Kugushiba's Hidden Love: A fic of Secrets

Extra: A Playful Video Call

A few days after the training camp ended, Kuguri and Shibayama decided to video call each other. They had missed each other's presence, and they wanted to spend some quality time together, even if it was through a screen. Of course, their beloved "child," Mochi, joined them in their virtual meeting.

They scheduled the call during a break, not anticipating that their nosey teammates would decide to eavesdrop. As the video call started, Kuguri and Shibayama exchanged fond smiles as they greeted each other.

"Hello, darling," Shibayama began, a playful glint in his eyes.

Kuguri, equally playful, replied, "Hi there, sweetheart. How's our little one doing?"

Mochi, oblivious to the teasing exchange, simply blinked and nuzzled Shibayama's shoulder.

Their teammates, who were supposed to be on break, had gathered around, curiosity piqued by the affectionate terms and the mention of their "child." They couldn't resist listening in, and their eyes widened as the pet names continued.

Kuguri continued, "Mochi looks so adorable today, doesn't he, love?"

Shibayama chuckled, "Yes, he does, Nao."

The teammates exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe what they were hearing. Kuguri and Shibayama seemed to be taking their teasing to a whole new level, right in front of them.

Kuguri leaned in closer to the screen, his voice filled with affection, "Uki, have I told you how much I adore you today?"

Shibayama, matching his tone, replied, "Not nearly enough, honey. But I adore you too."

The playful banter continued, filled with sweet endearments and pet names that left their teammates utterly flustered. They haven't realized that Kuguri and Shibayama were well aware of their spying, and they had decided to have some fun at their expense.

Finally, Kuguri and Shibayama decided to address their audience. They winked at the screen and said in unison, "By the way, we know you're all listening."

The teammates scrambled in embarrassment, some turning beet red, while others quickly dispersed, realizing they had been caught.

With their audience gone, Kuguri and Shibayama could finally enjoy their video call in peace. They laughed at their teammates' reactions and shared more affectionate moments, promising to cherish every moment they had together until the day they could be open about their love for each other.

And so, their love story continued, filled with smiles, playful teasing, and stolen moments, never hidden beneath the guise of platonic endearments anymore. They knew that their love was worth every secret they kept, and that now they would be able show it to the world.
