#makeout sessions

Shuichi stood under a palm tree close to the water at Nirai Beach, looking down at his watch.

What’s taking Kokichi so long, he asked himself.

The 79th class had gone on a field trip to Okinawa for the summer. The trip had been interesting so far, but Kokichi insisted that they weren’t getting to spend a lot of time together. So, after a lot of convincing and a little bit of temptation, Shuichi decided to give in and sneak away from the group with Kokichi so that they could have a date on the beach. Ditching the group was something that a goody-two-shoe like Shuichi wouldn’t ever dream of doing, but with him being wrapped around Kokichi’s finger as much as he was, he wound up doing the craziest of things sometimes.

A warm breeze tickled his skin as he looked out at the ocean, the pristine water sparkling like rare gems. He could taste the salt in the air as a familiar voice was carried along the wind.

“Shuu-chan!”

Shuichi looked over and immediately, his cheeks flushed red.

Kokichi had pulled his hair back into a small ponytail, a pair of gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses perched atop his head. He wore a sleeveless white hoodie that was unzipped to reveal his bare chest along with a pair of checkered swim trunks and black sandals. A seashell anklet was tied around his left ankle and a dog tag necklace dangled from his neck.

His eyes traveled along Kokichi’s bare chest, swallowing as Kokichi approached him.

“Hi, my beloved! Did I keep you waiting?” he asked.

“Huh? Ah...” Shuichi blinked his eyes, redirecting his gaze to meet Kokichi’s. “No, I wasn’t waiting long...” he trailed off.

“Hm, are you sure? You know how I’m not fond of liars, Shuu-chan.” Kokichi said.

“I’m not lying to you, Kokichi.” Shuichi stated.

Kokichi narrowed his eyes at him, peering at him like he were trying to read in between the lines. After a couple of moments, he breathed out a sigh.

“Something tells me you’re lying, but I guess I can let you off the hook for today.” Kokichi said.

He took Shuichi’s hand in his, causing Shuichi to jump in slight surprise.

“K-Kokichi—“

“We’re on a date, aren’t we? Holding hands is essential, you know.”

“I get that...”

His heart fluttered a little as they began walking along the water, their fingers intertwined together. He prayed to whatever god that was willing to listen to him that Kokichi wouldn’t notice how sweaty his palm was (he figured that he already knew, but either chose not to say anything or was waiting for the right time to tease him about it).

It was a relatively nice day out, the sun shining above them. The waves crashing softly onto the warm sand, the warm sea breeze, and the sound of Kokichi humming put Shuichi at ease.

Maybe choosing to sneak away from the group wasn’t such a bad idea, after all.

As they walked further away from the resort they were staying at, Kokichi spotted something embedded into the sand.

“Shuu-chan, look! It’s a seashell!” he exclaimed as he began tugging Shuichi along.

“Ah! Kokichi, not so fast!” he shouted.

His words fell on deaf ears, however, as Kokichi continued to pull him along. They crouched down and Kokichi dug the seashell out of the sand.

“Look at it, Shuu-chan!” Kokichi showed him the seashell. “Doesn’t it look pretty?” he gushed.

“Yeah, it does.” Shuichi replied, running his finger along the ridges of the shell.

He looked as Kokichi found more shells nearby. He was enchanted by the way Kokichi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, his lips pulled into a smile as he picked up the seashells, examining them.

“This one has a funny shape, don’t you think?” Kokichi looked up and noticed how Shuichi’s eyes were trained on him. “Hm? Shuu-chan?” he asked.

Shuichi didn’t respond at first, still captivated by how beautiful Kokichi looked with the sun beaming down on him, making his hair gleam, his skin glow, and his eyes twinkle like amethysts.

Kokichi furrowed his brows at him.

“Heeeeey, Shuu-chan!” Kokichi tried again, waving his hand in Shuichi’s face.

Shuichi blinked, being pulled back into reality.

“Huh? What is it, Kokichi?” he asked.

Kokichi pouted.

“Geez, you weren’t even paying attention to me!” Kokichi showed Shuichi the seashell. “I was saying that this seashell has a funny shape.” he said.

“Oh...” Shuichi observed the seashell. “Yeah, it does. It’s shaped like a cat’s head.” he commented.

He watched as Kokichi continued to pick out various types of shells from the sand.

“You sure like picking seashells, don’t you?” he asked.

“Yup! It’s my favorite thing to do whenever I go to the beach.” Kokichi chirped in response.

Kokichi stood up and began to take off along the edge of the water.

“Ah! Don’t run off too far!” Shuichi called out as he stood up.

“I’m not going too far!” Kokichi called out over his shoulder.

