This was supposed to be a ficlet for Shishido's b-day (on the 29th) but I was late -sad-. The original prompt was Bathtub, hence half or the name. And yes, I do know that I'm a bad author for writing this when I could have been writing another chapter for Summons of a Master. -Bows- Summimasen, minna.
Shishido was standing at the door to the bathroom
Shishido was standing at the door to the bathroom at an annoyingly early time of morning. Of course, he wasn't standing there because he was trying to peep on his boyfriend, that would be rude. No, he was standing in front of the bathroom because Choutarou had stolen his hat right before locking himself in the bathroom to have a bath. Having already gotten past the part where he heard the sound of water running, he was now simply standing at the door, feeling rather bare without his hat.
Of course, Choutarou had a reason for stealing his hat…at least…he thought so. He wasn't really that clear on what this reason was, but he was hoping that it was a good one, because he was really missing his hat right about now. The only times he normally took off his hat was to shower and to sleep(and if a teacher forced him to take it off during school hours), so it was reasonable for him to say that, since he'd cut his hair, he had kept his hat on as much as he could. Frustratedly knocking on the door(for the third time, I might add) he tapped his foot on the ground, hoping that maybe Choutarou might let him in.
"Shishido-san, can't you tell I'm having a bath?" Choutarou called out from behind the door. Shishido growled.
"Give me my hat and I'll leave you alone then!" He replied annoyedly. Hearing a sound of refusal from the bathroom, Shishido decided to try the handle of the door to see if it was really locked(why he hadn't done this earlier was a mystery to him…). Finding the door to be open, he whacked himself(mentally) over the head and barged into the oom, looking around for his hat. Seeing Choutarou, sitting in an empty bathtub and holding his hat, he stared in shock.
"What the hell…?" He said confusedly, "Choutarou, you liar! You are not having a bath! Now give me back my hat before I come over there to take it back."
Choutarou shrugged, "and what if I don't want to?" he asked mischievously, holding the hat closer to himself.
Growling, Shishido walked over to the bathtub and grabbed his hat, that was still clutched in Choutarou's surprisingly strong hands. He pulled. Choutarou pulled back. Bracing himself, he pulled again, only to feel himself being pulled into the bathtub on top of Choutarou.
"What…?" He started, blushing.
Choutarou smiled and, pulling the hat out of Shishido's (moderately) limp hands, he kissed him lightly.
Growling, Shishido tilted his head slightly to give the one kissing him a better angle, and Choutarou placed the hat back on the older boy's head, breaking their kiss.
Slightly breathless, Shishido pulled his hat lower on his head and looked at Choutarou.
"What was that for?" He said, sounding annoyed, but not really meaning it.
"Happy Birthday!" his boyfriend responded, pulling him into another kiss.
If that was what he got for his birthday, Shishido wondered, what would he end up suffering through on white day?
