Work Text:
There Taka was, sitting in one of the classes he had with Leon and Mondo, wondering how his roommates had even allowed themselves to get in the position they were in. He’d been a witness of this almost the whole day so far, and he was honestly shocked it had gone on for this long.
It all started in the morning before first period when Leon had proposed the oh so wonderful idea to have a bladder holding contest. Much to Taka’s confusion, Mondo had agreed to it.
This was certainly not the first time Taka had witnessed his roommates coming up with ideas he found stupid and then going through with them. The last one, which was Mondo’s idea, consisted of the two skateboarding in the hallways. Taka had told them not to do it because they could get in trouble or hurt themselves, but they didn’t listen. Taka’s prediction was correct as they did get in trouble for it. They both had to stay in one of the classrooms and weren’t allowed to go back to their dorm until they wrote “I will not do this again” a certain amount of times.
Of course, this did not stop them from trying other things after that. And Taka was once again, warning the two not to go through with their ideas. He was frustrated that they weren’t listening, but he had partly started to accept that was the price of being friends with Leon and Mondo; they were both stubborn as mules.
But in a way, this was the worst idea either of the two had come up with so far. Taka was always one to go to the bathroom right when he needed to, so he hated the idea of deliberately holding it for no reason other than to partake in a pointless contest. Even though he wasn’t going to be participating, he still didn’t like witnessing his friends do it.
“I don’t want you guys to get sick. How did you even think of this anyway?” Taka asked.
“I was just doing my business and I just thought to myself, I wonder if I can go longer without it than Mondo.” Leon explained.
“That’s such a weird thing to wonder about…” Taka thought out loud.
“It sure is, but a challenge is a challenge man.” Mondo said. “And you know how competitive I am, so you’re on, Leon. When are we doing this?”
“We’re doing it now.” Leon answered.
“You guys wanna do this now? But we have class!” Taka reminded them.
“So? That doesn’t mean anything, we can still do this in class.” Leon reasoned.
“Let’s do this shit man.” Mondo exclaimed.
“I can’t stop you two, can I? Well at least drink water. You two drink too much soda and not enough water.” Taka advised.
“If it’ll make you happy, doctor Ishimaru.” Leon quipped with a chuckle.
Leon went over to grab two plastic water bottles and gave one of them to Mondo. They both unscrewed the caps off of their respective bottles and started downing the liquid at the same speed.
“Okay, let’s get to our class.” Taka reminded them after all the water was gone from their bottles.
“Okay.” Leon said as he tossed his empty bottle into the small trash can in the corner of the room.

Halfway through the first class, Leon started to feel the liquid catch up to his bladder. It wasn’t the most pleasant feeling since he had gulped it down pretty fast, but it was still manageable. There was no way in hell he was about to back out of the contest this early.
Taka was able to distract himself from his concern for his friends by focusing on the worksheet that was assigned to the class. After all, he was a diligent student who always focused on the task at hand as soon as possible. But after a while, he looked over at Mondo who was sitting two seats ahead of him. Mondo was slightly jiggling his right leg up and down. It didn’t look like he was bursting, but he definitely had to pee. That’s when Taka got reminded about what was going on, making him a bit worried again.
The three of them were able to concentrate on their schoolwork for about another half hour before the ringing of the school bell radiated around the classroom and hallways, indicating that first period was over. Leon stood up to meet Mondo and Taka by the door, and he could feel his bladder jostling slightly as he did so. But it still wasn’t urgent, just a bit uncomfortable was all. He wasn’t backing down, he wasn’t going to the bathroom until Mondo did.
Though Mondo had the exact same mindset, so it wouldn’t be that easy…
“So, how are you feeling?” Leon asked once he stopped by the doorway where Mondo and Taka were standing together.
“I’ve never been better. I can fuckin’ do this for hours.” Mondo boasted.
That was a bit of a lie. He had felt better in the past of course, but he wasn’t about to show vulnerability, no way in hell. Even if it was for something as silly as this contest. Besides, he didn’t have to go that bad.
