Kikumaru Eiji was bored, he have no idea what to do. He was walking around aimlessly when he crashed into someone, and was about to fall when he felt a hand reaching out and pulled him up. Glancing up at the person, he was about to apologize when he found himself staring at Ohtori Choutarou from Hyoutei Gakuen. The latter had apparently just came from his school, as Ohtori was still dressed formally in his school uniform.
Noticing the wince on the younger boy's features, Eiji realized that Ohtori have used his hand to break his impending fall. Most likely, the latter must have hurt himself in the process of doing so. Feeling guilty, Eiji decided to make it up to the younger boy. Dragging the boy with him, ignoring Ohtori's protests; he dragged the boy with him all the way to his house.
His siblings and parents were away for the weekend, hence he was left alone at home. Sitting Ohtori on his living room couch, Eiji hurried into the kitchen in search of the first aid kit. After which he hurried back to Ohtori and inspected the younger boy's elbow where a scratch is present. Using the antiseptic lotion, he applied it gently over the wound. Somehow, he must have been too close for comfort as Ohtori was an interesting shade of red when he finished cleaning the wound and dressing it.
For a while, they stared at one another in silent; not knowing what to do or say. Finally, Ohtori managed an awkward "Thank you" while Eiji nodded in reponse as he couldn't trust himself to speak. Strangely enough, he found Ohtori adorable whenever the latter blushed in embarrassment.
Wanting to ease the tension between them, his eyes landed on a board game which his cousins have played earlier on and was lying unattended in a corner of the room. Hurrying over to retrieve it, he realized it have been a game of 'Snake and ladder'. He looked towards Ohtori for a moment, and asked.
"Erm... are you in a rush to get home?"
"Huh?" Ohtori blinked, before shaking his head to indicate 'No.'
"Good!" Eiji beamed and punched his hand into the air happily, while Ohtori was looking totally lost.
Grinning sheepishly, he said. "Well... if you don't mind, maybe you can play a board game with me. I know it's silly, but I'm bored to death."
"Aa..." Ohtori make a knowing sound, as he took in the board game held in Eiji's hand. "Sure!" he responded.
For the next hour, they spend their time playing snake and ladder peacefully. Somehow, the dice slipped and fell under the table during one of their turns. Both of them bend down with the intention to retrieve it only to bump their heads together. They shared a nervous laugh with one another, before Eiji lost his balance and ended up landing on top of Ohtori in an embarrassed position.
Blushing furiously, Eiji struggled to remove himself from Ohtori only to lost himself in the latter's enchanting eyes. Before they knew it, they have started kissing each other with raw desires and passions between them.
Sometime later, they broke apart panting for breath; looking all dishevelled and embarrassed. Clearing his throat awkwardly, Ohtori started.
"Thanks for today, but maybe it's time I left."
"Aa... sure, I'll see you to the door." Eiji responded, still blushing furiously. Somehow, he was glad for Ohtori's timing for leaving. He have no doubt that his family members will freak if they happened to walk in on them making out.
"Anou... maybe we can hang out some other time?" Ohtori started hesitantly as he stepped out of the door.
"Huh?" Eiji blinked, before he beamed in response. "Sure! I'll be glad to do so."
Ohtori smiled in response, "I'll see you then." before turning and start heading towards the direction for home.
Eiji smiled as he closed the door behind him, humming a cheerful tune under his breath; he headed into the bathroom for his long forgotten shower. Outside in the living room, the unfinished game of 'Snake and ladder' lays untouched with their matchmaker, the dice.
