Kunigami isn't sure when these feelings first started to appear. Was it when he first met Chigiri? It couldn't have been that early right? Or was it when Chigiri started to play soccer with him after school? That sounds a bit lame for such an important timeline. Kunigami doesn't know if "important" is the right word. To him, these feelings he has towards his best friend seem too sacred, too discreet to be happening because of such ordinary occurrences.

Kunigami is lying on his back on the school's terrace floor as he gazes upon the blue sky, completely absorbed in his own mind. He is rarely like this, he is a man of actions and spoken words, he doesn't like it when people around him have sophisticated thoughts. Yet now he's walking through his own head, retracing all the time he spent with Chigiri and wondering what makes him so into the red-haired guy.

He likes it when he's with Chigiri, Kunigami thought. He has no idea why but he has butterflies whenever he makes Chigiri happy. Everytime Chigiri smiles because of him, it feels as if he's accomplished something superficial, something out of his capability.
He likes it when Chigiri let him braided his hair on the side, he likes the smell, the texture, the feel of Chigiri's hair on his skin. And Kunigami absolutely adores the fact that Chigiri let him massages his right leg sometimes when Kunigami comes over to Chigiri's house. He likes touching Chigiri, not in a sexual way, just because Chigiri skin feels neither too soft or too frigid, it feels just right to lay his hands upon to caress. Kunigami also loves to take validation from Chigiri's reactions to his doings, whether it's buying Chigiri new hair clips, taking him out on dates or supporting Chigiri on the field. As long as it pleases Chigiri, he's willing to do it. He wanted to spoil the Princess into oblivion so Chigiri can only be his.

At first, Kunigami thought these feelings were normal for a person to have towards their friends but deep down he knew he didn't see Chigiri just as a friend, nor a close friend, he craved for something beyond those yet he was still afraid to admit.

And then 'that' happened, it was right after they won a match up against another school for selection, Kunigami still remember vividly how comfortable it felt when Chigiri ran to hug him. The action of Chigiri hugging him makes he feels like he's levitating, that he's finally achieved what he always wanted. For him, that hug was way more valuable than any trophies, any goals. He could've sworn that he was desperately wishing for time to stop so he could hug Chigiri forever. The lingering smell of his hair, the smell of his sweat, the feel of his body pressing against his and the feel of his breath on Kunigami's shoulder was driving the muscular guy insane. It was at that moment that Kunigami realized just how much he yearns for Chigiri, how much he likes the guy, how much he loves the guy, how much he wants to make the Princess his and his only. Everything after that felt blurry to him, all he heard was Chigiri's laughter next to his ears as he stood in the middle of the field, hugging Chigiri with all his might, burying his head into the Princess' shoulders.

From that point on, he couldn't hide his feelings for Chigiri anymore, he has gotten more close, more intimate with Chigiri than ever but never crossing the line. Yes, of course he was shy at first but he did as his heart told and Chigiri went along with him, which was the biggest relief.

Kunigami unconsciously smiles at that thought, though his heart isn't quite as content.

Man's greed knows no bounds, for now Kunigami craves for more than just being closer with Chigiri, but he isn't sure how Chigiri feels about him. Sure, he might have gotten along with how frequent they hug each other when they are alone but Chigiri might just be misunderstanding his intentions. What if those dates were just ordinary hang outs with friends to the Princess? What if the Princess thought those were normal interactions? These thoughts have been weighing on Kunigami's head the past few days and now he wants to do something about it. Being a man of actions, he is eager to make a move, he started thinking about confessing to the guy. If it were to be a few months ago, he would've straight up confessed. But now that he's in too deep, Kunigami's fear of rejection grows more and more. He's afraid that Chigiri would no longer be his friend nor play soccer with him, and he won't let Kunigami touch him like he does now. Yet he yearns for the long-haired's affections and Kunigami wanted to show the guy his affections too.

