Work Text:
if not for the sight of rin stretching as soon as he opened the door to the gym, isagi would never have guessed there was somebody occupying the room. the taller, as per usual, paid no heed to another presence in the room- as long as they don't bother him, he doesn't see the need to interact, or give a shit, to put it simply.
it was a public space after all. it was meant to be shared with other people.
although it was annoying at first, rin slowly grew used to it. it was to the point where he didn't even bother looking at the person who went pass the door. he stretched his leg, one of his daily routines in yoga before he felt a presence behind him.
rin glanced over his shoulder to see who was it that was so close to him despite the free space of the room, only to see isagi yoichi copying his movements. he raised a brow, but didn't say anything as he turned to look to the front once again. "what are you doing?" he asked.
"I thought maybe this will help me catch up to you! but i have to say.. this is pretty tough." isagi chuckled.
"stupid."
isagi smiled. people would argue that this was the way itoshi rin was- selfish, egoistic yet still elegant, and just overall someone difficult to deal with, but isagi would beg to differ.. but not, at the same time.
there was a side to him that only the shorter knew of, and he wasn't planning on sharing it to others. despite his mean personality, he was way more than that. even if he received deadly glares and threats of murder on the football field, during their break, there were times where rin would always have this fond look in his blue eyes when he conversed with isagi- or the littlest smile that graced his lips when he thinks nobody is watching.
his little habits too- the way he strips all the edamame from their sack before eating them, or how he ties his shoelaces twice each time- the smallest details of rin was adorable.
isagi let out a little groan as their session finally finished and he was snapped out of his daydream, folding his legs again after stretching them way past their limits, chuckling breathlessly. he wondered everytime how rin was able to do this everyday; but perhaps if he himself kept this up, he might be able to do the same.
ah, his legs are kind of cramping now.
the younger had already gotten up from the yoga mat, rolling it up to tidy up the place. isagi wanted to follow along, but god forbid him from standing because of the cramps. he didn't say anything though- it was embarrassing to tell rin that he pushed himself too far!
the taller had sent a few glances his way though as he was cleaning up, perhaps curious as to why he hadn't been moving. isagi would smile every single time, a silent "don't worry about me!". please don't ask, just move along!
"are you planning on staying for longer?" rin asked, tilting his head to a side. usually isagi would follow behind him like some sort of a lost puppy- seeing him willingly let him leave alone was peculiar, and.. fishy.
something doesn't add up.
isagi laughed nervously. "haha! i'll catch up to you soon!" he said, a hand behind his head. the younger only narrowed his eyes at that, not at all convinced with the answer.
looking at his position and the way he barely moved his legs, it didn't take long for rin to figure it out.
"such a lukewarm excuse."
the taller, without a word, started to clean up after isagi, rolling up the mat and putting it to it's respective place. the older could only watch in shock, wondering why he was even doing this- didn't he hate doing things that didn't benefit him?
isagi didn't even get to think long. as soon as the place was squeaky clean, he was suddenly lifted off the ground and into the arms of itoshi rin, and he wrapped his arms around the younger's neck on instinct, afraid he would fall.
"w-what-"
"shut up."
and shut up isagi did, but his heart doesn't seem to do the same.
maybe it was because his heart was so warm and overflowing with love that he couldn't hold himself back anymore, pressing a gentle kiss onto the younger's jawline. rin tensed up, but didn't say anything about it, nor did he push him away.
"thank you." he chuckled, nuzzling into rin's collarbone.
"shut up."
if isagi noticed the way his lover's hold tightened, he didn't say anything.
