"You've been acting weird," you say as Yuji starts to pull his hand from yours.
"Weird? Me?" He shakes his head, quickly flashing you his boyish grin that says 'everything is totally fine'.
"Yes, weird, you." You put your hands on your hips with a little pout when he fully slips his hand from yours. "Stop bullshitting me, Yu. I know you."
"I-" He's suddenly at a complete loss for words—how the hell is he supposed to tell you he's in love with you? That's why he's been acting so weird lately, pulling away because he can hardly think straight whenever you're near him now. And the small touches, they all feel too much, too much when his heart races anytime your fingers intertwine with his.
And the thought of telling you all this, that he could lose you over his feelings? It already has him spiraling, scared to lose even a sliver of you.
"I… uh- I just…" His eyes dart past you as he puts a little distance between you two, and the movement alone leaves a pit forming in your stomach.
"If you don't want to be friends or something… You can just tell me."
"Wait- what? No," He shakes his head, hands instinctively pulling you into his chest before he can even think about it. His arms wrap tightly around you, muscles flexing as he holds you closer. "Never that."
"Then why are you acting like this?" You ask quietly, "One minute you're like this, holding me. And the next you're so… distant."
The guilt's already eating him alive, hearing the hurt in your voice. Knowing he's the reason you've been feeling like this, all because he's been too scared to tell you how he really feels.
"Honestly," He lets out a shaky breath, mumbling softly in your hair. "I'm scared… so damn scared."
"Of what?" You ask, lashes fluttering up at him. "It's just me."
He laughs softly, "Just you?" His eyes flick to your lips—fuck, he just wants to kiss you. "You say that like it's any easier."
"C'mon, Yu." You lean up, pressing a reassuring kiss to his cheek.
His cheeks heat, "S-shit, you can't do stuff like that."
"Like what?" You ask, leaning in again, pressing another quick kiss to his cheek. "This?"
He's left a stuttering mess, "y-yes, that," and before you have the chance to tease him any further, he blurts, "I'm just scared of losing you."
"Losing me?" Your smile falters, "You'll never lose me, Yu."
"Just… promise after, we can go back to normal," he looks down at you with pleading eyes, as if he needs to hear you say it, needing to hear he can take it all back, that it wouldn't change anything between the two of you. "And you'll forget I said anything at all?"
"Promise," you say, offering your pinky.
He laces his pinky with yours, taking a deep breath as he squeezes his eyes shut like he's bracing for impact. "Fuck, I'm so nervous." He lets out an awkward laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's just… every time I look at you, all I can think about is how pretty you are," he cups your face in his hands, thumbs gently brushing your cheeks, "what it would feel like to kiss you."
Slowly, he leans in, "it makes it really hard to think about anything else," he murmurs, stopping only inches from your face. "Truth is, I don't want to be your friend."
Yuji can't stop looking at your lips, and god, it doesn't help, it's been the only thing he's been able to think about for weeks—kissing you, holding you… touching you. And when you don't pull away, looking like you want to kiss him just as bad, he closes the distance.
"I want more with you." His lips brush over yours, "I want you."
Your pulse races as his lips press against yours, slow, almost timid, as he nips at your bottom lip, desperately wanting to know how you taste. And when your tongue slips past his, he can't help but stifle a moan into your mouth, letting himself get lost in you entirely.
"I love you," he murmurs against your lips.
When a moment passes, and you don't say anything back, he starts to pull away.
"I'm sorry if that's too soon-"
Your lips crash against his, hands threading through his pink hair as you pull him right back down to you, kissing him deeper because god, you need him to know you want him just as much. And if he had given you a moment, you'd tell him that a million times over.
"I love you too, Yu." You laugh softly, pulling away from the kiss. "You didn't even give me the chance to say it back."
He pouts, "You took so long, I thought you didn't feel the same."
Now you're full on giggling, "it was hardly even a second."
"You're just gonna have to learn how to be patient," you tease further, too caught up in how cute he looks when he's all pouty.
"That's impossible when I'm in love with such a pretty girl." his sudden rasp catches you off guard as he nips at your bottom lip. "Makes me not wanna be patient."
"Yuji-" Your breath catches as he trails kisses along your neck, sucking at your sensitive skin.
"Shh, baby…" The sudden petname has your knees feeling weak, "I need this- you… please."
You only manage a nod as he continues nipping at your skin, sucking purple marks until everyone knows you're his.
"I want everyone to know you're only mine," he trails his kisses back to your lips, stopping to admire how beautiful you look when you're all flustered and breathless.
"Only yours," you say back, between breaths.
"Promise?" he asks, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
