Raichi is a walking contradiction and Sanada likes to see both sides of him. Sanada learns quickly that Raichi is best right after baseball games. Before them he’s too tight-wound, with his eyes wild and unfocused, with his mouth drawing into a grin as manic as it is delighted. Sanada can’t talk to him then any more than he can usually get coherency from between Raichi’s desperately devoted “Sanada-senpai!”s or the glaze of abstracted idolization in the other’s dark eyes, and he’s never enjoyed wasting his time on a pointless pursuit. Besides, he has his own concerns to think about, reflections on the flow of the game to come and the imagined pattern of a baseball pressing against his palm to hold like a premonition. So he leaves Raichi to his too- loud cackle, and indulges himself in the focus needed to center himself, and if they speak at all it’s in cheers from the dugout, yells that neither of them hear for their focus on the moment at hand. But after...it’s in the aftermath of all that adrenaline that Sanada finds his favorite side of Raichi. “Raichi,” he says now, breathing the name against the other boy’s ear and watching the way Raichi shudders helplessly under the spray of the locker-room showers, the way the water does nothing at all to rinse away the flush staining his cheeks, his neck, the back of his shoulders, the way anticipation floods his veins with heat that needs no further encouragement. “What do you want me to do to you?” “Sanada-senpai” Raichi chokes, sounding like he’s fighting for every syllable, like he’s forgotten how to speak between the breathless coughs of laughing and the growls of threats he’s aimed at the other team. His eyes are shut, Sanada knows without looking, his head tipped up and back to strain his throat into an agonized harshness; Sanada looks at his shoulders instead, watches the strain of effort working along the line of his back as Raichi’s bracing hands against the wall tense, his fingers curling like he’s trying to drive his hold straight into the tile to hold himself steady. “That’s not an answer,” Sanada points out. Raichi’s feet are wide apart already, the stance necessary for him to keep his balance on slippery tile with legs shaky from the exertion of the game. Sanada reaches out, fits his fingers into the shadow between Raichi’s thighs, lets the tremble of the other’s reaction shiver up his arm and prickle anticipation down his spine. “Are you going to tell me what you want?” “Hhh,” Raichi whimpers, head dropping forward like he’s forgotten how to hold it up. Sanada’s pretty sure Raichi’s not seeing anything but he steps closer anyway, reaches out to slide his other hand around the sharp edge of Raichi’s hip and spread his fingers wide over the other’s stomach, just to give Raichi something to look at. “Want me to tell you instead?” Sanada offers, as he always knew he would offer, because he can hear how hard Raichi is breathing and can see the tension in his shoulders and knows, as they both know, that this was always waiting for them at the end of the game. “Yeah,” Raichi manages. “Sanada-senpai.” “Mm,” Sanada hums, just to taste the vibration on his tongue, to give the flush of power in his veins time to settle and cool into something manageable instead of the first hot surge of desire that tells him to grab, to bite and claw and take as if he’s the one gone raw and wild from the field. The spray of the shower catches at his fingers, skids down the skinny line of Raichi’s spine, and Sanada presses harder with the hand bracing Raichi’s stomach, fits spread- out fingers into a hold as his other hand draws up, up, up, along the quiver in Raichi’s thighs to the tense heat at his entrance. “You want me to touch you,” Sanada says, watching the door to the showers with only half his attention on the possibility of being interrupted, only whatever is left after the friction under his fingers and the splash of the water have claimed dominance over his attention. He pushes with one finger, threatening friction without enough force to follow through, and Raichi gasps something wordless and loud, a tremor of response given shape into sound. “Here,” Sanada says, then lets his hand bracing Raichi’s stomach slide down, until he can stretch his little finger out and bump the base of Raichi’s flushed cock, a glancing impact that still makes Raichi choke and shake with the suggestion. “And here.” He tilts his hips in, fits his cock against the edge of Raichi’s hip, and Raichi gives up some garbled sound, words torn to shreds over the tension in his body until they’re nothing but noise. “You want me to fuck you,” Sanada says, deliberately drawling out the rough edges of the consonants, turning them into something hot enough to shudder reaction through Raichi like a touch. “You want to come while I’m fucking you up against the wall, right?” “Sanada-senpai,” Raichi moans, hips working backwards like he’s trying to fuck himself on Sanada’s fingers, and moving will ruin any chance of coherency but Sanada doesn’t really need Raichi coherent anyway. He tilts his wrist into an angle, pushes one finger carefully inside the other boy, and