Letterman Jacket đ
You didnât knock.
The door slammed open against the wall with a thud, reverberating through the quiet of the gym offices as you stepped in like a storm on legs. Iwaizumi barely looked up from his tablet, but the hard flicker of his eyes said everything.
âYou want to tell me what the hell this is?â You threw the clipboard down onto his deskâhard enough that the pens rattled.
He set the tablet down slowly, deliberately, like he was resisting the urge to match your energy. âYouâll have to be more specific. I get a lot of aggressive paperwork these days.â
You narrowed your eyes. âThe new conditioning plan. The one that overemphasizes lower-body strength for half the defensive lineâincluding Yaku, who, if you remember, has two prior knee injuries and doesnât need another one.â
âItâs a generalized strength cycle,â he said, already starting to sound annoyed. âAnd Yakuâs cleared. His knees arenât glass.â
You leaned forward, voice clipped. âAnd heâs cleared with a note that says he needs flexibility emphasis. Youâre pushing reps on a recovering joint. Thatâs not generalized, thatâs reckless.â
His jaw ticked. âIâm not pushing anything he canât handle. Heâs an elite athlete, not a porcelain doll.â
You scoffed, shaking your head, pacing a few steps across the room. âJesus, Hajime, sometimes I think you forget youâre not just coaching weight numbersâyouâre managing people. People with injuries, with thresholds. If he gets benched because you want him to hit a personal best on a squatââ
ââThen thatâs on me,â Iwaizumi cut in, standing now, matching your gaze, his voice sharp. âNot on you.â
You turned slowly, cold fury in your expression. âYouâre damn right it wonât be on me. Because Iâm not signing off on that.â
He stepped around the desk. âYou donât get to unilaterally veto a team decision.â
âYou donât get to override medical flags like youâre some goddamn authority on joint physiology.â You jabbed a finger into his chest. âYour job is to keep them strong. Mine is to keep them playing. If theyâre hurt, no one wins.â
The tension hung thick between you both, barely bridled, mouths drawn tight like you were both holding back everything you really wanted to say.
âGod, youâre infuriating,â he muttered under his breath.
âRight back at you.â
You turned sharply, storming to the door. You needed air. You needed to not strangle a nationally-ranked strength coach in the middle of an Olympic facility.
But when you threw the door open, two bodies fell inward with a crash.
Bokuto hit the ground first, limbs flailing like heâd just been knocked out of a tree. Atsumu came next, barely catching himself on the wall, eyes wide as he winced dramatically.
âOwâshitââ
âUh⊠hi?â Bokuto grinned sheepishly from the floor. âWe were just⊠stretching.â
You stared down at them, blinking once. Then twice.
âStretching,â you repeated flatly.
âIn the hallway,â Atsumu added quickly, brushing himself off. âGotta stay limber, you would know Doc.â
Your glare couldâve turned them to ash.
Behind you, Iwaizumi groaned under his breath.
âIâm going to kill both of you,â you muttered.
âNo need!â Bokuto said, already scrambling back. âWe were just leaving! Right, âTsumu?â
âYup. Definitely not eavesdropping. Totally respect privacy.â
They both darted off like startled dogs, leaving behind only the faint sound of snickering down the hall.
You didnât say another word. You just stepped out, slammed the door behind you, and willed your heart to stop pounding through your ribs.
â
The door had barely stopped vibrating when Iwaizumi let out a slow, audible sigh. He turned back to his desk, ran a hand through his hair, and stared blankly at the clipboard youâd left behind like it was personally mocking him.
God, you were impossible.
And you were right.
He wasnât about to admit thatânot to your face, not in front of a pair of eavesdropping idiots, and definitely not when your voice still echoed in his head like a challenge he hadnât yet figured out how to win.
âYo, Iwa.â
Iwaizumi turned, slowly, to see Atsumu leaning against the gym wall with all the subtlety of a spotlight. Bokuto was standing beside him, whispering something that earned him a smack on the arm.
âWhat,â Iwaizumi snapped. Not a question. A warning.
Atsumu raised his hands innocently. âNothinâ. Just, uh⊠wonderinâ if weâre still runninâ through defensive drills. Or if you need a minute to, yâknow, recover.â
âIâm fine.â
âYou sure?â Bokuto grinned, bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet. ââCause that sounded brutal. Like, she murdered you with words.â
Iwaizumi narrowed his eyes. âDo either of you want to do ten extra sets of burpees?â
âShutting up!â Atsumu said quickly, throwing a thumbs-up before jogging off toward the court.
Bokuto lingered a second longer. âHey,â
Iwaizumi looked up again.
âSheâs not wrong. Yakuâs been wincing during cooldowns.â
Then he jogged off too, leaving Iwaizumi alone with nothing but the echo of your voice and the weight of the truth.
He grunted under his breath, shaking his head as he walked toward the training area, jaw tight. His athletes were waiting. The whistle was in his hand. Heâd deal with you later.
But even as he barked out the next drill set, his mind drifted back to the fire in your voice, the way you jabbed a finger into his chest like you werenât afraid of anythingânot even him.
And for some goddamn reason, that wasnât just infuriating.
It was distracting.
Worse: it was getting harder to ignore.
The shop is quiet, bathed in the golden light of the early evening, the kind that settles over wood and stone like a warm sigh. A gentle hush lingers in the space, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator and the occasional click of the camera shutter. Most of the chairs are stacked, the door flipped to its "CLOSED" sign, and the scent of vinegar and freshly cooked rice still lingers in the air. You're both still insideâOsamu behind the counter in his slightly wrinkled apron, you crouched near the front display trying to get the perfect shot of a tuna nigiri against the fading light.
Youâd met in collegeâhim, a culinary student with arms always dusted in flour or sea salt, and you, a sharp-tongued marketing major who could charm a room with a smile and tear apart a branding pitch in under a minute.
You clicked almost immediately. It started with coffee-fueled group projects, late-night ramen runs, and long, quiet study sessions where neither of you said much but never seemed to want to leave. By the time you graduated, you'd both moved back home, and when he opened up his own nigiri shop, it felt natural to call you in to help make it shine.
Osamuâs had a crush on you since your second year. Heâs certain of it. The first time you snapped at him for being late and then bought him lunch anyway, he was done for. But he never said anythingânot when you were swamped with internship applications, not when he got too busy building his dream from scratch. He just... kept you around. Close. Safe. Until now.
âYouâre supposed to be takinâ photos,â he says, voice low and amused as he leans against the counter, watching you from across the room.
âI am,â you say around a mouthful of nigiri, holding your phone up with one hand, chopsticks in the other. âIâm multitasking.â
Osamu lifts a brow. âThat your fancy marketing term for stealinâ my hard work?â
You grin, chewing contentedly. âNot stealing. Quality control.â
He huffs a laugh, arms crossed, apron a little wrinkled from the long day. Youâve been at this for hoursâprepping a new campaign for the shopâs upcoming anniversary special, trying to capture the perfect lighting, the perfect angle, the perfect bite. The trouble is, the food is too good. And youâre hungry. And Osamuâs expression every time you sneak another piece is too funny not to provoke.
âYâknow,â he says, walking over to the bar where youâve made a makeshift photography studio of cutting boards and empty plates, âI couldâve just hired a photographer.â
âYeah, but they wouldnât have my good side memorized.â
He pauses behind you, and you feel his gaze on the back of your head before he leans slightly over your shoulder to glance at your camera roll.
