The bell rings.
Akito sighs, it could seem like the day is over but he knows it isn't.
And somehow, he is glad about it.
As he walks towards the exit, he feels a certain someone slowly approach him from behind.
Then, he feels a hand on his shoulder, making him stop and allowing the figure to stand in front of him.
ㅡ Akito! Are you ok? You seem pretty tired today.
Rui.
Oh, Rui.
Akito will never know what he did in his past life to deserve him.
ㅡ Yeah I just... It's my resting face, I guess.
ㅡ No, it is not. Your resting face is much more cute.
He feels Rui's hand grab his chin, making him look deep into his eyes.
Overwhelmed by this action, a blushed Akito slaps his hand away and starts looking everywhere searching for any witnesses.
ㅡ Ow, if I didn't know any better I would've been very hurt by that.
ㅡ I've told you to not do this where people can see us, you never know if one of them will be against us.
ㅡ Why does it matter though? Even if the world is against us, I would never stop loving you, do you?
Rui slipped his hands around Akito's waist, bringing their bodies closer and consequently, their faces.
Before he can do anything, Akito places a hand on the other's mouth.
ㅡ If you want it so bad, guide me to your house. I won't do anything here outside.
Rui answers with a muffled "Ok, dear" before he can take his partner's hand away from his mouth.
As they headed to his home, Rui couldn't ignore the thoughts of Akito actually not liking his way of demonstrating love.
Rui's "love language" had always been teasing his partner. And even during the two months they've been together now, Akito didn't seem to be bothered by it when they were alone.
But when in public...
He knew Akito had family issues, specially with his dad, but he was now wondering if it had something to do with him.
The few times he had gone to his house to finish group projects or some other thing, the tension between the other two members of his family and Akito himself was undeniable.
Rui noticed his thoughts started to go another way and stopped them, realizing they were already at his house.
After opening the door, he let Akito enter and closed the door behind him.
ㅡ Feel at ho-
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt lips pressing against him and pining him to the door.
The taller man instantly picked up and wrapped his arms around the smaller's waist, pulling him deeper into the kiss.
Akito's hands went to the other's neck, trying to pull him deeper and deeper, as if wanting their bodies to merge into one.
As much as Rui was enjoying it, he really felt the desperation on the kisses Akito was giving him.
As the best boyfriend ever, he couldn't let that slide.
He gently pulled away from the kiss, chuckling a little as Akito searched for his lips.
ㅡ You know I love it when you start these things, but I'm feeling something's wrong. Want to tell me?
Akito couldn't help the tears threatening to come out of his eyes.
ㅡ
ㅡ You good now?
ㅡ Yeah... I think...
They were on Rui's bed, Akito sitting on his lap while he caressed his head. The wet patch on Rui's shoulder still visible from the recent tears.
Akito had just vented about everything that happened in his house the last three days and how he did not want to return.
He knew his sister cared about him in some way or another, but his father was always there to ruin the moment and with time, he turned them into enemies.
Just thinking about it made the tears want to come out again.
ㅡ Hey, don't think about it anymore. Look at me.
Akito forced himself to look at Rui, though he knee if he did that, he'll probably cry even more harder.
ㅡ You have me, I have you. We are going to support each other and me especially, I won't let you get hurt.
Searching for a way to stop the tears, Akito kissed Rui. But not as desperate as the first time.
It was a sweet, tender kiss. For Rui, it demonstrated the love he had, has, an will have until the end of the world, for him.
For Akito, it meant everything.
Everything he could and couldn't give him.
Everything he was and wasn't worth.
Everything he said and didn't said at that very moment.
Everything he had left to give
