“Kiss me?”
Kazuichi watched nervously as his soul friend’s eyes went wide. He went to tug his beanie over his eyes, already regretting the question that he didn’t even mean to ask in the first place.
They had just been sitting in Kazuichi’s cabin the entire afternoon, Hajime sitting across from him as he tinkered with something that he had found in that electrictronic dump on the third island. Sometimes they sat in a comfortable silence, but other times they’d find themselves having random conversations about whatever came to mind. Kazuichi had looked up from his work during one of those quiet moments. He stared at Hajime for a small while before that question just… came out.
“Yeah, alright.”
“Wh-What!?” He looked back up at Hajime, grasping at his beanie even tighter.
“I mean,” Hajime rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, “if you really want to. I don’t mind.”
He blushed, just staring at his friend with wide eyes. “You… really want to kiss me?”
Hajime gave him a small smile, leaning a bit closer towards him. “Yeah, I kinda really do.”
He couldn’t understand why Hajime would ever want to actually kiss him, but in that moment, all Kazuichi could do was push what he was working on off his lap and pull Hajime closer by his tie and connecting their lips. He winced at first because of the impact but still didn’t pull away for fear of chickening out.
Truth be told, this was Kazuichi’s first kiss. At first, he felt like others overhyped it all, but then Hajime cupped his cheek and angled his head a bit more and- wow this was a lot better.
Hajime pulled away slowly, and Kazuichi opened his eyes, seeing the other stare at him with a comforting smile as he gently rubbed his cheek with his thumb. His face seemed just as flushed as Kazuichi’s felt.
“C-Can we do that again?” He managed to stutter out.
Hajime chuckled and nodded before their lips connected again, this time much more gentle. This one was even better than the first. The hand that was cupping his cheek moved to his neck, bringing him closer as the other hand rested on his hip. He finally let go of the other’s tie, letting his arms rest around the other’s waist comfortably.
A tongue ran across his bottom lip and he eagerly opened them with a small gasp. Hajime pulled him onto his lap as he took the invitation, being careful of his sharp teeth.
Oh. Oh, that was even better.
It was then that he became very aware of what was going on. He was making out with his best friend on the floor of his cabin. And he was thoroughly enjoying it.
In his opinion, it was way too early when Hajime had pulled away, and Kazuichi had to stop himself from chasing the other’s lips. He opened his eyes and stared at Hajime, slightly dazed.
He… wanted another kiss already.
“How was that?”
“Great.” He replied so elegantly, causing Hajime to chuckle.
“Good.”
He couldn’t look away from Hajime’s nervous yet easygoing smile, the flush on his cheeks, those really pretty green eyes. He felt in some kind of daze, like he couldn’t focus on anything other than Hajime.
And then he realized he was literally sitting on the other’s lap.
“O-Oh.” His eyes widened, any heat that had died down before came rushing back fast.
“What?” Hajime tilted his head, both hands resting on his hips, thumbs rubbing circles gently against them.
“I’m… on your lap.”
“You are.” Hajime tightened his grip a bit on his hips, keeping him grounded. “So?”
“I-Is that… alright?”
“Yeah.” He smiled. “I was the one who pulled you here anyways.”
“R-Right.”
There was a long pause as Hajime continued to rub circles into his hips and him nervously fiddling with the end of Hajime’s shirt. Hajime was the one that broke the silence.
“You wanna kiss again?”
“Hell yeah.”
