You and Satoru have been rivals since you could remember. After mid-term exams in middle school, you and him have been fighting over who can get the higher score in the class, which it varied from time to time.
Problem was; your mother and his mother had been friends due to planning school events together, and sometimes you'd have to tag along with your mother while Satoru was there with his mother, the two of you sitting together off to the side (either studying for the next test or scrolling on your phone) whatever it was, he still managed to piss you off.
The last test your class took, Satoru had aced it, which you came in second. He got 100 and you got 98.
But the next day, you noticed that there wasn't anyone there to enrage you; Satoru was absent for once. When your professor had called his name and no response after, he was marked absent. During your lunch period, you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. You checked your notifications and saw a text from your mother.
"Mrs.Gojo needs you to watch Satoru after school. We both have a PTA meeting."
You groaned when you read the message, simply replying with the word 'okay' and putting your phone back in your pocket, heading off to lunch.
When your last period ended, you took the bus home and changed out of your clothes from school, making your way out the front door and beginning your walk to Satoru's house, which was only a few houses down (who would've thought).
Once you made it to his front door, you knocked, Satoru's mother opening the door. She looked as if she was about to leave.
"Hi sweetheart, I really appreciate you watching over my son while I'm gone." She said before giving you a side hug.
"No worries. Just text me when you're on your way back."
"Will do! Bye, hun." She replied before making her way to her car and driving off, leaving you alone with Satoru in the house.
"Satoru?" You called out. No answer, you assumed he'd be in his room, but too bad you haven't been in his house before, meaning you'd have to go searching.
The house wasn't huge but it wasn't small either. Interior modern along with the rest of its rooms, many plants and paintings scattered. You made your way up the stairs and saw a door with a sign on it "Satoru".
You knocked on his door before opening it, seeing his disheveled appearance. "Sick, huh?"
"Don't mention it." He said with a raspy voice, signaling he had come down with a sore throat. "You don't have to stay here, just wait downstairs till my mom gets here."
"Well what if I wanna see you all pathetic?"
"Fuck off." He mumbled into his pillow, hugging it tightly as he coughed a couple times. You felt a little bad for him, seeing him sick to the point he won't show up for class (which he always showed up).
"You need medicine or did you already take some?" You asked, which he nodded, letting out a little whine after coughing again.
"Bathroom on the left. Cabinet." You nodded and made your way to the bathroom. You opened up the cabinet and grabbed the pills, making your way back to Satoru.
"You have water?" He nodded, taking the pills from your hand.
"You're being way nicer than usual." He mumbled, taking one of the pills.
He placed the bottle onto the desk and laid back down, gripping the pillow.
"Come here." He muttered.
"Just come here. Don't need a reason, do I?"
You huffed and walked over to him, sitting on the edge of the bed. "What now?"
He chuckled and pulled the blanket up higher, warming himself up. His hand stuck out from under it, close to yours.
"You don't need to act like you hate me. I see the way you look at me."
"You know what I mean. When you look me up and down when I go up to answer a question on the board, and that time you blushed when I came near you."
You froze, realizing that he noticed all your small but subtle gestures. You looked away from him, the smile on his face growing.
"Come make me feel better." He patted the spot next to him, slowly growing more bold and needy.
"Whatever." You mumbled, sitting next to him. He pulled the cover up and over the two of you, which he laid down and you sat up. His head rested on your lap, eyes closed.
"Stop acting like you hate me. I know you don't. Admit you love me."
You froze, lips parted as you didn't know what to say.
"If you just say those three words we can take the next step. Please? You don't hate me."
"I—" you uttered, taking a breath before continuing. "I love you."
Those last few words came out quiet but sweet, making his cheeks grow red. His cheek was pressed against your thigh, giving it a little kiss. "I love you too. Now quit being an asshole."
"I'm not an asshole, fuck you!"
He chuckled, coughing before taking your hand in his.
"You're gonna get me sick, jerk." You looked away from him, a frown on your face as he sat up and waited for you to turn your head.
"You're so annoying—" You said before you turned your head and he pressed his soft lips to yours, giving you a passionate kiss. His lips moving gently against yours, his hand on your cheek.
He pulled away, pressing a kiss to your nose before laying back down.
"Shut up and take care of me like you were asked to."
You grumbled and laid next to him, pulling him close to your chest. His head was laying on your chest, the softness of your breasts giving him a cushion to lay on. "Perv."
"I'm not a perv.." he mumbled, hugging your waist before his eyes closed. "Be my girlfriend..?" He muttered as you laughed, hand on his head.
"Yeah. Yeah I'll be your girlfriend."
You noticed how a smile grew on his lips, which you forced him to look up at you as you pecked his lips once more.
"Fucking dork." You mumbled, which he pinched your side, making you yelp.
Hour later, you and Satoru had fallen asleep, cuddling each other. Satoru's mother entered the room after she left her PTA meeting, seeing the two of you cuddling.
"Satoru?" She called out, which you woke up first, eyes widening.
"I-it's not what it—" Satoru woke up, which he only gripped you tighter and didn't notice his mother behind him. "Shut up and go back to sleep."
"I'll leave you two to it…" she said before closing the door as she left.
"Satoru your mom just saw us cuddling..!"
"I don't care, just hold me."
