Read Fire and Ice :: Azu | Tapas Community

Checking the wall clock for the umpteenth time in an hour, Azu waited for Akira to come. He nestled down in his bed, impatient and slightly anxious. The wait was killing him and he more than aware of his heart beating wildly, in anticipation of what, or rather who was to arrive.

He almost jumped out of the bed as Izuki opened the door and entered the room, throwing a backpack over his shoulder

"Give a me a call once he leaves."

"Sure, will do." That one moment, when Azu looked at Izuki and bobbed his head earnestly and innocently, Izu felt a pang in his chest. He sighed as he realized that this was one of those rare moments when he could see him without a mask on these days.

Walking up to Azu's bed, he knelt down on the floor beside him and pulled him in a hug. Ruffling his messy hair he said, "If anything goes wrong, don't think twice about calling me."

"Izu, you are acting weird." Azu laughed and pushed him away. "I'll be alright.You should leave before Akira's here "

"Yeah Yeah, I know that." Taking in a deep breath, he told him, "I know, but I want to kiss you so badly right now."

"I'm sorry, what?!!"

Azu cried out in surprise,"What the fuck dude? Are you being serious right now?"

His laughter died off when Izuki took his hand and said, "Yes I am being serious."

Oh no, the timing can't be any worse.

"Izu, I'm really sorry for doing this to you but can we talk about this later? Cos you need to leave right now. Aki's almost here. I can feel it."

That did the job. Izuki sighed and stood up to leave but not before ruffling Azu's hair again and giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Alright, then. See you later."

"Later."

As Izuki exited the room, Azu let out the breath he was holding.

Just what was that?

***

His skin was tingling. The air around him was warming up, gently covering him like a cocoon.

His breathing was shallow and fast and his face was flushed.

No, I have to restrain myself. I don't want to look too excited.

He turned on his bed and pulling the sheets over his head, waited for Akira to come to him. Almost as if on cue, he heard a knock.

No, I'm not ready for this.

Akira knocked again when he got no response.

"Akira, is that you?", Azu asked feigning innocence, as if he didn't already know.

"Yeah. Azu, can I come in?"

"Yes, you can." Azu's hands clenched on his blankets and he turned over to face away from door as he heard Akira open the main door and close it after him.

"I'm over here. In this room." Azu called out.

Any second now

"Hey", hands crossed, leaning on the door frame and a smile on his face, there he was.

You sexy son of a bitch.
