park the bike, wipe the sweat, what's it come to? early summer bike ride with yuuji itadori
The scorching sun was burning your shoulders in a way you knew would definitely end up read and angry at you for neglecting sunscreen. To be fair, you did put it on, but you couldn’t remember clearly if it was before leaving your apartment or after getting ice cream, both memories blending into each other.
Currently, you were sat near a tree, trying to shelter yourself from the dangerous 37º heat, as shown in a sign outside a pharmacy nearby. You had been running around all day, trying to enjoy to the absolute maximum the first day of summer after finals. Maybe you could’ve divided all the activities in different days, you think to yourself, but as soon as your thoughts began wandering away, a door chimed to mark the exit of the convenience store of someone.
As you covered your eyes with your hands, you squinted to see who it was, and the pink haired guy who just left the store began to make its way to you. Yuuji was wearing a dumb spiderman t-shirt you gifted him a couple of years ago for his birthday, combined with a pair of jorts that had some simple embroidery near the hem; the full outfit was pulled together with a pair of simple red converse and a basic black backpack that looked full to the brim.
While he was getting closer, you began to remember your side quests of the day. He first came to pick you up in the early morning to “fully take advantage of the day” as he said to you with a stupid grin (its 7 am on a Saturday, how is he even properly awake at that hour). You began to get ready, meanwhile, he explained the schedule for the day: a simple pool day to combat the heat, but not before going on a bike ride while the air still felt cool outside.
Agreeing to whatever he was saying without giving it second thought (it’s Yuuji, he always has great plans to hang out, and you could trust him to have a great time), you picked up everything you might need for the day.
Swimsuit? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Sunscreen? Check. Your everyday items? check.
Leaving your apartment, you went to get your bike ready, as he already came over riding his, and after giving it a proper review to make sure everything worked seamlessly, you two started your excursion trying to get away from the city. He was going in front of you while you were still in the actual city, but as soon as you began to see fields and flowers from the outskirts and villages nearby, he slowed down to get to your level to actually talk to you instead of filling the voyage with silence.
Despite seeing each other nearly every day, or at the very least, talking every day, the conversation flowed in a way you didn’t expect for the time of the day. Unsure where you were going, he did keep it a secret, yet he seemed a bit anxious or unsure if you were going to enjoy it as much as he did.
Riding without a care in the world, you made your way into a small forest, and you left your bikes in an opening of the trees where you could hear water running nearby. Yuuji began to guide you though the area with expertise, which made you wonder if he frequented this place, until you arrived at the place you understood he wanted you to know.
In a clearing of the forest, there was a waterfall surrounded by cherry blossoms that miraculously still had some remaining flowers, and a weeping willow that had branches that reached the floor and created openings like doors to enter under it.
You turned with a wide-eyed grin to the guy that brought you here, and he seemed to find the sky more interesting as he began to slightly blush and scratch at the nape of his neck while he began to overexplain why he had chosen that place to visit. Turns out, one day, overwhelmed with the city noise, he just left the same way you just did and found this wonderful place by mere coincidence. You gave him a quick hug that momentarily froze him on the spot and started to get near the nature filled environment.
Going and inspecting all the possible spots to hang out, you decided that under the weeping willow was ideal, as you would not get wet and get shelter from the sun, despite the fact that the clearing had a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the forest because of the waterfall. Sitting on its roots, you talked and talked for hours until your stomachs rumbled, making both of you aware of how much food is needed for the human body, and began to make your way to get your bikes and go to the pool.
On the way back, he spotted a convenience store and abruptly stopped to get both of you a snack before eating an actual meal at the restaurant near the swimming place, and that’s where you were waiting now.
After what felt like eternity, he reached you and gave you your favourite pick-me-up with a soft smile he seemed to save only for you, and he sat beside you on the shadowy part of the tree. The space was filled with comfortable silence as you ate, both lost in your own worlds, and after finishing, he wordlessly packed up the trash and got up to throw it away.
Suddenly overwhelmed with feelings, you got the urge to show him you appreciation for everything he did and was doing for you, and as he got back, you stood up and gave him a quick peck on his cheek. Turning as to not see his reaction to it, you went to get your bike, and when you were ready, you looked back at him to see how he was doing with his. The view left you stunned.
The 6 ft, totally buff, pink haired boy still stood in the same place where you kissed him, touching his check, wearing a dumbfounded look on his face as his cheeks got redder by the second. Momentarily aware of what you had just done, you began to apologize for what you did, saying it was an impulse and a way to show gratification, that you did not know what had come over you, but Yuuji interrupted you by getting closer (when did he get that close? genuinely asking) and he engulfed you in his arms as he hugged you tightly, pulling you as close as possible to him.
Confused by his response or lack thereof, you hugged him back, and as if he could sense your worry, he pulled back with a grin in his face and a newfound sparkle in his eye that made you be the one blushing at the confidence in his expression. His hands lowered from your shoulders to your waist as he complimented something stupid that was just so you that made you open you mouth in bewilderment at how did he even realise that, and watching you struggle to get a coherent response, he quickly hid his head in the gap between your shoulder an neck, returning the peck you gave him there so swiftly that it made you wonder if you had imagined it, and he pulled back just as quickly as he got near you.
Both wearing stupid similes on your faces, you actually got on your bikes, constantly looking at the other, and your ride to the swimming pool began, trying to get the most of the summer and whatever you had going on with each other.
