*insert all the events of episode 7 before this next line*
"Ryuu, you claim to love women, but I've never actually seen you with a women before. Let's be honest. You like Io, right?" Blurted out Atsushi when trying to figure out who used Io's toothbrush.
A huge blush came to Ryuu's face, 'what made him come to that conclusion? Besides, if I wanted to kiss Io, I would of said something!' He didn't wanna look up, he just sat in the hot water.
"Ryuu, was it you..."
Ryuu didn't say anything, he was still thrown off by Atsushi's comment.
"Umm... I didn't use your toothbrush, but..." Ryuu stopped mid sentence, he wasn't able to make any words come out. He just looked up at Io, his face was as pink as his hair. Time felt so slow.
Io noticed the look on Ryuu's face. Since the two of them are so close, they don't need words to tell what the other is thinking. Io's face started to turn red.
"If it's about what I said, maybe you 2 should talk about it alone inside, if you want it to be private." Said Atsushi, seeing that Ryuu wasn't acting like his normal self.
Io and Ryuu both nodded. It was best that the others don't hear. The both walked into the bath, closing the door.
"I swear I didn't use your toothbrush!" Blurted out Ryuu.
Io just looked at the ground, his face completely red. He didn't care about his toothbrush, he had other things on his mind.
"Ryuu, be honest here, do you like like me?" Said Io, looking at his feet to avoid eye contact.
'Fuck, what do I say?! I don't wanna ruin our friendship...' After a little while of thinking, Ryuu finally figured out what to say.
"Well, I like you as a best friend, but it's not like... ummm... W-What I mean is... is..." Ryuu couldn't speak anymore, the words just couldn't form.
"Wow, you suck at denying stuff..." Io replied
"...but if I were to get an indirect kiss from someone, I would want it to be you..." Io mumbled under his breath, hopping that Ryuu didn't hear anything.
Little to Io knowledge, Ryuu did hear what he said. "Well, if you wanted a kiss, you could of just said something..." Io perked up, his face turning ever redder.
"Ryuu I-" Before Io could finish, be found that he was lip locked with Ryuu. It only took him a second to kiss back. He put his hands around Ryuu's neck, letting one of his hands gently tug on Ryuu's hair. One of Ryuu's hands was cupping Io's cheek, the other found itself to get around Io's waist. That moment felt like it lasted for an eternity.
After a minute, they both pulled away. Ryuu wrapped his arm around Io's shoulder.
"Atsushi was right, I do like you~"
