After Sparring

Training sessions between Banjou and Kazumi could sometimes get quite intense. And, of course, this one was no exception. It had left both of them quite tired, sweating like pigs.

"It's not even that hot today, we might have gone overboard." Banjou said in between pants.

"Yeah..." Kazumi agreed. He had been laying on the floor after they decided to stop for the day. His sweaty hair sticking to his face made him want nothing more than to take a shower.

He sat up with a sigh, but immediately went silent when he saw Banjou taking his shirt off... And his face immediately went red.

It was the first time he had seen Banjou's body so exposed. He had already expected him to have a strong body, given what a meathead he was. But seeing the real thing (especially so sweaty , and with him panting from how exhausted he was)... Was pretty different from just vaguely thinking about it.

Once Banjou was fully shirtless, he looked at Kazumi and raised an eyebrow. "Are you okay? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kazumi snapped out of his thoughts, the burn on his cheeks worsening as he realized his mouth had been hanging open. And even worse, he had been drooling a little! He at least hoped it wasn't enough for Banjou to notice that .

"I-I'm fine!" Kazumi stuttered. "Maybe the heat is getting to me."

"You should drink some water, then. I don't want you passing out from dehydration." Banjou handed him a water bottle.

Kazumi quietly thanked him, then drank 3 gulps of water in one go. Maybe him feeling so weird about Banjou was a side effect of the heat.

That had helped him a little. But he wasn't prepared for what Banjou had pulled next.

After Kazumi had handed him back the bottle, Banjou had started splashing the leftover water on himself. He sighed blissfully at the refreshing sensation.

Kazumi froze, pretty sure his whole face must have been very obviously red from how much it burned.

He then turned around and started making his way to his bike with hurried steps. Banjou might be dense, but even he would notice something was wrong if Kazumi didn't leave soon.

Even his goodbyes to Banjou were hurried, trying as much as he could to not look his way. It was so hard for him to not scream.
