Chapter Text
In a garage in the morning a door opens
"Tsukasa-kun! Welcome to my beloved residence!" - A boy with purple hair and yellow eyes smiles at his guest, waving happily.
The blonde mumbles pointing at the other boy "Don't give me that Rui... This is the third time you've forgotten your cardigan at my house" - Tsukasa sighs throwing the cardigan in Rui's face
"So aggressive~"

During the last few months Rui and Tsukasa have been getting closer more after their school trip, they, who were already close, are now... like one person.
Even with your crazy ideas every day. Tsukasa is never far from Rui, the purple one, always sleeping at the blonde's house, whether to watch a movie, do some schoolwork or something like that.
Rui didn't admit it but he was always very “shy” away from hugs, or affection in general, his friends before high school never showed him physical affection, and he thinks ‘its fine!’.
While meeting Emu, Rui ended up getting more used to hugs and headpats from her, with Tsukasa he also got used to the his famous pat on Rui’s shoulder, which the blonde do when he was proud of Rui.
However... after that school trip and that accident...
Tsukasa has shown more affection to Rui, affection he only showed to his siblings and childhood friends.
But something as silly as a hug, ruffling your hair, or a pat on the arm seems so...
So...
Strange...
Rui thinks it's strange, because he feels strange.
Rui always knew he liked boys and he never liked girls, but… Is this really the reason? Receiving affection from the gender you are attracted to? No.. it wouldn't be that...
During the school trip that accident happened...
That accident
Tsukasa, Rui and the guys from Rui’s classroom were playing cards, but it was already late. Tsukasa ended up losing and having the punishment of going to get some juice from a machine outside, Rui insisted on going with Tsukasa but...
Footsteps are heard
"It's the teacher, turn off the lights!!" - says a boy from Rui's class
The lights go down
"HEY!! WAIT!!! Where do i go????!!!" - Tsukasa says scared
"Under the table of course" - Rui says with a provocative smile
With a murmur Tsukasa goes into Rui's futon, hiding from the teacher. A door noise is heard.
Tsukasa snuggles closer to Rui, just listening to his slow breathing, 'he really is a good actor' he thinks.
The blonde feels warm, it's cozy, he's never gotten so close to Rui but... Was it good? He wasn't uncomfortable because of Rui but because he was afraid that the teacher would discover him there, it would be embarrassing.
After a few sighs from Rui, the teacher closes the door and the boys get up again.
Tsukasa feels a little sad, he liked being close to his best friend like that, it seemed calming, he could stay like that for hours, days, weeks maybe.
- a shame that 2 minutes later they were caught by the teacher -
Rui was always tired... tired of remembering that day, he wished, he wanted to pull Tsukasa so he wouldn't leave even after the teacher leaves.
He wanted to hug the other's waist and--
'Huh.. huh..? HUH??!!! What am I thinking, no no no.'
"Hey Ruiiii, can you hear me? Did you dissociate? HEY!! Did you sleep well today????" - Tsukasa waves to Rui
"O-Of course Tsukasa-kun.. hahaha... So... Erm... Shall we go out??" - Rui tries to change the subject but can't hide the fact that he's blushing like a tomato
"HAHAHA! Let's go! The star of the future will teach you how to buy clothes!!" His big smile infects Rui even more, who just laughs awkwardly and goes to the garage door.
A few hours have passed, Rui is lying on Tsukasa's bed scrolling through his cell phone feed while waiting for the other to finish taking a shower.
His feed has some arts that gives him creativity and announcements of shows around the city, some posts from the band Nightcord at 25:00 that his friend Mizuki is in and some posts from the famous Vivid Bad Squad.
Until a nightcord notification appears
'Saki-kun? Isn't she down there?' - Rui goes to the balcony (?) of Tsukasa's room and sees Saki waving.
- nightcord
> leonii saki 💫
- Heu Rui-kun!!
> (w×s) backstage alchemist
- What's wrong Saki-kun? (I didn't even know you had my number)
> leonii saki 💫
- Ah, I just wanted to comment on something with you,
- You don't even need to come down here (I ended up getting it from emu-chan~)
> (w×s) backstage alchemist
- What would it be?
> leonii saki 💫
- well..
- It is..
- hm..
- How was the date with oni-chan?
> (w×s) backstage alchemist
- date?
- what date?
> leonii saki 💫
- well my brother was very excited yesterday, he said he would go shopping for clothes and accessories with you
- I suppose it's a date
'Date? He excited? Don't think don't think!!'
> (w×s) backstage alchemist
- I don't think this is a date...
- But well
- It was cool, he helped me choose clothes and I bought him an earring.
> leonii saki 💫
- earring??? Oni-chan has pierced ears???
> (w×s) backstage alchemist
- No, but he said he wants to have it!
> leonii saki 💫
- my brother with earrings... So cool!!
- hm
- my brother is coming out of the bathroom
- well, good luck there! Don't make too much noise!
'Don't make too much noise?? Don't tell me that...'
Footsteps are heard from behind
"RUIII have you seen my shirt? I can't find it" - The blonde enters the room looking around looking for something, with a towel on his shoulder, sweatpants and...
'is he.. shirtless...?'
'RUI DON'T LOOK!'
A wave of heat passes through Rui's face, he looks away, he can't look, Tsukasa will think he's strange, he can't--
"Rui! You're sitting on my shirt!"
Rui hadn't really noticed when he returned to Tsukasa's bed and when he sat down, it seemed like his memories disappeared when he noticed Tsukasa approaching him, like that...
"Here!" - Tsukasa puts on his clothes and sits next to Rui
"Do you want to watch a movie? Anime?" - Rui doesn't realize what Tsukasa is saying, feeling his throat strangely dry, he looks at Tsukasa and notices his hair is semi-wet, with drops dripping...
'So beautiful.. .' - Rui approaches Tsukasa's face, their eyes meeting
"Rui?"
"Let's watch a movie..."
"Huh? A-ah okay!" - Tsukasa smiles and takes his laptop.

