Tears Of The Roseatte Rabbit

prologue:

The rain poured down as the class prez stared out of the classroom window

"U-Usagi!" Ahiru panted out of breath "Wait, come back!" Heat rose in his face as the exhaustion from running after his crush finally hit him. Usagi turned around, tears streaming down his face, he looked flustered. Usagi finally stopped running once out of sight. "Please leave me be." Usagi cried, "I want to be alone." He was shaken and out of breath, there were scrapes and bruises on his knees from stumbling. "I'm fine" he lied. Ahiru knew this was a lie but decided not to say anything. Ahiru sighed and sat down next to Usagi who was hiding behind a tree. "W-what happened to you?" He asked with concern "I saw you running past my classroom, you looked like you were gonna have a mental breakdown" Ahiru took a deep breath so Usagi wouldn't worry about him. He added "Don't worry, I used my class prez Duties to get out of there." He smiled shyly. "Ok do Tell me what happened, please" Usagi shut his eyes, he had a pained expression on his face "H-he outed me... IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! N-Nousagi outed me..."

"Nousagi outed me" he whispered, voice cracking from all his crying earlier. Usagi took a deep breath and finally looked over at ahiru embarrassment flooding over him after he realised he had just cried IN FRONT OF the guy he liked. "I'm sure he didn't mean to, he would never do something like that. he looks up to you so much, but I'm sure you already know that" ahiru said with consolation, smiling gently to mask his concern, after all he had to make sure Usagi didn't see through him into his heart and realised just how much ahiru cared for him. Usagi felt like vomiting, he accidentally told ahiru that he was gay and he felt ashamed at his best friend/forbidden crush knowing. "I-I, forget it I'm over it a-anyways" he stuttered and felt the tears start to flow again. "If you really are sure you are ok" ahiru sighed at his friend. "You should probably talk it out with your brother, if there's anything I can do to help just let me know" he said, his heart beating for some totally unknown reason. "Thanks, I love you" Usagi said without even thinking. "W-what" ahiru sputtered almost choking on his own tongue, the pure and raw emotions almost flooding out of his pores in a grotesquely loving wave at the first sign of hope that his feelings could be returned, he stared at Usagi face flushed red eyes wide with shock. "What" Usagi mirrored, not realising what he had just said. "Usagi kun you just said you loved me" he said, eyes growing even wider and face turning redder with embarrassment. Usagi looked away again, but Ahiru gently grabbed his face and turned it towards him, moving Usagi's face out of his hair so he could see him better. Usagi's eyes were shining, face was red from embarrassment, eyelids puffy from crying and his nose was running 🏃‍♀️ but ahiru couldn't help but think that Usagi has never looked more beautiful in Ahiru’s eyes. Just then Usagi realised just how handsome Ahiru truly was, having never let himself look so closely before from fear he might fall Even more rapidly Into the deep abyss called love. Love... love... LOVE. HE HAD ACTUALLY TOLD AHIRU HE LOVED HIM, AND AHIRU WASN'T MAD, in-fact, now that Usagi was getting a better look at his expression and not just him as a whole he could see that ahiru looked hopeful. Usagi flushed even more to the point where he may as well not have any skin. " y-yeah, what's it to you" he said trying to act like he wasn't madly in love with the MAAAAN sitting right beside him, in his time of need. Ahiru blink, then blinked, then blinked again, then continued blinking for the rest of his life, as the weight of what had just happened finally squished his tiny little racing heart, and finally he let out a stupidly large and smug smirk"oh really, well I guess I love you too, or whatever" ahiru said as he turned even more red. "R-really" usagi-kun said"yes really" ahiru replied grinning even wider than his smirk was. "I love you so much more than you could ever imagine, I wouldn't just lie for anyone stupid, not even my mum" he told him "ru-chan I love you so much, and I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm gonna vomit my heart out of my lungs or something HELP" he continued. Usagi let out a soft sigh of satisfaction and smiled for the first time that day "I love you so much, baka" Usagi giggling as he leaned his moist face towards ahiru to give him a smooch on his face. Usagi was so happy, he didn't care that people knew he was gay, he didn't care that all the people in this au were gay, all he cared about was ahiru, after all as long as his newfound lover ahiru was there he knew everything was gonna be ok
