(this is told from Kurosaki's point of view, just because I wanted to try a first-person story)

Kizami has been sleeping over a lot more recently. I didn't really mind. I knew he liked it much better than his own home, and my parents love Kizami, they didn't mind either. I have to admit, I liked having him around so much, especially when I wake up. The only thing that was a little awkward was having to wear my pajama pants to sleep. It's a little awkward to sleep in just boxers with someone else in the bed.

But it shouldn't be awkward; Kizami and I were a couple now, right? Right? I mean, that would be the logical conclusion. We told each other how we felt, and we…kissed. But for some reason it didn't feel any different, things are the same between us as always. Is this what it feels like to be in a relationship with someone? Or are we still just friends despite what happened? I should just ask Kizami directly…ah, but I don't want to make things weird between us…I'm really enjoying what we have. Hmm..

"Kurosaki?"

A deep, booming voice screeched my train of thought to a halt, and I look over to see a concerned-looking Kizami sitting on my bedroom floor. I must have been staring off into space like a weirdo.

"Ahaha..sorry, sorry! I got lost in thought!" I sat next to him on the floor. He had my playstation controller in hand. Looks like he was trying to play a game. "Whatcha playing?"

"I don't know…you just handed me this controller when you got up to get changed." He said, handing it back to me. That figures, Kizami was never into video games. I sighed and took the controller back. "Are you feeling alright, Kurosaki?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You don't seem fine."

Shit. Maybe now would be a good time to ask? About…us?

"Er…well, actually, I-" and then I looked at him. He was giving me a worried look, like a child that had just done something wrong. I felt my face heat up fast. Dammit, how can such a scary looking guy be so cute sometimes?! I snapped back to reality, and realized that I must have been staring at Kizami for who knows how long. I quickly turned away from him, to try and save face. "I-I guess I'm just tired..! Ehehehe.."

"Ah. I'm getting pretty tired as well. Maybe we should sleep." Kizami says, standing up. He extends his hand down to me to help me up, and I grabbed it almost reflexively.

"Yeah…"

I missed my chance. I'm sure there would be more in the future, but I couldn't help feeling a little discouraged as I climbed into my bed. Kizami climbed into the other side like always.

"Goodnight Kurosaki."

"Night Kizami."

I woke up the next morning without help from my alarm. That doesn't happen often, and it was actually kind of nice. I slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing I see is a large, blurry figure over me. Blinking a few times, it came into focus. It was Kizami. He was sitting up next to me, just staring down at me.

"Gaahh!" I let out a yelp and jumped back, pressing my back against the wall. I let out and impatient sigh when my brain finally processed that it was Kizami at my side. "K-kizami..you scared me, idiot!"

"Good morning, Kurosaki." He said, totally sidestepping how he terrified me. I just groaned and rubbed my eyes.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Mmm…about a half hour."

"And…you've just been sitting here watching me sleep?"

"Yes. You looked peaceful."

I felt my cheeks warming up again. "Sh-shut up." I blinked some more, and looked around the room. For some reason it wasn't as dark as it was some mornings. "Hey Kizami, what time is it anyway?"

"Almost 10."

"WHAT?!" I shot up out of bed and looked around for my phone, grabbing it and flipping it open without pulling the charger off. Sure enough, it was almost 10am. "Kizami we're so late for school!" I threw my covers off and went to climb out of bed, but suddenly my vision went dark. Kizami placed his hand over my eyes and pushed me back down on the bed. Not painfully, of course, but then again I didn't put up much of a struggle.

"Go back to sleep. You looked like you were having good dreams."

I sighed and gently pulled his hand off my eyes. I didn't try to fight it, I just laid on the bed, defeated. "Did you shut off my alarm?"

"Yes. Are you mad?"

I thought about it for a bit. I guess one day couldn't hurt. "No, I'm not mad." I rolled over on my side, facing Kizami, who gave me a smile and reached up, starting to run his hand through my hair. There's no way I could get back to sleep now. But this was kind of nice…

"..Kizami…"

"Mm?"

"What's going on..between us?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

I gently pulled his hand away from my head. "I-I mean..about the other day.."

"Oh. You mean when I kissed you?"

Kizami's expression never wavered, while my stomach was turning around and around. I wonder if he's just better at hiding it. "Y-yeah. I mean, what happens now?"

Kizami looked puzzled. "I'm not sure I understand."

"Well it's just, nothing has really changed since then! Are we dating now, or have you changed your mind about me? I-I'm just really confused!"

"Are you saying you want to be my boyfriend?"

Hearing that made my heart climb into my throat. It was what I wanted, yes, but…it was so different actually hearing it out loud, from Kizami. I swallowed hard, and managed to respond in a whisper. "W-well, yeah…"

Kizami smiled and just silently leaned in to kiss me. I instinctively closed my eyes, and leaned into him a little further. I nervously parted my lips slightly, and Kizami took the incentive. I felt his tongue slide past my lips and it sent a chill down my spine. I tangled my tongue with his, and I felt his breathing pace increase as he got excited. Feeling flustered, I pulled back. This was going just a bit fast for me. I looked up at Kizami, who was left panting softly and looking at me with half-lidded eyes. My face was practically radiating heat.

"I-I, um, th-that was, ah.." I stammered. I was panting as well and it was hard to collect my words and thoughts. Kizami just chuckled and leaned in again, planting a kiss on my forehead.

"You're so cute, Kurosaki."

I gently pushed his face away and laughed, probably out of nerves just because my heart was pounding. "Be quiet, idiot."

"Hey, is that any way to talk to your boyfriend?"

"Heh, my bad." I smiled again, giving him another light nudge. Even thought my heart was racing, I was very comfortable here. Kizami reaches over and bushed some of my hair out of my face, and I let out a relaxed sigh. I closed my eyes, actually comfortable enough to sleep for a little while longer. I felt Kizami take my hand in his, the one that wasn't stroking my hair anyway.

I was really happy here. One day off definitely couldn't hurt.

(this one was kinda short i guess, but I really love this pairing, so I just want to write lots of fluff. Smut is next, I promise.)
