Kagiura reaches for Hirano's hands. With a touch of their fingertips he wordlessly asks for his ten seconds. Hirano simply grunts in response. Kagiura interwines their fingers. "One...two...three..." He run his palms over Hirano's hand. "Four...five...six..." He lifts Hirano's hand up to his cheek and nuzzles it. He stops counting aloud. The only thing that can be heard are the two boys' breathing.
"Oi. Kagi-kun, I think it's been ten seconds now," a blush starts to form on Hirano's face as he tries to gently remove himself from Kagiura's hold. Kagiura just holds on tighter.
"Please... just a little bit longer. I can skip tomorrow for compensation," he breathes out, looking at Hirano with desperation in his eyes. Hirano can feel Kagiura's breath against his hand. His heart stutters with every exhale, his own breath slightly hitching.
He hesitates, but stutters out a "fine, whatever." In response, Kagiura takes Hirano's other hand, tugging him closer. He lowers his head onto Hirano's shoulder, and closes his eyes.
He whispers the faintest "Thank you, Hirano-san." Hirano simply hums in response.
They stay like that much longer than ten more seconds. Hirano doesn't seem to mind.

"Kagi-kun, if you keep asking for more time, we can just make it more than ten seconds, you know."
"W-what?! are you serious?"
Kagiura's face is buried in the crook of Hirano's neck, so Hirano lets himself be embarrassed. He puts the back of his hand against his own cheek, as if checking for a fever. He's blushing. Good grief.
"Yeah. I mean, ten seconds isn't that long, what's a couple more gonna do?"
"One minute."
"Fuck off."
"Thirty seconds?"
"Ngh— fine, I guess."
Kagiura grabs Hirano by the shoulders and looks at him like he bought him a car or something. "Thank you Hirano-san!!" he says with sparkling eyes, and squeezes Hirano in a tight hug. Hirano fights back a blush. He lightly pats Kagiura on the back.
"Yeah, okay, whatever.”
