the first time reo sees you, he’s barely fourteen and  it’s in his family home, sitting straight in your seat at the dining table.
you look gorgeous with your big, curious eyes, long lashes, and a lip balm giving your pout a pink sheen. you’re different from all the other girls he’s seen around at school - you don’t try to look older, and actually look your age. a nice change for once. he steals a few glances upon your way from his seat diagonally across, fork digging into the tender steak on his plate. it was nice for a change to not be the only teen at the table, and actually, it was a bit surprising too. your parents were frequent guests at his house, due to the many links between their company and mikage corp, but this was the first time you tagged along. actually, reo doesn’t think he’s ever heard them mention having a daughter - but then again, his head is always anywhere but here, at the table, when the adults discuss over business details and joke around topics that make his head ache and confusion settle on his features.
“what about you, love? got any plans for the future?” reo moves his eyes from his glass of juice to his mother upon hearing her address you. she’s so sweet, just like always. 
you blink once, twice, and nod quickly, “oh- oh, yes, actually. i want to help people.” you beam, the smile you’re sporting making your cheeks plump and full. “maybe, um, set up a foundation, or something? i dunno, like the one that organized the ball a week ago, right papa?”
reo has to hold back a roll of his eyes, the interest you first sparked in him long gone. now this was something he’s heard from about every other girl he knows - the other option either being fashion or a family company heir, just like him. you sound a bit clueless, too, the sheepish tone of your voice making you seem even more childish. (not like he’s grown up, of course, but then again, you’re even worse.) 
despite how cute you are that day, reo doesn’t feel any interest in you whatsoever. the reason behind why you looked so innocent compared to his other friends, who already started to experiment with makeup and more mature clothing, doesn’t make it any easier to like you either. you are a year younger, and from what his mother tells him once you leave, your parents are very strict on keeping you unscathed by the pressure social media and society puts on young girls. now the thought of you hanging out at his place more often sounds so nohow, it doesn’t even make him excited to finally have some company. you seem immature and a bit naive, and while reo’s anything but aloof, he doubts that he’ll ever get along with you.
or, at least, so he thinks after the night you first meet. as expected, you start coming over to his place more often, now that a brand new deal between your families is about to be signed. while your parents discuss future plans over wine, reo is shocked to hear that for once, maybe he can show you around the house instead of sitting next to them and getting familiar with the investments. 
you’re not actually that insufferable, reo realizes after several long hours of you hanging out together in his room. you have an older brother that’s a professional volleyball player now, and he sees the longing in your eyes when you mention him playing overseas. it sparks his interest, how your brother began his career when he was just about his age - he had everything a teenage boy could ever dream of, and yet, he’d rather move to the other side of the world to chase a dream that didn’t gave him any certainty. the more you talk, the softer and less infantile you seem - reo realizes that you actually do know a lot about worldwide humanitarian issues, a lot more than any other kid your age. he listens intently as you tell him about the things you like to do after school, about the many hobbies your parents put you on, and somehow, you manage to find a common ground. you talk and game and laugh for hours, until the night falls and your mum comes up to reo’s room to collect you. 
reo gives you a little wave goodbye, and from now on looks forward to your visits - for a while.
years pass by, and while reo manages to keep up his spot on top of his every class, all while meeting up with friends and traveling the world with his parents, you just seem… the same. yeah, you got smarter - a scholarship from the states being the best proof - and prettier, too, which reo is sure other boys notice as well. but you still have this little dreamy edge to you, your laugh all too high pitched and random at times, and you still blush profusely whenever a boy comes anywhere near. you’re still nice, but just not as fun to be around; you're different, than him and the other girls he knows and starts to surround himself with. it’s not your fault either, as reo figures it must be your parents keeping you away from all the opportunities - better or worse - that teenagery has to offer. you’re busy with the scholarship now, thinking of going on a student exchange to the usa, even, and while reo sees it as praiseworthy, you two just seem to lose the common language you once had. 
second year of highschool comes by, and you’re merely just a thought at the very back of reo’s head when he meets nagi. the two get along as if they’ve known each other their whole lives, even though seishiro needs a little (uh, maybe a bit bigger) push, and the friendship and newly found passion about football gets reo going. he doesn’t even see you around too often anymore, considering he’s barely at home after school, and even if he is, the time is spent on arguing with his parents. the only times he remembers about you is when you’re brought up by his father - a prime example of how one should take advantage of the privileges they were born into, instead of picking up a worthless dream. he knows you’ve got nothing to do with this, and yet still, the thought of you makes reo hurl.
reo doesn’t really miss you a lot during his time at blue lock - and he doesn’t think it’s anything harsh, considering you were barely good friends and only ever hung out when your parents did, and it was still long years ago, back before you two even properly hit puberty. there’s enough going on during the selections to keep his mind busy and muscles taut with stress - he doesn’t need any interruptions in getting to the top and so, the thought of you is pushed to the very back of his mind. it only ever changes the day of the u20 match, when the buzz of the blue lock’s team victory is still making his skin crawl and blood rush. he’s tired, his legs feel like jelly, and yet, he still makes out the familiar voice from the front row stands as he goes to leave to the locker room.
“reo!” he turns his head upon his name being called out, brows furrowed as he wipes the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. he recognizes the sing-song voice, but the memory is a bit blurry as violet eyes scan through the crowd and eventually fall upon the hand vigorously waving around - moving down, they lock with your bright orbs, a vibrant grin on your lips.
to say that he’s surprised to see you is an understatement - he takes a quick glance around you to check if you’re there with your parents, but he sees that you’re in fact alone. must’ve been your idea now, wasn’t it? reo jogs over to the barriers, and only after closing the distance between the two of you does he notice the changes in your appearance that must’ve happened over the past few months. 
he spots the way your features look way more mature now, and how you seem to finally have started to accentuate them with the right makeup. your skin still has the girly glow to it, though, or it might just be the wide smile on your face that’s lighting it up - either way, you definitely look even prettier than the last time reo has seen you, which must’ve been around his sixteenth birthday. 
“you won!” you exclaim happily, leaning against the barriers and reaching a hand out to high-five him once he’s in arms reach. he’s a bit hesitant, but only out of surprise.  “thought they would never bring you out,” you quip, watching reo roll his eyes. geez, thanks. “doesn’t your head hurt from that save?” your dainty fingers touch at reo’s reddened forehead, and it makes a foreign flutter wake in his chest. 
“not really,” he shrugs, letting you ruffle his hair slightly. were you really that touchy with him these few years ago, back when you were children? he can’t recall. “what’re you doing here anyway?” he rubs at his eye, the other one glancing up at you curiously. from his spot under the bleachers, he has just the perfect sight of your cleavage - and usually it wouldn’t affect him in any way, but to his surprise, his gaze is met with bare skin. reo has to swallow thickly upon the initial startle, eyes momentarily locked with the gold  necklace that he now remembers you wear even years ago - but this time, it rests right between the valley of your perky breasts, barely visible from the spot where your tits squeeze together. fuck - he knows that puberty can be a blessing sometimes. but could that really be the same you?
your voice brings him back to the present, gaze quickly tearing away from your chest, “i could finally see you play, reo! i never even heard you mention soccer,” you state, voice falling a bit near the end of the sentence. almost as if you regretted the way your friendship turned out. “do you still have the same number?” the question brings a hopeful tilt to your voice, and it makes reo smile a bit. there it is - the same awaiting, sweet sound.
“yeah,” he replies, looking up to lock his eyes with your doe ones. the clumpy, thick mascara on your lashes really does the trick, he thinks as he watches your lips stretch in a smile. “i don’t have my phone on me at blue lock, though - but we will catch up once i’m back, yeah?” now you were not the only one that has undergone a major change throughout the years, and while reo didn’t look all that different, there was definitely a shift in his personality. yeah, he was still real sweet with everyone, barely ever getting into any fights or arguments and staying on good terms with pretty much everybody. he always could have any girl he wanted - could pick and choose from tens of them at school, and then everywhere else he went - and yet, not even one of them grew suspicious of the way he is. not one of his previous girlfriends or the ones he only hung out with once or twice seemed aware of how his eyes naturally rested lower than on their face when they spoke. they only grew giddier at the way his hands would grope at the soft fat of their tits, their hips, squeezing at their bottom in a way that made their head spin - in a way they’ve already heard from their friends, who also got lucky enough to catch reo’s attention. maybe they were also just glad that it was finally their chance, and didn’t give his hungry touches any second thoughts? maybe they really did think that he was just like all the other horny teenagers, buzzing with hormones, and that his long days of practice only spurred him on even more.  sometimes, reo was surprised, even, at how quickly they would respond to his sly texts, a picture attached with no trace of shame. did they ever let the thought of him keeping these pictures linger, or were they really just this dumb?
the more recognition he gets thanks to the blue lock project and neo egoist league, the larger his range of possibilities grows. there’s girls flooding his dm’s, his name being thrown around different thirst tweets, and yet, it’s not like reo’s not used to it already. he's turned eighteen barely a few months before the blue lock project, and so he's already had plenty of time to finally let up all of this pent up tension. he meets up with a few girls during his breaks, spends the night, and is off early morning - with a pair of lace knickers in his back pocket, if he’s lucky (and the girl oblivious enough). some of them don’t even notice the flash going off as they ride him, their back to his face, taking just a little memoir to keep locked under a passworded folder in his gallery - something that he can play back in his mind, when he’s back at the blue lock facility, alone in the showers.
between his little hook ups, he still finds the time to keep his promise - and drives over to your house, which he is a little surprised to find with no sight of you the first time he comes by. “oh, she’s living on her own now! had to move closer to her university.” oh. "she'll be so happy to see you, though, reo! it's been ages since i've seen you, too." to say that he’s shocked by your mother’s words is an understatement - hell, you could even fly a private helicopter to uni each and every day if you only ever wished for it - so did your parents, always so overprotective, really let you move out and start living by yourself? nonetheless, reo is actually kind of content to be hanging out with you again. (the way you carry yourself, so soft and sweet as if your looks weren't enough to fill any guy's thoughts with pure filth, might just be the main reason.) he learns that you got into the university of tokyo on top of the acceptance list and are floored with not only work, but also the uni life that everyone else has been telling you about. ah. so that’s where the sudden change in looks came from, he realizes as you tell him about how happy you were that your best of friends managed to get in with you.
“she’s so cool! i think you would’ve liked her, reo,” you tease, a grin on your lips as you tell him about one of your friends and even go to show him her instagram pictures. he hums, “yeah, she's-" "if only she wasn’t into older guys.” you elbow him in the side with a giggle, and it makes him wonder how to wrap his head around the dissonance you’re giving him.
reo starts to feel less and less surprised with the way you turned out the more you tell him about the girls you befriended in high school, and then the ones you were hanging out with in your sorority house as well. you’ve always been kept in a bubble, as your parents’ greatest treasure - their sweetest little girl, as if you weren’t in your golden age to start experimenting with life and all it had to offer. it was honestly only a matter of time until you slipped away, the blinders your parents wore making them oblivious to your newly born adventurous nature. she’s not like that, he bet they’d say. have you seen her? she’s as innocent as they get! how the hell you managed to stay just that way, reo couldn’t figure out for the life of him. you’re wearing the skimpiest skirts he’s seen on a girl in a long time, your tits spilling out of your top, lashes curled to the heavens and yet, when you look at him, you have the same childish excitement in your doe-like eyes - and it feels as if you haven’t grown at all from when he first met you.
you were never really insufferably dumb to begin with, and reo knows that. your parents made sure you got the greatest education possible and you were a straight A student, keeping interest in many fields - starting from finances and economics, through arts and finishing at high tech. maybe that’s what makes it so appealing and easy to talk to you, spending long hours on bickering and discussing, even though your mind seems so, so much more innocent than his - hell, than any other girl’s your age, too. whenever he slips a dirty joke in the conversation, you frown slightly, a pout on your lips as if asking, what do you mean, reo?, and it doesn’t make any sense to him. yet again - how can that be possible, with the way all of your little friends are carrying themselves?
you start spending more time with each other, considering how close your condo is to the blue lock facility, and it becomes a little routine for him to come right over to your place whenever he gets a few days of break. you spend the time watching tv shows, stuffing your face full of snacks, going to the arcade and gossiping about reo’s teammates or whatever one of your girlfriends did since the last time you two have seen each other.
“m’so happy we’re friends now, reo,” you mumble one night, curled up to his side on the couch, nearly dozing off with some random action movie playing from the flat screen tv. “y’remind me of him so much, yanno?” 
ah, so there it is - the reason behind you always staying hooked to his arm. even though you were coming from a very similar background as him, reo was still a little more experienced in life - having seen more, thanks to the blue lock, among other things - and after all, he was a year older than you, wasn’t he? he carried himself with this confident, yet playful smile all of the time, and made everyone in his company feel warm - very much like your older brother did. thanks to him (or more like your stories about him), reo manages to get a good glimpse at how a sportsman’s life really looks like - how even though your family was so close, his visits happen thrice a year at most, and it leaves you missing him so bad, he even has to comfort you and wipe away your tears on one of your movie marathon nights.
sometimes, it seems like there’s two sides to him. one, that makes every girl’s knees buckle at just one glance; and the other, showcased by a bright grin and giddy behavior. either way, reo doesn’t really think of himself badly. it’s not like he’s doing any of it against the girls’ wishes, isn’t it? some would even consider it a good deed, even, he’s pretty sure, with the way he’s the very first one to be touching them that way, taking their innocence away. the only time he ever starts to feel guilt eating away at his insides is when the same filth spills all over his mind, clouding over his senses whenever you are around.
it’s been a year since the neo egoist league has ended - a year full of you, amongst soccer and other things that tore his mind and body down with exhaustion. movie nights, adventure parks, helping you study, going to frat parties with you, even - cause none of the girls are comin’, reo, please, just this once! - as if he really needed any convincing to come. some of the guys there were his high school friends, he realized, and so the thought of catching up with his old colleagues made the party even more appealing. (not to mention the tens of girls that would kill to have him lick the salt off their tummy, the tequila on his tongue bringing a bitter taste to their mouth as they kissed later - one of his favorite party activities, honestly, considering how hard it made him in his pants.) 
the first time it happens, reo’s by the makeshift bar, chatting up with a friend he used to sit with at chemistry lab as he pours them a drink - and his head lazily tilts to the side upon hearing your voice calling out to him.
“reo!” you sound as excited as always when addressing him, and he has to chuckle at the way you stumble over your own feet as you strut over to his spot by the bar. “reo, we’re- we’re playing beer pong. wanna team up w’me?” 
the amused laughter dies down in his throat as his eyes zero in on your cleavage, the fat of your tits jiggling with each step you hurriedly take towards him. he sees the slight sheen of sweat, watches the way it reflects the neon lights, how it accentuates the glitter of the body spray you put on right before you left the house. reo is glad he has his hand stuck in his pocket, cause now he can quickly fix his hardening dick without making it suspicious - he gives himself a slight squeeze and clears his throat as you approach him.
you smell of coconut, and the scent overwhelms his senses as soon as you press yourself up against him - a giggle leaving your mouth as you wrap your arms around his neck and pull him in to press a wet kiss to his cheek. “pretty, pretty please? y’know i’ve never ever played it, and if i lose it’ll make me a loser, won’t it now, reo,” you babble on, a laugh leaving your mouth as his friend gives your nose a flick. he must’ve told you something amusing, reo supposes, but the both of you are drowned out as blood thuds in his ears - as it throbs in his pants, cock aching by how ridiculously hard it got at the feeling of you pressed up against him. he feels your tits as they squish against his chest, feels the rumble of your laughter, the flutter of your lashes against his neck-
“‘xcuse me,” he mumbles, hurriedly, and pries your arms off - earning a surprised look from you (and a cute drunken stumble). making his way through the crowd, the smell of spilled liquor and sweat and mixed perfume makes his head even dizzier, to the point that he’s stumbling into the bathroom, kicking the door shut behind him.
one hand works on turning the lock while the other undoes the button of his plaid gray pants, a shaky groan slipping past his lips at the crumb of relieved tension. he dips a hand past the waistband of his boxers and pulls his throbbing cock out, thumb smearing the milky white pre-cum all around the reddened tip as he grabs onto the sink tightly for support.
“shit,” reo nearly whines at the image playing out in the very front of his mind. it’s almost like he can still inhale you, feel you as the heat of your body against his turns his legs to mush. he bites down on his lip, hard, in an attempt to quiet down the needy gasps that leave his mouth every so often, with every jerk of his hand. he tightens his grip on the porcelain, wrist flicking hurriedly and it makes him squeeze his eyes shut, strands of violet hair falling over his forehead as he groans quietly. please, pretty please, reo. it reverbs in his ears, but this time, it’s breathy, needy - as he imagines you giving him your prettiest wide eyes, tears sticking to your lashes, mascara running down your cheeks as he holds your thighs wide open, watching the way your pussy struggles to fit him in-
“ah- fuck, take it-” a mewl-like sound catches in his throat, toned abs spasming as white spills all over the bathroom sink. he struggles to catch his breath, hips needily thrusting into his hand as he rides out the high that leaves a loud ringing in his ears. throwing his head back, he groans softly as he feels the thick cum pool on his fingers, dripping down onto the pearly white porcelain - staining it with filth.
 it takes him a breather to finally flutter his eyes open, the bring white light stinging the bloodshot orbs - and he hums to himself, softly, a sigh following soon after as his shoulders relax. he lets go of the edge of the sink and instead turns the faucet on, cleaning his hands off any filth and patting any residue off his cock with a paper towel in relative silence. a random tune booms through the speakers outside, but the bathroom door do their job mellowing it out as he cleans after himself, taking his time to fully come down his high.
the realization only hits him when he’s finished zipping his pants back up and about to fix his hair, glancing up at the mirror - and sees the red tint on his cheeks and blood clinging to the torn skin of his bottom lip, glossy eyes staring right back at him.
maybe he is a bit fucked up, after all.
you wake up in your bed the next morning, a glass of water along with a tablet of aspirin left on your bedside table. loser :p, the note stuck right next to it says, and you honestly wish you remembered what the little joke is about. 
“this is so embarrassing,” you whine into your pillow a few hours later and reo chuckles under his breath at the way your legs kick out, body overcome with shame. “i can’t remember a thing! i don’t know what i was even doin’ most of the night,” you mumble, eyes almost teary as you pull your face away to give reo a discontented look. he hums softly, glancing over at you just for a split second before focusing back on the stocks on his phone screen.
“see, that’s why i told you not to drink this much.” he says matter-of-factly, “you’re lucky i was there. you never know who’s at the party with you, kiddo, so you need to stay aware at all times.”
now, reo has to admit that the sight of your eyes glazing over with tears, a subtle pout on your lips, shouldn’t be making him feel as hot as it does - and yet, he continues, and digs the hole underneath you even deeper. 
“there’s many bad guys around and you know it,” he mumbles, lilac eyes momentarily catching yours. you gulp and pull your knees up towards your chest for comfort, tears of shame tingling at your lashes. “you’re a smart girl, after all, yeah?”
were the things he said true? definitely - especially for such pretty and sweet girls like you, too good for your own good. but were you really in any danger last night, with him keeping an eye on you the whole time (except for his little… getaway)? not really - but seeing the anxious expression on your face was worth it. sometimes, it made reo feel like he should just grab you by the shoulders and tell you that you had to grow up eventually, for your own safety and comfort. but then again, he doubted it’d even work anyway, and besides, the adrenaline rush he experienced each and every time he instilled a crumb of fear in your heart was just too good to let pass.
it does feel good to have you cling to him even tighter, after all, he figures as you climb on his lap weeks later asyou two hang out in the evening. your hair blocks his view of the game he’s watching, but it only takes a little squirming for you to get fully comfortable and allow him the full look on the tv screen.
“who’s playing today?” you chime in, leaning forward to grab a handful of popcorn. reo’s voice catches in his throat, unable to help the way his eyes cast down, to where your ass is pressing firmly against his crotch and thighs. the waistband of your shorts sticks away from your flesh, allowing him to take a peek of the thin elastic of your thong - bright purple, just like his eyes. it makes him shudder.
“real madrid and barcelona,” he mumbles, clearing his throat and his hand almost flies down to cup his growing bulge in a weak attempt to hide it. the idea dies down in his mind as soon as he realizes your full attention is on the screen, soft hums leaving your mouth every so often along with little comments about the play. you’re absolutely oblivious to his cock prodding at your bum, hard on pressing right against the fat cheeks and aching. some would say it’s embarrassing how quickly reo could stand to full alert, but honestly… who wouldn’t, right? he shifts in his seat, an arm reaching to rest on the backrest of your sofa. he tries, really fucking struggles to keep his eyes on the screen as well, but your small sounds of excitement or frustration make it near impossible. you fidget slightly, 
“ah! it hit the pole,” you mumble, brows knit in focus and hands resting on top of reo’s knees, bare and bruised up from the hours of training. reo closes his eyes, deciding to try his luck - and he bucks his hips up, slowly, as to not scare you off his lap. instead, he’s met with silence - and he glances at you shortly, just to make sure.
he has just the perfect view of your back, skin smooth and glowy, and his hands itch to rest on the curve of your waist. experimentally, he places a hand on your side, and feels you shiver under his fingertips.
“your hands are cold,” you whine, but instead of pushing it off your bare skin, you do the thing he doesn’t even dare to dream of right now - you squirm. reo moves his other hand to his mouth, leaning back into the plush sofa as his hips do the very contrary and thrust up against you.
you don’t seem to acknowledge how uncomfortable the position generally is, how it should be for any other male friend whose lap would be occupied by you. instead, you lean forward slightly, hips rolling against reo’s crotch just slightly, and you sigh softly as you give his knees a gentle squeeze.
can you really be this oblivious? honestly, it’s hard to tell which thought makes him harden more - you just putting up a little facade and actually just teasing him by this point, or, which is more likely considering your sweet nature - you being truly, absolutely unaware of how your fidgeting was making his dick throb and ache. the sounds of the game are long forgotten, barely a haze in reo’s mind, as blood pumps in his ears and mouth salivates at both the sight and sensation on you almost bent over on his lap. he feels your dainty fingers tap against his knees mindlessly, or giving his flesh a gentle squeeze whenever you tense up in excitement over the match. he has to lean his head back, eyes closed and teeth nearly sinking into his hand as to not make a sound.
he rolls his hips up against your bum languidly, the friction sending sparks down his thighs, and it feels heavenly. he thinks of how your small hands will feel as they rest in the same exact place as now, but instead, they work as support when you lower yourself down on his cock. he wonders how you’d squeal if he grabbed at your ass, left his hand prints all over the soft flesh, setting a rhythm for you to ride him. for a second, it even occurs to him that maybe, just maybe, if he pushed himself to make a move, the little sleepover with your best friend really could end up with him splitting you open on his dick. 
reo hears his breath hitch in his throat, the familiar tension in his abdomen growing stronger, and it urges him to grind against you just a bit faster. upon realizing that you really are absolutely oblivious to how he’s using you to get off, it seems like most of his limits broke loose. (it’s not like anything would happen if you ever did find out, though, right?) his cock throbs and pulses against the thin gray boxers, pre-cum already sticking to the material and it feels fucking disgusting, but so good. he tips over his climax, eventually, hips stuttering beneath you and just as he feels the first spurt of cum soak into the soft cotton, you let out a gasp, and jolt in his lap. 
the sensation is enough to make reo’s eyes widen, a choked groan leaving his lips at the way your ass rubs down on him just perfectly, as if helping him ride his high out. his head feels airy as he listens to your little squeal of excitement mix with the sports announcer’s lively comments, the sound tuned out and barely a buzz in his ears. the sticky and thick cum pools in his boxers, and he wonders if you really cannot feel the obvious wetness through the material of his shorts.
you shift in your seat on his lap, ripping a groan from his throat at the way you press down against his overstimulated cock. turning around to give him a puzzled look upon the sound, the sight of your eyes wide and bright almost chokes reo up. 
“you okay?” you ask, a hand reaching towards his face to brush a strand of hair out of his eyes. you don’t seem to notice the way perspiration clings to his brows as you touch him.
he gives a nod, swallowing down the saliva that pooled in his mouth, before clearing his throat. 
“yeah,” he speaks, and he’s surprised how collected he sounds for someone who had just creamed his pants. his eyes follow the screen, watching the player’s goal from a minute ago replay and it’s actually a little silly how lucky he is to get such a good cover, in fact, as he watches the camera zoom in on his favorite club’s goalkeeper and his sour expression.  “just really want barca to win, s’all.” 
reo gives up on the hope of you finally growing more self-aware anytime soon when a few more months pass and yet, you still don't notice how your panties would disappear from the hamper or how reo has to excuse himself from the room when you're around - only to come back minutes later, eyes glossed over.
you're starting to make it hard for him not to make a move, and he's honestly stunned that he went so long without finally having his way with you. hell, he even brings you along to the small weekend trip he's came up with, just before the new u20 squad was to be announced. the blue lock team deserves some relaxation before the season starts, even if it is barely a few days, and you do too, considering you had just finished your finals (on top of your class as always). and so, he brings you with him and the rest of the guys and their partners - who at first ask how long you two have been together and then give a surprised look when you laugh, oh! oh no, reo's like a brother to me, really! (something about his longing looks and the way he'd grab your hips tells them different, but oh well, that's not any of their business, right?) the sight of you in all the skimpy bikinis, skin glowing with the tanning oil and cheeks kissed by the sun might just be the breaking point - or at least, one of them, the other being you, going on a date with one of his teammates, and getting your little heart broken.
the sight of you on his doorstep, head hung low and soft little sniffles sounding through the rain outside, is a shock indeed - and reo only has it in himself to coo softly as you stumble right into his arms.
"hey- hey, what's goin' on?" he tries to pull you back from his chest, but the grip you have on his waist is surprisingly strong. instead, he reached for the handle and clicks the door shut, hands moving to rub up and down your arms afterwards. "what happened, bunny?"
your shoulders tremble once, nimble fingers tightening on the material of his white tee. "don' wanna talk," you mumble, and reo wraps his arms around your shoulders, lips pressing to the crown of your head soothingly.
"okay," he mumbles, breathing in the all too familiar scent of your shampoo mixing with the sweet, sticky coconut of your perfume. it brings him back to the frat party months earlier - and makes heat pool in his stomach, even now, as you're sniveling against his broad chest. "i'll run you a bath, okay? you'll get sick."
you don't have it in you to refuse, and in a span of an hour, you're already curled up in the middle of reo's bed, wearing a spare pair of your joggers and one of his sweaters. there's two half-empty cups of ginger tea on the bedside table, and you lay on your side, knees hugged to your chest as you ramble.
reo stares at your face as you speak in a hushed tone, propping his head up on his hand, the other busy with rubbing small circles into your hip. he knows it's bad, god, he knows it's fucked up, but he feels his abdomen tighten at the sight of crystal tears sticking to your lash line.
"and then i said..." you take in a breath, bottom lip jutted out. "said that i- i don't want to do it anymore. that maybe we shouldn't after all, so he got annoyed and tried to change my mind, but-" you cut your rambling off at the silence you're met with, eyes glancing up to check on reo's expression.
he's always been an attentive listener, but this time, the silence almost sounds different. the boy hums, and tugs you a little closer to him. "shouldn't do what?" he inquires; and if it wasn't for the tears smudging your vision, you would've noticed the way he swallows thickly.
you feel your cheeks heat up and scrunch your nose, shaking your head. "you know what, reo," you mumble and he has to force back a sly smile. you're so shy, and now also slightly shaken still from what happened mere two or three hours ago. "i told you already.."
you trail off, the topic clearly bringing you discomfort and yet, reo doesn't drop it entirely. you've grown used to him being so thorough in your conversations, but this time, it makes you fidget slightly.
of course he knows. god of course he does, and the thing keeps him awake some nights, especially after he's scored a goal or two and he has to blow off some steam.
reo's well aware that you've never been with a guy. you've kissed a few of them, yeah, sure. you could've even made out with them, had their tongues down your throat - but you were still innocent, in more ways than one. you were drop dead gorgeous, and yet, the way you would be absolutely oblivious to other guys advance's still hadn't changed one bit since you were barely a young teen. maybe that's why you've never had a man grope you, please you, ruin you - make you stumble over your own feet the morning after.
he's wonders if you've even ever thought of it - if you ever desired to be played with.
"i know," he chuckles slightly and dips his hand under the hem of the thick sweater draped over your waist. a thumb starts to smooth tiny circles across your flesh, mimicking the gesture from seconds before. "i know, bunny. but i've told you already, didn't i, how there's plenty bad guys around." he points out, hand giving your waist a slight squeeze upon feeling you tense up. "why didn't you tell me that you were meetin' someone, hm?"
you can't stand the intensity of reo's violet eyes boring into yours, and so you only give a slight shrug and avert your gaze, "i dunno, reo. just wanted to try something new." you admit, the words now sour on your tongue and you know that this'll be the last time you ever try to go out of your comfort zone for a long, long time. "everyone already did it. i stick out." you grumble, expression soft even as you frown.
your words don't leave him undisturbed - in fact, the expression on reo's face doesn't give out any of the things he's thinking about. if it did, he's sure his eyes would turn black with greed, and he'd most probably drool over the thought of him being the one you turned to instead-
oh.
"why didn't you just ask me?" reo sits up slightly, the arm used to support his head up now straightened. you look up at him, hand itching to brush the hair out of his face - something you seem to always do whenever he has his hair down - but the intensity of his gaze leaves you flustered enough to back down.
"ask you?" you squeak out. it's cute how shocked you sound, reo thinks.
"yeah, why not?" his hand moves further up, warmth resting on your ribs now, just barely below the swell of your breast. you're not wearing any bra - of course you aren't. it's not like you've ever thought of being the slightest bit embarrassed in front of him - not like you've ever noticed how he had to fix his boner at the glimpse of your nipples perking through the shirt you would wear at one of your sleepovers.
the feeling is so unfamiliar, it makes your head dizzy. you and reo have always been touchy with each other - but it's because you were best friends, and it was your way of keeping close, so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. but now, as he looks at you with such intensity and pushes on the topic that brings you so much embarrassment, the touch seems out of place.
"you know that your first time is really important, right? you'll compare all of your next boyfriends to this," reo hums, giving your flesh a light squeeze. "s'why you have to be real careful who you're pickin' to be your very first, doll." eventually, he pushes himself up straight, and it feels like the air around you has thinned and finally, you could breathe free again.
"still- wouldn't that be... weird, if i asked you to?" you prop yourself up on your elbows and you're surprised you even managed to force the words out. your heart hammers inside your chest, "we're best friends..." you mumble, and reo shrugs - nonchalantly, as if the ache in his boxers wasn't driving him crazy.
"that's what best friends are for," he points out and reaches a hand towards your ankle, fingers gently skimming along the delicate skin. it makes you shiver and fidget slightly as he massages along your calf. "it's nothin' weird. i could just help you out, so you know what you like and how to make a guy feel good, yeah?" you roll your head to the side, face burning. this sounds insane - reo, your sweetest best friend that almost feels like an older brother to you, telling you how he can be your first. what's worse, no matter how uncanny it feels, it surprisingly doesn't raise any objections in your mind.
you must be silent for a short while, because soon he drums his fingers against your knee. (you didn't even notice when his hand moved upwards, and how good it feels.)
"hey, we don't have to," not now, at least. but god, it's getting so exhausting to hold himself back. "but it would be easier for you that way, bunny.. you trust me, don't you?" your heart pulls in your chest at the words, teeth sinking into your bottom lip and reo almost feels sorry for how he's messing with your head.
but honestly, he's not even trying to - after all, he's just saying the truth. if only you gave him the green light, he could show you so much. he knows you better than anyone else, better than any guy out there ever will. he could make you feel things you didn't know were even possible, pull sounds from you that would make you blush with embarrassment. all he needs is just a chance.
the quiet rustling of the sheets brings him back from the train of thoughts and the sight of you, legs slightly spread in front of him, eyes glossed over and cheeks reddened, is enough to choke him up.
"f'course i do," there's a slight whimper to your voice, breath soft as your chest heaves. "s-so, reo, please..."
a grunt catches in his throat as he grabs your ankles, gently, and pulls you towards him - hands immediately moving to roam up your middle. goosebumps rise along your skin, back arching slightly, and you glance up as reo wraps your legs around his hips.
"will make you feel good," he promises, breathily, as he leans down. you can see how blown his pupils are - the pretty violet barely a halo around the black by now. he licks his lips, gaze darting towards yours, but goes to vocalize his question anyway. "can i?"
you would've answered, but the close proximity between you two and the way you can feel reo's soft breath his your mouth makes you act before you can think. you lean in, lips pressing against his in a chaste kiss, and carefully cup his face in your hands.
reo moans into your mouth, shameless, and brings one large palm to rest back on your hip to grab at the soft flesh. you're so sweet, so gentle - treating him with reserve still, but it feels heavenly anyway. just the way he always imagined.
his tongue slips into your mouth, a surprised little sound muffled against his mouth, as he deepens the kiss languidly. your head spins at the feeling of reo's warm tongue, sliding against yours and lapping lazily, fingers lacing together at the nape of his neck. you're pulling him closer, ankles locking behind his hips as he presses himself against you.
there's a bashful mewl slipping past your lips as you feel reo's hard cock rut against your clothed core.
"you're so pretty," he breathes into the kiss, breaking it as he pulls away just slightly, enough to look at you. "see? you're makin' me feel so good, bunny, and we're just kissin'." he grabs your hips with both of his hands now, moving them against his crotch.
the feeling reminds you of when you'd touch your little pussy yourself - late night, under the covers, when the tension and warmth in your tummy would just get too much. but never, ever would you ever think that someone else rubbing at your sweet spots could feel this good. your clit throbs against the cotton of your sweats, and it's almost as if reo feels it at the way he grinds your hips against his harder.
"reo-" you gasp, hand grabbing at his bicep 'cause it's starting to feel like too much. his hands are firm and heavy, holding you against him and handling you however he likes - however he seems fit. it's good, but you have a feeling that it might get even better.
"i know," he coos, chuckling at the way your eyes flutter when he pulls away. he gives your - well, his - sweater a tug, "take it off for me, doll."
you give a small nod and quickly work on taking the clothing off, the air cold against your heated skin. you shiver slightly, both from the change in temperature and the way reo looks at you.
he sighs shakily, hands moving to rest on your waist before slowly moving up and grab at your breasts. you lull your head back into the pillows, the feeling of reo's warmth palms making you shudder. it's new - you've never had anyone touch you like that, ever - and makes warmth pool in your abdomen.
"fuck," you hear him whisper under his breath as he massages at the plush of your tits - fingers experimentally giving a pinch to one of your nipples. you whimper at the feeling, jolting slightly, "fuck, feel how they fit right in my hands?" he flexes his fingers on the flesh for emphasis. "like they were made f'me." a soft groan leaves his mouth, before he leans down and wraps it around your areola.
your eyes widen slightly at the tickling sensation, reo's tongue warm and heavy against your hard nipple, and your back's arching off the mattress before you can register it.
there's a hand slipping past the waistband of your sweatpants, rough fingertips skimming against the skin of your abdomen, just right above your pussy. your hips stutter and chest heaves, making reo moan out at how you stuff his face full with your tits. you're so fucking needy, and you don't even seem to notice. your body acts on it's own, natural and by instinct upon feeling so much pleasure all at once, and it makes his head spin.
he gently dips a finger between your folds, drawing a little circle against your hole and his breath hitches in his throat at the way wetness oozes right out. he pulls away from your chest, a thick ribbon of saliva connecting his reddened lips with your nipple, and looks up at you.
there's one of your forearms resting over your eyes, lips fallen apart as soft little moans slip past. you only pull your arm away from your face when his hand pushes your pants down and doesn't return to it's previous place between your thighs - instead, he taps his fingers on your lips.
you look up at him, eyes tentative, as he breathes out, "lick them for me, baby. so it doesn't hurt."
he knows damn well that you're wet enough to manage a finger or two, even if it is your very first time taking something longer and thicker than your dainty fingers - but the sight of you obediently parting your lips, tongue lolling out to lap at his digits before softly suckling is worth the lie.
reo feels his cock throb as he watches you, intently, as you circle your tongue around his fingers and struggle to fit them in your mouth past his second knuckle.
"good girl," he croons and gives his hard on a firm squeeze through his sweats, just a little something to relieve the painful pulse. your eyelashes flutter momentarily, blood rushing to your cheeks, and he can't help but push his fingers deeper.
you choke slightly, eyes squeezing shut at the sudden intrusion as you feel saliva pool in your mouth and dribble past the corner of your mouth.
"open your eyes," you can barely hear reo speak over your quiet choking. "look at me."
you force your eyes back open, vision blurry with tears as you try to catch eye-contact. tears pool at your lash line as finally, he retracts his fingers from your mouth and pulls his hand away entirely, satisfied.
you sputter, gasping for air, and feel reo's other hand rest on your cheek. he wipes your tears away with a thumb, cups your face in his palm gently and sighs.
"see- that's what other boys would do if they saw you like that," he soothes, voice warm as usual and it brings contrast to his words. "s'why you have to be careful, bunny. don't want anyone to be rough with you, don't you?"
you shake your head quickly, throat still burning and scratchy as you look up. he really does look almost worried, with his eyes soft and focused on you entirely - but it almost seems like there's a haze behind the lilac.
you don't dwell on it too much, 'cause there's already a finger rubbing against your slit again, and this time it slips right in. the sensation isn't entirely new to you - you've played with yourself before, after all - but reo's fingers are so much thicker and longer than yours, feel so rough, and seem to press against your sweet spot almost instantly. you moan sweetly, hips bucking against his hands involuntarily as his fingertip rubs against the front of your pussy. it tightens around his finger, makes him dip it even deeper.
"right there?" he asks breathily, watching as your face contorts with pleasure, and it's enough of an answer. your tummy spasms slightly as you suck in a breath, hips starting to grind against his hand. there's another finger prodding at your entrance, teasingly, before slipping right in next to the other. "wanna see if you can handle two."
there's a slight stretch and burn as you try to accommodate to the girth of reo's fingers, much wider than anything you've ever played with and it is giving you a small struggle. you whimper and shift your hips, hand moving to push at his wrist instinctively.
"can't," you moan out, swallowing thickly as reo gives you a look - almost disappointed, yet intrigued at the same time.
"you've never had anything other than your fingers playing with this little pussy, didn't you?" it comes out as a slight groan, and you turn your head to the side to avoid his gaze. even as you act so sheepish, the slick that coats reo's fingers tell him enough - you're enjoying this.
you're getting off on listening to your best friend talk so sweetly about your pussy, playing with your body how he pleases.
you gulp heavily as you feel his weight shift on the bed, one arm resting across your abdomen and pinning you down firmly. and then, you feel a hot breath fan across your wet cunt, throbbing and creaming for attention, before he takes a long lick up your clit.
your hands grab at reo's hair, fingers tightening to tug and it vibrates against your pussy as he groans. "fuck," you whimper, and he chuckles breathlessly.
"watch your mouth," he muses, humored, before wrapping his lips around your throbbing little clit.
your eyes roll backwards, head pushing into the pillows and you have to bite back a cry at the overwhelming pleasure that seems to hit you all at once. it makes your muscles tremble and head spin how reo seems to work the same exact spot with both his fingers, massaging and thrusting inside, and his tongue, messily and hungrily slurping away. your hips stutter, but don't lift off the bed whatsoever as he keeps them stuck to the mattress with his arm, whining against your heat.
"you can- you can tug," he breathes, purple eyes glancing up at you as he knows exactly what you'll do - give him a little puzzled look, as if to ask you sure, reo? - and moans as his gaze meets yours. you look entirely fucked out already, spit wet on your lips and face pink, eyes wide and needy. he wonders if he looks just as filthy right now, hips rutting into the sheets and soaking his sweats with pre-cum and with his face stuffed in your pussy, devouring you as if he was starved.
he just might be, after years of trying to control himself.
he feels your fingers give a sharp pull at his hair, then push his mouth right back against you until his nose nudges against your groomed mound. it starts to get hard to breathe, he realizes, but you taste just to sweet - almost like honey, thick and sticky on his tongue as he suckles and licks and nibbles, soft little hums and whines buzzing against your twitching pussy.
you feel your back nearly stick to the sheets, thighs trembling against his head as you feel the strange sensation creep up - your muscles tense up as reo's hand presses on your lower abdomen, firmly, a breathy sigh hot on your clit. your eyes widen slightly and you jolt,
"aah- stop- reo, stop," you babble, tongue heavy in your mouth and head hazy from pleasure, but you have to go. embarrassment is dense on your mind as you push at his head, breath picking up and hips bucking up involuntarily. "please, please reo, it feels - ngh- feels funny." you don't realize there's big, fat tears running down your temples now, clear streaks streaming down the heated skin as your voice cracks.
why isn't he stopping?
you choke back a sob, the pleasure white hot in your veins as he groans and pulls back just slightly, enough to speak, "fuck, cum for me. cum on my face, baby." he sounds desperate - looks just the same, too, as you glance at him and the way he works his fingers in and out of your tight heat, fluttering and tightening. big, needy eyes stare up at you, bangs held back by your hand as your fingers pull at the hair, and he lolls his tongue out, grinding it against your clit messily.
you throw your head back, eyes unfocused, as it hits you like a heavy rainfall. the pleasure comes in waves, muscles taut and shaking as your back arches and quiet little cries slip out of your mouth - almost like a chant, and nothing like the sounds all of the other girls made, reo realizes. you sound so, so much prettier. perfect and sweet as you grind against his hungry mouth, cream oozing onto his tongue and juices spilling on his chin. he nearly whimpers, hips rolling against the bed and it takes all of his self restraint not to cum in his pants, too, at the sight of you trembling in his grasp.
the pleasure leaves your limbs warm and fuzzy, a soft buzz in your ears as your climax slowly dies down - but you realize that reo doesn't let up, fingers now having dropped their pace, but tongue still flicking against your oversensitive heat. you whine, swallowing back tears and pulling his mouth away, tugging at the roots of violet hair.
"reo," you sound broken enough, he thinks, and so he gives your clit a last kiss, the smack sounding so obscene it makes you close your eyes in shame. he eases his fingers out of you and gives the inside of your thigh a little peck as well before sitting back on his heels, breathing heavy as he takes you in.
you struggle to catch your breath properly, hair sticking to wet cheeks as you swallow thickly and grab at the sheets - as if you wanted to tug them over your body, cover yourself from his stare and the realization that sits heavy on your mind. reo sighs, nearly dreamily, and sucks your juices right off his fingers as you watch - too exhausted to show any sign of shame.
"m'gonna have you ride my face next time, okay?" he breathes out, giving your hip a squeeze - and before you let his words settle in, you're already nodding along, a soft little whimper leaving your mouth in agreement. it makes his cock jump in his boxers, the way you're so compliant and don't seem to realize the weight of his words.
if only he had known you'd be so easy to convince, he would've made a move a long time ago already, reo thinks to himself as he pulls you up for a kiss. grabbing your wrist to push your hand behind the waistband of his boxers, he drinks up the little moans that slip out your mouth, needy and sweet, nearly enough to make his teeth rot.
reo is so content he's met you, even if it took him long years to realize that your innocence and purity are actually the very thing he needs and wants.
and yeah, you're still different than the other girls - but you're just as oblivious with the way you don't notice his phone propped up on the nightstand.

