"You know how to play the piano?"

"Yeah but only a bit..." A nervous silver-haired boy said under his breath. He'd decided to come visit him that day after school and bring donuts. Somehow the conversation shifted from glazed donuts to how Atsushi played the piano.

"Play a song." Ryuonsuke said blankly.

"I can't inside a hospital!"

"Oh. Perhaps." Ryunosuke shrugged. "How long have you been playing it?"

"Uhm..13 years now? I remember I started figure skating around that time as well.."

"Figure skating?"

"Ah, I do figure skating as well. I would've had a chance of making it into the Olympics but I refused."

"Why?"

"Meh, I was more interested in zoology."

"What about piano?"

"Same would go for that as well." Ryunosuke had this expression of pure surprise, it was hidden under his usual cold--yet relaxed look but it also showed. To Atsushi it was as clear as day how surprised he was. "Maybe I can show you something I know on the piano if you visit my place sometime. We have a huge piano in the living room." The raven haired one took that in, giving himself a moment to stare at the ceiling as he laid in his bed. His robe leaning off his shoulder slightly, he was too lazy to fix it. Those things are uncomfortable, he was practically dressed in rags which he was disturbingly familiar with. Atsushi adjusted in his chair, squeaking slightly, filling the air of the room with it's small echo.

"Do they not let you put on something more comfortable?" Atsushi finally asked pitifully.

"No..." There was a slight hum from the other in disagreement.

"Anything special you'd like me to bring next time?"

"...Waffles.." Ryunosuke answered shyly.

"Ah, those are pretty good. Krispy kreme hasn't been doing its magic lately....It disintegrates in your mouth you know..." Atsushi said worriedly.

"It does?"

"Yeah if you give it about a minute, it'll be sugar by then."

"Hmm."

"Hey Ryuu.." Atsushi muttered, leaning in closer, resting his head on the bed. "About yesterday..Are we dating now or something?" Atsushi's face had this small blush on it that was way too adorable.

"Do we really need a label?" Ryunosuke leaning over, his face hovering above the others, bangs tickling their cheeks. He had this small weak smile on. He'd been working on it, or, well...More so, learning it for a while now.

"Say...How did you come to like me? I just don't understand why?" Atsushi asked, his hand moving to the others' cheek, feeling the surface and smooth skin they had.

"I'm not me anymore, Atsushi. I'm... I'm me, me, now. I love you. You're passionate, smart, beautiful, and kind. You...You take me for who I am...Why do you love me?"

"Well..Now you have me flattered.."Atsushi curled his bangs with a smile on his face. "I love you so much, and I can't even explain this attraction." The boy said. He was welcomed by small gestures to lay next to Ryunosuke and gladly did, getting wrapped up in the others arms.

"Hey Jinko, Je t'aime à mourir." Atsushi's ears perked up.

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing," Ryunosuke smiled slightly.
