"I'm going to take a bath," Usagi said before he started walking towards the door.
"Wait Usagi, I..." Misaki's words failed him as Usagi looked back at him.
'Why can't I get these stupid words out!' He thought in frustration, tears filling up at the corners of his green eyes as he looked down at the floor of Usagi's office.
Usagi looked slightly shocked at the sudden tears.
"Misaki..." he said lowly as he raised his hands towards the younger male... but then slowly pulled them away before he could touch him, looking away with a sad expression.
"Stop doing that!" Snapped Misaki, the tears falling down his face.
Usagi surprised at the sudden outburst, turned his head to face Misaki as the other glared slightly at the author with trembling lips that he wanted to kiss.
"I know that you might be insecure about the fact that I don't say the words you're looking for but stop doing that!" He yelled.
Misaki gripped at his shirt, "I know that it frustrates you and causes you trouble which is the last thing I ever want to do but it's not so easy for me to just say those things without a second thought," he said in almost a whisper.
"I have these feelings I don't know what to do with... I get all these feelings that swirl around and that I can't make sense of and it's driving me crazy... but I know that I do care for you and I don't want to make trouble for you..." he trailed off as he slumped to the floor.
Misaki sat there for a moment wiping away his tears as Usagi stared down at him in shock at the sudden expression of feelings. Misaki looked up at Usagi as he still processed it then Usagi smiled down at him which made Misaki a little shocked.
Usagi walked towards him then crouched in front of him and said,"Thank you. I appreciate it."
'He looks like his usual self,' Misaki thought in relief as he blushed.
"Um...I," He stuttered when usage offered his hand with a bandaged finger to help him up which Misaki grabbed.
"With that said," as he pulled the smaller man up,"I fully understand how you feel." then proceeded to throw him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
"H-Hey lemme down! Let me down!" Misaki protested with flushed cheeks as Usagi walked through the door.
"I haven't said anything yet, you know!" He reminded him as he was upside down.
"You've said plenty," Usagi replied cheerfully as he walks.
"But you haven't said anything!" Misaki retaliated as he wriggled on Usagi's shoulder trying to escape the grip.
"Then you say it first," Usagi replies as he stops and carefully sets Misaki on the hallway floor, keeping him in place but not trapped as he pinned his hand next to Misaki's head.
Misaki keeps his head down, not looking Usagi in the eye as the older man gazes at him then leans in. Misaki's eyes land on Usagi's bandaged finger that became unwrapped and bleeding once more.
"Hey!" Usagi follows his line of sight and notices it.
"Oh it's fine."
"No, it's not. It's bleeding again. I'll rewrap it so let me see," he demands worried.
Usagi smirks and brings his finger up to Misaki's face right up to his lips which made him look at it uncertainly.
"Lick it," he says without missing a beat.
'It irks me to know that this idiot will find out...' Misaki thinks as he slowly parts his lips,'...that he makes my heart race like this,' and closes his eyes as he takes the fingertip into his mouth.
"Misaki look me in the eyes," Usagi says in a low tone that makes his blush deepen. But Misaki doesn't open them.
Usagi smiles, leans closer and whispers as if a secret,"Misaki, I love you."
Which makes Misaki finally open his eyes and think desperately, 'Don't whisper to me like that,' Usagi pulls his finger out of his mouth and used the hand to caress his face, 'Don't look at me from so close-up.'
Then Usagi tilts his face up slightly to meet his for a soft, sweet kiss that makes his heart flutter as they slide against the wall to the floor.
Misaki lays beneath Usagi with fingers intertwined as the man whispers "I love you" again in his ear.
"Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it better," Misaki says, his flustered face turned away from Usagi.
"No," He says as he lightly bites Misaki's ear causing his eyes to widen,"The more I say it, the deeper it becomes," he looks at Misaki's face that is filling up with tears once again and pulls him and himself to sit up against the wall with Misaki in Usagi's lap. Misaki facing away and being held in the other man's arms still teary and collecting his thoughts.
'This is what pisses me off about Usagi... There he is all composed when I'm not makes me feel like he can see right through me...'
"I love you," Usagi says once again from behind Misaki then reaches for the younger's belt and pushes his hand into his pants.
'He seriously pisses me off,' Misaki thinks before he lets out a quiet moan.
