Chapter Text
[ THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V ]
"What?? What do you mean you guys can't come?" Luca's eyebrows furrowed as he expressed his confusion with facial expressions. He's currently on a video call with Mysta, Vox and Ike, all in their respective home countries.
"I've tried buddy, but the storm is too strong out here. I can't get to the airport, it's too far. I'm so sorry," Vox apologized in a low-tone, with an obviously disappointed look on his face.
"Same here. I'm sick as fuck too," Mysta started, sniffing mid-sentence. "Heck, I can't even get a decent meal, my fucking groceries are running out man." He added, with complaints alongside it.
"My flight got canceled at the last minute. I'm already here at the airport! And the airlines are taking a few days before they can bring the flights back. Talk about bad timing…" Ike whined at his unfortunate situation, ruffling his head as his face camera shifted because he was only using his phone at the moment.
Luca cannot believe this. This was the only time they planned to get together in his country, but the universe decided to be a bitch and act up, out of all other possible days. His mind was spiraling, not knowing how to solve this problem. He bit his lower lip in silence, trying to come up with a solution.
"H-How about we r-reschedule the stream?? Yeah, we can d-do it next time!" Luca suggested with a weary smile. He was trying his best not to show the boys his frustration—at the situation, not on them of course. This was way out of their control.
"But didn't Shu already land there? Based on his last message, he's already on his way to your house." Mysta stated, as he scrolled through his phone.
"Oh, yeah, you're right…" The blonde responded, remembering that he texted Shu a few hours ago about some details of his location. "How about we push the stream? We can maybe, do it the day after, or like on the weekends?" He added so hopefully.
"Luca… I don't think we'll be able to leave here until next week." Ike replied with a pained expression.
"Ikey's right. Based on the news, the storm is not letting up for at least a week or two. It's that crazy," Vox nodded his head in agreement, and let out a deep sigh. "You and Shu have to push through. We'll be here!" The man added with a wide smile.
"Yeah man! We can like, play a game together, even though it's not an offline collab, anyways." Mysta reassured the mafia boss with a slight smile, as Luca let out a slight chuckle and rubbed his hand on his nape.
"Weeeeell," He stopped, glancing back and forth to his computer screen. "I kiiinda announced in my stream earlier that the stream will be an off collab…" He finished.
"Oh." Was all the novelist could say, blinking his eyes a few times.
"Did you say who you're gonna do an off-collab with, though?" Vox asked, as he took a sip from his tea.
"No… but—"
"Then it's all good if you and Shu do the stream together! Then, we’ll do a separate stream for the 5 of us on a different day. Sounds like a good plan, right guys??" The detective smiled at the other boys through his computer screen, looking for confirmation from them.
"Yeah! Totally. You're such a genius, Mysta." Ike held up a thumbs up as he complimented the detective.
"Heh." The fox scoffed with a smirk. "Of course I am. I'm a detective, duh." He remarked playfully, which made the three of them let out a few chuckles before returning to the topic.
"Alright, that settles it then!" Luca exclaimed with a loud voice as he slammed his hands on his thighs. "I'll update you guys later on what Shu and I will decide what to do about the collab, okay?"
"Yeah, sure man." Mysta states before blowing his nose on the call. "Sorry."
"We're really sorry, Luca. We know how much you've been looking forward to and preparing for this collab. We all did." Ike apologized again with pleading eyes, feeling really bad for what had happened.
"Me too buddy. Had I known beforehand that there was gonna be a storm this serious, I would've booked my flight a lot earlier and flew there even weeks before this stream." Vox, once again, let out an exasperated sigh while shaking his head in dismay.
"Sorry man. My life has been fucking me over recently and now I'm sick. I really wanted to meet you guys again." The detective voiced out despite his nose being all red and his voice slightly hoarse.
"Yeah," Ike and Vox chorused. They all sat there in silence, which Luca didn't like; since he doesn't want to see his friends feeling down over things they can't control.
"It's really okay, guys! Don't be all so gloomy about it! We can't do much about it now, do we?? Let's just plan another off-collab soon! Maybe I'll come to you guys next time!" The blonde grinned widely at his friends, trying to keep the bad vibes away and bring back the positive energy in the call.
"You're right." Ike agreed with a mild smile, as he stood up, pulled his suitcase behind him and started walking. "Well, I have a bus to catch. I'll go home first and then message you boys later."
"Okay, take care Ikey-wikey!" Luca beamed a smile, as the other two said their goodbyes to Ike before he dropped the call.
"Aight, that's all for me now too. I gotta get some rest," Mysta gathered his used tissues around his desk and stood up holding it. "See ya guys later, I'll send a message too after I wake up from my beauty sleep." He added as he waved his hands to Vox and Luca, and then left the call.
