Chapter 20
Sakata woke up to the bright summer sky. He rubbed his eyes and looked to the side to see the brunette that he was rooming with wasn't in his bed. Guess Urata already got up. He got out of his bed and walked to the kitchen to see Soraru and Kashitarou making their breakfast.
"Good morning niichan, Kashi~"
The two males turned their heads to the sound of their names being called and noticed Sakata's presence.
"Hello Sakata," Kashitarou said while Soraru just gave his brother a smile and turned back to cooking.
"Have you guys seen Urata?" The redhead questioned the two.
Kashitarou gave a small smirk to Sakata, who blushed a bit before looking away from Kashitarou's gaze.
"He went to the store to get some things. He'll be back by now." Soraru said, not looking at his brother.
Sakata smiled and went back into the living room to see Mafu and Senra were playing with Iroha.
"Hey Sakata." Senra said as Mafu waved at the redhead.
Sakata returned the gesture as he sat next to them. Iroha walked up to him and he pet her. She purred in delight as she had the attention of the three males.
"So Shima and Amatsuki are the only ones still asleep?" Sakata asked as Senra nodded.
"Eh? Urata's awake? I would've thought he'd be tired after having to carry someone taller than him yesterday." Mafu commented as Sakata looked at him confused.
"Eh?"
"Oh right you were asleep. Wwwww." Mafu giggled as Senra smiled at the redhead.
"Soraru and Mafu made Urata carry your sleeping body to your room."
The comment made Sakata blush at the thought of his crush carrying him.
"EH?!"
"Wwwww. Sakata's face matches his hair."
Mafu giggled, they heard the door open and were meet with the sight of Urata, holding bags full of food. Perfect timing Urata~ The brunette stared at his albino friend with a blank expression once he saw the smirk on his face.
"I just got here and the first thing I see is your smirking face. What are you doing Mafu?" The brunette was cautious of the albino, whose smirk grew wider.
"Nothing~ just that you have perfect timing~" Urata just continued staring in confusion.
"Okay...." Urata then turned his gaze at the other two, "hey guys."
"Hello Urata." Senra said as he took a glance at the blushing redhead.
"H-H-Hi U-Urata." Sakata stuttered, he was still flustered by the previous comment and seeing the brunette right now wasn't helping him.
Urata carried me. Urata carried me. Urata CARRIED me. The thought kept repeating in his head as Urata stared at the redhead. He laughed at his expression, he looks adorable. He slightly blushed at the redhead's shy action and laughed to himself.
"Well I'm going to help Kashi and Soraru make our breakfast."
Urata walked into the kitchen as Mafu and Senra snickered at Sakata.
"So Sakata has a crush on Urata."
It was a question but the way Senra said it made it seem like a statement.
"Yep~" Mafu replied as Sakata stared at him with horror in his eyes.
"Eh? You told Senra!?"
Sakata looked at Mafu, who sheepishly smiled.
"Sorry Sakata, it sort of slipped."
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone else." Senra assured the redhead who just sighed.
"I trust you Senra, but maybe not Mafu anymore."
"Hey!" Mafu exclaimed, he acted like he was hurt by the redhead's words as Sakata just rolled his eyes. The last two arrivals entered the living room.
"Hey guys." Shima said as he went to sit next to his boyfriend. Amatsuki just waved at them, he was still trying to wake himself up.
"Hello. Urata, Soraru and Kashi are in the kitchen cooking."
At the mention of Kashitarou, Amatsuki's eyes lit up as the drowsiness left his face. Mafu just rolled his eyes, of course the mention of his boyfriend would wake him up.
"Ah~ Wait can Urata even cook? He doesn't cook at all right?" Amatsuki looked at the albino with a doubtful face.
"No but I'm sure he's just helping them.....in some way."
Amatsuki just shrugged at Mafu's reply. The five of them were sitting on the ground, playing around with Iroha.
"Oi. Breakfast is ready."
Urata's voice was heard from the kitchen as the others got up and were meet with the sight of food.
"I'm hungry so let's dig in." Shima said as he was the first to sit down.
Senra shook his head at his boyfriend's childish actions and joined. They all sat down and ate, admiring the food that was served for them.
"That was delicious guys." Amatsuki exclaimed, his eyes lit up with enjoyment of the food.
"Thank Kashi and Soraru, they were the ones who made it." Urata lazily said, pointing to the two males. Soraru gave him a smug look.
"You're just upset that you didn't get to do much tanuki." Urata glared at the raven-haired male in annoyance.
"Cause I can't cook well."
"Hey Sakata, how does Soraru's cooking taste like?" Mafu questioned the redhead.
"Niichan is the best chef I know."
Sakata smiled at his brother, who just blushed and smiled embarrassingly at the comment.
"So Urata will get to taste his brother-in-law's cooking once he dates Sakata~" Shima teasingly said, audible enough so that only Urata can hear the remark.
