"Big brother! Please, you need to wake up, Yuu will be over in an hour!"
Idia groaned, nudging his face insistently into his warm pillows. Today was already too much to deal with, and he'd only just woken up! After spending most of the night before grinding on a few video games after promising Ortho he'd just do his dailies and go to bed, Idia, for a lack of better words, felt like complete and utter shit. The eyebags under his piercing yellow eyes were far more pronounced then usual, and Ortho frowned slightly at the sight.
"Brother!"
Ortho flapped his hands around in frustration before grabbing onto one of Idia's many blankets and yanking it off.
"What have I told you about your gaming?!"
Poor Idia squawked as he was yanked from his sheets.
"Eep-! Waitwaitwait Ortho hold on a second!!!"
The little android yanked the binders open, earning a loud, joking hiss from his elder brother. With the window now semi-open Idia found himself waking up a little more despite the comfort of his sheets practically singing his name.
"Okayyy.... I'm up... Might need to re-code those window opening buffs Ortho, totally ruining my sleeping sched."
Despite his words the bluenette was already stretching his arms above his head, mentally preparing for having Yuu come over to the Ignihyde dorm building. Into his room. That thought was what REALLY woke him up.
"WAIT!!!!! YUU'S COMING OVER! AGHHHH I TOTALLY FORGOT, GOSH OVERNIGHT GAMING ADDED A DEBUF TO MY MEMORY!"
Idia panics, quickly zooming around his room as Ortho watched him panic to pick things up and hide anything the blunette thought Yuu might find 'weird' or 'nerdy'. Ortho decided to simply go out into the common room of the Ighnihyde to wait for Idia's guest to arrive. On the other hand, Idia was still panicking, chucking a whole pile of both clean and dirty laundry into the closet before slamming the door.
"Seven's please give me strength, I need to pick ALL of this up like right now, oh jeez-!"
He cuts himself off when he realises the time, seeing that Yuu could be there at any moment and his room still had some empty energy drink cans and chip packets littered around along with his bed being a literal nest of pillows, blankets and plushies.
"Oh sevens, oh sevens oh sevens!!"
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────
Yuu adjusted his uniform nervously, pulling at the tie he'd tied into a bow with a little grimace. Maybe showing up an hour early wasn't the best idea, especially since Idia tended to panic when plans did not go exactly the way the gamer had set them. The entire Ighnihyde common room was so blue and technological, it put Yuu's gaming set up back home to shame with just how many monitors and screens were just littered around the place.
"....Maybe this was a bad idea..."
He hummed more to himself then anyone, glancing around the desolate space. Desolate as in a lack of people that was. There was plenty of things going on within the common room, but it was just the fact that there was no living humans in sight that made the activity filled space feel empty somehow. When he spotted Ortho, all that unease almost instantly melted away.
"Ortho! Hey little guy, do you know if Idia is awake or is he still napping?"
Ortho spun around in an instant, earning an earnest chuckle from Yuu.
"Yuu!!! Big brother is awake, he's just cleaning up his room. I can unlock the door for you if you'd like!"
After nodding and smiling, Yuu simply followed the floating android through the halls of the dorm until they reached a sliding door that looked a little bit fancier compared to all the other dorm doors in the building. This must have been Idia's room. Yuu sighed and began to fidget with the hem of his blazer, staring at the door with an almost nervous shine in his eyes.
"Are you really sure it's okay for me to just barge in? I mean, I know I was invited and all but I just think-"
Before he could even think about saying another word, Ortho opened the bedroom door and clapped his hands together with two loud metallic clangs.
"Big brother, Yuu is here!!"
Yuu watched as Idia spun around on his heel and began freaking out, the blunette's face paling more then Yuu thought it could ever because of how pale his complexion normally was.
"Uhm.... Hey Ids... Whatchu' doing?"
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────
Idia froze. Like, full body freezing froze. Yuu was right there, right in front of his door, and his room wasn't even halfway finished!! The ends of his hair quickly ignited into a light pink, the flickers of pink crawling their way up the fiery ends of his hair.
"Eep!!!! Yuu, uhm hey hello. This is so awkward, like, a full damage hit to my hp! I-... Uhm.... Do you want to come in?"
The blunette shuffles on the spot, fidgeting with a shirt he'd found on the floor whilst gnawing on his bottom lip. Ortho had floated off once again, the little idiot, and that just left poor Idia to deal with his guest who he'd invited but his poor heart wasn't really ready to see Yuu in his room. He watched as Yuu slowly entered his bedroom and looked around, and all he could muster was an awkward squeak as the other man sifted through some of the books and manga he had on the shelf.
"S-so uh.... Want to play a game?"
Dumbass! Yuu definitly didn't want to play video games with him, especially with how disgusting and slobby his room was, no wonder he hadn't said anything to him yet!
Yuu turned around and blinked all slow like a little kitty cat, before a small smile quirked up in the corners of his mouth.
"I would love too.."
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────
That was how Idia found himself almost cuddled against Yuu.
The two had decided to play a go-karting game, and even though Idia had claimed that he wasn't going to go easy on the other man, he was clearly holding back.
"Agh! Noooo come one how did you dodge a blue shell!?"
