Chapter Text
Hirose has a plan.
“Please, come in.”
He has a brilliant plan.
“You can use these blue slippers. Let me know if they fit you alright.”
A two-step brilliant plan that was already succeeding.
“No one is really here right now. My sister is out shopping with my mom, thank goodness.”
Step one, be invited to Nakamura’s house. Hirose has successfully been invited and has infiltrated his boyfriend’s home. Now on to step two.
“I haven’t really told them that we’re dating yet. I plan to, eventually, but I’ve never actually told my mom that I’ve had a boyfriend before, so I don’t really know how to. I’m afraid of just blurting it out. I want to tell her with some delicacy…and make sure my little sister doesn’t find out at all or else I’ll never hear the end of it.”
Hirose chuckles lightly, “it’s nice that you’re so close to your family, Nakamura. I haven’t told my family either. I know if I do my sister is going to tease me relentlessly and my mother is going to hound me with questions. That’s what they did the last time they found out I was dating someone. I learned my lesson then.”
Nakamura laughs a little, “I feel like my sister would be cruel to me, saying really? Someone actually wants to date you? And things like that.”
“Wow, that really is mean. Then you would have to answer her and say, yes, he is completely in love with me and cherishes me very much and can’t imagine what his life without me would be like.”
Nakamura’s face flusters, his scent bursting out of him as he makes a choking sound. “Sh-she-she’d probably hate that.”
“But you love hearing it, don’t you?” Hirose smiles slyly.
Nakamura refuses to answer and quickly changes the subject, “I-I’ll meet you in my room! I’m going to get our snacks, so go ahead without me!”
“Nakamura–”
Hirose calls out his name, but his boyfriend flees from him and runs into the kitchen. Hirose pouts a little bit. He can run now, but he isn’t going to be able to hide for long. Hirose heads up the stairs towards Nakamura’s bedroom, knowing where to go since he had visited his home so many times before as his friend.
It’s different now as his boyfriend though. This is Hirose’s first time coming over as his boyfriend and when he enters inside of the room all he can smell is his omega. Hirose smiles as he basks in the scent for a little while. He takes a deep inhale of breath, sweet fruits and florals filling up his senses. It makes his chest feel warm and his body grow relaxed. How had he been able to hide his scent from him whenever he visited in the past? Or had Nakamura hid his scent in his own home too, never allowing it to be free. Hirose places his jacket down on the dresser and greets his boyfriend’s roommate.
“Hello Icchan, it’s been a while. How are you doing today?” Hirose asks, tapping his finger against his tank.
Icchan wiggles around under water and brings one of his tentacles up. Hirose likes to imagine that’s him waving hello and chuckles.
“I’m not sure if your Dad has told you, but the two of us are dating now! You probably knew for a long time that he had feelings for me. I’m very sorry for taking so long to realize it and hope you can forgive me. I promise to take very good care of him and make sure he never feels sad or cries again, so please give me your blessing.”
Hirose bows down lightly and waits a couple of seconds before looking back up. Icchan has moved closer to the tank wall now, placing his tentacles all over the glass.
“Thank you. I’ll make him happy, I swear it.”
He might be acting a bit ridiculous and silly, but Hirose doesn’t care. He knows how much his boyfriend cherishes his pet octopus and the person (or pet) that knows Nakamura best is probably him. Hirose has some catching up to do, but he’s not going to lose to an octopus. He heads over towards Nakamura’s bed and sits down on top of it.
Before, when they were best friends, Hirose would just lay down without a second thought or care in the world, but now…would it be perverted of him to lay in his boyfriend’s bed? To place his head down on his pillow?...And give it a sniff?
No, no, no, that last part is probably crossing the line, but sitting down on it is innocent enough. Hirose shakes his head.
He takes a deep breath and sighs out. Hirose doesn’t know if Nakamura noticed his nervousness. His heart hasn’t stopped racing since he arrived here and even now, knowing that he is about to enact the second step to his plan, he feels it taking off. That’s not something that he can control though. Hirose’s heart always races whenever he’s about to kiss his partner…it’s never felt like he’s about to have a heart attack and die though.
This must be what Nakamura feels whenever they kiss, which is when Hirose’s plan was formed. The two of them have been dating for a month now, a wonderful, blissful month, and during that month they’ve kissed twice. Hirose has no problem with this. He knows that this is Nakamura’s first relationship and he understands that everything is probably all new to him. He would never force his boyfriend into doing anything that he didn’t want to do or make him do anything he wasn’t comfortable with.
That being said though, what Hirose has a tiny problem with is that whenever his boyfriend does kiss him…he tends to run away right afterwards. He’s done it twice before, each time they’ve shared a kiss, and Hirose wants to discover the reason why and hopefully solve that issue as well today (although if he’s being honest the reason Nakamura probably does run away is because he feels so embarrassed after they kiss).
