Summary: Benitora and Akira spending a night on the roof watching fireworks and dodging around the usual issues.
Watching fireworks with Akira on the roof was not what Benitora had in mind, let alone having the boy lean against his shoulder. However, it wasn't out of place either. Not lately. Somehow their relationship had changed from enemies, to sort of friends, to fuck buddies in about a month or so.
Still he had to react to it as if it wasn't natural, just because. Stiffening, but not moving away, he started with a question: "I thought you said fireworks were stupid?" Straightening up a little, so their arms were just barely brushing together, Akira considered him long and hard.
"Someone needs to make sure you don't fall off the roof." He said it with a wicked smile, daring Benitora to claim that incident hadn't happened. Rolling his eyes, Benitora lay down, his arms behind his head, knowing that he wouldn't be able to see any multi colored flashes of light from that angle. "And to witness your horrid laziness-" Akira was cut off as Benitora reached a hand up and yanked him down so that his head was resting against Benitora's shoulder.
It was an embarrassingly, regrettably romantic and graceless gesture, but Benitora didn't care. "Just be quiet and enjoy it."
"I can't see them you fool," Akira hissed through his teeth.
"Didn't stop you from coming up here," Benitora said with a tone of amusement. He'd stopped being fooled by Akira's haughtiness long ago and was beginning to learn how to keep himself from overreacting to it.
It seemed to take a few seconds for Akira to say something and when he did, it was obnoxious, yet with a bit of hesitance, as if he thought he was being childish. "I can hear them, so…"
"I wasn't saying you couldn't be up here."
Once again, the only sound was a distant booming noise as Akira tried to work around the implications of that statement and find something witty to say. "You think I'd actually back off if you said no?" Benitora didn't bother to answer Akira since they both knew what the response would have been. One of the things he liked about Akira was how assertive he could be, often while assuming a guise of harmless passivity. Not that he'd easily admit it out loud, but it was probably obvious to everyone anyways.
"You don't have to make excuses…" Trailing off as he realized that it was probably best to leave the rest unsaid, Benitora gave a content sigh, which obviously annoyed Akira.
"What are you so happy about?"
"I'm happy because this wasn't how I expected to spend my evening." Looking over, he could see an annoyed look on Akira's face as he tried to figure out what that meant, no doubt concluding that Benitora was an idiot. Benitora found himself actually half-agreeing with that assessment, since he still didn't know just what was going on between the two of them. However, that might have been a good thing.
