Suuup!
Heheh, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. Well hope ya'll like it
Hooray for reading~!
"WHOOOOAAA~!" Yukimura nearly lost grip onto his bath equipment, his eyes couldn't keep still. They were zooming around analyzing even the smallest cracks of the room. He giggled at his own voice travelling around the room and bouncing off the walls "This is as big as a hot spring!"
Not just him but all six were gobsmacked at the scenery. Earlier, Masamune received a call from his constantly working father explaining about the late instalments of the bathroom downstairs and told him to consider it as a late birthday present.
This led Mitsunari AND Kanetsugu to yet again accuse him for being rich, but he had to break it to them and say it was handmade again.
This was a huge convenience they all thought. The bathroom upstairs had only enough room for at least two people. Mitsunari and Yukimura wouldn't have a bath together due to their shyness. The other four weren't big on the idea either, for obvious reasons.
Kanetsugu and Masamune weren't too keen at seeing each other's skin either. Yukimura always feared that there would be bloodshed if they entered the bath together, Keiji would just take the piss as usual, and Sakon would tape them and use the video as blackmail.
"I wouldn't say that Yukimura..." Masamune scratched his cheek
"DO YOU HAVE MONKEYS IN HERE TOO?"
"WHY WOULD I HAVE MONKEYS IN AN INDOOR BATHROOM?!" he yelled yet Yukimura had already dove into the hot steamy bath of heaven.
Sakon and Keiji exchanged dismissive smiles and gladly joined Yukimura as well. Masamune exhaled disapprovingly, so much for upperclassmen. Can't they at least act their age? For once?
"Grrr, they better not make a mess..." he muttered.
Then he blinked a couple of times, there's something not right, yet he just can't put his finger on it. One two three four...it suddenly feels like rounding sheep into a pen.
"Where's Mitsunari?" he queried himself
He turned back to see the missing lad hiding behind the door, pondering whether to go in after all or wait for them to finish and bathe alone.
Unlike the others, Mitsunari was accompanied with a towel long enough to cover most of his body. He and Yukimura were still in that awkward dating stage Masamune was oblivious to "Mitsunari, quit being a wuss and get down here." He actually liked the feeling of maturity
And it seemed Mitsunari was a fan of the opposite "NO! N-Not yet...!" Mitsunari tried to hide his blush under his hair
"Its fine now, Yukimura's not looking." He lied just to get him out of his hiding place.
"...H-He isn't?" Mitsunari looked hopeful. Without taking any chances Mitsunari made a dash for the bath, sitting in a corner furthest away from his boyfriend.
After sighing at his foolishness, Masamune placed his washing basin under the tap and turned it on, sitting at an angle that would make his buttocks feel comfortable. To his left was Kanetsugu whistling a sweet and upbeat tune with his hair more or less covered in shampoo.
It's not like he wanted to or anything, but the little tyke couldn't help but to be envious at the magnificent muscles Kanetsugu had. Does that mean Keiji lied about his skinniness? Was he jealous too?
Don't see why though, his were more built than Kanetsugu's...then what could it be?
"Say, Masamune do you ever get scared while washing your hair, because you can't see?" he turned to him, hands never leaving his itchy scalp.
"Hnn." The host shook his head in response. "Why?"
Kanetsugu chuckled shyly; his eyes still squeezed shut "Well you see, as a kid I was really bad with shampoo..."
That's it! Masamune had obtained a new teasing tool! And because his eyes were closed Masamune gained the advantage. He rose to his feet, sliding behind the older male and stroked Kanetsugu's left side, teasingly.
"KYAA!" jolted upwards and his eyes snapped open for a brief second realizing how fast the suds coming from his forehead were rolling down his eyelids so he quickly rubbed his eyes to refrain the burning to commence. But it leads to no success; it felt useless because his hands were also covered with suds "Shampoo's getting in my eye!"
Masamune got bonus points for this since the tips of his fingers were cold. This was probably the first time Kanetsugu's reacted so...femininely. "Geez what are you doing, Masamune?! W-where's the shower head?!"
In Masamune's hand.
Kanetsugu's panic meter was gradually rising as he stretched his arm out, feeling around for the item that wasn't even in his reach. A spot of coldness was stuck at his side again "AUUAAAHHHH!"
"Masamune...leave him alone." Sakon scolded softly while being in his trance like state.
His voice didn't even reach Masamune's ears as the only thing he could hear was the amusing screams of pain coming from Kanetsugu "NO MOOOOORE!" real tears shed from that boy.
