Then, during their junior year, Yuu's world turns upside down when his smut binder gets switched up with Mika's math binder. A Mikayuu AU Notes Hey, you guys! Welcome to my second Owari no Seraph fanfic, It All Started With A Smut Binder! So, I'm kind of pulling all the stops with this one, ranging from many different kinks, if you haven't read the tags above. There is underage sex, since Mika and Yuu are both 17 when they do engage in sexual activities and at some point, there WILL be a rape fantasy involved somewhere in the middle of the story, so the rape/non-con tag will be added as well when we get there. If this is something that you are clearly not interested in, either skip to the parts where there aren't any smut scenes or just don't read at all. If a flame appears, I will extinguish it with the click of the delete button. I will try to keep everyone in character, but I might stray a little, just like how I did in my previous fic, Seoul Lights. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read onward! :D *Here are the warnings for this chapter: Language, YAOI (boyxboy), blindfolds, some rough play, mentions of food play ***** Binder Swap ***** I could feel his fingers thread themselves through my hair. He then created a fist, pulling on it as he moved in to whisper in my ear. "Well? How does it feel? Do you like being dominated by me?" he purred softly, hot breath landing on my ear.  I could not hold back the wanton moan that escaped my lips. The way he purred in that husky, low voice of his turned me on. It felt like electricity was surging through my body. "Tell me." he played a little with the black bandana that was wrapped around my eyes. "Do you like it?" "Yes...oh god, yes, I love i- - -Ah!" I could feel his other hand go to tweak with one of my nipples. I continued to moan into the pillow as his hand slid further down to cup my ass cheek. "You dirty slut. You want me bad, don't you?" he asked. "Give it to me, please...!" I cried out. "Okay, then. I mean, I already prepared you, so there is no point in waiting." he said. I could feel something poke at my entrance. He was getting ready to enter me. I braced myself as the tip began to penetrate me. Then, without warning, he pushed himself in completely. A loud moan ripped through my throat as "Class is dismissed! Go to lunch!" A guy with black hair and green eyes startled himself out of his reverie and he looked down at the paper that he had written on. "I didn't get to write as much as I wished I could..." he mumbled. "Oi! Yuu!" Yuu turned his head to look at a guy with brown hair and green eyes. "Yoichi..." he trailed off. "Well, no duh. Who else would it be?" Yoichi beamed at him. "Are we going to lunch or are you going to keep staring at the contents of your beloved smut binder?" he spoke teasingly. "Geez, Yoichi, shut up!" he complained as he slammed the binder shut and stuffing it into his bag, causing Yoichi to laugh as they walked out of their history classroom. Yuu liked writing stories a lot. When he first started out in eighth grade, he wrote some psychological thrillers and mystery stories. But, as he continued writing, he felt like it wasn't enough. Then came the love of his life: Mika Shindo. Mika was the hottest male in Seraph High when Yuu entered high school. And he still is. With luscious blond hair, sparkling blue eyes, an athletic build, and a charming personality, who could not love him? He currently plays on the Seraph High tennis team. Yuu liked him. But, it stretched beyond that. He had fallen madly in love with the blond. However, they were worlds apart. Mika was an athlete while Yuu was an ordinary person that loved writing. So, he couldn't help but fantasize about him. That was when the smut binder came to life. After having a wet dream about Mika one night, Yuu wrote down everything that had happened and since then, he began writing smut about him and Mika in that binder. His friends teased him about it, but still loved him all the same. Yuu followed Yoichi into the cafeteria, where his friends were waiting. "Ah." a girl with light purple hair in a side bun and brown eyes took a sip from her strawberry smoothie. "Yoichi and cherry boy finally made it." she stated. "Were you caught up in your wild fantasies again?" a guy with short, pink hair and red-violet eyes behind glasses jeered. "Screw off, Kimizuki." Yuu snapped at the pink-haired guy as he sat down next to Yoichi. The light purple-haired girl said nothing as she threw a Twinkie in his direction. "Here, take it. I wasn't going to eat it, anyway." she said. "Thanks, Shinoa." Yuu replied as he took the Twinkie from her and he unwrapped it. He bit into it as Yoichi let out an exasperated sigh. "Haaaaah!" he spread out across the table. "That history test was horrible!" he complained. "Was it that bad?" Kimizuki asked. "Well, most of the material on there wasn't even what we covered over the past two weeks..." Yoichi murmured. "But, it's about the Battle of Nagoya. That shit is easy." Kimizuki pointed out. "It is!" Yoichi whined. "But then again, it's Mr. Kureto we're talking about. He expects us to know more than we actually know." Shinoa pointed out. "That is very true." Kimizuki said. "Ugh, I'm gonna fail that class..." Yoichi groaned. "And you?" Shinoa turned her attention to Yuu. "How do you think you did on that test? You took it with Yoichi, too." she asked. "Eh. I guess it was fine." Yuu replied. "That's not exactly a good response." Kimizuki noted. "He was probably writing his gay porn again." a female voice piped in from behind Yoichi. "Wagh!" Yoichi exclaimed, nearly jumping out of his chair as he whipped his head around to look at a blonde with purple eyes. "Mi-Mitsuba!" Yoichi complained. "Yo!" she wedged herself in between Yuu and Yoichi. "Well? Yuu, you never answered my question." she said. "Huh?" Yuu questioned as he finished his Twinkie. "Were you writing gay porn during the test?" Mitsuba asked. "Wh..." Yuu's face turned an embarrassing shade of red. "Why would you think that?!" he shouted in shock. This made Mitsuba laugh. "You are way too readable." she commented. "But I wasn't even doing that during the test!" Yuu stated. "However, he was writing some after the test..." Yoichi trailed off. "Geez, you never seem to run out of perverted ideas, do you?" Kimizuki asked. "Oh, shut up!" Yuu rolled his eyes at Kimizuki. "It's not my fault that I have dirty fantasies about him." he said. "Okay, that is too much information." Kimizuki stated. "I didn't even go into much detail!" Yuu pointed out. "And you don't need to! Because," Mitsuba waved a familiar blue binder in Yuu's face, "I'll read it for you!" she chirped. Yuu could only gawk as Mitsuba opened the binder and flipped it to a random page. She scanned the page before reading it. "I had always grimaced at the thought of food play. I mean, how could that be enjoyable? But then, as Mika sprayed some whip cream onto my nipples, I couldn't help but feel like my mind would be changed. He topped it off with a slice of strawberry and then he licked it up, his teeth nibbling on my hardened- - -" she was cut off by Yuu. "Oh my god, Mitsuba, come on!" he whined, his face resembling a beet as he tried to get the binder from her. Mitsuba giggled as she handed it to Shinoa, who looked the page over. She then smirked. "Food play, huh. That sounds like an interesting kink, if I do say so myself." she said, wiggling her eyebrows. "Come on, just give it back already!" =============================================================================== Yuu walked through the hall, his binder pressed closely to his chest as Yoichi spoke. "Yuu, you know they were just teasing you." he said. "I know that. But, sometimes they push the envelope too much." Yuu stated. Yoichi sighed. "Don't worry about it. I'll get them to apologize to you later this evening." he said as they arrived at their lockers. They both unlocked them and they began to reach for their math textbooks and notebooks. Yuu pulled his book and red spiral notebook out and closed his locker, locking it back with the combination lock. "Hey, do you think Mr. Ichinose will give us a pop quiz today?" Yuu asked. "Hm, knowing him, he might." Yoichi closed his locker and locked it, shooting a glance at Yuu. "Isn't he your legal guardian? You could at least ask him." he pointed out. "I would if only he weren't constantly grading papers and cursing some of his students late into the night." Yuu pointed out. "I guess you're right." Yoichi said as they resumed walking down the busy hallway. They made their way over to the math wing and they turned the corner as Yuu bumped into someone. "Ack!" Yuu exclaimed as he hit the floor. "Oh my god, Yuu! Are you o- - -" Yoichi stopped. "Oh shit." he said. Yuu didn't hear Yoichi over the loud sounds of people talking in the hallway as he spoke. "Oh my god! I am so, so sorry! I did not see where I was going. Are you alri- - -" he looked up to gaze into blue eyes. He paled, quickly realizing who it was. "Shit..." the person brushed some blond locks out of their eyes. "It's him. It's freaking Mika!" his mind screamed. "No, it was my fault. I was so deep in thought that I didn't see you. Are YOU okay?" Mika asked. Yuu could hear his heart race a mile a minute. "Um...y-yeah..." he stuttered out ad he reached to grab for his stuff. He picked up his binder and books as Mika helped him up. "I'll...I'll try to watch where I'm going next time..." Yuu murmured. Mika chuckled, sending shivers throughout Yuu's body. "You don't need to be sorry." he reached out to ruffle Yuu's hair. "Besides, it was all me." he said before walking off. Yuu stood there, stunned by what had just happened. Did his crush just talk to him? "Oh my god, Yuu!" Yuu was shaken out of his reverie as Yoichi got up in his face. "I can't believe you actually ran into Mika!" he exclaimed. "I...I can't believe it, either..." Yuu trailed off. "And not only that, you spoke to him! You spoke to "the" Mika Shindo!" that was when the warning bell rang. "Shit! We got to get to class or else Mr. Ichinose is going to kill us!" Yoichi exclaimed. "Yup. And I'll get it even worse when I get home." Yuu stated before running down the hall after Yoichi. =============================================================================== Yuu sighed deeply as he plopped down on his bed after his shower.  After enduring one hour of scolding from Guren about being late for math class and working on some math and chemistry homework, he managed to get a break. "Maybe I should finish up that story...who knows what kind of crazy dream I'll have tonight..." he thought to himself. He went over to his backpack and he pulled out a black pen along with his binder. He opened it and that was when he noticed the many math formulas written in pencil in the binder. "What the...? I don't put my math notes in my smut binder. Heck, this stuff doesn't even look like Pre-Calc. This looks more like Calc 1 notes!" he thought to himself. He flipped through the notes before spotting a name on the top right corner on one of the pages. He looked at the name before paling, the color being drawn out of his face. "This...this is Mika's binder..." he trailed off. "How could that be?! Could it have happened when we had bumped into each other earlier today? Did I grab his by mistake? If that is the case, then..." he connected the dots and swore that his life was over at that point. "Shit, Mika has my smut binder!" ***** That Was All He Wrote ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, YAOI (boyxboy), masturbation, prisoner/officer roleplay, wax play Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter of IASWASB (let's just dub it that from now on)! I am really happy for all the support and comments that this story has gotten so far and I thank you guys for it. So, this story will be updated every Sunday and with school coming to a close pretty soon, I might actually get updates out a little quicker. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read onward! :D "Mom, I'm home!"  Mika walked into his house later that evening as he smelled soup coming from the kitchen. "Mika dear, you're back from your tennis practice?" a voice called out to him. "Yes." he replied as he stepped into the kitchen, where a blonde woman with dark brown eyes stood. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail with an apron over her pajamas. Mika smiled before going up and hugging her from behind. "Again with the chicken noodle soup?" he asked. "It's the only thing I can make until I can get my paycheck on Saturday." she explained. "Mom." he pressed a kiss to her temple. "You know I can get a part-time job. I'll help support us." he said. "Mika, I told you many times that you don't have to. You have tennis practice. Plus, the salary I am getting from the grocery mart is enough to help us get by." she explained, turning off the stove. Mika sighed deeply. "Sometimes I wonder why that bastard left us..." he murmured. "Mika, the man you are calling a bastard is your father." his mom whispered softly. "What father? I have no father. All I have is a caring mother." Mika replied. "Geez..." Mika pulled away from the hug as his mom spoke. "Do you have any homework to complete?" she asked. "Just some Calc 1 homework." Mika replied. "Okay. Get that done for me, please. I'm going to make some garlic bread." she told him. Mika nodded. "Alright." he replied before heading out of the kitchen. He made his way over to the entryway, picked up his backpack, and he lugged it up the carpeted stairs to his room. He dropped it down on his queen size bed and he unzipped it. "Time to work on that homework..." he thought to himself as he pulled out his math binder. He took out a couple of pencils and an eraser from his black pencil case and he sat down at his desk, turning the lamp on. He sat down in his leather wheely chair and he cracked it open. What he saw was not his Calc 1 notes, but rather some writing in the form of a story. This made him arch a brow. "Hm? What is this about?" he asked himself. He flipped through the pages in the the binder as he began to think. "Did Crowley and Ferid try to prank me or something?" he wondered to himself. As he turned the page, he spotted his name on the paper. "What is my name doing in here?" he asked himself. He scanned the paper and his eyes widened once he saw what was written on it. Mika handcuffed me, making sure that I couldn't move. It made me feel powerless. But at the same time, it was very arousing. I squirmed around on the floor as Mika got on his knees and whispered in my ear. "Are you ready to be punished, prisoner?" he hissed into my ear. "Yes...yes, punish me..." I panted out. I could hear the sound of a belt unbuckling before feeling his hardened cock penetrate my entrance. With all the prep he had done beforehand, he managed to slip in easily. I moaned. It felt like he was filling me up until nothing else could fit in. I whimpered as he began to thrust into me, my erection and nipples creating a delicious friction against the carpet I laid on. "What the hell..." he murmured out. "Okay, this is DEFINITELYone of Crowley and Ferid's pranks. They wrote porn about me?!" he asked himself. As much as Mika wanted to tear his eyes away from the page, he couldn't help but want to read more. His heart thumped as he continued reading. My head was spinning, the intense pleasure making me see white. "Shit! Shit! Please, more!" I cried out. "Damn, you sure are a needy prisoner." Mika purred as he continued to ran into me. He held onto my handcuffed hands with one hand while steadying himself with a hand against the wall. The tip of his cock nailed my prostate, causing me to scream. My head shot up, nearly hitting the wall before me. Mika bit his lip. "I shouldn't be reading this..." he trailed off. That was when he felt like his pants were tighter than usual. "Ugh...I feel so uncomfortable..." he mumbled. He rolled his eyes down and he blush a bright pink, seeing that a tent had been formed in his sweatpants. "What the heck? I got hard after reading porn about myself? But how can that be? I'm fucking a male in this, for god's sake! I'm straight, not gay!" his mind shouted. However, he couldn't help but slip his hand inside and pull his hardened erection out. He ran a finger around the leaking tip, rubbing pre-cum around with his fingers. "Shit...I need to take care of this..." he trailed off. He flipped to a new page, which was titled Candle Wax. He swallowed. "There's no turning back now..." he thought to himself as he began to read. He had me sprawled out on the floor, bare naked for him to see. He watched me like a hungry predator before kissing me roughly. It was so rough that I swore he was sucking the oxygen out of my body. I could only moan into his mouth as he slipped his tongue in and he stroked my tongue with it. "Mi...ka..." I choked out. "Jesus, you are just so beautiful..." Mika whispered into the kiss before pulling away and peppering kisses down my jawline. Mika began to slowly pump his erection in his hand, bringing his hand up and down the shaft. His teeth dug lightly into the bottom of his lip as he continued to read. Mika returned with a candle in a large candle holder and a small box of matches. I couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do with it. "Mika? What are you going to do with that candle?" I looked around. "Are you trying to set the mood here?" I asked. "Mmmmm, not necessarily. But, I can assure you that it'll turn you on greatly." Mika replied. I could only wait in anticipation, my body allayed out on the wine red sheets of the bed in his bedroom. I heard him swipe a match across the side of the box, igniting a small flame on the top of the match. He brought it to the candle wick and watched as the wax began to melt, making the room smell like lavender and vanilla. He then brought the candle closer to me, startling me a little. "Mi-Mika?" I stuttered out. "Don't worry. It's gonna burn a little at first, but it'll feel good afterwards." Mika said. "What do you- - -" that was when a burning sensation burst through my body. I cried out in shock as I craned my head to see that he had dripped some candle wax onto my chest. "Shit...!" I gasped out. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked. "N-No...! I'll...I'll adjust to it..." I reassured him. Mika continued to pump faster and faster as he imagined the scene unfolding right before him. "Shit..." he murmured as images of him pouring scented candle wax onto another guy's chest flooded into his brain. "I can't believe that I'm seriously turned on by this. I shouldn't be and yet..." Mika tried to bite back a moan. "And yet this person's writing style is drawing me in and making me want more!" his mind shouted. I did not think that Mika was so experienced with candle wax play. He had rubbed me down with lotion and then poured some wax onto my skin before slowly pulling it off in a way that drove me crazy. It was like torture that felt more pleasurable than painful. Maybe I really am a masochist. Another drop of wax fell onto my back, making me cry out. "Oh my god! Shit!" I exclaimed. "Does this turn you on that much?" he asked. "Yes...yes, it does..." I breathed out. "Well then, I gotta make sure you're feeling really good." Mika said as he dripped some more onto my spine. Mika felt himself growing closer to his climax. "Oh god..." he let out a small grunt as he stroked himself faster and faster. "Oh god!" I let out a pleasure-filled moan as the tip of Mika's cock hit my prostate. I swore that my body was shaking due to the immense pleasure. My legs were getting ready to give out, but Mika kept his grip on my hips. "I'm not letting you collapse just yet." he said. I could only moan in response as he thrusted into me harder. I tried my best to meet his thrusts as my vision grew clouded with lust. I then felt something wet touch the skin on my back. I shivered, my eyes widening in surprise as Mika licked and nipped at a red splotch where some candle wax used to be. "Shit...Mika, I'm gonna cum...!" I cried out. "Go ahead, then. Cum all over the bedsheets." Mika purred into my ear, causing me to moan loudly as my climax hit me hard. "Fuck!" Mika exclaimed as his climax hit him, squirting cum into his hand. His body shook as he thrusted into his hand so that he could ride out his climax. He managed to catch his breathing after a little while as he heard his mother call out to him. "Mika! Dinner's ready!" she called out. Mika slowly withdrew his hand from his now limp cock and his eyes widened in horror, seeing the sticky semen that had coated his hand white. "I...I actually came..." he trailed off. "I jacked off to a piece of gay smut and actually enjoyed it." Mika reached for a tissue in a tissue box by the lamp on his desk and he wiped himself. "I cannot believe that actually happened..." he thought to himself. "Mika!" his mom called out. "I'm coming! Just a second!" he responded. He quickly tossed the soiled tissue into the trash bin by his nightstand and he turned back to look at the binder. "Whose binder IS this? Whoever wrote this must really be lusting for me..." he trailed off. He kept flipping the pages in search of a name until he found a paper in the left pocket of the binder. He took it out and spotted the person's name. "Yuichiro Ichinose...?" he questioned. "The hell is that? I don't think I know who that is..." he thought to himself. He then recalled when he had bumped into that boy from earlier today. "Ah. So, that boy must be Yuichirou. Come to thunk of it, he's in my Chemistry class. Maybe I'll return it to him tomorrow and just pretend that this whole ordeal never happened." he thought to himself. He nodded to himself before closing the binder and heading downstairs for dinner. =============================================================================== Yuu swore that his life was over. He hunched over his lab table in Chemistry as Shinoa spoke. "Look, how could you know that he even has your binder?" she asked. "Because the last time I saw it was when we bumped into each other in the hall!" Yuu complained. Shinoa sighed. "Are you sure you checked everywhere in the house?" she asked. "I did. And I still couldn't find anything." Yuu explained. "Well, maybe try lost and found." Shinoa suggested. "I don't know where that is." Yuu stated. "Ask Mitsuba. She'll take you there." Shinoa said. Yuu couldn't help but breath out an exasperated sigh. "Shinoa, I am so fucked." he said as the bell rang. The teacher groaned on and on about the lab they were going to do and to get into partner groups. Shinoa tapped his arm lightly. "I'm gonna go get the materials, okay?" she said. "Mmmmhmmm." Yuu hummed in response as Shinoa slid off her stool and she went to go grab two worksheets along with some materials. Yuu sighed. "Someone kill me now..." he grumbled under his breath. That was when he felt something lightly hit him on the head. "Hm?" he murmured. He slowly looked up and he felt his jaw nearly hit the table. "Hi, Yuichirou." the person spoke, a dazzling smile on their face. Yuu could only stare at the person before him. He then reached to pinch himself before wincing a little at the slight pain. "AND I'm not imagining things." bright blue eyes stared back at him. "Mika actually approached me!" his mind shouted. "Um...hello?" Mika's voice brought him back into reality. "Ah!" Yuu's heart nearly leapt out of his chest. "Um...you can just call me Yuu." he said. "Okay, Yuu." Mika replied. "So...can I help you?" Yuu asked. "Yes, you can, actually." Mika replied. He then leaned in towards Yuu, causing the boy to nearly stumble off the stool he was sitting in. "I-I can?" he questioned, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice. "Mmmmhmmm." Mika drew even closer, his lips hovering over Yuu's. "You sure can." he purred softly. His heart was beating like crazy. It was like he had just run a marathon and he could not calm himself down after crossing the finish line. His cheeks flared a bright red as his eyes squeezed shut. But, when Mika didn't do anything, he slowly opened an eye to see that Mika had withdrawn. "I believe this is yours." Mika said, bringing a familiar blue binder into view. Yuu watched the binder before his eyes widened in horror. "Ah! My binder!" he quickly snatched it out of the blond's hands. "I was wondering where it went..." he trailed off. "I think our binders got swapped when we bumped into each other." Mika explained. "I think so, too. Oh, and before I forget," Yuu reached for his backpack and he unzipped it, yanking out a blue binder that looked exactly like his, "here's your Math binder." he said. "Thank you very much." Mika said as he took the binder. As Mika took the binder from Yuu, he took a chance to glance at Yuu's binder. "Just know that I didn't read anything." he said before heading back over to his lab table with his partner, who had silver hair tied back into a ponytail with a black silk ribbon and ruby red eyes. "O-Okay..." he knew that Mika wouldn't hear him, but he decided to stutter it out, anyway. He could only stare at the binder as he began to think. "He didn't read it, huh...Well, I'm glad he didn't. He'd probably think I'm disgusting if he did..." he thought to himself. He ran a finger along the front cover of the binder as Shinoa returned with the materials for the lab. "Here you go." she handed Yuu a worksheet and she set the materials down. "Apparently, we're looking at the properties in glucose and star- - -" she then spotted the binder sitting in Mika's lap. "Is that...?!" she asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah. Mika gave me my binder back." Yuu explained. "Wait, Mika...?!" she quickly looked around the classroom and gawked once she saw Mika over by his station. "Shit, he IS in this class!" she exclaimed. "Shinoa...!" Yuu whined. "Okay, okay." Shinoa took out the Bunsen burner and she hooked the tube up onto the gas nozzle in the table. "Well, at least you got your lovely smut writings back." she said. "Like you couldn't be any louder..." Yuu grumbled in annoyance. As they began to set up their lab, Yuu failed to notice how Mika was staring at him. ***** He Could Be Lying ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, mentions of masturbation, dirty talk, mentions of sex Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I'm back with another chapter of IASWASB! So, I've been feeling like shit lately because I caught the cold right before my finals (ugh *coughs*), but now that I am out of the woods, I am feeling much more better. And with school quickly coming to a close, it's time to pump out those chapters! :) I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D "I'm so glad you found it!" Yoichi exclaimed as Yuu and the others sat at a secluded table in the school library during their study hall period.  Yuu nodded as he took out his binder. "Yeah. I was scared out of my life, but now that I found it, I can be at ease." he stated. "Who had your smut, anyway?" Mitsuba asked. "I believe that Yuu said it was Mika." Shinoa said. "What?! How could Mika have it?!" Mitsuba shouted in shock, earning her some glares from students that were trying to study. "Mika and Yuu had a small encounter yesterday and their stuff fell, probably causing the binders to get switched around. Plus, they looked exactly the same, so it was hard for me to tell that he had grabbed the wrong binder." Yoichi explained. "Oh, I see." Mitsuba said. Yuu cracked open his binder to a new page and he began to dig through the pocket on the side of his backpack as he heard Kimizuki speak. "So? Did Mika happen to read all of the dirty things that you've written about the two of you?" he asked. "Hey, maybe Mika jacked off to one of your many smut stories." Mitsuba suggested. Yuu's face turned a beet red. "N-No! Besides, Mika said he didn't look in it..." Yuu trailed off. "What a gentleman!" Yoichi opened his history textbook. "He wanted to respect your privacy." he said. "You really think that?" Shinoa twirled some hair around her finger. "For all you know, he could be lying." she pointed out. "True." Mitsuba agreed. "W-Wait, you think he might be?!" Yuu squeaked out in shock. "Who knows? It's not like you could read Mika's mind or anything." Mitsuba stated. "Ya know, she's got a point." Kimizuki noted as he took out a copy of Hamlet from his black messenger bag and opened it. "Guys, stop making Yuu panic!" Yoichi watched him, concern washing over his features. "Look, Mika is a man of his word. He would never do such a thing." he reassured him. "How would you know that? You've never even spoken to the guy." Kimizuki stated, not looking up from the pages of his book. "Exactly. Not many people can come close to 'the' Mikaela Shindo unless one, you're a jock or two, you have some sort of connection to him." Shinoa said. "Well...he's always a nice person in my PE class...he's a good leader and he is also very honest." Yoichi pointed out. "Well, Yoichi's made his case, Shinoa." Mitsuba stated. Yuu chose to zone them out as he began to start on his next story, which he labeled Talk Dirty to Me. I heard my phone ringing from on the nightstand in my room. I reached for it and answered it without taking a look at the caller id. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey, Yuu-chan." a familiar, deep voice purred into my ear through the speaker huskily. Shivers rang through me, instantly recognizing the person on the other end. "Mika..." I breathed out. "I've been missing you lately." Mika purred. "R-Really?" I stuttered out. "Why, of course. Besides, you're my boyfriend. How could I not miss you?" I giggled as Mika continued to speak. "Being at these tournaments makes me so exhausted sometimes. I get VERY pent up, if you know what I mean." I couldn't help but blush. I knew what he was trying to do with me. "Are you dirty talking me, babe?" I asked. "Hm, who knows." I rolled my eyes at his playful attitude as I put my phone on speaker. I rested it on my bed as he spoke. "Say I am. Would you get turned on?" Before Yuu could write out the next sentence, he felt Shinoa kick his leg lightly. "What?" he whispered. "I need you to find me a book." she whispered back. "What?" he could hear Mitsuba snort at something Kimizuki said as he looked at Shinoa. "Why can't you go get it yourself?" he hissed. "Because I'm too short, cherry boy. Also, you wouldn't treat a lady like that." Shinoa explained. This made Yuu scoff. "Whoever said that you were a lady?" he asked. "Why you...!" Yuu quickly got out of his chair as Shinoa tried to smack him on the forehead. "Go and get me my damn book. It's called Divergent and it should be in the science fiction section." she said. "Yeah, yeah." Yuu said before heading over to the shelves that were chockfull of science fiction books. He ran his finger along the spines of the books, searching for the book that Shinoa wanted to read. As his finger touched the spine of one of the three Catching Fire copies on the shelf, he recalled what Shinoa had said before. "You really think that? For all you know, he could be lying." he bit his lip as he began to think. "Could he be lying? I mean, I wouldn't put it past Shinoa for her crazy accurate intuition, but I don't think that Mika would do such a thing. Unless..." he trailed off in his thoughts. He didn't get to complete that thought as he looked up to see the book that Shinoa wanted. "There it is!" he thought to himself. He extended his hand up to grab for the book, getting on his tiptoes to give himself more height. However, he could not grab the book. "I can't believe this...Who in the world would put the book so high up?!" he asked himself. He tried to reach for it again as another hand shot up and took the book off the shelf. "Huh?" he asked himself as he turned to see Mika standing beside him with the book in his hand. He swore he was about to pass out as the blond spoke. "Is this the book you need?" he asked, his voice as smooth as silk. A shiver ran down Yuu's spine as he spoke. "Y-Yeah...that's the book I'm looking for..." he trailed off as he took the book from him. "I didn't know that you were into the Divergent series like everyone else." Mika commented. "Oh no, I'm not the one reading it. My friend sent me over here to get it for her. She's been meaning to read the series for a while now..." Yuu explained. "I see." Mika replied. "So...what are you doing over here?" Yuu asked. "I needed to work on some of my Calc 1 homework in silence, so I came here. I kind of wanted to take a break and read a nice book." Mika watched him. "You seem like you could be a reader. Is there anything that you would recommend?" he asked. "U-Um...well, my tastes are usually different from everyone else's, so I don't think asking me would really help you mu- - -" Mika cut him off. "I insist, though." Mika trapped him against the bookshelf. "You having different tastes in books just makes you unique. And unique people interest me." he purred. Yuu felt his cheeks begin to burn as he gazed up into the blue eyes that he admired. "W-Well...I read a lot of manga and also..." he diverted his gaze. "I...I read romance books..." he admitted. "Romance, huh...what kind?" Mika's breath ghosted down his cheek, making Yuu more and more nervous. "I prefer...cute ones..." he trailed off. "Cute ones? Hm, that's interesting. I had thought that you would've read more perverted ones just by looking at you." Mika commented. "Wha...?!" Yuu whipped his head to gawk at the blond in surprise only for their noses to lightly brush against one another. Yuu's eyes widened in surprise. "Shit...!" his mind screamed. "So? Any that you would recommend?" Mika asked. "Too...close...!" Yuu wanted nothing more than to just melt into the floor. "My favorite would have to be The Fault in Our Stars. I also like reading Paper Towns." Yuu told him. "Ah, okay. I heard Paper Towns was a good one, so I'll check it out. Thanks for the advice," he leaned in to whisper into his ear, "Yuu-chan." he spoke in a deep, husky voice before pulling away and walking off. As soon as Mika disappeared around the corner, Yuu found himself slumping onto the floor. "Oh my god..." he trailed off, a hand flying over his racing heart. "That was too close. I swore that I was going to pass out if he had continued!" he thought to himself. He slowly stood up from the floor and he began to head back to the table Shinoa and the others were at. He then stopped in the middle of the hallway. "Wait a second. Something seems off." he thought to himself. He then recalled what Mika had said before leaving him alone. "Thanks for the advice, Yuu-chan." that was when realization struck him. How did Mika know about the nickname Yuu-chan? =============================================================================== Yuu made his way down the hall after school, making his way over to the bike rack. He unlocked it, hopped on it, and he pedaled away. "Since Guren is going by Shinya's tonight for some party, I might as well buy myself something to eat at the convenience store. I've got twenty bucks on me, after all." he thought to himself. He took a left and he biked down towards a convenience store at the corner of the street. He parked his bike and he stepped inside. He stuffed a hand into the pocket of the black hood that he wore and he walked around the store in search of something to eat. "Hm...what should the menu be tonight...?" he wondered to himself. He decides on a beef and cheese burrito a few minutes later along with a glass bottle filled with root beer and a bag of Funyuns. He also picked up a Snickers candy bar and paid for his food. He stepped out of the store and was about to head back over to his bike when he heard a loud voice. "Dude, you got laid?!" Yuu jolted in shock, quickly hiding behind the building without much thought to it. "Shit...I could've sworn that that voice belonged to one of the tennis players at school." he thought to himself. He poked his head around the corner curiously as he paled. "Shit! I was right!" he watched as a guy with silver hair and red eyes and a guy with black and red hair and red eyes made their way over to a small table by a DVD kiosk with a familiar blond in tow. "Well, yeah. She was a total hottie and plus, she was hitting on me." the red and black haired guy said. "Damn! You aren't a player for nothing!" the silver haired guy exclaimed. "Crowley Eusford, Ferid Bathory, and..." Yuu watched as the blond rolled his eyes. "Mika..." he thought to himself. "Gosh, you guys are seriously ridiculous..." Mika muttered. "Mika, you seriously need to get yourself laid." Crowley said. "Yeah! What about that cheerleader chick? Um...wasn't her name Krul Tepes or something?" Ferid asked. "Ugh, no." Mika replied. "Geez, you're such a shy virgin." Crowley commented. "Screw the hell off, Crowley." Mika snapped, smacking him in the back of the head with his tennis racket. Crowley laughed as Ferid spoke. "But, seriously. Get laid. It's one of the best experiences a man can experience. Hey, how about this? We go to Crowley's party this weekend and we find you a woman to fuck." Ferid suggested. "No. Like I said, I'm not into that kind of shit." Mika stated. "But, you at least jack off to something, right? Maybe a porn video or two?" Crowley asked. Mika stared at his racket before speaking. "Well, I did jack off to a piece of writing last night." Mika admitted. This made Yuu nearly choke on his spit. "Wh-What?! He read smut last night?!" his mind screamed in shock. "You read smut?!" Crowley exclaimed. "Well, I usually don't, but the person that wrote it had this writing style that drew me in. I pretty much read all 356 stories that they wrote in there." Mika explained. "Damn. That person seems to really enjoy writing smut." Ferid commented. "So? What kind of smut was it?" Crowley asked. "Well..." Mika drummed his fingers along the surface of the table. "It had a lot of kinky stuff in it. And to be honest, I thought you guys had pranked me." Mika explained. "Us? Pranking you with smut?" Crowley questioned. "Why would you think that?" Ferid asked. "Well...my name was in every single piece of smut, so I thought it was you guys..." Mika trailed off. Yuu's eyes widened, alarm bells ringing in his head as Shinoa's words came back to him. "You really think that? For all you know, he could be lying." the words taunted him as he let out a small curse. "Okay, I need to leave before they somehow notice me." he thought to himself. He turned and got ready to make a run for it when he tripped on his bright blue shoelace. "Fuck...!" he exclaimed as he face planted on the sidewalk. The root beer bottle crashed to the floor and broke, causing Yuu's eyes to widen as he looked at it. "Aw, come on! I spent two dollars on that shit!" he complained. "Whoa, shit, who was that?" he heard Crowley asked. "Who knows...maybe we should check it out?" Ferid suggested. "Holy fuck...!" Yuu breathed out as he managed to pick himself up from the ground and he flew over to his bike, swinging the plastic bag around the handle bar and he sped off. =============================================================================== Mika followed Ferid and Crowley over to where the sound came from. They turned the corner and that was when they saw a broken bottle on the ground. "Someone probably busted this bottle." Ferid pointed out. "Huh. Someone must've had a hissy fit." Crowley commented. "I highly doubt that..." Mika trailed off. "Well, at least it's nothing too huge. I mean, it was only the sound of this bottle breaking. I almost thought a burglary was going on." Ferid stated. Mika looked at the broken glass as he saw what might've been a black leather wallet. "Hm?" he wondered to himself as he picked it up from the ground. "Huh? What is that, Mika?" Ferid asked. "Someone dropped their wallet." Mika said as he flipped it open. He looked at the driver's permit that was sitting inside one of the card holders and he smirked once he saw whose picture it was. "You seem to like losing things, don't you, Yuu-chan...?" he murmured out. ***** I Am So Screwed ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language Chapter Notes Hey, you guys and welcome back to IASWASB! Again, thanks for the outstanding support; it really helps me to push forward :) So, just a couple of small notes before we move on: There are mentions of a crack pairing in here, which is LacusxTomoe. Basically, in this story, Yoichi's sister is being shipped with Lacus. I do not ship this at all, but I felt like I needed to add this in the story, as this will play a role later on. So, just letting you know right now. Oh, and things are starting to pick up just a little! But, the heat'll really turn on once we get to the next chapter. :3 I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D Yuu stood in front of a cream colored house that had a large driveway to the right and a wide front porch. He fished through his jacket pocket and he quickly sent a text to Guren.  [07:31:18pm] Idiot Guren, I'm staying the night by Yoichi's. See you in Math class. That is, if you're not hungover by the time the morning hits. A reply came in seconds later. [07:31:22pm] Whatever. Just don't get yourself arrested. [07:31:31pm] I should be saying the same thing to you [emoji:sweatdrop] Yuu slipped his phone back into his jacket pocket and he walked up to the front porch. He rang the doorbell and he waited for someone to come open the door. He heard the sound of a dog barking and someone shuffling around in hopes of calming the dog down. The door opened to reveal Yoichi, who still had on his clothes from earlier today with a baby blue apron over it. "Hey, Yuu! Come in." he chirped. "Okay..." Yuu trailed off as he stepped inside. He slipped off his sneakers in the entryway by a coat rack as Yoichi spoke. "Follow me. Tomoe is busy trying to calm Azaria down." Yoichi explained. "Okay." Yuu responded, remembering the golden doodle that was barking before. He followed Yoichi into the wide, expansive kitchen that was filled with light colors. He dropped his bag on the granite counter top on the island in the kitchen and he slid into a stool, watching as Yoichi was checking something in the oven. "You should be glad you chose to crash here tonight because I'm making some green bean casserole in the oven! I also fried some chicken legs earlier on." Yoichi explained. "I see. It smells nice." Yuu commented. "Aw, thanks!" Yoichi gushed as a girl that was about an inch and half shorter than him walked into the kitchen. "I put Azaria outside and I've got Tulip roaming arou- - -" she then spotted Yuu. "Ah, hey, Yuu!" she greeted. "Hey." Yuu replied. Tomoe pulled her reddish brown hair into a ponytail with a pink scrunchie as she spoke. "So," she hopped up onto the counter top, "you crashing over here tonight?" she asked. "Yeah." Yuu replied. "Okay." she then looked over at Yoichi. "Yoichi, I'm going out with Lacus to a party later tonight, so you guys got the house to yourself." she said. Yoichi let out an annoyed groan. "Tomoe, you know I don't like that guy. Remember when he nearly got you in that car accident?" he asked. "Yoichi, he said he was sorry! Plus, I love him." she said. This caused Yoichi to let out an exasperated sigh. "Sometimes I feel like I'm the older brother here..." he grumbled, causing her to giggle. "Well, I'm going to get dressed into something more appropriate." Tomoe said as she slid off of the counter. "Don't dress like a slut!" Yoichi called out. "You know better than to use vulgar language, Yoichi!" Tomoe responded before heading up the stairs. Yoichi sighed as he went to check on the green bean casserole. "Geez...I really wish there was some way that I could get her to stop hanging out with Lacus..." Yoichi muttered. "Isn't Lacus on the football team of the college she attends?" Yuu asked. "Yeah. And to be quite honest, I hate football jocks. They're so stuck up and all they care about is drinking, partying, and sex." Yoichi explained. "You're just worried about her, aren't you?" Yuu guessed. "I am. It should be the other way around, but with a guy like Lacus hanging around her, you can't help but worry." Yoichi explained. "True." Yuu noted as Yoichi pulled the green bean casserole out of the oven. "So," Yoichi set the green bean casserole down on the counter, "why'd you choose to come crash at my place tonight?" he asked. "Well, first off, Guren went to party at Shinya's place and also, I feel like disappearing from the face of the earth." Yuu stated. "Oh boy. What did you do this time?" Yoichi asked. "I didn't do anything this time!" Yuu complained. "Wait, wait, wait." Yoichi undid the apron he wore. "Did someone get ahold of your binder again?" he asked. "No! Oh god, if that happened again, I'd kill myself!" Yuu sighed. "I went to the convenience store after school and I just happened to overhear Ferid and Crowley talking about sex." he explained. "Ooooh. And let me guess, Mika was there, too?" Yoichi guessed. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he trailed off. "Well, it's weird to be talking about sex so openly like that, but then again, Crowley and Ferid are both weird, so it's not that much of an issue." Yoichi pointed out. "Yeah, but Mika was telling them how he had read smut last night." Yuu said. "Okay...and? Isn't that supposed to be normal?" Yoichi asked. "No, it's not! He mentioned that the smut had HIS name in it!" Yuu hissed. "What?!" Yoichi exclaimed in shock as Tomoe came down in a lilac sequin tank top, a white jeans jacket over it, white capris, and lilac flip flops. "Hm? What's up? Did something happen?" she asked. "Oh! N-Nothing at all!" Yoichi exclaimed. "Hm..." Yoichi could tell that Tomoe wasn't convinced, but was glad that she decided not to question them any further as she spoke. "Well, I'm going now! Depending on what Lacus wants to do, I may or may not come back home tonight." she noted. "You better come home, Missy." Yoichi threw his hands on his hips. "I'll stay up all night if I have to." he stated sternly. Tomoe laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll make sure I come back. I wouldn't want to upset my little brother, after all." Tomoe said. Yoichi rolled his eyes in slight annoyance as she grabbed for her white Coach purse and her cell phone. "Well, I'm off! Have fun with your boy's night!" she chirped before heading out of the house and closing the door behind her. Once he heard the door lock, Yoichi let out a deep sigh. "Oh Lord, please let her be safe..." he murmured. Yuu couldn't help but chuckle. "Yoichi, it'll be fine. I'm sure she knows what she's doing. She's responsible and old enough to know what she wants to do and what she doesn't want to do." Yuu reassured him. "I really hope so..." Yoichi murmured. He then made his way over to Yuu and he slid into the stool next to him. "So? What's the whole deal about Mika reading smut involving himself?" he asked. "Well, I just heard him say it and I freaked." Yuu traced a finger along the counter top. "Now that I think about it, it all makes sense now." he stated. "What do you mean?" Yoichi asked. "Well, when we were in the library earlier today, I ran into him and we talked for a bit. Then, he called me Yuu-chan. And the only time I've ever used that is in my writing. That's the only way he would know about that nickname." Yuu explained. "I see..." Yoichi trailed off. "Shinoa was for real when she said that..." Yuu slumped over the counter. "I am so fucked..." he grumbled. "Relax, Yuu. It'll be alright." Yoichi reached out to ruffle Yuu's hair. "I'm sure he'll forget about it with time." he reassured him. Yuu sighed. "I hope so..." he murmured. =============================================================================== Shinoa stirred her ramen noodles around with her black chopsticks as she spoke.  "What did I tell you? I knew he would be lying to you." she stated. "Wait, he read the smut that was in your binder?" Mitsuba asked. Yuu nodded as he poked at the burger he had with a French fry. "And you found this out how?" Kimizuki asked. "Well...I overheard a conversation he was having with Ferid and Crowley at the convenience store yesterday..." he trailed off. "You only overheard the conversation. Maybe you heard him wrong." that was when Mitsuba's eyes lit up. "Hey! Why don't you go up and ask him yourself?!" she asked. "No, no, no, no! No way!" Yuu shook his head with a flustered look on his face. "I can't possibly do that!" he exclaimed. "Well, it would be the only way to confirm it..." Shinoa trailed off. "You guys seriously expect me to go up to him and ask him, 'hey, did you really not read anything from my smut binder?'" Yuu asked. "Well, yeah." Mitsuba replied as she unwrapped a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher and popping it into her mouth. "Why?! I'd die of embarrassment!" Yuu squeaked out. "Guys, stop messing with him." Yoichi piped in after some time. "We weren't. We were just telling him that if he really wanted to know the truth, he should ask the man himself." Kimizuki stated. "Yeah, I know, but think about it. Wouldn't you be nervous if you had to ask a very embarrassing question to the person that you like?" Yoichi asked. "Well, probably." Shinoa stated. "Precisely. So, we shouldn't pressure Yuu into it." Yoichi said. "Yeah, yeah, we hear you, Yoichi." the lunch bell rang. "Ah, lunch is out." he commented. "I didn't even finish my noodles!" Shinoa complained. "Finish them during PE, then!" Kimizuki stated. "What?! How can I possibly do that when we're doing badminton today?!" Shinoa asked. "Well, I'm sure you can multitask. Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing my girlfriend eating ramen in a super sexy PE uniform." he teased as he winked at her. A furious blush spread across her cheeks like a wildfire as she spoke. "Shut the hell up, Kimizuki!" =============================================================================== Yuu darted out of class once the bell rang, looking at the text Kimizuki had sent him In the middle of class.  [02:13:04pm] Oi can you go fetch me some snacks and water at the convenience store? I forgot to pack some for track practice today. Yuu hopped on his bike as he sent a reply. [03:02:03pm] sure thing He pedaled away and headed down the sidewalk to the convenience store. The wind ran through his hair as he turned a corner. He arrived at the convenience store a few minutes later and he parked it on the side of the building. He got off and made his way inside. "He never told me what kind of snacks he wanted..." Yuu went over to the beverage fridge and he pulled out a bottle of water. "Maybe he'd want a protein bar or something?" he asked himself. He made his way over to the protein bar section and he grabbed up two along with a pack of nuts and a pack of gummies. He then grabbed up a bottle of blue Powerade and a bag of Funyuns and he headed over to the cash register. "I'd like to get these, please." he said, dropping the stuff on the counter. The cashier nodded as they began to scan the items. "Will that be all for you today?" the cashier asked. "Yes." Yuu replied as he pulled out his wallet from his jeans pocket. "Okay, so your total is going to be $18.68." the cashier said. Yuu pulled out a twenty dollar bill and he handed it to the cashier. The cashier put the bill into the register and took out some change whilst packing the snacks and drinks inside a plastic bag. "Here is your change and your stuff." they handed Yuu the bag and money. "I hope you have a great rest of your day." they said. "Thanks, you too." he replied, tossing the money into the bag and heading out of the store. He made his way over to his bike, hung the bag on the handle bar, hopped on, and pedaled back to school. A few minutes later, he parked his bike back into the bike rack and he headed back into the school building with the bag in his hand. He turned the corner and he began to head down the athletic hallway. He walked past cases filled with trophies, pictures, and plaques as he stopped before one that held multiple accomplishments from the school's tennis team. He then spotted a picture of Mika on a plaque that read Best Player of 20XX. He bit his lip. "Dammit, he is way too hot!" he thought to himself. As he examined the blond hair that shaped his face and those blue eyes that always captivated him, he heard a voice call out to him. "Ah, aren't you Yuuichirou?" Yuu jolted, the bag nearly falling out of his hand as he whirled around on his heel to see Mika with a couple bottles of water in his hands. "M-Mika..." he stuttered out. "I thought you go home right after school." Mika commented. "I do. But, my friend is running track and he wanted me to drop off some snacks and water." Yuu explained. Mika stopped in front of Yuu as he spoke. "Well, it's a good thing I ran into you because I wanted to talk to you." a wide smile spread across the blond's face. "Can we?" he asked. Yuu could only stare at Mika as he spoke. "O-Okay..." ***** A Proposition ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, a lime Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! Welcome back to IASWASB! so, now things are starting to heat up and it will continue to heat up until we hit the end of this story. I am going to apologize in advance for the weirdly written lime. I'm not too sure where I was going with it and I might edit it over, depending on how I feel. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read onward! :D Yuu could hear his heart racing furiously in his ears as he felt Mika trap him against a couple of lockers in the men's athletic changing room. "U-Um...is there any need for you to trap me like this...?" he stuttered out. "I never said I was trapping you. All I want to do is talk." Mika asked. "Well, you told me to follow you in here and now you're p-pinning me up against the lockers. I would consider that as you trapping me." Yuu explained. "Well, Yuuichirou," Mika leaned in just a little to whisper in Yuu's ear, "I've gotta make sure you don't try to flee after what I have to say." he purred. Yuu shivered at the huskiness in the blond's voice as he spoke. "Wh-What do you mean?" he asked, hesitating slightly. "Well, first things first, I think this might be yours." Mika said before fishing through his red, white, and blue athletic jacket pocket and pulling out a familiar black leather wallet. Yuu's eyes widened. "My wallet!" he quickly snatched the wallet out of Mika's hands. "Thank god...I thought I'd have to continue stealing money from Guren's safe until I graduate..." he trailed off. He then looked at Mika. "Wait, how did you get ahold of this?" he asked. "Convenience store. I think you might have dropped it." Mika said. Yuu blushed furiously as he recalled that conversation he overheard yesterday. "O-Oh...I see..." Yuu trailed off. Mika chuckled. "You know, you seem to like losing your stuff. For example, your binder." he said. Yuu swallowed once Mika mentioned his smut binder. He could already tell that this conversation was not going to end well. "Ah, as we are mentioning your binder, I have just got to know something," Yuu could feel Mika smirk against his ear as he spoke, "why in the world did you write smut about us?" he asked. Yuu froze. "So he DID read it!" he began to mentally panic. "I mean, I know Shinoa was saying that he was lying, but actually hearing it from him practically confirms it!" his mind shouted. "Well?" Mika purred softly. "I-I..." Yuu's heart raced as his cheeks began to take on a bright red color. "Uh..." he was at a loss for words. "I knew I had many women fawning over me, but I did not imagine that you would also fall for me. Not only that, you took it to the point where you would write sexual fantasies about us." Mika explained. Yuu shivered as he felt Mika's breath ghost down the side of his jaw. "Wh-What is it that you're going to do now that you know?" Yuu asked. "Simple. I'm going to make your wildest fantasies come to life." Mika replied. "Wha- - -Ah!" Yuu let out a sharp gasp as Mika began to nip at the skin under his chin. He let out a small whimper as Mika suckled at his pulse point under his chin. His hands went up to Mika's chest as Mika nipped down and marked a hickey on his neck. He moaned, his head rolling back to meet the cold locker door. "Shit..." Yuu gasped out. "You're already turned on?" Mika murmured into his neck. Yuu could only bite back a whimper as a husky chuckle escaped the blond's lips. "You're so naughty, Yuu-chan." he purred as he licked at the mark he just made. Yuu could feel his legs begin to grow weak. At this point, he was going to collapse. Mika's hands moved down to cup Yuu's ass, causing him to gasp softly as his knees began to buckle. Before he could sink down onto the floor, Mika grabbed Yuu by the legs and he hoisted him up. Yuu wrapped his legs around Mika's torso as he moved him towards a corner in the lockers. He then moved in to nip and lick at Yuu's neck, drawing a moan from him. "Mmmm..." Yuu hummed in pleasure as his fingers threaded through blond locks of hair. His hands went to rest on the nape of Mika's neck as he nudged Yuu's black v-neck shirt up lightly so that he could get a view of Yuu's nipples. "Damn. I didn't think you had such a nice chest. It makes me want to mark it all up." he said before moving in to suck on a nipple. Yuu cried out as he slammed a balled up fist against his mouth. His cheeks turned redder as thoughts began to race through his mind. "Story #63...this was when Mika had led me in the locker room and he fooled around with me for a bit..." Yuu tried to stifle a moan. "Could it be that he's reenacting that scene?" he asked himself. He managed to stifle another moan as Mika's teeth grazed along Yuu's hardened nipple. "Don't cover your mouth. I want to hear you." Mika said. "Wh-Why, though?! It...It's embarrassing!" Yuu whined. "You shouldn't be so embarrassed. You WERE writing smut about the two of us in the first place." Mika then switched to the next nipple. "I thought that this kind of thing would be natural for you." he said before tugging at the nipple with his teeth. He toyed with the other one in between his fingers, occasionally yanking on it. "Nnnnn!" Yuu choked out a gasp as he suddenly rolled his hips into Mika's. Mika slowly pulled away, a small string of saliva connecting his mouth to his nipple. He snapped the string and he looked up at Yuu, a smirk crossing his lips. "Are you turned on, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Wh-What? Turned on?" Yuu questioned. "Well, yeah. I can feel your erection." Mika stated. Yuu's face resembled a beet as he looked at Mika. "Does this kind of thing turn you on?" Mika then rolled his hips into Yuu's, causing him to gasp sharply. "Hm, Yuu-chan?" he purred seductively. "M-Mika..." he then let out a small grunt, his head hitting the locker door. His body arched into Mika's as Mika continued to grind into him. "Shit...oh, shit..." Yuu choked out. His head fell forward into the crook of Mika's neck as he moaned again. He could feel heat pooling in his nether regions as he bit into the fabric of Mika's jacket. "Mmmm..." he panted a moan into Mika's shoulder. "Mi...ka..." he choked out. "Hm? Yes, Yuu-chan?" Mika whispered. "I- - -" that was when they heard the sound of a door opening and the sounds of people chatting. Yuu froze up, his eyes wide in horror. "Shit! It's the tennis players!" he thought to himself. He opened his mouth and got ready to tell Mika to stop when Mika suddenly rolled his hips into his. A small squeak escaped Yuu's lips as his fist flew over his mouth. His head shot back into the lockers, the sound being tuned out by one of the guys hollering. "What is he doing?!" Yuu's mind shouted. "Are you close?" Mika asked. "I...I..." Yuu looked down at him. "Mika, you need to stop. They'll hear us!" he bit out. "You're turning shy now?" Mika spoke as he rolled his hips into Yuu's again. "Ah!" a small gasp escaped Yuu's lips as Mika watched him with a smirk on his face. "I'm not letting you go until you cum. Besides, you seemed to be more turned on than before." Mika leaned in to whisper into Yuu's ear. "Is it because there are other people in the room? Are you getting excited because they might see us doing something very dirty?" he asked. Yuu whimpered, causing Mika to chuckle deeply. "You are so dirty, Yuu-chan." he teased. Yuu bit down on his lip as he felt his climax hit him in large waves. His head fell into the crook of Mika's neck, his body shaking as he came down from his climax. Mika smirked against his ear. "Good boy." he whispered. He slowly brought Yuu back down. As soon as Yuu's feet touched the ground, he reached out to steady himself against the lockers. "Were you...were you teasing me?" Yuu questioned. "Hm, something like that." Mika replied. He then looked over his shoulder and sighed. "You know, writing smut about the two of us and fantasizing about it isn't as satisfying as the real thing." Mika stated suddenly. "Huh? What is that supposed to mean?" Yuu asked. Mika said nothing as he began to make his way over to Yuu. Yuu swallowed as Mika trapped him against the lockers. "I'll give you two options. One, we'll go our separate ways, pretend that this never happened, and you can continue to fantasize about from afar." Mika began. Yuu blushed furiously at Mika's words as Mika continued to speak. "Or two, we can continue to explore your curiosity and venture out into the unknown. You can satisfy yourself by doing those many things you write about in your binder with the real thing." Mika chuckled once he saw Yuu's expression. "Don't worry, you don't need to give me an answer right now. You can give me your answer whenever you are ready. Just don't keep me waiting, Yuu-chan." he said before pushing himself away from the wall. Yuu could only stare as Mika spoke. "Well, I'll excuse myself first." he said before turning on his heel and walking off. Yuu watched as Mika turned the corner and sooner or later, loud laughter erupted. Yuu bit his lip as he slowly sank down onto the floor. "Shit..." he muttered under his breath. "He actually made me cum...oh my god." he thought to himself. He then stared down, sighing. "Now I feel sticky..." he mumbled. He heard the sound of a door opening and people exiting. As soon as the door closed, he breathed out a loud sigh he didn't know he was holding in. "Damn, my heart won't stop beating...But, was he really serious? Would he really engage in sexual activities with me if I say that I wanted to? I mean, it sounds so unreal..." he thought to himself. A voice then pulled him out of his thoughts. "Ah, so this is where you are!" Yuu quickly whipped his head to the right to see Kimizuki standing before him in his track suit. "K-Kimizuki!" Yuu stuttered out as he shot up from the ground. "Yeah, it's me. I was starting to think that you got lost." Kimizuki bent down and picked up the plastic bag that had the food and drinks from the convenience store in it. "Is this the stuff you went out to buy?" he asked. "Ah, yes! I also bought some stuff for myself." Yuu explained. "Okay. I'll take what's mine and you'll take what's yours." Kimizuki nodded his head over to the door. "Shall we head out to the track? I was doing some warm- up stretches before I came to look for you." he said. Yuu nodded. "Sure." he replied. As he followed Kimizuki through the locker room, he couldn't help but let out a small sigh. ***** Shall We Start? ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, cat cosplay Chapter Notes Hey, you guys, and welcome back to IASWASB! So, there is a reason why I wasn't able to update on time: I was out of town for college orientation and then the Internet started acting crappy at nearly every hotel I was at, so I could not get my chapter up. Not only that, I have also been very busy from day to night recently looking at houses, so I feel really drained right now. Hopefully, the next chapter should be up by Sunday, but we'll see. