Work Text:
Walking down the hallway of their school, a man with blonde hair frowned—confused and bewildered by the sudden changes he didn't nor did ever think was gonna happen this quickly. Yes, Before he had hoped this day would come, wished and prayed for it, to finally have time to breathe without having a certain admirer looking for him and trying to spend time with him.
He should be happy, so fucking happy but instead—all he felt was loneliness. As much as he hates to admit it himself, he got used to your presence, your clingy nature and how bold you can be with professing your feelings for him.
Even if he rejected you for more than ten times already, you were persistent in your pursuit—he can admire that at least. The only thing he thought he liked about you was your ambitious personality, especially when it came to him.
Truth be told, he didn't realize how he would always peer at your face, a mere glance to some, even to him at first although thinking back on it—his eyes would first land on yours that sparkled at the sight of him, then the apples of your cheeks which he couldn't help but find adorable even if before he would denied it countless of times, your eyebrows, your eye lashes, heck, even your forehead. Though, all of these were just the appetizers, what he really often gazed upon and couldn't help but scrutinized from time to time, were your lips.
Those cute lips of yours that widens and curls up in a cute smile, unable to help himself, his grip on the papers in his hands tightened from just the vivid memory of it, glowing and ethereal from simply just doing so, his heart skipped a beat. "…Fuck…" Cursing underneath his breath, he shook his head trying not to think about it, trying not to think of you and those…lips of yours.
Sometimes having some lip balm on, sometimes not. Sometimes having lipstick on and sometimes not. How it looked beautiful while it glistened when applied, even if it was dry from you not paying much attention to it until you licked your lips wet from the sight of him, trying to impress him and making yourself look pretty.
Yes, he noticed.
Unlike his two idiotic brothers, mostly his younger brother, they were often times—if not, oblivious, when a girl tries to impress them.
Too focused on their friends and sports to even care. Although the oldest, was thankfully not that dumb. Despite what their birth certificates says on not being related—merely just adopted, they all were kinda alike. Reckless, stupid, and definitely troublemakers inside and outside of school.
Turning a corner, his next following steps hilts, too focused on his own thoughts to even recognize that familiar voice that haunts him every time he walks, speaks, and appears. His breath hitched, blue and grey eyes became dilated at the sight of you—although a bit disheveled from the hours that came, he couldn't help but still see you as stunning as ever, something he didn't think he would ever admit in this time and age.
A familiar feeling welled up, swallowing the lump that formed in his throat, hearing your boastful tone which he knows you would only speak in such a way whenever you feel excited or happy about a memory, achievement, or a certain topic. That same wide smile on your face and that vibrant glint in your eyes, the same glance you would have given his way, and the same look he had thought would only be directed to him until his remaining weeks end on this school.
Since you said it yourself, you would only look at him and only him until he was finished with his high-school years which he only had a few months left—being in his last year while you were a year below him. If possible, you would continue to do so, that is if he chooses to go to the college that this school offered being right beside it.
The school you two and a lot of students went and enrolled in—has a daycare, elementary, middle-school, high-school, and college available. Being a free for all, money was only used for projects, school-trips, welcome and graduation parties, prom, and all things that students would most likely love to experience at one point.
The investors often gave the school a large sum just to keep everything intact and have the students live and experiment what profession they want to be when they grow up.
Although having a reputation that's said to be reckless and destructive, a lot of students loved it there. Free to do anything they liked as long as they made sure to keep working on themselves to improve for the future they have longed for to achieve.
Same investors were once students as well, the school was barely known back then until one student managed to achieve a golden medal to which many in return—followed.
Aching to achieve the same feats, rewards, and recognition from all.
Needless to say, the school was built up from the bottom in a rocky foundation to the top with a steady structure that continues to build itself up even through the destruction.
Sometimes destruction is rather needed in order to build something better, all whilst seeing what they'd failed to see before that in which made it unsteady.
The papers in his hands wrinkled quite a bit, feeling a wave of emotion that he dared not to acknowledge, he bit his lower lip and took a step forward. A deep aching within his heart that longed for you to notice him, to gaze at him like how you used to before, without him even breaking a sweat.
"Hey—" His voice wavered, trying to catch your attention, however, only to be cut off by someone else. Despite so, your head turned to his direction, a sudden feeling of warmth in his chest while air was knocked out from him.
