Pretty pink lips.
That’s all Yuuta is thinking about at the moment. It’s hard to think or concentrate on anything else when Toge is right there, sitting pliant on his bed, gaming device discarded on one of the pillows as he looks up at Yuuta with purple eyes.
“Yuuta,” Toge breaks Yuuta out of his trance, beckoning him closer.
Yuuta walks into the room like a possessed man, one with no will of his own, completely at the beck and call of Toge. They’re just friends—nothing more, nothing less, just two friends who occasionally kiss, sometimes sit too close during class, when they're training the first and second years, and spend time together when class and missions allow.
Now, the kissing, well, they thought they could kiss and face no consequences, apart from catching feelings but that’s neither here nor there, the real repercussion came when Yuuta sprouted the infamous Inumaki Clan’s snake and fangs seals during a fight. He’d been able to use the technique without much effort and completely destroyed the powerful curse, leaving everyone in awe and wondering just where Yuuta had learned that technique.
So, it came to light that maybe Yuuta and Toge kissed from time to time, maybe too often, or not nearly enough, well if you ask Yuuta that is. So now, Toge has been instructed to help Yuuta learn how to use the cursed speech technique to its full intent and Yuuta will never object to that—except well, he didn’t take into account how difficult it would be to pay attention. Of course, his attention is always on Toge but it’s more fueled because he likes Toge, not so much for educational purposes.
Still, Yuuta thinks he can focus, that he can do this, but then he steps closer to the bed and Toge pats the spot beside him and looks up, smiling and eager, and just like that, all of Yuuta’s plans for playing nice are thrown out the window.
He sits down and takes a deep breath, trying to stay strong. He’s here to learn, he’s here to learn, he’s here to learn with Toge, pretty Toge, Toge with pretty cursed markings on his tongue and cheeks, Toge with pretty hair, bright purple eyes lined with thick lashes, and a smile that leaves Yuuta rendered speechless each and every time.
“Hi,” Yuuta says as he tries to keep it together, swallowing down his nerves as he smiles at Toge.
Toge smiles back at Toge, sitting crisscrossed on the bed, dressed in an oversized shirt and shorts, looking like the embodiment of comfort and everything good in the world. Even wearing this, Yuuta thinks Toge looks radiant, especially when he’s happy.
“Yuuta,” Toge says, getting Yuuta’s attention.
Toge starts explaining the extensive history behind his family’s technique and its uses. It starts off alright and Yuuta tries his best to pay attention to every word and sign Toge says and does, does his hardest to embed it to memory. But slowly, Yuuta’s eyes start drooping down to Toge’s lips. In his defense, it’s hard not to focus on Toge’s mouth, luscious, licked wet by Toge’s tongue, and inviting.
“Yuuta,” Toge gets Yuuta’s attention, cocking his head to the side as he makes sure Yuuta is paying attention to him.
“I’m listening,” Yuuta insists because they’d both agreed that this was all business, no pleasure since this session had been assigned to them by one of the teachers so Yuuta could learn. “Sorry, I got distracted.”
Toge just scoffs and playfully swats Yuuta on the arm. Yuuta smiles and grabs Toge’s hand, linking their hands together for a moment before Toge goes back to explaining.
Focus, focus, focus, Yuuta chants in his head like a mantra, nodding as Toge explains, trying his best to keep his thoughts pure and intentions good. He can do this, he’s done harder things like going abroad for almost two years, learning how to fight curses and control his power which had been a trial by fire, and losing so many people close to him.
But after a few minutes, Yuuta’s eyes flicker back down to Toge’s lips, hyper-focusing when Toge gnaws at his bottom lip and licks it to soothe it afterward. Yuuta’s attention deflates soon after like a balloon losing air at the sight.
Toge huffs and stops his explanation, moving forward to cup Yuuta’s face with his hands. “Yuuta,” Toge reprimands him, giving him a shake. He frowns, letting Yuuta know he isn’t too happy about Yuuta losing focus but grins soon after, revealing that he isn’t too upset either.
