Work Text:
It was late at night during the long awaited Okinawa School trip. All the students of PK academy were fast asleep, resting after a disastrous day packed with excitement.
Everyone, that is, except..
“What the hell are you doing, Idiot!?” Kaidou shrieked, wiggling around angrily in Nendou’s tight hold.
“Huh…?” Nendou groaned sleepily, rubbing his eye with the palm of his hand. He looked down in his arms to see an angry, struggling Kaidou, and immediately burst into laughter.
“HAHAHA!! What, you hugging me in your sleep now, runt? I mean, can’t say I blame you! Just look at me~” Nendou smirked as he reached down to ruffle Kaidous hair. Kaidou was furious.
“YOU’RE the one who hugged ME in his sleep! I was just here sleeping peacefully, when all of a sudden I wake up in your death grip!!”
It was then they suddenly heard the door slide open, causing both of them to freeze up. They slowly turned their heads towards the door, only to find Takahashi and his two friends Shuuji and Jaga, staring at them.
“Why the hell are you two being so lou-… what the hell…” Takahashi mumbled, staring down at the two in mild disbelief.
“Pffft- what the hell are those two losers doing?” Shuuji whispered, chuckling under his breath. Kaidou could feel his face burning as he finally managed to successfully shove Nendou away.
“N-N-Nothing!! We are doing nothing!! And who are you calling losers?! Nendou I understand, but I am not a LOSER!” Kaidou shrieked, his voice cracking slightly.
“Hey, what do you mean by that?! I’m way cooler than you, runt!” Nendou retorted. Takahashi let out an exasperated groan.
“Look, we are only on Okinawa for a couple days. I don’t CARE if you do gay shit, just be quiet about it!! We have to sleep to be well rested for our reworked master plan involving the baths tomorrow, ehehe…” Takahashi muttered grossly, but Kaidou was far too focused on something else to even be thinking about the concerns involving the possible perverted things his roommates were planning.
“GAY SHIT?? HUH?? WHAT??”
“Stop yelling, Kaidou!! Geez, I can see why Saiki left you guys.” Takahashi sighed before the three of them walked back out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
“Hey, where is my partner? I miss him!” Nendou exclaimed, scratching the side of his head as he looked around the empty room. “I meant to hug him, but I guess I hugged you instead. Sorry about that, ehe!”
“Ugh, well, at least I spared Saiki the embarrassment..” Kaidou mumbled before beginning to scoot back to his futon. Kaidou yelped as he suddenly felt a big hand grab onto his wrist.
“Wait… hold on pipsqueak… I.. aw, geez.. I usually sleep with my stuffed bear, but I forgot him on this trip! I can’t sleep without him! Can you just pretend you’re him for the night? You’re basically as small as a stuffed bear anyways!”
Kaidou felt his face explode into heat, unable to tell if it was from rage or embarrassment.
“The hell?! I’m not a stuffed bear, Nendou!!” Kaidou shrieked, but was abruptly shut up by Nendou slapping his hand over his mouth.
“Shhhhh! Takahashi is gonna come yell at us again, stupid!”
“Mph! You’re the stupid one!” Kaidou said as he pried his hand off of him. “Asking me to act as a stuffed animal… who do you think I am?!”
“A stupid little runt, that’s what! Now cmere! A hug won’t hurt ya!” With that, Nendou wrapped his big arms around Kaidou, the other boy gasping for air.
“Gahhhh- too tight too tight—!” Kaidou squealed. Nendou responded by loosening his grip slightly, resting his cheek ontop of Kaidou’s head.
“Ehe, sorry little guy! Well, night!”
For about 2 minutes Kaidou wriggled around and protested before promptly surrendering, resting his head against Nendou’s chest as he caught his breath. It seemed that even the act of wiggling about exhausted the boy.
“Huff.. huff… fine.. you win this round… but I will get my revenge..” Kaidou panted. Nendou, however, didn’t hear his spiel, already fast asleep. It wasn’t long until Kaidou followed in suit.

When Kaidou woke up that morning, he felt groggy. Groggy, but oddly comfortable. And warm. Unusually warm. On top of that, he can hear the faint sound of a heartbeat close to his ear.
He looked up, only to see Nendou's horrendously ugly face mere inches from his. He nearly screamed, bringing a hand up to quickly cover his mouth, his eyes darting down to stare directly forward at his chest. His eyebrows were knit as he replayed last nights interaction in his head.
All he could really think was five words.
Nendou is such an idiot!
Kaidou couldn't believe that not only he let himself be put in such an embarrassing situation, but he let them be caught by three people! Or possibly… four!
He looked behind his shoulder, seeing Saiki lying in his previously empty futon. Kaidou let out a groan of embarassment and hit his forehead lightly against Nendou’s chest. He did not like this situation one bit.
Especially considering he didn’t entirely hate it.
He felt quite safe in Nendou’s arms. He was nearly a foot taller than him, and quite beefy at that. He really did hold Kaidou like he was some sort of stuffed animal, and he found himself enjoying the feeling.
Being seen with Nendou was an automatic reputation killer at school. Kaidou knew it too well. When he walks around with Nendou, he notices many students giving them dirty looks. Calling them losers. He certainly wasn’t a loser, but being friends with Nendou made him a loser to boot. It made him upset. He worked hard on his personality, appearance, everything; and he was sure Nendou was ruining it.
He suddenly jerked slightly upon hearing the oaf let out an abnormally loud snore. He clicked his tongue and shot a glare up at the sleeping idiot.
But, Kaidou’s eyes softened. Not because he looked good or anything. In fact, he looked damn ugly when sleeping. He just looked clueless. Clueless to the somewhat mean thoughts Kaidou was thinking.
He hesitantly pressed his cheek against Nendou’s chest, listening closer to the soft pitter patter of his heart. It soothed his anxious thoughts, and he gently let his eyes close again.
Maybe Nendou wasn’t liked by many, but Kaidou didn’t mind him. He didn’t mind having him around, didn’t mind sharing a room with him, and didn’t mind being in his arms. Nobody needed to know he felt this way.
Kaidou slowly wrapped both arms around him, nuzzling his cheek a bit firmer into his chest.
He wasn’t sure what time it was, but he found himself not caring. As long as he got a few more minutes feeling more relaxed then he had in a long time.
