Day 7 - Anniversary
He ran his wet fingers through his hair one more time and looked at himself up and down. Alright, Keiji thought. Not bad, if that was something he could realistically and objectively think of himself.
Right now he was just making time, to be honest. If he ran his fingers through his hair any more times it would start to fall off. Kotaro had sent him a text half an hour ago saying he'd be at his house in fifteen minutes. So yes, he was late but Keiji was already expecting something like that from Kotaro; Keiji had always been the punctual one in the relationship. He was starting to worry though.
But as soon as the doorbell rang any worry or darker thought he was having disappeared. Keiji gave out a small sigh of relief before he grabbed his wallet and phone. He dashed downstairs, jumping over the last two steps, a smile of excitement on his lips.
His mom reached the door at the same time he did. He smiled at her and slowed down his pace as he walked up to her. She'd stopped in the middle of the room, almost as if purposely blocking his way.
He brushed off his sweaty palms on his jeans as casually as he could and smiled, walking up to her to give her a quick goodbye kiss before he left. "Be careful out there tonight and be sure to text me if you're staying at Kotaro-kun's house, okay?" Keiji nodded, blushing a bit.
"Ye- Yeah, don't worry. I'll be alright," he replied. "I'll see you later."
She waved him off with a motherly smile of happiness and perhaps approval, he couldn't quite tell. It made him pretty happy though.
He grabbed his keys, put on his shoes as quickly as humanely possible and opened the door.
"Keiji!" Kotaro jumped in place, breaking into a wide grin. "I'm…. I'm so sorry… I'm late…." His cheeks were flushed and he was panting slightly, probably from running there all the way there from the station even though Keiji told him he could meet him there.
"It's okay. But we should go if we're going to catch the last train before the movie starts," he said and grinned back at him in spite of it all, Kotaro's lateness, his stubbornness… Seeing his boyfriend all flushed and panting kind of turned him on, to be quite honest, and very happy and warm inside as well.
"Actually!" Kotaro jumped twice in place, giddy like a little kid, those big bright eyes looking at him and only him, as always. "I've got a surprise for you!" Kotaro giggled and quickly snatched Keiji's hand and grasped it tightly as he pulled him along behind him.
"Look!" He pointed at a shiny dark-blue car parked just a few meters away from Keiji's house.
"Yes?" Keiji asked.
Kotaro threw his arms in the air and waved frantically. "DUDE THE CAR!"
Keiji's brows furrowed together. "What do you mean the car?" Kotaro rolled his eyes and shook his head with that supermodel grin. He pointed at himself and the at Keiji and nodded slowly.
Keiji tilted his head to the side slowly, his eye narrowing at Kotaro. "Did... did you get me a car?" He said in a low voice.
"Yes and I had help," he simply said and pointed at his house. Keiji's eyes followed Kotaro's, and he saw his mother smiling at the doorstep, her arms stretched out in the air waving at him.
"Happy Birthday, Keiji!" She shouted. Keiji's eyebrows shot up.
"Happy Birthday," Kotaro murmured softly. Keiji's eyes darted between the two, his lips parted.
"You got me a car," he murmured, still incredulous. The corners of his lips quirked up into a small smile, his vision blurring with the tears that formed in his eyes. "That's so irresponsible," he said. "I mean it's so expensive to keep and it's much easier to get around in Tokyo in public transportation and…"
Kotaro's grin faded. "You don't like it?" He asked in a small voice.
"I LOVE IT," he blurted out and threw his arms around Kotaro.
The rest of the evening was followed by more happy-crying on Keiji's end and a lot of blushing from Kotaro's part as the two took the bus to catch a movie because neither of them knew how to drive yet.
Day 7: Anniversary or Future AU
Honestly I have no excuse for never finishing this. I think I forgot all about it though. And when I did remember or try to write it, I just couldn't think of anything or was stuck with a very basic concept. (If I wrote this the way I initially imagined it would've ended up a lot differently.)
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this small series and you could give me some feedback on what you thought of it?
Also I was thinking of making the Magic AU and the Resurrection AU into longer fics? Would anyone like to read that?
