Chapter Text
Soma felt like the luckiest guy in the world right now. And that was because he was currently cuddling with his long-time rival, who also became his boyfriend for three months. They were currently at the Aldini apartment, sitting on Takumi’s bed while watching a movie. The blond was comfortably sitting on Soma’s lap, leaning back against his boyfriend’s broad chest. He felt the red head wrap his arms around his waist to pull him even closer. By the time the movie ended, Takumi stood up to put away the empty bowl of popcorn, smirking at Soma’s pout of having to separate from his arms.
The two wanted to keep their relationship a secret, enjoying the thrill of nobody else knowing except for Isami and Megumi (Who accidentally walked in on the couple making out in the apartment kitchen by accident.) So when they’re alone together like this, the two rivals tend to be clingier towards the other, savoring the moments where they only get this time to themselves.
“Hurry back!” Soma playfully demanded. Takumi glared at him, suddenly offended by the rude remark, “Hmph, so impatient!”
“I’m going to freeze to death without your warmth! I’m dying! Help Takumi! Hurry!” Soma exclaimed. Falling on the bed with dramatic fashion. When Takumi returned, he can’t help but let out a fond chuckle seeing his idiot trying to reach out to him, pretending to be on the verge of death. Soma reached out to cup his boyfriend’s face when Takumi leaned to hover over him a bit, “Takumi…There’s s-something I need…to tell you.”
The blond just hummed, smirking.
“Takumi…Take care of Diner Yukihira for me…and…I..I love..y-y-“ Right before he could finish, Soma dropped his arm, closing his eyes, playing dead.
“Seriously? You couldn’t even finish?” Takumi rolled his eyes. But was startled when Soma suddenly gasped, “I..I love…”
The Aldini stared at his rival expectantly, “Yes?”
“I…love…cooking...ugh” Then he rolled his head back, his tongue sticking out to the side.
“Are you seriously not going to say that you love me before you die!?!” Takumi whined.
“You watch too many romance films, Kumi." Soma laughed at his boyfriend. Can’t help but find him insanely adorable when he gets all moody. But he suddenly resumed his act, “B-but…the only way to save me…is a k-kiss…from the one… I love. Ugh.” He played dead again and Takumi laughed which made Soma’s heart flutter, never tired of listening to the sound of it. Playing along, Takumi leaned down and kissed his boyfriend’s lips. He expected Soma to wake up as if he’s cured but the red head’s eyes were still closed. This confused him and leaned forward to kiss his lips again for longer. It was hard for Soma not to smile or respond to those delicious lips but he wanted to push the Italian’s buttons more so he stayed “dead”
When Takumi pulled back, Soma didn’t move an inch. He said that a kiss from the one he loves would revive him…unless he doesn’t- “HEY YUKIHIRA!”
No response
“Are you serious right now!” The Italian huffed and was about to walk away before laughter was heard from behind him. He felt a hand grab his and pull him backwards to the arms of his supposedly “dead” boyfriend who apparently “didn’t love him.”
“Aaw I was just kidding, Kumi! Hey! I was kidding!” Soma grinned, trying to keep hold on Takumi who was trying to pry off his arms from him. The red head was enjoying the blush that was painted on his boyfriend’s face with a little laugh, “Kumi, I was kidding! Hahaha! I love you, ok? I wouldn’t have confessed to you three months ago if I didn’t love you, right? My adorable little Kumi.”
“S-shut up! Shut up, Yukihira! Don’t talk to me from now on!”
The Aldini wouldn’t stop squirming so Soma had no choice but to place multiple kisses on his lover’s face to cheer him up. Always works.
“You chill now, Kumi?” Soma chuckled, staring at the blushing tsundere with so much adoration. Takumi still gets taken aback every time his boyfriend gives him that look of love, thinking that he doesn’t deserve it in the first place. So he doesn’t fight it any longer and sighed, “Yeah…” Shy all of the sudden.
Soma felt Takumi relax in his hold and started playing with his fingers when he remembered something, “We almost got caught today because of you. What was that about!” Takumi said turning to face his boyfriend.
“But they were all up on your face! It’s like your fan club has no clue what personal space is! The nerve of them to lay their hands on you.” Soma pouted which made the Italian coo at the expression and tapped his chin a few times, “That doesn’t mean you get to harshly tug me to you, amore mio. I was about to tell them off until you “gently” interrupted! Did you see how confused they were? Now they’re probably suspicious.”
The First Seat just hummed, “Well at least they’ll back off now. There’s only one chef in this world that can tease you, kiss you, cuddle you, cook for you, make your favorite mushroom risotto for you, touch you, fuc-“
“Ok! Ok Soma!” The Second Seat slapped a hand on his mouth before he could finish while Soma just cackles from behind. The both of them recalled the story in their heads in amusement.
