“Kagehira, we need to talk.”
Mika fell off the sofa with a loud "ngggah?" and sprung up to look at Shu who was in the kitchen, “Did I do somethin’ wrong Oshi-san? Did somethin happen? Are ya kickin me out?" Mika was already thinking about what horrible thing he’d done and started apologizing profusely. “Kagehira I’m not kicking you out, calm down.” Mika stopped talking and walked into the kitchen.
After a few moments of silence, he asked in a quiet voice “whaddya wanna talk ‘bout Oshi-san?” Shu put down the knife and looked Mika dead in his eyes,
“Your loungewear”
“Ma loungewear? Like what ‘m wearing right now? What’s wrong with it?” he asked, cocking his head to the side. Mika was wearing a long white button-up shirt the front of the shirt was tucked into a pair of relatively high biker shorts, exposing the young boy's smooth pale skin. Shu eyed Mika up and down, his cheeks flushed slightly at seeing Mika’s thighs, he quickly looked away trying to find the words to say to Mika.
The words he said next came out extremely wrong.
“You're dressed like a slut.”
Mika’s eyes widened and Shu wanted to slit his own throat.
***************
“Can ya fuckin’ believe the audacity of that bullshit Naru-chan.” Mika said with a mouth full of chocolate.
Narukami Arashi, Mika’s best friend from his first year, sat in front of the upset boy with his eyes wide, “I told you he was bad news Mika-chan, but this crosses the fricken line, he’s a total douche bag and you should’ve never even joined his damn unit.” “But Naru-chan-” Mika began in a whiny voice only to be cut off by his ringtone, it was Shu. Then it hit, Mika realized that he didn’t go back home after what Shu said to him, he ended up staying the night with Arashi.
“W-what do I do Naru-chan? Mika asked in a panic, “Don’t answer it you idiot, make him feel bad for what he said. “Everyone knows you’re supposed to make men beg for your attention.” Mika sighed and hit the ‘don’t answer’ button, he was upset because Shu hadn't come looking for him yet, he just kept calling. “Oh Mika honey, don’t be upset. If he can see how special you are then he’s as blind a bat.” Arashi said with a pout.
Mika looked at Arashi with sad eyes "What should I do Naru-chan? Oshi-san hates ma guts now.” Arashi noticed the boy panicking and decided to think of a plan that would help Mika’s situation, then it hit her.
“Mika honey, he hasn’t said anything about your loungewear before right?”
“Well….Now that ‘m thinkin’ bout it, I don’t think he has.” Mika said looking up to the sky
"What exactly were you wearing Mika-chan?"
"White button-up and some biker shorts, why?"
Arashi was a lot of things, but stupid wasn't one of them. She knew almost immediately what she was dealing with, a young boy in love.
“Then I have the perfect plan for you, honey,” Arashi responded and pulled Mika close so she could whisper the plan in his ears.
“So here’s what you’re gonna do…”
***************
Mika returned home shortly after his talk with Arashi. He opened the door followed by a pretty loud “I’m Home Oshi-san.” Mika stood at the entrance for a few seconds. Shu wasn’t in the living area, Mika stepped in and closed the door behind him. He had assumed that Shu had gone outside but then he heard a loud sound from upstairs. Mika was staring up the stairs waiting to see what the loud noise was, then he saw Shu crawl out of his room, his foot seemed to be caught on some kind of black fabric,’ that’s probably what that loud sound was’ Mika thought to himself.
Shu was whispering cruse after curse “Motherfucking fucker stupid damned fabric I’ll murder your damned family, I’ll make you into something so ugly you’ll never forget you wretched piece of-” he made eye contact with Mika, and immediately shut his mouth.
He cleared his throat softly “Kagehira, you’re….you came back”
“Yeah…..I kinda live here ya know,” Mika said in a rude tone, ignoring the fact that Shu looked like he was about to cry. Mika took off his shoes, walked up the stairs, and stepped right past Shu without even looking at him.
“Kagehira I-”
“I don’t wanna hear what yer 'bout to say, ’m taking a shower and ’m gonna sleep, and no I ain’t hungry,” Mika said coldly.
Mika slammed his door shut and immediately broke down, ‘oh ma gosh Oshi-san looked like he was gonna cry, that was awful. I know Naru-chan said to give him the cold shoulder and
continue to wear what I want until Oshi-san breaks and says he’s sorry, but now I feel real sour,’ Mika thought to himself in his rather empty room. Shu was still standing in the hallway he was dumbfounded, he couldn’t believe what just happened. He walked downstairs and sat on the sofa. “What the hell just happened and why was it kinda hot…?” Shu couldn’t tell if he was confused or horny.