Shuichi watched as the waves crashed onto the shore, erasing Kokichi’s footprints in the wet sand. Then, his eyes drifted to Kokichi, who had picked up a conch shell and brought it to his ear, presumably listening to the ocean.

No matter what he did, his gaze kept falling on Kokichi. Not like he was complaining, though. He could stare at Kokichi forever, watching him smile and laugh as he picked seashells and walked along the shore, the waves lapping lightly at his ankles and the sea breeze making his hair dance.

Kokichi turned, a wide smile spreading across his lips.

“Come on, Shuu-chan!” he called out.

In that moment, time seemed to stop. Everything around Kokichi seemed to glow. Kokichi’s cheeks were an adorable shade of pink and his smile was so bright that it was almost blinding. Shuichi felt his breath catch in his throat, his heart nearly skipping a beat.

He’s so...cute, he thought to himself.

His cheeks flushed red as Kokichi raced up to him.

“Come on, I saw some more down this way.” he said, grabbing for Shuichi’s wrist and pulling him along.

Shuichi let himself be pulled along as they walked further away from the resort. They passed by some palm trees as Kokichi spoke.

“Sooooo, care to tell me what you were staring so intensely at?” he asked.

“Huh?” Shuichi replied dumbly.

Was I really staring at him that intensely? Oh gosh, I really hope he didn’t realize that I was staring at him, he thought to himself.

“I asked what it was that you were staring at so intensely.” the waves lapped against their ankles. “Wait, don’t answer that just yet. I think I know what you were staring at.” Kokichi said.

He shot Shuichi a mischievous smirk over his shoulder.

“It was me you were staring at, wasn’t it?” he asked.

“Geh...!” Shuichi let out a surprised squawk.

He figured me out...!

“I’m right, aren’t I?” Kokichi asked.

Shuichi’s mouth opened and closed for a few minutes before he was finally able to speak coherently.

“What?! No! I wasn’t staring...I was just looking at something behind you...!” he exclaimed.

“Hm? Really?” Kokichi came to an abrupt stop, looking around at their surroundings. “Because there is literally nothing on this beach besides myself that looks drop dead sexy.” he stated.

Shuichi’s cheeks turned even redder as Kokichi continued.

“You should know by now, my beloved,” he proceeded to pull him in the direction of a palm tree, “that I’m not quite fond of liars.” he stated as he pinned Shuichi against the tree.

“I’m...aware of that.” Shuichi replied, his heart pounding loudly in his ears.

He swallowed as Kokichi stared at him, his eyes shining with something that he couldn’t quite put a name to.

“Then, tell me.” Kokichi’s fingers danced along the hem of Shuichi’s swim trunks. “Were you staring at me?” he asked, his voice dipping into a low whisper.

The blush proceeded to spread to Shuichi’s ears as he bit down on his bottom lip.

“...So what if I was?” he lowered his gaze to the ground. “You just look so freaking cute that I can’t help myself...” he mumbled.

An awkward silence fell over them, the only sound being the waves crashing onto the shore and some seagulls flying overhead. Then, Kokichi broke the silence as his hands moved up to cup Shuichi’s cheeks.

“Sometimes you say things that make my heart race like mad.” he said as their lips mashed together in a kiss.

Shuichi’s eyes widened in shock. Kokichi’s lips were warm and tasted of grape soda as their lips melded together.

Wait...he’s kissing me? Oh my god, why did he kiss me all of a sudden, he asked himself.

Kokichi slowly pulled away after a few minutes, pressing their foreheads together. Their breaths mingled with one another as he stared up at Shuichi.

“I’m glad we get to be alone. We wouldn’t be able to do things like kissing if we were among the others.” he whispered.

Shuichi’s heart raced as he stared at Kokichi, taking in the way his eyes sparkled, his cheeks flushed a rosy red, and his lips shining with saliva. All of it made something within Shuichi snap.

Before he realized what he was doing, he turned them around so that Kokichi was trapped against the tree. Cupping his cheeks, Shuichi pulled him back in for another kiss. Kokichi grunted against Shuichi’s lips as he kissed back just as fierce.

The world seemed to dissolve around them as they lost themselves in each other. Kokichi hooked his fingers on the hem of Shuichi’s swim trunks, pulling him closer. Their bodies pressed together as Kokichi tilted his head to deepen the kiss. A few more minutes passed before they broke away from the kiss, gasping for breath.

Shuichi’s tongue darted out to lick at his lips, the taste of grape soda lingering on them as Kokichi spoke in between pants.

“What, did I spark something in you just now?” he asked.

“And if you did?” Shuichi answered.

Kokichi smirked at that.

“I have that effect on people, especially on you, my beloved.” he slid one hand up to rest on the nape of Shuichi’s neck, pulling him back towards him. “Kiss me again.” he commanded.