âHalf these are just you eatinâ food,â he mutters.
âWell, you can tell it's good food.â
âYer a menace.â
You laugh, the sound bouncing off the walls of the quiet shop. As you're reaching for another piece of nigiri, he eyes you from behind the counter.
âOi,â he says, pointing a chopstick at you, âI said stop eatinâ 'em all.â
You pop the bite into your mouth with a grin. âOh, c'mon. This is my payment for staying late and taking these photos.â
Osamu raises a brow. âYeah, well, you canât get the damn photos if thereâs nothinâ left to shoot.â
You reach forward and pluck another piece off the plate just to spite him.
Osamu throws his head back with a groan, but the sound blends into a laughâlow and unfiltered. His arms uncross, one hand resting on the counterâs edge as he leans forward, shaking his head.
His smile cracks wide across his face, tugging at the corners of his eyes, and for a moment, he just watches you with something helplessly fond behind the amusement. His shoulders lift slightly with each breath, the kind of laugh that takes over your whole body before you even realize it. Thereâs no trace of the usual teasing smirk, no sarcasmâjust the kind of joy that escapes when you stop trying to hide it.
âHeyâstop eatinâ all theâugh, I love you.â
The words slip out in the middle of a breathless laugh, tangled in warmth and amusement, tumbling into the open before either of you can brace for the impact. His voice trails off at the end, like his brain only just caught up with his mouthâand then the moment hangs.
Still.
Your fingers hover above the plate, chopsticks clutched mid-air, and your smile falters as the weight of what he just said sinks in. The warmth still lingering in your chest twists into something deeperâsharper.
Both of you freeze, suspended in golden light and thick, heady silence. His laughter dies like a flame catching wind.
Your hand stops mid-air, halfway to your mouth. â...What did you say?â
Osamu straightens up like he touched a live wire. âNothinâ. I didnâtâI mean, that wasnâtââ
âNo no,â you say, slowly lowering the chopsticks, your eyes narrowing with disbelief and something elseâsomething softer. âDid you just say you love me?â
âI didnât mean to say it like that!â he blurts, already rubbing the back of his neck. âI was justâya were beinâ you, and I laughed, and it slipped out, but I do, I mean, I didnât plan to justâshitââ
You cut off his rambling by stepping forward and wrapping your arms around him in a sudden, fierce hug.
Osamu goes completely still for a second, his breath shallow as his arms remain half-curled like heâs not sure if heâs allowed to hold you yet. Then you feel the tension give way as he exhales against your hair, and his arms tighten around you just slightly, enough to pull you flush against his chest.
You bury your face into the soft cotton of his shirt, the scent of soy and rice grounding you. âI love you too, you moron.â
You feel his breath stutter against your temple, and you tilt your head up just enough to see his eyesâsoft, stunned, and a little dazed.
"Took you long enough," you add with a teasing smile.
He huffs a laugh, low and disbelieving, the sound rumbling through his chest. His shoulders sag, relief pouring through him in quiet waves. âYouâre not just sayinâ that?â he asks, voice rough at the edges, like he still doesnât fully believe he didnât just hallucinate this entire thing.
You grin. âWould I lie to the man who makes me free food every week?â
He groans, dragging a hand down his face before ruffling the back of your hair affectionately. âUnbelievable,â he mutters, but his tone is nothing but fond.
Heâs smiling, really smiling, like the kind of smile that lives in the corners of his mouth even after it fades, the kind you remember for days. His hand finds yours without hesitation, fingers curling through yours like heâs done it a thousand times in his head already. You stay like that for a momentâstanding in the golden hush of the closed shop, surrounded by the scent of rice and vinegar and the lingering echo of laughter.
âYou still owe me promotional photos,â he murmurs against your lips.
You pull back just enough to smile. âOnly if I get to eat the props after.â
âFine. But Iâm writinâ you off as an expense.â
The bar was crowdedânot uncomfortably, but just enough that the air pulsed with low music and the warm scent of whiskey and fryer oil. The lights were low, warm and golden, casting soft shadows over tables cluttered with drinks and peeling coaster edges. Glass clinked softly in the background, a lazy rhythm to the Friday night energy building in waves.
You were leaning against the bar, waiting for your drinks, while KyĆtani had ducked away to use the bathroom. Your phone buzzed in your pocket, but you ignored it, eyes on the bartender shaking cocktails two seats down.
Which was, in hindsight, the exact moment the universe decided to test your patience.
âHey there,â came a voice to your leftâslurred, low, and too close. You caught the sour tang of beer on his breath before you saw his face.
You didnât turn immediately. Youâd felt it comingâlike a storm you could smell in the air.
âI been watchinâ you from across the bar,â the man said, a lazy, drunken confidence in his voice. âYou look like you could use some company.â
You exhaled slowly through your nose. âIâm good, thanks.â
He chuckled. âCâmon. Donât be like that. Iâll buy you a drink, sweetheart.â
You turned your head, offering a cool, unimpressed stare. His eyes were glassy, cheeks blotched red from too much alcohol, and his grin was the kind of smarmy that made your skin crawl.
âYou donât wanna do that,â you said flatly.
The guy blinked. âWhat? Buy a pretty girl a drink?â
âNo.â You shifted your weight, voice firm. âHit on someone whoâs taken.â
He raised a brow, like he thought you were bluffing. âTaken? Donât see anyone here. You ditched him already?â
You narrowed your eyes. âYou need to back off.â
But he didnât. Of course he didnât. Men like that never did.
Instead, he laughedâloudly, like heâd just heard the best joke of the night. âRelax, baby. Youâre hot. Iâm just tryinâ to show some appreciation.â
You turned back toward the bar, trying to signal the bartender, but the guy didnât take the hint. You felt him step closer, invading your space. Then his hand brushed your armâtoo familiar, too bold.
That was when you felt it.
The air shifted. Like the pressure dropped.
A presence behind youâheavy, hot, and unmistakable.
KyĆtani.
A shadow passed over the drunk guyâs face, but he didnât turn fast enough.
KyĆtani didnât speak. He didnât posture. He didnât warn.
He just swung.
A blur of movement exploded at your sideâa crack, loud and sharp, followed by the thump of a body hitting the ground. The guy lay sprawled across the scuffed floorboards, groaning, his hand cupping his jaw as shocked silence rippled through the nearby tables.
KyĆtani stood over him, jaw clenched, one hand still curled into a tight fist, his broad chest rising and falling as he stared down at the guy like he was debating whether to throw another punch for good measure.
You didnât flinch. You didnât even blink.
You just looked down at the groaning man and said, with a shrug and a sip of your half-warm drink, âTold you so.â
KyĆtani turned to you, golden eyes burning with residual fury, scanning your face and arms like he needed confirmation you were untouched. âHe touch you?â
âBarely,â you muttered. âHe tried.â
KyĆtani grunted low in his throat, gaze snapping back to the guy on the ground. âYouâre lucky I stopped at one.â
The bartender said nothing. No one did.
You grabbed your second drink off the bar, rolling your eyes. âGuess I need a new gin and tonic now.â
KyĆtani huffed, throwing a protective arm around your shoulder, steering you away from the scene. âLetâs go. I hate this place anyway.â
âYou hate every place.â
âNot true,â he muttered, hand tightening at your waist. âI like the ones where people donât talk to you.â
You laughed under your breath as the two of you disappeared into the cooler night air, KyĆtaniâs hand never leaving you for a second.