Thinking you that you were looking at him but truly, you were looking at someone behind him. Not even noticing him, maybe, "Ace!" Your voice echoed through the hallway, the name slipping out of your lips made him stop and stand still, being frozen in place. Seeing the familiar raven haired idiot running past him, having the same youthful grin on his face like you, with his freckled cheeks that were slightly tinted in pink.
His brother.
Called out for you yet again, which Sabo barely registered, his focus set on you. As if the things around you nor him didn't matter, wasn't that important unless it's you and him. Moving towards you whilst you opened your arms excitedly for someone else.
Did you even notice him?
Did you even see him?
You looked at their direction, his direction, so surely you saw him right?
He was the first one you would always see, even through the crowd of students between the two of you, you managed to see him and know it was him, each and every time without fail.
So why?
Why weren't you looking at him?
Why weren't you acknowledging his presence?
Why weren't you doing anything even though you must have heard his voice that you always managed to somehow hear—even from afar and follow to go straight towards him?
Why…
Why were you..
Why were you giving that beautiful smile to someone else that's knowingly his brother.
Biting his lower lip hard, to the point blood might even draw out of it, frowning whilst he glared at the sight in front of him. Teary eyed from the tightening around his throat, how his heart felt like it was being squeezed, the papers in his hands crumpled from the way he was gripping it ever so intensely.
His figure leaking with murderous intent, he was about to walk forward, pull off those grabby hands Ace placed on your shoulders as his brother hugged you tightly in reciprocation.
Although pausing when his name was called, "Ack—! There you are!…Sabo! I've been looking everywhere for you!" A feminine voice called out to him, sweat that formed on his temple dripped down his cheek, the vein that almost burst from irritation and annoyance slowly disintegrates as he took deep breaths—in and out, trying to calm down.
Turning around with a forced cheeky smile on his face, "Koala…heh…I was just about to go to the dean's office…" Noticing his own voice was strained, Sabo cleared his throat whilst Koala just raised a brow at him, staring at him like he was acting suspicious and indeed he definitely was.
"Uh huh…right…Anyways we'll be having an emergency meeting later, so ya better not be late!" Squinted eyes, she reached out to pinch Sabo's cheek, looking at her with a surprised expression at the sudden emergency meeting being ordered without his knowledge until now.
Being the Council President, he was the one who makes the calls, although he does let the other members schedule a meeting if its truly a necessity. "Wahy thaougwh?" He asked, slightly muffled from the way Koala was pinching his cheek before letting go as he rubs the spot to soothe it from the after pain that her pinch gave him.
"Don't know but it's because of the funding or something…" Raising a brow at her explanation, thinking about the possibilities of what could have happened until Koala forced him back to reality. Needing to go with her immediately for something else, Sabo glanced at yours and Ace's direction one last time, his right eye twitched seeing Ace's hand on your head while you two talked oh-so-happily.
Rolling his eyes, the fake expression vanished, his true feelings showed through a darkened glare painted on his face, intimidating since he usually looked so friendly. Turning his head, he began walking beside Koala who glanced at him, noticing the way his hands gripped on the papers tightly to the point it was wrinkled.
"Sabo…" He hummed in a questioning tone, looking at front. "The papers in your hands are wrinkled now, you know…" Koala pointed out making Sabo's eyes widened as he looked down, cussing underneath his breath. "Damn it…I didn't even notice..."
Immediately trying to straighten the papers while Koala just raised a brow, the suspicion she had was definitely right and a thought came to mind, definitely getting a gist as to why he's acting this way and it was all because of a certain someone—who was usually by his side right now, wasn't present.
Suddenly a small smirk makes it's way on her lips, having a mischievous look on her face, thinking exasperatedly, 'Oh Sabo…so that's why you've been acting strange these last few days…' Slowly the smirk on her lips softened, she sighed heavily while shaking her head, "Don't worry, Sabo…Only a few weeks left…"
Perking up at the sound of his name and Koala's words, he raised a brow, looking at her dumbfounded. "What are you talking about?" Koala just gave him a fuckass grin that resembled that one roblox meme face, slapping his back making him stumble and gasp. "Don't worry about it ya big idiot…You'll know soon enough!"
Sabo frowned, asking even more questions but Koala would only shrug, looking innocent as if she wasn't hiding anything from him which was obviously not the case.
