NicoZi:

Thank you as always for your amazing review my friends =D I hope how they tell the Yukies you find appealing and funny or cute. I'm going to bring in a little more Ran / Tosh moments into the next chapter because of how close they are. You're right the big sister thing really suits her and they're just adorable together.

Toshiro almost didn't want to move the next morning, despite being quite the morning person. He sighed contently surrounded by Yukios scent which seemed to be laced into everything in his room especially his pillows and covers. The scent was warming and comforting and rich and he couldn't help but smile a little. The blonds' arms were wrapped around him and Toshiro grinned when he realised that his boyfriend was a bit of a light snorer. Not so much that it was annoying and certainly he wasn't making the noises right now as he lay on his side, it was during the night when he'd turned onto his stomach for a while and Toshiro had got up to go to the bathroom that he'd heard it. It was more a deep and even breathing than actual snores but the sound was comforting and Toshiro found himself just casually listening as he fell asleep. Now it seemed the blond had wound his arms around him to stop him leaving the bed too early or waking up too soon. They'd not done anything massively sexual the night before given how sore Toshiro was already though they had kissed and then fell asleep cuddled up together. Yukios left arm was slung across his waist and his face was nuzzled into the back of Toshiros neck as the prodigy twisted around to face him. He looked so cute and peaceful as he slept and Toshiro lay watching him for a while until he started to rouse.

'Good morning,' Toshiro smiled at him as he groaned and rolled over.

'S'early,' Yukio mumbled and Toshiro chuckled rolling into his chest and snuggling up against him so that his left cheek was pressed against Yukios right peck.

'You don't even know what time it is yet.' Toshiro chuckled.

'You're awake,' he mused, clearly still half asleep. 'Means s'early,' he mumbled and gave a loud yawn that echoed around the room. Toshiro didn't reply but he chuckled into his side. Yukios arm wound back around him and pulled in him in close, stroking up and down his bare side under the covers. They lay like that for quite some time and Toshiro was sure they both must have drifted off again because next thing he knew it had gone from 8am to 10am and he was feeling like he'd slept too much despite not going to bed until 1am. They'd stayed awake and talked quite a bit about other personal parts of their life. Toshiro had got the weird sensation that Yukio was hiding something from him but each time he attempted to ask more about the blond boys history the questions were diverted back to Toshiro.

'It's time to get up,' Toshiro stretched and yawned. He was feeling significantly less sore today as he turned back around and prodded his lovers' side. He watched as Yukio rolled away from him and pulled the covers up over his head. How he made it to University… like ever was beyond him. Toshiro rolled out of bed and went for a shower, deciding if Yukio wasn't out of bed by the time he came back through he was getting a jug of cold water over his head.

While he was in the shower he thought over the prospect of the Yukies finding out about him. It was only a matter of time and he was sure it wouldn't bother him too much. He'd just be a third party interest, nothing quite as extensive as Yukio himself who was the actual celebrity. Plus when Yukio went back to California everyone would know he was taken. He knew that was a terrible reason for wanting to do it but… it was part of the reason why he wanted to do it so bad. The sound of the shower door sliding open drew Toshiros attention. He blushed a little though he wasn't quite sure why, after everything they'd done two nights ago.

'Hmmm, you look good wet,' Yukio purred in his ear as he wrapped his arms around him and Toshiro felt himself being pulled flush against the blonds chest. 'You were also taking a while so I thought I'd come and make sure you hadn't drowned.' Toshiro rolled his eyes and smiled a little as he played idly with Yukios hands.

'I'm Scottish, we know how to handle rain this is pretty much the same thing.'

'True,' he laughed and the blond was reaching for the soap.

'You're seriously showering with me?' Toshiro asked, watching as he took the soap down off the shelf but hesitated at his words.

'Do you not want me too?' he asked, his voice very serious but he looked a little startled.

'Well,' Toshiro shrugged, 'just seems the kind of thing boyfriends do.'

'Aren't we boyfriends?' Yukio frowned not quite understanding what was going on.

