"Awkward Consequences"

The silence between them seemed to stretch on forever, with neither of them daring to break it. Mitsuba's hands still covered his face, and Kou's eyes were fixed on some unknown point on the floor. The only sound was the gentle hum of the air conditioner and the soft rustle of the sheets beneath them. As the silence dragged on, Mitsuba slowly scooted over, his movements hesitant and uncertain. Kou's eyes flicked up, and he watched in surprise as Mitsuba positioned himself on top of him, his chest pressed against Kou's. The sticky cum that had been left behind made them stick together, and Mitsuba's head came to rest in the crook of Kou's neck. Kou's arms instinctively wrapped around Mitsuba, holding him close as he buried his face in the younger boy's hair. The scent of Mitsuba's shampoo wafted up, and Kou's heart skipped a beat as he felt Mitsuba's warm breath on his skin. In a barely audible whisper, Mitsuba spoke, his words tumbling out in a rush. "Are.. are.. are.. um.. are we dating now?.. boyfriends?" The question was asked so quickly, and yet so quietly, that Kou had to strain to hear it. Kou's heart skipped a beat as he processed Mitsuba's question. He had been so caught up in the moment, and then in the awkwardness that followed, that he hadn't really considered what this meant for their relationship. As he lay there, holding Mitsuba close, Kou couldn't help but think back to the previous night. They had said and done things that they couldn't take back, and now they had to face the consequences. Kou's eyes closed, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He felt Mitsuba's chest rise and fall as the younger boy waited for an answer, his body tense with anticipation. Slowly, Kou's arms tightened around Mitsuba, holding him closer. "Mitsuba," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "I don't know what happened last night, or what it means for us. But I do know that I don't want to let you go." Mitsuba's body relaxed, and he let out a soft sigh, his head still buried in the crook of Kou's neck. Kou could feel his heart beating against his own chest, and he knew that he had to make a decision. As they lay there, stuck together in a mess of sheets and cum, Kou knew that their relationship had reached a turning point. And he had to decide what to do next.