"I have to get going as well, Luca. As Mysta said, it's hard to go out and get some groceries here. I'll try to sleep early and wake up early as well so I can at least escape the afternoon rush." Vox explained in a calm manner, as he fixed his robe a little bit.
"No worries, Vox! You stay safe there, okay??" The blonde enthusiastically said as he watched Vox on his screen.
"I will. You as well. Send Shu my regards!"
"Roger that! POOOGGG-'' With all his energy, he gave a loud pog before leaving the call. And as the call ended, his stamina and smile went down as if a switch in him turned off and all his energy was drained away.
"Goddamn it…" He let out a loud exhale as he leaned back on his chair, and placed the back of his hand on his forehead. Luca admits—his spirit went down a lot when he heard the news from his friends. Ike wasn't kidding—he has been preparing a lot of things and fun events to do with the boys since it will be their first time in his place. He even cleaned his whole apartment and bought different ingredients for some dishes he wanted to cook to feed his friends. All and other stuff like the stream itself— just went down the drain.
He knows it's not anyone's fault, but he can't help but feel sad about it. Well, at least Shu was able to come. He was the first one to book the flight and so, he arrived in Luca's country early. Alongside Luca, Shu helped a lot with the preparation of the collaboration and did most of the brain storming about what they can do for the Luxiem off-collab stream.
Luca just knew Shu would be disheartened the same as him, so he mentally pumped himself up so he could at least be in a good mood for Shu when he hears the news. After giving himself a personal mental boost, he heard his phone notification sound go off. Sitting up, he grabbed his phone from his desk, and saw from his lockscreen that it was a message from the sorcerer.
ShubertPOG🍌: hey luca, i think i'm near your house, but it's kinda confusing. can you come outside so I can know which one you live in? i might accidentally ring someone else's doorbell lmao
His mind being preoccupied with Mysta's, Vox's and Ike's situation made the fact that Shu is actually here seem so surreal, and that he will be in his place any time now. Luca also just realized that it was just gonna be them together for the next week... Not that there was anything wrong with it, he had spent time with Shu in the past. They've had their moments. But then spending the week at Luca's place for a week? Now, that's new. It kinda made the mafia boss nervous… and excited?
LucaurPOG😎: SURE!! GIMME A SEC
He hit send and then grabbed his jacket from his closet. It was pretty cold outside, since it's still early in the morning. Before leaving his apartment, he glanced at his clock and it read 6:27 AM. Damn. It was indeed really early, as he realized that he didn't get a wink of sleep because he was talking to the boys earlier for a few hours. He hadn't realized it was this time of the day already.
The moment he walked past his door and opened his gates, he saw the familiar man in the distance with obsidian hair, yellow and pink streaks in his bangs, and purple streaks at the back as well. He kinda stood out in the crowdless streets, holding out his phone on his right hand while carrying his suitcases and bags on the other. He was wearing a bucket hat and black jacket, with a knitted white turtleneck underneath it, partnered with slim denim jeans and brown shoes. He was glancing around, trying to find his mafia friend.
"Hey, Shuuu!!" Luca held out his hand high and waved his whole arm up in the air, calling out the sorcerer's name towards his direction. At first, he was sure Shu didn't hear him because he kept walking farther, passing the direction of Luca's apartment.
"SHUBERTT!! OVER HEREE!!" He shouted even louder, and ran a little towards the ravenette. It was still dark, but Shu was able to spot the beaming, bright smile of Luca even from far away, shouting and waving at him. He plastered a soft smile at the sight of the mafia immediately, as if his smile was contagious. Well, it kinda was.
"Oh, there you are, big guy." He greeted as he braced himself for impact. He just knew Luca was gonna give him a tight hug as soon as he approached the man. And he did, so Shu returned the hug back as he finally felt some warmth from Luca's body after strolling in the cold neighborhood for a solid 20 minutes. He noticed the mafia boss was hugging him a bit too tight as he can smell the other's scented shampoo near his face.
"SHUU! I'M SO GLAD YOU MADE IT!" Luca cheered with a teary eye as he broke out of the hug and placed his hands on the sorcerer's shoulders.
"Of course I would. I did promise you that we would see each other soon, right?" He responded with a faint smile as he followed Luca back to his apartment. "How about the others? I saw you guys on a call earlier. I couldn't join because I didn't have a good signal." Shu added, to which the mafia frowned and let out a deep exhale.
"Well, you see…" and Luca started to explain to Shu what was the situation for the other boys, and why they couldn't come. The blonde also expressed his tiny frustration at the timing of everything, and that it was such a wasted opportunity for them. As they entered Luca's place and changed into indoor slippers, Shu also shared the same sentiments as he let out a short sigh.