"Oi!"
Urata stood up and slammed his hands on the table, glaring at the purple-haired male with a blush visible on his face.
"Eh? Urata, what are you talking about?"
Mafu was confused on the brunette's action, he wasn't the only one, the others were also confused. Shima just snickered to himself and Urata blushed, now from embarrassment, as he continued to glare at the purple-haired male.
"N-N-Nothing."
Urata covered his face with the back of his hand. Sakata stared at the brunette and slightly blushed as he thought the brunette was cute when acting embarrassed. They finished their breakfast and decided to get ready to go to the beach.
"Ah~ Race you to the water Mafu." Sakata said as he ran into the water.
"Hey Sakata! No fair!" Mafu chased the redhead.
"So energetic. Wwww" Amatsuki laughed until Kashitarou spoke.
"Look who's talking."
Amatsuki blushed at the comment and glared at the brunette, who just smirked in satisfaction at making the other blush.
"Stop flirting." Soraru bluntly said, he pointed at Shima and Senra before continuing to speak again.
"They don't flirt as much as you two."
"Hey Soraru!" Shima shouted at the raven-haired's comment. Senra just looked away, as if the birds were more interesting.
"Let's just enjoy the beach right now."
Urata looked at the two who had left them, they were having fun in the water, splashing each other. He smiled at the sight of a happy Sakata.
"Yeah let's have fun." With that Amatsuki ran to join the two and the others walked to catch up to him.
They were having a fun time, Soraru and Urata were sitting on the towels as they watched the others play around.
"They really are so energetic." Urata commented as he stared at the redhead in the distance.
"You're going to have to get used to it when you date Sakata."
Soraru's statement made the brunette snap his head to face the raven-haired male.
"EH!?" Urata blushed as Soraru just gave him a side glance.
"You like Sakata right, well good news he still likes you." Soraru said bluntly as Urata was trying to keep up with what was happening.
"H-H-How d-did y-y-you— Did Mafu tell you!?"
Urata couldn't stop blushing, he was sure that his face was completely red by now.
"Yes and no. It's pretty obvious to see that you like him, you actually show a different emotion instead of it just being a neutral expression."
"Look who's talking." Urata mumbled to himself as Soraru rose his eyebrow.
Urata was irritated but then he was hit with realization and looked at Soraru with bewildered eyes.
"Wait. You don't care?"
"You make Sakata happy so I'll forgive what happened on the Ferris wheel. Sakata didn't really know what to do so that's why he was upset."
"Oh."
Urata looked down, he still gelt guilty about the incident. Soraru looked at the brunette and sighed.
"Well you can try confessing during this trip. If you decide to do it later then his feelings might go away."
"Why are you helping me?" Urata was confused on the raven-haired male's action.
"Trust me, I still don't like you but one, Mafu wants me to help get you two together and two, Sakata deserves happiness."
"I figured as much as Mafu dragging you in. And of course you'd want Sakata to be happy."
"Oi. Continue to be a smart-ass and I'll change my mind."
"Like you would do anything that would upset Sakata."
Urata smirked as Soraru glared at the brunette. They stopped their conversation when they heard Shima shout to them.
"Hey! We're deciding to play volleyball. Want to join?" Shima suggested, they still had some time before they had to go back to the beach house.
"Sounds like a great idea." Urata said as he got up to join the others, Soraru just followed along.
"So we'll have teams of four. Who gets to chose the teams?" Kashitarou asked as the others looked at each other.
"This isn't fair because whichever team Soraru is on is going to definitely win." Mafu pouted.
"Eh? Why do you say that?" The raven-haired male questioned the albino.
"Have you seen yourself during the volleyball match in school? You were amazing." Soraru blushed at the albino's comment.
"So the teams are going to be me, Kashitarou, Shima and Soraru." Urata said, disrupting the conversation between the two.
"Eh? Why~" Amatsuki whined at the brunette's suggestion.
"It'll be fun~ The older ones vs the younger ones." Kashitarou smiled at the younger brunette, causing Amatsuki to pout.
"Fine." Amatsuki couldn't argue when Kashitarou was giving him a sweet smile.
"Okay then let's start."
Mafu served the ball and was happy that it got over the net. Urata bumped it back as Shima went to spike it. Senra returned the ball to the other side with a bump. They managed to score.
"Yes! One point for us." Amatsuki said as they gave the other team a smug look. Soraru rolled his eyes as Urata replied.
"We'll see about that."
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
The game ended with the older ones winning by four points. Amatsuki whined as Mafu pouted with an 'I was right' face. They were packing the things they brought to go back to the beach house.
"Of course you'd guys win, you had Soraru."
"Just accept that you're bad at volleyball." Urata replied to the brunette's complaining.
"I'll never accept defeat to you."
"But if it was Kashi then that's a whole different story."
"Urata!" The green-eyes brunette juts laughed at Amatsuki's misery.
