“YOO BUILDING 13!!” The loud bang of the guard room door slamming open startled Seitarou from where he was sitting at his desk. Mitsuru stood in the doorway with a wide grin on his face, giving a quick glance around and realizing Seitarou was the only one in the room. “Aww where is everyone?”
“Oh uh the supervisor went out to cha- check on the inmates.” Seitarou bit his lip catching himself before announcing that the supervisor was busy catching an inmate. “And I believe Yamato is out on the training grounds at the moment.”
“So they left you here all alone?”
“Aha I wouldn’t say that. They’re just busy. I actually prefer it when it’s quiet here anyway.” Seitarou chuckled nervously.
“Hmm I see. Well anyway, this is what I came here for!” Seitarou blinked as Mitsuru shoved a box of pocky in front of his face.
“Wh-what’s that for?”
“Because it’s pocky day of course! The lovely me is hand delivering a box of pocky to each guard from every building~ I was really hopin’ all you guys would be in here but ah oh well!”
“Oh well thank you.” Seitarou smiled and took the box that Mitsuru was still waving in front of his face. “But um don’t you only have one bo-“
“Hey, you’ve heard of the pocky game right?” Mitsuru swiftly interrupted him, dodging whatever question he was trying to ask.
“Y-yes I have, why…?”
“We should play! In the spirit of the holiday of course.” He grinned and tapped the box in Seitarou’s hand urging him to open it up.
“Eh seriously?” He gave a skeptical look, glancing between Mitsuru and the box in his hand. “Isn’t that something teenagers play in school? Don’t you think we’re a little old for that…”
“Oh come on, there’s no such thing as being too old to have fun!” Mitsuru enthusiastically snatched the box out of Seitarou’s hand and opened it up, ignoring the others' protests. Opening the package he grabbed one of the treats and waved it around in the air, “C’monnn whaddya say?”
“It’s kind of embarrassing though…” A frown pulled at Seitarou’s lips, “Is this what you’ve been doing with everyone you’ve delivered pocky too?”
For just the slightest moment Mitsuru froze in his spot before going back to his normal self, “N-nooo I just thought it’d be somethin’ fun to do with you! You get so shy I wanted to see how quickly you’d pull back~”
“I do not-!” The lightest blush dusted Seitarou’s cheeks as he stopped himself from shouting. “Fine, we can play. Just to show you I’m not as shy as you think I am.”
Mitsuru hummed and chuckled, “Of course~ You better hold your ground then.” He took a pocky stick and put one end between his lips as he leaned down to where Seitarou was sitting at his desk, stopping right in front of his face and presenting the other end of the stick to him. Since Seitarou seemed so hesitant he thought it’d be best to let him take the lead in case he wanted to back out at the last second.
To his surprise Seitarou didn’t hesitate for even a moment and took the end into his mouth. However his eyes were screwed shut and it didn’t seem like he had any intention of moving forward. Mitsuru suppressed another chuckle and took that as his cue to take the lead from there. He took a few nibbles and watched as Seitarou got the idea that he should probably move forward too. He didn’t get very far so Mitsuru continued taking his own small bites watching the way Seitarou’s eyebrows pinched together, redness spreading across his face. His entire body looked like it was shaking yet he still refused to flinch even as Mitsuru got closer to his face.
It wasn’t until their faces were mere centimeters apart, both able to feel the warmth breath from each other, that Mitsuru finally gave mercy and took one more bite before pulling away. Seitarou gasped and stared up at Mitsuru with wide blinking eyes,
“Wha-”
“Looks like you win!” Mitsuru interrupted with a grin and tossed the box back to Seitarou watching him fumble to catch it, “I didn’t expect ya to last that long, I’m impressed. If I didn’t know any better I woulda thought you wanted- nah nevermind.”
“Huh? What- what do you mean??” Despite being told he won Seitarou couldn’t stop the shakiness in his voice, watching the way Mitsuru turned and gave him a little wave as he walked out.
“Don’t let your guard down Seitarou, I’ll be asking for a rematch soon enough~” And with that he left the guard room leaving Seitarou to puzzle together his own emotions and maybe what exactly Mitsuru meant about wanting a rematch.