'Just wanted to make sure you thought we were first,' Toshiro grinned and Yukio rolled his eyes as he continued lifting the bar of soap off the shelf. Then Toshiro felt his arms sneak back around his waist from behind. Yukio insisted on helping Toshiro clean himself which he was far too self conscious for and it resulted in a bit of a play flight in the shower where they both nearly slipped before Yukio gave in. He decided it wasn't worth the two of them dying over just so he could run a soap bar over Toshiros ass.

Once they both left the shower Toshiro tried to get changed without being stared at by the blond but it was insanely difficult as no matter where he went the blond seemed to follow him.

'What on earth is wrong with you?' Toshiro asked, half exasperated, half amused.

'Sorry it's your ass, it has me transfixed,' Yukio was staring at it without meeting his eyes and Toshiro just sighed but gave him a view as he bent over to put boxers on. Yukio made a throaty noise which Toshiro pretended to ignore as he went about getting dressed.

'So are you taking me snowboarding today?' Yukio chuckled, he seemed giddy with excitement and was acting a bit like a child.

'Yes,' Toshiro smirked at him, 'so wear something warm and comfortable. 'Before we go though…' he could feel his stomach clenching with nerves. 'I want to talk to you about something.'

'What?' Yukio asked turning to look at him with his jeans halfway up his legs.

'I want… to make us official. I know the Yukies will find out eventually anyway I want it to be on our terms.' He said and Yukio blinked up at him.

'A-are you sure?' he asked.

'Definitely,' Toshiro nodded. He was being selfish, he knew that but he wanted everyone to know that Yukio was off limits especially before he went back to California. 'Would you like to tell them all in todays video?' Yukio thought a bit about it as he finished putting on his trousers then shook his head.

'No I want it to be a less formal video, just something quick and quirky as opposed to a full video.' He shook his head and Toshiro frowned at him tilting his head to the side curiously. 'We can film it tonight.' He winked at him. Toshiro wanted to ask more about it but he got the feeling Yukio wasn't going to let up so he let it go.

'Is that what you're wearing?' Toshiro smirked at him just moments later as they were going to leave the apartment.

'Yes,' Yukio looked down at himself, he was wearing a pair of comfortable looking jeans which should be fine and a long sleeved jumper. Toshiro pursed his lips.

'You're going to be freezing,' he chuckled and Yukio made a face at him.

'I'll be fine, stop mothering me,' he rolled his eyes and the two left.

XxXxX

Toshiro had been right, the moment they stepped inside the frozen indoor ski slopes Yukios teeth were chattering. The Californian boy was not used to temperatures like this and Toshiro led him to one of the indoor shops where Yukio was able to purchase an appropriate jacket that would help him retain his heat. Yukio took Toshiros goggles and fixed some kind of mini camera onto the front of them. Toshiro looked at them and frowned, why did he need a camera? Then he realised that Yukio was also putting one on the front of his goggles that he'd also bought in the store.

'That way when you're looking at me I can get shots of myself and I can also get shots of you.' He chuckled and Toshiro quickly put his goggles on. 'You know they're still going to recognise its you because you've got white hair and you're so tiny.' That remark earned him a playful punch to his arm as they made their way to the beginners slope.

Toshiro took his time showing Yukio his form and helping him get set up on the snowboard that they'd rented. It was just a standard board, nothing special though Yukio was jealously eyeing Toshiros board that had an iced dragon on it and a black and blue colour scheme that matched the rest of his attire.

'You look so cool,' he pouted and Toshiro smirked at him.

'You keep talking like that and people will work it out before we tell them.' He rolled his eyes and Yukio grinned.

'I can edit it out though.'

'Edit what out?-' Yukio stole his lips in an awkward kiss as he had half been turning his head to face him and their goggles collided on their face. There wasn't enough time to make it passionate as they both burst out laughing and quickly glanced around to make sure no one saw them. There were only a few people here at this time as the schools were still on and the people who were there weren't paying them any attention.

Toshiro watched as Yukio demonstrated getting his boots strapped into the snowboard and standing up on his own. Once Toshiro was satisfied he wouldn't fall down he pulled his goggles down his face and demonstrated how to get from the top down the bottom.

