It Goes Both Ways
Chapter 1 - Marshmallow fluff
"You don't mind a late celebration then, Usagi-san?" Misaki asked, looking at him over the kitchen counter.
Akihiko shook his head and smiled at the young man, who was wearing a frilly pink apron (gifted by Kaoruko, the woman just never gave up) and skillfully flipping a scotch fillet over on the pan with a pair of chopsticks. The steak sizzled and a delicious smell wafted to the living room, where Akihiko was sitting and trying hard to focus on the laptop screen in front of him, and not on the man puttering about in his kitchen. Misaki's cooking if possible, had gotten even better over the years and frankly, Akihiko preferred it over any fancy high-end restaurant.
Akihiko wasn't quite sure when it had exactly happened, but over the past few years Misaki had grown up. It wasn't any sort of a sudden growth spurt, it was more gradual if anything. Perhaps it was due to Akihiko seeing his younger boyfriend practically every day for the past 7 years… sure there was a time when Misaki had moved out after graduation and rented his own place, however Akihiko had taken to crashing over almost every day he had practically lived there. How on earth could anyone expect him to choose to stay at home when Misaki was living just 15 minutes drive away? Not that any of this mattered now that Misaki was back in the nest.
Akihiko scrutinized the younger man who was now setting the table, cheerfully humming a viral pop tune. Perhaps it was the increase in height or the broadening of the shoulders or the slight chiseling of the jaw… or the quiet confidence in his demeanor that Misaki had never shown in his younger years? Akihiko remained the taller and bigger of the two, however he no longer towered over his coffee haired lover - his Misaki had definitely grown up. The crown of his head was now level with Akihiko's nose. Honestly he reminded Akihiko of Hiroki a little bit.
More gorgeous and lovable of course, Akihiko thought fondly. No offense to his childhood friend but to him, those wide emerald eyes beat Hiroki's cinnamon ones any time of the day; Akihiko didn't care less on what Hiroki's doctor boyfriend would have to say on this matter. To each his own, he supposed.
"So is there anything specific you want for your birthday Usagi-san?" Misaki called out again, suddenly appearing beside him, his voice jerking the silver rabbit out of his reverie.
You. Flushing, naked, begging for my cock and declaring your love for me.
Akihiko flashed a handsome smirk, "I'm happy as long as we get to spend some time together Misaki."
Misaki blushed slightly, something that Akihiko suspected was a permanent part of his character that would never change – and planted a chaste kiss on the older man's lips. "I'll plan something, Usagi-san. It might not be as fancy as the celebration you gave me for my birthday though."
"Oh Misaki you know I don't care about extravagant celebrations, I just simply want to spend it with you."

Mid-March finally rolled around and Akihiko was toiling away at Marukawa HQ – Aikawa had dragged him over to the publishing office and watched him like a bloodthirsty hawk, blasting out threats ("If you want the date with Misaki to happen you'd better finish this book!"), until he had typed the very last word of his manuscript - which in Aikawa's defense was already 2 days overdue. Despite that, Akihiko was practically bounding (elegantly) out of the elevator and into the lobby that evening. Today is the day, Akihiko smiled. He couldn't wait to get home.
Stepping out of the automatic front doors of the building, a familiar fancy red sports car suddenly pulled up in front of him and the window rolled down noiselessly, revealing an equally familiar face.
"Misaki?" Akihiko stared dumbfounded at the driver of said car, who was gesturing wildly at him to get in. "Misaki, what are you doing here with my car?"
"Come on Usagi-san, get in! Quick!" Misaki hissed, casting furtive glances at their surroundings. "I don't want to hang around here too long."
Akihiko obediently hopped in the passenger seat before turning to face Misaki again. "Now why are you here and why are you driving?"
Misaki broke their gaze, stepped on the accelerator and opted to watch the traffic in front of him. "Because it's your special day today Usagi-san, so you get me as your chauffeur," he finally answered, blushing a pretty shade of crimson. "Among other things," he added, the heat spreading to the tips of his ears.
Akihiko was pleasantly surprised and felt his heart skip a beat, a smile slowly stretching across his face. "Oh is that so?" he chuckled, reaching for the pack of smokes in his pocket, before rolling the window down and lighting one up. Misaki is being so cute. Although I do wonder how he got the car keys?
