A/n: So this was just a lil idea I had which I thought would be cute and I've been using it as a sort of break from the longer fic I'm writing at the moment which as much as I can't wait to upload, I still have a lot to do on it before even thinking of uploading it. Besides this is the most lighthearted and casual fic I've written in a long time and it's so much easier not having to incorporate too many tiny details to make a complex plot.
But anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this happy, fluffy Satoshiki fic, which, if you can't tell by now has become a slight obsession once again :)))
Satoshi had never been a morning person, which happened to make waking up on time for school on a daily basis extremely hard. Today just happened to be one of those days where he slept through every. Single. Alarm.
All 5 of them.
His mother shouting his name from downstairs is what finally jolted him awake, sending him into a frenzy of rushing around his room, pulling on his uniform as and he haphazardly threw the books that he would need in the general direction of his bag. By the time he had dressed himself and collected what he needed, he had fifteen minutes to eat something and get to school on time.
Which, wouldn't have been a problem had it not been for the fact that it usually took him just over ten minutes to get to school.
Luckily, as he came downstairs, he found his mother had already seen this coming, handing him a plate with some toast which he practically inhaled, ignoring his mum's warning about making himself sick before shouting a quick goodbye whilst shooting out of the house.
Just as he left the house, he heard his mum say shout something, presumably to him however, he was already late, he couldn't waste another minute to go back. Figuring that she would text him if it was something important, he continued to school, practically running at his current speed. Noticing a couple of odd looks he received from strangers, he tried to speed up his pace even more, hoping that he might be able to quickly catch up with his friends before Ms Yui arrived to start their lesson.
By some miracle, he managed to arrive three minutes before the bell rung, reaching his classroom looking like he'd just sprinted a marathon. He headed over to the small group of people standing around near one of the desks to the side of the room, quickly being spotted and greeted by them.
"You're awfully late aren't you?" Naomi asked him, which he gave a sheepish chuckle, answering reluctantly
"I slept through my alarms,"
"Oh did you now?" Seiko decided to pipe up, a grin plastered on her face "You sure you didn't oversleep after having some 'fun' last night?"
The brunet's face morphed into one of confusion, trying to decipher what she meant, coming back empty. Instead, Seiko just gave a sinister-sounding laugh, gaining the attention of the rest of the group.
It was quiet for a moment before Yoshiki decided to join in Seiko's teasing, sending a rush of realisation through the brunet.
"Hey Satoshi, they're some nice hickey's you got there," the blonde grinned at the flustered look on the brunet's face, enjoying the flicking of emotions over his face as he remembered the dark purple bruises littering his neck from a couple of days ago. He had gotten away with it yesterday, seeing as his mother had noticed the marks, insisting that he covered them and helping him to cover them using makeup, however, in between waking up late and rushing to get to school on time, he hadn't even thought about it.
"You know you should probably hide those before a teacher sees, or worse, before Shinozaki sees them," The blond continued, his grin not leaving his face for a second, clearly gaining too much amusement out of the situation.
"And how do you propose I do that?" Satoshi asked dryly, sending a challenging glare to the blond, trying to send a silent message to his best friend.
"Oh calm down, it's not a big deal!" Seiko sighed dramatically, leaning against Naomi for effect.
"It's kind of cute, seeing Mochida in a relationship," Mayu tried to make light of the situation as Satoshi sighed inwardly.
If only he hadn't slept through his alarm...
"Satoshi, are you pouting?" Naomi laughed, further encouraging Seiko and Yoshiki's teasing.
"So go on, who is it?" Yoshiki questioned, sending a knowing glance to Satoshi, with a teasing glint in his eyes.
"I..That doesn't matter...I just need to hide these!" The brunet could feel his face burning bright red now, embarrassment settling over him.
"Nonono, I'll help, but only if you tell us who it is. After all, we're all friends here, right?" Seiko gave another grin, simply receiving a glare from Satoshi who sighed in exasperation.
"You wouldn't know who it is even if I told you,"
"Ah yes, the good old' 'She goes to a different school'. Oldest excuse in the book Mochida," Shaking her head in exasperation, Seiko continued, grabbing something from her bag and throwing it to Satoshi who fumbled to catch it "I'll find out eventually, believe me. Use that to cover them though, otherwise Shinozaki will kill you before I can find out,"
Satoshi simply nodded clumsily, using the front-facing camera on his phone to help him cover all the marks just before the last of their class filed into the room followed by Ms Yui shortly after.
