You could come with-- I live in a dorm, I don't have enough room for you and Kaoru.
[ Besides, there's no way Yuki won't try to fight another fashion designer in the building and Taichi's/the entire theater's budget probably isn't enough for one day for the Hitachiins. And he assumes they have other friends and obligations too. And they'd probably run into the same issue of being illegal aliens regardless of who went where and Mankai will get in trouble for hosting so many people without work visas and go bankrupt.
But not forget is something he wants to stick to. He wipes his eyes and takes the paper and writes it again on the inside of his arm before pocketing it, just in case he loses anything on his way back home. ]
When you get home, don't forget that I'm gonna try to call you at 8pm before bed every night either. And...
[ Maybe he shouldn't ask for more. He definitely should ask though right? Girls always want consent before anything according to the latest trends, Hikaru probably... ]
You could give me something to remember you by that no one else can.
[ There, just vague though that he's asking but not being obvious enough to get turned down outright. ]
[Hikaru is ready to tell Taichi it won't work but he quickly comes to the same conclusion. It isn't as if Hikaru wouldn't like to live with Taichi in theory but in reality, Hikaru knows it wouldn't work. Unfortunately and Hikaru hates that as well. Hates that this truly means goodbye.
But he's nodding along and smiling despite it all. The fact that Taichi wants to talk to him every day and if Hikaru's honest, imagining that feels nice. Talking to Taichi, telling him about his day, and hearing his. That makes him happy and maybe for just a little while, it's okay to pretend they can have that.
Taichi's request brings him out of his thoughts and it takes him longer than it should for him to realize what Taichi is asking for and...Hikaru has thought of it. When he thought about his feelings, he wondered if he could kiss Taichi because if you liked somebody then you could kiss them. Hikaru had learned that he could imagine it, he thought he could do it, and it had been on his mind more than enough times.
He licks his lips and looks at Taichi's, blushing. Taichi hadn't said he liked him too but...but...you didn't ask for a kiss if you didn't want one, right?! So Taichi did feel the same way? How long? Since when? What has Taichi thought about? There are so many questions and not enough time. Better to not think and just live in the moment, right?
Putting his hand on Taichi's cheek and taking a step closer, he's still too nervous to just lean in and do it.] You...sure?
[ Ah.. his heart is beating through his chest when Hikaru touches his cheek. What is going on? Honestly, Taichi's pretty sure he's dreaming right now. If there was one person most important to him here, it was Hikaru. Yet again, despite implying he wanted something (at least he managed not to laugh it off this time) he was getting what he wanted so easily he thought there's no way it's real.
He reaches across himself to pinch his arm, briefly checking to make sure he's awake. He swallows, visibly, and nods. He's obviously nervous, but not because it's Hikaru. He straightens himself, clearing his throat, and tries to be at least.. somewhat suave. He's doing his best. He grins and and reaches up to try to tug Hikaru's shirt by the collar toward him, but stops the second after he hooks his finger. He doesn't want to stretch the fabric, Hikaru definitely wouldn't like that. He takes his finger down. He doesn't know how to do this with a guy? (Not that he knows how to do this with a girl, but he has some idea from movies!!) ]
I like you and this is my first time, I don't want to mess this up! ..I know!
[ He grins, his cheeks rosy. He doesn't know what he's doing. So he decides to do what he and Hikaru do best and reaches for both of his hands to hold, then tries gently pulling him closer by the hands while standing on his toes for a kiss. That feels right. ]
[Hikaru has no idea what Taichi is even trying to do because he's just as clueless about how to kiss somebody as the other boy is. He doesn't think it makes much of a difference if it's a girl or not. But either way, all he can do is look down at him and laugh. Softly and full of affection because he really likes him. Aliens or not, whatever the reason, he just really likes him and does want to kiss him. Right now, that's all he needs.
It's always been nice to hold Taichi's hands. This had been what had started all of this, right? Hikaru trying to be a good friend and offer to moonlace with him by holding hands. Taichi rushing over and them having that sleepover. Even when Hikaru couldn't help him make chroma at all. But they had held hands through all that fabric and it still had been nice.
It's just as nice now as he entangles their fingers and begins to lean in. Maybe he should be more nervous about this and he does pause for only a second, making certain that Taichi isn't having any second thoughts. But when he doesn't see that, Hikaru decides not to even think anymore as he leans in. Kissing shouldn't be so hard and if it's both of their firsts then what do they even have to compare it to?
But before their lips can touch, there's some commotion going on that interrupts him. People shouting nearby and something else. He isn't happy about being interrupted and pulls away, snapping:] What the hell is going on?
[ Taichi, having found himself accidentally holding his breath as Hikaru finally leaned down to close the distance, accidentally lets out a sound very reminiscent of a puppy whine. But there's clearly something going on, so despite looking like a kicked puppy for three seconds, he goes over to the door to investigate.
And the door gets blown open while he's trying to peek through by someone rushing past and Taichi jumps back.
Someone's shouting come on hurry up! and grabs Taichi's wrist to take him with, with a yelp from Taichi. ]
