[Team Sonic] Telling Yourself

Starting words from ALL THIS DIRT/SET MYSELF FREE

Trying not to let Sonic die.

This is a "Last Hold" blurb because idk I felt like it.

Kawaguchi = Iwamoto
Kuwamoto = Sakuma

Set after the events of the movie but you don't really have to know what happens to read.



If he doesn't acknowledge it, it doesn't count, right? If he does not accept it, it is not valid. And eventually it will go away. Or so Kawaguchi told himself. But the strange, nagging feeling in his stomach did not go away. If anything, it only got stronger with each passing day.

It didn’t help that he and Kuwamoto spend a lot of time together due to being in the same Bouldering Team and the same department. Which meant they spend the majority of their days at university together. Kuwamoto also had other friends from the Dance Circle but for some reason Kawaguchi would find the other next to him more often than not. It had become natural.

Even though Kuwamoto had been at the Bouldering practices and had supported them at the tournament, the other had not climbed in a long time himself because the doctor had not given him the okay again. Kawaguchi knew that the other had been going to rehabilitation sessions in between classes at the hospital affiliated with their university.

Today was the first time Kuwamoto was allowed to climb again and Kawaguchi was there to support him. Maybe it was because he felt somewhat responsible - or very - for what had happened and so he was watching the other like a hawk now to ensure nothing happened to him ever again. Or well, that was another thing he kept telling himself.

“Alright!” Kuwamoto whooped when he reached the goal.

“Well done,” Kawaguchi nodded and gave the other a small smile - which Kuwamoto couldn’t see, considering he had his back towards Kawaguchi.

“I’m coming down.” Letting go, Kuwamoto just let himself drop back down onto the mat. When he landed he stumbled back a bit and bumped into Kawaguchi, sending both of them down.

When Kuwamoto propped himself up, he looked at Kawaguchi. “Sorry. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, no worries,” Kawaguchi looked up at Kuwamoto. Ah. There it was again, that weird feeling in his stomach. He pushed it away.

But it returned full force when Kuwamoto suddenly asked him a question. “Say, Kawaguchi, have you ever kissed someone? Or wanted to kiss someone?”

Had the other noticed? Had something given him away? Kawaguchi panicked a little.

“I-... yeah.” He decided to be honest.

Kuwamoto licked his lips. “Me, too. Right now.”

“Right-” Kawaguchi let that sink in for a moment. Then he snorted softly and relaxed. “Then why don’t you? If it’s permission, it’s been granted.”

“Really?” Kuwamoto sounded disbelieving but the other did not dwell on that for long.

A moment later they were locked and lost in a kiss. It was a little awkward and clumsy but hey that was what first kisses were supposed to be like. Right?

They would get better from now on.
