"Kurokocchi, time to wake up!" Kise trills softly, wiggling over onto Kuroko's side of the bed, poking the boy's cheek slightly. "You can't sleep the day away!"

Immediately, Kise feels a sharp elbow digging into his chest and he jerks back. "Kurokocchi! That wasn't very nice!"

The boy doesn't respond, only pulls the blanket closer around him and his puppy, who is more than happy to get more cuddle-sleep time with his master. Kise huffs in annoyance, crossing his arms and glaring at something off in the distance; he doesn't have much more time before he hasanother photo shoot overseas and he wants to spend as much time having fun with his Kurokocchi as possible before he has to leave.

Obviously, his boyfriend has other plans.

Kise is so zoned out that he doesn't notice Kuroko roll over to watch him, eyes still bleary from sleep. "Kise-kun," Kise glances over, still pouting, not caring that he should let the boy get his rest after the eventful day they had. "You should not pout. Your face might get stuck that way." Kise rolls his eyes, still upset, and then giggles softly at the stark contrast between Kuroko's crazy bedhead and the serious expression on his face.

"What is that you find amusing, Kise-kun?" There's a warning in Kuroko's voice, but Kise continues to laugh because Kuroko has a weakness for his smiles- something he's gathered from the two years they've lived together. Kuroko doesn't stand a chance at staying mad when Kise's happy.

Kise takes a moment to look at his boyfriend; the messy sky blue hair, the matching light blue eyes, the slight tilt of his head he does whenever he asks a question, the light pink of his adorable lips, the pale creamy white of his skin... Two years isn't nearly long enough to get used to the sight of Kuroko beside him in the mornings. If he could wake up next to Kuroko every morning for the rest of his life, it wouldn't be enough for him. When it comes to his adorable, gorgeous, sexy, beautiful, cute boyfriend, Kise Ryouta is extremely selfish. He can feel the amusement disappear from his face and a small, content smile takes its place.

"Oh, nothing, just admiring my Kurokocchi." Kise runs a hand through his boyfriend's messy hair. "How does Kurokocchi's hair get like this when he hardly moves in his sleep? What do you think, Nigoucchi?" The puppy glances up at his name and Kise smiles at how Nigou's eyes match Kuroko's. Maybe he should take Nigou on trips with him; then he might be less lonely. "Arf!" The puppy barks, squirming out of Kuroko's hold and diving into Kise's lap.

"I think Nigoucchi needs a walk." Kise says as the dog enthusiastically licks his face. He hears Kuroko sigh and start to move to get up, but Kise stops him. "Don't worry; I can walk him myself. You just sleep, okay, Kurokocchi?" Kuroko looks up at him, surprise apparent in his eyes. "Are you sure, Kise-kun?"

"Of course," Kise smiles, ruffling Kuroko's hair. "I really don't mind. I can even make you breakfast when I get back."

"No, walking Nigou is more than enough, Kise-kun. I do not want you burning the house down."

"Oh, Kurokocchi is such a meanie~" Kise hops out of bed, narrowly missing a jab to the side from Kuroko, and starts getting dressed while he hums cheerfully to himself. "Nigoucchi wave bye to Kurokocchi!" Kuroko watches from the bed, propped up on his elbows, as Kise waves the puppy's paw at Kuroko. Kise tries not to notice that Kuroko is wearing one of his shirts, so it sags down to reveal his left shoulder adorably. He hurries out of the house while deftly putting on Nigou's leash like a pro.

Kuroko stays where he is for a moment after the door shuts, contemplating whether he can stay in bed or not, and finally gets up with a sigh.

Kise cheerfully trots down the street, his happy expression matching Nigou's. Being with Kuroko- even if it's just cuddling him while he sleeps- is more than he ever thought he would get, and it's not fair of him to exhaust the boy too much just because he's missed him so much. Then he feels his cellphone buzz in his pocket.

From:Kurokocchi
To: Kise-kun

I will have breakfast ready by the time you get back, so do not buy anything.

Kise smiles widely down at the screen before tapping out a reply and backspacing and repeating this for enough times that Nigou is straining at his leash.

From:Kise-kun
To: Kurokocchi

Thank you, Kurokocchi; I love you (~^u^)~

Kise shoves his phone back in his pocket, not expecting another reply, but doesn't get more than five feet before his phone is buzzing again.

From:Kurokocchi
To: Kise-kun

I love you too

And so Kise promptly turns around and drags Nigou back home, humming happily and hoping he catches Kuroko while he's still got an apron on. The whole domestic thing drives Kise crazy.
