Chapter Text
He wasn't sure how much time he had spent shouting, fighting and rebelling until he got to this point. There was truly nothing better than being greeted by Leon with his wagging tail.
It had been his favorite thing when coming home from school too. Every time he had an exhausting day because school had been just boring, or somebody pissed him off- which happened a lot, most of the time it had been Rei who did- Leon had been there to lift his spirits.
He'd open the door to his home and Leon would be all excited and run towards him and jump at him, making Koga almost stumble. He'd spend some minutes just sitting at the entrance being greeted by Leon, pulling him into his lap and petting him. It lifted his spirits immediately to be reunited with his dog.
Now that he wasn't a student at Yumenosaki anymore, but actually a professional idol, he was even busier than before and more exhausted when he got home again. A lot of things have changed in the past year. He and Adonis graduated, they joined their former senpai and went under contract of a big music label. So much has happened, but some things stayed the same:
1. Leon would always greet him with a wagging tail at the door.
2. Rei still slept in a coffin.
3. Kaoru still flirted with way too many girls, who all fell for it now that he was a famous idol.
4. 90% of their fridge's content was just Adonis' meat.
Not that Koga was complaining. So much was different now, that he liked the few things that stayed the same. Though, he'd never admit it to anyone, especially not Rei or Kaoru. But he didn't mind with Adonis. He could know that Koga appreciated their always fully stocked fridge with meat.
Or other things.
They all lived together in a small apartment and had to share their bedroom with someone else, for Koga it was Adonis, while Rei and Kaoru shared theirs. Adonis was a good roommate.
For starters, he didn't have a fucking coffin. He also never complains that he can't take a girl home. Actually, he doesn't ever complain. Hell, he wasn't just a good roommate, he was a perfect one.
He didn't even mind Leon. Koga wouldn't let Leon near Rei and Kaoru complained too much about him, but Adonis didn't. He was still overly cautious when it came to his dog, but he did pet Leon sometimes. And Leon liked Adonis, of course he did. Leon was just like him and had a good sense when it came to humans.
On the other hand, Leon also liked that little pink devil Tori. And Rei. And Kaoru. Which was shown now, when Kaoru was the one to open the door after another exhausting day.
Leon had already been waiting for them with his tongue darting out of his mouth and excitedly jumped against Kaoru, who was the first one to walk into their apartment.
Kaoru stumbled backwards against Rei, who caught him.
"You really need to tame him," Kaoru hissed at Koga.
Koga growled at him. "He's a wolf, he doesn't need to be tamed!" Then his expression softened as he laid his eyes on his beloved dog. "Did ya miss me? Heh, of course you did. I did too." He kneeled down to pet his dog.
"Jeez, go inside first before you spend half an hour cuddling your dog," Kaoru said and sighed.
Rei snickered behind him. "Doggie being welcomed by his doggie sure is a nice sight to come home, right?"
Koga wanted to say something, but then Leon started to lick his cheek. Forgotten were Rei and Kaoru's comments immediately. He let out a laugh and ruffled his dog's fur. "Ya wanna go out?"
"Aren't you tired?" Kaoru walked in and immediately unbuttoned his shirt. "I am tired as hell."
Koga had been tired, yes. They've spent a long time today at the studio recording their new song, but he was completely awake and full of energy again now that Leon had greeted him.
"We're goin' on a walk," Koga just replied and then looked up to Adonis. "Ya wanna come with us?"
This is something new too. Adonis started going on walks with Koga and Leon now that they lived together.
"I'd like to," Adonis replied.
Koga flashed him a big smile. "Great!"
"We should eat before, though," Adonis said.
"Oh, can you buy us some food?" Kaoru asked.
"I don't need any," Rei said, as he walked into their kitchen, opened the door and took out a bottle of tomato juice.
"Stop being stupid, you need food that isn't tomato juice," Kaoru said and turned to the younger two again. "There's this one place I wanna try out, but they don't have delivery. Just get some take out."
"Who are we? Your fucking servants?" Koga asked and got up again. Adonis gently put his hand on Koga's shoulder to hold him back.
"Does the place have meat?"
"Of course it has." Kaoru rolled his eyes. "I'll call and make an order. Thank you!" He named them the address and name of the place and turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
Koga opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but again Adonis interrupted him.
"Let's go then," he said. "When we get home, we might be in time to watch that one movie you wanted to watch. The anima-"
Koga quickly put his hands over Adonis' mouth. "Sh! Don't let them hear you!" he hissed. "They don't need to hear I wanna watch that damn Disney movie."