Masamune ended up with a bump on the head for being extremely loud. Mitsunari felt weird for striking anyone else but Keiji and Yukimura, but someone had to stop the...'fighting'.
Yukimura was more than happy to sit in between them. He gave a reassuring pat on Kanetsugu's back and smiled as if he were saying 'Don't worry, It won't happen again' though in his head was speaking completely different.
"Stare..."
Yukimura turned to his Kohai who seemed to have his eye locked down on something, is he wanting his brand new rose scented soap he bought?
"Something wrong, Masamune-san?" he asked, assuming what he thought.
Still staring firm on the target Masamune soon gained a pink blush "W-what do you eat to grow big like that?"
"Eh?"
"N-Never mind..." he trailed off with a slight giggle, turning to Mitsunari and quickly found himself glaring at his in jealousy. "Hn...even Mitsunari's bigger...huh? Why does he look so angry?"
Mitsunari sighed "...small hands..."
Few minutes Masamune was in the bath hugging his knees and blowing bubbles. Alongside him was Kanetsugu who's equally enjoying every inch of his body being attacked by the pleasurable heat of the water.
Alerted by a mortified shriek Masamune managed to swivel round just in time to see a blushing Mitsunari punching Yukimura across the room as an attempt to touch his naked body with Sakon and Keiji holding their guts in laughter.
At times like this, Masamune had to ponder at what trait of Mitsunari Yukimura could find so attracting. "Geez, what is with him? Can he just act normal for once around Yukimura? First he's all 'Nooo, don't look damn you!' next he's all lovey dovey like now."
"Hehe, that's the special element of a Tsundere, Masamune~" Kanetsugu softly replied, chucking at Masamune's displeased nose wrinkle.
"Whatever. I seriously wonder if he's really just a flat-chested hermaphrodite." He paused himself after turning back to face Kanetsugu, feeling a little warmth on his cheeks at the small bubbles forming a little too close to his crotch
Suddenly a figure rose to the surface, with his hands out ready to strike or something "TALKING BEHIND MY BACK MASAMUNE?" the male deeply yelled while his face was cleverly hidden by his hair.
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"It's me." The male pushed up his front bangs to reveal his large forehead coated with a watery sheen. "Wow Mitsunari." Said Kanetsugu as he himself did not recognize little Mitsunari "Your bangs are really long..."
"How the FUCK can you move so fast?!" Masamune wanted to yell.
"Got a problem with that, Kane?"
"Surprisingly, it's kinda...cute" Masamune traced him up and down, the wet look did look cute on Mitsunari. "WHAT?" he bit his tongue, how could he possibly think Mitsunari, of all people, was cute? "Yer forehead is bigger than my mirror."
"Yep! And it's a noble brow too!" Mitsunari baring a somewhat cheeky grin
What. Did he just agree with Masamune?
"Yo! Skinny man! Come wash the royal back!" it didn't really matter if he was royal, he's still a pain in the ass. "Yeah yeah..."
Watching him leave Masamune would turn back tow and then seeing if he would eventually return.
Huh? What? He didn't enjoy his company at all. That bastard. Why should he? Kanetsugu's just excess baggage. And a wimp at that.
"Hmm...Maybe I should cut my hair..." Mitsunari announced more towards himself than to Masamune. "I'll probably look manlier..."
That will never happen. Imagining the impossible image of Mitsunari with short hair caused Masamune to puff his cheeks "Hunnn~!" and tilted his head towards the water to let it out. Mitsunari irked at his reaction "What's so funny...?"
Instead of replying, Masamune sunk deeper. The amount of bubbles rising to the top angered Mitsunari so freaking much. "DON'T LAUGH AT ME, DAMNIT!"
"NO WAY, MIRROR MAN! HAHAHAHA!"
Heading towards the bath Yukimura's eyes couldn't have stretched any wider. He couldn't have wished for a more heart-warming sight. Funnily enough, from his angle(And his mind) Mitsunari was seemingly giving Masamune a hug from behind.
Yeah...a HUG...
"Hehe, you two look like you're having a blast!"
"Huh? NO WE'RE NOT!" yelled the two simultaneously as Yukimura's face dropped. Yeah it doesn't look like a hug anymore now, huh?
"So what were you two talking about?"
"Oh...I was just thinking of cutting my hair...that's all." Mitsunari twirled a strand of hair around his finger. Though as that was said an awkward silence polluted the area he was in. It was almost hard for Mitsunari to even glance into eyes twinkling bright as the stars at night. Looking up, to his surprise, Yukimura's poker face and colour failure nearly caused him to jump. "...what?"