And as you walked, he leaned in, voice low and unrepentant.
âNext guy that touches you,â he growled, âIâm breakinâ his ribs.â
You smirked, leaning your head against his shoulder. âI know.â
The night had no plans. And that was the plan.
Warm lamplight painted the apartment in soft amber hues, flickering gently across a half-finished bottle of wine, socks abandoned near the doorway, and the lazy sprawl of two bodies tangled beneath a fleece blanket on the couch. Outside, the city murmured in the distanceâtraffic, wind, someoneâs music a few blocks away. But here, the only sounds were the low thrum of a playlist you both forgot to turn off and the occasional clink of glass as you sipped.
Suna Rintarou sat at the opposite end of the couch, half-lidded eyes drifting toward the TV screen though he hadnât looked at it in twenty minutes. One knee bent, the other foot on the floor, hoodie loose around his shoulders, collarbone peeking out where the fabric hung unevenly. His phone rested facedown on the coffee tableâabandoned, for once.
You lay curled into the armrest, sipping your wine, cheek pressed into the pillow, watching him with the slow, foggy fondness of someone three glasses deep and completely content.
He looked relaxed. Comfortable. Maybe a little too smug.
"You ever get bored of being effortlessly cool?" you asked, voice low and amused.
Suna didn't even glance at you. âYou ever get bored of talking out your ass?â
You smirked into your glass. âMm. Nope.â
The silence between you was warm. Familiar. Filled with shared breath and the lazy weight of the night.
After a moment, you tapped the side of your glass with your fingernail and looked over at him, eyes half-lidded. âWanna play something?â
Suna raised an eyebrow without moving. âLike what?â
You shrugged, smiling. âTruth or dare.â
He blinked slowly. ââŠWhat is this, a middle schoolerâs basement?â
You laughed and kicked him in the thigh with your socked foot, not even hard. Just enough to say shut up.
Suna grunted on impact, shooting you a narrowed glance as his hand caught your ankle under the blanket.
âYouâre ridiculous,â he said.
âYou love me,â you shot back easily.
He didnât answerâjust let your leg go and leaned forward to set his glass down on the table with a soft clink.
âFine,â he said, finally. âYou first.â
The couch creaked quietly beneath you as you shifted upright, adjusting the blanket to pool at your waist. Your glass was nearly empty now, fingers curling loosely around the stem while your legs curled underneath you. Suna stayed reclined, eyes on you now with that low-burn stareâquiet, unreadable, like he was already trying to guess what youâd ask.
You toyed with the rim of your glass, lips twitching. âOkay. Truth or dare?â
His answer came without hesitation. âTruth.â
Of course. It was always truth with him. Heâd rather be caught dead than do something performative, especially under your watchful, goading eye. Suna Rintarou didnât dance for anyoneâbut heâd let you look inside, if only a little.
You hummed, pretending to think, even though youâd already decided. âWhat was your first impression of me?â
He scoffed softly, dropping his head back against the cushion and staring at the ceiling for a beat before turning his gaze lazily toward you again. âHonestly?â
âObviously.â
âYou were annoying.â
Your eyes narrowed. âWow.â
âIn a cute way,â he added with a lazy grin.
You lifted your leg and nudged his thigh again. âYouâre cruising for another kick.â
âWorth it,â he muttered, taking a sip of his drink.
He set the glass aside again, arm draping along the back of the couch behind you, fingers brushing the fabric near your shoulder.
âMy turn,â he said.
You met his gaze, chin raised. âHit me.â
âTruth or dare?â
You grinned. âTruth.â
Sunaâs eyes lingered on your face for a beat too long. Then: âTop three best times youâve ever had in bed.â
You blinked. Hard.
A short laugh escaped you. âAre youâseriously?â
He shrugged one shoulder. âYou asked.â
Your cheeks warmedânot from embarrassment, but from the audacity. He was leaning into the cushion now, head tilted slightly, eyes hooded, watching your reaction like he was tracking the slow spread of heat across your skin.
âOkay,â you said finally, placing your glass on the coffee table. âFine.â
You sat back and raised three fingers.
âNumber oneâŠâ you began, grinning. âThat night you came home after being gone for four days? Didnât even make it to the bedroom. You dropped your bag and practically tackled me into the wall.â
Suna made a small, satisfied sound in his throat, but didnât interrupt.
âNumber two: the kitchen. I donât even remember what started the fight, but you shut me up pretty effectively.â
His lips twitched, the barest hint of smugness there now.
You raised your third fingerâand then paused. Let the silence stretch.
âAnd number three,â you said, tone suddenly breezy, âwas probably this one time with my ex.â
Suna didnât react at first.
Didnât flinch. Didnât even blink.
You waited.
Then he turned his head slightly, slow and measured, like processing a minor glitch in a system. His eyes dragged across your face. He looked calm. Relaxed. His arm still hung behind your shoulders.
âYouâre putting someone else on that list?â he asked quietly.
You smiled, feigning innocence. âDidnât think youâd be the jealous type.â
âIâm not,â he replied.
Then he shifted.
His legs uncrossed, knees spreading slightly as he leaned forward, forearms braced on his thighs, eyes still locked on yours.
âIâm competitive.â
You opened your mouth to respondâsomething flirty, maybe a little smugâbut before you could speak, he was already moving.
One hand slid behind your neck, the other gripping the back of your thigh, and he pulled you forward in one fluid motion. Your knees hit either side of his hips as he dragged you into his lap, not rough, but not exactly gentle either. It was purposeful. Controlled.
You gasped softly, wine-blushed hands flying to his shoulders for balance. The heat of his body met yours in a slow burn as his mouth grazed your jaw, barely touching, the edge of a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
âThird place,â he murmured. âYou serious?â
You opened your mouth to tease himâbut he cut you off with a kiss.
It wasnât soft.
It was deep and slow and toeing the line between affection and punishment, his tongue sliding into your mouth like it belonged there, like he was reclaiming territory he thought he already owned. One of his hands found your lower back, pressing you flush against him, your hips cradled perfectly against the slow, rising hardness beneath his sweats.
He pulled back just enough to murmur, âYou said top three, right?â
Your breath hitched.
He tilted his head slightly. âLetâs make it a clean sweep.â
You never made it to the bedroom.
You didnât even make it to your feet.
Suna laid you back against the couch with a quiet, measured ease, like he was tucking you into something soft instead of preparing to ruin you. The throw pillows shifted behind your shoulders as he moved over you, the heavy drag of his hands along your thighs lighting every nerve with anticipation.
Your shirt was still on. Your panties, around your knees. Everything else was tossed aside: the rules, the game, the ex youâd mentioned like it wouldnât cost you everything.
His fingers gripped the backs of your knees, pushing your legs apart until you were openâdisplayedâfor him and only him. You felt the chill of the air hit your slick skin, and then the warm press of his palms smoothing up your inner thighs like he was marking them.
You were already wet. Ridiculously so. The kind of wet that made your skin sticky and your mind hazy. He hadnât even touched you properly and you were half gone.
Suna didnât speak. Didnât ask. Just lowered himself between your legs and settled in like this was his seat.
The first press of his tongue was slow. A long, deliberate drag from your entrance up to your clit, tasting you like he already knew exactly what he was about to do.
You gaspedâback arching, fingers twitching against the cushions as his mouth closed around your clit, lips plush and wet, tongue circling until your thighs trembled.
