Chapter Text
The soft crunch of branches under foot, hushed laughs and spots of moonlight peaking through the thick trees, filled heizous senses. He carried a picnic basket, Trailing behind the rest of the group. Kazuha and Kunikuzushi stayed behind with him, ayaka, ayato, and tomo ran ahead.
“Why exactly did we plan this..?”
Kuni asked stretching his arms over his head, showing zero interest in this, simply being dragged along. His silk shirt and shorts clung to his body, admittedly Heizou had complicated feelings toward the boy but he didn’t say anything, he didn’t know if Kuni even liked men, Nevermind him.
Kazuha quietly read a book, pushing his glasses up, he spoke in a soft voice.
“You didn’t have to join us..”
Kuni ignored him, refusing to say that he just didn’t want to be lonely, he liked kazuha and heizou more then the others, he didn’t think to much into it, they were just friends.. right..?
“Hurrry up you three!”
Ayato yelled down the hill, Heizou and Kazuha were the only two not adorned in expensive clothes, though Kuni loved gifting expensive things to the two. Not because he liked flaunting his funds but because it was the only way he could properly express emotions.
Tomo was technically royalty, he didn’t like it though, having to stick to his parent’s restrictions was hard. His parents didnt like Heizou or kazuha because they’re parents had no power. Kazuha didnt like introducing his parents to anyone so nobody even knows them, except Heizou and Kuni.
Heizou’s parents were relatively laid back, they didn’t care what he did as long as he was doing good in school. Ayato and Ayaka’s parents were the best, though they rarely left the kamistato estate.
Kunis parents were, complicated, they weren’t mean but they didn’t pay much of any attention to him. It was expected and he brushed it off, his mother was the electro archon and yae was the head of narukami shrine, it was expected that they were too busy to spend time with him.
Heizou set the picnic basket down on the blanket Kuni had brought and laid out, Heizou pulled out containers of ramen and various snacks, each marked with an initial. He grabbed out his own, just plain ramen, he liked extra egg and some lavender melon in his, Kuni and kazuha thought he was weird for it.
“You should try mine, i swear its good!”
Heizou held out his chopsticks, noodles of various lengths wrapped around them.
“Keep that away from me”
Kuni scowled as he held Sakura Shrimp Crackers, it seemed to be the only thing he really ever ate. Kazuha reached over onto Kuni’s plate stealing one of them, he didn’t care to look at Kuni’s dumbfounded face, too lost in his book.
“Hey! I brought you the dango! Dont eat my food!”
Kazuha snickered to himself, pushing his glasses up. Tomo and ayaka were lost in a conversation, something about how pretty chinju forest was at night. Ayato sat quietly eating his food, who knows what he was thinking about. Kazuha set his book down, standing up.
“Hey uh, Kuni and Zou can you two follow me?”
Heizou looked up from his ramen, kazuha’s red eyes glimmered in the moonlight.
“Uh-uh sure..”
Heizou stood up dragging Kuni with him, Kuni was often treated like this, not that he was complaining. After all it meant he got to be included. Kazuha led the two boys farther into the forest and behind a rather large tree.
“Why’d you bring us over here..?”
“Well, I, Uh had a question..”
His voice was quiet, he stared down at his feet, playing with the grass gently. Kazuha stepped closer to Heizou, now inches from his face. Instinctively heizou leaned back.
“Kuni.. can you uh go back to the group for a minute?”
Kuni didn’t respond simply waving and walking away, the faint splash of water and an ‘ugh’ made Heizou laugh. Assuming kuni had stepped into the stream by accident, it was darkout so he didn’t blame him.
“Can, Can I kiss you..?”
The question pulled heizou from his thoughts faster then lighting can hit the ground, it put him in a daze for a minute. He hesitated, stumbling over his words when he tried to speak, he nodded his head giving up on words.
Kazuha’s warm lips met Heizou’s, slowly he melted into the kiss, kazuha pulled away. His face bright red, Heizou didn’t waste a second, going in for another kiss. Kazuha’s tongue made its way into Heizou’s mouth, tasting every possible inch. The heat in his stomach grew, he pulled away from the kiss, though missing the sensation of kazuha’s tongue.
“I’m sorry,i didn’t make you uncomfortable did I..?”
“no, no not at all.. I liked it..”
Kunis face contorted into sadness, we didn’t go back to the group, instead standing behind a tree. He was sad, and angry. He wanted Heizou, only him. Kuni turned away, tears pricked at his eyes, he blinked them back, wiping the few strays off his cheeks.
He sat down, leaning against the base of the tree. Picking through the flowers, although most bulbs of flowers would be closed at this hour chinju forest’s flowers never closed. He picked a few making a flower crown out of them, he wanted to put it on Heizou, he thought the white flowers would complement his deep red hair colour.