There was actually nobody he'd ever tell this, but Adonis was an exception. It was during their last year in High School when both of their senpais had been gone and they had been alone that they grew much closer. So close, that he trusted Adonis with the secret that he liked The Lady And The Tramp. If anybody else would find out Koga liked that damn animated Disney movie about two dogs falling in love, he'd probably ask Adonis' friend Souma to lend him a sword so he could commit seppuku himself.
Adonis raised his arms and put Koga's hands down. "I'm sorry," he said. "I won't say it again."
"You better not. And yes, we better be in time."
The place Kaoru named them wasn't that bad. It wasn't too far away and they had to walk through a park, where Koga let Leon fool around for a while. When they thought the food would be finished by now, they walked to the restaurant.
It was big and popular, probably because it recently opened. They didn't allow dogs, which made Koga angry. He had refused to go inside at first and wanted to wait outside, but Adonis somehow convinced him. How that guy did it all the time was a mystery to Koga too.
"By the way, what did that flirt order for us?" Koga asked, when they were standing in the queue. Yes, there was a fucking queue, that's how full the place was. Probably because it just opened recently.
"I don't know," Adonis said. "I hope it has a lot of meat."
Koga chuckled and put his hands into the pockets of his jeans. He couldn't wait until they were back home at their place and he could change those for sweatpants and watch The Lady And The Tramp while eating whatever they were picking up now.
Now that Leon wasn't around anymore, he could feel himself getting tired again. His dog cheered him up for a short time, but Koga still had been around all day since morning and he was exhausted. He leaned onto Adonis and closed his eyes.
"Is everything alright, Oogami?" Adonis asked.
"Don't yer move," Koga said, still with his eyes close. "I'm tired as fuck."
Adonis didn't move and just let Koga lean against his side. Another example of what a good friend he was. Plus, he grew taller now that Koga could almost comfortably rest his head against Adonis' shoulder. Almost.
"Oh my god! Aren't you Otogari Adonis and Oogami Koga from UNDEAD?" somebody shouted. It was a female voice and Koga groaned before he opened his eyes.
This is what it was like to be an idol, he knew it. They had fangirls and now that they weren't just idols from Yumenosaki, but actual ones under contract of a big music label, they were even more popular and sometimes were recognized on the street.
That's just how it was, and yet Koga was annoyed. He was really tired and just wanted to rest against Adonis and now there were those girls.
Luckily for him, Adonis was the better person. "Yes," Adonis said with a smile on his face. "That's us."
The two girls in front of them were about their age, not much older. They attracted some of the other customer's attention and Koga hated it. They weren't that famous yet that they were always spotted on the streets, which is why he didn't think it was necessary to wear a disguise, but now Koga thought they should do it the next time they go out.
"I can't believe this! Can we take a picture?"
Fast forward a few minutes, all the customers who wanted to take a picture of them surrounded them. Not even just the customers, but even the owners. Most of them probably didn't even know who they were and have just googled them quickly on the phone.
Koga hated it. He was tired and exhausting and he didn't like all those people flock around him. He wasn't too good with too many humans. Dogs? He could do that. He could take thousands of selfies with different dogs without getting tired. This was too much for him.
Adonis on the other hand was polite and patient as always.
"Are you okay?" Adonis whispered to him after a while.
"What?" Koga asked.
"You're so quiet."
"I'm just tired, that's all," Koga grumbled. "And hungry."
Adonis raised his voice. "I'm sorry, we're really glad to talk to you, but we're also exhausted."
"Oh, it's okay," one of the first girls said. "I'm sorry for keeping you up!"
"No, you don't need to apologize," Adonis told her. "We should go now, but don't forget to eat a lot of meat to become strong."
The owners gave them their order and Koga grabbed it. He was thankful for Adonis saying what he wanted to say. If it would've come out from Koga's mouth, people would've seen him as rude. Adonis was some fucking prince charming or something, nothing he said ever came across as rude. Probably because he wasn't rude.
When Koga brought out money to pay for their food, the owner told them it was on the house. "You gathered quite a big crowd in here!" he explained. Koga turned around to see even more people than before standing in the restaurant with big eyes and their phone raised to take pictuRei or videos of them.
He sighed. At least they got this for free now.
"Thank you a lot," Adonis said. Koga was glad they were just finally able to get the fuck out of here.
"Can I ask one last question?" a girl suddenly spoke up.
Koga sighed, but Adonis nodded. "Of course."
"Uh, who do you both get along with the best in your group?" She and her friend were looking at them with bright eyes.
Koga scoffed. "That's easy," he said. "With Adonis of course." He patted on Adonis' shoulder. He almost said Leon too, but let it drop.