Almost week two.
Almost two weeks of you not coming to him, not talking with him, not running towards him, and lastly, not volunteering yourself when he and the other student council members checked up with everyone and asked for volunteers about help, which usually happens when a big event is gonna happen—even your classmates looked at you expectantly, since you always raise your hand up in the air eagerly while Sabo just smiled politely, being 'professional'.
Everyone knew of your admiration towards him, which is why it was surprising to just see you talking with someone else and not paying attention to whatever the student council president has spoken on about whilst also rejecting him when he straightforwardly asked for you.
This scenario happened earlier this morning—
"So…anyone?" Sabo asked after explaining, his gaze briefly turned to where you were seated, as if already expecting to see you having your hand raised up but no. Some of the council members raised a brow, your classmates glanced between you and their student council president with curiosity. Some were already gossiping too, whispering with one another.
"Why isn't she volunteering?"
Sabo, himself didn't know, he wants to know why as well.
"Shocking since she always volunteers…"
Yes. She always does, which makes this all more confusing than ever.
"Did something happen between them?"
No. Nothing happened between them—not that he knows of at least.
"Did Sabo-senpai finally make her stop pursuing him or something?"
Holding back on rolling his eyes, one corner of his lips slightly twitched, a bit annoyed by question since he didn't. How could he when you—yourself don't even listen to him, somewhat happy about it though but thankfully…no one caught that one, not even himself.
"Or maybe she's finally moving on?"
Tensing up for a moment, expecting anything else—that one, he wasn't expecting, suddenly feeling the same tightening around his throat.
You?
Moving on from him?
His fingers and eye twitched yet again. His emotions were on the brink of bursting, that couldn't be the reason right?
That you were barely noticing him now?
Looking at him?
Giving him attention him?
You said that you would never—Oh, who was he kidding, he stated that it be a long shot anyways. He shouldn't be so hung over at such an expected outcome. People move on anyways, especially if their crush has rejected them so many times, being blunt and straight to the point of refusal.
Perhaps this is one of them.
Even so for some odd reason, he didn't like that.
Taking a deep breath in, his nerves suddenly seemed overly active, Koala took a notice—the whispers weren't by any means low, they weren't even trying to be subtle with their gossiping. Taking a step closer towards him, Sabo noticed and glanced at her, the irritation in his face softened but only lasting for a second due to another statement which was heard by everyone in the room.
"I mean…That wouldn't entirely be impossible...I saw her and Ace-senpai last saturday…holding a big teddy bear or something…which definitely looked like a date."
That made his blood run cold, the warm and friendly atmosphere around him disintegrated, his hands clenched into fists, Sabo slowly looked at who said that. Hearing it yourself, your cheeks warmed up, your head snapped towards your classmate in surprise, stammering with your words.
"Hey! It wasn't a date! I told you—" Crossing your arms while you 'tried' to looked confident, having a glint in your eyes despite looking nervous. Too nervous actually for someone who's trying to be convincing, "It was just us buying stuff…for uhm…my little brother."
Silence for a few moment, the classroom erupted with shouts of disbelief,
"Bullshit! Ya don't have a baby brother!"
"You're an only child, dumbass!"
"Even Pinocchio could lie better!"
Gasping dramatically at their remarks, sweating bullets while you raised your hands up in the air, guilty but still trying to fight for your so-called-innocence. "Hey! I'm not lying! I do have a little brother…or at least...someone I consider a little brother—"
Groans echoed the classroom, someone was about to shout something else before it was interrupted by none other than their dashing, incredibly handsome, professional student council president.
"Enough." His voice firm and steady like a true leader, sending chills down to everyone's spine as they immediately straightened up their act. As they say, the friendly ones are usually the scariest, glancing at Sabo—accidentally meeting his eyes in which you immediately look away from.
His head is tilted down with his bangs falling over his eyes but not fully covering, his eyes looked devoid from the lack of light that usually emit from them, a small crease in between his brows and his lips had a forced smile on it.
Suddenly, he wasn't in a very good mood.
Taking a deep breath before he spoke once more, "That conversation is irrelevant to what I have asked from all of you…So I'll ask again, will anyone volunteer for duty this friday?" Leaning back, crossing his arms whilst scanning around each and every of his juniors with such a scary glint in his eyes, barely anyone could meet it at the moment.