“Sorry, sorry,” Yuuta apologizes, placing a hand on Toge’s hips. “I’m listening now, I promise.” He gives Toge’s side a gentle squeeze, keeping his hand there as Toge
Toge just rolls his eyes as he leans back, laughing when Yuuta tickles his side. It gives Yuuta a nice view of Toge’s marking on his tongue and just like that, Yuuta’s attention is absorbed on Toge’s lips again. Toge’s cute lips that make up his cherub face, with enchanting cursed markings that Yuuta loves to trace with his tongue when they get a second alone or in the dead of night when they sneak out to the garden for the hell of it.
“Just one kiss and I’ll behave, I promise,” Yuuta swears, feeling himself practically squirm when Toge doesn’t protest and sits up on his knees, happily wrapping his arms around Yuuta’s neck and pulling him into a kiss.
Yuuta wraps his arms around Toge’s waist and eagerly kisses him back, happily nipping and licking at Toge’s lips. He melts onto the bed, sighing into the kiss as he pulls Toge closer and lets Toge lick into his mouth. It’s so good, Toge is such a good kisser, he’s small but dominant, always eager to lead the kiss, and push and pull Yuuta however he wants and well Yuuta lets him, would give him anything he asked for. Pretty Toge, with delicate looking hands that can toss Yuuta onto the training mats with little effort, but Yuuta doesn’t mind because he gets to toss Toge around too, gets to kiss him stupid and make his cheeks flush as he whispers words and bites at his earlobes.
And kissing Toge—fuck, it’s the best, tastes sweet, especially with the cursed markings. Yuuta likes to think they’re the reason his adrenaline starts pumping and his heart starts racing. Maybe it’s the threat of knowing Toge could send him across the room with one word or knowing Yuuta is at his mercy. Yuuta isn’t sure but he thinks he understands why people go cage shark diving and jump out of planes.
Not to mention how euphoric it feels to be close to Toge, to hold him, to put hands on him, to wrap him up and pull him in. It’s even better when Toge wraps around Yuuta and threatens to suffocate him, fuck, absolutely nothing compares. Maybe Yuuta is just a prisoner to the thrill, he isn’t sure, but he sure as hell isn’t about to put a stop to it anytime soon.
Yuuta groans into the kiss when Toge grips his hair and pulls his head back. Toge might be small but he’s a force to be reckoned with and Yuuta is more than willing to provoke the beast. It’s too good not to, especially when he gets to suck on Toge’s tongue, gets to trace it with his own, and taste every part of Toge’s mouth, all while making Toge pant and sigh. It’s bliss.
It always starts like this, sharing a kiss or two, just for fun before they’re climbing onto each other, frenzied almost as they grip onto each other’s clothes, and kiss away the worries that come with being sorcerers, it makes them feel normal, as if the worst thing that could happen to them is getting caught out past curfew.
Toge pulls away first, winded and smiling with spit-slick lips, looking awfully proud of himself.
“What are you smiling about?” Yuuta asks him, nipping at Toge’s chin.
Toge sits down properly on Yuuta’s lap and keeps one arm wrapped around Yuuta’s neck as he traces along Yuuta’s cheeks with his other hand, carefully revealing the fact that Yuuta now sports his own cursed markings.
Yuuta smiles up at him, finding himself thinking that wrapped up in Toge’s love and affection makes him feel whole, makes him ache for more of his love, and makes him feel the happiest he’s felt in a while.
“How do I look?” Yuuta asks him, laughing when Toge squishes Yuuta’s cheeks together in one hand, making Yuuta pucker his lips.
Toge grins, leaning down to kiss him again. He lets go of Yuuta’s face and traces his fingertip along Yuuta’s bottom lip, prompting him to open his mouth which Yuuta obligates almost immediately.
