three times the hinayuu

Hello! Welcome to my Hinayuu gay game. This game has about maybe 8000 words, three routes, and 5 different endings. All the endings are good, except one (1), but you'll know which one it is when you see it. I hope you enjoy it! ''A quick note:'' Try not to use the back button! I don't know if it will break the game, haha. All routes have links back to the start! [[continue]] (set: $yuutapoint to 1) (set: $path to "") (set: $angst to (a:"So Yuuta's got a boyfriend.

"Hey, are you up yet? You're going to be late if we don't get up now." Hinata's eyes flicker open, and he stares up into the soft, familiar green. "Hey. Wake up." "Muh?" Yuuta laughs, running his hand through his hair with a soft smile. It's pretty -- it's a pretty smile, one of which Hinata can't explain why he likes so much. When had he first felt these [feelings]<love| for his brother like this? []<lovetext| (click: ?love)[(replace:?lovetext)[//(Hinata has known, for the longest time, about his feelings for his precious twin. Of course, who's he going to tell about it? Sakuma-senpai?

"What's with that look?" Yuuta's eyes study right into his eyes, all pretty green. "Did you forget what day it was?" //What day it was, what day it was.// Hinata's eyes flicker over to the calendar, and then back towards his brother.

discord test <div class="discord">yuuta: aniki </div> usernames: (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ hinata spycybreeze yuuta 1. first date+confession 2. anniversary 3. pseudo-wedding Hello Miles! Happy late birthday! I decided to make this little game in Twine just for you. It's a little game that I really hope you'll enjoy. I love you lots and I hope you really enjoy this one! <3

The calendar had shown it to him loud and clear -- March 5th, their birthday. "It's your birthday, Yuuta-kun! Happy birthday!" Yuuta hits him with one of those Looks that tells Hinata that he's upset about something he's said, but he can't, for the life of him, figure out what he's upset about. "Aniki." "Yeees?" "Who's birthday is it also." Hinata gives Yuuta one of his own Looks. "Well, it's //my// birthday too, but it's not that big of a deal! It's your day to celebrate, Yuuta-kun!" [[next|4a1]]

As Hinata's eyes flicker over to the calendar on the wall, he brightens visibly. This date -- he knows what day it is today! It's the first time that the two of them had decided to go out on a date, not just as brothers, but as boyfriends. It's odd -- Hinata had thought he had planned so much for the two of them, but as it turns out, Yuuta was steps ahead of him. [["Hmm, I wonder what day it is ~ "|4b1a]] [["Happy anniversary, Yuuta-kun!"|4b1b]]

"Tell me, Yuuta-kun!" Yuuta fixes Hinata with an intent expression, a small smile on his face as he watches him. Hinata meets his gaze, tilting his head like a small puppy. "You'll find out after school today." "Eeehh? Now I'll be thinking about it all day!" From the look on Yuuta's face, Hinata can kind of tell that was the plan, so he pouts at him as Yuuta grabs his bag, heading out the door. [[next|4c1]]

"It's //your// birthday, Aniki." Yuuta says, in a way that makes Hinata feel tingly inside. "Come with me." "Woah!" Hinata is tugged out of bed, being pulled to his feet. Yuuta tugs him close, into his warmth, and Hinata lets out a small sigh, nuzzling into his neck as Yuuta holds him, running soft fingers through his hair. He sighs, melting into the touch. "Are you being a big brother today, onii-chan?" Yuuta huffs in that cute way of his. "We're going to be late, Hinata-kun." [[next|4a2]]

Hinata allows Yuuta to tug him along, to the bathroom, where they both quickly change, and in seconds, they're out the door again, hand-in-hand as they make their way down the street. "Where are you taking me, onii-chan?" "It's a secret." [[Beg with big, shiny eyes.|4a2a]] [[Use the onii-chan card.|4a2b]] [[Stay quiet and let Yuuta-kun lead you.|4a2c]]

(set: $yuutapoint to $yuutapoint +1) Hinata gives him a Big Eyed Look... It's ineffective! Yuuta is unphased by how cute Hinata is, despite being extremely, extremely, adorable. Yuuta squeezes his hand, and Hinata whines, eyes sparkling. "That's not going to work on me." "But..." Yuuta tugs him along, and Hinata decides to leave the matter for later. [[next|4a3]]

(set: $yuutapoint to $yuutapoint +3) "Pleaaase, onii-chan?" Yuuta huffs for a minute, squeezing his hand gently. Just when Hinata thinks he's about to break, he simply goes quiet, turning his head to the front again. (But Hinata's pretty sure he can see an inkling of a blush on his brother's ears, turning red with embarrassment.) "This way." [[next|4a3]]

(set: $yuutapoint to $yuutapoint +2) Hinata simply stays quiet, gently squeezing Yuuta's hand. "You're not going to ask?" "Why? I trust Onii-chan with my whoooole heart, so..." Yuuta coughs a bit, hiding his face. Hinata can tell he's embarrassed -- how cute! Hinata wants to see more and more of his super cute face, even though he's supposed to be the little brother today. [[next|4a3]]

