AU with Narumi's squad, relatively normal lives
A/N: Wanted to write some fluff with these two and this is how it ended up.
Summary: Winter holiday is here and what better way to spend it than in a cabin with a few close friends. Rika has invited only her closest friends to stay with her for her entire winter vacation. (Narumi squad AU + Shūsaku x Narumi Fluff)
"How did your parents afford such an excessive cabin?"
Narumi asked amazed.
"Is it really okay if we stay here for our winter vacation?" Yayoi asked uncertainly.
Rika just flashed them a smile "Of course. They're paying for everything so no need to worry about warmth, food, water, etc. We just get to relax and have fun."
"Just us five sounds nice."
Kagiyama spoke out. Who then shuffled the bags he was carrying, which was his and Rika's plus one bag of Yayoi's. Since she had been trudging along but had one too many bags to make it up the slope to get to the stairs of the cabin. Yayoi had promptly apologized for taking too much. Kagiyama just shrugged it off, not bothered in the slightest. Rika could've handled her bags, she just wanted to have something nice done for her since she was giving them the place for vacation. Plus she needed her hands free to get the door. Rika quickly moved ahead, the lack of bags giving her free movement. Her knee high boots making quick work of the piled up snow on the stairs so the others could safely get up.
"Like, there we go." Rika then quickly opened the door and disappeared in. "Heat will be on in just a moment!"
Kagiyama made a noise as he entered and dumped the bags on the floor. Crossing his arms to try to maintain the heat he got from walking the short distance from the car to the cabin. Narumi was in after, throwing his bags casually to an open area. Yayoi ploded her way in and only put down her stuff when she found an acceptable place that looked to be out of the way. Shūsaku closed the door behind them and worked on the locks, keeping his bags balanced on his shoulders.
"Okay! It's on!" Rika quickly coming back into view "Won't be long."
Kagiyama nodded appreciatively "Should we light a fire?"
"Oh!" Yayoi perked up "Th-that would be lovely." teeth chattering slightly.
Narumi grinned "Sounds good, you know how to do this Tarō?"
"Of course."
Shūsaku just glanced to Rika "Where should we put our bags?"
Rika just motioned to the floor but when Shūsaku frowned she rephrased "Probably in whatever room you want. There's only four rooms though." Rika announced.
"Shūsaku and I can share." Narumi declared.
"Wow Makoto." Rika chuckled "I swear if I would've stated this a year ago you would've been opposed to having to share."
"Yeah well, we weren't dating a year ago." Narumi said with a shrug.
Yayoi gave a surprised expression "Is-is it really okay for you two to share? Rika and I can if-"
Narumi shook his head "Nah, whoever it is that shares will have to share a bed right?"
"Bingo."
"Yeah, Shūsaku and I are the better choice. You like sharing space with me right?"
"..."
Shūsaku turned to talk to Rika for a brief moment before slipping off somewhere into the cottage with his stuff. Rika and Yayoi settled on the couch in front of the fireplace while the other two got to work on lighting it up. It was just a few moments before it was lit and the warm glow shown in the room. Yayoi let out a content sigh and she uncurled herself but still kept one of her hands planted firm on her lap. Rika gave a few quick claps to praise them before relaxing. Kagiyama moved to sit beside Yayoi. Narumi moved to the double seater and made certain to create extra space so Shūsaku knew he had to sit there.
"So, what should we do?" Yayoi inquired as soon as Shūsaku had returned.
"It's been a long trip." Kagiyama said with a sigh "So no physical activities for today."
"How about a movie?" Yayoi asked.
Rika perked up "Sounds good. Tarō, do me a favour and get two really large blankets from the closet. I'll get the cheesy holiday movies."
Kagiyama gave a sigh "Makoto, you get it, I'm tired."
"I had to drive us all here, you do it."
Yayoi glanced between them "I-I'll do it."
Yayoi sprung up since no one spoke fast enough to stop her and she dashed down the hall. Rika returned shortly and put in one of the movies before moving to the lights. Only turning them off once Yayoi had sat back down. Rika lunged back to her seat making the cushions dip suddenly, causing a happy squeak from Yayoi and a slight groan from Kagiyama. However, movies were rarely quiet with them. Rika and Narumi got into an argument about whether something was sweet or entirely cheesy. Varying which side they would be on.
