Part 3

Shinya sighed and dropped his head to his the headrest of the couch 
he was sitting on, turning it to the side and catching Die in his 
gaze. //Smoking idiot...// he watched as Die finished a cigarette 
and flicked the butt over the railng before leaning over it. //And a 
litterer too.// Toshiya walked up to Die and must've said something 
funny because they both broke out into wide smiles. Shinya sighed, 
watching them through the window until Die's eyes locked with his 
own. Shinay frowned and got up, walking away.

Five minutes later, the rest of the band came in and they had a 
smooth practice, Die glancing back every so often to catch sight of 
Shinya.

At the end of practice, Shinay left without a word. Die followed 
him, Shinya pretending not to notice as he walked to the grocery 
store. He took out a cart and gave it to Die. "If you're gonna 
follow me, be useful."

Die nodded and pushed the cart for Shinya, watching as the drummer 
went up and down the aisles, picking up a few items here and there. 
As they stood in line, Shinay leaned against the cart and faced away 
from Die. Die sighed. "Are you even going to pay attention to me?"

"I didn't ask you to come."

"But..." he let it drop, not knowing of any way to get Shinay to pay 
attention to him.

When everything was bagged and paid for, Shinya had Die carry all the 
bags while they walked to the butcher shop. Die still couldn't get 
Shinay to pay attention to him and he made the guitarist stay outside 
while he got his meat.

Shinya let Die coem home with him so that he could still use him to 
transfer the groceries, but frowned as Die sat on his couch after 
putting the bags on the table. "What are you doing?" Shinya asked.

Die stretched. "I'm tired from helping... I'm gonna take a nap."

Shinya's eyes went wide and he rushed in front of Die, grabbing his 
arms and pulling. "No! Go home!" He strained to pull up Die, only 
to have Die pull him against himself. Shinya gasped, face to face 
with Die, so close he could feel Die's breath. Shinya's heart sped 
up as Die simply sat there, eyes locked with his own.

Die slowly moved forward, gathering his courage and kissing the 
drummer. Shinya gasped, pulling back and gaping at Die. He felt the 
need to slap the guitarist, but as he rose his hand, he kept it 
there, unsure. When Die was certain Shinya wouldn't hit him, he 
reached up and took Shinya's raised hand into his own, lacing their 
fingers.

Shinya let Die bring him onto the couch, Die pressing him to lay 
against the arm. Die draped his own body over the frightened 
drummer. "Shinya..." he moved his thumb up and down the side of 
Shinya's hand while his other hand lightly swept Shinya's hair out of 
his face.

Die's soft movements helped to relax Shinya and the drummer slowly 
closed his eyes, focusing on the fluttering in his chest. He 
slightly opened his mouth and let out a light sigh.

"Shinya?" Die whispered.

"Hai...?" Shinya's relaxed voice breathed.

"I.. I"m going to kiss you again.. okay?"

Shinya's heart sped up again. //He... he's asking permission?// 
Shinay felt Die's hand move his still interlaced hand to the 
guitarist's lips, kissing his hand. Shinya's eyes opened slowly, 
looking at Die as the guitarist slowly lowered their hands.

"...okay?" Die asked again, and Shinya slowly nodded, his eyelids 
dropping as Die's lips did, slightly lifting up as Die's lips touched 
on his. Die slowly kissed Shinya, firmly holding the drummer's 
hand. Shinya kissed back, whimpering from confusion.

When Die pulled back, he and Shinya locked gazes. Shinya licked his 
lips and tried to get his body to feel normal again. "D... Die..." 
he reached his free hand up to touch his lips, feeling a tingling on 
them still. "Why?"

Die smiled and began to stroke Shinya's hair again. "Because... 
Shinya... I love you."

Shinya's breath caught in his throat. "Wha..?" he looked seriously 
to Die's face, studying the soft eyes and the sincere smile. "Die?"

"I love you, Shinya, I love you."

Shinya drew a blank in his mind, trying to think of what to 
say. "Die..." he whispered, "how long?"

Die shook his head. "I don't know.. but.. but.. Shinya.. I wnat 
you. I want to be with you."

"Die..."

Die lifted Shinya's hand again, brushing his lips on the drumer's 
knuckles. "Will you... will you let me be your... boyfriend?"

Shinya sat up, sliding his body out from under Die's, but kept his 
hand linked with Die's. "My.. my boyfriend?"

Die nodded. "Will you let me be yours?"

Shinya sat still, listening to his breath heavy in his ears, mind not 
registering. Before he knew it, he ws nodding and Die hugged him 
tightly.