'Now, just copy exactly what I did, bring yourself around and let the gravity pull you down.' Toshiro called back up to him. It was a small slope and Yukio got about a foot down the hill before he lost his balance and fell onto his ass. At least he fell the right way, Toshiro thought to himself as he pursed his lips. 'Get back up and do it again.' He laughed as Yukio flailed, trying to push himself back up and falling back down again. Toshiro leaned down and unhooked his snowboard before running back up the small slope to save his boyfriend who was laughing hysterically at the whole ordeal.

'I can't move,' he laughed in his sexy Californian accent and Toshiro pretended to scowl at him but really he was just as amused as the blond boy was. He reached out with a gloved hand and took Yukios gloved hand in his yanking him to his feed. 'You know for a short guy, you're really strong.'

'Do you want me to knock you back down?' Toshiro shot back at him. Yukio pursed his lips in amusement but otherwise didn't say anything. He got about another two foot down the hill and fell on his ass again, this time he'd built up enough speed that he continued to slide down the hill on his ass.

'I must look so pathetic to you,' he laughed when Toshiro came to save him once again.

'You do,' Toshiro chuckled, 'its fine though, everyone sucks to begin with. You're not bending your knees for balance.'

'Yeah because when I do that it feels like I'm going to fall over.'

'Well why don't you try it because right now you're falling over anyway.'

'Good point,' he allowed himself to be helped to his feet once again and this time Toshiro kept a hold of him until he was facing the right way and had bent his knees. This time he made it all the way down to the bottom of the hill before falling on his ass. As he skidded down on his bum he pumped a fist into the air.

'Well done,' Toshiro laughed as he came down beside him to pick up his snowboard. 'Let's see if you can make it all the way down this time without falling on your ass?'

'I'm not making any promises but that looks fun,' he pointed to the machine that was used to pull snowboarders up the slope. The first time they'd just walked up the side. The beginners slope wasn't very steep anyway and even though no one was really meant to be on it without a snowboard or skis he was let away with it as a part time instructor.

'Yes, very fun,' Toshiro smirked at him, 'follow me.' He led his boyfriend over to it and they grasped the black poles that pulled them up the hill, Yukio copied exactly what Toshiro did and Toshiro kept turned towards him as much as he could for the camera to capture him. Yes, very fun,' Toshiro smirked at him, 'follow me.' He led his boyfriend over to it and they grasped the black poles that pulled them up the hill, Yukio copied exactly what Toshiro did and Toshiro kept turned towards him as much as he could for the camera to capture him. Yukio was giving adorable little waves and once they were at the top of the hill he forced Toshiro to face forward so he could do a piece straight to the camera.

'Alright everyone? it's Y-Y-Yukio! I'm here at the snow slopes with the one and only Toshiro,' he grinned as he said it.

'Do that again, you look far too happy.' Toshiro interrupted causing Yukio to laugh. 'They're gonna know.'

'We want them to know.'

'I thought you said not in this video.'

'Okay, okay.' He laughed and started again, 'alright everyone? It's y-y-y-'

'Now you just sound miserable.'

'You're impossible to please.' Yukio scowled at him and Toshiro laughed. If this had been about another activity that really wasn't the case and Yukio seemed to catch on. 'Well unless I'm fucking-'

'Okay yes, you've made your point.' Toshiro could feel his face heat up and waved a hand at Yukio to continue in anyway he saw fit.

'Alright everyone? it's Y-Y-Yukio!' the blond said again but seemed in a kind of fit of chuckles that just made him look completely adorable on the camera. 'And I'm here with- T-Toshiro,' he was laughing and Toshiro just shook his head.

'Cut,' he laughed, 'you're meant to be a professional, get it together.'

'You're making me laugh!' Yukio grinned at him and Toshiro shook his head. 'Alright, lemme compose myself.' He took an exaggerated deep breath and burst out laughing again, he pointed at Toshiro and slipped and fell when he wasn't even moving, landing hard on his ass.