Misaki's blush deepened and he cleared his throat, slim fingers tapping the steering wheel along to an imaginary tune. "By the way, I'm sorry for hurrying you just now. Actually I was supposed to monitor Ijuuin-sensei's progress on his storyboard today but I called in sick," he confessed, a guilty look on his face.
Akihiko's eyes narrowed to slits and he huffed in annoyance, "Hmph. Good. If I had my way I wouldn't allow you to see him at all." The damned, sly mangaka had requested Misaki to replace his previous editor (was it Shizuo? Shuuzou? Akihiko can't be bothered to remember) as soon as Misaki was assigned to Japun late last year. The author hadn't taken the news well and had been sorely tempted to have a chat with Isaka, however Misaki then gave him the silent treatment for a week, and hence he'd scrapped the idea.
"Usagi-san, you know I can take care of myself perfectly fine," his younger lover sighed, rolling his eyes. "Anyway, I made all your favorite food - no green peppers as well," Misaki gestured towards the back seat, where a big picnic basket sat with a seat belt fastened securely across it. "I also found a great place for us to see the plum blossoms, not too many people know of it. I know how much you hate crowds," he commented with a sunny smile that showed his cute canine teeth.
It took Akihiko a great deal of self-control to not pounce on his lover and lick those rosy lips right then and there; instead he settled with reaching out a hand and placing it on top of Misaki's head, smiling gently. His boyfriend sure was being extra thoughtful today.
"Thank you Misaki, I can't wait," he replied, eyes bright in anticipation, and he leaned over and pressed his lips against the soft, flushed cheeks.

"Thank you for the meal," Akihiko announced softly less than two hours later, popping the last grape into his mouth. They'd had a fantastic evening so far; the location was rather quiet (they had been able to leisurely pick out an ideal spot), the weather mild with not a single cloud in the sky (save for a small one that's shaped like a bear), and the meal was absolutely delicious (complete with his favorite dashimaki tamago).
Stretching his legs on the plush blanket underneath him, Akihiko leaned back on his elbows, a glass of champagne in one hand, and fondly watched Misaki pack up the utensils back into the basket. There was a mild breeze blowing, scattering random petals around them and the air smelled fragrant. From where they sat, they had a great view of the park and the approaching sunset spilled scarlet rays of sunlight across the sky; it was truly a refreshing break from work.
"How did you come across this place anyway?" questioned Akihiko, languorously sipping from his glass as Misaki spread a wool blanket over their legs and settled to snuggle beside him with a can of beer. He wished he could have a smoke but thought better of it, they were in a public park meant for flower viewing after all. Plus, he didn't want to leave Misaki's side; the handsome rabbit wrapped an arm around his lover protectively.
The younger man grinned and answered, "Ah, Aikawa-san gave me the tip! Apparently this park is en route to one of her author's house." Taking a swig of his beer, Misaki's doe eyes flickered up to look at him and he suddenly giggled, "Usagi-san, this is rare," he said, leaning very close all of a sudden. "You've got sauce on your face," he pointed out, darting a pink tongue out to lick the corner of Akihiko's lips. "Mmmm," the smaller man hummed, eyes half lidded and licking his own lips, "The cream sauce was yummy, don't you think?"
Akihiko sat frozen, stunned at how forward Misaki was being. Nevertheless he recovered quickly, unfurling a customary smirk on his face. "Forgive me if I'm wrong but are you seducing me, Misaki?" he inquired, voice low and silky, the arm around his lover tightening.
Said lover grinned cheekily, "What if I am?" he challenged, his emerald eyes wide and playful, looking almost hazel in the setting sun. There was a tinge of pink on his cheeks, teeth gleaming in the dying sunlight.
Akihiko licked his lips slowly, making sure not to break eye contact and cautioned, "Well then, as you wish, I'm not letting you off easy tonight. Are you ready, Misaki?" His purple orbs glinted almost dangerously.
Misaki plucked a few blossoms off his lap and delicately arranged them into Akihiko's hair, the flush on his face deepening. Looking up at him with heavy-lidded eyes, the younger man breathed into his ear, warm and damp against his skin, "Usagi-san, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"
A fierce involuntary shiver ran down Akihiko's spine and he felt goosebumps prickle his skin when Misaki locked their fingers together, before pressing his plush lips gently to the back of his hand. The rabbit felt his slacks tightening and an uncharacteristic heat spread across his face as he whispered hoarsely, "Take me home right now, Misaki."
Needless to say his boyfriend didn't waste any time fishing the car keys out of his pocket.
Stay tuned for what happens next! :D
