My Addiction

Chapter 6

Momiji's caramel eyes opened to be met with the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Haru was still asleep next to him, a peaceful almost happy look on his face. Their legs were entwined, the ox still holding him close to his chest. Momiji smiled the feel of Haru's warm breath on his face surprisingly pleasant.

Gently, Momiji slipped out of bed, watching as Haru stirred and buried himself further under the covers. Rooting around on the floor, he pulled on Haru's shirt which nearly reached his knees and padded quietly into the living room. He picked up a book from the carnage still on the floor and curled up in a chair, waiting for Haru to wake up.

When the ox woke a few hours later the pleasure and happiness he had felt the night before vanished in second as he realised the bed next to him was cold and empty once again. He reached over and took the pillow, pressing it to his face and breathing in the rabbit's scent that still lingered there, thickly. Tears formed in his eyes as his head was filled with Momiji.

A muffled giggle from the living room caught his attention. Haru threw the pillow away, stood and ran for the door, his heart filling with hope. He felt he could explode with happiness when his gaze landed on the younger male. Momiji was sat sideways in a chair, knees brought up, a book resting against his legs. Haru's shirt looked far too big on him and, in the ox's opinion, covered far too much of the beautiful boy.

Momiji looked up, smiling happily when he saw Haru standing there. "Good morning Haru!" he called cheerfully, going back to his book.

"M-Morning M'iji," Haru replied, glad the rabbit couldn't see his blush. He turned his back and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Momiji glanced up over his book and watched Haru's strong back disappear. In truth he hadn't been reading but trying to remember the previous night's activities. He had heard Haru groan as he woke up and knew he would be upset that he had woken alone. He had wanted the ox to know he was still there for him so had pretended to laugh at something he had been reading to get the older teen's attention.

Silently, Momiji slid the book onto the floor, stood and stretched, Haru's shirt riding up to his waist. He crept towards the kitchen, picking his way through the broken bits of glass, wood and other rubbish. He stopped right behind the taller boy, wrapping his arms gently around his waist and nuzzling his face into the ox's back.

Haru jumped slightly when Momiji's arms crept around him but smiled at the feel of the rabbit being so close.

"Haru…" Momiji murmured, voice slightly muffled. His breath ghosted across the ox's back and the black and white haired boy had to suppress a groan and a shudder.

"Yes M'iji?" Haru asked, trying to act calmly and popping a couple of pieces of bread into the toaster.

"I-I've been thinking…" I blush was forming on the rabbit's cheeks and he tried to hide his face further into Haru's back. "I-If this is going to be a long term thing… then… then would it be a good idea if… it I moved in here?"

Haru removed the hands from around his waist and turned, holding the rabbit by the shoulders, looking into his face. He was holding back a smile but deep inside he was grinning like an idiot. Being close to Momiji was the one thing he wanted most and if the golden haired angel before him moved in with him… Life was starting to look a whole lot better.

"Are you sure M'iji?" Haru asked, wanting to make sure that the rabbit was ok with this. "I don't want you to feel forced into doing this. I don't want you doing anything you don't want to do."

Momiji's head lowered and he looked up at Haru though his golden fringe. "I want to Haru. I want to move in with you. I want to help you."

'I want you.'

Haru allowed the grin to spread across his face as he raised Momiji's chin with his finger. "Then I'd love for you to move in with me."

'I love you.'

The couple embraced, feeling closer to each other's hearts than ever.
