Muhaki Gakuto/Hiyoshi Wakashi

Prompt: None this time, a continuation of Honey

Title: While You Sleep


Gakuto peeked over the chair separating him from Hiyoshi. Good. He was asleep, finally. Gakuto had been waiting ever since their match had finished, when they had lost, dammit! But now, his patience was rewarded. As he carefully crept over to the empty seat next to Hiyoshi, he furtively checked behind him to make sure no one noticed his movement. Luckily, only Yuushi saw him, and Yuushi knew about his obsession with Hiyoshi's hair. He wouldn't begrudge a little braid or two for the pleasure of tattling on him. Now, as he was seated in front of the steadily breathing boy, he decided that it would be funnest to braid the sides next to his bangs first. Quickly, he ran his hands through Hiyoshi's hair first, then smiled and began his braid. When he was finished, it looked a little sloppy, but it was fine. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to bring any hair ties, so quickly, softly, he called to Yuushi to toss him a couple. After promising to forgive any outstanding juice debts, he got his hair ties and began wrapping the rubber band around Hiyoshi's hair.

Now, as he had achieved his goal, Gakuto admired how pretty Hiyoshi's hair was. It was so shiny and soft… Now that he thought about it, most of Hiyoshi was pretty. The way his nose slanted… The way his mouth, normally set in a straight line, was relaxed and looked… Actually, a little pouty. It was cute, in an odd way. His normally fierce eyes, covered by pretty lashes, were a warm, chocolatey brown. The way his chest rose and fell, steady, like Hiyoshi normally was. Blushing, Gakuto realized how long he had been staring and what he had been thinking. This wasn't normal, he was sure. But, he wasn't gay. Gays were weird, and besides, this was his partner. Hiyoshi, who had a stick up his butt almost all the time, who had asked to meet at the amusement park, only to poke fun at him for going, couldn't be his crush. It was too weird, too farfetched, and he was sure to reject Gakuto if he ever confessed. So, Gakuto decided that this had to end right there and now, but before he tried to get rid of the feelings, a little acknowledgement would be fitting. So, he steeled up his nerves and pecked Hiyoshi on the lips. After that, he blushed and quickly stole back to his own seat before Hiyoshi could wake up.

Unbeknownst to him, the innocent peck had woken Hiyoshi up. Stirring, Hiyoshi heard someone rushing out of the seat next to him and back. Blinking a little, he realized that his hair was braided into little plaits near his bangs. What exactly had happened while he was asleep? First his hair was in little girlish braids and then he had been woken up like Sleeping Beauty, with a kiss. Hiyoshi realized that they were actually only minutes away from Hyoutei and groaned, deciding that trying to sleep again would be a waste. He might as well forget about the incident, after taking out those horrid braids first, of course.