Kagiyama mostly sighed in annoyance and grabbed the controller to raise the volume to hopefully drown the two out. It never worked. Yayoi was too engrossed in the movie to stop them. Shūsaku made things worse by stating they missed an important detail in their argument but never telling them what it was. The credits were always filled with discussions over the movie. Yayoi stating her favourite parts, Shūsaku trying to guess the movies intended aim. Kagiyama was normally quiet and the last two of their group were highly vocal on opinions. Normally picking at the other's likes of the movie and teasing about it.
It was a nice way to start their vacation, however they had gotten to the cottage rather late. So they only made it through two before they went to retire for bed. The next week was going to be busy and was going to require a lot of energy. Yayoi personally saying her good nights to each one of them before disappearing into her room with a soft yawn. Kagiyama gave a very formal good night and Rika only waved. Narumi just reminded them to get enough rest for the activities and Shūsaku said absolutely nothing as they all retired. Narumi stuffed his bags beside Shūsaku's own, looking at the single dresser.
"Guess we'll be sharing drawers, you cool with that?"
Narumi turned to look at Shūsaku only to find him in deep thought over the double bed.
"..."
"What is it?"
"This would be the first time we've shared a bed..."
Narumi felt his cheeks colour slightly "We've only been dating since September. So... it makes sense."
"I know." Shūsaku spoke with a comfortable smile "I was just thinking."
"Hmm?"
"We could do this more." Shūsaku offered.
Narumi shook his head "No way, neither of us have our own place and I don't have enough money to move out and neither do you. Besides, your parents need your support right?"
Shūsaku nodded. Shūsaku's parents were pretty poor, Shūsaku often didn't have money for luxuries. Narumi himself wasn't much better off, he grew up in a less kind area but it had some support. The richest people he knew on his street was the Ichinose's but they were only lower middle class. Narumi had always respected them, mostly for the only child of the family. Guren had always been an incredible support system for Narumi, right along with Shūsaku. Narumi briefly wondered how Guren spent his holidays. Shūsaku's voice dragged him back to the current moment.
"You don't have to hide the fact you're with me."
Narumi huffed at the comment "I'm not hiding it..."
"Are you still afraid of what your parents will say?"
Narumi just looked away "Come on Shūsaku, this is a getaway, don't bring that in."
"I know... but that's precisely why I am. You're away from the pressure so it's a good chance to reassess to see if what you fear is actually a reality. Besides, your parents are good friends with Guren's dad right? Guren seems supportive so I image Ichinose-san must be as well. He'll talk to your parents if something goes wrong."
"Alright, I get it. I get it."
"..."
Narumi blinked as suddenly Shūsaku was in his personal space, leaning forward. The kiss on his lips was smooth, having an immediate calming effect. Shūsaku always had that influence on him, Narumi could always think with him around. Shūsaku was pulling away and giving him a charming smile that Narumi matched with a lively one. Shūsaku then moved to start unpacking his things.
"Yeah, I'm fine with sharing drawers, just try to keep your things to your side. I don't want to go over to your place to ask for something back. Especially underwear."
Narumi let out a nervous laugh "Yep, you got it. You wouldn't ask that to my parents right?"
"..."
"Come on Shūsaku~."
"We'll see." Shūsaku said while glancing away, indicating that was all he was saying on this topic.
Shūsaku began to pile clothes in and Narumi decided it was a good idea to probably match him. Means they could get to bed quicker. Narumi wondered how Shūsaku slept, curious if they'd be able to stand the other's sleeping habits. They both worked quickly, Narumi commenting on any of the clothes he found interesting just to fill up space. Narumi and Shūsaku separated to start putting various items around the room since they were going to be here for a bit. Narumi had just pulled out almost all of his everyday necessities when he noticed Shūsaku leaving the room with a set of clothes tucked in his arms.
"Where are you going?" Narumi called out.
