A Fever in Spring

Chapter 4: Not in the Forecast

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

Pairing(s): Sasaki x Miyano, Kagiura x Hirano

Genre: Fluff

Chapter Word Count: 1.8K

Status: Ongoing

Chapter Summary: With Miyano effectively sidelined by worrying himself sick, things start to transpire between Hirano and Kagiura which neither saw coming.

EXCERPT

If Hirano tensed, it was but a split second and not enough to draw his roommate’s notice. He lowered himself slowly back into place respecting the daily 10 second rule of contact they’d imposed. He breathed shallowly against Kagiura’s chest as he felt the reverberation of his every word pass through his own body.

“Uhhh… morning…?” Hirano muttered groggily, suddenly hyper aware of the phenomenon of his own morning breath as he slowly drew his comforter around his face. This gesture had nothing to do with his proximity to his kohai (of which he also became keenly aware) or the inquisitive finger that hung between them. It may have had a little to do with camouflaging a delicate warmth that had blossomed across his cheeks and was beginning to make its way to his ears… but only maybe.

“I wasn’t-” Kagiura rushed to explain, his eyes wild. Desperate to create space and respect Hirano’s personal boundaries, he pushed himself frantically to the edge of the twin bed they shared.

Hirano shot both hands out to grab Kagiura by the collar just before he tumbled dramatically out of bed, limbs akimbo with a loud thump. The weight of his body dragged Hirano to partially land on his chest, legs still anchored and splayed across the bed. Hirano’s unnaturally curved back drove his chin into Kagiura’s collarbone.

Kagiura’s breath caught in his throat as he processed the unprecedented contact. “I-I guess I better start counting…” he breathed, raising his hands defensively as if caught in the midst of a crime.

--

“I-I can feel it…” Miyano gasped, his eyes blurring as his temperature spiked.

“What? Oh honey,” Yuki Miyano sighed as she pulled the back of her hand from her son’s forehead. “I wonder if someone else can cover that client presentation today…”

Recovering from his daze, Miyano shook his head of his thoughts, certain whatever euphoria had overcome him was a product of his own fever. “Mom, I’m fine. Just some meds and rest, you can’t miss that. Besides, you’ve been working so hard.”

Yuki looked worriedly into big, pleading eyes. “Yoshi-chan…” she trailed off.

“I’m perfectly capable of looking after myself. It’s just a fool’s cold, after all! I’ll be right as rain tomorrow, Mom. Promise.”

Yuki weighed her options to better compromise. Her husband would be out of town for two more days and this was, effectively, her busy season. “If you can finish breakfast and your morning meds, I’ll be back before your second dose. I can leave right after my offsite presentation and bring lunch!”

“You don’t have to do that…” Miyano halfheartedly rolled his eyes as beads of sweat gathered along his frail neck.

“I’m your mother, Yo. Let me mother,” she smiled, caressing the side of his damp face. “You’ll be off to college before I know it. Besides, you always get so cute when you’re sick. How many more times will I get to see this side of you?”

“Never again.” Miyano responded flatly. He grimaced, as she swiftly refreshed his fever patch. She was enjoying this too much which caused his face to scrunch up cutely, inspiring a mirthful laugh from his mother. “I’m never going to be sick again.”

“Exactly. Why would I want to miss a moment if it can be helped!” she smiled discarding the used patch as Miyano pouted. “If you need me, I’m only a call away. Be strong while I’m gone!” she called as she left his room to prepare for work.

--

“Ugh, it’s fine,” Hirano groaned, breaking the silence as he pushed himself off of Kagiura who’d gone still beneath him.

“No, I mean... This counts. I would never want to press you for contact outside of… the ten seconds. I wasn’t going to then either.” Kagiura breathed. Brazenly, he relaxed his arms, which had been raised in a mock surrender, to fall gently across Hirano’s back in an embrace.

If Hirano tensed, it was but a split second and not enough to draw his roommate’s notice. He lowered himself slowly back into place respecting the daily 10 second rule of contact they’d imposed. He breathed shallowly against Kagiura’s chest as he felt the reverberation of his every word pass through his own body.

“10.” Kagiura began quietly.

Hirano turned his sharp eyes inward toward Kagiura’s Adam’s apple, uncertain where else to look with such proximity.

“9.” With this, Kagiura had settled his arms comfortably in an arrangement that felt… natural.

“8.” he smiled shyly, disbelieving that this was how they were spending their 10 seconds. He’d have been content with a handhold.

“Then. Then? I wish you’d explain that finger then…” Hirano thought, rolling his eyes and glad his face was obscured. He wasn’t sure how Kagiura would interpret the gesture and, these days, he was very sensitive to Hirano’s everything.

“7. Is it.. okay if I move a bit?”

“Is the question another second?” Hirano considered dryly before answering. “Within reason.”

“6.” With Hirano’s probationary permission granted, Kagiura delicately lowered one hand across the small of his back. “Like lovers,” he rationalized internally.

Hirano was unmoved so he didn’t throw a flag on the play but questioned if this was all Kagiura had in mind when he envisioned a relationship with one another.

“5.” Kagiura swallowed nervously.

The swallow passed through his Adam’s apple which Hirano’s gaze had been trained upon for quite some time. With his weight partially on Kagiura, it felt like he had front row seats to his every bodily function. Such that he could hear the onset of Kagiura gathering the spit in his mouth, hear the swish as it made its way down his throat and pass into oblivion down the rest of his digestive system. From a scientific standpoint, he was somewhat intrigued if only to similarly hear, quite loudly, the persistent beat of his heart and the air swelling in his lungs. “Digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory… what other systems are at play in this moment?” he pondered, seemingly trying to busy himself for the remaining seconds.

“4.” Kagiura’s voice cracked subtly as he painstakingly began to drag his other hand up Hirano’s spine feeling the imperceptible knots of his vertebrae through the thin fabric of his night shirt.

Hirano’s eyes widened. “I guess even at this distance, I still can’t hear the wheels turning up there, can I?” he surmised, pondering how far Kagiura was going to press in these 10 seconds.

“3.” As Kagiura’s open palm finally reached the base of Hirano’s neck, he marveled in how soothed he felt with his senpai wrapped in his arms. This was what he wanted. The safety and affection that his parents had for one another as it extended between he and Hirano. So much so that he willed his intentions to bleed through his very fingertips.

Hirano’s sighed against Kagiura’s chest, waiting to run out the clock on this experiment until-

“2.” Briefly, Kagiura drew his fingers into a grab of sorts. His palm, no longer against Hirano’s neck, twisted a bit like the squeeze of a massage that allowed the tips of his fingers to lightly scratch at the skin just below the back of Hirano’s collar.

