Work Text:
Aira woke up, feeling oddly warm. He didn't know what time it was but it must have been pretty late based on how dark the room was. He was facing the other bunkbed, left empty without any signs of his two seniors. He remembered they told him and Hiiro they had some business to attend to and they would have to be away until the next morning.
"Aira.." a quiet whisper came from behind him.
Suddenly he became aware of the arms wrapped around his body. Then it hit him. He was. Snuggling. With Hiiro.
Aira's eyes widened immediately and were shut close just as fast. He recalled the events that resulted to whatever this was. He had stayed up with Hiiro, showing him some of his favourite idols and lives because he had literally no knowledge about any of the important idols that they were now surrounded by. After all he couldn't just keep embarrassing Aira in front of his favourite idols whenever he was completely oblivious by who they actually were. And since Tatsumi wasn't present, he couldn't stop the two of them from staying up all night. Although based on their current situation, it seems like staying up didn't actually work out. Aira was about to yell at Hiiro to let go of him and go back to his own bed but then Hiiro mumbled again.
"Mm Aira.." He pulled the other closer to him.
Why did that idiot have to keep saying his name? That weirdo was probably dreaming about him or something.
"Aira.. are you awake?"
Or maybe he was just trying to get his attention.. but either way he just kept his eyes shut and didn't dare utter a word.
"Um, I guess you're not."
Yes! Please just leave me alone and keep hugging me like that get out of my bed-
"I really, really like you, Aira."
What.
Did his ear drums get damaged from all the music he was listening to or did he hear that right. Surely he must have meant that in a completely platonic way though, right? Afterall Hiiro did make it known that he treasured Aira as a dear friend.
"No.. I love you."
Oh dear lord please forgive me for all the sins I have committed in my life, I will confess all my wrongings to Tatsumi when he comes back.
"Aira you're awake? Your heart is racing! Are you okay?" the redhead asked with full concern, as if he had no idea that he was the one making Aira's heart race.
He sat up, facing the older one, "Of course I'm not okay!! You just said you loved me Hiro-kun!"
"Your face is so red Aira, did you get sick? You should have told me if you were getting cold so I could hold you closer to me!"
Aira slapped himself mentally, he was also close to slapping Hiiro physically.
"Don't just change the subject!"
Hiiro just gave him his usual confused expression. He sighed, of course that idiot wouldn't understand this either.
"You can't just say you l-love me out of nowhere!"
"Don't you say that when you really care about someone in the city?"
"Well— we do but you don't just say it to friends."
"Then I don't want to be just friends with Aira."
Huh?! What has gotten into him?
"I want to be more than friends with Aira!"
Aira's whole face heated up.
"W-what??"
"Don't you love me too, Aira?" There it was again, that completely puzzled expression. "I-I mean," the younger one was completely overwhelmed, not knowing what to answer "m-maybe I— I guess I kinda do.. like you"
Hiiro's face lit up, leaning forward to hug the other. After a while Aira pushed him back, "Okay, that's enough Hiro-kun.." he mumbled as he avoided the redheads gaze. "Does this mean we're getting married?" Hiiro asked with a big smile on his face. "M-married? Hiro-kun, I'm only 16!! We can't just get married!"
Hiiros smile dropped.
"But I suppose we can date for now.."
"Date?"
"Ugh, let's just go back to sleep. I'll explain it to you tomorrow" Aira yawned.
"So can we cuddle again?"
"If you insist.."
Hiiro's smile came back.
"I love you Aira."
