Summary: Where Shou spots an abandon dog in a sketchy ally ditch and Hiroto curses his bad luck.
Comment: A drabble(?) i wrote. Same Shou and Hiroto from my story Black Cat but can be read alone~
As the red orange hue of the sky descended behind the night clouds, the all too busy streets of Bunkyo Tokyo continued on, for its a city that never sleeps. With loud buzzing’s of cars, bullet trains screeching away and crowds of people murmuring not so quietly between each other, it came little to no surprise that a certain brunettes moans and groans were not heard. Deep between the cities dark alleyways, two bodies pressed tightly together. Hands roaming one another, and hair tugs here and there, the two were practically invisible to the world that continued so inattentively around them. Unfortunately
Shou bit down on his lip, trying to avoid another groan from escaping his already swollen lips- to no avail, of course. His body felt fervent against Hiroto’s rough hands, grabbing freely at his now surly bruised thighs. The blonde pushed harder against the brunette’s body. Shou’s back arched, desperately trying to keep his balance. “Ah~ ha-harder, I’m-I’m so close” Shou groaned between tight lips. He heard Hiroto grunt under him “I’m doing my-my best okay…” Shou huffed, resting his sweat soaked forehead up on the wall. “So-so close… Please- just a little more, more, more- AH~!” Hiroto hissed when Shou tighten and staggered above him, his body trembling. “G-get off! This is useless; you’re going to break my neck!” Hiroto cried out, his grip on Shou’s thighs increasing, his legs spread- he didn’t want to fall over. “O-oh yeah!? I’d like to see you come up with a better solution!” Shou belted. “Well I wouldn’t have to if you never got us into this mess! And why the hell am I bottom!?”
”Oh sure! Try to guilt trip me, like that will fix anything! And it doesn’t matter whose bottom or whose top- WE WILL ALWAYS EQUAL THE SAME HEIGHT” Hiroto sighed, cursing his bad luck. How on earth did it get to this? Oh, he knew quiet well. Because no matter what happened that caused the blonde chest pains, it always ended up having to do with the brunette that was currently riding on his shoulders: Shou
** Four hours earlier, 5:00 pm**
“Hey, Shou! W-wait up” Hiroto barked, quickening this pace to keep up with the seemingly zooming brunette. After many run-ins with strangers on the crowded streets (proceeded by mumbled ‘excuse me’ and ‘I’m sorry’) the blonde was finally able to catch up to Shou. “Hey, did you not hear me? Or do you not care at all? Hello!?”
“I think this is it” Shou remarked, completely ignoring Hiroto’s rants.
“Huh? So you weren’t listening, were you” Hiroto stopped talking and looked around annoyed. When he finally took a glimpse around and soaked in his surroundings, he looked up at Shou skeptically. “Shou..”
“Hm?”
“I don’t see a book store here”
Shou giggled “Of course not, it’s just through this ally”
Hiroto quirked an eyebrow “Through this ally here?”
“Mmhmm”
“Huh”
“Yup”
“Well, tell me how the book store is okay? I’m going home”
Hiroto turned to run for it but was dragged back by lightning fast Shou.
“Oh, come on~!”
Hiroto looked up at Shou baffled. “Shou. This is probably the sketchiest ally I have ever had the misfortune to see. There is no way I am going through that okay? Bye, bye”
Shou hold didn’t budge. Hiroto sighed.
“Shou, do you know what kind of things happen in allies like these? Bad things Shou, bad things” Hiroto emphasized.
“Like what”
“Use your imagination- I’m sure that won’t be too hard for you” Hiroto whispered the last part out.
Shou rolled his eyes “Hiroto, really? An ally? No one does that anymore. Come one stop being a baby, please~” Shou used his best doe-eye look to convince the other, even being devilish enough to stick out his lower lip. Hiroto frowned and wavered for a bit. It wasn’t fair! Shou’s stupid doe eyes bore into his soul. With a few more side glances, his head dropped. Ultimately, he gave in.
The two continued on with their forced journey, Shou’s face buried in a map while dragging the blonde behind him. Hiroto shifted his eyes around, the ally already giving his bad vibes. It would be stupid Shou’s fault if they got jumped! Neglectful to his surroundings (too busy thinking of I-told-you-so speeches he could tell Shou while they were both in intensive care) he bumped into the others back.
“Shou?” The other ignored him and crouched down, walking carefully near a ditch in the ally which clearly had orange cones and DO-NOT-ENTER tape all around it.
“Hiroto, come, is-is that a dog?”
Eh?
“What- of course not Shou. Now get back, it’s dangerous over there” Seeing as he didn’t budge, the blonde was sure Shou was unconvinced.
“Ah! I think it just moved! Hiroto, give me a hand”
Hiroto watched as Shou took off his jacket and crawled closer to the edge, moving a couple of cones aside.
Wait what.
“Wait what”
“Don’t just stand there, help me”
“S-shou, are you out of your mind! There is no way in hell I’m allowing you to get into this ditch!”
“I’m not”
“Good, then get u-“
“You are”
“THE HELL I WILL!”
Shou rolled his eyes “Then what do you assume we do huh? We can’t just leave it”
Why not?
Hiroto bit his tongue back, knowing that statement would only earn him a kick from kangaroo-Shou and a week on the couch.