(Earlier in the day)
Soma’s final class just ended and the First Seat was on his way to Takumi’s last class. It should end right about now. He was excited to walk home with him and finally spend more time with the Second Seat after a painfully long week of barely seeing each other due to classes, Elite 10 duties and trying to hide their relationship from the public. The downside about their relationship being a secret was that in the eyes of the public, Takumi Aldini was still single. And the scene that showed up in front of Yukihira’s eyes got him fuming. Takumi’s class did end and there was the Italian beauty, talking to a bunch of girls from his fan club. Soma’s eyes narrowed on two of the girls’ whose hands were resting on his boyfriend’s shoulder and clinging to his other arm. The sight infuriated Soma.
“Takumi-san, won’t you show us how to make the delicious pizza you made in class earlier?”
“Oh! Please teach us how to make your raspberry coulee panacotta!”
“Takumi-san, I made you some cannoli from my class earlier.”
Takumi felt a sweat drop but he kept his stance like a gentleman and smiled, “Thank you, guys. But I best be going now.”
This only resulted to groans and whines from the girls which annoyed Soma. Sheesh, talk about desperation.
The girl that was clinging onto his arm blinked innocently at the chef she admired, “Aw please, Takumi-san. It’s the end of the week and I’ve wanted to talk to you about something important later. I-I want to be honest about my feelings and-“
Oh, hell no. Soma cleared his throat, a lot louder than necessary, which absolutely caught their attention. All that was running through Takumi’s head upon seeing the deadly expression of his boyfriend was Oh Dio. Perché ora. Please don’t do anything stupid.
“Hey…What is going on here?” The tone in Soma’s voice was enough to bring shivers down everyone’s spine out of dread. The Italian tried to calm his stubborn boyfriend down by raising his hand to signal for him to wait, “Soma, I was just-“ but one of his fangirls interrupted him, “Takumi-san is going to teach us more about Italian cuisine later!”
An eye twitched from Soma and he slowly stalked closer to the group, an aura of intimidation around him, “Well that’s too bad because Takumi and I already had plans! So if you don’t mind, kindly get your filthy hands off of him.” His smile was far from friendly at this point and most of the girls were cowering except for a few persistent ones like the girl who was planning on telling Takumi her true feelings later, “Excuse me, Yukihira-san, but it’s important for Takumi-san to join me later.” She only hugged his arm closer to her and that snapped something in Soma.
The red head boy grabbed Takumi’s other hand and tugged him towards him. The Italian yelped in surprised, his expression flabbergasted when he hits his rival’s broad chest. It went unnoticed by Soma who smugly replied, “Sorry not sorry, ladies. But you’re not allowed to do that anymore. Now if you will excuse us, Takumi and I have a cooking battle to do! Right, Kumi?”
Needless to say, Takumi was shocked. His boyfriend only calls him that pet name when they’re alone but now that he blurted it out in front of his fan club, the situation might garner suspicion, “S-Soma!” He didn’t get to finish because his boyfriend took his hand and ran towards the school exit.
(End of flashback)
“Who knew how much of the jealous type you are.” Takumi smirked, secretly loving how possessive his boyfriend is. He adjusted to completely face Soma, still sitting on his lap.
“Well, what can I say. I get overprotective of what’s mine.” Soma wrapped his arms around his boyfriend’s waist, snaking his hands near his ass until it was slapped by the blonde who had an eyebrow raised at his actions. The cat-eyed boy just laughed and even the blue eyed chef can’t hold back the small blush from his cheeks.
“Do you think it’s time to let everyone know about…us?” Takumi contemplated.
“Hmm…Yeah. I’m down. I just want to show you off to everyone. So that they can quit touching you with their filthy hands and getting all up in your face like ‘Oh Takumi-san, you’re so handsome! Oh Takumi-san, I baked you some croissants because I like you!’” Soma mocked Takumi’s fangirls with an exaggerated high pitch voice, not feeling remorse at all. The blond shouldn’t even find this funny because his fanclub are people who look up to him but he can’t stop the bubbling laughter at Soma's impression. The red head followed after, the diner duo tumbling onto bed from laughing too hard.
Takumi knew, no matter how many girls or guys confess their feelings to him, he’d turn them all down. No matter how many try to woo him or give him the best chocolate they can get, nothing can beat the love he feels when Soma cooks for him. As ocean blue eyes meet those golden orbs he felt like he was falling in love all over again.
“You know…You’re kind of hot when you’re jealous.” Takumi chuckled while running his hands on Soma’s wild hair affectionately. This made Soma prop an arm up to turn to face his boyfriend who was blushing despite the confession, “Oh, you liked that, huh? My Kumi’s so naughty.” Soma leaned closer until their noses brushed. The Italian just rolled his eyes, “Shut up.” And the diner duo kissed sweetly.
