*No one's POV*

Chihiro picked up his laptop and headed out into the living room, where Mondo was lounging around while Ishimaru was in the kitchen. "Guys, I'll be heading out." Chihiro said. Mondo jumped up and stared at him. "Are ya crazy kid?! You'll get killed or somethin'!" Mondo said, panicked. Chihiro giggled and headed towards the door.

"Don't worry Mondo! I'll be with Asahina and Sakura!" He said. "Well, alrigh'. Jus' be careful, ya hear?" Mondo called after him. "I will! See you later Mondo and Ishimaru!" Chihiro called.

Chihiro left, leaving the two alone. Mondo sat back down and tried to relax. Ishimaru walked out with a tray. He set down a plate and a cup of tea in front of Mondo. "I hope you enjoy kyoudai!" Ishimaru said, placing down his own plate and cup.

Mondo dug in, enjoying every bite. "Ya sure you ain't no cook? Cuz this is delicious!" Mondo said between bites. "It's a simple recipe anyone can make Mondo. Would you like me to teach you?" Ishimaru asked. Mondo nodded and swallowed his food. "Ya sure it won' be any trouble?" He asked. "No of course not! I'd be glad to teach you!" Ishimaru said, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Mondo chuckled, finding it adorable when his eyes lit up and how he got excited over the littlest things, making him seem like a little kid at times. Wait, I just called him adorable?! Mondo thought. Well, I guess he is adorable in his own way. Mondo got up and brought his dishes into the kitchen and put them in the sink. Ishimaru followed and washed the dishes while Mondo stood nearby.

"Kyoudai is something wrong?" Ishimaru asked, feeling the gaze of the other on him, which was unnerving. "Oh, nothin' wrong. Don' worry Ishi." Mondo said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. Ishimaru nodded and continued doing the dishes. He dried them and put them away then turned to Mondo, clasping his hands together with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Are you ready to learn how to cook Mondo?" He asked. "Ishi you don' have to-" Mondo was cut off by a voice coming from the living room. They looked at each other before heading out to the living room. They saw Alter Ego on the tv and relaxed. Alter Ego smiled at them. "Oowada-kun! Ishimaru-kun!" She said happily. "Ah, hello Alter Ego!" Ishimaru chirped.

Mondo waved to the AI. Alter Ego laughed. "Oowada-kun, you aren't going to say hi?" "Hey Alter Ego." Mondo muttered. "That's better! Oh, is there something behind you?" Alter Ego asked, moving her head to the side. Mondo and Ishimaru immediately turned around and Alter Ego turned off the lights.

"W-what happened to the lights?" Ishimaru asked, nervously moving closer to Mondo. "Dunno. Hey, Alter Ego! Can ya fix the lights?" Mondo asked. "I'll try." Alter Ego said before disappearing. Ishimaru inched closer to Mondo, his hands nervously crossed in front of his chest.

Mondo saw Ishimaru moving closer and blushed slightly. He reached out and pulled the smaller boy into a hug, which seemed to calm him slightly. Mondo picked him up and sat down on the couch, putting him in his lap. They stared at each other for a long time before a clap of thunder sounded.

Ishimaru squeaked and jumped, growing paler then he already was. Mondo pulled him closer, tucking his head under his chin. Ishimaru shook slightly and curled into Mondo's body. Lightning flashed as rain poured down on the house. "I hope Chihiro's alrigh'." Mondo muttered, blushing at how close the smaller boy was.

"I-I'm sure h-he is..." Ishimaru studdered. "Hey, are ya scared or somethin'?" Mondo asked. Ishimaru hesitated, not wanting to make himself seem weak like he has done before, he slowly nodded. "It's alrigh' Ishimaru. Everyone has a fear." Mondo said.

"What about you Mondo?" Ishimaru asked, jumping as thunder sounded. "I got fears myself Ishi." Mondo said. "I jus' don' let 'em show." Ishimaru nodded and closed his eyes, moving closer and pressing his body against him. Thunder and lightning continued to crash down on them as the two cuddled on the couch, Mondo's blush growing darker by the minute.

He's too damned cute! I can't fucking take it! Mondo thought, blushing furiously. He looked down at Ishimaru to see the other look up at him. Mondo didn't know what drove him to it; maybe the way Ishimaru looked so vulnerable or maybe it was the heat of the moment.

Mondo found himself lifting up Ishimaru's chin and leaning towards him. They seemed to be drawn to each other like magnets. Their faces got closer, Mondo's breath ghosting over Ishimaru's lips. Mondo could see the little specks in Ishimaru's eyes. Ishimaru closed his eyes in anticipation of what's to come.

Mondo closed his eyes as their lips connected. Neither of them moved for what felt like forever before Mondo moved his hand to caress his cheek, tilting his head to deepen the kiss. Mondo slowly moved his lips against Ishimaru's, not sure if he was doing it right but was surprised when Ishimaru did the same.

The two kept it up, kissing each other. It wasn't lust filled or needy, but a kiss full of love. Love between the two boys that they've felt for a long time. They parted for air only for Mondo to go in for another one. This one was short and sweet, the two parting after a while, a strand of saliva connecting their bottom lips.

Mondo broke it and stared lovingly into Ishimaru's eyes. Ishimaru was as red as his eyes and he buried his face in the crook of his neck. Mondo chuckled slightly, rubbing his back in circles. "I love you Ishimaru." Mondo muttered. "I-I love you too Mondo..." Ishimaru said.