The dark brunette refused to say anything, grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Hard.
"DON'T DO IT! PLEASE MITSUNARI-CHAN, KEEP YOUR HAIR LONG! EVEN BETTER, TIE YOUR HAIR INTO PIGTAILS AND WEAR THIGH HIGH SOCKS! IT'S THE CLASSIC TSUNDERE STYLE!"
"Need I remind you that I am a boy?" Mitsunari managed to say between shakes.
It wasn't long before they all decided to return back upstairs. One of the reasons was because Kanetsugu couldn't get enough of the warm bathwater and didn't give a damn if his skin turned all prunish. If Keiji didn't drag him out of there, he would have died or something.
Well, death's a little over the top.
Yukimura opened the door leading to Masamune's bedroom and collapsed after taking one tiny step. This was because of the innocent comment he made earlier about Masamune's and Mitsunari's shortness.
The minute hand on the clock didn't even reach a full circle and Sakon's fingers were already glued to the computer keyboard. Masamune wanted to preach at the fact somebody other than him was touching his equipment, but he thought, meh, screw it. He can't be bothered, plus he was gonna get the Nintendo Wii out anyway.
"Alright, time for bed." Instructed Kanetsugu in his normal, yet parental tone. Four groans and a pillow to the head was what he got in return. "Ahhh booo! Who died and made you queen?" said Keiji, the one who threw the pillow, wrapping himself up into Masamune's duvet like a cocoon
Kanetsugu huffed, hand readied with the offending pillow "Earlier to bed, earlier to rise right?"
"GET OUT OF MINE, KEIJI." Masamune was more than ready to choke him with the plug wire.
"Whuut? Why~?" Moaned the Swiss roll Keiji, rolling onto his back to stare at the above him.
It's only Nine o'clock.
"Just because it's the holiday doesn't mean we have to sleep in until the afternoon." Kanetsugu carried on in his semi rant
"And just because our teacher isn't here to preach on us doesn't mean you have to."
"I advise you to shut the fuck up before I get really annoyed with you, Keiji." Kanetsugu coolly warned the blonde with a smile icily enough to pierce through his face. Watching that confidence slowly melting off Keiji's face, Mitsunari too was impressed of this side of Kanetsugu.
Honestly Kanetsugu couldn't deal with anymore. With his eyelids threatening to close any second, he was more than ready to hit the hay.
Reluctantly, Kanetsugu dragged himself over to the door to switch off the light but what he didn't know that at the same time Mitsunari had turned on his torch he had hidden inside his futon and tested all the faces he was gonna pull before bothering his tired companion "Kane?" he gently called out his name, smoothly rotating towards him.
"WA-WAAAAAH!" was the black haired male's responding cry as Mitsunari pulled him in to a rather forceful embrace "THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG, MY FRIEND. MUWHAHAH!"
"LET ME GO! LET ME GOOOOOOOOO!"
"CUT IT OOOOOOUT..." Yukimura growled holding his own torch under his chin. For someone as adorable as him, Yukimura's very capable of conjuring an expression ten times fighting than Mitsunari's.
"KIYAAAAAAAAHHH!" both Kanetsugu and Mitsunari clung onto one another their screams powerful enough to shatter glass. Masamune, after kicking Keiji off his bed, switched on the lamp next to his bed just to shut them up seeing as Yukimura's face was fully restored to its usual cute state.
"Stop picking on Kanetsugu-San!" Yukimura pouted and tapped Mitsunari's noggin with the end of the torch.
"See! Even Yuki wants to sleep Mitsunari!"
"Heeh? But I wanna play on the Wii!"
"YOU WERE ON HIS SIDE ALL ALONG?!"
As swift as a ninja dart Keiji's shot his arm up and shook his head strongly disagreeing with Yukimura's complaint "Nuh uhh! We have to tell scary stories first!" and jumped just to run up to the dark brunette and shake his shoulders.
"Now ya talking my language!" said Sakon before doing the same.
"What's the point? Just go to sleep!" Kanetsugu continued to protest. This time knowing he's not going to win. "Boooo why are you against the idea so much?" Yukimura pouted teasingly.
Kanetsugu's was serious. "Because I think it's childish, irrelevant-"
"And also because he's a big CHICKEN." Mitsunari confirmed with Masamune sniggering behind him.
"AM NOT!"
"Bububuh BUGAAK!"
"Wh-why you...FINE! Damn it I'll listen..." He sighed heavily in defeat and joined the rest in the little circle huddle "Only for a while! If it's boring I'm going to sleep."