'That has to go in your video,' Toshiro laughed at him, 'you weren't even moving. Ladies and Gentleman the biggest twat award goes too…' Toshiro made his way gracefully towards him and glanced down so the camera would get a good view of the blond boy who lay giggling on the ground.

'My ass is wet,' Yukio laughed.

'I'm sure that's a little more than they needed to know.' Toshiro laughed and held out his hand again helping the blond back to his feet. 'Come on, fourth times the charm.'

'Alright everyone? it's Y-Y-Yukio! Today I'm at the Ski slopes learning how to snowboard with the little fluffy white haired instructor Toshiro,' Toshiro gave a casual little way up towards his camera perched on Yukios head. 'How are we doing so far Toshiro?'

'Not good,' Toshiro scoffed and folded his arms across his chest but kept the smile on his face. 'So far your ass has seen more now than the bottom of your board.'

'He's funny,' Yukio scoffed then glanced down the hill. 'We're ready to tackle some slopes.'

'Or the ground,' Toshiro chuckled. 'On you go, I'll be right behind you.'

Yukio went and he fell again on his ass, Toshiro waited patiently and this time the boy was able to get himself to his feet without any help. He turned to give Toshiro a big thumbs up and nearly fell again before steadying himself. Toshiro was trying to keep the stupid love sick grin off his face but he was finding it rather difficult. When his boyfriend finally made it down the slope he turned and asked for Toshiro to follow him and he did. He made it look as easy as breathing and when he got to the bottom Yukio frowned at him.

'Show off,' he muttered and Toshiro just grinned at him.

'What do you think, ready for the bigger slopes?' Toshiro asked him and he puffed out his chest.

'Sure lets do it.'

Tackling the bigger slopes didn't go as bad as Toshiro thought, Yukio only fell a handful of times and his jeans were completely soaked through by the end of it. Toshiro couldn't stop laughing as the blond turned and ran a hand across his soaking wet ass.

'Gods it feels so uncomfortable,' he frowned.

'Tell me about it,' Toshiro rolled his eyes but the joke went straight over the blonds head. He decided to call it a day when Yukios lips started to turn from the delicate shade of pink to blue. They returned his board and shoes but he kept the jacket he'd bought making a mental note to purchase some waterproof trousers to wear should he ever decide to pursue this 'as a career'.

'It must be nice to be able to buy things whenever you want,' Toshiro mused with a smile, 'without having to worry about the cost.'

'Such is the life of fame and fortune,' Yukio chuckled then shook his head. 'But we still have to be careful, though you're right it is nice. Especially because I never really had much before.'

'Oh?' Toshiro stopped in front of him on the street and gazed into his emerald eye. Most of the time he avoided talking about his past life and Toshiro didn't want the opportunity to probe a little deeper slip him by. 'What do you mean?'

'Nothing,' he grinned and shook his head. 'It doesn't matter, hey if you start your own channel you wouldn't have to worry about money either. Seriously I've been thinking and you and Rukia and-'

'Come on Yukio, I don't know anything about you,' Toshiro threw his hands into the air, 'except the lies you told the Yukies.'

'Fine,' Yukio glanced around, 'look let's go and get some food and go back to mine and I'll talk to you but nothing I say goes any further than us.'

'Of course,' Toshiro blinked at him.

When they'd selected an assortment of pizzas to take back to his apartment they made their way back. Toshiro had wanted to go and spend the night back with Rangiku but he didn't want to the miss the chance to get to know more about the blond boy. Rangiku would understand anyway considering Yukios time left in Scotland was quickly depleting.

'So,' Toshiro opened the box of pizza and turned to him, 'talk to me.'

'When I grew up my family were pretty rich, you know that. They money was all made by my mother though and I think my father thought if they had a child she'd pay him more attention. He didn't leave her because he was so used to the life of luxury that she provided for him.' He ate another slice of pizza and Toshiro tilted his head curiously to the side as he watched him. This was different to the story he had heard in his 'draw my life' video.

'She gave him a child but obviously they had one for all the wrong reasons, so I got the blunt of the blame. They were frustrated, she was frustrated with me because I didn't appease my father and he was frustrated with me because I didn't allow my mother to stay.' Yukio put his slice of pizza down and sighed. It was the first time Toshiro hadn't seen the boy actually devouring food like his life depended on it.