“Shou, I know how this work okay. You will help this dog, bring it into my home and end up growing attached to it. I think we have enough with thing 1 and thing 2 back at home”
Shou glared. “So we just leave this poor and defenseless, not to mention probably dying, dog alone?”
Hiroto looked defeated.
Ugh, why must you always do this to me!
“I guess not..”
And so, ten minutes later, Hiroto held onto Shou’s ankles as the other desperately tried to reach in
“N-not long enough!” The other struggled.
“Well that’s a first”
“Fu-further in, I need you to lower me further”
“Eh? Shou, you ran out of leg. I can’t”
“I’m so close though!” Well that was a huge lie because he wasn’t very close at all. Actually, a stick was hanging off the side of the wall and the brunette was hopping he could grab it to catch the dogs attention.
“Please, closer”
Hiroto gulped, Inching close enough so his knees were now over the edge. Shou smirked when the branch came into reach. Resting his weight on it for a bit, he sighed. See? If Hiroto put more trust in him, things would get done much fa-
*snap*
Well damn
*Back to the present*
Annoyed, Hiroto completely let go of the other, hearing Shou yelp as he fell over. “What the hell?!” Shou got up and dusted himself off "That was so unnecessary"
Hiroto's eyebrow twitched “Hey, Shou, why don’t you go check on the dog? OH WAIT, THERE NEVER WAS ONE!”
Shou groaned. It wasn’t his fault that an old rag and dog looked alike! Anyone in their right mind would have helped out if they were in the same situation!
“No Shou, that’s where you are wrong, because no one in their right mind would have stepped into an ally like this in the first place!”
Had he thought that out loud?
“Okay fine, I understand, I’m sorry okay? Sheesh”
Why don’t you take your apology and shove it up your-
“-cough- Shou, an apology isn’t going to get us out of here”
“Want to try shouting again?”
Hiroto clicked his tongue “and how did that go the first three hours you tried it before?” Shou fell over. He was all out of suggestions.
“And anyways, it’s what, nine now? Seeing as we are in a really sketchy ally- screaming would only attract unwanted attention” As soon as those words left the blondes lips, he found a doe-eyed Shou snuggled up against his side. Surprised by the sudden pressure at his side, Hiroto blinked a couple of times before wrapping his arm around the other’s shoulders, scooting him in closer. Hiroto sighed, cursing his bad luck. Still, Shou was trying very hard (even if everything that left his mouth was useless) Hiroto had to give him credit for that, unlike him who had given up after thirty minutes of shouting.
Hiroto rested his head on top of Shou’s head, spooning the brunette. Why couldn’t he stay like this all the time? Still, quiet, and cute. They stayed silent and holding each other for a good twenty minutes before they heard a group of rough voices and bottle being kicked around. Hiroto tensed.
‘ohshitohshitohshit’
Shou stood but was abruptly pulled down by a panicking blonde “What are you doing?!” He hissed quietly. “i-
“No! Be quiet! Shou if they find us bad things will happen! Remember, we've had this conversation before”
“Did you hear that?” One of the voices asked. “It’s coming from that ditch”
Hiroto’s face turned blue “Crap! It’s too late! We’ll be caught and taken to Nakasu* as slaves! Or worse, we’ll end up in someone’s yakiniku*!”
“Wha?”
“Hey you two!” A flash light was flashed down upon them.
Hiroto lost his shit.
Screaming like a teenage girl, the blonde pushed Shou forward and scrambled away from the light, as if he were a vampire and his life depended on it.
“Freeze! This is the police, put your hands up!”
Well damn
***
“Thanks officer” Hiroto mumbled sheepishly as he was offered a cup of hot coffee. "No problem. though, i have to admit, that was the highest scream i have ever heard" Hiroto blushed furiously. The two had been taken back to the jail house after a fire department had rescued and checked over them. Filling out a few papers, they were released with a warning (for messing with private property). Stepping out of his office, Hiroto spotted Shou waiting patiently in the waiting room. Scratching the back of his head, he approached the other. “Hey”
No response. Pouting, he sat next to the brunette. “Look, I’m sorry okay”
“No, no. It’s fine. Just glad to know that if we were ever going to be killed you’d let them have me”
Oh, that.
“B-but Shou! That wasn’t me! It was the fumes from the ditch messing with my head!”
“uh-huh”
“Really! I’m sorry!”
“Well, Hiroto, an apology isn’t going to get you out of sleeping on the couch for the next week” Shou mimicked Hiroto's voice from earlier
“What- Wait no Shou! Don’t be like that” Shou didn’t budge, his mind was set. And set it would stay.
Making their way out, Hiroto dragged his feet and hung his head in dismay, cursing his seemingly never ending bad luck.
Comment: I really don't know why i wrote this, i just felt like writing XD
This doesn't really tie in with black cat, other than it's the same shou and hiroto. I also said its a drabble but aren't drabbles supposed to be less that 1000 words? Anyways this was my failed attempt at crack/humor /cries (just if it isn't clear, Shou was on Hiroto's shoulders tying to reach the top so he could pull himself up)X I hate the spacing in this layout ;A:
*Nakasu: The largest red-light district in the western Japan area next to Osaka (Lots of human trafficking)
* Yakiniku: Literally means grilled meat- it's a dish of that can be made up of various grilled meat (lol, poor Hiroto)