He moaned, low and hungry, like you were a meal heâd waited all day for. And then he began to eat.
It wasnât messy. It was precise. Calculated. He licked in slow, repeating patterns, pressure building perfectly with every stroke. The couch dipped under his weight as he adjusted, one hand splayed across your stomach to keep you pinned, the other trailing over your thigh with soft, absentminded affection.
Your hips tried to moveâtried to chase the frictionâbut he held you there.
âYou taste better when you beg,â he murmured into you, voice deep and quiet like it wasnât meant to be heard. His lips never left your skin.
You whimpered, hands flying to his hair, gripping the strands like you were trying to ground yourself. You couldnât.
Your first orgasm crept up before you could stop itâwarm and relentless, your stomach tightening as he flicked the tip of his tongue over your clit in tight, practiced circles. You shook beneath him, thighs clamping instinctively, voice cracking as you gaspedâ
âRinâoh my godâRinââ
âThatâs one,â he murmured.
He didnât stop.
He pushed two fingers inside you, slow and deep, curling them up until you let out a sharp, broken moan. You were already pulsing, already drenched, and he was fucking into you with just his fingers and tongue like he had all night to unravel you.
The second orgasm hit harder.
You choked on it, the pleasure sweeping through your body in sharp, dragging waves, so intense your fingers went numb and your vision blurred. You tried to close your legs again. He held them apart, fingertips digging into your thighs like they belonged there.
âIâm not done,â he said simply.
You were crying nowâsoft, helpless tears slipping down your cheeks, your breath coming in ragged gasps. You didnât know if you were begging for more or begging him to stop. Your body didnât care. It wanted everything.
âRin,â you whimpered. âI canâtââ
âYou can.â His tongue flattened against your clit, firm and unrelenting. âI know you can.â
Your third orgasm snapped like a thread pulled taut too long. Your body shook, hips jerking off the couch, mouth open in a soundless cry. Your hands were everywhereâgripping the cushions, his hair, your own thighsâanything.
He finally pulled away, lips and chin slick with you, and looked up through his lashes like he was barely winded. His hand was still working inside you, fingers slow and deep, pressing against that soft spot that had your toes curling.
âStill thinking about him?â he asked softly.
You couldnât speak.
Suna kissed the inside of your thigh. âDidnât think so.â
He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood, shoving his sweatpants halfway down before sinking back onto the couchâgrabbing your hips and hauling you down the cushions like you weighed nothing.
Your back hit the armrest, legs dangling off the edge, and he was lining himself up in seconds.
You felt the press of him at your entranceâthick, hot, already leakingâand then he pushed in.
You moanedâloudly, mouth falling open as he filled you inch by inch. He didnât stop until he was buried to the hilt, the stretch so deep it made your whole body arch.
He stilled, breathing hard through his nose, eyes on your face.
âSo tight,â he muttered. âSo fucking wet. Youâre shaking.â
He pulled out halfwayâslammed back in.
You cried out, nails dragging down the armrest as he fucked into you, hard and deep, every thrust sending shockwaves up your spine. The couch rocked. Your body bounced. And all you could do was take it.
He found your clit againâthis time with his thumbâand rubbed tight, fast circles that had your fourth orgasm snapping violently through you, your cunt clenching so hard around him he cursed under his breath.
âYou gonna come again?â he murmured, hips still snapping into yours. âYou gonna give me five?â
You sobbed. âRinâyesâyes, I canâtââ
âYeah, you can,â he whispered. âYou will.â
The final orgasm came like nothing youâd ever felt.
You screamedâloud, raw, pleasure flooding every part of you. Your entire body went stiff before it collapsed, twitching, legs trembling as you came so hard your ears rang.
Suna groaned deep in his chest, fucking you through it until he came tooâhips jerking, cock pulsing inside you as he filled you up with every last drop.
When he stilled, you were ruined.
Sweaty, twitching, wrecked.
He leaned over you, pressing kisses to your temple, your jaw, your cheek, as your chest rose and fell in ragged breaths.
The air smelled like sex and sweat and your perfume still clinging to his hoodie.
You didnât move.
You couldnât.
He kissed your shoulder once more, nuzzling into the space just below your ear, then whisperedâ
âSoâŠâ
A pause.
âDid I make the leaderboard?â
Your brain was mush. Your limbs were jelly. Your body was still throbbing.
And all you could do⊠was nod.
Suna smiled.
âGood.â

Kenma Kozume had never been good with change.
He liked things predictable. Safe. Video games had taught him that if he kept his strategy consistent, if he memorized the patterns and played smart, he could survive anything. Life was just another game to himâone where he preferred to stay in the background, keep things stable, and avoid unnecessary risks.
But nothing about this felt stable. Nothing about this felt safe.
Because you were leaving.
Kenma sat on the floor of your apartment, legs crossed, a cardboard box in his lap. Around him, the room looked smaller than it used to, packed with boxes stacked high, shelves stripped of their usual clutter. The air smelled like old books, packing tape, and a faint trace of your perfume, and for the first time since he had known you, your space didnât feel like home anymore.
Maybe because it wasnât. Not for much longer.
You had been a part of his life for so long that he barely remembered what it was like before you. Since childhood, you had been thereâfirst as a quiet presence at his side in elementary school, then as the only person who could sit with him for hours, gaming in comfortable silence. You never questioned the way he was, never pushed him to be anything other than himself. And as the years passed, you became his constant, his safe place, his person.
And now, you were leaving.
âSo, youâre really going, huh?â His voice was quiet, neutral, but even he could hear the strain in it.
You looked up from where you were sorting through a pile of miscellaneous thingsâold letters, tangled earbuds, random trinkets you had shoved into drawers over the years. You smiled, but it was the kind that didnât quite reach your eyes. âYeah. Itâs happening.â
Kenmaâs fingers curled around the edges of the box. He had known about this for weeks now, ever since you told him about the job opportunity in another city. It wasnât supposed to feel like this. He had told himself it wouldnât change anything. That you would still text him, call him, visit when you could.
But now, with everything packed up and your walls bare, the reality of it all settled like a weight in his chest.
He had never thought about a life where you werenât here. Where he couldnât just send a message and have you show up at his door an hour later with takeout, where you werenât sitting beside him on his couch, watching him play through whatever new game he was obsessed with that week. Where you werenât justâŠ
Here.
You sighed and flopped onto your back, staring at the ceiling. âIâm kind of freaking out,â you admitted, voice light, almost playful. âNew place, new people, new job. Itâs exciting, but also terrifying.â
Kenma swallowed. He should say something. Something encouraging, something that made it sound like he was happy for you, like he wasnât falling apart inside.
âYouâll be fine.â
You turned your head to look at him, and for a second, he thought you could see right through him. That you could tell he was barely keeping it together. But then you smiledâsoft, familiar, warm.
âThanks, Ken.â
He nodded, looking away. He focused on the box in his lap, on the way his hands clenched the cardboard just a little too tightly.
This wasnât how it was supposed to be. He had never needed to say anything before. He thought you just knewâthat you had always known. That there was no rush, no deadline, no moment where he would run out of time. Because you were always here.
But now, you werenât going to be.
And Kenma realized, too late, that he had never even given himself a chance.