Both he was both
**************
After showering Mika put on a pair of black high-waisted shorts and a black cropped sweater that only showed skin if he was stretching or laying down. Mika sat in his bed and decided to listen to music, he put on his headphones and laid on his right side facing away from the door. Downstairs Shu was making dinner while still thinking about what the hell happened earlier, he thought Mika was acting out because of what he said yesterday and realized that he still hadn’t apologized, Shu finished making dinner and decided to bring some food to Mika along with his apology, and a chocolate bar he kept in the fridge.
Shu knocked on the door lightly, no response. He thought ‘he probably didn’t hear me.’ He tried again but this time he spoke, “Kagehira it’s me, I brought you something to eat. I know you said you weren’t hungry but I thought you might want something.” No response again, so Shu did what any good person would do, he opened the door and let himself in. He walked in and saw Mika laying on his side facing the wall, scrolling through some songs, Shu was immediately distracted by Mika's outfit. He was staring at Mika’s body he knew he should have but half his butt was showing Shu couldn’t bring himself to look away.
Mika felt someone's eyes on him and he quickly turned to look at the person watching him, he made eye contact with purple eyes, well technically not eye contact because Shu was staring elsewhere but you get the idea. “Oshi-san…? Whatcha doin 'in ma room?” Mika said, taking off his headphones and sitting up to look at the very distracted boy. Mika spotted the plate of food and the chocolate bar in Shu's hands. Shu met Mika's eyes. "I thought you might be hungry," Shu said, showing Mika the chocolate bar. Mika looked at Shu with a sad look.
"So yer not here to say sorry?"
Shu immediately felt regret and looked away trying to find the right words to say to the younger boy, but he couldn't. Shu wanted his apology to be something Mika would remember, he wanted Mika to know that he really does love him, but for some reason, confessing was much too difficult for Shu's brain to comprehend.
Mika was saying something but Shu was caught up in his thoughts and didn’t hear what Mika was saying until Shu heard Mika yell his name. That brought Shu back to reality. "Sorry, could you repeat yourself? I wasn't listening," Shu said.
That was the last straw for Mika. He was tired of being treated like a doll he wanted Shu’s full undivided attention, but no Shu was always too busy to even ask Mika if he had a good day. Mika was not having it. He snapped
"Of course, yer weren't listenin, ya never listen to me! You always say I'm perfect and I do a good job but then ya turn around and say 'm dressed like a slut, I just bought these damned clothes, and fer yer information, I happen to like these clothes! Have ya even considered ma feelings in these situations?! And even now yer not even lookin me in the eyes! What is so distracted by that you can't even apologize to me properly!" Mika was fuming. He was on the verge of tears and his words started to slur. "If ya have nothin' to say then get outta ma room." His voice broke, and he wiped a tear from his face.
Shu put down the plate of food and the chocolate bar he was holding. "Kagehira–” Mika wasn’t listening, he was beyond upset. Shu tried again but this time with a different approach “Mika” he started gently. (That certainly got Mika's attention) “I'm sorry I made you upset. If I'm to be 100% truthful with you then I'll start by saying,' I love you.’ "
Mika's eyes were wide open, he was surprised to even hear the word love come out of Shu's mouth, now the word was directed at him and he didn't know how to react.
"I called you something unbelievable yesterday morning and I really do regret it, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. All I was trying to say was 'your outfit is quite showy and I'm distracted by your body'." Shu could feel his face heating up but he refused to break eye contact with the other boy.
"Mika you should know how much I really do love and care for you, I try my best to keep our relationship strictly in the friend zone but, I don't think I can anymore." Mika was still trying to process the whole 'I love you' thing, but he seemed to understand what Shu was saying. The room fell silent for a bit, then Mika spoke slowly.
“So…This whole time….Oshi-san had a crush on me? And the reason ya were bein so weird was ‘cause you were distracted by ma body?”
Shu nodded and Mika’s face flushed bright red. Shu wanted to (once again) slit his throat.
“Naru-chan was right all along. Oshi-san totally has it bad for me!” Mika laughed, brushing off his embarrassment. Shu brushed off the whole ‘Narukami knowing about his undying love for Mika’ and asked Mika in the softest voice he could manage.
“Mika Kagehira, will you allow me to love you for rest of our stupid lives.”
That was absolutely a marriage proposal, and it’s not like Mika didn’t want to literally marry Shu so, of course Mika accepted it.
“Oshi-san, I love you!” Mika said with the biggest smile on his face. Shu smiled back and gave Mika a kiss on the forehead. “I love you more” Shu said lovingly.
The two of them headed out of Mika’s room and passed by Shu’s bedroom, his door was open and his room was a mess, I mean it usually was but this was more than usual.
“Oshi-san the hell happened to yer room?” Mika asked curiously, Shu looked at Mika and asked “Do you want the truth?” Mika nodded with a wary look on his face, “I didn’t get much sleep last night because I was worried about a certain boy.” Shu said with a smile. Mika jumped on Shu with a smile.
“Oshi-san~ I love you sooo much!”