"That sucks. Like really," Shu grunted with dismay, putting his shoes on the shoe rack. "So what are we gonna do now?" He asked the mafia boss, as his left hand landed on his hips.
"Well, since I already announced that I'll be having an offline collab tomorrow night, the boys told me that, you know, we could maybe push through with it…?" Luca explained, trying to recall the other's suggestions earlier.
"Oh, you mean just the two of us?" Shu asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah," The other replied as he helped the ravenette with his luggages. "I can cancel it if you're not up to it though." He added.
"Oh, no I'm down for it. Probably a lot of your lucubs are looking forward to it already. We don't wanna let them down now, do we?" Shu remarked with a smile, as he took his jacket off. It was quite warm inside Luca's home, so there was no need to wear it inside.
"Yeah…" Luca trailed off, as he watched Shu take off his clothing and revealed that his turtleneck was sleeveless, and his buff biceps lowkey flexed at his motions. The mafia, for some reason, found himself staring at the obsidian-haired male and gulped. He caught himself the split-second when Shu glanced over to him, as the blonde hastily turned his head away. 'What the hell was that, Luca Kaneshiro?? I probably need sleep…' He scolded himself as he carried the sorcerer's smaller bags in his own room. Luca's apartment was a little bigger than usual, since he had a few guest rooms. He cleaned them all for the boys, but it looks like only one guest room will be used today. His head was hurting from all the dispute and he was running on no sleep. He mentally cursed himself as he prayed Shu didn't see him ogling on his arms for a second there.
Shu followed him in the said guest room, carrying the rest of things as they continued the conversation. "So, any ideas what we should do for the stream? The plans we prepared are for all five… I don't think it would work with just the two of us." He started as Luca placed down his bags at the side of the room. He opened the lights, which blinked slowly before completely illuminating the guest room.
"Yeah, we need to plan another stream idea, right from scratch…" Luca replied, looking a bit disheartened since he really did spend weeks working on their collab, with all 5 of them. Shu noticed this, so he just patted Luca's back, and smiled at him softly.
"Don't worry, Luca. The stream tomorrow evening will go well, we still have the whole day today and tomorrow morning to plan for it. It will be alright!" He reassured the blonde. The way that the ravenette said those words somehow soothed Luca's weary heart, and was able to pull up his lips in a smile.
"You're right, Shu. We got this!" Placing his hands on the sorcerer's shoulders, he let out a cheerful smile, to which Shu was glad to see. As if right on cue, quick footsteps can be heard on the hallway, hastily entering the room since the door was swung open. A golden retriever dog excitingly jumped on Shu from behind, tripping him out of balance.
"Woah—!" He tried to rebalance himself, but his foot hit one of his luggage on the floor, sending himself falling backwards.
"Shu!" Without thinking about it, Luca instinctively grabbed Shu by his waist and arm, and pulled him close to help him regain his balance. But he thinks he might've pulled too close for comfort.
Their faces were literally just inches away, and they could feel each other's warm breaths. They stayed frozen in that position, eyes slightly wide open and locked on each other; until his dog barked loudly enough to snap them out of it.
"A-Are you okay??" The mafia boss started, stepping a few steps away from the other.
"Y-Yeah…" Shu answered back, lowkey speechless on what the silence between them was.
"Excuse Dogma, he's just probably too excited to see you, hahaha," Luca let out a chuckle as he observed his pet dog circle around Shu and his things, sniffing thoroughly.
"It's okay. I'm actually excited to finally meet him too!" The sorcerer smiled at the mafia boss, obviously psyched to see the infamous Dogma. "Also… Luca?" He called out.
"Yeah?"
"You can let go now…" Shu trailed off, as he averted his purple orbs down to his waist, where Luca's hand was; still holding it sternly. The blonde then swiftly removed his hand on Shu's slender waist and arms, as a blush slowly seeped on his cheeks. He can't believe himself today. First, he was staring at his friend's buff arms and now he forgot (he forgor lmao) take his hands off the ravenette. He probably must be really tired.
"S-Sorry." Was all he could utter. Shu scoffed and told him it was no problem, and finally turned his attention to the jumping dog beside him. Thank god Shu was chill about it. Luca's head feels like it's spinning with what's happening for the past 2 hours, including the issue with Mysta, Vox and Ike's travels. And now this.
"Woah, you've gotten so big! Nice to finally meet you too, you cutie." The sorcerer squatted down to the golden retriever leaping at him, greeting him with an energy he was familiar with, from a certain mafia boss. Dogma licked his cheeks, sweetly sitting in front of him as he continued caressing the dog's golden fur. This cute interaction from the sorcerer and Dogma woke Luca up, as he stood there watching those two play around with a faint smile on his lips.
"He looks a lot bigger in person than in those photos you sent me," Shu stated as he stood up, dusting his thighs with his hands. "But still cute." He finished with a smile.
