A/n: Okay I'm pretty sure I proofread this earlier in the week but I'm not sure and I'm maybe a lil bit tipsy right now so I apologise for any mistakes because I'm kind of unable to proofread one last time before I upload. But yeah, Enjoy the second chapter fo this stupid fic hehe :))))
It was a couple of days after Satoshi's hickey situation and the guessing of who he could possibly be in a relationship hadn't ceased yet, not that he'd really expected it to, after all, he was friends with possibly the most stubborn, persistent people possible.
Somehow they had all been talked into a movie night, originally suggested by Seiko which was supported mostly by Mayu who none of them had the heart to say no to.
And so, they all found themselves grouping together after school, preparing to head over to Naomi's whose mother had agreed to allow them round. They walked as a group, splitting off into smaller groups as they exited the school grounds, leaving Satoshi and Yoshiki to hang back slightly, allowing them the chance to discuss ideas.
"This would be a perfect time to hint things to them," The brunet suggested, practically taking the words out of Yoshiki'smouth. The blond reached down to entwine their fingers together subtly, strategically hiding it from anyone who wasn't looking for it directly.
"I could always pull out the good old yawn and put my arm around you?" The blond suggested with a grin, fully expecting Satoshi's eye roll before it came.
"That's too obvious...unless you make it into a joke? Then people won't take it as seriously?"
"Hmm...I could try," Yoshiki responded, wracking his brain or ideas. "You could always 'accidentally' fall asleep on my shoulder?"
"Like I'd pass up that opportunity," Satoshi grinned, squeezing Yoshiki's hand gently and suggesting they should speed up to catch up to the others.
They were all greeted happily by Naomi's mother as they filed inside, replying politely as they were led through the house to the living room, settling down as Naomi went to help her mother prepare some snacks.
Almost immediately, Seiko turned her attention to continuing to guess who Satoshi may be in a relationship, starting out by listing of people in their class who she had thought could be a possibility before moving onto more general questions.
"How tall are they?"
"How would that help you?"
"Just answer the question,"
"I just don't see how that's relevant," Upon seeing Seiko's challenging glare, he stood up, raising his hand just above his head "Probably around there,"
"Who on earth in our class is that tall? I feel like you're messing with us,"
"There's a couple of people around that tall in the drama club," Mayu added helpfully, Seiko's attention now flicking between Mayu and Satoshi, looking for any hints that what Mayu had said was relevant.
"They're not in the drama club. At least not that I know of," Satoshi explained, earning a sigh of defeat from Seiko.
"You've got to give us some sort of hints, come on Mochida we're all dying to know who it is,"
"I've given you plenty of hints, you've just not noticed them," Satoshi shrugged, seeing Naomi re-entering the room and giving a sympathetic smile.
"Seiko are you still not letting this go?" She asked, placing down a plate of snacks and moving to set up the TV.
"Of course not! Not until I find out who it is!" Seiko stated determinedly with a laugh.
They all decided on a film and Naomi set it up before sitting next to Seiko who immediately launched herself at her best friend, her arms wrapping around her tightly before finally settling down to watch the film.
Whilst everyone's attention turned to the film, Yoshiki took the opportunity to take Satoshi's hand which lay between them. The brunet subtly glanced to the blond, letting a small grin slip onto his face as he glanced around to see whether anyone had noticed.
It seemed everyone was too focused on the movie playing to notice, making him grin wider as he tried his best to stifle it, not wanting to risk giving everything away.
As the film continued, Yoshiki slowly let his hand over to rest on Satoshi's thigh, giving more and more subtle hints which appeared to go unnoticed by everyone. It was around halfway through the film that Yoshiki excused himself to go to the bathroom, an idea popping into his head which he just couldn't resist.
He pulled out his phone and scrolled through the few contacts in his phone to find Satoshi's name, clicking on it and pressing the call button.
It rung for a few seconds before Satoshi answered and the blond spoke quietly.
"Pretend that you're talking to your 'girlfriend'," He hoped that his voice wasn't audible to the others in the room as he heard Satoshi reply.
