Chapter 3: In Which Akashi Eats Breakfast
Akashi couldn't help but grimace. He cleared his throat. "I don't understand how you can drink this stuff, Nijimura-san." Akashi's stare briefly lingered at the cup before turning his head towards the older teen standing by the stove. He specifically eyes the garish apron Nijimura was wearing, it seemed that the older teen had the tendency to wear rainbow-themed clothing which, in all honesty, actually suited him, except for this one. Akashi closed his eyes and shook his head.
Nijimura grinned, completely oblivious to Akashi's judging eyes as he focused on flipping the mini-pancakes one by one. "You just have very high standards, Akashi-sama." Nijimura teased, using the same honorific Akashi's rabid and almost cult-like fangirls and fanboys used. Honestly, fans could get wild.
"Don't call me that." Akashi demanded sharply with a glare, earning him a laugh from the raven-haired teen. He barely resisted rolling his eyes as he sighed, picking up his cup again only to peer at the contents with utter disdain. He never should have agreed to try instant coffee as Nijimura suggested. He could only hope that Nijimura's pancakes were more edible, maybe even pleasant.
Akashi absentmindedly stirred the coffee, silently contemplating on whether he would drink it again before deciding that it wasn't worth it, and so he placed the cup down and opted to watch Nijimura cook. He watched as a drop of sweat slowly trickled from Nijimura's temple down to the pale curve of his neck before disappearing beneath his shirt which stuck to his back, showcasing his lean muscular build…
Akashi practically threw his head back as he drunk the cup of coffee in one shot.
"Well?" Nijimura stared right at Akashi's eyes with a hand on his hip and a foot tapping the tiled floor. Akashi stared at the junction between Nijimura's neck and shoulder, flashing to the earlier scene before calmly turning his head away and folding his arms before his chest. He could still feel those sharp eyes pressuring him.
"It was delicious." Akashi finally admitted. He prepared himself and waited for the teasing he would certainly get from the older teen when he received only silence. Baffled, he took a glance at the older teen and his eyes momentarily widened before he quickly averted his gaze away.
How irritating…
Nijimura looked way too happy, his smile was way too bright, and…
…Akashi's heart was beating way too fast.
