Shuriken // PHIGHTING

The Phight didn’t go as intended. First off, the news channel that Vinestaff put on every day while Shuriken and Slingshot woke up and ate breakfast. The channel was there to help wake the two up—Vinestaff knew that she was the only morning person in the house and how slow the others were to wake up, a channel on the television that’d tell them what’d happen that day would be helpful. Shuriken remembered just grabbing a bar and nibbling on it—didn’t feel hungry.

The channel said it’d be cold and rainy. Him and both his siblings had the Phight and wouldn’t cancel over some breeze and drizzle. It’d be fine—almost all the Phighters had phought in extreme conditions before like snow, harsh rain and heat that made them feel like they were melting. The Phight had only been called off twice; once to a hurricane and once to hail the size of tennis balls. Shuriken was fine, just put on some extra layers.

When him and his siblings got to the intermission, they immediately went to the locker room to change and put an extra layer on underneath of their Phighting clothes. Shuriken saw the sky—dull and grey, it would definitely rain during the Phight. And when the first round rolled around, he was right. Rain bat down on the shifting shapes of the Phighters, cold wind gripping their noses and the tips of their ears. For some Phighters, they were used to it or naturally wore thicker uniforms for Phighting, but some didn’t heed the news’ warning, and were now sopping and cold.

However, the sky cleared quickly. There wasn’t enough time to take off those two extra layers that Shuriken had put on, though a few inphernals just tossed their jackets, hoodies on the ground in intermission and hoped that none of the other Phighters would take them. Shuriken, however, put the layers under his top and under his bottoms, so he’d have to strip down to his boxers to get out of the spare layers. The wind was gone, rain going from stormy to a gentle spit, before it parted entirely. Shuriken was the only inphernal still wearing those extra layers that had been slapped on before the match.

By the time the Phight was over, he was pent up from being targeted—Ban Hammer noticed Shuriken slow and dragging from the heat and sweat clinging to his inner layer, so he so politely yelled out to his team to target Shuriken. They did, and his team lost because of him. Did the news say that the weather’d change that quickly? How come Vinestaff wasn’t dragging even when she was wearing, what—three layers? Maybe she signed up for one too many summer matches and was used to it.

Shuriken felt hot—warm under his skin from the heat, and the sweat that made his layers go from damp and sticky to sopping and trailing down his legs made himself feel even hotter. Deities, he reeked. When he lumbered back to the locker room to change—maybe even shower—Ban Hammer shoved his side and taunted his idiotic choice to wear so many layers. Shuriken ignored him, glancing over at the three showers, hoping one was open-aaand they were all occupied. Shuriken sighed, watching the other inphernals switch into their day clothes, already debating which pub to go to afterwards.

He kicked his shoes off after everyone left, taking off one shirt, then two, then the thin undershirt he always wore. He dropped it against the side of the bench with a wet slap. Shuriken wrinkled his nose, eyes watering slightly as he tugged down his pants, then the smaller ones underneath, wearing only his boxers and his socks. Shuriken sighed, head falling back. He didn’t even acknowledge the scent—he’d grown used to it over the past sweaty three hours.

Shuriken swore everyone left. The adrenaline under the Phight turned him imprudent, one hand rubbing against his half-hard cock through his underwear. He groaned softly, stopping for a moment before cracking his knuckles and pulling his boxers down around his thighs, his dick half-hard from the leftover, buzzing energy of the Phight. Shuriken angled his ears down, closing his eyes as he gripped the shaft, starting a rhythm. He should’ve been somewhere more private. He should’ve been in one of the stalls, or in one of the showers.

He knew he should’ve—he didn’t care. Or he thought he didn’t. He didn’t even hear the small, almost inaudible click of footsteps walking from the locker room entrance to the main part with all the lockers, biting his lower lip shakily as he squeezed himself. A shaky moan slipped from his lips, eyes closed and heartbeat thundering in his ears, muting any other sounds. Deities, he was nude, he’d kicked off his underwear subconsciously—he couldn’t even explain himself if someone did, hypothetically, walk in. What, I got distracted when I was getting dressed? That wasn’t an excuse.

Shuriken sped up slightly, keeping himself on the edge with his muscles tensing and stomach rolling. His hips were bucking bluntly into his hand, the odor was even worse now that he was fucking himself. Shuriken cracked his eyes open as another whimper escaped him, immediately stiffening and stopping when he saw an inphernal instead of an empty locker room. He just barely recognized the shape and color of their horns through the foggy, half-white vision that was plaguing his mind. {{user}}. Shuriken stopped, shaking his hand off slightly as he closed his eyes, hoping he was imagining things. He wasn’t. "A-ah..h-hi, {{user}}..mmh.." Shuriken stuttered, voice raspy and a bit breathy.