Hirano’s eyes widened minutely. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck raise in protest… or something as Kagiura’s finger pads danced lazily across his skin. Still. Nothing that would cause him to tell Kagiura to stop.

“1.” Kagiura whispered as he raised all but two fingers from Hirano’s neck which gently carved a thin line against the grain of his nape and into the thick of his hair. Deliberately, he applied slightly more pressure as his remaining three fingers combed through blonde bedhead. As his digits united in the mess of hair, they pointed, nail downward, and spread outward until his palm lay flat against Hirano’s skull.

Hirano shivered slightly at the sudden change in sensation. The air between them felt charged with such an intimate hold. His eyes slowly moved left to right as he considered how best to untangle himself from the gentle hands of his kohai so his movements were on a similar level of consideration. To shirk and rush away felt like it would incredibly insensitive and would not return the energy he felt was bestowed upon him appropriately. It felt… at odds with his expectations in the sense that nothing that transpired pushed any boundaries at all. Rather, he felt incredibly comfortable. “Not that Kagi-kun would ever do anything inappropriate or harmful. I suppose I figured this would somehow be off-putting. Though, since the institution of the 10 second rule, Kagi-kun’s never done anything that didn’t feel perfectly fine.”

Kagiura didn’t know what to do with the extra time that seemed to pass between his fingers. He’d counted down and Hirano didn’t make a move. It was almost enough to make him think he’d enjoyed these 10 seconds… almost. Even so, he considered the delicate balance at work within these stolen moments. Beneath Hirano, he couldn’t exactly do anything to separate them. He could remove his arms from his back but what was that going to do? But maybe, just maybe- “No, the 10 seconds have ended. I have to respect that. If he’s ever going to miss my touch, it’ll have to be because of the absence of it, right? Is that what Niibashi was getting at?” he wrestled internally as he lightly loosened his grasp.

“Hiranooo, Kagiuraaa, everything alright? I heard a crash!” the unmistakable singsong voice of their dorm head bled under the door, effectively punctuating the moment.

Hirano rose with a start as Kagiura’s arms fell from around him. “We’re fine!” they yelled in unison as they both wondered whether Hirano’s sudden scramble back onto his bed sounded as suspicious on the other side of the door.

“Just checkinggg,” Hanzawa drawled cheekily.

“At least you’re up now, Kagi-kun,” Hirano exhaled trying to behave as normally as possible. He fell flat on his back, back onto his bed, his arms spread in a T-pose.

“Yea,” Kagiura breathed from the floor. His body remembering the feeling of his senpai’s upper body pressed into him. His arms splayed wistfully as he processed the interaction.

Moments passed in silence. The sounds from the hall seemed to echo within the quiet of their room as the early risers began preparing for early breakfasts, lectures, practices or meetings.

“Shouldn’t you… get ready for practice?” Hirano asked, his eyebrows knit curiously.

“Yea.” Kagiura nodded still unable to accept his fortuitous luck today.

Still, no movement came from below. Hirano shook his head wondering if Kagiura had actually managed to fall back asleep before rolling to peer over the side of his bed. He snorted at the dazed smile that spread from ear to ear on his roommate’s face. “You’re going to be late,” he couldn’t help but smile as he grabbed his pillow and lightly launched it at the younger boy.

“Yea, yea,” Kagiura chuckled. “I could run a marathon right now,” his thoughts brought another silly grin to his face. Practice was going to be a breeze.

[keepyourpantsongohan]

Ayesha Liveblogs Sasaki and Miyano S1

I am watching this entirely because I was recommended a YouTube compilation on this show and I watched a few seconds of it before I decided to see for myself what's up. The little I saw gave me Haruhi and Tamaki energy

"As that senpai strode forward, I admired him in secret." Alright, I'll bite, where is this going?

"Dial it back several notches. Or I'll have this made into slash art." INSANE threat, Miyano, please continue

What's with all these little manga fans calling other people normies?

Recommending things to people with fifteen disclaimers is so relatable. Me about Bridgerton LMAO

"Despite all the hard stuff the protagonist went through, he resolved himself in a really cool way and moved through his burdens. I really liked that story." I've only had Sasaki for 4 minutes but I love him already for his review of this Gay Detective Manga

On one hand, I do appreciate how obvious Sasaki is about his feelings (the nickname, the physical affection, the dropping off cookies to class), but I'm right with you Miyano, in your position (being gay in high school) I would probably refuse to interrogate it any further on the off chance I am incorrect

"I saw you, you know. Chatting away happily with the boy on the basketball team from class 1-A, with the refreshing, lovely smile." So caught was I in the fact this show is called Sasaki and Miyano that I didn't consider for a second Miyano might like some other guy (Hirano)

I do love the interesting little dynamic they're setting up between Sasaki, Miyano and Hirano

"But he's a guy. He has such a cute face though. I feel kinda anxious." Oh Sasaki, you're in it now

The chronology of these scenes is a little confusing, it only becomes clear midway through the scene if it's the past or the present

"Everything is too much." JKGKJHG the implication that Sasaki is like, ready to die aftering getting beat up (moderately inconvenienced). The Sasuke of it all. Also, me too, baby

"You're so cute, Mya-chan. Wanna go out?" Oh, so he's been OBVIOUS obvious

"You try standing in front of a BL shelf with another guy! You'll just end up fodder for everyone's conversations!" "You sure about that?" "Yes, I am." "Then I'll stand at a different shelf." There's something so sweet about this. Something something understanding and boundary-respecting

"If there's someone I like, I want to know them." Giggling and kicking my feet over everything Sasaki says

"He's gonna be misinterpreted." Oh, I think he's gonna be correctly interpreted, Miyano

HAHAHAHA background conversation of "When [Miyano] blushes, could you mistake him for a girl?" "What? No way! He's a dude." "Yeah, I wouldn't either." Implying one of Miyano's classmates also thinks he's cute LOL he is a menace to heterosexuality

Not Sasaki challenging Miyano to Gay Chicken via Pocky and immediately forfeiting cause he was embarrassed hahahaha

Why is it MEN's Pocky?? Which I've just googled and is a real thing??? For what lmao!!

Why do they keep cutting away to the cat, is it a metaphor for something

I appreciate the homie straight up just being like "Are you dating?" without any teasing, just wondering about their situation

"Sasaki-senpai is a good person. Remember when I got beat-up before summer break?" OHHHHH I see how it loops back into the friend group

"Those two have gotten pretty close. I guess I should take that as a good thing." I thiiink Hirano likes Miyano but his vibes are a little hard to read so it could easily be Sasaki or neither. In any case, I do like his Minato hair

"Thirty-six. Who the hell went first?" Awwww poor Sasaki, experiencing his first bout of jealousy after hearing about all the chocolates Miyano got from his classmates.

