KISE DENIES LOVE AFFAIR WITH RIKO! CHILDHOOD ROMANCE REKINDLED! KISE WON’T SAY HE’S IN LOVE OLD FRIENDS AND LOVERS! KISE-AIDA POWER COUPLE? FROM THE SCHOOLYARD TO THE BIG STAGE
“Stop it, Dai-chan,” says Satsuki, forcibly closing his laptop before he can look at any more headlines or click on any more articles to read. “You know it’s just bullshit.”
Daiki rubs his forehead and exhales in a hiss, almost like one of those breathing exercises (speaking of bullshit) his trainers always tell him to do. So what if it is? Ryouta had stammered something out to the press; he and Riko were never even that close; Ryouta never talks to the paparazzi so if he had in regards to this there must be something there. Not that Daiki can blame Ryouta for that, for wanting someone like Riko, someone he can be with in the open, but who also has the drive and passion and talent that Ryouta says he likes the most about Daiki.
“It was bound to happen,” Daiki says.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” says Satsuki. “Call him.”
“I still got pride,” says Daiki, even though he kind of doesn’t, even though his fingers are itching to scrape across the front of his phone in the unlock sequence, dial Ryouta’s number without looking, practically beg for reassurance.
Satsuki sighs. “You’re lucky I love you two and I’m not going to let your stupidity get in the way. Again.”
(It would be awfully hard for Satsuki to stop everything that’s been in the way so far, but Daiki appreciates the sentiment anyway; he grunts a sort of thanks as she leaves the room, and closes Firefox when he reopens his laptop.)
Ryouta calls that afternoon, sounding weary and kind of miserable, and the worst part of Daiki feels a little bit vindicated that he’s not the only one who's upset. The better parts of him win out; they hate that shit and soon they’re both apologizing except not for the bigger things, that they’re too insecure to do this as it is, that they don’t want to come out but aren’t sure of each other in this darkness. That’s not going to change anytime soon, in any form, but Daiki doesn’t want to lose Ryouta. Even if it’s like this, stumbling over each other and over this, it’s better than not having each other, better than not loving each other at all.
