Day 25: Keeping Plants
"There still alive," Rin mused aloud, fingers brushing under a leaf of their Shiso plant. "That's a surprise."
"Why? I just did what you told me to," Sousuke mumbled from the living room, glancing back at the potted plant sitting next to their window. Rin looked over at him with a smile before standing up and walking the short distance to the couch. He leaned over the back and wrapped his arms around Sousuke's neck, resting his chin against Sousuke's head.
"Well two weeks is a long time, I thought you would have forgotten."
"I didn't," he reminded him, "and if I had let that plant die you would have thrown a fit."
"Would not," Rin said with a sharp click of his tongue as he left the living room. "If you'll actually remember to take care of them maybe we should have more. It'd be nice if we had fresh tomatoes or peppers."
"You can have whatever you want as long as you take care of them," Sousuke interjected, eyeing him as the other come back with two colas in hand. He gave one to Sousuke before sitting down on the couch and leaned into his side with a yawn.
"I will, but you still have to take care of them when I'm not here," he reasoned. "Would you be willing to do that?"
"As long as you write down what I have to do."
"I'll even make them little signs," Rin joked, a cheerful grin now in place.
Sousuke shrugged, throwing an arm around the back of the couch and letting Rin scoot in closer. Rin picked the remote up off the coffee table before getting comfortable and flipping through the channels. Sousuke's eyes left the television, instead choosing to watch him.
He regarded him with a calm contentment before Rin turned to him, a scowl on his face before he leaned up to give him a quick peck. Sousuke put his cola down and wrapped his other arm around Rin, leaning his head against the back of his neck, giving it a kiss. Rin grumbled about being uncomfortable until Sousuke released him, immediately moving to the other end of the couch.
Sousuke was about to ask what the deal was until he saw the throw pillow Rin placed in his lap. Sousuke grinned at the stubbornness in Rin's gaze before he laid down on the couch, laying on his back and letting his legs hang over the couch's arm. A small table was on the other side for that very purpose, put there by Rin so that Sousuke had a place to put his feet.
He fell asleep like that, Rin's fingers combing through his hair making quick work of him.