As he was still deep in thoughts, the clicking sound of the terrace door opening snapped him back to Earth. Kunigami turned his head towards the door and was met with a grinning Chigiri, carrying a bento in his hands. Kunigami doesn't know whether it was because of the sunlight or the gymnastics uniform Chigiri was wearing but the Princess looks even more beautiful than how he did yesterday. The red-haired walks towards to where he was lying and staring in awed and sat down next to him.

"Why are you staring?" - He raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing, the sun was too bright so I couldn't see very clear." - Kunigami averted his gaze to somewhere else.

"You seem strange these days" - He says as he stuffs his mouth with egg rolls - "Are you going through something and didn't tell me?"

Hell yes he is, but he could never say that directly.

"I guess you could say that...." - Kunigami mumbled then popped one of Chigiri's mini tomatoes into his mouth. The sour taste calms him down a little.

Chigiri glares at him with fierce eyes.
"And you didn't bother to tell me, I thought I was your best friend?" He pouts "Is it about soccer? Or is it about a girl? Come on! Tell me!!"

Chigiri shakes Kunigami shoulders, hoping for an answer but Kunigami already closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to avoid the subject.
The red-haired sighed loudly as he closed his finished lunchbox, cleaning his mouth with wet napkins before laying down next to the muscle head. His hair was about to touch the floor when Kunigami suddenly stretched out his arm under Chigiri's head. Chigiri looked up to see muscle head was staring at him, annoyed.

"You hair will get dirty you stupid." He scolds.

"Oh so you're worried about my hair more than me? How nice." Chigiri gave him an attitude back but he still places his head on the muscular arms.

"So what was it that you're going through?" Chigiri persisted.

"Shut up I'm tryna sleep." Kunigami tries to be spiteful to shoo the guy away. Despite wanting to confess right this moment, the thought of losing Chigiri as a friend if it doesn't work out is holding him miles back.

Chigiri on the other hand after being told to shut it really shut it because he fully knows what Kunigami is thinking about. To be honest, anyone would have figured it out by now, and Chigiri is not stupid when it comes to reading people's emotions, unlike a certain muscle head. Chigiri finds it hard to believe how dumbstruck Kunigami is when it comes to affections. How could he not have taken the hint that Chigiri also reciprocates his feelings? Chigiri lets Kunigami hugs him, holds his hands, braids his hair, goes on dates with him yet Kunigami still seems to be confused and reluctant.

Chigiri slightly pouts as he hugged Kunigami from the side, now also closing his eyes to try to sleep. They both know that they have no schedule in the afternoon so they can stay like this til whenever.

Neither of them could sleep, obviously. Their hearts were beating so loud they were both afraid that the other will hear it.

Chigiri is now thinking back to all the memories they shared. The red-haired realizes that he needs to be the one that initiates or else they will stay like this forever, and he doesn't want that to happen.

He loves Kunigami, that seems late to admit but he really does. Kunigami has been so patient, so gentle with him as if Chigiri's something precious to him since the very start. Although Chigiri has always been loved and cared for by people because of how pretty he looks and how good he is at soccer, but sometimes people treat him as if he's nothing but an eye candy that's only for display. He's been approached by guys and girls before and they all left when they found out Chigiri has an attitude and is extremely stubborn, despite his flattering appearance.

Yet it's different when he's with Kunigami. Kunigami gave Chigiri the princess treatment while still seeing him as a human being who has opinions and emotions. In fact, Kunigami did more than just those, he gave Chigiri the affections no one has ever given Chigiri before. It was not just admiration, for they both admire each other. It was love, affections, intimacy all together in one place. Chigiri loves himself more when he's with Kunigami, for the latter was always there to cheer him on and support him with all he can. Those were the validations that Chigiri was looking for ever since he was a kid, he wanted someone to always be there for him no matter what and Kunigami is the one that fits perfectly into the description.

