Shogo x Mitsuko

Prompt: I'll write our characters sharing a kiss, it can be innocent or passionate.


"Shogo."

Something tickled. Shogo groaned and struggled to open his eyes. He blinked repeatedly as things began to come into focus, realizing that Mitsuko Souma was leaning over him.

"Mitsu?" he said groggily.

She laughed. "You've got to get up. It's almost eight. Your shift starts in half an hour."

"Oh, God," Shogo groaned. He rubbed his eyes tiredly. "I don't want to go to work."

Mitsuko smirked. "That's unfortunate for you."

Shogo sighed. "Come here for a minute." He moved over to make room for her on the bed, and she crawled onto it, allowing him to wrap his arms around her and bury his face in her long hair. "Why don't I just stay home today?" he suggested, his voice muffled.

She nestled into him comfortably. "Because you can't skip work."

Shogo reopened his eyes. "I could call in sick."

"No, you can't," Mitsuko chided.

Shogo propped himself up on one elbow and turned to look at her. "I could," he said seriously. "I could tell the boss I got the flu… hell, that'd get me out of this whole week…"

Mitsuko rolled her eyes. "He'd call your bullshit on that and you know it."

"Might be worth it," Shogo countered. He ran his hand lightly up her arm, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind. Mitsuko shivered. "It's been a while since we both had a day off… think about it, we could just hang out here, relax, maybe grab some lunch la—"

Shogo was cut off as Mitsuko leaned over and pressed her lips to his. When she pulled away after a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows and grinned. "Is that a yes?"

"It sounds tempting. Which is why I needed you to shut up." Mitsuko smiled wickedly and slipped out of bed. "Get dressed!" she instructed him as she left the room.

Shogo sighed to himself and let his head fall back onto his pillow for one last moment of comfort. Well, it was worth a shot.
