Chapter Text
Modern AU
You really weren't cut out for an office job. The long hours, your shitty boss that piles way too much work on you; you're almost at a breaking point. Tonight, you're the last one on your floor to leave. You stayed an extra two hours to complete the last minute paperwork your boss had so graciously sent to your email.
With a sigh, you throw your bag over your shoulder and head off towards the elevators. You never expected to be here this late, but things had to b done. You press the down button and impatiently wait, tapping your heeled foot as you watch the numbers descend above the closed doors. Wait a minute. You're not the last one here?
There's a ding and the doors roll open to reveal the fiery haired man you've only seen a couple of times. He greets you with a warm smile as you step inside. You give him a nod and go to click the lobby button, but see it's already glowing. Quietly, you rest your back against the wall adjacent to him and watch the doors close. An awkward silence falls over the two of you, the air feeling a bit thick. He clears his throat before speaking to you.
"I don't think we've met before," He sticks out a large hand in your direction, "I'm Kyojuro Rengoku. I work three floors above you." He smiles at the end of his sentence and suddenly, the awkwardness melts away. You take his hand in yours and give it a solid shake.
"I-I'm (y/n) (l/n). It's a pleasure to meet you." You give him a soft smile in return. A light hint of pink dusts his cheeks as the two of you look at each other. You're the first to pull away and turn your attention to the now open doors. You exit swiftly, Kyojuro trailing close behind you. Before you can push the door open in front of you, his large arm beats you to it. You turn back to him with another grin pulling on your lips, "Thank you, Kyojuro. Have a good night!" You give him a small wave as you walk off in the direction of your car.
"Same to you (y/n)!" He calls out to you. He watches as you get in your car and pull away from the curb, a darker blush blooming to life on his cheeks.

The next morning is gloomy. Dark grey clouds hang overhead as you enter the large building you work in. You place your umbrella in the holder by the door before heading towards the elevators as you do every day. You're fairly early today, but it looks like the majority of people have already piled into their cubicles. You approach yours and notice a small paper bag sitting on your desk. On the front is a little note that reads 'Hope you like chocolate!' with a small doodle of a sun wearing sunglasses. Your cheeks grow warm and a smile forms as you glance around the office. Nothing out of the ordinary; who could've left something like this for you? You sit down and reach into the bag. You pull out a good-sized chocolate chip muffin from the bakery two buildings over. You look it over, examining it before deeming it safe to eat.
The rest of the day goes by at almost a snail's pace. Not only has your boss been laying on the work thick, but two of your coworkers called out sick and you had to cover their share for the day. This has once again kept you two hours past your normal schedule.
You groan as you slowly shuffle to the elevators. Your feet and head are killing you, but you can't fully shake the unexpected happy start to your day. You talk the button as usual and the doors pop open soon after. It's him again. Kyojuro greets you with the same bright smile as yesterday as you step inside.
"It's good to see you again (y/n)!" His face gleams brightly, almost like a ray of sunshine. You blush lightly at the excited tone in his voice and smile back at him.
"It's good to see you too, Kyojuro." A thought quickly crosses your mind as you lock eyes with him and raise an eyebrow, "Were you the one that left the muffin on my desk this morning?" His cheeks darken as he turns from your gaze, scratching the back of his neck as he chuckles.
"How did you guess?" He sounds almost shy, probably from your sudden and bold question. You laugh lightly just as the elevator doors slide open.
"You're the first person here who has been nice to me since I started." You shrug your shoulders as the two of you head towards the front door. Rain is beating down outside. Thank God you decided to bring your...where the hell is your umbrella. You freeze as you stare at the umbrella holder by the door. There's a single umbrella left and it's definitely not yours. Kyojuro notices your sudden change in mood. He glances between you and where his umbrella is, a confused look on his face. "Someone stole my fucking umbrella." Your tone is different, dark and pissed off. You look back out to the sidewalk and watch the rain pick up even harder.
Kyojuro is moving before he can even think. He pulls his umbrella out, opens the door and casts the umbrella open. He turns back to you with a soft smile on his face. The two of you are silent as you stare at one another, unmoving for a few seconds.
"Let me walk you to your car. You can even take the whole umbrella if you want and just get it back to me tomorrow." His voice breaks the silence first. You study his eyes before stepping forward.
"You can just walk me over. I wouldn't want you to be without one too." You give him a grin and the two of you begin the short walk to your car. He holds the umbrella over you until you shut your car door. You crack your window, slightly shouting a thank you to him. He steps back and gives you a small wave as you pull off into the street. Kyojuro walks calmly to his own vehicle, a smile never leaving his cheeks.
^^^
This goes on for a couple weeks; little morning surprises of either breakfast or coffee, chats in the elevator and lobby when the two of you are leaving at the same time. It's almost a routine at this point. The two of you have grown closer and you've started to notice more about him. You notice the flush that rushes to his cheeks when you step onto the elevator or look into his eyes, the way he's truly interested in the things you say. You could say that you've developed a crush on him.
