Today was the day, the last game of the season. To say that Sakura was pumped was an understatement. If they won this quidditch match that would make it a perfect season. The last match was against Hufflepuff today and while they weren’t as vicious as Slytherin, they are just as tough. They also had a new seeker, one that Sakura has been dying to challenge.
Momijikawa Sakae, the boy who had only transferred here this year and quickly became one of his rivals. Not that Sakura minded at all. No, Momijikawa was the real deal and he wanted to see what he was made of first hand.
His role wasn’t to most important on the team, Gryffindor was a strong enough team that even without him they could win. It felt amazing though when he did grab the snitch. So far both him and Momijikawa were even this year, one snitch win each. He had watched all the matches though and the other boy was no joke. Beaters struggled to hit him and he had the strength to hold his own when other seekers tried to shove him out of the way. His reflexes were on par with his own, so it should make for an interesting match.
Sakura was knocked out of his thoughts when he felt a strong hand land on his shoulder, Tsugeura enthusiastic voice nearly causing him to jump.” You got this Sakura! You and the rest of the team are gonna kick Hufflepuff butt!”
“Hey Tsuge-Chan, dont discount our house so quickly.” Kiryu let out a playful sigh before he went to lightly nudge Sakura.” I do hope you do great out there too, Sakura-Chan.”
Shaking his head a bit as he tightened his grip on his broom, Sakura glanced between the two who stood on either side of him.” Yeah yeah, Im just hoping for an interesting match is all. They gave us a good run last year.”
Nirei, who was walking in front of them with his notebook in hand, went to use his finger to flip to the page in his notebook about the quidditch players.” From what I can see, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are pretty even in terms of technique and strength. With only watching two games compared to all of your games, Sakura-san, it’s hard to tell who is the better seeker though.”
Suo moved over to look at Nirei’s book with his good eye, letting out a hum.” Two matches though and he nearly won the other one for them had they not shifted focus onto him. His eyes might just be as preceptive as yours, Sakura-kun.”
Sakura felt the a wicked smirk work its way across his face. He played against Hufflepuff last seeker last year, and he had been good too. After an accident though, Sako had to find a replacement, which is where Momijikawa comes in.
This had been the match he had been waiting for since meeting the other boy, win or lose he knows it’s going to be a good time.
“None of that matters, all that matters is how we play out there today. Now quit following me! I got to get ready for the match and you all are in the way!” He really did appreciate the fact they wanted to check in on him before each of his matches, even when it was against their own houses, he wanted to focus today.
Despite all of their different degrees of disappointment, his four friends all departed after some last minute encouraging words. Well as encouraging as some of them could be. Turning to head for the changing rooms, Sakura rest his broom against his shoulder. He didn’t have a special routine like any of the others did to get ready for a match, no he usually just enjoyed some peace before they had to go around the crowds.
The cheering was nice he guessed, but it wasn’t why he played. Finding something he was good at outside of fighting was why he tried so hard. To be one of the few to get accepted for a seeker position in his first year was one thing, now 5 years later he was close to taking the title for the best. He had another promising competitor to beat, and to help him claim this title. Thats why he got so pumped. All he ever wanted to prove was that he was better than the trash his family made him out to be, and he was so close to doing that.
Not paying attention when he turned the next corner, Sakura let out a small shout when he ran into something solid. He nearly tripped over his own feet when he reeled back but was saved by a firm hand grabbing his arm.” Haruka?”
Mismatched eyes flew open, wait when did he close them, before he looked up to slightly concerned Amber eyes. Well speak of the handsome devil, Sakura felt his face heat up when he realized the solid thing he ran into was Momijikawa, who didn’t look phased at all. Damn him and his solid build.” M-Momijikawa?”
He was positive that his face was glowing a light pink, and it only darkened when Momijikawa fixed him with his usual teasing grin.” Got your head in the clouds? Seems like this might be an easy match for me then.”
Oh how he wanted to wipe that grin off his face. Sadly they were short on time and neither of them would want to get in trouble with their teams for being late.