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read onward! :D Yuu let out an exasperated sigh as he dropped down onto his bed later that night.  "Gosh...today was such a crazy day..." he mumbled under his breath. He turned over on his side, his black hair splaying out across the cream bedsheets as he thought back to what happened in the locker room with him and Mika. "Simple. I'm going to make your wildest fantasies come to life." Yuu couldn't help but shiver, imagining hearing Mika whisper that to him in a husky voice all over again. "I can't believe it...He actually wants to do this? But, he's straight! That can't be possible!" he told himself. He then frowned, a light red blush dusting his cheeks. "But...if that were the case, then he wouldn't have dry humped me in the locker room earlier today." an idea then struck him. "It couldn't be..." he gasped softly. "Is Mika secretly gay?!" his mind shouted. He quickly shook his head, trying to will his blush away. "No, no, no! How could you think that, Yuu?! You're only wishing that he were..." he thought to himself. He rolled over onto his back and sighed. "I need to write." he said suddenly. He slipped off his bed and he made his way over to his backpack, unsmiling it and pulling out his binder and pen. He went back over to his bed and he laid down on his stomach. "Let's see here..." he murmured as he opened his binder and flipped to a new page. He uncapped his pen and titled his new story Kitten Cosplay. I stood in the doorway of Mika's room as he eyes me up and down in my black cat cosplay outfit. "Well, aren't you a cute little kitten." Mika commented. I couldn't help but blush at his compliment. I shifted a little in the doorway as I spoke. "Well, I'm your cute little kitten." I replied. "And a sexy kitten, at that." Mika crooked his finger in a come hither motion. "Come over here." he purred seductively. His deep voice sent shivers down my neck. It was gentle yet demanding at the same time. I moved away from the doorway, lightly kicking the door shut as I made my way over to him. "Ah!" a gasp fell from my lips as he grabbed me by the wrist and yanked me onto his lap. "You are so beautiful, Yuu-chan." Mika purred before moving in to nibble on my earlobe. I whimpered in pleasure as chills shot through me. I moaned softly as I felt his warm hand glide down my side. It then landed on my cat tail. "Hm? Is this what I think it is?" he asked. He played with the fur on the tail before yanking on it. "Ah!" I let out a startled gasp as he showed me the black dildo that was attached to the cat tail. "This is kinky. Where'd you get this?" he asked. "U-Um..." I lowered my eyes. "Th...There's an adult store two blocks from Kimizuki's house that I go to..." I murmured shyly. Mika chuckled. "You don't have to be so coy. I like it." Mika said before bringing the tail back and thrusting the dildo into my stretched hole. Yuu bit his lip as he read what he wrote, memories from earlier running through his head. "Dammit...I can't get it out of my head!" he told himself. He then looked down and his eyes widened. "I got...turned on?" he asked himself. He looked at the tent in his sweatpants (he had put his pants to wash as soon as he got home). "Oh, come on..." he mumbled. He was tempted to pull out his growing erection and satisfy himself, but before he could, the door to his room burst open. "Oi, why the hell are your pants so- - -" Guren watched as Yuu's hand quickly pulled away and his binder went to rest on his lap. "Ah, now I get it. Did you have an orgasm in your pants or something?" he asked. "Wh-What?!" Yuu exclaimed. "Well, it makes sense, considering that it looked like  you were getting ready to jack off." Guren commented. "You...Idiot Guren! Get the hell out of my room!" Yuu snapped as he reached for his pillow and he threw it at Guren. "Okay, okay, I'll go and leave you with your wild gay fantasies." Guren dodged the pillow with ease. "Oh, and also, your throwing sucks." he said before picking up the pillow and throwing it back at Yuu, successfully nailing him in the face. Yuu growled as Guren closed the door behind him. "Ah, forget it!" he whined as he put his binder off to the side and he went under the sheets. He sighed deeply, hugging the pillow to his chest as Mika's words raced through his head yet again. "I'll give you two options. One, we'll go our separate ways, pretend that this never happened, and you can continue to fantasize about me from afar. Or two, we can continue to explore your curiosity and venture out into the unknown. You can satisfy yourself by doing those many things you write about in your binder with the real thing. Don't worry, you don't need to give me an answer right now. You can give me your answer whenever you are ready. Just don't keep me waiting, Yuu-chan." he bit his lip. "What am I going to do...?" he muttered out. =============================================================================== "Hey." Shinoa poked at a bag under Yuu's eye lightly with a chopstick. "Cherry boy, you okay? You keep zoning out." she spoke. "Hm?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice as he looked at Shinoa. "What?" he asked. "See?! He wasn't even listening!" Kimizuki pointed out. "Guys, cut him some slack!" Yoichi sighed as he looked over at Yuu. "Yuu, are you sure you're okay?" he asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he replied. "Geez, Yoichi. You're way too soft with him." Kimizuki commented. "Th-That's not the case!" Yoichi stuttered out, dropping a piece of broccoli in shock. Yuu chose to zone them all out as Yoichi and Kimizuki began a small banter. He sighed, propping his elbow up on the table and resting his face in his hand. "In the end, I couldn't get much sleep. What Mika told me is still bothering...is he being for real?" he asked himself. He played a little with the lo mein noodles that he had with his chopsticks as Mitsuba let out a small squeal. "Oh my god! I think Mika's looking over this way!" she exclaimed. Yuu nearly choked on his spit. "Wh-What?!" he exclaimed. "He is! Look, look, look!" Mitsuba exclaimed. "Hm?" Shinoa looked over at the round table in the middle of the cafeteria. "Oh yes, you are right." she said. Yuu quickly looked over and saw that Mika's eyes were trained on him. A blush spread across his cheeks as he looked away. "Aaaagh, now I can't even look him in the eye!" he thought to himself. As he went back to eating his lo mein, he felt Yoichi nudge him lightly. "Um, Yuu?" he said. "What?" Yuu asked as he put a piece of beef into his mouth. "I think Mika is coming over here." he said. Yuu nearly choked on his piece of beef. "What?!" Yuu squeaked out. "I'm not kidding." Yoichi said. Yuu quickly looked over as Mika stopped by the table. "Hello there." Mika greeted. "Hi!" Mitsuba replied. "Just what is it that you're doing here?" Kimizuki asked. "I just wanted to say hi." Mika replied. He then looked over at Yuu, who froze under his gaze. "Ah, is that beef lo mein? I didn't know they had that for lunch today." Mika said as he slipped into the chair next to Yuu. Yuu nearly felt his heart leap out of his chest as he began to think. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, he's actually sitting next to me! Shit!" his mind screamed. "Shinoa, he's actually sitting here." Mitsuba hissed, continuously nudging her. "Yes, I see that." Shinoa said. "Do you happen to like lo mein, Mika?" Yoichi asked, hoping to make some light conversation. "I love lo mein. Actually, I like Chinese food as a whole. But, my favorite would have to be beef lo mein." he looked at Yuu. "If you don't mind, can I have some?" he asked. "U-Um, yes! Sure..." Yuu replied as he quickly handed Mika his chopsticks. Mika beamed at him. "Thank you!" he replied. Yuu couldn't help but blush as Mika reached over to grab for some noodles, stabbing a piece of beef in the process. As he twirled the noodles around the chopsticks, he whispered something to Yuu. "Library after school. I want your answer. Like I told you, I don't want to be kept waiting." he said. Yuu felt a chill shoot through him as Mika put the noodles and beef into his mouth. "Okay, now that tastes good." he handed the chopsticks back to Yuu. "Thanks for sharing." he said. He then stood up. "Well, I guess I'll see you around." Mika said. "Okay, bye!" Mitsuba chirped.  Mika smiled at her as he pushed the chair in and he headed back over to his table. Once he disappeared, Mitsuba spoke. "Oh my god, I thought I was going to die!" she exclaimed as a hand flew over her heart. "You always feel that way, Mitsuba." Yoichi commented. "Oh, shut up!" she snapped angrily. As everyone resumed conversing, Yuu could not help but think back to what Mika had just told him. "I want your answer. Like I told you, I don't want to be kept waiting." he bit his lip as he began to think. "Well, I'll show him! I'll definitely give him my answer!" he thought to himself. =============================================================================== Yuu stood in front of the library entrance after school, twiddling his thumbs. "I told myself I was going to give him an answer, but..." he glanced down at the doorknob. "Can I really do it?" he asked himself. He sighed deeply. "Okay, let me just get this over with..." he told himself before reaching for the doorknob and turning it. He opened the door and he stepped inside. "There's nobody in here..." he muttered under his breath, taking note of the sign on the librarian's desk. He closed the door behind him and he began to search for Mika. "I wonder where he could be..." he thought to himself. He turned into the aisle where they had manga books and he spotted Mika holding a manga book. The sun shone through the large window in the library, highlighting his handsome facial features and making his hair shine. "Gosh, he is so damn beautiful..." he thought to himself. Mika snapped the book shut, revealing the cover for the fourth volume of Attack on Titan. He put the book back on the shelf and he turned, smiling once he saw Yuu. "Hey, Yuu-chan." he greeted. A wild red blush spread across Yuu's cheeks as he spoke. "Y-You could at least drop the chan..." he trailed off. Mika chuckled. "But, you make me call you that in your stories all the time." he replied. Yuu said nothing as he made his way over to him. He stood opposite of him as Mika spoke. "So?" Mika leaned against the bookshelf. "What's your answer?" he asked. Yuu stared into Mika's eyes, which twinkled with amusement as he began to think. "Come on, Yuu. Tell him!" he told himself. "Look, Mika..." he let out a shaky sigh. "I can tell when someone is trying to play me and I think that you are indeed trying to do so. I mean, we're worlds apart! You're so popular and I'm just meh. Plus, I'm gay and you're obviously straight. It wouldn't make any sense that you would suddenly take an interest in someone like me." Yuu said. Mika got ready to speak, but Yuu continued speaking. "However." Yuu held a finger up. "This is the only chance I may get. Plus, it's not like I can forget that you dry humped me in the locker room so easily. As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone can forget that. Not only that, it's freaking Mika Shindo. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I accept." he finished. He bit his lip, continuously twiddling with his thumbs. He then looked at Mika to see that a sly smirk had crossed his lips. "You really are interesting. Okay, we can definitely explore whatever it is you got stuck inside that head of yours. So," Mika walked up to Yuu and he trapped him against the shelf, "shall we start now?" ***** Let It Begin ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, a handjob Chapter Notes Hey, you guys and welcome back to IASWASB! I'm so sorry that it took this long to bring up Chapter 7. My life has begun to grow more complicated, so I might run into some bumps like this in the future. But, don't worry! I am not going to give up on this story! Not now, not ever! I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D ------------------------------------------ *I now have a Tumblr! That will be your go-to place for previews of chapters, updates pertaining to certain fanfics, and just me being me. Come bug me at this link right here: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ "Look, Mika..." he let out a shaky sigh. "I can tell when someone is trying to play me and I think that you are indeed trying to do so. I mean, we're worlds apart! You're so popular and I'm just meh. Plus, I'm gay and you're obviously straight. It wouldn't make any sense that you would suddenly take an interest in someone like me." Yuu said.  Mika got ready to speak, but Yuu continued speaking.

He bit his lip, continuously twiddling with his thumbs. He then looked at Mika to see that a sly smirk had crossed his lips. "You really are interesting. Okay, we can definitely explore your wildest imagination. So," Mika walked up to Yuu and he trapped him against the shelf, "shall we start now?" Yuu stared up at Mika with wide eyes. "U-Um...what exactly do you mean?" he asked. "What do you think I mean? We're going to start." Mika said. "Wait...right now?!" Yuu squeaked out. "Yeah. Story #71: we meet in the library and I give you a handjob." Mika explained as his hand began to slide down. This made Yuu blush furiously. "W-Wait, just hold on a- - -" Yuu jolted as Mika's hand brushed over the tent that was growing in his jeans. "Well, it seems like you want it. Yuu-chan," Mika moved in to whisper in his ear as his fingers lingered over the pants zipper, "your mouth and your body are simply not working together." he said before reaching and tugging the zipper down. He pulled out Yuu's hardening cock from his boxers and he began to palm it in his hand. "Decent size..." he murmured as he ran his thumb along the underside of Yuu's cock. "Mmmmm..." Yuu hummed as Mika began to stroke him. He turned his head to his side as he spoke. "Mika...we'll get caught..." Yuu panted out. "No, we won't. Nobody comes into the library after school." Mika said. "Well, you must not come to the library often because I know quite a few people that do indeed come in after school." Yuu explained. "Well then," Mika flipped Yuu so that his chest was pressed against the books on the shelf, "you better make sure you don't make a sound in case someone does come in." he said. "But, Mika- - -" Yuu moaned as Mika moved in to attack his neck. He suckled on the junction between his neck and shoulder lightly whilst stroking him. "Oh, shit..." Yuu murmured into the bookshelf. His mind began to grow hazy as Mika quickened the pace. Mika would occasionally run his thumb over the leaking tip before running it down the underside of his cock and playing with his sac, which drove Yuu crazy. "God, Mika...Mmmmm..." Mika marked a hickey on his neck as Yuu began to thrust into Mika's hand. "Damn, you are so needy." Mika commented. He then smirked against Yuu's neck. "But, I think that's kind of adorable." he said before moving up to nibble on the shell of his ear. Yuu grunted as he continued thrusting. He could feel that familiar heat build up inside of him as he drew closer and closer to his climax. "Oh my god..." he panted out. "Are you going to cum, Yuu-chan?" Mika purred into his ear. "Y-Yes...yes, I'm going to cum...oh, fuck...!" Yuu bit out as Mika's hand moved in time with his increasingly erratic thrusts. Yuu felt like he was going to pass out at any moment. The pleasure was too good. A moan fell from his lips as Mika tugged on Yuu's earlobe. "Then, cum for me, Yuu-chan." he whispered softly. Yuu let out a strangled whimper as his climax hit him hard. Cum shot out in strings of white, covering Mika's hand. His body shook a little as he thrusted helplessly into Mika's now slick hand. Mika pulled his teeth away from his earlobe and he brought his hand up to Yuu's face. "Lick it all off." he said. Yuu looked at Mika's hand before nodding, slowly moving in to lap at the cum on Mika's hand. His tongue swirled around his fingers and his palm, making sure that his hand was clean. Mika smirked, pulling his hand away once he was satisfied. "You are so dirty." Mika purred lowly. Yuu shivered at the deep huskiness in Mika's voice as Mika spoke. "Well, that should be it for today." Mika said suddenly. "Wha- - -" Yuu quickly tucked his limp cock back into his boxers and zipped up his pants as he turned to look at Mika, who chose to lean back against the bookshelf. "You said yourself that we can engage in a relationship like this. So, you can't back out." he said. Yuu bit his lip as he spoke. "I know that..." he murmured. "Good. Now, I want you to do me a favor and pick out which scenario you want to try out next." Mika said. "Wait, what? You want me to choose which scenario to try out next?" Yuu asked in shock. "Well, duh. It's your writing. You at least have the right to choose what you want to do next." Mika pointed out. "And? What right do you get, exactly?" Yuu asked, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could see Mika's eyes twinkling with amusement as he leaned in towards him. "I have the right to drive you mad with pleasure as much as I want." he whispered onto Yuu's cheek before kissing the corner of his mouth lightly. Yuu blushed furiously as Mika pulled away. "I'll probably text you tonight to see if you came up with a decision." Mika told him before turning to walk off. "Wait, what?!" Yuu stared at Mika in shock. "How the...just how the hell did you get ahold of my number?!" he exclaimed. "Eh, I did some asking around." Mika waved his hand. "Well, talk to you tonight." he said before stepping out of the library. Yuu was about to call out to him and question him further, but Mika was gone before he could. He sighed deeply. "Dammit..." he mumbled. =============================================================================== Yoichi frowned, watching how Yuu was stuck in a daze. "Gosh, what is wrong with him? He keeps zoning out!" he thought to himself. "Oi." he reached out and poked Yuu's arm with the tip of his mechanical pencil. "Earth to Yuu!" he called out. "Huh? What?" Yuu questioned, his pencil falling out of his hand. Yoichi sighed. "You keep zoning out each time I try to explain something to you. Do you at least remember what we were discussing?" Yoichi asked. "Um...the Pythagorean Theorem, right?" Yuu answered uncertainly. Yoichi looked like he wanted to smack Yuu across the face. "We were discussing Hitler and WWII..." he stood up from his spot on the brown and white striped rug on the floor of his bedroom. "You know what, I'm going to go get some snacks and drinks. Maybe that'll wake you up." he said before walking out of the bedroom. Once Yuu was sure that Yoichi was out of earshot, he let out a sigh. "Dammit...I seriously need to stop zoning out..." he murmured. He ran his fingers through his hair, gazing down at the pages of the history textbook that he had open out on the small table. "It's kind of hard to focus when all I can think about is when Mika gave me a handjob in the library..." he thought to himself. He then looked over at his backpack, recalling what Mika had told him. "Now, I want you to do me a favor and pick out which scenario you want to try out next." he bit his lip as he began to think. "Yeah, that's easy for him to say...I have over 350 different scenarios in that binder!" he sighed. "Well, maybe I should start looking for one as I am thinking about it." he told himself. He grabbed for his backpack and he dropped it onto his lap. He unzipped it and he pulled out his smut binder, opening it to a page involving cock rings. "I don't think I want to do cock rings..." he muttered. As he flipped through the pages, he felt his phone vibrate in his pants pocket. "Hm? Who could that be?" he asked himself. He pulled out his phone and read the text that just came in. [05:16:37pm] hey, yuu-chan. it's mika. Yuu blushed once he saw who had texted him. "Speak of the devil!" his mind shouted. [05:16:40pm] Yes, hello. [05:17:01pm] have you chosen a scenario yet? [05:17:03pm] Um, no. I'm actually looking through my binder right now for one. [05:17:04pm] k. let me know when you have chosen one. Yuu looked away from his phone and then back at his binder. "I need to at least choose something that would appeal to Mika, as well...but what about gay sex would appeal to a straight guy, anyway?" he asked himself. He flipped the page and looked at the content of another story. "This story..." he murmured. "Maybe this one will work." he thought to himself. He looked back down at his phone and sent his reply. [05:20:12pm] I found one that might work. [05:20:14pm] which one? [05:21:01pm] Story #58. Since you did look through my binder, I assume you know which one I mean. [05:21:10pm] interesting choice. ok, let's do it. i'll make sure you feel very good ;) ***** Party All Night ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, alochol usage, excessive partying, YAOI (boyxboy) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys and welcome back to IASWASB! So, I've got a story that involves this chapter: I had it typed up. I had it all ready to go for the 4th of July. And then, my finger hovered over the delete button and I deleted said chapter before I could stop it. *slaps forehead* So, that was pretty much why Chapter 7 was delayed for such a long while. But, now I have it up and ready to go! Oh, and if anyone was curious (I'm pretty sure that means all of you), the basic jist of Story #58 is sex at a party. For specific details, you'll have to read the chapter. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D ---------------------------------------------------------- *Come bug me on my Tumblr page at this link here: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ Shinoa nearly dropped the shrimp that she had in between her chopsticks.  "Wait...are you being for real right now?" she asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah. Mika invited me to some party this Saturday." he replied. "Well, aren't you a lucky guy!" Mitsuba chirped. "You usually don't get invited to a jock's party any day, so you should consider yourself lucky." Kimizuki pointed out as he bit into his turkey sandwich. "Apparently, it's to celebrate Crowley's acceptance into Stanford." Yuu explained. "Isn't that in America?" Yoichi asked. "It is, yeah." Yuu replied. "That's amazing..." Yoichi trailed off. "For a jock, he sure is smart." Kimizuki commented. "Kimizuki, don't be so rude." Shinoa snapped as she smacked Kimizuki's shoulder playfully. Kimizuki feigned being hurt as Shinoa began to scold him for acting so ridiculous. Yuu chose to zone out as he felt his phone vibrating in his pants pocket. "Hm? I wonder who that is..." he thought to himself as he whipped out his phone. [12:30:18 pm] come into the hallway; we need 2 talk. Yuu's eyes widened as he whipped his head around to see that Mika was staring at him from the circle table near the center of the cafeteria. "How long has he been watching me like that for?!" his mind shouted. Another text came in. [12:30:19 pm] come on; we don't got all day. [12:30:19 pm] Yeah, yeah, ok. "Oi! Yuu!" he startled at the sound of fingers being snapped in his face. "Huh? What?" Yuu question as he stared at his group of friends, who watched him with concern. "Yuu, Shinoa was asking you a question." Yoichi said. Yuu got ready to open his mouth when he felt a gaze on him. He jolted, knowing exactly who was watching him like that. "U-Um!" Yuu quickly stood up, nearly startling the others. "I...I have to go to the restroom!" he exclaimed before grabbing for his backpack and dashing out of the cafeteria. Kimizuki eyed Yuu's retreating figure with an arched brow. "Is he okay?" he asked. Shinoa shrugged. "Who knows...?" she murmured under her breath. =============================================================================== Yuu padded down the hallway in search of Mika.  "He didn't exactly tell me which hallway to meet him in..." he trailed off in his thoughts. He turned the corner and spotted Mika leaning up against a wall. "Oi!" Mika glanced over at him. "Just what is it that you want?" Yuu called out as he approached him. Mika said nothing before grabbing ahold of Yuu's wrist. This made him arch a brow. "Wha- - -" Mika cut him off. "Come." he said before pulling Yuu into the men's bathroom. He pulled him over to a stall and they stepped in. Yuu could only watch him in confusion as he turned to lock the stall door. "Um...why are we in here?" Yuu asked. "To give us a little privacy, of course." Mika replied. "Privacy?" possibilities began to swirl through Yuu's head. "What exactly do you mean?" he asked as he sat down on the toilet seat. "So, do you remember what game was played at the party in that story?" Mika asked. "Um...not really, no..." Yuu murmured. This made Mika sigh. "Goodness, Yuu-chan..." Mika gazed down at Yuu. "You should know this. It's your story, after all." he commented. "You could at least drop the- - -" Mika cut in. "Pull out your binder." Mika said, effectively silencing him. Yuu blinked his eyes twice. "Wait...what?" he asked. "Your binder. If you can't recall what happened, then I guess we're gonna have to look it up." Mika extended his hand out in Yuu's direction. "Give me it." he said. Yuu said nothing as he reached for his bag and unzipped it, digging through it in search of his binder. He pulled it out a couple minutes later and he handed it to Mika. Mika smiled at him. "Thank you." he told him as he took the binder from Yuu and cracked it open. He began to flip through the pages, looking for the story that they needed. He then stopped. "Ah, there it is." he then cleared his throat. "I sat there on the couch, drinking from my cup of fruit punch. At least, I think it was fruit punch." Mika began. Yuu gawked at him. "Wait, is he being for real right now?!" his mind screamed. "Why are you- - -" Mika placed a finger to Yuu's lips, silencing him. "Shhhh. Let me continue reading." Mika said. Yuu couldn't help but pout as Mika continued reading. "I took another sip as Ferid called out to everyone. 'Okay, you guys! It's time to play Truth or Dare!'" he then stopped. "So, I guess the game was Truth or Dare." he stated. Yuu nodded his head slowly. "Yeah, I guess it is..." he trailed off. "Well, thanks for letting me take a peek," he leaned in towards him, his lips brushing against his ear, "Yuu-chan." he whispered. Mika's minty breath caused Yuu to shiver as Mika tugged lightly on his earlobe. He pulled away and looked down. "Well, well, Yuu-chan. You seem to get hard quickly." he commented. "It...It's not my fault!" Yuu complained. "Or is it?" Mika's hand began to move up his leg. "I mean, you write such lewd stories about us all the time. You fantasize about me fucking you, after all." he purred. Yuu's cheeks turned a bright red as Mika's fingers lingered over the zipper of his jeans. He then withdrew his fingers, causing Yuu to frown. "Well, I'll see you on Saturday." Mika said. Yuu got ready to speak, but before he could, Mika stepped out of the stall and he left the bathroom. =============================================================================== Yuu watched himself in a black shirt, black skinny jeans, and black Converse as he heard someone speak.  "And just where are you going?" Yuu glanced over at Guren, who had leaned up against the door frame. "I'm going to a party." Yuu replied. "A party?" Guren arched a brow. "Where?" he asked. "It's at Ferid's place. They're celebrating Crowley's acceptance to Stanford." Yuu explained. "Oh? And who's taking you?" Guren asked. "Mika is." Yuu replied. "Ah, so you're going with Mister Blond Wet Dream?" Guren asked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. This made Yuu's cheeks flush a bright red. "Stop teasing me, you idiot Guren!" Yuu snapped as he grabbed for a pillow on his bed and he chucked it at Guren. Guren dodged it with ease, annoying Yuu even more. Before Yuu could shoot another retort in his direction, the doorbell rang. "Ah, that must be him." Guren quickly turned on his heel. "Coming, Mister Blond Athlete That Yuu Loves To Fantasizes Over!" he chirped before heading down the hall. "YOU IDIOT GUREN!" Yuu shouted as he chased after Guren. He quickly slid down the staircase as he saw Mika talking to Guren by the door in a white t-shirt, tan khaki shorts, and black sandals. He looked over Guren's shoulder at Yuu and shot him his signature smile that would've have Yuu melt into a puddle at the bottom of the stairs. "Well, make sure you bring him home by the morning. He's got to help me grade papers." Guren said. "What?! You never told me that!" Yuu complained. "Well, you've been thieving my money, so that is your punishment." Guren stated. Yuu sighed as Mika spoke. "Don't worry, Mr. Ichinose. I'll be sure to bring him back." he stuffed his hands in his shorts pocket as he looked at Yuu. "Shall we get going?" he asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah." he replied as he made his way over to Mika. "Alright, let's go." Mika said as they walked out of the house. Yuu closed the door behind them as Mika spoke. "We're about a few minutes away from his place." Mika explained as they made their way over to Mika's silver Buick Regal. "Okay." Yuu slipped into the passenger seat and he buckled in his seatbelt. "I didn't think Ferid lived so close." he commented. "I was surprised, too. His house is in the community opposite yours." Mika explained. "So, he's in the gated community, huh..." Yuu murmured as Mika started up the engine and he pulled off the curb. In no time at all, Mika pulled up in front of a cream colored one-story with white pillars framing the front entrance. He cut the engine and they stepped out of the vehicle. He locked the car and they made their way up to the front door. "Um...Mika?" Yuu spoke up. "Yeah?" Mika answered. "Will...Will there be alcohol at the party?" Yuu asked. "Well...knowing Ferid, there most likely will be alcohol." Mika replied. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. They approached the front door and Mika rang the doorbell. A couple of minutes, the door opened the reveal Ferid. "Ah, there you are, Mika! I was starting to wonder if you were gonna show up late or not." Ferid stated. He then spotted Yuu beside him. "You brought a guest?" Ferid questioned. "Yes, I did bring a guest." Mika narrowed his eyes at Ferid. "Are you going to continue questioning me or will you let me in?" he asked. "Of course! Why wouldn't I let you in?" Ferid declared as he stepped aside to let them in. Mika and Yuu stepped inside and the first thing that hit Yuu was the loud sound of Jason Derulo's song Talk Dirty bouncing off the walls of the house. He watched people as they conversed and mingled throughout the house. "Wow...there's a lot of people here..." he thought to himself. "Go ahead and help yourselves!" Ferid declared before going off to talk to a girl snacking on some Doritos.  Mika looked over at Yuu. "Are you nervous?" he asked. "No, not at all!" Yuu looked at Mika. "Why would I be nervous?" he asked. "Well, as this is your very first party, I thought you might be feeling a little left out." Mika explained. Yuu watched Mika in surprise. "How could he tell...?" he asked himself. "Don't worry. I was like you when Ferid first dragged me to these kinds of parties." Mika looked over in the direction of the kitchen. "I'll go get us some punch." he said. Yuu nodded. "Alright. I'll go sit on the couch." Yuu said before making his way over to the living area. He plopped down on the black leather couch, examining his surroundings before sighing. =============================================================================== Yuu might've been on his seventh cup of fruit punch, but to be honest, who was even keeping count?  He took a sip, humming softly to the Ellie Goulding song that was playing. "Am I starting to get drunk? Usually, I don't randomly hum..." he thought to himself. He then looked over at the bar table, seeing Mika talking to a girl with long, pink hair and red-violet eyes. He bit his lip, recognizing her instantly. "Of course he'd be talking to Krul..." he stared down at the liquid in the cup. "I guess that goes to show just how we live worlds apart..." he thought to himself. He got ready to take another sip from his cup when he heard a voice. "Alright, you guys!" Ferid clapped his hands together. "It's time to play Truth or Dare!" he declared. Yuu watched as everyone began to follow Ferid into the living room. "Oh boy, here we go." he thought to himself as he watched Ferid place an empty Budweiser bottle in the center of the coffee table. Mika sat down next to him, their shoulders brushing against each other lightly. Yuu felt his heart nearly skip a beat as Ferid spoke. "Okay, so here are the rules. One person is going to spin this bottle around. Once the mouthpiece is pointing in a person's direction, the person who spun the bottle will ask that person if they want a truth or dare. That person will choose whether to tell a truth or perform a dare. After that, the person who was selected will spin the bottle." he looked at everyone. "So, any questions?" he asked. "Let's just get this game going!" a guy with brown hair and hazel eyes hollered. "Okay, okay, relax. I'll start us off." Ferid said. He reached out and spun the bottle around. The mouthpiece then pointed in the direction of a guy with blond hair and brown eyes.  "Okay! Martin, truth or dare?" he asked. "I'll take a truth." Martin replied. "So, have you ever pulled a terrible prank on someone?" Ferid asked. "Well, I remember putting shaving cream on my brother's toothbrush on April Fool's Day two years ago." Martin explained. "Well, that's interesting." Ferid commented as Martin reached out and spun the bottle. Yuu watched as many people spoke about various things from their first kiss to if they were still a virgin and performing dares such as worshipping one's feet and licking under someone's armpit. Everyone applauded as Crowley finished chugging a Solo cup full of vodka mixed with whiskey (Yuu was sure that Crowley was really going to feel it the next morning). "Geez, I seriously cannot believe he drank that concoction." Yuu pointed out as he finished his cup of fruit punch. "Well, Crowley's always been a daredevil, so it was to be expected." Mika commented as Crowley spun the bottle. The mouthpiece pointed in Krul's direction, causing him to grin. "Alrighty, Krul. Give me a truth or a dare." Crowley said. "I think I'll do a dare." she replied. "Okay." Crowley examined Krul like he were thinking of a good dare to give her. "Aha. I dare you to take off a piece of clothing." he dared. "Alright." Krul reached for the hem of her white miniskirt. "Don't say I didn't warn you." she said before pulling them down to reveal a pair of red boy short undies that had red lace sewn to the bottom of it. All the guys (excluding Mika and Yuu) hooted and hollered as Crowley whistled. "Well, damn! I thought you would have a thong on!" Crowley exclaimed. Krul rolled her eyes. "What? I'm not snooping around for a quick fuck." she stated. "Well, in case you change your mind, I'm always here." Crowley commented. Krul snarled as she chucked an empty Solo cup at his face. "Screw off, Crowley." she snapped. "Try me." he shot back. Krul chose to ignore him as she spun the bottle. The mouthpiece pointed at Mika. "Okay, Mika! Truth or dare?" she asked. "Hm..." Mika tapped a finger against his chin. "I think I'm going to take a dare." he said. "Well, aren't you quite daring." she sat there for a few seconds before coming up with a dare. "Ah, perfect! Mika, I dare you to kiss the person to your left on any part of their body." she said. "You want me to kiss Yuu?" Mika asked, pointing at Yuu as he said that. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as Krul spoke. "Why, of course! And you can't back out of it, Mister." Krul said. "Well, when you put it that way, I guess I can't." Mika commented before shifting his body to look at Yuu. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as Mika began to lean in towards him. "He's moving in so close..." Yuu thought to himself. He felt Mika's breath blow against his lips for a split second before he dipped his head down and he pressed his lips to Yuu's neck. Yuu tensed up at the feeling. Mika then dragged his teeth along his neck, causing him to shiver. "Okay, that's enough gay seduction for one night!" Krul hollered. Mika chuckled against Yuu's neck as he pulled away. "Aw, and I was having fun, too." Mika spoke, shooting a glance at Krul as he said that. "You can have your fun all you want once we're out of sight!" Krul stated. Mika laughed. "Yeah, yeah, okay." he said before reaching for the bottle and spinning it. As the mouthpiece landed on Ferid and Mika asked Ferid if he wanted a truth or dare, Yuu could feel Mika's hand slowly slide up his leg and rest near his inner thigh. =============================================================================== After a few more rounds of Truth or Dare and twenty more cups of fruit punch (at this point, Yuu was certain someone had spiked it), Yuu was officially wasted.  He found himself moving over to where people were dancing in the living area and he began to dance, nearly tripping over himself every once in a while. "I don't think I've ever let loose like this before..." he thought to himself. He started backing up until he bumped into a chest. He looked up to see that he had bumped into Mika. "Hey, there." Mika greeted. "Hey, yerself." Yuu replied with a slight slur in his voice. "I didn't think you were such a lightweight." Mika commented. "I no liwei! I dink near thirtee cup o pun!" Yuu whined. (I'm not a lightweight! I drank nearly thirty cups of punch!) "The punch made you like this?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded. "Ye. Omeone speek it." he said. (Yeah. Someone spiked it.) "I see." Mika said. "Mmmmhmmmm." Yuu brought an arm up around Mika's neck as the song Talking Body came on. "Dan wit me. Dis my favorite song." he said as he began to move against Mika. (Dance with me. This is my favorite song.) "Okay." Mika replied as he began to move to the beat with Yuu. His hands slid down towards Yuu's hips as Yuu began to gyrate against him. He rolled his hips sensually as he felt something press against his clothed ass. "Mmm." Yuu looked at him. "You got a ten in you pant." he murmured. (You got a tent in your pants.) "So do you." Mika turned Yuu so that their chests were pressed together. "You're getting horny after a little bit of dirty dancing, Yuu-chan." he whispered. Yuu moaned softly, feeling Mika's hand brush over his ass as he looked at Mika. "We dis far in thu sory. You know wha happen nex." he slurred. (We're this far in the story. You know what happens next.) "Well, yeah." Mika reached for Yuu's hand. "Come." he said before pulling Yuu out of the crowd. They wove through many people until they approached a guest room. They slipped in and as soon as Yuu closed the door, Mika trapped him against it, attacking his neck. "Ah!" Yuu let out a gasp as Mika suckled roughly on the skin. He reached up to thread his fingers through his hair. He craned his head to give Mika access as he finished marking a hickey on him. His arms went under Yuu's legs and he hoisted him up, having Yuu wrap his legs around his torso as Mika carried him over to the bed in the room. He rested him on the bed and hovered over him. "Mika..." Yuu trailed off. Mika said nothing before moving back down to press a kiss to Yuu's neck. He continued to pepper Yuu's neck with kisses as he reached for his shirt and pulled it off of him. Mika dragged his tongue along Yuu's collarbone before moving down towards his nipples. He observed them, which made Yuu blush. "Wh-Why are you staring so much?" he asked. "I'm just admiring your body. You're nice and slim and..." Mika ran a finger down his side. "It's making me want to eat you up the more I stare at you." he said. Yuu blushed furiously. "You- - -Mmmmm!" Yuu gasped as Mika latched onto a nipple. He swirled his tongue around it, making it hard. "Oh yes, Mika, plea- - -Ah!" Mika tweaked with the other nipple in between his fingers. He flicked his tongue against the nipple he was suckling on before swapping nipples. Yuu writhed under Mika's touch as Mika nibbled on his nipple. "Mmmm...oh yes, Mika..." a moan fell from his lips as Mika pulled away from the nipple. He began to lick down Yuu's chest towards his stomach. His tongue dipped into his navel, making Yuu arch his back a little. "Ugh, dammit..." Yuu grunted. Mika continued licking down until he reached his cock. "Hm, you're getting harder and harder by the second." Mika commented. "Mika, stop teasing- - -Mmmmm." Yuu let out a hum as Mika engulfed the tip with his mouth. He swirled his tongue around it, bobbing his head on it. Yuu moaned as he slid his hand down to run his fingers through Mika's hair. "Oh, shit...Mika..." another moan fell from Yuu's lips. The way Mika's tongue swirled around his length and how he would move his mouth down on it was starting to drive him crazy. "Nnnnn, Mika...!" he gasped out. "Hm?" Mika hummed in response around his cock, the vibrations shooting through Yuu and making him moan even louder. "God, I...I'm going to...!" Yuu couldn't form complete sentences. He was too lost by the sensation of Mika's warm mouth over his twitching cock. Mika withdrew from Yuu's cock and he began to pump it with his hand. "Cum for me, Yuu-chan." Mika purred. That was enough to send Yuu over the edge as he came, white ropes of cum spraying all over his chest and Mika's hand. Mika pulled his hand away and he looked at Yuu. "Yuu-chan, you made such a mess." he cooed. He then moved in towards Yuu, making sure he didn't crush the flustered boy. "Lick." he commanded. Yuu nodded slowly before sitting up and bringing Mika's cum-covered hand towards his mouth. He brought one finger in and he began to suck on it. He swirled his tongue around Mika's middle finger as his hand moved down and it began to slide up Mika's thigh. It landed on Mika's crotch and he played with the zipper on his shorts, tugging on it. He watched Mika with a seductive look as he finished cleaning Mika's hand. "Geez, you really are dirty." Mika commented as he reached to pull his shirt off. He then rid himself of his shorts and boxers to reveal his hardened cock. Yuu bit his lip, looking at the size of Mika's cock. "Holy shit! Would that even fit in me?!" his mind shouted. "Lick these once more." Mika said, bringing his fingers back up to Yuu's mouth. Yuu took them into his mouth, covering them with his saliva. He rolled his tongue along the slender digits as he brought a hand to begin pumping Mika's cock. Mika pulled his fingers out from Yuu's mouth and he reached to spread Yuu's ass cheeks apart. He ran a slick finger around Yuu's puckered entrance, teasing it. Yuu shivered at the feeling. "Mmmmm..." he hummed out. He then brought the tip of Mika's cock into his mouth, making Mika grunt. He lapped at the pre-cum leaking out of the tip and he began moving up and down on his cock as he felt Mika push a finger into him. He let out a muffled moan onto Mika's cock. The vibrations that were sent throughout Mika's body made him grunt as he thrusted his finger in and out of his hole. Slurping noises filled the room as Yuu continued to suck on his cock, using his hand to pump what he could not swallow. Mika inserted another finger and began to scissor inside of him. "Mmmm!" Yuu moaned again as he sucked harder. He then pulled away with a 'pop' and he pumped Mika's cock as he stared up at him with lust-filled eyes. "Mika..." he ran his tongue along moist, pre-cum coated lips. "I need it...I need you in me..." he trailed off. "Do you now?" Yuu nodded as Mika pulled his fingers out of him and he laid him down on the bed. "You want me inside of you?" he asked. He brought the tip of his hardened cock to Yuu's entrance, pressing lightly against it. Yuu whimpered, not liking how Mika was teasing him. "Nnnnn...Mika..." he murmured out. "Hm?" Mika ran a hand up Yuu's cheek and into his hair. "What is it, Yuu-chan? What is it that you want me to do?" he asked. "I want you..." Yuu panted out. "You want me? In what way?" Mika purred. "I need your cock inside me...I need you to pound into me continuously until I explode...so, just give it to me...!" Yuu whined. "Alright. I'll give it to you." Mika said before pushing into him. Yuu cried out, feeling the pain surge through him as Mika pushed half of his cock. His back arched off the bed as Mika cooed. "Calm down, Yuu-chan. Take deep breaths. Relax yourself." he stroked his thumb across the rise of Yuu's flushed cheek. "I'm going to push in a little slower, okay?" he whispered softly. Yuu nodded his head slowly, relaxing under Mika's touch. Mika continued to push into him, making sure he didn't hurt Yuu in any way. After a couple minutes, he was completely sheathed. Mika stayed where he was, feeling how Yuu wrapped around him so tightly. Yuu panted as he gazed up at Mika, whose blue eyes were glazed over. "Mika..." he reached a hand up to brush his thumb along Mika's lips. "You can go now..." he whispered. Mika nodded before pulling nearly all the way out so that the tip was the only thing inside him. Then, he thrusted into him, causing Yuu to moan loudly. "Oh! Mika, more!" Yuu called out, his hands reaching to grab for the sheets. Mika's hands slid up to Yuu's waist, holding him as he began to thrust into him. Moan after moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika began to pick up the pace. He looked up at Mika, who had an animalistic look in his eyes. The way Mika watched him made his stomach do flops. It was like Mika wanted to tear him apar and devour him whole. Just the thought of it made him want to moan. The bed creaked and the smell of sweat and sex wafted through the air. Mika then nailed Yuu's prostate, causing Yuu to let out a loud shout. "Oh, fucking shit! Mika, right there!" he cried out. Mika nodded before snapping his hips into Yuu's. The bed creaked louder, the air grew more hot, and the sounds of Yuu's pants, moans, and cries of pleasure were like music to Mika's ears. "Mmmm, Mika! Harder! Faster! Please, fuck me ha- - -Ah!" Yuu swore he was seeing stars dance across his vision. Drool was starting to dribble down the side of Yuu's mouth as he felt a familiar heat pool in his nether regions. "Oh, Mika..." Yuu moaned out. "Yes?" Mika leaned in to lick at the saliva collecting at the corner of Yuu's mouth. "What is it, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "I...I can feel it..." Yuu's back arched at one particular rough thrust. "I'm going to...c-cum...!" Yuu choked out. "Come on, Yuu-chan." Mika reached for Yuu's reawakened erection and he began to pump it quickly in time with his thrusts. "Cum for me." he whispered against Yuu's lips. Yuu let out a loud cry, throwing his head back into the pillow as he came, his orgasm hitting him like a tsunami. White ropes of cum shot out, coating his chest. His body jolted, his back arching off the bed for what felt like the hundreth time as he rode out his orgasm. His wall clenched down on Mika's cock, causing him to hiss. His thrusts grew jerky as he pounded faster into Yuu. He then came undone, shooting cum into Yuu. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Mika slowly pulled out. Yuu grunted at the loss of Mika's cock inside him. Mika watched as some cum leaked out of his hole. He then looked at Yuu, who watched him with half-lidded eyes. "Mi...ka..." he choked out. "Yes, Yuu-chan?" he answered. "You could at least drop..." he trailed off, his eyes sliding shut. A small smile pulled at Mika's lips as Yuu fell asleep. "You like to sleep after you have sex, huh..." he murmured before falling beside him on the bed, the party and ruckus outside of the room long forgotten. ***** Hit the Back Seat ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, suggestive content, teasing, blowjob, YAOI (boyxboy) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter of IASWASB! So, I'm sorry that this took a long while to come out. I got stuck on the smut scene (again). So, I hope I did okay there. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that mahy be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D --------------------------------------- Come bug me on my Tumblr page at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ Yuu slowly stirred the next morning.  "Mmmmm..." he let out a tired moan as his eyes fluttered open. The sun peeked through the light green curtains in the room he was in. He slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep out from his eyes. "Where am I...?" he murmured. "This is definitely not my room." he thought to himself. His hand drifted across the white sheets until his fingers brushed against something warm. He looked to his right to see Mika laying down beside him. "Oh yeah...the two of us came to this party and we..." he examined Mika's naked body. "We fucked." he thought to himself. The thought made Yuu blush. "We actually did it! We had sex! Holy freaking shit!" he shifted a bit on the bed, slight pain shooting through his body. "And the pain in my lower body makes it all the more real. He really did fuck me." he thought to himself. He couldn't help but stare at Mika as he slept. He ran his fingers up Mika's arm, tracing the shape of his bicep. It then trailed up his neck and along his cheek, brushing lightly against Mika's hair, which shone in the sun. "So beautiful..." he breathed out. Unknown to him, Mika's eyes slowly opened. He rolled his eyes up to see that Yuu was gazing at him with flushed cheeks. "It seems like someone's getting a good view." he murmured tiredly, causing Yuu to let out a yelp. "M-Mika!" he stammered out. Mika stretched, yawning as he looked at Yuu. "Morning." he said. "G-Good morning..." Yuu replied with a slight stammer as Mika sat up on the bed. He took the time to examine Mika's broad shoulders his well-defined chest, and his six pack, watching how the sun outlined his features perfectly. His eyes then trailed down to his cock. He then blushed, quickly turning his head away. "Goodness, Yuu! Don't look down there! You might grow an erection at that point!" his mind screamed. "Yuu-chan?" Mika questioned. "Um...I- - -" that was when he felt something begin to rise up in his throat. Yuu gasped sharply. "Shit...!" he managed to gasp out, throwing his head over the bed as vomit spilled from his mouth. "Whoa, shit!" Mika scrambled over by Mika as Yuu stared at the puddle on the floor. "Are you okay?" he asked. Yuu coughed as he turned his head to look at Mika. "Hangover..." he muttered. "I see. Well, I've got the solution for that." Mika said. "Really?" Yuu watched as Mika got off of the bed. "Like what?" he asked. Mika looked over at Yuu as he spoke. "We're going out for coffee." =============================================================================== After cleaning up, getting dressed, and apologizing to Ferid for overstaying their welcome (Ferid was fine with it, since it seemed like everyone also overstayed their welcome), Mika drove into town.  Yuu glanced down at his phone, reading the text that was sent to him. [09:30:16 am] MISTER YUUICHIROU ICHINOSE!!! JUST WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! He sighed, catching Mika's attention. "What's wrong, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Ah...I just got a text from Guren..." Yuu murmured. "Okay." Mika replied as he turned a left. Yuu looked down at his phone as he typed out a reply. [09:27:01 am] Sorry; I'm going out for coffee w/ Mika. [09:27:13 am] Coffee? Da hell you going to get coffee for? [09:27:20 am] Mika says that it is the cure for hangovers. [09:27:21 am] YOU GOT HUNG OVER?! [09:27:23 am] I'm sorry! I didn't even know that the fruit punch was spiked until it was too late!!! [09:28:00 am] Ok, fine. Just text me when you get back; I'm going to have brunch with Shinya. [09:28:11 am] K. Yuu slipped his phone into his pants pocket as Mika parallel parked by the curb in front of a coffee shop. "The Little Coffee Cup..." Yuu trailed off, examining the sign above the glass door. "Yeah. I usually come here for breakfast whenever my mother has to leave for work early. It's not too far from where I live." Mika explained as he cut the engine and they stepped out of the car. They made their way into the coffee shop, was was quaint and quiet for a Sunday morning. The floors were a dark hardwood with cream colored walls, booths along the windows, and round tables with wrought iron chairs that had patterned circle cushions on them. There was a counter with two registers wedged in between two glass display cases showing pastries and sandwiches. "It's such a cute, little cafe." Yuu commented. "That's why I like it. It's got its own little charm. Plus, they're not really busy on any day besides Monday morning." Mika said as they got in line behind an elderly woman. Yuu looked up at the menu board, which was a chalk board with all the menu items written in white chalk. "Do you know what you want?" Mika asked. "Hm...maybe I'll try a mocha." Yuu said. "Cool. I'm going to get what I usually get." Mika said. "And that is?" Yuu asked. "A caramel macchiato with soy milk." Mika replied. "Cool." Yuu replied as they were called up to a register. "Hello and welcome to The Little Coffee Cup! What can I get for you guys today?" the woman up front asked. "I'll have a caramel macchiato with soy milk and a spinach and cheese sandwich." Mika said. "Okay." she typed in Mika's order and looked over at Yuu. "And for you?" she asked. "Um...I'll take a dark chocolate mocha, please." Yuu said. "Okay! Would you like almond milk, coconut milk, whole milk, or soy milk?" she asked. "Um...whole milk will be fine." Yuu replied. "And would you like whipped cream on top?" she asked. "Yeah." Yuu replied. "Would you like any toppings? We have syrup drizzles such as fudge, caramel, and strawberry along with extra whip cream, cocoa powder..." Yuu's head began to spin at the toppings the woman was listing. "Holy shit! They're almost as complicated as the Starbucks by Shinoa's house!" his mind shouted. "U-Um...what were the syrup drizzles again?" he asked. "You can choose from fudge, caramel, or strawberry." she said. "I guess I'll take a fudge drizzle, then." Yuu said. "Okay! Would you like a pastry or sandwich to go along with that mocha?" she asked. "Um...can I get a double chocolate muffin, please?" he asked. "Yes, of course!" she typed in his order and she looked at Mika. "Your total is going to be $15.75!" she chirped. Mika took out his wallet as he spoke. "Do you guys take the chip now?" he asked, fishing out his debit card. "Yes, we do!" she replied as she went to get Yuu's muffin. Mika stuck his card into the slot, letting it read his chip. It let out a loud, blaring sound moments later and he took his card out. As he typed in his pin, Yuu's muffin and Mika's macchiato was placed on the counter. "Would you like for me to warm your sandwich for you?" she asked. "Yes, that would be nice." he replied. She went to put the sandwich in the microwave and she began making Yuu's mocha. She took the sandwich out after twenty five seconds and she handed it to Mika as she printed off their receipt. "And here is your receipt! Your mocha should be done in about a couple of minutes. We'll bring it over to you once it's done." she said, handing Mika his receipt. "Thank you." Mika replied as he looked at Yuu. "Let's go over by that booth there." he said, nodding his head over at the half circle booth tucked into the corner of the cafe by the window. Yuu nodded as they made their way over to the booth and they slid in with Yuu sitting across from Mika. Yuu tore a piece off from his muffin and he popped it into his mouth as he observed his surroundings. "It's so quiet..." he murmured. "I know, right? It's pretty peaceful." Mika said. "That's nice." Yuu said as the woman came up to their booth and handed Yuu his mocha. "Enjoy, you guys." she said before walking off. The smell of chocolate wafted in the air, making Yuu smile. "Mmmm, this smells so good." he said before bringing the cup to his lips. He brought the cup away after taking a sip, some whipped cream smeared across his nose. Mika took a bite out of his sandwich as he spotted the whip cream on Yuu's nose. "Ah, you've got whip cream on your nose." he stated. "I do?" he rested the coffee cup on the table and he scrambled for a napkin. He pulled a napkin out of the napkin holder as Mika grabbed for his wrist. He lowered Yuu's hand, causing Yuu to arch a brow. "Mika, what are you- - -" he was cut off by Mika leaning in and licking at the whip cream on his nose. He swore his cheeks were red like a tomato as Mika pulled away. "You..." Yuu trailed off. "What? You had cream on your nose. All I did was wipe it off." Mika replied innocently as he took a sip of his macchiato. "But you didn't have to lick it off like that!" he thought to himself. He pouted as he continued to tear out chunks from his muffin and pop them into his mouth. He took another sip from his mocha as he looked at Mika, who had finished off his sandwich. "He thinks he can do that and get away with it, huh..." a smile pulled at his lips. "Well, I'll show him!" he thought to himself. "Are you done with your mocha ye- - -" Mika held back a surprised hiss as he felt a foot on his crotch. He watched Yuu in shock as a smirk curled Yuu's lips upwards. "What? I'm not doing anything to you." he spoke innocently. "Oh, sure you aren't." Mika replied. Yuu pressed his foot onto the slowly growing bulge in Mika's pants a little harder, enjoying the hisses that came from the blond. "So," he shot him a suggestive look, his lips slightly pursed, "are you done? I've got places to be." he said. Mika looked at Yuu. "I would be if you would just put your damn foot down." he said. "Hm, should I?" Yuu tapped a finger against his chin. "Maybe if you'll say please." he said. Mika narrowed his eyes at Yuu before sighing. "Okay, fine. Please put your foot down for me." he said. "Okay!" Yuu dropped his foot onto the floor and he slipped out of the booth. "Let's go. I seriously got to get home." he said. Mika nodded before taking his cup of coffee and following Yuu out of the coffee shop. =============================================================================== Yuu looked out the window, watching people pass by on the sidewalk as Mika stopped in front of a blue Mazda.  "It's pretty busy out there, isn't it?" he said. "Yeah. It's usually like that." Mika replied. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. He ran his finger along the window as he glanced over at Mika. His eyes traveled down his body and he couldn't stop the smirk that pulled at his lips. "So, Mika." he spoke suddenly. "Yeah?" he answered. "Are you hard, by any chance?" Yuu asked. "What makes you think that?" Mika asked. "Well..." Yuu reached out towards Mika. "When I had my foot on your crotch, it felt like you were growing hard. So, were you?" he asked as his hand landed on Mika's leg. Mika jolted slightly at the touch. "Yuu..." he spoke, his voice low as he kept his eyes on the road. "Let me take care of it." Yuu said as his hand slid up towards the zipper. "Yuu- - -" he cut Mika off. "Just drive." he took Mika's cock out. "I'll take care of this." he said as he wrapped a hand around Mika's cock and he began to pump it in his hand. Mika bit down on his lip, trying to hold back a hiss as the traffic light turned green. He drove down the road, his eyes on the road. He took a left as Yuu unbuckled his seatbelt. "Wh-Why are you unbuckling your seatbelt?!" Mika exclaimed in shock. "You can't cum just with my hand alone, now can you?" Yuu replied before shifting his body a little and bringing the tip of Mika's cock into his mouth. Mika hissed, his foot nearly slamming down on the gas as Yuu bobbed his head up and down slowly. He dragged his tongue along the tip, tasting the pre-cum that was leaking out of it. "Shit...how the hell do you expect me to drive when you're sucking my dick?" Mika asked. "Well, you've gotta find a way." Yuu replied as he began swallowing more and more of Mika's length. Yuu moaned around his cock, causing Mika to let out a grunt. "Dammit..." he hissed out. He stopped at a stop light and he instantly reached his hand down to fist it in Yuu's hair. He brought Yuu's head down a little more, making Yuu nearly choke on his cock. "Pwah!" Mika pulled Yuu's head up and Yuu stared at him, his lips shining with pre-cum. "Wow, Mika..." he pressed a kiss to the leaking tip. "Your cock just keeps getting bigger and bigger..." he purred as he pumped his cock in his hand. Mika gritted his teeth as Yuu pumped faster, his hand moving up and down his shaft. "Oh, fuck it." he said before taking a sharp right and pulling into an alleyway. "Hm?" Yuu looked at Mika. "Why did you pull in here?" he asked. "Get in the back." Mika said. "Um...okay?" Yuu responded before crawling into the back of the car. Mika unbuckled his seatbelt and he also crawled into the back. "So, why are we in the back here?" Yuu asked. "I'm sure you know why." Mika said before reaching out and undoing Yuu's pants, yanking them off. Yuu blushed furiously as he looked up at Mika. "M-Mika!" he stammered out. "You know I can't go home like this." he reached for Yuu's boxers. "And I know you can't, either." he said before pulling off Yuu's boxers to reveal his hardened erection. "See? Look at how hard you are." Mika said as he poked lightly at the tip. Yuu whimpered a little at the touch. "M-Mika...you..." he trailed off. Mika then brought his hand up to Yuu's mouth. "Would you mind getting these wet for me?" he asked. Yuu said nothing as he grabbed for Mika's hand by the wrist and he brought his fingers into his mouth. He ran his tongue along them as Mika ran a finger along the underside of his cock. Yuu moaned onto his fingers. "Mmmmmm..." he hummed as Mika pulled his fingers out and he moved them down. "Mika- - -" he then gasped as two fingers were pushed into his entrance. "Shit...!" he moaned out as Mika began to slowly thrust him fingers in and out of him. His fingers curled around the edges of the seats, another moan falling from his lips. Mika moved in and he licked at the underside of Yuu's cock whilst fondling his sac with his free hand. He then licked down and began to suck lightly on his sac, drawing more moans from Yuu. "Oh, Mika...!" his hand moved to fist itself in Mika's hair. "Ah, shit! I'm going to cum!" he cried out. Mika sucked harder on his sac as Yuu came, cum spurting onto his shirt. Mika's fingers stilled inside of him for a couple of minutes before he pulled them out. "You made a mess again, Yuu-chan. Take that shirt off." Mika said as he reached for Yuu's shirt and he pulled it over his head. He took off his shirt, as well. "Get on all fours." he said. Yuu nodded as he got on his hands and knees on the seats. Mika got behind him and he ran the tip of his cock along Yuu's entrance. "Mika...put it in..." Yuu whispered out. "Hm? What was that?" Mika asked. "Please...! Please put your cock in me, Mika...!" Yuu pleaded, whimpering when Mika slightly poked at his entrance with the tip of his cock. Mika said nothing as he pushed the tip into him. Yuu hissed, feeling Mika beginning to slowly fill him up. His hands gripped at the seat as Mika was completely sheathed inside of him. "I'm going to move." Mika said. Yuu nodded his head as Mika's hands slid up to his waist. He slowly pulled out until only the head was inside and he thrusted all the way back in. Yuu moaned as Mika continued to thrust into him. "Ah...Mika...go faster..." he panted out. Mika nodded as he began to pick up the pace, skin slapping against skin. He rolled his hips into Yuu as Yuu let out another moan. "Shit...oh god, yes!" Yuu cried out. That was when Mika rammed right into his prostate, making Yuu's head fly back. "Oh, shit! Mika!" he cried out. Loud moans were ripped from his throat as Mika began to pound mercilessly into that spot. Yuu bit down on his lip as his head began to spin. "Shit..." he gritted out. His forehead rubbed against the seat as Mika's hand slid down. He reached for Yuu's erection and he began to pump it. Yuu panted harshly, drool dribbling down his chin as he felt that familiar heat pool in his stomach. "Nnnnnn...Mi...ka...!" a moan fell from Yuu's lips. "I...I'm going to cum...!" he cried out. Mika pounded into him whilst stroking Yuu's cock quickly. He hit his prostate as Yuu choked out a shout, cum spurting out onto the car seats. Mika came soon after, filling Yuu up with his cum. His head fell forward and he rested his forehead on Yuu's back. Yuu tensed up. "M-Mika?" he asked. "I'm sorry, can I just catch my breath for a minute?" he asked. Yuu nodded his head. "Y-Yeah, of course..." he stammered out. Mika stayed still for a couple of seconds before slowly pulling out and beginning to nip lightly at Yuu's skin. "Mika..." Yuu trailed off. His lips ghosted up to the crook of Yuu's neck and began to suckle on that spot. "Mmmmm..." Yuu hummed as he let Mika continue to suckle on his skin. Mika pulled away and he eyed the red mark he left there. He pressed a light kiss to it, making Yuu shudder a little. "I've gotta get you home." Mika pulled away and he started to put his clothes on. "Get dressed so I can get you home." he said. Yuu nodded as he slowly sat up and began to change back into his clothes as Mika got into the driver's seat and he drove out of the alleyway and back into the traffic. ***** Mark Your Territory ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! Welcome back to IASWASB! So, I do apologize for the short chapter (I just now realized that it was pretty short). However, I can assure you that Chapter 11 will be much longer and will make up for the length of this chapter. Oh, and before I forget, here's a list of the story numbers done so far: -Story #71: Handjob in the library -Story #58: Sex at a party -Story #238: Pressing foot against crotch in a coffee shop -Story #59: Blowjob and car sex I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D -------------------------------------- Come bug me on my Tumblr at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ Yuu slurped up some noodles as Shinoa narrowed her eyes at him.  "What is that look for?" he swallowed his food. "It's scaring me a little." he said. "Yeah, you've been staring at him for quite some time. What's up?" Yoichi asked. "I'm just wondering about that mark on his neck, that's all." Shinoa stated. "There's a mark on his neck?" Kimizuki questioned, a brow arched in confusion. "Yes. Look at it." Shinoa said, pointing at the red spot on his neck. "Oh, you're right!" Mitsuba examined his neck. "What happened over there?" she asked as she poked at it. Yuu's hand instantly flew up to the spot where Mitsuba had poked. "It...It's probably just a bug bite!" he exclaimed. "Lies." Kimizuki narrowed his eyes at him. "That's a typical way to hide the fact that you got a hickey." he said. "What?!" Mitsuba screeched. Yoichi's cheeks flushed a bright red while Shinoa's hand went over her mouth to hide the smirk that was crawling up onto her lips. "Ohoh? Yuu, did you perhaps lose your virginity over the weekend?" she asked. "Of course not!" Yuu snapped. "B-But the hickey...!" Yoichi squeaked out. "It's not a hickey!" Yuu complained. "What?! You got me all hyped up for nothing!" Mitsuba whined. "Why in the world would you be hyped up over something like that?!" Yuu asked. "Well, because you haven't actually engaged in anything sexual besides writing out your fantasies, after all." Shinoa said. "Oh, shut up." Yuu snapped as he ate more of his noodles. He slurped them up as he glanced over at the circle table in the center of the cafeteria, where Mika sat along with Crowley and Ferid. He watched as Krul made her way over to the table and sat down next to Mika. He bit his lip as he watched Mika and Krul interact with one another. "They're so close..." he then shook his head. "No, Yuu, stop it! You should've expected this. Besides, you two are from vastly different worlds, after all." he told himself. He tuned out Shinoa and the others, watching how Krul's fingers trailed up Mika's arm. His fingers gripped around the pair of chopsticks that he was holding. "But still...but still...!" he thought to himself. He quickly stood up, catching everyone's attention. "Yuu?" Yoichi spoke up. "U-Um...I'm heading to the restroom." Yuu said before grabbing for his bag and walking off. He ignored Kimizuki calling out to him as he breezed out of the cafeteria. Once he was sure that he was out of sight, he began to run. "I don't know why I am so frustrated. I mean, I know I like Mika, but the only reason he's with me in the first place is because he just wants the entertainment. Why should it matter that he's talking to Krul, anyway? He has the right to talk to whoever he wants to!" he pushed the door to the men's restroom open. "I can't exactly stop him." he told himself. He slipped into a stall and locked it behind him. He pressed his back to the stall door as he took at shaky breath. "I know that...and yet..." his voice cracked a little as tears filled up in his eyes. "And yet it hurts that he won't at least pay some attention to me..." he trailed off. He sniffled. "And after he had sex with me, too..." he muttered. He wiped at some tears that had slipped down his cheeks as he heard the door to the restroom open. "Yuu-chan?" Yuu froze, his sniffles stopping instantly. "Mika's in here? But why?" he asked himself. "Yuu-chan? Are you in here?" Yuu listened as the footsteps got closer. They then stopped in front of the stall Yuu was in. "Yuu-chan, I know you're in there." Mika said. "H-How do you know that I'm in here?" Yuu asked. "Well, we have been sneaking in here for the past couple of days, after all." Mika knocked on the stall. "Let me in." he said. "No. I won't let you in." Yuu replied. "And why not?" Mika asked. "Just go back to Krul or something. What happens to me shouldn't matter to you." Yuu said. It was silent between them for a couple of minutes. Then, Yuu watched as a backpack was slid under the stall. "What the...?!" he then watched as Mika crawled under the stall door. "M-Mika!" he stammered out. "Are you trying to avoid me, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Why would you assume that?" Yuu asked. "Well, you're not really looking me in the eye. Also, you said something that wounded me." Mika said. Yuu scoffed at that. "Like you would be wounded." he stated. "I am. The person that I had sex with the other night has officially pierced my heart." Mika said. "And that is exactly why I am frustrated." Yuu looked at him. "You fucked me and yet you keep clinging onto Krul! I mean, I know that you have every right to communicate with whoever you want to communicate with, but it still angers me!" he snapped. He panted harshly, nobody saying anything for what felt like centuries. Then, Mika cleared his throat. "Ah, I get it now." he crossed his arms over his chest. "You're jealous, aren't you?" he guessed. Yuu's cheeks suddenly flushed a bright red. Jackpot. "I...I am NOT jealous!" Yuu snapped. "Then what other word would express how you're feeling right now?" Mika asked. Yuu bit his lip, not knowing how to counter that statement. "You're just upset because someone is touching up your boy toy, am I right?" Mika asked. "I'm the boy toy here, not you." Yuu bit out. "But you're the one who's blowing up like this." Mika trapped Yuu against the door. "Okay, how about this?" he spoke. He tilted his head to give Yuu a view of his neck. "Mark me." he said. "Wh-What?! Why would I want to do that?!" Yuu asked. "You're upset that other people are touching me, aren't you? So, mark me and make them see that I belong to you." Mika watched him with a seductive twinkle in his eyes. "I'm at your every beck and call, Yuu-chan." he purred. Yuu shivered at the husky tone in Mika's voice as he felt a familiar heat pool in his stomach. He swallowed, looking at the long, pale column of Mika's neck. "Y...You need to seriously stop taking lines from my stories..." he murmured. "But, those are the lines that make you melt instantly. So," Mika slid his hand down Yuu's hip, resting his hand on his lower back as he pulled Yuu close, "won't you leave your mark on me, Yuu-chan? Mark your territory." he purred into Yuu's ear. Yuu whimpered at the feeling of Mika's breath on his ear. He then rested his hands on Mika's shoulders and he got on his tiptoes, moving in towards his neck. His lips connected with the junction connecting Mika's neck and shoulder and he began to suck. "Mmmmmm..." Mika's other hand went up to run his fingers through Yuu's hair. "That's a good boy, Yuu-chan." he spoke softly. Yuu suckled and nipped at the skin, humming occasionally. Mika's hand slipped down and he cupped Yuu's ass through his jeans, groping it lightly. Yuu pulled away and let out a small moan, his breath hitting the angry red mark that he just created. He licked and dragged his teeth along it before gazing up at Mika. Yuu's intense stare made Mika swallow. His emerald green eyes looked like it was staring into his soul. His eyes ran over his surprisingly thin eyebrows, the rise of his cheekbones, his small nose, and those pink lips. Yuu's tongue darted out and he ran the tip of his tongue along his bottom lip. As Mika watched Yuu's tongue slip back into his mouth, a thought suddenly struck him. He wondered what it would feel like to kiss Yuu. "Come on, Mika. You have to resist. You don't even like him romantically!" he told himself. Mika dipped his head down and he pressed a kiss under Yuu's chin. He then dragged his teeth along Yuu's jawline, causing him to shiver and let out a breathless moan. "So, what stories have we done so far?" Mika asked. "Um...number 71 was the library one, number 58 was the party one, the one where I touched your crotch with my foot in the coffee shop was number 238, and the blowjob and car sex was number 59." Yuu replied. "I see." Mika pulled his head up to look at Yuu. "Say, will you be free tomorrow night?" he asked. "I might. Why?" Yuu asked. "I want you to come over for dinner." Mika said. "Eh?" Yuu questioned, eyeing him in surprise. "Come over to my place. You can meet my mom and we can hang out and what not." Mika suggested. "Okay, I guess I can check with Guren." he looked at Mika. "What story were you thinking of?" Yuu asked. "Hm...ah, how about number 103? You know which one I'm talking about, don't you?" Mika said. "I do." Yuu replied. "It seems appropriate, doesn't it?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded his head slowly. "Yeah. I guess it does." ***** Berries and Cream ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, mentions of suicide (very brief; it's literally just one sentence), food play, suggestive content, YAOI (boyxboy) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys and swelcome back to IASWASB! So. I would like to apologize, first off, for how I have practically abandoned this story. Life has been crazy as of recently and I have at least 5- 6 hours of homework every night (thank you SO much, college), so I have chosen to give up my weekly Sunday update schedule and update once a chapter is done. I hope you guys understand. So, I've seen that some people have brought up the "Why hasn't Mika kissed Yuu yet" topic and I thought I should probably just address it: that will be revealed as we continue to go through the story. We'll be reaching a certain point in the story (it's about 2- 3 chapters away from now) where Mika's view on how he sees Yuu will change as a whole. And that is all you'll get from me pertaining that topic. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D See the end of the chapter for more notes "Ah, Yoichi! What a surprise!"  Yoichi smiled at Guren as the older male let him in. "Hello, Mister Ichinose." he greeted. "What brings you here?" Guren asked. "I just need to get away..." Yoichi muttered as Yuu came downstairs in a black Panic! At The Disco shirt and black pajama pants that had alien faces on it. "Ah! Yoichi! I didn't know you were coming over!" Yuu exclaimed. "Yeah, sorry for the unannounced visit. I needed to get out of the house for a little bit." Yoichi explained. "Well, that's fine by me. Come into the kitchen. Shinya's making some carne asadas." Guren said as he began to make his way over to the kitchen. Yoichi closed the door and he kicked off his shoes before following Guren and Yuu into the kitchen, where Shinya was ripping open a package of soft tortillas. "Ah, it seems like we have company!" Shinya chirped. "Yes, we do." Guren looked at Yoichi. "You don't mind steak, do you?" he asked. "I don't mind." Yoichi replied. "The food should take about ten more minutes, so you two go chill out in the living room." Guren said before making his way over to Shinya. Yuu and Yoichi made their way over to the living room and they sat down on the couch. "So, what brings you here, exactly?" Yuu asked. "Well..." Yoichi scratched at the back of his head. "Tomoe told Lacus to come over, so I decided to leave and come here." he said. "For real?" Yuu questioned. "I don't want to be there when they try and fuck!" Yoichi let out an exasperated sigh. "You know how I feel about Lacus. I want to tear those two apart so badly, but I don't want Tomoe to get angry with me..." he trailed off. "If you just tell her how you feel, then maybe she'll understand." Yuu suggested. "Gosh, I don't think you know how many times I've tried to express my distaste of Lacus to her..." Yoichi ran his fingers through his hair. "You remember when you crashed by my place and she went to some party with Lacus? I argued with her about it and she still won't listen." he explained. "Well, Tomoe's always been pretty stubborn..." Yuu trailed off. "I adore that about her, but I wish that she would just realize that Lacus is such a douche." Yoichi said. He leaned back a little on the couch. "Sometimes I wish Lacus would do something that would throw him in jail and make him serve a life sentence..." he grumbled. "Who do you wish were in jail?" they heard Guren asked. "Waaaagh!" Yoichi and Yuu watched as Guren and Shinya rested down some plates piled up with steak, tortillas, cheese, and other toppings on the coffee table before them. "N-Nothing at all! I...I didn't say anything of the sort!" Yoichi stammered out. Guren sighed. "Boy, we know about how you dislike that dude your sister's dating. It's okay." he said. "Alright...Well, I just wish that Tomoe would be able to see that Lacus is a self-conceited asshole." Yoichi said. "In what way?" Guren asked as Shinya approached them with a tray that had four glasses of sparkling water in them. Shinya rested the tray down and he sat down next to Guren as Yoichi spoke. "I always had a bad feeling about him since they started going out when I was in seventh grade and she was a high school sophomore, but that feeling intensified once their graduation ceremony arrived." Yoichi began. "Oh boy, are we really going to bring this up again?" Yuu asked. "Huh?" Guren arched a brow as Yoichi continued. "Yes, I am." Shinya handed everyone plates and Yoichi reached for a tortilla. "After the ceremony, Lacus had disappeared. So, Tomoe told me to go find hum because she wanted to take a grad picture with him. I went to go look for him and I found him with a girl in the men's bathroom. She was giving him a blowjob." he said. "Oh boy..." Guren trailed off. "And I think they banged after that. You could hear her moans even if you're at the end of the hall. Oh, and Yuu was with me, too." Yoichi said. "Ugh, I really did NOT want to remember that! Why did you have to bring that up again?!" Yuu complained. "Because it completely validates my reason for my disgust towards him." Yoichi stated. "Does Tomoe know about that?" Shinya asked as he placed some pieces of steak on top of his tortilla. Yoichi shook his head. "No. I never cared to tell her. But, everytime we argue about him, I am so tempted to yell at her and say that he had fucked a girl at the graduation ceremony. Actually, as a matter of fact, he had been dating seven other women besides her. I wanted to tell her everything." Yoichi said. "And? What's stopping you from doing that?" Guren asked. "Well...I just don't like seeing her look so distraught. The last time she looked that way was when our parents died. I don't want her to look that way again because of something I said." Yoichi explained. "I see..." Guren trailed off. "Yoichi, you are a good brother." Shinya commented. "If I were a good brother, she would've broken up with Lacus by now..." Yoichi grumbled as he fixed up his carne asada and sprinkled some cheese onto it. "But, you're keeping quiet about Lacus's dirty deeds for the sake of keeping her happy. A true brother would want to protect that smile no matter what." Shinya said with a smile. "I...I see..." Yoichi trailed off. "No wonder you're a counselor. You seem to know what to say to make someone feel better." Guren stated. "Aw, thanks. And no wonder you're a math teacher! You're so aggressive when it comes to teaching numbers!" Shinya gushed teasingly. "Oh, you hush!" Guren snapped as he smacked Shinya's knee, causing him to laugh. "But, you're the most aggressive when it comes to the bedroom." Shinya spoke, shooting Guren a seductive wink. "Ew, gross. Stop flirting in front of the children." Yuu said as he stuck his tongue. "Well, you're one to talk!" Guren looked at Yuu. "You're the one who openly writes gay smut in public!" he snapped. "Hey! Don't compare me to you!" Yuu shot back. "My actions are nothing compared to yours. I may be older than you, but you kids have more at hand when it comes to sex." Guren pointed out. "Well, I can't say I disagree when you put it like that..." Yoichi trailed off. "See? Your friend has some sense unlike yourself. I mean, you go to some party and then you and Mister Blond Athlete That You Have Wet Dreams About come back home the next morning looking like you two had a quick fu- - -" Yuu let out a loud shushing sound, cutting Guren off. "AND we don't need to talk about that!" Yuu declared. "Wait, you and Mika had sex?!" Yoichi squeaked out. "No, we- - -" Guren cut Yuu off. "Well, duh. He wouldn't have that damn hickey on his neck if they didn't fuck." Guren stated, pointing at the hickey that was still on Yuu's neck. "So, you do have a hickey?!" Yoichi exclaimed. "And like I said, it's not a hickey!" Yuu snapped. "Stop lying about it, ya punk!" Guren growled out as he smacked the back of Yuu's head. "Ouch! You idiot Guren!" Yuu snapped angrily. "Now, now, everyone calm down..." Shinya took a bite out of his carne asada. "Why don't we move to a different subject?" he suggested. "So, Mika..." Yoichi bit into his carne asada. "Is he actually interested in you or something? I mean, the two of you hang out more and more each day." he said. "If he's interested?" Yuu questioned. "Like, in a romantic sense." Yoichi said. "No way! He's straight and I'm gay! There's absolutely no way that he'd be interested in me!" Yuu exclaimed as he created his carne asada. He squeezed some lime over it as he spoke. "But..." he trailed off. "But?" Yoichi asked. "But, he asked me to come by his place for dinner tomorrow. He even said that he'd let me meet his mom..." Yuu explained. "If that doesn't scream, 'hey, I have romantic feelings for you!', then I don't know what else does." Guren stated bluntly. "Why don't you go over there tomorrow?" Shinya asked suddenly. "Huh?" Yuu questioned. "Go by his place tomorrow and observe his actions. Maybe that'll give you a clue on how he actually feels." Shinya suggested. "Okay, I think I'll do that." Yuu said as they went back to eating and Shinya reached to turn on the TV. =============================================================================== Yuu stood in front of the house that Mika had sent him the address for the next evening.  "Whoa...it's much smaller than I thought it was going to be..." he murmured. "Just text me when you're ready to get picked up, okay?" Guren called out from the red Subaru. "Yeah." Yuu replied as Guren drove off. He made his way up the driveway and over to the front door. He rang the doorbell and waited. The door then opened to reveal a woman with blonde hair pulled into a loose ponytail and brown eyes. "Ah, are you Yuu?" she asked. "I am, yes." Yuu replied. "Come in." she let Yuu into the house as she looked over her shoulder. "Mika! Your friend's here!" she called out. "I'm coming, Mom!" Yuu heard a voice call out from upstairs and he quickly recognized it as Mika's. "Come." she motioned for Yuu to follow her into the kitchen. "I am Mrs. Shindo. It is such a pleasure to meet you, Yuu." she said. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mrs. Shindo." Yuu said as they shook hands. She let go of his hand as she spoke. "So, how do you two know each other?" she asked. "We're usually in the library at the same time and we just happened to strike a conversation." Yuu explained. "I can't exactly tell her that he sexually teases me at school all the time and that we had sex twice this past weekend. That would be crazy." Yuu thought to himself. "I see. Do you play any sports, by any chance?" she asked. Yuu shook his head. "No, I don't. I'm more into writing." Yuu said. "Oh, that's nice. I'm so glad that Mika has become friends with someone who isn't a jock." she said. Her statement made Yuu arch a brow. "Huh? What do you mean?" he asked as he watched Mrs. Shindo make her way over to the kitchen island. "The boys that Mika usually hangs out with are such a terrible influence. My Mika is a sweet child and yet he goes hanging around with people that consider drinking and partying part of their daily routine." she explained. "Mom, just what are you telling Yuu?" Yuu jumped a little as he looked to see Mika beside him in a red top and black and white basketball shorts. "M-Mika!" he stammered out. "You've finally come downstairs, I see." she finished stirring something on the stove on the island. "I was just telling him that you have finally become friends with someone that doesn't have such a bad influence." she explained. "Crowley and Ferid aren't bad people, Mom." Mika said. He made his way over to the cabinet and he opened it, pulling out three blue and white bowls. "Can we not have this conversation right now?" he asked. "Whoever said we were having this conversation? You have a guest, Mika. Make him feel welcome." she then looked at him. "Do you eat pho?" she asked. "Mmmmm, not often. But, I've had pho before." Yuu replied. "Alright, because that is what we're having for dinner tonight." she said. "Okay." Yuu replied as Mika handed him a bowl. They made their way over to the pot and Mrs. Shindo began ladling broth and noodles into their bowls. She dropped some scallions, thinly sliced radish, and slices of beef into the bowl and Yuu and Mika headed over to the kitchen table. Yuu rested his bowl down on the black circular place mat as Mika spoke. "Do you want me to get you something to drink?" he asked. "Yes, please. What do you have?" Yuu asked. "Well, we've got ginger ale, water, sparkling water, mineral water, soda, and orange juice." Mika said ad he listed what they had to drink. "I'll take a glass of ginger ale, please." Yuu said. "Alright." Mika replied before setting his bowl down and heading back into the kitchen. Mrs. Shindo sat down on Yuu's left as she called out to Mika. "Oh, can you also get me a glass of cranberry cocktail juice, please?" she asked. "Yes, Mom." Mika answered as he grabbed for three glasses in the cabinet and he opened the fridge. He took out a bottle of ginger ale and a bottle of cranberry cocktail juice and he closed the fridge shut behind him. Yuu drummed his fingers along the surface of the table as he looked around the house. "You have a nice house, Mrs. Shindo." he commented. "Oh, why thank you." she said. "It's beautifully decorated." his eye then caught on a picture frame on the wall. The picture was taken out at some sort of marina with Mrs. Shindo in a white sundress and a floppy straw hat on her head, a very young Mika in a white and navy blue sailor outfit with a sailor hat on his head, and an older male that resembled Mika wearing a light blue Hawaiian button up shirt and tan khaki shorts. "Um, Mrs. Shindo?" he spoke up. "Yes?" she answered. "Where was that picture taken?" he asked, pointing at the picture frame. "Ah, that was when we went to the Naples Marina in Maine. Mika was three then." she explained. "I see..." Yuu trailed off as he stared at the picture, examining Mika's smiling face. "Gosh, he looks so damn cute!" he thought to himself. He then looked at the older male standing next to Mrs. Shindo. "I wonder...is that Mika's father?" he asked himself. Mrs. Shindo must've read his mind, for she opened her mouth to answer him. "If you are wondering, that is indeed my husband." she said. "Oh...um...if you don't mind me asking, where is Mr. Shindo?" Yuu asked. "Oh, he's- - -" Mrs. Shindo began, but was then cut off. "Dead." Mika set the glasses of ginger ale and cranberry cocktail juice down on the table. "He's dead." he spoke. "Mika, don't say things like tha- - -" Mika cut her off. "But, it's true. He's dead. Well, he's dead to me, at least." Mika pulled open his chair. "The pho is going to get cold. I suggest that we start eating now." he said before sitting down to Yuu's right. Yuu suddenly felt uneasy as Mrs. Shindo said a soft prayer and they began to eat. "I feel like I might've asked something I shouldn't have..." he thought to himself. =============================================================================== Yuu sat on Mika's bed in his room, playing a little with his hair as Mika stepped in with two whip cream spray cans, two small glass bowls, and a large plastic bowl filled with various berries.  "And I have dessert!" Mika declared as he rested the bowl of berries on the bed. "Oooooh, yay." Yuu said as he took a bowl and he began piling some strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries into it. He took the whip cream and he shook the can as Mika spoke. "I'm sorry if the atmosphere downstairs was kind of awkward." he apologized. "Oh no, it was fine." Yuu sprayed some whip cream onto the berries. "Actually, I think I may have overstepped a boundary, so it's my fault." he admitted. "No, it's not your fault. It's just that my mother keeps dwelling in the past and doesn't want to look to the present." Mika said as he dropped a couple of blackberries into his bowl. Yuu popped a whip cream covered strawberry into his mouth as he looked at Mika. "If you don't mind me asking...why do you hate your dad so much to say that he's dead to you? That means he's still alive, right?" Yuu asked before he could stop himself. He then watched Mika's expression twist in annoyance. "Y-You don't have to say anything if you don't want to! I won't force y- - - " Mika cut him off. "It's fine. I'll tell you." Mika shifted a little towards Yuu. "My mother is considered my father's mistress." he stated. Yuu's eyes widened. "What...?" he managed to breath out as the blackberry he held in his hand fell into the whip cream. "My father is a very rich person. He owns an automobile company called Skorry, which is Russian for speedy. They used to be the fastest and most fuel efficient vehicles in Japan and Russia. He was set to marry a wealthy businesswoman from Germany. They were promised to each other by their parents when they were smaller. However, my father had a habit that he couldn't get rid of: he was a playboy. He'd hook up with multiple women all at once and then dump them once he didn't need them anymore." Mika began. "So...your mother was a victim of his playboy antics?" Yuu guessed. Mika nodded. "Sadly, she was. It was about a month before his wedding when he met my mother. He completely hid the fact that he was about to get married and they hooked up. My mother claims that she was the only one that he had been serious about because she was the only one he impregnated. Then I came along." he continued. "So...was he married to the businesswoman and having an affair with your mother at the same time?" Yuu asked. "Yes. And he hid it pretty well, too. My mother had no idea what hit her until I turned three. It was two months after the trip to the Naples Marina. She was taking me shopping in town and she saw him with the businesswoman at a restaurant. They then came out and they were making out in an alley. She called him out and a huge fight ensued. Later that night, my father left and was never to be seen again. Apparently, he said he didn't want to stick around with "a bitch like you" and "that demon of a son" in a letter he left her." Mika snorted. "The man is a bastard for leaving my mother. I wish I never have to see him again." he said, ending his explanation. It was silent between the two of them for a few minutes before Yuu opened his mouth to speak. "Well...at least you have your mother." Yuu picked up a blueberry and he rolled it around in the whip cream. "I have neither." he said. Mika watched Yuu in surprise. "What? But- - -" Yuu cut him off. "I may consider Guren my father, but we're not related by blood." Yuu popped the blueberry into his mouth. "My biological mother committed suicide when I was two because she couldn't stand to look at the face of a demon. About three months after her death, my biological father left me to drown in a river. I was found by the police a few minutes after he dropped me in there and I stayed in an orphanage for a few years. Then, when I turned six, Guren found and adopted me. I have been living with ever since." Yuu explained. "I...I see..." Mika trailed off. "Oh, shoot..." Yuu's hand flew over his mouth. "I'm spouting a whole ton of crap and I'm ruining the atmosphere and- - -" he felt Mika grab for his hand. "Don't say stuff like that." he slowly brought Yuu's hand down. "It's okay. I don't mind at all." he said. He then stared at Yuu examining every feature that stood out to him. His black hair was mostly smoothed down, but it still stuck up in some places, his nose twitched ever so slightly, his cheeks were pink like a rose, his lips had berry juice on them, and his eyes twinkled as he stared at him. Again, the urge to kiss him was overwhelming. "Mika, stop. You don't want to kiss him. You do not swing that way." he told himself. "But you had sex with him already, didn't you? So, what's the hold up? A little kiss won't harm you." he heard a voice pipe up in his head. Kiss him. Don't kiss him. Kiss him. Don't kiss him. Kiss him. Don't kiss him. KISS HIM. DON'T DO IT! KISS. HIM!!! Mika bit his lip as Yuu arched a brow. "Mika?" he questioned. Before Mika could stop himself, he began to slowly inch closer towards Yuu. His hand moved to cup Yuu's cheek, causing Yuu to tense up. "Mi...ka..." he trailed off. He felt Mika's breath ghost over his lips as they heard a voice. "Mika! I'm going to run to the grocery store real quick and grab some stuff! Is there anything you want specifically?" Mika quickly pulled away and he looked over at the bedroom door. "Get two blue and two red Gatorade bottles, please!" he hollered. "Okay! You boys be good while I'm gone, okay?!" "Okay, Mom!" Mika called out as he heard a door close. He made his way over to the window and watched as his mother stepped into a black sedan and the car pulled out of the garage. He closed the curtain and he looked at Yuu. "So, let's move to a different subject." he suggested. Yuu nodded his head slowly as Mika sat back down on the bed and he reached for the can of whip cream. "So, with story #103...that involves food play, doesn't it?" he asked. "Yeah, it does..." Yuu trailed off, recalling that day when Mitsuba had attempted to read that specific story out loud. "How about we try it out? My mom's gone out and she won't be back for a while..." Mika trailed off as he took the two glass bowls and put them on the dresser. He then began to crawl over to him. "M-Mika...!" Yuu began stumbling backwards across the bed. "We can't possibly do this kind of thing in your house!" he exclaimed. His back hit the headboard as Mika spoke. "Why, of course we can. Why can't we?" he shook the bottle of whip cream in his hand. "Or does the issue lie in you not liking food play?" Mika asked. "It...It's not that! It's just- - -" Yuu was cut off by Mika. "Then, there shouldn't be a problem." Mika said before reaching for Yuu's shirt and yanking it up and over his head. "Ah!" Yuu exclaimed as his shirt was thrown off to the side. "You said you were okay with it." Mika took off his shirt and he trapped Yuu on the bed. "So, you can't escape me now." he said. "Mika- - -Eeeek!" Yuu let out a surprised squeak as he felt Mika begin to spray whip cream on his neck. Mika then moved in and he began to lap up at the whip cream. Yuu whimpered as he felt Mika drag his teeth along his skin. "Mmmmm...M-Mika..." he trailed off. Mika ran his tongue along Yuu's collarbone before pulling away. "Now, how about we have some fun?" he asked. Yuu watched as he shook the can and he began spraying a line down from his collarbone towards his nipples. He covered his nipples with the whip cream and he reached for the bowl of berries. "Now, let's see here..." he topped the whip cream covered nipples with strawberries and he added some blueberries along the line of whip cream he created. "Now, that's beautiful." he said. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as Mika leaned back in and he brought a blueberry into his mouth. He licked at the whip cream and he began moving down towards Yuu's left nipple. He took the strawberry into his mouth and he licked at the whip cream before suckling on his nipple. A moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika's tongue swirled around his nipple. His head rolled back into the pillow as Mika moved his head up and licked down the other trail to his other nipple. He repeated the same process and he suckled on his nipple while tweaking the other one with his fingers. "Ah...oh, shit..." Yuu panted out. He felt his jeans grow tighter with each swipe of Mika's tongue. Mika's teeth grazed over his nipple, causing Yuu to buck his hips up into Mika. Mika grinned, feeling the tent of Yuu's pants against his thigh. "Oh, Yuu-chan..." he rolled his eyes up to look at him. "Is this turning you on?" he asked. Yuu panted harshly as he looked down at him. "You..." he trailed off. "Don't worry. I'll make you feel very good." Mika said as he moved down to his jeans. He undid them and pulled them off along with his boxers to reveal his hardened cock. Yuu's erection twitched at the sudden sensation of being let out into the cool air. Mika shook the can, his tongue gliding over his bottom lip. "Now, this is going to be tasty." he said before spraying a dollop of whip cream onto the tip of Yuu's cock. The cold whip cream meeting his hot, pulsing cock made Yuu cry out. He bit down on his lip as Mika began trailing the whip cream down the sides of his cock. He put the can of whip cream off to the side and he began to add blueberries and strawberries to the dollop of whip cream on the tip. "Mmmm, this looks delightful. I think I'm going to dig in right now." Mika said before leaning in and taking a blueberry into his mouth. He ate the berries and then began licking the whip cream off the tip, sucking on it occasionally. A moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika licked down the side, lapping up all the whip cream as he went. He writhed and shook under Mika's touch. Mika dragged a long line along the underside of Yuu's cock with his tongue as another moan was drawn from Yuu's lips. "Mmmmmm, shit. Oh, Mika, that feels so good..." he murmured out. Yuu's hand fisted itself into the sheets as Mika bobbed his head up and down on the head of his cock whilst palming the rest of his length. "Nnnnn...!" Yuu bit down on his lip. "Mika, I..." he breathed out. "Yes?" Mika answered. "I...!" he couldn't form coherent sentences, his thoughts growing all muddled. Mika then moved down towards his sac. He cupped it in his hand and he began to suck lightly. Yuu's back arched, quickly coming undone as white ropes of cum shot out onto Yuu's chest.  Mika arched a brow. "You must be sensitive there, Yuu-chan..." Mika murmured. "You...seriously need to drop the- - -" that was when he saw Mika drop some blueberries onto his chest and he began to lick it up along with his semen. "Wh-What are you doing?! That's gross!" he whined. "But that's what you had written, Yuu-chan." Mika lapped at a string of cum, taking a blueberry into his mouth. "Or was I mistaken?" he asked, a smirk forming at the corners of his lips. Yuu bit his lip. "Damn him...!" he thought to himself as Mika licked at the last of the semen on his chest. He then moved his head down towards his entrance. He pressed his index finger against it lightly. "Do you need me, Yuu-chan?" he asked. Yuu whimpered softly at the touch. "Hm? Do you?" Mika purred tauntingly. "Nnnnnnn...! Mika!" Yuu tried to shoot his best glare at him despite havin Mika's finger make small circles around his entrance. "Stop teasing and just put it in!" he whined. "What do you need, exactly? Do you want me to stick my fingers inside you? Or..." Mika reached down towards his shorts and he pulled them down slowly, revealing his hardened cock. "Could it be that you want something bigger?" he asked. Yuu bit his lip as Mika rid himself of his basketball shorts and he hovered over him. "Well, Yuu-chan? What is it that you want?" Mika spoke with a seductive lilt to his voice as he began to slowly grind his cock against Yuu's. A strangled moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika moved in closer, his breath tickling the shell of Yuu's ear. "Yuu-chan." Yuu froze at the sound of Mika's voice. "I can't please you unless you tell me what it is you want." he said. "Y-Your fingers..." Yuu stared at Mika with half-lidded eyes as Mika ground his cock against Yuu's once again. "I...I need them in me..." he panted out. "Hm? Yuu-chan, I'm not sure if I heard you say please. Do you not have manners, Yuu-chan?" Mika asked as he grazed his teeth along the shell of Yuu's ear. Yuu whimpered. The sensation of Mika's teeth dragging along his ear along with his cock grinding against his own was driving him mad. "Please, Mika...! Please, stick your fingers in me. I need it so bad. Please hurry up." Yuu pleaded. "Ah, I like it when you beg." Mika withdrew from Yuu's ear and he looked at him. "Now, lick." he commanded, bringing his fingers to Yuu's mouth. Yuu took Mika's fingers into his mouth eagerly, sucking and swirling his tongue around them. He moaned softly around them, rolling his eyes up to watch Mika seductively. Mika gritted his teeth before slowly pulling his fingers out of Yuu's mouth and shifting down so that he could line his fingers up with Yuu's entrance. He circled the tip of his middle finger around the puckered hole before slowly pushing his finger in. A moan was drawn from Yuu's lips as Mika continued to push his finger in. "Wow, you're really sucking my finger in. You've got such a greedy hole, Yuu- chan." he purred as he continued to push until Yuu's hole had swallowed Mika's finger up to the knuckle. He slowly pulled out before thrusting back in. "Mmmmmmm..." Yuu opened his mouth to let out small breaths as Mika continued with the excruciatingly slow pace. "Oh, shit..." he muttered out. Mika thrusted his finger back in and wiggled it about for a bit before pushing in a second finger. Another moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika began to scissor inside of him. "Mika...please...faster...! Ah!" he let out a cry as Mika's fingers brushed lightly against his prostate. Mika smirked as he continued, thrusting his fingers continuously into Yuu's prostate. Moans and cries were ripped from Yuu's throat as he writhed under Mika's touch. "Oh! Mika...Mika, that feels so good..." he murmured. "Well," Mika moved his head back in towards Yuu, his breath ghosting over his cheek, "I'm sure you'll feel even more better once I shove my cock deep inside you." he whispered. A moan fell from Yuu's lips. "Hm? You like that, don't you?" Mika thrusted his fingers deep into him. "You like when I talk dirty to you, don't you?" he purred huskily. "Nnnnn! M-Mika...!" Yuu gasped for breath. "Please, Mika, stick it in me. Oh, stick your cock inside of me, please!" he begged. A grin pulled at Mika's lips. "Now that's more like it." he said before pulling his fingers out of Yuu slowly. A small grunt escaped from Yuu at the loss of Mika's fingers inside him. "Well, I don't have any lubricant besides lotion. We can use that if you wan- - -" he then noticed how Yuu was staring at him. "What?" Mika asked. Yuu said nothing before reaching for the bottle of whip cream and shaking it, spraying some into his hand. He then reached out and began to coat Mika's cock with it. Mika watched him, shock evident on his features for a split second before it was replaced with a sly smirk. "Whip cream as lubricant, huh...you really are dirty, aren't you?" Mika guessed. "This WAS in my story, after all. Besides," Yuu ran his finger along the underside of Mika's cock as he leaned in to whisper in his ear, "I like it dirty." he breathed out. Then, Mika felt his heart race. It took him by surprise, as it was the first time the boy made his heart race so fast. He pushed Yuu back down onto the bed and he lined his cock up with his entrance. "You're going to regret tempting me." he said. "Have I swung you the other way, Mika?" Yuu asked with a devious look on his face. "Hm...I wonder." Mika tapped a finger against his chin like he had to think about it a little. "That's a very good question." he said before beginning to push into Yuu's hole. Yuu hissed as Mika pushed past the first ring of muscle. He grabbed for the sheets, balling them up in his fists as Mika continued on. Mika could feel Yuu's walls squeeze around his length as he continued. Yuu moaned, feeling Mika stretching him as Mika's cock was swallowed to the hilt. He tilted his head back into the pillow as Mika stayed still, waiting for  Yuu to adjust to him. "Oh, shit...Mika..." Yuu panted, gazing up at him with half-lidded eyes. "Please...please move...I need it so bad..." he moaned out. Mika nodded before pulling nearly all the way out and then ramming into him. Moans fell from Yuu's lips as Mika thrusted at a slow pace. "Oh, yes...Yes, Mika, yes..." Yuu moaned out. The bed creaked slightly as Mika continued to thrust into him. Mika brought Yuu's leg up and brought it over his shoulder, burying himself deeper into Yuu's hole. "Oh, shit, yes...Mika, you're so fucking- - -Ah!" Mika began to pick up the pace, his thrusts growing faster. Skin slapped against skin noisily as Mika continued. Yuu felt like Mika was ripping him apart. The feeling of Mika's pulsating cock ramming into him and stirring up his insides made him feel like he was about to explode. "More...More, Mika...Please, go a little- - -Oh, shit!" Yuu's back arched off the bed, feeling a sudden shock shoot through his body. "Shit! Mika, hit right there!" he cried out. Mika nodded as he continuously rammed into Yuu's prostate. Cries and moans were drawn from Yuu's lips. Yuu felt like he was going to burst due to the heat pooling inside of him. "Oh, shit...!" more moans fell from Yuu's lips. "Faster! Harder! Ah!" he cried out. Yuu panted harshly as he felt himself getting closer and closer to his climax. "Ah! Mika! I...I'm gonna...!" he choked out. "Cum for me, Yuu-chan." Mika said breathily as he thrusted deeper into him. Yuu came undone seconds later, cum spurting onto his chest. His back arched off as he rode out his climax. He swore his eyes were going to roll into the back of his head as Mika's thrusts grew jerky. Mika's nails dug into the skin of his leg as he quickly pulled out. He stroked himself roughly before cumming, shooting cum all over Yuu's chest. A soft sigh came from Yuu, his emerald green eyes rolling down to watch how Mika's cum mixed with his own. Mika came down from his high and he withdrew his hand from his now soft cock. He then reached for the whip cream can and he shook it. "Mika...are you seriously going to eat whip cream after what just- - -Ah!" a gasp was elicited from Yuu's throat as Mika sprayed some over the streaks of cum. He added blackberries and strawberries on top and he leaned in, licking it all up. Yuu moaned, his hand moving to run his fingers through Mika's hair. Mika lifted his head, his lips coated with whip cream and a blackberry in between his teeth. "This turns you on a lot, doesn't it?" he purred, sucking the blackberry into his mouth and running his tongue along his bottom lip. "Y-You..." Yuu stuttered out as Mika licked up the last of the whip cream and he pulled away. "We should probably clean up. My mom is going to come back just now." Mika said, glancing over at the clock on the wall above his dresser. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he trailed off as he sat up and he followed Mika over to the bathroom. Chapter End Notes Yep, I legit just had them fuck after they shared their tragic backstories to one another. So smooth, you two. SO smooth. ***** I'll Show Him! ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, suggestive content, vibrators (remote controlled), mentions of daddy kink, mentions of overstimulation, YAOI (boyxboy) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys, and welcome back to IASWASB! So, I know it's been forever since I've updated and I do apologize. College is constantly kicking my ass and I have been constantly going to sleep at midnight each and every night since I moved into the dorms last month. So, yeah. We are also almost at the point where the story will take a turn and Mika begins to question his feelings towards Yuu, so please stay tuned for that, which will be coming soon. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D ----------------------------------------- Come bug me on my Tumblr page at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ Yuu sat in class the next morning, jotting down some notes in his English notebook. He would then switch over to his smut binder every once in a while and work more on another one of his stories when the teacher wasn't looking.  He flipped to the page he was last on and he began to write. "Mmmm, Daddy! Do you know how bad I've been, Daddy?" I purred softly, shooting a look over at Mika. "Yes, I know." Mika undid the tie that was around his neck, tugging it down. "You've been so bad that I think you deserve another slap." he said before delivering another smack to my reddened ass cheek. "Ah, shit!" another smack was delivered. "Oh, fuck!" the sting from yet another smack tingled on my skin. "Yes, daddy, give it to me!" I shouted. "Oh, I'll give it to you, alright." Mika undid his jeans and he took them off, whipping out his big cock. "Now, tell me, Yuu-chan," he shifted a little closer towards me, his hand going around the base of my cock, "who's your daddy?" he purred seductively. "You a- - -Ah! Oh, god, yes!" I let out a cry as Mika began to Suddenly, Yuu felt himself jolt, a weird sensation shooting throughout his body. He twitched, nearly banging his knee against the desk. He could tell that Kimizuki was eyeing him curiously, but all Yuu could think about was making sure a sound did not escape. He bit down on his bottom lip hard, drawing blood as he felt his insides being stirred about. "Dammit...he chose NOW to switch it on?!" he asked himself as he thought back to what has transpired earlier this morning. =============================================================================== "What are we doing now?" Yuu asked, staring at Mika as he locked the bathroom stall door behind them. Mika unzipped his backpack and he pulled out a white box. "Open it." he said. "Um...okay?" Yuu answered uncertainly as he opened the box and reached inside. He then pulled out a white egg vibrator, his jaw slowly falling to the floor. "What the...?! A vibrator?!" he looked at Mika. "It couldn't be..." he trailed off. "Yes, it is. We are going to do story #47, the one where you have to sit through the whole school day with that vibrator shoved up your ass. I can control it at will with this remote right here." Mika waved a small, white remote around in his hand. "I can turn it on, change the speed, or even shut it off completely. Thing is, you won't know when I choose to do it." he explained. "Wouldn't you get caught at some point, though?" Yuu asked. Mika shrugged. "Eh, it'll be fine." he said. He ran his finger along the buttons on the remote. "Besides, I think it'll be fun to mess around with you during classes." he said, pressing the on button on the remote. It began to vibrate in Yuu's hands, causing Yuu to nearly drop the vibrator in shock. He managed to keep a firm grip on it as he looked at Mika. "So...if I can survive the day without touching myself, then I get my reward, right?" Yuu asked. "Why, of course. I'm not going to deny you anything if you survive. But, if you don't, then it'll be kept inside of you until tomorrow morning." Mika watched how Yuu was staring at the vibrator. "But, don't worry. You can take it out when you need to go to the restroom. Just make sure you put it back in once you are done." Mika explained. "Mika..." Yuu looked back up at Mika. "Just how the hell did you manage to get a vibrator?" he asked. "Ferid dragged me to an adult shop with one of his friends and I decided to buy one. I figured it would come up eventually." Mika explained. "But...how could you have bought it?! You're underage!" Yuu squeaked out. "And you'd skip over asking me how Ferid and I were able to get in in the first place..." Mika ran his fingers through his hair. "Ferid's friend bought the stuff. Do yo know Lacus Welt?" Mika asked. Yuu's eyes widened. "Wait...is he currently dating a girl named Tomoe Saotome?" Yuu asked. "I believe so, yeah." Mika replied. "I knew it...Lacus is my friend Yoichi's sister's boyfriend." Yuu stated. "Well, this world sure is small." Mika commented. He then pressed the on button, making the vibrator vibrate in Yuu's hands once again. "Put it in." he said. Yuu began to open his mouth, but Mika immediately cut him off. "And no, I don't plan on moving from here. You're going to stick it in with me watching." Mika said. "What?! But, that's just embarrassing!" Yuu whined. "Says the one that shamelessly lathered my cock with whip cream last night without a care in the world." Mika remarked, shutting Yuu up. Yuu pouted. "Fine..." he grumbled before reaching for the black ripped skinny jeans that he had on. He pulled those down along with his boxers to reveal his cock. He turned, resting his hands on the toilet cover to steady himself. He reached behind and tugged his red American Eagle shirt up his back, giving Mika a perfect view of his ass. "Come on. Stick it in." Mika said. Yuu bit his lip before moving one hand to spread his ass cheeks apart and bringing the vibrator over his entrance with the other hand. Before he could stick it in, Mika switched the vibrator on to medium speed. "Shit...!" a loud gasp fell from Yuu's lips as the vibrations rippled through his body. His body jolted a little at the sensation, nearly tipping over and falling onto the toilet. "Come on, Yuu-chan." Mika called in a deep voice. The deepness of Mika's voice made Yuu swallow. With trembling fingers, he began to push the vibrator into his hole slowly. A burning sensation blossomed inside of him, making him grit his teeth. "Shit...how does he expect me to put this in me when it keeps fricking vibrating?!" he asked himself. Mika lowered the speed on the vibrator as Yuu continued to push it further inside of him. After a couple of minutes, the vibrator was perfectly secure inside of him. "There, that looks good. Pull your pants up. Class is going to start soon." Mika said. Yuu nodded before standing back upright and pulling his pants up. The vibrator was nudged slightly, the vibrations hitting him from a different angle. Yuu bit his lip as he slowly zipped up his jeans and buttoned them up. Mika then switched the vibrator off, causing Yuu to breathe out a sigh of relief. "I'm switching it off for now. I will be switching it back on eventually, though." Mika said. "Yes, I know." Yuu answered. He picked up his backpack and swung it over his shoulder as he reached for the door. As he turned the knob to unlock the stall door, Mika stopped him. "After school, meet me in the locker room." he said. Yuu nodded his head slowly. "Yeah..." he trailed off as he unlocked the door and stepped out. He made his way across the restroom to the door. As he was about to push it open, he felt the vibrator inside him begin to vibrate at high speed. "Fuck!" he exclaimed as his legs gave way and he slumped down onto the floor. He then heard a chuckle coming from the bathroom stall he was just in. He whipped his head around to see Mika poke his head out, a sly smirk spread across his lips. "Whoops. My finger slipped." he said. Yuu glared at him. "Yeah, right!" he thought to himself. He managed to stand up (with a little bit of difficulty, of course) and he slipped out of the bathroom. The vibrations slowed and as Yuu got ready to head to his class, he could hear Mika laughing hysterically from inside the restroom. =============================================================================== "Why the hell was he even laughing?! That smug ass, I will catch him by surprise one day...!" he thought to himself. The vibrator turned off, making Yuu let out an inaudible sigh of relief. "Thank god he switched that fucking thing off..." he thought to himself. "Okay, so we are now going to take a look at Beowulf. Flip to page 420 in your textbook." his instructor said. Yuu reached for his textbook and he flipped to page 420, where the beginning of Beowulf was. He began to read through it a little, not waiting to listen to the instructor read for the class.  He then flipped the page as Kimizumi began to read a couple of paragraphs for the text. "Jeez, I thought Beowulf would be more interesting...what a bore." he thought to himself. He then switched back to his smut binder without the instructor noticing and he continued to write. "You a- - -Ah! Oh, god, yes!" I let out a cry as Mika began to slowly stroke my cock. His hand moved up and down my hardened length in agonizingly slow motions. "Mmmmm..." I hummed out, my head rolling back into the pillow. "You look very content." Mika commented. I panted as I looked at him. "Can't you go faster...?" I asked. "Hm? Is that how you ask for things from your daddy?" Mika squeezed at the base of my cock, causing me to hiss. "N-No, daddy." I answered. "Then, tell me how you're supposed to address me." Mika commanded. "Pl...Please go faster, daddy. I really want it, daddy." I begged, hoping that would make him go faster. "You look so cute when you use your manners, Yuu-chan. I think I might as well give you a reward." he said, his hand releasing its hold on my cock. I whined at the loss of his hand, but then let out a loud moan as Mika moved in to At that moment, Yuu felt the vibrator vibrate at maximum speed. "Ah!" he couldn't hold back a gasp as he suddenly shot up from his desk. Kimizuki could only face palm as the instructor spoke. "Yuu, are you willing to read the next paragraph?" they asked. Yuu's cheeks instantly flushed a bright red in embarrassment once he realized what exactly was going on. Some kids began to whisper amongst each other and laugh as Yuu spoke. "I..." Yuu bit his lip. "I need to use the restroom! Excuse me!" he shouted as he made a beeline for the door. Once he was out in the hall, he quickly whipped out his phone and sent out a text to Mika. [09:45:10 am] I can't do this anymore!!! Almost instantly, a reply was sent back to him. [09:45:23 am] giving up already? ;) Yuu could imagine the smug smirk that had begun to spread across his lips. "Dammit...I'm not going to lose to him!" he thought to himself as he quickly typed out a reply. [09:51:11 am] Not over my dead body. =============================================================================== Yoichi could only look at Yuu with concern as they ate lunch later that day. "Yuu? Are you okay?" he asked. "Hm?" Yuu said in between mouthfuls of strawberry Jell-O. "You keep fidgeting about." Yoichi commented. "Yeah, I noticed that, too." Shinoa noted. "Oh, you should've seen him during English class this morning. He suddenly jumped out of his seat while we were reading Beowulf and he dashed off to the restroom. That was a sight to see." Kimizuki commented. "For real?!" Mitsuba exclaimed. Yuu glared at Kimizuki. "Do you ever know how to shut up?" he asked. "Ooooh, little cherry boy's getting feisty." Shinoa teased. "Shut up!" Yuu complained. He continued to eat from his Jell-O as Yoichi tried to get the other three to stop pestering Yuu. He couldn't help but glance over at the table where Mika was. Ferid and Crowley were laughing about something while Mika's attention was focused on Krul as he tapped on a piece of paper with a pencil. "Krul and Mika are always so close to one another...it keeps bugging me..." he thought to himself. He then saw Mika's head slowly raise and their eyes locked. They maintained eye contact for a couple of seconds before Mika sent a smirk in his direction. Yuu's cheeks flushed as he quickly looked away. "Dammit, why does his smirk do that to me?! Every time I see it, I feel like my heart might just stop!" he thought to himself as he finished his Jell-O. He reached for his bottle of Brisk Iced Tea and he uncapped it, taking a sip from it. As he did, he felt the vibrator switch on to medium speed. He choked, startling Yoichi and the others. "Whoa, Yuu!" Mitsuba exclaimed. Yuu began to cough as Yoichi spoke. "Yuu!" he began to pat Yuu's back. "Are you okay? What happened?" he asked. "I-I'm fine...I just choked on my drink a little..." Yuu trailed off. "Do you need some water?" Yoichi quickly reached for his bottle of water and he uncapped it. "Here, drink some of mine." he offered. Yuu nodded as he took the bottle of water from Yoichi. As he brought the bottle to his lips, he felt the vibrator speed go up to maximum speed. He coughed, the bottle nearly falling onto his lap. "Whoa!" Yoichi exclaimed as he caught the bottle in his hands.  "I...I think I'm gonna just go to the bathroom instead!" Yuu declared as he stood up from his seat. "Are you sure?" Yoichi asked. "Yeah, I'm sure..." Yuu replied as he turned as began to make his way across the cafeteria. He quickly slipped out and he made his way into the hall. As he walked down the empty hall, the vibrator shifted a little and it nudged his prostrate lightly. "Nnnnnn!" he bit his lip as his legs began to shake. His knees gave way and he slumped down onto the floor as he heard a voice. "Oh, Yuu-chan. Are you planning on giving up already?" Yuu gritted his teeth as he turned his head to glare at Mika. "Who do you think is the one messing around with the damn vibrator?!" he hissed out. "Well, you're the one that rose to the challenge." Mika shot back. Yuu could only glare at Mika as the blond shot him that sly smirk. "All...All I needed to do was use the bathroom..." Yuu trailed off as he managed to stand up slowly. "You're not going to pull anything in there, are you?" Mika asked. "Wh-Why the hell would you think that?!" Yuu snapped. "Just checking." Mika turned on his heel. "Well, I'll see you after school." he said before walking off. Yuu snarled as he watched Mika disappear back into the cafeteria. "Oh, I'll show that bastard! I'll show him that I can last with a vibrating vibrator stuck up my ass for the rest of the day!" he thought to himself. =============================================================================== Yuu made his way down the hall after school had ended. "He kept it on low speed all throughout the rest of the day...just what is it that he's planning?" he asked himself. He bit his lip, recalling how he had to keep excusing himself from class to go to the bathroom because he either had an orgasm or because Mika suddenly switched it on to the highest speed. He turned the corner and made his way into the locker room. "So, what do I do now? Just wait until he comes in?" he asked himself. He closed the door behind him and he made his way over to one of the small benches in the locker room. He sat down by the one closest to Mika's locker. He sighed, rolling his head up to the ceiling. "Ugh...just what am I doing to myself...?" he ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm letting him play with me like this...is that even considered healthy?" he asked himself. He then noticed that Mika's locker was opened a little. "Hm? Did Mika forget to close his locker or something?" he asked himself. He stood up and made his way over to the locker. As he was about to close it, his hand brushed against Mika's shirt. He glanced down at the shirt. "I wonder..." he thought to himself as he pulled the shirt out. He then brought it to his nose. Almost instantly, the familiar scent of Mika enveloped him. "Dammit...it smells so good..." he muttered into the fabric. He then felt his pants begin to tighten as he continued to inhale Mika's scent from the shirt. "Holy shit! Did I...?!" he wasn't able to complete that thought when he heard a voice. "Are you seriously smelling my shirt?" Yuu yelped, the shirt slipping out of his hands and he quickly whirled around to see Mika standing a few feet away with a hand on his hip and a smirk spread across his lips. "M-Mika!" he exclaimed. "Ah, I see." Yuu watched as Mika made his way over to him. "Do you happen to have a scent fetish, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Th-That's not it! I...I don't have a scent fetish!" Yuu exclaimed. "Oh? I'm not sure if I should believe you or not." Mika stated as he trapped Yuu, resting his hand on the locker door and closing it. Yuu swallowed, noting how close they were to one another. "Shit. He is pretty close." he thought to himself. That was when Mika began to slowly move in. Yuu quickly squeezed his eyes shut. "What is it that he's going to do?!" he asked himself. He then felt Mika's breath linger on his cheek. "Come." he whispered. Before Yuu could react, Mika's hand was around his wrist and he was being yanked across the locker room towards the showers. "Wha...?! Mika!" they stepped into one of the showers. "Why are we coming in here?!" Yuu asked. "To give us a little bit of privacy, of course." Mika closed the curtain. "Now, turn on the water." he said. Yuu didn't respond as he reached for the handle and he turned it up, warm water spewing from the showerhead.  "So," Mika reached for his shirt, "did you manage to survive the whole day without touching yourself?" he asked. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as Mika rid himself of his shirt, revealing his chest. He slowly nodded his head, rendered speechless by Mika being half naked. "That's good. Now, I think it's about time I reward you for being such a good boy, Yuu-chan." Mika said. Yuu stepped backwards until the both of them were under the stream of water. Yuu's back hit the wall and his eyes squeezed shut as Mika dipped his head down and his mouth latched onto his neck. =============================================================================== "Ah...Haaa, haaa, haaa...!" Yuu's head rolled back into the wall as he watched a now naked Mika nestled in between his legs, pumping quickly at his erection whilst licking at the water droplets rolling down Yuu's skin. His tongue dipped into Yuu's belly button, causing hin to laugh. "D-Don't do that!" Yuu whined. "Why? It seems like you like it very much, though." Mika pointed out. "It...It tickles, though!" Yuu whined. He then let out a hum as Mika stroked him faster. Mika's lips ghosted over his skin, causing Yuu to shudder. Oh, fuck...Mika, I'm going to cum...!" he breathed out. Mika moved in to catch a nipple in between his teeth, tugging on it while he pumped his cock faster. "Ah!" Yuu let out a gasp as cum shot out, coating his chest and Mika's hand. Yuu panted as he came down from his short-lived high. He watched as Mika released his nipple, rolling his eyes up to stare at him. "Look at you, getting yourself all dirty when you're in the shower...isn't the shower meant for cleaning yourself?" Mika asked. His teeth grazed along Yuu's collarbone as his hand ventured down to Yuu's entrance, where the vibrator still was. He moved up to lick at Yuu's ear as he pulled the vibrator out of him. A moan fell from Yuu's lips, the sound revebrating across the room as Mika panted onto his ear. "Your hole must be very stretched out from having that vibrator in you all day." he chucked the vibrator over by the pile of damp clothes that they had discarded earlier on. "Maybe my cock will be able to slide into you just fine without any problems." Mika said. He tugged on Yuu's earlobe lightly before pulling away. He moved back a little and he grabbed for the bottle of body wash. "Get up. I'm going to stick it in you." he said. Yuu slowly stood up as he watched Mika lather his erect cock with the body wash. "Body wash as lubricant..." Yuu narrowed his eyes at him. "I highly doubt you can even use that as lube." he pointed out. "Hey, I never questioned you when you use whipped cream as lube." Mika shot back. Yuu bit his lip, not having a comeback to that as Mika's arms went under Yuu's legs and he hoisted him up. Yuu's legs wrapped around Mika's waist on instinct as Mika lined his cock up with Yuu's entrance. "Are you ready for your reward, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Yes..." Yuu ran his fingers through Mika's damp hair as he stared at him. "Yes, I'm ready. Please fuck me." he purred. Mika felt something stir inside of him. The way Yuu stared at him with his lips pursed and his cheeks flushed red made his cock twitch. His grip tightened on Yuu's waist as he quickly filled Yuu up with one thrust. "Ahhh!" a loud cry was torn from Yuu's lips as his arms went around Mika's neck.  Mika gritted his teeth as he felt Yuu's walls clench around his length. He was so tight and warmt that it made him nearly cum right then and there. He slowly pulled out and then slammed back in, earning more moans from Yuu. Mika pressed Yuu against the wall as he slowly thrusted into the tight heat. Moans fell from Yuu's lips, his back slightly arching every once in a while.. Mika buried his face into the crook of Yuu's neck, feeling how Yuu's throat rumbled with a moan as he continued to thrust into him. "Mi...ka...Ah! Faster...!" Yuu choked out. Mika practically snarled as he snapped his hips into Yuu's, drilling deeper and deeper into him. He then slammed into Yuu's prostate, causing Yuu to let out a loud scream that could've been heard from the far end of the locker room. "Fuck! Yes, hit me there! Hit it harder- - -Shit!" Yuu began to ramble as Mika continued to nail his prostate. His nails began to dig into Mika's skin, causing Mika to bite down on his lip. Tears welled up in Yuu's eyes as he began to see stars. "Oh, shit, Mika...please, Mika! Fuck me harder, fuck me faster. I- - -" he was then cut off by the sound of a door opening and the loud sound of laughter entering the locker room. Mika whipped his head over in the direction of the sound. "Shit...I really thought we'd be done by the time they came in..." Mika murmured. He then turned to look at Yuu. "Yuu-cha- - -" he then stopped, noticing how Yuu was harder than before. "Hm? Could it be that the situation is turning you on even more?" he asked. "What?!" Yuu was red like a tomato. "Th-That's not i- - -" Mika pressed a finger to his lips as someone stepped into the shower stall next to them on their left. Yuu's eyes were wide in horror as the shower to their left turned on. Before he could suggest that they stop, Mika resumed thrusting into him. A small gasp escaped Yuu's lips before he could stop it. A hand flew over his mouth as he shot his best glare at Mika. The blond smirked as he leaned in towards Yuu. "Well, this just keeps getting more and more interesting...let's see how you react as I continue to thrust into you with somebody close by." Mika whispered against Yuu's chin before resuming his merciless thrusts. Yuu balled his hand a fist, bringing it to his mouth in an attempt to stifle his moans. His body shook due to the overstimulation as he got closer and closer to his climax. "Mika, I...I'm going to cum..." he choked out. "Okay. I'll help you find release, then." Mika then nodded at Yuu's erection, which was bobbing around due to Mika's thrusts. "Touch yourself. I want to see you cum as you stroke yourself." he whispered lowly. A tiny whimper escaped Yuu's lips as his hand shakily moved down to touch his cock. His hand wrapped itself around the base and he pumped his length slowly. It soon turned into quick strokes as Yuu got even closer to his climax. "Mika...!" Yuu whispered out. Mika growled as he moved in and he bit at the junction where Yuu's neck and shoulder met. Yuu's mouth fell open in a silent moan as his climax hit him. Ropes of cum shot out, coating both of their chests and Yuu's hand. His head rolled forward onto Mika's shoulder as Mika continued, his thrusts growing more jerky. He then grunted, spilling his load into Yuu.  Yuu panted harshly, listening to the person in the stall next to them turning off the shower and stepping out. "Fuck..." Yuu panted out. "Wow, Yuu-chan." Yuu slowly rose his head so that he was staring at Mika. "You came quite a bit. Were you really that turned on?" he asked. "What?! I- - -" Mika cut him off. "It was the thrill of doing it in a place where people might find us, wasn't it? Having me f your hole with one of the guys right next to us, the thrill of wondering if we might get caught...you seem to be quite the exhibitionist." Mika commented. Yuu swallowed as Mika slowly pulled out of him and he brought Yuu back down. Some cum trickled down Yuu's thigh as Mika spoke. "Now, how about we both clean up?" Mika suggested. Yuu nodded his head slowly. "Yeah..." he trailed off as Mika reached out and pulled him under the stream of water. ***** I Want Your Bite ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, YAOI (boyxboy), costume play, usage of bondage and whips Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I'm back with another chapter of IASWASB! So, I do apologize for updating so late; life has been crazy recently (and now I can only binge anime on the weekends TT_TT). But, I'll make sure to stay on top of things and upload more often (instead of once a month). So, this chapter is what I would like to call a "Halloween BDSM chapter" because I am attempting to write BDSM in this chapter and well...let's just say that I tried XD (To be honest, I wasn't sure where I was going with this chapter at this point) I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D *By the way, here is the list of the costumes everyone is wearing: •Shinoa-Witch •Yoichi-Robin Hood •Kimizuki-Tsukishima Kei from Haikyuu!! •Mitsuba-Victorian Steampunk Chick •Tomoe-Cheshire Cat •Lacus-Devil •Mika-Vampire Uniform from ONS (Vampire) •Yuu-Werewolf (he ended up being a werewolf after I held a poll on Mikayuu Amino) •Crowley-Vampire Uniform from ONS (Vampire) •Ferid-Vampire Uniform from ONS (Vampire) See the end of the chapter for more notes Shinoa stepped out of the bedroom dressed up in her witch costume, which consisted of a black v-neck dress with a black tulle ruffle skirt, black mesh sleeves with black velvet patterns on it, a large buckle belt, black gloves, and three inch black pumps. She had a sparkly witch hat hairband atop her head, which was pulled into a high ponytail with some strands framing her face.  "Oi, Yoichi! Can you nab your sister for me?!" she called out. Yoichi poked his head out of the room, tugging on the sleeve of his black Robin Hood costume. "Okay!" he replied as he dashed down the hall, the hood of his costume flying off his head. Shinoa sighed as she played a little with her hair. She then heard footsteps coming from behind her. She turned to glance at Kimizuki. "Someone seems like they're ready to play." she commented, observing Kimizuki in his Tsukishima Kei cosplay outfit. Kimizuki tugged on his hair, which he had hairsprayed blond, as he sighed. "I can't believe Mitsuba thought this was a good idea..." he mumbled. "Well, you do resemble him quite a bit." Shinoa commented as Yoichi came down the hall with Tomoe, Lacus, and Mitsuba following from behind. "I found my sister!" Yoichi declared. "Do you need help with your makeup, Shinoa?" Tomoe asked. "Yeah. I'm not really used to doing costume makeup design." Shinoa said. "Okay. I think I've got something that'll be absolutely perfect." Tomoe said as she winked. She then looked at Yoichi and Kimizuki. "You two should go help out Yuu! He's handing out candy to the kids that come by. Lacus and I'll stay up here." Tomoe explained. Yoichi looked like he wanted to protest, but he kept his mouth shut as he made his way down the hall with Kimizuki following from behind. As soon as they began to head down the stairs, Yoichi grimaced. "God, I hate seeing those two together..." he mumbled. "Yes, I know. You complain about it all the freaking time." Kimizuki stated sarcastically. "Geez, you even sound salty like Tsukishima." Yoichi teased, causing Kimizuki to snort. "Yeah, I'm definitely like him." Kimizuki stated. They reached the bottom of the stairs as Kimizuki continued to speak. "But, seriously. Why don't you just bring it up with her? Maybe she'll understand if you two have a nice, long talk about it." Kimizuki suggested. Yoichi breathed out a sigh. "Why do I feel like I had this conversation with Yuu already...?" he muttered as they spotted Yuu by the door, handing a couple of kids dressed up at Hulk and Thor some candy. "Well, it seems like someone's busy." Kimizuki commented. Yuu quickly whirled around to look at them. "Thank god you two finally got over here! I swear, there are too many kids in this goddamn neighborhood..." Yuu muttered, adjusting the shirt he wore for his werewolf costume. "Well, as long as you're helping." Kimizuki commented. "Wow! Tomoe did a really good job on your makeup!" Yoichi gushed, darting over to Yuu and examining his face. "W-Well...I kinda needed to look like a werewolf, you know..." he trailed off. "It looks good." Kimizuki said as the doorbell rang yet again. "Ugh, more kids?!" Yuu whined as he swung open the door. What he saw before him shocked him. Mika stood before him in a black and white long sleeve coat with gold accents on it with a white cape over it, white pants, and black thigh high boots. There was a sword at his hip and his teeth were bared slightly to show off a pair of vampire teeth. He also had on ruby red eye contacts. "Mi...Mika?!" Yuu squeaked out. "Yuu-chan...what exactly are you doing here?" Mika asked. "U-Um...I...I'm helping a friend with the candy distribution." Yuu stated. "Are you now..." Mika muttered as Yoichi came into view. "Yuu! Can you get me the orange bucket that has all the chocolate in it?! I think I need to replenish i- - -" Yoichi then noticed Mika. "Holy shit, is that Mika?!" he exclaimed. "It is indeed him." Yuu said. Yuu swore he saw the expression on Mika's face twist into one of annoyance, but before he could question it, it was quickly replaced with his signature smile. "Good evening and happy Halloween." he greeted. "Good evening!" Yoichi chirped. "So, what exactly brings you to the neighborhood?" Kimizuki asked, his arms crossed over his chest. "Lacus told us to come by." Mika explained. "You know Lacus?" Yoichi questioned in surprise. "Yeah. As a matter of fact," Mika nodded his head over to Ferid and Crowley, who were both dressed up in outfits similar to Mika's, "those two are Lacus' really close friends." he explained. "Geez, this world is small!" Yoichi exclaimed as they heard voices coming from the staircase. "Okay, makeup's finally done!" Shinoa declared. "Now that that's settled, we can finally go out and get some candy!" Mitsuba then spotted Mika standing in the doorway. "Oh, and speaking of candy..." she trailed off. Mika arched a brow as Mitsuba reached the bottom of the stairs. "Oh, Yuu! I didn't realize that you already got yourself some- - -" Yuu cut her off. "If you're going to say what I think you were getting ready to say, then I suggest you stop right there." Yuu deadpanned. "Ugh, you're no fun!" Mitsuba whined. "Well, I don't want you saying such things out loud!" Yuu snapped. Yoichi laughed nervously. "Now, now..." he trailed off, hoping to break up the small squabble between Yuu and Mitsuba. Mika observed Yoichi as he tried to calm Yuu and Mitsuba down. He had noticed during their lunch period (or any time Yuu and his friends got together) that Yoichi would try and defend Yuu no matter what Shinoa, Kimizuki, and Mitsuba said to Yuu. For some reason, it bothered him. "I'm not jealous, am I?" Mika quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. There's no way that you'd be jealous of something this little. Besides, it's not like you're dating Yuu or anything." he told himself. "Oh? What do we have here?" Lacus asked, joining the group as he shot a look at Mika, Ferid, and Crowley. "Hey, Lacus!" Ferid greeted. "Yo! So, you guys going trick or treating?" Lacus asked. "We are, yeah." Crowley replied. "I heard that this neighborhood has the best candy and a haunted maze set up..." Ferid said. "Well, I'm not sure about the candy, but we do have a pretty cool haunted maze! The house behind us is the one that usually does it. Apparently, the couple that lives there are makeup designers for horror movies, so their stuff is super realistic and gory." Yoichi explained. "Now that's what I like." Crowley said. "So, Mika." Shinoa eyed Mika up and down. "What exactly are you?" she asked. "A vampire." Mika replied. "A vampire?!" Mitsuba exclaimed. "I wouldn't have guessed with the kind of clothes you have on." Shinoa commented. "Maybe that's the trend for modern vampires!" Mitsuba suggested. "Okay, now that just sounds plain stupid." Kimizuki deadpanned. "Don't be such a downer, Tsukki!" Mitsuba teased. "Stop calling me Tsukki!" Kimizuki barked as Yuu spoke. "I mean...I guess you can kind of tell he's a vampire. His eye contacts are red and you could see his teeth poking out." Yuu stated. "You've got some pretty sharp eyes, kid." Crowley commented. "Kid...?" Yuu murmured out as Mitsuba spoke. "So! Mika, are you out for blood tonight?" she asked. "Maybe I am. A vampire is always thirsty, you know." Mika replied. As he said that, he shot a sly smirk in Yuu's direction. He then winked, causing Yuu to blush. "W-Well! Should we get going? I mean, I'm sure we all want some candy, don't we?" Yuu asked. "I agree. Let's go." Kimizuki said as they stepped out of the house. "Have fun, you guys! Lacus and I will stay here and distribute candy." Tomoe said. Yoichi narrowed his eyes at her, obviously not liking that idea. But, he kept his mouth shut as he turned to face the others. "Alright, let's go!" he said as they began to walk away from the house and head down the sidewalk. =============================================================================== "Trick or treat!"  "Oh my!" the elderly woman that lived at the house they were trick or treating at. "Your costumes look great!" she said. "Thank you, Ma'am!" Yoichi chirped as the elderly woman dropped three pieces of chocolate candy into their buckets. "Now, you kids have a good night." she said. "Thanks, you too!" Mitsuba said as they walked away from the house and they continued down the sidewalk. Mika stayed a little behind, watching everyone as they conversed in their respective groups. His eyes then drifted over to Yuu, who was chatting animatedly with Yoichi. He frowned, watching how Yuu laughed at something Yoichi had said. "Why does he never show that kind of expression around me? All he does is blush like a giddy schoolgirl, complain like a fussy child, and moan like a slut each time I touch him. How come he can't make those kinds of faces when he's around me?" he asked himself. "You jealous, Mika?"  "What?" Mika looked to his left to see that Shinoa was walking next to him. She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at him. "Don't lie. I see the way you've been looking at him since we started trick or treating." she looked over at Yuu and Yoichi. "The thought of Yuu being all friendly with someone else bothers you." she said. Mika snorted. "Don't be ridiculous. I don't swing that way." he said. "Oh? Then explain this to me: I was running some papers for Mr. Ichinose after school and I saw you and Yuu in detention in quite a compromising position. And by compromising, I mean you trapping him against the window with his legs wrapped around your torso and your mouth on his neck." she narrowed her eyes at him. "And you say that you don't swing that way?" she asked. "Why are you trying so hard to pry into his business? It's his business and his business only. What is it to you?" Mika asked. "I am his friend and I want to make sure that he isn't getting himself into a situation that he can't exactly back out of. So, I do hope you realize what it is that you're doing before you ultimately screw up." she said, quickly ending the conversation and making her way over to Kimizuki. Mika watched Shinoa as she conversed with Kimizuki, her hands wrapping around his arm. "Just what is it to her? I mean, if Yuu gets too entangled in whatever the hell this is supposed to be, then it's entirely his problem." he thought to himself as they stopped in front of a house. "And here we are! This is the house that does the haunted maze every year." Yoichi explained. "Sounds legit. Let's do it." Crowley said. "Alright! So, we're going to enter from the side gate, which is the beginning of the maze. We have to maneuver through it in order to get our candy." Yoichi explained. "Cool." Ferid said. "Well?! What are we all waiting on?! Let's go get us some candy!" Mitsuba declared. =============================================================================== Yuu began to feel uneasy as he tried to keep up with Yoichi. "Y-Yoichi?" he called out. "Yeah?" Yoichi answered. "Are we there yet?" he asked. "Not quite yet." Yoichi replied. Yuu heard loud cackling coming from somewhere within the dark maze as he spoke. "Well...do you happen to know any shortcuts? You should know this haunted maze well enough in order to discover a shortcut or two." Yuu suggested. "Unfortunately, I don't know of any shortcuts. They change this maze up every year, so the route is different every time." Yoichi explained. "I see..." Yuu trailed off, fidgeting a little as a red light began to shine out of the corner of his eye. "What the...?!" before Yuu could say anything else, a person dressed up as a bloody clown leapt out at him. "Holy fuck!" Yuu screamed, stumbling backwards into Yoichi. "Jesus Christ, Yuu! You scared m- - -" he then stopped, seeing the clown that had leapt out.  The clown played with the blade in its hand as it spoke. "I'm going to kill you!" it said, a high pitched cakle following after his statement as Yuu screamed. "Fuck! Run!" he screamed as he grabbed for Yoichi and they began to run. Maniacal laughter reached Yuu's ears as they ran. "Geez, Yuu! It's just a clown!" Yoichi pointed out. "Well, that clown is a scary motherfucker!" Yuu exclaimed. A jack-in-the-box suddenly popped open, making Yuu jolt as he dashed past Yoichi. "Oi! Yuu! Don't just run off like that!" Yoichi called out. However, Yuu didn't hear him as he continued to run. "Oh my god, somebody just get me out of here already!" he thought to himself.. He then felt a hand fly over his mouth. A muffled scream escaped his lips, his heart rapidly racing as one thought filled his mind. "Holy fuck, the clown is going to murder me!" he thought to himself. "Keep it down. Do you really want to get caught?" Yuu relaxed when he heard a familiar voice. He rolled his eyes up to stare into Mika's red eyes. "Mika..." he trailed off. "I think I found a shortcut." his hand moved down to his hand. "Come with me." he said. "Ah!" Yuu exclaimed as Mika pulled him along. As they walked, Yuu's heart began to race. While Mika had a tight grip on his hand, it was also quite relaxing and it made him feel a little more safe. He moved a little forward until he was nearly walking side by side with him. They emerged from the maze a few minutes later and the couple who had created the maze gave them both large chocolate bars. Yuu ripped open his Snickers bar as he spoke. "Wow, it seems like we're the only one that managed to make it out." he then watched Mika, who had pulled his phone out of his candy bucket. "Mika, aren't we going to wait for the others?" he asked. "No." Mika replied almost immediately. "Wait, what?" Yuu asked. "I said that we're not waiting. I'm calling an Uber over here." Mika said. "An Uber?" Yuu stared at Mika in surprise. "But why aren't we waiting for them? Shouldn't we at least wait on them before we go back to Yoichi's house?" Yuu asked. "We're not going back there." Mika said. "Then...where are we going?" Yuu asked. Mika looked at him and Yuu swore he saw lust sparkling in his eyes. "Back to my place." the Uber pulled up by the curb. "I'm going to show you what happens when a vampire gets really thirsty." he said. =============================================================================== All Yuu could see was darkness. He wanted to wriggle out of the bonds Mika had placed him once they got back to his place because he really wanted to peel off his blindfold. But, he knew that Mika had a whip waiting for him on the bed in case he misbehaved. "Oh, Yuu-chan..." Yuu could feel Mika's teeth graze along his skin. "How does it feel to be plunged in complete darkness?" he asked. "I don't know. It...It feels strange..." Yuu jolted as Mika pinched his exposed nipple. "Mika, are you sure your mother isn't going to catch us?" he asked. "Why are you so worried about my mom? Besides, she's at work. She won't be home for a little while." Mika explained. "I...I see- - -Ah...!" a loud moan was drawn from Yuu's lips as Mika attacked his neck, suckling on the skin. "Nnnnnn...!" Yuu felt like his skin was on fire as Mika's lips ghosted over his skin. He rolled his hips up, another moan falling from his lips. "M...Mika...!" he choked out. "Hm? Yuu-chan, I don't think I said you could do that." he then felt something hit his side. He choked out a cry. "Did...Did he just hit me?!" he asked himself. "You know I'll whip you if you continue to misbehave." Mika spoke teasingly. Yuu swallowed. "Mika- - -Ah!" another moan was ripped from his lips as he felt the whip hit his hardened nipples. "Nnnngh, shit..." Yuu murmured. "Wow, Yuu-chan. It seems like this kind of stuff turns you on." Mika commented. "Mika...when will you...take off the blindfold...?" Yuu asked. "Whenever I feel like it." Mika answered. Yuu got ready to say something else when Mika's lips encircled one of his nipples. "Oh god!" Yuu's body twitched as Mika licked and nibbled on his nipple. He writhed under Mika's touch, feeling how Mika's hand moved to tweak with his other nipple. "Mika..." he moaned, feeling Mika's knee press against his throbbing erection. "Please..." he whispered. "Please what?" Mika pulled away from the nipple with a 'pop!' "What do you want me to do, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "Please...please...please go lower..." he whispered out. "Hm? Is that how you address me?" the whip came back down on his nipples, making Yuu cry out. "Tell me, Yuu-chan, how are you supposed to address me?" he asked. "Mi-Mika...Mika, please...Mika, please go lower..." Yuu panted out. "Okay, that sounds better. Now, tell me, how far down do you want me to go?" he said. Yuu got ready to respond when he felt the whip begin to slowly trail down his body. "This low?" Yuu shook his head when he felt the whip circle around one of his nipples. "This low?" he shook his head again when he felt it dip into his belly button. "Or...maybe this low?" a moan fell from his mouth at the feeling of the whip running along the underside of his cock. His back arched a little off the bed as Mika chuckled. "So, down here, huh..." he murmured. Yuu could feel Mika staring at him as he writhed around on the bed. He then felt Mika engulf the tip of his cock, causing him to hiss. "Oh, shit...!" Yuu exclaimed. Mika's tongue swirled around his length as he bobbed his head up and down. "My, my, Yuu-chan. You're so vulgar." Mika commented as he continued his ministrations. He hummed around his length occasionally, vibrations coursing through Yuu's body. Yuu moaned, his hips instinctively snapping upwards. "Who said you could do that?" the whip was brought down on Yuu's nipples, causing Yuu to whimper. "Don't pull that kind of crap on me again." Mika said as he continued to move up and down Yuu's cock. Yuu grunted and moaned as he felt himself getting closer and closer to his climax. "Mika...Mika...Mika, oh shit...I'm going to cum...I'm going to fucking cum, dammit..." Yuu murmured out. He then felt Mika withdraw from his cock before he could be pushed over the edge. He was about to question him when he felt something being tightly tied around the base of Yuu's cock. "You can't cum just yet, Yuu-chan. It just started getting fun, you know." he said. Yuu shivered at how deep Mika's voice got. He then felt a hand grab at his hair and pull him up. "Here. Take this in your mouth." he said before bringing his length into Yuu's mouth and he began to thrust into it. Yuu moaned around Mika's length as his mouth was being fucked by Mika's cock. Mika gripped Yuu's hair tightly as he bucked his lips up into Yuu's mouth. He held Yuu in place, reveling in the feeling of his cock inside of his mouth.. "Oh, shit..." he trailed off as his thrusts grew more and more jerky. He then pulled his length out of Yuu's mouth, causing Yuu to whine. "Don't worry...there's still more to come..." Mika panted out as he tried to catch his breath. Yuu panted, as well, as he thought back to when Mika's length was in his mouth. His lips tingled and his heart began to race. He heard shuffling in the background and Mika softly cursing as he fiddled with something. "What is he messing around with?" he asked himself. He then felt something cold circle around his entrance before it slipped inside of him. He jolted, biting back a moan as Mika began to slowly thrust his finger in and out of him. "Mmmm...Mika..." he murmured. More moans tumbled from his lips as Mika began thrusting his finger in faster. He then added a second finger, which made Yuu cry out. His back arched off the bed slightly as Mika began to scissor him. "Oh, shit..." he moaned out. "You like this, don't you, Yuu-chan?" Mika called out. "Oh...Oh...Oh, Mika..." Yuu mumbled as Mika continue to thrust his two fingers in and out of his hole. They then brushed against his prostate, making Yuu jolt. "Ah! Mika!" he gasped out. "It seems like I found your sweet spot." Mika said as he continued nailing that spot. "Nnnnnn! Shit!" Yuu writhed about on the bed as he felt the pleasure well up inside of him. "M-Mika...!" he choked out. "Yes?" he could feel Mika shift a little as his breath lingered on his cheek.. "What is it, Yuu-chan?" he asked. "I...I think I..." Yuu grunted. "I wanna cum...please..." he trailed off. "Yuu-chan, I said you can't cum just yet." Mika moved in towards his ear. "The only time you're going to cum is when I fuck you so hard hard that you'll be seeing stars." he purred. Yuu felt something stir inside of him as Mika's teeth grazed along his ear. He could feel the vampire teeth that Mika had put in hook around the shell of his ear. He nibbled on it, making Yuu hum in pleasure. "Mika...I want you..." he trailed off. "Do you now?" he asked. Yuu nodded. "Well, I can't give you what you want unless you beg for it. Tell me what you want. And say it in the dirtiest way possible." Mika requested. "Wh-What?!" Yuu swore his cheeks were extremely red at this point. "No! That....that's embarrassing!" he exclaimed. "Oh? Then I assume you don't want it, after all?" Mika asked. Yuu swallowed. He knew Mika was teasing him. He knew he was. But, he couldn't help but fall for it every single time. "Mika..." he let out a shaky breath. "Mika, I...I want you to fill me up to the brim with your cock and pound into me so hard that I might break. I want you to fuck me rough and hard and fill me with your cum. Please, just give it to me...I need you now, Mika!" he pleaded. At that moment, Mika pulled his fingers out. Yuu moaned at the loss of the fingers that were inside of him as Mika pulled away. "Okay, you better prepare yourself." Mika said. Yuu swallowed, waiting patiently for Mika to slide his cock inside of him. What he wasn't expecting was for Mika to quickly and swiftly thrust his whole length into him in one fell swoop. A loud cry was ripped from his throat, his toes curling and his back arching off the bed as Mika's cock was swallowed up to the hilt. He panted harshly, trying to process what just happened. "Was that too quick?" he heard Mika ask. "N-N-No..." Yuu stuttered out. "I mean, I know that in the story, you wrote that I'm supposed to be rough with you, but..." Mika trailed off. "It...It's fine..." Yuu wanted nothing more than to reach up and touch Mika's cheek. "I'm okay. You can move." he said. Mika sighed. "Okay. I'm going to move. But, don't say I didn't warn you." he said. Mika slowly pulled out until only the head was still inside before ramming into him. Yuu moaned as Mika thrusted into him. "Ah...Ah, shit, Mika...more..." he panted out. Mika complied, his thrusts getting faster. Yuu then felt Mika reach for him and lift him up so that he was sitting directly on his cock. The head brushed against his prostate, making Yuu let out a loud moan. "Nnnnnn! Fuck!" his mouth fell open as he bounced on Mika's cock, Mika's hands guiding him up and down. Mika moved in and he began to nip at Yuu's collarbone, grazing his teeth along his skin. Yuu shuddered at the feeling as Mika continued to nail his sweet spot. "Ahhhhhhh! Mika!" another moan fell from Yuu's lips as Mika continued moving up his neck, nipping and kissing it. He then snapped his hips up in an attempt to match Yuu. This made Yuu whimper. "Mmmmmm, Mika...!" he could feel the blindfold begin to slip off his eyes. "It feels...so good...ah!" he swore he was seeing stars as Mika rammed into his prostate once again. He rolled his eyes down as Mika pulled away, staring up at him. "Ah, the blindfold came off." he noted. He then smirked. "How does it feel, Yuu-chan?" he moved in to whisper into Yuu's ear. "The vampire is making the werewolf howl as he ravishes him through and through. It feels great, doesn't it?" he purred. Yuu moaned breathily as Mika began peppering kisses down his jawline. "I...I'm going to cum...! Oh, please, make me cum! Please!" he moaned out. "Hm? Is that how you address me?" Mika asked as he brought the whip down on Yuu's ass. Yuu cried out, arching his body against Mika's as the whip came down on him again. "M-Mika...! Mika, please make me cum! I wanna cum so badly...I really want to...Please, Mika...!" he begged. "Ah, that's better." Mika said. He reached to untie the ribbon he had wrapped around the base of Yuu's cock and he tossed it off to the side, moving in towards Yuu's neck. He bit into the junction where Yuu's shoulder and neck met, causing Yuu to let out a loud, drawn out cry as he came, cum spurting onto their chests in long, white streams. He shook violently as he rolled his hips into Mika's, riding out his climax. Mika felt Yuu's walls pulsing around his length and he came soon after with a grunt, spilling his seed inside of him.  They stayed still for a few minutes, Yuu's head resting against Mika's as he tried to catch his breath. Mika withdrew his mouth from Yuu's neck just as he slowly pulled out. Cum slowly trickled out of Yuu's entrance as Yuu fell backwards onto the bed. "Oh shit...that was wild..." Yuu panted out. "Yeah..." Mika trailed off. He then reached out towards Yuu. "Let me untie you." he said. Yuu didn't refuse as Mika undid the ropes on his wrists and he dropped the ropes onto the floor. He then observed the bite mark he left on Yuu's neck. He bit down so hard that he had broken the skin, some blood seeping out. He moved in and he began to lick at the blood collecting there. Yuu jolted, feeling Mika's tongue glide along his skin. "Did it hurt when I bit you like that?" Mika asked. "A little..." Yuu admitted. "I'm sorry." Mika apologized. "You don't need to apologize, Mika! I'm okay." Yuu said. "You sure?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah, I'm alright." he said. "Okay, that's good." Mika withdrew from his neck. "Oh yes, Yuu-chan?" he called out. However, Yuu didn't respond. This made Mika arch a brow in confusion. "Huh? Why isn't Yuu answering me?" he asked himself. He then looked up to see that Yuu had fallen asleep. This made him chuckle. "Oh boy..." he quickly slid Yuu under the sheets and he got in next to him. "Good night, Yuu-chan." he called out before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep, as well. Chapter End Notes *REMEMBER! Y'all can come scream at me on Tumblr at thisoneyaoifangirl if I'm taking too long to upload a chapter! The link to my page is here: https://thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ ***** Overstepping the Boundary ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, YAOI (boyxboy), rape fantasies (you have been warned!), safe words (not exactly a warning, but just putting it out there), some rape/non-con elements (for those who might be easily triggered by this) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter for IASWASB! So, if I am being honest, this chapter is one that I'm not particularly proud of, mainly because I attempted to write about a subject that is pretty sensitive: rape. Now, before any of you guys come after me, I want to say that in this chapter, Yuu and Mika are going to be reenacting a rape fantasy that Yuu dreamed up. While there is consent, people may still think it's rape and well, I'm going to be adding a few tags here and there just to keep that warning in the back of your head. Also, again, this is my first time writing about a situation like this, so please bear with me. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :) *TRIGGER WARNING! Rape/non-con elements WILL be present! Please read at your own risk* **Holy shit, this chapter has 6k+ words!** See the end of the chapter for more notes Yuu was startled awake early the next morning in a cold sweat. He panted, trying to catch his breath as he recalled what he just dreamed of. "What the hell was that? Did I really just think about that?" he asked himself. "Mmmmm...Yuu-chan...?" he heard a voice call out groggily. Yuu glanced over to his right to see Mika had stirred awake beside him. "Ah...Good morning, Mika..." Yuu trailed off. "Good morning." Mika replied. Mika sat up, stretching as he shot a glance at Yuu. "You're up early." he commented. "Yeah. I kind of had a dream that startled me, so..." Yuu trailed off. "A dream?" Mika questioned. Yuu nodded. "Yeah." he replied. "If you don't mind me asking..." Mika glanced at Yuu. "What exactly did you dream about?" he asked. "Um...Well..." Yuu caught his bottom lip in between his teeth. "I'm not sure if you actually want to know...it's kind of embarrassing..." he trailed off.. "Even more embarrassing than the smut you write in that binder of yours?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded. "I've never had a dream like it before. I've never even written about it in my binder." Yuu said. "Okay, so it's something completely different." Mika said. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he trailed off. He swallowed, his eyes locked on Mika's as he tried to figure out how to approach the subject without the blond either getting immediately flustered, disgusted, or a mixture of both. "You can say it. I won't be freaked out." Mika encouraged, his voice lowered into a soft whisper. Yuu fiddled with his thumbs, letting out a shaky breath. "Mika...I...I just had a fantasy of you raping me and I was..." he could see how Mika's facial expression changed the moment the word rape slipped past his lips. "I was wanting to know if you would be willing to reenact that scene with me." he requested. ===============================================================================   The next day, Yuu had completely tuned everyone out at the lunch table. Shinoa was showing Kimizuki something on her phone and Yoichi and Mitsuba were discussing something. He poked at the spinach on his plate with a fork as he recalled his conversation with Mika yesterday. ===============================================================================   After cleaning up, getting dressed, and having breakfast downstairs, Mika decided to take Yuu back home. They hadn't really spoken much since Yuu's sudden request of wanting to reenact a rape fantasy. If Mika was being honest, he wanted to know why Yuu had fantasized about such a thing. "Reenacting a rape fantasy?" he glanced at Yuu out of the corner of his eye, watching as Yuu stared outside. "I really hope I had been hearing things or else I'd really be screwed..." he thought to himself.  He turned left and drove into Yuu's community, the radio softly playing rock and roll music. He took a right as Yuu's house came into view. He pulled up in front of the driveway and Yuu turned to look at him. "Thanks for dropping me off." Yuu said as he reached to unbuckled his seat belt. "Yeah, no problem." Mika said. Yuu took off his seat belt and he opened the car door. "Well, I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow." Yuu said. Before he could step out of the car, he felt Mika grab ahold of his wrist. "Wait." Mika said. Yuu froze, his heart skipping a beat at how serious Mika sounded. "Yes?" Yuu answered as he shifted about in his seat to look at Mika. Mika yanked Yuu closer, startling Yuu. Mika's sky blue gaze was so intense that it had Yuu glued right where he was. "M-Mika..." Yuu stuttered out. "Yuu-chan." Mika continued to stare at him. "You do exactly realize what you were asking for earlier this morning, right?" he asked. Yuu swallowed. "Y-Yes..." he stammered off. "You know that I can't just willingly accept your offer to reenact a rape fantasy. It sounds totally insane." Mika began. "So...you're basically telling me no..." Yuu trailed off. Mika sighed. "Yes and no." Mika decided to elaborate after seeing Yuu arch a brow. "I'm not sure if this is something I should willingly accept. I mean, while I get that you will have consent before we engage in something like that, it still feels odd. So, I would like to request that I think about it for a little bit.." Mika explained. "Um...yeah. Yeah, of course." Yuu laughed nervously. "I'm sorry for throwing such a request at you so suddenly- - -" Mika cut him off. "Just know that I'll get you an answer by Tuesday."  he let go of Yuu's wrist. "I'll see you in school tomorrow." he said. Yuu nodded before slipping out of the vehicle and closing the door behind him. ===============================================================================   Yuu frowned, burning holes into his salad.  "I get that it's a very outrageous request. Reenacting a rape fantasy sure is risky. But..." he glanced over at Mika, who sat at his usual table surrounded by Crowley, Ferid, and Krul. "I wanted to reenact this. He shouldn't be so cautious about it. It's not like he hasn't been rough with me before." he thought to himself. He stabbed at a piece of spinach as he heard Mitsuba speak. "So, Yuu! What do you think?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice as he looked at Mitsuba. "Um, what?" he answered. "Were you even listening?" Kimizuki asked. Yuu shook his head. "Sorry. I must've gotten very distracted." he commented. "You're always getting distracted." Kimizuki jeered. "Kimizuki, don't be such a jackass." Yuu bit out. "But anyway, what we were all discussing was that Shinoa was hoping to go to the aquarium during our break." Mitsuba explained. "Okay...?" Yuu answered, wondering what that had to do with anything. "She wants us to hang out together." Yoichi said. "Oh, I see." he shifted his gaze over to Shinoa. "Do you know what day you were thinking of?" he asked. Shinoa shook her head. "Not yet. I still need to figure out the kinks of it, but once I do, I'll make sure to contact everyone." she explained. "The kinks..." Mitsuba trailed off before snickering. Shinoa began to fume, knowing exactly what Mitsuba was hinting at. "What the hell, Mitsuba?!" she complained, which made Mitsuba burst into fits of laughter. Yoichi laughed nervously. "Geez, you guys are as noisy as always..." he trailed off. "Ah, speaking of..." Yuu put a forkful of spinach into his mouth. "What happened when you got back home on Saturday?" he asked. "Oh. That." Yoichi's gaze lowered to his plate of salisbury steak. "Apparently, Lacus and Tomoe got into a fight." he said. "Wait, what?!" Mitsuba screeched out. "Shhhh! Keep it down!" Yoichi hissed, noticing how some people were staring in their direction. "I thought those two were perfectly fine!" Shinoa pointed out. Kimizuki snorted. "Bitch, you thought they were perfect." he commented. "Well, I want to assume that they argued over something stupid, but it must've been serious is it made her kick him out. She refuses to tell me what exactly happened and she locked herself up in her room. She even ditched class today." Yoichi explained. "Maybe it really was bad..." Shinoa trailed off. "I guess so...I hope she opens up to me soon enough..." Yoichi murmured. Yuu nodded his head in agreement as he continued to eat his salad. As he put a forkful into his mouth, he could feel someone's gaze on him. He quickly turned his head only to see Mika laughing at something Crowley had said. This made him arch a brow. "Was I just imagining things?" he asked himself. He shrugged as he went back to eating, not noticing how Mika's eyes shifted over to him. =============================================================================== Mika sat at his desk later that evening, working on his Calculus homework.  He tapped on some keys on his calculator as he sighed. "No matter how much math I throw myself into, I still can't forget what he said." he thought to himself as Yuu's words circled around in his head. "Mika...I...I just had a fantasy of you raping me and I was...I was wanting to know if you would be willing to reenact that scene with me." Mika bit his lip as he began to think. "He really wants me to do it...I mean, with a request like that, everything else we've done seems like softcore. He wants to push it all the way, though...." he thought to himself. He dropped his pencil down on the worksheet, rolling his head up to the ceiling. "I need some advice..." he murmured. He grabbed for his phone, quickly dialled a number, and he began to pace back and forth in his room. Pacing usually was able to calm him when he was feeling stressed, but this time, it did nothing to quell his ever growing stress surrounding Yuu's request to basically rape him. After three rings, the phone clicked. "Hello?" "Hey, Ferid. It's me." he said. "Oh, Mika! What a pleasant surprise! Usually, you text me. It must be important if you're choosing to call me rather than text me." Ferid said. "Well...I just wanted to talk to you about something." Mika said. "Okay...fire away, Mika."  Mika sighed, dropping down onto his bed as he tried to come up with a way to broach the subject. "Should I just tell him that I want to know whether or not I should reenact a rape fantasy with Yuu?" he then quickly shook his head. "No, no, no! Ferid would be absolutely disgusted if I told him that! Well...not exactly disgusted, but something similar to it..." he thought to himself. "Mika? You there?"  "Ah! Y-Yes, I'm still here." Mika cleared his throat. "So, what I am about to tell you is extremely hypothetical, okay?" he asked. "Oh boy. Usually, when one says it is hypothetical, they're usually asking about a situation they're actually in." "That's not the case!" Mika knew Ferid hit the bullseye, but he wasn't going to let him know that. "You watch way too many dramas, Ferid..." he trailed off. "Okay, we're getting off-topic here. So, what you're about to say is hypothetical, am I correct?"  "Yes, you are correct." "Okay, so spill." "Okay." Mika cleared his throat once again. "So, say that you are in a very complicated relationship with a guy at school." he began. "Hmmm...define complicated." "Complicated as in the guy has been admiring you from afar and you find out, causing the two of you to engage in a sexual relationship." "Oh, I see. Continue." "So, the two of you wake up after having sex in the morning and the guy tells you that he wants you to reenact a rape fantasy he dreamt up of in his head. While you want to go along with his wishes, you know that you could also be overstepping a boundary if you choose to do it." "Okay..." "So, Ferid, what would you do?" "What I would do? Hm..." Mika heard conversation on Ferid's end and Ferid scoffed. "Crowley, that wouldn't help the situation!" he snapped. "What?" Mika asked. "Oh, that was Crowley. He's being a bit of an idiot...but thinking back to your hypothetical situation, if it were me, I would probably ask if this is something he really wants. If he really does want it, then I guess it's okay to do it." Ferid explained. "I see..." Mika trailed off. "But, if we do decide to engage in that activity, there are still a couple rules that we would need to follow by. Consent is crucial, even if we are reenacting a rape fantasy. If they want to stop, simple words such as stop won't have any effect. A code word must be needed." "A code word?" Mika arched a brow at this. "Yeah, a code word. It's a word that can also mean stop. Code words are used a lot in BDSM situations, especially if it gets too intense. Words like lilies and rose are both examples of code words. Using these code words would surely help if it is being pushed too far or if it hurts. And also, consent is everything when it comes to risky play like that." "Okay." Mika said. "So? Anything else you want to ask of me?" Ferid asked. "No. I think that's good." Mika said. "Okay, cool! Well, I've gotta get going before Crowley chooses to steal something from my pantry."  "Yeah. I've gotta get back to my math homework, as well. I'll catch you later." Mika said. "Yeah! Bye!" the phone clicked, signaling that Ferid hung up. Mika sighed, chucking his phone onto his pillow as he stared at the ceiling. "Code words and consent, huh..." he swung an arm over his eyes. "This stuff sounds way more complicated than I thought it would be..." =============================================================================== Yuu stepped into the library after school the next day, his eyes darting around the room for a certain blond.  After talking with Yoichi about Tomoe and the details pertaining to her argument with Lacus (apparently, Lacus began casually hitting on some girls that trick or treated at the house and Tomoe got super jealous), he had gotten a text from Mika saying to meet at the library after school the next day. As it was Tuesday, Yuu came to the conclusion that Mika finally made a decision. "Where is he?" he asked himself. He padded down the aisle of mystery novels, searching for Mika. "Mika?" he called out. He stepped out of the aisle to see Mika sitting on a chair right by a window, his elbow propped up on the armrest and his cheek resting on his hand, his eyes closed. "He was taking a nap..." he thought to himself as he quietly made his way over to Mika. The sun shone through the window, highlighting Mika's facial features. His hair shone in the light and his bangs rested just above his forehead. His lashes created small shadows on the rise of his cheekbones and the sun made his skin look like it was glowing. Yuu reached out to brush some hair out of Mika's closed eyes as his eyes landed on Mika's lips, which were a light pink color. His heart skipped a beat. "Those lips...what would it feel like to kiss them?" he asked himself. Curiosity got the better of him as he watched how Mika's lips were slightly pursed as he let out small breaths. He tucked some hair behind Mika's ear as he leaned in towards him. His heart began beating faster and faster as his face inched closer to Mika's. His breath mingled with Mika's as he heard a voice. "Yuu-chan, just what is it that you're doing?" "Ah!" Yuu quickly pulled away, dazed blue eyes staring into Yuu's wide emerald ones as Mika stirred from his nap. "N-Nothing! I was doing absolutely nothing!" he stammered out. "Oh? Is that so?" Mika asked, leaning in so that his breath hit Yuu's cheek. Yuu shuddered at the sensation. "I...I'm telling the truth." he said. "Okay." Mika replied as he pulled away. "So? What exactly are we talking abou- - -Ah!" Yuu let out a gasp as Mika grabbed for Yuu's wrist and he yanked him onto his lap. Yuu's back rested against the armrest as he stared at Mika. "M-Mika?!" he stammered out. "Isn't this better? You don't have to keep standing like that, after all." Mika commented. "I could've just taken the chair across from you, though..." Yuu muttered. "But, I'm sure that sitting on my lap is something that you had wanted, am I right?" he asked. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red. He couldn't exactly deny that, especially with the look on his face. "Y...You're not exactly wrong..." Yuu stuttered out, lowering his gaze to his lap. Mika chuckled. "I figured." he then cleared his throat. "So, let's talk. But before we get to our main topic of discussion, I want to know how your day went today." Mika said. "My day?" Yuu questioned, blinking his eyes twice in confusion. "He never wanted to know before..." he thought to himself. "Yes, your day. Tell me about it." Mika said. "Um...well...what exactly is there to even talk about...?" Yuu laughed nervously. "I woke up at six thirty this morning, got to school at seven, and Guren and I parted ways. Classes were fine, I guess. My English class is a little bit of a bitch, though..." he murmured. "What are you doing in that class right now?" Mika asked. "We're reading and analyzing Emma by Jane Austen." he hummed, feeling Mika's thumb rub circles into his lower back. "The book is a total bore and I just want to get it over with." he explained. "I see? And lunch? How did it go? What did you eat?" Mika asked. "I just had a roast beef and swiss cheese panini for lunch. Also, lunch was okay. Apparently, Shinoa and the others want to go to the aquarium over our Thanksgiving break." Yuu explained. "That sounds fun." Mika commented. "It does." Yuu looked down at Mika. "And? What about your day?" he asked. "Eh, it was nothing special. I took notes in my classes like I usually do and watch you from afar." Mika explained. "You...You watch me from afar?" Yuu questioned, wondering if he heard the blond right. "I do. During lunch, I watch you." Mika looked at him. "The way you interact with your friends is interesting." he commented. Yuu's cheeks flushed red as he lowered his gaze. "Geez, you're making me blush..." he muttered. A comfortable silence hung over them for what seemed like a long while. Then, Yuu cleared his throat. "So...about my request..." he trailed off, deciding to dabble into the whole rape fantasy request. "Yes. We do need to talk about that." Mika said. He looked at him as he spoke. "So...I thought about this quite a bit. I weighed my pros and cons, but those are nothing compared to what I'm about to ask you." he began. Yuu arched a brow at him as Mika continued. "Is this something you truly want?" he asked. "Huh?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice. "Yeah. I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't want to do it." he commented. "But, like, do you really want to do this? Do you think that by doing this, you're not going to regret it afterwards?" Mika asked. Yuu swallowed, quickly noting that Mika did have a point. "Well...I never thought I would have regrets..." Yuu trailed off. "And why is that?" Mika asked. "Because I can trust you, Mika." Yuu answered. This made Mika's eyes widen. "What?" he asked. "I said that I trust you, Mika. I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose." Yuu explained. Mika swallowed, his eyes still trained on Yuu. "Mika, you don't have to worry about anything. I trust you, so there is absolutely no way I won't regret any of it." Yuu said. He then rested his hands on Mika's shoulder. "I mean it. So, please, just say yes." he begged. Mika swallowed again, silently contemplating his options. He then sighed. "If this is what you really want, then I don't have a reason to object." Mika said. Yuu smiled. "I knew you wouldn't turn me down!" he exclaimed. Mika stared at Yuu's smile. His smile was so warm and vibrant that he almost forgot how to breathe. "He's smiling...but..." Mika frowned. "He's only smiling because I agreed to rape him." he thought to himself. "Mika?" he felt a hand touch his cheek and he looked up into Yuu's eyes. "Are you okay? You're frowning quite a bit." he commented. "I'm okay. I was just..." Mika cleared his throat. "I was just wondering what we should use as a safe word." he said. "A safe word?" Yuu asked. Mika nodded. "I did some research while I was coming up with a decision and a lot of sites told me that having a safe word is key to successfully reenacting a rape fantasy. If you find that it hurts a lot, you will need to alert me in some way. As I would be immersed in my role as the rapist, words such as stop would not have any effect on me. Actually, they would urge me onward. So, we need a word that means stop without you actually having to say stop." Mika explained. "Oh, okay. So, what word do you think we should use?" Yuu asked. "That's why I'm bringing it up with you right now. I don't know what word would be good." Mika explained. "Hm...I wonder what we could use..." Yuu trailed off. He tapped a finger against his chin as he spoke. "Ah! How about green?" he suggested. "That could almost be taken as that I should keep going, if we're thinking about a traffic light." Mika pointed out. "Oh shit, you're right." Yuu began to drum his fingers along Mika's leg, which was beginning to distract the blond. "Hm, let's see here..." he trailed off. As Yuu began to muse which words would work, Mika's eyes could not seem to pull away from where Yuu's fingers were. He was glad that they stayed in one spot because if they had chosen to move, he would not have hesitated to bed Yuu over and fuck him mercilessly against the window beside them. Mika quickly chased that thought away as Yuu spoke. "Ah! How about macchiato?" Yuu suggested. "Why macchiato?" Mika asked. "Wheb we went to that coffee shop after Crowley's party, you said that you usually got a macchiato. So, I assumed that it was your favorite drink and since that it is something you like, it would make you more inclined to stop." Yuu explained. "I mean..." Mika cleared his throat. "While that does make sense, if it were an actual rapist and you shouted out something that he liked, wouldn't it have the opposite effect?" Mika asked. "But we're not talking about an actual rapist! We're talking about you, Mika! Even though we haven't known each other for a long time, I can tell that you stop the moment someone you love gets hurt." Yuu said. "And why is- - -" Yuu cut him off. "Before you decide to finish that statement, it is because I can tell you are not the kind of person to intentionally hurt someone you truly and deeply care for." he said. "How can you say that?" Mika asked. "I know so." Yuu's hands moved up to cup Mika's cheeks. "Okay?" he asked. Mika couldn't help but stare at him. The more he continued to stare, the more he wanted to kiss him.  Mika began to move in slowly towards him. Yuu only stared, confusion flashing through his eyes as he watched Mika's face get closer and closer. But, before anything else could happen, Yuu's phone began to vibrate in his pants pocket. "Ah, that's my phone." Yuu said, withdrawing his hands from Mika's cheeks and pulling out his phone, looking at the text that he had just received. [03:51:12pm] When you come back home, you're gonna help me grade some homework assignments for my morning classes. And just so you know, it's not going to be for your class. Yuu pouted. "Geez, Guren...!" he whined. "What is it?" Mika asked. "Guren wants me to come home so that I can help him grade some homework assignments for his morning classes." Yuu replied. "I see..." Mika trailed off. "Yeah. Sorry." Yuu got off of Mika's lap. "But, I guess we can talk about this another time?" Yuu asked. "Actually, wait." Mika said. "Hm?" Yuu answered. "You didn't happen to...um...you know." Mika began to twiddle with his thumbs. "Did you write how the scene would go?" he asked. Yuu's cheeks turned as red as a beet. "I...I actually did, yeah..." Yuu trailed off. He then reached for his backpack. "I can give you my binder so that you could look it over and what not." Yuu offered. "Just the papers is fine. I don't need the whole binder." Mika said. "Okay." Yuu replied as he pulled out his binder. He opened it up and popped the rings apart, pulling the papers he had used to write his most recent story on out of the binder. "Here." Yuu said as he handed the papers to Mika. "Thanks." Mika cleared his throat as he grabbed for the papers. "By the way, Yuu-chan." he watched him with a serious look on his face. "I think we should stop seeing each other for a bit." he suggested. "What?" Yuu questioned, his eyebrow arched in surprise. "I think that in order to execute it successfully, we shouldn't see each other for a while. I'll have Ferid notify you when I think we should meet again.. When we do meet, I will be satisfying your darkest desire." Mika explained. "Oh. I...I see..." Yuu trailed off. He ignored the sinking feeling emerging from the pit of his stomach as he spoke. "Well...I guess I'll see you when you're ready." Yuu said as he quickly gathered up his stuff. A small smile graced Yuu's lips before he turned on his heel and he headed out of the library. =============================================================================== It had been a week and a half since Yuu and Mika had spoken to one another. Sure, they had some of the same classes together, but they never actually paired up or spoke to one another. They just pretended that they never knew each other.  Yoichi frowned as he looked at Yuu. "Yuu, are you okay?" he asked. "Hm? What do you mean?" Yuu asked. "You keep zoning us out." Shinoa stared him down. "Did something happen?" she asked. "No, nothing happened." Yuu replied. "I can't exactly tell Shinoa that I'm waiting for Mika to be ready to reenact a rape fantasy with me, now can I?" he asked himself. "Ooooh! Is it because Mika has been avoiding you recently?!" Mitsuba gushed. "Wha...?!" Yuu gawked at her in shock as she giggled. "Our poor little lover boy...don't worry, Yuu!" Mitsuba reached out to pat him on the head. "Your prince who you write endless smut about will come whisk you away eventually." she cooed teasingly. "I don't know, I feel like wanting to whisk you away, too." Yuu stated bluntly. "Yuu, stop being so blunt with your friends!" Mitsuba whined. "Mitsuba, don't trouble him so much..." Yoichi trailed off. "I like how you're always defending Yuu whenever we decide to pick on him." Shinoa piped in. "I just don't like it when you guys continuously pick on him." Yoichi pointed out. "Are you sure you're not actually gay for him?" Kimizuki jeered. "No way! I'm straight, not gay!" Yoichi pointed out. "Um, last time I checked, you told me you were a bisexual pineapple." Mitsuba stated. "Trying champagne at your sister's wedding was a total mistake..." Yoichi mumbled. Yuu tuned them out again as he thought back to Mika. "What exactly does he have to contemplate about for almost two weeks? He's never been this cautious before..." he thought to himself. That was when his phone went off. "Hm? Who's that?" he asked himself as he grabbed for his phone and he looked at the message that he just received. [12:45:16pm] Hello, this is Ferid! Mika told me to text you some info. He says he wants to see you at that fancy hotel called Golden Sun at the edge of the red light district at around 9pm tonight. He already booked a room for the night and that once you get there, ask the receptionist for the spare key under the name Lacus Welt. The receptionist will then give you the key to the room. I honestly got no idea what Mika is up to, but don't get yourselves involved in anything stupid ;p Yuu's eyes lit up once he saw the text. "Finally!" he exclaimed excitedly, which startled Shinoa and the others. "What the?" Shinoa questioned. "Are you okay, Yuu?" Yoichi asked. "I...I'm fine..." Yuu trailed off. He felt giddy inside as he thought back to the text that he had just received. "I hope he executes it properly..." he thought to himself as he couldn't help but think about the many things that could unfold later tonight. =============================================================================== Yuu stood in front of the hotel before him, swallowing.  After leaving Guren a note saying that he would be by Yoichi for the night (and also telling Yoichi to tell Guren that in case he did call), he quietly slipped out into the night and headed over to the hotel. He felt his palms begin to grow sweaty as he began to think. "Well...here goes nothing..." he thought to himself before walking into the hotel. The lobby looked quite fancy, but also had a sensual edge to it with the deep, dark colors and dark velvet wallpaper lining the walls. The floors were black marble with a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the center of the lobby. The reception desk was tucked in the very back of the lobby. He made his way over to the reception desk, looking at the male before him. "Hi, I had my boyfriend book a hotel room for the two of us." Yuu said. "Name?" the receptionist asked. "Lacus Welt." Yuu answered. "Okay." the receptionist quickly tapped away on the keyboard of the computer before him, moving to grab for the room key. "Here's the spare room key. Your room is on the west side." the receptionist motioned to his left as he handed Yuu the key. "Have a nice stay." he said.  "Thank you." Yuu replied with a smile before walking over to where the receptionist had instructed him to go. He pressed the elevator button, glancing down at the room number written on the small envelope that was holding the key. "Room 905...I wonder if that would give us a view of the city...the city is usually pretty at night..." he thought to himself. The elevator to his left dinged, signaling that it finally arrived at the lobby. He walked in and pressed the number nine, watching as the elevator doors closed shut. He tapped his foot against the floor nervously as the elevator continued to go up. He watched his reflection, which looked distorted in the silver elevator doors. The elevator reached the ninth floor a couple of minutes later and he stepped out, taking a right and heading down the hall. He admired the dark purple wallpaper with silver patterns on it decorating the walls and the way the white crown molding contrasted with the color of the wall as he made his way down the hall. "This hotel is so fancy...I can't believe Mika managed to convince Lacus to book a room here..." he thought to himself. He stopped in front of room 905 and he took out the card key, inserting it into the slot. A light on the doorknob flashed green at the same time the lock clicked, signaling that the door was unlocked. He turned the knob and he opened the door, stepping into the room. He flicked the lights on as he took in the space. There was a bathroom set to his immediate left with a small closet to his immediate right. There was a large king sized bed against the deep purple walls in the rooms, the sheets white to contrast against the colors of the wall. The carpet was black and there was a flat screen TV on the wall across from the bed. A dresser was underneath the TV along with a desk and chair to the right of the dresser and a small sitting area with a table to the left. A large window went from the floor up to the ceiling with purple velvet curtains pulled back to give Yuu an amazing view of the city. Yuu closed the door behind, his jaw slightly agape in awe. "Wow..." he breathed out. "He truly outdid himself here..." he thought to himself. He took off his shoes, tucking them into the small closet and walking further into the room.  "Well, I should probably get ready. Who knows when Mika will choose to come in..." he murmured under his breath before dropping the backpack that he brought with him at the foot of the bed and heading off in the direction of the bathroom. =============================================================================== Yuu stepped out of the bathroom in a purple silk robe, towel drying his damp hair. "What time is it?" he asked himself.  He padded over to the bed and he picked up his phone, looking at the time. "Ten fifteen, huh..." he murmured under his breath. He didn't notice that someone had quietly slipped into the room while he had locked his phone. "Mika should get here eventually..." Yuu muttered as he dropped his phone back onto the bed. He went back to towel drying his hair as the lights flicked off. "Huh? Just who in the world was tha- - -" he then gasped, a hand quickly flying over his mouth. The towel slipped out of his hands as he began to struggle against the person. "L-Let me go!" he cried out. "No." a voice rasped out in reply. Yuu shivered, recognizing it as Mika's. "Oh...it's beginning now..." he thought to himself as a hand slipped into his robe. "Please...Please leave me alone...ah!" a cry was torn from Yuu's lips as his nipple was tweaked with roughly. He was then thrown onto the bed, Mika climbing on top of him and pinning him down. The robe was torn off of his body in an instant and Mika moved in to bite at Yuu's collarbone harshly. A sharp gasp mixed with a moan escaped Yuu's lips, his back arching as Mika suckled on the skin roughly. "Nnnnn...it...it hurts..." he panted out. Mika didn't respond as he moved down his body, nipping roughly at the skin until he stopped at Yuu's nipple. He then took it into his mouth, suckling it while he tweaked the other one in between his fingers. "Ugh...ah...st-stop...! Ah!" Yuu felt Mika bite down on his nipple before pulling away. Mika glowered at him, Yuu shivering at the intensity of his stare. "You need to seriously shut up." he growled out. He reached into his jeans pocket and he pulled out a black cloth. He then reached out and brought it over Yuu's mouth, gagging him as he tied it tightly at the back of Yuu's head. Yuu began to breath through his nose as he watched Mika give his other nipple the same harsh treatment. Muffled moans escaped Yuu's lips as Mika continued, nipping his way down towards Yuu's hardened erection. "Wow. For someone who desperately wants me to stop, your body is getting all excited." Mika commented. Yuu tried his best to keep up his act of resisting him, shooting Mika glares.. He then twitched, feeling Mika's finger touch his leaking tip. He then watched as Mika reached to unzip his jeans, pulling out his hardened cock. "Ah, look. Your struggling has turned me on." the intense glint in Mika's eyes made Yuu's heart speed up. "Now, I want you to pleasure me." he said. Once he said that, he tore the cloth off of Yuu's mouth and he fisted his hand in Yuu's hair, forcefully yanking him up from the bed. "Now, suck." he commanded before forcing Yuu to engulf his cock in his mouth.. Yuu let out a muffled gasp, feeling the tip of Mika's cock hit the back of his throat. His hands moved to rest on Mika's thighs as Mika began to thrust his length into Yuu's mouth. Muffled moans came from Yuu as tears began to bead in the corners of his eyes. He began breathing through his nose in order to gain more oxygen, seeing that Mika wasn't going to pull out anytime soon. Mika grunted as he continued to thrust into Yuu's mouth. Each time Yuu's teeth accidentally dragged along his length, he would shudder at the sensation it would give him. The more he thrusted into Yuu's mouth, the closer he was to his climax. "Oh shit...shit, I'm going to cum..." Mika gritted out. He then let out a groan, shooting his cum down Yuu's throat. He made Yuu deepthroat him, making sure that not a single drop of his cum fell out of Yuu's mouth. He pulled out, more cum shooting onto Yuu's face as Yuu coughed up some of Mika's cum. He looked up at Mika as the blond swiped a finger across his cheek. "That's not all, you know. There's still more to come." Mika said. Yuu could feel his body shiver as he tried to slip back into his role as a victim. "No...No, I won't let yo- - -" a loud shout was torn from Yuu's throat as Mika instantly plunged two semen-covered fingers into his hole. The buzz of pain flooded his body as Mkka scissored inside of him roughly. He could feel his eyes burn with unshed tears as Mika continued. At the same time, he used his other hand to pump Yuu's cock. Moans mixed with soft pleas to stop filled the room as Yuu's head rolled into the pillow. "Shit...! Ah!" he cried out, his back arching off the bed as he felt the tips of Mika's fingers brush against his sweet spot. Mika began to massage it whilst stroking his cock quickly, causing Yuu to writhe about on the sheets. He was trembling mess when he came, streams of cum coating his chest white. Mika pulled his fingers out, causing Yuu to grunt. "Okay, now time for the grand finish. I'm sure it's something you're going to like." Mika said. In that moment, Mika had turned Yuu over so that his face was shoved into the pillow and his ass was stuck up in the air for Mika to admire. He rested his hand on Yuu's waist as he lined his cock up with Yuu's entrance. Yuu was only able to take in one short breath before he felt Mika thrust his cock into him all the way up to the hilt. He screamed, feeling more pain shoot up from his backside and throughout his body. His legs shook as a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks. Before he had a chance to react, Mika was already thrusting in and out of him. More loud shouts and moans came from Yuu as he was pounded into the mattress. It felt like Mika was ripping him apart and making sure that he wasn't in tact ever again. He opened his mouth to let out another loud scream when Mika grabbed for his hair and shoved his head down into the pillow, keeping it there. He thrusted into him, the only sounds in the room being Mika's harsh breathing, Yuu's muffled cries, and skin slapping against skin. Yuu's hands clenched and unclenched as he continued to feel more pain. While he knew the pain was starting to get to him, he couldn't find it in him to use the safe word. It was like cotton balls were shoved down his throat. His throat felt scratchy and his voice had begun to turn raw after all the screaming he had done. He cried out into the pillow when he felt Mika's hand connect with his ass cheek. Mika continued to smack his ass as he thrusted directly into Yuu's prostate. A muffled scream was heard from Yuu, his legs shaking more than it did before. The bed creaked as Mika continued, growing closer and closer to his peak. A breathless sigh fell from Mika's lips as he listened to Yuu moan into the pillow. He pulled Yuu's head up as a noise that sounded like a mix between a moan and a broken sob escaped Yuu's lips as he came with a shudder. Yuu panted harshly, seeing stars as cum spurted onto the sheets. His walls tightened around Mika's length, causing his thrusts to become jerky. Mika hissed as he came, shooting his cum inside of Yuu. He stayed still inside of him for a few minutes before pulling out, cum spilling out of Yuu's entrance and trickling down his thighs. Yuu found himself falling forward into the pillow, his throat scratchy and his cheeks wet with tears. He watched as Mika got off of the bed, slipping his cock back into his jeans. He wanted to call out to Mika, but before he could, his eyes slipped shut. Chapter End Notes Me: *sits and ponders her life as of right now* Also me: I might fix this up at a later time... *Come scream at me on my Tumblr page at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ ***** What Exactly Are We? (Part 1) ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, mentions of rape fantasy Chapter Notes Hey, you guys and welcome back to IASWASB! So, I've just finished all my finals for the semester and now I have literally a month off, so you know what that means: I'm going to be updating more often! I might try to revert back to my usual "update weekly" schedule or I'll just update once a chapter is done (that is, until the next semester starts and then I get swarmed with even more homework). So, there was supposed to be more to this chapter, but I decided that it would be best to split it in two because I need something that would at least flow to the one event that I have been dying to write (more info on that will come up eventually). I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D Yuu woke up the next morning to the feeling of pain coursing through his body. He hissed, slowly sitting up. "Ow..." he mumbled.  "I think Mika went a little rough last night...I think that was the roughest sex we've ever engaged in..." he thought to himself. He then looked over to see a figure standing by the window. It didn't take him long enough to realize that it was Mika standing by the window in a white robe, towel drying his hair as he looked outside. "Mika...?" he called out. His hands then flew up to his mouth, taken aback by how his voice rasped. "My voice sounds raspy...just how much did I scream last night?" he asked himself. Mika was startled out of whatever daze he was in, turning to look at Yuu. "Oh, you're awake." he commented. "I am." Yuu responded. "I just came out of the shower." Mika moved the towel from his hair. "I'll go and start a bath for you." he said. "Huh? But- - -" Mika cut him off. "Don't try and speak so much. Your voice isn't going to get any better if you keep talking." Yuu kept his mouth shut as Mika continued. "Besides, your body must be hurting all over, right? I think a warm bath will make your body feel better." he said. Yuu could only nod as Mika disappeared into the bathroom. Yuu's hands found the sheets as he heard the sound of water running coming from the bathroom. He gripped the sheets tightly as he thought back to last night. "To think we actually did it...it's so crazy. But..." a frown crossed Yuu's lips. "Why is Mika acting so coy?! He's never like this after sex!" he thought to himself. He watched as Mika came out of the bathroom.  "Okay, the tub's ready." he made his way over to Yuu and he pulled the sheets away, revealing Yuu's naked form. "Now, up you go." he said before reaching out and tucking one arm under the crook of Yuu's legs. Yuu blushed furiously as Mika lifted him out of the bed bridal style. "M-Mika!" he stammered out, his cheeks resembling a rose as he buried his face into the fabric of the robe Mika had on. A low chuckle rumbled through Mika's body. "Relax, Yuu-chan. Besides, I'm sure you're not able to walk after all that went on last night." Mika commented. Yuu bit his lip as he let Mika carry him into the bathroom, which felt as warm as a sauna. He leaned in a little to Mika's chest as Mika made his way over to the tub. "There you go..." he trailed off before resting Yuu into the tub gently. Yuu sighed as he was set down into the warm water of the tub. He rolled his head back so that it was resting on the edge of the tub as Mika spoke. "Do you need me to do anything?" he asked. "Hm..." Yuu trailed off. He stared at his reflection in the water as he spoke. "Maybe you'd like to wash my hair?" Yuu suggested. "I guess I can do that, yeah." Mika replied. He grabbed for a small cup, a small bottle of shampoo, and a small bottle of conditioner from the counter and he made his way back over to the tub. He sat on the edge of it, scooping some of the water up with the cup. He then poured it over Yuu's head. "Eeeeep!" Yuu squeaked out. "Is it too hot?" Mika asked. "No...it's tolerable..." Yuu murmured. "Okay." Mika replied before scooping up some more water and pouring it over Yuu's head. He then poured some shampoo into his hand and he began to work the shampoo into Yuu's hair. Yuu hummed, his fingers dancing along the surface of the water as Mika massaged his fingers throughout his hair. His touch was so soothing that Yuu swore he was going to drift to sleep right there in the bathtub. Mika slicked some of his hair back, shampoo lightly coating his forehead. "Ah, let me get rid of that shampoo." Mika said. Yuu could only nod in response as Mika scooped up some water with his hand and he lightly splashed it in Yuu's face. Yuu's eyes closed on instinct as Mika wiped the suds off of his forehead. Mika then proceeded to wash the shampoo out of Yuu's hair. The suds and water slid down Yuu's body as Mika poured more warm water over his head. "He's being very gentle...it's almost like he sees me as something fragile. I should feel happy that he's treating me this way, but..." Yuu brought his lower lip in between his teeth."Why do I also feel frustrated that he's treating me this way?" he asked himself. He tilted his head back to look at Mika. "Mika, you don't need to treat me like I'm fragile. What happened last night was something that I was totally okay with. So, don't feel terrible." he said. He looked into Mika's eyes and saw the surprise reflected in them. He also saw what might've been regret and guilt swimming around in his eyes. "Why does he look so guilty?" he asked himself. Before he could comment on it, Mika looked away. "I...I'm sure you can do the rest by yourself. When you're done, I'll take you back home." Mika said as he began to make his way over to the door. As his hand rested on the door frame, he heard Yuu call out to him. "Actually...would you mind dropping me off by Yoichi's instead? I did tell Guren that I'd be by Yoichi, so..." Yuu trailed off. His grip began to tighten on the door frame as he spoke. "Okay." he replied before stepping out of the bathroom and closing the door behind him. =============================================================================== The drive to Yoichi's house was deadly silent. It was so silent that it was driving Yuu crazy.  "Why won't he say anything?!" Yuu began to glare out the window. "Actually, he's been acting fishy all morning! The least he could do is turn on the fucking radio and play some tunes or something!" he thought to himself. He crossed his arms over his chest as he glanced at Mika out of the corner of his eye. Mika's eyes were clearly focused on the road, his eyebrows furrowing every once in a while as he hit a traffic light or whenever a car suddenly pulled in front of him. Yuu observed the way he'd let out small 'tch's or how he'd bite down on his lower lip to prevent a cuss word from slipping past his lips. "He's so focused...it actually makes him look sexy." he thought to himself as Mika drove into Yoichi's community. He pulled into the driveway a couple of minutes later and he cut the engine. "Thanks for bringing me here. I appreciate it." Yuu said as he began to unbuckle his seat belt. As he was about to reach for the door handle, he heard Mika speak. "Why didn't you use the safe word?" he asked. Yuu's hand hovered over the door handle, taken aback by the sudden question. "What...do you mean? I didn't need to use it." Yuu replied. "Don't lie. I can tell that you were going to use it at some point." Yuu could tell that Mika was gritting his teeth without even looking at him. "I was going too rough, wasn't I?" he asked. Yuu's heart tugged painfully at how upset Mika sounded.  Mika had no right to feel upset. Yuu chose to mot use the safe word mainly because he felt like he didn't need to. While it did hurt, it wasn't so painful that it would push Yuu to use the safe word. "Okay, yes. I was contemplating using the safe word. But, the pain just began to fade away after a little whi- - -" Mika cut him off. "Then, why didn't you use it?! You should've said it!" Yuu looked over at Mika, surprised at how pained Mika looked. "You may not believe it, but there is a limit to how rough I can be with you! If you're feeling hurt, then you need to stop me! If you don't tell me and I end up hurting you---!" Mika trailed off, his teeth gritted in frustration. Yuu was also beginning to feel frustrated. How could Mika not see that everything was okay? Yuu knew completely well what he was getting himself into, so it shouldn't have been such a big deal. He then leaned in towards Mika before he could stop himself. His lips brushed against Mika's temple, startling the blond. "Mika." Yuu gave him a serious look. "Stop feeling so guilty. I've told you a million times that it was something that I wanted. And the reason why I didn't use the safe word was because I didn't want you to feel upset or guilty. So, please don't beat yourself up like that. All that matters is that I'm fine." he said. Mika stayed silent, staring at Yuu in surprise. A soft smile danced across Yuu's lips as he pulled away from Mika. "Well, I'm going to go now." he opened the car door and stepped out, grabbing his things in the process. "Bye! I'll see you in class Monday!" Yuu chirped as he waved and closed the door behind him. He made his way across the driveway and over to the front door. He rang the bell as he heard Mika reverse out of the driveway and drive off. "I hope I got through to Mika...he better not be getting cold feet after what transpired last night!" he thought to himself as the door opened. "Hey, Yuu!" Yoichi greeted, rubbing the sleep out of his eye as he spoke. "Hey." Yuu stepped inside as he took in Yoichi's mussed up hair and his navy blue and neon green Spongebob pajamas. "Did you just wake up?" he asked. "Yeah, no thanks to Tomoe's loud shouting." he stated sarcastically. "What do you mean?" Yuu asked. "You see- - -" that was when they heard a loud shout come from the kitchen. "Lacus, you can't be serious!" Yuu swallowed as Yoichi spoke. "Yeah, she's been going at it for a while now..." he trailed off. "What exactly happened?" Yuu asked. "Apparently, her and Lacus were supposed to go on a date tonight, but he apparently had something come up at the last minute and now she's pissed." Yoichi explained. Yuu toed his shoes off as he followed Yoichi down the small hall towards the kitchen. "It doesn't seem that serious, though..." Yuu trailed off. "That's what I would think, as well. That is, if he hadn't been canceling on her nearly every day after we went trick or treating." Yoichi pointed out. "For real?" Yuu asked as they stepped into the kitchen and Tomoe came into view, her reddish brown hair bunched up in a messy ponytail and her hand gripping the countertop tightly as she practically screamed into the phone. "You promised we'd go tonight!" ... "Don't give me your shit, Lacus! You always promise that there will be a next time and so far, you haven't followed up on said promise!" ... "Oh, just what the hell...? What do I even care anymore?! Do I matter to you anymore?!" ... Yuu and Yoichi watched as Tomoe's expression softened. "You really mean it?" ... "Okay, then. We'll go out to eat on our anniversary date, then."  Yoichi swallowed at that as Tomoe spoke. "It's going to be a long wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth it." she giggled. "Okay, bye, Lacus! I love you, sweetie." she sent a kiss over the phone before hanging up. "I see that hurricane Tomoe has calmed down into tropical storm Tomoe." Yoichi remarked. "Ah!" Tomoe quickly turned to look at Yoichi. "Yoichi, did I wake you up?" she asked. "Yeah, you did." Yoichi replied bluntly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Sorry..." she murmured. "It's alright. Besides, I got a visitor with me." he said, jabbing his thumb in Yuu's direction. "G-Good morning!" Yuu managed to stammer out a greeting as he bowed his head politely in her direction. "Oh my god, I had no idea we were having visitors." Tomoe wiped at what might've been a stray tear. "Sorry for looking so indecent." she apologized. "You don't have to apologize!" Yuu scratched the back of his head. "Is it relationship problems?" Yuu asked. Tomoe let out a halfhearted chuckle. "Ah, you got me. It is indeed relationship problems." she glanced down at her phone idly. "I guess you can say that I'm having trouble in paradise." she said. Yuu could tell that Yoichi wanted to spit out a harsh remark, but he kept it to himself as Tomoe spoke. "Ah, let me go change into something more presentable." she then looked at Yoichi. "Yoichi, do you want to start on breakfast?" she asked. "Yeah, I'll start on that." Yoichi said as Tomoe disappeared down the hall. He sighed as he opened up the fridge. "Yuu, you mind grabbing the skillet pan?" Yoichi asked. "Yeah. Just let me set my backpack down." Yuu said before going into the living room and dropping his bag down on the couch. He then reentered the kitchen and he dug through one of the cabinets for a skillet pan. He pulled it out as Yoichi took out a carton of eggs, some broccoli, cheddar cheese, and some sliced deli ham. "I'm going to make omelettes, if that's okay with you." Yoichi said. "Yeah, that's totally fine with me." Yuu replied as he handed the skillet pan to Yoichi. Yoichi set the pan on the stove, drizzling some oil into the pan before heating it up. While the pan was heating up, he cracked two eggs into a bowl, added some salt and pepper, and he quickly whisked the eggs with a fork. Once the pan was warm enough, he poured the eggs into the pan. As he got to work pulling the broccoli florets apart and grating the cheese, he shot a glance over at Yuu. "So...where exactly did you go last night and why did you need to hide it from Guren?" Yoichi asked. He swore he saw Yuu stiffen, but quickly decided that he was just imagining things as Yuu spoke. "Eh, nowhere in particular..." Yuu trailed off. This made Yoichi sigh. "Yuu, there's no way that wherever you went last night was 'nowhere in particular.'" Yoichi narrowed his eyes at Yuu as he finished grating the cheese. "You had to have spent the night somewhere. You didn't show up at all last night, after all." Yoichi commented. Yuu bit his lip as Yoichi dropped some broccoli florets into the pan. "Yuu, you don't have to lie to me. You know that I won't tell anybody." Yoichi said. Yuu sighed. "I know, but..." he played with the hem of his shirt. "I don't exactly know where to begin..." he trailed off. "Start with where you went last night." Yoichi said. "Well..." Yuu trailed off. He had to come up with a lie and he had to come up with it fast. It's not like he was going to tell Yoichi that he had gone to a hotel near the red-light district and him and Mika reenacted a rape fantasy in one of the hotel rooms. He'd rather die than tell his best friend that. "I was by Mika's place." he said as Yoichi tore a slice of ham into smaller pieces and he dropped them into the pan. "You were by Mika?" Yoichi questioned in surprise. "I was, yeah." Yuu said. "Oh wow." Yoichi added some cheese before reaching for the spatula. "Why did you go by his place?" he asked. "I needed help with some homework. He offered to help, so I went by his place." Yuu explained. "I see." Yoichi flipped the egg halfway so that it now covered half the pan. "So, did you end up staying the night by him?" Yoichi asked. "Yeah." Yuu was silently relieved that Yoichi was buying his story. "I chose to stay back with Mika because you know how Guren can get when I try to sneak back into the house very late at night." he commented. "Ah, yes, that is quite true." Yoichi stated. He finished up the first omelette a couple of minutes later and he began to start on the second one. "So...what kind of relationship do you and Mika have, exactly?" Yoichi asked. "Hm? Relationship?" Yuu asked. "Yeah. I mean, I've noticed that the two of you seemed closer the last time I saw you two together. But, thinking back on when Guren accused you of having sex with Mika, I'm starting to wonder just what you've gotten yourself into." Yoichi explained. "It's nothing crazy, really." Yuu said. "You sure? It's nothing...abusive, right?" Yoichi asked as he flipped the second one. Yuu swallowed as he stared down at the blank screen of his phone. "It's not really an abusive relationship. As a matter of fact, it's not even a romantic relationship whatsoever. It's just..." Yuu sighed. "Actually, I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk about it." he admitted. Yoichi nodded his head in understanding. "I understand. I'm not going to pressure you into saying anything. Just know that I'm here whenever you're ready to tell me." Yoichi said. "Okay." Yuu smiled. "Thanks, Yoichi." he said. They settled into a comfortable silence afterwards. After a few minutes, Yoichi finished making the omelettes and Tomoe joined them at the island in a maroon red cropped long sleeve and light grey sweatpants. They ate together, talking about what they were going to do today and about something stupid that happened in Tomoe's women studies class. Yuu bit into his omelette as his mind drifted back to Mika and the pained expression on his face from before. He swallowed a piece of broccoli covered in melted cheese as he breathed out a sigh. ***** What Exactly Are We? (Part 2) ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, mentions of rape/rape fantasy, briefly mentioned homophobia(?) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter of IASWASB! Welp, here's the second half of the chapter! Ferid is gonna get a little savage, Crowley finds out something big about Ferid, and Mika is now realizing that being bisexual is indeed an option. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D *This chapter starts out after the bathtub scene from the previous chapter, but it's from Mika's perspective this time* See the end of the chapter for more notes Mika kept his eyes on the road, hoping to distract himself from the morning's events (and most importantly, last night's events). However, the boy fidgeting about and glaring out the window wasn't making things any better for him.  "The more I look at him out of the corner of my eye, the more I think about last night. No matter how much Yuu convinced me that it was something he truly wanted, I just can't shake the feeling that what I did was wrong..." he thought to himself. He bit down on his bottom lip hard enough to draw some blood as he stopped at a red light. "Tch." he gritted out. He wanted to bang his head on the steering wheel and let the horn blare loudly. He wanted to scream and curse and pull his hair out. However, he knew that it would startle Yuu and lead him to believe that Mika was acting suspicious. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at the red light. "Come on, turn to green already! This is already getting way more awkward than it should be!" he told himself. The light turned green a couple minutes later and he took off down the road, hoping to fill his head with the directions to Yoichi's house. He pulled into Yoichi's community after a few minutes. He drummed his fingers along the steering wheel as he began to think. "Ugh, where is this house?! Let me reach it so that I can drop Yuu off and then I can scream and vent all I want back at home!" he told himself. He then saw Yoichi's house come into view. He pulled into the driveway and he cut the engine, watching as Yuu opened his mouth to speak. "Thanks for bringing me here. I appreciate it." Yuu said as he began to unbuckle his seat belt. Mika swallowed, watching Yuu as he unbuckled his seat belt. He felt sick to his stomach. It was like he had gotten some sort of food poisoning that just wouldn't go away. He wanted to express to Yuu how upset he felt and how he felt just taking advantage of him like that was just plain wrong. However, the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat. He managed to find the ability to speak again as Yuu was about to reach for the door handle. "Why didn't you use the safe word?" he asked before he could stop himself. He watched as Yuu's hand hovered over the door handle. It was quite obvious that he had caught him off-guard. "What...do you mean?" he heard Yuu whisper out. Alarm signals began to go off in Mika's head. "Shit! I definitely did not mean to voice that! Aaaaaagh! Mika, couldn't you fuck up anymore than this?!" he asked himself. That was when it hit him. "Wait a second. I just managed to present myself with the perfect opportunity to let him know how I feel. If I can play my cards right, I think I can get through to him." he thought to himself. "I didn't need to use it." Yuu said. "Don't lie. I can tell that you were going to use it at some point." Mika gritted his teeth. "I was going too rough, wasn't I?" he asked. Silence hung among them for what seemed like centuries. Without even looking at Yuu, he could tell that Yuu was trying to formulate his next few sentences carefully. After a while, Yuu opened his mouth to speak. "Okay, yes. I was contemplating using the safe word." Mika felt a pang of pain shoot through him. "But, the pain just began to fade away after a little whi- - -" he cut Yuu off instantly. "Then, why didn't you use it?! You should've said it!" the pain in his chest began to grow more and more unbearable, but he didn't care. "You may not believe it, but there is a limit to how rough I can be with you! If you're feeling hurt, then you need to stop me! If you don't tell me and I end up hurting you---!" Mika trailed off, his teeth gritted in frustration. Mika felt sick and frustrated all at once. How could Yuu play this off as something trivial? This matter was very crucial. If Yuu had just let him continue, Mika would've gotten a little too used to his role and he could've torn something in him. If Yuu had gotten hurt, Mika didn't know what he would do with himself. He then heard Yuu shift about in his seat and a pair of lips brush against his temple. His eyes widened, a shocked expression washing over his face as he looked over at Yuu. "Mika." Yuu gave him a serious look. "Stop feeling so guilty. I've told you a million times that it was something that I wanted. And the reason why I didn't use the safe word was because I didn't want you to feel upset or guilty. So, please don't beat yourself up like that. All that matters is that I'm fine." he said. Mika stayed silent, staring at Yuu in surprise. A soft smile danced across Yuu's lips as he pulled away from Mika. "Well, I'm going to go now." he opened the car door and stepped out, grabbing his things in the process. "Bye! I'll see you in class Monday!" Yuu chirped as he waved and closed the door behind him. Mika could only stare as Yuu walked over to the front door like they didn't have a very serious conversation the the vehicle just moments ago. The more he thought about Yuu's carefree attitude in response to the situation, the more upset he felt. He gritted his teeth as he started back up the engine, reversed out of the driveway, and he sped out of the community. He gripped the steering wheel tightly as he looked at his phone, which sat in the cup holder by his seat. "Siri, text Mom." he said. A couple seconds later, he heard Siri respond. "Okay. What do you want to say?" a female Australian accent reached his ears as he heard a beep. "I'm still by Ferid's place. I'll be home in a little while." he said. "Okay. Ready to send it?" "Send." Mika said. He took a sharp left turn as he heard Siri speak once more. "Okay, sent." Mika decided not to talk to Siri anymore as he focused on getting to Ferid's house.  "Ferid helped me with my "hypothetical" situation before. Maybe he can help me with this one and give me some advice." he thought to himself. He arrived at Ferid's house a few minutes later and he parked the car on the curb. He took his phone and he stepped out of the vehicle, locking the vehicle. He walked up to the front door and he rang the doorbell. He stood in front of the door, waiting for someone to answer. "Hm? Is Ferid still asleep?" he asked himself. He reached to ring the doorbell. However, nobody answered. "Ugh, for real?! Is he really still asleep?!" he asked himself. Before he could turn and walk back to his vehicle, the door opened to reveal Crowley. "Oh, Mika! Totally wasn't expecting you." he said. "What are you doing here? Where's Ferid?" Mika asked. "I'm here because Ferid and Lacus got too drunk and I had to drive Lacus back to his dormitory. As for where Ferid is, he just woke up. He's brushing his teeth and trying to wake himself up." he stepped aside. "Come in." he said. "Thanks." Mika stepped inside and he toed off his shoes. "So, why did Lacus come by and get himself and Ferid drunk?" he asked. "It was something along the lines of Lacus and his chick getting into some argument and how she wouldn't stop screaming at him over the phone. He never said what the argument was about, though." Crowley explained. "I see." Mika said as Crowley closed the door.  They walked into the living room as they heard a voice come from the hallway. "Fuck...Crowley, just who the hell was at the- - -" Ferid spotted Mika as he emerged from the hallway. "Ah, Mika. What a pleasant surprise." he said. "Morning, Ferid." Mika greeted. "What brings you to my humble abode at this time of morning?" Ferid asked. "I need to talk to you about something. It's very important." Mika said. "I figured as much. You wouldn't come here so early unless it was important." Ferid looked at Crowley. "Crowley, can you pop some Hot Pockets in the microwave and make some coffee?" he asked. "Yeah, sure." Crowley said before making his way into the kitchen. Ferid and Mika plopped down onto the couch, Ferid shifting a little so that he was looking at him. "So, tell me, Mika. What is this important matter you really needed to discuss with me?" Ferid asked. "Okay." Mika breathed out a sigh. "So, this is extremely hypothetical- - - " Ferid cut him off before he could continue. "Oh Jesus lord...what the hell did you do this time? Did you get involved in some shady shit or something?" Ferid asked. This made Mika nearly choke on his spit. "What the...?! No! First off, I told you that this is completely hypothetical. And also, will you let me finish?" Mika asked. "Okay, okay. Continue on." Ferid said. "So, like I said, this is extremely hypothetical. So, you remember that hypothetical situation I told you about pertaining to reenacting the rape fantasy?" Mika asked. "Yes, I do remember us having this conversation." Ferid quirked a brow. "Is this new hypothetical situation related to that one?" he asked. Mika nodded. "Yeah, it is." he heard the sound of the microwave dinging from in the kitchen. "So, say that after some consideration, you decide to go ahead with reenacting the rape fantasy. The two of you at up a time and place and you meet there at that time. Then, you guys engage in reenacting the rape fantasy." Mika began. "Okay...go on." Ferid said as Crowley came into the living with a tray that had three Hot Pockets and three mugs of coffee resting on it. He placed the tray on the coffee table and he sat down next to Ferid, reaching for a mug and sipping on his coffee. "Okay, so the next day, you can't help but feel guilty and angry at the same time. You feel guilty because you still feel like you did something morally wrong and you also feel angry because you know that your sex partner didn't use the safe word even though it was obvious that they were in pain. You confront them about this, but they insist that everything is fine and that you shouldn't be feeling like that." Mika explained. Crowley whistled. "Well, damn." he took a sip from his mug. "That got real deep real quick." he stated. "Okay..." Ferid trailed off, watching Mika like he were waiting for him to add onto his explanation. "So? How would you deal with the situation?" Mika asked. "Hm...if I'm being honest..." Ferid reached for a plate that had a Hot Pocket on it. "I'm not sure how I'd deal with the situation." he admitted. "What? You don't know?" Mika asked. "I mean, if you really think about it, both of us would be at fault. My partner would be at fault because they didn't alert me of how they were in pain. I would also be at fault because I knew they were feeling pain, but I took no action to relieve their pain." Ferid pointed out. Mika swallowed as he reached for his plate. "I...I see..." he trailed off. He blew on his Hot Pocket before taking a small bite from it. He chewed, the cheese coating his mouth as Ferid spoke. "Okay, I have a question." he said. "Okay, ask away." Mika said. "Why exactly would I be feeling guilty?" Ferid asked. Mika swore he felt an indescribable pain slam into his heart. "What do you mean?" Mika asked. "You said that I felt guilty after the act was done. But, from what I remember, the relationship between my partner and I was not romantic and was more sexual with some complications thrown in there. This relationship is purely a sex buddies with benefits relationship, is it not? So, why exactly would I feel guilty?" Ferid asked. "Yeah, that's what I began wondering, too." Crowley agreed. Mika swallowed. "Ferid has a point...why exactly was I feeling so guilty? It's not like I care about the person I'm using as a source of entertainment and fucking out of pure curiosity, right?" he asked himself. "Well..." Mika took another bite out of his Hot Pocket. "I can give you your thought process, if you'd like." he offered. "Yeah, I think that might help." Ferid said. "So, say you're straight. I know you're not, but just imagine that you are for a second." Mika began. Crowley sputtered into his mug. "What the?!" he looked at Ferid in shock. "You're gay?!" he exclaimed. "Yes, I am." Ferid sighed. "Crowley, we'll talk about this later." he said with a slight wave of his hand, dismissing the subject for now. "Okay, so you're straight and you find out that this guy is sexually attracted to you. Now remember, you're not into guys at all. However, you can't help but grow curious. You want to know what sexual intercourse with another male is like. You want to satisfy this curiosity. So, you propose to him that the two of you will engage in a sexual relationship in order to satisfy your curiosity. It also benefits him because he gets to have sex with the man of his dreams." Mika said. "So...you're basically saying that I'm manipulating and toying with his feelings for my own personal gain?" Ferid guessed. "If you want to put it that way, then yeah." Mika said. "Now, that's just harsh! You're making me seem like a complete douchebag!" Ferid exclaimed as he tore his teeth into his Hot Pocket, letting out small yelps about how hot the Hot Pocket was. Mika felt like his ego had been stabbed by a flaming pitchfork as Ferid calmed down. "Is that what it was? Does Yuu see me as some douche that mercilessly toyed with his feelings for me?" he asked himself. He felt a pang hit his stomach as Ferid spoke. "Okay, so hypothetical me is a huge douchebag that loves breaking other mens's hearts. So, what else?" Ferid asked. "So, you continue to toy with his feelings and string him around. You give him the best sex of his life. But then...but then, he asks you to basically rape him. Now, you may like messing with him, but a request as crazy as that is something that would make even the biggest douchebag players think about what is considered right or wrong. After some hesitation, you go along with it and after all is said and done, you feel hollow. You begin to see him in a whole new light. He's not a source of entertainment anymore. He's not a male fucktoy that can satiate your curiosity anymore. You now see him as an actual person with feelings. You don't want to bring harm to them ever again. You don't want to manipulate their feelings anymore. All you want to do is protect them, treasure them, and make them happy. You want them to be happy all the time and if they feel pain, you want to take that pain away from them as soon as possible. But, it's not just that. You begin to feel warm and fuzzy just by looking at them." he began to think about Yuu, images of the boy flitting through his mind. "Their every action makes you feel warm, their smile makes your heart race, every single expression they make is so damn adorable that you just want to hide them away so that they can keep those expressions for you and you only, their laugh makes your heart skip multiple beats, just...everything about them is so amazing and beautiful and just so breathtaking." Mika said. "Okay, the way you're describing this is making me think that this really is something you're dealing with." Ferid stated. "And like I said, it's not! This is totally hypothetical!" Mika stated as he finished off his Hot Pocket. "Sure." Ferid bit into his Hot Pocket. "Continue." he said. "So, what exactly is that feeling?" Mika asked. "You know, the answer is actually quite obvious." Ferid stated after a few moments of silence. Mika swallowed. "What do you mean?" Mika asked. "Doesn't all that mean I have fallen in love with the boy in the midst of it all?" Ferid asked as Mika reached for his mug and he began to sip on his coffee. Mika nearly choked on the liquid, causing Ferid to watch him with concern. "Mika? Are you okay?" he asked. "Y-Yeah! I'm totally fine!" Mika replied as he put the mug back down on the coffee table. He coughed a little as various thoughts swirled around in his mind. Was that what it was?  Did he really fall in love with Yuu? He quickly shook his head. "No, that can't be right." he told himself. "But, Ferid...you're straight, not gay. How could you fall in love with a male if you obviously don't swing that way?" Mika asked. Ferid watched Mika like the blond didn't know what Star Wars was. "It's called being bisexual, Mika." he stated bluntly. Mika was at a loss for words. "Wait a second...is he saying that I'm bisexual?!" he asked himself in shock. "I...I see..." Mika trailed off. Ferid frowned as he stared at him. "Mika, are you really sure that this hypothetical? With the way you're reacting, it doesn't seem like it's hypothetical." he stated. "I am very sure that this is hypothetical." Mika continued to take sips from his coffee. "So, say that you figure this out. However, you're not quite sure if this feeling is love. How would you go about determining that?" Mika asked. "Okay, first off, I'd tone down on the sex completely. It would help me see the more romantic aspect of this relationship rather than the sexual aspect. Then, I would try doing things that couples would normally do around each other to see if I feel anything." Ferid said. "Like...what kind of things?" Mika asked. "I'm sure you know what I mean." Ferid said with a wink. Mika chose not to question him any further as he finished off his coffee. "So, is that all?" Ferid asked. "Yeah, that's all." Mika said. He then felt his phone vibrate on his lap. He looked down and saw that he had received a text from his mom. "Ah, it's from my mom. I should probably head back home now." Mika said as he stood up. "Okay! Well, it was great being able to talk to you even though it's nine thirty in the morning." Ferid stood up, as well, and he led Mika over to the door. "I'll see you in class tomorrow!" he said. "Yeah, see you then." Mika replied before heading out of the house. Ferid closed the door, locking it as he heard Crowley speak from behind him. "So? Ferid, when were you going to tell me that you're gay?"  Ferid sighed as he turned to look at Crowley, who had his hands on his hips. "It didn't seem that important, so I didn't say anything." Ferid stated. "How could it not be important? This is big news. But, the one thing that pains me is that you told Mika and not me, the person you've known for as long as you could remember." Crowley pointed out. "Okay, first off, I never told Mika anything. He happened to walk in on me making out with one of the jocks on the lacrosse team during freshman year and he promised not to say anything to anyone. And also, I clearly remember you telling me in seventh grade that you would not want to be friends with a homosexual because you feared that he would make advances on you." Ferid explained. "What does that have to do with anything? You are my best friend, Ferid. I would never shun you because of your sexuality because I have known you long enough to know that you would never make advances on me." Crowley pointed out. "Oh? You just know that I wouldn't jump you?" Ferid asked. "What is that supposed to mean, Ferid?" Crowley asked. "What if I told you that there hasn't been a single moment where I had to stop myself from making advances on you? What if I told you that I wanted nothing more than to be that special someone in your eyes?" Ferid gritted his teeth as he looked at him. "How would you react then?" he asked. "Ferid, I...I don't quite understand..." he trailed off. "Oh, I see that I've done a pretty good job of hiding the fact that I have been crushing on my best friend since god knows when and that I get jealous each time you flirt with Krul or any girl in general. I get sick each time I hear that you got yourself laid or you've been banging some chick. But, I bottled those feelings up so that I could continue to be the friend you expect me to be." Ferid said. It was silent between them for what seemed like centuries. Crowley was the one to break the silence. "You have a crush on me?" he asked. It was only when Crowley asked that question that Ferid realized he said something he shouldn't have. He sucked in a sharp gasp, his eyes growing wide as he spoke. "Did I really just say that...?" he whispered out. "You did." Crowley's eyebrows furrowed. "When were you going to tell me this?" he asked. Ferid snorted. "Why the hell would I confess to a straight guy? There's no way in hell that a straight guy would give a homosexual like me the time of day. Crowley, you wouldn't have cared even if I chose to confess to you! You'd question me and wonder why I had sex with all those women. Well, the truth is, I never had sex with any of those women that I have mentioned! I only said I banged them because I wanted to at least seem normal." he glared at Crowley. "If you think that showing me sympathy is going to help the situation, then you're dead wrong, Eusfo- - -" he was cut off by Crowley walking up to him, trapping him against the door and slamming their lips together in a rough kiss. A surprised gasp escaped Ferid's lips as Crowley pressed into him, their lips molding together. His lips tasted like coffee and the ham and cheese Hot Pocket he ate earlier. It was a weird combination, but for some reason, Ferid seemed to like it. His eyes then widened, realizing what was going on. He reached up to rest his hands on Crowley's chest, pushing Crowley away from him. They both panted harshly as Ferid spoke, his eyes trained on the ground. "Get out. I need some time to myself..." he panted out. Crowley said nothing as he slipped on his shoes and he breezed past Ferid, opening the door and slamming it shut behind him. Ferid felt his legs begin to shake and he collapsed, his hand flying over his mouth. His vision blurred with tears as he gripped at his shirt. "Just what have I done...?" =============================================================================== Mika squirmed uncomfortably in his seat at the lunch table the next day, noticing how Ferid and Crowley sat on opposite sides of the table. Krul stuck a curly fry into her mouth as she looked over at Mika. "Hey, do you know what is up with those two?" she asked. Mika shrugged. "Beats me. Ferid didn't say a word during class earlier today." Mika stated. "I see..." she trailed off before continuing to eat her curly fries. She dipped them in mustard before popping them into her mouth, eyeing Ferid and Crowley with a calculating eye. Mika sighed as he poked at a piece of beef with his chopsticks. He swirled some lo mein noodles around his chopsticks as he spotted Yuu at his usual table out of the corner of his eye. The table was in an uproar like usual with Shinoa and Kimizuki teasing the living life out of Yuu while Yoichi defended him. He frowned, not liking how close Yoichi was to Yuu. "Dammit..." he grumbled as he stuck some noodles into his mouth. "What should I do...? I mean, with what Ferid said, it is beginning to make total sense. However, I'm still not sure." he thought to himself. He wanted to ask Ferid something, but with the way he was glaring at his bowl of beef lo mein, he decided against it. "Ferid seems to be in a shit mood at the moment. I'll leave him alone for right now. I'm sure he'll open up sooner or later." he thought to himself. He then tapped Krul's shoulder. "Hm? What is it?" she asked. "So, say that you were in a sexual relationship with someone and then found out that you might be developing romantic feelings for them. But, you are not sure if these feelings are actually romantic or not. How would you check to see what those feelings are?" he asked. "Ohoh?" Krul quirked an eyebrow at Mika's question. "Are you possibly in love with someone, Mika?" she asked. "No. It's just hypothetically speaking." Mika stated. "Ah. Well, I would probably ask them on a date. Then, I would kiss them or something. Usually, the kiss is what determines everything, but I would rather start out with the date because I want everything to go nice and slow before I make any advances." Krul explained. "I see..." he trailed off. "Okay, that actually seems like a good idea." an idea then hit him. "We're going to be on break starting next week. This can be a perfect opportunity to experiment." he thought to himself. He pulled his phone out and he went into his messages, tapping on the conversation he had with Yuu. He quickly typed in his message, reading it over at least three times to see if it sounded correct. "Okay..." he let out a shaky breath. "Here goes nothing..." he trailed off in his thoughts before hitting send. =============================================================================== "Ugh, you guys are so ridiculous!" Yuu complained as Mitsuba shot him a devious grin. "You know you saw it coming." she stated. "Shut up..." he grumbled as he snatched his smut binder out of her grasp. He listened to Yoichi scolding Mitsuba as he clutched the smut binder tightly to his chest. He was tempted to look over by Mika's table, but he refrained himself from doing so. He didn't have the heart to text Mika after their small argument yesterday morning about the safe word. He couldn't shake the image of Mika's pained expression out of his head, causing him to blank out often and earn him a smack to the back of the head from Guren. No matter how hard he tried to forget what happened, it still kept repeating in his mind like a broken record. "I can't get it out of my head...maybe I should apologize to Mika..." he thought to himself. As he slipped his binder into his backpack, he felt his phone vibrate. "Hm? I wonder who that might be..." he thought to himself as he read the text that he had just received. [12:32:33pm] hey yuu-chan, you going 2 be busy next tuesday? He arched a brow at this. "What the...? Why does Mika want to know? Could it be..." he began fidgeting about in his seat nervously. "Does he feel ready to reenact another scenario with me?!" he asked himself. He quickly typed out a response to Mika and sent it. [12:32:45pm] No, I'll be free. Why? It took a while for Mika to respond. When he saw what Mika had sent, his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. "What?!" he squeaked out, successfully catching the attention of Shinoa and the others. "What the...?" Mitsuba murmured. "Yuu? Is everything okay?" Yoichi asked. Yuu didn't seem to hear them as his mind focused in on the text that Mika had just sent. [12:42:16pm] let's go on a date, yuu-chan Chapter End Notes Whoops, I accidentally added another side pairing o.0 *Come shout at me on Tumblr @ thisoneyaoifangirl for updates, chapter previews, random reblogs, etc* ***** My First Date Went a Little Like This ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, fluff Chapter Notes Hello, you guys! I am finally back with the next chapter of IASWASB! And this is also the first update of 2018, yay me! Now, I would've had this up a while back, but the date was so hard to write and have flow properly. Not only that, there were holiday festivites, I'm currently tackling seventeen credit units, I've grown totally obsessed with Danganronpa V3, and I've been so tired that I haven't been able to get a move on. Oh, and also, if you have noticed, I have come to a conclusion on how the rest of the story will play out and that it will have a total of 24 chapters (the number is tentative for right now; it might go up or down depending on what I want to add). Then, once this story is done, I will be undergoing some major changes (I'll tell you more as we get closer to the end). I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D See the end of the chapter for more notes Yuu paced back and forth in his room, glancing at his phone every once in a while. Guren stood in the doorway of Yuu's room, his eyes following Yuu's every movement. After a while, he cleared his throat. "Okay, what's got ya actin' all frisky?" he asked. At that moment, Yuu let out an exasperated groan. "Oh my god, somebody help me!" he whined as he flopped onto the bed, grabbing for a pillow and smothering his face in it. Guren's eyebrow twitched at the display. "Oi, are ya goin' to tell me or do I need to start playin' the guessin' game?" he asked. Yuu rolled over to face Guren, raising his head from the pillow. "Mika might have asked me out on a date..." he trailed off. As soon as the sentence escaped his lips, he let out a girlish squeal before burying his face into the pillow once again. "Holy shit, what?! Mister Athletic Blond Who You Have Wet Dreams About actually asked you on a date?!" he exclaimed in shock. "Uh-huh!" Yuu rose his head from the pillow. "I couldn't believe it! However, I was too shocked to even send a reply..." he murmured. "Well, you like the dude, don't you?" Guren asked. "I mean, I do, but- - -" Guren cut him off. "Then why exactly are you hesitating?! Text him and tell him you accept!" Guren let out an exasperated sigh. "Geez, you damn teenagers act like you don't know what you're doing sometimes..." he grumbled before exiting the room and heading downstairs. Yuu sighed deeply as he flopped back down on his bed. "Ugh, easy for him to say...when you're in a relationship like the one Mika and I have, you can't help but be indecisive..." he mumbled as he felt around the bed for his phone. He turned it on and went into his messages. [12:42:16pm] let's go on a date, yuu-chan "Aaaaaagh! How does one respond to that?! I mean, "the" Mikaela Shindo is asking me out on a date! Me!" he thought to himself. He ran his finger over the screen, rereading Mika's text over and over again. "I feel like I'm dreaming..." he trailed off. He wanted to forget about the text, just knock out on the bed and sleep the rest of the evening away. But, he knew he had to respond to his text at some point. "You like the dude, don't you? Then why exactly are you hesitating?! Text him and tell him that you accept!" Guren's words rang through his head as he looked the text over again. "Guren's right. Just like everything else that has happened with me and Mika, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can't let this go to waste." he thought to himself before sending a reply. [07:38:08pm] Time and place? Yuu quickly exited out of his messaging app, not wanting to see if Mika had read his message or not. He went into his phone and he started on a crossword puzzle on fruits as a notification appeared at the top of the screen. He managed to catch Mika's name as the notification disappeared. "He responded!" he told himself as he exited out of the app and he read Mika's message. [07:38:38pm] i was thinking the owari aquarium @ 12:30pm next tuesday. we can meet up by the entrance, if you'd like. Yuu was kind of startled by how quickly Mika had responded. Had the blond been waiting all this time for a reply? He swallowed as he typed out a reply. [07:39:04pm] Yeah, that sounds fine with me. [07:39:57pm] k, see u then yuu-chan Yuu's cheeks flushed red. "Oh my god, we're actually going on a date! I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be going on a date with Mika!" he thought to himself. But then it hit him: he would be alone with Mika. And they haven't really spoken since Mika's outburst in the car yesterday morning. "Shit." he let out a curse at the realization. "How am I going to be able to talk to him?! Hell, how do I even face the guy?! No matter how many times I push the image of Mika's pained expression to the back of my mind, it just keeps resurfacing like a bad dream! I don't think I'll be able to stand being alone with him for a long time after that..." he trailed off in his thoughts. He rolled over on his side as another text came in. "Hm? Don't tell me that it's Mika again..." he thought to himself. He looked at his phone screen and saw that the text came from a group chat that had Shinoa, Mitsuba, Yoichi, and Kimizuki in it rather than a text from Mika. He went into his messages app and he read the message Shinoa had sent out. [07:43:12pm] Ok, you guys! I have finally come up with a date and time for us to go to the aquarium!!! ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu watched as a text from Mitsuba appeared in the group chat. [07:43:21pm] kool!!! wat were u thinking of??? ~Mitsuba へ(。•ิ‿ -〃) [07:44:03pm] It's next Tuesday @ 12:30pm. We'll all meet up @ the front. ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> A text from Kimizuki appeared in the group chat. [07:45:16pm] Which aquarium are we going to? ~Kimizuki [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] [07:45:21] Owari. ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu read Shinoa's response to Kimizuki's text as he began to think. "Owari Aquarium at 12:30 next Tuesday by the entrance..." he then paled. "Wait a second, I just made those exact same plans with Mika literally a few seconds ago! I'm going to have to tell them that I can't make it and then try and figure out how to see the whole aquarium while making sure we don't bump into them..." he thought to himself. He got ready to type an apology to Shinoa when a thought struck him. "Wait a second. I want to go on this supposed date with Mika, but I don't exactly want to be alone with him after what happened...Also, Shinoa and the others have been talking about this get together for days now. I can't just stand them up like that. So, how about we all have a massive get together? That way, I can be with my friends and Mika!" he thought to himself. He looked back at his phone and saw how Yoichi had joined in on the conversation. [07:53:27pm] im down w/ that! owari aquarium @ 12:30 next tuesday it is! ~Yoichi (꒪ω꒪υ) [07:53:37pm] Sounds good. ~Kimizuki [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] [07:55:16pm] ey y hasnt yuu said anything yet?!?!?! ~Mitsuba へ(。•ิ‿ -〃) [07:56:01pm] Cherry boy!!! What do u think about the details??? ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu quickly decided that having Mika tag along with him and the others was a good way to satisfy both parties as he typed a reply out to Shinoa. [08:00:00pm] Yup! Sounds good to me! ~Yuu ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ =============================================================================== Shinya frowned as he sifted through Yuu's closet for clothes that would be appropriate for Yuu's outing the next day. "Yuu, do you have anything that would work for a first date?" he asked. "What, I'm sure that there are plenty of clothes in my closet that would work." Yuu stated as he flopped onto his bed. "Okay, then, tell me. What are you thinking of wearing when you go on that date with Mika tomorrow?" Shinya asked. "One of my band t-shirts, jeans, and Vans." Yuu replied. That was when Shinya let out a dramatic gasp. "What?! Absolutely not!" Yuu was startled at how Shinya's voice raised a couple octaves. "You will not wear anything like that under these circumstances! It's a date, Yuu, a date! How could you go on your very first date in something so drab?!" he exclaimed. "Hey, my band shirts are not drab!" Yuu complained. "Don'r give me that!" Shinya snapped as he slammed Yuu's closet doors shut. Yuu gulped, knowing exactly where this was going. "Oh boy. Shinya's raging mom switch just got flipped." he thought to himself as Shinya stalked over to him. "Now, come on! We're going out for a bit!" he said as he grabbed ahold of Yuu's arm and he pulled him off the bed. "In my pajamas?!" Yuu squawked out, looking down at his pajamas, which consisted of s blue shirt that said Hakuna Matata in pink swirly letters and blue pajama pants that had Timon, Pumba and Simba on them, in shock. "Yes, in your pajamas!" Shinya shot back as they stepped out of Yuu's room and Shinya began to drag Yuu downstairs. Shinya made his way over to the front door as Guren poked his head out from the kitchen, a spoon dangling from his mouth and an opened container of peanut butter in his head. "And just where are you taking him, Shinya?" he asked, pulling the spoon out from his mouth. "To the mall! Yuu's wardrobe is an absolute disaster!" he whirled around to look at Guren. "He plans on wearing a band t-shirt on his first date! Can you believe that?!" he asked. "Actually, I can." Guren stated. "Shinya, it's only the aquarium!" Yuu whined. "So what?! It doesn't matter where you go! You still need to look presentable when you go on your first date!" Shinya snapped. "Well, you two have fun." Guren said before sticking the spoon into the container and he began to lick at the peanut butter on it. "What?!" Yuu gaped at Guren in shock. "Guren, please help me!" he begged. "Nah, I'm not getting in the middle of that mess. Once Shinya's raging mom switch is flipped, there's no stopping him until he is satisfied." Guren explained. "Wha...?!" Yuu could only gawk at Guren as he was pulled out of the house and the door closed behind them. Shinya dragged Yuu over to his silver Kia Soul and he opened the passenger door, flinging Yuu into the vehicle. "Now, we are going to the mall and that is final." he stated. Yuu sighed, finally accepting defeat. "Okay..." he mumbled as Shinya slipped into the driver seat and he started up the engine. He reversed out of the driveway and he drove down the road to the community exit. Yuu stared out the window as Twenty One Pilots drifted through the speakers. "Shinya, why exactly are you being such a stickler for dressing up nicely on your first date?" he asked. "Well, don't you want to impress him?" Shinya asked. "Hm?" Yuu hummed out. "Mika, I mean." Shinya stated. That made Yuu choke on his own spit. He reached for the water bottle that Shinya had sitting in the cup holder and he chugged it, gasping for breath once he tore his mouth away from the bottle. "What?!" he squeaked out. "Hm? Are you not going on a date with Mika?" Shinya asked, arching a brow at Yuu's behavior. "I...I am!" Yuu stammered out. "But, I'm also having Shinoa and the others tag along. However, it's not like Shinya needs to know that." he thought to himself.  "Isn't that what you want to do, though? Don't you want to dress up nicely so that Mika is blown away by you and starts to think, 'Wow, this boy is really cute. This is why I fell in love with him in the first place.'" Shinya asked. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as he glanced down at his lap. "I...I guess so..." he trailed off. "But Mika doesn't see me in that way, so how could he think something like that?" he asked himself. Shinya pulled into the parking lot of an indoor mall a few minutes later. "Well, we're here!" Shinya declared as he climbed out of the vehicle, closing the door behind him. Yuu stepped out as well, glancing down at his attire. "And now I am starting to feel conscious about my choice of clothing..." he muttered as Shinya locked the vehicle and came around to grasp Yuu's hand. "Come on, come on! We don't have all day, you know." he said before pulling Yuu in the direction of the mall. The mall was massive with three floors that held various shops and restaurants. The first and second floors had department shops galore while the third floor was entirely dedicated to anime and otome merchandise. The loud chatter from passerbys reached Yuu's ears as him and Shinya walked over to the directory. "Ah, let's see here...where should I take you...?" Shinya murmured as he looked at the directory. He ran his finger along the list of shops, looking at where they were located before looking back at the list. He then gasped. "Aha! Let's go to this store right here!" he declared, pointing at one on the list. "...unlimited?" Yuu asked. "Yeah! I've heard their attire is super cute and they always have some sort of sale going on." Shinya explained. "Do they have clothing for men?" Yuu asked. "Well, they should. They cater mostly to junior girls, though." Shinya stated. "Then why exactly are we going the- - -" Shinya cut him off. "You've never doubted my decisions before, so don't start now!" he grabbed for Yuu's wrist. "Let's get going!" he said before pulling Yuu over in the direction of the escalator. Yuu was tempted to groan and say how this truly was a waste of time, but he kept his mouth shut as he was pulled onto the escalator. He looked up at the large windows on the ceiling, watching how the natural light poured into the mall. They reached the first floor and Shinya pulled him along. They weaved through the crowd, trying to get to their destination. They arrived a couple of minutes later, Yuu glancing up at the sign that said unlimited. in black letters with a white border around them. "This is it!" Shinya declared as he pulled Yuu inside. Yuu began to mentally prepare himself for the headache he was going to have to deal with as Shinya took in the store, which was bathed in pastel pinks and whites. "You know, this store reminds me of that one store Shinoa likes to shop at so much. Hm...what's it called again...?" Shinya murmured as he began to tap a finger against his finger. "You mean Forever 21?" Yuu asked. "Yes, yes, that place! That's what this place reminds me of." Shinya said. "I...I see..." Yuu trailed off (he honestly could not understand for the life of him how this store was like Forever 21). They ventured further into the store until they ended up in the back, where the men's section and clearance racks were. Shinya began to sift through the clearance racks while Yuu sat down on a black velvet circular cushion, breathing out a sigh. "Giving in to Shinya was a mistake..." he pulled at his pajama shirt."The lady up front gave me a weird look when she saw me in my pajamas..." he trailed off in his thoughts. "Okay, Yuu!" Yuu gawked at the many articles of clothing hanging off of Shinya's arms. "I've got some outfits here that I think will look great on you!" Shinya chirped as he dropped the clothes onto another cushion beside him. Yuu could only stare at Shinya as he began sorting the clothes into outfits. "Shinya, you do know that this is a date at the aquarium, right?" Yuu asked. "Yes, I know that your date is at the aquarium." Shinya paired a red and navy blue asymmetrical striped top with a pair of khaki trousers. "Why does that matter?" he asked. "It matters because I don't necessarily need to doll up for the occasion! If he were taking me somewhere classy, then I would consider a trip to the mall. But, we're going to the aquarium! Casual wear is perfectly acceptable!" Yuu pointed out. "First date, Yuu. You gotta dress to impress or else that first date won't be very memorable, now will it?" Shinya picked up an olive green Ottolinger sweatshirt and faded skinny jeans that had stars on them. "Now, put these on! I won't take no for an answer." he stated. "Okay, okay, I'll go try them on." Yuu said before taking the clothes and marching over to a dressing room and pulling open the curtain. He stepped in, yanking it closed behind him while he hung the clothes up on a pink hook that was nailed to the wall next to a long mirror. He sighed, pulling his shirt over his head and wiggling out of his pajama pants. "This is so ridiculous...it's not like Mika will care about how I look, anyway." he thought to himself as he took the clothes off of their hangers and he threw them on. He swung the curtain open, stepping out of the room. "Well?" he asked, resting a hand on his jutted out hip as he shot a look at Shinya, who had made himself comfortable on one of the white couches in the dressing room space. "Hm..." Shinya eyed the outfit. "Turn for me." he said. Yuu sighed before turning, listening to how Shinya would let out small 'hmmms' every once in a while. "I mean, it looks nice and all, but it screams more 'I'm going to a live concert' than 'I'm going to the aquarium.'" Shinya pointed out. "Does the mood really matter?" Yuu asked, glaring at his reflection in the triptych style mirror. "Yes, it does! Now, change over into this. I don't really like that outfit." Shinya said, nodding his head over at the blue and white gradient pattern turtleneck and dark denim high rise jeans that he had strung over the couch. Yuu sighed before taking the outfit and heading back into the dressing room. He quickly stripped out of those clothes and put on the new pair, stepping out to show Shinya. "Nah, it's too wintery. Try the next one." Shinya said. Yuu came out in the red and navy blue asymmetrical striped top and khaki trousers. "Eh, it looks like a lazy day by a lakehouse. Try on the next one." Yuu came out in a white shirt tunic that had red lipstick prints on it and black tights that had rhinestones covering it starting from the knees down to his feet. "Too lazy looking. Next one." Yuu came out in a white Stranger Things t-shirt, a black tuxedo vest that had a black sequin collar, and tight, black high rise skinny jeans that had two zippers on each pocket. "Okay, that looks quite dressy for an aquarium. Next!" Yuu groaned as he stepped back into the dressing room with the next outfit. "Ugh, when this is over, I am going to collapse onto my bed and call it a day." Yuu thought to himself as he took off the other clothes and put on the final outfit that Shinya wanted him to try on. He stepped out, watching as Shinya looked up from his phone. "...What about this one?" Yuu asked, tugging on the sleeve of the cardigan he had on. Shinya blinked twice before his eyes sparkles with glee. "Yes, yes, this is it!" he leapt up from his seat and he dashed over to Yuu, observing the outfit from all angles. "It's cozy and perfect for the autumn weather while also looking casual enough for a day at the aquarium! And if we take into the account that each piece was on clearance with the jeans being eleven dollars, the cardigan being thirteen dollars, and the shirt being twenty dollars..." Shinya quickly calculated the price in his head before grinning. "...It all comes up to approximately forty-four dollars! What a steal!" Shinya gushed excitedly. Yuu swore that Shinya's eyes had grown to be so big that they might explode out of his eye sockets due to how excited he was. Shinya clasped Yuu's hands, his eyes still sparkling. "We are so buying this outfit and you are so wearing it tomorrow. I will make sure of it!" he let go of Yuu's hands. "Now, change back into your clothes so we can pay and go eat. Apparently, the food court has this place where they make some absolutely delicious curry." he said. "Curry?!" Yuu exclaimed, his ears perking up once the word escaped Shinya's mouth. "Yes, curry. Now, if you don't hurry up, we might not even get curry." Shinya said. Yuu could only nod his head furiously as he dashed back into the dressing room, his mind constantly thinking about curry as he quickly stripped and put back on his pajamas. =============================================================================== Mika skidded around the corner, making a mad dash down the sidewalk as he glanced down at his watch. "Shit...it's 12:26! I hope Yuu's not waiting on me...that would look so bad..." he thought to himself. He looked up from his watch, seeing the aquarium come into view. "Ah! There's the aquarium!" he thought to himself. He got closer and closer to the aquarium as he saw Yuu on a bench by some potted flowers, scrolling through his phone. "Yuu-chan!" he called out. Yuu looked up from his phone and smiled. "Ah, Mika!" he called out. As he began to make his way over to him, he couldn't help but take in Yuu's attire, which consisted of a black and white plaid flannel button up shirt that had a ruffle on one side of the shirt, a cream colored wool and cashmere cardigan over the shirt, black skinny jeans that had some tears in the knee sections, and black velvet combat lace-up boots. Yuu just looked so stunning that it nearly blew Mika's breath away. "Damn, he looks beautiful." he then looked at his attire, which consisted of a white shirt, a baby blue and white plaid button down shirt over it, faded jeans, and black Vans. For some reason, he felt very under dressed for this date of theirs. "I feel like I should've put more effort into my outfit." he thought to himself. "Did I keep you waiting too long?" Mika asked as he approached Yuu. "No, I just got here." Yuu said. They both stood there in an awkward silence, not sure of what to say. Yuu got ready to open his mouth as a voice reached their ears. "Heh...I didn't know you had invited Mika..." Mika jolted, noticing that they weren't alone. He looked over Yuu's shoulder to see Shinoa and the others. He arched a brow in confusion. "What the hell? I thought it was just going to be the two of us." he thought to himself. "Oh, Mika's here, too?" Mitsuba asked. "Yuu, how come you didn't say anything about this?" Kimizuki asked. "Yeah, how come you didn't tell me that this was actually going to be a group date rather than a normal date between two people?" Mika wanted to voice his question, but he kept it to himself as Yuu laughed nervously. "I totally forgot to say something. Sorry about that." he said. Mika narrowed his eyes at him. "Like hell he forgot. He probably didn't mention me on purpose. And he most definitely didn't mention Shinoa and the others to me on purpose, as well." he thought to himself. "Mika? Is something the matter? You look quite bothered." Yuu noted. "N-Nothing's bothering me. I'm alright." Mika said. "I'm glad. I began to think something was wrong for a second there." Yuu said. "Yes, something is very wrong here. It was supposed to be me and you on this date and now it's me and you and Shinoa and the others." Mika thought to himself. He felt this indescribable rage begin to bubble up inside of him as Yuu turned to look at Kimizuki. "How far up in line is Yoichi?" he asked. "Let me check here..." Kimizuki turned to look at the long line at the aquarium entrance. "He's almost there. I suggest we get in line beside him." he said. "Okay, sounds good." Yuu then looked over at Mika. "Come on, let's go join Yoichi in the line." he said. "O-Okay." Mika replied as he followed Yuu and the others, trying his best to keep his anger and annoyance at bay. They slipped into the line, joining Yoichi at the very front. "I almost thought you guys weren't going to get in line." Yoichi noted. "Apparently, Yuu invited someone to join us." Kimizuki explained. "He did?" Yoichi looked over at Yuu, spotting Mika beside him. "Ah, what a surprise! Hello, Mika!" Yoichi greeted. "Hey." Mika replied. They reached the counter a couple of minutes later. "Hi, I'd like to get six adult tickets, please." Yoichi said. "Okay." the lady behind the window typed away on her keyboard. "That will be $97.10, please." she said. "Holy shit, that's quite a bit." Mitsuba whispered to Yuu. Yuu nodded as he pulled out his wallet and he began to dig through it. He pulled out a ten dollar bill and a five dollar bill as Mika spoke. "How much is a ticket?" Mika asked. "It's $15.60. Yoichi said he'll pay for the tax." Yuu explained. "Okay." Mika replied before fishing out fifteen dollars, two quarters, and one dime. Everyone put their money up and the lady took it, printing off their tickets in the process. "Here are your tickets. Have a great day at the Owari Aquarium!" she said. "Thanks!" Yoichi said as they made their way to the entrance. Yoichi pushed the door open, revealing a pair of escalators that went up. They got on the escalator and they began to go up. "Oh, I'm so excited!" Yuu exclaimed. Mika stayed silent, glancing at Yuu as they continued up the escalator, some fish tanks coming into view. "Ah! I see the fish!" Mitsuba exclaimed as they reached the top. "Whoa..." Yuu's eyes sparkled as he looked around in awe.  "So cool!" Yoichi exclaimed. "I'm ready to explore!" Yuu declared. "Now, now, we'll be able to explore. But, for right now, we need to get some maps and stick together. The aquarium seems to be quite packed today." Shinoa said. "Okay." Yuu and Yoichi both said in unison as they began to walk off in search of some maps. =============================================================================== About half an hour had passed since they had arrived at the aquarium. The more time had passed, the more annoyed Mika was getting by the whole situation. He stood back a little, watching as Yuu and Yoichi looked at the sharks, stingrays, and other fish swimming about in one of the massive displays. "I need to get Yuu alone with me somehow. This was meant to be a date, after all." he thought to himself. He continued to look at Yuu, burning a hole into the back of his head as he watched him nudge Yoichi lightly. "And he's also way too close to Yoichi! It's bothering the living heck out of me!" Mika thought to himself. He frowned down at the map he had picked up as he heard Shinoa speak. "Okay, who needs to go to the bathroom?" she asked. "I need to go!" Yuu declared. "Okay, you hurry up and go. We're going to see the stingray feeding after this." she said. Mika watched as Yuu began to make a beeline for the restroom. As Yuu disappeared amongst the crowd, an idea hit Mika. "That's it! Maybe I can pretend that I need to use the restroom and then, once he exits the bathroom, I can grab him and then take him somewhere where we can be alone!" he thought to himself. He glanced over at Shinoa as he began to speak. "Um, Shinoa? I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear what you had said before." he said, choosing to play ignorant for the time being. "Ah, I was just saying that if you need to use the restroom, then you have to go now because we're going to see the stingray feeding just now." Shinoa explained. "Oh, I see. Now that you brought it up, I think I need to go to the restroom, as well." Mika said. "Well, you better hurry up because we're going to get going just now." Shinoa said. "Okay, thanks." Mika thanked her before heading off in the direction of the bathroom.  He arrived a couple of minutes later and he lingered around the entrance, waiting for Yuu to come out. "Just a little longer and I can put this plan into action..." he thought to himself. He then watched as the door to the men's restroom was pushed open, revealing Yuu. "Aha. Time to get to work." he thought to himself before reaching out and grabbing Yuu's wrist. "What the- - -ack!" Yuu let out a yelp as he was yanked back and he slammed into a chest. He rose his head up and he gaped, seeing who exactly had pulled him back. "Mi-Mika!" he stammered out. "Yes, it's me, Yuu-chan." Mika said. "Holy shit, you totally scared me. I thought that someone was trying to kidnap me for a second there." Yuu said with a small laugh. "You know, that actually doesn't sound like a bad idea." Mika stated. Yuu blinked up at him in confusion. "Huh?" he questioned. "It's nothing." Mika replied. "Okay...well, we should go back. Shinoa and the others are probably waiting for us." Yuu suggested. However, Mika wouldn't let go of his wrist. This made Yuu eye him weirdly. "Mika?" he questioned. "I'm not letting you go back there." Mika said suddenly. "Huh? Just what is that supposed to- - -Ah!" a gasp escaped Yuu's lips as Mika began to drag him in the opposite direction of where Shinoa and the others were waiting for them. "M-Mika! That's not where Shinoa and the others are!" he exclaimed. "And I believe I said that we're not going back there." Mika said. "But- - -" Mika cut him off. "It was only supposed to be the two of us, wasn't it, Yuu-chan?" Mika asked. Yuu bit his lip, knowing that Mika was right. "Y...Yes...Yes, I guess it was..." he trailed off. They found themselves in front of a directory board a few moments later. "Okay, so let's see here..." Mika ran his finger along the directory board. "They have something called the sea life tunnel and then they have penguins and apparently, there are two theaters with one showing a documentary and the other one being a 4D ride..." Mika murmured. "Did you just say penguins?" Yuu asked. "I did, yeah. Why?" Mika asked. "I like penguins, so...if you don't mind..." Yuu looked away. "Maybe we can go see them?" he suggested. "Yeah, we definitely can." Mika found himself slipping his hand into Yuu's. "Shall we go?" he asked. Yuu's heart began to race, his cheeks growing warm at the feeling of Mika's fingers intertwined with his own. He stared at Mika, lips slightly parted like he wished to say something. However, the moment was ruined by the sound of a stomach grumbling. Yuu's cheeks turned a deep shade of red in embarrassment. Mika couldn't help but chuckle. "That's cute. Are you hungry?" he asked. "It...It's not cute..." Yuu shot a pout in his direction. "And yes, I am indeed hungry." he stated. "Okay. Well, it says here on the directory that they have a restaurant on the upper level of the aquarium that overlooks the many tanks of fish that they have. It's also close to the penguin exhibit. Do you want to go there and eat?" Mika asked. "Yeah, I guess we can do that. Lead the way, Mika." Yuu said. "Okay, Yuu-chan." Mika replied as they began to walk in the direction of the stairs, which would take them to the restaurant. =============================================================================== Yuu watched a puffer fish float about in the water under a school of small fish as he sipped on his strawberry lemonade. He would occasionally peek at Mika, watching how Mika's eyes would dart around the menu he held in his hand. "This is so awkward..." he thought to himself as he began to twiddle with his thumbs. He grabbed for his menu in an attempt to distract himself as their waitress approached their table with a platter filled with calamari. "And here is your calamari. Would you like to take your order now?" she asked. "Yes, I think we're ready. Aren't we, Yuu-chan?" Mika asked. "Ah...Um, yes, we are." Yuu replied. "Okay, so what can I get started for you guys?" she asked, pulling out a notepad and a pen. "I'll have the seafood curry." Yuu said. "And I'll have the fish and chips plate." Mika said. "Okay..." the waitress finished jotting everything down. "I'll get those started for you two!" she said before heading off. Yuu took another sip from his strawberry lemonade before reaching for some pieces of calamari, dropping them onto the small plate in front of him. He also grabbed for a lemon wedge, squeezing the juice on top before dipping one into the marinara sauce. He popped it into his mouth as he watched Mika stir his sweet tea with his straw. After a while, Mika opened his mouth. "So..." he trailed off. Yuu glanced at Mika, knowing exactly what he was going to say. "We need to talk." the two of them spoke in unison. Mika arched a brow at him, poking at the lemon floating above the sweetened amber liquid with his straw. "You can go first." he said. "No, you go first! You're probably very frustrated." Yuu said as he dipped another piece of calamari into the marinara sauce. Mika sighed as he took some pieces of calamari and put them on his plate. "I'm not exactly frustrated, but I am indeed very confused." Mika said. Yuu watched Mika take a sip from his sweet tea before he continued speaking. "Why in the world did you not tell me that your friends were going to be there? Actually," Mika rested his glass down on the table, "why don't you start from the beginning?" he suggested. "O-Okay..." Yuu bit into another piece of calamari, the tangy taste of the lemon tickling his taste buds. "So, if I'm being honest, Shinoa had been planning this get together at the aquarium for a while now." Yuu admitted. "Okay..." Mika trailed off as he sprinkled some salt and pepper on top of his calamari. "However, she didn't figure out an exact time and date at the time besides that she wanted to do it sometime during the break. So, we all waited on her to come up with the details. Then, you messaged me and asked me out to the aquarium. After you had sent me the details, I got a group text from Shinoa and the others with Shinoa giving me details that matched up with yours. So, you see, I was stuck in a dilemma. I wanted to hang out with Shinoa and the others, but I also wanted to spend the day with you. Like I said, Shinoa had been planning this for a while. But also, it's not everyday you get asked on a date by 'the' Mikaela Shindo, anyway." Yuu began. "So? What was the conclusion you came to?" Mika asked. "I decided that it wouldn't hurt to combine both events. It was like the best of both worlds. However, I chose not to tell them that you would also be there and vice versa." Yuu explained. "And? What was your reason for not saying anything?" Mika asked. "Well..." Yuu glanced down at his half empty plate, refusing to meet Mika's gaze. "I...I wasn't sure if I was ready to be alone with you at the time..." he trailed off. "What do you mean?" Mika asked. "Well...after what happened at the hotel, you were in such a terrible mood and I felt like I had upset you so much and I assumed that you were angry with me. So, I thought that maybe if I had Shinoa and the others with me, then it wouldn't be so awkward between us for the whole day and also that the subject wouldn't have been brought up." Yuu explained. "Were you really dwelling on that incident still?" Mika asked. "Huh? Aren't you?" Yuu asked. He felt Mika's fingers brush against his chin and gingerly lift his head up to look at him. Yuu's heart skipped a beat at the way Mika's gaze softened once their eyes locked on one another. "I'm fine now. I've come to realize that I was at fault, as well." Mika said. "But...I didn't use the safe word when I should've..." Yuu trailed off. "But, I had also noticed how much pain you were in, but I didn't take any action to stop what I was doing." Mika countered. "So...I guess we're both at fault here..." Yuu trailed off with a small chuckle. "Yeah, I guess we are." Mika popped a piece of calamari into his mouth. "So, are we cool now?" he asked. "Well, if you're cool, then I am, as well." Yuu replied. "Okay, if you say so." Mika said. They continued to munch on their calamari, making light conversation as they sipped on their drinks. The waitress came back with their meals afterwards and collected their empty appetizer plates and calamari platter, leaving them by themselves once again. Yuu's eyes sparkled as he looked down at the plate of curry before him. "Mmmmm, it looks so good!" he gushed excitedly. Mika smiled softly as he looked at him. "Do you happen to like curry, Yuu-chan?" he asked. Yuu nodded his head eagerly. "Yeah! If I could eat one thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I would most definitely eat curry!" Yuu declared. "You really love curry, don't you?" Mika guessed. "Yup, I sure do!" Yuu replied. Mika couldn't help but laugh. "That's quite cute, Yuu-chan." he stated. Yuu blushed a little as he lowered his gaze down to his plate, poking at a prawn with his fork. "Y-You think I'm cute...?" he asked. "I do. I think you're absolutely adorable, Yuu-chan." Mika replied. Yuu swore that his cheeks had gotten warmer in response to Mika's compliment as he began to dig into his food. Mika sliced into his breaded fish, dipping a piece into some tarter sauce and putting it into his mouth. "Mmmmm, this is some pretty good fish and chips." Mika commented as he also bit into his fries. "Oh, does it now?" Yuu asked. "It does. How is your curry?" Mika asked. "Simply outstanding." Yuu brought some rice, a piece of prawn, and a couple pieces of octopus into his mouth. "Do you want to try some of my curry?" Yuu asked. "Huh? Are you sure?" Mika asked. "I am." Yuu scooped up some rice along with some saucesand a mussel he had dug out from its shell. "Now, say 'ahhh...'" Yuu said, lifting the spoon up and bringing it towards Mika's mouth. "Ah..." Mika trailed off as he took the spoonful of curry into his mouth. Yuu pulled the spoon out, watching as Mika let out a contented hum.  "That is some good curry." he said. He then cut into another piece of his fish. "Do you want some of my fish?" he asked. "If...If you don't mind..." Yuu trailed off. "I wouldn't be asking if I did mind." Mika said as he dipped the piece of fish into the tarter sauce and he brought the fork up to Yuu's mouth. Yuu took the piece of fish into his mouth, chewing slowly. "Mmmm, that is good. Actually, all of the food is good." Yuu sighed happily as he dug into another spoonful of the curry. "Ah, if only we had a seafood restaurant like this in town..." he trailed off. "There's nothing like this in town?" Mika questioned. "Not that I know of, no." Yuu replied. "Then, you obviously haven't been to The Seafood Shack." Mika said. "The Seafood Shack?" Yuu asked. "Yeah. It's about a two minute drive from my house." Mika dipped a fry into some ketchup. "Maybe I'll take you there sometime." he suggested. Yuu eyed Mika, cutting into another prawn. "Are you asking me on another date, Mika?" he asked. Mika shrugged. "Maybe I am." he glanced over at him. "Would you like to go on another date with me?" he asked. Yuu couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, I would like that." he said as they continued eating, slipping into a comfortable silence. =============================================================================== After Mika had paid for their lunch (Yuu wanted to pay for his share but gave up after five minutes due to Mika insisting that he would pay for the both of them) and taking a slight detour to the auditorium to watch a twenty minute documentary, they had found themselves by the penguin exhibit. Yuu's eyes sparkled as he rested his hands against the glass of the exhibit. "Wow! The penguins are so cute!" Yuu gushed excitedly as he watched one of the penguins slide down a slide made out of ice and into the water. Mika couldn't help but smile as he watched Yuu get excited over the penguins. He then looked to his left, noticing something. "Ah, Yuu-chan." he reached out to pat on Yuu's shoulder lightly. "Look, it seems like they're having a penguin feeding session soon." he said. "What?! Really?!" Yuu exclaimed, whirling around to look at Mika. "Yeah. There's a sign right there." Mika said, pointing at a sign that explained what the event was about. "Wow...so, we can have the chance to feed the penguins?" Yuu asked. "Yeah. Normally, it's something you have to pay extra for, but for today, you can do it for free." Mika explained. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. "Do you...want to do it?" Mika asked. "Can we?!" Yuu gushed excitedly. "We can, if you want to." Mika said. "Of course I want to!" Yuu reached for Mika's hand. "Come on, let's go!" he declared as he pulled Mika along with him. "Ah! Slow down a bit, Yuu-chan!" Mika exclaimed. They arrived at the spot where the penguin feeding was going to take place. "Hello, are you guys here for the penguin feeding?" the woman by the door to the penguin exhibit asked. "Yes, we are." Mika replied. "Well, you two are just in time! We just finished up a feeding session, so we can now take you guys to the back." the woman explained. "Are there more penguins in the back?" Yuu asked. The woman nodded in response. "Yes, there are. However, it is very cold in the back, so we'll have you guys dressed appropriately before you go and feed the penguins." the woman said. "Okay, that sounds good." Mika said. "Well, come on in." the woman opened the door for them. "Aiden will be taking care of you from here on out." she said. "Thank you very much." Mika thanked her as him and Yuu stepped inside, the woman closing the door behind them. They were then approached by a male with black hair and blue eyes wearing a blue jumper, black boots, and a pair of black gloves. "Hello! My name is Aiden and I will be assisting you with your penguin feeding session today. May I get your names, please?" Aiden asked. "I'm Mika and this is Yuu." Mika said. "Ah, nice to meet you, Mika and Yuu. Now, if you'd like to follow me this way, we'll get you dressed in appropriate attire so that we can go and feed the penguins." Aiden explained. "Okay." Mika said as they followed Aiden over to a small room. "We have floor length hooded ponchos available for use along with rubber boots and gloves. However, since we're not going into the exhibit itself, you won't be needing the boots. Put the poncho and gloves on and then we can begin to prepare the food for the penguins." Aiden instructed. "Okay, sounds good." Mika said as Aiden left the two of them alone in the room. He glanced over at Yuu before speaking. "We should put on the ponchos and gloves." he suggested. "Yeah." Yuu replied as he reached for the poncho hanging on a coat tree by some lockers. They slipped on their gloves and they threw on the poncho over their clothes. They stepped out of the room and they made their way over to Aiden, who had begun to pull out an empty red bucket. "We're ready to go now." Mika said. "Okay, then!" Aiden picked up the bucket. "Come with me. I'll show you how we pick our fish and what we do to the fish so that the penguins are getting enough vitamins." he said. Mika and Yuu followed Aiden over to where they kept the fish for the penguins. Aiden then reached into his pocket and he pulled out a plastic bag that had capsule-shaped vitamins. "These are the vitamins for the penguins. We put them into the gills of the fish so that the penguins get their vitamins. However, the surface of the fish is quite slippery and sometimes the vitamin will refuse to stay in, so be careful with how you put the vitamin into the gill." Aiden warned. "Okay." Yuu said as they began to put the vitamins into the gills of the fish. Once they were done, they went over to where they were keeping the penguins that weren't on display. Yuu gushed excitedly as he raced over to where the penguins were with Mika calling for him to slow down and to wait up. Aiden showed them how to feed the penguins and the feeding session began. After a while, Mika had decided to let Yuu take over and he stood back a little after going to wash his hands, watching how Yuu chatted with Aiden and petted some of the penguins. Yuu cooed at them as he fed them the fish, which made him smile. "He's smiling...and I was the one that brought that smile out." he felt a warm feeling begin to bubble in his chest. "Is this what it feels like to be the one to make him happy?" he thought to himself. He couldn't help but take his phone out and snap a shot of Yuu petting one of the penguins. He took another picture of him feeding another penguin as he turned to look at Mika. "Mika, are you seriously taking a photo of me?" Yuu asked in surprise. "I am." Mika replied. "Why, though?" Yuu asked. "Because you looked very cute." Mika said. Mika watched as Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red. He diverted his gaze as he went back to feeding the penguins. Mika smiled as he looked over at Aiden. "Hey, would you mind taking a photo of us?" he asked. "Why, of course!" Aiden said as he took Mika's phone from hum. "Thanks." he made his way over to Yuu and he tapped on his shoulder. "Hey, I need you to turn around for me." he said. "Huh? Why?" Yuu asked. "I'm having Aiden take a photo of us." Mika replied. "Okay." Yuu said as he turned around. "Okay, now smile!" Aiden said. Mika pulled Yuu closer to him, beaming at the phone camera as Aiden took the picture. =============================================================================== Yuu hugged the penguin plush that he had gotten as a commemorative present from the penguin feeding session as him and Mika walked down the sidewalk side by side. After the penguin feeding session, Mika had taken Yuu on one of the 4D rides, carried him to see more exhibits, and shopped with him at the gift store. By the time all that was done, it had already grown dark outside. Mika had offered to walk Yuu back to his house, hence this current predicament. Yuu nuzzled his cheeks against the plush penguin as he spoke. "Are you sure you want to walk me home?" he asked. "I'm sure. Besides, I would start to worry if I just let you walk back home all by yourself this late at night." Mika pointed out. "But, it's only seven thirty..." Yuu trailed off. "Even if that is so, it's still pitch black out here. I don't want you getting kidnapped." Mika pointed out. "I...I see..." Yuu murmured, gripping the penguin plush tighter. Mika stuffed his hands into his pants pockets as he spoke. "Are you sure you didn't want to stop off at a restaurant and eat dinner?" Mika asked. "I'm sure. Besides, Shinya's making lamb curry tonight!" Yuu chirped excitedly. Mika chuckled. "You really love curry, don't you, Yuu-chan?" he asked. Yuu nodded his head. "Yup!" he declared, a wide smile spread across his face. A small blush dusted Mika's cheeks at how happy Yuu looked. He looked up at the starless sky, a comfortable silence falling over them. After twenty five minutes of walking, they had begun to approach Yuu's house. They made their way up the driveway and over to the front door. Yuu turned to look at Mika. "I had lots of fun today, Mika." he said. "I'm glad you had fun." Mika said. "I mean, Shinoa and the others were there for the first half of the day, but it was still fun having you around..." Yuu trailed off. He then glanced down the road. "Mika, how are you going to get home?" he asked. "Ah, I'll just call for an Uber." Mika said. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. An awkward silence began to hang over them. Yuu toed the concrete front step while Mika played a little with the pockets of his pants, nervous jitters rolling through his body. After a while, Yuu opened his mouth. "Um...Mika?" he spoke up. "Yeah, Yuu-chan?" Mika responded. "So...what story number was this, exactly?" Yuu asked. Mika blinked his eyes twice, staring at Yuu like he had told him some very baffling news. "Story number?" Mika asked. "Yeah. Which story in my binder did you decide to go off of this time? Because if this is the one where we try to fuck in my bedroom with Guren downstairs, just know that we will have absolutely zero time for tha- - -" Mika cut him off. "This is not from any of the stories." Mika stated. "It isn't?" Yuu questioned. "No, it isn't." Mika said. "Oh..." Yuu trailed off as he ran his tongue along his bottom lip. Mika couldn't help but watch how Yuu's tongue trailed along his bottom lip, making it look shiny. It felt like Yuu was trying to tease him and tempt him into kissing those thin, rosy pink lips. He bit down on his lip as Yuu spoke. "Then...why? If it's not from any of my stories, then why did you ask me on a date to the aquarium?" Yuu asked. "Yuu-chan, it doesn't seem like you get it yet." Mika began. He moved his hand up to rest on Yuu's shoulder. Yuu tensed at the touch as Mika stared at him, his piercing gaze boring holes into his emerald green eyes. "I asked you on this date because I wanted to go on a date with you, Yuu-chan." he said before moving in to close the distance between the two of them. Yuu had little time to react as Mika cupped his cheek with his other hand and their lips came together in a kiss. Yuu could feel his heart leap at the sudden kiss and fireworks burst inside his stomach. Their lips were slotted perfectly together and the taste of blue raspberry on Mika's lips made Yuu feel like he was floating on cloud nine. The plush penguin fell out of his hand as Mika slowly pulled away from the kiss. Yuu's eyes slowly fluttered open (he honestly didn't know when he had closed them) as he watched Mika, whose cheeks looked just as flushed as his own cheeks were. Mika quickly willed away the blush and he smiled. "Good night, Yuu-chan." he said before making his way back down the small steps and down the driveway. Yuu was glued to the spot, the kiss shocking him greatly. He watched Mika disappear around the corner before he found the courage to make his way inside. He picked up the penguin plush and he made his way over to the door, unlocking it with his pair of keys and stepping inside. Shinya poked his head out from inside the kitchen. "Ah! Yuu's back!" he exclaimed. He disappeared back into the kitchen for a few seconds before stepping out and making his way over to him. "How was your date with Mika?! Did it go well?" he asked, immediately bombarding him with questions. However, Yuu didn't respond, his mind easily thinking back on that kiss he shared with Mika mere seconds ago. The kiss was a little clumsy, but it was still mind blowing. "Hm? Yuu?" Shinya spoke. Yuu didn't seem to hear what Shinya had said as his hand flew up to his lips, another red blush dancing across his cheeks. Chapter End Notes And the long awaited kiss has finally happened!...And holy hell, this chapter is almost at 9k words. Come shout at me on Tumblr at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ ***** Just a Touch of Your Love ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, fluff, brief mentions of rape fantasy (it's extremely brief) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter of IASWASB. So, I've estimated that this story might finish up in either February or March, depending on my schedule. That might change, though... Also, I've got news: I received fanart for this fanfic! It's of them in their outfits from the previous chapter. Like, I'm totally over the moon right now. It was done by erzathefairytailmonster (I sincerely hoped I spelled that right). You can view it here: https:// erzathefairytailmonster.tumblr.com/post/169788331116/mika-and-yuu- from-iaswasb-for-thisoneyaoifangirl I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D *UPDATE: I changed the vase of flowers to bouquet of flowers because I had someone point out that a vase of flowers on a desk signifies death (or the phrase "I wish you were dead" if the person was alive) and this is something I definitely should've known; so sorry about that!* (01-21-2018) See the end of the chapter for more notes During the break, Yuu had gotten together with Yoichi and the others, the five of them choosing to celebrate Thanksgiving at Yuu's house. He had even apologized to them for vanishing out of the blue when they had gone to the aquarium. But, during the remainder of the break, he would continue to recall was the kiss him and Mika shared that evening after their supposed date at the aquarium.  It was a clumsy kiss, of course. But, the kiss felt right. His lips tingled at the memory of the kiss. He ran a finger along his lips as he recalled what Mika had said just moments before they kissed. "Yuu-chan, it doesn't seem like you get it yet. I asked you on this date because I wanted to go on a date with you, Yuu-chan." Mika's words swirled about in his head as he let out a small squeal. "He actually kissed me! Oh my god!" he thought to himself as he reached for his pillow and smothered his face in it. He breathed into the pillow as he began to think. "He actually wanted to go on a date with me of his own will...but, just what exactly does it all mean?" he rolled onto his back, his face still hidden in the pillow. "Could it be that he might be actually feeling something for me?" he asked himself. Yuu quickly shook his head, dismissing that thought. "No, that can't be it. There's no way someone as awesome as him is feeling something for someone as lame as me..." he pulled the pillow off of his face, sighing. "But, it surely did feel like it. I just hope that he isn't giving me false hope before crushing them when the time is right..." he thought to himself. He rolled over onto his side as his bedroom door opened. "Oi, you better be thinking about heading to bed soon. We've got school tomorrow." Guren called out. "I should be saying the same to you. Shinya's spending the night, after all." Yuu pointed out, raising his head up to glance at a flustered Guren. "Oi, you shut up. Don't stay up too late writing your gay porn, you hear me?" Guren said before stepping out of the room. "Shut up, you idiot Guren!" Yuu snapped as he reached for his pillows and threw it, the pillow hitting the now closed door. Yuu groaned as he rolled onto his stomach. "Gosh, he's such an idiot...like he thinks that I don't know that I have to go to class tomorrow!" he thought to himself. He got up from his bed, stretching. "Well, I should change over into my pajamas and go to sleep...classes do start early, after all..." he thought to himself before grabbing for a pair of pajamas in his dresser and heading into his bathroom, closing the door behind him. =============================================================================== Abrupt wake up calls were never Yuu's thing. Especially when one of them involves a very disheveled-looking Guren shouting in your ear to "wake the fuck up" because they'll be late at this point. Yuu threw a black Darth Vader shirt on and he slipped into a pair of torn, faded skinny jeans, putting on a pair of black Vans and heading out of his bedroom, grabbing up his backpack in the process. He quickly made his way down the stairs as he spotted Guren fumbling to put his shoes on and Shinya shrugging on his navy blue peacoat. He glanced over at Yuu, smiling. "Good morning, Yuu! I do apologize for that loud wake up call. I hope it didn't startle you." Shinya apologized. "More like my soul escaped my body for a split second during that wake up call." Yuu stated. Shinya laughed as he handed Yuu a couple slices of bread coated with a peach marmalade spread. "Snack on these. They should hold you up until lunch." Shinya explained. "Thanks." Yuu said, taking the bread slices from him. They managed to get out of the house and over to Guren's red Subaru, slipping into the vehicle. Guren started up the engine while they all buckled in their seat belts. "You guys better tighten your seat belts and hold onto your seats cuz this is going to be one bumpy ride." Guren warned. Yuu bit off a corner of the first slice of bread, mentally bracing himself for the amount of speeding Guren would have to do in order to get to school on time. He nearly choked on his piece of bread, the sharp turns taking him by surprise. They managed to get to the school building in a matter of ten minutes (Yuu swore that if they had gotten here any later than that, they really would've been late). Shinya stepped out of the vehicle, the cool autumn breeze blowing his hair about. "Okay, I've gotta head to the counseling office. You'll drive me back to my house after classes, right?" Shinya asked, looking over at Guren. "Of course I will." Guren stated. Shinya smiled as he leaned in to press a loving kiss to Guren's lips. "See you then, Guren." Shinya said before heading off in the direction of the counseling wing. Guren ran his fingers through his slightly messy locks while Yuu resisted the urge to gag at the sickeningly sweet display of affection (even though he supported Guren and Shinya's relationship through and through). "Oi, stop pretending to gag and get your ass to class already." Guren barked out, nudging Yuu in the back roughly. "You guys can be so disgustingly cute sometimes..." Yuu mumbled. "You're just jealous cuz your love life isn't going anywhere." Guren jeered. He then yelped, feeling Yuu's foot connect with his knee. He nearly slumped against the vehicle as Yuu spoke. "You're such an idiot, Guren!" Yuu snapped before marching off with an aggravated huff. He crossed his arms over his chest as he walked into the school building, making his way to his first class. The classroom was nearly full by the time he made it. Shinoa waved him over to their lab table. "Gosh, I seriously thought that you weren't going to make it..." she trailed off. "Guren and Shinya were busy sleeping around and forgot to wake me up." Yuu explained. "Ah,I see." Shinoa stated. He reached to unzip his backpack and pulled out his notebook and pencil case as he took notice of the bouquet of flowers before him. "Shinoa? What's up with the flowers?" he asked. "Oh, those? They were here when I got to class. I don't know who put them there." Shinoa pointed out with the wave of her hand. "I...I see..." Yuu trailed off as he sat down. He picked up the bouquet, inspecting the bright flowers. He inhaled the sweet scene of a white chrysanthemum as he looked around the classroom for who might've gifted him the flowers. His eyes then landed on Mika, who was staring at him. He then watched as a warm smile spread across Mika's lips, causing Yuu's heart to nearly skip a beat. "Did he...give me the flowers?" he asked himself. He pointed at the flowers, watching Mika nod as he winked at him. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as he looked back at the bouquet, the scent of the chrysanthemum filling his nostrils as the teacher walked in and class begun. =============================================================================== Mitsuba observed the bouquet of flowers as she slurped up her spicy kimchi noodles during lunch. "Yuu, what's up with the flowers?" she asked. "I got them from an admirer." Yuu replied, dipping a fish stick into some tarter sauce. "An admirer?!" Mitsuba exclaimed. "You have an admirer that isn't Mika?" Kimizuki questioned, looking up from his container of strawberry pudding. "Mi...Mika wasn't even admiring me to begin with..." Yuu murmured. "Well, it seems like someone really likes you, Yuu." Yoichi poked at one of his spicy kimchi noodles with his pair of chopsticks. "Do you know who it's from?" he asked. "Someone in my Chemistry class." Yuu replied. "Hm, it seems like you and your admirer have got quite the chemistry, if ya know what I mean." Mitsuba said with the wiggle of her eyebrows. Yuu's cheeks flushed a deep red as he tried to shoot his best glare at her. "Sh-Shut up! Also, that pun was really cheesy and stupid!" he snapped, causing Mitsuba to cackle like a hyena as he felt his phone vibrate in his jeans pocket. He pulled it out and his heart skipped a beat, seeing that he had received a text from Mika. [12:35:07pm] library in 5. "The library...?" he muttered under his breath. "Why the library?" he asked himself. He slipped his phone back into his jeans pocket as he finished up his lunch. He then stood up, confusing the others. "Yuu?" Yoichi asked. "I need to head to the library." Yuu swung his backpack onto his shoulder and he grabbed for the bouquet of flowers. "I'll see you in class, Yoichi!" Yuu said before heading off. Shinoa arched a brow as she watched Yuu head out of the cafeteria. "What was that supposed to be?" she asked. "Who knows..." Yoichi trailed off. "Do you actually think he's going to the library?" Kimizuki asked. Shinoa shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. It's no use wondering because it's not our business." she stated. "True." Mitsuba agreed. As Shinoa took a sip from her carton of strawberry milk, she spotted Mika also heading out of the cafeteria, a small frown pulling at her lips. =============================================================================== Yuu walked through the aisles of books in search of Mika. "He never told me where in the library to meet him at...Where did he want me to meet him, exactly?" he asked himself. He stepped out of the manga aisle as he heard a voice call out to him. "Yuu-chan, over here." Yuu turned, spotting Mika sitting in a chair by the window. "Mika..." he trailed off. He watched Mika usher for him to come over by him, which is exactly what he did. He rested his backpack and bouquet on the table and he looked at Mika. "You gave me those flowers, didn't you?" he guessed. "I did, yeah." Yuu let out a small gasp as Mika reached for his wrist and he pulled Yuu onto his lap. Yuu sat down, his legs straddling Mika's as he stared down at him. "Do you like them?" Mika asked. "I do. The flowers are absolutely beautiful." he let his arms hang over Mika's shoulders, his fingers loosely hooking together at the nape of Mika's neck.  "But, why did you buy me flowers?" he asked. "I bought them because I wanted to." Mika replied. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. They stares into each others's eyes for what seemed like centuries. That was when Mika broke the silence. "Yuu-chan?" he called out. "Hm?" Yuu hummed out. "Can I kiss you?" he asked. Yuu shivered, feeling Mika's minty breath ghost along his lips. He ran the tip of his tongue along his bottom lip as he nodded. "Yes, you can..." Yuu trailed off. Mika said nothing before moving in towards him. Yuu moved in as well, hoping to help Mika close the distance between them. Their noses brushed lightly before their lips came together in a soft kiss. They pulled away for about a split second before Mika went in for more. Yuu sighed softly into the kiss, relaxing as Mika's arms moved to encircle his waist. He was pulled closer, their bodies pressing against one another as Yuu tilted his head a little to deepen the kiss. His fingers played with the hair on the nape of Mika's neck. "Mmmmm..." Yuu hummed a little as Mika tugged lightly at his bottom lip with his teeth, asking for permission to slip his tongue. Yuu complied, a moan slipping out as Mika's tongue slid in. The kiss gradually grew wet and messy, Mika's tongue stroking Yuu's. Mika then proceeded to swirl his tongue around Yuu's teeth before slowly pulling away from the kiss, leaving them both breathless. Yuu tried to catch his breath, his cheeks flushed red and his lips slightly swollen from the kiss. "Mika..." his hand moved up to press his fingers to his lips. "I never got time to pop in a mint or anything..." he trailed off. "So what? I don't really care if you taste like lunch, you know." Mika pointed out. He nuzzled his nose against Yuu's throat, peppering it lightly with soft pecks. Yuu whined a little as Mika's teeth dragged along the side of his neck. "Mika..." Yuu trailed off, his hips beginning to subconsciously roll into Mika's. Mika let out a small 'tsk, tsk.' "No, Yuu-chan. We're not going to engage in any of that." he pressed his hands down on Yuu's hips lightly, preventing him from bucking his hips into him needily. "All I want to do is kiss you." he stated. "No sex?" Yuu asked. "No sex. Just kissing." Mika removed a hand from Yuu's waist and he brought it up to cup Yuu's cheek, his thumb stroking the rise of Yuu's cheekbone. "Can we do that?" he asked. "Yeah...yeah, we can do that..." Yuu trailed off. Mika smiled. "Okay." he said before moving in and capturing Yuu's lips in yet another kiss. =============================================================================== Everyday after that, Yuu would receive flowers from Mika before his first class. They would also slip away from the cafeteria during lunch break to make out in whichever secluded corner of the school that they chose (they seemed the prefer the library more than anything, though). They acted like a couple who had finally reunited after several years of being apart: they just couldn't their hands (and mouths) away from each other. Yuu laughed at the irony of it all. They weren't even an official couple and yet they acted like one. It made Yuu want to burst into uncontrollable laughter at the thought. He looked at the small bouquet of lilies and daisies that he had gotten this morning as his phone went off, signaling that he had gotten a text. He pulled his phone out, reading the text. [12:38:37pm] library now. "Well, someone seems eager..." Yuu muttered under his breath. "Hm? Did you say something, Yuu?" Yoichi asked. "Huh?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice, noticing how everyone's eyes were focused on him. "It...It's nothing!" he quickly stood up. "I have to head to the library...I'll catch up with you guys later!" he said before scrambling to grab for his stuff and rushing off. Kimizuki arched a brow at this. "Well, that's interesting." he commented. "He's been doing this for the past few days, too..." Yoichi murmured, poking at his salad with his fork. "What does he even do at the library, anyway?!" Mitsuba asked. Shinoa chose not to answer, her eyes trained on the hallway. With the way her seat was positioned, she was able to see down the hallway clearly, her eyes immediately landing on Yuu, who had caught up with an oddly familiar blond. Her eyes narrowed at this. "He goes off with Mika, huh?" she asked herself, nibbling on a curly fry as she watched them closely. She watched as Yuu beamed up at Mika, leaning into his touch as they disappeared around a corner. "I'm not sure how I feel about them interacting with one another like that, especially since Mika's totally playing with Yuu's feelings for him. But then again..." she thought back to the smile Yuu flashed Mika just moments ago. "I don't think I've seen Yuu look so happy in a little while. Maybe I should leave them alone for now." she reached for her bottle of soda, cracking it open and taking a sip. "I'll tell Yuu everything when the time is right." she thought to herself. =============================================================================== Yuu never thought he would have become addicted to kissing. But, Mika made each and every kiss feel like he was floating on cloud nine. Yuu threaded his fingers through Mika's hair, their teeth and tongues clashing hungrily. Mika ran his tongue along Yuu's teeth before slipping his tongue in, eliciting a sharp gasp from Yuu. Yuu fixed himself on Mika's lap so that he was straddling his hips on the chair.  