MiriTama: a kiss as encouragement
___
"I think I'm going to go sick-"
Mirio's tone is cheerful. Almost playful, but a single look at his face tells Tamaki he is not kidding. It looks like he's about to pass out.
Not that Tamaki can blame him. They're about to take UA's+

way to Tamaki's house to make sure he didn't pretend to be sick to avoid showing up to the exam. His best friend had gone as far as to get into Tamaki's room, refusing to leave for the exam until Tamaki begrudgingly got out of bed.
But now the practical exam is about to start, and it seems Mirio's endless enthusiasm has hit its first wall.

stands on the tips of his toes and plants a soft kiss on Mirio's cheek.
The skin is soft under his lips, and impressivelywarm. It get red the second Tamaki pulls back, his best friend staring at him with a new, completely different kind of nerves.

Tamaki swallows hard, feeling his own cheeks go red. His hands play with the hem of his jersey, but they're not shaking. He feels stable; secure; probably more than ever before in his life.

and speaks again, a tiny smile coming to his face, "we're- coming to UA. Together."
It sounds lame, even to his ears. A pale copy of the words Mirio's been cheering him on for a year now.
But it seems to do the trick.

Mirio's face opens into a smile shinier than a million suns. His hand reaches blindly, somehow (always) finding Tamaki's hand on the air.

the first time Tamaki has said it too. And it feels sweet, and soft in his lips. The middle point between a dream and a promise. A promise between Mirio and him.

the moment they absolutely /have to/ separate. Together. /Together/.
Tamaki shakes his head, a frown of the most absolute concentration replacing the fear on his face.
Now he'll have to pass this damn exam.
