Kugushiba's Hidden Love: A fic of Secrets

Chapter 4: Secrets Beneath the Surface

As the second day of the training camp began, Kuguri and Shibayama found themselves growing closer with each passing moment. Their shared room had become a safe haven where they could express their affection more freely, but they still needed to be discreet.

Shibayama had experienced a bit of fatigue from the activities of the previous day, but he brushed it off as typical training camp exhaustion. He had a few "kitten bites" on some parts of his body, souvenirs from their secret rendezvous. Fortunately, they were discreet enough that no one would suspect anything unusual.

Kuguri, too, had his own hidden reminders. Unnoticeable scratch marks adorned his back, marks of their passionate moments together. They were like a secret language, visible only to those who truly knew what to look for.

Throughout the day, they maintained their roles as rivals on the court, exchanging the occasional intense glance that was loaded with unspoken promises for the night. No one suspected that beneath their competitive exteriors, they were bound by a love that grew stronger with each passing day.

During a break, Shibayama pulled Kuguri aside, his voice hushed, "Nao, do you ever worry that someone might find out about us?" He said while holding Kuguri's face

Kuguri, looking deep into Shibayama's eyes, replied with a reassuring smile, "I do, Uki. But our love is worth the risk. When the time is right, we'll face it together." Kuguri said as he leaned in to give Shibayama a quick kiss.

Shibayama nodded, their hands briefly touching, a shared understanding passing between them.

The day continued, and their teammates remained oblivious to the true nature of their connection. Nekoma and Nohebi continued their training, pushing each other to the limit, while Kuguri and Shibayama found stolen moments to be alone together.

As night fell and the exhaustion of the day set in, Kuguri and Shibayama retreated to their shared room once again. Their hidden love story continued to unfold, a passionate secret that bound them together, their unnoticeable marks serving as a testament to their intense connection.

In the days that followed, the training camp brought its own challenges and surprises. The decision to reveal their love still weighed on their minds, but for now, they cherished the stolen moments they had and the unspoken promise of a future where they could be together openly.
