I missed writing in my home fandom.
This took four days of my life. It is almost 2 in the morning and I have work in a few hours.
Fuck it, we ball.
Also, I was alternating between writing this on a phone and on a keyboard that really doesn't catch every key I type so I apologize for typos.

"It's finished!"

Megumi lifted her head from the table at Soma's announcement. Even though this was going to be the fourth bowl of curry tonight, she was still very interested in what her best friend came up with this time.

Soma placed the newest dish of curry on the mini table, elbowing the half full bowl of the last one out of the way. He already had two spoons in the steaming dish. Megumi grabbed one of them and pushed the contents around.

"This one's a seafood curry." Soma explained. Megumi nodded in acknowledgement. She had seen the ingredients Soma had been working with all afternoon. She had come into his room to check on him as he was prepping for a Shokugeki and was unsurprisingly roped into being his taste tester.

At least she had been able to go between his room and the rest of the dorm. It helped to walk off the meals.

"This one isn't as spicy as before, right?" Honey eyes eyed the other bowl. She could barely eat the chicken curry because of how much her mouth burned after a couple of bites. Even Soma with his high tolerance couldn't take much of it.

"No!" He waved his hands. "I used other spices this time."

Also, he didn't accidentally put too much chili in this attempt.

With that, he lifted the other spoon to his mouth. He blew on it a few times before popping it into his mouth. Megumi did the same, though a bit more cautiously.

"Ooh." The bluenette let out an impressed murmur. She took a second bite with more of the ingredients. This was the best one yet tonight! It had a slight kick but it also had a sweetness to it. She took another spoonful.

Meanwhile, Soma had stopped at two. He frowned at the bowl in thought.

"Something wrong?" Megumi caught on to his expression.

"I was hoping for it to be a bit more spicy." He sighed.

"I think it's pretty good. It's more of a sweeter heat than painful heat."

"It could be the methi seeds I used this time to balance it out." Soma speculated. "I ran into Hisako and asked her if she had any good spice ideas. She gave me some of those seeds to try and explained that they can help with drawing out flavors."

Megumi hummed before taking another spoonful from their shared bowl. Soma stared at his friend for a few more seconds. A warm feeling formed in his chest. Even though he had been underwhelmed by the lack of spice, he was happy that Megumi was enjoying it. He took a couple more bites to see if he could figure out what spice he should use more of for his desired level. When he failed to find out by taste alone, he stood back up and walked back to the counter to figure out the ingredients by sight.

Megumi watched him quietly as she ate the last few bites of the dish. She then sat back on her hands. She kind of hoped Soma didn't go for a fifth attempt tonight. It was getting late and she knew that she was not going to be able to eat much else tonight. Nor did she want to eat another spicy dish. She was already getting hot at the thought of it.

Very hot.

Megumi fanned herself with her hand. She was just fine a few seconds ago. Why did she suddenly heat up? She undid the first couple of buttons of her shirt to help cool down.

"Are you cooking again?" She asked. Maybe he turned on the burners again.

"Nah." Soma stretched. "I'm gonna clean up." He started to put stuff back in his cabinets. He nearly bumped into Megumi, who was bringing the dishes from the table to the sink. He was starting to feel a bit warm. He saw Megumi pull at her shirt to air herself as she leaned against the tiny sink. He knew if he was warm, the bluenette was even worse.

"I'll turn the fan up." He let her know before he went to pull the ceiling fan cords.

Megumi shot him a grateful smile. She decided to wash the bowls and spoons they used. Soma had taken care of almost everything else but the ladle and the pot that was used for the curry. It took a little longer than necessary because she relished the feeling of the water on her skin, but it still didn't take long.

Soma, who was still putting things away, paused for a moment. He was still feeling warm and decided to cool himself faster by taking off his shirt. He quickly removed it, throwing it on a box in his room.

Megumi had caught the whole thing.

Now, she had seen Soma shirtless many, many times. At this point in their friendship she barely batted an eye when it happened.