Luckily, the lesson passed by without incident. It appeared Ms Yui hadn't noticed anything strange about his neck and so, by the end of the lesson, he'd let his guard down completely. Lunchtime came round and he met Yoshiki outside their classroom, the two heading up to the roof where it was generally much quieter to eat their lunch.
As the door to the roof swung closed with a bang, Yoshiki could no longer hold back his laughter, earning himself a halfhearted glare from Satoshi who flopped down beside the railings.
"So, who's this girl from another school?" The blond asked, taking a seat beside Satoshi and earning himself a weak punch to the arm before the brunet flopped his head onto Yoshiki's shoulder.
"What else was I supposed to say?" he whined, turning his face to hide his face from the blond.
"I mean, I don't mind if you tell them," Yoshiki reached up to run his hand through Satoshi's hair in reassurance before adding "Shinohara's not going to give up until she finds out you know,"
"But how? I've never even told everyone I'm gay," Satoshi's voice was uncertain as he spoke, "Besides how would I even bring that up again?"
Yoshiki let a grin slip onto his face at Satoshi's second question, leaning in closer so that his breath hit the brunet's ear.
"I could help you bring the subject up again," His voice was quiet as he spoke, muffled from where his face was buried in Satoshi's neck.
Without warning, the blond moved to grab Satoshi's wrists, holding them in place as he lowered his mouth to the side if Satoshi's neck, sucking and biting the skin hard, albeit struggling somewhat due to the brunet's wriggling.
"Yoshiki!" Satoshi's voice was practically a screech at this point, trying and failing to throw the blond off. "That's not what I meant!"
When Yoshiki did pull away, he had a wicked grin on his face, smirking as he noticed the darkening mark on Satoshi's neck, now turning a purple-red colour to match his reddening face. The brunet reached up to touch the mark which was swelling up slightly, sending a halfhearted glare to his boyfriend as he whined pitifully
"Yoshikiii,"
"Now you have a way to bring it up again. Or you could always leave everyone guessing. You know, give obvious clues and let them guess," The blond suggested with a shrug, releasing Satoshi's wrists and settling back down beside him as they both began eating their lunch.
"That would be quite amusing. I didn't think we'd hidden it that well but maybe I'm wrong. If Seiko hasn't noticed then I guess it must not be obvious," Satoshi mused "What else could work as hints though?"
"Hmm...I'm not sure..." Yoshiki leaned against the wall to think "How good are you at flirting? Wait -dumb question, you're terrible at it,"
"Hey!" Satoshi protested, no real bite to his words as he countered "Like you're much better,"
"It'd be funny though. I want to see how long it takes them to notice," Yoshiki laughed, having already found Seiko's previous annoyance amusing.
"Well I'd rather not just walk in after this and announce it so it's at least a better idea," Satoshi quickly glanced at the watch on his wrist. "Speaking of which, we should probably start heading back,"
Yoshiki agreed, moving to stand up and stretch with a long yawn before offering a hand to Satoshi which the brunet took gratefully. Once they were both stood up, Yoshiki quickly leaned down, stealing a kiss from the brunet and pulling away with a victorious grin before making his way towards the stairs once more, leaving Satoshi stood shocked for a moment until he realised he had been left, speed walking after the blond to catch up.
They regrouped with the rest of their friends, quickly being assaulted with questions from Seiko.
"She goes to another school now does she Mochida?" The brunette grinned at the uncomfortable look on Satoshi's face, adding "You didn't think we wouldn't notice, right?"
"But Kishinuma weren't you with Mochida at lunch?" Ayumi asked, apparently having been caught up on the situation.
"Hmm," Seiko hummed dramatically "Does that mean Kishinuma might know who it is?" She stared directly at the blond with a knowing look and he simply shrugged with an unbothered look on his face
"Maybe I do, doesn't mean I'll tell you,"
"It must be someone from our school though, otherwise where did this come from?" Seiko exaggeratedly pointed towards the new hickey on Satoshi's neck
"I've never really seen you talk to anyone apart from people in this class though," Naomi added, much to Yoshiki's amusement who let out a quiet laugh at their attempts at guessing.
"Shut up Kishinuma, just because you're a special snowflake," Seiko joked, scanning the room as various students filed into the room, trying to decide whether they are likely to be a good guess.
"It's just funny seeing you all tying to guess," Yoshiki defended as their teacher entered the room, interrupting their conversation.
As everyone began moving to their seats, the whole group seemed to give both Satoshi and Yoshiki a stare which simply said that none of them would drop the subject until they found out.