"You know, when you're like this Kanetsugu, I just wanna hug you." Keiji smirked at Kanetsugu turning pink.
A few games of rock paper scissors Yukimura ended up being victorious. Now with all the lights off, with an acception of Yukimura's torch, all eyes were on him, waiting for even the tiniest syllable to pop out that mouth.
Strangely Kanetsugu was actually looking forward to it. "Yes! Yuki can't possibly think of a super crazy story. Knowing him he might end up telling-"
"At last, he thought, the kitchen door had been barricaded with all the things he could find, like a broom and a chair. Still it wasn't enough, he knew sooner or later that they would surely find him..."
"WHAT'S WITH THAT TONE?"
"SHUT UP KANETSUGU!"
Yukimura donned his usual blank eyed expression then smiled before continuing "Why was this happening? This must be a dream right? He tried to remain positive in this, probably the heat's getting to him, yeah that's gotta be it."
A variety of gulps came from the other five with their eyes wanting to hear more from the story teller. Honest to god, they were not expecting Yukimura to sound so...goddamn creepy. It makes them think twice about getting on his bad side...if he ever had one that is.
Oh wait, he does.
"Sweat building up from his forehead, hearing sounds he's never discovered before. Even the tiniest movements of his feet made the wooden floorboards go CREEEAK~!"
Nearly all of them flinched at his pitch change, both Masamune and Mitsunari played the blank card as they were too stubborn to show fear on their faces. Kanetsugu on the other hand had teeth annoyingly chattering as loud and fast as a wind up dentures "Stop it Yukiiiiiii...!"
"Quiet you wuss!" Sakon slapped his back as an attempt to shut him up.
"Originally he planned on taking his weary body straight up to bed but the ever gave him the chills so he jumped into the couch and immediately fell sound asleep. Seconds became minutes and minutes turned into hours..."
Bit by bit, the gang would shuffle closer to Yuki, remaining silent to even hear the heavy breathing coming from the dramatic boy. "Eventually, he woke up...and discovered the black bed sheet he was suddenly covered with."
Yukmura felt like he had teased them enough, so with one final inhale he let out a final cry "TOO BAD IT'S ACTUALLY MILLIONS AND THOUSANDS OF ARACHNIDS NIPPING AT HIS FLESH! NAW NOM NOM NAAAAAAOMMMMM!"
"HUNGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" is the immediate response from the frightened souls, all having their own signature style of screeching, oddly one as high as a female swallowing helium seemed to be louder than the rest of them.
Click~! The lights were back on. "I think that's how it went." Yukimura tried to say knowledgeably. A slight giggle came out whilst witnessing the exhausted crew gasping for air.
Noticeably Sakon had the most trouble trying to find the words to congratulate the dark brunette's efforts "Oh mannn...!" he could not believe how fast his heart rate was going; he truly thought it was going to burst out of his chest.
Keiji gladly praised the young Yukimura even as he too was suffering from lack of oxygen. Heart attack? Bring it on. "Jesus Yuki, that...was awesome!" Having the face of bashfulness Yukimura lightly scratched his cheek with his eyebrows turning upwards to complete the look "Thanks...!"
His mouth hung open a little as if he were about to blurt something random out. There is a chance of him delivering a punch line, "...Masamune-San! I challenge you to a game of 'All Stars Racing!'" a lot of enthusiasm suddenly came out as he pointed to the male he called out
"You're bored already?!" Mitsunari looked surprised but he knew he shouldn't be. His only option was to gently facepalm himself.
"Dude you're on!"
But when Yukimura took that first step...
CREEEAK~!
Not just Yukimura but everyone else gulped at the noise. "...My story's coming to life?" whatever he was trying to swallow, for the second time, didn't go down as much as he hoped. And if he recalled the earlier event, his imitation of the noise sounded just like that.
"That's weird. I've never heard that before..." Stated Masamune, hesitantly.
"Dude, are you sure it's not your weight?" Keiji prompted nearly smiling at the attention now focused on him "Are you that heavy?"
"..."
THWACK!
"Ughh..."
Mitsunari would've laughed but he was already trying to calm down Yukimura sulking in his bed.
"...ahh what'd I say...?!" Keiji had to ask Sakon about the hand sized lump he received. Simple answers could only fit the minds of simpletons. "You stepped on a landmine."
"I'm NOT fat!" the pouting Yukimura tried his best to convince himself which lead to Mitsunari laughing nervously at the fact "Y-Yuki...nobody mentioned 'fat'..."