"To the washroom to change into my night clothes."
"Nah, change here."
Shūsaku's cheeks gained colour "... What?"
Narumi tried his best attempt at a flirty smile "I want to see. I've never seen you change."
Shūsaku lips twitched downwards slightly "That's a lie. We've had gym together plenty of times and we've had to wear swim suits with that too."
"Stop being difficult. I mean I've never watched you change, y'know... as boyfriends?"
"Then you have to change afterwards."
"You got it!" Narumi didn't hesitate at all, he wasn't shy about his body.
"..."
Shūsaku hesitated before moving to the door to click the lock into place, he also moved to pull the blinds over the window just in case. Shūsaku moved to the bed and put his clothes down there before meeting Narumi's eyes. Narumi took that chance to move over and sit on the bed, slight eagerness to his steps. Narumi offered a confident smile and Shūsaku relaxed slightly. Shūsaku let out a quiet noise as he unfolded his clothes so he could change quickly in case he got nervous.
Shūsaku tugged on his pants uncertainly before pulling them down. Eyes focused on what he was doing than on Narumi. He slipped out of his pants with a lot of graceful movements before picking the discarded clothe up to place it on the bed. Grabbing his sleeping pants and bending in order to put one leg partly through. Narumi watched the movement in fascination, Shūsaku's movements precise and oddly entrancing. The way he slid into his pants drawing attention to his slender thighs. Then when Shūsaku had both his legs in, he slid his pants up. The motion was controlled but really smooth, drawing Narumi's attention to the skin disappearing behind the soft fabric. Before securing his pants low on his waist, but Narumi couldn't quite see due to Shūsaku's preference for slightly longer shirts.
Shūsaku then carefully moved to pull one arm inside his shirt, followed by the other before lifting it off with his hands underneath. Narumi took a few moments to admire Shūsaku's torso, he never had a chance to memorise these details of him. Shūsaku brushed his hair slightly to get it roughly into place. Narumi felt a pleasant thrill at the action. The way Shūsaku would brush his hair was slightly arousing to Narumi. His attention was still trapped though as Shūsaku picked up his shirt, sliding into it with a sleek motion. Shūsaku adjusted his shirt once it was on before fixing his hair. His expression only turning shy when he looked at Narumi and noticed the intense stare.
"Was... was that good?" Shūsaku asked nervously.
Narumi nodded his head before patting the spot beside him, Shūsaku sat down and Narumi kissed him with more pressure than he normally did "Yeah, you were really attractive."
"I was only changing normally."
"I know." Narumi leaned close again "Your normal is super attractive."
Shūsaku brushed his own hair out of his face, most likely since he could feel his face getting hotter and wanted to try to decrease the heat "..."
Narumi pressed his lips into Shūsaku's hard and was meet with surprising amount of strength back. Shūsaku moving his lips in a more open manner, causing Narumi to match the pacing. Shūsaku took the chance to stick his tongue into Narumi's mouth. He was briefly surprised, since this type of kissing was something still new to them but he melted into it easily enough. His tongue quick to meet Shūsaku's, tip pressing to the underside of Shūsaku's tongue. Who squirmed slightly at the pleasant sensation before he leaned forward, forcing Narumi to lean on his arms as Shūsaku stuck his tongue in deeper. He ran his tongue over his upper back teeth which caused a gasp from Narumi.
They parted quickly but stayed close, both panting slightly and both eyes glued to each other's lips, too afraid to make eye contact. "..."
"So... uhh... sleep?" Narumi suggested.
Shūsaku was first to make eye contact, his eyes having an unknown intensity behind them "Only after you change."
Narumi gave a confident smirk "Of course, deal's a deal."
Narumi got off the bed, taking a bit of time to get his sleeping clothes so his blush could settle. He didn't want Shūsaku to think his blush was because he was changing. Since Narumi really had no problems with being watched. Narumi returned with a confident smile and a cool face. Putting his clothes onto the bed in a less methodical manner but still structured. He sent a warm smile as Shūsaku shifted a bit to get into a better position, Narumi waited for him to get comfortable before starting. Narumi hooked his fingers into the bottom of his shirt ready to pull it off, only to hesitate. He wasn't expecting the sudden feeling of uncertainly. Narumi wasn't sure what was going on and then he meet Shūsaku's gaze. Which was level and analytical, like every motion was being caught and scrutinized.
