shocked because he hadn't stayed over to Daiki's place before...
"It's not like anything happened between us, Yuto."
Yuto couldn't help but notice the hint of panic in Daiki's tone and how he quickly answered either. "It's okay. I believe..." Yuto felt hesitant. "...you, Dai-chan."
Dai-chan! Your clothes don't fit me.
Yuto made a face when he heard Ryutaro's voice ringing his ears and Chinen tilted his head.
I gotta go, Yuto. Sorry and bye.
"Oh... okay. Bye, Dai-chan." Yuto hung up and sighed. He laid on his back and stared up the ceiling.
Chinen became worried and padded over to Yuto. "What happened? If... you don't mind me asking..."
"Morimoto-kun... is staying over at... Dai-chan's place." And then fresh incoming tears fell down his cheeks.
"Yuto..." Chinen mumbled as he pet Yuto's hair while wiping away the tears with his small sleeves. "Don't be sad, Yuto... it hurts."
Yuto swallowed hard. "What does?"
"My heart..." Chinen boldly cupped Yuto's wet face as tears stung his eyes. "My heart aches when yours does..."
They both stared at each other before Chinen turned away, his cheeks burning. When the little boy was about to pull away, Yuto drew him back down.
Chinen's heartbeat increased dramatically as he laid there in Yuto's comforting arms.
"Thank you, Chii... thank you..." Yuto whispered as his body moved on his own and pressed his mouth against Chinen's forehead.
