“It will be ok.”
It wasn’t ok. He fucked up, he fucked up real bad by accepting Yoshikage’s suggestion to go out on a boat. Josefumi could swear that his face turned into green before he even set a foot on the boat, just the sight of the ocean made him sick.
It’s not that he still has a fear of the ocean, he and Kira spent hours swimming by themselves when they found the beach empty. Josefumi didn’t want to get on the boat because they learned that he gets sea sick quite easily. It was a real pain in the ass to clean Kira’s favorite sailor suit after puking on him.
God, he just wanted to go back to their home and hug the couch that he sleeps on. Why did he even agreed to come along with Kira? Oh, he knows the answer to that, because when Kira wants something he does everything to get it.
“Why did you even invite me?”, Josefumi realized he said his thoughts aloud and swallowed hard. His crime partner didn’t like it when he asked too many questions but he couldn’t help but ask.
“Because we can’t get separated and I want to sail.”
Alright, that was a reasonable answer.
Josefumi was actually kind of scared to get caught on his own by the rock people so being together with Kira was a good thing.
Except for the sailing part.
He opened his phone to look at the time, they were sailing for about 30 minutes now and they haven’t really talked much.
The teen closed his eyes, it was a bad idea to look into his phone, he could feel all the things he had eaten moving in his stomach now. Maybe he should open a conversation to get his brain busy, that way he could forget even feeling nauseated.
“Hey, Kira… Do you think I can catch all of my puke with Soft & Wet?”
Dead silence.
That was a bad conversation starter. As he was thinking about another opening, Yoshikage handed him a pill bottle.
“What’s this for?” asked Josefumi as he shaked the bottle a little.
“I believe you can catch your puke but please I don’t want to try that in my boat. That’s for your sea sickness.”
“Oh.” Fumi smiled at him and popped one in his mouth.
It should work soon.
Josefumi opened his eyes to see the sun setting, he didn’t realize that he dozed off while they were sailing.
“That was a first…” he said to himself.
Kira interrupted his thoughts by sitting next to him with lunch boxes. He packed sandwiches for Josefumi and peas for himself.
“You were sleeping because of the side effects. I hope you feel ok now.” said Yoshikage while trying to get as many as he can in his spoon.
Josefumi laughed at his struggle.
“Are you eating the green boys again?”
Josefumi that’s the second time you failed to start a conversation.
“Green boys?” asked Kira as he eyed his spoon.
“Yeah… Green boys… the peas…” Josefumi just wanted to drown in the ocean right there.
“I forgot to buy something else so… I’m eating the green boys again. Want some?”
Josefumi showed him his cherry tomatoes “No worries, I have my red boys.”
“Hmm, I didn’t know you liked boys.”
Josefumi decided to stuff his mouth with his sandwich, he didn’t want to talk about this anymore. He was sure that Kira would make fun of him because not being a person he’s supposed to be. Better leave this for later.
Kira surprised him by saying “Me too.”.
“What do you mean?”
“Liking boys… Actually not boys, only one specific boy but I like him.”
Now Fumi was interested in this, time to dig deeper.
“So… The boy you like… What’s so special about him?”
Kira stayed silent for a while, it was clear that he was thinking very hard.
“He has nice hands…”
Josefumi should have expected this but decided not to comment on it.
“Also he’s very nice towards me. How do I say this…”
He ate a bit of his peas and continued.
“He’s gentle, understanding… and considerate? He doesn’t make fun of my clothes or eating style. Also, he doesn’t get offended when I say things that are considered rude. It’s fun to spend time with him too. I like him having by my side all the time.”
Josefumi forgot to eat his food while listening to him but it’s not a problem to him, learning personal things about Kira always fascinated him. He’s known as not a talkative person too so he was actually having a good time hearing about this boy.
When Yoshikage noticed that Josefumi isn’t saying anything, he rolled his eyes and put his arm behind Fumi’s seat.
“He’s kind of dumb too. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t get offended when I criticize his fashion sense.”
Pompadoured teen laughed at that and pointed at Kira’s outfit “Are you sure, you should be criticizing him while wearing that?”
“At least I get them custom made, not from the second-hand shop.”
They both fell into a comfortable silence after that. It was just them, the ocean and the seagulls that were flying over. Josefumi kept on looking at Kira while the sun was giving its last lights.
It was just them, the ocean and the seagulls that were flying over. Josefumi kept on looking at Kira while the sun was giving its last lights.
The purple and the pink hues were painting his skin beautifully and the small smile on his lips made his face look even more pretty. Still, his eyes were piercing as ever and Josefumi could swear that he was the most handsome person on the earth.
He felt like nothing next to him. He could get lost in his dark blue eyes every day even if that means he would drown in them.
He felt the blood rushing to his face when Kira returned his gaze.
“What kind of boys do you like Kujo?”
Josefumi wanted to tell the things he loved about him but the words just got stuck in his throat.
“Is it too personal?”
Again, Josefumi was left speechless, nothing was coming out. His brain felt like it stopped working.
He watched Kira’s eyelashes fall slowly while blinking.
Shit, even those little details were gorgeous about him, he didn’t know where to start.
As he opened his mouth he realized the man next to him was nervous too, Yoshikage was breaking the eye contact and he even licked his lips as the air felt really dry around them.
“You.”
Just one word made the tension around them five times heavier. Josefumi was predicting the things Kira would say to him.
“I’m not.”
“Stop having these weird ideas.”
“We’re only partners in our fruit business.”
“Funny joke, Kujo.”
“If you won’t stop this, leave my house.”
But he heard the one thing he wasn’t expecting.
“Me too.”
Josefumi couldn’t help but laugh at that moment. Kira frowned immediately, was Fumi just making jokes at him?
The teen noticed his confusion and held the other’s hands to prevent him from doing anything rash.
“Kira, don’t worry my feelings are real. I really really like you.”
Yoshikage started to laugh after hearing that too, they were both hopeless romantics that were very concerned about the other rejecting them.
They stood there for a minute, just holding each others hand and laughing at each other. It was the perfect moment for them, like the waves and birds were singing for them. Josefumi broke the silence while rubbing the back side of Kira’s hand with his thumb.
“Should we kiss?”
Kira answered him by closing his eyes and leaning forward.
From the moment their lips touched, Josefumi felt overwhelmed by his feelings and started crying. He felt embarrassed by his looks, he wasn’t the most attractive guy while crying and tried to stop kissing Kira but the other stopped his face from moving by holding him close.
Yoshikage kept planting small kisses on his face and he kept calling him “Beautiful.” every time his lips connected to his face.
He had to stop kissing Josefumi when the sun has finally set and started the engine of his boat. It was a small distance from where they were to the pier but Fumi could feel his stomach moving again so he closed his eyes until they arrived back.
The ride back home was much smoother and filled with loving gazes staring at each other at every time they could get.
When they finally got home Josefumi yawned and collapsed on his couch/bed. He was falling into sleep when Kira got onto his knees and pet his hair. He opened his eyes and smiled at him.
“Goodnight Kira.”
“If you change out your clothes, you can sleep with me.”
Yoshikage didn’t know that Josefumi could get up and change his clothes this fast.
They turned the lights off and lay on Kira’s bed together. Josefumi watched him until the other fell asleep, he didn’t want to close his eyes. He feared that this all could be a dream to him.
He finally closed his eyes while thinking about how he did get this lucky.
He opened his eyes abruptly and started to shake Kira violently.
"Did you call me dumb?!"