Yanking his arm away, Sakura let out a harsh ‘tsk’ before he went to take a step back.” You wish. I was just thinking about how hard I’m going to kick your ass out there.”
“Thinking about my ass are we? You might actually get me blushing.”
Unfortunately it wasn’t Momijikawa who blushed, no it was Sakura who somehow managed to gain his blush down his neck. How this bastard manage to get him flustered so quickly, he would never understand.” H-Huh?! Why would I-… Don’t be dumb!”
All he got in response was a laugh, which is better than the glare he used to get when they first met. No their relationship had drastically changed since then. Letting out a huff, Sakura went to stomp around the taller boy so he could continue on.” Laugh it up, you will be kissing my ass later when I win this thing.”
What no one else in the school knew was that at some point this year, what was just a simple rival turned into something a bit more romantic. Neither was in a rush to announce this fact though, especially considering the fuss everyone made about something like this match. There secret shared moments together were definitely enough for Sakura right now.
Having gotten into a relationship didn’t mean they weren’t still competitive though, both of them wanted this win and they weren’t going to let this get in between that. Though it might make it more fun.
“See you out on the field, Haruka!”
Sakura’s shoulders hunched up to his shoulders at the shout of his first name, luckily they were the only down this corridor at the moment. Glancing back over his shoulder to see the sappy smile on Momijikawa’s face, Sakura felt his face scrunch up.” See you out there.. S-Sakae.”
Before Momijikawa could embarrass him more or he died from all the blood rushing to his head, Sakura took off for the changing rooms. He needed to clear his head if he was going to show his boyfriend who the better Seeker is between the two of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dual color eyed scanned the air, not only watching the match around him but keeping an eye out for the little shiny ball he needed to catch. So far the match was an even 30 to 30 and both teams were fighting their hearts out. Hufflepuffs keeper, Inugami, was putting in extra work against their chasers, but he could tell it was wearing on him. He only had a year under his belt being a keeper, while his team had a good seven under theirs for the chasers. Hiragi, Tsubaki and Umemiya were a force to be reckoned with, able to coordinate together like it was second nature. It helped their beaters, Uryu and Seiryu, were perfectly in sync with them as well.
On the other hand, Arima and Kanuma were doing great at harassing their Keeper whenever their chasers came in for a score. Togame’s aim was impeccable, so Mizuki was having his hands full. Damn this was a good match.
It was only going to get better to when Sakura finally saw the shine he was looking for. Leaning forward on his broomstick he took off, his focusing zeroing in on the snitch. If there was one thing Sakura had going for him, it was his way to block out anything unnecessary out at times like this. Cheering crowds, anyone that wasnt the other seeker or the other teams beaters, they didnt matter in this moment. If they wont get in the way of him catching the snitch, he didnt need to focus on them.
Which is why he is able to swoop low the second he felt Momijikawa fly beside him to knock into him. Momijikawa was quick he would give him that, and with his size he could definitely knock him off course. Sakura wasnt going to let that happen though.
Seems he realized this because now their chase was also a game of cat and mouse. In the air Sakura knew he didn’t have the advantage a bulkier Seeker did with bumping into the other. What he did have was speed and quicker reflexes though. He used that as he held tight to his broom to swoop and spin out of the way.
Momijikawa kept up with him well, nearly close to matching some of the more creative techniques he had come up with to avoid getting hit. Sakura had to keep from thinking about how good he looked, so determined to throw him off and get the snitch before him. It got his heart racing.
It almost felt a little elegant, the way they flew around each other to try and catch the other off guard while flying after the same goal. Their eyes would meet for a brief second, wild grins shared between them before they were back into the chase. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was for the final win, Sakura could almost forget they were competing against one another.
Unfortunately he was brought back to reality when a bludger came swishing right past his face, giving Momijikawa the opening he needed to bumping into him full force. Sakura knew he hit hard but he didn’t realize just how hard, nearly flying off his broom just from the sheer force.