The girls shrieked. "I knew it!" one of them said. "I ship you guys so much!"
"Ha?" Koga furrowed his brows. "You what?"
"Nothing!" They seemed surprisingly embarrassed and rushed away from them both.
"Do ya know what the fuck they were talking' about?" Koga asked Adonis, who opened the door for him.
"No, I don't," the other male replied.
"Makes me wonder, though…" Koga huffed and put the food in Adonis' arms, so he had both of his hands free to spend all his attention on Leon.
After Koga changed his clothes to something more comfortable, he met the others in the living room under the Kotatsu, where they already prepared the food.
"I wanted to eat in my room," Koga said.
"What are you? Some moody teen that doesn't want to spend his time with his family?" Kaoru asked and Koga growled at him, but sat down on his side of the table.
"It's not a good idea to eat in your room. Especially on your bed," Adonis said. "You will spill some food on the sheets."
Adonis was right again. Koga sighed and grabbed the chopsticks.
"I'm not hungry for food," Rei said, while he looked at the dish in front of him.
"Shut up, you need to eat," Koga said. "Hakaze didn't even forget to order Tomato Juice for ya too."
Rei smiled when he grabbed for his drink. "That's really considerate of you, Kaoru-kun."
Kaoru looked away, suddenly very interested in his food. "You probably would've whined if I had forgotten."
"At least you didn't say 'No Homo', that's an improvement," Koga pointed out and Kaoru glared at him.
"Just eat your food, doggie."
UNDEAD wasn't what it used to be during Koga's second year in Yumenosaki. They were much closer now and it wasn't as if Kaoru could just not show up during practice, or Rei could just sleep during it in his coffin, now that they were professional idols. Sure, they probably had more freedom than other idols, which they fought hard to.
First of all, Koga had refused to go under contract with any label which didn't allow him to keep Leon. And of course, they were UNDEAD. They were known in Yumenosaki as the rebellious unit, they wouldn't suddenly be the goody two shoes that follow every rule.
Still, it wasn't just that what changed. They didn't fight a lot anymore, Koga hadn't fought with Rei as much anyway, after he graduated and they finally reconciled. Even though they've been somehow apart from each other for a year before he and Adonis graduated too, they all were closer than before once they reunited.
During dinner they told their former senpais about what happened at the Restaurant.
"It was annoying as hell," Koga murmured.
"Come on, I bet it wasn't that bad! Ah, I wish I had been there. The girls were cute, right?" Kaoru smiled.
"Next time you can get the food," Koga replied.
"Now, now," Rei said. "It's nice, isn't it? Being recognized as an idol. Fufu, I would've loved to see you patiently taking pictures with all the fans."
Koga was used to this after or before lives, but not when he was just randomly out.
"They were all really nice," Adonis agreed. "We even got the food for free."
"And I'm keepin' the money," Koga quickly said. There was this one dog toy he had been eyeing for a while and Leon only deserved the best.
"Something else happened?" Kaoru asked. "Did the ladies ask about me?"
"No, stop dreaming," Koga said. "They said they ship us. The fuck does that even mean?"
Rei and Kaoru exchanged glances. "Eh, I will not have that talk with you," Kaoru replied. "I don't like thinking about it. I'm a guy, you know?"
"What?" Koga was confused by his words. "What kind of crap are you talkin' now? You know what it means, right?"
Rei snickered. "I could give you the talk."
That sounded way too suggestive. "No! I- Shut up! I don't need to know what it means!"
"I thought you were curious," Adonis commented.
"I'm not," Koga shot back. "I'm finished! You two do the dishes, we already went to get it. C'mon, Adonis, let's go!"
"I'm not finished yet," the other male said. Koga looked down at Adonis' bowl. He had way too much meat, probably twice as much as the rest of them.
Koga sighed. "Fine, I'll wait for you in our room. And don't any of ya dare to come in!"
Rei smirked. "Oho? I guess I get now why that girl shipped you."
Kaoru choked on his food. "Please, Sakuma-san," he said. "I don't wanna hear this."
"What?! What does it mean?" Koga shouted at the so-called vampire. Rei just laughed.
"I thought you didn't want to know?"
Koga hesitated and got up. "I don't."
He did.
Which probably had been a bad idea. He was sitting on his bed with Leon on his stomach, one hand petting his dog, in the other hand he had his phone. The phone with which he looked up what the hell 'shipping' meant. Which was a mistake.
First of all, this was weird as hell. These people didn't know them, why would they think he and Adonis would be a couple? To be fair, Koga wasn't like Hakaze "Straight Boy" Kaoru, but the people didn't know it.
