~What Makes You Beautiful~

Chapter Four - Shot By Cupid

Akito's POV:
.
I woke up in bed, laying down.
I can still feel the streams of tears that used to be on my face.
I check my phone.

A message from Toya

Toya
Why weren't you at school today?
I was really worried about you..

Me
I wasn't feeling well today. That's all.

Toya
I know that's not the reason. How about I come over later tonight? It's Friday anyways.

Akito
Sure I don't mind

Toya
I'll come at 4:35 okay?
read at 3:24 PM

Then that conversation ended just like that.
Then I realized
holy shit Toya's coming to my fucking house
I was struggling to get ready, as I was still in my pajamas.

Toya's POV:

I put down my phone as a said bye to An.
"Bye An! I'll see you at practice tomorrow!"
I let out a sigh.
I was still really concerned about Akito.
I couldn't focus on anything today, glad it's a Friday.

3:35 PM - Aoyagi's House

I wasn't too worried about my father finding out. I've slept over at other's houses before.
I take off my uniform and put some causal clothes on—my usual.
I noticed something near my ear.
"Erm..how come I never noticed this scar on my face" I whined, I was enraged at myself.
Don't worry, I thought, I can just put a bandage on it and Akito would never notice.
I went to get a bandage and put it close to my ear.
"There"
I packed up my bag—I forgot to mention I was staying over.
I wrote on a sticky note on how I was staying the night at Akito's house.
The note said:

Dear Father,
I'll be staying over at the Shinonome's home. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be fine.
See you on Saturday morning.
Love,
Toya

I grabbed the note and laid it on the counter top. He was at work so I don't think he'll read this until at 5 pm.
I grabbed my stuff and set my adventure to see Akito.

Akito's POV:

I was dressed causally—shirt, sweatpants and whatever shit normies wear.
I was scared for dear life, I've seen Toya before. Why was i scared?
I cant be scared.
Its not normal for me to be scared.
What the hell?
Just shut up already and get yourself together you dumbass.

Why did I put myself into this disgusting mindset.
Why?

Not the time..just get over it.

Ding-Dong

Goddammit Toya's here.

Toya's POV:

Before I got here I was scrolling on Instagram and saw Akito's account.
I mean I wasn't allowed to have social media, my dad would check my phone often—more like every week. I'm literally 16??
He didn't post recently, but I do love seeing his face. It just looks so cute and squishy. Maybe at that point I was blushing.
I rang the doorbell softly and waited outside the door.
The door clicked open and I saw Ena.

"Hello Toya! Did you come to see Akito?"
"Yes I did, Ena"
"Well he's in his room if you need him."
"Thank you."

It kind of my job to be polite to others because my dad says so.
I saw Ena making a smirk while I was going to Akito's room.

I walk in his room.

His room is a absolute disaster, clothes all over the place. I can tell he didn't get out of bed for a while.
But there he is, laying on his bed, bored.

"Hello, Akito"
"Hey, Toya"
I sat down next to him, lying down.
"Tell me the truth Akito, you can tell me anything.."
I saw him on the verge of tears when he heard my sentence. I hate to see him like this.
"..."
Akito suddenly hugged me, crying.
I decided to comfort him.
"I-Im sorry.." the ginger cried out.

I didn't know why my heart was beating, was I scared or..?
Or what?
Love?
He did look cute...
"I hate to see you like this.." I whispered.
I lift up his chin and kissed him on the forehead.

"I love you, Akito."
"I love you too, Toya"