"Hey guys, the sky looks lovely." Sakata said as he stared at the sun setting down and the night sky beginning to arise. He was admiring it when an idea occurred.
"Why don't we get some firework sparklers and light them up on the beach?"
"That's a great idea Sakata." Mafu eagerly nodded his head.
"I'll go get them then." Kashitarou said as he left.
The others followed him so they can change out of their swimsuits and got into comfortable clothing. They went back to the beach when the sky was dark and lit up the sparklers. They admired the sight of the lights flickering and shining in the starry night. Soraru was staring at Mafu, who was smiling at his sparkler.
"You seem to be having so much fun." Mafu looked up as Soraru joined him.
"It's fun hanging out with friends." Mafu smiled at the raven-haired male.
"Sure."
"You're secretly happy that you have great friends."
"Shut up." Mafu laughed as a blush appeared on Soraru's face.
"Do you think Urata or Sakata will confess to each other at some point?" Mafu asked Soraru, the raven-haired turned his head to see Sakata was smiling as he was talking to Urata and Amatsuki.
"Probably. You just have to wait for the right time I guess."
"Yeah."
Mafu hoped that Sakata would try again, they both just need to understand each other's feelings. His sparkler died out as Soraru spoke again.
"The others are ready to leave, let's go."
He stood up and walked towards the rest waiting for them.
"He really warmed up to us." Mafu said to himself as he followed the raven-haired male.
They were in the beach house, talking about random things that came into their minds. Sakata eventually got bored and decided to go outside as the others continued chatting.
"Where are you going?" Soraru asked his brother.
"I just want to see the night sky. I'll be back after awhile."
Sakata smiled at his brother and left the house. Soraru just sighed and smiled to himself, he likes to do things at the beat of his own drum.
He turned his glance towards Urata, who was talking to Kashitarou. I shouldn't worry about the tanuki, he'll definitely make Sakata happy. Soraru laughed to himself as he thought about him acting like a father approving his child's relationship.
Soraru went to the porch to enjoy the night breeze, he had always enjoy the peaceful night sky. He looked out to see Sakata looking up at the sky, the beach house wasn't far from the beach, it was just a three minute walk there.
Sakata was sitting down on the beach, the night sky is so beautiful. He always felt happy and calm looking at the night sky, as it allowed him to clear out his thoughts. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to tell Urata my feelings. Sakata had been thinking about if he should try to confess again or just stop this crush of his. But Mafu is trying hard to help me.
He felt that if he got rid of his feelings then it'd be like he had betrayed Mafu's help. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone had joined him.
"Oi. Stop spacing out."
Sakata jumped at the voice and turned his head to see the person he was just thinking about.
"Oh, hi Urata."
The brunette sat down next to him as Sakata started feeling nervous. He was afraid his feelings would come out again and they'd be stuck in an awkward atmosphere again. Urata just stared at the redhead.
"Why are you out here?"
Urata had noticed the redhead had left the house and decided to join him.
"Ah~ just looking at the night sky. It's pretty right?"
"Yeah."
Urata smiled as he stared at the redhead. Sakata turned his gaze to look at the brunette. Red meets green as Sakata quickly turned away and blushed.
"Urata have you ever liked someone?"
Sakata wanted to punch himself for asking that.
"Yep."
"Oh."
Sakata looked down, Urata laughed to himself before speaking.
"There's someone I like, I just found out I liked them after an incident occurred."
Sakata looked up to stare at Urata, who was looking at the ocean.
"He's really cute when he's blushing and every small action he does is just adorable. I can't stop thinking about him, I felt pretty bad when he was upset because of me."
Sakata's eyes widened in realization as he stared at the brunette who continued speaking.
"He's very energetic and a big idiot and I...."
Urata covered his face with the back of his hand as a blush crept onto his face, he wasn't looking at the redhead.
"I-I like him..." he mumbled.
"Can you repeat that?"
Sakata was blushing, is Urata....
"I-I-I love him...." Urata was still mumbling.
"I can't hear you Urata~" Sakata was smiling at the brunette, his face warm from the blush.
"Oi! I'm saying I love you!" Urata got irritated and shouted, glaring at the redhead, though it had no effect since his face was fully flushed.
"Wwww."
Sakata giggled at the brunette's embarrassed face. He was bursting with happiness as he said.
"I love Urata too." Sakata smiled and threw himself on Urata, enveloping him in a hug.
"O-Oi." Urata was blushing madly and annoyed, but he returned the hug.
"So does that mean we're dating now?" Sakata looked up at the brunette.
"No it means we're friends. Of course it means we're dating idiot." Urata sarcastically said as Sakata just grinned.
"Www you're such a tsundere."
"Oi."
Urata just ignored his annoyance and smiled as he was still hugging the redhead he loved so much. Sakata was grinning, so my feelings were returned in the end. They just smiled at each other as they enjoyed the night sky.