"In that case, Mya-chan, ya wanna find out [whether I'm a clumsy kisser]?" Sasaki said: I will not pass up an opportunity to ask Miyano to kiss

Miyano said: I will simply not read into this, I pretend it was a joke

Miyano also said: So caught was I in how Sasaki embarrasses me in public every two seconds with the sincerity of his feelings that I forgot for a second he's also cool

Of the two girlfriends that have been mentioned so far, both Sasaki's friend and Miyano's friend have girlfriends who seem to be fujosh*s and let me tell you, I don't think this show is ever in danger of passing the Bechdel test

Awwwww, Miyano broke Sasaki by giving him a White Day present

"What do I do? My heart won't stop." "Good. You'd be dead if it did." "It's pounding." "You out of shape or something?" Hirano's patent refusal to romanticize life makes me happy

I also like Hirano's hair being black, what can I say, I love a switch-up. Also I just like black hair

"Do you let your roommate touch [your hair]?" "Yeah, he's the one who told me it's damaged." Miyano said: Oh my god they were roommates

"He might be treating you as BL material like my girlfriend, you know." [Turns to Miyano] "Are you?" "Huh? Come to think of it, I've never done that with you." "That's news to me. Give him the same treatment." Not Hirano complaining that Sasaki ISN'T being objectified for BL purposes LMAOOOOO

Also Sasaki extremely willing to abandon his friend Ogasawara in his hour of need for his crush jkjhgkjhg. Not the best move, but understandable

Every time there is a line of uncaptioned, silent dialogue, I always assume it's that they're saying "I love you" (shout-out that one JJK scene LOL):

"If senpai only saw me as a kohai, would he, in that quiet tone, here on the train, (when I wasn't even awake!) say that?" "I like you." Oh I love the immediate reveal, we appreciate a romance that doesn't beat around the bush

KJHKJGHKJH none of their classmates overhearing or caring about how they're discussing if Hirano would top or bottom. My god, this school

Also also also. I've been thinking this for a while, in part because I truly think too many people are TOO possessed of topping and bottoming as personality traits, does no one in these shows believe in versing LMAO?

Setting all that aside, it is very sweet how flustered they keep getting whenever they're close

"I like girls, not guys." I've been wondering about this as well. In Miyano's little brain, these things (liking gay manga and projecting BL onto his classmates) are two things that have nothing to do with his orientation. And while that can be true. YOU GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY*

*As a general term, I'm not saying he can't like women LOL

You know, I'm so glad I knew I was bi before I started watching so many gay shows because that could cause some confusion for sure

Miyano imagining himself literally on top of Sasaki: Which could mean nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I just miss it earlier or did they wait until ep 4 to give Tashiro (blond friend who asked if Sasaki and Miyano were dating) and Kuresawa (nice but stoic friend who got beat up and loves his girlfriend) names

"I read every manga she's got. But I found one about a... slime? And a delinquent. And now I have no idea what to do anymore. I can't understand what she wants." I love Ogasawara actually. The act of reading every BL manga to understand his girlfriend is a love language for sure

"You don't do that because he's your boyfriend?" "You're mistaken! We're not in a relationship." Everyone at this school thinks has Miyano and Sasaki clocked but Miyano LOL

"I thought you also liked guys." Ogasawara no. 1 wingman for Sasaki:

"Not that it matters anyway. And it ain't my business." Also very true. I love everything about this interaction, Ogasawara

"In middle school, I had a crush on a girl. So I know I don't." I see your confusion, Miyano. Google bisexuality and circle back. If that doesn't work, try comphet

"I like you, Miyano. What I said in the summer, I'm not taking that back." "Um, I, uh..." I can wait... You don't have to answer right away. I'd be happy if you gave it some thought." This is slowly becoming my favourite trope

I don't know what the hell kind of cheerleading uniform Hirano's outfit is supposed to be, but I dig it:

"What if a Committee Member is violating the dress code?" "Like who?" "A certain blond individual." "Oh, me." I think Hirano might actually be my favourite character. I love the contradiction of him being a delinquent on the Discipline Committee

This show has been so delightful so far, I beg of you not to make it weird with this school nap

It was borderline, but it seems like we narrowly escaped

"Wait 'confessed?' Should you be telling me?" said Hirano, before immediately tossing his phone at Sasaki with Miyano pre-dialed and proving why he was a good person to tell

Also. Also. WHAT YEAR IS IT LMAO. The flip phone kjhgkjhg

"I like you a lot. for more than your face. That's all. See ya. And take care." "Sasaki, go let Miyano punch you. Actually, can I just punch you?" Hirano ACTUAL NO. 1 Wingman for Miyano

"Is it serious?" "Yeah." "You know what? Nope. Forget all of this. This is creeping me out!" ["Just don't do anything careless.] "Same." ["I won't.] The serious discussion of feelings followed by the disgruntled dialogue and sincere exchange in the subtext.... WAH 😭😭😭 I love Hirano and Sasaki

"Some scenes can make you feel embarassed." This conversation about BL anime feels a little self-referential, but okay

Do we think the sucker worked for Sasaki because he probably has them while studying and had that whole sense memory thing going on? Or was it just the encouragement of his crush giving him a birthday present? Or was it, in fact, Hirano's study cards? Probably the last one

"Take Miyano. Even with his cute face, he's a guy." Tashiro has to tell Miyano he's cute like once a day, at least

"I just mean people are more than their looks." "So you were saying my girlfriend likes me for my looks and for who I am. Thanks, Tashiro." "That's some self-confidence you've got, Kuresawa." I also do appreciate Kuresawa's level of delusional self-confidence

You truly have to wonder what Miyano's friends think is going on if not an intricate flirting ritual. Do they just patently ignore Miyano's claims?

"Do you happen to like guys?" "I don't think so. Why?" We'll unpack this conversation and trope at another time Sasaki, but let's focus on the 'WHY?' WHY DO YOU THINK HE'S ASKING? YOU CONFESSED TO HIM, A GUY!

"Thinking about all of this, BL gets more and more confusing.... And when you said you liked my face... Though my face is feminine, I'm a guy so.... And I might be taller than you in the future!" Sasaki trying not to giggle as Miyano stream of consciousness processes his feelings aloud <3

"And when I'm 50, I may look totally different than I do now..." I love that Miyano, after one (1) confession, in high school, is like WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME WHEN I'M 50?

