{ This was originally going to be called " I don't know what I want, but I know I want you", but it came off as repetitive, and too long for me- }  

The hissing click of the fire had faded in a few seconds, which left the two hunters in the darkness of the night. Their only light source being the sliver of the moon in the sky. It was especially cloudy that day, so there were barely any stars as well. The air oddly felt clean in this environment. The overarching trees were very thin so they didn't really cover much of anything in their branches. Owls occasionally filling the void with sound, as well as grasshoppers. The breeze was slowly growing into chilling howls of nearly freezing air. One could see one's breath if they were to breath. A human with a more lanky figure would probably quickly get overwhelmed by all these forces of making sleeping uncomfortable. 

Gentle rustling could be heard from the taller man. He was shifting occasionally in his thin blanket, trying his best to warm his body up somehow, or in someway. His hair kept getting in the way as he was moving around, because he would keep laying on it. He wanted to curse at himself. He couldn't though, because his crush was easily snoring away in his many layers of clothes. Even letting out gentle snores to show how relaxed he was. The taller male huffed lightly, and finally just sat up realizing he wouldn't be getting any sleep soon. His raccoon eyes were probably gonna get worse after this night, but he couldn't convince mother nature to warm up to him. Even with a hundred prayers, he couldn't convince the wind to change. His eyes twitched looking at his teacher in full comfort. Damn bastard convinced him to follow him on a quest to help an endangered species of bird, but to have only lead him the wrong way. The two would be going back to the original path tomorrow. Ging had simply labeled it as extra muscle building, which slightly peeved Kite off.

Kaito's lanky legs, and arms pushed him off the ground. He stood up with a light stretch. He left his cap on the ground under the blanket. The younger man let out a sigh of tiredness, and he was needing something as well. During most of that day of indirect hiking, his mouth had been dry. He quietly collected what he needed to collect river water, and purify it as well. He scurried away shivering slightly, and returned about fifteen minutes later pretty satisfied with a drop of water on his pointy chin. He rubbed it off with his white fluffy sleeve, and he went to go back to his resting spot for the night. Just to see if he could at least get a minute of shut eye. He was taken a back to see the other male, curled up in his blanket in addition to his own. Even in his sleep, he was a bit selfish. 

But what caught his attention even more was that the smaller man was hugging his cap as well. Why was he doing that? Had he sensed the other leave? Did Ging find his scent comforting? Kaito delicately walked his way over the rest of the way, and sat in front of the other tying to figure out how he could take his rightful blanket back. His eyes softened though. He hadn't been snoring that much as before, and he looked quite peaceful. Almost enough to make the other's heart flutter. What was thinking? There's no way Ging would be okay with his subject starting to crush on him. The skinner one shook his head, and his hair gently swayed with it.

" Ya know you should tell me if ya leave for a bit.."

Ging's eyes barely open, but enough to process things. He looked half asleep, but he was aware that his friend did leave his side.

Kite's eyes instantly fluttered back open wide when he heard his tired deep voice. Him jumping back an inch by it.

"M-My Apologies!.."

He whispered yelled, and made sure to give Ging eye contact. To the other, it looked creepy having this tall figure look over him with his poor raccoon eyes, and his beak of a nose. Just staring, and he had gotten odd vibes from it. But now it was all quiet again. Ging's body rolled over, and he left the other's blanket open. Kaito quickly snatched it because feeling this air against any part of his bare skin was too much. He felt around, but still didn't have his cap back.

" Give it back please.."

The lanky man's voice becoming just a bit more stern to warn Ging before he went off again how he would take his stuff without permission. It wasn't even tools, or food. It was always his clothes.

" I have too?.. I'll be shivering without it.."

Ging grumbled away an excuse, and clinched onto the hat tighter than before. Holding it tight to his chest. Quite odd behavior. As if he loved it.

" Oh shut up, you were sleeping just fine without it.." The other crawled on his knees towards the other, and shook him softly. He didn't want to make the smaller man peeved off with him because he didn't get good sleep. That would be a bad day for everyone. But for crying out loud, that was his hat!

" That's not what I meant though.. It reminds me of you..You keep me warm.."

The smaller gremlin grumbled more, and buried the hat in his arms pretty deep. The taller man lightly huffed, and walked to the other side of him. Ging rebelled flipping his body over, and over again looking a lot like a kid trying to keep a toy away from their younger sibling. There was a sudden pain on Kaito's scalp, and he could feel his hair being tugged by the other. It was intense as well, so this wasn't just play fighting. When moving some of his hair to see, he saw the smaller one having a firm grip on his shiny hair.