"Yeah! He grows so fast, I swear to god." Luca responded with a groan, as his pet then approached him and happily looked at him with its tongue out. "Slow down a bit, yeah?" He said to Dogma, while he petted its head. They both shared a few laughs together while talking about the dog, before going back to the topic.
"I'll try to research some things we can do so we can prepare later or tomorrow. Maybe something simple, but rare. Since it's gonna be an off-collab." Shu crossed his arm as he closed his eyes, thinking of a good idea for the stream tomorrow.
"You should rest first! You just came from a long flight and traveled, I bet you're tired." Luca started with slight concern written on his face. Aside from his own exhaustion, he could sense and see fatigue in Shu's eyes and voice as well, even though the sorcerer hid it so well.
"Hahaha, you're kinda right. You should too as well, Luca. I also bet that you haven't slept all night." Shu pointed out as the mafia boss scoffed, surprised at the fact that he was read like an open book.
"Sheesh, don't use magic on me!" The blonde jokingly retorted, as he let out a chuckle afterwards.
"I didn't! Also, it's sorcery , not magic. There's a difference. I'm not a telepath, boss ." Shu remarked with a playful tone. "You just look and sound really tired. You should really rest and sleep, Luca. I'm fine here, I'll unpack first too as well." He added as he sat down on the soft bed.
"You're right..." He was guilty as charged. Luca couldn't do anything but nod and agree to Shu's words as he rubbed his palm at his nape. "Thanks, Shubert. I guess I'll go take a nap and wake up later in the afternoon." He stated as he led his dog out of the room. "Let's go, Dogma."
"Oh, he can stay if he wants. I could use a company while I sort my things out. I'll just leave the door open if ever he wants to go somewhere though," The sorcerer added as the golden retriever leaped on the mattress and made itself comfy by lying down next to the ravenette.
"Damn, I think he really likes you, Shu." Luca commented as he watched his pet dog snuggle itself next to Shu. Dogma never really acts at ease with other people other than Luca himself. So, it was quite a sight to see him comfortable and familiar with Shu.
"Well, I like him too. He's really pog , just as you said, hahaha." The sorcerer chuckled as he stroked the fur of Dogma's head, as he closed his eyes and snoozed off.
"There he goes. Alright, I'll go to sleep myself! There's food on the fridge if you want to eat or something," Luca added before he exits the guest room door frame.
"Okaaay." Shu grinned as they waved at each other. "Have a good sleep, Luca." He finishes with a gentle smile before bringing back his gaze to Dogma and his things.
Something about Shu being in his bed (technically, 'cause it's his furniture) and with his dog looking so precious… and that smile . God, that smile of his that just looks so lovely. Luca has seen that smile before when they first met in real life, but it never ceases to mesmerize him every time he sees it.
As the mafia boss shook his head to brush off such thoughts, he deeply exhaled as he walked back to his room. His pulse rate was definitely increasing and his face was warming up. Determined to go to sleep as fast as he can to get rid of these weird feelings pent up in his head and stomach, he rushed to his bedroom and threw himself at his bed as he closed his eyes, hoping that the exhaustion would guide him into his slumber.
* * * *
"Haa… F-Fuck, t-that's…" Luca felt himself let out a sensual groan and whimper, as he felt movement and sensations on his cock.
"U-Ughh…" He was slowly losing his mind. He was hot, horny and completely aroused. There was only a dim light around the room to help him visualize where he was. What he was only sure of was that he was lying by his back on a bed—while someone was giving him a great blowjob.
He could feel the person on his dick move up and down as they moved their hands on his thighs, and they continued to suck and lick his hard member. Luca couldn't stop moaning and groaning at the amazing demonstrations on his cock, it was just so great. His toes curled as he felt his dick twitch inside of the mouth of the person eating him up, and he was sure he's close.
"I-I'm… A-Ah… C-Cumming… Nngh…" The blonde stated in between his panting, as the other person picked up the pace. This drove him to arch his back at the immense pleasure he's feeling, stomach churning in anticipation. His hips were moving and grinding so much that the other person had to hold him down firmly with their hands and slender fingers.
"I-I…. Mmhmm… H-Haah…!" After a few moments, he shot his juices into that person's mouth, filling it to the brim as he could feel his own cum coating his cock, dripping and flowing down to his balls and butthole.
"W-Wha…" Luca wanted to ask what was happening, or who was able to make him orgasm that fast.
"Hm?" The other person hummed in response, as he could see their shadow wiping their mouth with the back of their hand.
"I… Haah… A-Auhm…" For some reason, the mafia boss couldn't form any words and his throat just continued to release erotic noises. He was in a whimpering mess to think of any coherent sentences or thoughts.