"Senpai, I want to consider it a little longer!" Awww, he got there!

"You might grow taller than me one day, and your face might change completely. But I think I'll still like you, Mya-chan. So take as long as you need to answer." They are SOOOOO SWEET

"Our cultural day festival will have a cross-dressing competition." I feel like we're moving past this too quickly. Admittedly, I've seen this trope several times before, but usually it's a play where they're cast in a cross-dressing role. It's not the sole purpose. Is cross-dressing a standard cultural activity for high school festivals? If not, why did you just say that like it's supposed to be?

"The Cultural Festival Committee revealed their tastes when they wrested permission to hold it from the Student Council." Ahh, so it was not standard, it is a preference of this school LOL

"I'm down. I bet my girlfriend would love [me cross-dressing]." Kuresawa unmatched security and affection. We love

Wjkhkjh the Chairman seems like a total menace to his Committee members, I do enjoy that

"I wanna see the person I like." [Miyano runs into the staff room yelling about the room key] [Sasaki laughing in the background] Sasaki said: New flirting dynamic unlocked

Gjkhkjhk Makimura not seeing Miyano for two full years and immedately objectifying him for art reasons. At least he gets some romantic closure about her

"It's not about gender. I don't want to be rough with someone I like." Ohhhh Sasaki

New Sasaki lore unlocked: He is the son of bakers

I really am curious about the girlfriend in the hospital storyline with Kuresawa. Is it leading anywhere

The way I thought for a second Miyano might be worried about Sasaki buying the manga because it would disrupt the borrowing dynamic they've created but he was actually so excited that Sasaki shared his interest and was outwardly engaging with it!!

"Hirano, aren't they a little too close?" "I-I don't know. Don't ask me," said Hirano, though he did know, in fact, and was actively involved

"Well, fudanshi, is it?" JKHKJGHG the way Ogasawara (Jiro) just calls Miyano fudanshi while seeking advice and he responds to it

[Jiro, seriously] "I don't move on a woman I have no intention of marrying." "I think that's the kind of thing she likes about you." [Jiro, upset] "That I'll let her wear the pants?" PLS he is so silly

"I cross-dressed and Tashiro mistook me for a girl. But our love story failed to take off." HAHAHAHA this is the funniest way to phrase what happened

Sasaki asking Miyano to put his bangs down bc it makes him nervous. Sweet boy

I actually do appreciate that they followed through on giving Miyano a less overtly feminine outfit to begin with

"Chairman, what do you think it means to like someone?" Oh, Miyano, you are SO in it

"You looked like a girl, but the difference wasn't as big as with Kuresawa." "Thanks. Complicated thanks." Adding 'Complicated Thanks' to my vocab immediately

"I wouldn't like it if a guy took pics of my girlfriend, so scratch that." Lmaooooo so that settles it, they are patently ignoring Miyano's claims this is platonic (also this is truly the most drastic their height difference has ever looked):

"You'll just let your classmates pressure you?" I can't tell where exactly Sasaki's upset is coming from, and perhaps neither can he

"I'm gonna say something inconsiderate. If I asked you not to compete, would you drop out?" Because he's hot, or because he's reluctant, or because of a third secret thing like Sasaki having to re-evaluate the circumstances of his attraction?

I appreciate how even when Miyano has said nothing about his situation, Kuresawa is still trying to help him via manga store visit

"I made the decision to compete myself. So I want to follow through with it." "Okay. Good luck. I'm happy you told me how you feel." Ohhhhh this

"If possible, would you like to see the festival together?" Hee hee, good for Miyano

"Arranging a date?" "We're not going out, but I guess it's a date." Not Hirano politely eavesdropping on this whole exchange

I fucking love the concept of a Hooligan Cafe, and Hirano as Chief Hooligan, 10 bajillion/10zo

I am going to ignore Chairman Hanzawa's self-fortune and focus instead on his helpful advice to Miyano about building confidence

"He had ten more minutes though." "It's just ten minutes." Hirano letting Sasaki off early for his lunch date <3 That's my hooligan, no. 1 wingman

"Can you support Miyano appearing in a cross-dressing competition like this?" "How much do you know?" "He hasn't told me anything. I got a distinct impression, though." HAHAHA I love this exchange. Sasaki said: Who told you we're almost dating? To which Kuresawa said: I have eyes

"Well, that makes sense. I never did hide it." LOL Sasaki, u right

The 'what about when I'm 50' belatedly hitting Sasaki HEE HEE

Colour me cliche, I do fucking love a fireworks trope

"Could you... wait just a little longer for my answer? It feels irresponsible to give it right now." Believe it or not, Miyano, this is also kind of an answer

"I wanted him to hug me then. I wanted to take care of him. Do I like him the same way he likes me?" Yeah Miyano, you do, catch up!

Holding hands with him during the fireworks while blushing and leaning into him is ALSO also kind of an answer, but I do appreciate your sense of romantic responsibility, Miyano

"Even though I don't know, I want to tell him I like him... Why is that?" Welcome to your first love, Miyano

[Text overlay] 'Delinquent, motherly, blond, Discipline Committee, handsome, Vice-chairman, strong fighter, trusted by teachers, etc.' "He packs together a lot of tropes." HAHAHAH that's also part of why I like Hirano, Miyano

I like that Sasaki makes Miyano forget his anxieties about other people perceiving their date

"If these feelings aren't the real deal, what is?" It took Miyano two full dates and ten full episodes, but he got there!

Oh thank GOD Hanzawa has a gay brother with whom he has a complicated relationship, when he started whispering "niisan" I got nervous about the direction it was taking

"I thought he was finally dating Sasaki-senpai." Tashiro said: I refuse to engage in allusions, when is the hard launch?

I love that Hanzawa's older brother came out and his little brother was immediately like ditto. I will not lie though, in my life I do appreciate my brother for repping the future grandkid issue

STOOOP MIYANO HAS BEEN CHANGING HIS BAG OVER FOR ALL THESE EPISODES BECAUSE OF SASAKI? AHHHH I love them!!!!

Also the way that Sasaki was just about to kiss Miyano in the hallway after school and Miyano's immediate reaction was 'Well, alright!' They have no sense of self-control LOL:

"You still don't have each other's number?" Hirano said, ENOUGH, HOMOSEXUALS

"And people will ask things they'd never ask an opposite-sex couple. I guess they can't help but focus on it, even if it's irrelevant to the discussion." THANK YOU MASATO HANZAWA

"Sasaki, you forgot stuff at school. Get your butt back here." [...] "What did he leave here?" "I lied. this way, he'll run into Miyano." Hirano for World's Least Enthusiastic Matchmaker HAHAHA

Sasaki weaving a tale about how he is a horror to society for trying to kiss his almost-boyfriend while Miyano is thinking about how much he loves Sasaki

"I like you, Sasaki-senpai!" GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!!!