❛ ‧˚ IDLE TOWN — mikage reo.
notes ⨾ hurt / comfort, [ 1.6k wc ] i basically wrote this for practice but I'll post it bc i need feedback + my first attempt at actual angst so idk here have some reo angst i promise i'll make up for it with fluff later :P
Tumblr media
you are leaving, for good. and reo knows he cannot stop it. 
pause. rewind. he came back home three hours ago, everything was fine. or so he believed. he took note of your silence much quickly. you were talking, yes— but you were silent. he finds silence in your empty glances, less words and more hums for responses. you speak but your words are nothing more than incoherent blurbs of sound. you're silent when he asks you about your day, because you do not ask him the same.
he knows you well. too well to simply brush this of a result of exhaustion. the room he is in is cold, he winces because he does not find you in his arms and because that means you must be cold too. he knew to give you space, sometime to collect your thoughts as he does his.
but an hour or so has passed, reo wants to see you now. he can never always leave you to your thoughts for long lest you need a second voice to become the comforting reminder of not being alone. but if he's being honest, then this is more of a selfish act than a serving one. maybe more than you, he does not want to be left alone with his thoughts.
“hey,” a caffeinated sort of anxiety washes over him when he enters your shared bedroom. the air isn't awkward, but it is not comfortable either, “what're you up to?”
you are still silent, preferring a low and dismissive hum instead. he sits himself on the edge of the bed, hesitant as the way you'd approach a storm. he waits for eleven heartbeats— he knows because he can hear his heart— you don't say anything.
“talk to me, something's on your mind.” reo says. he feels your gaze scan him over, you are searching for something in him. that's the most of a response he's gotten out of you tonight. he hopes you find whatever answer you're looking for, an answer you've decided you won't find in his words. 
“i don't know reo, i just— i'm exhausted.” you're lying. he can tell, you don't sound exhausted. you sound defeated. he also knows you are not lying to him, but to yourself. but he does not know what to say, maybe— maybe you still need time. it's okay, he reminds himself. we're okay, it repeats in his mind.
“then let's just get to bed, ’kay?” he can taste the desperation in his voice, it lingers like a bitter aftertaste. why he feels so unsure, he does not know. all he knows is that he doesn't like this — whatever this is — it's hollowing him out from the inside. 
his hand instinctively comes to brush back the strands of hair behind your ear. he freezes when you recoil. “i— i'm gonna sleep in the guest bedroom tonight.” his heart stammers in his chest like your voice. you don't give him the luxury of a momentary pause, instead quickly standing up on your feet.
reo's just as quick. his hand envelopes your wrist, you wince a little from the harshness of his hold. “w-what? — no, you can't do that.” his voice is a little raised, long gone is the tenderness he always brings with himself. he's scared. he knows you are too. he looks at you, in hopes of a waver in your composure. you have been oddly calm this entire time, it settles uncomfortably in his stomach.
“i'm not asking you reo, i just need to be alone. just— just let me be.” there's a finality in your meek voice, reo winces at the biting tone.
but he's firm on his words, “this isn't fair, y/n. something's obviously bothering you and instead of talking to me like an adult, you're just giving me the fucking silent treatment? well, shit. i can't read your mind. talk to me— you always do.”
you have to look away, “i'm not doing this with you right now.” you wrestle your wrist out of his grip, walking out of the room with heavy steps that reo follows all too quickly— but you don't really walk into the guest bedroom as he'd feared. you stop. reo sucks in a deep, cold breath. 
“what do you want from me?” your voice unfurls in shades of hurt, exhaustion and defeat altogether. reo furrows his brows, his heart beginning to pick up its rhythm, “no, what do you want from me? what did i even do wrong?”
“where were you today, reo? what was your day like?”
your question takes him aback, confusion weaving through the lines on his forehead. “what — you already know that, i texted you i had plans. you read my message, you replied.”
he pauses when a bitter, short-lived laugh leaves your lips. “right, you still don't remember.” your voice feels as empty as your null expression.
“we had a date today, reo. the date you promised to make time for, the date which was an apology because you haven't been home lately. that date — you forgot in favor of hanging out with your friends.” you are breathless now. reo can so clearly see the tears collecting in your eyes, and he also knows you're trying to keep them from falling. he knows you too well, after all.
reo feels lost. his shoulders slack in defeat, his thoughts blur altogether trying to make sense of your words. a heavy, stinging lump claws at his throat. it scratches him from inside until his voice bleeds in the form of quick and staggered breaths, “why — why didn't you say anything?”
this is where the tears trail down your cheeks, reo feels the ache to wipe the damp trails they leave in their wake. but he wills himself against it, he can not. he's afraid you'll burn if he touches you and he's not really ready for that. “i waited — i thought you'd remember. i was waiting for you.”
you don't wipe your tears yourself. because reo has always done that for you. he regrets his prior hesitance, and reaches out his hand to caress the side of your face. you're kind with that. you don't step back, you let him pad his thumb across your skin. he's grateful. 
“i'm sorry,” he says. its heavy, but he doubts it carries much wait. “i'm sorry, i — i'm sorry. i'm such a fucking idiot. it just— ” he stammers, voice stuck in his throat. reo feels like he's choking on his words. he knows there's no way to undo the hurt, he knows you won't just forgive him with a few worded apologies. he knows he does not deserve it either. it took until your silence for him to finally hear you. it took until you decided to leave, for him to realize he would give up anything to make you stay.
“i don't want your sorry's reo, i'm tired, i — i want to leave.” a shaky exhale leaves you. next you're walking towards the main door instead of the guest bedroom. reo's feet are stuck to the ground. he swallows back the rising bile in his throat.
“no, wait, it — it's midnight, y/n, love, we still need to talk —”
“what's there to talk about now? what can you say besides you're sorry?”
you are leaving, for good. reo knows he cannot stop it. 
but still he finds his feet following your steps. he finds his hand grasping your in attempts to get you to just wait, just— just listen. he finds his knees strike the earth, and although he's scared, he looks up at you once more. he finds himself at a loss for words yet with enough urgency to say something — anything — that it scorches his lips. 
“please don't— please, i know i fucked up, i know.” he begins, and you're not so cruel as to walk away this time. “i know i can't say anything besides that i'm sorry, i'm so sorry i made you feel like you weren't important. i'm sorry i promised to do something about it and broke it. i'm so sorry i love you so much that i'm still too selfish to let you go—” you shiver with the slightest tremor in his voice, the crack in rushed breaths that's so very uncharacteristic of him. “— but stay. please stay, y/n. let me show you that you deserve better. please. i don't want to lose you, not like this.”
“reo, get up.” you breathe, voice still as shaky. reo's scared. he's scared to have said something wrong, scared that he pushed you even further way. scared that he has already lost you. but he gets on his feet back up. 
it takes a few uncounted heartbeats before you speak again, “you promised reo, after you'd barely been home the entire month. and i waited like an idiot— i love you, so much that i don't know what to do with this anymore.”
reo consumes you in his embrace. it is nothing firm or strong, but just something to keep you close. it's grounding. reo feels all your breaths as they come and go, “we can figure it out. we'll talk, about everything. like we always do. you said we make a good team right? we can — we can talk about it in the morning.”
reo is afraid you'll disappear if he lets you go now, and you're finally holding on to him as well.
“i'm exhausted reo,” you whisper this time. but you are holding on to him, with something akin to the sincerity and the hope of being held the same way. so he does. 
“i know, i love you. it's okay,” reo hums, he feels breathless. “we'll figure it out in the morning, yeah?”
it takes a weak nod from you to make his shoulders relax, all the worry lines of his forehead unwinding and as he rakes his fingers through your hair — he hopes it does the same for you. it has always calmed you down. he hopes that hasn't changed.
this is where he hooks an arm under your thighs, the other so gently wrapped over your shoulder as he lifts you up in one swift motion. you cling to him. reo is grateful. 
he knows you have much to talk about. but when you let your head fall to rest on his chest, when you tell him you like the sound of his heart, when you still say you love him as he lays you down on the bed, the warmth pooling the sheets as much as your eyes — he knows the two of you will be alright. 
you stay — and that's all reo cares about.

