Little drabble after the events of the latest episode. My heart is still melted from all of the sweetness in that kiss


Shion gives Nezumi another kiss in the morning. There's no buildup to it, or even a hint of flirtation prior to the action. Shion hands Nezumi a cup of coffee and leans in to kiss him with a small smile on his lips. Nezumi only has time to comprehend the softness of Shion's mouth and the closeness of their bodies.

He stays frozen in the kiss until Shion grasps his other hand, squeezing it. When they break apart, Nezumi takes the chance to look at Shion properly for the first time that day. Unbrushed bedhead, sleepy eyes, old pajamas, and a pillow crease pressed into the red snake on his cheek. Nezumi suddenly feels very lucky for reasons he can't explain.

"What was that for?" he asks, keeping his voice steady, not wanting to lose his temper with Shion again after last night. Shion reaches up and brushes back a lock of Nezumi's long hair, the tenderest expression shining in his eyes.

"You told me not to give you goodbye kisses…or goodnight kisses, because you took them to mean the same thing. That was a good morning kiss. I think it's the nicest kind," he says, trailing his thumb over the bruise he left on Nezumi's cheek from the punch. "How about you?"

Nezumi pauses, stunned once again by Shion's thought process, but relaxes soon after. He laughs as he leans in to press a kiss on the tip of Shion's nose before moving his lips just a few inches south to kiss him. If Shion wants them to be equals, then they'll have to have an equal ratio of kiss initiating. When he pulls away, he sets the coffee Shion made for him down on the table, using his newly freed hand to cup the white-haired boy's cheek.

"I think they're the nicest kind too, Shion."


Don't worry, I'll write more smut for them later
