Summary: Hikaru tells Yabu to look at the pretty surrounding him.
As the warm after-summer sun shined trough the trees, Hikaru laid his head and in grass and closed his eyes. The sweet scent of late blooming flowers and freshly moved grass surrounded him, tickling his nose and making him extra aware of his surroundings.
He pulled up his arms, resting them underneath his head and giving him a certain form of comfort. He smiled as he concluded this was probably the most beautiful day of the year.
Suddenly, there was a shadowing hovering over him and when he lazily opened one eye to check it out, Hikaru saw stars. He opened the second eye and saw these stars were inside Yabu Kouta's eyes.
The older man looked at the younger curiously, blinking one or two times, as his lips formed a perfect 'o'. "What're you doing?"
The smaller male didn't answer, instead he patted onto the empty place next to him. What he was doing couldn't be described in mere words, it was a feeling people had to experience by themselves.
The stars disappeared when the dark-haired male smiled and his eyes formed into two perfect little rainbows, giving color to his face.
"Just lay down and close your eyes," mumbled Hikaru, who already had closed his own again.
There was a laughter as the older man dropped his lanky body next to his friend's and did as he was instructed. Secretly the younger of two opened one eye again, to steel a glance from the peaceful features of the other. His closed eyes, the ghostly smile that lingered on his thin lips and even the outspoken lines of his clearly visible jaw line.
His head quickly snapped back it its original position when he saw Kouta’s eyelid shiver, knowing the other’s fine formed eyes would flutter open again and the stars would return to his own vision.
He closed his eyes again, pushing his eyelids together so tight he could see the fireworks on their back. He felt how the body next to him changed its position and when he finally allowed himself to look, he saw the older male had turned onto his side. Instead of looking at the sky, the trees or even the grass, his eyes were fixed on Hikaru and the younger male felt a red blush creeping up his cheeks. "I thought I told you, you have to close your eyes Kou."
Slowly, Yabu's lips curled into a cheeky grin. "Why? So you can continue looking at me again? Why do I have to miss out on all the pretty?"
Slightly taken aback the brown haired male gasped for air, searching in the back of his mind for a witty comeback but unable to find one. He bit the inner side of his cheek as he mumbled, "then do so." With his arm he made a extensive gesture to their surroundings.
A laughter erupted from the as he said up and looked down at his younger friend. "Okay."
Glad for the awkward moment to be over the other closed his eyes again, feeling his thoughts drifting away again. However, this time the scent of late blooming flowers and freshly mowed grass couldn't clear his mind anymore. Instead there was a lingering scent of Yabu's favorite shampoo, some deodorant and a smell the other couldn't clearly disguise but was probably just the aroma of the 20-year old's body.
The younger of two yawned and lazily opened one eye to check what the other was doing exactly while sitting beside him. To his own surprise, instead of looking at his surroundings, the black haired male next to him was staring at Hikaru. Even when the other opened his eyes, big and wide, Yabu didn't seem to flinch and instead just smiled, tilting his head a bit.
"Wha-- What are you doing?" the younger finally managed to say.
Yabu merely laughed, his hand reaching out and getting a hold of Hikaru's. As their fingers entangled and the older man's thumb softly rubbed over the younger's smooth skin, he answered.
"Looking at the pretty around me."
