He woke up to the sweet smell of coffee, the heavenly liquid bubbling in its pot, his nose twitched at the smell as he rolled over attempting to locate his indigo haired bed mate so he could bury himself in those strong arms. With a start he realized Hajime was no longer in bed, and in fact where he had been was cold a sure sign he had been long gone. He knew the man had to be around somewhere as the coffee was on, quickly sliding on some shorts he padded out to the kitchen only to see Hajime at the bar quietly sipping coffee lost in thought. Toudou took this moment, while he was unnoticed to observe the lean, stoic man. Hajime's long, wavy hair was unbound falling down gently around his shoulder s and snaking down to his mid back. His deep blue eyes were focused not on the present but he could see were gazing at the past, he absentmindedly raised the coffee cup to his slim lips as he took a slow, long sip of the steaming liquid. Toudou smiled sadly, whatever the man was recalling was not from a time of happiness, he saw the lines by his eyes, the way his mouth pulled down; he quietly made to back away from the kitchen when a low voice stopped him.

"What do you see Toudou Heisuke?"

He froze, he hadn't thought he had been noticed "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize" Hajime turned to face him, his eyes still looking deeply troubled "I asked you a question."

"How do you want me to answer that Hajime?" He was growing concerned at this particular line of inquiry.

A smile gently formed on Hajime's face as he got up and walked to stand before Toudou "honestly, I want you to answer honestly."

Toudou usually would have lied to please a customer, but this wasn't just any customer; and he knew any lie he said would be seen through easily. He looked into those deep troubled eyes and took a slender hand in his soft one.

"I see sadness, frustration, regret. There is no doubt your life has not been easy, yet you continue to persevere. I see a man who has overcome many obstacles and who does not give up easily, someone who values his loved ones, and who has sacrificed little but lost much." Hajime smiled sadly.

"And tell me, after seeing me as such do you still find me beautiful?" He said it so low Toudou wasn't sure he had heard him at first.

"I find you more beautiful" he answered honestly, he found the rawness and emotion in the quiet man irresistible. He knew many people put on a happy face but Hajime never hid what he felt because how can you hide something when it's written all over you? He knew that most people probably missed such things, but he had been trained to pick those up since he was young. Mainly because you had to know your clients, and be able to read nonverbal cues to tell if they were lying, going to hurt you, or most of all falling in love with you because after his older brother and the Kazama heir fiasco that became a rule written in stone. Yes, no clients were allowed to fall in love with the staff, but that's not what he was worried about, no he was worried about himself falling for Hajime.

Hajime almost reacted, but quickly schooled his features as Toudou told him he was even more beautiful, not waiting another minute he pulled the smaller man into a warm embrace eagerly hunting his lips with his own. Hajime ran his tongue along the younger mans upper lip, begging for entrance and it was granted. He felt Hajime gently probe his mouth and their tongues began to twine together as their arms wrapped them into each other, he felt Hajime pull away from his mouth and he let out a moan of disappointment to which he heard a chuckle. Kisses were pressed onto his neck and down his chest until he looked down and saw Hajime on his knees in front of him tugging at his shorts, a bolt of realization shot through Toudou as he looked into those swirling depths.

"Hajime, no" he barely got out; he was supposed to be pleasing his client not the other way around.

"I want to" was all he heard as his pants dropped to the floor and he felt a tentative lick on the underside of his member, then a rough hand wrap around the base as the tongue continued to lick the tip. Against his will he moaned, it felt so damn good and the sight of the powerful Yukimura killer on his knees pleasuring him, swimming blue depths watching his every reaction made him inexplicably turned on. Hajime wrapped his hands around his hips and gently squeezed his small cheeks, he sighed as he tangled his hands in the gorgeous hair, pulling it back from the man's face so he could watch. Hajime may not have been experienced but his hesitation and exploration of Toudou's intimate parts was what was turning him on the most; it had been so long since he had a lover who had wanted to take his time to truly learn his body. Hajime was observant, noticing the small things that made his breath catch and then doing them again and again until he was lowly moaning out the indigo haired man's name like a mantra. He felt the two fingers on the side of his face, inching their way toward his mouth; he turned his head and began sucking on them, coating them the best he could. Still standing he spread his legs wider for Hajime, who gently ran his fingers around the edges of his entrance before easing one inside. He shifted uncomfortably as he felt the second one enter shortly after, slowly he felt himself being explored, and he tilted his pelvis slightly, trying to help Hajime find what he was looking for.

"Curl your fingers" he panted out, blue green eyes meeting his lover's deep blue. Hajime slowly did as asked and Toudou felt a jolt of pleasure and let out a lovely moan as his prostate was struck. Hajime, sensing what was happening began to curl and release his fingers in a quick rhythm as he also plunged them in and out of the smaller man earning a string of moans, curses and gasps filling the otherwise silent room. Toudou tangled his hands deeper in the mane of hair as he began to feel his legs shake with the need to have his release, he tried to push Hajime's head away but the man wouldn't have any of it and began sucking him with a vengeance and abusing his entrance even more determinedly. He felt his dick jump in the man's mouth, signaling the end was near; he grabbed the beautiful face of Hajime Yukimura and looked down into it, locking eyes with the man he held his head still as he thrust into that sinful mouth. Hajime stilled, and his eyes shone like sapphires up at Toudou as the young man came, sending salty streams of liquid down his throat he swallowed it and then gently licked the tip of his penis before backing away. Toudou's legs, still shaking, gave out from under him; he hit the floor, landing on his knees in front of Hajime. He was exhausted, mentally and physically as he laid his head on the older man's shoulder, feeling the comforting touch of those rough hands running up and down his back as he still trembled with pleasure, washing over him like waves. He knew Hajime had never been intimate with anyone, he also knew no one but Shinpachi had ever bothered to see to his pleasure, he turned his head to kiss Hajime's creamy white neck, murmuring a thank you as he felt himself being lifted and placed on the couch. A blanket was thrown over him and a few minutes later he was handed a hot cup of coffee, smiling he took it as Hajime positioned himself behind him, he leaned back into the other man's warmth.

"I have to leave soon, Sano and I have business to attend to today" he snaked an arm around Toudou's waist "will you be alright?"

The slight man laughed "I will be fine Hajime-chan" he said trying out the honorific that was meant to express tenderness between lovers. He swore he could almost feel the man go bright red behind him, he truly is beautiful he thought to himself remembering the wildness of the unbound hair, the telltale eyes the need and want to comfort the haunted man.

"Would it be too forward if I asked to see you again?" He asked softer this time, his voice just a whisper as if a feather had just brushed his ear.

"You can always come here, just call ahead so I can make sure to not be tied up."

"Literally or figuratively?" He heard a joking lilt to the deep tenor. He shook his head, and leaned back craning his neck to meet Hajime's face if he rolled his eyes toward his forehead he could see the man slightly.

"Quite possibly both."

"Very well, I will call ahead. I will arrive around seven, would you like me to bring dinner?"

"Is this like a date?" Toudou hedged, taking another sip of coffee.

Hajime laughed then, a deep throaty unrestrained laugh that had Toudou utterly confounded.

"As if I could do anything that would impress you! I am sure you have had many try to sweep you off your feet, no Toudou there is nothing I can do that would do such a feat but" he paused to take a breath between waves of laughter "if you desire a simple dinner and some company who won't try to take advantage of you I can provide that."

Toudou smiled in spite of himself "I think Hajime, that sounds like an excellent way to spend the evening." It was unfortunate that Hajime wasn't in a position to see this smile, because it most certainly reached Toudou Heisuke's eyes.