"L-Let go!" Kite wasn't really expecting Ging to take this route of attention. The other just had a small smile, and his grip suddenly became immense but only for a second to get the job done. Kaito's hair was still in place, but his body was laying like a doll on the ground. He was confused beyond belief by this point. What did Ging want from him? It wasn't like he hurt him, but it was all such strange behavior. Kite blinked a few times now feeling weight against his chest. He looked down, and saw the other nicely curled up, and his head on his chest. In Kaito's situation, he was the warmest thing he ever felt that night. It felt so comforting having him this close to his body. Ging is a very tricky puzzle to figure out, but if he likes you enough, he'll cuddle with you without your permission. Kite could feel his cheeks growing an unfamiliar warmth, and as well with the rest of his body. Too warm.

The smaller man reached up, and placed his little cap back on his head. He gave an awkwardly loving pat as well on Kite's forehead. It was so peaceful for a few seconds, until something dawned on him that should've been obvious from the start. No matter how many times it went through his mind, Kaito didn't want to process that thought.

" You could have just asked me to..to lay down next to you.." The paler man puffed his cheeks wondering if his scalp was okay.

" That would've been boringgg.." Ging's voice dragged on like a child would drag their voice when they wanted something. His late night behavior was totally a contrast to his day stern quiet self. It was like as if the smaller one really liked affection, but could never admit that in an awake state of mind.

" I think consent is more important.." He gently complained, but didn't let move, or try to nudge his body away from the other. Kaito also had to admit he had been starved of affection for a pretty long while, so he wanted more of Ging's heat. He was concerned though. In the smaller man's position, he could probably hear Kaito's heartbeat slowly, but surely growing with pace. He would be asked about this soon, or at least Kite thought. His warm spiky hair rubbed against the sweater the other had on, and Kite's cheeks were starting to flush up completely. For someone so shy, and oblivious to romantic feelings, damn was his heart just beating quicker, and quicker.

" Eh?" The older man lightly looked up at the other again, once feeling the pounding in the taller man's chest. One of his eyebrows were raised with slight confusion, but it didn't seem to bother him too much. The skinner man's eyes were wide with some amount of fear of Ging finding this out. But it wasn't like he could hide it forever, right?

It took a second of blinking for Mr.Freecss before he put it all together.

"Huh,....You're weird, but I feel the same way, dork. Don't think I'll go easy on you in training just because of this though.."

Ging reassured the other in an odd manner, but in the best way he knew how. Ging had never been well with communicating with feelings, but he wanted his student to feel better after coming out to him. Sorta coming out but hey, what can ya do? The older man had witnessed with his own eyes how badly gay people could be treated just for being who they were. He could never understand why people would beat each other up for such a stupid reason.

" G-Ging! I'm so sorry..." The shyer man pleaded with his deep soft voice being slightly muffled by his cap.

" Hey, look here.." Ging moved up a bit, and looked the other right in his lovely almond eyes. He put one of his rough hands gently across Kaito's smooth pale cheek, and held it. Then the other.

He could feel the other's chest beating so hard out of nervousness, and flushed feelings. Whether or not Kite would like it, Ging brought their lips closer, and closer. Until a soft collide between them.

Now the older man had experience with this kinda thing, while Kaito was still questioning his sexuality, and had never felt this way for someone in his whole life. Steam was almost practically pouring out of his red ears. Poor guy. This was too much. Way too much. He felt way too vulnerable, and he wanted the other away from him for a moment. Kite didn't know how to handle the emotion flustered. He felt like he was gonna explode. How long had they been kissing now?! Even if it was for a few seconds, it was still too much.

" The HELL?!" Ging's grouchy voice barked loudly after being sent a foot away by a punch. It wasn't a very good punch because of Kite's position, but it was still pretty damn strong. The shorter man rubbed his bruised cheek, and sat up. Kaito's pupils narrowed finally processing all of what he had done to the other. His breathing clenched up.

" Do you want me or not?" Ging impatiently asked while lightly glaring at the other.

" If you're not gonna talk-" The other was stopped by a mountain of apologies from the other, and Kaito quickly went over to the other.

" G-Ging! I'm so Sorry! Sorry- Please, I didn't know what to do! s-sorry, I'm sorr-" The taller man went on while he checked everything of the other to make sure he was alright.

" KaitO! It's okay, shut up! We can try again." He laid back down on the grass wanting the other to join.

Kaito's klutzy body let himself back on the earths surface, and he awkwardly positioned himself back with the other. So warm.

But stinky.

They kissed a few more times without Kite punching the hell out of Ging.

It felt so nice. The taller man was eventually able to pass out because he was just really tired, and because Ging was so close to him.

The older one stroked Kaito's hair as he drifted off into sleep too.