Momijikawa gave him a smirk as he took advantage of this chance to try and gain some distance on the snitch. Sakura felt a growl rip from his throat before he was off once more, his eyes landing back on the flying gold ball. He had to give it to Arima and Kanuma, juggling heckling him and their chasers wasn’t an easy feat but they were doing it well. Sadly for them, Sakura wasn’t one to get easily deterred.
It didn’t take him long to catch up to Momijikawa and he noticed the instant the snitch flew down towards the ground. Uryu was coming up on a bludger to send toward Momijikawa, so he took the chance to nose dive toward the ground so he could catch up to the snitch. If the other got caught in the twins impressive passing of the bludger towards him, he didn’t stand a chance.
Sakura just had to watch out for the second aggressive ball, but the snitch was right here. It flew close to the ground, which only left Sakura with one option. The minute he was flying right above the golden ball he tighten his thighs around his broomstick and let go with his hands, swinging his body down and around toward the snitch.
It was a risky move, one that if he didn’t pull off right he would be either at the mercy of falling off or someone hitting him. Luckily he knew just how much force he had to use to swing his body all the way around. The minute he felt his hands clasp around the little gold ball though he spotted it, Arima hitting the second Bludger straight for him.
Sakura had no time to dodge, all he could do was get himself back up right before the front of his broom was hit. He let out a shout as he was sent spinning, his legs letting go of his broom as he was sent rolling across the ground. It was fortunate that he was already close to the ground, or else he was sure he would have some broken bones here.
Being close didnt mean it wasn’t painful though, especially going as fast as he had been. He rolled onto his back, trying to get his head to stop spinning. While he didnt think anything was broken, he was definitely taking a trip to the nurse after this.
Everything came to a pause, everyone waiting to see if he held the end of the game in his hand or not. When Sakura opened his eyes, a groan slipping from his lips he could see the worried eyes of not just his team, but Momijikawa too. He held the amber eyed gaze with his own before he smirked, holding up his arm to reveal the snitch in between his fingers.
While the crowd went wild and his team flew down to cheer with him, he kept his eyes focused on his boyfriend. He could see he was disappointed that he didn’t win, but the proud smile he flashed at him was also completely genuine. Sakura would have flashed his own smile back at him, but let out a pained yell when he was lifted from his spot on the ground by his team. Hell, even his friends on the Hufflepuff team were celebrating him as well.
They ignored his shouts and wrestling to get put down so the could jostle him about. Maybe he would stay mad, but even he had to cave in eventually. He let his own laughter rang free as they went to carry him across the field. Maybe a little celebrating wouldn’t hurt for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura let out a heavy sigh as he laid back in his bed, his body still sore from the fall he had taken earlier. The nurse had given him a potion for the worst of the injuries but said some of the bruises would have to heal with time. That was fine with him, since it gave him an excuse to get away from the party down below.
As his calico cat, Mocha, came to lay beside him, Sakura closed his eyes as he relaxed. He felt good after that win, amazing actually, but something was missing. Momijikawa wasn’t here to talk with him about it.
It made it hard with them being in opposite houses since there was only certain periods they could hang out with each other. Sure, Sakura had snuck into the Hufflepuff dorm rooms on occasion, no one had figured out the tuxedo cat that appeared in there on occasion was him after all, but he couldnt right now.
Letting his fingers run along Mocha’s fur, he turned his head so he could open his eyes a little to look at the purring cat.” Still can’t believe I let Nirei name you.. You need something more fierce.”
The only response he got from his cat was it to rub its head lovingly against him, not giving off the air of a terrifying cat at all. Okay maybe Mocha did fit him, whatever.
When he heard his dorm room door open he didnt bother to look, figuring it was one of the party goers coming to heckle him.” I told you all Im not partying right now.”
“I guess it’s a good thing that’s not why I’m up here then.”
Sakura went to quickly sit up when he heard Momijikawa’s voice, letting out a hiss at the bruise on his side.” Sakae? What are you doing up here? How did you get up here?”
Momijikawa made sure the door was shut before he made his way over so he could sit on Sakura’s bed, a barely there smirk flashing at him.” You Gryffindors like to party. It wasn’t hard to slip in when they were letting others in.”