It feels good when Kunigami touches him with his gentleness. It feels good when Kunigami locked him in his muscular arms, Chigiri has never felt safer in those arms, it feels as if as long as he stays like that, he's protected forever. He likes how clumsy Kunigami was when he braided his hair for the first time, his hair was left a mess but they had such a laugh that there were tears in Chigiri's eyes. After that, Kunigami persisted on braiding his hair several more times to gain experience, now he's skillfully braiding Chigiri's hair whenever he asks for it. Or when Kunigami offered to help massaging Chigiri's right leg when Chigiri cut his hand and did so delicately with attention to details, as if Chigiri woulf break if he had used more force than he already did.

Chigiri adores his muscular body too, although the red-haired always called him muscle head but he would instantly fold whenever he stole a glance at the guy when he was working out in the gym. And when they go out for movies, it was always Chigiri who got to choose the movie they were going to watch. Dates have never been 50/50, for Kunigami always paid first or paid secretly when he went to the bathroom. Although Chigiri persisted on paying him back and gave him the money multiple times, the money would still be returned to Chigiri because Kunigami said "I asked you to go with me so it's only right for me to pay." What kind of reason is that? But he loves that gallantry, especially when it's given to him and him only.

However, now that Kunigami hasn't taken the hint, Chigiri feels like it's his fault for being to lenient and laid back about this relationship. He didn't make Kunigami feel secure enough to confess and he is partly to blame, now he will take responsibility.

He slightly opens his eyes a bit to steal a glance at the guy next to him, who, fortunately, is still 'sleeping'. Chigiri sits up and removes his arm from hugging Kunigami. The sudden action makes the muscle head lightly flinched as he opens his eyes right after to stare at Chigiri in confusion.

Kunigami is met with the most fierce-looking eyes ever and seems to be taken aback a little. He has never seen Chigiri look this determined outside the football field about anything, and he isn't quite catching up to why Chigiri might be giving him this look.

"Are you mad?" Kunigami asked worriedly, now sitting up as well. He kinda regret not being up front with his feelings earlier. "It's nothing I swear, I'm just tired. I will tell you when the time is right."

Kunigami gently takes Chigiri's hands from the sides and cups them together in an attempt to calm the Princess down.

Chigiri is immediately melted by the gesture and somehow softens his attitude. He lets out a sigh and pulls away from Kunigami's hands. The red-haired then placed his hands on the muscle head's shoulders, leaning closer to look into his amber eyes, their foreheads touching.

The lack of space between them quickly makes Kunigami turns all shy and flustered. It's cute seeing Kunigami getting all worked up because of him, Chigiri thought to himself.

"Well, I also have something to tell you." Chigiri speaks slowly, with a volume that's only audible to Kunigami. The red-haired starts to feel the blood rushing to his cheeks, making them all heated up with a rosy color. This slight change in appearance is fully captured by Kunigami's eyes. Though embarassed, he knows that he would be such a coward if he backs out now.

Chigiri took a deep breath before saying.
"I like you, Kunigami." He tried to stay calm as those 4 words slipped out of his lips, his heart beating like crazy and blood rushing up to his head.

"Not only as a friend, I know it's weird coming from a guy but I like you romantically. It's like, you know, uh, love between two lovers kinda way. Yes, in that way, not just friends." Chigiri continues to explain in a sloppy manner, the embarassment takes over him as he averts his gaze away from those amber eyes. Yet the other remains silent, so silent that all Chigiri could hear was his own heart beating, ready to jump out of his chest at any moment. He started to regret confessing, and just as when he's about to stand up and run away and never contact Kunigami again, the other pulls him into a big, tight hug with his warm hand on Chigiri's head.

"...Is it true?" Kunigami asked in a raspy voice, sounding almost too astonished to be speaking normally. "Is it true that, you, like me in that way?"

"Stupid Kunigami, of course it's true, why would I ever joke about that?" Chigiri tries his best not to be suffocated by the hug he is getting as he struggles to answer the question.

Kunigami then pulls away, cupping Chigiri's face in his own hands, feeling the heat on those rosy cheeks "But why?"

Chigiri is now pouting from his cheeks being cupped, he gives him the biggest frown ever, asking back "Why not? Do you not like me back?"