'So they used to abuse you,' Toshiro finished remembering the time when Yukio had opened up to Rangiku about it and he'd been present. Yukio shrugged his shoulders and glanced away from him.

'Yeah,' the way he said it made Toshiro narrow his eyes. It sounded like he was on the verge of saying something else, something more.

'Was there something worse?' he asked and Yukio played nervously with the edge of the pizza box.

'Well, my father… because my mother wasn't around… he'd take his frustrations out on me… sometimes that also…' he took a deep breath, 'included his sexual frustrations too.' As these words left his mouth Toshiro froze. Suddenly it made sense, why Yukio would never bottom.

'Oh Yukio,' Toshiro could feel his eyes shining as he scooted closer to him on the couch. 'I'm so sorry.' He nuzzled into his chest and Yukio wrapped his arms securely around him. 'Is that why you can't…?'

'Yeah, I just have too many bad memories.' He nuzzled his face into Toshiros hair. 'I've always wanted to be a part of a big loving family. A family that treats each other the way they're meant too. But I think it's only ever going to be a dream.'

'We kind of have a family just now, you and I, Rangiku, Ichigo, Renji and Rukia.' He smiled and he could feel the blond smiling above him.

'Yeah, anyway happier topics; the youtuber thing… As I said earlier I really think you should go for it.'

'Hey,' Toshiro reached up and took his face in his hands. 'Thank you for telling me.' He leaned forward and pecked him once on the lips, tasting the pizza that he'd been passively eating. Toshiro had a lot more questions, he wanted to ask why his mother never left his father, how he got out of it all but he didn't want to open the channels back up again if they were going to hurt him. It was all in the past now and Yukio was very clearly trying to move on with his life.

'What videos would I do?' Toshiro wrinkled his nose as he continued to nuzzle into his chest. 'I'm not funny or quirky like you and Ichigo.'

'You're definitely quirky,' he chuckled, 'but I was thinking you and Rukia could start a music channel together? You could duet and sometimes perform solo.'

'I don't know I'm not that good.'

'Toshiro you're plenty good.' He couldn't see the blonds' reaction but he was sure he was rolling his eyes. 'The Yukies will love you, why not let me film a video? You could sing the song you wrote for me, they'd love it. We can ask them if you should pursue youtube.'

'I don't know,' his heart was hammering.

'With the money you could come visit me anytime you wanted, you could buy anything you liked. No more Djing in bars where other guys buy you drinks.' His voice was a little salty at that and Toshiro grinned to himself. It was nice to know he wasn't the only one that got jealous. He considered what his boyfriend said and weighed up the pros and cons. He wasn't a very confident person but landing a guy like Yukio definitely made him feel more confident and he didn't want anything to come between them. Still choosing to do something outlandishly crazy that could launch him into some kind of internet fame shouldn't just be done on a whim.

'Alright, we'll do one test video.' Toshiro finally admitted.

'On top of the video we're doing tonight to tell the Yukies who my boyfriend is,' he grinned and Toshiro felt a pool of nervous excitement bubbling in his stomach.

'What video are we doing tonight?'

'A random one, but I want to wait until it's late and hardly anyone will be in the walmart you have here.'

'It's called Asda,' Toshiro said and Yukio waved him off picking back up his pizza and tucking back into it. It was good to see he was getting his appetite back. 'And tomorrow night you're coming to stay at mine and I'm going to feed you a proper home cooked meal.' Toshiro eyed the pizza warily.

'Oh what are we having?'

'It's been a while but I'll make lasagne.'

'Ohhh that sounds nice, I used to love eating packet lasagne when I was little, I couldn't really work the microwave though so it would always be raw in the middle but it still tasted good cold.' He chuckled, 'it was heaps better than the monster munch I used to just get given daily to stop me crying.'

Toshiro had to turn away from him for a moment to hide the welling in his eyes as he bit down hard on his lip. He'd never thought much about a family because he'd suffered so much through so many deaths but then again, being loved and appreciated… there was no feeling quite like it. Maybe one day in the future if they were still together – a guy could dream – Toshiro and Yukio could work on getting a big family and they'd have a chance to fill it with so much love.