Albeit, you were definitely the one who's in more trouble, but you didn't know of it. Sweating bullets, lips tight in a straight line as you kept your hands to yourself, even if they longed to be raised like the undead that craved to come back alive once again just like in movies.
But you couldn't.
Needing to wait until the day comes, you've been working so hard for it. You can't ruin it now especially since you can't keep a secret around your future husband—very delusional of you to think so but whatever, they say it's good to manifest anyways.
Biting his inner cheek, he knew that most students had their own club duties and such, but they really did need some more help from other students.
Blatantly lying to himself, they didn't need more as they've already achieved the right amount—that even the other council members concluded but due to a raising itch that he couldn't satisfy despite all the scratching he did, he had to ask one more class which was yours, waiting for it which deemed to be taking longer than it was supposed to.
He couldn't hold himself back any longer, "[Name]-san?…Will you be volunteering this time around like before? We could really use more helping hands like what you've always offered."
Your breath hitched, suddenly feeling like the flow of oxygen that comes to you, stopped, staring at the love of your life in disbelief. Did he just…call for you?
Like actually?
Even your classmates and the other council members looked perplexed and bewildered, some covering their mouths and other half looked intensely as if what they're witnessing was a historical moment.
And truly it was, mainly due to him always giving you a pass as an act of giving you some 'rest' when truly he's had enough of you, in the nicest way possible.
"No it's okay, [Name]-san…I'm sure you have duties to attend with your club that day from what I've heard."
"You don't have to force yourself, [Name]-san. You should take a rest since you have always been so helpful, you deserve it."
"Oh it's fine, [name]-san. We have already picked out some volunteers which could be of help this time around."
But due to your relentless persistence, you always end up being one of the volunteers anyways. Unbeknownst to you, you'll probably receive an award by the end of this school year just for it. Crushing so hard, you accidentally gained a honourable award just for trying to swoon and getting to know him better.
Sabo couldn't help but feel anticipation seeing the way your eyes glimmered due to his words, it warmed his heart, thinking you'd finally come back to him. Come back to— "I'm sorry, Sabo-senpai…I can't..." Another moment of silence, everyone just turned their heads away as if the world was ending.
Considering their biggest lovesick fool was the one rejecting for once.
It was definitely the end of the world.
Sabo was clearly appalled by this, it left him momentarily speechless, "Wha—?" Before clearing his throat, a sweat dripped down his forehead, "May I ask why?" Asking, his tone trembled a bit, barely noticeable.
You gave him a quick glance, his heart ached at that since you have always stared at him for much longer than just a quick second. "Well…I have…uhm…Me and Ace-senpai already made plans…and.."
By the mention of his homewrecker-of-a-brother alone, a vein popped on the right side of his jaw, grinding his teeth, squinting a bit. Sabo could already see Ace having a smug look on his face whilst holding you tightly against him like a damsel in distress.
"Is that so?" His voice was tight, as if holding himself back and truly he was. Seeing you nod in confirmation, he just smiled, definitely understanding, definitely not fuming at all. "I understand."
He doesn't.
"Well…it seems like no one else wants to volunteer in this class which is fine." Everyone else other than you—sweat dropped at the obvious tones of frustration and anger in his voice, you were just silently sulking on your chair.
Considering you just rejected the guiding light that he, the man of your dreams, offered to you that would undeniably lead you deeper into his world and especially heart.
It was that deep for you.
And undeniably, it was for him too.
"We'll be off now…Thank you for listening and for your cooperation. Until next time everyone." He bowed down politely along with the others who walked out after him, somehow hurried, the silence in your class was deafening for a moment until someone finally broke it.
"Woah…That was better than any soap opera I've ever watched before."
Sabo glared at the papers in front of him, staring at the spot where he'd usually see your name along with the others but it remained blank, he even made sure to not write anything on it just in case you decided otherwise—changing your plans to help him instead of being with his reckless brother.
Was he having a dream—no, not a dream, but a nightmare? Was all the stress from planning, organizing, keeping track of the funding, catching up to him?
Staring immensely towards the papers on his hands, trying to see better as if he's hallucinating which could be the reason as to why he couldn't see your name on it, usually deeming it as a 'good' hallucination whenever your name wasn't on the list—a rare occurrence that happened only once back then, which made him a bit relieved that he wished for it to happen again and it did, but instead of relief this time, it left a bitter taste in his mouth instead.
