"So tired, Kaoru," Hikaru murmurs to his brother as they're driven to dinner by a possible business partner. He's talking about his family and like they could ever care about something that had nothing to do with business. He's so wrapped up in talking; he doesn't notice his audience isn't listening.
Business trips are so exhausting. It's times like these where they wish to just abandon their company and leave it to the crows. They won't and they don't really want to. They're just tired and they need to be home.
The dinner is probably good, this restaurant has had great reviews after all, but they can't really notice. They're just too tired to really taste anything and the quicker they're done with dinner, the better. As they walk back into the limo, the same man talking on and on about who even knows what anymore, Hikaru cuddles closer to Kaoru. They're not supposed to touch much in public, but it isn't like the man is paying any attention to them. They could be making out and that man would probably be talking about yard gnomes.
After another half hour of the man talking, Hikaru tells him to shut up with a grumble because they'll take the damn deal and they could care less about his cute little dog that's won awards. Kaoru pushes him off of him after that, punishing him for being a little too rude to somebody so important, but it's okay because at least they can just go home now.
As they make their way to their room, tired and yawning and way too exhausted to even think about sex, they smile and slide the cardkey into the slot and stumble into their hotel room. It smells like a hotel too. No matter how many stars, they can't hide the fact they're not really a home. The stiff sheets, the rose-scented pillows, everything. It's all fake.
But that's okay.
They fall into the bed, holding onto each other and just smiling in peace as they drift off into an easy sleep. Their breath mingling and too close to each other than most people would consider comfortable.
It's okay because they are with each other and they are truly home.
Notes: God, this is so corny and fluffy and...man, did anybody else's teeth rot? I've been so busy, but I didn't want to leave the TENTH! chapter off for too long! Fourty more to go! I feel so accomplished.