However, this time Megumi's eyes were glued to him. Her gaze roamed his body, tracing every shape of his muscles as he moved around. She used her shirt to fan herself again.

Maybe she should follow Soma's example?

The thought was sudden, but to her heated mind it made sense. After all, he's also seen her topless many times before, though in some less than ideal situations.

She undid the rest of her buttons, allowing the shirt to separate completely. She decided to sit on the counter to watch her friend.

Soma eventually came to where she was standing with a bottle in his hand. He couldn't help the surprise he felt when he saw her shirt hanging loosely on her. Nor could he stop his citrine eyes from roaming across the exposed bra and skin.

"I need to put this in the cabinet above you." His brain dimly remembered the task he had been working on.

"Oh." The bluenette simply said.

Megumi would have moved if her mind wasn't in a haze. But it ended up not mattering at all as Soma was already reaching up above her. When she felt him press against her knees, she instinctively opened her legs to allow him to get closer. She was wearing a skirt today so there wasn't any resistance from clothes.

Soma slid into the gap easily.

Megumi realized the position she had put herself in when he moved against her thighs. Specifically against her center.

Megumi felt her brain fog up even more.

"Alright." Soma had placed the bottle and started to move back. He was immediately met with resistance around his legs. Megumi had wrapped her legs around him. Then Megumi reached out to wrap her arms around him.

"Soma…?" She whispered, looking at him through half lidded eyes. He found himself entranced by them. He wasn't sure if he had allowed Megumi to pull him or if he had leaned in himself.

He just knew how his body felt when their lips met.

It was the sensation that he had been looking for in his cooking today. It was a burn that went through his whole body, almost too hot to handle. But he couldn't stop himself from wanting more. They pressed against each other as they fiercely made out until Megumi pulled away for air.

"I feel…hot…" She panted as Soma started to kiss and suck down her face and neck.

"I know how you feel." He murmured against her skin.

He used his hands to push her bra up, relishing how her boobs slipped out with a jiggle. He massaged them with his hands, letting his fingers lightly brush against the hardening nipples.

Megumi busied herself with taking off her top garments. She let her shirt fall to the floor and then unhooked her bra to let it have the same fate. Soma paused long enough to allow her to do just that. He then encased a nipple in his mouth and flicked his tongue against it. Megumi let out a small moan, having just enough awareness to keep it down. The walls were thin and the pipes carried sounds, after all.

Soma, after giving both nipples attention with his mouth, straightened up and grabbed her legs. Instead of freeing himself, he pulled them higher onto his hips before lifting Megumi off the counter with ease. He kissed her for the few steps to the bed before setting her down. It was then when Soma was able to break free from her hold. His trembling hands went to the drawstring of his shorts, almost too eager to rid himself of his remaining clothes. Megumi took a few moments before she decided to do the same. Her underwear barely left her body before Soma was kissing her once more. He gently pushed her sideways until she got the message to lay on the bed.

A thought occurred to Soma then. Maybe he should wash his hands one more time.

"Wait." He whispered against her lips before he stood up.

Megumi didn't want him to leave, but she was too slow to grab him. She felt so hot but she needed Soma near her. He needed to be touching her. Her hand slid down her body until her fingers dipped into her folds. Quiet whimpers escaped her mouth as she started to rub her clit.

This wasn't enough!

"Soma…" She mewled.

The bed dipped a moment later.

"Shh…I'm here, angel." Soma murmured into her stomach. He then sat back to replace her fingers with his on her clit. He popped her slick digits into his mouth, introducing her taste to him. Once he sucked her fingers clean he let them fall so he could use his now free hand.

He was able to slide one finger in pretty easily. The second one was much harder, but eventually he was able to move them around. Megumi started to rock her hips, whimpering once more as she tried to take in more of him and hit that spot. The sight and sounds of her caused Soma to give a groan of his own. He took the hand that was currently not in his best friend and wrapped it around his aching cock. He stroked it a few times before he couldn't fight the urge anymore. He slid his fingers out of her cunt.

Megumi whined at the loss.

