Note: Shudou Satoshi, unfortunately, has very little profile information and screentime. All us readers really know about him is that he LOVES challenges and pushing the limits for things and that he has a thing for crazy, strange soda flavors. So I took those bits of personality and created my own fun, silly interpretation of Shudou. So I always thought it would be fun if his insane, outspoken personality was paired with Ryou's dark, moody character.

I hope you enjoy!

Ryou didn't know why he let his batshit insane teammate into the house when he heard a knock at the door. But five minutes into their conversation and he sure was regretting it now.

"Come on, Ryou! I-I'm seriously gonna fail this test tomorrow."

Ryou sneezed and glared at Shudou. "Well, then you're an idiot who should have studied for it while he had the chance... Geez, didn't you do any studying this weekend?"

"Not really, but come on, man. I was trying out a new sport and it was really important..."

Ryou looked at him, unamused and questioning. He sniffled; his nose was very stuffy.

"Okay, well not really a sport... I found these cool parkour videos on youtube and I wanted to try out some of the acrobatic stunts!"

Not entertained at all, Ryou kept staring at him and wiped his nose on a tissue.

"I only got two bruises on my arms and sprained my right ankle..! And that was during a triple flip out of a two-story window, so those are supposed to be tricky anyway. I think that's pretty good for a first time, don't you?"

"I'm not kissing you."

"B-But Ryou, you're sick... If you get me sick, I'll have a few extra days at home to study for that exam!"

"You're the one who's sick! Not only is that the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard, but it's disgusting..." Ryou scrunched up his face in repulsion.

"Just one kiss, please Ryou? Maybe a tiny bit of tongue, just to make sure your cold transfers?"

"No. Stop asking, go away, I need to rest."

"I'll... I'll do anything if you just kiss me, please-"

"Get out."

"I'll buy you dinner!"

"Christ, Shudou, nothing you say will make me kiss you. Ever."

"I'll take you to the movies and buy you dinner!"

"Ew, no, then it'll be like a date or something."

"I-I know a way to get revenge on Mizuki for recruiting your brother..." This was Shudou's last resort, his last-ditch effort to get his friend to kiss him. It was generally known that Ryou despised SeiRu's manager for taking away Atsushi.

"..."

"I'll sneak my chili pepper soda in Mizuki's gatorade next time we play St. Rudolph,"

"..." Ryou sniffled and sneezed again.

"It's a rare drink from Thailand-It's so spicy, the bottle even has a health risk on the label! He'll be in tears the whole game!"

Ryou abruptly turned his head to look out the front window, making sure the streets were free of onlookers passing by who might see them.

"You tell anyone and we're never speaking again." was all Ryou said before standing up on his tiptoes, roughly dragging Shudou's head down and ramming his tongue inside the boy's mouth when his lips parted in surprise.

It was intense, brief, wet-Probably sloppy (not like Shudou had many past kisses to compare it to), but getting sick had never been this worth it.