He doesn’t hesitate to stick his tongue out for Toge to see. He nearly jumps out of his skin when Toge leans forward and licks at Yuuta’s tongue, way too filthy for two people who are supposed to be in the middle of a lesson.
Yuuta pulls back and inhales sharply. “Oh, you’re so bad,” he teases, keeping his arms around Toge to keep him from falling. His phony scolding does nothing but makes Toge laugh. Yuuta takes the opportunity of distraction and surges forward, pulling Toge into another kiss. It manages to catch Toge by surprise because his laughter quickly morphs into a soft groan as he opens his mouth for Yuuta, happy to let Yuuta lick into his mouth and squeeze him to his heart’s delight.
“Cute,” Yuuta mumbles into the kiss, sucking Toge’s bottom lip into his mouth. “You’re so cute.” He cups the back of Toge’s nape, pulling him back in as he lays down, letting Toge fall on top of him on the bed. It’s a small bed but they don’t mind, they can make it work considering it’s not the first time they’ve done this, and it certainly won’t be the last.
Toge ends up sitting on Yuuta’s lap with his thighs braced against Yuuta’s hips. Yuuta keeps him closer with the hand on the back of his nape, placing his other hand on the back of Toge’s thigh, pulling him in as they kiss.
“Weren’t you supposed to be teaching me?” Yuuta asks him once they break away again.
Toge narrows his eyes at Yuuta as he props himself up by bracing his hands on either side of Yuuta’s head. “Kiss me,” Toge commands him and Yuuta knows he could resist the words, could probably do it without much thought but alas, he’s here to learn and wouldn’t ever dream of refusing one of Toge’s kisses, he’d have to be mental for that to happen. So, he kisses him to his heart’s content, always eager to learn especially when the instructor is so lovely and inviting.
“Oh, I see,” Yuuta sighs as Toge pulls away, looking awfully smug. “I think I get it now,” he plays along as he grins. “Let me try, now.” He narrows his eyes at Toge. “Kiss me.” He raises his eyebrows as he speaks, nearly losing it himself when he sees the way Toge’s pupils dilate.
Toge leans down, catching him in a soft kiss. It’s not nearly as intense as the kiss they shared before, more sensual than anything but somehow, it’s enough to make Yuuta gasp and his heart swell. Fuck, if he thought whatever was happening between him and Toge was platonic, then he’s a fucking liar because no one else pulls such a reaction out of him but Toge, only Toge.
It’s sweet for a second but suddenly, Toge is biting at his bottom lip, hard enough to make Yuuta jerk. Toge is all puppy eyes as Yuuta gasps, he’s quick to apologize by sucking it into his mouth, lapping at it with his tongue to soothe the burn and make a mess of saliva out of them. Oh, Yuuta definitely accepts his apology if it comes like this, he’d be a fool not to, especially when Toge keeps sucking on his tongue and playing with his hair.
They should probably get back to the lesson, they should but then, they keep throwing commands around, with Yuuta soothing Toge’s throat whenever it starts to hurt, and the kisses keep coming until they’re both left with red lips and messy hair but even then, they keep going because when have they ever been rational?
Everything about this makes Yuuta’s blood run hot, makes him feel scorched and wanting because nothing is ever enough, because he’s greedy, because he is downright gluttonous when it comes to Toge. But it’s hard not to be especially when Toge looks at him, pretty lips bitten red, purple eyes glazed over, and a devious smile painted on his face, begging for more.
“Come here,” Yuuta commands him even though Toge is already sitting in his lap. He burrows his head into Toge’s neck and sucks the skin between his teeth, lapping at it afterward with his tongue as if he’s never had a taste of Toge before. Not that Toge has any complaints, he’s too busy digging his fingers into Yuuta’s shoulder blades and gasping as if his life depends on it.
So much for a lesson on cursed speech. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow or the day after, and well—Yuuta is a student who never rests until his lesson has been learned and if Toge is a willing teacher, who is he to object?