"It was that good, you can't talk?" The other person finally spoke as they climbed above him, hovering on top of him as one of their hands continued to caress his flaccid member and balls. His heart stopped as he slowly recognized the person with their voice and the gradual revelation of their face with the room's dim light. Luca gulped nervously as his eyes adjusted in the dark, allowing him to clearly see his face. And holy shit. It's…
"...S-Shu? W-Wha—"
"Shh. It's alright, Luca. Don't worry, I can make you feel better." Shu's sultry voice lingered in the blonde's mind. He hasn't heard him talk like that, not to him at least. It was so different, yet he could tell it was Shu. It was definitely Shu.
Before Luca could say anything, the person on top of him raised one of his legs and placed on his shoulder, spreading his legs apart. He then felt the sorcerer's fingers, wet with his slick, traced the outside of his entrance, to which the mafia's body shivered from his touch.
"W-Wai—" Not letting the mafia finish, Shu inserted his long fingers inside his butthole, surprising Luca with both the sensation of pain and pleasure.
"Ahhh!!"
His upper body shot up and he sat up, as he sweats profusely with eyes wide open. His body was warm, his skin was sensitive and his boxers were wet from pre-cum. His body was experiencing the same sensations from a few moments ago, except now he's fully clothed and the lights were open… and there was no Shu shoving his finger inside his ass hole.
Luca hastily looked around and at himself, examining his surroundings. He was back in his room, alone and quiet. He was so confused. 'W-Was that only a dream? I-It felt so r-real…' He thought to himself, as he slowly raised the blankets that were covering his body. And he saw what he expected.
He was fucking hard. A huge bulge can be seen on his crotch, and the tip was wet and stained by his own secretions. He was so embarrassed for himself. Not only did he have a wet dream in the middle of the day, but he was doing it with Shu . With Shu Yamino, the sorcerer and his friend. How the fuck is he gonna face him for the rest of the time he's here at his home?
His heartbeat was still racing quickly, and even more now that he contemplated what to do next. Should he wait for his erection to calm down? It wouldn't be weird for him to stay too long in his room, right? Shu doesn't even know that's he's already awak—
"Luca?? You okay in there? I heard you scream…" Shu knocked at the door, and called for his name from behind the door.
"O-Oh, S-Shu! Y-Y-Yeah!! I'm g-good!!” Luca shouted panicking, as he hid under his blanket. He was really not in the right condition to see nor talk to Shu. Besides, he needs to resolve his issue first. But hearing Shu's voice even outside his room was making him feel things, as his mind wandered back to that dream .
"Are you sure? Do you need me to come in—"
"NO NO IT'S OKAY SHU!! I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE ANYWAYS!" He eagerly shouted, preventing the sorcerer from entering the room at all cost.
"Oh, okay then. Let me know if you need anything!"
"YEAH YEAH SURE!" After hearing Shu's footsteps walking away, Luca let out a relieved exhale. He wouldn't know what to do if Shu came into his room looking like that. Luckily, he was able to convince his friend and saved himself from further embarrassment. He then groaned at the throbbing feeling on his lower body, which he doesn't know how to get rid off. It was getting even harder each moment, especially now he's fully awake and could remember his recent dream in detail.
He needed to figure this out fast—or else Shu might come back and catch him at this bad moment. He should get this over with and just do it. He started jerking off under the sheets, keeping his voice to the minimum. He couldn't help a few whimper and grunts escape his mouth though, but he made sure it was mostly inaudible. He cursed under his breath, wondering why he had to get a wet dream today, out of all the days he was alone in his apartment. And why did it have to be with Shu…
He tried his best not to think of Shu while he was doing it. But since the reason he got that in the situation was Shu turning him on in that dream, his mind can't stop imagining the sorcerer on top of him. He can completely remember how his soft lips and long tongue felt around his cock, and how he got manhandled so easily in bed. How the ravenette's strong purple eyes glared at him seductively and the vibrato of his sultry voice made him feel things. All of these, plus the figure of the sorcerer above him, made the mafia's hand go even faster.
"Gaahh…!" He aggressively groaned as he could feel him nearing. He felt bad visualizing those things about Shu, but he can't help it. It was the easiest thing that could help him cum and ease himself, and it worked really well. A little too well, if he must say.
After he came, he immediately went to the restroom inside his room, washed off, changed his clothes as well. He mentally prepared himself first, and tried to forget everything that happened a few minutes ago. Though he doubts he will. Maybe momentarily and temporarily only. But he just knows it will haunt him again the moment he's alone again.
Exiting his room with a new found energy, he walked in his living room, where he found Shu in comfortable clothes, sitting at his couch with the laptop on his lap. He was eating something from a bowl, and a can of beer was seen on the coffee table in front of the beige sofa. Before talking to the sorcerer, the blonde looked at his wall clock to check what time it was. The clock read 7:30 pm, right on the dot. It was pretty late, he didn't know that he would sleep that much.
