Music festivals were something Seishirou wasn’t fond of, and coming to one wasn’t something he’d do because (1) he still have a lot of games to finish; (2) there are a lot of people; (3) he wouldn’t have a place to sleep on. But all of those reasons were overthrown with the need to go when Reo came in busting through his front door, his friend was begging him to go with him. He would’ve said no if it weren’t for his purple haired friend saying that Isagi would be there. It’s not that he likes Isagi or anything, he’s just really fascinated with the boy. There’s something in the blue eyed boy that caught his attention the first time he laid his eyes on him. Reo would always tease the blond that he fell in love at first sight with Isagi, but he’d always deny that because he knew it wasn’t love, he didn’t experience any of the things he searched about. He got worried that Reo might be right so he searched for symptoms of it, but he’s not positive in any of them so it can’t be love at first sight. So he came to a conclusion that he’s just oddly fascinated with Isagi, and him wanting to see the boy was just because he’s curious about the smaller boy. Seishirou only agreed to go to the music festival when Reo said that he would give him any game he wants so that it wouldn’t be suspicious that he only agreed because of Isagi. It’s not like Reo didn’t know about his fascination with the boy yet, but the purple haired boy would tease him more if he agreed the moment he heard Isagi would be there. If Reo noticed that fact, he didn’t show it because his excitement went off the charts and dragged Seishirou out of his apartment to go shopping so that he’d look good in front of his crush. Reo told him it’s just a happy crush because Chigiri already has a boyfriend, and said boyfriend would be there with them too since Kunigami and Chigiri are inseparable ever since they became a couple. But it seemed that Reo didn’t care about that fact because he’s contented even if he and Chigiri could only be just friends. Seishirou envied him somehow, because how come Reo couldn’t be selfish even for once? If it had been him, he would’ve tried to do everything to make that person his, as long as they don’t have a boyfriend of course, that would’ve been wrong. Good thing Isagi is singl— “Nagi?” Isagi spoke beside him, and was looking at him with that blue eyes that’s so deep he could drown in them, and he would’ve done so if it weren’t for the noise all around them that’s keeping him grounded—grounded enough not to drown in that beautiful blue eyes of Isagi, but not grounded enough to stop him from daydreaming about the boy in front of him. “Yeah?” Seishirou replied, he didn’t know why Isagi would suddenly call his name like that, like he should say something but forgot what it is about. He rarely forgets about things when it comes to Isagi, like how the boy loves lobsters and kintsuba, how Isagi loves to hug his shrimp plush that his mom gave him when he was a kid, or when Isagi told him about wanting to become a pediatrician because he love kids. So what could he possibly forget about Isagi? Whatever it is, it must be something important to have the smaller boy look at him like that. “I said what’s your order?” Isagi covered his mouth as he chuckled at the confused look the blond has. Seishirou was dumbfounded for a second, thinking why Isagi wants to take his order but their surroundings made him realize that they’re on the side of the grounds where the booths are, and in front of them was a server waiting for him to make his order.
Oh
That’s right
How could he forget?
They’re supposed to buy food for all of them
Reo and the other two told them to buy food since they’re the ones near the booth, though he knew it’s probably just one of Reo’s schemes to get him to be closer to Isagi or to get closer to Chigiri despite Kunigami being in the same space as they are. Reo’s been doing that ever since he jumped to the conclusion that Seishirou fell in love with Isagi the moment he saw him, and the blond couldn’t even argue with what his friend wants—not the love at first sight part—because he wanted it too. If Reo plans to get him closer to Isagi, then he’ll just go along since it would benefit him anyway, being able to be around the smaller boy was something he always look forward to. “Red tea, and a slice of pizza for me,” Seishirou spoke calmly as if he hadn’t been caught by Isagi daydreaming earlier, it’s not like the other boy would know about it anyway. Daydreaming about the boy in front of him should be fine if it’s just from time to time as long as he doesn’t get caught doing it again. Isagi nodded before turning his focus back to the vendor to add what Seishirou said to their order, and the blond stared at the smaller boy for a minute before turning his head away so he could daydream about Isagi without getting caught for the second time. He’s not sure if Isagi got a hint that he’s daydreaming a few moments ago, he just hope that the blue eyed boy wasn’t that perceptive, because if he is, there no way that he’d live it down. Isagi would tell Reo about it and the two would tease him whenever they come across each other in the hallway. Reo and Isagi have been closer because they share the same braincell and they both like to tease the blond, but unlike Reo, Isagi’s more gentle on his teasings and would always try to do something to make up for the teasing he did. Sometimes it would be Isagi coming over so they could play some games at the taller boy’s place, and Isagi would always indulge him on his requests. The blue eyed boy even did a peace sign for Choki when he first went to play some games at Seishirou’s. The blond’s heart did a somersault when he saw what happened, because Isagi was the first one to do that without laughing at how silly it was. And it meant a lot to Seishirou, knowing that a friend of his would acknowledge Choki as his friend too and not just some other plant they see everyday. That’s probably why he’s so fascinated with Isagi, there’s just something about the boy that makes you want to try and make an effort to get to know him better. And that’s what he did. He never missed an opportunity to get closer to Isagi even if it’s through Reo’s schemes to get him to be with Isagi romantically. It’s not that he didn’t want to be with the blue eyed boy romantically, he just doesn’t like him that way, and he only sees Isagi as a friend, nothing more, nothing less. Okay, maybe his heart does somersaults every time he saw Isagi, but that could also be platonic right?
