I wrote this some time ago, but didn't want to post it outside of tumblr since it's super short and informal...but now that this collection exists, it can go here. I'd been working through some block with this one, so it's super short and in first person.

Super fluffy fluff ahead from Toshi's POV.

.*Advice for Two*.

"When are you going to learn to take better care of yourself?"

That's what Kat-chan asked, with his forehead pressed to mine and his fingers combing gently through my loosened hair.

I huffed, but before I could even reply, he made a soft sound of disapproval and barely shook his head. "Don't."

"Don't what?"

His lashes fell and he smiled. "Start on with your excuses."

My lips pushed out into a purse at that.

With his eyes opening then, his expression turned serious. "I mean it, Toshi…working late, skipping dinner, brushing it off when your body is cold…" Kat-chan's hands at last retreated from stroking through my hair and the next I knew, large warm palms were cupping my cheeks. "It's not good," he insisted softly, his brows twitching inward and thumbs beginning to caress beneath my eyes.

I exhaled through my nose.

Unbelievable…

The sincerity in his gaze had my own dropping for a pensive moment, before my hands lifted to press firmly atop his.

"Kondo-san…" I breathed, attempting to keep my tone neutral—though the formal usage of his name gave away my actual feelings. "It's interesting you should say all that."

Kat-chan's eyes widened and he drew back slightly. "Eh?!" He blinked. "W–What do you—?"

My lips twitched into the makings of a soft smirk. "Since you, yourself, were up until this hour working…"

His jaw went slack momentarily. "Well…well, that's different—"

"And," I pressed, "Since you insisted that I eat your last onigiri at dinner tonight…"

"A—ah." The realization was dawning on him. "…But—"

I cocked my head and lifted a brow. "And since you put your own haori over me just now, after talking about how cold it is…"

Kat-chan's eyes fell to my black clad shoulders for a moment, and then it was clear he knew he'd been defeated. His features softened and the tension in his body relaxed as he forced a laugh.

"So, while I do appreciate your advice…Kondo-sensei…" My fingers flexed over his knuckles. "…maybe we should both take it."

He was laughing again after that, a quiet chuckle this time that came naturally. "Sorry, Toshi…" Kat-chan mumbled, withdrawing his hands from my face and opting to instead pull me close. His scent inundated me, messed with my head and had me closing my eyes. "You're right. But it's not in my nature to think about myself." A pause, and then he nuzzled my hair. "I just want the best for you."

Though he couldn't see it, I knew he could feel the smile in my voice and for once, I did nothing to conceal the fact. "I know that," I said, the words riding out airily and in satisfaction, and I finally lifted my arms to embrace him just as tightly.

"And I love you for it," was what I hadn't added.

…but I knew he heard that anyway, too.
