It was on a more or less regular day for Shinoa Squad + Mika, and honestly Shinoa didn't expect her little quips and arguments at Yuu to go that far. They were using an abandoned apartment complex as a place to crash for a little while, and they were in what they had nicknamed "the home apartment." Basically it was their form of a common room. It was also where they stored all the food.
As per usual, Shinoa had gotten ready and looked absolutely put together early on in the morning. She woke up her girlfriend, Mitsu, with a kiss that was a little too chaste for her liking, but it did the job. "Good morning, beautiful," The lavender haired girl said with a slight lilt to her voice. The blonde girl groaned and protested the idea of getting up, but after a bit if convincing she was grumbling, pulling on her clothes, and demanding breakfast.
The two girls headed to the common room of sorts (as that was where they would find breakfast) and Shinoa desperately tried to impress Mitsu by cooking a fabulous breakfast. She failed, and pouted. Kimizuki was the one who ended up making a breakfast for everyone, though Mika and Yuu had yet to show their faces that morning. Shinoa sighed just at the thought of the two boys. A train wreck, that's what they were.
Why? Because it was so heartbreakingly obvious that Mika loved Yuu and Yuu loved Mika. Not in a platonic way either, full out romantic love. But that was it. All they would do was stare at the other boy when they thought that no one was looking with this wistful look or loving face, and it was just so obvious that Shinoa honestly wanted to slap the two idiots. Why couldn't they just confess to each other? After all, Shinoa had confessed to Mitsu and that had turned out fine.
When Yuu arrived in the kitchen, his clothes were sloppy and his eyes had slight purple rings underneath them. "Stay up late?" Shinoa innocently asked, making sure the innuendo was clear. Yuu didn't blush or anything like that, however, he just lightly smiled and shrugged. That made Shinoa want to frown, one of the best versions of Yuu was flustered and/or confused Yuu.
"Yeah, something like that," Yuu said, grabbing some breakfast and coffee. Shinoa huffed, obviously her little jab at Yuu had gone unnoticed by the ravenette. It was a shame, really, how oblivious he was. So many clever little remarks were lost on him. Oh, and he was too oblivious to see Mika was in love with him. Really, Shinoa thought, the was just a lost cause in general. Still, she knew she would try to get him and Mika together any way, for the sake of their happiness (and for the sake of not having to witness such blatant pining anymore).
Oh, the things she would do for her friends.
She sighed, and tried again to make him face his own feelings in a sort of roundabout way. "And what could you have possibly stayed up doing?" She said, wording it carefully. From across the kitchen, Mitsu chimed in on the conversation.
"He wouldn't have been the one doing anything, Shinoa, more like the other way around." Shinoa laughed her airy, teasing laugh and agreed.
"You're right! Yuu could never top."
Yuu looked at them with a hurt expression. "Excuse you, I would top anyone." He crossed his arms, looking annoyed at them. It was understandable, after all, he had just been trying to have breakfast and now they wouldn't stop calling him a bottom. The only upside was that Shinoa hadn't called him that annoying nickname quite yet. He absolutely hated it when she did.
"Well it's too bad you don't have proof of you topping anyone, as you're a fucking cherry boy." Shinoa looked smug when Yuu's head snapped up and he fixed her with his best glare. He was so done with her calling him that. The squad didn't notice, but a second later Mika silently entered. He looked just as neat as he always did, and he smiled at the scene before him.
"Stop calling me that! You're a fucking awful friend, Shinoa." Yuu pouted angrily, going as far as to be extra aggressive when eating his next bite of food. Mika stifled a laugh, but Shinoa didn't. She let the sound if her amusement fill the apartment / common room.
"Calling you what? A cherry boy? Well you are." Yuu glared at her again, and Mika decided that was his queue. He walked up to be standing behind the sitting form of Yuu, and took one of Yuu's raven locks in between his fingers, putting his other hand on Yuu's shoulder. He smirked at Shinoa, none of his usual withdrawnness on display. Instead, he seemed utterly in his element.
