[situationship]

[ They're already close, but he reaches over to cup his cheek and guide him back so he can look at him. That spot on the wall is not that interesting. ]

Sometimes, you're very stupid. You make a big deal over something, then tell me to forget about it?

[turbulency]

[ He grabs the hand on his cheek, guard up and defensive, a frustrated frown on his face. ]

Who're you calling stupid? I'm not making a big deal out of anything.

[situationship]

[ He bites his forehead since the rule is still a thing. ]

[turbulency]

[ OKAY

Bites his cheek. ]

[situationship]

[ Hand to cheek??? ]

Ow! Okay. We got that out of the way.

[turbulency]

[ Flicks his forehead. ]

You could've given me some warning.

[situationship]

Anyway, you really want me to forget about it.

[ Double checks. ]

[turbulency]

[ . . . ]

Yeah.

[situationship]

[ He waits only for a second before pulling Suguru in for a kiss, hand on his nape to steady him and the other holding his collar.

It's a moment and Satoru doesn't linger. He parts with a breath, ]

Don't forget about this.

[ If he is meant to forget the first time, then he'll just make a new first time. ]

[turbulency]

[turbulency]

[ Well, he will kiss Satoru again because that was much better than his hasty one yesterday, and he doesn't want to lose. ]

[situationship]

[ Help... This is fine. His hand slides down his neck to his back, as he's jumped with a kiss better than yesterday's. Maybe he'll make a soft noise, but it's also because he wants to talk. ]

If you're wondering if I like you, Suguru, then you are definitely stupid.

[ Because of course he does. Doesn't everything he do convey that? ]

[turbulency]

[ The noise is cute, and his overthinking brain has steadily slowed down to something less anxious. ]

You didn't say anything yesterday, so I figured you weren't interested.

[ Frowning. ]

[situationship]

You kissed me and you didn't comment on it at all after.

[ Reacts like Suguru has some audacity. ]

[turbulency]

[ Huh? ]

I figured my actions spoke for themselves?

[situationship]

[ Huh? ]

I thought you were screwing around.

[turbulency]

[ He will get into a sitting position now, and press his knuckles into his eyes.

Deep breath. ]

We really are stupid.

[ But it's funny, so he's smiling. ]

[situationship]

[ Satoru recognizes that voice as one without all the overthinking, which is good. They cleared up the air, even if it's incredible stupid.

However, ]

Why are you jumbling me in with you?

[ He leers from his lying down position and starts poking Suguru's back annoyingly and incessantly. ]

[turbulency]

[ He's so annoying. Grabs his hands. ]

You could've said something!

[ Annoyed, his expression is all pinched before it softens into something more wary. ]

... You're not just coddling me because you feel guilty about what happened, are you?

[ His defection. Normally he wouldn't ever think Satoru to coddle anyone, but he had been remarkably gentle with him these past few weeks. ]

[situationship]

[ He may have hands. ]

I don't see why you're popular with girls if you're like this.

[ Says him... Who is also one of the girls. ]

Kiss you out of guilt? That's insane behavior.

[ Who does that? People who want to give out pity? He has been gentler despite them getting into several physical fights, but that is different from this. ]

[turbulency]

It's not—

[ Well, it is kind of insane. But also. ]

I'm not saying you'd do it intentionally.

[ Maybe he's the insane one, but he knows that Satoru cares about him, and was hurt by his defection. It's not unreasonable to think some of that might get mixed up in this. ]

[situationship]

[ Suguru is not insane because people act on pity all the time and what he describes does happen. To Satoru, it just sounds like nonsense. Despite that, he gives it a moment for him to think over. He will at least give that to Suguru. ]

... It isn't out of guilt and it has nothing to do with what happened.

[ Maybe Suguru leaving encouraged him to be honest. ]

[turbulency]

Okay. [ He's not going to doubt what Satoru says; he only wanted to make sure that he thought about it.

Looks down at Satoru's hands, squeezing. ]

I like you too.

[ As if it wasn't already obvious. ]

[situationship]

[ He had some inkling before, but considered maybe it was just a kinship between them fostered by their potential and the bond forged in danger. Suguru is a special presence, someone who fills in every missing piece he didn't realize he had... this would be a red flag in real life but they're teenage boys and different from real life men.

It would have been fine if they were best friends, it would have been fine if they were more, and perhaps it could have been fine if Suguru left some day... As long as he exists, filling in those empty spaces. As long as he is still himself.

The squeeze is returned before he leans in to peck his nose for reassurance. Their feelings match... It took some fumbling, but they match. ]

Soooo what does that make us?

[turbulency]

[ The little peck blossoms an easy affection in his chest, bringing a smile to his face. There really isn't anyone who can make him smile as easily as Satoru. He really likes him... maybe too much.

For now, he takes one of Satoru's hands in his own, lacing their fingers together before meeting his gaze and raising a brow. ]

Should I call you my boyfriend?

[ He likes the label, even if it doesn't really encompass everything they are. Because he might be an over thinker, but he hadn't really considered that he and Satoru could be romantic. Their friendship was fulfilling, perfect (if frustrating at times), and everything that he could want.

At least until yesterday, and suddenly he did want. His feelings didn't change; it was more like realizing that he wanted to express them in a new way. ]