"Hey, Shu! Did you get enough sleep??" He greeted the sorcerer as he glanced at the mafia boss, and smiled mildly at him.
"Oh, hey Luca! Yeah, I did, thanks to Dogma. He slept next to me, it was so cute," He said with a giggle, as he revealed that the dog was actually sitting beside him all this time. Luca just found himself grinning at that, as he headed to the kitchen and opened the fridge to get a glass of cold water.
"You're probably closer to him at this point than I am," The mafia scoffed with the glass on his hand, walking towards Shu and Dogma. He sat on the other couch, still eyes locked on the other two.
"You think so?" The sorcerer stated, as the animal beside him raised his ear at the moment Luca sat near them, and then looked at him with excitement. "I think he was just waiting for his owner to wake up." He added as he gazed back to his laptop.
Before Luca could say something back, Shu stood up with the device in his hand and sat next to him. "So, I was thinking of a stream idea earlier, and I thought maybe a handcam cooking stream? It has been a while since you did one," The sorcerer started as he showed the last handcam stream that Luca did, which was almost a year ago.
"O-Oh, y-yeah…" Luca was caught off guard by Shu sitting really close to him, as their shoulders met when Shu scooted closer to show him the laptop screen. The mafia tried his best not to stare at the ravenette's face beside him, even though the sight of Shu's long lashes at a higher angle was really pretty. His hair smelled nice too.
"Also, this will be my first time participating in a handcam stream, if ever. That'll be cool, right?" The ravenette added.
He then averted his head on the opposite side to where the sorcerer was, trying to regain his composure. "I-I agree. That'll be pog! " He finished without looking back. He really needs to get his shit together.
"Yeah? Hmm, what should we cook or make on stream though?" Shu asked, as he leaned back to the couch.
"A-Anything will do! We can decide and plan now, and then buy the ingredients tomorrow morning!" Luca agrees as he borrowed the laptop to search for some 'easy to make' dishes.
"Should we ask the boys for this?" The sorcerer inquired, as he whipped out his phone from his pocket.
"Oh, yeah! That's a nice idea!"
"Okay, I'll message them." Shu replied as his fingers moved and started typing.
"How about some games? What games do you want to play, Shu?" The mafia added, thinking that they could play other games alongside cooking.
"Uhh, I'm down for anything. What games do you want?" The ravenette answered and questioned back, glancing back at the blonde.
"Hmm, how about 1v1 games?" Luca suggested.
"Oh shoot, you want to 1v1 me in something?" The sorcerer remarked back with a faint grin and a slight raise of his eyebrows.
"Well, y-yeah! I might as well, since you're here." The mafia responded innocently as he gazed back to the screen to look for interesting off collab games. Phew. Okay, he passed through that one without stuttering much. His mind was really playing games with him— since he interpreted what Shu said in a completely different context.
Brushing those thoughts off, the two started to further discuss the things they can do for tomorrow night's stream, along with the boys. As this was happening, a loud growl from Shu's stomach was heard, and it stopped them from talking.
"What was…" The confused mafia boss started.
"Hahaha…" Shu shyly laughed, embarrassed at the noise his body made.
"Have you eaten yet, Shu? Like a proper meal." Luca questioned.
"...Not yet. I only ate the fruit in the fridge." He confessed with a soft chuckle.
"Oh, Shu. Why didn't you tell me?! I could've cooked something for you!" The blonde exclaimed as he stood up, and headed quickly in the kitchen. It was an open kitchen, so it was accessible and connected to the dining area. He called the ravenette to the dinner table, telling him to sit and wait there.
"What's your favorite food, Shu? I'll make it for you, since it's your first day here too!" Luca enthusiastically started as he beamed a cheerful smile to the sorcerer.
"Oh, my favorite food? Hmm, I'm good with whatever, really. I'll eat anything you make." He answered as he sat down on a chair, and rested his cheek on his palm as he placed his elbow on the table, while his eyes still locked on Luca.
As soon as Shu mentioned the word 'eat’, Luca's brain suddenly flashed the image of the ravenette eating his… y'know .
"A-A-Alright!" Luca stutteringly remarked, and immediately turned his back on the sorcerer. He mentally slapped himself for subconsciously thinking like that, since he thought he had moved past it. Obviously, he hadn't.
To distract himself from these naughty, naughty thoughts, he just focused on making their meal. As he gathered the ingredients from the cupboard and fridge, he felt Shu approaching him from behind.
"How can I help?" He started, glancing over Luca.
"It's fine, you can go wait for it. You're the guest, I'll handle this!"
