Admit it

Chapter 9: Revenge/Rewards

Title might give you a hint ;)

Saito POV

After giving a full statement to Kondo and Hijikata-sensei, I was allowed to stay in the nurses office to sleep since my head was still buzzing slightly. "Rest easy Saito-Kun. We will send Yukimora and Heisuke to check on you now and again alright?" Kondo said and I nodded. "Thank you Sensei." I said and he nodded.

"Honestly I thought it have been Souji," Hijikata mumbled as he left the room.
"Hijikata-Sensei?" I called and he turned to me, "Please try not to bash Okita-San sir, he may not be the best student but he really is trying to improve on his work, and behaviour." I said and he sighed. "Alright. I'll lay off." He said hopelessly and I thanked him.

Laying back on the bed, I sighed heavily. Alone with my thoughts now huh, that's always entertaining. Closing my eyes, images of the party flashed through my mind and I grimaced at the thought of Kazama, I was quite disgusted at his actions. One because he was drunk, two because of his mannerisms towards Okita-San and three because I look up to him, well used to anyway.

When Okita-San kissed me, I didn't know how to react, I nearly froze solid. Did I respond? Even a little? I can barely remember anything about it, yet it hasn't left my mind since it happened.

My cheeks blushed a dark red; rolling into my side I pushed my face into the pillow, "You bloody dickhead, your making me so confused and angry!" I groaned into the pillow. "Why did you have to do that? Why couldn't you have just punched me in the face and left it there?!"

"Hey Saito," Heisuke said drawing back the thin yellow curtain, I peaked out to him and he grinned, holding my lunch, "Chiz and I thought you want some food and company!" Setting the tray down beside me, I pushed myself up wincing at the stinging in my wrist. "Where's Okita-San? He came in with Kondo-San but he left soon after." I said and they shrugged.

"Don't know, I saw him running towards the sports hall but I didn't see him after." Heisuke shrugged. Please don't do anything stupid Okita-San...

*after school*

Ding dong!

The door bell sounded as I was making myself dinner, setting the knife down I turned the cooker down and went to the door, "Hai?" I said, stopping abruptly as Okita-San smirked and walked in. "Hey Hajime-Kun," he waved slightly. Immediately I noticed his bandaged knuckles. Rolling my eyes and I grabbed his wrist at stared at the bad wrapping job.

"Whoever treated your wounds did it terribly." I said and pulled out a first aid kid, scissors and medical tape. "Yeah the guys at my dojo are hopeless." He laughed but hissed when I unwrapped them. "What were you doing?! Punching a brick wall?!"

His knuckles were purple, cut and slightly swollen. Groaning I went to the freezer, pulled out frozen veg and shoved it into his hands. "Fuck!" He yelled and I glared. "Keep that there till the swellings gone down." I ordered and he nodded, sitting at the table; my open notes and books lay in front of him so he read them while I fixed dinner and instead of freezing half like I usually do, I put it on a plate for him.

"Here," I said quietly and handed him a fork. "Thanks, so you alright after those bastards attacked you?"  He asked, smirking slightly and I nodded slowly. "Yes I'm alright I suppose. Unfortunately I've gained a few bruises and possibly a scar but other than that nothing severe." I said as he chewed his rice. He stabbed at place, chewing the inside of his cheek as I recounted what happened.

"What happened to your hands?" I asked, a fight obviously. "Hit a few guys." He said shortly, "Why? Who? Was it during school? You know you could get in trouble for that Okita-Sa-"

"Hey." He raised and eyebrow, "Okita-Senpai. You know you could get in serious trouble for that, and you've been doing so well these past few weeks you could get suspended f-"

He flicked a vegetable hitting me in the face causing me to jump suddenly, "They deserved it Hajime. They really deserved it." He wiped his mouth, picking up both our dishes and bring them to the sink. "Make some tea and I'll do the dishes as a thanks." He said already pouring the warm water, and mixing the soap.

"Um h-hai." I nodded and began preparing the tea, glancing to the side, I watched as his tough hands gently washes the glasses and plates. The motion almost funny, he's just so rough and tumble it's strange to see him do something so domestic. Okita is a larger than life character, the way he acts, walks even stands just radiates power and strength.

"Enjoying the view?" He glanced over his shoulder at me, gritting my jaw I stared down at the tea intensely while pouring. "I wasnt looking." I mumbled and he chuckled, drying his hands on a dish towel. "....Who exactly did you beat up?"  I said hesitantly.

"The asshole who gave you that scar." He said casually, suddenly behind me. My heart quickened at his closeness, he is literally breathing in my neck! "O-oh, uh t-thank you s-Senpai." I said, my pitch raising as panic gripped me, quickening my breathing as my heart hammered. Get away from behind me!

"I think I deserve a reward, taking on four seniors is very brave," he whispered into my ear. Gritting my teeth, I spun out from him into the centre of the kitchen. His signature smirk plastered on his face, his green eyes watching me closely as I tried to plan an escape route. If I can make
it to the hall I can make it to my room!

"What reward are you thinking of?" I said slowly, creeping at a snails pace towards the door. He darted his eyes towards the doorway, smirking continuously at me. Sliding over, he leant on the door, it clicked shut and I panicked more.

"How about you return the kiss this time." He shrugged and I blushed bright red. "You shouldn't have done that the first time." I said to him and he pouted. "Aw come now Hajime-Kun. Doesn't the hero always get a kiss?" He chuckled and I glared.

"I never asked you to be a hero, or to beat up those jerks." I retorted and he sighed, stepping up and walking quickly towards me. "I'm done playing around. I already said you are mine, accept it." He grabbed my tie, pulling me closer and slipping an arm around my waist.

Shoving against him, I jerked about to escape his grasp to no avail. "Stop! Let go! I'm not yours! I'm not anybody's Souji!" I hit him and he put a hand in the back of my neck, holding my hair so I couldn't move my head.

"Souji!" I squirmed and he laughed. "Why do you only use my name when you're angry?" He laughed and pressed his lips to mine. "MMM!" Jerking my head to the side he groaned. "Hajime." He looked straight at me.

"Why can't you accept me?"