The packing took hours, and Kenma stayed through all of it. It wasnât like he had anywhere else to be, and he didnât want to be anywhere else, anyway. He helped you sort through things, separate what you were keeping from what you were leaving behind. Every item had a story, a memory attached to it. The hoodie he had lent you once and never got back. The game controller he had bought for you so you could play co-op with him. The tiny cat figurine you had won at a festival and insisted looked just like him.
All these little things that made up you.
All these little things that reminded him of what he was losing.
He wasnât good with words. He never had been. He wasnât like Kuroo, who could charm his way through anything, or Bokuto, who could wear his heart on his sleeve without fear. Kenma had always been quiet, reserved, hesitant. But when it came to you, his feelings were loud, screaming inside him, demanding to be acknowledged.
But he had never said anything.
Because what if he did, and you left anyway? What if it changed everything? What if losing you as a friend hurt worse than losing you to distance?
âYou should take this,â you said at one point, holding out an old, well-loved game case. âWe never finished it together.â
Kenma stared at it, then at you. âThen take it with you.â
âI donât have my console anymore. Sold it.â You grinned sheepishly. âNew city, new start.â
His grip tightened on the game. He didnât like that answer. He didnât like any of this. He had never been an emotional person, but right now, something bitter sat at the back of his throat, something wrong.
You were leaving. You were letting go of all these things, of this life, of himâand you were acting like it was just something that had to happen.
Kenma had spent years convinced he had all the time in the world. But time was up. And for the first time, he didnât know what to do about it.
It was late by the time everything was packed. The apartment looked empty now, stripped of everything that made it yours. You stretched, yawning, then turned to him with an expression that was far too casual for what this moment felt like.
âThis is it, huh?â You nudged his arm lightly. âOne last night before I go.â
Kenmaâs stomach twisted. He forced himself to nod. âYeah.â
âHey.â You tilted your head, watching him. âAre you okay?â
No. No, he wasnât. Because this wasnât fair. Because he should have said something sooner. Because he didnât know how to deal with the fact that tomorrow, you wouldnât be here anymore.
âYeah.â
You frowned, unconvinced, but you let it go. Instead, you stepped closer, wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug. Kenma stiffened for a moment, caught off guard, before his body reacted on instinct, arms lifting to hold you back just as tightly.
âIâm gonna miss you, Ken.â
The words hit him harder than he expected. He closed his eyes, trying to steady his breathing, trying to memorize thisâthe feel of your arms around him, the warmth of you against his chest, the way your head fit perfectly against his shoulder. Trying to ignore the aching thought that this might be the last time.
He wanted to say donât go. Wanted to tell you to stay, that you didnât have to leave, that heâ
But he didnât.
Instead, he whispered, âMe too.â
And he held on for as long as he could.
Gurllll
So we're in college and tsuki get dragged into a party, but he ends up chilling in the back just drinking or smoking and listening to music
That's where we first spot him,and like we knew each other from the high-school team but not really know each other y'know?
Then they end up talking and chilling and playing some gamesss like truth or dare or sm
Idk I'm kinda imagining it just chilling and having deep conversations and talk about things in common
Gorl I gotchu ;p ~~
Tsukishima had no idea why he was here.
Correctionâhe knew exactly why. Yamaguchi had guilt-tripped him into coming, saying something about how he needed to "expand his social life" and "stop being a recluse." He hadn't been able to argue much when he was already agreeing just to get his best friend off his back.
Of course, Yamaguchi wasn't even here. Some excuse about having an early morning study session had conveniently surfaced at the last second; Leaving Tsukishima alone at a party he had no interest in attending when a better use of his Friday night would be staying in his dorm with his headphones on, zoning out to some documentary about prehistoric marine life.
All he felt was betrayal.
This was the same useless chatter, the same shallow interactions, the same pointless noise that made him want to walk right back out the door. He leaned against the back wall, drink in hand, half-listening to whatever trash playlist was blaring through the speakers. His gaze occasionally flickered over the room, not because he was interested in anything but because it gave him something to do other than stand there like an idiot.
He didnât recognize most of the people here. He barely cared to. Drunken laughter rang in his ears, a couple stumbled past him, and someone yelled something incomprehensible from the other side of the room. His patience was already wearing thin. His foot tapped against the ground, a subtle tick of irritation.
Then, through the shifting bodies and dim, flickering lights, his gaze caught on someone who was familiar.
You.
You were weaving through the party, clearly uninterested, your expression giving away just how much you didn't want to be here. There was something oddly reassuring about thatâsomeone else in the same predicament. A memory clicked into place after a few seconds. Second-year. Same class. You'd sat a row over by the window, always making snide remarks under your breath whenever the teacher said something ridiculous. He'd smirked at a few of them but never actually talked to you.
And now, here you were. And youâd seen him too.
Your eyes met across the room, a quiet recognition passing between you. Then, without hesitation, you started making your way over. He briefly considered looking away, pretending he hadnât noticed, but it was already too late.
"Hey... Tsukishima, right? We had a class together in second year." You stopped beside him, tilting your head slightly. "Never thought Iâd see you at a party. Let me guessâyou lost a bet?"
He huffed, taking a sip from his drink. "Close. My friend thought I needed to âsocialize more.â"
You deadpanned. "Thatâs disgusting. Iâm sorry for your loss."
A snort left him before he could stop it. "Yeah, well. Heâs not even here."
You raised a brow. "He ditched you?"
"Told me he had âstudyingâ to do." Tsukishima made air quotes with his free hand. "Like that wasnât his plan all along."
"Brutal." You leaned against the wall beside him, arms crossed. "And yet, here you are. Holding up your end of the deal like a good little soldier."
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. "For now."
You smirked, turning your gaze back to the chaotic mess in front of you. "This place is awful."
"Yeah." His gaze flicked over the crowd, unimpressed. "Not sure whatâs worseâthe music or the people."
"Tough call," you mused. "The music is bad, but at least it doesnât try to hold a conversation with you."
Tsukishima let out a quiet, amused exhale. "Fair point."
A beat passed before you sighed, shifting your weight. "You wanna get out of here?"
He glanced at you, gauging if you were serious. He wasnât usually the type to just leave somewhere with someone he barely knew. But this was unbearable. And you? You at least had a functional brain in your head.
His brows lifted slightly, but he didnât hesitate. "God, yes."
Neither of you said anything more as you slipped through the party, out the door, and into the cold night air. The shift was immediateâthe tension of the party dissipating the moment you stepped onto the sidewalk, the dull hum of the city streets far more tolerable than whatever chaotic mess was happening inside.
You walked without a real destination, just following the quiet rhythm of the night, side by side under streetlights casting long shadows across pavement. The city wasnât asleep, but it was quieter now, the occasional car passing by, a few other night-walkers making their way home.
"So, whatâd you do to deserve being dragged here?" he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I thought I could be like everyone else our age." You sighed dramatically. "Clearly, I make poor choices."
Tsukishima huffed. "Yeah, you and me both."
Silence stretched between you, but it wasnât uncomfortable. The streets were mostly empty, the occasional passing car throwing streaks of light across the pavement. You kicked a stray pebble down the sidewalk, watching it bounce before speaking again.
"So, are you still doing that volleyball thing?"
Tsukishima looked at you, unimpressed. "Wow. Stalker much?"
You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, totally. I spend all my free time keeping tabs on people I barely spoke to in high school."
Tsukishima let out a quiet scoff but found himself smirking despite himself. "Right. Of course."