Sakura watched as Mocha hopped off the bed before he glanced back at his partner, moving a hand to his side that was hurting.” Well hopefully none of them come up here, they still want me to join them.”
“I think we will be okay, last I saw Choji was challenging them all to see who could chug the most punch in under a minute.” Momijikawa’s eyes roamed down to his side before he went to move closer to him, his leg brushing against Sakura’s crossed ones.” Let me have a look at your side.”
A flash of heat hit Sakura’s face as he went to glance at the door for a moment.” I-It’s fine, the nurse already looked me over.”
That only earned him an eye roll as Momijikawa gave him a playful smile.” I know, but that was a nasty fall you took. Im sure you’re still a little banged up. I seriously doubt they are coming up anytime soon..”
He could hear it in the other’s voice, the layer of concern that he was trying to hide. He wasnt used to the level of care Momijikawa had for him, but he also didnt like keeping him worried either. Letting out a sigh, Sakura glanced over at the other boy.” Fine, help me get my shirt off then.”
That earned him a snicker as Momijikawa went to grip the bottom of his shirt when he raised his arms up, letting out another hiss as it was pulled up and off of him.” Sorry, you should probably just keep that off for now.”
“You’re just saying that because you want to see me with it off.”
When that didnt earn him any kind of argument, Sakura blushed a bit. He never really saw anything really impressive with his own body, but Momijikawa always looked him over like he was something worth viewing. When he glanced down at his own torso, he could see the nasty bruise on his side he had landed on. He was sure there were more on the back of his arm and his back as well. Any serious damage was already taken care of, so he just had to endure the surface pain.
When a warm hand lightly touch over his side, thumb stroking over the bruise, Sakura felt a shudder run down his side. He couldn’t bring himself to look at Momijikawa, but he did perk up a bit when he heard him talk.” You looked pretty badass out there when you caught that snitch.. those reflexes of yours are something else.”
Letting out a small scuff, Sakura peaked up at him just a bit. He noticed the pinched look on his face as he examined the bruise, his fingers gliding down to where it stopped just above his hip.” You would have probably had it had the twins not ambushed you.. I just got lucky.”
“Your talented Haruka, don’t down play your skills like that.” Amber eyes looked into his mismatched ones, a small scowl on his face.” You’re skilled, own it.”
Sakura brought his lip between his teeth, glancing over to the side.” Yeah, whatever I’ll work on that…”
“That doesn’t sound very convincing to me.” The hand at was on his side moved off and up to his face, cupping his cheek as Sakura looked up at him.” Maybe I can drill it into that thick head of yours.”
Before Sakura could question what he meant by that he felt Momijikawa’s lips on his. The kiss started off gentle enough, no urgency to start as they just enjoyed the feeling of being close to each other. It was probably smart to keep things simple with the risk of someone coming up at any moment. It honestly was his own fault for things heating up, moving one of his hands up to rest a hand on the back of Momijikawa’s head and moving his legs so he could try and pull him closer. His bruises hurt yes, but the growing warmth in his chest for Momijikawa pushed him for more.
The minute he let his tongue swipe at the other’s lips, he felt both of Momijikawa’s hands move to his waist as he pressed forward to gently guide Sakura back to lay on his bed. He wanted to pull Momijikawa down, wanted to feel him pressed close to him, but if he showed any signs of discomfort he knew the kiss would end and he didnt want that. He would accept the soft sigh Sakae let out as their tongues met, sending electricity through his body.
As soon as Momijikawa pulled back for a breath he moved down to press kisses down by his ear before he murmured tenderly into his ear.” You’re so amazing, watching you drives me crazy.”
Sakura flushed red as he felt Momijikawa’s lips brush down against the side of his neck, following along his quickening pulse.” You’re such a skilled seeker, one of the best in our school.”
