Part 2 to this
Ship: Kadota Kyohei / Rokujo Chikage
Fandom: DRRR
AO3 | FF
Summary: Kadota keeps avoiding Chikage, much to his own chagrin.
Kyohei Kadota isn’t a man of cowardice, not usually.
But there are rare instances that make the man known for his steadfast and upfront nature shake in his shoes and hide behind his thick, knit cap in embarrassment.
And apparently one of those instances is kissing his friend, the leader of a biker gang.
For the first few days after ditching Chikage at the park, he hadn’t seen the other. He had taken a long route to avoid the biker when he fled, and if he got the smallest glimpse of Chikage, he’d beeline it. He even once tried to bail from the van while on the highway because he thought he saw the other (turns out, he didn’t, and the gang didn’t let him get out anyway.)
So maybe he was just hiding.
He knew he was better than hiding away, he knew it wrong of him to do.
But he just. Kept running.
What a hypocrite.
Why did he keep running?
Well, he knew why, but…. Why?
He knew that, too, but it felt better to question himself, and then not answer his own damn questions….
...No it didn’t.
It didn’t at all.
He’s not supposed to hide and dodge and avoid…
He, of all people, isn’t supposed to run.
But it’s not like his legs moved on their own.
New Year’s Eve.
Himself, the people that made up “the van gang” and some others were having a small new year's celebration at Russia Sushi.
Kadota, however, was stuck on Chikage.
Chikage’s smile right beforehand, the shocked expression when Kadota had caught a glimpse of the other mid-kiss, and how, when he parted and turned away, Chikage looked baffled as to what had happened.
How he just left the other there.
If anyone asked him (and please no one ask him), he would, though reluctant, say he didn’t regret kissing the other.
He quite enjoyed the feel of Chikage’s lips on his. Not that he really has much to compare to, but nonetheless.
‘The feel of him…. What a weird way to put that…’
But that was the truth of it. He had enjoyed kissing the other male.
Which, in itself, is horribly wrong, isn’t it? Ah, and in public too….
‘The hell was I thinking…’
‘You love him.’
‘Great, ok, thanks and now he might hate me. Even more for running away…’
Maybe if he could stop thinking for two whole minutes he’d have some peace
He should text the other…. But he was probably at a party of his own, huh? Well…. If he messaged Chikage, he could look at it later, right? They could talk in the coming days, explain himself, work things out, apologize and he would never have to face the other ever again. Ever.
‘Coward.’
‘I get it!’
“Dotachin, you’ve been staring at Rocchi’s contact for 5 minutes now.”
“Speaking to yourself for a while too.”
“Dude are you ok?”
Erika, Walker, and Saburo had been looking at their friend, worried about him for the past few days, but even more now, from his stillness and how detached he was from the party
Kadota visibly jumped, smacking one of them.
“Ow—!”
He hit Togusa, it seemed.
“Ah um….”
“Obviously he’s trying to ask Rocchi to come over here and grab him and whisk him into the night so they can—”
“Karisawa please.”
While that wasn’t exactly it… he almost wished he had such courage to do that.
“Anyway there’s no need to text me if I’m right here, yeah?”
Kadota nearly shrieked at the sound of the voice.
At the very least, he jumped up and stepped on Togusa’s foot (who, in turn, yelped himself).
“Oi Kadota-no-danna. Long time no see.”
Oh, he was angry.
Oh, he was pissed off.
The gang knew it from the sound of his voice but Kadota knew from the look in his eye (though the other’s voice added enough effect to make him feel a chill down his spine and for his stomach to drop) .
It was Karisawa that chirped up.
“Hey, Rocchi! What are you doin’ here in Ikebukuro? I would have thought you’d be in Saitama.”
“Well I didn’t wanna leave all the sweet girls in Ikebukuro without their New Year's’ kiss. That’d be a tragedy, wouldn’t you agree? Anyway, I had to find someone.”
Was it too late to run? If he tried Chikage would surely, without a doubt, catch him. But if he could just get himself hit by a car again…
“Kadota would you uh— Step out with me for a few minutes”
Walker had to cover Erika’s mouth to keep her from squealing audibly. He could find some solace in the fact that Chikage had his eyes trained on Kyohei, and didn’t pay attention to Erika’s muffled voice saying that ‘Rocchi and Dotachin are gonna kiss!’. If only she knew…. And boy was he glad she doesn’t.
Chikage grabbed Kadota’s jacket right under the collar and dragged him out of the restaurant (Erika’s screaming somehow got louder, but Kadota wasn't focused on that).
Dragged outside and off to the side where no one else could see him Chikage let go, and could only glare at Kadota, while Kadota tried to, but couldn’t exactly, keep eye contact. There wasn’t much to say, after all, considering….