He knew well enough that you didn't volunteer, the scene from earlier has been rewinding in his mind over and over again but he just couldn't believe it.
From the way he was glaring at the paper, it might as well just come alive and cry. "This is stupid…so fucking stupid…" Sabo lets go of the papers in his hands, throwing them on the desk, leaning back against his chair while he tilts his head up to look upon the ceiling.
Thoughts running through his mind, Why?
Why were you acting different?
What changed?
Did something happen to you?
Were you sick?
Why were you distancing yourself from him?
He hasn't done anything to upset you that much did he?
Yes, he might've been rather cold at times but he had let you stay no matter what, which you took greedily as always.
Him too, but that's besides the point.
He had let you eat with him and his other friends, if you were lucky enough—sometimes it would just be the two of you, alone together. He had let you keep him company even though you clearly needed to go home as school—in itself was already exhausting as it is but he let you stay because you wished to spend time with him and he really couldn't deny some company since it's rather lonely staying back to finish some paperwork.
Sometimes sharing the same drink without a second thought, since there has been a few times neither one of you has hydrate themselves enough throughout the entire day, each exchange has always made other students give you two a look, his fan girls weeping quietly in the background.
Giving you books that he happened to have and finish, making sure that it also happened to be in your liking, sometimes he would buy some that had the same plot as the rest since he noticed that you tend to enjoy some specific scenarios a lot.
Having a stock of pens because you were clumsy and you tend to lose a lot, which—
Pausing for a moment or two before Sabo's eyes widen, his line of thoughts stopped while his body perked up, sitting up straight. Heat crawling up to his neck onto his face while he replayed each memory and moment you two had and—
Honey…
It finally made sense.
Why he felt so lost and why sometimes others would mistake you two for a couple who's merely 'acting' for the sake of 'privacy' since some of Sabo's fan girls can be a little crazy, technically you were too but since he's paid more attention to you than anyone else—then maybe there was something else going on in the background which they didn't know of.
How could he be so blind?! And he dared give criticism towards his brothers. Smacking his face with both of his hands, he lets out a groan, making sure to drag it out for a few seconds.
"FuckFuck…Fuck—! How could I not see it…see that?!…What the hell…" Embarrassed by his own blindness of the situation, his own feelings. He didn't know what to say, all those times spent together, lunches sometimes shared with one another—even your cutlery and his which was used by you two briefly then using it to feed each other, special moments that happened mostly in private and in rare cases in public, caring for each other, and…
Maybe that's why you had been so persistent, because you saw it, saw his reciprocation even if he didn't. Sabo couldn't help but groan yet again and feel stupid, maybe he should taken an eye test due to his blindness—his left eye that was in fact somewhat blind due to an injury he had gotten when he was younger.
Sabo rubbed his face before slapping his cheeks, creating an obvious red imprint of his own hands. Organizing his trail of thoughts, making a plan to come see you and explain his feelings before it was too late, that Ace might have already had you swooning for him—something would only happen over his dead body or perhaps not, because Sabo would finish him off if that were to happen.
He looked at the time and grumbled, almost time for school to finish and he only had a few minutes left—needing to finish the last bit of paperwork, he can make it.
He will make it.
Forty-five minutes later and finally the bell rang, Sabo frowned a bit, still needing to finish up one last form before he could go. He could already hear the other students on the other side of the door chattering and walking, it tends to get rather lively and loud when school hours were finished.
He could only hope you still would be doing something else before his annoying brother could get to you. After a while, the chattering went down and he was finally finished. Deciding to immediately pack his stuff and ran out of the student council office.
Eager to see you and explain what he realized, his thought process about everything and talk with you on what you two should do about your mutual feelings for one another. It can either end up with you two finally being together or waiting, he didn't mind waiting. Not at all, as long as he gets most of your attention and affection 24/7, perhaps throw in some dates in between. He definitely can wait.
Definitely.
Feeling rather impatient from the pent of emotions he's been holding back from fully bursting these past days that come and go, rushing down the stairs to reach the second year classrooms, he dashed towards yours which were by the end of the hallway, seeing the sign of your classroom above, he smiled.