“I’m in the same boat.” Leon said.
Did he seriously just fucking say something that involved water? Mondo thought.
“You doing that on purpose?” Mondo asked.
“Doing what?” Leon asked innocently.
“Mentioning things that are related to water, punk.” Mondo answered in a faux angry tone.
“Shit, I didn’t even realize.” Leon chuckled. “But does it bother you? Can you handle it?”
“Of course I can handle it. I’m not empty, but a water mention isn’t going to set me off. I’m not weak.” Mondo defended.
“Never said you were.” Leon shot back.
Shortly after that exchange of words, the sound of school bell emitted from the speakers once again, indicating that there was only two minutes for everyone to get to their second period class before they were deemed late.
“Let’s get to class, you can continue your little man to man debate or whatever it is in class.” Taka told them.
The second period class the three boys had together wasn’t too much different from the first. They had just worked on their schoolwork while Mondo and Leon were both determined to keep their floods at bay. Taka had occasionally glanced over them during the hour long period to see how they were doing. He noticed that Leon had started to slightly squirm in his seat, but not very blatantly. But still, he of course was too hellbent on winning the challenge so he just stayed there. Mondo was the exact same way which continued to concern Taka.
The only difference was that the panging sensation in their bladders was stronger than the last class period.
Their third period class, however, was when it started to truly become a challenge. At that point, they both had been holding for about two hours after each downing a bottle of water. So naturally, they both felt pretty full and it was definitely more urgent than before.
Mondo, Leon, and Taka all had different classes for third period, so the contest would still be going on, but the two participants wouldn’t be updated on each other’s states until after class ended. However, they agreed that if someone did go to pee, they would send the other a text message.
Taka wouldn’t know how they were doing either unless he texted them, but he was too much of a rule follower to do that. Besides, just because Leon and Mondo were spontaneous didn’t mean they needed to be around a deliberate person at all times. Taka just had to remind himself of that despite being a bit anxious.
He just hoped one of them would excuse themself to the bathroom before the period ended…

It was about ten minutes into the third class of the day and Leon was seriously starting to struggle. Even more pressure had started to build up on his abdomen and it was starting to become more and more uncomfortable, and it was on the cusp of becoming painful. If he wasn’t competing with anyone, he would’ve excused himself to the bathroom right then and there.
Why did he think this was a good idea? He guessed he hadn’t needed to pee this much in quite a while so he forgot how much discomfort it really caused. Either that or he overestimated his bladder strength.
Despite starting to doubt this, the redhead was still determined to beat Mondo. He was just stubborn and competitive like that. It didn’t matter to him that he really had to go and it probably would’ve been a good idea to.
Leon started to have the urge to hold himself, but he resisted it since he found it too embarrassing. He wasn’t going to be caught doing such an action. So he settled for a more subtle method of easing the pressure, which was just jiggling his legs up and down like he was earlier. It wasn’t the most tenuous thing ever, but it didn’t give away what he needed as easily.
Leon didn’t even realize that his growing need had caused him to zone out until he felt a light tapping on his shoulder, snapping him out of his thoughts. He shook from the contact ever so slightly, but fortunately, his pants didn’t take any damage. He considered the possibility that later he might be at the point where a mere tap on the shoulder could startle him to that point, though.
He turned his head to the side to see the blue haired girl who sat next to him looking at him with concern.
“You okay?” She asked softly. “I tried to get your attention but you zoned out.”
Leon’s face flushed red with warmth. The girl who had just tried to get his attention was Sayaka, a girl he had been attracted to for a while. Her trying to get his attention for whatever reason while he was zoned out due to his need to urinate wasn’t exactly an ideal situation, but he guessed it could’ve been worse.
“Heh, I’m doing just fine…” Leon chuckled. “What were you trying to get my attention for?”
“Well, we’re doing our chemistry lab today and I was wondering if you wanted to be my partner.” Sayaka said.
Shit. He had completely forgotten about this. This meant that he was going to be dealing with liquids, multiple liquids which were only going to be a constant reminder of the ones brimming inside his bladder to make him feel all the pressure he was feeling now. He brought this on himself.