You nudged him lightly with your elbow before switching topics. "So, whatâs your major?"
He glanced at you, wondering if you actually cared or if you were just making conversation. "Geology."
You raised a brow, a knowing look crossing your face. "Dinosaurs, huh?"
Tsukishima tensed. "What? No. Rocks."
You let out a low laugh. "Sure. Totally not related."
He rolled his eyes, but the corner of his lips twitched. "What about you?"
"Oh, I don't really have one. I prefer to just float. You know, jack of all trades and that jazz."
Tsukishima found that slightly funny, though he didnât show it beyond a slight shake of his head. "So you plan to graduate with nothing, then?"
"Thatâs the dream."
The back-and-forth was easy, natural. Neither of you felt the need to fill every silence with meaningless words, and yet, the conversation kept flowing. Complaints about professors, stupid classmates, the absurdity of group projectsâsomehow, it all felt lighter when it was shared.
At some point, your steps slowed, and you both lingered near a street corner, neither of you saying anything for a few beats. A breeze rolled past, cool against the lingering warmth of the night, and you rocked back on your heels before tilting your head slightly to glance at him.
"You know," you started, drawing out the words, "I half-expected you to be a bigger ass."
Tsukishima blinked at you, arching a brow. "And I expected you to be less annoying."
You let out a low laugh, shaking your head. "So weâre both disappointed. Great."
Tsukishima didnât answer, but he huffed out something close to a laugh, subtle but there. The conversation had been nothing but casual snark and easy complaints, but there was something oddly comfortable about itâlike the banter wasnât just passing time but filling a space that neither of you had realized was empty until now.
Eventually, you stopped at the entrance to the subway station. You looked up at him, hands stuffed in your pockets, shifting slightly on your feet before smirking.
"I like complaining about things with you," you said, voice lighter than before. "Letâs do it again sometime."
And then, just like that, you turned and disappeared down the stairs.
Tsukishima stood there, watching as the train rumbled to life, departing into the tunnels with you on it.
A sigh slipped out of him, and he muttered to himself, "... yeah... me too."
Then, like an idiot, it hit him.
He didnât ask for your number.
Great.
You knew the day was going to be shit when your coffee spilled on your white blouse before 9 a.m.
The rest unfolded like a cruel jokeâback-to-back meetings that ran long, a snippy email from your supervisor that didnât even pretend to be polite, and a presentation youâd poured hours into that got brushed aside for a 'more time-sensitive matter.' By 5 p.m., your jaw ached from how tightly youâd been clenching it all day.
So when your phone buzzed, and you saw Kurooâs name flash across the screen, your thumb hovered over the green icon. You didnât want to talk. You didnât want to pretend you were fine. But you answered anyway.
âHey,â he said, voice low and familiar. There was a pause, like he was listening for something in the silence between you. "You sound like you had a day."
You scoffed. âThat obvious?â
âYou get all quiet when youâre brooding.â
You didnât reply. The lump in your throat had nothing to do with him, and everything to do with the way he could read you like thisâwithout even seeing your face.
He waited a beat, then said, âCome out. First roundâs on me.â
You started to declineâalready in your sweats, already half curled on the couchâbut his voice came again, coaxing.
âCâmon, Iâll even let you rant about corporate dysfunction without rolling my eyes this time.â
That got the faintest laugh out of you. And somehow, twenty minutes later, you were walking into the bar you both loved, the one tucked between a bookstore and a stationery shop, dim and warm and a little too familiar.
He was already at your usual tableâsecond from the back, under the shelf with the crooked leg that made drinks tilt if you werenât careful. Two pints sat on the table, and Kuroo raised one as you approached.
âStill drinkinâ like a college student?â you teased, sliding into the booth across from him.
He grinned. âNostalgiaâs a powerful thing.â
You took the glass, took a long sip, and finally sighed. It hit your system like a balm.
For the next half hour, you vented. About your boss. About the way the office printer hated you. About how you were so close to throwing your laptop out the window, and how nobody respected boundaries anymore.
Kuroo listened, as always. Interjected only when you needed him to. Smiled over the rim of his beer like he could do this for hours.
Eventually, when the flush of alcohol had softened the edges of your irritation, he leaned forward on his elbows.
âYou ever think youâre just lonely?â
You blinked. âExcuse me?â
He didnât flinch. âI meanâyou work hard, you donât really date, you havenât mentioned anyone in a while. Maybe itâs not just the job. Maybe itâs... everything else, too.â
You raised an eyebrow. âIs this your way of telling me I'm a spinster?â
He laughed, but it sounded slightly forced. âNah. Just saying, you deserve someone good. Thought about setting you up with a friend.â
You shrugged, looked down into your drink. âIâm not interested in someone else.â
And that was the truth. You hadnât been, not for a long time. Not since your second year of college, when Kuroo Tetsurou sauntered into your world like he owned the placeâwith messy hair, too much sarcasm, and the kind of quiet loyalty that wrecked you. He was all sharp teeth and soft heart, and youâd fallen harder than you wanted to admit. But youâd also accepted, long ago, that he probably didnât see you that way. So you tucked it down. Smiled when he dated other people. Never said a word.
Until tonight.
You hadnât meant to get drunk. Not really. Youâd planned to drink just enough to take the edge off, to let the tension bleed from your muscles after a long, miserable day. But when the bartender mentioned it was two-for-one night, and Kuroo had raised an eyebrow with that stupid, charming grin, it was all too easy to shrug and say yes.
The drinks hit harder than you expectedâsmoother, easier, and paired with Kurooâs low voice and quiet laughter, it was easy to lose track. What was supposed to be one drink became two, then three, and suddenly you were warm in all the soft ways that made the world a little blurrier around the edges.
Your limbs felt too light, your thoughts too soft, and every time he said your name, it rang a little louder in your chest. At some point, youâd slumped further into the booth, propping your chin in your hand and blinking slower with each refill.
âAlright,â he said finally, his voice still light but laced with concern as he reached for your nearly empty glass. âYouâre cut off.â
You pouted, dragging your eyes up to meet his, but your grin stayed lazy. "Tetsu," you said, drawing out the syllables, âyouâre so bossy.â
âSomeoneâs gotta keep your chaotic ass alive,â he muttered, even as he flagged down the bartender and handed over his card. He didnât even look at the receipt when it came.
You watched the way his brows knit together slightly, the way he pressed his tongue against his cheek, like he was both irritated and fond at the same time. Familiar. Comforting.
He slid out of the booth and looped your bag over one shoulder, then turned to offer you his hand.
âLetâs go, before you start snoring in public.â
The air outside was crisp. Night had fallen while you were inside, and the chill that hit your cheeks brought a bit of clarityâbut not much. You shivered, and Kuroo automatically shrugged off his jacket and draped it over your shoulders.
You didnât argue. You leaned into his side, let his arm steady you as you walked together down the quiet street. His touch was careful, guiding. You kept catching faint traces of his cologneâclean and woodsy, something subtle but undeniably him.
âYou smell good,â you mumbled into the fabric of his shirt.
He let out a soft snort. âThanks.â
The cab ride was even quieter. Your head lolled gently onto his shoulder. You felt warm, and his shirt was soft, and you couldnât stop your lips from parting with sleepy little compliments.
âI like your voice,â you whispered.
