Secret Message - SemiShira

10

"Oh, um, I need to talk to you,"

Shirabu's POV

Semi sat backwards on the chair, leaning his arms on the backrest. "What's up?" he said, looking at me. I was sitting on a stool, probably belonging to the drum set or something.

I cleared my throat. "So, before I say anything, don't interrupt me by saying something stupid."

"Alright, go on, my kohai," Semi lifted his head.

"Stop calling me that," I looked at him, annoyed. "Anyway, I was thinking about the offer you made..."

"Wait, sorry, what offer?" Semi acted confused.

"Shut up. You know what I'm talking about," I muttered.

Semi chuckled at my reaction. "Okay, so about my offer, do you accept?" He raised a brow.

"Well, yeah... but only because I accidentally blurted out to Kai that I was already dating you, so I don't have to talk about the message," I shot Semi a surprised look.

"Wait, seriously?" Semi looked quite amused.

"Yeah..." I replied, still trying to process what I had just said to him. I had basically confessed without actually confessing.

"Is this a joke, or do you really want to take on this fake dating thing?" Semi still couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Semi! Let's date... fake date," I yelled in a quiet tone.

"Alright then, so we're dating," Semi smirked.

"Yeah... so what do we do?" I sat there, clueless about what to do next

Semi stood up and approached me while I sat there with my hand between my legs, gripping the chair. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as he got closer. What was I getting myself into?

Semi stopped in front of me, his gaze locked with mine. There was a glint in his eyes that made my stomach churn

"Well, since we're dating now, we should probably act like a couple, right?" Semi said, his voice low and playful.

I blinked, trying to process his words. Act like a couple? What did that even mean? I had never been in a relationship before, real or fake. I felt nervousness swirling inside me.

"Um, yeah... I guess so," I replied, my voice slightly shaky.

Semi leaned in closer, his breath brushing against my cheek. My heart raced even faster, and I could feel a blush creeping up my neck. He whispered his voice husky, "Let's start by holding hands. It's a simple and effective way to show our 'affection.'"

My hand, still gripping the chair, twitched nervously. Slowly, I released my grip and extended my hand toward Semi. His fingers interlocked with mine, and a surge of warmth spread through me at the simple touch.

I sat there, him standing over me, holding hands, and I couldn't help but steal glances at Semi. He was smirking as if he knew exactly how I felt at that moment. And maybe he did.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing thoughts. This was just a fake relationship, a charade to fool Kai. But as I sat there, my hand entwined with Semi's, I couldn't deny the strange excitement and anticipation that coursed through me.

Little did I know that this fake dating arrangement would turn out to be more complicated and exhilarating than I could have ever imagined

Suddenly, Semi took a bold step forward, his chocolate eyes locked with mine. Randomly he leaned in swiftly, capturing my lips in a tender, unexpected kiss.

I felt a rush of warmth spreading through my body as my cheeks flushed crimson. With each passing second, my heart raced, a delightful mixture of surprise and delight-filling thoughts. After the lingering moment of the kiss, I looked up at the Semi, his eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and awe.

"Wh-Why did you do that?" I was all crimson but I managed to ask, with my voice trembling slightly. Our hands were still clasped tightly, vulnerability and curiosity filled the air.

Semi leaned in, hid expression soft and sincere, and smiled gently. "Aren't couples supposed to kiss? And you kissed me without consent before to"

"But we're fake dating?? And I only kissed you to cover something up, forget it!"

"No one will believe a couple that doesn't kiss Kenjirou" Semi shook his head, letting go of my hand

"We're alone. There's no one to prove to" I say, clearly annoyed at him

"Practice. You seem like you've never kissed another person before" he grins while returning to his seat

"What did you say?!?! For your information, I have kissed many people before."

"Really?"

"I had many girls back in high school, you know that" I turn my head away from him

"Yeah yeah"

"I don't like you, just so you know" I got up and headed toward the door

"Well the message says otherwise" Semi laughs

"Shut up! Delete that right now" I hurry over to him, trying to grab the phone

"Calm down Shira" He moves the phone around so I can't grab it

I leaned in, close to grabbing it when he pulled my waist and gave me a peck on the lip

"Stop. No. Don't ever do that again" I gave up on trying to get the phone and walked away

"No promises" I can feel his smile behind me

"Curse you Semi!" I muttered under my breath as I left the room