On top of that, Adonis was just a good friend. Yes, he was the closest friend Koga had, and they got closer during their last year in High School, but that's it. There wasn't any romance between them, they were just good friends.
Not to mention how ridiculous it was to be interested in some stranger's love life. And yet for some stupid reasons, Koga didn't just throw his phone away and pretend he never saw all of this stuff. No, instead he kept on scrolling until he came upon something called Fanfictions.
"The fuck? They write stories about us?" he asked. There weren't many, probably because they weren't overly famous yet, but enough to make Koga question their fans taste.
One of the stories especially woke his interest. He hovered over the button to click it. "Tch, no, I'm not gonna read it," Koga murmured and put his phone away. There was no way in hell he'd read a love story about him and Adonis. That would just be super weird. He couldn't even imagine dating him.
He looked at his phone again. Judging from the description of the story, apparently the writer had written them as wolves. Koga saw himself as a lone wolf, so it was nice to see his fans appreciated his own interest. Though apparently they wrote him as an Omega, which he didn't appreciate. Koga didn't ride in a pack, but he sure as hell wasn't submissive or weak!
Now he had to read it. He took his phone in his hand and clicked on the link. That was probably the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
At first, nothing happened. Koga was surprised he wasn't a wolf. Maybe it was because he was a werewolf? That would be cool too. Half human, half wolf. They wrote them really wrong. Koga wasn't that much of a whim and Adonis was not like this at all. He wasn't
But the more he kept on reading, the more shocked he was. His eyes widened with every line he read, he even had his mouth open from shock. "What the fuck," he muttered. This wasn't right. He wasn't a fucking wolf. He wasn't even a werewolf.
What the fuck was he? And yet he couldn't stop reading.
"What do you want?" Adonis whispered against Koga's ear.
"I want you," Koga choked out between his heavy breathing, shivering when Adonis placed his lips on Koga's exposed shoulder.
"Think again," Adonis replied and bit into his shoulder.
Koga moaned in response. "I want you, my alpha," he cried. "Please, I need you to fuck me…"
"How do you want it?" Adonis asked. His hands were all over Koga's body and he needed him so badly.
"I want you to take me, alpha, claim me as yours, knot in me-"
"What are you doing?"
Koga flinched and screamed out loud when Adonis entered the room, which made Leon jump up too. Then, he accidentally threw his phone in Adonis' hands.
"What-"
"No! Don't! Don't look at that!" Koga screamed. He stumbled over his bed as fast as he could, trying to get that fucking phone out of Adonis' hands.
"Oogami, what is-" Adonis looked down on the phone.
Koga just kept on screaming until he lunged himself straight against Adonis. He just fucking threw himself against the other male, making both of them fall over. Koga landed right on top of Adonis, grabbed out his phone and threw it behind him. The bad thing was just, that he didn't hear it land anywhere.
"Shit!" Koga turned around in horror to see that the window to their room was wide open. And he had just thrown his phone out of the window. "Oh my god, fuck. Fuck!"
"Oogami, is everything alright?" Adonis asked.
Just now Koga noticed that he was lying right on top of Adonis. That was just like how that one Fanfiction… No. Koga jerked backwards with a red face. "No! I just threw my fuckin' phone out of the window!"
"Why are you both so loud? What happened?" Kaoru asked. He was standing at the door frame and looked down on Koga, who was, well, not lying on top of Adonis anymore, but still straddling him.
"This is not what it looks like!" Koga shouted.
"Oh my god. Let's pretend I didn't see this." Kaoru murmured, and closed the door.
"No!" Koga cried after him. "Fuck! I can't believe this is happening."
"Oogami," Adonis said and sat up. "Calm down."
"Don't fuckin' tell me to calm down!" Koga growled at him and grabbed his collar. The door went open again and now it was Rei who was standing at the door.
"I didn't believe it at first when Kaoru-kun told me," he said with a wicked smirk on his lips.
"No! Shut the fuck up!" Koga let Adonis abruptly go and rolled off from him. "Get out!"
Rei laughed. "You children grow up so fast…“
Koga jumped up and pushed Rei out and the door close. He turned around, his back against the door and let out a long sigh.
"Is everything okay?" Adonis asked, his voice full of concern. He was like always the angel.
"Yeah," Koga lied. "Just… forget it. Sorry. You too, Leon." He scratched the back of his head. "Damn, now I have to buy a new phone…"
"We can buy one together tomorrow," Adonis offered. "Do you want to watch the movie now?"
Koga blinked. "What? Oh! Yeah. Yeah, sure."
