Jakotsu sat on the sofa, bored out of his mind. There was absolutely nothing good on TV to watch and he had left the book, he had been reading, in his Kyoto apartment. Listening to music, only reminded him how much he missed his life-partner. Plus there was only so much he could clean.

Even though they had seen each other last night and this morning, as Jakotsu was back to spending his weekends at "home," his life-partner had been touring with Youkai for the past four months. The cross-dresser had missed him terribly, despite their frequent phone calls. This morning Bankotsu had left early for work with the promise to return as soon as possible, which was turning out to be most of the day.

Heaving a heavy sigh, the cross-dresser got to go make a cup of tea. As he puttered around the kitchen, Jakotsu heard the sound of someone entering the apartment. iYAY! He's home!/i! He left the kitchen, entering the hallway. He stood at the top of the stairs leading up out of the genkan, watching his life-partner remove his shoes and put on his house slippers.

Bankotsu looked up at him and grinned. "Hey, Sweetness."

"Ban honey…" Jakotsu said, stepping back to let his life-partner walk up the stairs and join him in the hallway. "Welcome home!" he cried, wrapping his arms around the younger man, and pulling him close.

"I missed you too, Sweetness," Bankotsu said softly. "I'm sorry, I wasn't home sooner; there was a ton of work waiting for me."

"That's okay," Jakotsu said. He kissed the top of his life-partner's head. "You're home now and that's all that counts."

"Yeah…"

"Come, let's go to our room and let me properly welcome you home," the cross-dresser murmured huskily.

"Lead the way, Sweetness."