XxXxX

Toshiro hadn't really known what to expect when they went to the supermarket later that night. Yukio took his smaller handheld camera and surprised Toshiro by not even doing his usual intro to his vlog.

'What… should I do?' Toshiro asked nervously wondering what to do with himself as he stood there stupidly.

'Just go and do your shopping,' Yukio laughed and waved him off. Toshiro was beyond confused but went and grabbed a basket and started to walk up and down the isles. He started with the vegetables, picking up onions, fresh basil, garlic, celery and tomatoes when he saw Yukio walking towards him with the camera facing him. He frowned, what the hell was he doing? He held up an orange so that it was in shot of the camera.

'Hey Toshiro… orange you glad you're with me?'

'Oh my god,' he rolled his eyes and scowled at him, 'are you fucking serious?'

It didn't stop there, a few minutes later while reviewing his choice of onion the blond appeared again, this time holding up a pear.

'Hey Toshiro… we make a great pear.'

'I am not beyond dumping your ass right now,' Toshiro rolled his eyes and walked away from the man. Seriously, this was his brilliant idea?

'Am I a bit too cheesy for you Toshiro?' he turned in time to get a face full of grated cheese, thankfully it was in the packet and Toshiro caught it as it fell to the floor watching as Yukio ran away laughing hysterically. The next time Yukio found him Toshiro was already scowling before he got a chance to even approach him properly.

'What's wrong honey?' he held up the jar of honey in front of the camera and Toshiro debated hitting him with it. He was worried about breaking the expensive looking camera though so he just glared at him.

'Toshiro, that's a lot of food,' he said pointing the camera down into the nearly full basket. 'There isn't mushroom for anything else.' A packet of mushrooms were added which Toshiro promptly removed and hit him over the head with them.

'You're not funny,' he hissed and the blond just ran away giggling like a child. It took a while for Yukio to show up again after that and Toshiro was wondering if he'd been arrested for bad jokes or something, or potentially filming when he heard the distinct sound of his boyfriends approach once again.

'Toshiro, we're on a roll.' He turned in time to see the packets of rolls being held up in front of the camera and scowled at him.

'You better not turnip here again,' Toshiro frowned pulling a turnip from his basket and holding it up causing the blond to howl with laughter. Yukio held the camera in his other hand and came around into the view of the lens and gave Toshiro a quick peck on the cheek which he was thankful for. He'd have been totally against a kiss on the lips and he felt his face heat up as he put the turnip down where he'd gotten it.

'This is probably your lamest video ever.' He muttered and Yukio chuckled again.

'No way, this is adorable and you know it. That's a wrap,' he held up a packet of wraps in front of the camera and turned it off. 'That won't take long to edit. I can maybe edit it tonight before bed and we can have it go up tonight?'

'Okay,' Toshiro could feel himself getting nervous again and Yukio grinned at him pulling him into his side.

'Hey relax, you're going to be great.' He pecked him on the lips then-

'OH MY GOD ITS TOSHIRO!' both boys jumped and glanced up to see two startled looking girls having a total episode in the middle of the isle.

'I KNEW IT!' one of them screamed at the other, they looked about 15 or 16 years old and Toshiro felt his whole face heat up. They both went for their phones and Yukio quickly sprung in front of them.

'Whoa, hey now, we're going to be putting up a video tonight to reveal this. I'm happy to take selfies with you but you can please leave Toshiro out of them?' he asked.

'Yeah, of course I'm sorry I just got all excited because-'

'WE WON A BET!' the other louder girl called and they both giggled. 'Oh my gosh Toshiro,' she scampered forward and Toshiro felt unease and embarrassed. 'You're even shorter in real life,' she chuckled and he scowled.

'Don't make fun of his height he hates it,' Yukio laughed at her as he took a selfie with the first girl.