"...Yo, where's Kanetsugu?"
Whimpering came from the blonde. Or so it would seem. At first they thought it was Keiji's stomach creating a ruckus but in fact it was the missing man right behind them in a squatting position, ears plugged shut with his hands and gently sobbing to himself "I am deaf, I am blind, and it's all inside my mind!" over and over.
"Wow, that's actually a good rhyme." Said Keiji in all seriousness
"How long has he been there?" Masamune asked in a snarky tone, currently deciding whether to laugh inwardly or not.
Mitsunari's grin formed into a smirk within a matter of seconds, picturing a scene like this but when they were kids. Kanetsugu's a perfect specimen for Mitsunari's torturing. He couldn't resist since Kanetsugu's in full chant mode, so shuffling towards the vulnerable male he patted his left shoulder and leaned into his right ear. "Kane...look out for the HELLEPHANT!"
"IYAAAAAA!" even with his ears covered, Kanetsugu could still hear that voice of evil.
"HE'S COMING OUT DA CLOSET!"
"IIAAADAAA! IIAAA! LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOONE...!" he pleaded with all his might and crawled into a corner to cry louder.
"MITSUNARI!" Yukimura yelled.
"Whaaa~t? It's funnyyy!"
Yukimura could deal with him later. This is more important. "Aha...I'm sorry Kanetsugu-San! He's just being silly, it's alright. I'm not going to tell anymore stories, okay?" Yukimura said in a positive and reassuring way, walking up to him and hoping to get a good look at his face. Masamune did too, with his phone in hand ready on camera mode.
But when he turned round, the phone had dropped. It's not ugliness they are seeing, but a facial expression they thought he could never do. "...uguuu...you ...you really mean it...?" he said with a tiny sniffle. Everybody was a little taken back. Not one face in the room hadn't been infected with the pink blush.
Masamune and Yukimura could not take the sudden burst of adorableness anymore so they pounced, like determined predators discovering fresh meat. "WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE?"
Soon they had to break the little cuddle of heartwarmingness since Mitsunari threw a hissy fit at the fact Yukimura's arms were currently occupied on someone other than him. Eventually Yukimura and Masamune found the right disk for the game they requested switching it to two player mode.
The TV was parked up against the wall opposite Masamune's bed. With him and Yuki sitting in front of it, there was about enough space in between for at least three people to walk through at the same time.
Even though he was told not to, Keiji was defiant enough to crawl back into cocoon mode. It's possible he did this knowing Masamune would be too busy on the game. And Sakon must've thought this too as his fingers were back on the keyboard. As long as they can't hear what he was listening to, it'll be okay.
Whatever level they fairly decided on Masamune would always choose Sonic, for some reason he adored the idea of a hedgehog speaking 'engrish'.
"Oh hey, you know the beach levels in this game?" Yukimura brought up in relation to the level they were playing. "Yuh?" Masamune half mumbled, concentrating on his button mashing.
"It makes me think of drowning."
An eyebrow lift from the young host is what he got as a response, though he blushed at the feeling of Mitsunari's arms wrapping around his waist "Why that of all things?" he said after nuzzling Yukimura's neck. "Because the drowning song is my all time favourite!"
Kanetsugu, sitting beside Masamune, simply rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah that one! How did it go again?"
#Dun dun dun dun dundundundun
"Whoa! Just like that!" Masamune quickly paused the game so they could listen better.
The beat got faster. Dundundundundun, dundundundun
Mitsunari's eyebrow twitched in curiosity. "Why can I hear it...?"
DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN~ DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN
"OH MY GOD!"
DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN#
DADU-beep~!
"...Ah, that's mine." Said Yukimura now reading a text message.
"THAT'S YOUR FUCKING RINGTONE?" Kanetsugu could hit him for being so cruel, but as usual Yukimura, being oblivious to his anger, just smiled with long lines replacing his eyes. "It's the best one ever right?"
Mitsunari smirked "Relax Kanetsugu it's not gonna hurt you...like the hellepha-"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kanetsugu was back in a corner once again.
Yaaaay~! Kane abuse...! .. Σ（ﾟдﾟlll） *cough* I mean...poor Kanetsuguuuu TT^TT
Sonic Adventure's 'Drowning theme' is in my opinion the, scariest version out of all of the Sonic games. So scary I fucking love it ¬w¬
(youtubedotcom)/watch?v=IBpWn0j8A-0 I'm not the only one who had nightmares as a kid, cuz of that am I?