stars you only see during the day.

summary: reo mikage needs a date for his parties, and you need something to do during the summer. What could possibly go wrong when you both enter a contractual relationship?
notes: 11k words, fic, author's notes, fake dating, trying to capture goofy summer fun romcom vibes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Swanky parties like this are so not your style. 
Lavishly dressed guests buzz in little groups, sporting designer handbags and miles of silk that cost more than your entire house. Tropical fishes swim in tranquility through the glass tanks of the walls, which cast blue light over the white tablecloths and platters of prime cut roasts and elaborately crafted desserts dusted in gold dust.
Honestly, you wouldn’t normally have been allowed into a place like this; the security guards would have taken one look at your sneakers and chain store jeans and told you to go home. But you’re not here as a guest. No, your sister has hooked you up with a gig as a caterer, so you’re actually one of the invisible waitstaff in a stiff black vest and white collared shirt, drifting amongst the crowd, serving rich people their fancy little foods.
“It pays well,” your sister had pronounced, batting her eyelashes at you. “Come on. You’re always strapped for cash. I promise it’ll be worth it.”
“And if it’s so good, why aren’t you going?” you had asked her dryly. 
She wrinkled her nose. “I don’t have the time. Otherwise I’d be hustling with you. Come on, do it for me! It’ll be fun! The place will be nice, promise!” 
Nice is an understatement for how decadent the place is. If you were to break something here, you think your family would be in debt for the next seven generations over. But since you’re captive to your need for money, you try to skirt past the pricer decorations. 
Still. Your sister is right in that this is a simple, and more importantly, well-paying, gig. Get in, walk around aimlessly with a platter in your hand, and get out. That’s all you were looking forward to, really: the paycheck at the end of this. You vaguely recognize some of the guests– probably from the news or on social media, A-list celebrities and trust fund babies– but you don’t care enough to take a closer look.
It’s been a few hours into your shift, and your arm is starting to cramp from carrying around a silver plate for most of the evening. The little shrimp on your plate are dwindling, and you rotate around the room slowly one last time to tempt people to grab your food. Then, you can take a break and put up your feet, and maybe sneak a little bit of the fancy food to try yourself; after all, you heard that some of the ingredients were imported straight from Europe.
You pass by a pack of guests knotted together near a table, and one of them bumps into you with enough force to make you stumble, some youngish looking man in a white suit and slicked-back bleached hair. He barely spares you a glance. 
“Watch where you’re going or I’ll get you kicked out,” he snarls.
“Right. Sorry, sir,” you say blandly, fighting back the urge to strangle him and ask “who the hell do you think you are?” Your sister has warned you to stay out of trouble, after all.
“Don’t bother the waitstaff, Takei-san,” someone says just as Takei sneers, opening his mouth to berate you some more, probably. He looks the type. But Takei’s head swivels back around so fast it makes you dizzy. You crane your head, just in time to catch the owner of the voice: a boy with a flute of fizzy water in his hand. He’s cute, with uneven bangs and a dove gray suit, and probably around your age, if not a little older.
“I wouldn’t dream of it, Mikage-san,” Takei simpers. “Ah, but we have more important matters to discuss, don’t we? What do you think about meeting my sister? She’s lovely, and she’s around your age. Just say the word, and I can arrange a meeting!” 
Mikage? Is that the boy’s name? It’s familiar. You’ve seen it on social media a few times; maybe this boy is a lot more famous than you thought. He’s a corporate heir, if you remember correctly. Mikage catches your eye and inclines his head, as if to say you were free to go. 
“I would have to think about it, Takei-san,” Mikage replies, turning back to Takei. If there’s one thing you can pride yourself on, it’s how to read people, and there’s plenty to dissect from Mikage’s tense body posture. There’s a smile on his face, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. In fact, he looks a little bored, underneath that veneer of politeness. Bored, and strangely vacant, as if the uppercrust of Japan’s society weren’t more interesting than the blades of grass outside of his window.
Normally, you would shrug, go “that sucks for him,” and run back to the break room as soon as you could. The problems of fancy rich boys aren’t really your business. But it’s been a long night, and you’re a little antsy (your troublemaking instinct, as your sister calls it). That, and maybe you’ve watched too many romcoms and dramas with your sister recently, too, because he’s cute. And, well, you should at least try to help out the guy who helped you, right? Tic for tat, and all that, even if it was a small thing on his part.
But none of your justifications to yourself really matter, because you’re already sliding your way into the crowd until you’re at Mikage’s elbow, saying, “sir?”
He inclines his head at you without really looking at you. “Yes?”
“There’s someone looking for you,” you say blandly. “They were impatient. It seemed important.”
“Hm? Did they tell you their name?” Mikage asks.
“Didn’t quite catch it, but it’s urgent,” you stress.
Mikage’s eyes widen, just slightly, and you can see the puzzle pieces coming together in his head. He must have picked up on what you were doing, because he nods gravely, and says, “I should head over, then. It’s probably Yasuhiro-san. Can’t keep a board member waiting.”
“Ah, but Mikage-san–” Takei’s mouth is slightly slack, and he glares at you when you catch his eye. What did you even do to him? Is he mad that you’re taking Mikage’s attention off of him?
“I should go.” Mikage extracts himself from the crowd, who all groan in disappointment. As the two of you leave, you make sure to subtly dig the heel of your shoe onto Takei’s foot, who yelps.
“What the– Did you just step on– Hey! Stop!” 
But you’re speeding off with Mikage at your side, and you try not to grin when you imagine Takei’s red, angry face. 
Mikage snorts, but when you glance at him, he’s passed it off as a cough, turning his face into the crook of his elbow. “You’re a bit clumsy, aren’t you?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” you say primly, and this time, Mikage doesn’t hide his laugh. To keep up your ruse, you lead Mikage into a hallway, where rows of imported European impressionist art stretch along the walls, your footsteps sinking into the plush burgundy carpet.
“So… I have to be honest,” you say. “There isn’t someone asking for your presence. I made it up to get you out of there. Surprise!” You wave your hands.
Mikage crosses his arms. “So why did you do that, then?”
“You helped me, so I helped you,” you say simply. “Besides, you looked bored.”
In the darkness, Mikage is reduced to shadowy shapes, but you can still feel the force of his gaze, like a lighthouse cutting through the darkness. He’s appraising you, and it sends tingles down your spine.
“Huh.” That’s all Mikage says, and you wonder if you passed whatever mental evaluation he was doing.
 The platter is still in your hands, and there’s still a few shrimp left, so you grab one and shove it into your mouth. You chew, savoring the freshness, and the tangy sauce it’s coated in.
Wait. It’d be rude to just eat in front of someone, without even asking if they’re hungry. You offer Mikage the plate. “Want one?”
“S… sure,” he says, carefully plucking a shrimp between his thumb and forefinger, before placing it on his tongue. The two of you pass the platter back and forth between each other until it’s empty.
“That was good!” You stretch your arms over your head. “I wanted to try at least some of the food at this party before I went home. There’s nothing else really going for this place. No offense,” you add. 
“None taken. You’re… huh.”
“Weird? Bold?” you supplement. “I’ve heard it all.”
“No, I was going to say you’re interesting,” Mikage says quickly.
You roll your eyes. “Interesting? Like a dog?”
“I would say you remind me more of a hamster,” Mikage says. 
“A hamster? Really? What if I bit you right now?”
“I’m not sure you could do much to me.”
“I wouldn’t want to damage my teeth, anyways,” you quip. The noise of the party leaks into the hallway, and you glance back through the door. “I should get back. I don’t want to give anyone an excuse to dock my pay.”
Before you can move a step, Mikage holds out a hand. He takes a breath, as if coming to some sort of internal decision. “Wait. What if… I hired you for something else?”
“For… what?”
“What if I hired you to stand around and talk to me?” 
You take a step back. “Um… I’m a first year in high school, just so you know. I don’t want to do anything weird.”
“Wh– No!” Mikage says, his veneer of poise sliding right off and shattering onto the floor. “I didn’t mean it like that! I’m not asking you to– I just– I’m only a second year!” he adds.
“Takei did offer to introduce you to his sister back there,” you say wryly, jerking your thumb towards the party. “And, like, I don’t know much about your life, but if you’re desperate enough for company, there’s dating apps. Just… uh… hang in there.”
Mikage runs a hand along his face. “I’m not desperate. I’m the most popular guy in my class, just so you know.”
“Okay…”
“I wanted to ask if you would date me,” he says, “Fake date me. Because people like Takei keep trying to jump down my back and draw me into political marriages. We can draw up a contract to make it official,” he adds hastily. “I just need someone to come with me to parties like this as my partner.”
“And why would I do that?”
“Because you’re interesting,” he says simply. “Besides… you would get to eat as much shrimp as you want. Without having to sneak them off of plates.” 
“I don’t know,” you say coyly, looking down at your fingers. “I don’t really like doing boring things.”
“It won’t be boring.” Mikage takes a step towards you, confidence in his face, a hand on his chest. “I’ll ensure everyday is fun for you.” 
You can already imagine what your sister will say when you tell her what happened today. No doubt she and your older brother would both groan at your carelessness. What if this is some sort of prank, or fancy trick? Oh well! You’ll just have to take your chances. 
You stick out your hand. Mikage takes it without hesitation. “Okay, you’ve got yourself a deal. But if it’s boring, then I’m going to leave you, Mikage,” you warn. 
“Hah. You’ll never have a reason to,” Mikage says confidently. “But call me Reo.”
You raise an eyebrow. “We just met, and you want me to call you by your first name? Moving fast, are we?”
“I’m going to be your fake boyfriend,” Mikage says. “Don’t tell me you’re already getting cold feet.” 
“Not at all. You can call me by my first name too, Reo,” you emphasize. “I’m looking forward to working with you.” 
Reo smiles, squeezing your hand once before firmly shaking it. “Likewise, partner.” 
Well. This certainly isn’t what you expected to get up to when your sister offered you the job, and there are a thousand ways this could blow up in your face. What if Reo is actually a bad person, and tried to sell your organs? Or his mother threw money at you and told you to leave her son because you aren’t good enough for him, just like in every drama you’ve seen?  
But this is the most exhilarating opportunity you’ve been offered in a long while. Exciting experiences, and fun opportunities: you’ve always been the first to jump onto those. Besides, Reo is cute, and this deal will definitely be a good story to tell your friends about later. There’s no way this could go wrong.
You’re usually never up before 10am, but somehow, at 8am a few days after the party you worked at, you find yourself at a little cafe in Shibuya, blinking blearily in the pale light. Reo, sitting across from you, has a cup of coffee steaming at his elbow, and you privately curse his poise and his nice polo and slacks. How dare he look so put together, especially when you just threw on some clothes from your floor.
“So,” you say, propping your elbows on the table, your cheek pressed against your hand, “What was so urgent that you couldn’t wait for a more decent hour to call me?”
Reo raises an eyebrow. “This is a decent hour. But I wanted to discuss the terms of our contract.” 
You stare at him blankly. He snaps his fingers. “Remember? Our deal?”
“Right.” You yawn, and Reo pushes his cup of coffee towards you.
“I haven’t drank any of it yet,” he says. “Have some.”
“So no indirect kiss for me?” you tease, but take a tentative sip of the brew. You wrinkle your nose; it’s bitter and dark, and it stings your mouth as it goes down. “You didn’t put cream in this.”
“I like the way coffee tastes naturally. Besides, the coffee they brew here is through a special drip pour method, to allow the beans to retain maximum flavor…” You take another sip as Reo rambles, and shudder. Well, you were definitely more awake now.
“So, what is this about a contract?” you say. 
“I want us to establish some ground rules for our deal, just so we’re both clear on the expectations and procedures for what we’re about to undertake,” Reo begins. He slides a packet of paper across the table, the kind that’s made with cardstock, thick and creamy. It’s neatly formatted, but your eyes glaze at the professional tone and the dry language of the text.
“All right, hit me with it, rich boy,” you say, slouching back in your chair.
“Well, I wanted to establish a basic time frame for our operation, as well as some ground rules, and cover some of the various scenarios you might encounter–” You put up a hand, and Reo pauses. 
“Do you have a pen?” you say bluntly. 
Reo fishes out a fountain pen from his bag. “I do, but why do you–”
You flip over the packet to the blank backside, and write down a number one. “So! I think it’s really nice of you to get this entire thing prepared for us, but this is too much. We’re high schoolers, and your rules are 15 pages long. Why don’t we make this easier on ourselves?”
Reo purses his lips. “I guess. For the sake of fairness, it’s probably better if we come up with rules together.”
“Great! So, rule number one. We’re going to be fake dating until you stop needing a date to your parties. That’s probably going to be when summer ends, so that’s when our contract ends. Rule number two. I’ll go with you to all your fancy parties, but you have to help me with, like, etiquette and clothes and what to say. I’ll just be your eye candy. Which I absolutely excel at, by the way. Rule number three. I’ll go to as many parties as you want, but you need to give me at least two days’ warning in advance. I have my own life, you know.” You scribble as you talk, and Reo nods at each of your rules. When you pause, you look up to see Reo with furrowed eyebrows.
“Add another rule,” Reo says seriously. “No falling for each other.”
You burst out laughing, dropping the pen in surprise. A few early morning workers stare at you as they walk past, but you can’t bring yourself to stop. “Seriously? Do you think this is a drama?”
“It’s a necessary precaution,” he insists, but his ears are red. “I just want to make it absolutely clear: this is all for show.”
You snort, but move to jot down the rule anyways. “No offense, but you’re not my type at all. That’s not going to be an issue. You’re kinda full of yourself, huh?”
“I’m not! I’m just saying with my specs, it wouldn’t be weird if you–” Reo falters at your pointed stare. “Listen. I’m used to all sorts of people coming up to me. It doesn’t hurt to be careful, okay?”
“Maybe you’re scared of falling for me, Reo,” you say, leaning forward and batting your eyelashes at him. “I understand, though. I’m pretty cute.”
Reo purses his lips. “And no offense to you, but you’re also not my type at all. I prefer people who are more mature.”
You throw your hands up in mock offense. “Wow! Only five minutes since our fake relationship began, and you’re already hurting my feelings.”
“My apology, baby,” Reo says in a cloying tone. “How on earth shall I make it up to you?”
You shudder. “For starters, don’t call me baby ever again. Ick.”
“I don’t–” Reo begins indignantly, but you quickly scribble your signature under your list of rules, before thrusting the paper at him. “What?”
“Sign your name,” you say, “So it’s official. Isn’t that how you business types like to do things?”
“We’re minors. Our signatures don’t count. But if you insist,” Reo says, signing his name with an elegant scrawl.
“Perfect! Now that we’re officially dating, what do we do?” you say.
“What about a date? A practice one,” Reo says hastily. A pity, because now you can’t tease him about how enamored he is with you. “It’ll be easier to act like a couple at parties if we’re more familiar with each other.”
“All right. Come pick me up in two days, then. And at noon,” you add, “Because I don’t want to do an early morning date.”
“What about right now?” Reo protests.
You throw him a withering stare. “First, I’m not dressed for the part. Second, neither of us are prepared. And third, what did I just say about early morning dates? We need a bit of planning time, rich boy, because dates are serious business.”
Reo holds up his hands. “Okay, okay. I got it. I’ll run our plans with you by tomorrow, at the latest. Sounds good?”
You smile. “Great! Sounds like you’ve already got being a good boyfriend down pat. See you in two days, boyfriend.”
If there’s one thing Reo is, he’s meticulous. After you part ways, you exchange phone numbers, and true to his word, he blows up your phone with a detailed plan of your first date. He’s so overzealous in planning that you remind him it’s just a practice date, and that it’s better to keep things casual, rather than the boating-fancy restaurant-live musicians extravaganza he has planned.
Two days later, when you ascend from the subway steps into the sticky summer heat and walk a few blocks until the concrete turns to greenery, you find Reo waiting at a nearby park, sunglasses on his face and a wicker basket under his arm.
“Welcome,” Reo says, making a half-bow. “I hope you’re ready for the date of a lifetime.”
“I’m giving you three stars of five,” you say.
“Wh– We haven’t gone on it yet! How can you rate me that low?”
“Two out of five,” you say. “Just for talking back to me and questioning my review.”
“Let’s just hurry up and go,” Reo grumbles. 
The two of you glide alongside blossoming trees, white flowers perfuming the air, and cross a stone bridge stretched invitingly along a river. The water rushes cold and clear across gray stones, a weeping willow trailing its graceful limbs on the opposite bank.
When you reach a narrow glade, Reo gallantly unfurls a blanket and spreads it along the grass. From the wicker basket emerges a rainbow of sandwiches, freshly cut fruit slices, and a thermos of tea.
He pours you a cup, and you take a sip as Reo settles down with a sandwich.
“You went through a lot of trouble to set up this contractual date,” you say, picking up a slice of skewered mango. “What’s the point? Couldn’t you just hire someone else?”
“Do you think I could set up an ad, announcing to the world that the Mikage heir is looking for a partner?” he says dryly. “Any of the other people I could have asked run in my parents’ business circle, too, so it wouldn’t have been convenient for me. And I’m not risking my own social standing at school by asking a girl from there. That leaves you.”
You twirl the mango around. “What if I was, like, a bad person, though? And I leaked your personal information or something?”
“I ran a background check on you. You came up clean.”
“What? Hey! That’s not fair. I didn’t get to run one on you,” you protest.
“I’m someone in the public eye,” he says. “Anything you want to know about me, you can look up online.” 
To be fair, you had googled his name when you got home after your morning meeting, and scrolled through his various public social media accounts. Not that he needed to know that. Wait, maybe he already did, if he ran a background check on you. Did he have access to your internet history? Okay. Maybe it’s better to stop thinking about that before you drive yourself insane.
“But that’s not the same as getting to know you. The person Mikage Reo is in public, and the person he is in private are two different people. Tell me something juicy. Like, why don’t you just reject any proposals thrown your way instead of getting a fake partner?” you say.
Reo spreads his hands. “Social maneuvering. It’s better to ward off people from sending proposals to me in the first place than it is to reject each and every person who approaches me.”
“Sure. That makes sense. So… then… Haven’t you ever been in love before?”
“What sort of question is that?” he says.
“I’m trying to get to know you,” you declare, “And I’m curious. You can ask me a question like that, too, if you want.”
“I can answer your question. It’s fine.” Reo pours himself a cup of tea. “Being in love… I haven’t. Not yet. I’ve never been interested in romance. Why, have you?”
“I wouldn’t call it love, but I did date a boy back in middle school. Not because I really liked him, but because he thought I was cute, and I liked him well enough as a friend. Didn’t last too long, though. Your turn for a question,” you add.
Reo takes a sip. “Well, I was wondering… do you have any hobbies?”
“That’s a pretty simple question. But I like scrapbooking and volleyball. I like making memories, and I like sports.”
Reo leans forward, a keen interest in his eyes. “Do you like football, then? I run the school’s football club.”
“I’ve only ever played a little with my older brother. He’s the bigger fan,” you admit. “Do you want to play a game one day? I bet I could demolish you.”
“Hah. As if. I’d like to see you try.”
“Don’t regret it later,” you warn, and he laughs. “What do you even like about football?”
“I want to win the world cup,” he says simply. “It’s my dream.” His eyes are reflective, and there’s an edge of seriousness to his tone, an intensity he’s never had before.
You pick up a cucumber sandwich, taking an experimental bite. “When you do, give me an autograph. I can sell it for a million yen.”
“No jokes? I thought you would tell me it’s silly.”
“Well, it sounds like it’s important to you. I’m not going to make fun of something you care about,” you say, amused, shoving the rest of the sandwich into your mouth.
Reo scratches the back of his neck, though there’s a pleased, cat-like smile curling on his face. “Thanks. Do you have a dream?”
“I don’t know if it counts, but I just want to have fun. I want to see new places, and to meet new people, and to experience all sorts of fun things. Isn’t that enough?”
Reo picks up another sandwich, handing it to you, which you demolish in one bite. “I think it is,” he says. “It sounds like you.”
You lick the crumbs off your lips. Reo is a lot more… different, than you thought a corporate heir would be. But it’s nice that it’s easy being with him. Easy, and fun. “I should thank you, actually. This contract is pretty exciting. I’ve never done anything like it before. Thank you, Reo.”
“I don’t know if this is something you should thank me for. But you’re welcome. Thanks for agreeing to go along with me,” he says.
You smile at him, sunshine warm on your shoulders. “So, when’s the first party, boyfriend? I’m pretty excited for it already.”
“Straight to business, huh? Well, it’s in a few days. I’ll text you more details later, and I’ll come pick you up. But hey, before that…” Reo offers you his hand. “Do you want to take a walk? Weather’s nice.”
“Oh! Make sure the car you come in to pick me up is real fancy, okay? My family’s going to be home, and I want to rub it in my brother’s face,” you muse.
“That’s easy. Who do you think I am?”
You don’t hesitate as you slip your hand into his. His grip is soft but strong, and when he pulls you up, for a second, all you can see is Reo, outlined by the glow of the sun.
When the sleek black car pulls up to the entrance of your house a few days later, your older siblings are crowded around the window, peeking through the curtains to catch the first glimpse of your date. Your sister whistles, while your brother’s jaw drops.
“What is this?” he says. “What–”
“It’s my date,” you say smugly.
“Your date? Someone wants to go out with you?”
You smack him on the shoulder. “Yeah, unlike you!”
“Does he have money?” your sister asks. “Because good going. Make sure you milk him for what he’s worth.”
“I just– what the hell? No way you got a date before me. And not in that– that car!” your brother complains, rubbing his shoulder, but you’re already skipping out the door.
“Great work, boyfriend,” you say to Reo, blowing him a faux kiss. He’s waiting for you outside the car, already dressed in a navy blue suit.
Reo has an irritating little smirk on his face. “What can I say? My wonderful partner told me to bring a fancy car, and I just had a hard time choosing which one.”
He pulls open the side door for you with an exaggerated flourish, and you slide in. The seats are smooth leather, and the AC is cranked to a cool temperature. There’s more than enough room for a dozen other people, and there’s a mini fridge in the corner that, when you open, is stuffed full of drinks. The windows are tinted, but that doesn’t stop you from rolling it down to wave at your flabbergasted brother before you go, your sister the only one to wave back.
“What do you want me to do at the party?” you say, settling into the supple leather. 
“Just stick by my side,” Reo says. “And try not to offend anyone.”
“Done, and done,” you say, throwing him finger guns.
After half an hour, you and Reo chatting to pass the time, the limo pulls to a smooth stop at the end of a gravel-lined driveway. It’s lucky that Reo is the one who helped to choose and sent an outfit to you prior to the party, because all the other guests lounging in the gardens or spilling out the wide open doors are dressed to the nines. You don’t even want to think about the costs of some of those clothes. The inside of the venue is sparkling so brightly that you almost can’t make out any of the decorations; it’s just gold on top of gold on top of gold, but there is, luckily for you, a buffet table in the corner.
As soon as the two of you step foot through the door, you’re swarmed by a pack of guests with glittery smiles. Reo swiftly takes your elbow, pulling you closer to him, and you discretely loop your arm around his.
“Who is this, Mikage-san?” someone says. An actress, you’re sure. Is she eying you with… envy? Okay, that is weird. Wow. You’re pretty sure she’s been nominated for several different awards.
“They’re my date for the night,” he says smoothly.
“How sweet!” the actress says, and after giving you one more side-eye, turns her attention back to Reo.
The rest of the night goes mostly like that, actually. People are curious about you– watching you with a mix of jealousy, judgment and disdain in their eyes– before marking you off as a non-threat and turning back to Reo. It’s exhausting, frankly. How does he deal with it? You’re no chump when it comes to social situations, but this is on a different level. All the fake smiles, the pointed lines, the constant appraising. It’s like being under an endless spotlight; everyone is waiting for you to slip up, just once, to tear you down.
When you glance at Reo, his eyes are distant again, just like they were at that first party. It’s not the Reo you’ve come to know, the Reo who teased you at the picnic and talked about his dreams.
“Cheer up, boyfriend,” you whisper in his ear, resting your hands on his shoulder to speak solely to him. “I think they’re serving shrimp tonight.”
“Oh, your favorite. This time, you don’t need to hide in a hallway to eat them,” Reo whispers back, the ice in his face cracking to reveal a genuine smile. “Let’s go get some.”
After waving off his admirers, the two of you head to the buffet, where you immediately pick up a plate and begin piling up food. Reo wanders off to grab the two of you some drinks.
“Hah? It’s you. They really just let anyone in,” you hear a sneer when you’re halfway through picking up a little chocolate pastry. You glance up, to see a man with slicked back, bleached hair glowering at you, disturbing your little food paradise. Hm? He looks somewhat familiar.
“Who’re you?” you ask, plopping the first pastry on your plate, and grabbing a second pastry just to be safe. Maybe Reo will want one.
“You really don’t remember?” he hisses.
“Huh?”
“You stepped on my foot at a party!” he whispers furiously. 
“You were being rude,” you say tartly. That’s enough food. You try to step past him, but Takei jostles you with his shoulder, forcing you back in front of him. 
“You were just a server. How the hell did you get in here?”
What the hell? Did Takei think he’s all that, with his self-satisfied smirk and crossed arms?
“I’m on a date, actually,” you say pleasantly. “I was invited here.”
“Hah? Who would be crazy enough to invite you? If you’re lying, then I’m going to get you kicked out of here, just you–”
“Hi, Reo!” you say loudly, cutting Takei off, waving at Reo, who, with perfect timing, has shown up with two sparkling peach-colored drinks in hand.
“Hm? Takei-san, when did you get here?” Reo says.
“Ah– Mikage-san–” Takei’s face pales as he looks from you to Reo, and back to you. “Is… is this person… your date…?”
“Yes,” Reo says, wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you close. 
You bat your eyelashes at Takei, who looks like he wants to melt into the floor. For good measure, you turn to Reo with a fake little pout. “Reo, I think Takei-san was just saying something about only someone crazy would invite me here. How funny, don’t you think?”
“Very funny,” Reo says coolly. “But I think it’d be best not to make jokes like that about my date, don’t you think, Takei-san?”
