Kazuna glanced over his shoulder, reading over the 'Open' sign he'd looked at a thousand times in the span of twenty minutes. His lips pressed together in thought. He would most likely never admit it to Tomohisa, but he really wished they could spend more time together.
He glanced at the time, his shift was almost over but Tomohisa still had an hour or so left. The cafe manager always gave him such weird shifts. They use to be able to walk home together. Kazuna would sleepover at Tomohisa's place or vice versa but up until recently they haven't really gotten the chance to do so and Kazuna has been feeling a bit lonely.
He was more honest in his thoughts than with Tomohisa.
It's been raining the past few days and Tomohisa insisted Kazuna not wait for him and to head home before the weather got any worse.
There was no sign of any rain clouds from what he could see through the flower shop's windows.
Maybe he could stop by for a coffee and pass the time.
Maybe he could walk home with Tomohisa again.
His shift ended a bit later than usual. Mikado called saying he was running late. Kazuna's tired gaze fell on the door as it opened.
"Kaasan! Sorry I'm late. I went shopping with Momotasu and lost track of time. We ended up getting stuck in traffic." Mikado explained, crossing over to the side of the counter Kazuna was. "But I did manage to buy the new limited edition Mamirin tapestry!"
"Ah, don't worry about it, I was just going to kill the time somewhere." Kazuna smiles. "So I guess it all worked out." He removes the green apron from his neck, setting it on the hanger behind them.
"Oh, ho~ Could it be?" The brunette slides over, getting closer to Kazuna, "You have a D-A-T-E with a certain someone?" Mikado chimed, elbowing the only slightly shorter blonde, "And by 'certain someone' of course i mean T-O-M-O-H-I-S-A~"
The way Kazuna's cheeks flushed gave it away immediately, "I-it's not a date, Mikado!"
"Sure, sure, you two have been dating for what was it... two months now? And you still get so flustered. Ah! To be young and in love!" Mikado clasped his hands together to add to his exaggeration.
Kazuna chucked an apron toward Mikado's face, "I'll be heading home now."
"Thanks for your hard work today~"
Kazuna could see the look on his face without having to actually look at him.
"It's not a date…" He mumbled to himself.
There weren't as many people out on the street as there were earlier, but that didn't stop the cafe from being packed full of young woman.
Kazuna stiffened, looking around for any possibly empty seats.
"Ah, Massu?"
He turned around and saw the familiar strawberry face, "Yuta? You're working today too?"
"That's right!" Yuta smiled, "I was suppose to leave earlier but we got hit with a sudden wave of customers so here I am! Oh!" he blinked, "Are you here to see Tomo-kun?"
"Eh, ah, we- well-"
"Tomo-kun!" Yuta called out to Tomohisa before Kazuna could say anything "Massu is here to see youuuuu!~"
"Not so loud Yuta!!!" Kazuna whispered.
He could feel the eyes of everyone in the cafe shift over to them.
"Kazu? You didn't head home after work?"
Tomohisa walked over to them, setting down the tray he had been carrying.
Kazuna glanced around, his ears heating up as he saw a few people still staring at them, "M-mikado asked me to cover for him since he was running late. I just got out right now."
"Ah, I see, just give me a few minutes." Tomohisa smiled, reaching over and gently taking Kazuna's hand "It seems we can finally walk home together."
His cheeks flushed averting Tomohisa's gaze, "D.. don't say such things so loud." Kazuna pulled his hand away, hiding it behind his back.
Swatting away the pink haired boy, who kept giving him a teasing smile, Kazuna waited near the door. He didn't want to take a seat at a table since he wouldn't be ordering anything and someone else might walk in and need it.
His green eyes awkwardly shifted across the room, looking at the small details in the decor to avoid accidentally making eye contact with a customer or worse, Tomohisa.
Kazuna could hear Mikado's voice in his head, telling him to stop being flustered and be honest with Tomohisa, but being honest was a bit difficult. Especially when it came to his own feelings.
Did he like Tomohisa?
Well, Kazuna agreed to go out with him, he didn't dislike him. He has a nice face, he's charming, though a bit too charming sometimes.
What did he want from his relationship with Tomohisa?
That he wasn't sure of. Their relationship certainly wasn't just a casual one and they weren't seeing other people. But Kazuna wasn't too comfortable with the whole 'boyfriend' label. It just sounded weird.