"M-Mika!" Yuu exclaimed, not showing any shyness towards the motions that Mika was performing. "You came in later than me, I thought you were gonna stay in bed forever." Yuu's previous glare that he had was now replaced with a large, beaming smile. Shinoa wanted to slap some sense into the two boys. Mika was being so tender to Yuu and vice versa, couldn't they fucking tell?
Shinoa put that thought a hold, however. Mika was a little shit sometimes, maybe she could get him flustered and be mischievous to Yuu all in one. "Mika, isn't Yuu a cherry boy?" She asked innocently. Yuu turned to her, glaring at the lavender haired girl once again. Mitsu snorted, and Kimizuki sighed as he was getting tired of this conversation. Yoichi was just turning red whenever the term cherry boy was used.
Shinoa expected certain things. She had expected Mika to get a little bit flustered, maybe blush just a little bit. She expected Yuu toprotest a little bit, and then Mika would laugh. Then, Mika would call Yuu a cherry boy or come up with some clever way of saying that like Shinoa knew he could. She expected to cause just a little bit more sexual tension between them, and maybe they'd finally get it through their heads that they were in love with each other.
That wasn't what happened.
"Oh Shinoa," Mika practically fucking purred, "trust me. Yuu isn't a virgin, I would know." And with that, the hand of Mika's that was on Yuu's shoulder reached up and gently traced Yuu's cheek, brushing lightly over the ravenette's lips. Mika gave Yuu an expression with a raised eyebrow and eyes that said much more than Mika verbally ever could have said. Then, Mika released Yuu's lock of hair and went over to the window, gazing out at the ruined world.
Meanwhile, Shinoa spluttered. Dots connected in her head. She remembered some times when Mika had whispered things into Yuu's ear and Yuu had blushed. She had thought they were so stupid for not just admitting it, like Yuu just blushed but what if . . . What if they were already far ahead of her in that respect? She thought of times when she found them in weird positions, laughing, and had wanted to slap them for not just kissing already. But maybe that was a line crossed long, long ago.
She spluttered out words. Finally, "You two are together?!" Mika turned away from the window with a more or less surprised expression on his face.
"Um, yes? Shinoa, you've literally seen us shirtless and about to be much more several times due to your tendency to just barge in, I think you've even seen us kiss a few times. It's not like we've been hiding it either." Yuu nodded.
"Um, I just thought this while time you two were too stupid to realize you were in love with each other!" Shinoa said, eyes still wide. Mitsu nodded, and so did Yoichi and Kimizuki.
"Me too."
"Same here."
"Yeah that's what we all thought."
"You guys have probably only gone to like, first base though, right?" Shinoa asked, still wanting to be right about calling Yuu a cherry boy. "In fact, this is probably your confession to each other. No way are you very far, if you're even anywhere at all. I refuse to believe it." Mitsu and the others agreed again.
Yuu blinked at them. Mika sighed. "Yuu, come over here a second." Yuu got out of his chair and walked over to Mika by the window. When Yuu was near, Mika grabbed Yuu's wrist and dipped him, dance style, and leaned down to kiss Yuu passionately. Not g-rated. Shinoa could very clearly see tongue, and Yuu made a sound that made it seem like he was on a fucking aphrodisiac. Yuu's hands wandered up Mika's chest and weaved their way into his hair, pulling ever so slightly. Mika's hand went down to rest on Yuu's ass, and he very visibly squeezed it in front of everyone. They separated, and Mika wiped away the string of saliva that connected them.
"You taste like coffee, gross." Mika complained, and then turned to the others. His arm was slung around Yuu's waist, and it was clear to see he was still casually resting his hand on Yuu's ass. "There you go. You believe it now?" Mika still seemed totally collected, maybe a little bit more rumpled than he had been before, but not Yuu. Yuu was standing there with his eyes still a little hooded, an arm still around Mika. For support or just to keep contact, it was hard to really tell.
A moment of silence. Then, a question from Shinoa.
"Does Yuu top?"
Yuu's face turned one hundred shades of red and Mika looked at Shinoa like she was saying gravity wasn't real or that she had always really enjoyed smelling fish. Like a 'are you mentally destitute?' kind of look.
"Of course not."