He's had a crush on you for a while now. He noticed you the day you first started a month ago. Your brilliant smile and kind aura started pulling him to you immediately. He watches the way you observe him when the two of you talk after work. The way your eyes scan him from head to toe, trying your best to be inconspicuous; how attentive you are when he talks about his hobbies and passions in life. It makes his heart practically melt. Although, he feels a pain in his chest when he watches your body language. You fold on on yourself a lot and try your best to hide your body; pulling your blazer or cardigan tighter around your form every now and again. He's always wondered why you do it.
Today is like no other, a late night, but you aren't as angry about it anymore. You're looking forward to seeing a familiar individual as you make your way towards the elevators. You clutch a small piece of paper you've prepared in your left hand as you frantically tap the down button, anxiety taking over your peppy mood. The doors slide open, that ray of sunshine beaming on the other side.
"(Y/n)! How was your day?" Kyojuro's happy-go-lucky tone always warms your heart and immediately calms you as you step inside the elevator.
"It was...alright, I guess." You sigh and run your right hand through your hair. You shift on your feet as you look back up at him.
"Tough day?" He asks with a softer smile this time. You nod and the doors slide open to show off the lobby.
"I had to cover the work for three people who called out today. I barely got everything done." You pull your sweater together around you as the two of you step outside the building; your nerves are getting the better of you again. You turn to him as always with a soft smile on your cheeks.
“That's a shame. I can't believe they work you like that.” Kyojuro’s large hand pats your shoulder gently trying to reassure you. You shrug with a sigh as your gaze moves to the light traffic in the street.
“It's whatever at this point. Not a whole lot I can do about it.” You look back up at him when his hand squeezes your shoulder lightly.
“They don't deserve a worker like you, (y/n). Tell them no every once and a while. Don't let them work you into an early grave. Enjoy your life.” His words are authentic, laced with a tone so sweet you can almost feel your teeth hurting. Your cheeks instantly darken to a deep pink and you go to run your left hand through your hair, stopping when you hear the crinkling of the paper still in your palm. Seeing your tense reaction, Kyojuro withdrawals his hand and gives you a quick goodbye before turning towards his vehicle. Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. The panic causes you to start shaking as you take a step gingerly in his direction.
“Kyojuro! Wait!” You call out to him as your feet pick up to a small jogging pace. He turns promptly, eyes wide as he watches you approach him. You shakily hand him the small paper in your hand, your eyes on the ground, “P-please take this..” He gently grabs the small page and unfolds it. His eyes grow even wider as he looks over its contents, “I-its my number..call or t-test me some time...if you want to that is..” Your shaky gaze moves up to his, eyes locking. You quickly pull your sweater tighter around you, hoping to create a safe little space in case of rejection.
“I would love to. Thank you, (y/n).” Kyojuro’s cheeks tint themselves similarly to yours as the two of you smile simultaneously.
“O-of course!” You almost jump for joy right then, but control yourself long enough to say your goodbyes to one another and make it into your car.
You arrive at your apartment not long after that. Just as you shut and lock your door, a notification dings on your phone from an unknown number. Your heart begins to race as you quickly open it.
Unknown:
‘Hey (y/n)! It's Kyojuro! :D’
He really is adorable. You smile to yourself as you save the number under the name Kyo.
You:
‘Hey Kyo! Wait, is it okay to call you that..?’
Kyo:
‘Absolutely! It's perfectly fine! Actually, if you don't mind, would you want to go to the bakery by the office with me tomorrow after work?’
That was how you two went on your very first ‘date’. They very quickly became a regular thing for you guys over the next few weeks. Usually it was to places close to the office, but occasionally, like today, it was more romantic.
You both have the day off, so Kyojuro opted to treat you. He keeps telling you it's a surprise no matter how much you beg him to reveal his master plan. He's currently on his way to pick you up and you can't stop fussing over your outfit. Everything you've pulled from your closet and tried on has fit weird or hugged you in ways you didn't like. Your self-conscious nature begins to get the better of you as you stare at yourself in the mirror. Your makeup was done, your hair was down, but the outfits were discouraging you. You eyeball the pile in front of you as you think over what Kyojuro had said ‘wear something nice, but comfortable :)’. You sigh and dig through again, grabbing the first thing you had tried on: a black sweater, black flowy skirt, and black tights. You quickly dress just as a notification pops up on your phone. Fuck, he's here already. You pull on a pair of black sneakers and grab your purse on your way out of the door.
Kyojuro has to blink a few times as he watches you approach his car. You look incredibly stunning. He's so lost in his thoughts that he doesn't notice that you're directly in front of him now.
“Kyo? You okay?” You ask and gently place a hand on his cheek. He quickly snaps out of it and nods with his signature smile.