“Right– of course– my apologies, Mikage-san,” Takei stammers. “I, ah, I would never think of… I won’t do it again.”
You pluck one of the pastries off your plate and offer it to Takei, who takes it with a twitching eye. “Enjoy the party, Takei-san,” you say in a syrupy sweet voice, watching as Takei stumbles off.
As soon as he’s out of earshot, you elbow Reo. “Nicely done, boyfriend,” you say.
“Takei has always been like that, but you shouldn’t have to put up with it,” Reo says. “Did he bother you?”
“Not too much!”
“I see.” Reo hands you a drink, but there’s a tiny frown twisting at the corners of his mouth as he watches Takei go.
There’s no more incidents after that, thankfully, but there’s a pensive look on Reo’s face that he can’t quite wipe off. What is he thinking? Should you ask? It’s not until the limo pulls up that Reo finally speaks to you.
“I’m sorry Takei was rude to you,” he says.
“It’s okay! It’s not your fault. Unless… you hired him to get on my nerves?” you tease, gravel crunching underfoot.
Reo looks uncharacteristically chagrined as he helps you into the car. “Why would I do that? Still, I put you in that situation, so… what can I do for you as an apology?”
You pretend to purse your lips in thought, tapping your finger against your chin. It’s cute how seriously he takes everything. “Well, Reo, have you ever heard of a little thing called grocery shopping?”
His eyebrows float upwards. “I’m not that out of touch. I do know what grocery shopping is. Do you think I was raised in an ivory tower?”
You grin. “Oh, we’ll see about that, Reo. Come pick me up on Saturday. 9am. Be sure to dress casually.”
Just as promised, Reo shows up outside your house at 9am sharp, dressed in a casual button up rolled up to his elbows and pressed slacks. He’s even smart enough to replace the usual limo with a more middle-class car, though it’s as sleek and polished as if it was bought fresh off the lot… which, now that you’re thinking about it, maybe it was. 
You snort as you size Reo up, flicking a glance up and down. You’re dressed much more casually, in shorts and flip-flops, and the tote bag you always bring to hold your groceries. “Slacks, Reo? Really?”
He holds up his hands in defense, a golden watch gleaming on his wrist. “What? You said dress casual. So I did.”
You roll your eyes, and when Reo opens the car door for you, you shut it. “That’s like business casual at best. You don’t have jeans? Sweats? You look like you’re taking a break from an office job.”
“Hey. I can’t help it if my standards are higher than other people.” Reo puts his hands in his pockets as you stride confidently down the pavement, and he falls into step beside you. “What are you doing?”
“Taking you grocery shopping,” you say expertly.
“... And you don’t want to drive there?”
“Most people do not drive the car to get groceries, rich boy. There’s a little thing called public transportation, you know. You’re going to learn to do it the old-fashioned pedestrian way.”
“Rich boy…” he mutters. “Can’t you just call me by my name? We are technically dating, you know?”
You stick your tongue out at him. “Exactly. We’re technically dating, so I’m just giving you an affectionate nickname.”
At this, he laughs ruefully. “Affectionate, huh?”
Maybe you’ve been a little too mean to him. You are fond of Reo, even if he makes it a little too easy to tease him. At the next opportunity, you casually loop your arm around his. Reo falters, but doesn’t break step, before pulling you closer. He smells pleasant, a warm citrusy scent, and he’s careful to match his pace to yours so neither of you pull too far ahead or behind. 
Without turning to him, you say, “I am affectionate, you know. I know how to spoil my boyfriend.”
“Really, now? Looks like I lucked out by asking you out.” There’s a genuine warmth in Reo’s voice that spills a sunset in your chest. It’s almost like he really likes you, and you’re really dating— but the contract. Don’t forget. You can’t let yourself get too carried away. This is a business deal, nothing more. Also, he would be so obnoxious if he knew how much his words affected you, considering all the crap you said about him not being your type. Still, the traitorous glow in your heart doesn’t go away, no matter how much you try to clamp down and extinguish it.
The market is surprisingly crowded when the two of you arrive. You pick up a basket as Reo stands at the entrance, drinking in the rows of cardboard boxes and tin containers and fresh produce, the housewives strolling down the aisles with children in their carts, the scuffed floor and the gleaming lights.
“We don’t have all day,” you tease. “Come on, Reo. Are you scared?”
“I’m not. It’s just… different,” he says. His eyes are still roaming the store, and you loop your arm around his again. Reo lets you pull him along without stumbling a step.
“It’s better to experience it in person,” you affirm, dragging him to the vegetables. “Help me pick some out.”
Reo’s hands hover a row of brown yams, dirt still clinging to their fuzzy roots. He picks one up for you, and you place a hand on his wrist. “What? Is it not good enough?” he asks.
“You need to put them in a plastic bag first,” you say, pointing to a dispenser roll at the end of the aisle. “You can’t just put the vegetables in the basket!”
Reo sighs in a long suffering way, but leaves and returns with a plastic bag, which you shake open and he drops several yams in, after careful consideration of their size and form.
“Good job, Reo,” you cheer. 
“What can I say? I’m a natural,” he says smugly, and you bump him with your hip.
Reo follows you around the grocery store, shadowing your steps like a baby chick. You choose several more vegetables, before moving to the meat aisle and examining the frozen, plastic wrapped cuts. Reo peers over your shoulder as you point at the different cuts of meat, so close that you can feel his warmth despite the chill of the coolers, his breath brushing your cheek every time he talks.
“Which one do you want?” you ask. Normally, you wouldn’t find his closeness a big deal. You’re used to skinship with your friends and family, and Reo is your boyfriend, albeit in name only. But something about his presence makes you feel hyper-aware of his every move. Not that you could ever let him know that.
“What do you think is best?” he muses.
“You can choose,” you say.
“What about that one?” Reo points to a hunk of pork, and you drop it into your basket. 
“Sounds good,” you say, quickly moving away from the frozen meat, but the memory of Reo’s warmth isn’t as easy to shake off.
You skim through the aisles of dry goods, picking up items that you remember were running low in your kitchen pantry. Reo follows, and he pauses in front of a row of glass bottles.
“There are so many different brands of soy sauce,” he says. “The chef usually just gets the highest quality brand.”
“Show-off,” you say. 
“Hey! I’ll send you some, too!”
It’s not until you’re in front of the snacks that you stop, and spread your arms, as if presenting the rarest of delicacies. “All right, Reo. In exchange for your cooperation for today, you can choose one snack.”
“One snack,” he repeats.
“Yup! That’s what my mom used to say when we went grocery shopping. So I’m extending the honor to you. I’ll pay for anything you choose,” you emphasize. “So choose wisely!”
Reo’s hand skims over the row of snack boxes. “Which one would you recommend?”
“The chocolate mushrooms,” you say immediately. “I got them all the time as a kid, and my sister and I used to fight over who got to eat them, since our mom wouldn’t buy more than one box.”
Reo neatly slides out a yellow box with dancing chocolate mushrooms. “Then this is the one I want.”
“Are you sure?”
“My partner recommended them,” he says primly. “Why not?”
It’s only until you’ve paid for everything, stringing plastic bags alongside your arms (Reo valiantly offers to take a few after failing to persuade you to let him pay for the groceries with his card), that you can slide out Reo’s snack and proffer it to him.
“Thank you, my lovely assistant,” you say, “For braving the perils of the grocery store for me.”
“It was fun. I’ll come with you again, if you want.” He rips open the box, then offers it to you.
“What are you doing?”
“Take some.”
“But it’s your reward,” you protest.
Reo snorts, then shakes out a single chocolate mushroom onto his palm, pinching the biscuit stem between his forefinger and thumb, holding it in front of your mouth. “It’s my reward, so I can do whatever I want with it. And I want to give some to you.”
Without hesitation, you open your mouth, and Reo throws the mushroom in. A familiar chocolatey flavor spreads inside your mouth. Somehow, it tastes sweeter than it usually does.
Over the next few weeks, you and Reo settle into a comfortable rhythm. He comes to pick you up every evening, though your brother still has a habit of pressing his face to the living room window to ogle Reo’s various cars. Most of the time, your job at parties is just standing by Reo’s side, occasionally intercepting when someone asks him an uncomfortable question and pulling him away. People tend to ignore you, too, treating you as Reo’s tagalong– which, to be fair, you are. Still, any insults are soothed over by the delicious food you pile up high on your plate, though Reo will steal a bite or two if you’re not careful, despite you pestering him to grab his own plate.
Sometimes, you and Reo exchange glances out of the corner of your eye when someone says something particularly weird. It’s startling how fast you’ve learned to read him and pick up on every little change in his expression. He’s emotional and expressive, and though he doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve, his moods are still easy to read. He’s a little petty, sometimes, and he holds an assured view of his own success. But he’s easy to tease. You like him, a lot more than you want to admit.
However, one particular party in August shatters the routine you and Reo have set.
For one, this party is held in a mansion, a multitiered decadent cake of a building, with famous paintings and expensive statues dripping from every corner. Hell, the guest list is more famous than you’re used to: celebrity actors and prestigious families from old money, and bodyguards hovering at every angle. Even you can feel the oppressive atmosphere, as much as you try to joke it away.
“Be right back,” Reo says, sighing. He flicks his head at an old man trying to catch his gaze. “One of my father’s board associates.”
“Make sure to bring me a plate of food,” you tease.
“Right. Otherwise, you might go so hungry you’ll start nibbling on me.”
You glower at him, and Reo sticks out his tongue at you, before a professional expression rolls down his face, like a shutter slamming closed.
You don’t have much time to spend alone, though. Because just as Reo steps away, a couple draws closer to you, clad with matching crimson jewelry, and with a posture so uptight and rigid you wonder if they would topple to the floor if someone were to bump into them. It’s uncanny timing, as if they were waiting for Reo to leave, but you smile politely.
Neither attempt to smile back at you. The couple’s eyes gleam like the sheen of a shark’s. Ah. They’re looking for trouble. There’s nothing to protect you from their sharp toothed smiles and narrowed gazes. Reo has vanished out of sight, and no one else seems particularly interested in your predicament. 
“So, you’re Mikage-san’s date?” the woman asks politely. “How… quaint.”
“Yes,” the man butts in. “He rarely brings anyone to dinner with him, in all the time we’ve known him, and his parents.”
“My endless charm must have captivated him,” you joke, but the couple only raises their eyebrows.
“Hm. Well, it’s just strange that he would take a liking to… you,” the woman sniffs. “What family are you from?”
“I… My family? Well, I don’t think you would have heard of them.”
“I see,” the man says, with enough disdain that it shreds your bravado to pieces. “I’m not surprised you approached Mikage-san, then. Flies are always attracted to honey, eh? What I’m curious about is how on earth you managed to sink your hooks into him.”
“My hooks?” you say. “Well, no hooks were involved. We just hit it off, and–”
“No need to lie,” the woman intones. “It’s quite unbecoming, though I understand that people of your class can’t help themselves. No manners. No grace. To think Mikage-san would pass up an engagement with our child to chase after… you.”
“Ma’am, I think there must be some kind of mistake,” you begin, but then falter. They were still watching you with keen interest, and your chest tightens. They want you to slip up so they could twist whatever you say and humiliate you, like cats toying with a mouse. 
More than that, whatever you say could be used against Reo. What was their relationship with him? It sounds like they’ve known him for a long time. Were they people he couldn’t risk offending? These people aren’t like Takei, a bumbling man trying to suck up to people wealthier than him. You could snark back, consequences be damned, but what if that hurt Reo somehow?
“What mistake are we making?” the woman prompts. “Do tell me.”
You select your words delicately, like you’re stringing pearls along a necklace. “Mikage Reo is a wonderful person. He’s a partner far better than I deserve, and I know this. And he’s cleverer than you give him credit for. I don’t think he would fall for cheap tricks or flirtations. No matter who I am, or what you think of me, I would like it if you didn’t imply that Mikage Reo is any less than what he is.”
The couple pales suddenly. Did your speech have such an effect on them? But a hand lands on your shoulder, and Reo’s voice echoes from behind you. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything, but I need to discuss something with my date.”
“Of course, Mikage-san,” the man stammers, all of his previous aggression gone. “By all means.”
There’s an uncharacteristically tight set to Reo’s jaw as he guides you to a balcony, arm pressed protectively around your waist. It’s not until there’s a layer of glass doors and gauzy curtains between you two and the rest of the party that he whirls around, eyes turbulent. His arm hasn’t moved an inch from your side.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” he grits out. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
You shrug your shoulders. “Oh, you know. I love when people are rude to me.”
“Stop joking around,” Reo says softly. “I’m serious, okay? You just– You could have said something! You’re my date. No one would… I could have said something. If you wanted me to.”
You let out a long sigh. Reo’s arm is still wrapped around your waist, and you impatiently shrug it off. Reo stares at the spot where his arm had once rested, as if not being able to touch you is the worst thing in the world. The fact that he’s sad for your sake– for you, his partner, his fake partner– makes you upset in ways you can’t begin to articulate. It was fine before. It was fun before, to mess around, to play in a world that isn’t really yours. Whatever you have isn’t real, so why does he act like it is? You even promised not to fall for each other. He was the one who suggested that clause.
“Are they people I can afford to offend?” you say tartly. “What sort of relationship do you have with them?”
“I would have covered anything you did–” Reo begins, but you shake your head.
“That isn’t the question. Are they people I could offend to afford? Are they people you need a good relationship with?”
Reo turns his head, and you have your answer. 
“I’m not playing the same game as you, Reo,” you say. “This is your world. I’m just a regular person, and I don’t have family or connections or wealth to protect me. All I have is you, and conversely, anything I do can be reflected back on you. If I act out, then they would use me as an excuse to talk badly about you. I didn’t… want that.”
“So it was because of me?” Reo whispers. “ That you had put up with all of that?”
“I didn’t do it just for you,” you say hastily, “So don’t feel bad, okay? I was also looking out for myself, too. Come on, Reo, don’t make that face–” But before you can crack a joke to lighten the atmosphere, Reo pulls you into his arms.
For a few seconds, all you’re aware of is his cologne, some sort of calm, gentle fragrance, and his arms pressed tightly around you, as if he could shelter you from the world by pulling you as close to his body as he could. His hands, resting assuredly on your back. His chin, dipping into the crook of your shoulder. “Wh– What are you trying to pull, Reo?” you squeak, all witty comebacks and jokes fleeing from your head at his touch.
Reo pulls back, just enough so you can see his face, but his hands are still on your shoulders. And– Reo, confident, clever, level-headed Reo– doesn’t look like a self-assured CEO heir or your usual partner in crime. He looks exhausted. Sad. In a way that someone as beautiful as Reo should never look. “I’m sorry,” he says quietly. 
“Don’t apologize,” you say gently. You lightly tap his chest with your fist. “Come on. You didn’t do anything wrong. You weren’t the one who insulted me, right?”
“No, I am in the wrong,” Reo says, and before you can move your hand away, Reo cups his hand over your fist, keeping it trapped against his chest. “I thought I could protect you, but that wasn’t what happened. You were the one protecting me.”
“Don’t be so self-deprecating. You’ve helped me a lot,” you scold. “Mikage Reo, we’re partners.”
“Right. Right, partners. We’re partners.” His lips curve into a smile, like the first rays of dawn breaking over the horizon. Reo is so unfairly beautiful, and why does he look especially beautiful when he’s looking at you? 
This is dangerous territory. The world is shifting beneath your feet, and you don’t know if you’ll like where you’ll end up when it stops moving. You open your mouth and hastily add, “Because of the contract, you know? We made a promise.” 
“The contract. Off course. We did make an agreement,” Reo says, but the warmth in his smile has burnt out, and no longer reaches his eyes.
“Right.” You shiver, and without a word, Reo shrugs off his suit jacket and drapes it across your shoulders. “Reo, you don’t have to…”
“It’s chilly during the summer,” Reo says simply. “I can’t have my… partner getting a cold. Let’s just call it a night.”
You crumple the silky fabric of his suit. It’s still warm from Reo’s body heat. “But the party–”
“Forget about it. You’ve already done your part. Just get some rest, okay? I’ll send you home.”
Reo ushers you through the party, warding off guests with a perfectly placed “my partner isn’t feeling well” and a pleasant smile– his business smile, nothing like the ones he shows you– and then you’re in Reo’s limousine. The two of you are silent on the way back. The streetlight flashes stripes of golden light across his face, but you still can’t tell what he’s thinking. For your part, outside of these quick glances at Reo, you stare out the window, at the lights of the city smearing across the glass.
When you stop by your house, it’s Reo who runs over to hold open your door and to offer you his hand as you step out. His hand lingers for a second longer than it has to before he pulls away.
“Have a good night,” Reo says.
“You, too. Wait, don’t you need your jacket back?” you ask, as Reo turns to go.
“No. You look nice in it. Just give it back to me next time.”
You open your mouth to make a joke about footing the bill, and how you don’t think you could afford the cleaning fees for his name brand clothing– but something in Reo’s gaze makes you bite your tongue. Instead, you wave. The last glance you have of Reo is of his silhouette, leaning against the car door, carefully watching you enter your house before he gets into his car and drives away.
For the next week, you keep staring at your phone, waiting for it to buzz. But there’s nothing but radio silence from Reo.
You’ve never felt more restless. Why hasn’t he called you? What do you do? Should you contact him first? Was he mad at you? He was definitely mad at you. You hurt him somehow, with your big mouth. But what were you to each other, really? Strangers? Not really. Friends, maybe. A couple? Definitely not. Somehow, your relationship has slipped out of the neat boundaries you’ve set at the beginning of the summer. It’s uncontainable, something formless and vague, neat labels sliding neatly off of it. 
This was supposed to be a relationship of convenience, just a summer fling at most. Two strangers, helping each other out. There was a clear expiration date. Did you have any right to push him? To call him? To mend this? 
You just wanted to have fun. Fun wasn’t supposed to come back and bite you in the ass like this. Fun wasn’t supposed to lead to either of you getting hurt. Fun wasn’t supposed to be Reo looking at you like that, like he… cared about you, more than he had to. It was supposed to be easy. Why wasn’t it easy?
He was the one who said that you weren’t his type. To be fair, he wasn’t really your type either. He wasn’t, but… his smile. His teasing words. His hug, tight and desperate, as if he never wanted to let you go. You said you weren’t going to fall for each other. You weren’t supposed to. You aren’t supposed to like him, not in this way. It was even in the stupid contract.
You pace around the living room, thoughts spiraling unendingly in your head, wearing a hole in the carpet as your siblings stare at you, unimpressed. 
“Can you stop? I’m getting dizzy,” your brother complains.
Your sister slaps him on the arm. “Stop it. Their boy toy ghosted them, so now they’re sad. Let them mourn.”
“Eh? How’s that my business? Just call him, dork,” your brother commands. “Or show up at his house with flowers or something. Just stop moping.”
“You are so tactless. What the hell is–”
You skirt out of the living room, your siblings’ voices trailing behind you as they bicker. It’s not as if Reo needs to text you. It’s not a big deal. He could just be busy. It’s not as if you’re really his partner or something. You’re just– some person he hired for the summer. That’s all your relationship is. You can’t get disappointed now, not when you drew the line in the sand first.
You sigh, falling into a crouch, staring morosely at your phone screen– before it lights up with an incoming call, and you press answer so fast there’s no time for the ringtone to go off.
“Reo?” you breathe. 
“Hi.”
“I thought you were dead! Why didn’t you call me? Or text? I mean, I know you’re busy as a corporate heir, but–”
“I’m sorry,” he says softly. “Are you free right now?”
“Yes? Why?”
“Can you come outside?”
“Uh, yeah. But why didn’t you just text me if you were coming to visit?”
“I wanted to hear your voice.” A pause. “Just forget I said that, okay? See you soon.”
Your heart pounds as you stare at the disconnected call, before you dash up the stairs to check your appearance in the mirror and maybe change to a cuter outfit. A few seconds later, you’re out the door, shoes still half on, and sprinting right into Reo, his car pulled right up to the curb.
“What’s up? Is there a party you want to talk about?” you say, breathless.
Reo opens his mouth, closes it, and then fumbles for the handle of the car door. “Do you want to go somewhere else?” he says, avoiding your eyes.
“Sure,” you say easily. You can sense more than see your brother and sister pressing nosily against the window. No doubt they’d pester you about what was going on when you got home.
The car ride is tense. Reo doesn’t talk to you, and instead stares outside the window the whole time. Is he steeling himself up for something? He glances at you occasionally, then glances away. You circle the same block twice before you impatiently ask the driver to simply drop you off at a random street. 
The heat is like a heavy blanket over the city, the perfect embodiment of summer. Somehow, you end up in a nice little plaza. There’s a fountain gurgling behind you, and children playing in the shade under the trees. People stream by, and it’s only you and Reo who are frozen in place.
“What is it that you called me for?” you say. 
“What?”
“You have something to say, right?”
Reo looks uneasily out at the sea of people under the blistering sun. “Let’s end our contract,” he says quietly.
You must have misheard. The heat is warping the air in front of your eyes. “Why? There’s still a few weeks left, right?”
“I’m terminating it early.”
“You can’t decide that on your own,” you say indignantly, but your hands are clammy. Your voice comes out reedy and thin, even to your own ears. 
“It was going to end eventually. Ending it a few weeks early is no big deal,” he says curtly.
“Why now, though? Is it because of what happened at the last party?” you break in. “That’s no big deal. I can handle people like that.”
“You shouldn’t have to,” he snaps.
“Huh?”
Reo runs a hand through his hair. “You shouldn’t have to put up with people like that.”
“I don’t care.”
“I do,” he says. “I don’t like– I don’t like seeing you hurt.”
“But–!”
“And you’re just doing this for fun, right? It’s not like you have to go with me. If it stops being fun… if it starts making more trouble for you than what it’s worth… you should just leave. It’s like you said,” he says. “This is a contractual relationship.”
What can you say? You and Reo are just… what, exactly? Strangers in a business relationship? Friends, who only came together out of a twisted coincidence? He wasn’t your real boyfriend. You were just acting in a play, and at some point, the curtains had to fall.
“I won’t bother you with something like this again. Just… consider our agreement over, okay? You don’t have to pretend to be my partner anymore.”
He turns, and overwhelming desperation seizes you. If you let him go now, something will change forever, and you’ll never see him again. You’re certain of it. Reo is doing this out of consideration for you. It’s a kindness on his part, but you hate it. You hate it so much you can barely breathe. 
“Wait!” He stops. All you can see is his back. What can you say? What sort of joke, or clever remark? What easy thing can repair your relationship? Nothing comes to mind. There’s nothing left, nothing but the truth.  “I… I like being with you, Reo. I know I said I want to do whatever is fun, but… the most fun I’ve ever had is by your side. So don’t just… don’t just say it’s over. Was it not fun for you?”
You take a step closer towards him. He doesn’t back away. Another step. All you can hear is the gurgling of the fountain now, and all you can see is Reo. Reo, as beautiful as the sun.
His ears are red. Reo finally turns towards you, averting his gaze from yours, his hand covering his mouth.  “Of course I like being with you. I just can’t be your fake boyfriend. I can’t do that anymore. I’ve already broken the contract. I… About you, I…”
Call it fate, or a coincidence. But at that moment, a passerby bumps into you, causing you to stumble. You yelp, your knees hitting the edge of the fountain, and Reo, alarmed, tries to grab you– you only manage to grasp his arm before you tumble over. Reo goes down with you. A wave of water splashes over the fountain as you flail, you and Reo fumbling for purchase. The two of you end up more soaked with every attempt to straighten yourselves, and it’s all just so ridiculous. 
Laughter bubbles up out of you, and you can’t stop, even though everyone is staring at the two of you. You’re drenched, water streaming down your face, dripping from your clothes. Maybe this is what your hoodie feels like when you run it through the washing machine.
Reo lies beneath you in a pool of fountain water, your arms on either side of his torso. You’re sheltered in the circle of his open legs. His hair is plastered to his face, his expensive cotton shirt clinging to his body, and you carefully tuck a strand of hair behind his ear, but it’s all in vain.
“I can’t believe this,” you snicker. “Imagine the headlines. Mikage heir, found diving in a Tokyo fountain!”
“Oh, shut it,” he mutters, but you only laugh harder.
Suddenly, his hand cups your face, a tentative gesture. His thumb is so close to your lips. If he moves an inch, he’d brush them. Your laugh quiets. “What’s wrong, Reo?” you say, but your heart is pounding like a flock of birds lifting up in flight.
“You’re beautiful,” he says simply, as if it’s the only truth in the world. “Tell me if you don’t want this.” He’s face to face with you now, and you’re acutely aware of the way his gaze lingers on your lips. “Tell me if you don’t want me. Push me away right now.”
Oh, to hell with it. You lean forward and crash your lips onto his, urgently gripping his face with both your hands. It’s a terrible first kiss. There’s the taste of rusty water, and he’s slack at first, awkward, as you try to move against his lips. But then Reo circles his arms around your waist and pulls you closer, and now he’s kissing you back. He breaks apart only to connect again, desperate as if this is his one and only chance. Like stars colliding, all you can think of is this. Of him. Of the summer heat, lingering even when you part.
“Reo. I like you,” you say, simply. “I want to date you. For real, this time. No contracts, or anything. Even though I’m not your type, apparently.”
He rests his forehead against yours. “Forget about my type, or the contract. I don’t care anymore. I like you, too. I’ve liked you for a while now.”
“If you liked me, then why did you ignore me for a week?” you say indignantly.
“I was… I was nervous, okay? I mean, you shouldn’t have said our relationship was just a contract! I thought you didn’t like me!”
“Sorry, sorry. Both of us messed up, huh?” you ask. “Is there any way I can make it up to you?”
“Yeah, I can think of a few ways,” Reo mumbles.
He leans forward to kiss you again, and– “Hey! What are you kids doing in that fountain?! That’s public property!” A policeman yells.
Oh, shit. You totally forgot you were still in public, in the middle of a fountain. But there’s no time to think. Reo grabs your hand, and the two of you scramble up, splashing water everywhere as you jump out of the fountain and run down the streets. Everyone is staring at you, but who cares? Summer is almost over, and you deserve to have some fun with your boyfriend.

