AixSyo- Truth or Dare Part 2

"Whoa, wait, time out! Is no one really confused about what just happened?!" Ittoki exclaimed, "Is something wrong, Ittoki-kun?" Natsuki asked, "Yeah, what, do you have something against homosexuals, dude?" Ranmaru remarked. "No, not at all, I'm just confused about Ai and Syo, like, that was kind of out of nowhere." the red-head replied. "Well, I thought it was only a matter of time until those two finally did something." Reiji said, "Same, Ochibi-chan had a lot of sexual tension built up around Ai." Ren added, Masato crossed his arms, "Ai-san isn't particularly innocent in that area either, as we just saw, he practically pounced Kurusu."

Cecil brought a thoughtful finger to his lip, "I always thought it was a little weird that Syo acted extra tsundere around Ai-sempai.", "Syo-chan and Ai-sempai usually did indirectly flirt with each other; especially when it was just the two of them.", "I'm not sure how closely you could call constantly yelling at each other 'indirectly flirting,' but Mikaze does show a more emotive, almost softer expression when around Kurusu." Camus said. "How long do you think they've been like that?" Tokiya asked, Ranmaru scoffed, "Since the start, I'm willing to put my money on it."

Ittoki sweat-dropped, "Something tells me I was the only one who didn't know about this...", "Don't feel bad, Otoyan, it's easy to miss." Reiji said, patting Ittoki's shoulder, "Then why was I the only one who didn't know?!", "Because you're as observant as a two-month-old infant." Ranmaru teased and Ittoki stuck his tongue out at the older.

"I am kinda curious about what they're doing." Cecil said, "Truth or dare?" Masato asked, "Huh?" Natsuki asked. Ren smirked, understanding what his rival was getting at, "Dare." he answered, "I dare all of us to go check up on Ai-san and Kurusu." STARISH and Quartet Night all exchanged looks and grinned mischievously; all getting up and running out of the practice room with the enthusiasm and haste of children chasing after an ice-cream truck.

"Um, Ai, you can let go now..." Syo grumbled, trying to free his wrist from Ai's vice grip, to no avail. Ai opened the door to their shared dorm, locked it, and threw Syo onto his bed. The blonde's stomach started feeling queasy, "What did I get myself into?" he thought, "Hey, Ai, um, I'm on your side of the room and you know that old saying, 'You can never have too many fingers,' well uh, I'm gonna go before I get hurt..." Syo said, trying to make a joke of the situation, but there was something about Ai's expression telling him the cyan-haired idol wasn't going to buy into the wisecrack.

Syo could only stare at the other, "...Ai...?" and what happened next was quite possibly the biggest shock of Syo's young life. Ai hugged him. Ai hugged him! He's hugging him! Syo felt his face begin to heat up as his was pressed into the taller's shoulder, "Ai... Are you okay?" the smaller asked, voice laced with curiosity and concern, Ai didn't give an answer; or at least not a verbal one. The taller brought a hand under Syo's chin, gripping it, he tilted the boy's face upward and began lowering his own face.

The petite boy's face exploded with heat, cheeks flushing to the deepest shade of red his blood could muster, he flailed his arms out of Ai's hold and clamped his hands over the taller's mouth; eyes squeezing shut and head moving off to the side. "Ai?! W-w-what are you doing?!?" Syo exclaimed, thoroughly embarrassed, Ai's eyebrows knit together in frustration, he took his hand away from Syo's chin and moved the hand away from Syo's chin and moved the hands that were covering his mouth, "I was trying to kiss you obviously." the taller replied.

The blonde's cheeks inflamed further, "Yeah, I kinda noticed! But... Why...?" Ai only stoically blinked, "Typically people want to kiss the person they like." the cyan-haired deadpanned. Syo pouted in annoyance, "Yeah, I know that. But that's what is confusing me, since when did you like me?" and now it was Ai's turn to blush, cheeks tinting red, "Well, um... I..." Syo was completely mesmerized and baffled at the sight of a flustered and stammering Ai; the boy couldn't help thinking that his sempai was cute.

"Cute...? Did I seriously just think Ai was... Cute?" Syo thought, feeling more embarrassed than he already was, "I guess from around the time we met..." Ai mumbled, "Huh?" Syo asked, "I guess since then, I've only noticed a few months ago, although." Syo gulped, he couldn't believe it; Ai liked him. Liked him. Since first sight practically. Syo had only heard about stuff like that from shoujo manga; not that he read any.