Barely any student left, off to their own clubs or back at their homes, whatever. Unable to maintain his excitement as he sees your figure through the small windows of your classroom, calling out to you mid-way, "[Name]—…"
Pausing, his eyes widen, suddenly seeing Ace appear—already with you, waiting for you for whatever reason it may be, weren't the plans you two agreed to be together, would be on Friday?
So why was he here now?
Beside you?
Actually better question yet, how long has Ace been doing this?
Waiting for you after school?
Lingering around you like an ugly bug towards a beautiful flower. Suddenly the words he wanted to say were caught up in his throat, frowning at the sight like before. Usually Ace had practice matches after school, which is why he's perplexed and maybe a bit furious.
You two were talking but he couldn't decipher anything at the moment, hearing his heart pound and his own breathing that went unsteady, thoughts ran through his head. Staring at you two in disbelief, Ace walked closer reaching out to you who just didn't even react and remained comfortable, his hands on your shoulders while you leaned your back against him, lowering his head down to look over, almost covering you with his body.
Sabo couldn't take it anymore, usually calm and collected, always thinking logically before acting but right now—his emotions did the actions first before he could even think rationally. From the very moment you tilt your face to look at Ace whom turned directly at you, barely a distance between you two, as if you both about to lean in and close the gap.
Sabo could already see his fist landing on Ace's face in less than record time in his mind, walking forward. He slides the doors open harshly which made you and Ace jump, surprised and confused, at the booming sound of it crashing against the wall. "Sabo-senpai?" You were the first one to talk, Ace just stared at his own brother in shock—seeing Sabo so riled up and flushed for whatever reason it is.
Sabo just walked closer whilst he reached out, immediately pushing Ace away from you, "H-Hey?! What's the deal?!" Ace gasped, stammering with his eyes widening even further, catching himself with the use of his hand on the desk, Sabo took you into his arms and held you tightly against his chest.
"Don't get close to her, idiot! She doesn't like being crowded!" He hissed, Ace looked at Sabo with his jaw slacked. You blinked at your crush's words before biting your lower lip, heart skipping a beat from finally processing what Sabo was doing, holding you tightly in his arms, were you dreaming?
Was this even real?
He smelt so nice and heavenly, you could barely listen to him and Ace shouting at each other. Having a misunderstanding, Sabo was furious and Ace was just dumbfounded. Reaching out to grab you, Sabo slapped Ace's hand away. "Back off." He glared, acting all possessive and sexy of him you might add. Ace just flinched once more, not used to seeing Sabo being so aggressive over a girl, but slowly it clicked.
Was Sabo…
His own rational and 'composed' brother…
Jealous?
Seeing his brother look down at you and then back at him, the difference was very much noticeable. Like disgustingly noticeable. Soft and worried with you, then harsh and frustrated with him. Ace slowly hum with a slow nod to match it, crossing his arms whilst a devilish smirk makes its way on his lips.
Barely even giving Ace another word, Sabo scoops you up in his arms—causing you to flinch and hold onto him on instinct, afraid of falling, unless it's falling for him, "Let's go…I need to tell you something…" The council president whispered to you, his warm breath against your ear, thankfully you were being carried or else you'd be falling onto the floor with how hot he sounded.
It was lethal.
Already taking your bag and placing it over his shoulder, which also had his own hanging from, You remembered Ace, snapping your gaze away from Sabo who scowled silently, "I still need to talk with Ace about something—" Rolling his eyes, your crush didn't stop, "No you don't…not right now at least…he can wait till tomorrow anyways…" You were about to retaliate when Sabo just leaned in and kissed you on the lips, he's been dying to do that for how long now?
Probably for almost two years now, unknowingly due to his stupidity.
Freezing up, Sabo just licked your lip gloss off, letting out a groan of approval at the sweeten fruity flavor your lips had, biting your lower lip—still walking you two away from Ace who peeked outside the classroom and shouted throughout the entire hallway with a few students walking by, "Use protection!…or don't, I guess?!"
Leaning back, Sabo could only roll his eyes, licking his lips while he looked down at you. Heat crawled up your neck, face burning up from the way blood rushed up your brain and whole your entire body, eyes locked onto Sabo's face.