“Oh, sure.” Leon answered as casually as he possibly could.
Meanwhile, Mondo was in his history class struggling just as much, if not more than Leon. He didn’t understand why he accepted this challenge. Maybe it was because he had fun doing challenges with Leon or because he wanted to win something again, probably both. But it was coming back to bite him in the form of god knows how much liquid pressing on his bladder.
He felt another wave of desperation hit him, causing him to squeeze his thighs close together and arch forward in his seat with a strained sigh.
That was embarrassing. Please don’t tell me someone noticed. Mondo thought.
“Hey Mondo, are you doing okay?” A male voice uttered next to him.
Fuck. Mondo thought.
To his left was a short boy with fawn hair and hazel eyes to compliment it. He exchanged words with Mondo quite a bit during the class period which was otherwise dull. The fawn haired boy wasn’t one to not say anything when he felt like there was something that could be helped with someone.
“I’m doing fine, Makoto.” Mondo uttered out.
“You sure?” Makoto asked. “You look a bit tense.”
WELL I IMPULSIVELY AGREED TO A CHALLENGE WITH LEON AND NOW I REALLY GOTTA PISS. Mondo screamed inside his mind.
He almost shouted that out loud, but he got a grip on himself before he could. Sometimes he had to work on not shouting everything on his mind, and he was surprised that work had paid off in this moment. He guessed he didn’t want to show vulnerability in front of anybody just because his bladder was full.
“I’m not feeling the best, but I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Mondo answered.
Well, that wasn’t exactly a lie…
“Okay. I hope you feel better later.” Makoto advised.
He surely would feel better sooner or later, but the question was, when? How long was this going to go on for? What if this went on until he wet himself? He tried not to think about that possibility, it was too humiliating to even think about.
The only thing stopping him from going to the bathroom was his pride, but it was already a pretty big obstacle. Besides, he didn’t have to worry about wetting himself now. He was pretty full but he wasn’t on the verge of an accident.
But if he kept this going, that could change…

Leon was about half an hour into his chemistry class and he started to struggle even more. Him and Sayaka had to answer questions based on what they had observed during their experiment. Their experiment that involved fluids, which were a constant reminder of his need to pee. How was he going to be the best at this whole bladder endurance thing if he was being plagued with reminders?
The redhead really wanted to grab himself, and he would’ve done it if he was alone. But he was next to Sayaka, the girl who he considered the most beautiful. If he showed his growing need of a piss to her, he wouldn’t live it down. Mondo wouldn’t let him live it down, and he wouldn’t let himself either.
It felt like his bladder pulsed at him more and more each minute that passed by, and the fact that he was being exposed to liquid right in front of him while in this state certainly wasn’t helping his case. God, he had to pee.
Leon pulled out his cell phone and hid it under his desk. He checked his messages in hopes getting a text from Mondo saying he went to pee, but knowing how competitive he was and how little he wanted to admit weakness, he knew it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
He still wanted to give it a try, though, since his growing need made it worth a shot. But his assumption was proven correct when he realized he had no new messages.
“You’re not looking up the answers, are you?” Sayaka asked.
“No, nothing like that.” Leon clarified. “Just checking my messages.”
“Now’s not the time for that, silly.” Sayaka chuckled.
Leon could tell Sayaka wasn’t really mad at him, she was just casually teasing. But the fact that Sayaka was paying attention to Leon made him struggle even more. Because of this, he had to stay almost still while the aching in his bladder was telling him not to, that he had to move around in some way. He couldn’t squirm in front of Sayaka, what if she figured out his need? He’d find that quite embarrassing.
This was going to be a long class…
It felt even longer of a class for Mondo. He tried to make it so the class distracted him from his need, but it was the other way around. Another wave of pressure hit his lower abdomen, causing him to feel even worse than he was. He guessed that the whole bottle of water finished filtering through his body. It sure felt like it.