"No, I like you, I like you so much, I love you, I just didn't expect you to like me back. I mean you're pretty, you're handsome, you're talented, you're fun to be around, how can I not love you? I love you, Chigiri." Kunigami quickly responded, with his eyes locked on the beautiful person before him, still in disbelief as the confession slips out of his mouth.

Hearing those sincere words coming from the guy they love both made them almost explode in happiness. They can both feel the heat and the tension in the air.

Chigiri is dumbstruck by the confession, all the courage he gathered earlier in order to confess has vanished without a trace. Never in his 17 years of living has he felt this much embarassment, but also he is happy, he is content, he heard exactly what he needed to hear and he couldn't ask for anything more.

And so is Kunigami, who would have thought that Chigiri also likes him back? And that Chigiri would also be the one to confess to him? Never in his wildest dreams has Kinigami dared to think of this unexpected situation, yet it happened just minutes ago, he can still hear Chigiri's voice lingering in his ears. Now they're still feeling the tension, still bathing themselves in contentment and happiness while looking into each other's eyes. Kunigami wants to touch him more, he wants to show him that he loves him too, that he's been waiting for this since forever.

"Can I kiss you?" Kunigami finally asks, breaking the silence.

Chigiri is now too overwhelmed to answer properly so he just nods in consensual.

Kunigami doesn't give him a second to spare as he immediately leans in for a passionate kiss. With his cheeks cupped in Kunigami's hands, Chigiri obeyingly follows Kunigami's lead as they make out for the first time. God knows how much they've both been holding back, waiting just for this moment to happen so they can wrap each other in a tight embrace.

Kunigami moves his left hand to the back of Chigiri's head, the other down to his manly waist, hugging it and pulling him closer with Chigiri's legs now wrapped around him. Chigiri, on the other hand, puts both of his arms around Kunigami's neck, hugging him for support.

Chigiri's toned body pressed against Kunigami's muscular body. The sensation both makes them weak for one another, reminding them of how long they've been left starving.

The kiss gets deeper and deeper every passing second. Kunigami's tounge skillfully seperates the red-haired teeth and explores his moist insides, he then tugs on his lips, licking both his upper and lower lips. Chigiri is being driven out of his mind, he couldn't handle the overstimulation and pulls back a few times but Kunigami doesn't let him rest for too long, he constantly reminds the Princess that Chigiri is now his and his only with his kissing skills.

Kunigami finally pulls away from Chigiri, only to start kissing the side of his graceful neck seconds later.

Chigiri takes his chance to breathe. His lips are now so swollen because of the kiss that it makes him hot and itchy all over. The dizziness hits him as he inhales in the smell of Kunigami's hair, which is brushing against his jaw. The wet sensation that Kunigami's smooches leaves him with makes him shiver a bit. He knows if this continues, they'll end up in a very messy situation, but he's so hooked on to this he couldn't bring himself to say no. Just by thinking about how fiercely Kunigami goes crazy for him, he selfishly wants this to last a bit longer.

Kunigami has admitted defeat to his desires, he didn't expect Chigiri to be this cute and alluring all of a sudden. How can he resist such eyes? How can he possibly ignore the craving he's been enduring all this time? He wants to just completely devour Chigiri right then and there, so the Princess can be his forever.

Just when Chigiri thinks he would go overboard, Kunigami manages to stop himself.

Chigiri is surprised by this too. He looked down into the muscle head eyes, which are filled with inappropriate intentions for him, trying not to be distracted.

"...I'm sorry, I was too excited." Kunigami sheepishly apologizes after making a mess out of Chigiri. He hugs the Princess tighter as a way to beg for forgiveness.

Chigiri loves this new side of Kunigami and sarcastically grins at him before placing a smooch on the tip of his nose.
"You're always forgiven. I like it when you go batshit because of me."

Kunigami can hear the sound of Chigiri's heart beating loudly as he places his head on Chigiri's chest, hugging him by the waist.

"We'll continue this when we get home."
