The First Time
The first time Eiri said “I love you”, Shuichi nearly lost his mind. First came the moment of realization, the frozen in place feeling where he couldn’t blink or close his mouth. He felt numb for a second or two, numb to everything except the way his heart was suddenly beating way too fast. He could feel every beat in rapid succession, going faster and faster, despite everything else slowing down. The nose bleed was next; he couldn’t really help it. He knew how much Eiri disliked it, so he covered his nostrils with his hand. All that accomplished was blood slipping through his fingers.
Then came the tears. They welled up in his eyes before spilling over like a flood, cascading down his cheeks and off his chin. They blurred his vision and he squeezed his eyes shut, making them slide off his eyelashes in rivulets. His free hand fisted in front of his mouth as he choked back sobs. His body shook, his shoulders convulsed. He knew he was probably making a mess of Eiri’s bed sheets.
The onslaught of emotions made it hard to breathe. He tried inhaling through his nose, but ending up breathing in blood, which made him cough. He felt like such a wreck; this was not the way he planned on reacting at all. Except for the tears. He knew he wouldn’t be able to stop them.
He felt warmth in the form of a hand atop his head. A few tissues were held to his nose. Eiri’s voice, low and more amused than irritated, told him to stop making such a spectacle of himself. He made some other remark about acting like a chick, but Shuichi ignored it in favor of leaning into that hand and that voice. Eiri held him steady for a moment, said that if anything disgusting got on his clothes, Shuichi would pay for it, and then let him settle into his arms. He didn’t like Shuichi to touch him while he was crying or bleeding, but he knew he had to make some exceptions, sometimes.
