Title: Importance
Author: Kameko-chan
Pairings: Kotetsu/Izumo
Notes: Theme 15, `Perfect Blue'. Heh, these will probably degenerate into complete and utter crack soon.

-----------------------------

They've stopped caring who knows. When you live your life day to day, when you watch your friends die so that you and yours can live to see tomorrow, people's prejudices have a smaller impact on your life. Being happy becomes the important factor. Lying side by side in the lush grass of the park they help tend, next to the flowerbed they'd helped plant and the tree they'd both learned to climb on, that is what matters. Holding hands as they watch the clouds float through the hazy summer sky is the important thing, not who sees them do it.

Kotetsu leans over and touches lips to his companion's cheek, the chastest of kisses. He whispers to Izumo that he loves him, will always love him, because he hasn't mentioned it in awhile. It's important to him that Izumo always knows, and it's important that Kotetsu knows he knows.

Izumo colors slightly, a hint of red that even his best friend's steady gaze barely picks up. He leans to the left and rests his head on the steady shoulder that always has been and always will be there for him, unrepentantly blissful. He smiles and tells Kotetsu that he'll always love him too, no matter what, even if he stops liking him one day. Kotetsu laughs and kisses the top of his head, because they both know that could never happen.

They sit, watching the clouds drift lazily by in a sea of perfect blue, and they are content.