Yeah
It could be
“Hey,” Nagi was snapped from his reverie when the smaller boy pulled his head down a bit so they could meet eye to eye. He didn’t know what’s wrong or if he forgot to say something again, but one look on Isagi’s face tells him that that’s not the issue so he decided to wait if the smaller boy would continue. “Keep your eyes on me.” “What?” Seishirou looked at the smaller boy with disbelief written on his face like he couldn’t believe what he just heard. Well, to be fair, he really couldn’t believe if he heard Isagi said that or he’s just imagining things. It’s not everyday you hear your crush, I mean the boy you admired would say something like that.
Did he heard him right?
Did he just say—
“I said,” Isagi leaned in closer, his eyes were so intense that Seishirou would’ve stepped back if he could, but the smaller boy was holding him close through the collar of his shirt. He knew that there’s something really wrong with him, because why the fuck is his heart skipping a beat while Isagi’s holding him like he’ll beat him up if he disagree. “Keep your eyes on me, Nagi Seishirou.”
As if he could look anywhere else with how close they are
Seishirou wanted to roll his eyes at that thought but refrained from doing so in case Isagi would take it the wrong way so he kept silent instead, hoping that the smaller boy would clarify what he’s talking about. “Don’t look at anybody else. Just me.” Isagi continued when he deemed that Seishirou’s not in his right mind at that moment and is not in the state where he could reply because one look at the blond’s face and the blue eyed boy knew that the taller male was having a crisis inside his head so he took step back and patted the creases he made before ruffling Seishirou’s fluffy hair then looked away as if he didn’t made Seishirou flustered beyond recognition.
What
the
fuck
What the fuck just happened?
Seishirou wanted to ask Isagi to slap him, pinch him. Anything. Just so he could be sure that he wasn’t dreaming, because there’s no way Isagi flirted with him. If Isagi flirted with him, then he must be dreaming right? But who was he kidding? He’s not dreaming. All of those were real because he knew he woke himself up earlier that day. He even pricked himself on one of Choki’s thorns just so he could fully wake himself up and prepare for the day, because Reo would fuss if he wasn’t fully dressed yet by the time he arrived at his place. So yes, Isagi Yoichi flirted with him, Nagi Seishirou, while he’s very much awake. But what does that mean? Does Isagi like him? Does he like Isagi? Sure he likes Isagi as a friend, but how about more than that? Wait, should he be asking himself that already? It was just flirting! It could happen between friends! Right? Reo does that to him sometimes, but he knew it’s just the purple haired boy teasing him. With Isagi, he didn’t know if it’s just the smaller boy teasing him or he’s genuinely flirting with him, but whichever it is, he’ll take it as Isagi flirting with him and that’s a win for him because he doesn’t know how to flirt so Isagi would have to be the one doing it for them.
Wait
Why does he want Isagi to flirt with him?
Flirting as friends?
That kind of thing exists
Right?