I couldn't contain myself, I had to write something for Reo. He's been plaguing me.
Nagi's stepsis! Reader x Reo (kinda enemies to lovers sort of)
Wordcount: 1k-ish
TW: Dubcon (Reo is a perv and a little selfish and a lot impulsive), explicit scenes and language, all characters over 21+, this wasn't rushed but written pretty quick cause my brain was working for once. Hope everyone enjoys 💕 likes, reblogs, and comments always appreciated.
Tumblr media
Reo always acted like he hated you, couldn't stand that you were even on the planet, despite being the one to insist on staying at Nagi's place. Where he knew you would be. Nagi's pretty stepsister who, Reo claims, is the bane of his existence; always arguing with him and being pouty like the spoiled brat you were.Nagi had explained to him on the ride over that you were just staying with him for a bit as you finished up the last semester of university before you moved into an apartment with one of your friends; But how was he supposed to keep up the facade and act like he wanted nothing to do with you when you were flouncing around his best friends house every time he showed up, with your glossy lips and gorgeous eyes that begged him to fuck your throat till tears were spilling from them. He'd never admit it to anyone but his favorite piece of material in his spank bank was a picture of you at your birthday dinner last month, wearing the tight houndstooth pattern skirt he had bought for you and and looking absolutely gorgeous in it. Had he handed you the gift bag and barely uttered a happy birthday before heading off to the gym with Nagi? sure but it didn't mean he liked you. Just... begrudgingly tolerated you. Despite stroking his cock till it was nearly raw every night to thought of fucking you full of his cum and make you his girl.
○●○●
Reo had been trying and failing for the last hour to concentrate on the game him and Nagi were playing online with Yoichi and Hayoma; but the only thing in his mind was you and that whiney voice of yours. Bratty. Pleading with "Shiro-ni" to let you have the big tv in the living room to watch one of your dumb movies, despite having a perfectly good fifty inch flatscreen in the guest room you were staying in to use. Reo couldn't help the way his dick had jumped at your begging, his breath stuttering as all the blood in his brain rushed south. He wanted you whiney and begging for him, tone dripping with lust and brain full of nothing but him.
"Died again. Damn it" Nagi groaned rolling his eyes when he Chigiri taunted him over the headset, "what is up with you tonight?". It took a moment for Reo to realize Nagi was talking to him.
"Huh? Nothing, what's up with you?" He retorted, shifting uncomfortably in the beanbag as his cock throbbed and strained against his sweatpants, "been letting us get our asses kicked".
"Me? You're the one over there spacing out thinking about my sister". Reo's heart began hammering in his throat and he could feel his face heating.
"Oh god as if" He scoffed, rolling his eyes and breaking contact to look away, "She's so goddamn annoying".
"Right, I know you like her dude" Nagi said simply, getting up to switch his controller now that the battery had died before the next round.
"Whatever, Im gonna go piss I'll be back" Reo said, his jaw tight.
"Grab those chips we got at the convenience store earlier while your out there". Reo waved him off as he shut the door but he would grab them anyway. He didn't actually have to piss, he just wanted to leave the room and break the tension, Damn that white haired bastard for calling him out and being right.
Reo didn't see you when he walked out into the living room, the last twenty minutes of your movie still playing and setting the room in a bright glow. It wasn't until he got to the doorway of the kitchen that he saw you, sprawled out asleep on the couch, the throw blanket you had been using falling off onto the floor and leaving your shirt rucked up and short sleeps shorts on full display. He nearly swallowed his tongue when he realized you were wearing one of the T-shirts he had left over here, an old one from when he was in BlueLock. The sight of your soft skin with the cotton pulled up, knowing you most definitely were not wearing a bra underneath, had his blood running hot again; saliva pooling against his tongue and his cheeks burning like open flames. 'Chips, get the chips' He chided himself, turning his back and going to the cabinet to pull the bag out. But then he was in the doorway again, bag lightly gripped in his hand as he stood there a moment, just gazing at you and wondering about everything wrong with him. Everything inside him that was shuffling his feet forward to get a look under your loose shorts, just a look. He'd just pull them to the side real easy and you'd never even know. He was on his knees at the side of the couch, chip bag forgotten on the floor, feeling equal parts shame and excitement as he hooked his fingers beneath the soft material; feeling the lacy edges of your panties. You were so warm under his fingers and it made him throb to think about how wet you'd be, what you'd taste like. He bit back a groan as he let his mind wander for a moment, thinking about how sweet you would be against his tongue and how much he craved it. Craved it like a dog. He couldn't help the feelings of shame dissipating as the mental image of you spread bare and dripping for him broke the last of his restraint. It would only be a taste, just to quell the urge and allow him a little self indulgence. That wasn't wrong right?
Reo was still delicate as he moved your shorts and underwear to the side, not wanting to risk waking you by trying to take it all off, his bright purple eyes taking in every bit of skin he could see until he finally had your pretty pussy on display.
"God, angel just look at you" he murmured just below the volume of the tv, inching his face closer to your exposure until he brushed his nose against the wiry hairs at your mound. He was fulfilling every fantasy he had the moment he sucked your clit in against his tongue, running the slippery muscle up to nudged at the sensitive little bud before dipping down to taste at your entrance, your body tensing beneath his hand lightly on your hip. He couldn't get too greedy, not wanting to wake you but also so so desperate to make you cum so you'd drip against his tastebuds. He tried so hard to be gentle, delicate and light with his menstruations but the more of you he tasted, the drunker he became; vision growing hazy and his moans getting harder and harder to hold back. He was trying so hard not to buck his hips, to not cum in his pants like some inexperienced teenager, rolling and suckling your clit with his lips and tongue stimulating you so much your hips began to unconsciously chase his mouth anytime he attempted to pull away, which only drove him more crazy. You wanted him, you needed him,at least that's what his fuzzy brain was screaming. Craved him as much as he craved you for the first time and his animal brain wasn't about to let up and disappoint you. He needed you to cum for him, needed it like his lungs needed air, and any thought other than getting you to that high was irrelevant; his cock heavy and leaking through his underwear a distant thought. Drool was smearing from his lips against your puffy clit and the light rub of his teeth against your sensitivity had a breathy moan gracing his ears. Reo thought he had died and gone to heaven when he felt a hand card through his violet hair, and not that you had awoken when a desperate groan had spilled from his lips and vibrated against your pussy. He didn’t stop, trying in vain to gain his breath as his heart sat like a rock in his stomach and he was barely able to look up knowing that you would be looking at him.
"Reo?" you mumbled sleepily, pressing up against his fervent mouth even as uncertain butterflies burst through your stomach. You could practically feel the heat radiating off his face as he grunted a confirming sound, not able to tear himself away even as he gained the courage to flash his gaze up to you when you didn't push him away. The stars in his eyes were infectious, addicting in a way you weren't expecting as he looked at you; his pupils blown wide and expression pleading you not to reject him as he pressed closer to devour you and bring you to your high. You were a lot closer than you thought, the feeling of him spitting messily against your clit sending you over the edge with a cut off moan, your hand clamping over your mouth so as not to alert Nagi, your legs tensing around Reo's broad shoulders and shivers running up your spine. He eased back just as your toes uncurled, pressing soft kisses against your inner thighs and smearing your slick against your skin and across his chin. You giggled breathlessly, focusing on the feeling of his shallow breaths and the softness of his hair beneath your fingers.
"Reo, if you wanted me so bad all you had to do was say pretty please" You admitted quietly, watching as the purple haired man smirked and bit your flesh teasingly before shouldering his way past your thighs till your legs were around his waist and his lips were hovering over yours, the pussy drunk look on his face only sending heat to your core again. He kissed the corner of your lips and then your cheek before trailing down your throat to your pulse point, a shaky breath and groan fanning your skin.
"P-Pretty Please"

Summary: The progression of Yoichi and your relationship told through your line of sight
A/n: i was on tiktok when i thought of this little piece :) i'd like to write some more bllk things in the future! more specifically i'd like to write a bllk smau so if you know anything about that hmu!! i have this story in mind but I'm not sure on how to actually create the fake media ss
Warning(s): none
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then
Yoichi knows that he isn't the best-looking guy. He's average at best. Average in terms of grades, looks, and social standing. He knows that there are guys out there that draw more attention to themselves naturally.
But then again, he's just in high school, a small part of life. He knows that these school years go by quick and that people who peak now always end up misreable later on in life. He knows that he's not one of those people.
But as he watches you laugh with some of your friends, glowing from the sunshine behind you, he wishes that he were one of those people who naturally drew attention to themselves. He wishes he were taller, more built, more everything!
He knows that someone like you doesn't even glance at him twice when you enter a room. No, people look at you first, and you probably (if even at all) look at him last.
And he's right. Yoichi isn't someone who naturally draws your attention, someone who doesn't really register in your mind. You know of him, but you don't know him. You know that he sits behind you in class, that he's on the soccer team, that he gets semi-ok grades, and that's about it.
Every time the two of you are in a room, you're the first person who Yoichi looks for whereas your gaze always ends up on him last.
now
Where is he? you think to yourself. Minutes seem to drag on as you stand by yourself near the refreshment table. People talk and mingle all around you, but you don't really care for them. Not when your fiance is somewhere around here.
"Stupid me," you grumble, swishing your drink around. You ended up coming to this charity event earlier than Yoichi (which you're now regretting not waiting for Yoichi) and were quick to strike up some conversation with Reo and Seishiro. It wasn't long before the duo were swiped away by some donors, leaving you all on your own.
And now, you're here, waiting for your fiancé to arrive and wrap his arm around the small of your back before planting a gentle kiss on your cheek. A defeated sigh escapes from your lips as your shoulders drop and a pout makes its way to your face.
Your pity party doesn't last long before the doors to the hall are kicked open, and there's a bustle among the crowd. There's excitement, and you swear that your heart beats faster as you catch a glimpse of dark black hair.
Dark black hair that you love running your fingers through. Hair that always tickles your neck as Yoichi snuggles further into your body at night. Hair that has started smelling just like yours since Yoichi's always using your shampoo, saying that he loves to smell just like you.
Before you know it, your body's moving forward and towards your lover. Through the crowd, you catch glimpses of him and see him smile and greet other guests with Meguru by his side. His blue eyes are bright and shining, and the room starts to feel warmer like the sun itself has decided to come down from the sky and place itself in the banquet hall.
"Yo!" you try to say, but your voice is drowned out by all the excited guests as they awe at the great striker. You try to weave through the crowd and you grumble as you're seemingly pushed further away from your love.
It's not something new; you being pushed away from Yoichi because of the public. The more he seems to achieve, the more he seems to get further away, and more attention is thrown his way. All eyes turn to him the minute he steps into the room, and you, too, turn to look at him, your cheeks always turning a little rosier.
Letting out another sigh, you stop trying to get closer and simply stand and watch with a defeated smile as Yoichi signs things and shakes hands. Turning away, you figure that you'll give him time before trying to reunite with him later.
You only take four steps before you hear your name called out from behind you. Everything passes by like some romantic moment from all those shojo animes you watch as you turn and Yoichi steps toward you, his eyes warm and cheeks flushed red at how pretty you look.
"There you are! I was looking for you, but then I got swarmed by everyone," he grins boyishly, and your heartbeat beats widely in your ears as your eyes widen. Unconsciously, you hold your clutch a little closer to your chest before you're also smiling brightly at your fiance.
"I was looking for you too," you say before Yoichi's grin grows ten times bigger to the point that the ends of his eyes crinkle. He wraps an arm around the small of your back and presses a gentle kiss to your cheek. You giggle as you catch a whiff of strawberry.
You're still the first person that Yoichi looks for when the two of you are in a room. Now, it's a little difficult to spot you because there's always a crowd of people separating the two of you, but that doesn't keep you away from him for long since he, too, is the first person that you look for when you step into a room.