He glanced down at you, mouth twitching. âYouâre gonna regret this tomorrow.â
âAm not,â you slurred. âYou're very kissable. Did you know that?â
Kuroo closed his eyes for a second, breathing in through his nose like he was trying very hard not to react. Under his breath, barely audible over the hum of the city outside the cab, he whispered, "God, it's me again. Let her remember this so I can see the look on her face tomorrow."
When you arrived at his apartment, he paid the driver with one hand and guided you out with the other, keeping his hold steady on your waist. You stumbled once on the sidewalk and clutched at his hoodie.
âEasy,â he murmured, his fingers tightening just a little.
His apartment was dark and quiet when you entered. He didnât bother with the lightsâjust led you toward the couch by memory, his hand never leaving yours. You swayed a little as you collapsed onto the cushions, blinking up at him.
âAlways takinâ care of me,â you said, voice soft and blurred at the edges. âYouâre good at that.â
Kuroo crouched to untie your shoes, brows drawn. âWell, someoneâs gotta keep you upright.â
You leaned forward, still gripping the front of his hoodie, and he didnât pull away. Your eyes met his, blurry but intent, and your lips quirked upward.
âI love you, you know.â
Kuroo froze.
The words were slurred but clear enough to punch the breath out of him.
Your voice dropped lower, more sincere. âI love you. Since the moment I saw you.â
He stopped breathing.
His hands hovered mid-motion over your shoes, his fingers curled like they forgot what they were doing. Slowly, carefully, he lifted his head to look at you.
âWhat?â
But your head tipped back onto the couch, your eyes fluttering shut.
âI love you,â you repeated, softer this time. âIâve always loved you.â
âWaitââ he tried again, voice sharper now, a tremor hidden underneath.
But your breathing was already evening out, lips slightly parted, lashes resting against your cheeks. You were out cold.
Kuroo knelt there for a long moment, just staring. The words still rang in his ears, ricocheting through his ribs like they didnât quite belong to reality.
He sat back slowly, knees folding underneath him, and pressed the heels of his hands to his eyes. Then he dragged his fingers through his hair and stood up, walking into the kitchen without really seeing.
The quiet of the apartment wrapped around him like a weight.
ââŠWhoa.â
--
The morning comes slowly, dragging a dull headache and a dry mouth with it.
You blink against the sunlight bleeding through unfamiliar curtains, your body heavy, brain sluggish. Thereâs the faint hum of a coffee machine somewhere nearby. The smell is strong and bitter and achingly welcome.
It takes you a minute to remember where you are. The couch. Kurooâs apartment. The drinks. Your stomach twists as snippets of the night flicker backâhis arm around your waist, the way he guided you up the stairs, the sound of his laugh.
You sit up with a groan, head pounding as the room spins for a second. Your clothes are wrinkled, your mouth tastes awful, and your memories are slippery at best. But when you swing your legs off the couch and catch sight of himâKuroo, in the kitchen, hair messy, hoodie sleeves shoved up as he stirs something in a mugâyou feel it.
That deep, crawling dread.
He looks over as you shuffle in, blinking groggily. âMorning, sunshine.â
You grunt, dragging yourself to the counter as he slides a mug across to you without a word. You catch it with both hands, the warmth seeping into your skin. Itâs blessedly hot. And quiet.
You sip slowly, staring into the cup, your head still throbbing. The silence stretches. He doesnât speak. Just leans against the counter and sips from his own mug like this is normal. Like you didnât say something earth-shattering last night.
Eventually, he breaks it. âYou remember anything from last night?â
You blink, then close your eyes for a second, willing your sluggish brain to scroll back through the hazy reel of the evening. âWe went to the bar,â you murmur slowly. âYou were already there when I came in. There was a drink waiting. A pintâof course. I think I complained about work for forty-five minutes straight.â
You pause to take a sip of coffee, your eyes still narrowed in concentration.
âI had the first two drinks faster than I should have. You were teasing me about my toleranceâ"
You stop.
The cab. His jacket. His arm around your waist. The stairs.
âOh my god,â you whisper, a spike of panic hitting your chest. âAnd you helped me back to your plaâOH MY GOD.â
Kuroo raises a brow, tryingâfailingâto hide the smirk that curls onto his face.
You set the mug down a little too hard. "I didn't mean it," you blurt, voice too high. "I meanâI was drunk. Very drunk. You know how I get, right? I say stupid things, Iâ"
You wave a hand vaguely in the air, flushing deeper. "It didnât mean anything. I mean, obviously I care about you, weâve always been really good friends, and I didnâtâ"
Your words trip over themselves like dominoes, spiraling into panic as you try to claw your way out of whatever you admitted the night before. Your face is on fire, your fingers drumming anxiously against the side of your mug.
And Kuroo just watches you, quietly amused. Something fond in his eyes. Like heâs letting you run your mouth on purpose.
Then he sets down his cup, crosses the space between you, and gently cups your face in his hands.
You freeze.
âAnd here I was thinking Iâd break first,â he says, voice low and warm.
You stare at him, mouth parted, utterly lost.
ââŠBut you wanted to set me upâŠ?â you whisper, your voice cracking mid-sentence.
He huffs a laugh, brushing his thumb over your cheek. âOh, screw that. Youâre mine now.â
You blink up at him, blinking hard like your brain is trying to keep up. âWait, you mean that?â
He nods slowly, his hands still cradling your face. âI do. I meant it last night, too. You passed out before I could say anything, but I meant to.â
Thereâs a pause, the kind thatâs too soft to be awkwardâjust full of all the things that didnât have time to be said. âIâve loved you for a long time,â he adds quietly, voice going a little rough at the edges. âGuess I just needed you to drunkenly beat me to it.â
The laugh that slips out of you is half a breath and half a sob, surprised and stunned and disbelieving. âOh my god.â
He grins, leaning his forehead against yours for a second, and the two of you just stand there, smiling quietly into each other like the world finally makes sense.
Then you squeeze his hands once, step back with a wince, and say, âIâm going to go throw up.â
He lets go of you immediately, one eyebrow lifting. âFrom excitement?â
Youâre already wobbling toward the bathroom, one hand raised in defeat. âAlcohol poisoning.â
He leans against the counter, grinning to himself. âYeah, that too.â
Kenma didnât mind most positions.
He liked slow sex. Quiet sex. Something easy, something lazyâskin against skin while the rest of the world went quiet. He didnât like being overwhelmed, didnât like chaos, didnât like the kind of intimacy that made him feel too seen. Too vulnerable. Too much.
But then there was you.
And you liked control. You liked watching him blush, watching his breath hitch, watching his hands tighten on your thighs as you rolled your hips just right. You liked when his focus shifted from the glowing screen in his hands to the way your body responded to him. You liked riding his face.
At first, Kenma thought he wouldnât enjoy it. Not because he didnât want to please youâhe always wanted thatâbut because he assumed he wouldnât be good at it. That he wouldnât know what to do with his hands, or how to breathe, or how to make you come apart just from his mouth. He overthought it, worried heâd be awkward or freeze up.
But the first time you sat on his face? Something changed.
He liked the weight of you on his tongue, the pressure of your thighs trembling around his head, your hands fisting in his hair as you got louder, needier, completely undone. The way you moved, desperate and trembling, grinding down into his mouth like you couldnât help itâit awakened something in him.
It felt powerful.
It felt intimate in a way he didnât expect.
And thatâs what made it his favorite.
Tonight, the room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of his monitor left on in the background, some menu music humming quietly in the silence. The air was warm, still, thick with tension as you straddled his chest, slowly shifting forward until your thighs framed his face.
