Yuuta

I didn't expect to wake up and find my brother and Kaname curled up under the kotatsu. I looked over and saw Kaname's clothes hanging in the kitchen. There must've been a storm last night. I was so tired I didn't even wake up. I looked through the cabinets in the kitchen, mostly on autopilot. When was I going to be able to see Shun again? If our meetings were this sporadic how was I ever going to be able to be prepared to take things to the next level.

And there wasn't anyone I really could ask advice from either. The door opened. "Yuuki? I brought the manga you wanted." Chizuru. He walked in and looked over at the kotatsu. "You guys had a slumber party and didn't invite me?"

"Those two did." Chizuru frowned. His voice had woken both of them up though. Kaname was looking around like he didn't know where he was and Yuuki was trapped by his head on top of his arm. Shun appeared behind Chizuru. My chest tightened. "Omelets okay?" Everyone grumbled their agreement.

"I'll help." Shun grabbed an apron and walked into the kitchen while Chizuru went on to pester Yuuki and Kaname. He touched my hand lightly and smiled. "Sorry I thought Chizuru told you guys we would be here."

"I don't mind seeing you." I cracked a couple eggs before stealing a glance at his face, which was bright red.

Kaname

I watched them from the living room. Shun and Yuuta were acting like they always did. Shun blushed a couple times and touched Yuuta a bit more than normal, but it wasn't anything anyone would notice unless they knew. Yuuki was barely even looking at them though he did look a little tense. Chizuru was going on and on about some manga Yuuki had apparently wanted to read. Yuuki quietly nodded in all the right places, chimed in when it seemed right, and kept Chizuru's attention but his heart wasn't in it.

It's understandable that he would start to feel lonely when there was going to be someone else taking up Yuuta's time. Hell, I was already starting to get lonely. I just had to have faith in Yuuta's ability to juggle priorities. Friedns would always be number one. We all promised that forever ago.

Shun

Yuuta was always great at cooking. There were some things I learned from him that I used everyday. I always liked watching him lose himself in what he was doing. A couple pointed glances from Yuuki told me he had to know that something was up. I kept my contact to a minimum. I really would prefer us to be alone. That was hurting my heart bit being that those were my best friends in the other room.

The way Yuuta moved, the muscles in his forearms, his eyelashes touching his cheeks, and the way he bit his lip when he was concentrating just made me want to sit there and watch him forever. To just be next to him forever. That couldn't really hapen with everyone I knew sitting in the other room.

Yuuta fed into what I wanted, creating reasons to touch me. I was grateful. We'd have to find ways to be with each other soon, that or just let everyone know. I didn't know if I was ready for that though. And even if I was, Yuuta might not be. And wasn't it better to wait until after high school. These were things I never had to think about before. It was nerve racking. Love wasn't meant to be easy though.
