Lazy Rain
Misaki observed the tedious and sluggish drizzle falling from the invisible heaven, while sitting on the couch and pillowing his head on his arms. The cool ambiance and the calm silence accompanied with the soft hissing sound of the rain was relaxing Misaki, softening his heart and soul.
He rarely enjoyed his time like that as most of his leisure hours were occupied with Akihiko but Akihiko was busy finishing his work, so Misaki had decided to relish that scarce freedom to the fullest.
Misaki had planned to rest and watch the rain. With his eyes focused on the rain outside, his thoughts floated like liberated light clouds.
It was finally raining and the trifle tussles which he and Akihiko were having for the terrible heat of the summer would end… A faint redness tainted Misaki's cheeks when he remembered about the cause for those fights, most of the time Misaki had won making Akihiko wait till the weather was cool so that they could come closer.
Slowly a smile spread on Misaki's lips…
'Crash'
Misaki's sweet and quiet trails of thoughts and slight slumber were devastated when a loud crashing noise emerged from the kitchen. He rushed to the place and saw Akihiko standing in front of the broken cup like a pale zombie.
'What are you do—hey Usagi-san.'
Before Misaki could scold the man properly and hopelessly, Akihiko closed his tired eyes as his long legs became unsteady. Misaki's heart leaped to his throat when Akihiko was almost about to pass out and fall on the scattered broken glasses on the floor. Misaki sighed a breath of relief when Akihiko grabbed the basin and balanced his weight.
Misaki could see that Akihiko had already developed dark deep circles under his then dull eyes. The usual stern and handsome face wore a mask of worn-out fatigue. How he wished that the man would do his work on time instead of teasing Misaki all the time. Misaki caught Akihiko by the shirt as the man still didn't have a strong grip on his legs.
'IT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T DO YOUR WORK ON TIME.'
Misaki couldn't help but worry about the careless and bohemian man when Akihiko looked down like a guilty and helpless child instead of making some excuses. Misaki knew it was useless to preach that man some edible advice; he would never be able to take his eyes off Akihiko...
Misaki began to pick up the broken pieces of the cup.
'Go and take some rest, I will prepare the coffee.'
Akihiko nodded and walked towards the penthouse. Misaki couldn't concentrate fully on his task and kept his ears on sharp alert till he heard Akihiko reclining on the couch.
After preparing the coffee when Misaki returned to Akihiko, he found the man fast asleep. Keeping the coffee on the table, he took his seat beside Akihiko's head on the couch. He was not going to wake up the man as he could see that Akihiko had grown weak and frail for the lack of sleep and food.
The sleeping face of Akihiko looked so innocent just like the fresh raindrops. For a while Misaki forgot about the witty and perverted man beneath the camouflage of such angelic features. Misaki knew that Akihiko was no more than a child when he came to taking care and being responsible. Instead of looking at the rain he found himself staring at Akihiko's peaceful and dormant face.
'Falling in love with my face, Misaki?'
'SHUT UP.'
Misaki was so wrong for thinking such pure compliments; he was tricked again with his landlord's treacherous poker face.
'Misaki my head is aching so much, will you heal it?'
'NO'
Inspite of the denial Misaki found himself combing his fingers though Akihiko's silky hairs with flustered face and pouty lips.
Misaki withdrew his hands when Akihiko slightly moved. He stayed still when Akihiko hoisted up his head, moved closer to Misaki and used Misaki's lap as a cushion.
'Usagi-san?'
No reply was heard, the only response was Akihiko wrapping his arms around Misaki's slim waist and nudging Misaki's waistline with his head.
Misaki didn't protest when after a while he heard Akihiko snoring softly. Realizing that staring too much at his lover's face could be dangerous; he averted his attention to the rain again. But his heart was still engaged with the thoughts of the man on his lap..
Soon Misaki felt his sight getting blurred as his eyes grew bored of watching the slight and occasional shine of some shimmering water trails among the myriad raindrops. The lethargic environment made him sleepy too.
Laying his head in the hollow of Akihiko's ear and shoulder, Misaki closed his eyes.
Outside the rain continued lulling those lazy lovers into a serene sleep…
