Chapter Text
Tik..tok..tik..tok…diiiiiiiiiiing
Tokuno Yushi stirs awake from his nap at the sound of the bell. Chairs being dragged and conversations about after school activities fills the space. He debates whether or not to open his eyes.
The sound of the door opening can be heard and a loud voice echoes “Yo is Tokuno here? The people from the classroom next door wants to go to the usual karaoke place and said bringing Yushi would give us a discount. Something about the owner’s daughter liking him or something?”
No, opening my eyes now would bring me disaster. I’m asleep. I can’t come because my eyes are closed.
“Yushi?—” the president looks at the hunched sleeping figure at the back of the class “—he’s asleep though.”
“Darn…we can’t wake up a sleeping prince now can we?” The guy resigns and before he can go back to his classroom bearing unfortunate news, he gets an idea, “can you tell him tomorrow that class A is inviting him for karaoke? Pretty please?”
“You do it.”
Whines and strings of plea can be heard after.
Safe..! The “sleeping” teenager felt touched. Voting for the serious-no-bull guy for president must have been the wisest decision he has ever made for the past 17 years. Thank you pres, never once doubted you
Silence soon envelopes the classroom after the commotion. He opens his eyes. It takes him a few seconds to adjust to the brightness before noticing the pile of chocolates in front of him.
Ah…everyday is valentines
Before he could grab his favorite chocolate brand, a voice calls him.
“Yushi-chan~”
Tokuno turns towards the voice and sees the one and only Maeda Riku standing by the classroom’s entrance.
“You look cute,” Yushi compliments and points at Riku’s star hair clips, “the hair clips are nice”
“Really?” Riku languidly enters the room and sits atop the desk next to Yushi’s, “thanks, got them for free. The noonas came over and insisted they try out their new hair accessories on me. I think I heard about you being their next target. Something about butterfly clips?”
“What time did they do your hair? I have to escape by then before they can catch me”
Riku chuckles at the response.
Both of them know that the female seniors are definitely trying out their new hair accessories on Yushi next, whatever it takes and by whatever I mean whatever. It’s a tradition at this point, dolling up Riku and Yushi that is. Perks of being the school’s star boys, or whatever title they have given them this year. It changes annually, last year they were flower boys, and the year before that they were magical boys. Embarrassing really, but it’s highschool, everything’s bound to be embarrassing.
“Look at my desk,” Yushi says, bragging.
Riku raises a brow and smiles amusedly “I have my own chocolate tower inside my locker, stupid. Now hurry up and pack that up, shoot is at 7 and the company car is already outside.”
Yushi looks at the boy beside him.
Then to his desk.
Then once again to Riku.
“Riku-chan”
“Hm?”
“Riku-channn”
“You think I’m not immune to you acting cute? I’m not helping you pack up”
“Riku-chan~!”
“. . .”
Yushi, defeated, starts to pack with a pout, making Riku laugh. The older eventually helps pack up the chocolates, laughing even more after seeing the younger’s depleted backpack (usually containing a notebook, pen, headphones, phone, sunscreen, and his 3-tier lunch box) now looking full, “really, I think your fans want you to become diabetic.”
“As if your situation is any better. Didn’t you bring a sack to school one time because your locker bursted from the amount of chocolates your fans stored in there?”
And the two proceed to bicker all the way to the car until their respective managers had to stop them to remind them of their schedules.
Maeda Riku and Tokuno Yushi. NCT Wish High’s flower / magical / star / anythingnicewordingreally boys. Full-time high school students, part-time models. Their school’s pride and joy. You can’t mention one without the other. Conjoined at the hips since birth, forever neighbors, best friends, partners in crime.
Soulmates. Platonic ones.
At least that’s what one of them feels.
The other guy on the other hand...

We bickered about who got more chocolates from fans today. If you knew that half of those were from me, I wonder what your reaction would be. Would it be disgust? Or would you laugh it off and think I’m pulling some kind of prank?
Funny thing is that I hope you won’t think I’m just goofing around. I wish for you to acknowledge my feelings, even if you’ll despise me for it. I would not be able to live with myself knowing that the possibility of me loving you does not exist in your head, for I have lived my whole life with my heart open for you to do anything to it. Selfish of me, right? How can I feel so freeing of the thought of me telling you my heart over the cost of our friendship?
