It had been a stupid dare, and Sho had regretted taking it from Ren. It'd be fine, Ren had said, we're all doing it to see how successful we are. Whoever wins gets treated by the loser(s) to lunch. And if they all won? They'd just split it even. Like they were gonna do in the first place, if the stupid jerk hadn't mentioned off-hand about making an interesting bet. Tokiya'd been against it, because it was stupid, and only came around when Sho told him that he was a chicken if he didn't do it.

Apparently, Pride's a pretty good reason to ask your roommate to go down on you.

Out of the three, only Ren had actually gotten his roommate to have sex with him. Tokiya had felt it was too awkward, and Sho... Sho had Natsuki. That guy would've thought the wrong thing anyways! It was a stupid idea from the beginning.

Sho sighs and slumps forward off his bed, grabbing a fallen hat and trying to toss it back onto the rack. He ignores the glances Natsuki gives him across the room until it turns into blatant staring, and he literally bites his tongue when he tries to ask why the hell he was staring at him. Natsuki doesn't race to his side, per say, but he does come over with a glass of water and a face full of concern.

"Sho-chan, does it hurt a lot?"

"No," he lies, because it actually does hurt a lot. Takes the water with a muttered thanks and gulps half of down before he notices that Natsuki's been watching him the entire time, concern gone and a strange look given instead. "What? I'm fine."

"Ah, it's nothing. I just thought... that maybe I could kiss you better."

Hold.

The.

Presses.

What the hell? "What the hell? It doesn't work like that, you know, and I already said I was fine!"

But Natsuki just smiles and wraps his arms around Sho, the latter blushing red when a kiss is placed beneath his ear and warmth of the former's breath tickles it. "Can I do it anyways?"

He doesn't wait for a response though, and Sho's trapped in the embrace as Natsuki kisses him long and hard, doing things with his tongue Sho's pretty sure Natsuki shouldn't know about, and when he breaks the kiss both of them are breathing hard. His tongue has stopped hurting though, which is a plus, but Sho doesn't really care because the accursed lips are back on him and his neck.

It takes some willpower, but he pushes away from a disappointed Natsuki and scoots until his back hits the wall, trying to get back his breath.

"W-what the hell was that for?"

"I wanted to kiss you."

A long pause.

"Why?" It's a genuine question of Sho's, and Natsuki scoots toward him with a dangerously bright smile.

"Because you're so cute when you're red like that! Come on, Sho-chan, let's do it again."

Sho doesn't have much of a choice, not when Natsuki gives him a look that sends his heart racing and starts to kiss him again.