//Yuuta's really become reliable.// The thought sits nicely in his mind as Hinata swings their hands between their bodies, humming softly to himself as he watches Yuuta lead him towards a small cafe. He recognises the smell of the cafe before he even sees the name of the cafe, and he turns to Yuuta with an expression he can only describe as shock. "Yuuta-kun, this is -- " This is...the cafe that they had went to, the first time that they'd had enough cash to be able to splurge. Hinata had taken Yuuta here to treat themselves, and they'd both ordered something terribly sweet and terribly spicy, and the memory, while painful, still reminds Hinata of simpler times. "Let's go in?" "Yeah!" [[Go in.|4a4]]

The cafe hasn't changed much since the last time Hinata's been here. The same old tables, the smell of espresso in the air. It's nostalgic in a way that Hinata can't place. "Do you want the shortcake?" Yuuta's referring to the beautiful, round cake, perfectly iced, with delicious strawberries on top, and likely inside, amongst the cream. "I'll get the curry pie." "I'm surprised they still have it!" "Me too." Hinata glances over at him. [["Didn't you plan this, onii-chan?|4a5a]] [["Do you want to eat something else?"|4a5b]] [["Can we go somewhere else?"|4a5c]]

(set: $path to "stay") "Didn't you plan this, onii-chan?" Yuuta's shifty expression tells Hinata all he needs to know. Warm, Hinata reaches over to wrap his arms around his twin's arm, nuzzling his face into his shoulder. Yuuta, in his cute way, flusters. "Agh, let go of me -- " "To think that you would remember this place! This fair maiden Hinata-chan is really touched!" "What are you talking about //fair maiden//? Let me go!" "Nope! You're in my arms forever now!" "Agh, that -- " "Um, are you two going to order...?" Yuuta stammers out an apology, and starts to order -- the same meal that they'd had so long ago. Hinata clings to his arm, a soft smile on his face. Yeah, he thinks that this is the best, after all -- to be with his brother like this. [[next | 4a6]]

(set: $path to "stay") "Do you want to eat something else?" "Huh?" "I mean, we don't have to stick to old habits, right? It's a new day, we can try some new things. I know, why don't we switch?" "As in dishes?" "Yep! I can eat the curry pie this time, and you can have something sweet!" "I don't really like sweet things..." Yuuta's hand finds Hinata's again, lacing their fingers together. "But you're right. Maybe my taste has changed a little? Hinata blinks up at him, and squeezes his hand softly. "Mmhm." [[next | 4a6]]

(set: $path to "go") "Can we go somewhere else?" Yuuta glances over at Hinata. You don't want to eat here?" "Ah, it's not like that! I trust onii-chan the most, but..." Hinata glances up at the menu in front of him, and for a moment, time blurs. He remembers the first time they'd come here, the work they'd had to do to even have enough cash to have a slice of cake and a pie on the side, and then... "We can go somewhere else." Hinata knows he's being selfish. He can tell Yuuta wanted to surprise him today. "Thank you, onii-chan." [[next | 4a6]]

(if: $path is "stay")[Lunch goes by in a flash. They talk about anything and everything, spending the time along with each other, just as it should be. The cafe really hasn't changed since the last time they'd visited, and Hinata feels blessed that he'd been able to spend time with Yuuta here again like in the past. And what was more important to him than Yuuta's smile? The entire time they'd spent at the restaurant, Yuuta was smiling. And then, at the end of their meal, Yuuta paid for their meal like a true gentleman -- after much blowback from Hinata for doing something silly like that. Hinata doesn't know how to deal with how adorable he is. Genuinely, he truly adores him to pieces.] (else:)[While Yuuta's hand is still warm in Hinata's as they leave the store, Hinata can tell that Yuuta is a little bit upset. Maybe he wanted them to eat there? Or maybe there was something else? Either way, though, they're already standing outside another restaurant -- it's Yuuta's favorite curry place. Hinata glances over at him, and Yuuta starts off again, leading them away from the restaurant. "Did you want to eat there?" "I was just checking out the menu." They end up eating at a small restaurant, where the food is good, but not perfect. Yuuta pays, like a gentleman, and they leave, still talking.] "...and that's what happened." "I see." Yuuta's started to look a little distant, rubbing his thumb gently over the skin of Hinata's hand, aimlessly walking. Hinata hasn't felt the need to bring it up, but he figures that there's something Yuuta wants to say. "Hey, Yuuta-kun." "Mm?" [["What's wrong?"|4a7a]] [["It's nothing."|4a7b]]

