Work Text:
Hiyori and Jun were in the practice room, standing next to each other in front of the wide mirror. "Watch closely, Jun-kun. You messed up this step last time!" Hiyori told the other and repeated the steps Jun was supposed to dance. Jun stared at the reflection of Hiyori and he nodded as Hiyori finished. They started over and started dancing to one of their songs. As Hiyori glances over to Jun, he notices something's off and stops the music that's playing from his phone. "Huh, what's wro-" Jun tries to ask but is shut up by Hiyori's painful grip on his wrists. Jun tries to say something again, but he doesn't open his mouth until Hiyori stretches out the collar of his hoodie and almost starts screaming. "Just- what do you think you're doing?!" Hiyori still holds the collar as if he were holding evidence of a crime scene and pointed at the hickey on Jun's neck dramatically. "Ohii-san! I- I got into a fight!" Jun said while holding both his arms up in defeat. Hiyori got even angrier. "Stop lying to me! No one gets this close to my Jun-kun, who did this?!" Hiyori demanded and finally let go of the collar. "I told you, I got into a fight with someone..." Jun responded and looked at the ground. Hiyori sighed. "Sure. If you got into a fight, then why is there a hickey on your neck?" Hiyori exclaimed bluntly. Jun finally accepted defeat and looked back at Hiyori. "Goddamn, alright. It was Ibara. Satisfied?" Out of embarrassment he looked away again. "He just left you like that, without anything to cover it up? Horrible Weather! You never even told me about this!" Hiyori crossed his arms and looked away too. Jun was perplexed but looked back at Hiyori. "What? Why would I tell you if I got a hickey?" Hiyori looked offended back at him. "Why would you not tell me that? I want you to be in good hands." Jun smiled faintly but quickly reassured him; "Ibara is a good person, it's not his fault it's still there. I just forgot to cover it up." Hiyori grabbed his nearby makeup bag, took out the foundation and his brush. "Then I'll do it for you. But no wonder you two have been acting so friendly with each other lately." He said and applied foundation to the others neck. "We've always had some kind of connection, y'know?--Nevermind, that sounds really cheesy." Hiyori smiled back in response. "But that's what so cute about you, Jun-kun. A little bit of love wouldn't hurt that Viper after all." Jun leaned away from Hiyori so he could reach the mark better. They stood there for a while until Jun heard Hiyori sigh.
"Jun-kun."
"Hm?"
"It's really blue. Now I'm not sure if you were attacked by some rabid animal or Ibara." Hiyori frowned and touched the one of the marks behind Jun's neck as the other hissed in pain. "Ah, look. Doesn't it hurt?" Jun blushed a bit. 'do we really need to discuss this all in detail?' he would've said if it weren't Hiyori. Jun figures he's a little too overprotective of Jun. "No... I'm just sensitive, I guess." He brushes it off and steps away from Hiyori. "But thanks for coverin' it up for me, saved me from possible embarrassin' moments." (Worse than this one...) he doesn't add. Hiyori smiled. "No need to thank me, I'm your Ohii-san after all!" Hiyori picks up his phone and looks at his schedule. "Would you look at that, our next interview is soon. Come on, Jun-kun!" Hiyori exclaimed and grabbed all his stuff to give Jun. Jun took his and his leaders bags and they exited the practice room. They went out to the entrance of the ES building and waited for their personal taxi. As they waited, Hiyori started talking about some new project pretty 5 had coming up, but Jun only listened to his story with one ear. He couldn't stop thinking about the hickeys Ibara had left on him. 'How hard did he bite to make them so blue? Was it even intentional? Did he really want to prove how much he loved Jun by marking him like that?' Jun thought to himself, but his thoughts got interrupted by Hiyori's bickering.
"Jun-kun? Are you even listening?" Jun nodded. "Yeah, sure. Um... So pretty 5.." Hiyori shook his head; "I told you that story 5 minutes ago. You're really not listening, are you? The venom has reached your muscle brain, indeed. I'm almost jealous, Jun-kun." Hiyori complained. Jun was about to respond but the taxi arrived. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them, they thanked him quietly and went inside.