"Hold on, angel." Soma ripped open a condom that he grabbed on his way back. He was glad he listened to his father's advice to at least have a box around.

"Hurry…" Megumi begged.

Soma soon returned and lifted Megumi enough to line up against her entrance. He rubbed his cock against her before he pushed it in, earning gasps from both of them.

For Soma, this was the perfect heat he had been looking for.

For Megumi, this was what she needed to deal with the heat.

Soma didn't get all the way in, but he got close. He made himself wait as he felt Megumi adjust around him. When she moved her hips he knew that he was okay to move.

Megumi soon found herself completely gone, only able to focus on the pleasure that Soma was giving her. Soma actually saw that moment she lost herself in bliss, which only pushed him towards that point as well.

He adjusted them so he could go deeper, and by the loud moan she emitted from the new position she seemed to agree, too. He loved the noises she made as he fucked her.

Thankfully, Soma was still aware enough to realize that Megumi was being a little too loud for comfort. They still may be alone on the third floor but the pipes still carried noise. He placed a hand over her mouth, knowing that she would not register any verbal warning. Another good idea because she came a few minutes later, her high pitched groan mostly muffled. He removed his hand once he was sure she was done.

Soma continued to pump into her as she came down from her orgasm, his own still quite a bit away. He glanced into the bluenette's eyes, noticing that she still wasn't "back" yet. He was proven correct when she pulled him down to capture him in another searing kiss.

Once they separated for air, Soma got her to flip onto her hands and knees. He got off the bed and pulled her to the edge. He had to do minor adjusting with a pillow, but he was able to get back inside of her from that position. Breathy moans escaped out of Megumi's mouth, but they were blocked by her own arm.

Soma was able to go much faster in this position, and he took advantage of it. His fingers pressed into her soft skin as he thrusted into her, the lewd sounds of their flesh smacking together filling the room. He soon felt her clench and another muffled whine told him she was coming again. Soma did a few more frenzied thrusts before he buried his face in her shoulder, covering his own mouth as he came.

He rested until he stopped seeing stars. He then lifted himself off Megumi's back and slid himself out of her. After he got rid of the condom, he came back to the bed to check on Megumi, who barely moved this whole time. Even though he was drained he was still able to lift and position the female easily until she was lengthwise on the bed. Soma lay next to her.

"Megumi?"

Her eyes opened halfway. Soma could tell that she was exhausted, but her eyes were clear again.

"You're back." The redhead chuckled.

Megumi squinted in confusion at his words, but she felt too full, too hot, and too tired to ask further.

Two days later…

"Oh, Soma!"

Soma and Megumi looked up at the sound of a familiar voice. Hisako had popped out from a corridor in front of them, papers under an arm.

"Hey, Hisako." He greeted while Megumi waved.

"I meant to talk to you sooner, but I heard that you won your curry Shokugeki."

"Yup!" Soma smirked.

"Were the methi seeds of any help?"

"Not really. I was looking for a curry with more of a kick. I ended up using something else."

Hisako gave a hum of disappointment.

"It's more of a personal preference, really. I like spicier curries. Megumi loved the batch I made with them, though. She nearly ate the whole thing by herself."

"Soma! You didn't have to say that!"

"You already had had three bowls of curry before-"

"We shared bowls, and that third one didn't count because it was even too spicy for you."

"Well, methi, or fenugreek, is used as a maple syrup substitute, so it is on the sweeter side. It's a versatile plant, so people use it for health reasons as well. It's also used as an aphrodisiac."

"An aphrodisiac…?" Megumi slowly repeated.

"Yes." Hisako nodded. A phone chime sounded and Hisako pulled hers out of her pocket. "I'm sorry, I have to go meet someone. I do apologize that my suggestion was of no help."

"It happens." Soma assured her.

Hisakop said a farewell and hurried away. Soma watched her leave before turning his gaze to his companion.

"You know what?" He addressed his silent, beet-red friend. "I think I like that batch of curry after all."

In case it wasn't clear, Megumi had a lot more in her system than Soma did, so that's why she was so out of it.

Thanks for reading!