(set: $angst to (a:"So Yuuta's got a boyfriend. That's fine with Hinata -- there was no way that they were going to be together, after all.", "This isn't fine. This is the worst. Yuuta's going to leave and not come back and forget about him. But Hinata wonders if this is his penance for loving his brother in this way.")) "What's wrong?" Jackpot. Yuuta starts looking flustered, chewing on his lower lip as Hinata looks at him. He glances away, not meeting Hinata's eyes. Hinata knows //instantly// that something is up, and it's definitely his job as the big brother to find out what it is. "Come on, tell Aniki what's wrong? What kind of big brother would I be if I didn't help you with your problems?" "S-Stop it. It's nothing." "Ooh, is it about a boy? Is my precious Yuuta-kun growing up and leaving the nest? Oh, my heart! I can't take this, I'm going to be so lonely." Yuuta's silence speaks volumes. (link-repeat:"[(print: $angst's 1st)]<text|")[(replace: ?text)[(set: $angst to (rotated: -1, ...$angst))(print: $angst's 1st)]] [[next|4a8a]]

"It's nothing." Yuuta hums, turning his head to him again. He tilts his head, and Hinata tilts back, the perfect mirror. For a moment, there is perfect silence, and then Yuuta snorts, and then starts to laugh, Hinata following close behind as they do so. "What was that for?" "You were looking so serious for once. It's weird to see you so serious." "Hmmm." Hinata smiles, squeezing his hand softly. They're on their way home now, Hinata knows, and then tomorrow will be another day. As their hands swing between them, he wonders if there was more Yuuta wanted to say... ''end: how things could have been.'' [[restart?|continue]]

"Yeah, it's about a boy." Hinata's worst fears come true in a matter of seconds. "Oh? Tell aniki all about him, okay? I want to know the kind of boy that's captured Yuuta-kun's heart." Yuuta's quiet for a //long// while, before he starts to speak again. "Well, he's the same age as me. He's energetic, and bright, and sometimes I look at him and I wonder how I was lucky enough to be with him every day." So someone from school? Someone energetic from their school that's the same age as them... that little ninja kid? Or maybe Mitsuru? "He's got a nice smile, but I don't know whether it's real all the time. And he's nice, and kind, and has always treated me better than I deserve." Someone kind? Who's close enough to Yuuta that he'd say things like this? "And when he thinks I'm not paying attention to him, he gets lost in thought and starts overthinking." "I do not!" Silence. [[next|4a9]]

... "Aniki -- " "No, no, it's not like that. I wasn't thinking that you were talking about //me//, it's just that, the first thought -- " "Aniki." "You probably think I'm disgusting, don't you, that I like you like that, I mean, I don't like you like that, I just want to stay by your side -- " ''"Aniki."'' Hinata grinds to a halt, and at this moment, he realises that they've stopped walking. Yuuta moves in front of him, holding his hands gently, and... And he leans forward to kiss him, softly pressing their lips together without a second word. Hinata makes a squeaking noise not quite unlike a small bird caught in capture, until he starts to melt, relaxing into the kiss. [[next|4a10]]

"I like you too." "Buh?" Before Hinata can clear his thoughts enough to respond to Yuuta, he's already inside the house, the door shutting quietly behind him. "Agh -- hey! Come back here!" As Hinata rushes in after his brother, he can't help feel a weight lifted off of his shoulders. He's at peace -- this had been everything he'd wanted. To be with his brother -- the bare //thought// that he //could//, that Yuuta returned his feelings -- he felt over the moon. The smile on his face is brighter than he's ever thought it could be. ''end: towards tomorrow.'' [[restart?|continue]]

"Hmm, I wonder what day it is ~ " "Don't tease." Yuuta's upset expression makes Hinata giggle, and he reaches out, tugging the other back into bed with him. Lovingly, he presses kisses to the top of his head and his cheeks, squishing him. "I really don't knooow, though. What kind of special day could it be~?" Yuuta frowns, and Hinata laughs, deciding that he's done teasing. "Happy anniversary, Yuuta-kun." "You --! You're awful." "Waaah, don't push me away ~ Come cuddle with onii-chan ~ " [[next|4b2]]

"Happy anniversary, Yuuta-kun!" Yuuta lights up, and Hinata decides, once again, that he wants to see his brother smile like this for the rest of his life. He wants to make sure not a single hair on his head is harmed, that he's happy for the rest of his days. (Of course, he's thought about this before, but when he'd first started humoring thoughts about this sort of thing in his head, he hadn't felt quite like this about Yuuta yet.) "Happy anniversary, Hinata-kun." Hinata's heart flutters in his chest, and he reaches up to tug him close again, nuzzling their cheeks together. "Squiiiiish. I'm never gonna let you go again!" "Eh? Huh? Let go, we'll really be late...!" [[next|4b2]]

With some effort, Yuuta manages to squirm out of Hinata's grip, stretching out a little as he straightens up. He digs his hands into his pockets, and then stares down at Hinata, who's still comfortable in bed. "Hey -- " "Oh, go ahead, Yuuta-kun!" "No, you were talking first." The room elapses briefly into silence, and Hinata rubs the back of his neck aimlessly before opening his mouth to speak again. "Do you have something planned?" "Kind of. When you're ready, meet me by the door." Yuuta ducks out of their shared room, and Hinata watches him as he scuttles out of sight. Hate to see him leave, but love to watch him go. Well, now's just as a good time as any to get ready, so Hinata crawls out of bed to clean up. [[next|4b3]]

