Sousuke swallowed the last of his beer and prepared to leave the bar after a fun night. His friends had convinced him to join a weird costume party in a nearby town. The others were leaving for another bar, but he didn't feel like joining them tonight.

Someone leaned into him, startling him. Sousuke frowned and opened his mouth, prepared to get rid of the probably drunken idiot, when he was met with a pair of beautiful crimson eyes, framed by brilliant maroon hair. He forgot all about his earlier plans and his brain became even more unhelpful when the really really cute redhead promptly sat down on his lap and kissed him.

Rin woke up, feeling awful. After a while, he was able to determine that he was in his own bed - alone. He wasn't yet sure if that was a good or bad thing though. Groaning, Rin tried to piece together his fragmented memories from last night. He'd been out with friends. They'd hit some bar they'd never tried before. There were very nice colorful drinks. Lots of them. Apparently stronger than he'd thought. They'd played some drinking game. There was a dare involved. He'd kissed… oh gods, he'd kissed a police officer! …A very hot police officer…

Rin tried to remember more, but only snippets surfaced. They'd kissed a lot, made out a bit… He'd started to feel tired and… the police officer had brought him home! Rin quickly scrutinized his body and clothing. He was still wearing all his clothes from last night and it didn't feel as if something had happened. Not that he'd minded…probably…but still. He noticed that someone had left water on his nightstand and he saw his jacket neatly hung over a chair together with his necklace. Rin smiled softly.

Sousuke ran towards the classroom, cursing his bad sense of direction. He was one minute from being late to his first university class of the semester. Sousuke sat down in the first chair he could find, with seconds to spare. He breathed in relief and scrambled to get his books out while the teacher started the class. Where the f was his pen?

While he rummaged through his bag, someone handed him a pen. Sousuke silently mouthed "thank you" and threw a quick look at his savior – his very redheaded and familiar savior. Sousuke blinked in confusion and blushed. The redhead eyed him curiously, mouthed "no problem" and turned around to take notes.

Rin grinned at his flatmate and friend. "Sousuke, come on!" They squeezed inside the full bus and tried to find some centimeters to spare. Rin found himself sandwiched between Sousuke's hard body and a window, not that he minded much. Rin had to remind himself that Sousuke was his friend and that jumping friends was a Very Bad Idea™, even if they were really really attractive.

It wasn't Sousuke's fault that he was both a great friend – his best friend in fact - and looked similar to Rin's ideal guy. Rin also had to remind himself that it was ridiculous to be so hung up on an old crush that he let it completely determine his type. Unfortunately, Rin was romantic that way and therefore had a thing for tall, muscular, dark-haired guys with gentle eyes, even if they didn't come in police uniforms, which he'd also developed a fetish for. Gods…so pathetic.

When Sousuke had seen Rin sitting in the classroom, he'd been floored. What were the odds? When the cute redhead didn't appear to recognize him at all, Sousuke wasn't sure if he was happy or sad about that – or if he should say something. Now, after getting to know him, he was actually quite happy about how it turned out. Rin was a wonderful friend. They'd hit it off immediately - and when Rin's roommate moved out shortly after their first meeting, Sousuke had moved in. They'd been inseparable since.

Had Rin remembered, he might not have had the opportunity to get to know him like this. Still, there were numerous occasions when Sousuke longed to touch him again. He hadn't been so drunk that night and all details were still ingrained in his mind, including the fact that kissing Rin was something he could grow addicted to. Something he was addicted to was Rin's friendship though, so he'd just have to try not thinking about it.

Rin brought out yet another box to unpack. Their new flat looked great and everything was mostly in order. Rin pulled out a pair of pants and scrutinized them. Far too big for him, so they must belong to Sousuke. Rin put the pants back in the box on top of the matching jacket and moved to get another box. He stopped and frowned. Rin slowly brought the box back and opened it again.

His hands shook slightly when pulling out the police uniform. He stared at it. There were several reasons why Sousuke would have a police uniform, but then again there was also a nagging voice in the back of Rin's head that helpfully tried to convince him to start adding several facts up.

Sousuke entered the room. "Rin, your friend Hazuki is here and…"

"Where were you on Friday Feb 2nd 2 years ago?" Rin interrupted, clutching the uniform in his hands.

Sousuke's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to speak, although he didn't get a word out before the blond bundle behind him.

"Rin-chan! What a great apartment! It looks wonderful! You've managed to get unpacked so quickly! I still have boxes from 4 years ago and Rei-chan says…" "Oooooh is that a police uniform!? Is it yours Sou-chan? Did you know Rin-chan has a thing for men in uniform?"

"Nagisa, shut up!" Rin bit out, just as Sousuke, aghast, silently mouthed "Sou…chan?".

"I kid you not, there's this guy he's been crushing on for years… police uniform, tall, dark hair, teal eyes…"

Nagisa looked at Rin, then Sousuke, fell silent and suddenly realized he had a very urgent meeting. Rin and Sousuke stared at each other as the blond took off, for once not chattering.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Rin whispered.

"I didn't think you remembered anything… You didn't recognize me at all when we met. And then we got along so well… I didn't want to lose that. I couldn't lose that."

Rin digested this in silence, then stood up, looking determined.

"Put it on."

"Huh?"

"Put it on."

"Rin…"

Rin glared at him. Sousuke put it on, not bothering to step out or turn around when changing. It was a bit embarrassing with Rin staring at him all the time, but also kind of hot. Weird hot, but still. Then again, weird hot was Rin in a nutshell – and he'd asked for it after all. Once dressed Sousuke crossed his arms, looking slightly grumpy.

"Happy?"

"Quite."

"…This is stupid. I'll take it off."

"Later", Rin murmured, smiling slightly, before jumping him, again.

Notes:

This one was basically written only because Sousuke looks ridiculously hot in a police uniform ( 1802134)

Right? Right? Am-I-right? Well, Rin thinks so anyway.
