"Prefect."
"Hmm?"
"Could I...have a kiss?"
Yuu blinked at the bold yet sudden request.
It was hard to say exactly where it came from, considering that the person asking went by the name of Azul Ashengrotto. The very Azul Ashengrotto was all polite smiles and business dealings. There was always a little wickedness in the glint of his glasses, honeyed words simply a lure to ensnare others into his carefully crafted machinations.
So what exactly did someone like that want when he asked a question of such caliber?
Yuu looked up from what they were doing. It wasn't that important of a task in comparison to the perplexing ultimatum that they were now faced with.
"I did hear you correctly, right?" They started, taking a moment to simply look at him. Azul was always easy on the eyes, from the way those lenses framed overcast eyes to the slight tap-tap-tap of his expensive leather shoes as he walked.
Yet for once he seemed...nervous. Yuu could sense the slightest bit of tension in his brow, and his hands seemed to fidget more the longer they stared.
"You...did indeed," Azul made a show of clearing his throat, trying to fill up the now-silent room. "I was being genuine–"
Yuu couldn't help but stifle a snort at that, and they smiled as they saw Azul's frown turn into more of a pout, "I-I really was. Asking, that is."
"You're asking me," The Prefect pointed at themselves, "To kiss you," They pointed at Azul. "On the lips." The octomer looked two seconds away from absolutely bursting into flames as he nodded, and Yuu couldn't help but think that baby pink suited him.
"For what reason, senpai?" Yuu angled their body towards Azul and suddenly it dawned on them how close they were. The two-seater that Azul kept lovingly in his VIP room felt small; they really could reach out and feel the candescent warmth of on face if they wanted to.
"Does there have to be a reason?" Azul asked, taking a cautionary shuffle toward them. The way he inched forward was almost endearing; like someone forced to do something exhiliratingly frightening.
"There does," Yuu held up a finger for every reason they spoke. "If it's for a contract, I decline. If it's for blackmail, I decline. If it has to do with a business proposal, I decli–"
"I get it!" Azul's voice raised before quieting down to a quiver. "I get it. But...what if it was an experiment?"
"An experiment? You're using me as the test subject?"
"I would never fathom such a thing," Azul rubbed at the bridge of his nose. It was fun to toy with Azul every once in a while. His reactions were surprisingly honest for someone who dealt with so much deceit.
"There's a...hypothesis about myself that ive been wanting to prove," The words were carefully laid out as if rehearsed. "And this is the only method I have to prove it."
Suddenly it felt like all the puzzle pieces had jostled into place.
Oh. So that was it.
They tried to keep their face straight when they lean just a little closer, "Is it something that can be measured by heart rate?"
Confusion seeped into Azul's face ever so slightly, "Heart rate?"
"What if..." Yuu let their hand drift, settling over Azul's own gloved one. "I do this? Does it make your heart race?"
"P-Prefect, that is highly–"
"Or maybe this is better?" Their tone feigned innocence, even as they slipped their fingers into his glove. Azul flinched, though he kept his hand still as Yuu's fingers slid up his palm in a slow caress.
Azul's glove now lay abandoned in his lap, his fingers trembling where they entwined with their own, "How about now, senpai?"
The silver haired's mouth drifted open and shut like a fish out of water. It was so endearing to see Azul Ashengrotto so terribly askew. There was a blush on his face that seemed almost insistent on staying, and his breaths were coming out in small stutters that Yuu could hear in the silence of the room.
"I think we should do one more test," Yuu declared and Azul finally snapped back to attention.
He tried to tug his hand back, "N-no, isn't this enough testing?"
"Is it?" Yuu tilted their head in contemplation. "You haven't told me your findings yet. And besides," Yuu's voice dropped into a croon. "We haven't tried your method yet."
It must've been some grand feat for them to have the opportunity to see Azul so throughly speechless not once, but twice.
"Senpai," Yuu smiled lightly. "Don't you want to kiss me?"
"That's...unfair," There was a slight pout to Azul's lips even as they drifted closer.
They left a touch to his jaw, sliding a finger up and behind his ear. Their other hand tugged at Azul's bowtie, leaving him looking handsomely disheveled. Yuu felt their heart flutter at the sight. He was absolutely stunning.