Today he plans on kissing Nakamura! Kissing his boyfriend like crazy, in hopes that he’ll get used to their kisses and stop wanting to run away afterwards. Plus, Nakamura doesn’t know how to kiss, since he’s never kissed anyone, so Hirose would also be teaching him as well. That is why he asked his boyfriend if he could come over this weekend and that is what he plans on asking him to do once he returns back to his bedroom.
If he is alright with it then great! They get to spend their evening kissing, but if Nakamura decides against it, then he can spend a relaxing evening cuddling with his boyfriend. Either way was a win-win for Hirose.
I’d be happy with anything as long as I’m spending time with Nakamura…I do hope we get to kiss at least once today though. I haven’t forgotten how soft his lips felt or how sweet his scent became. He doesn’t really have good control over his pheromones. I mean, it makes sense since he’s been hiding them this entire time. He’s never had to control them, but hopefully he gets a better hang of it soon. I don’t know how much strength I have left to be able to resist it for very long.
“Hirose, could you open the door for me?”
“Ah, sure! Hold on!”
Hirose jumps out of bed and walks over towards the bedroom door. He had no idea why he closed it since the two of them are the only ones in the house. Probably out of habit. He opens the door wide and Nakamura comes in carrying a tray with two drinks and a bowl of snacks. His boyfriend walks over to his desk and places it down while he sits back down on the bed.
“Thank you. I bought some of your favorite chips recently and have been saving them for you.”
“Oh wow, thanks Nakamura. You didn’t have to do that. I, um…I’m not really feeling hungry at the moment, so I’ll eat them a bit later.”
“Alright. Should I put a movie on my laptop for us to watch?”
“A movie? Ah, well, that’s a good idea, but, hmm, maybe we can watch it a little later?”
Nakamura turns around and gives his boyfriend a strange look, “oh, okay.”
First he doesn’t want to eat his favorite chips and then he doesn’t want to watch a movie? That’s always what we do though whenever he comes over, unless it’s to study or do homework. Why isn’t he meeting my eyes right now? Is there something wrong? Nakamura wonders.
“What would you like to do, Hirose?”
Hirose does two strange things. First, he flinches where he sits. Second, his face turns a soft shade of pink. Nakamura blinks and feels his own cheeks flustering. Suddenly he regrets asking that question.
“Can we talk? For a bit?”
“...About what?” Nakamura asks slowly.
He’s on guard now because whatever is making his boyfriend blush means that it’s something embarrassing. What was he thinking? The two of them are all alone in his home with no adult supervision for at least another two or three hours. Hirose isn’t that type of alpha! He would never take advantage of their situation…and although Nakamura has imagined such scenarios before, there is no way he can take advantage of their situation either!
“About what happened the other day…when we kissed and then you…ran away from me.”
“Oh,” Nakamura says.
“Oh?” Hirose repeats. “You sound surprised. What did you think I was going to say?”
Nakamura’s face goes from a slight red to a very bright red. Hirose raises an eyebrow up at him as he smirks a little, his expression saying it all.
“I-I-I don’t know! It do-doesn’t matter, what did you say again? About our kiss?” Nakamura asks.
He walks over towards his bed and sits next to Hirose, placing his hands on his lap as he takes deep breaths in and out to calm himself down. Hirose chuckles a tiny bit, but decides not to tease since he does have a plan here. He scoots over closer to Nakamura and reaches out to grab his hand.
“You ran away after we kissed. You did that the first time as well. How come? It’s not because I’m a bad kisser, is it?” Hirose pouts.
“N-no! Not at all!” Nakamura immediately responds. “Although you probably won’t believe me since I’ve only kissed you in my life, I didn’t think it was bad! Or awful! It made me really happy and I enjoyed it!”
Nakamura can’t believe he’s revealing something so embarrassing…although he’s a little happy he did when he sees the bright smile that appears on Hirose’s face.
“Good, I’m glad, Nakamura. How come you ran away though?”
Nakamura’s face scrunches up as he looks away, “I…it was instinct. I was happy, but I was also embarrassed, and it freaked me out a little. I’ve always…wanted to kiss you, but when we actually kiss…I feel my fight or flight instinct take over me and I want to run away as far as I can. I feel that a lot whenever you do things that make my heart race, which is most of the time, hahaha. Sometimes I can fight it, but when the feelings overwhelm me then…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you think that I didn’t want to kiss you or that I don’t enjoy doing so.”
“Oh no, no, Nakamura. I didn’t think that, I was only joking with what I said before. I thought it might have been for a reason like that, but I wanted to know for sure. You say I do a lot of things that make your heart race. Is holding your hand one of them?”
