Kindred Artists
Who: Kai and Kouki
Where: Kouki's house
When: When school would normally be taking place, shortly after Seiji's death.
What: Art, movies, and things.
Why: It was a promise.

After the school had abruptly closed, it hadn't taken long for Kai and Kouki to form plans to spend time with one another. They were, after all, good friends who enjoyed the company of one another. And this time, it was to be a meeting in Kouki's house. During an hour in which they would normally be sitting through afternoon classes, they met at the front door and proceeded inside to watch the DVD that Kai had brought with him.

Kouki wasn't one of those kids who had a TV in his room, but he was also fine with this fact. The family's TV was in the main room of the house, with both a couch and a dining table near enough to watch from. At the moment, he sat at the latter, with a sketchpad and pencil held in his hands. He wasn't drawing much, however- he was more focused on the action on the screen. He and Kai (who was sitting on the couch, behind him and out of his field of vision) were watching an animated movie. As the young hero traveled through strange lands, pursuing magic gemstones and getting into outlandish adventures, he intently stared at it, as if it were the most important thing in the world to him.

Kai avoided Kouki's intense stare, not because it was unpleasant - in fact, it was oddly thrilling to be the sole focus of someone's attention like this - but because it was making him feel too awkward to think.

"Really?" This was a surprise. Kai would have to remember to pore over the details of the end of break later.

What Kouki said next took him by surprise; his face noticeably softened, and he put a hand on Kouki's shoulder. "I would have taken you seriously, Yoshida-chan. I am now."

Kouki's earnest answer to the question of where this would go made Kai flush just slightly. His body hummed with a strange energy that felt like nothing else, and the hand on Kouki's shoulder trembled. "I-I...I'd like that, I think. If it went on."

He allowed himself a small smile at this. It was nice to be telling the whole truth for once.

The overwhelming excitement of the moment - the kiss, the confession, the realization that each others' feelings were mutual - spurred him to do something drastic then:

He leaned over and pressed a light, hesitant kiss to the corner of Kouki's mouth, then moved in and kissed him full-on, squeezing Kouki's shoulder gently.

Kai was smiling when he pulled away, soft and easy and genuine. "I would do this with you, if you, uh, want me, I mean. I'd be your..." he trailed off, feeling that the word "boyfriend" made him sound like a middle school girl and that "partner" was way too serious. "...like your kindred artist. Only better." This he accentuated by bringing the hand that was on Kouki's shoulder up to stroke his cheek.

"Y-you would? You... are?" This made Kouki's eyes widen in shock. Everything about him seemed to go loose, out of focus. Like he'd hit a critical error and wasn't responding. This lasted until Kai spoke again. Instead of saying a response, he expressed himself with a look. One that went directly into the other boy's eyes, sharp and direct as an arrow, carrying a message that no arrow could.

That was the right response. Everything is going well. You got me.

It looked like it was the first time that Kouki's feelings were even remotely apparent. What he had said a moment ago had stripped away the haze that normally obfuscated the motives and emotions behind his actions. Not yet an open book, but still easier to read than ever before.

When Kai kissed him, his eyes were the easiest to read. I'm so glad. This is good. I love you. Even his body language, for once, communicated this. I'm so glad. He wasn't just receiving the kiss, he was kissing Kai, too. This is good. He leaned in, to be closer to the boy. I love you. His face broke into the most genuine smile yet when they broke apart.

"I do want you, Kai! More than anything else. We'll be kindred... artistes! Yeah!" Kouki allowed Kai to stroke his face, but soon enough fell into another tight hug. "This is going to be the best, Kai-sama. The absolute best."

Kai was struck by Kouki's direct gaze, so much so that his mouth fell slightly ajar when those eyes connected with his. The intensity of it stirred something in his chest, and if his face hadn't been red before, it certainly was now. Flushed with happiness and delight, that is.

Seeing Kouki so open emotionally, and so excited, had a strange effect on Kai. It felt like he was getting drunk off of it, and he dived into that feeling. After he squeezed Kouki back, he stooped down and kissed him again and again on the mouth, cradeling the back of his head in his hands. He felt overwhelmed, delirious with Kouki's infectious affection and enthusiasm, and his own joy.

He wants me I love him I want him.

He broke away, finally, with an equally big smile on his face. "It already is the best. We'll make art projects and hang out and I'll take you shopping and to Okinawa and -"

Now he was just babbling, but it was a pleasant babble. Babble fueled by excitement and love and every other positive feeling Kai could name.