'My names Sara,' she said and it was like day and night. She'd gone from loud and a little obnoxious to cute in the space of a couple of minutes. 'We've been huge Yukies for a long time.' She smiled and he relaxed a little, she'd put her phone away as her friend took some pictures with Yukio. 'We hoped it was you he'd gotten with.'

'Thank you,' he didn't really know what else to say, 'I'm glad too.' They laughed and he rubbed the back of his head as Yukio came over and took some pictures with Sara.

'So the video will be up tonight?' she asked and Yukio nodded.

'Yeah in a couple of hours, so feel free to up your bets before the video goes live.'

'Oh that's such a good idea,' her eyes sparkled with mischief and she nodded her head. 'Come on Jill,' she pulled her friend away and the boys made a quick beeline for the checkouts.

'That wasn't so bad,' Toshiro mused to himself and Yukio shook his head.

'Fans aren't so bad, they're just wanting you to notice them and once you do they're quite happy to support you. Most of them don't want to tear you down, they'd rather be remembered in a positive light than a negative one after they've spoken with you.' Toshiro considered his words for a moment before fighting with Yukio to pay for the food shopping.

'No way, you're inviting me around to sleep and you're making me dinner? I'm paying,' he was stronger so he had no problems pushing Toshiro out the way. He scowled up at him and tapped his foot impatiently.

'You have paid for everything the last couple of days,' he snapped.

'Not true,' Yukio grinned, 'I didn't pay for your snowboarding lesson.'

'B-because,' Toshiro let his teal eyes sweep the shop and he lowered his voice, 'because you're my boyfriend.' He hissed at him and Yukio only grinned widely at him.

'Exactly the reason why I'll buy the ingredients since you're cooking it.'

It was pointless to argue with him and Toshiro only gave up trying, accepting it as Yukio put the money into the self scan machine and then they were leaving the shop. The cold night air seemed to cut through Yukio and it made Toshiro question something, he waited until they were in the warmth of Yukios car before he asked.

'You came here to find out about your grandparents didn't you?'

'Not exactly, I just knew they stayed in Edinburgh before they died. I wanted to come here and experience it.' He shrugged his shoulders as he said it, 'and they went to the same university too.' That didn't surprise Toshiro, actually he knew that the University was founded sometime in the 16th centaury and sometimes the heating system also reminded them of that.

'Are you… looking forward to going back to California?' he asked timidly, he was over thinking things and the thought of losing Yukio was making him feel like another panic attack was on the horizon.

'That's a loaded question,' he chuckled and shook his head. 'I miss the sun and my friends, but honestly? I'll miss you guys more. I'm much closer to you and Ichigo than I've ever been to anyone else in my life. By extension I am also really close to Rukia too, Renji and Rangiku I'd like to get to know a little more.' He was thoughtful for a while and Toshiro felt a nervous ball twist uneasily in his stomach.

'Have you thought about moving?' Yukio mumbled and Toshiro blinked and turned to him. 'Moving back with me? I mean not straight away but you could come over and visit and decide?'

'I-' he hadn't thought of that being an option at all. 'I never really thought about it.' They pulled back up outside his apartment and they got out the car. He felt numb, he would never leave Rangiku but then again would she come if he asked her? Hollywood… he was sure she would be up for that.

'Well it was just an idea.' Yukio smirked at him and held out his arm for Toshiro to snuggle into his side as they walked. 'Of course the temperature is totally different.'

'I don't think I'd mind the temperature as long as I got a decent air conditioning in my house and car.' Toshiro frowned, he was built for the cold but that didn't mean he wouldn't be willing to try. He didn't exactly have much of a career in mind and staying in Scotland probably wasn't the best place for a musician to stay. He'd be better moving somewhere where movies or music was the primary focus. He didn't just want to be a DJ his whole life.

Toshiro curled up against Yukio as he edited the video. He was surprised by how quickly he edited it and made it look seamless. Correcting colour and lighting to the best of his abilities and he even spoke Toshiro through a couple of the basics. Mostly Toshiro just liked lying against him as he did it. There had been so many times in his life he'd pictured being in this kind of scenario as the blond edited his video. Then the video was rendering and Yukio kept the laptop in his lap as it flashed up ten minutes for rendering. Toshiro grew a little impatient though and leaned up to lay a few little pecks across his jaw drawing the blonds' attention to him.

