Work Text:
"Let's re-record that, I could've sounded better." Isoda rolled their eyes and lightly shoved him. The two of them were working on a duet together during spring break, they were hanging out at Ninomiya's place, he recently got his bedroom completely soundproof!
"Uh, no. I'm hungry, we can re-record it later." Mion went towards their bag to pull out some snacks, pulling out their phone in the process. "What the fuck? It's this late?"
"Huh?" Ninomiya looked over their shoulder. During holidays and or breaks, a lot of students go back to living at their own place for a brief amount of time, usually to see their family. Isoda was visiting Nagoya to see Youhei (and of course, to do the song together.)
They sat down on the floor, grabbing a pack of gummies as Ninomiya sat right next to them. "I didn't even book a hotel yet..." Mion muttered to themselves, eating one of the gummies. "Well, shit, you don't have to. You're already here, just sleep here too." He steals a gummy from them, causing them to give him a glare.
"I kind of assumed you would've been sleeping here anyway, I even got you your own comforter! Don't betray me like this." He whined, giving them puppy dog eyes, frankly, the eyes are not as cute as he thinks they are. (Well, Mion thinks they're cute. They won't admit it though.)
"Fiiiiine." The utaite smirked, "but if your couch isn't comfortable, I'm kicking you out your bed." Isoda joked, kicking his feet with theirs. Isoda yawned before laying their head on Ninomiya's shoulder as the violinist chuckled.
"Youuuu'll be sleeping on my bed, actually." He announced, "don't even worry, dude. I wasn't gonna invite you to come here all the way from Kyoto to just make you sleep on my couch." He kicked them back, laying his head on theirs. "I'm not an asshole."
The redhead laughed at him, continuing to eat the gummies. "Dude, I literally do not care, I can sleep on the couch. It's your bed."
"My bed that I've slept in for like, years! I can handle one day of sleeping on the couch," he was about to continue, but Mion cut him off,
"Can't we both sleep in the same bed, though?"
.....
HE WON HE WON HE WON HE WON!!!!!
"I-I mean.. haha... well- uhm... I mean- I-" Suddenly, the wall was very interesting. He was blushing furiously as he covered his mouth. He could hear his heart beat in his ears.
Isoda eyed him before they bursted out laughing, giving him a playful shove, "Pfft, calm down! Breathe!" he was so weirdly cute like this, so cute.
"I-I'm calm!!! Just taken-aback!" The violinist defended himself, taking one of their gummies. "Y-you uhm. You can sleep in my bed though, it's fine."
"Are you sure?" They tilted their head. "Uh- haha... y- yeah! It's chill!" NOT CHILL NOT CHILL NOT CHILL.
"Pfft, thanks." Mion stood up, "wanna shower first?" Ninomiya almost wanted to make a joke that they should both shower together, but relented. #characterdevelopment
"Haa... no, no- you- you can shower first." Youhei internally wanted to shove himself into a locker and die a slow and painful death because of how dorky he sounded. Isoda snickered at him, but decided not to comment on the poor guy's pathetic reaction, "Right, right, going."
...
1 minute 7 seconds....
Youhei kept walking pacing around his room nervously. He has already made the bed, brought everything Isoda would need, got his own clothes ready for when he has to shower, now he's just contemplating on what else there's left to be done. He practically already deep cleaned his home before Isoda came over, and all the dishes were done too. Now he's just left with his thoughts...
12 minutes.... 5 seconds....?
After a while, Isoda comes back. They were wearing fresh pyjamas and their hair was fully wet, Mion was busy drying it with a towel that's slung over their shoulders. "Yo, you can go now."
He snapped his head around the second they came in and took a minute to process. They're so pretty what the fuck what they're gonna be sleeping in MY bed (with me- with ME!!!) oh my god Hirose, I get you on a different level now... "I.. no-no yeah hah... I'm going- GOOOIIING!" he grabbed his fresh clothes, exiting the room.
"Freak." Isoda muttered under their breath with a grin on their face. They sat down on one of the chairs in his room, resisting the urge to snoop. So instead, Isoda approached Kappa's enclosure, tapping on the glass a few times to see what Kappa would do.
...
Once Ninomiya was all ready (taking extra time to do his skincare and blow dry his hair) he left the bathroom and entered the bedroom. Seems like Isoda's boredom caused them to talk to Kappa, flinching when Youhei came through the door.
"Took you long enough," Isoda quips, standing up. "Well yeaaah! I don't like sleeping with wet hair." Isoda tilted their head at that, "I should probably blow dry it too then. I wouldn't want to make your pillow wet." They grinned, going to the bathroom, "or, do you wanna do that with me as well?"
HE'S WINNING YET AGAIN!!!
"L-Like blow drying your hair?" Isoda nodded, "Pfft- Why not? Be my personal assistant, why don'tcha." Mion enjoyed seeing Ninomiya get all weird and nervous, it was so funny.
"I- huh uhm- suuureee! I'll blow dry it real good!" His legs sorta wobbled as he stood up, "Pfft- wowww! I get to blow dry the hair of THE Isoda Mion. Aren't you afraid I'll clip some of it to sell?" he teased, following after them, "If you're low on money, sure. I can be your cash machine." Isoda countered.