[Sasaki, immediately crying] "Sorry. No, I mean, you can think about it some more. No rush." BABY

"I feel like words aren't enough to get this across. But he won't know if I don't tell him." YEAHHHHHHH MIYANOOOO

I get so distracted by enjoying the show that liveblogging becomes an afterthought, but just now, Miyano had a very good and clear confession

I do, as always, love a park bench romance:

"Sasaki-senpai, I like you! Be my boyfriend." Miyano said: There will be no ambiguity in this return confession!!!

The little callback to 'Wanna go out' and the crouched kiss and the exchange of numbers!! <3 Worth the wait

"We're dating." "Oh... That's great... Dammit. Look I'm not great that at this." "I know." Hehe it is only right that No. 1 Wingman Hirano is looped in right away

"Um, well... We started going out." "What? Really. So I was right." "Yeah, yeah." HAHAHA lmao @ Kuresawa deciding Tashiro gets to know

Double LMAO @ Ogasawara being the only one unaware of what they are all pleased about

"You're not going out with Miyano, right?" Again the chronology of this OVA is a little confusing. I know the ep title is A Tiny Episode Before He Realized His Feelings, but they talked about this at the festival. So this is post-festival but pre-confession?

This keychain search has me wondering beyond the romantic, how much Miyano lets manga run his thought processes

[Jiro, ominously] "Did ya lose something?" [Miyano, startled] "You scared me." [Sasaki, even more ominously] "Ogasawara. Don't scare Mya-chan." This is what happens when you date a delinquent LOL

"Animals love him. I knew Ogasawara-senpai was a good person." HAHAHAHA the kittens getting interested in Ogasawara's bell in his bag and Miyano reading this as a Disney Princess-like affinity for wildlife. Romanticize your friends:

Are we finally about to meet Hirano's little background boyfriend? I can't wait

"I bet he remembered something he had to do. I'm sure he'll text us." Oh, I take Sasaki's sweatdrop as confirmation this is situationship-related

OHHHHHHHHH it's Kagi, the guy who Hirano offered to get a drink on festival day

"But I saw you and I couldn't help but grab you." "Are you a dog chasing a ball or something?" "Want me to be your pet?" GOOD LORD, I NO LONGER BLAME MIYANO FOR THINKING SOMETHING IS GOING ON BETWEEN HIRANO AND KAGI, IT IS ENITRELY MERITED

"I want to stay here with you a little longer." Kagi said: I gotta take up the mantle of Obviously Pining Guy since Sasaki's feelings are now requited

They waited until the very last episode to start putting Hirano in romantic situations. Also worth the wait:

"You see, the Student Council President sometimes secretly feeds the cats. Thanks to that, several cats have settled here at the school." I didn't expect for them to actually have an explanation for the cat cutaways, but there you go

I love this episode dedicated to getting to know the Discipline Committee more

Bonus: Sasaki and Miyano (Graduation Film)

I will not lie I did like skim-read the whole Hirano to Kagiura manga before this film so I am not as surprised by the roommate dynamic as I was one (1) episode ago

"Earrings... I can't get up if you don't put them in." Still, stroking your roommate's ear IS a bold choice first thing in the morning

I won't lie, I would ALSO fall in love with Hirano if he woke me up every morning and ate the veggies I didn't like and helped me in school and gave me cookies he'd personally made

"The walls have fundashi ears." Bold way to bring Miyano back into this story, but okay

"If I get married, I hope it's to someone frank like you, Kagi-kun." What a thing to say to your roommate, Hirano!

I won't lie, I am 100% sold on the roommate romance, I both love the trope and I can't believe they described their ideal partners as each other:

Gjgkjgljglj @ Miyano giving his boyfriend a Good Luck Gay Manga for his college entrance exams

HAHAHAHAH Tashiro looking for Miyano and Kuresawa to give him relationship guidance and them just both responding that they do with their boyfriend/girlfriend, "The Normal Stuff."

"Hirano keeps saying, 'Passing isn't the finish line.' He's kept up his studies the whole time. It's really cool." I love Sasaki and Hirano's dynamic as always

"If it's long, I can run my fingers through it, which is fun... But if it's short, I can see your face better, which makes me happy." Miyano is still shocked when Sasaki flirts even though they are literally dating

"Until I pass my exams, I won't touch him more than this." [Tiktok audio voice] It's like a reward

Sasaki having a smart phone while Miyano has a flip phone truly does make me confused about the era. Is it now, where we've circled back to some flip phones being popular? Or is it 2010, when some people had smart phones, and some had flip phones, and both were normal?

Take a shot every time someone in this anime gets sick from overstudying LMAO

"Do you want some... affection?" [Both pause and blush] "Yeah." Awwww Miyano asking but both them immediately getting embarrassed. Also are they doing a mask kiss? That's sweet!

Oh, they did do a masked kiss! We love a follow-through

"I've heard that some boys give girls chocolates [for Valentine's Day] these days. How nice! Make some for me sometime too, okay?" "A-Actually, the person I want to give them to is a guy." Are we coming out to mum right now, Miyano?

"Mom, I really like being around this senpai, and I want to keep being with him. I-I like-like him." "Lovely. It's wonderful to like someone. I know, 'cause I like your dad." AWWWW this is a really lovely response, good job Mama Miyano

"I'll get good enough to make your sweets by myself next year." [Sasaki, internally] "Next year?" The way Miyano is always thinking about his future with Sasaki, without even being aware of it

The way that Miyano is smiling and thinking about the people in his life not caring that he's dating a man <3 We love shows devoid of homophobia

Now that we're about halfway through the ep, it is funny that they dedicated the first ten minutes to Hirano and Kagiura and then the next twenty to Miyano and Sasaki because you'd think if they were going to involve both it would be more alternating scenes

"Are you dating him for real?" "That's none of your business, Ogasawara." HAHAHA Sasaki said: We're not THAT close, Jiro

"Which role are you? Nope! Never mind, I don't actually want to hear stuff like that about a friend." "And I don't want to tell you." Hanzawa foreshadowed Sasaki being asked this question, though I did not anticipate it coming from Ogasawara

They really are making some bold choices, both anatomically and in the kissing in the third year classroom

"I'm fine with either. Whatever Miyano wants." Realistic discussion of sexual interests? In anime? Shocking!!

