Giving Kamui the Holy Sword had gone easier than any of them had anticipated. They’d returned to the school in silence, no one voicing their common fear. What if Kamui failed? Suoh stayed close to his side, paranoid and edgy even after they walked into their offices.
The Secretary had left as soon as they got on campus. “Give my best to Utako.” Nokoru had murmured as he hugged Akira goodbye. The younger man had nodded and smiled brightly despite the fear that shone in his eyes. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Chairman.”
The blonde smiled back and waved goodbye until his friend was gone. Trying hard to keep the smile on his face, he turned to Suoh.
“We have so much work to do!” he exclaimed, walking towards his desk. “We have to approve the high school’s request for-“
“Nokoru.” Suoh said his name softly, grabbing his arm as he walked past. “You think the world is going to end. I think paperwork can wait, just this once.”
Nokoru’s answering laugh came out breathy and only a little hysterical. “You think the world’s going to end too.”
Suoh said nothing, but didn’t let go of his arm. Suddenly, it struck the blonde that they were both probably going to die. He wrapped a hand around the back of Suoh’s head and pulled the other man towards him. Nokoru figured he could deal with the panic and the fear and the oh-god-what-have-I-done in the morning, if they happened to live that long. He crushed his mouth against his bodyguard’s, desperate fingers already tearing at shirt buttons. Some part of his mind told him to be ashamed but he ignored it. Without hesitation Suoh kissed him back, his covetous hands grabbing at any exposed flesh. Later Nokoru would muse on the fact it was the only time he’d ever known Suoh to be greedy in any way.
In the morning as the ninja dozed off next to him, the Chairman marveled at how he could forget something like the apocalypse. However, if for only one night, they had created a world that was entirely their own.