'Hmm, you're really cute,' he hummed against his lips as he wrapped an arm around Toshiros back and pulled him in for a kiss. Yukios taste was still incredible and Toshiro opened up willingly and melted against him as he let his tongue roam into his mouth. Too soon the laptop was making a noise to indicate the end of the rendering process and Yukio broke away to glace at it.

'Want to watch the video?' he asked and Toshiro gulped. He'd seen it getting edited but it looked even funnier once complete. He shook his head and chuckled along with all the jokes but he couldn't help feeling a little mortified that it was him.

'I can't believe we're doing this,' he groaned and Yukio looked at him seriously.

'Final chance, are you sure?'

'Yes,' he nodded his head, 'I am.' Yukio leaned over and kissed the side of his cheek before turning back and hit the 'upload to youtube' button. It was a slower process and Toshiro could feel his stomach twisting nervously as he watched blond now go and create a thumbnail image using photoshop. He had a basic template he used for all his videos and Toshiro watched him make a beautiful thumbnail in just a few short minutes.

Then the video was processing and Toshiros hands were getting sweaty. Yukio pulled Toshiro onto his lap and kept the video as unlisted then smiled down at Toshiro.

'You want to do the honours?' he asked and Toshiro felt his hands shaking a little as he selected the drop down from unlisted to public and clicked 'save changes.'

He couldn't believe how fast it happened. Yukio leaned in to kiss he side of his head and he turned to graze his lips against his boyfriends for a few moments and turned back to look at the video. Yukio had conveniently called the video;

'Bugging my boyfriend.'

Yukio refreshed the page and Toshiro almost died, they'd literally only kissed for twenty seconds and the video already had well over 8,000 views.

'W-WHAT!' he felt his heart hammering.

'Oh it gets better, watch.' He refreshed the page again and it had jumped to over 15,000. Then again, 18,000, then again and over 22,000.

Toshiro stopped him refreshing the page again and shook his head, he felt like he was having some kind of heart attack when the blond chuckled and clicked to share it to his other social medias. Then the blonds' phone was ringing and Yukio leaned over and picked it up.

'Hello Ichigo,' he chuckled as he answered.

'So you two are official? Hey thanks for telling me before the rest of the world. I feel so hurt.'

'You knew it was going to happen you twat,' Yukio rolled his eyes and cuddled Toshiro into his chest so the prodigy could hear Ichigo better.

'Yeah I did you're right, so how's it going? You two popped the cherry yet?'

'The what?' he was laughing hysterically and Toshiro groaned and tried to burry his face into his boyfriends' jumper.

'You know, the feather bed jig? Have you two done the deed? The horizontal mambo? The disappearing cane trick? The-'

'You're totally insane,' Yukio was laughing but he was clearly giving it away by his lack of answer.

'You two have haven't you?' he laughed down the phone at him and Toshiro groaned into his boyfriends chest.

'Make the bad strawberry go away,' Toshiro moaned.

'You're upsetting my boyfriend Ichigo,' Yukio hummed down the phone. 'I'm afraid we will have to end things here.'

'Alright well, don't let me stop you from shaking the sheets, roasting the broom, bumping ugilies-'

'Goodbye you dick,' Yukio hung up on him and tossed his phone to the side wrapping his other arm around Toshiro. 'Don't worry about anything.' He mumbled above Toshiro but the prodigy had his eyes closed as he breathed in Yukios scent. Trying to ground himself before another wave of panic attacked him. 'Tonight let's just snuggle together and watch a movie. We can check comments and other stuff in the morning alright?'

He nodded his head into his chest and with ease Yukio stood up, supporting Toshiros weight effortlessly by his ass as Toshiro yelped. He quickly secured his arms around his boyfriends' neck and his legs around his waist as he glanced down at the floor. The position was bringing back some rather fond and erotic memories as the blond carried him off towards the bedroom. He was right there was no use in worrying about anything tonight, it was best to just relax and check everything out tomorrow.
