Chapter Text
Kazuichi groaned as the 4th alarm on his phone had blared through his ears, for a split second he forgot why he had to wake up after hours of working on cars for the family business. He groaned and rolled over on his bed for the summer evening sun to flash through the window on the side of his bedroom.
To celebrate the last week of summer had Ibuki decided to through a party before the school year started to give everyone one last bit of fun before they had to buckle down with studies until the Christmas break.
Kazuichi turned his head as the sun had finally woken him up from his nap, he sloppy dragged his arm over his torso grabbing his phone cancelling the alarm taking over his home phone screen.
Once he did it took a moment for Kaz's brain to process the time he saw on the screen before he launched of his bed and the overtaking sound of the creaking bed covering up his mutters.
"Shit! shit! shit!" Kaz muttered as he stumbled around the piles of gears and contraptions he'd been tinkering with and unwashed laundry he'd forgotten to take to the dorm's laundry room at hopes peek.
Swinging open his wardrobe door he looked at the almost bear hangers with only a few shirts hung on them. He grabbed a light pink Hawaiian shirt with floral detailing and put it unbuttoned over the white shirt he'd been wearing all day, he quickly sped over to his draws and grabbed a pair of plain blue jeans that had been hanging out in the mechanics rush to put most of his clothes away and continue with a project he'd been working on most summer evenings.
"Fuuuucckk" Kazuichi groaned to himself as he made a dart for his phone and then into the hallway towards the bathroom. He moved towards the mirror placing his hands on the cracked sink placed just beneath it.
His face was red from a mix of acne darted around the corners of his forehead and lower chin and the blush from being out of breath after the rush of getting ready so quick.
He had heavy dark circles under his eyes because of how inconsistent his sleep schedule is. He really needed to get his sleep fixed by tomorrow if he didn't want to show up to school later than he usually dose.
He looked up at his hair, it was greasy noted at the bottom, he really got bad bed head. He lifted a hand to brush over his roots, they had grown out to the point the were very visible, he throw his hands down in frustration and stormed back to his room to scour the floor for one of his beanies, and maybe a hair brush.
After he looked about 78% better than he did when he woke up he opened his phone and scrolled through his contacts and clicked on someone he knew would give him an earful for waking up late but still suck it up and help him out.
'Calling "bAby Gangsta🔫😝🤚🏻"
He waited as the tone ran as he walked down the stairs of his families home and passing by the archway to his living room were his dad was passed out clutching a bottle of beer like it was a baby.
"Hello?" Fuyuhiko answered his voice sounding groggy and tired. Had everyone been sleeping?.
"Dude!" Kazuichi whispered into his phone. "Okay so don't get mad but I woke up late and I need you to pick me up?" Kaz said with a bit of a forced laugh in an attempt to lighten his request.
"Oh for fuck sake! Did you seriously wake up this late! I'm just turning into ibuki's street!!"
"I know! I know! Dad asked me to put more hour in cause he was really fucking hungover!"
"Ughhhhhhh, Fine!" Fuyuhiko said frustrated pulling away from the phone to say something to his driver.
"Alright you wanker I'm on my way to pick you up, but this better be the last time!"
"Dude I swear!" Kaz pleaded taking the keys of the wall to unlock the front door.
"Good. I'll be there in 10" Fuyuhiko said before hanging up the phone.
With that, Kaz left his house and walked to the paved path running along the side of all the houses on his streets. He pulled out his phone to play mind numbing games while he waits for the short angry blonde.
Not a minute shorter than stated a black limousine pulled up to Kazuichi's home in his run down neighbourhood. A windows rolled down and the blonde pulled his head out "Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna get it in asshole!"
"Yeah,yeah.." Kaz muttered slightly annoyed, he speed walked round the expensive car getting in the other side. "Sup Karl" Kazuichi signalled to Fuyuhiko's driver.
Karl hummed in response and waited for Kaz to get buckled in, Fuyuhiko signalled him to drive after Kaz was in.
Fuyuhiko sighed and pulled down the sleeve of the blazer he was wearing to check his watch, "We are 14 minutes and 46 seconds late and with traffic in this part of the city I'd add another 22 minutes so we while be about 34-35 minutes late to a party, I was just at" Fuyuhiko said not even trying to his the passive aggressive tone in his voice.
"Omg." Kaz groans "I'm sorry! I slept through all my alarms!" Fuyuhiko grunted.
Kaz tilted his head looking over at one of his best friends, "Dude?" He asked "Like I know you always get really pissed when I ask you for a ride but like not this much?"
Fuyuhiko's eyes looked over at Kaz then at the floor of the car. It took Kaz a second but he eventually pieced it all together "Wait a second.." He said before he face broke into a wide smirk.
"You gonna finally make a move one Pe-" Kaz said his voice fast with excitement but was interrupted when Fuyu slapped his hand over Kazuichi's mouth.
When Kaz looked up he saw his best friend's face as red as a tomato. "Look. I was." Fuyuhiko said still having his face plastered on to the floor of the car.
"But? What?" Kaz muffled voice said behind Fuyu's hand. His friend relaxed and brought his hand off of Kaz's mouth, "I got a message yesterday from Hiyoko, she know about..my.."
"Your crush on Peko?" Kaz deadpanned as Fuyuhiko shushed him constantly after it, "Dude we're litterally in your car, aaalloonnee" Kaz dragged on the last word in an exergerated tone. "The only person who could possibly tattle is Karl but I doubt he cares enough to do so"
"Look I guess your right-"
"I'm always right!" Kaz said with a cocky smile,
Fuyuhiko raised his eyebrows. " You are one of the stupidest mother fuckers to ever walk the planet"
They both let out chuckles after that. "Ok all seriousness for once what's up" Kaz said looking over at his best friend.
"So Hiyoko messaged me yesterday saying she was gonna tell Peko I liked her and I tried to bribe her out of it but she kept saying Peko 'deserves to know' and crap"
"And you want to tell her before Hiyoko can cause your no gonna let her get the last laugh?"
Fuyuhiko nodded "I mean yeah that's basically it"
"We'll I mean good luck to you but if she turns you down don't worry! I'm take you out and we're gonna score so many bitches you'll forget how Peko turned you down" Kazuichis smile beaming bright as he said that.
"Omg Kaz shut up" Fuyuhiko sighed for the hundredth time. "I'm kidding! We can all tell Peko likes you as well, surprisingly"
"Really you th- WAIT SURPRISINGLY?" Fuyuhiko yelled at his friend only for him to laugh in response "Fuck you Kaz! Like you could ever have someone fall for you!" Kaz then proceeded to let out a dramatic gasp.
"I could! I'm a babe magnet!" Kaz said gesturing to his figure.
"Oh really?" Fuyuhiko let out a little laugh, "You want to make a bet?"