It doesn't take either of them very long to get to where they need to be to leave the house. Hinata showers, Yuuta showers -- not at the same time, because they both know that if both of them end up in the shower together... Well, they don't really have to say what comes next, right? Despite this, Hinata finds himself ready long before his brother, waiting aimlessly by the door step. Their cats spin around his legs, purring and nuzzling as they make themselves comfortable. He's loathe to push them away when Yuuta comes. And //oh//, does Yuuta come. Hinata's eyes are drawn to the outfit he's wearing -- it's, frankly, what would be called 'simple', with a buttoned blue shirt and dark slacks, and Hinata blinks at him, as if unable to take in what he's seeing. "Hgh?" "What?" [["You look amazing, Yuuta-kun."|4b4a]] [["Hrnghngn."|4b4b]]

"You look amazing, Yuuta-kun!" Yuuta blushes, a pretty little sight, red spreading over his cheeks. There's no better sight, in Hinata's eyes, than seeing Yuuta get embarrassed over small things like this. He sighs, looking him over again. Yep. Every bit as handsome as he ought to be. "Be quiet...you're embarrassing." "Haha, okay! But it's really true, you know. You're always the cutest!" "I said be //quiet//...!" Too embarrassed to look at him (which is a downright shame), Yuuta grabs his hand and tugs him away. [[next|4b5]]

"Hrnghngn." "What? What is it?" Yuuta looks down at himself, clearly oblivious to the fact that Hinata is having the biggest gay panic of his entire life right now. "Does it look bad?" "No! Of course it doesn't! Yuuta-kun doesn't look bad in anything at all!" Peeved, Yuuta fixes Hinata with a glowering stare. "Then why didn't you just say so? Jeez, I thought I looked like an idiot." "You could //never//." "Now you're just pushing it." Still, as Yuuta takes his hand and leads him out of the house, Hinata swears he can see the hint of a flush on his face. [[next|4b5]]

Yuuta's silent the whole walk. Hinata isn't paying much attention to where they're going, more focused on the feeling of Yuuta's hand in his. His palms are a little sweaty -- is he nervous? Of course, Hinata doesn't really understand why he's so nervous. Surely Yuuta-kun knows that no matter what they end up doing today, he'd be happy, right? He knows that, doesn't he? (Though, he thinks that if he was in Yuuta's position right now, he would feel just as nervous as he does right now.) "Hey, hey, Yuuta-kun." "Huh?" "What are you planning?" Yuuta looks at him like he's stupid, and then immediately alters his gaze to seem less...aggressive. "It's a secret. We're almost there, though." Hinata feels his heart pound faster in his chest. [[next|4b6]]

Yuuta squeezes his hand. "Close your eyes." "Huh?" "Please." Hinata, happy to listen to his brother, especially in moments like this, closes his eyes. For a moment, there's nothing but silence, as they move. [[Peek.|4b7a]] [[Keep his eyes closed.|4b7b]]

(set: $peek to "yes") Hinata opens his eyes just a teeny little bit. There's not much around them, just yet. Just trees. [[Peek a little more.|4b7aa]] [[That's enough peeking.|4b7b]]

(if: $peek is "yes")[Hinata doesn't //really// want to get caught by Yuuta, so he closes his eyes, allowing him to lead him on into the darkness.](elseif: $peek is "too much")[Now that he was caught peeking, Hinata sheepishly closes his eyes again, not wanting to make Yuuta any more upset by doing so. Ahhh, he feels like a terrible aniki for ruining the surprise...](else:)[No, he wants to keep Yuuta's plan secret. That would be the good, brotherly thing to do, right? He keeps his eyes closed, allowing Yuuta to lead him along.] Eventually, Yuuta comes to a stop, and squeezes his hand again. "Okay, aniki. Open your eyes now." Hinata's heart is still pounding a mile a minute, but slowly, carefully -- he opens his eyes. [[next|4b8]]

Hinata's eyes open a little more. Now that his eyes are open, he can see a lot more, now. The trees that they're walking through are decorated with small lights, in soft blue and pink colors. It's a familiar feeling, in his chest, seeing those bright lights. It's cool. He sighs, contented, and suddenly, feels a pair of eyes on him. (set: $roll to (random: 1, 100))(if: $roll <= 50)["We're almost there, aniki." Oh, thank goodness. He didn't seem to catch that he had been peeking at the scenery.](else:)[(set: $peek to "too much")"Were you looking, Aniki?" Ah, shit. He was caught. "...Sorry, Yuuta-kun. I'm too excited to see where you could be taking me." "...It's fine." Shit, now he feels bad.] [[next|4b7b]]

They've come to a clearing, where the sky is shining orange above them. In the middle of the clearing is a small blanket, with a picnic basket sat neatly in the middle of the blanket. The trees around them are colored with their familiar blue and pink, and Hinata feels his chest clench up, but he's not sure what the feeling //is//. Love? Nostalgia? Sadness? Yuuta squeezes his hand, and Hinata decides it's something completely different. It's: [[comfort.|4b9a]] [[happiness.|4b9b]]