There was only about twenty minutes left of class, but Mondo knew it was going to feel like hours due to this. It was his own fault for agreeing to this and refusing to accept defeat. He just didn’t expect it to get to this point, he thought his bladder would be stronger than this. But he couldn’t give up, he refused to.
“Hey Mondo, are you sure you’re doing okay?” Makoto asked.
Mondo didn’t even realize how much he had been fidgeting until the voice radiating next to him had snapped it out of it.
“I’m okay, I just… gotta use the bathroom is all.” Mondo admitted.
He didn’t know why he admitted that, but it was what it was. The words were already out of his mouth.
“Oh, is that all? Why don’t you just go then?” Makoto asked. “I’m sure the teacher will let you.”
“Because…” Mondo trailed off as he gave his words a second thought. Was he going to tell Makoto about this whole thing? Did he really need to know? He would probably say the same thing as Taka.
“Why not?”
“I just can’t right now.”
“Wait, is this another challenge thing with Leon?”
…Looks like he didn’t need to say anything after all. His decision was made for him.
How the ever loving fuck did he figure that out? Mondo thought.
Despite the fact that Makoto was friends with Mondo and Leon and knew about their little challenges and even witnessed some of them a little bit, it was still surprising to Mondo how he was able to connect the dots that easily.
“Maybe.” Mondo replied bluntly.
“I know you’ve probably heard this from Taka already, but be careful. Don’t want you to get sick.” Makoto cautioned.
I’m sick of this dude fucking knowing everything. Mondo thought.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Mondo assured.
Would he be, though?

After the longest twenty minutes of both of the boy’s lives, the class period ended and it was time for lunch. Taka was already waiting for both of them at their usual table in the cafeteria.
Leon was the second to arrive at the table, and it was evident that he was struggling to sit down. He couldn’t do so without putting effort into it since he knew it would hurt if he did it too fast. He had no shame starting to squirm right then and there.
“How are you feeling?” Taka, who was sitting across from Leon asked.
“I really need to pee. But I’ll be fine.” Leon answered.
“You still haven’t peed yet?” Taka asked, even though he could already tell before Leon said anything.
“I was going to, but the teacher wouldn’t let me.” Leon lied.
“Then why don’t you go now?” Taka asked. No one is restricting you now, it’s lunchtime.”
“Uhhh…”
“Busted. You never asked if you could use the restroom. You didn’t go because you want to win the contest.”
“Damn it! Was it that obvious?”
Shortly after, Mondo had arrived at their table and sat down next to Leon with equal amount of discomfort. He shoved his hand in between himself, hoping that the table would cover up the action.
“And how are you doing?” Taka asked.
“I’m good, why do you ask?” Mondo tried to give as casual of an answer as he could, despite the fact that he had to pee really bad and it was getting worse by the minute.
“You know exactly why I ask.” Taka provoked.
“Oh, that. Well, I really gotta piss, but leave me alone.” Mondo answered in an agitated tone, especially on the last part of the sentence.
“It’s a good time to-“
“I said leave me alone.”
Taka didn’t take that too personally, since he knew the more pain Mondo was in, the more agitated he got. And because of that, he could imagine how much he really did need to pee. But he was still a bit annoyed with him.
“I need to use the restroom too. I’m going to go do that now because unlike you guys, I care about my health. You’re free to come with me if you change your mind.” Taka announced in a passive agressive manner as he left the table.
Mondo and Leon wanted nothing more in that moment than to go with Taka to the bathroom, but neither of them moved from their spot.
Instead, they just continued eating and having a conversation with each other, trying their best to pretend they weren’t each bursting for a piss. But then, out of force of habit, Leon picked up the water bottle he had gotten from the cafeteria and took a sip from it without even thinking about it. He guessed it was just a natural thing for him to do, but it certainly wasn’t a good idea at the moment.
“Shit! I shouldn’t have done that.” Leon realized.
“Nice going Leon,” Mondo began sarcastically. “Now I feel like I have to drink water in order for this to be fair.
“Now that I think about it, you do.” Leon said playfully. “Sorry.”