Your knees hovered above him, thighs already trembling from anticipation, slick dripping down onto his waiting tongue as you tried to hold backâtried to be gentle with him.
Kenma wasnât having it.
His hands gripped your thighs, thumbs digging into the soft flesh as he pulled you down, anchoring you right where he wanted you.
You gasped, spine arching, one hand flying back to the headboard to steady yourself. âK-Kenmaâ!â
He groaned into you, eyes fluttering shut, tongue lapping firm, slow stripes from your entrance to your clit, flicking it with just enough pressure to make your hips buck.
âSit,â he murmured, voice muffled against you. âDonât run.â
You whimpered at the command. The heat pooling in your core flared violently, and you dropped your weight onto him with a moan. His fingers tightened in approval, guiding you to rock your hips slightly, grinding into his mouth at a pace he set.
That was what he wanted.
He didnât need to see your face. Didnât need to speak. He wanted your thighs around his head, your breath hitched and stuttering, your body twitching every time he dragged his tongue in just the right way. He wanted to hear the way you lost yourself.
You gripped the headboard harder, panting, your thighs starting to quiver. "Kenma, f-fuck, I can'tâ"
He moaned into you, nose nudging against your clit as his tongue moved faster, more deliberate, savoring every whimper you gave him. The vibrations of his groan made your hips jerk, your eyes fluttering shut as you got closer.
You were close. He could feel it.
Your thighs tensed, hips jerking, and suddenly your fingers were yanking at his roots, grounding yourself as you cried out, back arching. Your body bucked against his face, and Kenma didnât stop. Not even when your orgasm surged through you, not even when your voice broke from how hard you were panting. He kept going, working you through it, tongue relentless, until your thighs twitched around his head.
Only when your hips tried to lift away did he ease up, licking you through the aftershocks like he was savoring dessert, mouth sticky with you, breathing heavy but content.
Your entire body was trembling.
You collapsed onto the bed beside him, flushed and panting, eyes glazed over and lips parted as you struggled to catch your breath.
Kenma wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, gold eyes flicking over to meet yours.
âYou okay?â he asked, voice hoarse but laced with quiet amusement.
You nodded quickly, still catching your breath, then whimpered when your thighs twitched again. Your skin was buzzing, hypersensitive, your body limp with exhaustion and pleasure.
Kenma smirked faintly, eyes soft but smug. âGood. You were loud.â
You let out a breathy laugh, covering your face with one hand, still dazed. âShut up.â
He pulled the blankets over you, kissed your cheek softly, and curled in beside you like he hadnât just ruined you with his mouth.
Lazy. Soft.
Still your favorite gamer boy.
But now?
He had a favorite position, too.
You talk too much and have no shame. You later find out Kugisaki canât keep a secret.
Chaos ensues.
It was a normal day.
Well, as normal as it could be at a school for sorcerers.
Youâd just finished a long, obscene amount of useless classes that in no way would help you in the future as you sat on the steps of the schoolâs entrance, feeling the sun hit your face. The spring weather was nice, sun shining and heat settling in, with cool breezes of wind to neutralize it. The sound of the wind through the trees was calming.
Even though you couldnât hear any of it due to Kugisakiâs talking.
You didnât mind it though. In a school with a shockingly small amount of students, and an even smaller first-year class, you liked the empty spaces to be filled with noise. Kugisaki and Itadori did that well.
The silence was boring anyway.
â-I swear heâs so childish, thereâs a reason why girls donât like him you know.â You zone in on her irritated voice, taking a sip from the drink you bought from the vending machine.
Ah right. She was complaining about Itadori. What about him, though, you couldnât remember. Maybe it was about the sudden revival from the dead, but honestly, itâs a toss-up at this point.
âGirls donât like him? I mean heâs childish sure, but theyâre are plenty of girls who like that.â Despite the fiery personality of Kugisaki, you, on the other hand, were much the calmer side, more cool-headed you could say. Of course, there are moments where you lose said cool, but for the most part, youâd consider yourself a pacifist.
This is ironic considering your livelihood at the moment is killing curses.
Maybe thatâs why you and Kugisaki got along so well. Well, that and the fact that you two were the only girls in first-year, and like she said, âUs girls gotta stay together. Canât have the boys running the showâ which you do agree with. In the jujutsu world there arenât many respected female sorcerers, and Kugisaki intends to change that. Along with Maki-senpai.
You found it admirable. But you personally wouldnât go through the trouble. Fame and demanded respect from others you didnât care about wasnât something you were exactly interested in.
âHah? Really? Well, would you date him?â You go to respond, but pause. She had a good point. Now, you didnât have any problems with Itadori, even though he swallowed a special-grade cursed object, that was a little weird.
Okay, a lot weird.
But for the most part, he was just a friend. You did care a lot for him surprisingly when he âdiedâ you were sadder than you expected yourself to be, and a lot angrier when he was found alive, but honestlyâŠ
He simply didnât do it for you.
âNah, he isnât my type.â You say causally, taking another sip of your drink. Kugisaki quirks her brow.
âWhat is your type then?â She asks, slyly studying you, probably trying to make sure that you donât lie. Your form stays relaxed as you think about it. A person immediately pops in your head and without thinking you blurt it out.
âSomeone like Fushiguro. How about you?â The sentence makes the chill atmosphere, or as chill as it could be with someone like Kugisaki, break in an instant.
âWhat?! You canât just drop a bomb like that and try to pass it off!â Your eyes widen as she gets inches away from your face. The flame in her eyes was so close you could practically feel the heat coming off them.
âFushiguro?! You like him?!â You start to sweat a little at the accusing tone in her voice, the pressure making your heart suddenly beat ten times faster. You could imagine this is how criminals feel when being interrogated.
âUh⊠Yeah? I mean, whatâs not the like? Heâs attractive, smart, and puts himself before others.â You start to list off, stopping when you hear a âtchâ of disapproval. Honestly, you couldâve listed dozens of other reasons. Though youâve only known him for a couple of months, youâd be lying if you said you hadnât fallen hard, probably more than youâre letting on right now. You blush slightly at your thoughts, but Kugisaki doesnât seem to notice.
âAnd I here I thought you had good taste. Youâre into guys who act all high mighty, and who probably likes to light oil slicks on fire or kick stray cats when no ones watching. I canât trust anyone these days.â Her voice turns dramatically sad, and you snort at the strangely detailed insult.
âIâm not saying Iâm in love with Fushiguro, Iâm just saying that heâs not bad to look at. Thatâs all.â Also wanting to be around him constantly, and get to look at him whenever I want.
Now, you donât know whether this was a good trait or a bad trait, honestly, it was a gamble at times, but youâre comfortable, youâre absolutely shameless. And while it can be good in some situations, youâll realize soon enough that this would be your downfall.
Kugisaki starts to make a lot of choked sounds, and before she dies of a heart attack, you decide to take the conversation off you. âOk then, if I have shitty taste and youâre the queen in choosing partners, whatâs youâre type?â Like a cartoon, her mood flips in an instant, and you listen to her ramble about her standards and how most people probably arenât good enough for her. It was entertaining, to say the least, but when the sun started the set and the cooling breeze got uncomfortable, you both decided to call it night.
You didnât think much of your confession, for lack of a better word. But little did you know that this âconfessionâ was going to bite you in the ass.
