"Tsukasa-kun, what about this?" Rui asked as he pointed at a sketch in his scrap book. "I feel like this lighting would fit you more, as it compliments your hair and eyes." Tsukasa peeked to his side as he looked to what Rui was pointing at. “I think I like that one the best!" Rui smiled as he circled that one.
The taller boy pressed his pen to his lips in thought. Eventually, a sly smirk grew on his lips. Oh no. Rui.
"Because our show will be of an Angel theme, Tsukasa-kun; you should be able to fly through the air as an angel would! I'll just tie you to a rope, it's easy! The audience will be amazed you'll see!" Rui exclaimed with big eyes and clasped his hands with Tsukasa's. The boys face turned into a flustered, worried expression. That’s dangerous, Rui... he wanted to say.
But he always goes with Rui's plans as to see him happy. This though... flying in the air with a mere rope? He'll die this time surely.
"But Rui, that's too dangerous... what if the rope breaks and I-?!!"
Rui cut him off. "Three sets of rope and you're set! Ill make it transparent too!!!" Tsukasa sighed in defeat. Well, maybe he was just being over dramatic about it..
He'll ask the other unit members.
"Hey, Nene! Emu!! I need your help!" Tsukasa yelled as the two came from the other side from the room. They were the ones designing the attire. "Tsukasa-kunnnn!! You'll love this!" Emu said excitedly as she pounced onto him, knocking him, Rui and herself onto the ground.
"O-Oi, Emu!" Tsukasa yelled trying to get off of Rui who was in a laughing fit. Emu quickly picked up the paper her and Nene worked on, it had a beautiful dress design on it. It was relatively poofy, flowers were embedded into it and on the side was a pair of wings, and a halo. Looks like that would be going with it.
"This is your outfit! You will be matching with me!"
Tsukasa let out a gasp in awe, such a beautiful design... but wait.
".. But Emu, can you two really make a dress that size for me?!" Emu laughed. "Of course we can! I just need to buy more fabrics and it will take a bit more time, but it'll be ok!" Emu has always has these big ideas for their shows that would take so much work, almost impossible. But she always gets it done, she's a very determined young lady.
Rui glanced at the paper, and his face slowly grew hor at the thought of Tsukasa wearing such a wonderful dress.
Tsukasa turned to him to see if he was hurt from the fall, but noticed his expression.
"Rui, are you ok? You feel warm.." Tsukasa said as he cupped his hands on the boys cheeks. Rui let out an embarrassing noise.
Oh, Tsukasa was too cute.
"Y-Yes!!! i'm ok! No need to be so worried," He cleared his throat as to get back his composure. In the corner of his eye he saw Nene giggling, he would get back at her later.
"So, do you like it?" Rui nodded his head furiously. "It's such a wonderful outfit," if anything Tsukasa-kun would be too cute for it... But then, he realized Emu was talking to Tsukasa, and he had said his thoughts out loud. How very embarrassing.
"Ehh?!! Rui-kun, how cute!" Emu squealed. Tsukasa turned away and slapped his hand on his mouth. Now he was red. Rui, you're so...!!!
"Ok, e-enough of the outfit! Emu, Rui thinks that in our new show, I should fly with using a rope! That's not safe at all..!!"
Emu gasped, "Tsukasa-kun!!!! That would be so fun! Rui-kun, can I fly too?!"
Tsukasa mentally head palmed. He felt that telling Emu wouldn't help much.
"Nene, please help-"
Nene shook her head as she was focused on the game in front of her. "That's between you and your boyfriend. You let him get away with too many dangerous ideas already, you're too deep in." Nene said in a jokingly way but it pieced Tsukasa through his chest.
"..What?!" Tsukasa yelled as covered his face and whined. Looks like he would be flying...again. But this time, it seems a mere rope.
If he dies, at least he knows it was for Rui.
———————
Tsukasa stretched. They were almost finished for today... thank goodness. They had gotten a lot done.
This show would be really good.
"Haaa..." the short boy sighed and laid his head table. Emu and Nene had already gone home. But a certain purple haired boy was still sitting next to him, doodling on a paper. He convinced him that he should stay for a bit longer, his excuse was he still needed to finish some ideas.
But really he just wanted to spend more time with him.
He was starting to drift off. But right when he was about to fall asleep, his eyes were met with yellow, catlike ones.
"...Rui?" he blushed.
"You look sleepy," Rui said in a small, calming voice, placing his hand near Tsukasa's head playing with his hair. "We managed to get lots done today because of your hard work, Tsukasa-kun. You can rest."
That's not true... I think you did a lot more than me today.
He wanted to reply, but he was flustered. That sudden praise took him off guard. "Rui... the things you do..-" he trailed off as Rui stared with his usual smirk. Tsukasa covered his face with one of his arms. Only Rui could ever see him this red..
"My sunshine, don't hide. I want to see your cute face," Rui cooed as he pulled lightly on Tsukasa's arm.
Eh, Sunshine?
It took a bit, but Tsukasa hesitantly took his arm from his face. Rui smiled, he continued to play with his hair and feel his face. Rui loves to play with Tsukasa's features. His cheeks are so cute, his hair is always so soft. Isn't he a lucky boy!
"Rui, hey!" Tsukasa laughed as his cheeks were being pinched. But wait.. No, no! He cant be the only one to be teased!
On impulse, he quickly took ahold of Rui’s arms.
…
Now, the room was quiet. The boys stared at each other in awe.
Their faces were so close…
Closer,
and closer.
Then, Tsukasa closed the gap between their faces. The kiss only lasted for 3 seconds before he quickly retreated.
Oh my goodness.
“Rui! I’m sorry!! I-“ Tsukasa apologized frantically as he backed up, covering his mouth. Rui couldn’t do anything but sit there in shock, his face bright red, mouth agape. But soon, he had shook his head and covered his face. Slowly recovering from.. Tsukasa’s kiss.
“Tsukasa-kun…” Rui mumbled as he peeked through his hands, Tsukasa was fiddling with his clothes, looking everywhere else but Rui. How awkward was this.
“..-gain.”
“Eh?” Tsukasa asked and looked to Rui.
“..kiss me again.” Rui said now seemingly gained a bit of his composure back, but mentally he was screaming. Tsukasa blinked rapidly as he processed what he heard. Carefully, he came closer to Rui and placed his hands on his face. Rui waited, his face still red and the expression he had was the most flustered he had seen Rui since they started dating. Tsukasa couldn’t help but giggle a bit, than he did it again. But this time it was much longer.
Rui grew the courage to kiss him back.
It was so calming, like nothing else in the world mattered but them.
When the kiss broke, the boys looked at each other still not believing this just happened.
Rui broke the silence, “Tsukasa-kun, you’re such a good kisser-“ He admitted, and laughed. “You!!” Tsukasa yelped.
Rui brung him into a hug, his hands rubbing his back slowly. Tsukasa returned the hug nuzzling into Rui’s shoulder. “It doesn’t seem like you’re tired anymore,” He chuckled. Tsukasa shook his head in response.
“Why don’t I sing a tune for you, love?” Rui asked and Tsukasa nodded quickly.
He loved to hear Rui’s voice. His singing. He loved when Rui called him nicknames. He loved when Rui played with his hair.
He loved Rui.
Rui realized he would have to go home soon, because by now it’s quite late… but for Tsukasa, he’ll stay a bit longer.
How could he not, with this peacefully sleeping boy in his arms?