Mondo felt like if let anymore liquid inside his system, he would burst. But as competitive as he was, he honored the fairness of the game and he knew he had to take one more sip of water in order for that to happen. It was just a little bit, how bad could it be?
He forgot he had his hand shoved in between his nether regions until he removed it in order to take the water bottle Leon was handing to him. He hoped the redhead next to him hadn’t noticed.
Mondo immediately regretted the sip of water he had proceeded to take, even if it was small. He was anticipating the pressure in his swollen abdomen to get worse.
“Hey, I’m back.” Taka announced, snapping Mondo right out of his thoughts.
The voice belonging to Taka made his body shake ever so slightly. Not just that, the shock caused a jet of warmth to spring free.
Mondo immediately pressed his thighs against each other to cut the flow off. Oh god, he had leaked. What if this didn’t end until one of them wet themselves?
•

Mondo’s anticipation that he would feel worse was proven true by the end of the lunch period. He needed to pee so badly at this point, so why was he still keeping it in?
Once he made it to his next class and sat down, he started to fidget in his seat more than he was in the previous class periods. It was evident that something was wrong with him.
He wasn’t alone in this. Leon was sitting next to him, behaving the same way. This was the most desperate he had been in a long time. The pressure inducing liquid slammed at his walls full force, making him wince in pain. This whole thing seemed fun in the moment when he came up with it, but he never imagined that he would have to deal with this much pressure. He even thought about getting up to pee, but he couldn’t even make a decision before the bell rang and the teacher starting talking.
Taka was sitting near them as well, and he knew better than anyone how much his friends were struggling.
The teacher started going over slides that the students were required to take notes on. Taka had observed his two friends and how they were behaving for several minutes of the lesson. That’s when he realized he needed to do something about this. He didn’t know that they were going to keep it going for this long, he thought for sure one of them would’ve given up by now. But he couldn’t let either one of them embarrass themselves. He had allowed this to go on for too long.
Mondo and Leon weren’t paying attention to the lesson or taking notes. Neither of them were in any capacity to. They could tell that Taka was starting to get really concerned with how his eyes were fixated on both of them. Before they knew it, Taka’s hand shot up.
“What are you doing?” Mondo asked, but was ultimately ignored.
“Yes, Ishimaru?” The teacher called on him.
“May Kuwata, Owada, and I please go to the restroom?” Taka asked.
“All three of you at once?” The teacher questioned.
“Yes, sensei. It’s rather urgent. We’ll come right back.” Taka answered.
“I’m iffy about letting multiple students out at once, but since I trust you Ishimaru, you all can go ahead. Just don’t make this a regular thing, especially since you just had a break.” The teacher responded.
“We won’t, thank you.” Taka replied.
Taka stood up from his seat and walked over to Mondo. He took his hand and helped him up out of his seat and proceeded to do the same for Leon.
“Come on, guys.” Taka said.
Taka started leading the way to the nearest boy’s bathroom in the hallway, Mondo and Leon following suit behind him until they got inside.
“This has gone on for too long.” Taka cut to the chase. “If you go any further you’ll hurt yourselves. I’ve decided it’s a tie. Now go.”
“But-“ Mondo started to protest.
“I said it’s a tie.” Taka sternly interrupted. “Now go, you both clearly need it bad.”
“You’re right. I do need to go really bad.” Leon admitted and then faced Mondo. “I didn’t wanna tell you this, but I don’t think I can hold it anymore. What about you?”
“I can’t either. I’m filled to the fuckin’ brim, man.” Mondo said.
“Let’s tie then.”
“Deal.”
Leon scrambled to one of the urinals and got himself ready to aim at it. Meanwhile, Taka was still standing inside the bathroom, facing away from the urinals.
“Do you really have to stand in here with us?” Mondo asked, standing two urinals over from Leon.
“I need to make sure you actually go.” Taka answered.
“Awww, doctor Ishimaru doesn’t trust us.” Leon joked, fake crying after.
“The crocodile tears don’t work on me.” Taka said.