"What about you?" Ai suddenly asked, "What... What do you mean, 'what about me'?", "You didn't exactly push away when I kissed you the first time, that must mean you like me somewhat." Ai explained, Syo's mouth fell agape in shock, embarrassment, and amaze, his face heating up more, "Uh... Um well, you know... Uh..." Syo coughed awkwardly, as if trying to clear his throat, "I guess I don't dislike you..." Ai grinned ever so slightly and Syo couldn't help but feel his heart flutter at the sight. "But... It's a bit of a stretch to say I like you... Wah!" Syo yelped, feeling large hands grip his waist, lifting him up slightly before plopping him down on Ai's thighs.

Syo began to fume profusely, trying to squirm his way out of the arms snug around his waist, his fidgeting only stopping when Ai placed their foreheads together; making the blonde's already hot face feel like it was about to catch on fire. "How about you try to say that again... And this time, be honest." Ai said, breath wisping onto Syo's lips, making the boy flinch slightly. The smaller bit his bottom lip and closed his eyes, unable to bring himself to talk, "Ne?" Ai breathed, lightly nudging his forehead into Syo's, this only made the boy clench his eyes shut tighter.

"Truth or dare?" Ai questioned, Syo opened his eyes to this, his baby-blue orbs lighting up with confusion, "Well? Truth or dare?" Ai asked again. "...Truth...", "Do you like me?"

Syo's heart couldn't beat any faster, his face couldn't get any redder, he couldn't feel any more flustered; and yet that question proved him wrong. His heart beat to a faster tempo, his face got a shade darker, and he felt the most embarrassed he felt in his entire life. With all of this going on, did Ai honestly believe Syo could actually answer such question? "Well, yes or no?" Syo just couldn't will himself to verbally answer; so he did the one thing he could do.

He nodded.

With one rise and fall of his head, he gave Ai his answer. And Ai's response was 1000% worth it.

He smiled. Smiled. No grin, no smirk, no frown, no pout, no poker-face; a smile. A smile. And Syo thought he never saw anything more beautiful. "I'm glad to hear that..." Ai said, and with that, he kissed Syo. He kissed him in earnest, his tongue immediately slipping into the smaller's mouth without hesitation; unable to wait to taste the sweetness it had been craving. And Syo was no different, his own slick appendage entangling itself along Ai's, eagerly getting a taste for itself.

Syo's mouth was even sweeter than it had during their initial kiss, a million times better, and it was all Ai's. Perhaps that satisfaction made it taste even better, but regardless, it was Ai's; nobody else. Syo's hands found their way into Ai's long, azure locks, fingers clasping down on his scalp as pleasured moans escaped his tantalizing mouth, making Ai plunge deeper on the muscle and cavern.

"Mmm... Mmmn... Mm! Ai... Ai!" Syo cried half coherently, Ai moved his mouth away, kissing the corner of Syo's mouth, then his chin, then his jaw, then the sliver of skin that connected his ear to his temple, and then latched his mouth on the side of Syo's neck, giving a hard suck, a short nibble, and then licked the reddening skin. "Ah... Ai..." Syo gasped, "Yes, my cute little kohai?" Ai mused, lightly kissing the abused skin of Syo's neck. "I... I lo... I love... I love you..."

Ai looked up at Syo, "Really?" Syo nodded his head vigorously, "Daisuki..." Ai smiled once more and placed a chaste kiss to the boy's lips. With the room now quiet, the two could now hear the sound of shuffling clothes and feet.

"Sh! Be quiet or they'll hear us!"

"You're the one who's being loud, Otoyan!"

"Reiji, quiet, I can't hear!"

"They aren't making sounds, do you think they heard us?"

"Should we run while we have the chance?"

But their plan was cut short by Ai unlocking the door and pulling it open, causing the nine idols to plummet forward into a pile in the doorway. The group of young men all looked up to see a stoic Ai with his arms crossed, and a red, aggravated Syo. "Uh... Hey guys, how's it going?" Ittoki mused, trying to make light of the situation. Syo cracked his knuckles, "I'll give you all three seconds to run." he said, murderously and the nine idols all ran for their lives while the small blonde chased after them in hot pursuit. All Ai could do was sigh in exasperation, "I need better friends..."