A few hours pass and the movie they were watching ends.
"So boring... I thought it would be more interesting" - says the blonde, burying his head in the pillow tiredly
"I said we should have watched something different, not action again" - Rui sighs leaning his back against a pillow
"Well I'm sleepy... Huh.." - Tsukasa looks at Rui with part of his face still buried in the pillow
Rui just smiles and gets closer "you dont want to try and see something else? Today is Saturday, we are free tomorrow."
Tsukasa gets off the pillow and sits next to Rui "another movie? Series maybe?"
Rui starts looking at a film catalog on his cell phone "How about a romance?"
"Romance?" Tsukasa asks confused
"We usually don't do any scripts related to love, and when we do, it's not the focus. Let's watch a movie just to give some ideas." Rui smiles gently
"It seems good..!" Tsukasa would normally speak in a loud voice but his fatigue is growing.

While they were watching the movie, Tsukasa ended up falling asleep and falling with his head on Rui's shoulder.
Rui sighs 'I should have wait for tomorrow...' - softly touching Tsukasa's hair.
'So soft...' - after thinking this Rui freezes and moves his hand away 'what an idiot, I can't do that...!' he looks at Tsukasa again, listening to his calm breathing, his chest rising and falling, his hair falling slightly over his face and the shirt he is wearing a little wrinkled
...
..
Then Rui approaches, taking the boy off his shoulder and placing Tsukasa in his own bed. He pulls out a futon that Tsukasa had prepared for him and spreads it out on the floor.
Still sitting on the bed he looks at the blonde, still sleeping peacefully
'hm... tsukasa-kun.. how can you do it with me' - He then approaches, caressing his friend's cheek while watching the boy still sleeping.
Rui brings his face closer to Tsukasa and then analyzes every detail of his face. A few freckles on his nose and cheek, his jaw and neck with some muscles due to Tsukasa's training, his blonde eyelashes that even though they are not long are clearly visible, a remnant of makeup shadow on his eye.
His lip...
'soft.'
'feels soft.'
'I.. maybe I won't..'
Rui gets closer to Tsukasa, leaving his face millimeters away.
He feels Tsukasa's breath on his face.
Is warm..
Rui gets closer and..
He touches Tsukasa's lips softly.
The boy's eyes widen and he walks away, covering his red face.
'What did I do..! What-- hm.. no no no!!' - Rui feels fear, despair, but not regret. He touches his lip, his lip chapped while Tsukasa's was soft, a simple contrast.
The boy with purple hair lays down on his futon hiding his face, he hopes that Tsukasa didn't hear or notice what happened.