"How could I do that at school?" That was also my question, Miyano!

"You've got it wrong. We're dating." You know, I like that they're establishing this, but the translations in this show are so indirect. What Sasaki says is "kōhai ja nai," which is specifically the strong refusal of the term kōhai, which I feel like they could subtitle as, "He's not my kōhai." But they translate it back without using that word, instead as, "You've got it wrong," I guess to avoid repetition? I don't know that much Japanese, but I've noticed a lot of translations like that with this show, how they drop a number of nouns in the subtitles to interpet more broadly. I talk about captioning in every show ever, but this is the first time there was a noticeable difference in subtitles from Japanese for me. Weird!

Also, I made the no homophobia call too early I guess LOL

"The thing is, I can't be too pushy with my sister. In middle school, I injured her." "Did you two fight?" "Not really... but I pushed her over and she got hurt. It left a scar. That's when I understood that I was bigger than other kids." Having a sibling much bigger than you really do be that way, eventually it becomes dangerous

"Senpai, your sister is important to you, huh?" "Eh... medium-important." HAHAH this is such a brother answer to give

"For me to respond with 'why?'... It's because you like each other. I'm very sorry." "It's all right. People change how they think about things over time." Sasaki's sister said: I went for a walk, I can accept gay couples now

"You're a cool guy, Miyano-kun. I think I might get why Shumei fell for you." Both Sasaki and Big Sister's Boyfriend coming to interrupt because of this compliment is very funny:

"Shumei-san." "Why is that the part you remember?" "Maybe I'll call you Yoshikazu." "You could." I will never tire of the first name to last name transition in media, it is my favourite

Hirano grabbing Sasaki by the back of the neck like he's a misbehaving cat when he looks at his boyfriend during the graduation rehearsal is so cute

"Would you be the jealous type, Miyano?" Everything Hanzawa says is foreshadowing

"Drop it! It's got nothing to do with you." Hirano said: DO NOT gossip about why Sasaki would sprint after his favourite second-year to explain the (fake) lipstick mark on his cheek, and the other Third Years said: That's fair, not my business!

"How can my heart be so small?" said Miyano, as if jealousy were not a normal human emotion to feel, especially at 17

"If you're going to gush to me about him, be careful what you say. My girlfriend will find out." "Have a long and happy relationship." HAHA the friend group designating them as Relationship Status Official

Hirano said: I know we haven't talked about my situationship with my roommate for forty minutes, but I promise, it's still going on

Hkjhkhkjh Sasaki offering Miyano his school blazer for "when he gets taller." I don't think he will, but the faith is nice!

Awwwwwww Miyano copying Sasaki's embarrassed gesture of laying his face down!! <3 <3 <3

The flashbacks to their different moments across the school are getting me. I am just a sentimental bitch at heart

HAHAHA THE DUCK AND COVER KISS WHILE KURESAWA LOOKS ON FROM BELOW LIKE: 👁👄👁

This was a lovely show, highly recommend, very sweet and likeable cast, relatively unembarrassing given the initial premise, friends to lovers, mutual pining, not a single person at their all-boys school giving them a hard time for their relationship, good friendships, beautiful animation, no real complaints on my part

[calderasletski]

Desire [Sasamiya]

A short Sasamiya fluff and smusmu when they were about to do the deed

Miyano’s not sure how this started…

He and Sasaki were in the middle of a make out session on the couch. Somehow they ended up on the bed, unable to get off of each other.

If he was being honest, Miyano loved this. He loved seeing Sasaki like this. They’ve never gone too far but he wanted to know. Miyano wanted to know what Sasaki would be like when he’s like this. They’ve held off for way too long.

Sasaki lifts the hem of his shirt, pausing to look for any signs that he wants him to stop. Miyano doesn’t. This feels too good.

He runs a finger down his torso, slipping the tip inside his pants and then stopping to meet his eyes. Miyano shivers under his touch and gaze.

“Baby Miya, can I?” he whispers pleading with need.

Miyano nods, nervous and excited at the same time.

Sasaki slips his pants down to his legs and Miyano lets him. 

“I’m going to have my way with you,” Sasaki said, taking his leg and bringing his face to his thigh, placing wet kisses on it.

Miyano moaned at the sensation. He was close but not there. I could get used to this.

Suddenly, the warmth turned into cool air and Miyano whined at the missing touch of heat.

He looked up at Sasaki and saw him unbuckling his belt. “Fair’s fair.

Miyano sat up and brought his hands over his, stopping him.

Sasaki looked up at him in confusion and fear that he might have taken this way too far.

But no… Miyano starts where Sasaki left off. “As you said, fair’s fair,” he said without meeting his eyes.

The way Miyano averted his gaze while undressing him aroused something inside of him and made him want to tease him.

“You’re so cute, my Mya-chan,” Sasaki said in a slow and hushed voice.

“You’re cute too senpai,” Miyano replied, looking Sasaki straight in the eyes.

This was not the reaction he expected. After staring at Miyano for a while, he buried his face into his hands.

“S-shuumei-san, are you alright?” Miyano said, concern overtaking desire now.

“I-I… I thought we agreed you wouldn’t call me senpai,” Sasaki finally managed to say.

“You called me baby so… I thought I might use something…” he trailed off, his face a dark shade of red.

Sasaki really couldn’t take this anymore. He pulled Miyano over on his lap.

“W-what are-” Miya began but got cut off by Sasaki pressing his lips on his.

He kissed him deeply yet slowly, their toungs intertwining, savouring each and every moment. Miyano in turn wrapped his arms around Sasaki’s shoulders.

It felt like forever. They pulled away only when they were out of breath.

“I love you,” Sasaki whispered, pressing their foreheads together. “And I can’t wait to leave my marks all over you.”

[kusuguricafe]

Spring Fever 🌸

A/N: thank you for the request, anon! apologies for the wait, I was having some pretty bad writer's block 😔

Summary: Miyano has something on his mind that he can't seem to shake. He soon learns that Sasaki is quite the force to be reckoned with!

Characters: switches Sasaki and Miyano

“Sasaki…?”

“Yes, Mya-chan?”

It was a beautiful spring day outside. The two lovebirds had just finished having lunch together and were now sitting side by side, leaning against each other underneath a cherry blossom tree. Miyano had had something on his mind all day that he couldn’t stop thinking about, and as the cherry blossom petals fell quietly around them, now seemed like as good a time as any to finally bring it up.

“A-are you, ticklish?”

“Yeah, isn’t everyone?”

“Not everyone, but…”

“Why'd you ask?”