The ride to the interview wasn't exactly pleasant, at least for Jun. Hiyori continued to talk about topics Jun didn't really feel to properly listen to and kept overthinking things. 'Am I so important to him, for him to even do that so ... harshly? I didn't give him anything like that in return. He isn't disappointed, right? Surely not, he doesn't like hickeys to be visible, it could always get in the way of work. While it didn't get in the way of 'work' for me, it was pretty embarrassing when Ohii-san found it. Knowing Ohii-san, he'll probably tell Nagisa-senpai about it through his telepathy powers.' He let out a sigh and tried to listen to Hiyori again.
The car got to a halt at the studio of a popular magazine company. They stepped out and entered the studio for the interview. The interview began and Hiyori noticed how Jun sometimes slurred his words.
"So, Sazanami-san, would you say that Eve has improved in any way?" Jun tried to put on one of his most fake idol smiles. "Yes, I have noticed our performances have gotten way better in terms of singin'." The interviewer nodded and was satisfied with the answer.
After the interview was finished, Hiyori approached him and shook his head; "It's obvious you aren't in the right mindset today, let's take a break." Jun nodded and took out his phone to check the time, but instead of looking at the clock, he looked at the message he just received.
'It's from Ibara. "I apologize for leaving so suddenly last time, something really urgent came up. Again, sorry."' Jun read the text message in his head with a smile, he was being too apologetic.
On their ride back to the ES building, Jun kept looking out the window and was drowning in his own thoughts. Hiyori didn't comment on it anymore and left it at that. They exited the car as fast as they got into it and Eve said their goodbyes for today. "Promise me this, Jun-kun. Don't let him hurt you." Jun was glad he cared but couldn't handle the mom act anymore. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. You can stop acting like a mom now, I'm a grown adult." Hiyori rolled his eyes but took his bag and said his final goodbye. Jun was kind of glad Eve didn't have any plans left for today. He slowly started walking towards the dorms. He opened the door to his dorm and was welcomed to an empty room. "Sakura-kun? You there?" He asked, just in case. No response. He locked the door and turned on the lights.
He almost wanted to puke blood at the sight that was before him, not out of disgust, but out of pure shock. "I-Ibara?!" He yelped. Ibara was laying on Jun's bed, typing something on his laptop. "Oh, Jun. You're here." He didn't look up and kept typing. What surprised Jun wasn't that Ibara was laying there like a highschool girl, but the foundation next to his laptop. "Why didn't you say anythin'? You scared the shit outta me.." Jun said, almost out of breath. "Haha. I apologize, I just really wanted to see your reaction. Because of yesterday's stress, I completely forgot to apply foundation on the marks I left on you. "I" plan to fix yesterday's mistake." Ibara says and picks up the foundation. "Oh really? That's considerate, thanks." Jun sat at the edge of the bed and wanted to internally shoot himself in the head. 'It's already covered.' he thought to himself before Ibara slowly revealed Jun's neck. He heard the shuffling of clothing and he really didn't know what would come next. "So you did it yourself already, huh? Then-" Jun held Ibara's wrist as the other was about to pull away from Jun's neck. "No... Uh.. I didn't do it properly, you should reapply it." Ibara just laughed at that. "I mean, if you want me to that badly."
He held Jun's neck so he could get rid of the old foundation properly with a towel he had on hand. Jun enjoyed it a little bit too much and leaned into the touch. "You seem to be enjoying this too much, Jun." Ibara remarked. "When ya touch me like this, what am I supposed to do?" Jun replied, smirking at Ibara. He didn't respond, but let a faint blush be his voice for a mere second. Jun remembered what he wanted to ask Ibara this whole time. "Ibara, didja bite so hard into my neck on purpose or?" Ibara choked on air. "I... I'm not sure, could've just been a mere mistake in the heat of the moment, haha!" He laughed and let go of the others neck. Jun sighed. "I'm bad at lying, Ibara. Ohii-san found out you gave me the hickey." Ibara felt his heart stop. "So your Highness knows we had intercourse?" Jun blushed at the mere mention of the word "intercourse" like a virgin. "Yeah... He was worried you hurt me or somethin'. But I do wanna know if I mean so much to you to the point of markin' me so badly." He couldn't stop himself from smiling at Jun, almost pitying him. "You're such an idiot." He snickered. "Maybe "I" should give you another one, so you'll come to the conclusion yourself?" Jun took this as an invitation to bring Ibara closer to him by grabbing the other's hips. "Yeah, I'd like that."
