Kaleva is adorable. Dangerously transparent, but adorable. 

After dinner he smiles and thanks them both again and goes back to his own room and flops on his bed and wonders what the everloving fuck just happened. 

Kaleva is a really, really good teacher. He never seems to get bored, has a gift for explaining things so people can understand them, and is clearly so interested in whatever he's talking about that it rubs off and you're excited by it too. 

Over the course of the next few weeks, Kaleva's smiles change from "Sasha is very pretty" to "Sasha is personally responsible for every good thing in the entire world and I want to bask in his reflected glory." (The latter is also the Chen smile.)

That's… 

He really needs to find a word for Kaleva other than "cute," this might be Auradon but calling other gang members cute tends to not end well. But it's really cute, and also kind of sad, and if this were the kind of situation where sharing food was a relevantly important gesture Sasha would bring him an apple. 

He keeps spending time in Chen and Kaleva's room. He keeps watching the way they interact with each other, the way Chen's face goes soft when Kaleva gets excited and the way Kaleva beams whenever Chen says something positive. He keeps not being ordered to the floor even once, which after a while passes through confusing and transitions into being frustrating, because Chen is really very well-built and Sasha's willing to bet he has a gorgeous cock. 

Auradon continues to be confusing, but being part of Chen's gang is largely succeeding in getting people to leave him alone, and having Kaleva is helping him in class, and he can still tune out Safety Rules For The Internet, and it's still obvious which answers they want in Remedial Goodness, and life is pretty good. 

Sharing food is totally a relevantly important gesture in Auradon, as Sasha will find out when Kaleva shows up at his dorm room wheeling a large box of shelf-stable food. 

"Kaleva," and he has no idea how to end that sentence. He puts the box under the desk he doesn't use anymore anyway and — he still hasn't been asked, maybe Auradon is different, maybe he should be careful — kisses Kaleva. 

Kaleva freezes up for a second, and then kisses back. 

He is abjectly terrible at it. 

Sasha reaches up to curl his hands in Kaleva's hair and pulls his head so it's at the right angle and bites — lightly, testing the waters — on Kaleva's lip. 

Kaleva moans into his mouth and starts running his hands through Sasha's hair. 

That's better. 

(Sasha is acutely aware that his roommate could come back to their dorm at any point, and having Harry and Kaleva in the same room at the same time is....not a good plan. But. Kaleva's hands in his hair.) 

"Well, helloooooo~~. What do we have here? When Chen's away his toys will play."

And....there he is. Of course. 

"Chen's getting as much of me as he cares to," Sasha says lightly, like the implication is in fact true and like the entire situation with Chen isn't still deeply confusing. There's no reason Harry needs to know otherwise. His face is still less than three inches away from Kaleva's, and his hands are still in Kaleva's hair. "I can thank Kaleva properly, can't I?" That comes out sugary-sweet and only-halfway-teasing. 

"Well, don't let me stop you, Sasha. You didn't before."

what

is going

on

Yeah okay sometimes you just have to commit. 

"Just go with it," he whispers to Kaleva, and then kisses him again, deeper this time, tugs on his hair and presses one thigh between Kaleva's knees. 

Kaleva makes a very undignified noise, like he's about to protest, but Sasha's mouth is on his and his hands are in his hair and his thigh is between his legs and it is really hard to think right now!

"Oh, bravo, bravo, A for effort, little Sasha. You've got him wrapped around your finger. Can I assume you have Chen equally well in hand?"

He turns to Harry but keeps a hand in Kaleva's hair, keeps his grip gentler than it looks. 

"Have you never, once, in your entire life, learned how to keep your mouth shut?" He turns back to Kaleva, kisses him one more time, short and shallow with no affection at all. "C'mon, Kaleva, sweetness, wouldn't you rather be somewhere we won't be interrupted?" 

Kaleva has no idea what's going on but he can recognize a leading question when he hears one. 

"Yes?"

"Now, why would I do that, if I keep my mouth open someone might shove a cock in it."

Ignoring Harry is easier than not doing that and in this instance probably less costly. 

He smiles at Kaleva (pleased, approving, not affectionate) and takes Kavela's arm and leaves the room, shuts the door firmly behind them and walks quickly (doesn't run, if you run people wonder what the hurry is) down the hall. 

Kaleva follows him. "What is going on?" he whispers.

Auradon. 

"As far as I can tell Harry only speaks one language — I was trying for an obvious enough show of 'this person is mine and also I've got enough protection that I'm not afraid of you' that he wouldn't fuck with you too much but if you can avoid him it'll be better for everybody." 

"You kissed me!"

Chen's at tourney practice at the moment but Kaleva and Chen's dorm is still probably the safest place they can go. 

"If I'd known he was about to walk into the room I wouldn't have." 

"That's not the point!" Kaleva whispers even though the hallway is totally empty. "Guys aren't supposed to kiss other guys. I think."
