Hiro was kinda stupid.
Not in the sense that he was ignorant, because if he put his mind to it he was actually pretty smart. The man lacked common sense. So, in turn, he was a little stupid.
If Daiya didn't find everything about him attractive and wonderful, he would grab him by the collar, shake him around, and call him such.
See the thing was, Daiya flirted. A lot .
It got him out of trouble more times than he could count, and he often had fun seeing the reactions of the people he flirted with. Oftentimes he flirted with women despite his lack of interest in them, but he also managed to flirt his way out of troubling situations with men too.
Long story short, Daiya had a superpower and it was flirting.
Just so happened that Yasuhuro Hagakure was completely oblivious to it. The worst part?
Hiro was the only one who managed to out-flirt him and it was by COMPLETE ACCIDENT .
Daiya had tried pickup lines, he tried being subtle, being obvious, every trick in the book and his best friend just wasn't getting it. In fact, Hiro would shoot something back that made his heart race and his cheeks glow.
It was infuriating!!
“Big Cat you've been zoning out again, are you okay?”
“Wha-huh?” Daiya looked over, having been leaning on his palm, “Yeah, yeah sorry I was just- got a little distracted there. What’s up?”
“I was trying to show you my new tarot deck dude!! C’mon, pay attention a little better.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m lookin’ I’m lookin, don’t get your panties in a twist Ro,” Daiya snickered and leaned back, throwing his legs up on the table with ease. “Show me what you got man,”
They went back and forth, light and playful banter as he showed each and every card to him. The art on each card was truly beautiful, and Daiya admired every one. Then an idea came to mind.
“Y’know, these cards sure are good looking,” He shot a wink his way and leaned in further, “But not as good lookin’ as you.”
Hiro blinked a few times. Then he grinned, pulling out a totally different card he had originally hid in the deck for a joke. An uno reverse.
“Nuh uh!! You’re better lookin’ Big Cat!! In fact, if you were a tarot card, I’m sure you’d be the prettiest one out there!!”
That got his heart skipping, choking on his words as he leaned back and threw his feet off the table. Daiya cleared his throat and lightly pulled on his tank top, as if he was a bit heated.
“Haha.. ha, h-hey, uh, it warm in here or just me?”
“Probably you,” He didn’t look up from his cards, spreading them out to look at them more, “You’re pretty hot anyway!!”
Another blow, making his cheeks get a deep red. Daiya scoffed, crossing his arms this time and tilting his head to the side to see what he was really doing.
“Oh quit that, you’re just sayin’ shit at this point,”
“I mean it !! You’re hot!!”
“Well, at least look at me when you say that kinda crap!!”
Daiya wasn't expecting Hiro to actually look up at him. He stacked his cards carefully and set them aside for later, scooting his chair in closer. Hiro reached forward and uncrossed his arms, placing his hands on Daiya’s tensed biceps and with the biggest smile said it.
“You’re hot!!”
NO no no!! This wasn't how anything was supposed to go!! Daiya felt his resolve slipping, his face a deep red and warmer than summer. He was supposed to be the master at flirting, not this idiot!! Not someone who failed highschool at least 3 times!!
Not someone who was way too hot for their own good!!
“Big cat? Everything alright? You got really quiet for a second there!”
“I’m fine,” And fuck he hated the way his voice shook and even cracked, “I’m just fine Hiro. I need to uh- use the bathroom, but grab your other stuff to show me when I’m done okay?”
“Hell yeah!!”
With that, Hiro pulled away and began digging through his bag to bring out everything else.
While he was turned away, Daiya stumbled away to the bathroom and shut the door as quietly as he could. Once he was sure Hiro couldn't hear him, he punched the air in a combination of flustered frustration. Dammit!! Dammit Dammit dammit !!
Fuck, he was just too cute and that was unfair !!
Daiya had never once had to deal with someone so oblivious to his charm, much less anyone who could fluster him back!! This was a problem. If Hiro continued to flirt like that, his heart wouldn't be able to take it.
He’d been complimented plenty of times before but the moment Hiro did it, he just stopped fucking functioning and it wasn’t fair.
“Stupid flirting, stupid cute Yasuhiro, stupid everything,” He grumbled to himself, splashing some water on his face and taking a few deep breaths.
Okay.
Okay, he got this. He could do this. It was just one slip up, he wouldn't let it happen again. He let Hiro’s cuteness get to him that last time but not again. Focus on the task at hand.
As Daiya opened the door to Hiro’s dorm, he turned around and beamed.
Fuck.
His heart was not going to survive this hangout session.