MEET THE PARENTS
info ⭑ mikage reo x reader ノ 0.9k wc ノ sfw ノ fluff ノ reference to reader's parents and family
note ⭑ happy holidays! i think this is my first time writing a solo piece for reo so hopefully it isn't too bad. thanks for reading! ❤︎‬
requested by @yuukimiyas for my winter wonderland event (closed)!
Tumblr media
reo is a punctual man—he sticks to a schedule and considers his time valuable. so when he isn’t home on time after practice on the night that you’re hosting your family for dinner, you’re struck with worry. twenty minutes behind isn’t something you’d usually bat your eyes at but you will admit that it’s strange not getting a text or call explaining his absence on the occasion he’s been fretting about all week.
with dinner started on the stove, you wipe your hands on a dish towel before reaching for your phone to figure out what’s keeping reo from home. though, before you can find his contact, the photo you have saved with his name flashes on your screen as the device buzzes with an incoming call from him.
you press the green accept button, wasting no time starting your distressed interrogation. “where are you?”
there’s a laugh from his end of the line and you can hear the faraway honking of horns. his explanation comes easily, as though you should have expected it. “i swung by the florist to pick up a bouquet for your mom.”
reo’s answer doesn’t come as a surprise. in addition to being punctual, reo is chivalrous, too. ever since you told him that your family would be visiting for the holidays, he’s made it his personal mission to make sure that everything is in order—that he’d be leaving a good impression on the ones you love.
if the preparation he’s taken so far is evidence of anything, it’s that he truly has nothing to worry about. maybe you’re a little bit biased, but how could anyone not like reo?
“you know, typically guests bring gifts for the hosts—not the other way around.” the urgency has faded from your voice upon learning the reason behind his not being here, traded in for a more relaxed tone, one with a playful edge.
“no way,” he starts, and you can practically hear the frown in his voice, “it’s their first time at our place and meeting me. i’ve gotta do this right.”
between his actions and his words, it’s clear that reo is taking the one opportunity he has with this first meeting seriously. it’s flattering to see that he cares so much, that he wants those closest to you to like him even a fraction of the way you do. your heart feels like it’s floating in your chest knowing that reo is doing all of this for your sake.
“understood.” you smile with your declaration. “anyways, did you call for something?”
“right, did you need me to pick anything up while i’m out?”
“nope,” you shake your head even though he can’t see you, “just get home safe.”
“sure thing, love you.”
it isn’t long before you hear reo’s key unlocking your front door and his house slippers shuffling down the hallway and into the kitchen. a purple head of hair greets you in the doorway accompanied by pops of red and white from the flower bouquet he’s holding. his violet eyes light up when you turn to meet his gaze and welcome him home.
“hey.” you offer him a wave from the stove before your eyes fall to the flower arrangement in his grasp. “those are pretty.”
he examines them closely, like you’re sure he did while the florist was putting the bouquet together and after he received the flowers. “you think she’ll like them?”
you hum and nod, a smile tugging at your lips upon seeing the relief that colors his face with your approval. he sets the paper-wrapped bouquet on an unoccupied space of the kitchen island before rubbing his hands together and looking to you for direction.
“what can i do?”
there’s an unspoken rule that reo doesn’t cook on special occasions. he can admit that it’s a skill he has yet to master and that the meals of guests are better left out of his hands. with this in mind, you jerk your head toward the cabinets that hold your plates and silverware. “wanna set the table?”
“i can do that,” he agrees.
while you finish up dinner, reo goes between the kitchen and dining room, neatly arranging the dishes on the festive tablecloth you had set out earlier. he kisses you with each trip he makes, first on your forehead, then your nose, and when he’s back in the kitchen for good, he plants one of your lips. the taste of familiar, minty like the gum he chews with a hint of cucumber from his chapstick. 
you’re starting to get the feeling that his nerves are calming, that the perfectionist in him is mellowing, but his next question is proof that he’s still a little anxious about the events to come. “do your parents prefer red or white wine?”
you shrug. it’s been a while since you’ve had a meal with them and even then you can’t say that you paid much attention to what they were drinking. “i’m sure they’ll enjoy either.”
he opens his mouth to protest but you shush him by pressing a finger to his lips.
“reo, relax.” you hook your arms under his to rub soothing circles on his shoulder blades. he takes your advice, taking a deep breath in through his nose and letting it leave through his mouth. your lips pull up into a grin as you feel his muscles ease, the tension seeping from his body. “they’re going to love you.”
he nods, a small smile of his own appearing with your reassurance.
only a moment later, the ring of your doorbell sounds throughout the house. you meet reo’s gaze with an encouraging sparkle in your eyes. “it’s go time.”

Hello can I request crossdresser!y/n being in barou's place (after the u-20 match) and his family warmly welcomed her and she almost teared up Infront of them?? 😭😭
🌱🩷: THIS WAS SUCH A CUTE REQUEST! THANK U🩷🩷
Warnings: Reader uses she/her. In the story the boys will be using he/him when addressing Yn. Requests for this series are open. Also I made up the names of Barou's sisters!
⚽️Blue Lock belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura⚽️
'Stay calm (Y/n)... it's just Barou's family... are they as scary as my own?! Or as uptight as Reo's?!' (Y/n) gulped as she stood near the gates of Barou's house, fidgeting the random pastries she bought on her way there.
"I can't... what if they will go in on my appearance, too? Or what if Barou's siblings start judging me like my brothers do."
Taking a deep breath, she slowly took her phone out of the pocket and dialed a familiar number. (Y/n) nervously tapped her foot, feeling like throwing up her lunch as Barou answered.
"Loser, where are you?"
"I can't bring myself to ring the doorbell!"
"What?! Why are you being so dramatic?! Just ring the doorbell!"
"I can't! My legs are frozen here at the gates... maybe I should have called you an hour ago..." She sneezed. There was short silence and (Y/n) could feel the anger bubbling up inside Barou from the other side.
'I am fucked.' She closed her eyes and moved the phone away from her ear.
"ARE YOU STUPID?! AN HOUR?!" Barou took a deep breath and she heard feet moving around and doors opening.
"I can't leave you anywhere! Stay there- Mina, stop playing with the spoon!"
"Mama, Shouei-nii is being mean!"
Those were the last things (Y/n) heard before the line went silent. She put her phone in her pocket again and looked up at the darkening sky.
'I can do it! I can do it! I can do it-'
"IDIOT! I WILL KILL YOH IF YOU GET SICK!" Barou yelled as he opened the gate, glaring over at (Y/n), who jumped in fright.
"I am too young to die! Do you know how many cuisines I didn't try yet?!" She yelled, glaring over at him.
After about 5 minutes of Barou calming (Y/n) down, they walked towards the entrance door.
"You didn't have to bring us anything... we invited you-"
"No. It's the least I can do after your parents offered dinner and a sleepover." (Y/n) quickly said back as Barou opened the door.
"Idiot..."
"Stop calling me that." She said, sending him a side glare.
"Stop being one."
"Nii-san, why are you being mean to the only normal friend you ever had?" The two stopped at the entrance and looked down at a girl with red eyes and dark brown hair looking up at them. She didn't look older than 8.
"Mina, shut up." Barou said with a red face as another girl approached them. She had brown eyes and black hair, and didn't look older than 14.
'So... these are Barou's sisters?' (Y/n) thought.
"Mina is right, nii-san. Aside from (L/n)-san, I don't know who else could tolerate you."
"Mina, Akane, shut up."
(Y/n)'s jaw dropped at how casual the three siblings were with each other, the younger two going as far to yell back at Barou. It was something she really wasn't used to.
'My brothers would break my nose if I dared to talk like this.'
Just as the siblings were about to get louder, another voice echoed through the room.
"What are you three doing there?! That's no way to welcome our guest! Especially when he is still one foot in the cold."
The four tensed up as they turned to look at a much older man, who looked similar to Barou.
'Well... seems like he got his looks from his dad...' (Y/n) looked between the older man and Barou, who huffed a little.
"Sorry, dad."
'How are they so casual?! My dad would ground me if I didn't add any honorifics.'
"Hush! All of you! The poor boy is still in the cold." A woman with brown hair and eyes walked into the hallway while looking at (Y/n) in concern, a look she didn't get from her adoptive mother ever since she arrived at the house.
'That must be Barou's mom...'
The girl shook her head and her face turned red as the family turned their attention to her.
"I...It's fine! Than-thanks for having me here!" She said nervously and bowed.
"(L/n) (Y/n), it's an honor to meet you all."
"Nii-san... how did you end up befriending such a polite guy?" Akane raised her eyebrow as (Y/n) looked back at the trio.
"What do you want to say with that?" Barou sent the middle child a warning glare.
"You are rude." Akane said back as Mina joined in on the fun.
"And you snore!"
"What does that have to do with anything?!"
Barou's father sighed as he walked over to calm the trio down, as the mother walked over to (Y/n), sending her a welcoming smile.
"Ignore them, they are like that all the time, but they mean no harm. Come in now, it's probably cold."
(Y/n) slowly nodded her head at the woman as she lead her inside and closed the door behind her.
"You really don't need to help me. Just go and hang out with Shouei." The older woman said as she watched (Y/n) cutting some vegetables. The girl shook her head and looked over at the woman.
"It's the least I can do after inviting me over."
"It's really nothing. I was happy to find out Shouei has finally found a friend... he always had a hard time finding peers to get along with."
"He did? Also, he called me his friend?" (Y/n) asked in surprise, she never thought Barou saw her as anything more than a teammate.
"Yes, Shouei is... he can be a lot... and I can see that you are pretty accepting of his nature. It's really nice to see you don't judge him for who he is." The woman's words caught (Y/n) off guard, and there was a short silence between the two.
"I really don't mind Barou's nature... it's really refreshing from what I am used to, and... judging him would just be a waste of time."
The woman looked at (Y/n) in surprise and slowly smiled while nodding.
"You are a good kid, (Y/n). I am happy to have you here. I can also see why you were picked as the team's captain."
The girl blushed a little at that as she felt her lips quiver.
'Don't come out now.'
Slowly nodding her head, she continued chopping the vegetables.
During dinner, the family would ask (Y/n) some questions about life and how Blue Lock was. The girl would answer them as honestly as possible. While mostly talking to the parents, (Y/n) never noticed Barou sending his sisters warning looks, since he knew they were about to embarrass him with whatever they wanted to say.
"So, what are your plans after Blue Lock? Do you plan on pursuing football professionally?" Barou's dad askes as (Y/n) quickly gulped down her food.
'This feels like one of those scenes where the girlfriend brought her boyfriend to meet the parents.' She suppressed a laugh as she spoke up.
"I will see... if a club offers to take me in as a player, I will gladly accept. But I do plan on finishing my studies while doing so."
"You do?"
"Mhmm. I like thinking ahead... and with a degree I have a more secure future in case something happens." She explained to the older man.
There was a short silence, and (Y/n) started to panic that she said something wrong.
"Well... now I see who the responsibile one in this friendship is." Akane laughed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Barou glared at her as (Y/n) grabbed his sleeve to hold him back.
"Nothing~"
"While we have the attention on me!" Mina chirped in.
"We really don't." Barou answered back.
"(Y/n)-nii! I need to tell you of the time Barou called his teacher mom!"
"Mina, shut up!" Barou's face turned red as he sent an awkward glance towards (Y/n).
"Please calm down you both. And I have to say, seeing a young boy like you being so responsible and thinking ahead is very refreshing." (Y/n) looked at the man and slowly nodded her head.
"I am sure you are a son your parents can only be proud of."
Barou noted the way (Y/n) stiffened a little and she awkwardly nodded her head.
"I guess..." She sent the man an unsure smile.
"Well, I for one am happy Shouei found a friend in you."
The man finished, leaving (Y/n) at a loss of words for a moment.
'Don't come out now... don't come out now...' She chanted to herself, holding herself back from crying.
"Sorry for my parents and sisters... they can be a handful." Barou said awkwardly as the two walked a little bit through the neighborhood after dinner. It was a calm and cold night, and (Y/n) couldn't help but find it comforting.
"It's ok... they are really kind. And they care for you a lot." (Y/n) smiled at the boy, who simply nodded his head.
"Yeah, they do.... you know, you are always welcome here." Barou blushed a little as he said the last part.
"I will note that one down." (Y/n) said, trying to make it come off as a joke, but she really meant it. Tonight was one of a kind experience for her.
'For the first time since this break started I felt like I am at home.' She smiled to herself as Barou observed her silently.
For a while, the silence stayed like that, and Barou eventually cleared his throat to speak up.
"The moon in beautiful, isn't it?"
The girl looked in surprise at Barou and then up at the moon, not noticing the red tinting his cheeks.
"It is beautiful... I didn't take you as someone who observes the moon. Should I call you Moon king from now on?" (Y/n) laughed as Barou glared at her.
"You can be unbearable sometimes."
"Thanks!"
"That isn't a compliment!"

⤹ Was i wrong? 𝄞₊ ⊹
Tumblr media
˖ ִֶָ 𝄞 Part 1
6 years gone, and he’s not reaching. Maybe because NAGI SEISHIRO knows you’re not there for him anymore.
Yet, a part of him just wished you stayed, and waited— It was selfish, he was selfish.
The night was drawn loose, the sound of cocktails clinking together, the colorful lights that reflected on your skin, the same one that was casting a warm glow over the crowded space. As the night progressed, the music grew louder. Variety of old friends watching and sipping on their drinks, while others mingled and made conversation over the noise.
Nagi Seishiro…was pretty much, Nagi Seishiro. He wasn’t the type to attend reunion parties. Unless, Reo dragged him along. Such a hassle. He’d think to himself, poor guy just wanted his passport renewed. Why else would he come back to Japan?
His perspective changed, not the instant he saw you—but when he saw you. God, in that a dress that complimented your features. He wanted to hide forever, somewhere out of your sight. He knew he was out of your sight anyways. The way you entertained the other guests, you’d smile the same way you did around him. God, you’re frustrating and he’s frustrated… over his own mistakes.
And he didn’t know he was showing his frustration, not until Reo saw the frown tugging on the side of his lips, he knew he had to do something.
Grabbing Nagi by the arm, dragging him across the entire dance floor. Not to see any other girl, not to pick up any other sponsors. He knew Nagi wanted to see you.
And there he was, next to you. While Reo was nagging about God knows who to you. While you stood there, unacknowledging the white-haired egoist beside him. He’s not one for worship. But he’d worship the floor you stand on.
And when another girl catches Reo’s eye he’d make an excuse up to leave, nudging Nagi by his shoulder shoulder before he whispered under his breath.
“don’t mess this up.” And he knew he wouldn’t.
Nagi knew it wasn’t easy, an apology is never easy for him. It’s not like his games where he has dialogues he can choose from, and you’re magically back into his arms. He knew he had to work for it, and he did so.
“Hey.” The white-haired man spoke, before he fell silent— letting it linger in the air despite the crowded room and loud music. The world around the two of you seemed to volume down.”
“...hey.” You replied shortly after. You know you’ve moved on; it can’t be any more awkward than this. Yet, a part of you misses him and wishes he goes away before things get worst.
He wasn’t the type to express things verbally, how he missed you, or how he was practically on the verge of insanity and how your absence leaves a hole in his heart.
And it was an itching feeling, something he wanted to throw away when he was at the UK.
Eventually, he realized the obvious. Nagi Seishiro was in love with you.
“..sorry.” he managed to mumble out, and before you knew it. His eyes were on the ground, he avoided your gaze. He felt vulnerable, his eyes filled with longing. His eyes filled with the thrill of what he’s feeling for you.
Your eyes widened in surprise, did the foreign country actually teach him actual human decency? Where was the egoist you were friends with.
“’ts fine, it was a long time ago.” You left me, I hated you. You brushed it off with your signature smile, ‘y’r so so pretty.’ He’d think to himself, ‘Prettier than the day he left you.’
But he wouldn’t budge with your response, the smile didn’t put him at ease at all. “not okay.” He murmured, pulling you in for an awkwardly initiated hug.
Sorry for not saying anything, for ending on bad terms. Sorry for… The world wasn’t forgiving. You were what he called home, and he hasn’t been home for awhile.
His thoughts were cut shortly, with the muffled sobbing on his shoulder. He didn’t want you to cry, he’s missed you too much to see that right now.
“..was my apology that bad?”
“God, Seishiro you are so stupid.” You replied in a mock hurt tone, although there were tears falling down to your cheek, you couldn’t help but smile.
And it took him a while, a long while but he got his feelings out, ranging from why he didn’t tell you to his unplanned confession.
“I hope we can try again.” He suggested, voice laced with uncertainty. He’d always consider your feelings, It’s different from the egoist on the field. He’d love you right this time, he wanted to see you smile again.
“of course, we can.”  
Maybe Manshine’s genius needed his passport renewed some other time.
aide memoire; this was inspired by my ex sort of haha lowls, it's bad i know pls bare w me my assessments are coming soon. I hope u guys like it!! reqss r very much welcome anyways. i dont bite:3

Tumblr media
it's time!
for your divine, beautiful, majestic, heavenly, breath-taking, lovely, charming, marvelous, splendid, distinguished, monumental, glorious, astonishing, and pretty boyfriend to get out of his hell hole!!!
the blue lock program.
because of that stupid program you didn't get to even chat him or see him for months! now he's a celebrity after that soccer match that you didn't even managed to get a ticket for.
you want to see him so much instead of chatting with him on some apps. you hated how chigiri hyoma is now known to the world and some ppl liked him because of his beauty. that beauty should've been only for you.
fortunately, he is yours and you are his.
but he said that he only have two weeks break so that means the program is still not finish yet and that made you filled with the 5 stages of grief because that technically means that you won't be seeing him for months again! and who knows? he will also be offered with professional clubs out there.
you're glad that he didn't give up on soccer anymore and how he is really happy now.
with these two weeks break, you will make the most time to hang out with your boyfriend and make the most of it.
oh? is that your lovely boyfriend there? and if you're not mistaken — the people that he's talking to is the blue lock people.
'i want to surprise him. i mean.. his reactions will be so cute! after all, we haven't seen eachother for a long time.'
Tumblr media
"i think i will have a chances with many pretty girls this year."
"shut up, otoya."
"being known to the world feels nice."
"i wonder if i have a fanbase..."
"isagi! look at the comments about you."
"people really like nagi, huh."
"why are they so shocked that reo is playing soccer..."
the atmosphere was lively as everyone was talking about different things. some were talking about their popularity, soccer, the u-20 match, school and friends.
what was irritating me is that aryu keep asking me about what i use for my hair. yeah yeah, i know my hair is silky but only some people can touch it. if i don't want him to bother me with his 'glam' things. i just need to straight up tell him about the haircare i use.
"oh really? that's the one you use... hmm, what a shame. it doesn't fit my glam hair."
"ok, aryu..."
just stop talking to me about that, it's boring! damn it. "chigiri! look at people commenting about your beauty!" bachira showed me the multiple comments about my beauty and how they wish they know me earlier... blah blah blah. "haha, it's amazing how chigiri got people to like because of his beauty." isagi said.
"i bet his fanbase is full of girls."
is it? i don't really remember...
"i don't think so?"
"yeah, right.
i couldn't careless about the fanbase anyway. i already have my special someone who never gave up on me. the one who was always there with me through thick and thin. she never left me when i was injured. it was a shame she didn't managed to see the match in front of her eyes.
if she was there, i would've hug her tight even if there was my mother and sister there...
it's been a long time since i see her.
i was conversing with nagi and telling him some information about soccer. when suddenly i felt a hand wrapped around my waist from behind and a beaming girl's voice was heard.
"boo!"
'eh?'
everyone stop talking and look at the uninvited guest that just arrived. 'wooo' and 'oohh' could be heard from them. nagi look at the person who interrupt chigiri from talking and the person unwrapped their hands from chigiri's waist.
"[name]!?"
"oh, you're surprised to see me." you chuckle at the sight of him.
you wave at all the people there and they wave back with welcome but they're definitely questioning who you are from the sudden appearance. otoya did the honor of asking not before asking if you're single.
"im taken by the oh so lovely princess chigiri hyoma."
"oh."
"oi, don't call me that."
well, at least no one's here is beautiful like your boyfriend! this goes unnoticed by you but when otoya asked you that question. he almost tried to gouge out otoya's eyes. you didn't notice yukimiya was there until he spoke up.
"[name], you are dating chigiri?"
"ah, since when are you here... yuki?"
"you two knew each other?"
"he's my co-worker in the model agency but don't worry i never work with him, hyoma."
chigiri let out a sigh of relief at that statement. sure, yukimiya was handsome. and he love how you are loyal to him in the end. they time passed with you being introduced to the boys and come of them praised you for being a beauty and question you is it hard being a model and all that.
you get to know some of them better and it did help with yukimiya being there.
"i think it's time we should go back home." isagi said. the time was almost 5:00 p.m and they all agreed to it — saying goodbyes to one another, you set out walking back home with chigiri.
"you really surprised me back there."
"your reaction was worth it. hehe."
typical [name]. a little prankster ever since middle school. "here, do you want my hand?" chigiri offered you his hand for you to wrapped your hands around it and you did just that. you lean your head on his shoulders while walking to the train station. talking along the way about the day and your opinion on the boys.
"you did great on the match, hyoma. you don't have to think about it that much when you were out half time. i have been watching you that whole match even if i wasn't there. you're my favorite player out there."
it was out of the blue when you said that but it was comforting to him. you are his biggest supporter and he will never let go of that fact. the things you said to comfort him. you always know what his feelings are at the moment.
"thank you, [name]."
you chuckle at his flustered voice.
"that's my duty as your biggest supporter."
you two arrived at the train station and wait for your train to come and board it. it is fortunately empty. you love some quiet times with chigiri on the train.
you lean your head on chigiri's shoulder and close your eyes while holding his hand on the train and hum a melody. "[name], what do you think of me?" he said with a slight nervous. hoping at what you said about him is all positive.
"if im being brutally honest... after you were injured, you care too much about what those people said about your injuries. especially those wanima twins. i hate them. you have me on your back — i will defend you from those types of people but im happy that you're not giving up on soccer. you are a hardworking guy. you are slightly moody though..."
"that's too honest."
"i did said i was brutally honest."

