I mean I didn't mean to look at another person!

I mean... well. I don't-- y'know. *He actually colored the faintest bit and glanced away, running his hand through his hair.*

Because you're my Shou-chan, my attention should be focused on you... right? I don't want you to feel bad that I admired some woman..

*It was oddly comforting to see Byakuran get a little flustered for once too and it helped Shouichi regain some of his wits*

I don't really care if you're looking at some fictitious woman. She's not even real. And I mean, just looking is just looking... right?

I'm not a looker or anything, so it's not like I should complain much. *Said so offhandedly*

Well.. okay, but--

Wait, what?! Shou-chan! *He frowned in obvious disapproval, reaching to take his hand and hold it.*

You're very handsome. Absolutely! Very eye-catching.

*Startled away from the movie when he felt his hand grabbed and he looked over, wide-eyed*

Eh?

*And then he blushed faintly, eyes darting away and down* You don't have to say stuff like that. I don't really care what I look like for the most part and I know I'm not bad looking particularly, but... I'm definitely not "eye-catching," Byakuran-san.

Shou-i-chi.

*Voice almost stern, he squeezed Shouichi's hand and brought his free hand up to brush lightly over his cheek, then on down to his chin to tip it up and make him look at him.*

I'm not just saying it. The first time I saw you, I remember stopping in my tracks. 'What a handsome man', I thought. Then, when I got to see you more upclose.. I saw the most beautiful, honest green eyes I've seen to date.

That cute blush, nervous smile... I love all of it.

*Shouichi was forced to look back into those lavender eyes and the blush on his cheeks only darkened as he listened to him. He knew the movie was playing on without either of their attention, but he didn't feel like he was missing much either*

R-really....? You've thought that ever since back then?

*This was total news to him. He was used to being that smart guy who was friends with the eccentric cute one, not noticed for things other than his brains*

Absolutely. I'm a shallow guy, you know, I always notice looks first. With most attractive people there isn't much else to them... so I was really happy when you turned out to be so. I don't know.

You. You're so smart and wise. You've always looked out for me and I love being with you. I love it. Love you, I just..

*Here, he seemed to be getting a little overwhelmed again, trailing off with pale pink cheeks.*

L-love...?

*Shouichi's heart was hammering so hard, it almost hurt and it felt hard to breathe. Byakuran really felt like that...? About him...?*

I... the best times of my life... were definitely the ones I've spent with you. *And he didn't even have to lie because he still felt that was true, no matter that he was only so blissfully ignorant at the time*

Of course I do.

Through the years... if I didn't, I wouldn't have gotten you involved. I wanted to keep you near, keep you safe while I went about with my business. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here, telling you this right now.

I want Shou-chan with me. Always have. *He closed his eyes and tipped his head low, bumping foreheads.*

*Shouichi had nothing to say to all of that. He was feeling more than a little overwhelmed. Byakuran had said he wanted them to be closer, to be as close as they could be while they were here, but to say that he loved him...

T-That was something different entirely wasn't it?

Without really thinking, mind racing with too many other things, he leaned forward and brushed his lips ever so lightly over the other man's...*

*Byakuran almost jumped in surprise and pulled back quickly after a moment, staring at Shouichi. Then, he seemed to regain his bearings and he shook his head with a smile.*

It's okay! I was just surprised. It's okay..

*Slowly, he leaned in again and paused, hovering close for just a moment before he kissed Shouichi, a tad more firmly than the other man had. His hand slid to the back of his neck, fingers sliding into short tendrils of hair.*

*Shouichi almost almost got up to run away right then and there while Byakuran just stared at him.

What the HELL had he been thinking?! Oh yeah, he hadn't been. That was obviously way too soon and --

And the train of thought was silenced immediately when Byakuran leaned forward and pressed his lips to Shouichi's. He didn't fight the kiss at all. In fact, he pretty much forgot to breathe as well. He only leaned in ever so slightly, fingers clutching the hem of his t-shirt nervously and shyly*

*There. That was better.

Carefully, he reached between them and grabbed the popcorn bowl, setting it aside so it wasn't in the way when his hand rested on Shouichi's waist, pulling him a little closer. It was nice, this soft kiss... after a few seconds, once he was sure Shouichi wasn't going to pull away, he deepened it, letting his eyes slip shut.*

*His eyes fluttered open in surprise when he felt the bowl moved and a hand on his waist, but after a moment they fell closed again and he melted into that kiss, feeling lost in it.

Soon though and he had to break it to gasp against Byakuran's lips, cheeks deeply flushed and trying to fill his lungs with air again*

*That was good; he'd needed a little time to breathe, too.

He stayed close, stroking Shouichi's cheek, fairly pink himself.*

You surprised me... you really did. I was going to wait until I thought you'd be comfortable with it but you beat me to it. *Chuckled softly, amused at them both.*

*Shouichi stayed where he was, leaning his forehead against Byakuran's, breathing hard*

I-- I wasn't really thinking, just after what you said, it must have felt like the right thing to do...

*He closed his eyes, sheepish and shy, memories of his dream filtering back just a bit.

The waking version was better, definitely... He'd really had little idea it'd feel quite like this despite it not being his first*

Mm... *Leaned in and pecked him gently.*

We're missing the movie. Not sure if I can concentrate much on it now. I don't want to stop kissing you...

*Another peck on the lips, then he dipped low and nuzzled into Shouichi's neck, laying a kiss there.*

*Shouichi's head tipped back and his breath caught again.*

W-wait a sec... I don't know.... if...

*It was remarkably hard to think at the moment but he wasn't so sure about abandoning the movie entirely and getting swept up in Byakuran's pace.*

*Another kiss to his neck, teeth grazing faintly before he tipped his head back up to kiss his lips again.*

Mm... multipass~

*He gasped softly and was about to try objecting again when he was suddenly being kissed again. And then the mood was rather abruptly interrupted*

What..?

Shouichi pulled back to give him a disbelieving look and then started laughing.* I can't believe you just said that you weirdo! *He let his head drop down to Byakuran's shoulder, resting there as he breathlessly chuckled in a mix of relief, amusment and odd giddiness*

*Laughing outright, he grabbed Shouichi around the waist and fell back against the arm of the couch, holding him close and grinning down at him.*

What? I thought it was funny!

It was totally inappropriate and unprovoked!

But I am laughing so I guess it was funny, heh. Doesn't make you any less weird for doing it though! *He was grinning back, face still lightly flushed from before. There was no way either of them was going to remember anything about this movie. Except "multipass." With that thought he laughed aloud again. After a moment he finally started to calm down, taking deep breaths as he laid against the couch arm with the white-haired man*

I should have been a comedian.

*Laughed quietly again and then finally cleared his throat, still grinning, but he had control over himself finally. He settled down, keeping Shouichi close to him, arm lightly over his waist, watching the movie.*

*Because of how they ended up that way Shouichi didn't even think twice about how they were laying together and just returned his attention to the movie, fairly relaxed. Thankfully it wasn't like the plot was terribly deep and following was no problem either.

After a while he stretched out an arm as far as he could and snagged the popcorn again without having to sit up and dragged it over so they could both reach it to munch on.*

*Reached out to grab a few kernels, popping them in his mouth, attention focused on the movie for now. After a little while, he piped up.*

I have no idea what's going on.