That made the older man smirk, you didn't even gave Ace your attention which to him is a massive win. "Been wanting to do that for years…was just too dumb to not notice it…" Letting out a exasperated chuckle, his voice was raspy, unable to function well at the sudden change of attitude from your crush, immediately hiding your face against his shoulders.
Hearing a deep rumbling noise from his chest while he whispered against your ear, "Don't hide, princess…I wanna see your beautiful face…" Unable to say 'no' from the way you felt like your mouth and throat has dried up, you shook your head instead.
Sabo hummed, you looked cute like this, shy and flustered which he remembers you rarely get, it's his favorite sight as well. "No?…Do you want me to make you then?" He teased, your grip on his knitted cardigan tighten and that made him smile widely.
"Is that a yes, princess?…" Shaking your head rapidly but Sabo just continued, "How naughty of you…" Brushing his lips against your ear causing you to shiver, "Okay then…guess we'll have to stop somewhere private before we go out on that date huh?"
Momentarily with Ace...
Ace could only watch from afar, looking smug as ever, finally seeing his brother make his move after so long. "Ugh…that idiot...It took him this long to finally do something huh..." A fond chuckle coming out of his lips, turning around, going to the opposite direction of where you and Sabo went.
"Looks like the surprise is gonna be ruined…" Reaching up to ruffle his hair, scratching his scalp, "…Hope that he would have some protection with him at least…" Grumbling, closing the door of your classroom while he froze for a moment.
Glancing back on hallway where you two disappeared from, "He does, right?…Since he's always prepared?…" Scratching his chin, looking exasperated, "Should I get him some or?…" Suddenly a thought of what he was gonna come across—came to mind, looking disgusted, shivering while he began walking away.
"On second thought…maybe no…He's not dumb enough to do that unprotected anyways…" Talking to himself, doing so as if he was trying to reassure himself, but doubt had crept in. Hilting in his movements yet again, looking back over his shoulder, he whispered with uncertainty.
"Right?…."
Back with you and Sabo...
Walking you two towards the nurse's office, because it was closed today since the nurse was rather busy with taking care of his wife who just given birth. "Hold on…" Gently moving you in a more comfortable position on his arms, not wanting to let go of you.
He was very strong, you could feel his muscles flexing from the way his arm was holding onto you possessively. Reaching down his pocket, having keys that unlocked almost every room at school, he pulled it out and unlocked the door.
"There…" Hearing the click, he opened it—walking you two inside before he reached back and locked the door behind you two. Throwing the keys on the desk and placing both your bags gently on the floor.
His other hand was being wrapped around you once more, "Princess…" He purred, leaning in as he walked the two of you towards one of the many beds available, so undeniably needy with you, he carefully placed you down. Whining a bit, your hands still clutched on his cardigan, his heart warming up at it.
"Why are you so adorable?" He whispered, lowering his head to place kisses on your face. "You're making my heart feel all giddy…" His lips trailing down to your neck, taking a small lick, he moaned at the taste of you.
"Senpai…" Whimpering whilst tilting your head back instinctively, the warmth from his kisses made you lightheaded. Hearing a low groan in response, letting you know that he's listening, not stopping however, he teasingly bites on your throat before sucking on your skin.
"I'm not…" Biting your lip, "I don't know how to…" As much as you know a lot of things about intimacy, the doing part was very nerve-wracking because you were inexperienced. Sabo stopped after a few seconds before he pulled back, giving your throat a brief glance—seeing a small redden purple-ish mark on it, delighted before he looked directly into your eyes.
Seeing your face, meeting your shy glances, he couldn't help but continue to melt—how can someone look so devasting lovely and be so ravishing at the same time?! Lifting his hands to place them on your cheeks, holding you in a way that told you that you were special to him and that he would never hurt you.
"Hey…It's okay…" Licking his lips, eyes searching through yours, "To be honest…" A blush making its way on his cheeks while you meet his gaze anxiously, "I don't know how to do it too…if you're worried…" Your eyes widened, not expecting that since you had assumed he did.
Technically, being like the hottest guy in the whole universe, why didn't he have any experience? Though at the same time, you couldn't help but feel happy about it, knowing that you'll be his first and last experience then.
"You don't?…" Your question alone just made the older man more bashful but he couldn't let you feel alone about your inexperience, especially when he is in the same predicament. "Yea...shocking I know…" Letting out a chuckle before closing the distance yet again, placing a soft peck on your lips which made your breath hitched, before melting into it.