Of course it's comfort. There's something oddly comforting, about being in this place, all by themselves, surrounded by the things that they can call their own. "Do you want to sit?" So caught up by his own thoughts, Hinata's almost forgotten about why they came here in the first place. He nods, and Yuuta leads him to the blanket, sitting down together on the softness of it. [[next|4b10]]

It's only natural that it's happiness. He's never felt happier in this moment right now -- knowing, with some slight regret, that Yuuta had gone out of his way to prepare all of this for him. He's happy, so, //so// happy right now. "Do you want to sit?" So caught up by his own thoughts, Hinata's almost forgotten about why they came here in the first place. He nods, and Yuuta leads him to the blanket, sitting down together on the softness of it. [[next|4b10]]

As they make themselves comfortable, Hinata allows himself to lean into Yuuta's warmth, pressing into his shoulder. Yuuta doesn't argue this time, only wrapping his arm around him. "Aniki." he begins, and then goes quiet. "No, that's wrong...Hinata-kun." Hearing his name like that makes his heart flutter. "Mmhm. What is it, Yuuta-kun?" "...Well, I just..." Yuuta's quiet, again. Hinata takes his hand, gently squeezing. "Take your time, Yuuta-kun." "...I just wanted to tell you, Hinata-kun, that...being with you...um, being your boyfriend -- it's been really nice. I mean, it's not that different from every day, because we spend all our time together already, though, but..." "It's different, lately. In a good way, of course. Because we're boyfriends now, we can do different things. Like holding hands, kissing...and, um, you know." Hinata //does// know. [[next|4b11]]

"But that's not really the point, what I'm trying to say is that -- thank you." This is what puzzles Hinata the most. "Why are you thanking me, Yuuta-kun?" "I mean, duh? If you didn't feel the same way as me, or if you disowned me after you had found out that I liked you, then we would never be here." "Yeah, but that's not something you need to be thanking me for? I've always felt this way about you, Yuuta-kun." "Seriously?" Hinata pulls away, leaning back on his hands. His eyes study the sky, looking at the clouds that move across it. The gesture is familiar, but the context is completely different now. "Well, I've loved you for forever. Ever since we were little babies, and just starting to hold hands, or when we were alone together in bed. I just...found out I loved you a different way along the way." Yuuta hums, and Hinata turns to him. [[next|4b12]]

"You're...really stupid, Hinata-kun..." "Ow?! Yuuta-kun?" Yuuta buries his head into Hinata's shoulder, and Hinata doesn't have to see his face to know he's flushing, or to know that he's sniffling away, crying. He turns, shuffling, to wrap his arms around his brother properly. "I love you, Yuuta-kun." "I love you too." For what feels like hours, they just hold each other, as the sky grows darker, and the blue and pink lights turn into beautiful fireflies. At one point, Hinata leans down to kiss him, and Yuuta leans up, sealing their lips together, and they fall back onto the blankets, holding each other, tasting, feeling, not saying a word. Yuuta's the first to break the silence, lying on Hinata's chest. "...You know, the parfait I got for you has definitely melted." "Ehhh?!" ''end: sorry if this looks gay to the fireflies.'' [[restart?|continue]]

The thought of it remains in his head, whirling around in circles as he waits for Yuuta to say something, anything, about the situation. <div class="discord">hinachan: Yuuuuta-kuunnnnn (๑′̥̥̥▵‵̥̥̥ ૂ๑) spycybreeze: You shouldn't be texting me in class. spycybreeze: But what is it? hinachan: You really won't tell me about anything you're planning? 人´∀｀) spycybreeze: Nope. spycybreeze: You're free after school, right? hinachan: Yeah, I am. There's no extra curriculars today. spycybreeze: Then you'll find out then. hinachan: The suspense is killing meee!!! hinachan: I want to know (; w;) hinachan: Yuuta-kun!! </div> Defeated, Hinata puts away his phone, head falling onto his table. [[Try again.|4c2a]] [[Give up for now.|4c3]]

<div class="discord">hinachan: Can you at least give me a hint? spycybreeze: Hinata-kun. </div> Eugh. His heart still falters in his chest whenever he hears Yuuta call him like that. He's been called 'aniki' so much that whenever Yuuta switches it up... And it's totally not fair that Yuuta knows this, too. <div class="discord">hinachan: Ooh, you're not fair at all! ( ͒˃̩̩⌂˂̩̩ ͒) spycybreeze: See you after school. </div> It looks like whatever Yuuta had planned is locked up tight in that pretty brain of his. [[next|4c3]]

There's no use in trying to squeeze anything more out from Yuuta, Hinata knows, so he can only wait. School seems to crawl by, even during the moments where he can see him, stealing kisses behind lockers and holding hands wherever they go. And when finally, //finally//, the school bell rings, Hinata launches himself out of class and straight to the entrance. Yuuta's already there waiting for him. "There wasn't any need to rush." "If you weren't so mysterious, I wouldn't have rushed!" Hinata wants to be mad at him, but there's no way that's possible, considering the smile on his face. God -- it's almost embarrassing to be so weak to Yuuta's every desire, but since Hinata's the big brother here, he doesn't mind at all. "Follow me." Yuuta takes his hand, and off they go, without another word. (Hinata will feel sorry about not saying a proper goodbye to Sora, though, but he knows Sora can tell something is up.) [[next|4c4]]

