Josai… likes me?
No way. He's gotta be joking or I'm just perceiving everything the wrong way. I quickly shake my head to erase any theory of Josai's feelings for me.
"Quit joking around Josai!" I state sarcastically while rolling my eyes. "I'm about to go take a shower. We still have school tomorrow, ya know?" I begin to walk out of the kitchen and down the hallway.
Josai yells out, "A shower? Without ME?" He laughs loudly as I smack my head and drag my hand down my face. Welp, ladies, and gentlemen. My best friend is a bonafide fuckboy. I turn into my room to grab some pajamas from my drawer and head to the bathroom to shower.
I lock the door and turn on the shower to a medium-hot temperature. I just love when the room steams up in a nice fog. As I shower, I can't help but think about all the things that have happened between me and Josai today. He just hasn't been acting like himself recently. He's more touchy, more playful than the last time we hung out. I guess this is his way of reassuring our friendship and making sure I know he's still here for me.
But that kiss… it just felt so surreal. His face was only inches away from mine. The whispering. The staring. I wish to call Josai my own, but his heart belongs to another.
The combination of the hot water, steamy room, and thoughts of Josai started to take a toll on my body as I showered. I began to imagine his fingertips lightly tracing against my sides as he kisses my neck from behind. I could just feel him as he places his foot between mine and guides my legs apart, almost like it was real.
My hand slides down from my chest to my stomach, inching even lower. I pause. 'Should I do this right now? Josai is literally in my front room and here I am-- Screw it. It's not like he can hear me anyway.' I allow my imagination to take over…
The water starts to feel sensitive trickling down my back. My hand reaches for my desired location while I pant to the thought of Josai gripping my waist in hunger. I let out a sigh and bite my lower lip, careful to not be too loud. Wincing in satisfaction, my gasps for breath speed up to the motion of my hand. All I can imagine is Josai connecting his passion into me, over and over again. My brows furrow and I struggle to maintain my quietness. Before I could cover my mouth, a moan escapes from my throat.
My eyes go wide. I clean off my hand and hope that Josai didn't hear me over the sound of the shower. I turn the water off and grab a towel to wrap around my waist. 'I'll just get dressed in my room. I'm sure Josai needs to shower soon.' I open the door and look down to adjust my towel tighter. Just as I begin to walk down the hallway, I look up and see Josai leaning against the wall, smirking.
"Well, well, well… Have fun?" Josai teased while raising an eyebrow. I internally die inside, but I refuse to show it. I continue walking with my head held high. Right before I turn into my room, I respond, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as I start to close my door, Josai places his elbow on it and leans against it. He mouths the words: 'I think you do' and slowly makes his way back to the bathroom.
I slam the door shut and lock it quickly. 'I cannot take this tension, Josai.' After I finish getting dressed, I unlock the door so Josai can come in after his shower. I pull out my computer and a couple of snacks to start a quick study session. Although the semester just started a week ago? Some professors don't hold back at all. All my focus is set as I read over instructions for the homework that's due later this week.
The door opens, but I keep focusing on my screen. "Hey Hiro, do you still have some of my clothes from the last time I came over?" I heard Josai ask and I pointed to the bottom drawer.
"Yeah, of course…" My voice slowly faded away as I look up to see this God amongst men. A white bath towel barely clinging from his hips. Water still slowly dripping from his chest to his abs, and even lower. His long, wet hair pulled back into a ponytail. My jaw drop and I force myself to snap out of it.
I cannot deny myself any longer. I think I'm in love.
