As You Are

Summary:

Miyuki Kazuya has worked hard to get to where he is.

All it takes is one picture, then questions are being asked and decisions are having to be made.
It's not easy to know the right answer when so many eyes are on you.

"Even when you were driving me crazy, you were still always unapologetically you. So tell me, when did you start apologising?"

Notes:

I've been talking about and working on this for about a month now, but here, finally, is my new baby.
Well, the start of it anyway!

Please enjoy this prologue to begin with, chapter 1 is very soon to follow...!

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

-~- Prologue -~-

It shouldn’t have been a big deal.

“Uh… Miyuki?”

“What is it?” Miyuki briefly glanced up from his book, only half paying attention to his friend.

But then he caught the look on Kuramochi’s face.

Usually, for Kuramochi to look that serious, it had to be something important.

But it really shouldn’t have been a big deal.

Kuramochi looked up at Miyuki, hesitantly. There was an undercurrent of anger in his gaze.
But most of all, worry.
He pushed Miyuki’s legs off of his lap, where Miyuki had made himself comfortable, as usual.
Then Kuramochi moved closer, holding up his phone.
Showing a picture of Miyuki and his boyfriend, Sawamura.
Taken outside, Miyuki thought perhaps it was even just last weekend.
Actually, looking at their clothes, he was pretty certain it was.
Was it outside the restaurant they’d been too? Yes, Miyuki could see it in the background.
But of course, the most noticeable thing was Miyuki and Sawamura themselves.

Holding hands, naturally.
And Miyuki leaning down to kiss Sawamura.
Miyuki remembered it, even though it had been such a quick, passing kiss.
They’d both blushed pink. How did they always blush at such simple kisses?

Miyuki laughed. “How did you get that? Were you out last week too?”

Kuramochi frowned. “Miyuki… This is online. I didn’t take it.”

Now it was Miyuki’s turn to frown, not getting it. “What? Why would it be-“

“Miyuki.” Kuramochi said, very seriously. “I think you’ve been outed.”
Miyuki blinked, slowly, trying to get a grasp on the situation.

It shouldn’t have been a big deal.
It should have just been another, quiet, private moment of happiness for him and his boyfriend.

In truth, Miyuki didn’t really take it as seriously as he should have done.
He had no idea what this was going to mean.