Hinata recognises the bus from the second he sees it, with the familiar silhouette of The Mouse on the windows. "Yuuta-kun -- " "We're only going to spend half a day, since we had school. That's okay, right?" "Y-Yuuta-kun.." Hinata doesn't even know how to begin to express his feelings. Yuuta leads him up onto the bus to take a seat amongst the tourists, and Hinata's...speechless. How did he get the money to do this? Why? What was so special about today that they were going to //Tokyo Disneyland// of all places? "Yuuta-kun -- " "I've been saving up my half." He sounds a little sheepish. "I've...been planning this for a while." "Uuuu..." Never in his life would he have imagined this sort of treat, especially from his Yuuta-kun. He's the one who's supposed to be spoiling him, damn it... [[next|4c5]]

Still. As the bus rolls on to its destination, Yuuta keeps a firm hold of his hand, and Hinata doesn't want to bring himself to let go, either. He's happy -- ridiculously so. As if he wasn't happy enough going on a date with Yuuta-kun! Because that's what this is -- a date, it has to be a date. No wonder Yuuta was so nervous! Hinata feels a little comforted, squeezing his hand, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have questions. [["Is this a date, Yuuta-kun?"|4c6a]] [["Why Disneyland?"|4c6b]] [["How long have you been planning this for?"|4c6c]]

"Is this a date, Yuuta-kun?" The question is soft, not really wanting to draw attention to themselves amongst the excited tourists, but the flush on Yuuta's face is almost enough answer for Hinata, who inches closer to him. "Something like that," he mumbles. "Why are you asking?" Heh heh. That's enough answer for him. His adorable Yuuta planned a date for the two of them. [["Why Disneyland?"|4c6b]] [["How long have you been planning this for?"|4c6c]] [[That's enough questions.|4c7]]

"Why Disneyland?" Yuuta looks a little surprised at the choice of question. He tilts his head, quite like a lost dog, and then shrugs. "It was the only real high class amusement park I could think of." "You know, I would have been happy going to a really simple tiny amusement park with no rides, right?" "Really?" Well, //yes//, but Hinata wouldn't say no to going to Disneyland. "Going anywhere with you is fun, Yuuta-kun! This won't happen, since you're absolutely going to heaven, but if you were going to hell, and I, somehow, was going to heaven, I'd rip off my wings and join you in an instant, you know!" "You always say weird things like that..." [["Is this a date, Yuuta-kun?"|4c6a]] [["How long have you been planning this for?"|4c6c]] [[That's enough questions.|4c7]]

"How long have you been planning this for?" Yuuta goes red, and Hinata can make the educated guess that it's been at least a month or two in the works. "Let's change the subject." God, he's adorable. Hinata feels some sense of pride at making him so embarrassed that he wouldn't answer his question. [["Is this a date, Yuuta-kun?"|4c6a]] [["Why Disneyland?"|4c6b]] [[That's enough questions.|4c7]]

Having asked all his questions, Hinata settles back in his seat, playing with Yuuta's fingers between his own. The bus ride passes in almost an instant, Hinata's excitement almost overtaking him fully as the bus comes to a stop. It all feels like a blur -- one second, they're sitting in the bus, and the next, they're past the gates, still in their school uniforms, holding their school bags, staring down at a map. "We might only have time to visit two areas today. Where did you want to go?" "What do //you// want to do, Yuuta-kun?" At the question, Yuuta's face scrunches up, in a way that makes Hinata struggle not to want to kiss his nose. If only there weren't so many people around, then he would have done it in seconds. "Today isn't about me. I'm going to use your own words against you -- anywhere you go, I want to be." Curse his gay heart. "..Then, I want to go to -- " [["The World Bazaar."|4cwb]] [["Adventureland."|4cal]] [["Westernland."|4cwl]] [["Critter Country."|4ccc]] [["Fantasyland."|4cfl]] [["Tomorrowland."|4ctl]] (set: $count to 0) (set: $worldbazaar to "no") (set: $adventureland to "no") (set: $westernland to "no") (set: $crittercountry to "no") (set: $fantasyland to "no") (set: $tomorrowland to "no")

(set: $count to it +1) (set: $worldbazaar to "yes") The World Bazaar, Hinata thinks, is like a glorified shopping mall. With stores lining the sides, and cafes and restaurants here and there -- yeah, it certainly feels like a glorified shopping mall. Still, there's something oddly domestic about browsing the shelves with Yuuta right beside him, holding out cutesy Mickey and Minnie ears, and having snacks at one of the cafes. Yuuta orders him a parfait to make up for the one time he'd let his parfait melt, and Hinata instantly forgives him of any sin he had committed in the past, and any sin he will commit in the future. At this moment, they find themselves shopping for souvenirs, wondering whether they should take anything back for their friends. "Yuuta-kun, Yuuta-kun." "What is it?" Hinata holds up a plush toy of Stitch, waving him around with a bright smile on his face. "Isn't he cute?" "Yeah, he is cute. Do you want him?" "Yuuta-kun, as if I could let you pay for more things today! You already bought the tickets!" Still, the Stitch is picked up out of his hands. "Let me spoil you today." Hinata's //just// distracted enough by that, that Yuuta manages to sneak off and buy him the plush toy anyway.