Their foreheads touch, "How's your heart rate now?"
"Sevens you're killing me," A shaky laugh escaped Azul's lips, "It's beating so hard that I feel like I'm going to die."
They grinned at him, "Don't die on me now."
The first press of lips was soft. Azul's lips felt plush and almost cool against theirs as they leaned in further. Azul's body tremored as Yuu guided him backward onto the couch. There was a gasp as they tilted their head ever so slightly, letting a sigh escape their lips.
They pulled back, only to feel a hand too strong holding onto their shirt, the other clumsily finding its way to Yuu's shoulder and tugging them closer.
Yuu indulged in him, leaning in once more in a more unhurried kiss. They could feel the thud-thud-thud of Azul's heart against their own chest and they couldn't help but nip at his lip just a little. Azul let out a small surprised noise, and Yuu felt a warm buzz fill them at causing such a reaction.
When they were finally allowed to pull away, Yuu couldn't help but let their eyes wander to the part of Azul's mouth as his breaths came and went. They reached forward, tucking a strand of his hair behind his ear. Azul didn't look all there yet, staring into them in a quiet daze.
"So, have you figured it out yet?" They asked, feeling equally as breathless as Azul looked. "Do you like me?"
Azul's eyes snapped to theirs, "Wait, how did y–" He gasped, slapping a hand over his mouth. And they cheered internally at his slip up. It was nice of Azul to put an end to his own mindgames for once.
"So you do like me," Yuu exclaimed, watching as the red reapplied itself to Azul's cheeks and ears once more. "And for the record, senpai, I do like you back." Azul looked like he had a little too much to say before the door cracked open.
Floyd's head popped in, "Are you and Shrimpy done kissing yet~? Jade left the papers we needed for work." Azul backpedalled– or at least, tried to. Not that there was much room to move when they had him caged in like this.
"Ah, apologies for the interruption," Jade entered the room, not batting an eye at how Yuu took the opportunity to lie down on his boss' chest. "I told Floyd we should return later, but–"
"But me 'n Jade were curious," Floyd grinned lazily. "Hey, Azul, didja end up using the advice I gave you?"
Yuu's turned their head at that, "Advice? What advice?"
"The advice that–"
"Floyd Leech," And there it was. Azul's feared warning tone. Though its effectiveness almost fell by half from how red and blushy he looked as he used it. "One more word out of either you or Jade and I will make you do the boring stuff."
"My, to think I am also included in that," Jade said in mock sadness. "It is sad how we have helped so much but were given so little."
"'S true~ Me 'n Jade helped you a lot."
"...You both get a bonus this month," Azul mumbled defeatedly. "Now leave already. Please."
"Well since you said please," Floyd shrugged, giving Yuu a wave. "See ya, Shrimpy."
As the door clicked shut, their eyes slid over to Azul's own. Looking at them this close, they looked bluer than ever, like clear skies instead of stormy ones.
"So....which part was their plan?"
"Please don't," Azul pressed his hands against his face. "I don't think I'll be able to recover from everything if you knew."
"Hmm," Yuu turned their ear toward Azul's chest. "Then why don't we take a nap?"
"E-excuse me? But I still have work to d–"
"Today's our first day, right?" There was another sly grin on their face. "Of dating?"
Azul's heartbeat picked up in speed at their words, "Y-yes."
"So let's make this our first date as a couple," They mumbled, yawning lightly. "Let's take a nap."
"I...okay," Azul's voice sounded resigned and they felt him shift underneath them. His arms came to cradle them— an attempt at cuddling so very Azul that they couldn't help but laugh. They helped him out, nestling into his side and using their blazer as a blanket for the both of them.
Yuu secretly smiled, reminding themselves to thank the tweels for their, mm, hint prior to entering the room.
"Azul's going to make a request from me? And I should accept no matter what?"
"Yup, yup! Just be a good Shrimpy and do it~"
"It is a beneficial request for both you and Azul, so please consider it."
So you could say that Yuu knew that something would be happening this whole time. Well...what Azul doesn't know wouldn't kill him right? For now they enjoyed the feeling of Azul's hand tracing patterns into their back as they lied there together. It certainly was a first kiss to remember.
