Chapter 10: Painting

It is now 2 am and Ito is finished with the painting. Tired and full of paint Ito stumbles to leave his studio. As he gets to the door he suddenly feels dizzy and then proceeds to pass out on the floor. As this is happening Shawn is I their dorms getting Ito's present ready. Shawn wrapped Ito's present in kitty wrapping paper. All pretty and neat. Then he went to bed and fell asleep as he lied down. Snug in his bed Shawn dreamed of Ito and him finally together. He dreamed of them as a couple holding hands and kissing under the mistletoe on Christmas. Shawn later woke up to the dorm door opening and slamming shut. Ito walks in covered in paint and snow, holding onto a medium black bag. He shakes off the extra snow and strips of his painted clothing. He stands in front of the door in his boxers shivering from the cold. "I'm gonna take a shower." He says before getting his clothes and running into his bathroom. Shawn hears him turn the shower on and then finally hears the door shut. Shawn takes this opportunity to get himself ready and clean their dorm. When Ito is finished showering, he is greeted by the smell of waffles and Earl Grey tea. Ito was aroused by the smell and followed the smell. He sees Shawn dressed in a kitty onesie. Ito's heart skipped a beat. Shawn looked so cute and fluffy in his onesie. He must have just recently got it because Ito has never seen him wearing it. Ito is still only wearing his boxers and has a towel around his neck. Shawn finally turned around to put the waffles on the table and saw Ito staring at him. "How was your shower." He says with a smile. "Fine, I guess." Ito says with confusion. Who was Shawn dressed like this? It's not normal or at least Ito didn't think it was normal. "You should get dressed before you eat. I put something for you to wear on your bed." Ito walks to his bed and sees a black, fuzzy onseie. It was like his except, Shawn's was yellow. "Is this for me?" "Yup it's all yours, I saw it and thought of you instantly." Shawn walks over to Ito with a smile on his face. "Do you need help putting it on?" Shawn asks. "Ah... no I can do it by myself. Thanks for asking though." "Well if you need help I'll be sitting at the table eating breakfast." Shawn walks back to the kitchen area and sits at the table, getting it ready for them to eat. Ito puts on the onseie and walks to the kitchen and sits down across from Shawn and begins to eat. As they are eating Shawn asks Ito a question. "This might be very rude of me and you don't have to answer me if you don't feel comfortable with answering but, are you Gay?" Ito's face goes red and Shawn notices how embarrassed Ito now is. "I'm sorry for asking. I only asked because ... well never mind it's not important." Shawn goes quiet and stuffs his face with waffles. Even though Ito is embarrassed by Shawn's question, Ito feels this is his only chance he'll get to tell him his feelings about him. "Yes." Ito says in a whisper. "What?" Shawn says in confusion. "I am gay. I like guy's. Why? What did you want to ask me?" Now Shawn goes red and he can feel his heart starting to race.
