Moments of Life
Part Six

Shuichi hummed softly to himself as he ambled back to the bedroom after making a late breakfast, knowing Yuki had gone to bed late and wanting to surprise him. He peeked into the bedroom, grinning when he spotted the author huddled under the blankets on his stomach with his head buried under the pillows. He'd gotten used to his lover's sleeping positions and knew when Yuki – Eiri – slept like that, he was usually in a light sleep after getting plenty of rest.

Slipping quietly into the room, he crawled onto the bed and over to the blond, gently tugging the pillow away and leaning down to nuzzle one of those sensitive ears. "Wake up, Yu-Eiri," he said, quickly correcting himself. He was promptly rewarded with a half-moan half-sigh before Eiri sleepily reached for the covers and pulled them over his head.

"G'way, brat," came the murmured response.

Shuichi raised an eyebrow briefly in amusement. Letting his eyes skim over Eiri's covered form, he smirked and reached down to lightly pinch just below the other man's ribs.

Eiri twitched and attempted a growl, annoyed when it came out sounding more like a gurgle as he reflexively shifted onto his side and curled up. He tugged the covers off his head and sent a sleepily baleful glare to the younger male, not appreciating the singer's rich laughter at his expense.

"I still can't believe you're so ticklish..." the darker-haired man said with a grin, reaching over to brush his fingers through Eiri's blond strands.

The novelist sneered faintly and sat up with a yawn, rubbing his eyes before glancing at Shuichi peripherally. He raked his eyes over the slim form, enjoying the sight of the bare chest and appealing position as a small smirk formed on his lips. Before the younger male could react, he'd shifted and pinned Shuichi beneath him, trapping his wrists with a hand as the other danced across his toned stomach.

"Eiri!" the singer protested with wide eyes before he dissolved into a fit of laughter, squirming beneath the taller man in vain.

The blond continued tickling the other male mercilessly for a long moment, eventually stilling his hand and lightly stroking Shuichi's sides, watching in satisfied amusement as the vocalist gasped for breath. "I think that's adequate payback," he finally murmured, leaning down and brushing their lips together teasingly.

"Hidoi..." Shuichi replied breathlessly, his mouth opening eagerly at the kiss before pouting at the loss of contact. A soft moan escaped as it was quickly reestablished, his eyes falling to slits as he relished the feeling of warm lips on his, shifting to slip a leg around one of Eiri's. "Mm, love you," he murmured once they broke apart, nuzzling the blond's cheek with something close to a purr.

"I smell breakfast..." Eiri said quietly, tilting his head to nip at the singer's neck. His free hand traced lazy patterns over the other male's stomach, enjoying the way it quivered faintly beneath his touch.

"I made pancakes and eggs."

"Burn anything?"

Shuichi growled playfully. "Just yours."

"Guess I'll be eating yours then," Eiri replied with a faint smirk. With that, he released his lover's wrists and rolled off the bed, heading into the kitchen with Shuichi close behind.

The singer reached out and lightly pinched the blond's ass, not able to help himself. He snickered at the way the author jumped in surprise and turned a mild glare on him, cackling and hurrying into the kitchen as he decided he'd found one of the best ways to start the morning.
