It was another day at work. No strains to catch so everyone was doing office work today. Which means that Hidaka was busy fantasizing instead. By now in their relationship Hidaka was calling Fushimi by his name in his fantasies.
"Hidaka!" Fushimi calls, snapping Hidaka back to reality. "Pay attention!"
"Oh, sorry, Saruhi-... Sa- Saru-..." Hidaka takes the notebook on his desk and hits his forehead. "Sorry Fushimi-san."
Fushimi is giving Hidaka a look that is asking him to drop dead. At least that is how Hidaka interprets Fushimi's irritated look at him.
"Tsk. Get to work." Was all Fushimi said before he walks away. Once He was gone the members present all huddled around Hidaka for a much need comfort huddle.
Doumyouji has giving his congratulations for surviving saying Fushimi's name without dying. All while giving him a pat on the back. "That was so brave of you to say his name. And you lived!"
"You both have been dating for months now I'm surprised that you aren't on a first name bases." Enomoto says. "Maybe it was awkward because it was at work."
"This is Fushimi-san we are talking about. Makes since why they are not calling each other by their names." Goto says.
"Hidaka have you talked to Fushimi-san about this?" Kamo asks.
"N-no." Hidaka replies.
"Of course." Benzai shakes his head.
"Another example of Hidaka jumping the gun with Fushimi-san again." Akiyama couldn't help but smile as if this was just a normal occurrence.
"You've done way more embarrassing things at work before." Fuse adds.
Hidaka groans. His friends really were not helping him feel better.
Meanwhile in his office Fushimi was busy typing away at the computer, but he was having a hard time focusing. He kept thinking back to earlier with Hidaka. Yes they have been together for six months now, but Fushimi was always telling himself that it was not going to last. Now he is in this weird position of having to come to terms with the fact that Hidaka isn't going anywhere and this relationship is really happening. He would rather pretend this slip up didn't happen but Hidaka is going to confront him sooner or later.
He let out a sigh, pushing the keyboard back.
The infuriating part is that Fushimi can't for the life of him hate that Hidaka did that. Maybe it's not so bad to hear his name from Hidaka's mouth.
There was a light knock at the door. Slowly, enters the last person Fushimi wants to see right now.
"Fushimi-san...?"
"What?"
Hidaka closed the door behind him and slowly walked up to Fushimi's desk.
"Um... well... about earlier." Hidaka's eyes were shifting from wall to wall, trying not to land on Fushimi.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter." Fushimi says.
"Ah! Thank you for not being upset Fushimi-san." Hidaka was relived.
"I just said it doesn't matter. You can keep saying it if you want." Fushimi looks away from Hidaka with a tint of red on his face.
Instantly Hidaka brightens up, like he is absolutely beaming. Fushimi was unprepared for when Hidaka ran around the desk to hug him and rub their cheeks together.
"Saruhiko-san you are the best!" Hidaka pulls away looking at Fushimi as if he was waiting for something. Fushimi looks away slightly embarrassed.
"A-Akira..." This earned Fushimi a tighter hug from the taller man.
"Oh Saruhiko!"
The next day in the office Hidaka was in a state of bliss. The others were concerned for him but they knew what was going on. They figured he patched things up with Fushimi and is happy about it. They let him be.
"Akira!" Fushimi grumbles. At that everyone in the room froze up. It was shocking to hear Fushimi call anyone by their first name outside of Yata. "We are going on patrol later. Get ready."
"Yes, Saruhiko."
The rest of the Special Forces operatives were happy that Hidaka didn't mess everything up somehow.
"It is great to see everyone get closer to each other." Munakata says. "Seri-kun-"
"No Captain..."