Narumi's cheeks felt like they were really heating up 'Why is his stare suddenly making me flustered?'
Narumi just bit the inside of his cheek and owned up. Shūsaku watched carefully. Narumi flipped his shirt inside out when he removed it. Shaking his head slightly to fluff out his hair after getting free. Narumi made quick work in reflipping his shirt before tossing it to the side. Then he reached for his waistband and without hesitation slipped his pants down. Narumi's movements were decisive and confident. Less about showing off his body and more about how he moved. Movements flexible and bold, giving a clear idea of his nature, Shūsaku's eyes followed those forward motions with fascination.
Although Shūsaku did get a good look at his abs. The way Narumi moved seemed to unintentionally draw attention to his stomach and chest area. So he found it quite pleasant when Narumi went to pull on his pants first. Shūsaku focused on how Narumi folded himself to get into those, how his back arched as he pulled them up. Extra detail given to when he straightened upon securing them to his hips. Narumi's muscles moving in a gallant fashion. Narumi then picked up his shirt, flipping it through the air slightly as he got it in place before worming his way inside. His stomach moving from side to side as he settled in. His head poking through first and then his arms in a fluid fashion followed quickly after.
Narumi brushed his ponytail apprehensively "So... this different than when we were changing in gym?"
"Definitely."
"So, how'd I do?" Narumi asked, hoping for an ego stroke.
"You were very handsome." Shūsaku reached out his hands.
Narumi quickly fitting between them as he wrapped them around his shoulder, one burying itself in his hair "Hmm... really?"
Shūsaku hummed in agreement before kissing him "You really are lovely."
Narumi let out an embarrassed but happy chuckle "Glad I'm easy on the eyes."
Shūsaku let out a quiet laugh "I wouldn't quite say that... my eyes wanted to look at so much. It wasn't easy."
Narumi let out a laugh but was cut off as Shūsaku kissed him hard, his arms keeping Narumi in place. Narumi grabbed at Shūsaku's sides on instinct, trying not to tighten his hold so he wouldn't stretch the fabric. He really liked Shūsaku's night clothes and he wanted to keep these ones since it would be a reminder of the first time they did this. Shūsaku's tongue took a swipe at Narumi's lips but didn't enter, content with just the sloppy kiss. Narumi wasn't complaining.
Narumi parted first "Okay, I want to sleep. If we're not up at a decent time tomorrow, Rika and Tarō will make us freeze together on the front porch."
Shūsaku gave a nod before settling down "I assume that you'll get the light."
"Yep." Narumi sprung up.
Taking the time to kick his clothes to the side, he'd put it away later. Only realizing then that when he had been getting his night clothes that Shūsaku had tucked his used clothes away somewhere. Narumi just grinned before flicking the light switch, the room filled with darkness. He could still hear Shūsaku shifting as he was moving the covers to find a comfortable place to sleep. Narumi made quick work over, he had good spatial awareness and stopped in front of the bed before climbing in on the right since Shūsaku had claimed the left side. Narumi was briefly surprised to find the corners tucked over so he could climb in efficiently.
Narumi smiled sweetly before crawling inside and shoving himself over to Shūsaku's side. Giving him a quick kiss to the lips "Thanks."
"..."
"Good night... this is okay right? If we sleep this close?"
"I would be glad."
Narumi smiled, hoping Shūsaku could see "Great."
"Good night."
A/N: This will be a multi-chapter fluff and fun fic with the fluffballs of Narumi's squad. No intended drama just a random AU inspired by the holidays. Well enjoy and the Shūsaku x Makoto flirting and romance will probably be really strong. It should be interesting to write Narumi's squad being normal. No other people will be appearing but flashbacks and references may be mentioned.
I don't know how many chapters this will be or if I will ever finish it but here you go anyways. Hope everyone had a good holiday!
