At this point he was used to this. He would see shinichiro and just the way he carried himself he could tell what happened.
“What happened this time?” he asked “nothing” he could tell that the black haired boy was lying to him, he gave him a questioning look causing him to give up his protest.
“Okay, okay yeah something did happen. I asked a girl out”
This wasn't the first time something like this has happened but every time Takeomi still feels a sting in his chest.
“What did she say” it almost felt like deja vu at this point. It was not the first time they have had this conversation. It didn't happen all the time but it happened enough for him to lose count
“She said no, bet you saw that coming” Shinichiro turned to him flashing him a smile hiding the pain of rejection.
Shinichiro got rejected a lot, Takeomi started thinking no one ever actually accepted his advances. He didn't understand why he was relatively attractive. When his hair was down it would move slightly with the wind, when it rained his face would shine from the layer of water that would stick to his skin, when his hair dried it would frame his face.
“You wanna get something to eat” That snaps takeomi out of his thoughts.
“H-huh, oh yeah, where do you wanna go”
“Come on i know a place”
During lunch Shinichiro normally comes to find Takeomi but he didnt today so instead takeomi goes to search for him.
After a few minutes of looking around he finds him sitting on the floor leaning up against the wall. It takes him a few seconds to notice Takeomi is staring at him.
“Oh hey man didn't see to there” giving him the usual smile he does
Takeomi doesn't respond, he just sits down next to him, their shoulders touching each other.
“Are you hungry” takeomi asks him
“nah im okay”
They sit in comfortable silence. Takeomi already knows what happened so he doesn't bother asking. Shinichiro lightly rests himself on takeomis shoulder. Takeomi can feel the warmth radiationing from shinichiro through his jacket.
They weren't necessarily physically affectionate towards each other but sometimes shinichiro would find comfort in leaning against takeomi.
A warm feeling spreads through the taller boys chest. Shinichiro allows himself to slide down lower to where he is almost laying down. Leaning his head on takeomis stomach.
“Are you not gonna eat, just because im not eating doesn't mean you can't”
“I know that, i'm just not hungry right now” Takeomi respond
Truthfully he was kind of hungry but he didn't want to leave Shinichiro when it seemed he needed some sort of comfort. He also didn't want to get up, he was too comfortable in their current position .
They sit there until the bell rings shinichiro gets up first offering a hand to takeomi
Takeomi dismisses him and gets up and they go to there separate classes
This time they were hanging out around town. Shinichiro spots a girl he points out to takeomi. Takeomi doesn’t necessarily see anything special about her but he agrees for shinichiro sake.
Shinichiro hyped himself up enough to ask for her number. At this point takeomi doesn't know where shinichiro gets all this confidence form he's got rejected many times at this point but he always bounces back
It also always makes Takeomi feel off. He doesn't understand why all these girls reject Shinichiro. He seems like the ideal partner from Takeomi point of view.
He always feels the hurt that shinichiro feels from the rejection. The girls shinichiro chooses are stupid for sure they are missing a chance with a good man he thinks to himself.
He see shinichiro walking back to him
“What’d she say”
“Uh she had a boyfriend”
He expected that, not that she had a boyfriend, but the rejection. Now he feels the obligation to cheer up shinichiro. He feels bad when the other gets rejected but at the same time he feels a little bit of satisfaction
He feels selfish for feeling it, almost quilty he wants Shinichiro to be happy so why would he feel like this?
So to make up for his selfishness he decides to take him somewhere.
“Come on let's go” he tells the black haired boy
“Huh where are we going?” he responds “gosh you ask to many questions” he tells him pulling him along
He doesn't put up a protest to the taller boy pulling him along but he follows puting his trust in him.
Takeomi took him out to his bike that they came on, letting Shinichiro get on his bike.
“Get on, and hold on”
Shinichiro listens and wraps his arms around Takeomi
“Where are we going”
“You’ll see”
He takes him to a bridge not very far from where they were. They get off Takeomi's motorcycle and walk to the railing leaning against it.
“Why’d we come here?” Shinichiro asks him.
“I don't know i thought you'd like the view”
“It nice, it’s also really calming, how did you find this place” he asks
“I brought my sister here to calm her down” He had found this place with her after he had taken her to get ice cream and she really liked the view so he had started bringing her more often and found that it also calmed him.
“That's cool! It's a really nice spot that's for bringing me here”
“Y-yeah No problem”
Shinichiro walked up to Takeomi as he was about to leave. “Where were you going without me?” he questions him
“I wasn't going anywhere,” he responds. Shinichiro questions his answer he wasn't lying but it looked like he was “Ah okay i'll believe you this time”
The walks together to a yet to be known destination which happened quite often Thee would just walk next to each other sometimes having conversations, sometimes in silence but they enjoyed each other's company.