"Are you ready to go Kazu?"
Tomohisa's voice startled him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, uh, yeah… L-let's go." Even though Tomohisa didn't know what he was thinking about, he still felt embarrassment from it.
Concerned with how stiff Kazuna was acting, he put on hand on the blondes shoulder, "Kazu are you feeling well?"
Kazuna's already bright cheeks heated up more, putting a bit of distance between Tomohisa and himself. "I.. I'm fine just a little tired…"
"I see, well you did work a long shift today. Let's head home" Tomohisa replied with that soft smile that was different then the one he showed the customers. The one that made Kazuna's heart do a backflip.
"Be safe you too!!" Yuta called out to them as they left the shop.
Walking side by side, but with enough distance to avoid accidental hand touching, Kazuna used his scarf to hide the small smile threatening to expose his happiness.
Tomohisa glanced over at Kazuna. Seeing that he was covering his face made him more concerned that perhaps Kazu really wasn't feel well. He reached over and took hold of Kazuna's hand, visibly startling him when Tomohisa put their hands together in the pocket of the taller man's jacket.
No words were exchanged. Just a smile from Tomohisa, and Kazuna's lips parting as if he was to say something but nothing came out.
The redness on Kazuna's cheeks had spread to his ears and neck. Tomohisa always thought it was cute how Kazuna turns red everywhere.
"Kazu- ah" Tomohisa stopped feeling water droplets in his face.
"Ah, I forgot my umbrella at the cafe!" Kazuna suddenly realized "and you didn't bring one at all, did you Tomohisa"
"It looked so pretty out i didn't think it would be necessary" The silver haired man chuckled. "We're almost at my place so we can just run and beat the rain"
"What running- Wah! W-wait Tomohisa!" Kazuna called out as Tomohisa pulled him by the hand.
Running together in the rain holding hands. What was this some cliché romance novel?
Their wet shoes squeaked against the polished floor outside the door of Tomohisa's apartment.
Kazuna leaned against the wall trying to catch his breath, eyes closed "what were… you thinking… running in the… Rain like that….???"
He suddenly felt two hands firmly grab his shoulders, pulling him into the apartment and use their body weight to shut the door.
"I was thinking I could warm up Kazu once we got home." Tomohisa's voice was low and soft. Kazuna could feel his warm breath against his lips.
Kazuna's hands slightly pushed at Tomohisa's chest turning his face away, "wh-what are you saying, I-i need to change-"
"Kazu,"
Kazuna bit his lip, his hands on Tomohisa's chest gripping his wet coat. His cheeks pink and wet from the rainwater that still dripped from his hair.
Tomohisa's hand gently caressed his cheek. His thumb sliding across his jaw bone, stopping and slowly tilting Kazu's face to look at him "I want to feel Kazu's special warmth"
The blond could feel his heart about to break out of his chest from how hard it was pounding. Looking into Tomohisa's blue eyes, they way Tomo looked at him as if he was going to devour him with just his eyes but also that comfort of having the one you love by your side.
Wait.
Love?
Kazuna's thoughts were stopped when Tomohisa's lips pressed against his. He could feel his knees about to buckle, they'd kissed before but never like this. Never with the intention of going further than 'just a kiss'.
In clothes wet and cold from the rain, warmth seeped through Kazuna. Tomo's air becoming his own with each exchanged kiss.
Tomo's hands slowly removing the wet coats from Kazuna and himself. He could feel the soft trembles from Kazu's body. Each small gasp for air when their lips parted away from each other. It was all so cute.
The kisses were slow and warm, each one making Kazu feel like he was being melted. Tomohisa's hands running across his body, the parts he touched burning. His mouth filled with heat, soft moans escaped him feeling Tomo's tongue against his own.
Feeling each other, tasting each other. This melting feeling made it difficult for Kazuna to keep standing, still held up against the door by Tomohisa's weight.
"T-tomo.. I.. I can't keep standing….." Kazuna breaths out, pushing Tomohisa's chest stopping the exchange of kisses.
Dazed, Kazuna follows Tomohisa into the bedroom. Arms wrapping around Kazuna's waist, Tomohisa kisses him once more. Startled by the kissing Kazuna loses his footing, they fall onto the soft mattress but the kissing doesn't let up.
Kazuna tugs at Tomo's shirt, pulling it out of its tucked position in his pants while tomo has already finished undoing all the buttons from Kazuna's shirt.