“Uh…” (Because he really wanted to tickle him.) “I-I just…” (He wanted to hear him laugh, to be the cause of that laughter. He wanted to feel Sasaki squirm beneath his touch, completely at his mercy—)

“You want to tickle me?”

“I—! Maybe… Yeah.”

Sasaki smiled. “You can, I don’t mind.”

Miyano turned to look up at him. “R-really?”

“Yep. Go on, show me what you’ve got.” Sasaki nonchalantly put his hands behind his head as he leaned back against the tree.

That wasn’t exactly the reaction Miya was hoping for, but he’ll take what he can get. Since Sasaki had already given him such easy access, Miyano reached up and skittered his fingers along Sasaki’s underarms. A slight smile tugged at the corners of Sasaki’s lips as he furrowed his brow.

“You can do better than that,” Sasaki taunted.

“Oh yeah?” Miyano was feeling eager, so he quickly clambered onto Sasaki’s lap and latched onto his hips.

“EEHEHE whahaha-wahahahahahahait!”

“How’s this, huh?”

“Pfftahahaha! Yohou certainly cahahaught me ohohohohoff guahahahard!” Sasaki playfully grabbed at Miyano’s hands, without any real intent to make him stop.

“I’m gonna find your worst spot! Is it here? Here? Maybe right here?” Miyano poked and prodded at Sasaki’s waist, abdomen, and right inside his belly button.

“Eek!”

“Ooh, riiight here? Is this a good spot?” Miyano gently wiggled his finger around inside of Sasaki’s belly button.

“Ahahahaha nohohooo!”

“Hm, what about here?” Miyano began rubbing his thumbs into Sasaki’s ribs.

“HAHAHA MIYAHAHAHAHA!”

“Oh, I see! Maybe I was using the wrong technique before. Are the rougher tickles worse?” Testing this theory, Miyano went back to Sasaki’s underarms and this time, instead of scratching lightly, he vibrated his fingers firmly into his hollows.

Sasaki practically screamed. “AAAAAHAHAHAHA WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MIYAAHA- *Sasaki’s laughter goes silent* AHAHAHAHAIEEEYAHAHA!!”

Miyano’s big brown eyes sparkled with joy. “Oh my gosh! Wait, so I was right the first time? This has to be your most ticklish spot!”

Sasaki clutched his stomach and fell softly to the right into a pile of cherry blossom petals. He threw his head back and kicked his legs uselessly. Miyano was unrelenting, having a little too much fun.

“MIHIHIHIHIYAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Sasaki grabbed Miyano’s hands with vigor and pulled him down into the pile of petals beside him.

“I… I didn’t know you had it in you!” Sasaki panted.

“I-I didn’t go too far, did I?” Miyano asked, turning to look at Sasaki.

Sasaki turned his head to face Miyano as well. “No, I’m just surprised.”

“Oh, good,” Miyano sighed.

Sasaki grinned. He formed his hands into claws and wiggled his fingers at Miya. “Now it’s your turn!”

Miyano’s eyes widened. Before he had a chance to react, Sasaki was already on top of him. He clawed at Miyano’s ribs, pinched his waist, and scribbled against his tummy.

“AAAAHahahAHAHA! N-nahahAHA!”

“Coochie coochie coo~! I think you’re even more ticklish than I am, Mya-chan!”

“I’m nAHAHAA WAIT WAIT NAHAHAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHERE!!”

“Oho, does somebody have sensitive thighs?”

Miyano’s face turned a shade that matched the petals surrounding it. “SAHAHASAKIHIHI!”

“You’re so cute. You really can’t handle this, huh?”

Miyano shook his head. “PLEHEHEHEAAHAHAHA! SOMEWHERE EHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Alright, alright. How about here?” Sasaki reached backwards to squeeze right above the tops of Miyano’s knees.

“NOHOHOHAHAHAHAHA!”

“You’re ticklish everywhere! What about underneath?”

“THAHAHAHAHAT’S WOHOHORSE!!”

Sasaki laughed along with him. “Hm, I have an idea,” he said, giving Miyano a break as he crawled off him.

Miyano gasped for air, still smiling widely. Sasaki wrapped his legs around Miyano’s, effectively trapping them. He then began to untie his shoes. Miyano hadn’t even noticed until Sasaki had taken one off and poked Miyano’s sole.

“KYAHA! W-w-wahait, Sasaki, please no!”

“No? What, are your feet reeeeaaaally ticklish?”

Miyano scrunched his face and nodded. He tugged at his legs, but they were completely stuck.

Sasaki pulled Miyano’s sock off and scritched across Miyano’s sole. “Tickle tickle~ Tickle tickle tickle tickle, Mya-chan!”

Miyano screeched. “AAAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA STAAHAAHAAAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“Oh wow, you weren’t kidding!”

Sasaki took Miyano’s other shoe and sock off and scribbled his fingers all over both of Miyano’s soles and the balls of his feet. Miyano was so loud that Sasaki only kept it up for a few seconds in fear of someone thinking they were hearing screams of bloody murder. He lightened his touches so that he was just barely gracing Miyano’s skin.

“YohOHoHOU ahahAHAHA! AHAHARE g-goHOhoing to kihIHILL mehEHEHEHE!!”

“I’m barely even touching you!” “IHIHI CAHAHAHAHAN’T! NahAHAT THAHAHAHAHAT!”

“What, your toes? You can’t handle the tickle tickle tickles under your ticklish little toes?”

Tears streamed down the sides of Miyano’s face as his laughter finally went silent. Not wanting to kill his poor boyfriend, Sasaki released Miyano’s legs. Miyano quickly curled into a ball.

“Ahahahaha, oh my Gohohahahaha…”

Sasaki leaned down to plant a kiss on Miyano’s forehead. Miyano finally opened his eyes to look up at him.

“There he is!” Sasaki beamed.

“Sh-shut uhuhup…”

A Fever in Spring

Chapter 3: An Impossibly Warm Front

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

Pairing(s): Sasaki x Miyano, Kagiura x Hirano

Genre: Fluff

Chapter Word Count: 1.1K+

Status: Ongoing

Chapter Summary: Things unexpectedly begin to heat up as Sasaki leaves no room to question where he stands in his feelings for Miyano. Kagiura learns the only reward for good work... is more work.

EXCERPT

Hirano’s sharp blue eyes blinked open with a start, shocked to not only be face-to-face with his wide eyed kohai but also to be keenly aware of the heat emanating from his hand which hung right before him. A heat that must have been contagious from the way it burned across Hirano’s nose and cheeks.