“It happened again”
“Huh, what happened”
“I got rejected again,” Shinichiro tells him.
“Oh um that sucks man '' It had been a while since Shinichiro had asked a girl out so it kind of found takeomi by surprise.
“Nah don't worry about it”
He didn't seem very affected by this rejection like he had with the other ones. He wondered why that was but decided not to question it. They ended up going to get something to eat and then settled on a park bench.
“Why do you think so many girls reject me? '' Shinichiro asks “huh, I don't know '' Takeomi doesn't know why he can't think of a reason why Shinichiro gets rejected so much.
“There has to be some unlikeable quality about me”
“I don't think there is i mean your good with kids, your attractive, your a reliable and genuine person, you're also strong willed i can't think why they would reject you”
“Thanks man that means a lot”
Shinichiro smiles at him, the smile that always makes him feel warm and fuzzy. It's sappy sure but it's been like that for a long time. He's used to it at this point.
Takeomi is starting to think his feelings for shinichiro are not completely platonic. He obviously is not gonna tell him that. Shinichiro is his best friend and the last thing he wants to do is affect their friendship.
They spent most of their time together. He could tell he had started to develop feelings for the black haired boy a while ago but he always ignored it.
He finds the boy leaning against a wall
“hey shin”
“Shin? Is that my new nickname or something?”
“If you want it to be”
They walk together as they usually do. There is comfortable silence between the two of them.
“I got rejected again” shinichiro says
“Are you trying to hit a certain number for something?” he says in a joking tone.
“I'm not, i'm not sure why i even asked her out i didn't feel anything towards her nor did i find her attractive just asked for some reason”
“Hm really why would you ask someone you don't have feelings for or find attractive?” It was weird for Shinichiro to do that. He wonders if he did that with the last girl as he didn't seem upset from the rejection.
“I'm not sure maybe it was like a last time thing”
“A last time thing? What the hell are you talking about?” the comment worried him
“Dont worry about it”
He is worrying about it but he has enough trust in Shinichiro so he doesn’t push the subject.
They’re sitting on a park bench. They had some drinks earlier, still tipsy from them. Shinichiro was laying on takeomis lap. Takeomi was playing with his hair thinking about how soft his hair was
“Hey shin your hair is really soft, you should wear it down more often”
“Hm don’t you think i look more intimidating with my hair up”
“Not really i think it frames your face better down” he did he loved seeing shinichiro with his hair down the stands slowly flowing as the wind passed through them.
“I like your face and hair too”
The comment caught Takeomi off guard, making him slightly embarrassed.
Shinichiro pushes himself up, putting his and Takeomi face only a few inches apart. Takeomi is blushing from how close shinichiro's face is to his.
“aka-chan, i'm in love with you”
Shinichiro lets himself fall on takeomi shoulder
“Huh”
“I'm in love with you” he says louder
“Are you sure” he asks turning towards him
“Of course i'm sure you idiot, you probably don't feel the same-”
He lifts Shinichiro's face off his shoulder, their faces only a few centimeters away from each other, not one of them dares to break eye contact. Shinichiro wraps his arms around Takeomi's neck. Pushing his chest against the other shinichiro eyes closed as takeomi leaned in to close the space between the two.
Their lips melted into each other, moving slowly against each other. Takeomi brushes his tongue against his partner's lips, he parts them allowing his tongue to slip in. Shinichiro lets out a small whine causing Takeomi to pull back.
“That’s new isnt it” he teases
“Shut up,” Shinichiro responds, trying to hide the blush spreading across his face.
Takeomi leans back in placing soft kisses against his jawline slowly trailing down his neck, kisses turn into licks when when his tongue goes over a sensitive spot on shinichiro's neck he hears the boy let out a soft moan.
The sound is like music to his ears he gives a little bite causing the other to grip the back of the larger boys sweater
Takeomi runs his hands down the shinichiro torso, moving them down to his hips, slipping one under his shirt.
“Stop”
He looks up to make eye contact with him “what's wrong?” he questions
“We’re in public”
He looks around at his surroundings “There's no one around”
“That doesn't matter aka-chan were still in public we can't do this here”
Takeomi lifts himself up so he's sitting in front of the other and not over him
“Call me aka-chan more often”
“What-” shinichiro can't finish what he's saying before takeomi latches their hands together pulling him along.
“Where are we going?”
“My house, you can sleep over”
Shinichiro allows Takeomi to guide him without any protest.