Seishirou wanted to continue arguing with himself but he felt something being shoved on his hands so he looked down to see what it was. It’s just the food they ordered. For a second, he was puzzled as to why Isagi shoved it in his hands, but when he looked at the smaller boy, Isagi cocked a brow at him as if asking him to try and argue about who’ll be carrying the bags of food they ordered. Seishirou sighed in defeat before taking more of the bags from Isagi so the other boy wouldn’t have to carry anything on the way back. The feeling of carrying food bags was new to him because Reo would always carry it for him. Hell, his friend would even carry him on his back if he said that he’s tired from walking. Reo spoiled him too much so all of the things he’s experiencing with Isagi was new to him, but it feels nice to actually do it for once. Every time he hangout with Isagi, he always get new experiences and that’s part of why he wanted to get closer with the boy. But deep inside he knew that it’s not just that, there’s something more to it that he himself couldn’t tell what it is, it’s not like he’s an expert when it comes to emotion or anything, but he knew that he’s drawn to Isagi for some unfathomable reason. “Let’s go?” Seishirou gave a sharp nod at Isagi who smiled at him before patting his back then lead the way back to where Reo, Chigiri, and Kunigami are. He hoped that Reo didn’t do anything stupid while Kunigami is around, because even though the orange haired boy’s personality was like a Pomeranian's he could be scary as a lion when he wants to, and Seishirou sweared that he’d never try to get on Kunigami’s bad side. So he’ll take good care of Isa— Seishirou didnt get to finish the thought because he crash on Isagi’s back and if it weren’t for his fast reflex, both of them would’ve been on the ground drenched with their drinks. He was about to open his mouth to scold Isagi but the smaller boy turned to him and gave him a sheepish smile that killed all the words forming on his head, leaving it empty and full of Isagi at the same time. “Sorry,” Isagi spoke as he steadied himself, taking some of the bags Seishirou was holding, occasionally peeking on his shoulders, making the blond try to look at his shoulders too but he tried to stop the taller male, keyword: tried, from looking since he didn’t want them to invade their friends’ privacy. So he whispered on Seishirou’s ears when the blond’s head came near his so he’d be sure that the taller boy would hear him over the loud booming of music throughout the grounds. “Don’t look, they’ll see us.” “And?” Seishirou didn’t listen to Isagi, he was curious to see what the smaller boy was trying to hide, not that he could hide much with that tiny height of his, but the smaller boy could still cover much if he’s far away so he went closer to the boy to peek at his shoulders. “Oh.” Seishirou didn’t know what to say, all he knew is that he’s happy that Reo is happy. And he could tell that his friend is happy based on how he snuggle on Kunigami and Chigiri’s arms. He turned to look at Isagi but the boy was already looking at him with those blue eyes that could pierce deep into your soul. When the smaller boy seemed to register his gaze, he just shrugged before looking at their friends too. “Should we go somewhere else?” “Is the great Nagi Seishirou asking me out on a date?” Isagi’s voice was dripping with sarcasm as he faked a gasp, both hands covering his mouth as he looked at the taller boy with wide eyes of disbelief. Seishirou rolled his eyes but couldn’t stop a small smile from making its way through his face. Isagi looked cute doing that little act of his so he played along and replied, “Sure, a friendly date.” “Oh nyoo, I got friend zoned by the great Nagi Seishirou. How could this be.” Isagi feigned a look of despair, some of the passerby’s looked at them as the smaller boy went as far as kneeling in front of Seishirou while pretending to cry. The taller boy shook his head and bonked Isagi’s head with one of the bags he’s carrying, making the blue eyed boy stop with his act and look up at him. Isagi frowned at Seishirou but the taller boy knew it’s fake because of how the smaller boy’s shoulder and lips are shaking with repressed laughter. The blond shook his head at Isagi, a smile making it’s way to his face as he too try to repress his laugh so that they wouldn’t attract any more attention than necessary. The two of them laughed for a while before moving on to find a spot where they could watch the show, and it’s just their luck when they found an empty space near their friends but far enough so that they dont disturb them. It didn’t take long for the show to start, because as they were settling in on their spot, the first band that was due to perform already went up the stage and are introducing themselves. The two didn’t even got a chance to eat the food they bought because the people around them started standing up already, making the two of them follow their lead and stand up too. Seishirou made sure that their belongings were safe as he put them right in front of them, making sure that the food they weren’t carrying won’t get crushed in the process. “Remember, keep your eyes on me.” Isagi whispered on Seishirou’s ear when the taller boy stood next to him, he chuckled when he saw the blush dusting the blond’s cheeks before turning away to focus on the performers on the stage. He turned to look at Seishirou just to wink at the blond, smirking when he got the reaction he wanted when he thought about doing that little stunt. Seishirou was dumbfounded about what happened. He blinked twice and stared at the back of Isagi’s head, boring holes at the back of the smaller boy’s head, trying to process what just happened or if it even happened at all. Because he really couldn’t tell if it happened from how fast it was.
Did Isagi just winked and smirked at him when he blushed?
Has Isagi always been this flirty?
Or he just didn’t notice it before because he’s too focused on what Isagi does?
Isagi flirting with him sounds unbelievable
If anything, he expected it to be the other way around
Seishirou shook his head and tried to focus on what’s happening around him and went to stand beside the smaller boy, holding him by the waist, and he almost fainted right on the spot when Isagi snuggled on his arms. He didn’t know what’s happening anymore but all he knew is that the red tea he ordered earlier tastes good and the music of whatever band that’s playing sound good too. And the feeling of Isagi on his arms feels so amazing that he couldn’t find enough words to describe the feeling.
What the fuck are they?
Does he like Isagi now?
Does he like Isagi before?
