Hien is quiet. He meant that he looks like the copy paste of anyone out there. Blank face and short black hair is a staple. He's not even as tall as he wants to be. He thinks there's nothing unique about his appearance.
Despite that, Haiga says what he says and it almost makes Hien feel special.
[ some small part of him will always be a little nervous about people treating them differently if they’re this obvious in public, but he can’t find that he minds too much right now - or at all - when hien’s so cool and straightforward about his actions. he doesn’t even have a chance to do much more than touch his cheek and blush from the phantom heat, stumbling after hien. ]
Oh man, I give up, can we please just get to our room ASAP?
[ they’re almost there anyway. haiga will absolutely be rushing them the last couple of meters, overtaking hien if he has to. ]
[ haiga also has his key - in theory. did he bring it? the heat from his cheeks and his ears are making it hard for his brain to remember. is he gonna say no to a chance at crowding hien impatiently into the room once he opens the door? fuck no.
and once they’re in enough to swing it shut and enclose themselves in the comfort of their space - his and hien’s - he brings their hands (his and hien’s - haiga finally understands how his clingy ex feels and sends her a mental apology) to his chest so hien can feel how loud his heart is. he’s not embarrassed. he’s excited. ]
This is not out of the blue. I’m asking - can I?
[ is he patient enough to wait? he should be, but he’s not. maybe this is because he likes hien too much and this is something he should work on - but after he leans down to kiss his boyfriend (!!), sealing their lips together properly this time. ]
[ Hien can certainly feel how much Haiga's heart is beating and he's about to respond to his question, but his answer is cut off by a kiss. Oh.
Well.
Okay.
Hien briefly returns the kiss and parts their lips, but a little on guard since Haiga seems to be very excited. It's not out of self-defense, but a possibility of there being an abrupt second kiss. ]
[ even as he says that - and means it in the way he earnestly means all his apologies - the intense way he stares at hien lacks any hint of regret. it’s really hard to regret kissing the guy you like, after all.
there are elements to this that he’s trying hard not to fixate on (kissing in their room) (kissing) (in their room!!) (whoa that’s kind of intense actually and a little…) (kissing) … too much… ]
[ though his surprised yelp comes out slightly muffled. he’s not gonna stop hien, but he doesn’t know where to put his hands, so they settle loosely somewhere on hien’s forearms. ]
Technically I did wait months before I kissed you the first time. And now it’s because - I like you a lot and I’m just happy being near you. You make me really… really happy…
[ but overall haiga is more driven by his emotions than his roommate it seems. ]
I think a routine would help so I don’t overthink and attack you with kisses.
[ One more duckface smoosh and he lets go of Haiga's cheeks. He really waited this long for this guy. It's still difficult for Hien to see why someone would do that for him, so passionately. ]
[ he doesn’t understand the duckfaces, but he likes it because it’s hien. ]
There’s so many things though. [ like! birthday gifts! ] Not in a bad way or anything. It’s kinda nice to think about this stuff, too. If you’ll like this or that and what you think about x or y… If you’ll eventually like me as much as I like you.
[ his hands slide up to keep hien’s at his cheeks. no duckface but it is nice. ]
Yeah, I know.
[ with a little smile.
and he does, he knows hien will answer. it’s not really about that. but he thinks the gap in understanding is from their different levels of ‘like.’ maybe, hopefully, one day hien will miss him so much and be so happy to see him that he’ll feel the need to kiss him or explode. ]

Almost, because— ]
Just call me if you need to find me that bad.
[ He quietly huffs. Baka... ]

Maybe a 20. It keeps going up.
[ i keep liking you more. ]
Um… Let’s head back in before I do something stupid.
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 02:12 am (UTC)[ lol
Hien leads the way back anyway, pulling away from the hug but holding Haiga's hand. ]
no subject
Date: 2026-04-05 04:07 pm (UTC)Well, obviously I want to.
[ let him set record re: his gay feelings straight. make no mistake.
wait one more thing: ]
But - not out of the blue. That was kinda - look, I wasn’t thinking. I should have asked.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-05 04:59 pm (UTC)[ Hien wouldn't say he's dense, but sometimes he can't fathom it happening. It's fine. He knows what kind of response he'll get if he tells Haiga. ]
no subject
Date: 2026-04-05 05:13 pm (UTC)[ in the moment, logic had no chance against what he really, really, really had been wanting for weeks (if not months) now. ]
I mean - if I had asked to kiss you, there’s not really a lot of ways to interpret that, right?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-05 05:15 pm (UTC)[ Hien pulls Haiga along and gives him a quick peck on the cheek. He resumes walking while dragging Haiga along right after. ]
It's not so bad.

Date: 2026-04-05 06:27 pm (UTC)[ So that Haiga can be embarrassed in peace? Sure. Hien looks at him being overtaken and goes to catch up with the key in hand. ]
Don't forget to unlock the door. We have to do that first.
[ Just so he knows. ]

I’ll practice…
[ asking and some mental training. ]
But you kissed me back.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-07 12:30 pm (UTC)Look... Yuki. You don't have to ask to kiss me, but your control can use some work.
[ boy, your restraint... ]
Me kissing you back has nothing to do with your lack of self-discipline.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-09 06:51 am (UTC)Okay, I don’t have to ask…
[ tbh even if he had sighed haiga’s name, that would have made his heart skip a beat. guy with a big crush, y’know. ]
But how much self-discipline do you want?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-10 10:53 am (UTC)[ He sighs and puts his hands on Haiga's cheeks.
Then he squishes them. Duckface. ]

Did you like holding my hand?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:14 pm (UTC)It seems to be what Haiga wants, so Hien keeps them there. Thinking about whether holding his hand was nice or not doesn't even take a second. ]
Yeah.
[ But he used to hold his hand regardless anyway. ]
Your hands are warm. It was nice.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:30 pm (UTC)Yours are warm, too. [ warmer than haiga’s, he thinks. ] So this is nice. Steal your hands back at anytime.
Anyway, um, routine… Can we make it a point to always kiss good morning, good night, and goodbye?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:44 pm (UTC)[ He doesn't take his hands back, because. Well. Haiga's cheeks are warm too. It's nice, since Hien lacks better words to mention. ]
Are you okay with some being public?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 02:05 pm (UTC)Yeah, I think so. I don’t want anyone to treat us differently, but I’m also not ashamed or anything.
