Work Text:
Arakita knew that his time at Hakone wouldn’t last forever. He fucking knew it during the whole Interhigh and was his own decision to attend Yonan University and not Meisou like Fuku-Chan and that stupid Shinkai. Even that, he was still mad at himself. Maybe because he had feelings for Fuku-Chan and he never told him because he realized that was unrequited love or maybe he was just jealous of Shinkai. That was one of those things that he always told himself not to think about and ended all the night suffering for it: he was a looser.
But Arakita would never quit cycling for that stupid reason and he heard that Yonan had a strong team, although he never would expect to find the ex-captain of Sohoku there. It was painful because even if Fukutomi and Kinjou were not the same person, they had lots of things in common and he didn’t want to hear all of those words.
It seemed like avoiding Kinjou was not an option because the other guy always had a reason to appear and Arakita thought that the “man who never gives up” was a nickname that really suited him. They also were paired in the practices because the seniors thought that was a good idea, the wolf just stayed quiet while pedaling with his normal angry look. And every time Kinjou asked what the hell was in his mind, he couldn’t do anything more than yelling something stupid and run away from the snake.
-Stupid Kin-Chan, you are fucking getting on my nerves!
He was starting to feel something for him. And he didn’t want to do the same mistake that he did in the past, it was better to stay far from him.
