i'll be the one

Hikaru went too far, and this was his punishment. He should have stomped his feelings out and he never should have tried to give Mortis a kiss on the cheek. He wasn’t Hanako, and it hadn’t been the innocent gesture Mortis gave to his family. Kaiyo just didn’t know what he was thinking. The winged heir revealed his gaze and Hikaru looked up sheepishly as he spoke.

He spoke much of what Hikaru felt, he didn’t want to den alone. Hikaru wanted to be here, and he could hardly comprehend what else was going on. The young koi would gladly smash down the errant feelings if he could remain here. With his friend.

”We’ll never be just friends, Mort.” He started, feeling a bit of relief as he stomped on any lingering emotions. ”Because we’re best friends.” And then he couldn’t help the grin that appeared on his features. He didn’t know if it was a mix of relief and stress mixed but the expression felt good and he meant it. ”I don’t want to go anywhere either.”
