"Minamoto-kun, here!" Mitsuba held out a small bag to Kou, looking away shyly at the floor.
Kou blinked a few times, all of his thoughts stopped.
"Eh?? You're into guys, Mitsuba?" Mitsuba's face turned beet red. "SHH, don't say it so loud! But yes, how could you have not noticed before?" Kou took the bag and peaked inside, a somber looking expression printed on his face.
"Alright, I'll bring this to Teru-nii, then we can talk more later," he waved and turned away.
What the fuck was he talking about? Did he really think Mitsuba liked that scary upperclassmen? The only resemblance he and Kou had were that they both had that signature spiky blond hair and the same last name.
"No, Minamoto-kun it's not for Minamoto-senpai!" he took a deep breath, "it's for you!"
Kou stopped dead in his tracks, slowly turning around with his mouth slightly agape, and an unreadable but definitely red face. "For... me?"
Mitsuba looked at the floor and nodded.
"Oh, hahah," he scratched his neck awkwardly, "who is it from?"
Mitsuba could not believe that he fell for this moron.
"Are you sure that they didn't mean Teru-nii though? Did they say something like: 'can you give this to Minamoto-kun?', because then they probably meant my brother because that's who everyone likes anyways-"
"No you moron! That present is definitely meant for you because I made it! Just- fuck, I like you!"
Mitsuba watched as Kou's face slowly turned redder by the second. He started walking towards Mitsuba and grabbed his shoulders and spinned him around to make him face away from him.
"I don't want you to see my face..." Mitsuba's heart dropped, oh right, Kou doesn't feel the same way.
"Why?" it sounded much more pathetic than intended, but Mitsuba couldn't help it. And he already knew the answer, why bother asking? Maybe Mitsuba just had a little bit of hope, after all, Kou said his type was someone with a cute smile, and Mitsuba has the cutest smile ever imaginable. But maybe Kou didn't think so? Maybe he just saw him as this girly friend of his and he did have a crush on Nene last year.
"'Cause, god, you're making me blush like crazy..." Mitsuba felt arms wrap around him and a face nuzzling in the crook of his neck. The sudden contact made him flush a deep red.
"You could've said something sooner y'know, I just found out today that you liked guys," Mitsuba didn't dare say anything as to ruin this precious moment. His heart was beating so fast and he could just sense his oxytocin levels rising.
"I like you too..." it was barely a whisper, but Mitsuba could hear it clear as day. And it felt like all the clouds cleared up and the sunset sunlight hit his face. He felt so calm around him, yet also so excited and his heart was beating extremely fast.
Mitsuba turned around suddenly and hugged Kou back, not willing to let go, not caring about the people walking by and staring at them. The only person he cared about at that moment was Kou.
