"Come on，Aichi。"

Kai was tugging at Aichi's hand who was irresponsive。His friends waited for him to go to them。

"It's okay. There's no reason to be shy. We forgive you." Miwa gave the hesitant bluenette a kind smile。Aichi winced，but instead of moving he stayed in place，and hung his head down。

"Aichi?"

"Why do you forgive me?"

Shocked silence. Aichi looked up, looking angry.

"Why do you forgive me?"

"Aichi, we love and care for you. Isn't that all you want?" Leon frowned, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"You forgive me just because I'm a good friend?"

Silence. Aichi shook his head, frustrated.

"We。。。" Ren started，lost for words。Aichi sighed。

"We care for you Aichi. You're not alone, ya know?" Naoki gave him a wry smile, banging his fist on his chest with a loud thump, and his smile wavered a bit，hurt expressed in his eyes。

Ouch. That must have hurt. Kai thought，but his face remained stoic。

"And I love you。" Kai gave Aichi a loving smile，and Aichi grunted，not convinced。Kai sighed in exasperation at his lover's stubborness，and grabbed Aichi's chin，who didnt flinch and looked at Kai with stony eyes。

We have begun to grow like each other。I have collected mates and you chose solitude。Kai thought，feeling nostalgic，and he pulled Aichi into a deep kiss，hugging Aichi in an embrace。

Aichi didn't kiss back。

Kai shortly ended the kiss，frowning at the small bluenette，who remained silent but his eyes became soft，like the Aichi he knew。

"I'm sorry，did you want a better one？" Aichi's lips twitched into a gentle smile。Before Kai could reply，Aichi kissed him lightly，which surprised Kai, because he was usually the one to start the kiss, but the kiss was shy and gentle. Smiling, he pulled Aichi into a deeper kiss, pulling him into a light embrace. They broke apart for air, and Kai looked at the others, panting. His friends were smiling and Miwa was clapping. The Quatre Knights，all injured，appeared as well，Gaillard scowling。

We have become like each other but stayed the same. Kai thought, smiling at the small bluenette, who mirrored him.

"You know, Aichi, I've started to become like you."

Aichi widened his eyes in surprise, but he closed them and hugged Kai.

"And I you."