It's become dark already, and Hinata tilts his head at him. Was it already time to go home? "Come with me." "Are we heading back already?" "Not yet. There's one more thing I want to do with you." Hinata's heart flutters in his chest again, and he nods, letting him lead him on. [[next|4c9]]]

(set: $count to it +1) (set: $adventureland to "yes") Going to Adventureland is like taking a step into the jungle. It's not too unfamiliar a feeling, to be honest, after that time they'd spent in the desert, but it's a lot more pleasant. "Do you want to go on the cruise ride? It should still be bright enough that we can enjoy it." "I //do//! Yuuta-kun knows me so well!" It's only natural, though. Just like Hinata knows everything about Yuuta, Yuuta knows [everything]<all| about Hinata, as well. []<alltext| (click: ?all)[(replace:?alltext)[(//Even the things that Hinata tries to keep hidden, the things he hopes Yuuta never has to find out about, Yuuta discovered, bit by bit, page by page, until Hinata's lying like an open book in front of him, vulnerable.

One day, Hinata thinks, they'll go on a proper cruise together, and be able to spend all the time they want running around the halls of the ship. Just like that one American show about the twins in a cruise, too.

(set: $count to it+1) (set: $westernland to "yes") "I feel like I'm in America." "You know America isn't //really// like this, right?" "Yep!" Hinata clings onto Yuuta's arm, anyway, pressing his cheek against his shoulder with a contented little sigh. Yuuta rolls his eyes, but makes no move to push him off, which is a big step in Hinata's book. He nuzzles into him a little more. "You know, Yuuta-kun, there's a rollercoaster here." "Right, there is." "Let's go ride it?" Yuuta gives him a Look, one that he can't quite read just yet, but he knows from the smile he's struggling to hide that it means something like 'as if you had to ask'. The photo they buy when the rollercoaster is over will stay in Hinata's heart long after the photo turns sepia and fades away.

(set: $count to it +1) (set: $crittercountry to "yes") If it wasn't the evening, Hinata would have dragged Yuuta straight to Splash Mountain -- but the idea of being cold and wet throughout the night isn't that appealing to him. Of course, the thought vanishes in almost seconds when he feels Yuuta start to lead them towards the attraction, his eyes alight. "Yuuta-kun." "Mmhm?" "It's almost 6pm." "Yeah?" "We're going to get really wet." "If you're worried about being cold, I can, um...buy you a hoodie from the store later." "...Yuuta-kun, when did you become so dependable?" "I learned from a great teacher." Oh, damn everything that stops Hinata from leaning over to kiss him. (Yuuta buys Hinata a nice warm hoodie after the ride. It's a shade of blue that almost matches his image color. Hinata complains that if only it was a little brighter, then it would be perfect, and Yuuta thinks Hinata looks great in blue -- and even better in nothing at all.)

(set: $count to it +1) (set: $fantasyland to "yes") The first step into Fantasyland is only the first step towards the teacups. Hinata's always wanted to ride these sorts of rides, and Yuuta has mentioned it a couple of times himself. There's nothing more fun, after all, than spinning around, and around, and around, bumping into Yuuta's side, laughing as they speed around like wildfire. And truly, there's nothing better than seeing Yuuta's face, alight with laughter, knowing that his face is exactly the same, when they're catching their breath after the ride comes to a stop. The way Yuuta's hair falls in his face, chest heaving, still laughing -- and when their eyes meet, and Hinata knows Yuuta's thinking the same thing about him. They get off the ride when the ride manager yells at them, laughing and apologising profusely.

(set: $count to it +1) (set: $tomorrowland to "yes") Now, if Hinata isn't a sucker for rollercoasters. Of course, even though they're cut from similar cloth, Hinata wouldn't really mind if Yuuta didn't want to go on Space Mountain, but it seemed that Yuuta was just as interested as he was. "I saw some videos about it on YouTube," Yuuta admits, when they're in the line. "I wanted to ride it, but..." "Aw, are you nervous?" Yuuta doesn't say anything, but Hinata smiles, squeezing his hand gently. "Don't worry. Hold on tight to my hand, and don't let go, and we'll be okay." "Like I would let go at a time like this." What Yuuta doesn't say, but Hinata understands, is that he won't let go of his hand ever again. The ride is fantastic, even though Yuuta does freak himself out before they get in the car, and hold so tight to his hand that he thinks he's probably broken a bone, but it's worth it.

