Giyuu picked up the phone and answered with a slightly irritated tone. "What is it, Shinobu?" Shinobu's voice came through the phone, cheerful and oblivious to Giyuu's mood.
"Giyuu! I need you to come over after class. I found something interesting." Giyuu sighed and looked to his watch. "Fine I will come." Shinobu giggled mischievously.
"Great! And bring Sanemi too. This concerns him." She added before hanging up, leaving Giyuu confused and Sanemi raising an eyebrow. Sanemi looked at Giyuu suspiciously. "What did she mean by 'this concerns me'?" He asked, a sense of foreboding creeping in. Giyuu shrugged, equally puzzled. "I have no idea. But we should probably go find out."
He started the car, heading towards Shinobu's place with a sense of dread. "We should go to our classes." Sanemi nodded in agreement, though he was still curious about Shinobu's intentions.
"Yeah, classes first. Then we'll deal with whatever Shinobu has planned." The rest of the drive was quiet, both boys lost in their thoughts about what could be waiting for them later. They arrived at campus and parted ways to their respective classes, with a silent agreement to meet up afterward. During class, Sanemi found it hard to concentrate, his mind constantly drifting back to Shinobu's mysterious message.
He kept checking his phone, hoping for a text from Giyuu saying they didn't have to go see her. After what felt like an eternity, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of class. Sanemi quickly packed his things and headed towards Giyuu's classroom. He spotted Giyuu walking out, looking just as anxious as he was. "Hey, ready to face the music?" Sanemi asked jokingly, trying to lighten the mood despite his own unease. Giyuu sighed and took Sanemi's hand.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Let's get this over with."
They walked together towards Shinobu's dorm, tension palpable between them. As they approached Shinobu's door, Giyuu knocked hesitantly. Shinobu opened it with a wide grin, ushering them inside. "Finally! I've been waiting for you two." Sanemi stepped in cautiously, eyeing Shinobu's excited expression.
"What's this all about, Shinobu? And why did you need both of us?" Shinobu led them to her living room where a laptop was set up on the coffee table.
"You'll see. Just sit down and watch this video."
She gestured to the screen, her smirk growing wider. Sanemi and Giyuu exchanged worried glances before reluctantly sitting on the couch. Shinobu hit play on the video. The video showed Sanemi and Giyuu making out in their room yesterday night.
Shinobu watched them intently, clearly enjoying their reactions. Sanemi's face turned bright red as he watched himself practically devour Giyuu on screen.
"You... you installed a camera in our room?!" He growled at Shinobu, his anger rising. Shinobu laughed, completely unfazed by Sanemi's anger. "Yep! I was curious about your relationship, and I got some pretty interesting footage." She paused the video at a particularly intimate moment. Giyuu buried his face in his hands, mortified by the situation.
"Delete that right now, Shinobu. You can't just spy on us like that." Sanemi stood up, towering over her with a threatening glare. Shinobu raised her hands defensively, still grinning. "Relax, I won't show anyone else. But you two are quite the pair, aren't you?" She teased, winking at Giyuu who looked like he wanted to disappear. Sanemi clenched his fists, struggling to control his temper. "You're dead if you ever breathe a word of this to anyone else."He threatened, his voice low and dangerous. Shinobu smirked at the threat, knowing she had them both wrapped around her finger.
"Oh, I won't tell anyone. As long as you two behave and stop fighting all the time." Sanemi gritted his teeth, knowing he had no choice but to comply. "Fine. But this stays between us." He turned to Giyuu, who was still hiding his face.
"And you, don't even think about denying it." Giyuu peeked through his fingers, looking at Sanemi with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
"I wasn't going to deny it, idiot." He muttered, causing Shinobu to giggle. She clapped her hands together excitedly. "Good! Now that we've established that, I have another proposition for you both." Shinobu leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Since you're clearly more than just roommates, I want you to act like a real couple in public. For my entertainment." Sanemi's jaw dropped in disbelief, while Giyuu looked even more mortified. "Are you serious? You want us to pretend to be a couple for your entertainment? No way in hell." Shinobu pouted playfully. "Aw, come on! It'll be fun. And if you don't, I might accidentally let that video slip." Sanemi looked like he was about to explode with rage. "You're blackmailing us now? That's low, even for you."
He shot a glance at Giyuu, silently asking for his input. Giyuu sighed heavily, knowing they had no choice but to agree. "Fine. We'll do it. But just in public, and it ends when you say so." Shinobu clapped again, delighted with their submission. "Perfect! I'll give you a list of places to 'date' at. And remember, act convincingly." Sanemi ran a hand through his hair in frustration.
"This is so messed up. I can't believe I'm agreeing to this." He muttered under his breath, then turned to Giyuu with a resigned expression.
"We're going to look ridiculous." Giyuu shrugged, trying to maintain his composure. "Better than having everyone see that video."
Shinobu pulled out her phone, already typing notes."I'll text you both the details later. Oh, and don't forget to hold hands!" Sanemi's face turned red at the mention of hand-holding. "Hold hands? Seriously? This just keeps getting worse." He looked at Giyuu with a mix of annoyance and something else - maybe reluctant acceptance. Giyuu smirked slightly at Sanemi's flustered state.
"Don't worry, I'll try not to make it too obvious how much I hate it." Shinobu chuckled, clearly enjoying their discomfort. Sanemi crossed his arms defensively. "You better not. I'll make it worse for you if you do." He shot back, though there was a hint of playfulness in his tone.