Therapy Session
Tumblr media
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
A/N: Hey Guys! This is the last part of my three part series! I hope you enjoy it! After this part I'm going to be doing a poll on what I should write next! I don't really like how this one turned out, I'm shit at happy endings lol
TW: Swearing, Angst, Kind of a Happy Ending
HERE'S Part 1 Part 2
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
You and Katsuki have been going to your therapist, Dr. Reo, for a month, and he is trying, like, really trying.
He's been on time for these appointments, doing the exercises your therapist has given him, and has given you the space you need.
Hell, he even slept in the guest room for you, but he still hasn't answered the big question.
"Now, Mr. Bakugo, the question still stands after this past month I've seen the two of you; why did you cheat?"
You looked at him expectingly, leaning on the opposite side of the couch from him, arms crossed.
He had been asking himself this question many times this past few weeks.
Why did he do it?
He wasn't drunk; it wasn't that he wasn't satisfied by you; god knows he is.
"Because…" he thought to himself because I could.
He felt his blood run cold; he did it…because he could.
He had control over a situation and did it because he could.
"Because I could. I had control for the first time since I'd become a hero and made it to the top 10, Hell, since the wars in high school." He slumps back into the couch.
"Since I was a kid, the minute I got this power," He looks down at his hand, rubbing his scared fingers together.
"My life, my future, was already planned out for me, and I could get away with everything."
He lets out a shaky breath as tears gather in his red eyes.
"I thought I could get away with using that woman, that I could get away with hurting the love of my life all because I thought I could. Like I always do."
He looks out the corner of his eye to see you staring at him in horror, tears streaming down your beautiful face; he fucking hurt you so damn bad.
"Because of… what-" you croak, hands shaking as you bring them to your face, hassling, wiping the tears away.
"But!-" He adds, straightening up, reaching out for you, clasping your hands together.
"I don't…I don't want to feel that way." He looks at you pitifully
"Please…Please believe me."
You had nothing to say.
Dr. Reo nods his head at the blond.
"Well, that's progress, Mr. Bakugou; maybe you should take a step outside, take a breather while I talk to the Missus for the rest of our session?"
He stares at you a bit longer to ask if that is okay; you nod your head, dropping your gaze.
"Okay," he whispered as he dropped your hands and slowly stood up; he never took his eyes off you.
"I'll be right outside if you need me, okay?"
You have a tight-lipped smile; you can see him deflated at your reluctance to speak to him, nodding again as he exists in the room.
Dr. Reo focuses his attention on you.
"So, this is one of our last secluded sessions. Do you want me to be honest with you?"
You nod, fiddling with your hands; you can still feel his callous fingers on them.
He sighs at you, pulling his glasses off and placing them on the coffee table in front of you.
"Ms., I firmly believe that Bakugou needs one-on-one therapy; he's hoarding some deeply rooted issues; I can recommend a good hero specialist therapist if that's something he'd want, but as for your relationship."
You lean forward, hands on your knees.
"He loves you and feels genuine remorse, but it's up to you," He points his finger at you.
"Whether or not you forgive him."
You sigh, head falling; you want to, you do, really.
"I do, trust me; it's just…" You raised your hand and rubbed your face. "I'm just scared."
"Of?"
"Of him doing it again?"
He raises an eyebrow at you. "Are you asking yourself or me?"
That gave you pause.
"I… I'm scared of what people will say or how they'll look at me like I'm some pushover or a gold digger who'll let him fuck whoever as long as I get his money or some stupid shit."
You've read the magazines through the years the two of you have been together, you've seen all the clickbait titles on youtube videos and drama channels, and you know what they say about you.
He nods
"And he'll do it again like you must have seen her; she's a top model!" You laugh pitifully.
"And you were pro-hero Natural Disaster."
Your face dropped; you rather forget about your hero days.
"You love him?" He questions, you nod
"Do you want this to work out?" You nod again
"Then go make it work." He waves at the door
"It's gonna take a lot more than me to fix this, and even after all that work, you still don't have to forgive him."
You look over at the frosted glass door to see Katsuki's silhouette.
"This has been hard on both of you; he's moved out of your shared bedroom, avoided him, and refused to speak more than one sentence unless it's here."
You watch him pace back and forth in fount of the door, a nervous tick he has.
"By those actions, you're showing him that you don't want this to work, yet he comes to every meeting for you."
You feel your heart break while watching him.
Has he been this anxious since what happened?
The timer blares out; Dr. Reo leans over and taps his phone.
"Go; he needs you."
You nod numbly, slowly standing up.
The door opens, and there he is, waiting, and like clockwork, he extends his hand out for you to take, which you've been ignoring for a month, he knows you won't take it, but he tries.
'He needs you.'
He's surprised when he feels a soft, warm hand entangle with his callous and scared one.
He looks at you, but you refuse to meet his eyes; you might cry if you do.
"Let's go home Katsuki."
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
His lips quiver, eyes welling up; he throws his head back, staring at the office's fluorescent lights as the tears run down his face.
"Y-yeah, let's go."

📸THE SOCCER MET GALA! What will tonight bring? Exclusive interview with FC GIRLFRIEND and BLLK! ‼️✨️
[Intro: My Little Pony. Detail of Soleil.]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Soleil: Today we are in the heart of Asturia, Vienna. *Soleil looks at the cameras* Good evening to all those who watch me, on Blue Lock TV. I'm Soleil, your reporter who turns to the Sun. Today, it's the well-known Soccer Met Gala, and along with me is Anri Tenri, the secretary of Blue Lock.
Anri: *Waves to the cameras* Hello, I'm Anri Tenri, and I'm accompanying you to see the players of famous soccer teams, along with a team that is attracting attention, FC GIRLFRIEND!
Soleil: *Looks at Anri* Anri, many people don't know what the Soccer Met Gala is, can you explain?
Anri: *She looks at the cameras* The Soccer Met Gala is an important celebration for all those soccer players, who will also win an award for best player. Not only that, it is also a fashion exhibition. A charity event. All the money will be donated to hospitals, orphanages and to grow the love for football.
Soleil: I see, I see! Well, I'm pretty excited, because my favorite team, FC GIRLFRIEND, will be coming to the red carpet tonight!
Anri: *Laughs* You can see the excitement from here, Miss Soleil. Therefore, the first guests are already coming, Blue Lock!
The cameraman: *Focuses the camera on the guys from the Blue Lock project*
Tumblr media
Soleil: We have the members of PXG and Bastard Munchen! We see Otoya, Karasu, Hiori, Ranze, Kaiser, Ness, Niko and Yukimiya! All beautiful! The suits look like they were designed by fashion designers Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura!
Anri: From what I see yes! Plus, his fans are screaming quite a bit! Don't you listen to them?!
Soleil: And I tell you yes, Anri! His fans are shouting, especially "Kaiser", after his well-known past. We definitely love the guys from Project Blue. Not only that, but there is also news that the FC GIRLFRIEND will be coming in a few minutes.
Anri: I love FC GIRLFRIEND. You interviewed FC GIRLFRIEND too, right?
Soleil: That's how it is! I asked questions, and they answered me! What outfits will they wear today, at the Soccer Met Gala?
[Karasu, Hiori and Yukimiya come]
Soleil: *Looks at them* Hello, soccer players! They seem to be getting excited today, right?!
Yukumiya: Enough, Miss Soleil. I want to see the lovely FC GIRLFRIEND.
Hiori: That's how it is! Tonight will be long!
Soleil: *Laughs a little* That means you can answer some questions, right?
Yukimiya: All that you want.
Soleil: Since when have you been interested in football?
Hiori: To be honest, since I was little, I think the Blue Lock is a good place to be. Especially with Isagi Yoichi.
Yukimiya: Same response from Hiori. Although he is better than me.
Kurona: *Smiles a little, but remains silent*
Anri: *Tops Soleil's shoulder* Soleil, look at that!
Soleil: *Soleil is looking at a black limousine*
[A black limousine enters the scene and the best Blue Lock players get out]
The cameraman: *Focuses the camera*
Soleil: We have more players, Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, Reo, Rin, Barou, Kunigami, and Nagi!
Anri: Lots of people today, the atmosphere is definitely quite festive!
Soleil: There are people missing, like Sae, Aiku, Shindou. But also, the World Cup quintet or our incredible coaches of our favorite teams!
Tumblr media
Soleil: *Looks at the camera* Definitely, the Met Gala Soccer will give us a lot of things today. We will meet again after the commercial announcements.
[10 MINUTES LATER]
Soleil: And again, at my side is Kunigami!
Kunigami: *Looks at the cameras and waves*
Soleil: Young Kunigami, the fandom is worried about you throughout this arc against the U-20s of different countries. Can we know what happened after the Wild Card?
Kunigami: I don't like to talk about it, to be honest. The only thing I can say is that I change mentally and I have a deep resentment towards Shidou.
Soleil: I see... But, you know that the Blue Lock fandom supports you with all their hearts! Including me!
Kunigami: *Smiles a little, and says thank you in his head*
Soleil: We definitely have a lot of handsome guys in suits. They look like the perfect couple from a fairy tale. Although 'fairy', there is not much.
[At that moment, Reo and Bachira appear]
Soleil: *Waves them* Good night, guys!
Bachira: Hello again, Soleil! *And greets the camera effusively* And hello, Blue Lock Fans!
Reo: *Giggles* Hello again, Soleil. When is an interview for solo?
Soleil: When I have time, young Reo. There are many interviews to do and write. It is not easy to write a script.
Reo: Then, I'll be happy to wait for it with my girlfriend!
Soleil: Of course. Soleil opens the doors to you. But you know what? *Soleil points the finger at another black limousine* There they are, our protagonists tonight.
[Another black limousine opens its doors and there are the FC GIRLFRIEND]
Soleil: THE TEAM THAT IS KILLING THIS SEASON IS HERE! *Soleil smiles excitedly at the camera*
Soleil: We have amazing players, ladies and gentlemen! I can't wait to interview each one of you! That means the FC GIRLFRIEND interview will be soon as soon as I collect all the possible answers!
Sae: *He appears savagely on camera and half the world got blood from his nose because of a tremendous Greek god*
Soleil: Hello, Sae! How was the collaboration with Taylor Swift on the album 1989?
Sae: To be honest, I had fun recording songs with Taylor Swift, although my little brother always bothers me.
Rin: Hey, I heard you. Repeat what you said, damn brother.
[At that time, FC GIRLFRIEND dropped]
Soleil: BUT LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE! THE FC GIRLFRIEND!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Soleil: Tremendous designer suits.
Anri: Too much... THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Blue Lock: *FC GIRLFRIEND left they speechless. They couldn't take their eyes off all the team members.*
Soleil: Definitely, today is a new night full of surprises.
Soleil: *Looks at the camera with a smile brighter than the sun* With this, this exclusive interview ends for today. Thank you very much for reading this far. I am infinitely grateful to you and all the love you give me. *Bows* I'm Soleil, your never-before-seen reporter!

⟶ Excerpt
“Do you remember what happened?” you ask him this with a whisper, unable to hold back your curiosity even if he is already starting to fade out again. You have been asking this same question over and over again ever since you stitched him back together, and it has been circling inside your head during the long nights you stayed awake by his side to watch over him and make sure that he wouldn’t get worse the moment you looked away.
You watch him as his expression grows tense, as if he is trying to remember something. “Vaguely—” he finally answers. “It’s a long story,” he adds after a beat of silence, then he turns his head to look at you. “Did you see anything or anyone when you found me? Did I say anything else other than the hospital?”
Scoffing, you shake your head at him. “I only saw a bleeding man in the water and pulled him out,” you answer with a chuckle. “And the only thing you said was ’No hospital’, instead of telling me what happened to you or why you were washed off nearby.”
He gives you a bitter chuckle, though his voice fades a little when the painkiller and his meds slowly kick right back in. “You’re either crazy or dumb that you actually took me in and stitched me back to one piece without knowing anything about me.”
His words make you chuckle. “Maybe I’m both,” you tell him, though he already has his eyes closed shut as he finally gives in to sleep, barely conscious enough to catch it when you add with a soft whisper, “But I suppose we’re both the same. Both of us are just crazy and dumb and terribly reckless. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait and find out which one I really am—Ghost.”
Tumblr media
Jung Hoseok keeps his eyes on the man sitting before him, wearing a smile on his face that is neither warm nor challenging. Just the same old mask that the hacker had always worn when he is met with a new company. His gaze remains unwavering as a waitress comes to drop two shots of drinks—each one containing a clear liquid that looks way too conspicuous to be pain water—placing one right in front of Hoseok and the other for his guest before sashaying away with her empty tray.
“What’s this?” the man asks, while Hoseok merely widens his smile.
“Shots. One shot for one question. Sounds easy enough, don’t you think? To make it even better, to every shot you take—” he grins as he raise his glass to his companion. “I’ll take one too.”
The man scoffs, and takes the shot glass, raising it for a toast against Hoseok’s drink before he downs the liquor to the very last drop. Not expecting the strong taste and the strong kick of the alcohol, the man winces and coughs for a moment, earning a chuckle from the hacker who seems pleased to see him struggling while he takes his drink smoothly.
“Not used to drinking hard liquor?” he teases his guest when the man puts his glass down with a bang.
Hearing Hoseok’s words, the man openly glares at him then leans forward as he recovers. “First question,” he says with a soft wheeze. “Five years ago, there was a group of underground vigilante who crashed the network in order to send the authorities a message. The group claimed themselves as ‘ghosts’, who had the ability to see everything, to hear everything, and to know every single secret there was in this country. During which, they were also responsible in hiding a whistleblower, someone that the higher ups had been fighting hard to find. You were a part of that group, weren’t you?”
Something flickers in the hacker’s eyes. A flash of recognition and acknowledgement, before a secretive smile replaces their presence when the hacker leans forward to answer, “Yes and no.”
The other man frowns, no doubt expecting more. But Hoseok merely sits back and smiles in his silence. “That’s it? No other explanation?”
To his surprise, the hacker has the audacity to simply shrug his shoulders and say, “I never said that I’d be giving you an essay to each question you’re giving me.” Hoseok resists the urge to chuckle when he sees his companion’s reaction, knowing that he seems to have struck him at the right spot. He wasn’t exactly planning to play a game with him, yet the man had come to him looking all curious and defiant and the same time that he couldn’t stop himself.
For a moment, Hoseok expects to see him walking away, refusing to play his game, but then he surprises him by lifting his chin, a sign that he is still willing to play along. Chuckling to himself, Hoseok lifts a finger, beckoning the waitress to return. This time, she comes back with two shot glasses for each of them, each one filled to the brim that a few drops come splashing onto the table as she puts them down for both men. She gives Hoseok a sly grin as she walks past, one that he returns subtly before he turns his attention back to his new friend.
The man mirrors his movement as Hoseok raises his glass, taking his shot down slowly while his friend takes his share just as roughly as the first one. With a groan, he puts the glass down and challenges Hoseok with a glare. “The money embezzlement case that happened three years ago. Your signature imprint was subtly hidden in the codes that was left behind during the transfers. So not only were you capable of hiding a whole person or group, you also magically made the money disappear, didn’t you?”
Hoseok hides the smile on his face by rubbing his chin. It is quite obvious, judging from the slurring words given to him, that the man sitting with him is starting to feel the affect from the drinks. Which means that he doesn’t have that much time left to play.
“I can do many things,” Hoseok answers him, once again coming closer so he can keep his voice down when he continues, “I can do magic. I can look into people’s lives, I can find those who don’t want to be found, and I can even tell you all the secrets that your own family had never told you about.” Hoseok leans closer, releasing a menacing chuckle as he adds, “I can even make you disappear.”

deleted scene/former draft of how the meeting between reo and reader from stars you only see during the day went LOL. Warning that this is half-edited and half-written!!!!
“I would have to think about it, Takei-san,” someone—probably Mikage—replies. You crane your head, just in time to catch the look of a boy with a flute of fizzy water in his hand. He’s cute, with uneven bangs and a dove gray suit, and probably around your age, if not a little older. 
Your staring doesn’t go unnoticed. He inclines his head, smiles at you, and waves you over. Suddenly, everyone’s stares are on you for the first time that day, the boy’s attention stronger than a lighthouse. “Those shrimp look good.” 
“Thanks. I didn’t make them,” you say, then kick yourself. Curse your smart mouth. With rich folk like these, it’s better to just keep silent. 
The boy— Mikage— laughs. “Then you have to thank the chef for me.” He delicately scoops up one of the shrimp with his forefinger and thumb. The crowd is silent as he partakes, before a wave of hands rush toward your platter as Mikage swallows. 
“It does look good, you’re right, Mikage-san!”
“You have such impeccable taste.”
“I’ve always had a fondness for shrimp myself!” 
You smile tightly as you’re jostled by the sudden onslaught, elbows bumping into your sides as you’re crowded. Ah. Mikage had probably done this on purpose— waved you over to get the attention off of him. You were nothing but a sacrifice in the process. 
Takei, the man who had been rude to you initially— you refuse to use honorifics with someone like him—  grabs at the shrimp. “Give me some,” he snaps. 
“I can go get refills—” you begin, but he snatches the platter, making you stumble. 
Mikage, looking a bit regretful at shoving you into the swarm of sharks, starts to come closer, the glass still in his hand. “I’m sure there’s more than enough food for everyone, so why don’t we —” 
Takei tries to yank the platter from your hands, treating like you’re nothing but an inconvenient pest on his way to suck up to Mikage, and you struggle to hold on. Mikage draws closer, and he’s right by your side when Takei finally wrestles the platter from your hands, and you collide with Mikage. He grabs your elbow, trying to steady you, but it’s too late— the two of you go down, his expensive drink sloshing over both of you as you grab at the table cloth nearby in a vain attempt for stability— but of course, that only sends you, Mikage and the tablecloth flying to the ground in a tangled heap. You screw your eyes shut, preparing for impact. 
A few seconds pass before you realize you’re not in any sort of pain at all. In fact, the ground under you is really soft. And warm. And— oh shit. You open your eyes to come face to face with Mikage, who you’re lying on top of. The hall is deathly silent, a silence that crawls on your skin. 
“Shit, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to— I didn’t realize— sir, just let me—” You attempt to rise, hands fumbling at the ground for purchase. 
“No, it’s okay, you didn’t do it on purpose—” Mikage tries to placate you, but, as you rise, you bump into the table next to you, hard enough to send it crashing over, expensive ceramic plates and vase filled with beautiful tropical flowers cracking on the floor. 
Only one thought flashes through your mind as the guests finally gasp and murmur at the damage. You’re so screwed. 
“What an unmannered servant. Who hired them?” 
“And to injure Mikage-san like that. Surely the family will ask for compensation.” 
“How dreadful! It would be much deserved.” 
You’re still standing numbly in the center of it all when someone grabs at your wrist, hard enough to bruise. “Tch. They shouldn’t have let people like you in here in the first place. Let’s see what the manager of your shitty little catering joint has to say about this behavior.” It’s Takei. He just can’t let up, can he? Asshole. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be in this situation at all. 
Your free hand twitches. Would the consequences of slapping him right here and now truly be that terrible? It’s not like you could dig the hole you were in any deeper. 
Just as you contemplate going through with slapping Takei, Mikage cuts in front of the two of you. “Takei-san,” he says, smiling, when his eyes are anything but. “I think you should let them go. They didn’t mean to do anything like that.” 
“Hah? But they embarrassed you, Mikage. In front of everyone. They should get punished at least.” 
“It was an accident. It was my fault, too, don’t you think? For not providing a better venue and… [smooth explanation here]” 
“But—” 
“You want to blame Mikage corporation for all of this?” 
Takei pales. “N-no, Mikage-san. I see your point.” 
[transition somehow here]
Mikage wasn’t as bad as you thought. He had saved you back there, after all. For a sheltered trust fund baby, he’s pretty cool. Is there something you could for him in return? You open your mouth to thank him when Mikage whirls around, eues shining likes he’s hit upon a brilliant ideas. 
“Go out with me,” he says earnestly.
Your jaw drops. Ah. Never mind. You were right in your initial assessment: there really is something wrong with rich people. This boy clearly has a few screws lose.

Note
Could I please have Dianthus Barbatus & Iori for the ask game?
Iori Suiseki:
Dianthus Barbatus - trying to make a loved one smile by any means necessary.
“Eh? A dinner party?”
Reo, Satsuki, and Hokusai stood staring at their beloved aniki, heads tilted in mild confusion at his sudden suggestion.
“Don’t make it sound so formal! Consider it a family dinner.”
The three younger members of AKYR were still puzzled but weren’t going to question Iori further; Zen had already began to dictate what they would be doing to help prepare. There was cleaning to be done, groceries to be bought, and of course one of them had to find the guest of honor to keep them busy until party time.
A surprise family dinner.
It felt wrong to only give out orders so Iori chose to join Zen in the kitchen despite the formers protest.
“Your idea was enough, waka, I think they’ll appreciate that you gathered all of us to celebrate.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t get in your way.” Iori waved it off, “It’s not too harmful for me to stand alongside and support you in here at least, right?”
Given only a few hours to prepare something akin to a feast, Zen feels the pressure but is well-supported; he might have been hesitant to give Iori orders at first, but once the dynamic in the kitchen was established they worked like a well-oiled machine. Iori wasn’t nearly as good as Zen was at preparing the food but once Hokusai returned with the rest of the groceries, he put another set of hands to work and found that everything was prepared right as it needed to be.
“You think this is what they need?”
Iori contemplated, mulling over Zen’s question in his head. Was this what you needed to feel better? Or was he acting selfishly, hoping to keep you close to not allow another incident like the one that had soured your mood? He wasn’t a stupid man, he knew he couldn’t protect you from everything, but…
His thoughts were always a blur when you were concerned, an uncharacteristic nervousness making its way inside him—was he doing the right thing? Was he pulling you closer or unintentionally pushing you into a category by considering you just another part of his family?
“Being with all of us like this… I’m sure it’ll be just what they need.” Iori smiled, feeling a little more confident in his answer. “And if not… We’ll find another way to cheer them up. It’s what we do.”

