Notes So, I don't have any grand delusions about how good this fic is, I just really wanted to write about Horikawa jacking off guiltily. Thanks to @_horikane and @blooobby on Twitter for the prompt, and for talking out a few of the ideas that I incorporated here! If you wanna talk more to me about HoriKane, check out my Twitter @toukenranbabes. “You sure you don’t wanna join us, Hori?” Kane-san yells from the volleyball court he’s standing on, eyes shining bright. “No, it’s okay, you’ve got a good 2-on-2 game going. I’ll just watch,” Horikawa assures from the sidelines. In reality, Horikawa is afraid that if he stands up, there would be one immediate issue that everyone would notice. And he really doesn’t want that to happen. It’s a summer afternoon much like any other, and Kane-san has been playing volleyball with he and Horikawa’s childhood friends Kiyomitsu and Yasusada, along with a boy they have just met recently, Mutsunokami. Horikawa had been playing with them for a bit, enjoying feeling the smack of the volleyball against his arms and the sand beneath his feet (in an enclosed area far, far away from any water). He had really just stepped out for a moment to let Kiyomitsu sub in for him--a bit unwillingly--while he rested, but then. Kane-san had to go and take off his shirt. Of course it’s hot outside, but Horikawa really wishes that he hadn’t done that. Horikawa is trying his best to look at the volleyball, at his friends, at the sky, at anything but Kane-san’s bare chest, a light sheen of sweat covering his shoulders and chest and abs. But there isn’t much to look at that isn’t Kane- san, to him. Kane-san with his effervescent smile and long hair, in constant motion. Horikawa has been horrified with himself for approximately the past five minutes, because he has a boner underneath his khaki shorts that he’s trying desperately to hide with the picnic table he’s sitting at. This can’t be happening to me, why me, why now? Why at all even? Horikawa panics to himself. It’s not that Horikawa hasn’t noticed before that Kane-san is no longer the small thirteen-year old he still sometimes thinks of him as, just growing into his limbs and a child in all respects. Kane-san is now sixteen years old, having reached his full height and begun to fill out. He is nearly glowing on the volleyball court, laughing loudly as some joke or another that Mutsunokami has said. They talk rapidly back and forth, smiles seeming to reflect one another’s, and Horikawa turns his head. He is glad to say that he isn’t jealous of Mutsunokami, but he does realize that he brings something out of Kane-san that is different than what Horikawa himself can offer. Mutsunokami is always bright and cheerful and hilarious, and Kane-san has opened up immensely due to having Mutsunokami in many of his classes at school. Horikawa’s only real problem is the one between his legs, and the one he can’t seem to shake. If he were at home he’d simply take a cold shower, but at this rate he’ll need to sit at the table for the rest of the time they’re out. It doesn’t seem like Kane-san is getting any more inclined to put his shirt back on. Horikawa sighs, shoulders tense, and moves his gaze back to the court, Kane- san’s broad shoulders flashing at him as he dives by. ---------- By the time that the game had ended, Horikawa’s dick had thankfully gone down, at least enough to appear normal. He had faked a stomach illness as his reason for not playing again, and walks home with Kane-san, interjecting sentences into their conversation on autopilot. As Kane-san waves goodbye, his mouth stretched in a grin, Horikawa can’t quite meet his smile with making it part grimace. Thankfully, Kane-san doesn’t seem to notice. Horikawa bolts upstairs the moment that the door closes behind him, thankful that his parents are still going to be at work for another few hours. He plants himself heavily on his bed, rumpling the perfectly made sheets, and takes multiple deep breaths. Horikawa can’t believe, still, that he’d reacted the way he had to Kane-san playing volleyball earlier. Kane-san, why does it have to be him? It couldn’t have been anyone else, some celebrity or acquaintance or anything? Horikawa’s stomach feels queasy from guilt. Kane-san is so pure and awkward at heart, the boy he has seen grow up, a boy who respects him and looks up to him as an older brother, almost. And Horikawa wants to do things to him. Kiss him, touch him, see his bright blue eyes glaze over when he-- No. I can’t do this, Horikawa tries to plead to himself, to little avail. He looks down to see his bulge is back in full, and he can’t ignore it anymore, much as he’d like to. Horikawa runs sweaty palms in an anxious motion across the top of his khaki shorts, and then decides to strip them off in one quick go. He falls back onto his bed, resituating himself and trying to think as little as possible about what he’s about to do. Oh, sure, he could go and take a cold shower. But something is keeping him on the bed this time, and maybe some part of Horikawa wants to be doing this too. Horikawa closes his eyes, feeling the sweat on his body that is partly the humidity in the room and partly his own. He slides one jittery hand down, unzipping his shorts, shucking them off and casting them aside. Horikawa wrenches his eyes shut further, trying to delude himself into believing that he can relieve his urges without thinking anything impure. In the end, though, he just can’t. His mind flicks back to a highlight reel of Kane-san, and he isn’t guilty enough yet to stop what he’s about to do. As he grips his dick in the palm of his hand, skin already a bit slick and sticky from hours of frustration, he remembers how beautiful Kane-san had looked earlier at the court. Kane-san’s long black hair is the longest it’s ever been, reaching to the swell of his ass without covering it, long and tumbling and silky. Horikawa has run his hands through it before, but as he strokes himself to painful hardness he imagines running his hands through it in a new way. Imagines Kane-san’s long strands of hair curtaining his face as they kiss, pictures himself brushing that hair back to kiss at his neck, kiss lower, even. Horikawa tries to let the fantasy go uninterrupted for just a moment, but then he’s remembering that Kane-san would never do that, he’s innocent and trusting and he would be revolted if he knew what Horikawa was doing right now. Horikawa moans, part in sexual frustration and in guilt as he tries to push back those thoughts. He thinks of going further down, hand playing idly with the red earrings Kane- san has taken to wearing. He would kiss one of those darkened nipples that he saw before, imagines pressing his lips to the delicate sides of his hipbones, and down. Horikawa swirls his hand around the head of his cock, leaking in earnest, now. “God,” Horikawa sobs out, his eyes beginning to prickle with shame even as he keeps them shut. Horikawa wants to think that if he can’t see what he’s doing it isn’t really happening, but even he knows that that’s a lie. He jacks himself faster, bringing his left hand to stroke along his thighs in a twisted fantasy of what Kane-san’s touch would be like. With how worked up he is, it isn’t a stretch for Horikawa’s imagination to go even further. He pictures Kanesan on his back, chest bare, thighs spread to the side. Kane-san’s hair would fan out beautifully, a flush high on his cheeks as he struggles for breath. In Horikawa’s fantasy, Kane-san is more than okay with submitting himself to Horikawa in this way, and Horikawa can feel his body tightening in anticipation as he imagines himself spreading Kane-san, sinking deep into him. “Kane-san, I’m--so sorry,” Horikawa says with a crack in his voice, but the Kane-san in his mind just wrenches his face up in pleasure even more. As Horikawa feels himself start to come, he pictures pulling out and coming on Kane-san’s defined stomach, marking it with drips of white. In reality, Horikawa starts to blink his eyes open, slowly, and his stomach drops like a rock. Horikawa feels sticky and glued to his bed and nauseous, but he doesn’t think he can convince himself that he won’t do this again. He doesn’t know in the world he’s going to face Kane-san tomorrow.