Those are questions he doesn’t have an answer to, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to answer them anytime soon so he placed them far on the back of his mind to go back on them later. But for now, he’ll be enjoying this music festival to the fullest with Isagi by his arms. Seishirou didn’t know that music festivals could be so much fun, especially when you have someone by your side singing the songs you know as they play. Well, it was just Isagi singing most of the songs because he knew a lot while the blond just watch as the boy sings his heart out, admiring how Isagi’s face lit up whenever he guessed the song right from the first note of the song. He did what the blue eyed boy asked and kept his eyes on him throughout the whole thing, keeping his eyes glued on Isagi as song after song played, he knew some of the people are looking at them every now and then, but he didn’t care. There’s no way he won’t listen to what Isagi asked him to do when he could do it without any problem, he’s enjoying himself anyway. It’s like watching the stars at night, Isagi shines so bright on his arms as his eyes shine so bright while he sing, his face lighting up whenever the lights from the stage would hit them, and Seishirou couldn’t help but smile as he watch Isagi. He didn’t know what he looked like right now, but he probably looks like an idiot, smiling as he watch his friend sway on his arms as he sing. When Seishirou tried to take his eyes off the boy on his arms and listen to what’s playing, it was like the lyrics are making him see more and become more aware of Isagi, the way his eyes shine, the way his face lit up whenever its a song he knew, or when he would look at Seishirou from time to time and the blond’s breath was caught on his throat every time it happens. So he didn’t take his eyes off Isagi, though he would watch through the led screen every now and then but his eyes were always trained on the smaller boy. It’s like Isagi was a magnet and his eyes were the metals that couldn’t resist but be pulled by that magnetic force that is Isagi Yoichi. Seishirou didn't know who’s performing anymore, and he doesn’t know a lot of bands anyway but when the lyrics went to his ears, it felt like it’s talking to him, telling him things, asking him things that he doesn’t know the answer to, but somehow he knew what it meant, what it’s all pointing to.
Your eyes say everything without a single word
His heart skipped a beat when Isagi turned to look at him, he made sure to get a good look at that blue eyes that seemed to speak a thousand words a second and he almost staggered backwards when his mind got what those blue eyes were telling him.
‘Cause there’s something in the way you look at me
Has Isagi looked at him like that before? Has it always been like that? Seishirou wanted to ask a lot of questions but each and every one of them was shot down when Isagi smiled the most gentle smile the blond has ever seen on the blue eyed boy’s face, he couldn’t breathe anymore, it’s like there’s something inside him that wanted to come out and be with Isagi.
It’s as if my heart knows you're the missing piece
He knew what it was, he saw what it was. Everything was written on Isagi’s eyes, the unsaid words and confessions that the boy tried so hard to hide, he finally saw it. And there’s something inside him that’s jumping with joy. He didn’t want to believe what it was, but he knew it, he suspected it already. After all, he only has eyes for Isagi. It would be weird if he hasn’t fallen in love with him yet. So here he is, standing with a big crowd around him, only realizing that he likes loves Isagi Yoichi.
You make me believe that there’s nothing in this world I can’t be
Everything came rushing back to him, all their conversations, all their interactions, how Isagi would always cheer him when he’s uncertain about things. Or when Isagi would just watch him play and stare at him with those same eyes he saw earlier. Those eyes full of adoration and love for him. How Isagi would always pat his head and tell him that he could do it even though he himself knew he couldn’t, but he would be surprised that he could actually do it. How could he not notice it before? Oh right, he was busy denying he’s in love with Isagi.
I never know what you see
He didn’t know what Isagi could see with those eyes of his, but he hoped that whatever it is he’s seeing, it’s a good thing or his good parts or whatever. He wanted to impress Isagi every single time they meet, he wanted to win the boy’s favor, he didn’t know why he’s always like that. But now he finally has answers to it.
If I could freeze a moment in my mind
“You’ve kept your eyes on me.” Isagi finally spoke after what felt like an eternity of them just gazing at each other’s eyes. “Yeah.” Seishirou wanted to take those words back and swallow it because it sounds so lame but before he could say something cooler, he heard a chuckle before he felt himself being pulled forward.
It’d be the second that you touch your lips with mine
Seishirou’s breath was caught on the back of his throat when he felt a pair of soft lips crashing into his. His eyes automatically closing as he savored their little kiss, it was a chaste kiss, something innocent yet filled with love. He was about to pull back when Isagi slotted his arms on the nape of his neck, pulling him in a deeper kiss, their lips moving in tune with the beat of the song, slow and sweet, like long lost souls finally finding their way back home, right on each other’s arms. Was this how it feels to be in love? If it is, then he wants to keep being in love with Isagi until the end of time
