It was a quiet day at the Beach, no games or troubles in sight, and Chishiya was in his room. He was just relaxing on the bed. But he wasn’t alone.
Niragi was laying on top of him, his face buried in the blonde’s neck and his body feeling like it was on fire. Niragi ran so hot, it was like Chishiya had his own personal heater with him every time they were this close.. Which was way more often than people would think.
It was somewhere around five in the afternoon (Chishiya hadn’t bothered to check the exact time), and Niragi was currently waking up from his nap. He yawned, then groaned softly and lifted his head to look at Chishiya with a small tired smile. His messy bed head was adorable.
In that moment Chishiya’s heart skipped a beat and forced him to realize something. They weren’t officially dating, but honestly..? Chishiya thought he’d really like it if they were. He really, really liked Niragi. Maybe even loved-! But he couldn’t tell him that, ever.
While Chishiya fantasized about what a relationship with the other man would probably be like, Niragi decided to shift a little to get more comfortable on top of the blond. This action didn’t just interrupt Chishiyas thoughts, it also made his heartbeat pick up a little. He desperately hoped that Niragi wouldn't detect it, because well.. This was just going to make his feelings very obvious, wasn’t it?
He was proven right almost instantly.
It only took a few moments until Niragi noticed, of course. He just had to prove that his senses were really as sharp as everyone thought, huh? Niragi actually pressed his ear onto Chishiya’s chest a little before looking at the blonde with a surprised look on his face. “‘shiya- Your heart’s beating super fast.. Are you nervous?”
Chishiya couldn’t really do anything except look away and pretend he simply didn’t hear the question. He wasn’t exactly ready to discuss his feelings for Niragi with the man himself yet.. Chishiya ignored Niragi’s searching gaze, and he knew that Niragi knew this.
Taking a deep breath, Chishiya finally decided to react to the question - and even though he had planned to respond verbally, all he did was move his head up and down once in a quick nod. Niragi had the audacity to smile that dangerous smile of his and ask: “Why? It’s just me.” Which.. Yeah, obviously it was just him. Chishiya knew this, and he wouldn’t be as nervous if he didn’t have this massive fucking crush on the guy! “..You kind of make me really nervous”, was what he finally managed to get out. Only to immediately blush furiously.
When he looked back down, he was met with Niragi’s wide eyes. “I- I do?” Chishiyas brain was screaming at him, like.. ‘Yes! You do!’ But he couldn’t exactly say that out loud, now could he? Well, technically he could, but just.. nodding again was probably the safer choice. So he did just that - in favour of embarrassing himself further by trying to form actual words.
Niragi chuckled softly - which Chishiya could feel against his chest more than he could hear it - and looked at him again. His stare was so intense that Chishiya felt his face heat up even more than before. He felt like his cheeks were on literal fire. If Niragi continued Chishiya would surely burn him with the amount of heat he could swear he felt radiating from his face.
“You’re really cute.”
Immediately after hearing these words, Chishiya hid his face in Niragi’s neck (he hadn’t expected the other man to be so forward). Niragi however wasn’t having it. “Hey… Look at me”, he whispered. He sounded just as nervous as Chishiya felt, so Chishiya slowly lifted his head to look at him. When their eyes met, he blushed again - he just could not look at the man! Niragi actually giggled at that, and repeated his earlier statement: “See? Cute.”
His gaze turned into a really serious one after that, and Chishiya felt in his chest that Niragi was about to say something important that would impact their friendship forever. “I meant what I said, you know..?”
Then Niragi leaned down and Chishiya felt his lips touch his forehead in a soft kiss. After Niragi pulled back, he just smiled at Chishiya. He looked really proud of himself, and Chishiya thought that was it - but then Niragi asked a question that made Chishiya’s heart stop and his stomach erupt with butterflies: “Can I kiss you?”
Chishiya just stared at the man on top of him, unblinking.
He was dreaming. He fell asleep and didn’t realize it, right? There was absolutely no way this was real and actually happening right now! He felt his cheeks get hot and knew he probably looked like a tomato about to burst. Niragi didn’t seem phased, though, and when Chishiya finally nodded after what felt like an eternity, he smiled.
Then he started to lean in - slowly, to give Chishiya a chance to back out if he didn’t actually want this. It seemed he had underestimated Chishiya however, when the other man decided to surprise him by surging up to capture Niragi’s lips in a soft kiss. At first, it was just their lips touching and moving against each other - until Chishiya sighed softly and parted his lips.
Niragi took that as an invitation to slip his tongue into Chishiya’s mouth and turn their kiss into something less than innocent really fast. Their tongues curled around each other and swirled together in a heated dance. Niragi softly moaned into it and then bit Chishiya’s lip softly, before continuing to kiss the hell out of the blonde.
By the time they parted, both of them were panting.
Niragi caught his breath and looked at Chishiya with the softest look he had ever seen on Niragi’s face. The amount of care and love he could see in the other man’s eyes almost made him feel dizzy.. ‘Damn, I’m really in love with him’, he thought. Niragi’s smile was so beautiful, it made Chishiya wish he could keep it forever.
He smiled back at the man and was about to say something when Niragi beat him to it. “I really like you, ‘shiya.”
The simple statement made Chishiya’s eyes light up and the butterflies in his stomach started fluttering their wings again. His smile widened at the realisation that Niragi actually liked him back and the whole situation wasn't a dream. Chishiya couldn’t stop the happy laugh from bubbling up his throat and spilling out, and before Niragi could even react a few words made their way out as well. “I like you too. I’ve liked you for a while, actually..”
Chishiya then moved his arms so he was actually hugging Niragi, and pulled him back down on top of himself. But that wasn’t what Niragi wanted, apparently, as he whispered: “Hold on.” Niragi then maneuvered them so they were sideways and he was facing Chishiya. “That’s better, now we can actually cuddle.”
Chishiya agreed, this was better. He wrapped his arms around Niragi and hugged him tight, burying his head in the other’s solid chest. Niragi’s heart was beating just as fast as Chishiya’s own.Chishiya smiled when he noticed it - it was cute. Then he said something into Niragi’s chest that made the other suck in a surprised breath.
“Does that mean we’re boyfriends now?”
Niragi, to his credit, only needed a few seconds to compose himself enough to answer - even though the bright red blush on his cheeks that definitely went all the way down his chest betrayed him a little bit. But Chishiya wouldn’t know that because he wasn’t looking at Niragi, so it was okay. “I mean.. If you want it to..?”
Chishiya noticed how nervous Niragi sounded and lifted his head to look at him (so much for him not seeing the blush..). Chishiya’s eyes found Niragi’s, and he smiled. “I do want it to mean that.” Niragi’s smile widened when he heard that, and he kissed Chishiya again, incredibly soft. “Okay. Me too.”
Chishiya relaxed further into Niragis arms and smiled lazily. He had hoped the other would say that - now that he’d finally admitted what he felt for Niragi out loud he felt incredibly happy. Being rejected now would have shattered his heart into a million tiny pieces.
“Good. Because if you had said no I would’ve cried.”