Tomohisa's mouth leaves Kazu's, trailing kisses along his jaw and neck earning soft mewls from the blond under him.
Kazuna covered his mouth, embarrassed by all the weird sounds he was making. His body twitched, feeling Tomo's cold hands push his undershirt over his chest.
"You're cold so these are already perked" Running his tongue along the bud of Kazuna's nipple "it's so cute, Kazu."
"Sh…. Shut up…." Kazuna gasped, his legs shifting as the surges of heat from Tomohisa's mouth rushed downward.
The soft licks and nibbles to Kazuna's nipples allowed Tomo to hear more cute noises from Kazu. His kisses trailed downward once more, hands undoing the buckle from Kazuna's belt.
Kazuna's hands gripped into the sheets below him, desperate to touch Tomohisa but being too afraid to mess up.
"T.. Tomohisa.." Kazu's voice came out as a soft desperate sigh, his toes curled as Tomo slowly tugged down the front of his boxer briefs. Inching closer to Kazuna's erection with each kiss.
His chest rose up and down with each heavy breath, eyes close tightly only feeling the warmth from Tomohisa's touches. He could feel Tomohisa's hand wrap around his dick, his warm breath as he brushed his lips across its length.
"N-no Tomo don't-" Kazuna tried to push Tomohisa's head away but he wasn't strong enough.
Tomohisa's mouth surrounded his dick. Kazuna's head pushed back into the mattress, his hands gripping onto Tomohisa's silver locks. With one hand Tomo continued to pull down Kazu's pants and briefs, while the other stroked Kazuna's dick as he sucked.
Kazuna's whole body shivered and twitched, the heat rushed away from his toes leaving a cold feeling everywhere except where Tomohisa was touching.
"No more… T-tomo I'm going to…." Kazuna begged. His hips twitched, moving in rhythm to Tomohisa's sucking.
He released Kazu's dick from his mouth, positioning himself on top of the disheveled Kazuna once more. Having taken his own erection out of his pants.
"Sorry, Kazu, I'm like this too…." Face flushed, his hips grinded against Kazuna's.
Kazuna's legs clasped around Tomohisa's waist, pulling him in closer to get more friction earning exhaled grunts from the taller male.
"Kazu… you're so cute…. So honest…." Tomo lowered himself so he could kiss Kazu once more.
His arms wrapped around Tomohisa's neck, his hands running through his hair tugging it when Tomohisa rubbed against a good spot.
"Does it feel good Kazu…?" He asked into the nape of Kazuna's neck.
"It feels….." Kazuna's voice was a whimper, legs tightening around Tomohisa's waist "… mng!~ it feels really good.."
Tomohisa's hand stroked their dicks slower but more thoroughly. Kazuna's vision was hazy, shivering and twitching from all the pleasure. He felt all the heat from his body rush down into his stomach.
"Are you going to cum Kazu?" Tomohisa wiped the drool from Kazuna's chin kissing him once more.
"Tomo I-…ahn.. I'm…. C-cuming….~"
Tomohisa sped up his strokes, eyes half-lidded wanting to see Kazuna's face when he finally came.
Kazuna's hands clawed at Tomohisa's back. His toes went cold and his back arched, body trembling as he released onto his stomach and Tomo's hand.
Kazuna's chest heaved up and down. Hair and his remaining shirt disheveled and stained with cum and sweat.
"Sorry Kazu, I ended up cuming on you" Tomohisa's free hand caressed Kazuna's cheek, softly kissing his forehead.
Kazuna was exhausted. Not only had he worked a longer then usual shift, but he'd had to run to Tomo's apartment and now this. It was all too much Tomohisa for his body and his heart, he wouldn't be able to handle the next level after this.
Tomohisa wiped off Kazuna and his hand with a towel. "Do you want to order something to-" Tomohisa stopped mid sentence.
The blonde had fallen asleep just like that. Tomo's eyes softened, his thumb running across Kazuna's lips feeling his warm breath against it.
Tomo carefully removed the dirty clothes from Kazu and changed him into some of his own clothes so he could put Kazu's dirty clothes to wash.
"So cute" Tomohisa grins to himself, picking up Kazuna's dirty clothes and putting it in the washer.
The next morning, Kazuna awoke to Tomohisa's hand gently brushing through his hair.
