“Are you done pretending that you learn something just from staring at that same page for hours?”
“Fuck off. I’m trying to study for real here.”
Sakura grunted as he flipped the page of his math book. He immediately frowned at what’s written there. It seemed that trigonometry still remained as one of his biggest enemies.
“You know, Haru-kun, you could’ve just asked for my help instead of, well, isolating yourself in this dusty room for hours trying to magically cram it all into your head.”
Sakura shot his boyfriend a heated glare. “If you’re not gonna help, better fuck off now.”
“Pfft.” Suo’s lips curve with an amused chuckle. “Oh, come on. Don’t glare at me like that. You love me. And you know I always help you. Every. Single. Time.”
The last three words were emphasized by knocking Sakura’s weightless backpack off the dusty wooden desk. Suo let out a quiet hum as he settled himself right next to his grumpy boyfriend.
“What chapter are you on now?”
Suo made a gesture for the book. Sakura reluctantly handed it to him, blushing faintly, a little embarrassed at showing the lack of progress he had made since their patrol ended hours ago. This time, though, Suo did not mock him for it.
“Okay, this one’s easy peasy. Here, let me explain it.”
Suo leaned down to scribble something on Sakura’s notebook. The lack of distance between them led Sakura to catch the faint scent of Suo’s cologne—it’s sweet honey with a layer of floral scent.
“Earth to Sakura Haruka? Hello?”
A teasing smile curved Suo’s lips. His eye sparkled with mischief as he snapped his fingers teasingly to earn back his boyfriend’s attention.
“W-What?” Sakura spluttered, face reddening, his shoulders stiffened at getting caught.
At his boyfriend’s flustered reaction, Suo merely laughed. “God, you are so obvious. I know I’ve got a nice face card, but I thought you wanted me to teach you? Well, if you really don’t need me here…”
Suo trailed off when Sakura abruptly stood up, desk creaking against the floor, his face twisted into a scowl that reflected his irritation along with some fond emotions that were left unspoken.
But there was no need for words.
Not when Sakura grabbed his cheeky boyfriend’s face, smushing it between his palm, and claimed those smirking lips.
Suo gasped, eye widening in a pleasant surprise, before his hands found purchase on Sakura’s shoulders to deepen the kiss.
After a minute or so, Sakura let go of the kiss. His face was as bright as ever, red from the kiss and the warm afternoon light slipping through the windows. Though, Suo was no better. His face flushed slightly, such a rare sight, while his lips curled into a soft grin that radiated fondness.
“Do you still want to study?” Suo asked teasingly.
Sakura hunched his shoulders with a pout. “You know I hate math, but Umemiya won’t stop preachin’ about setting a good example if I wanna get to the top and be a leader to these guys.”
“Hmm, how about doing it at my place, then? I baked some strawberry pies yesterday. They’re as red as your face. Very cute. And tasty, of course, just like you.” Suo grinned and swapped his thumb against Sakura’s lower lip for emphasis.
“…Fine,” Sakura mumbled, yet the excitement was too clear in his voice.
They spent the rest of the afternoon studying—and kissing. Mostly kissing.