"Hey, I'm just at Naomi's. What's up?"
The sound of Satoshi struggling and Seiko's loud voice came over the phone and Yoshiki could hear Satoshi being quizzed by everyone in the room.
"Can we talk to them?" Mayu asked in the background followed by Seiko shouting a greeting of some sort before Satoshi quickly spoke again
"Hey, I'm going to have to call you back, unless you want to talk to Seiko that is?" He paused for a moment before saying a quick goodbye, promising to talk later, much to Seiko's disappointment and a moment later, he heard the call disconnect.
He put his phone away again, waiting a moment to re-enter the room so as not to seem suspicious. As he entered the room, he saw the chaos which had ensued, Seiko had returned to quizzing Satoshi on what his so-called 'girlfriend' looked like and had somehow roped Everyone else into it too, with Ayumi and Naomi both suggesting various people it could be.
"Kishinuma! Don't you think it would be really nice of you to tell us who it is?" Seiko spoke enthusiastically as he returned to sit next to Satoshi.
"Sorry, no can do," Yoshiki replied with a shrug.
"Can you give us a hint?" Ayumi asked curiously.
"Like what? It's probably the last person you'd expect, I know that much," Satoshi offered, only serving to confuse everyone more.
"That could just mean we don't know them," Naomi pointed out, earning only a shrug from the brunet.
"Shouldn't we get back to the movie?" Satoshi laughed awkwardly, trying to change the subject seeing as everyone seemed to have forgotten why they were there in the first place.
"It doesn't matter how long you put it off you know," Seiko grinned as the movie continued playing, everyone's attention turning back towards it.
The ending passed with no incident and they quickly moved onto another one, during which Satoshi decided to use Yoshiki's ideas from earlier. He let out a long yawn, leaning his head back with his eyes fluttering closed before allowing his head to fall to the side to rest on Yoshiki's shoulder. No one particularly paid attention to this besides Seiko joking about 'no homo', seemingly unaware of how close she was to the truth.
Satoshi simply enjoyed inhaling Yoshiki's scent, quickly realising that no-one had noticed and moving to grasp Yoshiki's hand in his own, not noticing the quick glance Yoshiki threw his way.
No further comments were made, not even as Satoshi moved closer and closer to Yoshiki until he was practically glued to the blond's side.
Truthfully, he wanted nothing more than to be able to openly show his affection (Partly to get back at Yoshiki for his teasing the previous day) however, Yoshiki had been right about it being ridiculously fun to watch everyone guessing when to him, the answer was clearly displayed to them.
He stayed with his head on Yoshiki's shoulder for as long as he possibly could, enjoying the warmth of the blond until his neck screamed at him to move into a more comfortable position.
"Finally realised who you were sleeping on huh?" Seiko joked before adding as an afterthought "I'm quite surprised you let him do that Kishinuma, maybe his girlfriend has a secret rival,"
They both struggled to hold back their laughter at how oblivious everyone seemed to be, struggling to keep straight faces as Yoshiki decided on an appropriate response.
"I'm an honorary replacement for when they're not here," He joked, pretending to yawn and stretch his arms above his head, wrapping an arm around Satoshi as he added with a grin "No homo though, am I right?"
"Maybe a little bit," Naomi laughed, amused at how embarrassed Satoshi seemed to be.
"A little bit's okay," Yoshiki shrugged "Hey, Morishige you want some?"
He was met with laughter and a polite decline before everyone's attention turned back to the movie that was still playing.
Yoshiki didn't bother to remove his arm from around Satoshi after his joke however, it seemingly went unnoticed, not that he minded, reaching up to absentmindedly play with the hair atthe nape of Satoshi's neck.
The rest of the night passed by without incident and one by one people began leaving for the night, saying their goodbyes before leaving into the cold night air. Satoshi walked alongside Yoshiki until they had to part ways and got their respective homes, thinking about what had happened that night.
There was precisely one thing that Satoshi had learnt tonight. And it was that his friends were all complete idiots...