"Good morning" Tomo spoke in a soft low voice, letting Kazu wake up slowly.
"Morning…." Kazuna scooted closer to tomohisa, rubbing his eyes, which felt strangely heavy.
Tomohisa rubbed his back, placing a kiss on his ear. "Are you feeling alright?"
Kazuna's cheeks were dusted pink, the sunlight coming in from the window lining his frame beautfuly. "I feel really tired…." He mumbled into Tomohisa's chest.
Tomohisa looked down at Kazuna, lifting his face to get a proper look at him. He placed the back of his hand against Kazuna's forehead, "Ah, Kazu it seems you have a fever" Tomohisa grew a little sulky "Sorry, this is probably because I didn't let you bathe and dry off properly last night…"
"It's okay…" Kazuna breathed out, "This means i can… Spend today with you…. Right?"
Tomohisa didn't know if it was the fever or the fact that he was still half asleep that was making Kazuna be more honest but he didn't care. He would let Kazu stay at his place until he felt better!
"Where's my phone… I have to call Mikado and tell him i can't work…" Kazuna began to sit up but Tomohisa grabbed his shoulders and pushed him to lay back down, wrapping him in the blanket so he wouldn't be able to move.
"You stay here and rest Kazu. I'll call him for you and let him know, all right?"
Kazuna was too sleepy to fight back so he just let Tomohisa be, it would be easier that way.
Tomohisa went to get Kazuna's phone which he had left near the washing machine, having taken it out before putting Kazu's clothes to wash.
"Oh." Tomohisa went back to his room "Kazu, what's the password?"
Kazuna visibly blushed, his cheeks becoming darker even with the fever. He pulled the blanket over his face "It's……"
Tomo blinked, "Eh, I didn't quite catch that" he sat in the edge of the bed.
Kazu pulled more of the blanket over himself to hide his face, "Your…. B…. Birthday."
The silver haired man could feel a blush creep onto his cheeks, "You… set my birthday as your password….?"
He made out what seemed to be a nod under the pile of blanket.
Kazuna felt a heavy weight in him, pulling the blanket off of his face, "Hey Tomo i can't breath- mmh!"
If he couldn't breath before, much less could he now with Tomohisa's mouth covering his own.
Kazuna tried to cover his face again with the blanket but Tomohisa's hands kept it firmly at his sides. "T-tomo…" Kazuna panted, finally able to break away and take a breath.
"Kazu, you're really cute you know. When you're honest and even when you're not. Your modesty when you are given praise, your stubbornness when you're embarrassed. All of that, I really love."
Kazuna's eyes widened, his heart was beating so fast he could feel it about to jump out of his throat. "T-tomo I…. I.."
Tomohisa's eyes had that reassuring softness that told Kazu he didn't have to say anything. He would wait for when Kazu felt ready, for when he felt sure his feeling were more than just 'I like your face'.
With a tender kiss to Kazuna's temple, Tomohisa sat up and called Mikado.
Kazuna suddenly felt dizzy, surely it was the fever. He could hear Mikado's voice even without the speaker being on.
-"I see so Kaasan is 'sick'?" Mikado said suspiciously.
Kazuna rolled his eyes.
"Yes, so I'd like for him to stay here and rest until he feels better. I'll take him home once he does." Tomohisa glanced at Kazuna and smiled.
-"Hmmm, how do i know he won't end up more 'sick' tomorrow?- Eh, hey! Wait Momotasu give me my pho-"
-"Please look after him."
-"Momotasuuuu!!"
Mikado's whining could be heard in the background as Momotaro ended the call.
Tomohisa and Kazuna exchanged confused looks, before both erupted in laughter.
Tomohisa set Kazuna's phone down on the nightstand. Kazuna tugging at his shirt, "would you mind… Sleeping with me… For a bit…" He asked nervously.
Tomohisa was in awe, never before had Kazuna expressed he wanted Tomohisa to do something like he was right now. Tomo felt as though and arrow struck his heart. Kazu was being so cute, he might overload on cuteness.
He got back into bed with Kazu, letting Kazu get comfortable against his chest before pulling the blanket over them and wrapping his arms around Kazuna.
It was moments like this that made it worth it to wait. He didn't want to rush Kazuna into saying something he didn't mean. Kazuna's honesty was something he'd come to see as Kazu's own way of showing he really cared.
Right now in this moment, Tomohisa Kitakado had won.