The kiss blew his mind away and caused him to forget everything that was going on in the world. The moment felt just right, even though he knew that this was only temporary. He knew that Mika was showering affection on him mainly because it was something that Yuu wanted and not because he also harbored feelings for him. In the end, this was all a game and once Mika got bored of it, Yuu was certain that he'd be tossed off to the side and they would go about the rest of their high school years acting like they never engaged in such a scandalous relationship with one another. But, Yuu could at least dream, right? He could dream that Mika reciprocated his feelings, couldn't he? The moment vanished when he heard Mika's phone begin to ring. Mika broke away from the kiss, a string of saliva connecting their lips. "Sorry." the string of saliva snapped. "I need to take this." he said. Yuu nodded his head in understanding before Mika reached for his phone, answering it. "Hello? Crowley? What's up?" Yuu watched as Mika's expression twisted into one of confusion. "Yes, I'm at the library. Why are you asking? Oh. Oh, I see. Yeah, you can definitely come over, if you want. Okay. Okay, see you just now." Mika hung up as Yuu spoke. "What does Crowley want?" Yuu asked. "He needs some advice from me." Mika replied. "I see..." Yuu glanced out the window of the library, watching how the fall leaves swirled about in the wind. "So, I guess that means I'm going to have to go." he said. "Sorry, Yuu-chan." Mika apologized. "It's fine. Besides, it would be hard to explain the whole situation to him, anyway." Yuu said as he slid off of Mika's lap, standing up. He grabbed for his backpack and he got ready to leave when he felt Mika grab his wrist. "Wait, before you go." he said. "Hm?" Yuu questioned as he looked over his shoulder to stare at Mika. That was when Mika pulled Yuu down, closing the distance between them. The kiss was slow and soft, which was way different from the wild kiss they shared just a few moments ago. Mika pulled away from the kiss, his eyes boring into Yuu's. "I'll see you tomorrow." he said. "Yeah..." Yuu breathed out before turning and breezing out of the library, nearly bumping into Crowley at the entrance. "S-Sorry!" Yuu squeaked out before scampering off, hoping that taking a stroll around in the halls would calm his racing heart and will away the bright red blush on his cheeks. =============================================================================== Crowley showed up just minutes after Yuu left. Mika waved him over, a smile pulling at his lips. "You know, it's rare that you're asking me for advice." Mika commented. "Yeah. It's usually you asking us, huh?" Crowley asked. "Yeah." Crowley sat down in the chair across from him as Mika continued to speak. "So, as you came to me with your advice, I am assuming you need help with the whole Ferid situation?" he guessed. Crowley chuckled nervously. "How did you know?" he asked. "The tense atmosphere at lunch is so thick that you could probably slice through it with a knife." Mika commented. "Ah..." Crowley lounged back in his chair. "I kind of wish Ferid would just stop making a damn scene..." he mumbled. "Would you like to explain what exactly happened between the two of you? Krul's kind of worried, as well." Mika requested. "Even Krul's worried?" Crowley asked in astonishment. "Yeah, even she's worried." Mika replied. This made Crowley burst into loud, boisterous laughter (Mika was silently glad that the librarian had gone on her lunch break or else they would've been thoroughly chewed out for Crowley's loud, booming voice). "Ah, if it's even beginning to worry Krul, then this is one serious problem!" Crowley remarked. Mika laughed nervously. "So? What happened?" Mika asked. "Okay. So, do you remember that morning when you came over and asked Ferid for some advice on a very hypothetical situation and Ferid let it slip that he's gay?" Crowley asked. "Ah, yes, I do remember that." Mika replied. "So, once you left, I decided to ask him why he didn't tell me anything. He told me that he kept it a secret because he said that back when we were in seventh grade, I stated that I never wanted to become friends with a homosexual. He then confessed to me out of the blue, which shocked me. I asked him when he was going to tell me any of this and then he just started flying off the handle. All I was thinking at the moment was how to get Ferid to stop talking so that I could at least get my opinion in and before I knew it, I...kissed him..." Crowley admitted. Mika arched a brow. "You...kissed him..." he trailed off. "I did." Crowley said. "And? What happened after that?" Mika asked. "He told me to leave because he wanted some time to himself. So, I did. Now, I don't even know what to do about the situation anymore." Crowley explained. "Okay, before we go any further, I need to ask this question. It's been bugging me ever since you brought up that Ferid confessed his feelings to you." Mika looked at Crowley. "What exactly are your feelings for him?" he asked. "My feelings?" Crowley asked. "Yeah. How do you feel about him?" Mika asked. "Well...I guess you can say that I am quite fond of him..." Crowley trailed off. "So, you also harbor feelings for him." Mika stated. "I don't know if they're romantic or not, but I do feel something for him. I'm actually bisexual and the only time I've ever felt this way around a guy is when I'm with Ferid." Crowley explained. "Then, don't you think that you should communicate that with him?" Mika asked. "Huh?" Crowley blinked his eyes twice at Mika's sudden suggestion. "Tell him how it is you truly feel. Maybe then you both will come to some sort of understanding." Mika suggested. "But, I'm pretty damn sure that Ferid doesn't want to talk to me right now. How do you expect me to start up a conversation with him like that, especially a conversation that is deep like this?" Crowley asked. A small smirk tugged at Mika's lips. "I think I've got an idea." he said. Chapter End Notes AND Mika's getting sneaky... ***** Swirling Emotions ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some fluff Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I'm back with another chapter of IASWASB. So. This may be my last update for about a couple of weeks for two reasons: one, college is being a bitch and my brain is melting because of my game development assignment and two, Chapter 20 is probably going to take a while to write, as many events are going to be occurring in it. I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D Crowley stood in the empty science classroom, waiting for Ferid to come bursting through the door. He played with the hem of his burgundy red sweater as he recalled what Mika had told him yesterday in the library. =============================================================================== "You want to what?" Crowley asked in surprise. Mika nodded. "I'm going to bait Ferid, making him think that I wanted to meet him alone and then leave the two of you alone in one of the classrooms." Mika explained. "Would something like that work?" Crowley asked. "I hope it does. If you really think about it, Ferid is quite gullible." Mika stated. Crowley couldn't help but chuckle. "You were never one to mess with Ferid like that before. What happened to make you change this much?" Crowley asked. Mika chuckled. "I guess you can say that someone changed me for the better." Mika said. =============================================================================== Crowley looked up at the ceiling, his fingers drumming idly along the cool counter top. "Someone changed him for the better, huh...I wonder who that person is...?" he asked himself. That was when the classroom door swung open. Crowley watched as Ferid stepped in, a hand resting on his thigh as he tried to catch his breath. "Mika...Sorry I'm late..." he closed the door behind him. "My last class got out late. So, what is t that you wanted to talk abou- - -" he then stopped, his gaze locking on Crowley's. At that moment, Ferid looked like a deer in the headlights. It was silent between them for what seemed like centuries. That was when Ferid chose to break the silence after a little while. "Ah...It...It seems like I got the wrong classroom..." Ferid turned, making his way back over to the door. "I'm just going to go now." he said as he reached for the doorknob. Before Ferid could turn the doorknob, Crowley called out to him. "Wait. Don't go just yet." he called out. Ferid's hand stilled on the doorknob for a few moments before withdrawing his hand. He turned, crossing his arms over his chest as he glared at Crowley. "Did you blackmail Mika or something?" he asked. "What the hell? I would never do such a thing! He was the one who actually set this up." Crowley said. Ferid snorted. "I find that hard to believe." he stated. "I'm telling the truth. Look, Ferid, I..." Crowley sighed deeply. "I just want to talk." he said, running his fingers through his hair. "What exactly is there to talk about? I think we discussed everything that day." Ferid said. "What, about how my best friend has feelings for me?" Crowley asked. "Oh, yes! I forgot that I mentioned something as trivial as that." Ferid said with the wave of his hand. "Trivial?" Crowley clenched his fists. "You're telling me that your feelings for me are trivial?" he asked. "I am. Actually, as a matter of fact," Ferid stared directly into his eyes and Crowley could see the raging fire roaring in them, "I never felt anything for you. Besides, how could a homosexual fall in love with a straight guy, to begin with?" he spat out like the words were poisonous venom. Crowley continued to stare into Ferid's eyes and he managed to catch the hurt and rejection flickering in them. He noticed the way Ferid tried to fight the oncoming tears and the way he bit down on his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood so that no sobs would escape his lips. "You're...lying, aren't you?" Crowley guessed. "Me? Lying?" Ferid barked out a laugh. "I've never told a single lie in my life. What made you think that I would start now?" he asked. "You know, Ferid...you always had that habit of biting on your bottom lip whenever you lie. The way your nose twitches is also a dead giveaway." Crowley pointed out. Ferid released his bottom lip, a thin trail of red spreading along his lip. He reached up, his fingers brushing against his nose. He gasped softly, feeling his nose twitch under his touch. "You...I don't need your sympathy. Especially when it's fake." Ferid snapped. "Ferid, that's not it at all." Crowley said. "Then, just what the hell is it?! What is it?! If it's not sympathy, then what exactly is it?!" Ferid shouted. "Ferid, if you would just let me explain myself, then we don't have to continue like this." Crowley said. "Goddammit, Eusford! Can't you see?! I ruined everything! Our friendship, your trust, everything between us has fallen apart!" Crowley saw tears begin to swim about in Ferid's eyes. "If I hadn't fallen for you, then...!" he choked out. "Why would you think that?" Crowley asked. "Because my foolishness is causing us to be like this! I'm so selfish that I want things that I simply can't have." Ferid stated. "But, you still have me." Crowley said. "Like hell I do. The fuck would a straight guy like you want from someone like me?!" Ferid snapped angrily. "What would a straight guy like me want from someone like you? I'll show you, then." Crowley said. Crowley strode over to Ferid, grabbing for him by his wrists and yanking him into a rough kiss. Ferid gasped sharply, the kiss taking him by surprise. He slowly began to kiss back, melting into the kiss. As he felt Crowley's grip on his wrists go slack, he then realized what exactly he was doing. He quickly reached out to press his palms against Crowley's chest. "S-Stop it!" he gasped out, breaking away from the kiss. "No, I won't stop." Crowley reached for his wrists again. "Just hear me out, won't you?" he pleaded. "No. No, I won't listen to you." Ferid made sure to look anywhere but straight into Crowley's eyes. "I won't listen to what you have to say." he bit out. He decided to gaze at the v-neck cut in Crowley's sweater as Crowley spoke. "Well, I'm going to tell you whether you like it or not." Crowley stared down at Ferid, who had his head slightly lowered. "You keep saying that I'm straight, but I actually am not. I'm actually bisexual." he began. Ferid said nothing, which was a sign for Crowley to continue. "I kind of figured it out in seventh grade that I was attracted to both men and women. I came out to my parents about a few months afterwards and they support me. But, if you remember back to how the kids would act in middle school, you would remember that they didn't take too lightly to bisexuals or homosexuals. So, I only said that I would never be friends with a homosexual just so that I could avoid getting picked on next. I didn't think that it would hurt you. I was in seventh grade and I was stupid. I should've been able to figure out right away just how my friend feels and yet..." he trailed off. Ferid snorted. "You're such a terrible friend, you know that? Forcing me to listen to you even though I don't want to..." he mumbled. "Ferid, if I don't say this now, I don't know if I ever will." Crowley said. "Okay then, say it. Say what it is you really want to say because I can tell that what you were saying just now wasn't what you really wanted to say." Ferid pointed out. Crowley let out a small chuckle. "So, in eighth grade, I started having these indescribable feelings for this guy. I've known him for years, but I wasn't able to put a name to these feelings for him until this past summer. Sure, I like guys and all, but this one guy in particular completely stole my heart." Crowley moved in so that their foreheads were touching. "That guy is you, Ferid." he confessed. Ferid's gaze immediately snapped up at those words. Crowley felt his stomach twist, seeing how tears were beginning to well up in Ferid's eyes. "What...?" he choked out. "Ferid Bathory, I am madly in love with you." Crowley said. Ferid blinked, a tear managing to escape and trail down his cheek. "Wha...When...How...Why...Huh...?" Ferid was at a loss for words. "Do you remember our middle school graduation when we walked home together and how you smiled at me and said that we would always stick together no matter what when we got to high school?" Crowley asked. Ferid slowly nodded his head in response, not trusting himself to speak at the moment. "The way you smiled, the way the wind blew, the way the cherry blossom petals scattered along the sidewalk flew around you, the way the sunset shone on you and bathed you in orange and yellow, just...everything about that moment made my heart race for the very first time. Maybe that was when I fell for you. However, I wasn't sure just yet, which is why I went out with other people to see if I felt the same way around them like how I feel about you. But, in the end, only you can make my heart race." he pressed a kiss to Ferid's brow. "Only you." he whispered. He heard Ferid hiccup as he began to sniffle. "You...You bloody idiot..." he watched as tears began to spill freely from Ferid's eyes. "How dare you deliver a better love confession than me..." he mumbled. Crowley chuckled. "It was the only way to get through to you." he stated. Ferid wriggled his wrists out from Crowley's grasp, his hands moving to cup Crowley's cheeks. "Crowley...do you really love me?" he asked. "I do." Crowley replied. "You're not just saying those things because you pity me, right?" Ferid asked. "No, I'm not." Crowley replied. "And...And you're not saying it because you think that this is what I want to hear, right?" Ferid asked. "Goodness, no. I would never do something so lowly and cheap." Crowley reached up to caress Ferid's cheek. "I'm saying it because this is how I truly feel. I'm sorry I took so long to say it, but I guess it worked out in the end." he said. He then closed the gap, delivering a soft peck to his lips. "I love you, Ferid." he said. More tears cascaded down Ferid's cheeks as he spoke. "Same. I...I love you too, Crowley..." he whispered out as Crowley pulled him in for another kiss. =============================================================================== Mika couldn't help but grin like a goddamn fool as he watched Ferid and Crowley enter the cafeteria hand in hand. "So they finally hooked up?" Krul guessed, stirring her mango smoothie with a straw as she observed them. "Yeah. I kind of had to do some nudging, but it worked out in the end." Mika said. "Hm." Krul hummed out as she took a sip from her smoothie. Mika poked at a piece of orange chicken with his chopsticks, rolling it about in the small pile of rice on his plate. He then reached for a piece of broccoli on the plate as Krul spoke. "So? How's your love life going?" she asked. Mika nearly choked on his piece of broccoli at Krul's question. "What the...?!" he reached for his bottle of Fanta, chugging some down in an attempt to wash the piece of broccoli down his throat. "Huh?!" he exclaimed. "Oh? Am I mistaken?" Krul picked up an egg roll with her chopsticks. "I could've sworn you have a thing for the boy sitting over at that table." she said, pointing her egg roll in Yuu's direction. Krul dipped her egg roll into some sweet and spicy sauce as Mika looked over at the table where Yuu sat, surrounded by his friends. He watched Yuu burst into laughter, a light blush coloring his cheeks pink. "You can tell me everything when you're ready to do so. But, at least tell me if you're feeling something for him or not." Krul said. "Well...I might be. I'm not sure yet." Mika admitted. "Ugh, please don't pull the whole 'oh my god, my heart is racing so quickly whenever I see him, just why is it that I am feeling this way?' stunt that the heroines in shoujo manga usually pull. It's too sappy and disgusting for my liking." Krul warned. "I wouldn't dream of it." Mika picked up a piece of orange chicken coated in rice and sauce with his chopsticks, popping it into his mouth. "It's just that...I feel like I need to do something more in order to figure out if this is truly love or not..." he trailed off. "Hm...have you taken him on a date yet?" Krul asked. "Yeah." Mika replied. "Huh. Well, you work quick." she took a sip from her smoothie as she realized something. "Wait a second. So, that situation you were talking to me about before wasn't actually hypothetical?" she asked. "No, it wasn't." Mika said. "I honestly had a feeling it wasn't hypothetical, but it's still surprising." she nibbled on her straw. "So? I'm assuming the kiss didn't determine it?" she guessed. "No. Actually, it left me very confused." Mika admitted. "Hm..." Krul drummed her fingers along the surface of the cafeteria table. "Maybe a second date could help with that." she suggested. "Another date?" Mika asked. "Yeah. Sometimes, it won't click unless you keep pushing the relationship along at a nice, steady pace." Krul pointed out. Mika stuck a piece of chicken into his mouth as he began to think. "Well, Yuu and I's relationship has been anything BUT nice and steady. Not going to tell Krul that, though..." he thought to himself. He chewed on the piece of chicken as Krul spoke. "So, try the second date and then tell me if anything changed after that." Krul suggested. "Okay." Mika said as Ferid and Crowley approached the table with their food. "Well, it seems like someone finally hooked up." Krul commented. "It didn't take us that long!" Ferid whined. "Hell yeah, it did! The slow burn and one-sided love between you two drove me up a wall!" Krul pointed out. Crowley laughed as he dug his teeth into a crispy chicken leg. "Well, we're not making you drive up a wall anymore." he commented. "Thank God..." Krul mumbled as she ate her food. As Krul, Crowley, and Ferid talked among each other, Mika began scrolling through his phone, looking at various restaurants in hopes of picking the right one for him and Yuu's second date.  ***** Second Date's The Charm ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some suggestive content, some fluff, YAOI (boyxboy) Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with the next chapter! This chapter is a total monster. Like, it took forever to get this written out and outlined the way I needed it to be outlined. So much stuff is getting covered in this chapter and this is also the last time smut will be present in this fanfic. After that, the drama will begin to fully kick in. I don't own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D See the end of the chapter for more notes Yuu stepped out of the shower as he heard his phone vibrate against the bathroom counter. "Hm? A text?" he began to towel dry his hair. "I wonder who it's from..." he trailed off in his thoughts as he reached for his phone and he read the text that he just received. [09:43:15pm] yuu-chan, will you be free this coming saturday? Yuu arched a brow. "Saturday...?" he murmured out as he quickly sent a reply. [09:44:05pm] I most likely will be. Why? Yuu finished towel drying his hair and he proceeded to moisturize his skin with lotion. He slipped into a pair of black pajama pants and a black Twenty One Pilots shirt as another text came in. He reached for his phone and he read what it said. [09:50:34pm] i want 2 take u out 2 dinner. consider it a date. Yuu nearly dropped his phone. Did he really read that right? "I must be going crazy..." he mumbled under his breath. "Mika's asking me out on another date?! I thought he would've grown tired of the whole dating business after the mess I created at the aquarium..." he thought to himself, recalling how their date at the aquarium turned into a group date for the first half of the day. He typed out a reply, hoping to get some sort of confirmation from Mika. [09:52:22pm] You're asking me on another date? Mika answered moments after Yuu sent his text. [09:52:45pm] if u want 2 consider it a date, then u most definitely can. [09:53:47pm] Do you consider it a date? [09:54:18pm] how would u react if i said i did? Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red, his heart nearly skipping a beat. He chewed on his lower lip as he stared at Mika's text. "He's being serious...He really does see this as our second date...am I lucky or what?!" he asked himself. [09:57:16pm] I'm glad you think that way :) [09:57:38pm] I'd like to go on that second date with you. Yuu hung his towel on the rack and he padded out of the bathroom as Mika's reply came in. [09:58:17pm] k. i'll give u more info 2morrow. make sure 2 keep ur saturday wide open. [09:58:33pm] Okay. See you tomorrow, Mika! [09:58:58pm] see u then Yuu smiled as he made his way over to his bed and flopped down on it, rolling over on his side. "Another date, huh..." a smile pulled at his lips. "I can't wait." he murmured out. =============================================================================== "Really?" Mitsuba's eyes bugged out in shock as they ate lunch the next day. "Yeah. He wants to take me out again this Saturday." Yuu explained. "That's surely a change of events..." Kimizuki murmured. "Maybe it's to make up for the whole aquarium date?" Yoichi suggested. "Was it really a date, though?" Kimizuki asked. "I'm sure it turned into one after we got separated from them." Yoichi pointed out. "Or maybe it was a date from the very beginning." Mitsuba said, lifting her mozzarella stick with his fingers and pointing it at Yuu. "Really?" Yoichi questioned, glancing over at Yuu. "I'm not going to say anything." Yuu reached for his mozzarella stick. "I don't know where you got that assumption from." he stated as he dipped the stick in some marinara sauce. "You're so mean!" Mitsuba whined. "Maybe he has a reason for not saying anything...?" Yoichi suggested. "Like hell I'll believe that!" Mitsuba snapped as she tore through the mozzarella stick with her teeth angrily. Yuu chose to stay silent as he nibbled on his mozzarella stick. He looked over to see that Shinoa was observing him, her eyes narrowed slightly. Her expression sent chills down Yuu's spine. "Why is she staring at me like that? It's like she's trying to peer into my soul..." he thought to himself. He swallowed, still feeling her gaze on him. He took another bite out of his mozzarella stick as he got a text. He pulled out his phone and he read the text. [12:44:30pm] come 2 the library now. Yuu sighed as he finished off his mozzarella stick, licking at the crumbs lightly coating his fingertips before standing up. "And just where is it that you're going?" Kimizuki asked, arching a brow at him. "Library." Yuu replied before grabbing for his backpack, swinging it over his shoulder. He picked up his paper plate, threw it in the trash, and he headed out of the cafeteria without another word. As he made his way down the hall, he saw that he received another text. He glanced down at his phone, thinking that it was another text from Mika. However, what the text said made him realize that the text wasn't from the blond. [12:46:37pm] We need 2 talk. Meet me @ the library after school. I'll be waiting 4 u by the manga section. ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu arched a brow at this. "Why does she want to talk...?" he muttered out loud. "The only time she ever wants to talk in private is if she wants to confront one of us about something..." he thought to himself. He then froze in front of the library door, a thought suddenly striking him. "Could it be...does she know about my secret relationship with Mika?!" he asked himself. He quickly shook his head. "No, there's no way that's true. I don't think I was being that obvious, was I?" he asked himself. He sighed deeply. "Whatever...I guess I'll figure it out when I see her..." he mumbled under his breath before opening the library door and walking in. =============================================================================== Yuu felt his nervousness kick in as soon as the bell rang, signaling that school was over for the day. He packed his backpack, zipping it up and following Yoichi out of the classroom. "Are you going straight home?" Yoichi asked. Yuu shook his head. "No. I have some business to take care of in the library first." Yuu explained. "Oh, I see." they reached the stairs. "Well, I'm going this way. You have fun with that!" he said. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow!" Yuu called out, waving as Yoichi headed down the hall towards the main entrance. He breathed out a sigh as he began to make his way up to the second floor, which was where the library was. "Well, I might as well get this whole conversation over with..." he thought to himself. He approached the library door and he reached for the doorknob, his hand hovering over it. The nervousness came back in a sudden wave, causing his hand to tremble a little. "Yuu, you shouldn't be this nervous. It's Shinoa, after all." he told himself. He took in deep breaths, calming himself down and waiting for his hand to stop trembling. Once it did, he reached for the doorknob and he turned it, opening the door to the library. He stepped inside, closing the door gently behind him. His heart thudded in his ears as he began to make his way over to the manga section of the library. "You can do this, Yuu. You can most definitely do this." he told himself. He walked into the manga aisle and he immediately spotted Shinoa, who was in the process of grabbing a book on one of the higher shelves on her tiptoes. Her fingers brushed along the spine of the book before securing a hold on it, pulling it out. As he began to slowly make his way over to her, he saw that it was the cover for the second volume of Bungou Stray Dogs. "Shinoa." he called out, choosing to break the silence. Shinoa looked up from the manga cover, her eyes landing on Yuu. "You made it, cherry boy." she turned on her heel. "Come with me." she said, beckoning for him to follow her with her hand. Yuu swallowed as he followed her down the aisle. They ended up at a table in the back corner, Shinoa seated across from Yuu. Yuu fiddled with the hem of his shirt, not liking how silent it was between them. Yuu got ready to speak when Shinoa beat him to it. "I know everything, Yuu." she eyed him, her gaze intense. "About your relationship with Mika, that is." she said. Yuu resisted the urge to swallow, his stomach panging painfully. "I had a feeling she wanted to talk to me about this..." he thought to himself. "I would tell you what I know, but I want to hear the truth from you first." she lounged back in her chair, her eyes still trained on him. "So, tell me." she said. Yuu bit his lip, lowering his gaze to the table. "What exactly does she want me to say? That Mika and I are basically fuck buddies?" he asked himself. He released a shaky breath, collecting his thoughts as he spoke. "W-Well...if that's what you really want, then I can't exactly tell you no..." he trailed off. "Damn right, you can't tell me no." Shinoa stated. Yuu sighed. "Okay, so it started when our binders got swapped. He read the smut in it and he began to tease me a little here and there until he cornered me in the locker room. He..." his cheeks flushed red, his gaze flickering up to catch Shinoa's for a split second before redirecting it to the table. "He dry humped me and...well...told me that he would make every scenario in my binder a reality if I told him to. I knew I should've turned him down, but it's "the" Mikaela Shindo. It's the guy that I love. There was no way I was going to let such an opportunity pass me by, so I told him yes and we began our very complicated relationship." Yuu explained. "So," Yuu glanced up at Shinoa, who had propped her elbow up on the table, her cheek pressed against the palm of her hand, "I am assuming the two of you have had sex already?" she asked. Yuu turned red as a tomato, twiddling with his thumbs nervously. He then nodded his head. "Y-Yeah...we've been having sex since the night we went to Crowley's party..." he admitted. He could feel the blush spread to his ears as Shinoa spoke. "So, you knew you were getting yourself into some deep shit, but you just let him treat you like a puppet, anyway?" she asked. "Yeah." he replied. She sighed. "Yuu, why would you do such a thing? Your feelings are not something to be toyed with." she scolded, her voice soft yet stern. "I know that, Shinoa. I really do. It's just..." Yuu sighed. "I guess love makes people do crazy things sometimes..." he trailed off. "Like having your crush manipulate your feelings for him for his entertainment." Shinoa drawled out sarcastically. "You don't have to be so blunt about it..." Yuu murmured, moving his hands to rest on the table. "The only reason I am being so blunt about it is because I am worried. I may tease you a lot, but in the end, you are still my friend." she reached out to take his hand in hers. "I just want to make sure that what you are doing is safe." she said, her expression softening. Yuu blinked his eyes twice, slightly taken aback by the look of pure concern in Shinoa's eyes. "I...I know what I'm getting myself into. It's not like I ran into this without knowing anything..." Yuu murmured. "Then, can you promise me that you'll back out if it looks like he might try to hurt you?" she asked. "I...Of course I will. I promise I will." Yuu replied. "And this is a promise that you will keep, right?" Shinoa asked. Yuu nodded. "I swear that I will keep that promise." he said. "Okay. That's all I need to know." she said, pulling her hand away from Yuu's. She then stood up from her seat. "Was that all?" Yuu asked. "I mean, unless you have something else you want to tell me, then I think I've said what I needed to say." she said. "Well..." Yuu twiddled with his thumbs. "Mika invited me out on another date this coming weekend and I was hoping you'd help me pick an outfit? I don't want to trigger Shinya's raging mom switch again..." he trailed off. Shinoa smiled. "Of course I'll help." she replied. =============================================================================== Saturday finally arrived and with that brought an extremely nervous Yuu. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at the outfit that Shinoa had selected for him. "Do you think this will impress him?" he asked, watching Shinoa from in the mirror. She nodded. "I know so." she said. Yuu glanced down at his outfit, which consisted of a cherry red motorcycle jacket, a white Aeropostale v-neck shirt, black torn skinny jeans, and shiny cherry red combat boots. He bit his bottom lip lightly. "What if he takes me somewhere fancy? Doesn't this look kind of goth?" he asked. "First of all, I highly doubt that he would. Second, it doesn't look goth in the slightest. You look fine." she reassured him. Yuu said nothing, staring at his reflection in the mirror. Shinoa sighed, standing up from her seat on his bed. "Relax, Yuu." she breezed past him and headed into the bathroom. "Okay, I'm going to do your makeup now." she said. "Makeup?" Yuu asked in surprise. "Yes, your makeup!" she waved her makeup kit at him. "Don't you want to at least look sexy for him?" she asked. "I...!" his cheeks turned as red as his jacket, causing Shinoa to snicker. "Oh, cherry boy, you get flustered way too easily." she commented. She stepped out of the bathroom and she motioned for Yuu to come sit next to her on the bed. He followed, sitting down next to her. She unzipped her makeup bag, pulling out some eyeliner and a tube of peach colored lip stain. "Do you always act so flustered each time the two of you have sex?" she asked teasingly. "Huh?! N-No way!" he stammered out, causing her to laugh as she uncapped the eyeliner. Yuu stared at her as she began to apply the eyeliner around his eye. It surprised him that she acted so normal around him after he spilled his guts to her about what was really going on between him and Mika. He thought she would've been more cautious when it came to talking about his sex life as of late, but she spoke and teased him about it like she were talking about the weather. However, it was Shinoa. Many things about her threw Yuu through a loop. He involuntarily pulled back, the tip of the eyeliner tickling his eyelid. "Don't fidget about so much. You'll screw the eyeliner up." she chided softly as she continued her work. Yuu sighed, letting Shinoa continue with her work. After working on the eyeliner for what felt like hours, she put the eyeliner away and she picked up the tube of lip stain. She requested that he pucker his lips a little, which he complied to. He felt Shinoa begin to move the tube along his lips, applying the lip stain to them. She then finished a couple of minutes later. "It's done." she put the tube of lip stain away and she reached into her makeup bag for a small compact mirror. "Look." she said, opening the compact mirror for him. Yuu peered into the small mirror, taking in the red and black eyeliner wings above his eyelids, the light stroke of black eyeliner under his eyes, and the sparkly tint of the lip stain on his lips. "Whoa..." he trailed off. "Doesn't it look good?" she asked. "It does, yeah." he shot a glance at her. "I thought you weren't good with makeup." he commented. "I can at least do something as simple as this! It's just that doing complicated makeup design is difficult." she pointed out. "Ah." Yuu said as Shinoa clamped the mirror shut.  At that moment, Guren poked his head into Yuu's bedroom. "Oi, your date's here." he said, a bored look plastered onto his face. "Okay, okay, I'm coming down now." Yuu said as he stood up from his bed. He glanced over at Shinoa, who shot him a small smile. "Have fun on your date. I'll leave after you guys head out." she said. "Okay. Thanks again for everything, Shinoa." he thanked her. "I always have your back, you know." she said as Yuu smiled, turning to follow Guren downstairs to where Mika was waiting. Mika stood in the entryway, tapping away on his phone. He had on a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, white skinny jeans, and black Vans. He looked up, smiling softly once he saw Yuu. "Hey." he greeted, slipping his phone into his jeans pocket. Yuu smiled shyly as he waved. "Hey..." he trailed off. "So, I assume you know the drill." Guren narrowed his eyes at Mika. "Make sure he doesn't get himself in any sort of trouble and as it is a weekend, he can stay the night with you if he wishes to." he explained. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Am I making myself clear?" he asked. Mika nodded. "Loud and clear." he replied. He looked over at Yuu. "Shall we go?" he asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah, let's go." he glanced over at Guren. "Don't worry, I'll be okay. I know how to be responsible." he stated. "I find that hard to believe." Guren jeered. Yuu glowered at him. "You really are an idiot..." Yuu mumbled under his breath. "Oi, stop being so goddamn sulky and go enjoy yourself! Shinya will be coming by later to keep me company, anyway." Guren said with the wave of his hand. "Okay." Yuu said as he followed Mika out of the house. He closed the door behind them and they began to make their way over to Mika's car, which was parked on the curb. Mika glanced over his shoulder at Yuu. "You look really cute tonight." he commented. "Ah..." Yuu's cheeks flushed red. "Th-Thank you..." he trailed off as they approached Mika's car. He opened the passenger door for Yuu, letting him slide in. Mika closed the door and he headed over to driver's side, slipping in and closing the door behind him. "So, where is it that we're going?" Yuu asked as he clicked in his seatbelt. Mika clicked in his seatbelt as he spoke. "That's a secret." Mika said. Yuu pouted, but didn't push the subject any further as Mika started up the car and he drove off. =============================================================================== Yuu stared outside as Mika drove further into town. The town lights sparkled and illuminated the busy streets. He ran a finger along the glass as he continued to watch the scenery move past him in a blur. "Are we almost there?" Yuu asked. "Yeah." Mika replied. Yuu leaned back in his chair, listening to the sound of a Maroon 5 song flood through the speakers and fill the silence inside the vehicle. Mika turned left into a parking lot and he pulled into a parking spot, cutting the engine. "We're here." Mika said as he took off his seatbelt. Yuu took off his setbelt as well as he watched Mika get out of the car. He made his way over to the other side and he opened the car door for Yuu, extending his hand out to him. Yuu slipped his hand into Mika's and he let the blond help him out of the car. Mika closed the door and he locked the vehicle. "So? Are you going to tell me where you have taken me?" Yuu asked. "I will. Just hold on a little longer." Mika said. Yuu frowned, sticking his lower lip out in a pout as he crossed his arms over his chest. "That is so not fair..." he mumbled. Mika chuckled as they made their way to the front of the building that they had parked to the side of. Yuu stared at the neon blue sign, which read The Seafood Shack. "This is..." Yuu trailed off, recalling what Mika had said during their date at the aquarium. "I promised you that I'd bring you here, didn't I?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah, you did." he said. "Well, here we are." Mika said. He reached to open the door for Yuu and they stepped inside. Yuu took the time to admire his surroundings, looking at the dark cherrywood floors, the tables and booths lit up by lanterns hovering above them, the bar that was tucked to the left side of the restaurant, and the multiple fish tanks filled with fish placed in various spots. He spotted a fish tank behind the hostess that stood by the small podium as they made their way over. "Hi, how many?" she asked. "I actually made reservations under the name Mika." Mika said. The hostess glanced down at the computer before her, tapping on the screen with her stiletto nails. She then looked at Mika. "Ah, yes, I do remember setting that reservation up for you." she reached for two menus. "Please follow me right this way. And make sure you watch your step." she said as she began to lead them to their table. Yuu stepped down the two steps and he walked behind Mika as the hostess led them to a corner booth. They slipped into the booth with Yuu sitting across from Mika as the hostess handed them their menus. "Here you go. Seiko will be here shortly to tend to you guys." she said before heading back towards the front of the restaurant. Yuu reached for his menu and he cracked it open, flipping through it. He looked through the many selections, occasionally looking up to glance at Mika, who had also begun to flip through the menu. He bit his lip as Mika spoke. "Okay, I think I know what I'm getting." he said, quickly closing his menu. "You already know what you're getting?" Yuu questioned. "Yeah." Mika replied. "Wow, that's quick." Yuu commented as he continued to look through the menu. As he passed the burgers section, a waitress with black hair pulled into a neat bun and brown eyes behind black-rimmed glasses approached their table with a small basket that had cheddar rolls in it. She rested the basket in the center of the table before speaking. "Good evening! I am Seiko and I will be your waitress. So, can I get you guys started with something to drink?" she asked as she pulled out her notepad and pen. "I'll have a peach lemonade." Mika said. "Okay. And for you?" Seiko asked, looking over at Yuu once she finished jotting down Mika's drink order. "Um..." Yuu tapped his thumb against the menu page as he looked at the beverages listed at the bottom of the page. "I think I'll also have a peach lemonade." he said. "Okay! I will be right back with that." she said before heading off to get their drinks ready. Yuu glanced back at his menu as Mika cleared his throat. "So, Yuu, what do you think about getting an appetizer?" he asked. Yuu shrugged. "I don't really mind. What were you thinking about ordering?" he asked. "I was thinking the shrimp tempura roll. It's big enough to share between the two of us." Mika explained. "Oh, okay." Yuu said. "Is that fine with you?" Mika asked. "Yes, it is! I'm fine with pretty much anything." Yuu said. He continued to look through the menu as he spoke. "So, how exactly do you know about this restaurant?" Yuu asked. "We came here to celebrate one day after we won the tennis tournament back in ninth grade. Ferid, Crowley, and I started coming here for special occasions after that day, since the food is so good." Mika explained. "Oh, I see..." Yuu trailed off. He looked through the menu one last time before looking at Mika. "Mika, what are you going to get?" he asked. "I'm going to get the teriyaki salmon. I always get it when I come here." Mika said. "That sounds delicious." Yuu commented. "Do you know what you're going to get?" Mika asked. "I'm thinking about the crawfish curry." Yuu said, shooting a glance at Mika as he said that. Mika chuckled. "You really love your curry, don't you, Yuu-chan?" he guessed. Yuu blushed, his gaze quickly lowering back down to the menu in his hands. "I...I just really like curry!" Yuu complained. "Yes, yes, I do know that. I'm not trying to insult you or anything. I think it's very cute how you get excited about curry." Mika said, a wide smile spreading across his lips. The blush on Yuu's cheeks got hotter as it began to spread to his ears. He hid his face even more behind the menu as Seiko came back with their drinks. They then ordered their appetizer and entrees and she headed off in the direction of the kitchen, leaving the two of them alone again. Mika reached for a roll and he cut it open just enough so that he could spread some butter on it. Yuu also grabbed for a roll and he did the same thing. He bit into the roll, the saltiness of the melted butter, the fluffiness of the roll, and the sharpness of the cheddar tickling his taste buds as he spoke. "So, Mika." he began. "Yeah?" Mika answered. "What made you decide to take me on another date?" he asked. "I promised you last time, didn't I? I'm not one to go back on my promises." Mika explained. "I mean, I get that you promised to take me here sometime. But, that's not what I'm asking." Yuu took another bite out of his roll. "This could've just been a casual get together. Why go so far as to say that this is a date?" he asked. "What, do you not want it to be a date?" Mika asked. "Th-That's not what I'm saying! I'm just wondering why you see it as another date." Yuu explained. "Is it wrong for me to see it as such?" Mika asked. "Well..." Yuu trailed off. "Well?" Mika asked, urging for Yuu to continue. "I- - -" Seiko came back with two small saucers and a long, rectangular plate that had a jumbo sized shrimp tempura roll sitting atop a drizzle of spicy mayo, cutting Yuu off. "Here is your shrimp tempura roll!" she also placed two pairs of chopsticks down. "Enjoy." she said before heading off. Yuu brought his bottom lip in between his teeth as he stared at Mika. "Well what?" Mika picked up his chopsticks and he silently counted how many pieces there were before taking his share. "What were you going to say?" Mika asked. "I...What I was trying to say is..." Yuu nibbled a little on his bottom lip as he reached for his chopsticks. "How exactly is it that you see me? Are you perhaps attracted to me? Or is it something different?" Yuu asked. "Attracted..." Mika murmured. Yuu nodded. "Yeah. Like, do you actually have feelings for me or something?" Yuu asked as Mika began to bring a piece of the tempura roll half dipped in spicy mayo to his mouth. He stopped, the piece of the tempura roll just inches away from his mouth. His mouth slowly closed, his blue eyes boring into Yuu's like he were searching for his answer to Yuu's question in them. "I...I mean...!" Yuu began to grown flustered. "You don't have to answer that! I guess that was way too forward of me...I'm sorry for bringing such a question up." he apologized. "Don't apologize." Mika said. "Huh?" Yuu asked. "I said don't apologize. If anything, you bring up a valid point." Mika said. Yuu wanted to ask what he meant, but he couldn't find it in him to formulate his question. So, he left the subject at that and he began to dig into his share of the tempura roll. About half an hour later, Seiko came back with their entrees, leaving them on the table and going off to get Mika a refill on his lemonade. They dug into their food, occasionally making small talk about their classes and other activities. However, no matter how much they spoke about various subjects, it wasn't enough to draw Yuu's attention away from their previous conversation. =============================================================================== Yuu stared up at the building before them. "It's a hotel." he stated, eyeing the twenty story building before them. "It is." Mika said. "We're spending the night at a hotel." Yuu commented. "Indeed, we are." Mika said. He glanced over at him. "Yuu-chan? What's wrong? Could it be that you don't want to spend the night at a hotel?" Mika looked at him, concern evident in his features. "If you want, I can drive you back home." he suggested. "N-No! That's not it at all!" Yuu exclaimed. "Then, what's wrong?" Mika asked. "It's just..." Yuu began to play a little with the zipper of his jacket. "The last time we were at a hotel, things didn't quite go so well..." he trailed off. Mika swallowed, knowing exactly what Yuu was talking about. He reached out for Yuu's hand, taking it in his own. "It's okay. Like I said before, what happened was in the past. Let's not dwell on it." he gently squeezed his hand. "Can you do that for me?" he asked. Yuu swallowed, staring at the bright sign that read Haute Resort and Spa. He then nodded. "Yeah." he replied, squeezing Mika's hand back in response. Mika smiled softly before leading Yuu into the resort lobby. The lobby was extravagant with red, white, and gold tones. The walls were a deep red velvet and it served as a contrast to the pearl white marble flooring and pillars, which had gold accents on them. The lobby was lit by two large diamond chandeliers that hung from high ceilings. Yuu could only watch in awe as Mika made his way over to the front counter, quickly getting the key for their room. The two of them made their way over to the elevators, managing to get one and they headed up to the eleventh floor. They arrived at the eleventh floor moments later, the dinging of the door signaling their arrival. Mika led Yuu down the hallway, which had red striped walls and a light fixture hanging in between each pair of pure white doors. After a few moments, they stopped in front of a door at the end of the hall. "Well, here's our room." Mika said as he took out the key and he inserted it into the lock, unlocking the door. They stepped into the room and Yuu gaped as Mika closed the door, flicking the lights on. The walls were a cream color with white crown molding. Off to the left was the bathroom and further inside the room was a large king sized bed that had burgundy red sheets and white pillows. There were also ceiling high windows lining one side of the room, giving them a nice view of the city. A diamond chandelier hung above the bed, giving the room a more elegant feel. "Wow...this room is large..." Yuu trailed off. "It sure is." Mika commented. That was when Yuu felt Mika wrap his arms around his waist from behind. He tensed, feeling Mika's body pressed against his. "Mi-Mika?" he stammered. "Do you remember what you said at the restaurant?" Mika asked. "Eh? What did I say?" Yuu asked. "You know," Mika's breath tickled the nape of Yuu's neck, "the moment when you asked me if I felt something for you." he said. Yuu let out a shaky breath. "Ah...I do remember saying something like that..." Yuu shivered a little as Mika's breath began to ghost up the side of his neck. "What about it?" he asked. "I was thinking about what you had said. Then, a thought came to me." he turned Yuu around in his arms so that Yuu was facing him. "Maybe I should show you how exactly it is that I feel." he said, resting his forehead against Yuu's. Yuu felt his breath catch in his throat. He stared into Mika's eyes, feeling paralyzed by his intense gaze. He brought his bottom lip in between his teeth as he spoke. "Show me, then." he whispered. The distance was quickly closed between them, their lips mashing together in a kiss. Yuu's hands moved to drape themselves over Mika's shoulders as Mika pulled him closer by the waist. Yuu moaned into the kiss as he felt Mika's tongue dart out and lick at his bottom lip, asking for entrance. Yuu willingly opened his mouth, letting Mika's tongue slip and caress his own tongue gently. A moan rumbled through his throat as he let himself get lost in the kiss. In the midst of the kiss, Yuu felt Mika reach for his jacket and lightly push it off his shoulders. Yuu shrugged out of the jacket, moving his hands to guide Mika's hands down towards the hem of his shirt. They began to back up slowly towards the bed, their tongues engaging in a tango. Mika broke away from the kiss for a split second to pull the shirt over Yuu's head and throwing it to the side before pushing Yuu lightly onto the mattress. Yuu let out a surprised gasp as his back hit the mattress, bouncing lightly on it. He felt the bed dip as Mika straddled him, having quickly discarded his shirt when he had pushed Yuu down onto the bed. Mika reached a hand up to stroke Yuu's cheek softly, running his thumb along the high rise of Yuu's left cheekbone. Yuu leaned into the touch as Mika moved in to press another kiss to Yuu's lips. Mika's other hand moved to unzip Yuu's jeans, tugging down on them lightly. Yuu moaned softly as he broke away from the kiss. "Let me help with that." he said before reachig down to untie his boots, kicking them off. He then wiggled out of his jeans, watching the article of clothing fall to the floor. He then moved to help Mika out of his jeans as the blond slipped off his Vans. They then discarded their boxers before meeting yet again in another kiss. Yuu moaned into Mika's mouth as their half hard cocks rubbed against each other. Mika pried Yuu's mouth open, sliding his tongue in. He could taste peaches and lemonade on Yuu's tongue as he caressed it softly. Another moan was drawn from Yuu as he began to roll his hips into Mika's, craving the friction their cocks were creating. Mika broke from the kiss a few minutes later, leaving Yuu gasping for breath as he began leading a wet trail of kisses along Yuu's jawline and down the side of his neck. "You like that?" Mika whispered against the crook of Yuu's neck. Yuu mewled as he continued to roll his hips against Mika's. Mika chuckled, his breath hitting Yuu's skin. "You're so impatient...let's try and take this slow. I don't want to rush this." he said. He moved in to suckle at the junction between Yuu's neck and shoulder, causing another moan to be drawn from Yuu's lips. As he focused on Yuu's neck, Mika began trailing a hand down Yuu's side. He could hear Yuu's breath hitch in his throat as his fingers glided along his skin. His index finger brushed along his pelvis before dancing along the inside of his thigh. He then reached Yuu's hardened cock, trailing a finger along the underside of it. Yuu choked on a gasp as Mika wrapped his fingers around his length and he began to slowly stroke him. A groan came from the boy under him as Mika finished marking a hickey on his neck, kissing it before venturing downward towards his chest. He swirled his tongue around Yuu's right nipple before beginning to suckle on it. Yuu drew in a sharp gasp, his back slightly arching off of the mattress as Mika continued to stroke him. He ran his thumb along the head of Yuu's length, smearing pre-cum all over it before he began to pump him quickly. "Ah...Oh, yes, Mika..." Yuu moaned breathlessly, urging him to continue his ministrations. He pumped him faster whilst suckling roughly on his nipple, causing Yuu to gasp. He curled his toes into the sheets as he looked down at Mika through half-lidded eyes. "Mika, I...I think I'm going to cum..." he trailed off. Mika withdrew from his nipple, jerking him off even faster. "Go ahead, Yuu-chan. Cum for me." he purred, raising his gaze up to meet Yuu's lust-filled eyes. Yuu gasped, feeling himself shudder with pleasure as he came, cum shooting out in streams of white onto his chest. He moaned, weakly bucking his hips into Mika's hand as he rode out his orgasm. Mika withdrew his hand, licking at some of the cum that had ended up on his fingertips. "Mmmm...you taste very good, Yuu-chan." he said. Yuu's cheeks flushed a bright red as he tried to look anywhere but at Mika. Mika laughed softly as he moved in to press a chaste kiss to his forehead. "You're too cute." he commented before pulling away. He then moved over to one of the dressers beside the bed, confusing Yuu. "Mika...? What are you looking for?" he asked. "Lube." Yuu arched a brow as Mika began sifting through the drawer before pulling out a blue tinted bottle. "Ah, found it." he said before closing the drawer. "What in the world? How does a hotel have those kinds of things set up in the room?" Yuu asked. "I actually ended up having Lacus book what this hotel calls a love suite. It's basically a suite that's meant for newlyweds." Mika explained. "N-Newlyweds?!" Yuu squawked out in shock. "Yeah." Mika stared at Yuu. "Yuu-chan, just what is it that you started thinking of?" he asked, a teasing smirk pulling at the corners of his lips. "W-Well...as you said that this is a room meant for newlyweds..." Yuu began to twiddle his thumbs nervously. "D...Do you think the people in the lobby saw us as a newlywed couple...?" he asked. "Hm, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Who knows..." Mika popped the lid of the bottle cap open with his thumb. "You can most definitely interpret it how you will. If you want to think of us as such, then there's no shame in that." he said. Yuu felt like his whole face was on fire as he watched Mika pour some lube onto his fingers. He helped shift them about on the bed so that Yuu's head was resting on a pillow. He watched Mika as he nestled himself in between his legs. He then felt a finger circle around his puckered entrance before slowly pushing in. A moan escaped Yuu's lips as Mika slowly pushed the lube-coated finger deeper into him. As soon as Mika's finger was swallowed up to the knuckle, he wiggled the finger about inside of him. Yuu squirmed a little, staring at Mika with a gaze that practically begged Mika to begin thrusting his finger in and out of him. Luckily, Mika was able to catch the hint as he began to slowly thrust his finger in and out of Yuu's hole. Yuu moaned as Mika moved his finger at a slow pace. Yuu rolled his eyes up to the ceiling, trying to focus on it as his body began to succumb to the pleasure. A gasp was suddenly torn from his throat as Mika inserted a second finger, grabbing desperately for the sheets as Mika scissored inside of him.  "Unnngh...Oh, shit..." Yuu tilted his head back into the pillow. "More, please..." he whispered out in a breathless moan. Mika said nothing as he continued to scissor his insides with his fingers. He then switched to thrusting, eliciting lustful moans from Yuu. He then crooked his fingers upward, the tips of his finger brushing against Yuu's prostate. A choked out moan fell from Yuu's lips once Mika's fingers touched that spot. He felt the pleasure build up inside of him as Mika began to massage his prostate. He swore he had begun to see stars as Mika continued. "Ah...shit...hell yes, more...!" he gasped out as Mika resumed fucking his hole with his fingers, nailing his prostate each time. Yuu hissed, biting down on his lip hard enough to draw some blood. The pleasure began to coil up in the pit of his stomach, trailing down to his nether regions. His reawakened erection twitched at the stimulation of his prostate. "Oh! Mika!" more stars dotted his vision. "Yes, yes, please, more, give me more..." he babbled on, the pleasure making him lose his mind. He glanced down to see Mika staring at him, his blue orbs burning with lust and need. Yuu nearly came at the sight, but before he could, Mika withdrew his fingers. Yuu whined at the loss of Mika's fingers, wiggling his hips down to meet Mika's. "Hold on, not just yet." Mika said as he reached for the lube, pouring some more into his hands. He then coated his length generously with it. Yuu swallowed, watching how Mika's erection stood proudly against his chest. He felt this sense of pride well up inside of him, knowing that only he could make Mika grow hard like that. He watched with bated breath as Mika lined the head of his cock with Yuu's stretched entrance. "I'm going to push in. Are you ready?" Mika asked. Yuu nodded. "Yes, I'm ready. Give it to me, Mika." Yuu said. Mika stared at Yuu before moving in towards him. He threaded his fingers through Yuu's hair before pressing a firm kiss to Yuu's lips. At that moment, he began to push into him. Yuu gasped into Mika's mouth as the head slipped inside. It felt like the first time they had done it all over again. The feeling of being filled to the brim was so overwhelming that it made Yuu whimper. Mika cooed softly, stroking Yuu's hair as he pulled away slowly. "Does it hurt, Yuu-chan?" he asked, concern dancing about in his eyes. Yuu shook his head. "No...it just feels so good..." he trailed off. "Okay. Just tell me if you feel any pain, alright?" Mika asked. "Yeah." Yuu replied. Mika resumed pushing into him, pressing a kiss to Yuu's lips every so often. He rubbed soothing circles into Yuu's scalp gently as he pushed the rest of the way in. Yuu moaned into Mika's ear, feeling Mika fill him up to the hilt. Yuu moved his arms to wrap themselves around Mika's neck, bringing Mika closer so that their foreheads touched. "You can...move now..." Yuu whispered out. Mika nodded as he pulled nearly all the way out before slamming back into him. A gasp fell from Yuu's lips as Mika began to slowly thrust into him. Moans and gasps filled the air as Mika continued. Yuu felt like his body was on fire, his senses tingling.  "Ah...Mika..." he panted out. He then let out a loud cry, feeling the tip of Mika's cock brush against his prostate. His toes curled and uncurled themselves in the sheets as he arched into Mika's chest. "It seems I found your prostate." Mika commented. He snapped his hips into Yuu's, nailing his prostate every time. Moan after moan was drawn from Yuu's lips as he arched his back even more. His nails dragged along Mika's back, creating red marks that were surely going to be there in the morning. "Oh, shit! More!" Yuu moaned out. His head lolled backwards into the pillow as his prostate was continuously hammered into. He weakly rolled his hips in time with Mika's thrusts, hoping to suck him in even deeper. He could feel that familiar heat coil up in his nether regions, his erect cock bobbing against his chest. Mika had one hand on the pillow by Yuu's head as he reached down with his other hand to stroke Yuu in time with his thrusts. He swore he saw more stars burst in his vision as he choked out a sob. "Ah...Mika...it feels so...good..." tears pooled in the corners of his eyes. "Dammit, it feels so amazing..." he panted out. Mika moved in to lick at his tears, kissing his eyelids softly before moving down to kiss him on the lips again. Mika managed to swallow another one of Yuu's moans as he stroked his cock faster. Their lips smacked wetly against one another, their teeth and tongues clashing together as Yuu felt himself being driven closer and closer to the edge. "Oh shit..." Yuu broke away from the kiss. "I...I'm going to cum...!" he cried out. "Same...I'm going to cum, as well..." Mika grunted out. Yuu stared up into Mika's eyes, watching how they were glazed over with lust. He ran his fingers through the blond's hair as he spoke. "Mika...I love you..." he brought their foreheads together. "Dammit, I love you so much that it hurts..." he trailed off. Mika's eyes widened a small fraction as he stared down at the male under him. Yuu panted harshly, his orgasm about to hit him at any moment. His cheeks were flushed red up to his ears and his mouth was open to let loose some more moans. He moved in even closer to Yuu, his breath tickling Yuu's cheek as he whispered something softly to him. Yuu's eyes widened in shock before he let out a lustful cry, his orgasm hitting him with full force. His body shook, his vision blanking as cum coated his chest. He dragged his nails along Mika's back in a jagged line, his whole body arching off the bed. At the same time, Yuu's hole clenched around Mika's length. Mika grunted lowly, spilling his seed deep inside of Yuu. Yuu moaned as Mika rocked their hips together, riding out his orgasm. They stayed still for a few moments, Mika moving to rest his head beside Yuu's. Mika managed to catch his breath before pulling out of Yuu with a pop, Yuu grunting at the loss of something inside of him. Some of Mika's cum spilled out of his hole. Mika flopped down beside him, feeling just as spent as Yuu did. Yuu mewled, shifting his body a bit so that he was curling into Mika's chest. Mika chuckled softly, pulling the boy closer. "You're too cute." he said, pressing a kiss to Yuu's forehead. He could taste the sweat on Yuu's forehead as he brought his head under his chin, stroking Yuu's back softly as the two of them were lulled into a peaceful rest. Chapter End Notes *Come shout at me on Tumblr at this link right over here: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ Also, have a happy Valentine's Day! :3 ***** The Frayed Thread ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, fluff Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with a new chapter of IASWASB. This is also known as the chapter where I remember that Yoichi and Tomoe own a cat and a dog XDDD So, if you guys have noticed, the amount of chapters that this story will have has gone up from 24 to 26 (so, basically, up by two). The reason for that is because when I was discussing this story with a friend about a week and a half ago (if my memory serves me right), she pointed out that if the conflict is about to start very soon, it would mean that the conflict would last for three chapters max. I thought it over and then realized "that doesn't sound realistic..." So, I'm going to stretch the conflict out for an additional two chapters. And as we are on the subject of conflict...the second half of this chapter (after Mika drops Yuu off by Yoichi's place) kind of helps to set up the main conflict with what is about to happen to Tomoe being the driving force(?) of said main conflict (if that makes any sense lol). I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D See the end of the chapter for more notes Yuu stirred, stretching a little. He tilted his head up to look at Mika, who had drifted off to sleep. He smiled softly. "He's sleeping...how cute..." he thought to himself. He reached up to brush some blond locks behind Mika's ear. He played a little with Mika's ear before shifting so that he could see what the time was. His lower hip screamed in pain as he tried to grab for the alarm clock sitting on the nightstand without shifting into an uncomfortable position. The clock currently read 3:55am. "Almost four in the morning, huh..." Yuu mumbled, setting the alarm clock back on the nightstand. He wiggled back under the sheets (he was surprised that they managed to even get under the sheets, to begin with), resting his head on the pillow as he heard a tired mumble come from behind. "Yuu-chan...?" Mika's voice was groggy with sleep as he called for him. "Mmmm." Yuu hummed out as he felt Mika shift so that their bodies were flush against one another, Mika's arm slung over his waist. Mika buried his nose in Yuu's hair, nuzzling his head softly. "How come you woke up?" Mika asked. "My body seemed to wake up on its own." Yuu replied. "Ah." Mika said, rubbing circles into Yuu's pelvis with his thumb. Yuu hummed in content, adjusting his head so that it rested against Mika's shoulder. "And? Why are you up?" Yuu asked. "Because a certain someone started shifting about on the bed." Mika commented. Yuu chuckled. "Sorry for waking you. I thought I'd check the time." Yuu explained. Mika grunted as he buried his face into the crook of Yuu's neck. Yuu sighed, peering into the darkness of the room. "Hey, Mika." he spoke. "Yes?" Mika murmured into Yuu's neck, his breath making the small hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He shuddered a little as he spoke. "Did you really mean what you said?" Yuu asked. "What I said...?" Mika mumbled out. "Yeah. Is that how you truly feel?" Yuu asked. "Mmmm. It was all true. But, let's not think about that right now. We can talk about it in the morning." Mika said, pulling Yuu even closer. Yuu frowned, not liking how Mika was dodging the subject. But, he chose to dismiss the thought for now as he let himself be lulled back to sleep by the feeling of Mika rubbing comforting circles into his skin and the sound of Mika's heartbeat against his ear. =============================================================================== When Yuu awoke next, streams of sunlight shone in his eyes. He squinted his eyes a little, the sunlight nearly blinding him. He yawned, looking over at the window where Mika stood. He watched the blond slip back into his clothes, buttoning up his jeans and slipping back on his button up shirt. "Mika...?" Yuu croaked out. Mika seemed to have heard him, for he turned to look at him. A soft smile graced his lips as he made his way over to Yuu. "I see you're awake." Mika knelt down to Yuu's height, reaching out to sweep Yuu's bangs away, revealing his forehead. "Good morning, beautiful." he greeted before pressing a chaste kiss to Yuu's forehead. Yuu's cheeks flushed red at the affectionate pet name as Mika pulled away, moving his hand away from Yuu's hair and bringing it down to cup his cheek, stroking the rise of his cheekbone lightly with his thumb. "I assume that you slept well?" Mika asked as he withdrew his hand. Yuu nodded. "Yeah. This bed is really comfortable." Yuu said as he began to sit up. His hips screeched in pain, causing him to shift a little so that it wouldn't hurt as much. He stretched, watching how Mika finished buttoning up his shirt and he proceeded to roll up the sleeves. "So, what's the plan?" Yuu asked, carefully slipping out of the bed. "Well, I was going to take you out for breakfast before taking you back home." Mika explained as he turned to face him. That was when his cheeks flushed red. "Hm? Mika, what's wrong?" Yuu asked. "You're..." Mika trailed off. Yuu looked down at himself and he blushed. "Ah! I...I should probably change back into my clothes..." Yuu murmured before looking away. Mika looked away, as well, training his eyes on the streams of sunlight coming in from the curtains as Yuu scrambled to pick up his clothing from the floor and he headed into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Mika sighed, sinking down onto the edge of the bed as he listened to the water rushing from inside the bathroom. "Dammit..." he ran his fingers through his blond hair. "I need to keep my cool around him or else I'll lose it like I did last night..." he muttered under his breath. =============================================================================== Yuu's eyes sparkled at the stack of pancakes before him. "Wow! It looks like it came out of the cover of a food magazine!" he gushed as he observed his plate. He poked at one of the raspberries sitting atop a triple berry compote, frowning. "It would be such a shame to eat it..." he trailed off. Mika chuckled into his cup of caramel macchiato. "It would also be a shame to not eat it, since it seems like it would taste very delicious." Mika commented. "Mmmm...you're right..." Yuu murmured before reaching for his knife and fork and cutting into the stack of pancakes. He stuck the fluffy and sweet concoction of pancake, powdered sugar, syrup, berry compote, and fresh raspberry into his mouth, letting out a satisfied hum as it melted in his mouth. Mika smiled at him as he rested his cup down on the table and he began to dig into his omelette. They had chosen to dine at a small cafe on the outskirts of the city, the small white building surrounded by colorful flowers and beautiful greenery. Yuu had commented that it looked like a cute cottage in the springtime, liking the homey aura that the cafe gave off. He brought a piece of egg, Italian sausage, and melted cheddar cheese into his mouth as Yuu dragged a piece of pancake through a small puddle of berry compote and maple syrup.  "These pancakes are the bomb! I definitely want to come here more often." Yuu commented. "That can be arranged." Mika said. "For real?!" Yuu asked, stuffing the piece of pancake into his mouth. Mika nodded. "Yeah. If you want, we can come here for breakfast every weekend." Mika suggested. Yuu smiled. "I would like that." he said, reaching for his cup of hot chocolate and taking a sip, some of the whip cream getting onto his upper lip. Mika brought another piece of his omelette to his mouth and he stopped, taking notice of the whip cream along Yuu's upper lip. "Ah, you got some whip cream on your upper lip." he commented. "Eh? I did?" Yuu questioned. "Yeah, let me get it for you." Mika said as he grabbed for a napkin sitting in a ceramic rooster napkin holder and he leaned over the table just a bit, bringing the napkin to Yuu's upper lip. He watched Yuu's cheeks turn red as Mika brushed the napkin along his lip. Mika bit his lip, watching how Yuu's lips shone with maple syrup and a little bit of the berry compote. "Dammit, he looks so cute! I really want to kiss him." he thought to himself. "You also have some powdered sugar on your mouth." Mika commented. "I do? Oh geez, I am a total mess...can you get it for me- - -" Yuu watched as Mika let the napkin fall to the side of his plate and Mika pressed their lips together in a kiss. Yuu's eyes grew as wide as saucers, but they quickly slid closed as he kissed back. Yuu's fingers curled around the edge of the cloth-covered table as Mika's tongue lashed out at his lips, causing a strained whimper to escape from him. "I lied." Mika murmured against the boy's lips as he pulled away, observing the furiously blushing male before him. "E-Eh? That...was a lie?" Yuu asked. Mika nodded. "Yeah. Sorry, I couldn't help it." Mika looked at him. "I just really wanted to kiss you." he said. Yuu began twiddling with his thumbs, the blush on his cheeks turning even more red. "U-Uh...I..." Yuu stuttered out, trying to formulate a complete sentence, but failing.  