Moaning together, kissing for a few seconds before pulling just an inch away, pressing his forehead against yours. Hands reaching down to hold yours, giving it a tight squeeze. "I know boys like me…usually have some experience…especially since I'm eighteen now, but I don't…"
He wasn't really all that about sex or whatnot, he does get aroused but to the point of sleeping with someone? Never really crossed his mind that obsessively unlike most guys, although he had a few wet dreams that almost made him try and look for someone but he always stopped whenever he would remember you and your sweet smile, warm laughter, that charming timid look you would direct his way.
Which he didn't know why back then but now he does. Gently caressing your knuckles with the use of his thumb, seeing the questionable look on your face, probably hesitant to ask since it's a private thing but he didn't mind sharing with you.
"Didn't feel right…" Tilting his head to press his lips against yours, a slight crease in between his brows, eyes glistening while he whispered. "It didn't feel right cause it wouldn't have been you…" The tips of his ears began having a red tint due to the sappiness in his words but seeing you smile sheepishly from it—was worth it.
He too, let out a small smile, capturing your lips in a tender yet passionate kiss. Moving to stand in between your legs, a shiver runs up your spine, his hands moved almost desperately, one to be placed on your hip while the other on the bed, gripping onto it tightly as he held back, not wanting to move too quickly.
Whimpering his name, Sabo pressed himself further against you, tilting his head to deepen the kiss. "Princess…I wanna touch you more..." Murmuring a plea, moving his shaky hand down to graze on your thigh, looking at you with a gaze that spoke of loving and desire but most of all, longing.
Lowering himself down until you had to look down just to see him, blood rushing on your face at the sight—seeing him aching for you, "...please…please let me touch you more…" Placing your hands on his shoulders, not wanting for him to kneel since the floor was dirty and you wouldn't able to handle it due to a flooding that might potentially happen.
"Okay…You can touch me…" Giving him permission, a quiet administration of approval, Sabo's eyes immediately brighten. Grabbing hold of your wrists, kissing your fingertips up to your knuckles, worshipping you slowly, taking his time with you. "You're so beautiful…so precious…" He mumbled, affirmations given without a hint of hesitation or second thought.
Moving up until he was placing kisses on your shoulders once more, lips trailing his passion your left shoulder before doing the to your right, "You're so kind to me…so sweet…I don't deserve you…" Whispering his name, he lifts himself up to capture your lips, in which you reciprocated whilst he used his body to push you down firmly on the bed. Keeping his hands below you, not wanting to cause harm or discomfort while doing so.
"Tell me if it's too much…" He spoke against your lips, in return you licked his, sending a shiver down his spine. "I will…" Trusting him with yourself, you held onto him, tight and with the knowing of being secure in his care. Sabo whined due to your comfortability with him and how you respond to him.
Truly so trusting when it came to him, oh the things he would do for you. Things that might even be questionable in law nor his own morality to keep you happy, satisfied, and dangerously safe.
His hands wandering around to caress your back, his lips back down your jaw and neck, taking more firm bites and licks that would make you sigh in delight each time. A hand moving at front, tapping your upper button while he looked up at you.
"Can I?…" He asked, you nodded, feeling nervous and insecure from the image of your body coming to mind. Ever so in tune with you, Sabo grabs your hand, intertwining with his and squeezing it tightly. Placing kisses down your sternum, "So gorgeous…My pretty girl…"
Eyes that darts down slowly before looking back up to meet yours, lips still pressing against your skin while he whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take such good care of you…"
Your eyes focused on his swollen lips while he mumbled, a shudder leaving yours.
"I'll be gentle…"
And that was the last thing you remembered until everything went a blurr.
Running through the halls, trying to find a certain blondie. Koala huffed, having some new forms at hand, usually finding Sabo in the student council office but surprisingly he wasn't there. Deciding to look for his brother instead, running down the stairs and onwards to the field.
Though it seems like she didn't have to go that far since Ace was sitting on the stairs that led to the second year classrooms.
"Ace! There you are!" Beaming in relief at the sight of him, walking closer, "Hey, have you seen—" Leaning down before freezing, seeing Ace looking pale as a ghost while he murmurs something that she thought would happen a few years later, not now...
"...I'm gonna be a young uncle..."
"What?!"