Raichi makes a shattered sound, a growl dissolving into a groan as Sanada presses inside him. “You don’t want to wait,” Sanada says, drawing back to ease forward again, holding Raichi still against him to keep him from moving too fast and disrupting the necessarily slow rhythm. “You want it right now, right here, before we go back home, don’t you?” “Sana--” Raichi starts before Sanada turns his hand, pushes in deep to arch Raichi’s back into an involuntary curve, to tilt his head back on a startled bark of sound. “Ah.” “You should be quiet. Anyone could come in,” Sanada says, and he doesn’t think Raichi’s really listening to his words but it hardly matters, not when this is more for him than for anyone else. “What would the others think?” He draws his hand back, sucks against his fingers for a moment for a little more lubrication, and Raichi growls, raw and desperate and shaking for it, trembling like Sanada’s hold is the only thing keeping him upright. “You pinned up against the wall,” Sanada suggests, painting the picture in broad strokes as he reaches back down to stretch Raichi open around a pair of fingers, the force enough to jolt a tremor through the other boy and twitch hot through his cock at Sanada’s fingertips. “Me behind you.” He ducks in close, kisses wet off Raichi’s shoulder, and Raichi moans, dips his head in submission to the water and the kiss at once as Sanada’s fingers thrust farther into him. “We might not even see them right away,” he suggests, and Raichi is opening up to him, gasping lungfuls of air gone audible and wet in the humidity as his shoulders shiver with tension, his legs quaking with each thrust of Sanada’s fingers. “It could be minutes of them just staring at me fucking you. Hearing the sounds you make.” A thrust, a twist, and Raichi arches again, demonstrates Sanada’s point with a groan that spills up from his throat as liquid as the water around them. Sanada’s breathing faster, fighting for enough air from the damp hanging around them and the heat in his veins, but his hand doesn’t slow, the pace of his movement set by instinct rather than conscious effort. “But you want me to fuck you anyway,” he says, certain enough to strip any question from his tone as he draws his fingers back and brings his hand to his mouth to lick damp across the calluses on his palm. Raichi is gasping, sounds like he’s choking, like he can’t suck enough air from the space around him, his hair wet and plastered to his face until all Sanada can see of him is the wet slackness of his mouth, his inhales dropped into unconscious effort as he braces against the wall. Sanada slicks his palm over himself, steps in between Raichi’s wide-open stance, and then he has to lean in close, brace his hand on the cool tile between Raichi’s and let his hold against the other’s stomach go so he can steady himself instead, brace his fingers against the base of his cock as he looks down to line himself up. “Don’t you,” he says instead of asks, bumps the head of his cock against Raichi so the other boy shudders and moans frantic incoherence. Sanada can feel the ache of anticipation pooling low in his stomach, can see the adrenaline of the game shivering in Raichi’s shoulders like an explosion waiting to go off, and he knows, knows in the prickle under his skin and the tilt of Raichi’s hips and the breathless, shared gasp of their breathing in the air. But still. “Tell me,” steady, certain, a tone that leaves no space to run, that hems replies into refusal or acceptance without a gap in the middle. “Raichi. Do you want this?” “Sanada-senpai,” Raichi chokes, his tone lurching on desperation, fingers dragging over the tile. “Please.” “You have to tell me,” Sanada says, as unmoving as Raichi is trembling. “Is this okay?” “Sa--” Raichi starts, stops, chokes on the name like it’s costing him coherency. There’s a pause, a deep breath, and then, in a rush: “I want.” “You want me to fuck you?” Sanada says, repeating just for the slur of the words on his tongue. He tips his hips forward, lets himself slide an inch into the heat of Raichi’s body, and Raichi groans, long and low and so drawlingly loud Sanada has a flicker of concern that they actually will get caught, that one of their teammates will hear, that the door will open and the excitement of possibility will collapse into the panic of reality. But Raichi is shivering, is blurting “Yes” with fire on the word, and Sanada doesn’t think of stopping the steady-slow thrust of his hips as he slides into the other boy. “God,” he says, spilling the words to catch heat on the water in the air, tipping himself forward to breathe hard off Raichi’s skin. “Raichi, you feel so good.” He’s moving slow, finding a gentle rhythm to his motion, but Raichi is gasping anyway, choking on the water in the air and shaking like he’s coming apart, whimpering something half a groan and half appreciation against the weight of the humidity. Sanada kisses his shoulder, drags his teeth over the unmarked skin, and Raichi trembles with some suggestion of his usual fragility as Sanada draws back to thrust in again, deeper this time, urging Raichi’s body