Nakamura nods his head and squeezes Hirose’s hand, “yes, but I’ve gotten used to it now. My heart doesn’t race as much as it first did.”
“Hmm, hmm, I see, so do you think…if we perhaps…practiced? Kissing right now? Do you think you will get used to it?”
Nakamura stills.
“Your heart could get used to it…and I could teach you how to kiss, so you would know if it feels good or not…and I would also learn what makes you feel good or not…and you can say no, Nakamura. You can completely refuse me, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or make you do something you don’t wish to do. We can watch a movie on your laptop and–”
“I…would like to, I don’t know if I’d…be able to though.” Nakamura whispers.
Hirose freezes before he takes a deep breath. He leans forward and reaches out his free hand, gently placing it on Nakamura’s cheek. He turns his head to look over at him and sees how bright his eyes are right now.
“Tell me to stop and I will, okay? I swear to you I will.”
Nakamura gulps and squeezes his eyes shut really tightly as he nods his head.
Cute…Hirose thinks to himself before leaning forward.
He presses their lips together softly, just a gentle peck. Nakamura’s lips feel soft, but firm as well. He’s pressing them tightly together as he sits perfectly still. Hirose tries kissing him again, a little longer this time. His boyfriend is the one who pulls back first and gasps a little. His hand is trembling inside Hirose's and his scent is starting to flood the room. Nakamura looks over at him and takes a deep breath before leaning forward. He’s the one that initiates the kiss this time, but Hirose still takes control of it. This time, very lightly, he parts open his mouth and runs his tongue against Nakamura’s lips.
His omega flinches back.
“Nakamura, I’m sorry–”
“No, no, I just-I need a moment. I don’t want to stop, my heart isn’t strong enough to handle this though. My instincts are telling me to run and hide although I really want to stay and kiss you.”
Hirose is amazed and perplexed at the same time. He’s never had an omega react to him like this before. In his previous relationships kissing was normal. A peck here, some tongue there. Although it always made him nervous, Hirose was still able to do it. His omega girlfriends always giggled afterwards, sometimes looking shyly, but never like this. Never like Nakamura. Hirose’s instincts are telling him to steal his omega and hide him away where no one can see his adorable face right now.
“Can I do something that might help you with that?”
“Please, if you know something.”
“I have an idea. I’ve never tried it before, but let's see how it works out.”
It is a crazy, spur of the moment idea, but Hirose is already on the move, so he doesn’t stop now. He scoots over closer to Nakamura before getting up on the bed. He supports himself on his knees and reaches his hands out for his boyfriend’s shoulders, gently holding onto them as he climbs into his lap and sits down right on it. Nakamura’s mouth drops wide open and his brain short circuits for a second before quickly shouting out.
“How is this better?! You’re going to kill me!”
“Hahaha, well, this way you have nowhere to run, Nakamura.” Hirose says with a grin. He wraps his arms around his neck, “I have you in my arms completely. If this isn’t okay with you we can stop. Is it okay, Nakamura?”
This…this feels like a dream. A dream I’ve had so many times before…NEVER MIND! DON’T THINK THAT! MY DREAMS ARE NOT INNOCENT! FORGET THE DREAM! FORGET THE DREAM! Nakamura has a mental breakdown.
“It-it’s fine.”
“Are you sure? I’m not too heavy for you, am I?”
“Just-just kiss me.”
“Yes, my omega. I’m going to use my tongue again, so this time you try using yours too.”
Hirose gives him a warning and some pointers before he leans him and kisses him. Nakamura squeezes his eyes close and leans into the kiss as well. He very shyly sticks his tongue out and gasps when Hirose’s tongue brushes against it. That was a very stupid mistake though because now his mouth is open and his boyfriend slides his tongue inside of his mouth, tasting him. Nakamura starts to tremble underneath him. His hands clench against his blankets and he wonders just exactly what he did in his previous life to be so blessed in this one.
“Hmm, Nakamura, relax. You’re doing great. It feels really nice, doesn’t it?” Hirose asks gently.
He raises one of his hands and runs it through Nakamura’s hair. His fingers rub against his scalp and Hirose releases his pheromones, trying to calm his omega. It does the trick, partly. Nakamura hums as he leans into his boyfriend’s touches. As much as he hates to admit this, Hirose feels so small inside of his lap right now. He knows that his boyfriend is taller than him, but he’s feeling just how much bulkier he was as well. The way that Nakamura completely leans into and melts underneath his touches though, that makes nothing else matter.
“You can touch me too, you know. Your hands don’t have to stay so politely at your sides.”
“Huh? Oh, right.”
Nakamura stops balling up his blankets and lifts his hands up. He hesitates on where to put them; Hirose’s back, his shoulders, in his hair to pet him too, or on his hips. That’s also an option, a safe option. Nakamura places them right on his hips.