"Are you sure? Not even prepping the ingredients? I know at least the basic cooking skills, you know." Shu insisted, as he continuously watched Luca, who has now started to chop some onions.
"It's really fine, Shu. You can go rest or research more for the stream tomorrow, if you want! I got this, okay?" Luca then reassured the other with a wide smile, to which Shu nodded and exhaled in defeat.
"Okaay, if you say so…" He replied as he went back to the dining table, where his laptop was. He started typing again, probably talking to the boys and still searching up recipes for tomorrow's stream.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Luca invites as he and Shu finish up their delicious dinner. The sorcerer was at his last spoonful of the mafia's cooking, and then took a sip of water afterwards. The clock ticks 10 pm, which was a little late for the blonde. He usually sleeps around 8 pm, but he woke up really late tonight, so he wasn't feeling sleepy at all. After a hearty meal with Shu, the blonde felt like watching a film to also distract his mind from being occupied with other stuff. And he thought a late night movie with Shuey-Shu was a nice idea. Or so he thought.
"Yeah sure, why not?" The ravenette accepted his offer, as he stood up and started stacking their plates and used utensils. "Shu, what are you—"
"I'll wash the dishes. At least let me do that," He reprimanded with a stern tone, which made Luca back off and let him do it. "You can go ahead and pick a movie, okay?" The sorcerer added with a smile. The mafia boss just nodded, as his gaze remained on watching Shu before walking to the living room, where the TV was. Shu wore his kitchen apron, and Luca swore he felt his heart skip a beat at the view. The ravenette looked weirdly cute in his apron, washing their dishes in his kitchen. A little ridiculous to hear, but those was his honest thoughts.
'For god's sake, Luca.' He cursed himself under his breath, and headed to his destination. What was happening to him? He has been like this ever since Shu arrived at his apartment, not to mention that dream earlier. It was bothering him so much, he couldn't even look at the ravenette's eyes directly. He would be undeniably flustered whenever Shu's in close proximity, and his heart would go crazy as he became a stuttering mess. He couldn't understand his feelings, nor could he accept it. There's just…no way.
After a few minutes of blankly staring at the television screen while sitting on a couch, he randomly selected a movie to watch, hoping that it's a good one. It was on Netflix, so how can it be bad? It was one of Mysta's recommendations as well.
"Beer?" Shu approached with two cans of alcohol in his hand. Luca doesn't really fancy drinking beer, but because his mind wouldn't shut up, he decided to drown those thoughts with alcohol. Maybe he could use it as an excuse if ever Shu catches him being flushed. He grinned faintly at the sorcerer before he took the one Shu was handing him.
The other man sat near and beside Luca, their knees making contact. The ravenette wearing loose shorts didn't help the blonde from staring at his slender yet muscular legs, which made Luca chug almost half the beer.
"Woah, the movie hasn't even started yet. I didn't know you like that beer that much," Shu commented as he glanced at the mafia boss beside him, and let out a mild chuckle.
"Y-Yeah, I k-kinda started liking it recently…" He replied as he gulped down the liquor, gripping the can a little tighter.
"Oh, yeah?" The sorcerer remarked, raising an eyebrow before averting his eyes back at the television in front of them. "Cool. Okay, let's start the film before you drink that all up hahaha," He added.
Luca pressed play on his remote and the intro of the movie started. Him being tensed up at the feeling Shu's warmth and presence beside him gradually disappeared as soon as he started becoming invested with the movie's story.
Both of them were into the movie, sharing small talks in between scenes. They would share goofy and serious comments whenever the movie shocks them or reveals a crazy plot twist. Laughter of the two men bonding filled the living room, and they both enjoyed each other's company.
Hours passed, and the movie was almost over. The sorcerer was sat so comfortably on the sofa next to the mafia boss, with his head resting on the other's shoulder. The film's end was nearing, and so the atmosphere has calmed down as well. At first, Luca didn't mind it, as he was already a little tipsy and focused on the movie. But when he noticed his nth can of beer was empty, his mind started to become aware again.
"Awh, no more?" He peeked inside the beerless can, as if he could see the dark interior. "Well, gotta get another batch. Do you want another one, Sh—"
He was about to ask his friend if he wanted another can of beer and turned his head towards his direction—only to see Shu's sleeping face on his shoulders.
"S-Shu?? Are you asleep??" Luca waved his hand in front of the sorcerer's face, checking if he was still conscious. After waiting a few seconds, there was no reply from the ravenette, only the sound of him inhaling and exhaling slowly, completely knocked out. Probably because of the liquor. He was also maybe still tired from his travels.
Luca just blinked several times at the realization of Shu sleeping next to him. Their bodies were really close to each other, with one of the sorcerer's hands resting on the mafia's thigh. He could feel his body slowly tensing up, and unable to focus on the movie anymore. He couldn't move, scared of waking up the other from his slumber.
