Chapter Text
Kuboyasu had a problem. What was it, you ask? Well, he had recently found something out about himself. He was bisexual. On top of that, he was also in love with his best friend, Kaidou Shun. Man, this is really going to be an issue for the future. What if he finds out?! WHAT IF HE ALREADY LIKES SOMEONE?! …no aren. Stop. We will never get anywhere if we worry about stupid shit like this!! Bored and overwhelmed, Kuboyasu made his way downstairs from his room to the garage. When thinking became too much for him, he liked to take his motorcycle for a ride. Considering the issues he was going through, that sounded like the perfect thing to do. He opened the door to the garage, it making a loud creaking sound as he walked in. Hopping onto the motorbike, Kuboyasu head off, racing down the road leading away from his house. He had gotten about as far as the convenience store, which was pretty much halfway between his and Kaidou’s houses. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, one that included him, a surprise, and his best friend. He took off once again, this time in the direction of Shun’s house.

~end of convo~
Kuboyasu waited outside of Kaidou’s home, rocking back and forth on his heels. The door swung open, revealing the short, blue haired boy, wearing a very surprised expression on his face. “A-aren!? What the hell are you doing here?” he stammered. “Y-you know my mom doesn't like it when people turn up unannounced!” Kuboyasu chuckled. “Oh come on, Shun. I’m sure she won't mind!!” “Okay, I guess she doesn’t mind you anyway… but that doesn’t matter right now!! Let’s go to my room!!” Kaidou exclaimed, practically dragging the purple haired boy upstairs.
“So…” “So..?” “So.. why are you here, ren?” Kaidou asked. “I was bored, and had nothing else to do!! I thought it would be nice to come see ya,” replied Kuboyasu. “Also, what’s with the nickname? Ren, huh?” Kaidou flushed bright red. “Ah- uhm- I-I just l-liked it!! I mean, we’re friends -best friends!! Uhm-" He was stuttering. “No, no, don't worry. It's cute!! I like it too… Shun-Baby!” Kuboyasu had a slightly mocking tone in those last words, a laughing smile on his face as he watched Kaidou turn a deeper shade of red. “SHUN-BABY?? Oh god, Aren, are you my mom now or something?! Quit it!!” he said, laughing. “Haha, only joking. But I think we do need to find a nickname for YOU, Shun,” Kuboyasu replied, poking his shoulder. “Hmm… I honestly can't think of any. My name can't really be shortened like yours, it would sound weird,” explained Kaidou. “True…” There was somewhat of an awkward silence after that. Kuboyasu became deep in thought, mainly thinking about how much he loved the nickname Kaidou gave him. Oh, how he wanted him to keep using that name forever.
“Hey, you good?” Immediately snapping out of his pretty embarrassing thought cycle, Kuboyasu realised Kaidou was dangerously close to his face, lightly slapping his arm to see whether he was actually alive. He startled backwards a bit, blushing furiously. “AH- uh, yeah, I'm fine. Thanks,” he said nervously. “Do you wanna go out somewhere?” Kaidou asked. “What kind of question is that?! Of course I do!!” Kuboyasu exclaimed. It was a hot summer day, and they were both absolutely boiling. “It's too hot in here, I need to go somewhere or I may die.” the blue-haired boy laughed. “Well, we’d better go somewhere then, I don't want you to die on me!!”
The two boys had decided to go to the park. Seems childish, but they liked it there (at least when it wasn't full of screaming children). Plus, sitting on the swings, chatting with Kaidou sounded like a dream to Kuboyasu then. They rode on Aren’s motorcycle to get there. Kaidou was on the back, clinging onto the purple-haired boy's waist; and due to this newfound crush, it was sort of difficult for Kuboyasu to focus. Oh my god. Kaidou is literally clinging onto me right now, like, really tightly. HOW am I supposed to focus on driving this thing while the love of my life is basically hugging me??!! Okay, just ignore the boy on the back of your motorcycle, and concentrate on this stupid vehicle while trying not to get into an accident!! They arrived at the park about 5 minutes later. After parking, they walked over to where the swings were, hand in hand. As usual, Kuboyasu's mind, and heart, were racing. He seriously held my hand?! Is he onto me..? No,no… does he LIKE ME? Fuck, shut up, brain. We're only friends at the moment. But was this really platonic? Well, at the moment, it was. Unfortunately. Whatever, it wasn't the time for him to think of such things. After all, he was supposed to be having fun with his “best friend” !!
The two sat down on the swings, gently pushing themselves back and forth while they chatted. Kaidou, as usual, was ranting on about this “Dark Reunion” thing, an evil organization formed to eventually…oh, he lost track after that. “Shun.” Kaidou looked up. “Yes, Aren?” Kuboyasu sighed. “You know, you don't have to pretend to be this badass superhero around me, right?” “W-what do you mean?” “I mean, I'd rather hang out with the real you than the ‘Jet-Black Wings’. He's cool and all, but Kaidou Shun is even cooler.” Blushing, Kaidou started picking at his nails. “Eh..? So you're saying you actually like my real p-personality?” The taller boy suddenly started laughing. “Huh?!? Aren, did I say something wrong? Why are you laughing?” Kaidou’s mind was full of worries. “Haha, no. I just find it funny that you don't think I'd like your real self. Why wouldn't I?" He said, looking into the other boy’s bright crimson eyes. Woah. I've never gotten the chance to get a good look at Shun’s eyes before, theyre… beautiful. Kuboyasu felt a warm sensation creeping up from his neck onto his cheeks. However, Kaidou was feeling something very similar. …why is he staring at me? Huh? Did he always look like this? So… cool looking. So …handsome? This is a normal feeling for friends, right? Wow, his eyes are… “Ah!!” Kaidou looked away, slightly flushed. The purple-haired boy was now extremely flustered, even from that small interaction. What.. was that…? I mean, what was he even doing? To an outsider, it would have looked like we were in a relationship!! Shit. The last thing I need right now is Shun finding out I like him. “...Should we go home?” Kaidou asked. “Yeah, probably.” Kuboyasu answered. “But on one condition. You have to try and convince your mom to let me stay over.”
