Work Text:
It was a pretty normal day. Tenma Tsukasa and Kamishiro Rui were sitting on the rooftop of their school. It was something they did quite often, nothing new.
So why did it feel like something was off? Something seems so different, Tsukasa can’t put it into words.
The sun is shining, Rui is refusing to eat his vegetables, Tsukasa screamed when he saw a bug. Nothing out of the ordinary.
But still. There was something wrong. Something that Tsukasa couldn’t put into words, but he feels it.
Even Rui’s little smile was the same. It let him feel the same as always. Looking at Rui’s smile made him feel warm, fuzzy, comfortable even. His heart was beating a bit faster, until it suddenly skipped a beat.
Oh.
oh.
Tsukasa is in love with his friend. Why didn’t he think of this sooner? Why did he come to this realisation just now? Being in front of exactly that friend? God he was doomed.
He felt his cheeks getting hot, trying to hide it with his hands. Suddenly he felt like crying. This realisation was so sudden. He doesn’t know how to act.
„Tsukasa? Is everything okay?“
He swears his heart skipped a beat yet again. Despite sitting in front of him, he didn’t expect to hear Ruis voice. In fact that’s the least he wanted to hear right now but also exactly what he needs to hear.
„why of course! There is nothing that could trouble a future star such as myself!“, Tsukasa said, finishing his sentence with a loud laugh.
Even though he was laughing he wasn’t feeling as happy as it seems. Now being lost in his thoughts he didn’t catch any of Rui’s words. But as he watched Rui just sitting there and smiling at him he felt like crying. This warm feeling in his chest just didn’t feel right.
‚Ah I really am screwed.‘