Contemplating if he should wake up Shu, he found himself staring at the sorcerer's face again. He was really pretty, even when asleep. His long lashes below his eyebrows really complimented his fair skin, petite face, glossy and slim lips. His lips… were so malleable.
'Wait, what the fuck,' Luca snapped himself out of it, shifting his gaze back to the television, and saw that the credits was already rolling. Great, the movie was done. His distraction was finished and now he was back at fantasizing about Shu.
"Ugh, damn it! What's wrong with you, Kaneshiro?!" He mumbled to himself as he ruffled his own hair in frustration. He didn't realize this hasty movement would trigger Shu to shift his position as well.
"Hmm… Quiet…" The ravenette whined and whispered unconsciously, as he turned his body to face Luca, as if he was gonna hug him from the side and nuzzled his head near the mafia's chest. He was still asleep, though.
Their faces were now closer and Luca could now feel Shu's breath on his neck, and this sent shivers down his spine. His heart rate mildly increased, and his body temperature gradually raised up as well. This was too much physical contact for Luca, especially now that his brain was fucking with him.
"U-Uh, um, S-Shu?" He tried to gather up the courage to wake up the sleeping sorcerer, but when he returned his gaze back to him, he couldn't say anything and just watched the man sleep on top of him. He was dozing off so adorably, so vulnerable for the mafia boss to see, with his lips slightly parted.
Luca was going crazy. He didn't know this close contact and a rare sight of the ravenette's would make him lose his cool. He only heard from Uki how Shu would act after drinking so much, but he never knew he would witness it so quickly in person. Still, he wondered why Shu was capable of making him feel this way. He has seen numerous drunk and passed out people from his line of business, so this scenario wasn't new to him. But when it comes to Shu, it's like a new experience all over again.
His entire body was telling him to sit up immediately and run away, but his brain was telling him that it was too rude to even move and wake up his friend beside him. All these and other thoughts ran across his mind, but one of those thoughts stood out as he remained his pale purple orbs staring at the ravenette.
Kiss him.
He clenched his fists strongly as his consciousness acknowledged this thought. With his heartbeat slowly rising to his throat, he could feel his mouth dry up, wanting to wet it again within Shu's mouth. He could feel his stomach churn at the thought of kissing his friend, as he wondered if drinking alcohol while being infatuated with Shu was a bad idea.
Yep, it definitely was.
He spent the next five minutes staring at Shu's lips, as his hands began to tremble mildly. He just couldn't fathom his emotions—why was he getting urges to crash his lips with the sorcerer's? Why was he feeling butterflies whenever he looks at Shu? It was a foreign yet familiar feeling; and maybe why he's bothered by it is because of the fact that he won't accept it.
Luca kept fighting these crazy trains of thoughts in his head, until a certain voice broke him out of it.
"Don't think about it—do it." The ravenette said, still eyes closed with no bodily movements. This confused the mafia boss, wondering if he was talking in his sleep. He bit his lower lip as he couldn't feel his restraint getting weaker by the second he spent more time beside this man.
Fuck it.
He moved his hand and cupped one of Shu's cheeks, and raised his lovely face towards him. Shu was so irresistible in Luca's eyes—how could he not kiss this gorgeous being?
Without thinking, he shut his eyes closed and leaned down to the sorcerer's face, meeting his soft lips with his. He did it.
He kissed Shu.
It tasted so sweet, and it felt so blissful. His mind was covered in ecstasy as he felt Shu open his mouth for him to enter. He almost let go at this sudden movement from the other, but Shu's left hand held the back of his head, not allowing him to move away. He intended to, but the kiss they so passionately shared felt too good, and Luca just melted into it. He gaped his mouth open, permitting Shu's tongue to explore inside his mouth—and never did he imagine it would feel that great.
This caused him to groan and moan in the kiss, alongside to the feeling of the sorcerer's other hand on his waist, pulling him closer. The mafia boss was being overstimulated from all the sensation he's getting, making the space in his pants tight. The familiar throbbing from his crotch woke him up and made him push Shu harder than he expected, as they hastily broke off the kiss. He was then greeted by a surprised expression on Shu's red face, with their lips still both wet from their own saliva mixing. The blonde felt himself blow a fuse as the happening and situation finally sank in him.
"I-I-I....I-I'M S-S-SORRY!!!" He yelled as he quickly stood up, bowed 90 degrees while apologizing, and dashed away from the ravenette on the couch. He ran directly towards his bedroom, with heart beating and pounding so loudly; as he panickily locked his door behind him.
He jumped on his bed, face down on the pillow sheets and blanket, and screamed incoherently while kicking his feet in the air as he shouted to himself.
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, LUCA KANESHIRO?!?!?