“I don’t know where to start with you! How could you just— You just bailed?! Wouldn’t answer my texts, pick up my calls?! You ran from me! After you— You!!!”
Chikage snarled and made a low grumble, his eyes never leaving the other.
“How could you just— how could you just leave.” he grabbed the other by the collar again, and Kadota looked at the other with a pained expression. He didn’t realize that the other was in such turmoil over something like a kiss. But, well, it was out of the blue and from him, another guy, so... but even still… Chikage didn’t seem the type to be phased by anything.
“You, of all people, running away…. Didn’t think you were the type…” he muttered. “Just gonna leave me hanging again, are you?”
“I was tryina let you finish.”
“Didn’t let me even start at the park.”
He stood up straight, though he didn’t pry the other off.
“Yeah, well you have the right to yell at me, and the right to get everything off your chest…. I’m not gonna defend myself, Chikage. What I did was shitty, I know.”
“No shit—”
“But I…. I got scared… I got scared and I panicked and I bolted….”
“Hmm.” Eyes narrowed, but his grip loosened
“I ended up realizing that I hurt you, and more than that I was scared you hated me for this… And I was too scared to face you and see the consequences of my actions…. I’m sorry.”
“Hn…. do you really regret it…?”
“Running? Of course.”
“No I mean the kiss— Did you regret that”
“Ah….”
“If you did, just say so, and we—”
“I didn’t”
“What.”
“I don’t regret kissing you…. Maybe without asking or at least a second of warning, yeah, but… I don’t regret trying…”
“....And here you had me thinking I was a bad kisser—” Chikage entirely let go of the other, and laughed bitterly while he held his head.
“Ah…..?”
“Kadota you are an actual idiot.”
“Listen I get that but what do you mean.”
“I mean that you’re an idiot, a cute one, but an idiot all the same. I’m your friend, please have more faith in me to not hate you for something like a kiss.”
“I ‘unno man, you never know... To be honest, I don’t actually know you very well”
“Would you like to change that? “
“Are you asking me out?”
“You tell me.” Chikage grinned, grabbed Kadota by his jacket and yanked him to kiss him, grin widening as he held the other down. Kadota’s face flushed, and before he could gather himself, Chikage let go, grin somehow wider. “I’d run but I’d rather hear your answer.”
“Rude…” Kadota, however, gave a sly grin himself. “It’s a date, text me when.”
“You got it~” Chikage laughs, and as Kadota steps forward to go back to his friends, Chikage slings an arm over Kadota’s shoulders. “Mind if i hang out for a while longer, I ran over here mid-party, and it’d be a damn shame if I left another one now.”
“How’d you even know where I was in the first place.”
“Eri-chan texted me~ Said you were staring at my name so lovingly that you got distracted from texting me, and who can blame you—”
Kyo always. Chikage likes sleeping how does Kadota wake up so early… Chikage can if it comes to work and school but like… Kadota does this on his own…. why…. how….
Who’s the one to make breakfast:
Alternating. Though since kyo is up first he tends to get started on it, figuring if he can make himself something to eat, then he can throw something together for Chikage
Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed:
Chikage wants breakfast in bed but kyo usually won’t give it to him
Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work:
Chikage! I don’t think Kyo is really that sexual s o. Chikage suggests but Kadota doesn’t usually give in to it–
Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day:
Chikage tends to be like that, and then kyo reminds him of the bills. Chikage lets it go. But rarely, Kyo will give in. He’s freelance and people are usually understanding to him, he works hard so if he skips one day they won’t kill him.
Who chooses the movies:
They choose together, usually. Chikage’s seen a lot of movies already and maybe avoid ones that were books first.
Who initiates kissing during the moving, thus distracting the other from the movie all together:
Chikage
Who orders lunch:
Split the task, honestly? Like neither of them have a problem ordering, so they don’t care. I imagine they know each other’s orders pretty well
Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking:
Chikage
Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy:
Chikage likes snuggling up but Kyo’ll lay his head in Chikage’s lap too
Who distracts the other from trying to work at home:
Chikage’s distracting for sure--
Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old:
Chikage.... so many of these have started with him but it’s true
Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream:
Still chikage. He thinks kadota can be really cute you stop that-
Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face:
Chikage for sure, Kyo is red
Who cooks dinner:
Switch off! Maybe chikage since kyo makes breakfast
Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards:
They help each other (”so help me god...” -Kadota)
Who stays up until 2 reading:
This isn’t changing it’s still kyo. Put the man to rest Chikage wonders how much this guy actually sleeps how does he function (an impressive guy....)