A/N: I made an outline for this series before I started writing it but, when I got to this chapter, I couldn’t figure out where to nestle it in the cadence of the “Hirano to Kagiura” storyline since the winding path of their relationship progressed so differently from poor Sasaki and Miyano’s. Ultimately, their timelines sync up somewhere before episode 5 of "Sasaki and Miyano" and just after Chapter 18 of "Hirano to Kagiura" so I just had to wait for that chapter to drop! Patience is a virtue and allat.

You don't need to have read "Hirano to Kagiura" for this chapter to make sense as enough is explained satisfactorily... hopefully. But read it anyway because it's delightful.

TL;DNR: Sorry for the wait, I’m awkward and indecisive but you can pretend I had a much more interesting excuse for the delay if you want to.

The white noise of rain filled the space between Hirano and Kagiura who lay huddled closely around a laptop. The movie had long since ended and the soft glow of the monitor displayed a drifting DVD logo. Kagiura, in the hushed quiet, hoped the sound of the heart pounding in his chest wasn’t disturbing Hirano. Unlike his stern senpai, he found the proximal space they presently shared to be entirely too overwhelming to drift serenely to sleep.

Through the shaggy cut of his bangs, his reticent eyes washed over the glowing contour of Hirano’s face, transfixed by the way the flickering light bounced off the apple of his decidedly high cheekbone. Rebelliously blonde hair spilled across his forehead and pooled beneath a pierced ear.

While his face was long and narrow, his features were far from delicate. To Kagiura, Hirano’s face was more mature than his own which still had a boyish roundness despite his otherwise hulking frame.

In many ways, Kagiura admired Hirano. He was intelligent and disciplined with a surprisingly sharp tongue. His disposition seemed to rest upon a razor’s edge when outside of the dorm, at least when it came to his peers. But, to Kagiura, he was also incredibly kind and thoughtful. He put a lot of thought into his appearance, a clever guise for how studious and by the book he was. But, if you didn’t know him, it’d be hard to appreciate or even recognize this dissonance. So, Kagiura counted himself, thankfully, among those who knew Hirano well.

On a whim, he dragged an arm from beneath the blanket they shared, resting his hand beneath his chin. “Have we ever.. been this close?” he pondered. They’d spent months living together before Kagiura became aware of his feelings for his roommate. Back then, it was a lot more effortless, the casual way they spent time together, hung over one another. But now, everything felt like it held meaning, hope even. Moreso after Kagiura confessed.. once, then twice, then the tens of times after that…

But Hirano never staunchly rejected him. Rather, he met each confession rationally with an unbothered indifference. Initially, that dismissal was almost more crushing than an outright refusal, like Kagiura’s feelings weren’t even registering on his radar. Plus, without Hirano for guidance, Kagiura’s support system to deal with such a heartbreak was either the jocks on his basketball team (who were great when it came to refining his jump shot but not so much matters of the heart) or his classmate Niibashi who was thankfully extremely patient in his counseling and supportively nonjudgmental… mostly. If it hadn’t been for Niibashi’s investment in this budding... whatever it was, Kagiura doubted he’d have gotten this far. “Wait ‘til he hears about this…” he smiled to himself, a disbelieving huff of air pushed through his nose forcefully.

Together, the roommates navigated the awkwardness of Kagiura’s confession, finding some semblance of normalcy, Kagiura’s difficulty in properly explaining his thoughts to Hirano, and, most recently, took on the threat of being split up as roommates.

Lately, they’d put countless hours towards studying to make sure that Kagiura could make the leap from 171st in his class to, at least, the 50th to lock in their dorm arrangement for the next year. Elated that Hirano would still push for them to room together a second year in light of his romantic feelings, Kagiura pressed forward unrelentingly. In the back of his mind, on occasion, but only when he thought he was losing steam studying… he’d allow himself the luxury of questioning whether Hirano wasn’t secretly in love with him, too. Especially, as he became more susceptible to compromising with Kagiura.

Pushing the boundaries between being roommates and doing as lovers do… even if it was only a solitary touch for ten seconds a day. Ultimately, he knew Hirano was just giving into Kagiura’s neediness along with his own need to spoil and pamper but it still made him think he had a chance. Now they lay, squished into one bed for a movie night, a reprieve and reward for Kagiura’s unprecedented commitment to his studies.

Something in the bewitching twilight gave Kagiura the impression that this was what it could be all the time. The thought sent a fresh wave of blood on a victory lap around his cheeks. He withdrew his other hand from the warm comfort between them and scrunched the hem of Hirano’s blanket tightly to his face, as if it could provide adequate camouflage for the feelings that continued to well within him. He took in the light fragrance of detergent and the ever present scent of Hirano’s body wash, something he always marveled he hadn’t become insensitive to. It brought a sense of relaxation, one he found most readily within the privacy of their room and under Hirano’s care.

Perhaps that could be to blame for the long spindly fingers that suddenly found themselves lingering over Hirano’s sleeping face. Apprehensive but intentional in hovering mere millimeters away, an outstretched pointer finger tentatively answered the call of temptation. “What am I doing? That could ruin this…” Kagiura winced ruefully. He’d decided long ago not to break the covenant of their daily ten seconds. Hoping that Hirano would somehow begin to miss the absence of his skin upon him. As if depriving him of a ten second handhold would trick his body into craving Kagiura’s touch the same way he found himself craving Hirano’s. It was not a well thought out plan but… he was winging it, after all.

“Maybe… just this once.” Kagiura sighed through his nose, thoughts still waging war as to whether it was worth the first time he felt Hirano’s lips to be something obscenely stolen by his fingertips in the dead of night. But it wasn’t quite the dead of night anymore, a fact he realized all too late just as the first crescendo of Hirano’s alarm began to sound.

Hirano’s sharp blue eyes blinked open with a start, shocked to not only be face-to-face with his wide eyed kohai but also to be keenly aware of the heat emanating from his hand which hung right before him. A heat that must have been contagious from the way it burned across Hirano’s nose and cheeks.

Miyano rolled over in bed, drenched in a cold sweat. His sleep had been sparse and wracked with anxiety and a feverish post-nasal drip that felt like swallowing razors. Sasaki had done it, put his confession out into the open. There were no if’s, and’s or but’s about his feelings anymore and, while that gave Miyano’s imagination a rest, he now had an entirely new problem to solve. How exactly was he meant to respond?

“Ughh…” he croaked, wondering if his worries could have made himself sick. “If only I hadn’t run in the rain. Better yet, if I hadn’t stayed after school late at all. Maybe Sasaki-senpai wouldn’t have-” his thoughts began spiraling. “I guess I’m staying home today… crap.”