“You sure you don’t wanna join us?” Mondo asked.
“I already went.” Taka reminded. “I don’t have to go.”
“So you actually did have to go. You weren’t just leaving to prompt us to go.” Leon confirmed.
“Of course I did, why would I lie about that? Now hurry up and go, you’re making me miss the notes.” Taka nagged.
Without hesitation, Mondo got his aim steady and started peeing full force against the porcelain in front of him. The splattering of piss along with a deep sigh of relief from him filled the whole bathroom. He was glad he let go when he did, he knew it certainly wouldn’t have been a good idea to hold on any longer. It felt so blissful to finally relieve himself, it was just as rewarding as a feeling of winning a contest.
Leon’s stream wasn’t as agressive as Mondo’s, but it was still strong and felt amazing for him to let go of. It was in that moment he realized he really had been holding it for too long. The pee just kept coming out, not seeming like it was going to end anytime soon.
“I needed this so bad.” Leon sighed as he tilted his back in relief.
“Fucking same.” Mondo replied.
“Your stream is stronger than mine it seems.” Leon observed.
“Well it seems like yours is coming out neater than mine.” Mondo observed back.
“Stop comparing streams! It’s weird!” Taka reprimanded.
“It’s only weird if you make it weird.” Leon shot back.
“And besides, weren’t you the one who insisted being here while we piss to make sure we actually did?” Mondo pointed out.
“I’m just worried about your health. That isn’t weird.” Taka answered.
Taka rolled his eyes. There they were, not following proper restroom etiquette. They had followed the rule of leaving a urinal gap, but they had broken the rule of not talking.
Wait, why do I care about their bathroom habits? Besides the holding thing, worrying about that one was for the best… Taka thought.
Leon kept sighing to himself in relief as his stream just kept flowing and flowing. He was worried it was never going to end, but he knew it had to at some point. And it eventually did taper off into a trickle, letting the last few drops out. He shook himself a couple times before adjusting his pants back to normal and going to wash his hands. The pressure dying down into the empty feeling in his bladder he had now felt so good.
When the redhead went over to wash his hands, Mondo was still going. And Leon thought he had peed for a long time.
A few seconds into Leon washing his hands, Mondo’s stream ended and he went to go was his hands as well.
“I win.” Mondo said as he turned on one of the sinks, letting the hot water ran over his hands.
“What do you mean? It was a tie!” Leon asked defensively.
“I finished after you.” Mondo pointed out.
“Have you learned anything from me? Not everything has to be a contest.” Taka scolded.
“And this was a contest to see how much we could hold, not how much we could piss.” Leon said as he dried his hands.
“I know, I was only joking. It’s a tie.” Mondo confirmed as he shut the sink off and went over to get paper towels.
“Now let’s get back to class, you troublemakers.” Taka said.
Once Mondo had thrown his paper towel away, the three exited the bathroom and went back to their class. As they entered the classroom once again, Mondo got the reminder that Makoto was also in this class. He found it slightly embarrassing that he had to witness him be dragged out of class for this, but at least he knew the outcome of the whole contest thing.
If Mondo was slightly embarrassed, Leon was even more embarrassed when he remembered Sayaka was in the class too. It wasn’t exactly the best thing to have your crush witness someone else have to pull you out of class to take care of a basic human need…
He couldn’t be angry at Taka, though. He was only trying to do what was best for him.
After the last few classes of the day, the three boys went back to their dorm room to unwind from the school day. The school day that felt more than twice as long compared to the other ones…
“So about today…” Taka began. “I know I’m obsessed with rules and order and all that shit, so it might seem like I’m just trying to be a killjoy who ruins people’s fun when go through with all your ideas. But I’m just genuinely worried about your safety, especially today. I didn’t want you guys to hurt yourselves by going too far.”
“It’s okay.” Leon reassured. “We probably did get carried away after all.”
“And we need you for when that happens. You keep us grounded and we love you for that.” Mondo expressed.
After all, who knows how longer they would’ve kept it up if Taka didn’t intervene…
