Flopping onto Sado's couch with a groan, Ichigo stretched his arms up and over his head, the sound of the shower going up the hall making him smile. After their friends had left for their own homes, Sado had gone for a shower, not having gotten to take one after work as he usually did.

Ichigo had called his father and told him that he was spending the weekend with his friend to virtually hunt down an apartment that was hopefully in the same building or at least close to where they would be living.

Sado had sent in his notification of transfer to go with Ichigo and he had asked for the business line for his own classes, transferring his scholarship things over to the Paris branch fairly easily. Ichigo was going to continue to use the education fund that his parents had created when he had been first born, the same as his sisters were, seeing as it was still gathering a lot of interest. He rather liked that it was going to pay for his school fees for the new school while he worked part time to cover the rest. He already had an interview for a local book store that was near where he lived that he would do online.

Sado had also started to look into finding a job that would allow him to work only part time, but he did have his own schooling funds from his family estate that was helping him cover what the scholarships didn't.

His friend came out of the bedroom, dressed in a pair of low slung sweatpants and a loose t-shirt that had been washed soft. "You're thinking rather hard," Sado rumbled, Ichigo lifting his head up from where it had been resting on his arms.

"I was just thinking about the plans for our weekend and what we're going to have to do once we get to Paris," Ichigo told him. He shifted as his phone dinged with a text message. He reached out and grabbed at it, finding that his cousin had texted him with an offer for Sado from her mother. "Tomoe-obasan has offered you a stay at home data entry job for files. Pretty much she'll set you up with a specialized computer that you can work on and any time that you open the specialized app, you're considered logged in and that is when you are paid. Like your job now but at home instead of a building," he told him.

Sado took the phone, reading over the offer carefully before nodding his head, handing it back. "If she has a contract that states max amount of hours and what exactly I'm to do, I'll sign it," he said. Ichigo replied to Kagami, sending Sado's work e-mail before he put his phone down after getting a thumbs up from her and a response.

"She said that her mother will have it all drawn up and sent by tomorrow afternoon their time," Ichigo told him. Sado nodded as he sat on the couch. "There is something that I was hoping to talk with you about though."

"What is that?" Sado asked. Ichigo sat up to face his friend.

A slow smile spread over Sado's lips. Truly, the smile was more of an uptick of his full lips more then anything, but it was still a smile. The other man reached out to pull him close, causing Ichigo to squeak and blink several times up at his bigger friend.

"I thought that you already knew about us," Sado teased him. Ichigo huffed and smacked him in the side as things started to come together. The way Sado would always pull him down to sit next to or against him. The way that they were able to be close to each other without expecting anything to happen, instead just enjoy each other's company. The way that they had already been dating without any of the extra perks that came with it.

Ichigo snorted as he threw his legs over Sado's legs, bringing up his hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it. "I guess that I'm really am oblivious, huh?" he asked. Sado chuckled softly as he wrapped his arms around the smaller male. While Ichigo was built strong and powerful, compared to his bigger friend and now boyfriend, he was still on the slimmer side, made for fast and hard attacks. Sado liked that though. It meant Ichigo fit in his arms perfectly.

"You can be, yes," Sado teased, smothing a hand down his side. He was relishing the fact that he could touch Ichigo the way that he wanted to now that they were both on the same page. Ichigo just made a contented sound and pressed further into his body, smiling at the way his partner touched him gently. "But I do suppose that worked in my favor seeing as you didn't realize about all of the people that liked to flirt with you. Both here and in the Seireitei," he hummed.

Ichiog lifted his head from where he had placed it on Sado's shoulder, frowning up at him. "Who?" he asked, trying to think of one person who had tried to flirt with him.

Sado chuckled as he shifted, placing his feet on an ottoman. "Oh it depends on the person really. Renji had a thing for you for a while before he fell back in love with Rukia. I know that Kenpachi's version of flirting with you is to try to pin you down during your spars." Ichigo pulled a face and shook his head.

"Don't get me wrong, I respect the man, I really do, but he is not my type," Ichigo snorted. He shook his head again before he returned to cuddling with his partner. "Well, I do suppose that it's a good thing that you will be coming with us to Paris then. I can take my time in exploring this new side of our relationship without having to take a weekend home to see you. I really would miss being able to enter your apartment to wake you up with real coffee instead of the sludge that you make," he teased.

Sado snorted in amusement. "I would miss your coffee when I'm working or just getting out of bed," he agreed. He smiled into soft hair before tipping Ichigo's face up and did the most natural thing in the world to him: He kissed him. It was soft and slow, just a gentle press of lips that moved together, learning how it felt to kiss the other.

Ichigo sighed into the kiss and melted into the larger body with a smile before he pulled away and smirked. "You know what we're going to have to do for the next month right?" he asked. Sado groaned softly. "Dad is going to have people pack things up for us and ship it over to Paris. Uryu, Orihime, Keigo and Mizuiro have all been offered the chance to rent the house for the next few years or until I'm able to live alone over there. Whatever happens first."

"I give it a year. We still have our two years of school and by then we'll have established ourselves over there pretty well. Not only with our jobs but with our schooling funds," Sado drawled. "Though your father might just stay because of your sisters wanting to stay there."

"He has a contract for two years with renegotiation for more years as he needs at the hospital," Ichigo hummed. "Luckily for us, the school has a good moving fund for international students. And since you were already accepted, all you have to do is make sure all the information is correct and that the money has been shifted correctly in the bank. And the things for you."

"What things?" Sado asked as he shifted to lay down with Ichigo flopping over him with a puff of air. He blushed at their positions for a moment before he relaxed into the other male.

"Like packers who will pack everything up for you and move it so that we don't have to do it all?" Ichigo asked. "I know a good company that will do it for us so that we don't have to worry about it. All you would need to worry about is keeping enough stuff for a week at my place, warning your landlord that you are moving to Paris for school, and then making sure the place is cleaned out."

"It won't be hard to do that in a day," Sado hummed, enjoying the weight of the other teen on him. "Now that everyone else has been warned, we just need to plan how to set up our lives in Paris," he mused. "It should be fun outside of having to deal with magical terrorists," he drawled.

Ichigo chuckled at his words and slid off of Sado before he stretched his arms up, the other male watching with appreciative eyes. "I'm going for a shower and then I'm totally going to steal a shirt from your closet."

"Such a tease," Sado replied as Ichigo disappeared down the short hall and into the bathroom with a laugh that trailed after him.
