hard to be soft [RL, Akihiko, Repeat Virus] [Backdated to last Tuesday]

[mortal_son]

The situation didn't really look cheery for Shinjiro when he woke up that morning. He found himself awaking rather early, senses alert, because something was clearly wrong. Things felt funny to him, and having snagged a mattress in a squat from a bunch of drug addicts? It wasn't hard for him to be startled awake. Yet it wasn't anything they did,

Okay that? Was really really weird. Even in the weird relationship realm of the world. Shinjiro was starting to wonder if something was off about his friend now. Did one of the guys offer him something? Aki wasn't that stupid. So, what the hell?

Shinjiro tried to wiggle squirm move away, looking a little confused. He felt stupid in clothes much too big for him - the pants were almost falling off his hips, thank god for belts. He stuck his hands in his pockets, though, looking Aki over.

"You feelin' all right, Aki?"

Akihiko was disappointed when Shinji squirmed away from him, wrapping his arms around himself again and rubbing up and down slowly. The feeling of the soft fabric on his skin made him shiver.

"Yeah...I'm feeling good. I was just laying around in bed, snuggling in my covers and checking my phone when you posted," he said with a slightly sheepish smile. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You're acting really fucking weird," Shinjiro said, watching his friend rub his arms, shivering. Not like he was cold. But like it felt good. He didn't know a lot about the community, but he did know about what certain drugs did to people. Amplifying sensations. But Akihiko was straight-laced as could be.

Still, when he talked about just lying around in bed like that? It didn't sound like Aki, not at all. Shinjiro narrowed his eyes and walked forward. If he found out some strange creep slipped Aki something, he was going to break someone's face in, even if he was a girl. He didn't give a shit. Surely he couldn't be that much weaker.

Shinjiro reached forward to touch Aki's face, to take a look at his pupils. "Hold still. You act like you're tweakin out or some shit."

"Hmm..." Akihiko hummed and shut his eyes as Shinji caressed his face, a soft smile coming to his face. He leaned forward again, sliding his arms around his lover and pressing in close.

"I don't do drugs," he said, more than a little defensively. "I haven't taken anything. Why would you even think that?"

He reddened. "I do feel a little weird, though..."

And, really, Akihiko's eyes weren't bloodshot at all. A little dilated, yeah, but that might be normal. Or something. His skin felt normal too, and he didn't seem like he was sweating. Shinjiro snorted, feeling a little relieved.

"I know that," Shinjiro assured him, though his voice would have been gruff as a boy. As a girl? It just sounded, well, weird to him. "You're straighter than a board. But some fuckhead might have done somethin. I dunno. What else explains ..."

He saw how Aki hummed when he rubbed his face, that soft smile. It couldn't just be that it was Shinjiro doing this. But he didn't get it. Why was his friend reacting this way? For now, he ignored that it felt weird and nice at the same time to be held by someone larger than him. He ran his thumb over Aki's cheek again, trying to think.
