Chapter Text
“Are you sure you don't want me to drive you home?”
“It's all of two blocks, Shun. I'll be fine.”
“It's later than you normally go back, though. Let me at least walk with you.”
“No, no, I promise, it'll be fine. You're so overprotective.”
The boy laughed, though, pushing the other gently, teasingly. The other didn't look particularly convinced.
“Call me when you get there. So I know you made it.”
“Yes, mother.”
The shorter of the pair smiled, his teeth gleaming in the light streaming out of the other's door way. He leaned up to give the other a gentle kiss, a kiss that lingered for perhaps a little too long as the other's hands slid around his waist briefly.
But then he was breaking away, smiling with a small laugh.
“I'll see you tomorrow,” he said. “Love you, Shun.”
“Love you, Yuto.”
Another dazzling smile that glimmered in the light, and then he was turning around and disappearing, his black sweater vanishing into the darkness of a midnight city. The other stood at the door for a little while longer, staring out into the darkness as though he could watch him all the way back home.
Finally, the silhouette turned back into the house, to wait for him to call when he got home.
To wait for a call that was never coming.