Betrothed - Chapter 8
Tumblr media
Summary: “Marry me Isagi.” Reo’s calm and collected voice snapped out Isagi’s any wandering thoughts and he faced him harshly.
The impact was much like a ball landed unexpectedly on an enemy’s territory out in the field.
“What the hell are you talking about?” He bit out, demanding answers from him.
Reo remained unperturbed and unruffled by his outburst which made Isagi more irritated with him.
“It’s just like what I said Isagi. Marry me. Or do you have any other options in mind? For sure, your analytical mind can catch up with me, right? Or do I need to spell it out for you?” Reo replied with an arched brow but his mauve orbs held a glint of amusement at the other’s expressions, taking in delight of the multitude of expressions that flitted across the male’s face in just a few seconds.
- Or a Reosagi marriage of convenience AU that no one asked for but I still deliver: Isagi loses on the match and his career is on the line until Reo swoops in with an offer that could still save him and his future.
Characters: Isagi Y. & Reo M.
Link for the 7th chapter:
(A/N: Rating has changed folks. Be warned ahead of time that there will be an explicit sexual content and gratuitous smut in this chapter so if this is not your cup of tea and wanted to retain your innocence then I simply suggest for you to hit the back button after reading this note. But if all is good, then feel free to join me in this hell and continue reading downwards. Also, this was inspired by the 1989 track of “Style.” When I heard that song, it captured Reo perfectly and probably the love relationship that one would have with him. Lastly, I don’t own anything from the franchise except this fic of mine. Respective ownership belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro & Yusuke Nomura for this wonderful manga and Taylor Swift for this beautiful yet classic song. I hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I did upon writing it).
Midnight
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh
It's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)
The light, ticking sounds were the only noise that can be heard in their room that night.
Reo was talking with some of his parent’s business associates outside as they will be meeting with him later that night at the hotel’s café when they go down there for a simple dinner.
Isagi didn’t know what constituted as a simple dinner with the rich people when they were practically invited to attend an evening luncheon meeting with the other guests that’s mostly around Reo’s social stratum.
So, again he needed to look his best.
He looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted his bowtie carefully and slicked back his hair with a comb after spraying it with some hairspray to keep its gravity and intact.
He wasn’t sure if he looked good enough to be by Reo’s side but he deemed it enough as presentable because he didn’t look like a drab. Fortunately, he was able to remember on how Reo’s mother adjusted his bowtie properly during their wedding so he wasn’t helpless this time.
Isagi was wearing a monochromatic gray tuxedo this time with a double-breasted navy-blue waistcoat and slim pants that gave contour to his shapely legs and thighs. He was still amid in making himself looked respectable in front of the mirror when he heard the door opened suddenly to reveal Reo who was making his way inside.
“Isagi are you done it’s almost 8—.” Reo stopped his sentence midway when he saw him and just stared at him for a moment.
His orchid irises raked over Isagi’s form from head to toe in silence.
This made Isagi paused in what he was doing and blinked owlishly at him. “Y-yeah. I’m almost done…?” He inwardly cursed at himself for stammering like an idiot in front of him. Damn it to hell. If Reo kept looking at him like that, Isagi might not be able to control his face any longer and he might’ve combusted in a multi shade of red because of self-consciousness and embarrassment!
“Oh right, right. I’ll just get something from the bedroom. Let’s both go down at the café once you’re done.” Reo cleared his throat before speaking then turned away and headed towards their bedroom hurriedly and didn’t wait for his response, leaving Isagi there with rubbing his nape awkwardly and feeling the tips of his ears turning into pinkish hues.
“Got it…” Isagi mumbled in response, trying in vain to fix his attention again on the mirror and fixed his bowtie but he could feel the slight tremor of his hands.
Fuck. Why was reacting like this? He could feel the loud beating of his heart inside his chest to the point that he might go deaf.
Just because Reo was staring at him like that didn’t mean he had to react like a bumbling adolescent idiot in front of him! It’s not like he likes him or anything—.
His mind came into a screeching halt and stared at himself in the mirror like he grew another head.
What the fuck.
Nope.
Nada.
Zilch.
He doesn’t have any feelings for him.
‘Don’t even go there Isagi.’ His mind warned him menacingly which made him grimaced inwardly.
“Get a damn grip over yourself Isagi and get your mind out of the gutter.” He berated himself in a harsh whisper before he took a deep breath and clapped his hands over his cheeks as if to rid out any of these nonsensical thoughts that continue to baffle and distract him.
They have a dinner event that they’re required to attend and he needed to have a presence of mind.
He just hoped that everything will go smoothly and they can sleep peacefully in their suite after this one.
And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads, but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
The hotel’s café was already filled with the crowd as numerous guests who were dressed to nines were gathered inside and speaking with each other casually when they arrived at the venue.
Isagi’s eyes roamed around the place and his attention was caught briefly by the glittering splendor of the chandeliers suspended elegantly above the ceiling.
There was a long table at the side of the place decorated with trays of food and a beautiful four story of chocolate fountain was displayed in the middle of the extravagant buffet.
‘So much for a simple dinner event huh?’ Isagi thought ironically as everything screamed of exorbitance and opulence around him. It reminded him of those parties arranged by Gatsby on the novel he read at Chigiri’s place where the man himself always arranged flamboyant events like this for rich people.
“There you are! We thought you two wouldn’t be able to make it since y’know this is supposed to be a special getaway for a newly married couple such as both of you.” A male, gregarious voice snapped him out of his thoughts and caught Isagi’s attention as his gaze fell over at the smiling blond, middled aged man who clapped Reo by the shoulders.
“Of course, we’ll be here Mr. Smith. Wouldn’t miss out an important event such as this especially if the invitation was extended to us personally. It’s an honor to be here.” Reo replied smoothly before he added something and finally introduced Isagi to the man and to his other business associates beside him.
“By the way, this is my lovely husband, Isagi Yoichi. Yoichi, meet Mr. Smith, Director Allen, Managing Director Cooperhouse and Secretary Brown from Glasshouse Corporation.” A diplomatic smile hovered around his lips.
Isagi managed to smile at them courteously and extended his hand for a handshake. “Hello sirs. It’s nice to meet you all.”
Mr. Smith and the others shook his hand warmly, smiling at him. “So, you’re the one Reo’s speaking about. It’s quite true that he got a lovely and a talented husband in the field of soccer.”
Isagi tried to remain graceful and kept the polite smile on his lips even though simple compliments such as this left him bashful most of the time. “As Reo had said, it’s an honor to be here and to finally meet all of you. Thank you for having us.”
For the next few minutes, they exchange pleasantries and small talk before Reo was caught up in a small group and smiled apologetically at Isagi because he left him to his own devices for the next few more minutes.
Isagi could only smile back and nodded in understanding before he decided to roam around the place and ended up taking the glass of champagne being served by the waiters around.
He resisted the urge to yawn as he remained upright and presentable.
Damn it. This was one of the reasons why he didn’t like going to events like this.
Stuffy people and lavish crowds were not his thing overall.
Before he knew it, he was already reaching out for another glass of champagne and sipping on it, inwardly wishing that this dinner event could be over soon.
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
Reo didn’t know how many minutes had passed but he eventually had to bid goodbye to the people he was conversing with.
As much as he wanted to keep on talking with them, Isagi was still with him and he didn’t want to appear a neglectful husband in this crowd.
Besides he already had a bit too much alcohol in the system as he couldn’t outright reject their business associates on the offering of the glasses of whiskey around him.
‘Shit. I hope I didn’t lose him in here.’ Reo thought with a grimace as his eyes searched for Isagi’s presence around the place. He remained cool outside but he’s getting frantic and frankly tipsy.
Nevertheless, his gaze narrowed when he finaally saw Isagi sitting at one of the tables and laughing at some guy with brown hair conversing with him. He ignored the pesky feeling arose within him at the sight.
Well, he couldn’t fault Isagi for that as he was gone for how long he knew and probably grew bored out of his mind.
But still…
A melodious, inviting sound surrounded the whole place after a moment, signaling for a slow dance between partners.
Luck must be on his side because Reo took the opportunity gladly and strode around but not before getting a glass of whiskey again from one of the waiters who’s offering around the guests.
He drank it in one go and the hot, burning sensation sizzled around his throat going through his veins. Any remaining inhibitions or hesitations melted off his body as he focused solely on the dark blue haired striker alone.
“There you are dear. May I have this dance? Surely you wouldn’t mind that bud will you if I have a bit of a time with my husband?” Reo smiled congenially at them but his purple irises glinted sharply at the other guy who was beside Isagi.
If Isagi was surprised at his sudden appearance, his face didn’t show it as he smiled back tightly at him.
“Well of course not! Sure, go-ahead sir and enjoy.” The brown-haired male smiled at them and quickly left them.
Reo finally took Isagi’s hand and led him to the dancefloor of the hall room.
“Must be pretty interesting out there while I’m gone.” Reo commented lightly as his hands wrapped around Isagi’s waist and started to sway at the music.
“It is. But maybe it’s more fun on your side since you enjoy talking with your buddies out there.” Isagi replied in a low, sardonic voice as he placed both of his hands on his shoulders and tried to follow the other movements.
“Well, I can’t exactly leave a pleasant conversation without seemingly rude so I have to endure it.”
“And I can’t exactly reject every person who wanted to talk to me earlier. I don’t wanna tarnish my husband’s name by being an unpleasant person around.” Isagi countered as his blue irises clashed against Reo’s deep, pomegranate ones.
Their hot, languorous breaths mixed with alcohol brushed teasingly against their skin at their proximity, creating a silent tension that gripped both as they continued dancing together.
No words were spoken between the two of them after that before Reo finally let him go as the song ended.
The night is young but they both knew that this dinner event was the least of their concerns and interests.
“It’s getting late. What do you say in heading back upstairs?” Reo asked casually but his smoldering gaze almost made Isagi breathless at the sight.
“Right. Sure.” Was the only thing that Isagi could say as he followed the other leaving the café.
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road, mm
Takes me home
The lights are off, he's taking off his coat, mm, yeah
I say, "I heard, oh
That you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl"
He says, "What you heard is true, but I
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you and I"
I said, "I've been there too a few times"
Together, they spent the remaining time stumbling hazily back to their suite.
Both were drunk but surprisingly Reo was more in a drunken stupor than Isagi considering that Reo was now giggling childishly and humming out a tune a bit loudly much to Isagi’s chagrin and embarrassment.
Isagi was now tipsy and was on the verge of being stupidly drunk as well if he didn’t utterly forced himself to stop drinking from the glasses of champagne and other liquors that the waiters offered around to their guests.
“God Reo. Just help me out here will you and walk properly! I can almost sink to the ground by your drunken ass putting all your weight into me.” Isagi grumbled as they trudged haphazardly into the quiet corridors going to their suite.
“Loosen up will you Isagi-kun.” Reo replied teasingly before a laughter erupted from his lips again which made Isagi shook his head before they finally made it inside their suite and closed the door behind them.
Isagi begrudgingly hoisted Reo up going to their bedroom and was trying to get him lie on the bed peacefully before he lost his balance and they came stumbling down on the mattress with Isagi landing on the bed and Reo on top of him.
Isagi stared at him wide eyed. Reo’s face was only a few inches apart. And if he moved closer, he’ll probably end up kissing him.
So, he should push him away, right?
But why the fuck he’s not doing anything but instead stared at him like a lovesick idiot who was anticipating the other’s next move?
Isagi swallowed thickly and Reo’s gaze seemed to follow his every movement.
But he knew the moment that Reo closed the distance between the two of them and captured his lips in a feathery kiss that promised of everything yet nothing at the same time, it was his imminent downfall.
Isagi could taste the sharp tang of whiskey from Reo’s lips. But the other’s kiss grew fervent and hungry. It made him dizzier and more intoxicated that Isagi could only gripped the lapels of his shirt for support and guidance as he felt that he might fall apart if he didn’t hold on to him right there and then.
But after a moment, Isagi suddenly pulled away with a groan leaving his lips as he broke off the kiss to heave some deep breaths with Reo automatically latching his mouth into the pale column of his throat and letting his tongue darted out to lick, kiss and left some love bites on the sensitive expanse of his skin which made Isagi gasped and turned into a moaning mess.
Isagi knew that they should stop. He should stop him rather because there was still an ounce of lucidity clinging into him despite the inebriation, he felt from the alcohol he drank earlier. However, his body was not cooperating with him and developed a mind of its own and seemed to be enjoying the electrifying kisses and sensations that Reo gave to him that left him wanting for more.
If it’s so wrong why the hell did it seem so right?
Isagi knew that this could be his utter downfall when he let Reo kissed him as if there was no tomorrow waiting for them and let his hands roamed all over his body that left a trail of fire. But right now, he couldn’t care less about his future and focused more on the present which was the mind-numbing pleasure that Reo was giving to him.
Both of his hands had made it into his scalp and carded his fingers through his hair as Reo continued showering his neck with kitten licks and fiery kisses before it travelled downwards, settling into his exposed collarbone after Reo’s hands unbuttoned his shirt where his leaned chest peeked through the fabric and the draft of cold air from the air conditioner made Isagi shivered from cold breeze and hot breaths of Reo crawling over his skin simultaneously.
“Ngh… Reo… Ah… That’s…” Isagi gasped lightly and pulled on his hair reflexively when the onslaught of pleasure hit right through him upon feeling Reo’s warm tongue encircling on one of his sensitive nubs across his chest which grew erect and tinted with darker hues of pink when it was lavish with enthusiastic kisses, licking and sucking from the other.
“Hm? What is it?” Reo asked huskily as his drunken gaze landed up on him but his tongue continued to circle around Isagi’s nipples teasingly.
“I-I’m s-sensitive around t-there…” Isagi stammered, a delicious moan leaving his lips as Reo continued his ministrations against his chest, his body shaking like a leaf underneath.
“That’s good because it means I’m doing it right.” Reo shot him a devious smirk before he focused his attention on his body again and let his heated lips dove right into his chest hungrily again with the intent to lavish it with passionate kisses and love bites that left Isagi breathless and mind floating in cloud nine.
As moments passed them by, Isagi found himself naked beneath him as Reo finally undressed him successfully and threw his last piece of garment haphazardly across the room. Despite the cloud of haze circling on his judgment, a tiny part of himself felt embarrassed at having been exposed like this in front of Reo and he could feel himself looking away from him.
“Hey, hey. Look at me pretty boy. Don’t shy away from me now.” Reo remarked in equal tenderness and silkiness as one of his fingers tilted around on Isagi’s chin and turned him around his direction so that he can face him. It revealed the other sporting a faint blush on his cheeks which he found cute yet sexy at the same time.
“Not f-fair… I’m totally naked while you’re still fully dressed on the other hand.” Isagi grumbled weakly which made Reo chuckled lightly under his breath.
“You wanna undress me then? Go ahead. I’ll grant my dear husband’s wish to take them off.” He replied in a teasing yet seductive voice that sent Isagi’s heart somersaulting inside his chest.
“God, you’re still insufferable even if you’re drunk as hell.” Isagi scoffed lightly to hide the reddening of his cheeks and the nervous anticipation creeping up on him slowly as he got up from the mattress and kneeled in front of him.
His hands were slightly shaking as he started to take off his vest and then unbuttoned his white shirt. Isagi refused to look at him on the eye and focused his gaze on his task of undressing him. But he couldn’t help the light gasp that escaped his lips when the sight of his well-sculpted chest peeked through his shirt. The well-defined muscles and lean frame were finally revealed in front of his eyes. Isagi could only stare in a quiet yet begrudging admiration that Reo’s body was temptingly beautiful as his face.
Reo seemed to notice the other’s expression on his face which made him chuckle huskily under his breath.
“Like what you see?” Reo asked playfully.
That seemed to shake off the stupor from Isagi’s mind and brought him back to the present. He glowered at him out of embarrassment of being caught ogling at him before he successfully discarded his vest and shirt and threw it recklessly on the ground.
“Shut up you dumbass. I’ll take off your pants now.” He replied testily as his hands were now on the button of his pants.
He felt Reo’s gaze burning on him but he refused to give in and looked back. Instead, he focused on unbuttoning his pants then slowly unzipping it. His breath hitched as he caught the sight of an elegant looking pair of black retro styled boxers which hugged his thighs perfectly and revealed the other’s plump derriere and the shape of the other’s cock which was now erect. It made Isagi’s heart jumped out of his throat and swallowed thickly.
Fuck. He could see how lengthy it was and how wide its girth was through the fabric of his damn boxers alone which was probably seducing him.
‘Do I also need to take it off?’ He thought hesitantly before he slapped himself inwardly.
Now was not the time to back off.
If Reo witnessed his second-guessing nature, then he’ll probably tease and mock him for being a scaredy cat. And Isagi was having none of that bullshit.
He doesn’t back away from any challenges even if it’s something like this.
So, without further ado, he placed his hands on the waistband of his boxers and took it off in one go, discarding it successfully into the ground.
His mouth watered at the sight. Reo’s dick is as pretty as his face. It’s not a monstrous cock. But it’s a curvy, lengthy one with a wide girth and small veins on the side. Its tip was a deep shade of lustful pink, precum was slowly dripping on it. Isagi found it hard to move, breathe nor think logically at the sight of Reo’s cock and naked body in front of him.
His eyes couldn’t help but to roam over the rest of him and he noticed his shapely legs and toned thighs that’s tantalizing him to be smothered by those lusciously beneath them. His robust arms were also prominent in this angle because of his long and active career in soccer previously. Reo wasn’t a brawn muscly type like Kunigami nor Barou. Nevertheless, he possessed a lean svelte yet well sculpted frame that could rival the sophistication and beauty of the statues of Gods in Rome.
In a moment of dazed curiosity, one of his fingers brushed unconsciously to the tip of Reo’s cock which earned a hiss and low groan from the other which caught his attention. There was a look hazy pleasure and want coloring his face and Isagi decided that he really liked that kind of expression on his face. Maybe it was the alcohol or the inhibition melting away from him but Isagi grew bolder and finally wrapped his hand slowly around his cock, giving it a teasing stroke, which drew a lecherous moan from the other.
“Fuck. You like that don’t you?” Isagi breathed out, his blue eyes turning into a deeper shade of indigo as his pupils were blown wide with lust and want while he gazed intently at Reo’s reaction.
“Fuck Isagi. I didn’t know you have it in you.” Reo laughed breathlessly only to be interrupted by a series of moans as Isagi stroked him faster and harder.
“You’re not the only one who can tease me all the time my dear, loving husband.” Isagi drawled out mockingly but it only made the arousal in Reo spiked higher, seeing this kind of boldness from Isagi alluring and invigorating at the same time.
Isagi wore a drunken smirk on his face as he continued stroking him vigorously, stealing Reo’s breath and made his body shook as the electrifying sensation shot through his veins. One of his hands reached out to Isagi’s wrist and made him paused on his movements.
“If we wanna make this last then you need to stop doing that.” He growled out lowly, his eyes flashing darkly.
“Or else what?” Isagi taunted back in a silky voice.
“Or else I’m gonna lose it and I won’t be able to do this.” Reo replied huskily as he finally pushed Isagi down the mattress and loomed over him which made the other widened his eyes for a fraction of second, his heart thundering wildly inside his chest as he could only stare at Reo’s next actions in a stupefied yet mesmerized manner.
Reo situated on top of him and in between his legs before he took both of the other’s legs and wrapped it around his waist firmly for support. With the unbridled passion and impatience thrumming on his veins, he didn’t waste his time as he finally gave a one, swift thrust and breached his sensitive walls that made them gasped and moaned out in unison at the overwhelming sensation that shot right through them.
Isagi froze beneath him, his breath got caught in his throat as he stared wide eyed at Reo. He swallowed thickly as he could feel Reo’s throbbing cock brushing along his velvety walls and stretching him to the limit. He felt like he was being torn in half because of how big he was.
“Fuck.” Isagi gasped lightly as his arms held into his back for dear life and buried his nails along his back which made the other hissed at the sudden sensation.
Despite the drunken haze that Reo was in, he recognized the tone and expression on Isagi’s face alone which halted his movements and try to give him time to adjust to their current position even if his body was itching to rail him on the mattress mercilessly like an animal in heat.
Reo couldn’t help but to lean down on his face and brushed his lips soothingly against Isagi’s lips as if he wanted to make him relax with his kisses alone. “Ah, fuck. Isagi try to relax, will you? I-I’m not gonna move until you tell me to.” He murmured against his lips as Reo tried his very best to ignore the other’s hot breath brushing against his own, the feel of the other’s legs tangled on his hips seductively and the way their bodies were so close that the slightest friction against them set their nerves on fire.
Isagi automatically reciprocated his soft kiss with a gentle coax on his own, his mind was going elsewhere as he could feel the warm, dizzying sensation of his lips against his and how the pain was being slowly replaced by an addicting pleasure that coursed along his body as he felt his cock was going much deeper inside of him and going through the intimate spots that he never knew he possessed within himself.
“R-reo… Y-you can t-try to move now…” He mumbled hotly against his mouth as he kissed him now more hungrily and couldn’t resist but to grind down teasingly beneath him which earned a guttural moan from the other.
“God fucking damn it Yoichi. I swear you enjoy teasing the hell out of me. You’re gonna regret it, you naughty little vixen.” Reo replied throatily before he pulled away suddenly and slammed right into him which made Isagi moaned out loudly in delight and surprise.
“Ah, Reo! Fuck! S-slow d-down…! T-too much…!” He mewled like a helpless kitten beneath him as Reo’s thrusts grew more vigorous and enthusiastic, plowing him recklessly on the mattress which made the bed creaked viciously against their wild movements.
“Such a naughty little liar too my dear Yoichi. Your mouth wants me to slow down but your body tells me otherwise and is way more honest.” Reo cooed teasingly as he stared down at the pleasure ridden face of Isagi. Drool was dripping out of his mouth, face completely flushed, pupils were blown wide with lust; ardor and sinful moans were pouring out of his red bitten lips.
“Ngh… F-fuck you…” Isagi glared at him weakly before a helpless mewl escaped from his lips as Reo continued to piston his insides in reckless abandon, hitting his sweet spot repeatedly.
“I am fucking you properly Yoichi. Or my husband would like to take it nice and slow?” Reo asked with a saccharine smile on his lips as he slowly halted his movements which made Isagi whined needily.
“S-stop t-teasing me… Damn it Reo… Don’t you dare fucking stop…!” Isagi warned but it came out as a breathless plea for him to move.
“But I thought you wanted me to slow down?” Reo replied innocently.
Isagi wanted to punch the living daylights out of him but the wanton need of his body to be filled up by him won so instead he decided to play along with him.
One of his hands took him by the nape and brought Reo’s face down closer to him, looking at him with unabashed need and want which Reo took by surprise.
Isagi captured his lips in a slow, sensual kiss, his tongue coaxing gently for the other to grant him a deeper access towards the entrance of his mouth. As if moth being drawn to a flame, Reo slowly closed his eyes and let himself be reeled to the sweet, languorous embrace of Isagi before he suddenly realized through his haze that it was a tempestuous trap laid in front of him as Isagi rolled his hips beneath him and wrapped his legs tightly against his hips which made him gasped and groaned against his mouth as he felt his cock brushed deeper on his silky yet scorching walls of intense need. Isagi didn’t waste his time as he plundered his tongue inside Reo’s mouth and licked at the sensitive crevices that had him moaning hotly against him.
“Ngh… Fuck. Isagi…” He groaned lightly as Isagi continued his ministrations and grinded teasingly under him.
“C’mon Reo… Give it to me now… P-please… I know you want to…” Isagi whined softly but his eyes told him a different story as it gleamed darkly against him which made Reo’s blood roared in his veins.
With a one, last swift kiss, Reo pulled away licking his bottom lip as he shot a predatory gaze towards Isagi which made the other shivered deliciously underneath him.
Fuck. How could he forget? He almost laughs at his brief lapse of judgment as Isagi can be cunning and devious when being challenged especially if he wanted to get what he wants.
He almost fell for it.
Almost.
“Alright. Playtime’s over. Don’t blame me for pushing my buttons my dear husband.” He growled lightly before he gripped his waist tightly which might leave bruises tomorrow. He pulled away and snapped his hips, thrusting forward with such ferocity that had Isagi mewling like a bitch in heat and eyes rolling back in ecstasy and pleasure.
“Fuck yes! H-harder! God don’t stop! Fuck Reo! Why’re so big…!” Isagi babbled incoherently as he let himself be swept away by the storm of passion engulfing them and let Reo pounced on him repeatedly that had his insides screaming out in delight every time his cock throbbed lasciviously around him.
“Maybe you’re the one to blame here hmm? Teasing and fooling me like that Yoichi… Bet you really like it huh? Being use as a fleshlight like this.” Reo chuckled darkly only to be interrupted by a series of moans as Isagi dug grooves on his back, the pain and pleasure hitting his veins simultaneously.
“R-reo… I-I c-can’t… I’m g-gonna… Please let me come…!” Isagi whimpered as tears of pleasure streamed down his cheeks.
Reo’s other hand had made its way to his neglected cock and stroke it furiously, the sensation doubling over as he continued to rail him wildly on the bed.
“Then come for me Yoichi… I know you want to…” Reo whispered huskily and Isagi came out with a cry leaving his lips, painting his hand and their chests with his glistening cum.
A weak moan left Isagi’s lips as Reo continued to pound on him recklessly, chasing his own high.
“Fuck Yoichi. I’m c-close… I n-need t-to p—.”
Reo stopped midsentence as his eyes grew wide when he felt that Isagi’s legs wrapped around him like a vice and stared at him incredulously.
“Inside Reo.”
“What?”
“I want you to finish it inside of me… Please…” Isagi smiled drunkenly at him which made Reo lost it and leaned down to smash their lips together in a wild and dirty kiss before his body shook like a leaf when he reached his climax and painted his insides with his thick, hot ropes of cum.
Isagi moaned salaciously against his mouth upon being filled up to his brim instantaneously.
After riding his high, Reo slowly pulled and rolled away, landing on the other side of the bed as he heaved a deep breath, his heart still thundering wildly inside his chest.
He was about to speak when he turned around and realized that Isagi passed out beside him from the combined intoxication and exhaustion of receiving the brunt of their “session together.”
Reo couldn’t help the amused yet soft smile lingered on his lips, looking at him before he took some tissues from bedside table and wiped his body away quickly of the cum and sweat covering his skin and threw it away on the nearest trash bin.
Too exhausted to even realize what he did next, he pulled Isagi closer to his frame and let the other rested his head against his chest, not wanting to think about his actions and the next day that would come.
Oh, you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down (now we go), we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
