Pairing: Die/Kaoru Prompt: Better late than never.
It took Kaoru eight years to realize he was in love with Die.
Eight years of wondering what exactly the redhead meant to him. He’d always loved Die, they were best friends, of course, and had been there for each other through thick and thin, after every messy break up, after every family feud, even after Die has accidentally broken one of Kaoru’s precious Gundam figurines. Looking back, Kaoru realized he should’ve figured it out then, since if that had been anyone else than the redheaded guitarist with the biggest grin this side of Wonderland, they would’ve been buried six feet under before they could say ‘oh shit, sorry’.
But he didn’t. Until, one night, eight years after he had first met him, something in his brain clicked when they were watching some terrible horror film in Die’s apartment and he found himself looking at his friend from a different perspective. Had Die always been so good looking?
Kaoru had always known the redhead was attractive but now he found himself really taking in everything about him, really noticing the things that made him who he was, like the little freckle that adorned his right eye, his large, pretty but unmistakably Asian eyes that always clearly showed his emotions and of course, those full, soft lips that were currently smeared with melted chocolate.
“Errr… Kaoru?” Die noticed he was being stared at and turned his head to face the older man, licking the chocolate off his plush bottom lip, his eyebrow raised. “You alright?”
“Yeah… um,” Kaoru blinked a couple of times, finally registering how much he actually loved to hear the younger guitarist’s voice. It was a nice voice, unable to deceive or harm anyone and the shorter man knew that Die was the only person in the world he could trust with his life. Which was why he felt he owed him honesty and didn’t bother to cover up what was going through his mind. “I’ve just kinda… found out I’m in love with you.”
Die nodded, a soft yet slightly smug smile spreading across his lips and after giving Kaoru a short look that was filled to the brim with adoration, he turned his head back to the screen.

“About bloody time.”