Throwing his free arm over his eyes, Sakura felt a small whine escape his throat when he felt teeth nip over the spot. He felt the heat from his chest spread through his whole body, specifically between his legs. Sure they had made out in hidden corners or alone in the bathrooms, but they hadnt gone further than that. The air between them, the heated gaze he caught when he peaked out from under his arm, it felt like more was to come and he didnt want to stop it. There was the lingering thought about the party just down the stairs, but the feeling of those lips working down to his chest kicked them to the back of his mind.
How far could they get? Would they go all the way? Did they have what they needed to do that? The feeling of teeth grazing his collarbone dragged a gasp from him.” Fuck, you’re so beautiful. How did I get so lucky to find you?”
Even with the haze starting to cloud his mind, Sakura couldn’t help his snark.” It wasn’t luck, you sought me out like a freakin’ missile.”
“Guess I have a thing for mouthy hot heads. Cute ones at that.”
Sakura moved his arm to yell at him for the cute comment, but let out a strangled curse when he felt a hard bite over his collarbone. It felt like electricity zapping down his spine, conflicting with the gentle caress of hands along his injured sides. Luckily their uniforms would hide any marks that were left, because there was a small part of him that was hoping for more.
Moving his hand from the back of Sakae’s head to the back of his shirt, Sakura gave it a yank.” Take this off.”
Momijikawa looked up at him as he went to sit up and away from him.” You could say please.”
Sakura squinted at him now, which only earned him a chuckle as his eyes watched the shirt come off. Sakura had a good amount of muscle on himself, lean but enough to show how athletic he is. Momijikawa definitely had him beat here. The urge to run his hands along his abdomen making his fingers twitch, his eyes trailing along his chest.
The minute their eyes met, Momijikawa surged forward to claim his lips once more, his hands coming put to cup his cheeks. Sakura let his hands do what they wanted as he focused on the heated kiss. The feeling of Momijikawa’s muscles under his fingers was driving him nuts. Usually the idea of touching and being touched sent Sakura into a fit, he wasnt fond of it. With Momijikawa he craved more, he needed more. He wanted to touch every inch of him and in return wanted his warm hands on his skin as well.
One of the hands on his face began to trail down, leaving a soft buzz under his skin as it skimmed down his neck and chest. He felt his heartbeat pick up when the hand didn’t stop till it reached the top of his pants. He thought he would be more nervous about this, and maybe he had hit his head during his fall and that’s why he wasn’t, but all he could feel was anticipation. He wanted this and he wanted it now.
The minute the button on his pants was popped open and he let out a relieved sigh into the kiss, the door to the dorm room was flung open. Both of them broke apart, a string of saliva connecting them as they turned their heads to see the flood of people coming into the room. Of course it couldnt just be one, no they knew it would take a whole crowd to get Sakura out of his room.
Unfortunately it was his four idiots and the his hufflepuff friends leading the charge. All their faces morphed in some degree of disbelief, embarrassment or amazement. Sadly for Sakura’s sanity, the ones who had no trouble picking on him were the first to recover.
Kiryu’s cat like grin grew wide as he went to pull his phone out to snap a picture.” Sakura-Chan, who knew you had it in you. This is pretty hot though..”
Suo nudged him with his elbow, snickering softly. Sakura could see on the bastards face he planned to make the most of this.” Kiryu-kun, if you make fun of him too much he might burst.”
The only saving grace was Togame, who seemed to think Sakura was having enough issues since he focused on Momijikawa instead.” Momijikawaaa, you dog you, telling us you cant come to this party when this was your plan all along.”
Momijikawa moved off of him so he could sit next to him, blocking his shirtlessness with his body. His voice definitely gave away his own flustered state.” S-Shut it! You all were supposed to leave Haruka alone!”
Sakura brought his arms over his face, letting out an embarrassed groan. He knew better than to attempt this in the dorm rooms but he let himself get swept up in the heat of the moment. He wouldnt say he regretted it, but the poking fun his friends were doing was getting him close to committing murder. The fact that Momijikawa was trying to cover him only made it worse.
Inugami’s voice cut through the chatter, his tone giving off his confusion.” So wait.. are they dating then?”
Yeah, he was going to have to kill everyone in the room (besides Momijikawa and Mocha) and then himself.
