WIP for Half-Villain, Half-Demon, Half-Cat (HVHDHC):
“Dammit,” groans Katsuki, catching up on the situation. “No way outta this one.”
“You’re right,” Shouto lies before lowering the clouded, ice window a fraction—and, yeah, it’s their homeroom teacher, Eraser Head. Who else.
Fuck.
Everyone blinks at each other.
Shouto’s face betrays nothing. Eraser Head’s face betrays nothing. (Katsuki’s probably gives away everything.)
It’s a stand-off. Just like in Fuyumi’s TV dramas, except worse.
Fuck.
Finally, Eraser Head breaks the fragile existence where all parties could have gone back to what they were doing before the interruption. “Whatever I think was just happening,” he starts, voice a warning and threat wrapped in one, “better not have been happening.”
FUCK!
“It wasn’t,” Shouto lies again, coolly. “I’m showing Katsuki how to drive stick.”
Beneath him, Katsuki makes a strangled noise, face thumping the divot between Shouto’s neck and shoulder.
He doesn’t move his hands, arms, or Shouto (who’s still very much bent, uncomfortable, and losing sensation in the contorted legs pressed against both Katsuki and the driver’s seat). But he doesn’t interfere with the proceedings or create a diversion, so Shouto can focus solely on saving his ice car and its ice stereo from Eraser Head’s “logic.”