Hinata's heart flutters in his chest again, and he nods, letting him lead him on. [[next|4c9]]]

If Hinata remembers right, it's about time for the fireworks to start, but instead of finding a place to sit down, Yuuta leads him up to the ferris wheel in Fantasyland. Everyone's getting ready to see the fireworks, so almost no one's in line for the wheel, and they make their way onto the attraction in almost seconds, settling themselves on one of the cars. Hinata looks out from the side, over the amusement park, and smiles, remembering all the fun they'd had today. (if: $worldbazaar is "yes")[The time they'd spent shopping and eating, and the Stitch plush that sits currently in his bag.] (if: $adventureland is "yes")[The jungle cruise they'd went on, and their dreams for the future.] (if: $westernland is "yes")[The rollercoaster they rode, and the way they seem to just know each other so well, so easily.] (if: $crittercountry is "yes")[The warmth of the hoodie around his shoulders, and the way his wet clothes still haven't properly dried yet.] (if: $fantasyland is "yes")[The vertigo from the teacups that hasn't yet worn off, along with the urge to lean over and kiss him.] (if: $tomorrowland is "yes")[The way his hand still hurts just a little from the way Yuuta held on a little too tight during Space Mountain.] "Hinata-kun." "What is it?" "I have something to ask you." [[next|4c10]]

There's something worrying about the way this question is phrased, but Hinata can't quite seem to place it. He swallows, meets Yuuta's eyes, and sees the way he's fidgeting in his seat. He's nervous. Is this something bad? "What is it?" "Well...I know...that it's pretty likely we won't date anyone else." "...Right?" That was a given for Hinata. As if he would ever feel the same way about anyone else as the way he feels about Yuuta. He would forever be the only one for him... ...wait. There's no way. [[next|4c11]]

"I was thinking, Hinata-kun. I know that there's no way I'd want to spend my time romantically with anyone else." No. There's no way. "And we're still young, so maybe things will change in the future, but..." This is //impossible//. There's no way Yuuta can pull this kind of thing on him, in this place. "But, if you wanted to, maybe...we could promise ourselves to each other?" When Hinata brings his world back into focus, Yuuta's holding out a ring. It's not even in a box -- it's just a ring, held out in his hand like he was offering him a potato chip or something. Hinata blinks. [["Yes."|4c12a]] [["...We shouldn't."|4c12b]]

Of course. Of course, Yuuta has to go and pull the most ridiculous, most //romantic// thing that Hinata has ever seen in his life at this moment, where they're just about to reach the peak of the ferris wheel. "I would never say no to you," Hinata says, and Yuuta's face breaks into the widest smile he thinks he's ever seen. The car shakes as Yuuta pitches forward, pressing his lips to his, where no one can see, or care, at the top of the wheel. Out of his peripheral vision, Hinata thinks he can see the fireworks go off, but he doesn't care at all, now, instead feeling the fireworks light in his chest as Yuuta kisses him, slipping the ring on his finger as he does so. As the ride starts to descend, Yuuta pulls away, looking down at the ring on Hinata's finger. "You have a matching one, right?" "Here it is." Yuuta hands it over, and Hinata takes his hand, gently sliding it on his finger. "You're never getting rid of me." "Why would I want to?" They laugh, content, and for that moment, as their car comes to a stop at the bottom, and the fireworks light up behind them, they are completely at peace -- without a care in the world to what anyone thinks of them. Whatever it may be, whatever the world throws at them, Hinata and Yuuta will be together forever, and that is how this story should end. ''end: and they lived happily ever after.'' [[restart?|continue]]

...Hinata wants to. He wants to be promised to Yuuta, more than anything else in the world, but... For something like this, he doesn't want to ruin Yuuta's life. What if they become promised to each other, and then one day, Yuuta decides he doesn't want to be with him anymore? Knowing Yuuta, he would never say anything, and suffer in silence. Hinata can't let Yuuta do this to himself, but... There's something in Yuuta's eyes that makes him think that maybe, truly, he wants to be with him forever. [[Rethink it and say yes.|4c12a]] [[Stick to your guns and say no.|4c13b]]

"...We shouldn't." Yuuta's face falls, and almost immediately, Hinata wants to hold his hands and say that he does want to, that he wants to marry him, that he wants to be by his side for forever, but he doesn't want to ruin his precious twin for the rest of his life. "...I see." It hurts. They've reached the top of the wheel, now, and the fireworks are starting to go off around them. Yuuta doesn't say anything as the ride descends, and continues to remain quiet on the bus ride back. Hinata wishes he could say something, //anything//, to try to explain himself, but he feels like his words are caught up in spiderwebs, pulling him further and further into his despair as he thinks about it. Nothing really changes, and soon enough, Yuuta's back to normal, but Hinata knows that he's pulled away. Maybe this was for the best. Maybe now, Yuuta could be normal, and no longer ostracised by a society that already hated them from the start. Hinata thinks it's fine, as long as Yuuta is safe. ''end: no matter what, i still love you.'' [[restart?|continue]]