"We can fund our collab with the money we get from it." He continued as they both entered the bathroom, Isoda taking a chair from the kitchen. "Pfft- you're weird."
...
The sound of laughter and music with strained voices singing the lyrics to the underground rock bands coming from their shared playlist, (along with the sound of the blow dryer) filled the bathroom as Ninomiya ran his hands through Isoda's hair, drying it. At this point it was already dryed, but the two were having too much fun to really notice before Youhei turned the blow dryer off.
"All dry!" He put the dryer to the side, pausing the song playing. "Aghhhh.... my throat hurts..." Isoda complained, leaning their head back on the chair they were sitting in.
Ninomiya being the menace he is, pulls the chair back enough to make Isoda flinch and punch his arm. "Dude!?!" They continued to hit him, albeit gently.... he thinks? They could just be weak.
"OW OW OW OW!!" They long hair boy moved away from them, running towards the bedroom, fully sprinting as Mion chases him. They're quite fast. ...They're surprisingly really fast.
FUCK THEY'RE CATCHING UP OHMYGOD
...
"Jeez, all that punching tired me out." Mion sighed, they were both now laying on the bed, facing eachother. It was what, 2AM right now? They spent a long time practicing and a lot more time in the bathroom.
Ninomiya pulled a blanket over himself, before kicking the utaite's legs, "It HURT by the way!" Isoda just scoffed and kicked back. "Do you want to get hit again?"
There is something Ninomiya has noticed recently. That being – Isoda in general, honestly. The way their eyelashes flutter while those soft red eyes looked up at him, the way they look away and their face gets all flushed sometimes, the way his heart would pick up heavily everytime they would laugh, the way he would get goosebumps when they would hold hands (or when any physical affection is shared with them), the way he found himself listening to their songs over and over on loop.
It was pathetic, really. He wasn't really that much of a 'commitment' guy, but even then, he could sometimes imagine a future with Mion. Sometimes. That's if Isoda even felt the same way. But they don't. So there's no point in worrying. He'll just push it down.
But how could he? Especially when they're in the same bed, eyes locked with eachother, like they're both waiting for something to happen.
"Uuughhh... I'm not even that sleepy." He groans, shoving his face into the pillow. Cause he was frustrated. Not cause he was blushing. Nope. Isoda just scoffs and jokes, "Oh yeah? Wanna makeout or something?"
...
Ninomiya knew what they were referencing, and that it was a joke, but even then, he felt his face heat up, gripping the pillow tighter as his his eyes looked down at Isoda. "I- fuck yeah, dude." He replied, he was actually very proud of himself for not stuttering. Well, hopefully not stuttering, he could barely hear himself through the loud noise of his heartbeat penetrating his ears.
"....What if I was for real, though?"
...
It would be a lie to say that Mion didn't panic when they said that, it just came out of them naturally, without thinking.
Isoda knows they love Ninomiya, for a fact. They've noticed this only recently, but it's something the utaite finds it really hard to ignore. Not only is he funny, but he's kind and very beautiful too. Mion would sometimes just stare at him for long periods of time without noticing, sometimes they'd just stare at one of his face piercings (or more specifically, his lip piercing) until the other notices- so they could pass it off as them liking the piercings.
But there's no way Ninomiya liked them back right? Plus, is he even the type to fall in love? He and Okazaki had something going on before but...
Mion was about to take it back and frame it as a joke before Ninomiya swallowed and nodded, "I-I like... r-really?" Fuuuuck. Can't back out now.
"I... yeah, really." Isoda presses their lips in a straight line, looking away. It's dark enough for him to not notice they're blushing, right?
"....I..- HaHA Y-... yeah? yeah! okay... uhm... yeah- totally- we uhm.. we can-" Is he always this nervous before he makes out with someone? "I-If that's okay with... you-"
"Well, may I?"
"Y-yeah..- yo-" Before Ninomiya could finish his sentence, Isoda pulled him by his waist, kissing him hungrily. Like they hadn't eaten in days.
He made a strangled noise before melting into the kiss, lips moving against theirs. They were a flurry of hands, Ninomiya's making their way up Isoda's back to rest on their hair, pulling them against his lips, Isoda followed right after. Isoda smiled against him, THEY'RE WINNING!!!! Isoda is going to make sure they take this opportunity.
Isoda bit his lip, pulling on his hair lightly to not hurt him, just enough to make him whine and whimper. Which.... actually wasn't that difficult in the first place, he's so noisy??? Isoda is struggling to keep in a few of their own noises, but right now, they just want to hear Ninomiya and only Ninomiya.
But Ninomiya would wanna hear them, right?
Ninomiya felt like jelly, his head was spinning and he could barely breathe when Isoda's tongue entered his mouth, he felt fuzzy.... so fuzzy... the butterflies fluttering in his stomach as he continues to kiss them.
