#Give ne time I only just back I got deleted a day ago haha (;

[sinfulsachi]

Ran leaves for some time to go to a karate championship that's far or even abroad. Shinichi has to stay behind because he's got class and responsibilities himself.

Ran is very stressed and nervous and one night she's trying to sleep but she's got so much pent up energy and she also misses Shinichi a lot. She just can't fall asleep. Ran texts him to see if he's awake and he answers almost immediately.... It escalates quickly from there. And that was the first time they ever sexted.

Note: Ran won her match the next day.

Mail (ShinRan)

"It went like a breeze, ne, Ran-chan?” Nanami-senpai gives her a congratulatory pat on the back once she reaches the benches.  “That has gotta be one of the best bouts in your record.”

“Mah, I was just lucky, senpai,” Ran states with a blush as she humbly accepts the towel Nanami-senpai offers, and proceeds to wipe the little sweat lining along her neck.

“And I thought you were so stressed about the match that you went out the balcony in the middle of the night. Maybe I was just dreaming?”

Ran’s eyes blow wide. “Y-You were awake, senpai?!”

"I went back to sleep immediately though. What time did you sleep?”

“I,” she pauses, then bites her lip, “I don’t recall...But I um, I rested well! Yeah!”

"You were glowing right there! Someone from our team must’ve taken a video. You owned the damned referee’s attention.” Nanami-senpai beams triumphantly and gives her another big pat. “You good? I’ll prepare for the match now. Watch me okay?”

“Of course! I believe in you, senpai!” she cheers.

Ran sprawls on the bench, stretching her mildly sore limbs and cracking her neck. A consecutive 8-0, 7-1, and 7-3 in her favor is a feat even for her. Now she can rest easy and wait for the awarding ceremony in the afternoon.

She wants to tell Shinichi she won.

She gets her phone and opens their message chain.

Only for her cheeks to produce the most crimson shade ever.

“Bro, are you okay?”

Eyes heavily sunk inside their sockets, Shinichi looks up, looking as terrible as he sounds. “Yeah why?”

"You look like the zombie in Dawn of Dead.”

“Huh.”

“Stop losing sleep because you’re worried about your girlfriend’s match. No doubt Mouri-san’s slaying her opponents right now.”

“I’m not—” Shinichi pauses with a glare, shoving Nakamichi away from his personal space by the window sill. “ ’M not even close to worried.”

“Ehe. You’ve spent the whole morning looking at your phone waiting for an update. Did you even have lunch yet? Boys and I are going to the vendo. Wanna come with?"

"Go ahead, I’ll follow.”

“Ayt!”

Once his classmate disappears, Shinichi scrolls up his phone until he reaches time stamp 00:13. No one is beside him. Still, he dims his phone brightness.

“I miss Shinichi’s hugs. Send some. :( “

“With how stressed you are you’re going to need more than hugs Ran. /j”

“Maybe I do?”

"Wh- Ran! Just a joke!"

Shinichi looks around, then moves to the back of the room. Most of his classmates, if not out, are too loud for his ears. They should learn to eat with their mouths closed. He just wants a moment to concentrate.

“I want to see you right now. :( ”

“Can’t, Ran. Lights off already.”

“ :( ”

“...Did you receive it?”

“Eh?! What is this?!

Is this Shinichi’s...”

“Ran. You're dirty. That’s my face in the dark. Keke.”

“ >:(

And this next one is your close-up face?!”

"My lips and neck. :) ”

“...

Pervert Shinichi.”

“Haha! Don’t save it Ran okay!”

“It’s too dark to save anyway!”

“So you would if it weren’t?”

“ >:( ”

As Shinichi scrolls further down, he realizes that maybe this is a conversation he should be reading in a bathroom stall. Not behind a thin curtain by the window overlooking the field with students passing by during lunch break.

"Calm yourself... think of nothing else. Just you and me. I’m hugging you. Stroking your hair. Does it calm you?”

“Yes.”

“What else does it make you feel?”

“That I want your kisses too."

He scrolls down some more.

“You want me to do that?”

“Will you if I ask you to?”

“Yes.”

And more.

"Ran...

This image...

Shit.

Ran.

Win that trophy and come back home already.

Your other reward’s waiting here.”

“Shinichi...If I request a third of my reward right now... will you give it to me?”

“Damn. Stop-

Stop being the death of me.

Yes.”

It ends with deleted messages.

“When’s she returning anyway?”

“Wh-What?!” Shinichi squeaks, startled at the voice of Nakamichi booming straight in his ear. It isn’t even that loud.

“Bro? I asked when Mouri-san’s coming back.”

“Tomo—Tomorrow,” he stammers. “I thought you’re going to the vendo?!”

“We’re done. You’re so slow dude. I just bought you bread.” He tosses two packs of bread at him. "Why are you even hiding behind the curtain?”

Shinichi’s blush betrays his annoyed scoff as he catches the bread packets, not oblivious of Nakamichi’s mischievous smirk like he suddenly gets the answer to his question.

“Oi Kudo! You’re watching something ecchi arencha!”

“You’re—You’re an idiot.”

“O-hoh. That’s not a denial, Kudo! Hah! Let me see!”

“Moron—!”

As Nakamichi attempts a dive at Shinichi’s phone, just in time, it pings. “S-Stop! It’s Ran.”

“Tch,” Nakamichi frowns at Shinichi’s victorious peace sign. “Fiiine.” The guy leaves him alone.

“Hi. I won. :)”

Short and sweet, she says.

“I knew it. Congratulations!”

He sends after composing himself, smiling as he does.

“Thank you! :)”

And Shinichi has a lot of things in mind to reply but cannot settle for one. The sun is high up but his mind is in the gutter. Damn. Despite lack of sleep, the aftereffects of twelve hours ago isn’t going to wear him down anytime soon.

“...I’ll call you tonight?” he chooses the safest reply he can think of.

“...Mm. :)”

Shinichi takes a very deep breath, types nothing but one smiling face, sends it, and snaps his phone shut.

He’s already been under a trance the whole morning and he cannot afford to have a heart attack this afternoon.

Tonight, another one, maybe, yeah.