Mika chuckled. "Your lips tasted very sweet. I liked it." he said, shooting Yuu a small wink. The blush on Yuu's cheeks began to spread to the tips of his ears as he went back to his stack of pancakes. They fell into a comfortable silence, the silence occasionally being filled with either idle chatter or the clinking of their utensils against their plates. Once they had finished with their food, Mika waved over a waitress to take their dishes away and he had gotten up to pay their bill at the counter. As Yuu waited for Mika to finish, he felt his phone vibrate against the table. "Hm? I wonder if that's Guren..." he trailed off in his thoughts as he unlocked his phone and went into his messages app, reading the message that he just got. [09:39:10am] hey can u come by??? i've run into a slight problem & i am not so sure i can handle it alone... ~Yoichi (꒪ω꒪υ)  Yuu arched a brow in confusion. "A slight problem? I wonder what that might mean..." he drummed his fingers along his thigh. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to go there and find out." he thought to himself as he sent a reply to Yoichi. [09:40:17am] Okay. I'll be there soon. ~Yuu ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ He sent his text as Mika waved him over. Yuu smiled as he got up, pushed his chair in, slipped his phone into his jeans pocket, and he made his way over to Mika. "Bye, have a nice day!" the woman at the cashier called out to them as they stepped out into the parking lot. "So, ready for me to take you back home?" Mika asked, twirling his car keys around his finger. "Actually, about that..." Yuu trailed off. "Hm? What is it?" Mika asked, shooting a glance in his direction as they stopped by Mika's car. "Can you actually take me to Yoichi's house instead?" he requested. Mika quirked a brow at this, but he still nodded his head nonetheless. "Of course. Get in." Mika said as he unlocked the car. They slipped into the vehicle, clicking in their seat belts and Mika reversed out of the parking spot he was in. Yuu quickly sent a text to Guren, saying that he was stopping by Yoichi's place for a bit before Mika drove out of the parking lot and he began to head to Yoichi's house. An Adele song began to play as Mika spoke. "So, why does Yoichi need you to come by his place?" Mika asked. "He said he had some problem that he wasn't sure that he could deal with alone. He didn't specify what it was, though." Yuu explained. "I see..." Mika trailed off. They slipped into silence, the only noise being Adele singing the last verse for her song Hello before switching over to a Demi Lovato song. Yuu played with one of the tears in his jeans, tugging on one of the loose strands. He would occasionally sneak a peek at Mika, who would tap his fingers against the steering wheel along to the beat of the song every once in a while as he kept his eyes focused on the road. As he stared at the blond, he faintly recalled what they had talked about during their small pillow talk session at nearly four o'clock this morning. "Ah...I almost forgot that that was on my mind..." he thought to himself. He gnawed a little on his bottom lip, diverting his gaze back to the road. "He said that what he told me was true, but...is it really? We started this relationship based on my needs and desires...I didn't really care about the outcome just as long as I had Mika by my side. When did our relationship begin to escalate?" he asked himself. The scenery gradually grew familiar as they neared Yoichi's community. Yuu swallowed, tugging more on the loose thread in his torn jeans. It was now or never. He opened his mouth to speak when Mika beat him to it. "Okay, we're here." he said. Yuu instantly clamped his mouth shut, looking to see that they had arrived at Yoichi's house. "Oh...okay." Yuu said. "Will you be alright? Do you want me to stay out here while you talk with Yoichi?" Mika asked. "No, it's okay. I can just call for an Uber." Yuu told him. Mika sighed. "If you say so..." he trailed off as Yuu reached for his seat belt. "Well, I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow." Yuu said as he got ready to step out of Mika's car. Before he could, Mika spoke. "Wait." he grabbed for Yuu's wrist, stopping him from leaving. "Is everything okay? You look like you wanted to say something." he said. Yuu swallowed, keeping his eyes on the door handle. He wanted to discuss what Mika had said to him last night, but he stopped himself. What if he had only said it as they were both in the throes of pleasure? What if he only said that what he said was true because he was half awake at the time and it was the only thing he could come up with? Yuu bit down on his bottom lip, nearly drawing blood as he spoke. "It...It's nothing. I would probably sound stupid, anyway." he said. He could see in the reflection of the window that Mika had arched a brow, blue eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at him. He looked like he wanted to push the subject further, but he chose not to. "If you say so." Mika glanced down before glancing back up at him. "Before you go..." he said. Yuu turned to look at Mika as their lips came together in a soft kiss. Yuu instantly melted, the addicting taste of caramel and coffee making his mind go blank. Mika pulled away from the kiss, half-lidded blue staring into dazed green. "See you tomorrow." he said. Yuu stared into Mika's eyes for a few moments before speaking. "...Yeah." he replied before creating a reasonable distance between them and opening the car door, stepping out of the vehicle. He closed the car door behind him and he began to make his way up to the front door. He heard as Mika reversed out of the driveway and he drove off, leaving Yuu in front of Yoichi's front door.  He sighed, reaching up to ring the doorbell. The sound resonated throughout the household, signaling that someone was at the door. He watched as the door opened to reveal Yoichi in a pair of Superman pajamas, his hair sticking up in various directions, semi-dark circles under his tired eyes, and Tulip curled up in his arms. "Hey..." Yoichi greeted, a yawn escaping his lips mid-greeting. "Hey." Yuu observed Yoichi. "Damn, you look like a zombie." he commented. Yoichi chuckled. "Gee, thanks." he stepped aside. "I put Azaria outside so that Tulip can roam around for a little bit. Come in." he said. "Excuse the intrusion..." Yuu murmured before stepping inside, unlacing his boots and setting them off to the side by where Yoichi's sneakers and one of Tomoe's many pairs of stilettos were. Yoichi let Tulip go, reaching to lock the door behind them. "Why do you look so dead?" Yuu asked. "I had Kimizuki come over last night. He said that Shinoa had to cancel their date so that she could help you get ready for yours, so he wanted to sulk and chose to crash here." Yuu's cheeks flushed red as he recalled his date with Mika. "We played games on my Wii U until the early morning and we ended up falling asleep. Kimizuki was still asleep when I woke up to some sounds coming from downstairs. I went downstairs and...well..." Yoichi trailed off. "And? Does this have to do with your problem?" Yuu asked. "It has everything to do with my problem." Yoichi began to lead Yuu in the direction of the living room. "Please bear with me through this and especially with Tomoe. She's been upset since God knows how long." he said. "Huh? Upset?" Yuu arched a brow in confusion. "What exactly do you mean by that- - -" they walked into the living room and Yuu stared at the couch with wide eyes. Tomoe was curled up on the couch, wrapped up in so many blankets that she resembled a "blanket burrito," as Shinoa and Mitsuba liked to call it. Her hair looked messy and tangled and her makeup was an absolute mess. Streaks of mascara stained her cheeks, making it looked like she had been crying for hours.  She rose her head to look at Yuu, diverting her attention from whatever TV show was playing on the television. "Ah...hello, Yuu..." she croaked out, forcing a smile onto her lips. "Tomoe..." Yuu trailed off. There was a beeping sound as Yoichi turned his head in the direction of the kitchen. "Ah, that must be the coffee machine..." he glanced over at Yuu. "Yuu, you take two sugar cubes and some creamer in your coffee, right?" he asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah." he replied. "Okay, let me finish up the coffee and I'll come join you guys just now." Yoichi said before heading off into the kitchen. Yuu glanced over at Tomoe, who seemed to curl up deeper into the blankets. He made his way over to the couch, sitting down to her left as Tulip came strolling into the living room. She leapt up, making herself comfortable on Yuu's lap as Yuu spoke. "So...how bad was it?" Yuu asked, not sure where to begin asking without setting her off. "Pr...Pretty bad..." Tomoe murmured out. He could see her fingers tremble against the blankets as she gripped onto them tightly. Yoichi walked into the living room with a tray that had three coffee mugs on them. He set it down on the coffee table, handed everyone their individual coffee mugs, and Yoichi sat down to Tomoe's right. "So? Will you tell me what happened last night?" Yoichi asked, staring at his sister with concern as he took a sip from his mug. Tomoe stared down at her coffee, letting the mug warm her hands as some steam gently drifted into her face. "Well...as you know, yesterday was Lacus and I's four year anniversary..." Tomoe trailed off. Yoichi's grip on his coffee mug tightened at the mention of Lacus. "What did that little shit do?" Yoichi asked. Tomoe gripped her cup tighter. "Well...he had reserved a table for us at this nice restaurant in honor of our four year anniversary. I was getting ready for our date and as I was about to leave, he told me that we should probably cancel the date because they kicked our reservation out at the last minute. At that point, I had just enough of Lacus's excuses. Plus, since when does a restaurant cancel your reservation without letting you know beforehand? So, I called an Uber and I headed into town where the restaurant was. When I got there, I found Lacus with..." tears began to well up in her eyes. "...with another woman..." she choked out. Yuu's eyes widened. "What the hell...?" he murmured out. "I...I really wanted to be wrong..." she sniffled, reaching a hand up to furiously swipe at her tears as the blankets fell from her head and onto her shoulders. "I really wanted to believe that...that Lacus wouldn't do such a thing...that he wouldn't cheat on me...But...just seeing him being all smiles with that woman made me snap. I went up to the table, picked up his glass, and splashed his drink all over him. I cussed him out right in the middle of the restaurant and then broke it off with him. I told him to never show his face to me again." Tomoe took a sip from her mug. "Then, I went over by my friend's dorm room and crashed there, since I didn't want to ruin your sleepover with Kimizuki..." she finished her explanation. "Tomoe..." Yoichi put his mug down. "You didn't have to do that. You could've just come straight home. Kimizuki wouldn't have cared if I needed to comfort you in any way." he said. "I know. It's just...I needed some time to vent..." she resumed her sniffling. "I...I really loved him. I loved him so much and yet, he...he did something like that..." she began to choke out a couple of sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I thought he loved me, too! He promised that we'd be together forever! I thought...I thought...I thought we were meant to be..." she trailed off. Yuu felt his heart constrict as Tomoe sobbed, wiping away at her tears. The blankets slowly slipped off her shaking form as she continued to cry. Yoichi had an unreadable look on his face as he began to rub her back soothingly. "Tomoe. As we're on the subject of Lacus, there is something I have been meaning to tell you." he said. Tomoe hiccuped. "What is it?" she asked. Yuu swallowed, knowing what was going to happen next. Yoichi was finally going to bring up the truth that he had hidden from her for so long. "Tomoe..." Yoichi let out a shaky sigh. "Lacus, he...this isn't the first time he's cheated on you." he said. The tears stopped falling down Tomoe's cheeks as she looked over at him, her eyes wide. "What...?" she whispered out. "I am telling the truth. I've had this bad feeling about him ever since you two began dating, but my suspicions were confirmed after your graduation ceremony. He's been cheating on you since then." Yoichi continued to rub her back. "Yuu and I found him getting a blowjob in the bathroom after the ceremony and he had sex with that girl afterwards. Not only that, I believe he was also dating seven other women besides you. The girl at the restaurant with him may as well be one of those seven women." he explained. "What the...?" she continued to stare at him. "Why...? Why would you keep such valuable information from me?! If I had known what he was doing ahead of time, then---!" Yoichi cut her off. "The reason I didn't say anything was because you looked so happy with him!" Yoichi shouted. Tomoe kept quiet, staring at Yoichi with wide eyes as he continued speaking. "You were so happy, Tomoe! Hell, it had been the happiest you had ever been ever since our parents died! I didn't want you to lose that happiness because I disapproved of the guy you were so in love with. So, I kept quiet." Yoichi explained. "So...all those times you had picked arguments with me about Lacus...it was because you knew all along that he was a good-for-nothing douchebag..." she trailed off. Yoichi nodded. "Yes. I had known all along." he said. This caused her to sniffle, tears welling up in her eyes once again. "Gosh, I am so stupid...I was so lost in my fantasy world with Lacus that I didn't even see him for who he truly was: a lying, two-faced bastard...I feel like an idiot..." she murmured as more tears slipped down her cheeks. "Tomoe, you're not stupid." Yoichi pulled her into a hug. "You had no idea." he said. "But, you did. I...I should've listened to you..." she hugged him back. "I don't need Lacus. Why should I need him when I've got the perfect guy right here with me?" she asked. Yoichi chuckled. "I'm flattered." he said, smiling softly as he ran his fingers through her hair, untangling the knots in it. Yuu watched as Yoichi comforted his sister, whispering comforting words to her as he held her close. "Their sibling bond truly is something else...I almost envy them..." he thought to himself. He then shook his head. "I shouldn't be thinking like that. I'm satisfied with the family I have." he told himself. Yoichi pulled away from the hug. "Feeling any better?" he asked. "I am, yeah." she smiled at him. "Thanks, Yoichi." she thanked him. "Of course. Anything for my older sister." Yoichi reached for his phone and he looked at the time. "Ah, Kimizuki should be waking up soon. I'll go and start making breakfast." he said before standing up and heading off into the kitchen. Yuu took a sip from his mug as he watched Tomoe take a sip from hers. She glared down at the mug, watching the coffee slosh about in it. "Wow, I can't believe I was so gullible. I let Lacus play me like a fiddle..." she chuckled bitterly. "And look at how it all turned out...I'm a total mess right now..." she mumbled. Yuu said nothing as he took another sip, draining the rest of his coffee. As he put his empty mug down on the coffee table, she turned to face him, a serious look spread across her face. "Yuu. Aren't you really close with Mika?" she asked. "Eh?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice. "I...I am. Why are you asking?" he asked, startled by how she asked him such a question out of the blue. "It's just...he's also pretty close with Lacus..." she murmured under her breath. Yuu arched a brow at her murmured statement. He opened his mouth to ask her what she had meant when she spoke again. "Yuu, please be careful around Mika. He might try and play you if you're not. I mean, he's friends with Lacus, after all." she pointed out. Yuu swallowed. "Y-Yeah...I'll...make sure I keep an eye on him..." Yuu trailed off. Yoichi finished making breakfast a few minutes later and Kimizuki came stumbling down the stairs, his glasses askew on the bridge of his nose, his hair mussed up with bedhead, and his pajamas rumpled up from possibly tossing and turning in his sleep. They ate in relative silence, letting the sounds from the TV fill it. As Yuu nibbled on some bacon (he only took a couple strips of bacon, as he had eaten a whole stack of pancakes with Mika earlier), Tomoe's words floated about in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he saw it as impossible. Mika wouldn't do such a thing. ...Would he? Chapter End Notes Did somebody ask for...angst??? ***** The Thread Snaps ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, angst Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I have gone through hell and back (exams, essays, Japanese tests, falling sick at the end of my spring break), but I have survived and am back with the next chapter of IASWASB! The angst is about to get real in this chapter. Oh, fun fact: I had to rewrite the last scene about three times before I was fine with it cuz it just wasn't flowing the way I needed to. :/ I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on (and enjoy the angst)! :D *This chapter starts out after they have breakfast at the cafe outside the city, but this time, it's from Mika's perspective* See the end of the chapter for more notes Mika knew that it was too good to be true. The moment Yoichi's name fell from Yuu's lips, their picture perfect breakfast date had shattered.  Couldn't they just enjoy each other's company without Yuu having to mention his friends (especially Yoichi) at least once? He held back a sigh as he nodded. "Of course. Get in." he said as he unlocked the car. They got into the vehicle, clicking in their seat belts. Mika reversed out of the parking spot he was in before driving out of the parking lot and making their way to Yoichi's house. He had dropped Yuu off there so many times that he knew the route like the back of his hand. He wanted to chuckle bitterly at this, but he kept it to himself. An Adele song began to play as he chose to break the silence. "So, why does Yoichi need you to come by his place?" he asked, gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary. He kept his eyes on the road so that he wouldn't have to look at Yuu (and also so that he didn't swerve off the road). "He said he had some problem that he wasn't sure that he could deal with alone. He didn't specify what it was, though." Yuu explained. "I see..." Mika trailed off. They slipped into silence, the only noise being Adele singing the last verse for her song Hello before switching over to a Demi Lovato song. Mika tapped his fingers against the steering wheel along to the beat of the song, knowing the song by heart. It was one of her older songs, Here We Go Again. He kept his eyes on the road as he began to think. "I can't believe I'm getting jealous of Yuu's friend. I mean, it shouldn't bother me that he's close with him, to begin with." he slowed his tapping on the steering wheel. "I'm such a fool." he thought to himself. As he turned left, he was reminded of last night and what he had said to him. He bit the inside of his cheek. "And what I said to him...I can't believe I did that. It was a total slip of the tongue. But...it felt like the right thing to say at the moment..." he thought to himself. He chanced a glance at the boy when he was certain that he wasn't looking at him. "Though, I must say, I'm quite surprised. I thought he would be the first to bring it up, since that seems to be his thing whenever we need to talk about something important...maybe he doesn't see it as something big?" he asked himself. He then felt his heart twist painfully at the thought. "Ouch." he thought to himself. He redirected his gaze back to the road as the scenery gradually grew familiar. He pulled into Yoichi's community, driving down the slightly windy roads to his house. He arrived at the house moments later, pulling into the driveway. "Okay, we're here." he said. "Oh...okay." Yuu said. Mika narrowed his eyes as he observed the boy. He looked like he clearly was about to say something. He briefly wondered if he was thinking about last night, but smothered the thought as he spoke. "Will you be alright? Do you want me to stay out here while you talk with Yoichi?" Mika asked, shooting the boy a concerned look. "No, it's okay. I can just call for an Uber." Yuu told him. Mika sighed. "If you say so..." he trailed off as Yuu reached for his seat belt. "Well, I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow." Yuu said as he got ready to step out of Mika's car. Before he could, Mika spoke. "Wait." he grabbed for Yuu's wrist, stopping him from leaving. "Is everything okay? You looked like you were about to say something." he said. He took note of how Yuu swallowed, making sure that his eyes were anywhere but on him. Something was clearly bothering him. The more troubled Yuu looked, the more Mika continued to believe that he really wanted to bring up the subject. He watched in the reflection of the window as Yuu bit down on his bottom lip, nearly drawing blood as he spoke. "It...It's nothing. I would probably sound stupid, anyway." he said. Mika arched a brow, slightly narrowing his eyes as he stared at him. Even from the window, he could see the question dancing around in his eyes.  Did you really mean what you said to me last night? The question swam about in Yuu's emerald eyes, but the question was never spoken. It was like something was preventing the boy from asking him. Just what was it that was holding him back? Was it not the right time to bring it up? Was Yuu waiting for him to bring it up? Or...did he believe that what he had told him held no meaning at all? Did he think that his words were just empty promises and shallow statements that he only used just to get a positive reaction from him? He wanted to ask him so badly, but he knew how Yuu usually got when he pushed a subject too much. So, he kept quiet. Maybe he would bring it up another time. "If you say so." Mika glanced down before glancing back up at him. "Before you go..." he trailed off. He watched Yuu turn as he leaned across the glove compartment, capturing Yuu's lips in a soft kiss. He felt Yuu instantly melt into the kiss, kissing him back just as firmly. Mika could taste the tartness of the berry compote and the sugary sweetness of the maple syrup on his lips. The taste was enough to nearly drive Mika insane. He pulled away from the kiss, staring up at him with half- lidded eyes. "See you tomorrow." he said. Yuu continued to stare at him before he spoke. "...Yeah." Mika felt a small frown pull his lips downward as he watched Yuu distance himself from him. He opened the car door and stepped out, closing the car door behind him. Mika watched him make his way up to the front door before reversing out of the driveway and driving off. As he drove back home, he began to silently reflect on their wacky relationship. When did things begin to change between the two of them? Was it their awkward first date at the aquarium? Or was it the morning after they had reenacted the rape fantasy Yuu had written out in his binder? He knew that this relationship had only started because Yuu was too curious for his own good and Mika thought of him as amusing, watching how flustered the boy would get over every little thing he said or did to him. Their relationship wasn't supposed to have any emotions involved. None of them were supposed to fall this hard. Mika groaned, stopping at a red light to slam his head against the steering wheel. "Dammit. I really have gone and done it, haven't I...?" he mumbled under his breath. =============================================================================== "So, you finally figured it out?" Krul asked as she bit into her pepperoni calzone. Mika nodded. "Yeah." he slumped over the table, eyeing his three friends. "I am head over heels for him." he said. "Oh, thank god! I seriously cannot believe that it took you this long to figure it out..." Ferid trailed off. "Are you telling me that I was being that obvious?" Mika asked, shooting a look at Ferid as Ferid dipped a french fry in some ranch. "You were. You looked like you were practically drooling over the boy." Crowley commented. "Ugh..." Mika groaned, pressing his cheek against the cool surface of the table. "Okay, I have a question." Ferid stared down at Mika. "How exactly did you end up getting involved with a guy like him, to begin with? I never really expected you to be into the shy, reserved type." Ferid commented. Mika frowned, contemplating whether or not he should tell them the truth. How would they react if he told them that he had happened to read the boy's smut binder and as a result, they began reenacting some of the scenes in the binder? How would they react if he told them that him and Yuu have had sex on multiple occasions, including the guest bedroom at Crowley's house? Mika swallowed, wondering how he should go about that. "Oi! Earth to Mika! Helloooooo!" Krul called out, poking at Mika's cheek with one of Ferid's fries. "Hm?" Mika groaned out. "Tell us! If you're wondering if we're going to judge you or not, just know that we aren't. I'm sure that whatever it is, Crowley and Ferid have done way worse." Krul commented. Crowley pouted. "How mean..." he mumbled as he reached for a fry in Ferid's basket, dipped it in some ranch, and he popped it into his mouth. Ferid began to complain, which made Crowley chuckle as he took up another fry, dipped it in some ranch, and he fed it to Ferid in order to shut him up. "Okay, I think I'm ready now." the other three grew silent, now directing all their attention at Mika. "So, I feel like I may as well start from the very beginning." he began. "Go on. Take your time." Krul said as she grabbed for her bottle of Dr. Pepper and she cracked it open. She chugged some of the carbonated drink down as Mika spoke. "So, we first met in the hallway. We happened to bump into one another and our binders swapped. He had my Calculus binder while I had his binder that he...well...he wrote smut in it." Mika began his explanation. "Holy shit, what?! That guy actually has a smut binder?!" Ferid squawked out as he began to double over in laughter. Mika quickly hushed him, looking over to see if Yuu had heard them at all. However, he was too busy looking over Mitsuba's shoulder at something, much to the blond's relief. Crowley smacked Ferid's thigh under the table before looking at Mika, silently urging him to continue. "Okay...so, I ended up with his binder and I had gotten curious, so I decided to read through it. To my surprise, it turned me on." Mika continued. "Okay, now that I think about it, we had this conversation about the binder before." Ferid pointed out. "Yeah, we did. I remember now." Crowley pointed out. Mika nodded. "Yeah. So, the next day, I gave him back his binder and kind of teased him a little, since he most definitely had a crush on me. But, no matter how much I tried to move on, I just kept growing more and more intrigued by him. He invaded my thoughts constantly." Mika said. "Oh boy...I've read a lot of fanfiction to know what's going on here." Krul narrowed her eyes at him. "Let me guess: the two of you decided to engage in a sexual relationship that has now developed into something more." she guessed. "What?! Mika getting laid?! There's no way that's possible!" Ferid exclaimed as he looked over at Mika. His jaw dropped, watching how Mika's cheeks turned a bright shade of red as he fidgeted about in his seat. "Wait...for real...?" Ferid asked. Mika nodded. "Y-Yeah...Yuu and I have been having sex since Crowley's party..." he admitted. "Back since then? Damn." Crowley commented as he stole another fry from Ferid, who didn't seem to care at this point. "So, I'm assuming something happened between the two of you that caused this sudden shift in your relationship, am I right?" Krul asked. "Yeah. While I don't think it's best to go in depth about it, the situation changed my view on him entirely. Rather than odd curiosity, I felt more of a romantic pull to him. I honestly don't know why it took me this long to realize that I feel this way about him, but now that I have, it's such an amazing feeling." Mika explained. "Well, congrats, Mika! You finally know what it's like to be in love!" Ferid declared as he broke out in applause along with Crowley. Krul applauded a little before taking another sip from her soda. She then frowned against the mouth of the bottle. "Okay, I don't want to be the party pooper or anything, but..." she rested her bottle down. "There's a catch, isn't there?" she spoke up. Mika tensed, lowering his gaze to his empty plate. Ferid and Crowley stared at him with curious looks in their eyes as he spoke. "...Yeah. There is a catch." he admitted. "What catch? You're in love with him, aren't you? What's stopping you?" Ferid asked. "Maybe it's the same thing that stopped Crowley from spilling his guts to you until just recently?" Krul suggested. "Ugh, you don't need to remind me of how slow I was confessing to him!" Crowley complained. Ferid couldn't help but blush, diverting his gaze to his basket of fries as Mika shook his head. "No, it's not that. It's just..." Mika sighed, reaching up to run his fingers through his hair. "I don't...feel like I deserve him..." he murmured. "You don't deserve him?" Ferid and Crowley questioned in unison. "What do you mean by that?" Krul asked, clearly not expecting that to be Mika's reason. "It's just...the more I realize that I'm in love with Yuu, the more I realize just how much of a jackass I was to him. I mean, the only reason I offered to start up our relationship was because he intrigued me. I never had a guy fall for me before, let alone one that went so far as to write smut about the two of us. I always had girls falling for me left and right. But, with him, it was different. I grew curious about him and I wanted to see how he would react if I granted all of his crazy wild wishes. I treated him like...like a goddamn science experiment!" Mika's heart panged painfully at the realization. "I...I'm not worthy of him. I don't deserve to be with someone who truly loves me because of who I am and not because he was curious about me. I played him big time." he said. He gritted his teeth, his fingers clenching into a fist in his hair. "Yuu knew pretty damn well what it was that he was getting into. He was able to reenact scenes in his binder with me and willingly accepted the fact that his feelings will remain unrequited because I never felt that way about him. He was okay with going through all that emotional pain." he felt tears stinging at the corners of his eyes, but he managed to blink them back before they could fall. "Why should I stay by his side if I'll only continue to bring him pain?" he asked, his voice cracking a little. He tried to swallow the lump forming in his throat as he made sure not to look at Krul, Ferid, and Crowley. After a little while, Krul cleared her throat to speak. "May I state my opinion on this?" she asked. Mika stared at her for a few moments before nodding. "Okay. So, before you try to argue with me, just know that this is my opinion and that how you want to progress with this relationship of yours is ultimately up to you." Krul folded her hands out before her on the table, leaning forward slightly to stare at Mika. "You may feel like you don't deserve to be with him, but what does he think about being with you?" she asked. "Eh?" Mika questioned, the sudden question catching him by surprise. He blinked his eyes twice as Krul continued to speak. "Does he feel like this time that he's spent with you is a waste? Does he feel like those two dates you guys went on were not worth it? Does he feel like you're not worth it, Mika? If you think that that's what he thinks, then why is he bothering to stay around you? If he felt like he deserves someone that wasn't you, then he would've left you a long time ago." she explained. Mika's eyes widened as he took in every word Krul said. Yuu thinks he deserves him. Yuu think he's worth it. Yuu thinks that it's okay for Mika to want him regardless of how he treated him before. He swallowed, feeling a lump lodge itself in his throat. "Well, like I said, that was just my opinion. In the end, the choice is up to you." Krul pointed out as she leaned back in her chair. Mika let out a shaky breath that he didn't realize he was holding in as the lunch bell rang, signaling that lunch was over. "That's the bell." they all stood up and went to discard their plates in the trash. Krul shot Mika a look as they began to make their way into the crowded hallways. "At least think about it before making your decision, okay?" she said. Mika could only nod as they went their separate ways to class. =============================================================================== Yuu looked over at Mika as he dug his fork into the Italian sausage, red bell pepper, and mushroom frittata that he ordered to eat for breakfast that Sunday morning. "He's been awfully quiet...I wonder why that is..." he thought to himself. "Oi, Mika." he called out. "Hm?" Mika responded, putting his cup of caramel macchiato down on the table. "Are you okay? You keep zoning out." Yuu noted, reaching out to poke at Mika's cheek. Mika chuckled. "Everything's okay. I just have a lot on my mind, that's all." he said. "Like...?" Yuu asked. Yuu could've sworn that he saw Mika tense at the question, but he brushed it off as Mika spoke. "Ah, just...lots of homework, you know? It's been stressing me out recently." he admitted. "I see..." Yuu trailed off. If Yuu were being honest, he didn't quite buy the blond's answer. To him, it felt like Mika was stressing out about something other than homework. He poked at his frittata as Mika resumed eating his triple berry crêpe. He wanted to ask him what was really bothering him, but he decided against it. "I shouldn't ask him. He might end up acting all sensitive about it..." he thought to himself. They would engage in conversation every once in a while, but other than that, the air around them was deadly silent. After they finished eating, Mika paid for their meals and they got into his vehicle, Mika deciding to drop Yuu off back home. Yuu settled into his seat as a peppy pop song by Katy Perry floated through the speakers.  He snuck a couple of glances every once in a while at Mika. For some reason, it felt like the blond had gradually become distant. The thought made him frown. "He couldn't be trying to distance himself from me, is he?" Yuu wanted to smack himself. "No, that's utterly ridiculous. If he were trying to do that, then you would've been sleeping in and not eating breakfast with him." he told himself. He pulled on one of the straps of his deep blue hoodie. "Or...is he trying to distance himself from me emotionally?" he asked himself. His heart squeezed painfully as he entertained the thought. At the same time, Tomoe's words circled around in his head. "Yuu, please be careful around Mika. He might try and play you if you're not. I mean, he's friends with Lacus, after all." the words continued circling about in his head, causing him to tug more on his hoodie strap. "No, stop thinking like that." Mika turned left and began driving down the familiar road to Yuu's community."There's no way that could be possible, especially after what the two of you did and said last week. So, there's no need to be thinking like that." he told himself. He managed to convince himself of this as Mika pulled up in front of Yuu's house. "We're here." Mika said. "Okay." Yuu's tongue darted out to lick at his lips. As the moment felt somewhat right, he felt like he needed to say at least something to the blond. "Um...Mika?" he spoke up. "Yeah? What is it?" Mika asked. "You know..." he began to fidget a little in his seat. "You can tell me what's going on, right?" he asked. "Of course." Mika replied. "So," Yuu turned to look at him, his eyes boring into Mika's, "if you're hiding something from me right now, say so. I can't help you unless you tell me what's going on in that brain of yours." he said firmly, reaching out to rest a hand on Mika's. Yuu swore he saw Mika's eyes widen at his words. He decided to dismiss it as a figment of his imagination when he watched Mika open his mouth to speak. "There's nothing to worry about, Yuu-chan. I'm not hiding anything from you." he said. Yuu furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you sure?" he asked. "I am. Really, you don't have to worry." Mika said. Yuu wanted to push more, but the look in Mika's eyes told him that he should just let it be. He let out a sigh. "If you say so..." he murmured. He then leaned over, pressing a kiss to Mika's lips. Mika stiffened a little at the touch, but he quickly eased into it. Yuu pulled away, sitting back in his seat. "J-J-Just so you know! I...I'm always here whenever you need to talk about anything!" Yuu said, a blush beginning to collect on his cheeks. Mika blinked his eyes at Yuu twice before letting out a chuckle that had Yuu's heart racing. "I know, Yuu-chan." he said as he leaned over and pressed a kiss to Yuu's cheek. The blush on Yuu's cheeks began to travel up to his ears as Mika spoke against his flushed cheek. "I'll make sure to come to you if anything is wrong." he said. "You..." Yuu tried to look anywhere but at Mika. "You promise?" he asked, holding out his pinky for Mika. Mika smiled. "Of course, Yuu-chan." Mika said as he reached out and hooked their pinkies together. "Okay...just remember that it is a promise you must keep!" Yuu said before scrambling to get out of Mika's vehicle. "Bye! I'll see you at school tomorrow!" Yuu said. "Yeah." Mika replied. As Yuu closed the door and began to make his way up to the front door, he failed to see the distressed look that washed over Mika's face. =============================================================================== [12:37:45pm] come 2 the athlete locker room now; this is urgent Yuu's eyebrow arched at the text that Mika had sent him the next day at lunch. "What the hell..." he muttered under his breath. "Yuu? Is something the matter?" Mitsuba asked, munching lightly on her fish stick. "It's nothing. It's just..." Yuu trailed off. "It's just what?" Mitsuba asked. "Mika just happened to send me a text." Yuu said. "What?!" Yuu noticed how Shinoa eyed him weirdly, an eyebrow arched as Mitsuba stared at him. "Lemme see, lemme see, lemme see!" she begged. "Okay, okay!" Yuu handed her his phone. "Here." he said. Mitsuba let out an overly chirpy thank you as she took his phone from him. Yoichi slurped up his Thai noodles with a pair of chopsticks as he looked over at them. "You give into her way too easily." Yoichi commented. Yuu sighed deeply. "If I tell her no, she'll tease me until I give in." Yuu explained. "I guess that's true..." Yoichi murmured as Mitsuba let out a dramatic gasp. "The locker rooms?!" she then wiggled her eyebrows at Yuu suggestively. "Could it be...are the two of you going to get all hot and wild in there?! Is this some sort of booty call?!" she asked. Yuu blushed furiously, his face resembling a fire hydrant. "It...It's not a booty call!" Yuu squeaked out. "It so is! How could it not be?!" Mitsuba asked. "Geh...!" Yuu exclaimed, causing Mitsuba to giggle as she handed his phone back to him. Yoichi glanced over Yuu's shoulder as Yuu tried to decide how to respond to Mika's text. "It says you have to meet up with him now because it's urgent..." he murmured. "Yeah, I know." Yuu said. "You should probably go. You don't want to keep him waiting, do you?" Kimizuki asked, pointing a fish stick in his direction. "Yeah, you're right...I should probably get going." Yuu said as he quickly stood up, grabbing for his things and sending a quick reply to Mika. [12:41:37pm] I'm coming! Mitsuba stole my phone and I had to try and get it back *rolls eyes* Yuu began to scurry out of the cafeteria as Mitsuba called out to him. "Have fun getting laid!" she shouted. Yuu whirled around and flipped her off, causing her to burst into loud cackles as he stomped out of the cafeteria. His mind began to buzz as he made his way to the athlete locker room. "Why does he want to meet up there, of all places? I would think he'd want to meet in the library or something..." he thought to himself. He ignored the buzzing of his phone in his jeans pocket as he turned the corner and he headed down the athletic hallway. He glanced at one of Mika's pictures in one of the display cases, bringing his bottom lip in between his teeth. "This reminds me of that day, in a way." he thought to himself. He blushed, thinking back to when Mika had dry humped him in the locker room. "Eeeeeeek! What if he wants to do it again?!" he asked himself. He reached up to smack his cheeks, looking at his reflection in the glass. "Control yourself, Yuu. You can't go to see Mika looking like this!" he chided to himself before turning and continuing down the hall. He stood in front of the door to the men's athletic locker room moments later. He reached out to turn the knob only to see that his hand was shaking. His eyes widened in surprise. "Shit...why is my hand trembling like this? Am I actually nervous about what he might have to say?" he quickly shook his head. "Stop it, Yuu! It's not like he has anything bad to say...right?" he asked himself. He let out a deep sigh. "Well...there's only one way to find out..." he muttered before reaching for the doorknob and turning it, making his way into the locker room. As soon as he closed the door behind him, his eyes locked on Mika. "Ah. H-Hello..." he greeted. Mika looked away from one of the lockers, catching his gaze immediately. He grinned at him. "Hello, Yuu-chan." he replied. Yuu swallowed, eyeing Mika in his teal v-neck shirt, dark denim flare cut jeans, and black Vans.  "Damn, he looks hot!" he thought to himself. He cleared his throat, immediately dismissing the thought. "S-So...what exactly is it that we need to talk about?" Yuu asked. "Ah. The thing we need to talk about." Yuu watched as the look in Mika's eyes turned sad. "Why does...Mika look so sad?" he asked himself. He got ready to open his mouth to speak when Mika beat him to it. "Do you remember what we did in here?" Mika asked. "H-Huh? What we did in here?" Yuu blinked his eyes twice. "Didn't we have sex in one of the showers after I had to go through the whole day with a vibrator in my ass?" he asked. "Before that." Mika said, reaching a finger up to run it along the ridges of the locker. "Um...you dry humped me in here..." Yuu shot a glance at Mika. "Why are you asking?" he asked. "Why do you think I'm having you recall that event?" Mika asked, looking over at Yuu as he said that. "Why, you say..." Yuu murmured. He began tapping a finger against his chin as he tried to figure out why Mika wanted him to remember that. It then hit him. "Ah! Wasn't that the first time we had a sexual encounter?!" he asked. "Somewhat, yeah." Mika replied. Yuu frowned. "Mika, are you going to keep dancing around the subject or are you going to tell me why you called me out here?" Yuu asked. Mika sighed. "Okay, I'll tell you." Mika diverted his attention back to the locker. "You know that even though we officially started this complicated relationship of ours in the library, our first somewhat sexual encounter was in here. So technically, everything started in here." Mika began. "Okay...I still don't understand what's going on here..." Yuu mumbled. "So, doesn't it mean that it should end here?" Mika asked. "What the heck? Mika, what do you mean?" Yuu could hear alarm bells going off in his head. "I won't understand what you're trying to tell me if you don't say it outright!" he pointed out. Please don't say what I think you're going to say. "Yuu-chan." Please don't say it. "This relationship we're in..." Mika, please. Yuu watched as Mika turned to look at him, his expression serious. Don't say it! "...let's end it." Yuu heard something inside him shatter. However, he was too deep in shock to figure out if it was his heart that had shattered or if it had been something else entirely. He stared at Mika, eyes wide in utter shock. "...What?" he managed to croak out after several moments of silence. "This relationship of ours. I want to end it." Mika repeated. "But...why?" Yuu asked. "It was a mistake on my part. I shouldn't have engaged in such a relationship with you." Mika said. Yuu felt his heart begin to constrict painfully. There was a dull throbbing sensation in the back of his head as he spoke. "A mistake...? So, everything we've gone through was a mistake...?" his ears began ringing, but he could care less. "What about what you said to me that night at the hotel?! Were you being serious when you said that to me?!" Yuu shouted. "That was only said in the heat of the moment." the way Mika's voice was devoid of emotion made Yuu feel sick. "I never felt that way about you. It was only a lie. I only said it because I felt like you had wanted to hear it." Mika explained. "You lied to me?!" Yuu felt his heart constrict even tighter. "Why would you lie to me about such a thing?! You knew how I felt about you! What would drive you to do such a- - -" he then stopped, Tomoe's words slamming into him at full force. "Yuu, please be careful around Mika. He might try and play you if you're not. I mean, he's friends with Lacus, after all." Yuu's eyes widened. "Of course...why am I not surprised...?" Yuu muttered. He glared at Mika. "You...You only decided to go along with it because you wanted to play with me! You strung me along and then decided to throw me aside because you had someone else on the brain: Krul! You're leaving me for her!" Yuu exclaimed. "What?" Mika asked, his eyes wide in surprise at Yuu's outburst. Yuu drew in a sharp breath, taking in the look on Mika's face. "She was right...Tomoe was right..." Yuu trailed off, reaching up to grasp at his hair. "What do you mean?" Mika asked. "She warned me about you. She said that...you were probably like Lacus...and she was right...you're a filthy dirtbag..." Yuu muttered. "Yuu-chan," Mika began to make his way over to Yuu, "I don't know what exactly is going on, but it's nothing like tha- - -" he tried to reach out to him only to have his hand smacked away. "Shut up! Stop lying to me!" Yuu staggered away from Mika. "I knew it was too good to be true! You never loved me! I was just a toy to you! The only person you could ever love that way is Krul and you know it!" Yuu shouted, feeling the tears stinging the corners of his eyes. He looked over his shoulder at the door. "I should probably get going. Krul's probably waiting for you, anyway." Yuu said as he turned and he began to make his way over to the door. "Yuu-chan!" Mika exclaimed as he reached out and grabbed ahold of Yuu's arm. "Don't touch me!" Yuu whirled around, shaking his arm out of Mika's grip. "Actually, don't come near me anymore! I hate you!" Yuu screamed before turning and dashing out of the locker room. Mika watched as the door slammed shut, the loud sound ricocheting off the lockers in the room. He looked at the spot where Yuu had stood as he recalled what just transpired moments ago, his hands clenching into fists. "This is for the best, Mika. This is for the best." he chanted in his kind like a mantra as he plopped down on one of the benches in the locker room.  He let out a shaky sigh, reaching up to run his fingers through his hair. "Fuck..."  Chapter End Notes And the angst train has just departed from the station! *Come scream at me on Tumblr at this link: https:// thisoneyaoifangirl.tumblr.com/ ***** Our Worlds Shouldn't Have Collided ***** Chapter Summary Warnings: Language, some angst Chapter Notes Hey, you guys! I am back with another chapter of IASWASB. So, this chapter would've been out earlier if only college weren't kicking my ass at the time. So, I have a couple of announcements pertaining to this story: 1. So, as you can see, the number of chapters has gone down from 26 to 25. That is because I was looking over my plan for the remainder of the story and I came to the conclusion that certain scenes needed to be cut out because they were just plain unnecessary. So, now the story is going to wrap up in the next two chapters (and some of the tags might be edited or deleted by the time this chapter is up). 2. First off, I want to thank you guys for your support. I really do appreciate it. Pertaining to the comment from last chapter, I wasn't really offended by it, so you guys don't have to respond to them. If it really did offend me, then the comment probably would've been deleted a long time ago, so yeah. 3. Besides these two announcements, I have a pretty huge announcement to make next chapter! :3 I do not own Owari no Seraph or anything else that may be mentioned! All I own is this fanfic. So, without further ado, read on! :D See the end of the chapter for more notes Yuu flew down the athletic hallway, tears freely streaming down his cheeks.  He felt his mind spiraling out of control, his head throbbing intensely. The feeling made him want to regurgitate his guts and what used to be his lunch. Maybe he shouldn't have had Thai noodles for lunch. He found himself in front of the men's restroom that him and Mika would often escape to. He pushed open the door and he dashed into one of the vacant stalls, locking the stall door behind him. He hiccuped, swiping away frantically at his tears as he shrugged off his backpack, letting it fall to the dirty tile floor with a thud. He sat down on the toilet seat, his mind racing a mile a minute. "He never loved me, he never loved me, he never loved me, he never loved me. It was all a lie, it was all a lie, it was all a lie." his mind repeated. His fingers then brushed over his phone, which was sitting in his jeans pocket. "Ah...someone did happen to send a text to me while I was heading to the athletic locker room..." he thought to himself as he pulled his phone out from his jeans pocket. He arched a brow upon seeing that the sender was Shinoa. "Shinoa...?" he muttered out. "What did she send me?" he asked himself as he went into his messages and he read the message that she sent him. [12:43:12pm] Stay on your guard around him, Yuu. ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu read her text over and over again, confused at first by what it meant. Then, it clicked. He sucked in a sharp gasp as he read it over once again. "She knew..." he whispered out. "She knew something was up with him? I guess she really does have a crazy wild intuition..." he thought to himself. He gripped his phone in his hand as he let out an aggravated scream. "Fucking dammit!" he shouted, hurling his phone at the stall door. It bounced off the door, clattering onto the floor loudly. More sobs fell from his lips as tears cascaded down his cheeks, dropping onto his jeans. "Why..." he whispered out. "I thought things were going so well between us...I thought he might've actually fallen for me, too. So, where did we go wrong? What happened to make him change his mind? Did he really want to dispose of me that badly?" he asked himself. He sniffled, reaching up to swipe away at more tears. "I fucked up..." Yuu mumbled. A chuckle soon followed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm such an idiot..." He then looked down at his phone, an idea hitting him. He grabbed for his phone and he grimaced, watching the large crack that had begun to form in the center of the screen when he had thrown it mere seconds ago. He ran a finger along it before sending a text to Shinoa. [01:07:12pm] Would you be willing to skip class with me? Meet me at the library. We need to talk; it's urgent.  ~Yuu ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ ᙙᙖ Yuu sighed, exiting out of his messaging app and locking his phone. He curled up into a ball, pulling his knees up to his chest. He rested his forehead against his knees as his phone vibrated, signaling that Shinoa had sent him a reply. He unlocked his phone, going into his messages and reading her reply. [01:07:47pm] Alright. Be there in 5. ~Shinoa <( ̄︶ ̄)> Yuu let out a shaky sigh as he locked his phone, watching the screen go black. He spent a couple of minutes recollecting his thoughts before uncurling himself, standing up and grabbing his bag. He unlocked the stall door and he stepped out, immediately catching his reflection in the mirror. His cheeks were streaked with dry tear trails, his eyes and nose looking a little red. He quickly looked away, not wanting to look at the sorry state he was in anymore. He headed out of the bathroom without a word and he made his way to the library. Once he got there, he quickly made a beeline for one of the tables in the very back. He sat down, dropping his bag down on the table and slumping down into one of the chairs, resting his head on the desk. Yuu felt dead on the inside. He wasn't quite sure what to make of his current predicament. He knew Shinoa was going to scold him, tell him that he should've pulled away from the relationship sooner. But, like they say, love certainly makes one blind. He chuckled weakly at the thought, his eyes focusing on one of the many bookshelves in the library. He let out a few incoherent mumbles before closing his eyes for a bit, enjoying the temporary darkness. After about five minutes, he felt something poke at his cheek lightly. "Oi. Yuu." a familiar voice called out. "Mmmmm..." Yuu murmured, slowly opening his eyes and glancing up to see Shinoa hovering slightly above him.  "Shinoa...?" he muttered quietly. "Yes, it's me." her eyes narrowed. "No offense, but you look like shit." she commented. Yuu let out a halfhearted chuckle. "I know..." he trailed off. She took a seat across from him, frowning. "So? What happened?" she asked. "How exactly do I put it...?" Yuu murmured. "You can put it any way you want to put it. As long as I am able to understand the situation." Shinoa tugged on a stray strand of hair. "What happened, Yuu?" she asked. Yuu swallowed, looking at Shinoa before diverting his gaze down to the table. "You promise you won't do anything crazy once I finish, right?" he asked. Shinoa blinked her eyes twice. "Of course...why, is it that bad?" she asked. Yuu nodded. "I guess...? I mean...it does concern Mika..." Yuu muttered. He then saw something flash in Shinoa's eyes. He didn't know if it was annoyance or blown out fury, but either way, it was a terrifying look on her. "What did he do?" she asked. "He..." Yuu let out a shaky sigh. "He broke it off...our relationship, that is..." he muttered. "Why?" Shinoa asked. "He wanted to dispose of me so that he focus on Krul." Yuu replied. Shinoa furrowed her brows. "Really now?" she asked. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he trailed off. Shinoa sighed deeply. "I knew there was something up with him..." she looked at him. "Okay, you can go into more detail later. For now, you need to be distracted." she said. "Distracted?" Yuu asked. Shinoa nodded. "Yeah. How about we hit the mall? Then, we can have a sleepover at my place or something." Shinoa suggested. "Are you sure? I don't want this to be considered a bother to you..." Yuu trailed off. "Yuu, you could never be considered a bother in my eyes. Besides, you're my best friend. Can't have you moping around, now can I?" she asked as she stood from her seat. She then reached over and poked at his cheek. "Come on, let's ditch this place." she said. Yuu sighed. "Okay, okay." he responded before letting Shinoa pull him up from his seat and leading him out of the library. =============================================================================== Shinya finished cooking some noodles for ramen, looking over at the two teenagers sitting on the couch in the apartment living room. "Yuu! Do you like soft boiled or hard boiled eggs in your ramen?" he asked. "Soft boiled." Yuu replied. "And Shinoa, you want the same thing, right?" Shinya asked. "Yeah!" Shinoa replied. "Okay. The ramen should be finished in a few more minutes." Shinya said. "Okay!" Yuu and Shinoa responded in unison. Yuu reached for his glass of water sitting on the coffee table, curling up into a ball on the couch next to Shinoa. Shinoa reached for her glass of water, turning the channel to some reality show as she looked at Yuu. "So? Do you feel ready to go into more detail about what happened today?" she asked. Yuu grimaced a little at the thought as he brought the glass to his lips, the cool water slipping down his throat. She noticed the grimace that spread across Yuu's face, sighing. "You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to." she told him. Yuu quickly shook his head. "No, it's fine." Yuu rested his glass back down on the coffee table. "I'm ready to tell you." he said. "Okay." Shinoa lowered the volume on the TV a little and she turned to face Yuu, crisscrossing her legs on the couch. "Hit me with it." she said. Yuu chuckled a little. "Okay. Well..." Yuu began to fiddle with the hem of his red pajama shirt. "He had called me out to the athletic locker room, saying that he needed to speak to me about something urgent immediately. So, I went. He began asking me what we had done in the locker room together, so I listed off the things we did in there, including when he had...well...dry humped me against one of the lockers. He said that technically, that was when our relationship began to take shape. So, then he said that it would make sense if it ended there, as well. I asked him what he meant and he said that he wanted to end our relationship." Yuu explained. "Okay, I remember you saying that he wanted to end it." Shinoa noted. Yuu nodded. "Yeah..." he muttered. Yuu's response made Shinoa sigh. "Yuu...you knew that a relationship like this was going to hurt. So, why didn't you pull out of it while you could?" she asked. "I didn't see the signs! I didn't notice the sudden shift in our relationship!" Yuu slumped against the chair, curling up into a ball as he rested his forehead against his knees. "I didn't see it at all...I didn't realize that he felt something for Krul..." he muttered. Shinoa glared at a random spot on the couch, burning a hole into it. "Yuu, do you need me to fight him for you?" she asked. "What?!" Yuu looked at her in surprise. "N-No! No, you don't need to fight him or anything!" he exclaimed. "Hm? Shinoa, are you thinking of picking a fight at school?" Shinya asked, making his way into the living room with a tray that had three ramen bowls in them. "I want to, but Yuu's telling me that I shouldn't." Shinoa stated. "You really shouldn't." Shinya said as he rested the tray down on the coffee table. "Even if it were for a good cause?" she asked. "Depends on what this 'good cause' is." Shinya pointed out. He sat down to Shinoa's right as Shinoa shifted a bit to look at him. "Mika dumped Yuu for Krul." she stated. Shinya blinked his eyes twice. "Did he now?" he asked. Shinoa nodded. "Yup! I was going to fight him because he's making Yuu hurt with his ridiculousness." she explained. Shinya chuckled. "I admire your loyalty to Yuu as one of his closest friends. However, I really do believe that you wouldn't be picking fights in school. You could get suspended." Shinya scolded. Shinoa pouted, crossing her arms over her chest as she crossed her legs. "Ugh, you guys are no fun..." she mumbled. She grabbed for her ramen bowl and a pair of chopsticks, poking at the sliced katsudon that was placed delicately atop the noodles and broth. She brought a slice of the breaded pork cutlet to her mouth as she looked at Yuu, who also grabbed for his bowl. "You sure you don't want me to do anything?" she asked. "I'm sure. Besides...it probably wouldn't be worth it, anyway..." he muttered. "Not worth it, huh..." she slurped at her ramen. "Well, okay. I'll try my best to not come after him. But remember, if you change your mind, you know who to talk to." she said. Yuu let out a chuckle that Shinoa knew was forced. "Yeah..." he trailed off as they continued to eat from their ramen bowls. =============================================================================== "To create a balanced chemical equation, you have to follow a certain formula. We will start with a simple equation." the chemistry teacher went up to the board, writing down something on the board. "The equation we will be working with is..." Yuu tuned out the teacher, tapping his pencil against his paper, which was blank save some small notes on what they were covering earlier. "Yuu." Shinoa nudged him lightly. "Pay attention to the lesson. Tomoe told me that this unit of chemistry is super difficult." she whispered. "Mmmm." Yuu hummed noncommittally as he continued to tap his pencil against the paper. He couldn't help but steal glances over at Mika, who sat in the row diagonal from him and Shinoa. Mika was diligently writing down his notes in his notebook, occasionally looking over at Ferid as they engaged in quiet small talk. Yuu swallowed before directing his attention back to his notebook. He attempted to write down the example as the bell rang. "We will go over this more in depth tomorrow. Make sure to complete the worksheet that I have posted on our class page and I will see you guys tomorrow." the teacher said. Almost immediately, Yuu shot up from his seat and he hastily shoved his materials into his bag. "Yuu, wait up!" Shinoa exclaimed as she grabbed for her binder and she took off after Yuu. She managed to catch up to him, falling into step beside him. "Goddammit, you move way too quick." she commented. "Sorry. I just felt awkward sitting in there." Yuu apologized. Shinoa hummed as they approached their lockers. "So, you have to go to gym next, right?" she asked. "Yeah." Yuu replied as he opened his locker and he proceeded to put his chemistry books and binder into his locker. He pulled out his gym clothes, which were neatly folded inside, and he put them into his bag. He slammed his locker shut as he turned and his eyes locked on Mika. He froze, feeling Mika's gaze burning into him. He then watched as Mika began to walk down the hall. "Is he actually going to try and talk to me?" he asked himself. He let out a shaky breath as Mika got closer. Before he could open his mouth to say something, Mika spoke. "Krul!"  Yuu quickly closed his mouth, watching as Mika walked past him, their shoulders barely brushing against one another. He stayed glued to the spot as Shinoa closed her locker. He turned, watching as Mika approached Krul and they began to head down the hall together. Shinoa also turned, watching the two converse with each other. Yuu felt his heart pang painfully as he watched Mika throw his head back in laughter at something Krul said. "Yuu." he felt Shinoa place a hand on his shoulder. "We should head to class." she said. "Ah. Y-Yeah..." Yuu trailed off as they turned and began to head to their classes. As Shinoa began to talk to him about something Kimizuki did, he thought back to how Mika passed him like he wasn't there. Then again, maybe that was how it should be. Their worlds shouldn't have collided. Maybe it would be better if Mika stayed in his world and Yuu stayed in his. Chapter End Notes Ooof this chapter is totes all over the place...