Isoda goes for a rougher approach, tongue relentless as they pushed his hips closer to them, wanting to be as close as physically possible. Ninomiya felt weak and powerless in the best way imaginable, he wishes he could make this moment last forever. He hopes that everytime he closes his eyes that he'll feel their hands again, their lips... he wants to hear Isoda's soft noises forever.
Mion pulled away so they could both catch their breaths, before kissing up his jawline, soft little pecks, moving up to his eye, continuing to kiss all over his face. "You're so beautiful, Youhei." Isoda's voice was raspier, softer... the smell of their sweet lemon perfume filling Ninomiya's nostrils.
He didn't feel like he was a spectacle, like something to use, Isoda made him feel loved and appreciated. "You smell good..." he whispered back, before latching onto their neck, "Can I?"
"Uh- y-yeah...-" He kissed Isoda's neck, small pecks everywhere, just to show his love and affection for them in a way he knew how.
He loves them, a lot.
...
After a while, they were both tired, facing eachother as they caught their breath.
"That was... fun, actually..." Isoda chuckled with a smile on their face, reaching out to hold Ninomiya's hand. "What are you, a professional playboy or something? You're really good at this."
Ninomiya snorted and gripped their hand tighter. "Nah dude, experience. And also, you were really good too. Don't make me take all the credit, I'm humble."
It was the redheads turn to snort as they interlocked fingers and started playing with his hands. "Saying you're humble makes you look less humble, actually." Ninomiya rolled his eyes.
"Oh shut UP. I am SO humble that my humbleness ascends the rules of... whatever stupid rule you said- and ACTUALLY my humbleness increases the more I say I'm humble because that also makes me self-aware and honest."
"...Dude?" Isoda just laughed at him, punching the poor guy yet again, "Shut up???"
"Ohhh come onnnn Miooocchiiii~ you looooove me!"
"Do not."
"Do toooooo!"
"Shut uuuuppppp...." They lunged at Ninomiya's shoulder to hide their face as violinist calls them out. "You're so weird. I'm gonna wait for you to get cancelled so I could live peacefully."
"Dude what would I even get cancelled for?" Their head pulled away once again to stare at him,
"I dunno. For bullying me?"
"We tongued eachother like five seconds ago."
"Pfft- no- but I almost fell off my chair cause of you earlier! You pushed my chair!" They pointed at him accusingly,
"But you lived?" He pointed back,
"What about you cutting and selling parts of my hair?" They poked his forehead,
"CONSENSUALLY, may I add. You were like, totally willing, dude." He moved his head away, "hey- dude dude stop poking stop POKING!!"
"You could get cancelled for making out with me?" Isoda ignored his pleas for them to stop,
He swatted their hands away, "I'll cancel you for poking me, then we'd be even." he smirked.
"Don't be so cruel... How will my career ever recover?" Ninomiya stuck his tongue out at them as they sarcastically complained. "Whatever, dude, I'm fucking BEAT. Let's sleep. We can't talk all night, you gotta have some energy for tomorrow." The long haired boy uttered.
Isoda yawned and hugged him by his waist, nuzzling into his chest, "Aye, aye, captain." Ninomiya's hands wrapped around Isoda before one of them sheepishly begins running it's fingers through Isoda's hair, "G'night."
"G'night, Miocchi."
They were obviously spent because after six or seven minutes, they were completely passed out in eachothers arms, sleeping soundly.
...
They probably still would be asleep if not for the sun intruding through the blinds of the window and burning their Ninomiya's eyes awake. He woke up to the utaite all cuddled up against him, resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. There couldn't possibly be a better feeling.
He wishes he could see their face right now. Isoda has fallen asleep a few times during class, or at sleepovers, or at times where they share hotels together for performances and school trips – but he likes to imagine seeing them up close, being able to count all of the freckles scattered on their face and see as parts of their face twitch. He wishes he could tuck their hair behind their ear as he stares at them. To occasionally be able to kiss their forehead...
That's... not creepy, right?
He doesn't remember the last time he felt like this, or this intensely. It's kind of scary, but Isoda makes it less scary. They always do.
"...Y...ouhei?" A sleepy voice murmured, slightly muffled as Ninomiya felt eyelashes and lips tickling him on his chest. "G'morning..." He answered them, before yawning. "How'd you sleep?"
Isoda pulled away from his chest to look at him, eyes half-lidded. "I don't know how you think I could've slept bad after that." they chuckled. "Still bit sleepy though..."
Ninomiya snorted, "Wake up or I'm tickling you like last time-" he wiggled his fingers deviously at them like he was gonna pounce-
Isoda instantly sat up and lightly shoved him, "Don't??? I'll fight you???" they grabbed a pillow before beating him with it.
"Ouch- ouchieeeee!!! Mion, off! Get off!!" He laughed as he was relentlessly attacked without mercy. "Die already!" Isoda replied,
"Blegh." He pretends to die for a moment as they roll their eyes... Isoda wonders if they should talk about what happened last night. Is... Ninomiya even ready for a relationship? Even if he's not, Mion is willing to wait if possible, as long as they can stay by eachothers side.
And they will stay at eachothers side, cause who else would they wanna stay with?