Yeah, this feels like the best. His hips feel neutral and I can catch him in case he starts to fall backwards. This is fine. Nakamura cries inwardly, wishing he were a little bit braver to be more adventurous.
He believes he’s being plenty adventurous right now though. Hirose grins before he tries to kiss him again. With each kiss he gives his boyfriend more pointers, “a little more tongue,” “tilt your head more,” “a little less tongue that time, Nakamura,” “hmm, don’t forget to breathe.” He doesn’t know how long their make-out session goes on for, but Hirose feels like his boyfriend gets a better hang of it and perhaps even grows used to it as well.
Nakamura’s scent leaks out of him more and more until it’s practically intoxicating as the two of them sit alone in this tiny little room. He gasps out and moves his head to the side to catch his breath. Hirose doesn’t waste time and starts to kiss his cheek, and then his neck, rubbing his nose against his scent gland. He resists the urge to lick it, since his boyfriend told him to warn him next time, so instead Hirose kisses it gently.
AHHHHH! I AM GOING TO DIE! I AM GOING TO EXPLODE! I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN LAST! Nakamura’s head grows dizzy.
“Okuto, I love you.”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Nakamura teeters back and forth before he falls back on his bed, completely passing out. Hirose gasps as he stares down at him.
“Nakamura?! Nakamura! Hey, what happened?! Nakamura, wake up!”
What’s going on?! Why did he suddenly pass out like that?! Is he still alive? Is he still breathing?! Should I call an ambulance?! Why did this happen?! Hirose panics.
“Nakamura! Nakamura!”
He gets off his boyfriend’s lap and starts to shake his shoulders, really panicking right now. Nakamura shakes his head before slowly opening his eyes. He lets out a sharp yell, freaking Hirose out as he falls back and yells out as well.
“Ah!”
“Ah! Nakamura, what’s happening?! You’re worrying me!”
“Why?! Why did you do that?! You can’t surprise me like that! I already told you that I need to be warned! You can’t just suddenly call me by my first name! Do you want me to die?!”
Nakamura freaks out as he hugs his knees to his chest and goes into his defense position, all tucked into himself. Hirose blinks as he opens his mouth.
He passed out…and woke up screaming…because I called him by his first name?
“Hahahaha, I think you’re being a bit too dramatic. You’re not going to die if I call you Okuto–”
“AHHH! Stop it, Hirose!”
“Is your heart racing? It should be the same as kissing and holding hands. The more you hear it, the more you’ll get used to it, right? We’ve been friends for so long, and we’re dating now too, so it should be normal for us to call each other by our first names. I would enjoy it if you called me Aiki.”
“Hirose, if you say one more word I will die. I need time to recover.”
And right as he says that, Nakamura falls onto his bed and rests his head down on his pillow. He groans inside of it, the sound muffled because of the cushion. Hirose lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
Well, to be honest, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. Nakamura is so strange…and cute, and adorable. I love the way he acts like this, so innocent and pure. Although how easily embarrassed he gets is an obstacle, I would hate if I never got to see it anymore. I hope he never gets too used to doing things with me.
Hirose moves over and falls down into the pillows right next to Nakamura. He reaches out to rub the back of his boyfriend’s head.
“I’m sorry. Maybe I was rushing a bit there at the end. We’re moving at our own pace and I would like for us to be on the same pace, not one ahead of the other, so if you say you’re not ready then I will respect that, Nakamura. Just know that whenever you are ready, feel free to call me by my first name. I’ll take that as permission to call you the same.”
Nakamura slowly turns his head, one of his eyes peeking out from his pillow, “really? You don’t…don’t mind?”
“What? Don’t be ridiculous, Nakamura. I love you. I’m happy to go at whatever pace you want to move at. I’m just so happy that I get to be beside you as we do.”
Nakamura hides his face again for a couple of seconds as he takes deep breaths in his pillow before he peeks again.
“I love you too…and maybe once I get used to us kissing…then maybe that can be our next step. I don’t think I can handle both though, that is going to kill me.”
“I see, well I definitely don’t want you to die, so I’ll keep calling you Nakamura. My Nakamura.”
Hirose runs his fingers through Nakamura’s hair, brushing his bangs back so he can see the happy look on his face. It feels so nice and soothing to have his hair played with, Nakamura can’t help but close his eyes. His breathing starts to even out and eventually his face turns back to normal as he falls asleep. Hirose watches him the entire time, not being able to keep his eyes off of him.
“I love you, Okuto,” he whispers.
He wonders if he’s going to suddenly wake up, but Nakamura stays peaceful, so he guesses he really was asleep.
“Hmm…love you…Aiki,” Nakamura mumbles.
Hirose’s eyes widen as his face flusters. He leans over and presses a kiss against Nakamura’s forehead before settling down right next to him and closes his eyes.