out of the mid-game tension that is still thrumming under his lips. “You’re so good,” Sanada says, even though Raichi’s not listening to him; it’s the tone that matters, the soothing certainty of his voice, and then he reaches out and around, slides his fingers down the trembling taut of Raichi’s stomach as slowly as he can bear. Raichi keens as Sanada’s fingers dip down to his hips, as Sanada’s touch skims the base of his cock; Sanada kisses him again, wordless comfort hot on his lips, and drags his fingers up slow so he can feel the way Raichi tenses around him at the touch. “Good,” he says again, pointless and incoherent, tightens his fingers against the resistance of Raichi’s cock. Raichi chokes off a sound, a weird broken noise, and Sanada shifts his grip, feels the texture of the other’s skin against his baseball-callused hands, reaches for the gentleness required from fingers deliberately strengthened for pitching. Raichi groans when he slides his thumb in against the head of the other’s cock, does it again when Sanada tips his hips back to thrust in deep, and Sanada can feel his attention failing him, his awareness of the door and the heat and even the wet of the shower fading away as the slow slide of his hand over Raichi’s length and the rhythmic thrust of his cock into the other boy’s body fall into perfect harmony. Raichi’s rocking back, thrusting forward, caught between the two sensations and clearly unable to pick a preference, and Sanada can’t quite catch his breath for the warm in the air, for the purr of a laugh that keeps spilling against the strain in Raichi’s shoulders. “You’re so good,” he says again, punctuates with a thrust that fires electric up his spine and jolts Raichi into another moan, this one enough to catch an echo off the tiled walls. Sanada’s arm is aching from the force of holding himself up, but Raichi is shaking, trembling as if he’s about to step out onto the field, hot with the adrenaline that turns him into something wild and fearless instead of the shy creature Sanada usually knows. But they’re both Raichi, the manic determination and the shaking nerves, and Sanada has them both right now, framed in the shadow of his shoulders and trembling incoherent whimpers to the tile around them. “Raichi, you’re so good” and he strokes up hard, tightening his fingers with the confidence of conviction, and Raichi jerks, wails a broken startled sound and comes so suddenly even Sanada is surprised. He’s gasping for air, sucking in liquid and water alike in coughing desperation, and Sanada can feel the pulses of orgasm tighten around him, the pleasure wringing itself out of Raichi’s body to leave him drained and shaky and exhausted. Sanada keeps moving through it, fucks Raichi right through the trembling waves of heat, and by the time Raichi’s tension subsides into boneless languor all Sanada has to do is catch his hold at Raichi’s skinny hip, brace him in place against the last of his thrusts, and he slides over the edge himself, the air in his lungs going incandescent and Raichi’s name on his lips like cinnamon, sweet and spicy enough to burn. He pulls back sooner than he’d like to. Sanada prefers to linger close, to let his afterglow bleed Raichi out of his own superheated warmth and into something closer to ordinary human temperature. But Raichi is shaking himself into dangerous footing, and aside from the risk of getting caught they have to get back to the team and to the bus that will take them home. So Sanada eases back, regains his footing so he can catch Raichi’s hips between his hands and lower the other boy down to the floor of the shower and away from the threat of complete collapse. Raichi is too shaky to protest Sanada washing him clean, at least with anything beyond a whimpered “Sanada-senpai” that Sanada is perfectly content to hush to silence with a kiss against Raichi’s damp lips. The rest of the team is nearly ready when they emerge. The warmth of satisfaction fades into the excitement of packing up the equipment, the first and second and third check that they have everything and everyone, and the next time Sanada has a moment to think the bus is pulling out of the parking lot, the space inside filled with boys and equipment and the chatter of voices tangling over each other to form a warm web of conversation. And there’s Raichi at his side, tucked between the view of the window and the relative barrier of Sanada’s shoulders, tipping in to press his head against the other’s arm and subside into the shy silence so different from his on-field persona. Sanada shifts his arm to fall around Raichi’s shoulders, fits his fingers into a hold on the other’s arm. Raichi doesn’t look up, even when Sanada takes advantage of the high seat backs to ghost a kiss at the top of his head, but Sanada doesn’t need to see his face to know he’s flushing crimson at this indication of affection, embarrassed now as he wasn’t even stripped bare and stretched open in the showers. Sanada smiles out the window, gazes at the scenery going by without seeing any of it for the warm press of Raichi against his side. He has always liked the contradiction.