Yuu squeaked, flapping his hands around before draping himself over the taller man beside him in an attempt to snatch his gaming controller from him. Idia's hair once again burst out into a vibrant pink, flickering out and around him like crazy. Yuu's hand had touched his hand!! His heart sped up ten fold, even if he was just trying to steal his controller, Idia still couldn't stand the simple contact against his touch-starved skin. The blunette and Yuu's faces were so close together as Yuu leaned over him again, reaching over to try and steal the controller after Idia reclaimed first for the fourth time that round.
"Awwhhhh~! C'mon Idia, let me winn!!!"
Yuu whined playfully, dramitcally flopping himself down onto Idia's lap like some kind of distressed princess.
"You'll upset my poor widdle fweelings..."
He let his mouth pull into an over dramatic pout, watching as Idia's hair went an even more vibrant shade of pink, his face flushing red out of nervousness. This made him an easy target and he knew that, but his heart couldn't handle Yuu when he acted like that! Idia shook his head, lifting his hands up and over his head before securing his first place victory when he realised that Yuu was deliberately trying to distract him from the game. In the end Idia ended up winning seven out of the ten rounds they played. Little did he know, Yuu had a trick up his sleeve as punishment for Idia winning.
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────
"EEKKK!!!!"
Idia squealed, squirming around like a gangly oriental short hair kitten as Yuu tickled his sides beneath his blue over-sized hoodie. He totally didn't deserve such a punishment, but Yuu wasn't giving in to his gasping pleas anymore.
"Yuu-! Ahk, s-stop it you're s-so so toxic... I-I'll get Ortho to laser beam you if you don't stop it right now eeep!!!"
With a loud loud, Idia continued to squirm and curl into himself whilst being tickled incessantly by Yuu's grubby normie hands. Even though he could have easily called for Ortho to help him or even just used his magic to push Yuu away, Idia didn't mind the touching and tickling strangely enough. That was a whole can of worms Idia did not want to unpack at the moment, considering Yuu was sticking his tongue out at him like he'd won the VDC.
"Mwahhahaa!!! You can't escape these hands Idia!"
Yuu proclaimed, sitting up to take a quick breather before pouncing back in to keep 'punishing' the blunette beneath him. This back and fourth between the two continued for around five minutes before eventually Yuu grew tired and let go of him. A relieved gasp escaped Idia, but this reprive was short-lived as the man above him flopped his entire body weight down onto him and wrapped his around his shoulders and back. Idia full-body froze again, this time his ENTIRE head of hair going bright pink, feeling the man of whom he loved with his entire otaku heart literally cuddling against him. It felt like his heart was going to squeeze itself into pieces and he was sure Yuu could hear his heartbeat thumping like a bass drum within his chest.
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────
"U-uhm.. Yuu?"
Idia whispered in a meek voice, hands slightly curling into the white dress shirt Yuu had been wearing beneath his blazer. Yuu raised his head and leant his chin up against Idia's chest with a small smile.
"Yeah Idia? If there is anything you need me to do, just let me know okay?"
He tilted his head back down to listen to Idia's calmed heartbeat. Yuu then moved his hands to rest against the cool bedsheets beneath them both.
"I can even get off of you if you get overwhelmed... I'm your guest and would hate to over-step....."
The prefects voice quieted a fraction, a soft almost impossible to hear affectionate lilt present as he spoke, something Idia picked up almost immediately. Idia's heart sped up once more and before he could stop himself, his hands had already began to cling tighter to Yuu's dress-shirt.
"Hold on!"
Idia gasped, shaking his head quickly. The blunettes legs shifted restlessly beneath the both of them, a nervous tic that happened when he couldn't move his arms for one reason or another.
"......Please don't go..."
Yuu listened as Idia's tone shifted into a soft, pitiful plea, the gamer nudging his nose against the top of Yuu's head. This was it. Idia couldn't keep his thoughts in his brain anymore or it'd go mushy from how much he'd been crushing on Yuu!!
"Listen, Yuu..... I uhm..."
Idia squirmed a little more and his voice lowered to a meek whisper.
"I.... I really like you.. Like, REALLY really like you. And I can't keep that secret to myself anymore.... P-Please... Please don't hate me!"
This was it. Yuu surely hated him now! He was afraid to open his eyes because what if Yuu never ever wanted to see his face ever again after this. He was just a otaku loser who spent most of his time holed up in his room gaming all the time, Yuu surely didn't love him back-
Idia was yanked from his self-depriving thoughts when he felt the soft pressure of warmth against his lips. Yuu could tell by the way Idia was clinging to him that he was terrified, and if he said anything he could send Idia into a panic, so giving him a little kiss was the only thing he could think of to express his love back to him. Idia opened his eyes wide and stared at Yuu, who stared back at him just as shocked.
"Did that... J-Just happen?"
Idia softly mumbled, staring at Yuu with a growing affection shine in his eyes. Yuu simply nodded, his face flushing just as pink as Idia's hair as the two began to giggle back and fourth like little school girls. They spent the remainder of the evening cuddling whilst catching up on a few episodes of the anime Idia had introduced Yuu to, Yuu occasionally curling strands of Idia's hair around his finger absentmindedly.
