Summary: Yuri started to have some reactions whenever Yamada is near and he consulted OkaJima about it.
Yamada caught Yuri staring at him the next few days. Often he would feel someone eyes on him, he could just sense it and when he looks up, he found Yuri turning to another direction.
He couldn't be sure though, cause it's not as if he caught Yuri staring at him straight. But Yuri's reactions whenever he looks up or around is weird. It's just suspicious.
He don't understand why though. He tried to guess. At first he thought that was something on his face, his make-up not done properly or there was a smudge or something but when he asked the other members they all shook their head and told him he look fine. So it couldn't be that.
Next Yamada thought of his clothes. But his style of wearing has always been good. Comfortable but fashionable. It couldn't be that right?
He asked Yuto and Yuto just threw him back with a "Joudan desho?"
So he's taking that as a no.
So if it's not something on his face or his wearing style then what could it be?
Yamada just couldn't place his finger on it. It feels weird though, cause it has always been him who's staring at Yuri and looking after him. The change of roles feels different and fresh, but weird.
What Yamada didn't see was Yuri's blush whenever he turn away when Yamada found out he was staring.
Yuri would find himself staring unconsciously, admiring Yamada's features. His brown eyes, smooth skin, lovely hair and his soft pink lips.
Always his soft pink lips. Yuri would get caught there and he couldn't stop staring. He can't help it and he don't understand why. He had never felt this way before.
So whenever Yamada suddenly look up or turn towards his direction, he would quickly look away, acting as if he was doing something else or looking somewhere else.
A hint of blush could be seen on his cheeks but Yamada wouldn't notice, because his face was turned away from his direction.
Always. It always happens.
When Yuri was caught doing it, he couldn't help but hold his breathe until Yamada resume what he was doing.
So dangerous but so tempting. His eyes just can't seem to look at anyway but at him. He's so perfect. Yuri had realise after days of observation.
His skin is flawless. So smooth. Void of any pimples. His eyebrows are perfectly arched, positioned nicely above his eyes. His double eyelid look awesome on him. His eyes. His brown eyes that always twinkle when he smiles. That always sparkles when he sees strawberries.
Yamada's nose. It's just shaped really nicely.
And lastly, his lips. His perfect lips. Yuri had never touched it before but just by looking, it felt soft. Soft enough to touch, soft enough to kiss.
Oops. He's back to the same topic again.
He smacked himself to get the thought out of his mind.
No. Why is he thinking about that again?
Ever since that accident, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
What if.. he just tilted his head and covered the distance between them?
What if.. Yuto hadn't barge in?
Would Yamada had kiss him? Would he?
Probably not. But he looks like he's going to! But he wouldn't.. right?
Yuri was arguing with himself again, debating whether Yamada would or wouldn't do it.
What would it feel like..?
Yuri started to imagine it and then he suddenly snapped himself out of it.
He face palmed himself and felt the warmth radiating from his cheeks.
So embarrassing! What am I thinking?
When Yamada approach him during those few weeks, simply wanting to ask him a question or tell him something, he would find himself unable to look him straight in the eye.
Usually Yuri would back away from him blushing, stuttering about having to go somewhere and then rushing off, leaving a bewildered Yamada standing there alone.
Yamada shrugged it off, not thinking too much about it. He didn't expect Yuri to like him back so he didn't think Yuri's actions were weird. Or rather, symptoms of him liking him back. He had no idea.
When Yuri couldn't take it anymore, he decided he needed to talk to someone about it. Someone who had these experiences, someone who would understand.
The first one that came to his mind was Yabu but he decided not to look for him.
Somehow, it seems weird to talk to Yabu about relationships. Even though he's like a brother to Yuri, it still feels weird.
Yuri finally decided on Yuto. The best choice.
He had experience of one-sided love, so he would know.
It's not love! It's just..
Yuri couldn't continue. He had been fighting with himself for long.
One part of him tells him that he's in love with Yamada. The other just simply rebutted that it was just a normal reaction towards the incidents that happened in between them. He couldn't decide and he was confused. Torn between these two parts. He wanted to believe both of it.
Yuri knocked on Yuto's door and peeked in when he heard a reply.
He found Keito and Yuto sitting on their bed together. Reading a book. It looked like english, which means Keito is probably reading to Yuto again.
"Can I interrupt?"
They both gave him gentle smiles and motioned for him to go nearer.
"Doushita?"
Yuri sat down opposite Yuto on the bed as Keito kept the book away.
They both looked at him and Yuri stared at the bed sheet.
"Ano..."
He don't know how to start. It's difficult to put those incidents, those thoughts into words and how is he suppose to explain what he's feeling?
"Chii? You can tell us anything."
Yuto smiled and Keito nodded beside him. Yuri smiled back, feeling more comfortable.
He started telling them his story. From the time when Yuma broke up with him. How Yamada had been by his side. How Yamada had always been nice to him. How Yamada treated him and comforted him.
His story continued to the recent days where some things happened with Yamada.
How he had overheard Yamada saying he love him. How he had felt the kiss on his forehead.
How his heart accelerate whenever he's around him and how he made him blush.
He mentioned the staring and observing of Yamada too and blushed when he was talking about it. Slightly embarrassed of it.
Yuto and Keito kept silent throughout Yuri's confession, listening to him intently and nodding at places.
When Yuri finally finished, they both looked at each other and smiled.
They're both happy for them. Happy that they've found each other and love each other so much.
Yuri looked at them curiously, wondering why they were smiling when he was so troubled.
"Chii..."
Yuto turned to Keito and he nodded, encouraging him to continue.
"Have you tried talking to Yama-chan?"
Yuri looked up at him and shook his head, his hair swishing around his face.
"I can't. Whenever he comes near me, I felt like running. I can't talk to him properly without feeling my face heat up and my heart thumping fast."
Yuto laughed and Yuri stare at him.
"What's so funny?"
"Chii. You like him. You like Yama-chan."
"I.. it's not! It's just.."
"Just?"
Yuri trailed off and thought about Yuto's words. So he was right. One halve of him was. If Yuto confirmed it, it should be true right? If he too could see it, then maybe he really did fell for Yamada.
"It's true, Chii. You have to accept it."
Yuri turned and looked at Keito. Such gently eyes, no wonder Yuto love him so much.
"So you think I should tell him?"
Yuri looked from Keito to Yuto and back. They both nodded and he nodded too.
"How?"
"I don't know Chii. You have to do it your own way."
"Maybe you could attack him at night and tell him!"
Yuri stared at Yuto as Keito smacked him on his head.
"Itai! Keito.."
Yuto pouted and Keito laughed.
"Don't listen to him Chii, do it your way. That's what makes it special."
Yuto nodded and massaged his head, agreeing with Keito.
"Yeah. You could tell him directly, write him a letter, message him or do it some other ways! There's all sort of possibilities!"
Yuri took in what they said and made a mental note in his mind. If he's going to do it, he'll do it nicely.
He would tell Yamada his feelings, tell him how he felt straightforwardly and let him know.
Yes, he's going to do it. The problem is how.
Yuri thank the both of them and left the room, watching as Yuto nudged Keito, snuggling up to him. The both of them are so cute. He could see their love. It's obvious that they adore each other. Yuri smiled and closed the door behind him.
