exams are finally over
Len followed Kaito back home that evening. The leaves were beautiful shades of red, orange, gold, they flew around our protagonists like birds.
Really, it would have seemed romantic if the two were walking side-by-side instead of in a line, and if they didn't have quite as sly looks on their faces.
There was also the fact that one out of the pair was nude.
The taller stopped abruptly, just remembering this fact. He removed his coat and turned to face the blond.
"Since we're going to my flat, you should, ah, take this and put it on."
Kaito cleared his throat and shoved the bundle of fabric at the shorter.
Len took the piece of clothing with a short laugh and a quirked eyebrow. The taller of the two furrowed his pair.
"What?"
The blond smirked, tail swishing to the side.
"I was waiting for you to remember that I was naked."
He put on the coat, only leaving the top button undone. He grunted a bit.
"I can't really move my tail." The fox fussed with the back for a second, before giving up.
"Eh, whatever." Len started walking, overtaking the blue.
"Where is your flat anyway?"
Kaito quickly caught up to the shorter, grabbing his hand and almost dragging him.
"Just follow me. I'll show you where it is."
The walk to his apartment was long. Twenty minutes worth of walking long, and Kaito was holding his hand the entire time. Len was glad that his feet had pads on them to protect him.
"Couldn't you have just taken a bus?"
Kaito turned to look at him.
"I like walking." He shrugged and stopped in front of a tall, white and green building. They stepped inside.
The lift lobby was average. Un-pristine tile flooring. Kaito pressed a button. Seventh floor. Time to wait.
Len was staring, soaking in little observations of his partner. His blue hair was swept to one side, his eyes were blinking just a little too much for it to be normal, and he was drumming on his leg.
He was kind of pretty.
It was then when the lift reached the first floor, announcing its arrival with an obnoxious ding.
Before the shorter had time to restart that train of thought, his wrist was grabbed and he was dragged into the elevator.
Time to wait. Again.
Len was suddenly aware of every single one of his mannerisms. Was he standing weird? Was he twitching a lot? Did he look weird? He didn't know.
He also didn't know why he suddenly cared.
It wasn't like he wanted Kaito to be his mate.
…Yet.
Okay, Len thought. You're being weird. By that I mean extra gay. Like, even more gay than usual. And that's a feat of nature, if I say so myself. Anyway, he is attractive, both physica-
Ding!
Of course, saved by the bell. Both Len and the author sighed in relief. If not for the elevator coming to a stop, we would have been subject to an eight-page essay on his feelings in the present moment.
Anyway, back to reality(or was it fiction?). Kaito reached to grab him again, aiming for his hand this time, and he hit his target.
Warm, Len thought. And very, very gay, said another part of him.
So he was dragged through a corridor and into an apartment without realising because instead of thinking of where he was being pulled to, he was thinking about who was doing the pulling.
He wondered what those large, warm hands would feel like pinning him down…
Haha, as if.
He was so preoccupied with simultaneously imagining gross sexytime and kinkshaming himself that he didn't even notice when he was shoved into a small apartment. In fact, he got startled when he realised where he was.
He saw Kaito smirk out of the corner or his eye.
"Not paying attention?"
Len tried to convince himself that his sudden cocksure attitude didn't turn him on even more. And he couldn't say that he didn't find that cocky smile attractive.
Kaito raised an eyebrow.
"Have you already forgotten why you're here?"
Len gulped and looked to one side, breaking out of his stupid daze.
"Um…"
The human's smile widened.
"I'm supposed to gain your trust," Kaito took a step forward, backing him into a corner.
"Remember?"
Len looked up at him, suddenly very aware of the thirty centimeter difference between them.
And it seemed to be getting smaller and smaller…
They kissed.