“Of course! You're just..” He pauses to think over the exact word to use, “...so ravishing.” You stand there stunned for a moment.
“R-really?” You inquire. He nods as he helps you into the passenger seat of his car.
After about 20 minutes of driving, you arrive at what appears to be a huge festival. There are food stands everywhere and game booths filling up the empty spaces. Colorful lights are hanging around and tons of people fill the street. As the two of you step out of his car, you can hear the live music that's playing off in the distance. A huge smile pulls at your lips as you grab Kyojuro’s hand.
“Kyo, this is amazing! How did you know this was going on? I had no idea!” Your enthusiasm amuses him. He had no idea you would be this excited, but he's very pleased with himself.
“I heard a couple of people at the office talk about it. I thought it would be fun!” He beams at you, shining brighter than the setting sun behind him. You squeeze his hand as you bounce with excitement.
“You thought right! Come on! Let's go!” You tighten your grip on his hand as you hurriedly pull him through the crowd of people. He can't help the warm feeling spreading through his entire being from the contact point between the two of you. PDA hasn't been used by the two of you very much..up until this point that is. He watches your gaze fall on a booth just ahead and you slow your pace to a stop. He follows your eyes to a large plush cat hanging from the top of the game stand. It's one of the ‘toss the ball to knock over the bottles’ type of activity. You quickly pay for three rounds and get to work. None. You hit none. Not even one bottle. You pout and go to turn away. A sudden hand slamming onto the counter makes you jump back towards the brief commotion. Kyojuro has his hand on the wood, the same amount of money underneath it.
“Let me try for you.” He gives me a wink as he takes his first throw. Every. Single. Bottle. How strong is this guy?! They fly in all directions beside the man running the stand. The poor guy looks back at the two of you, a shocked expression gracing his older features. His gaze flicks up the the plushies above him.
“S-so which one would you like?” His tone wavers a bit. Kyojuro points to the one you had been staring at with a smile. The man unhooks it and hands it to the large ray of sunshine, who in turn hands it to you. You stare into the face of your new prize, utterly amazed.
The rest of the evening seems to go similarly, except you keep straying away from the food vendors. Kyojuro catches on, a little upset that you aren't fully enjoying yourself. He notices you keep glancing towards a candied fruit stand whenever you two would pass it. While you are preoccupied with some sort of water pistol game, he sneaks back to the beautifully set up stand.
You throw your hands up in victory just as you win. Another plush has now been added to your slowly growing collection. You turn around in your seat to show Kyojuro, but he's no longer behind you. You stand up and glance around, eyes landing on his large form making his way back to you through the crowd. You smile up at him and hold out your new prize.
“I got another kitty!” You exclaim as you once again bounce on the balls of your feet. He looks down at you with a sparkle in his eyes. His hands move from behind his back to reveal a variety box of candied fruits. Tears begin to form in the corners of your eyes as you look from his face to the box and back to his face. He notices your change in expression and tilts his head to the side in concern. You place your free hand against his cheek once again as a smile spreads on your features, “T-thank you so much, Kyo.” Your voice cracks slightly as you reach out and take a small or age slice in between your fingers. You hold it up to his mouth with a giggle. He takes in gingerly with his teeth and chuckles back at you.
“You're very welcome. I saw you glance at the stand a lot, so I thought you'd enjoy them.” He holds a strawberry out towards your lips, a smirk on his face. You blush as you take the sweet treat into your mouth and almost melt into a puddle. It's so good. You hum happily as you chew.
“This..is so good.” You say as you swallow. He nods before taking your hand gently and leading you to where a crowd of people has begun to form.
Fireworks soon begin bursting overhead. Bright colors fill the sky as the large group of people ogle at them. Kyojuro looks down at you, watching the fireworks burst in the reflection of your eyes making them appear as if they're sparkling. His hand leaves yours and gently lifts your chin to face him. Just as you lock eyes, he leans down and presses his lips against yours. They're soft and warm with a hint of citrus from the candied oranges he's been eating. Not only were the fireworks in the sky, but they were now flying between the two of you. You close your eyes and lean into him. Incredible.
^^^
The two of you have been officially dating for two weeks now. The night of the festival solidified the mutual feelings and you've been together ever since. The pace has been slow, but, to be honest, you're thankful. You worry about how he'll eventually want to see you in all of your glory, except you don't yourself in any sort of “glory”. You don't want him to think of you differently based on how your body looks, so you're trying your best to not push things too quickly...even if you want to.
Tonight you've invited Kyojuro over for dinner. You're currently making all of his favorites that are within your limits. You glance at the clock as you set the final dish onto the stovetop to cool; perfectly timed. He should be there any minute now. This isn't the first time he's been to your apartment, but it is the first time you've cooked for him. A loud knock interrupts your thoughts and you shuffle quickly to the door. You swing the door open to reveal a casually dressed Kyojuro holding a bouquet of your favorite flowers.
“I got these for you! They're not quite as beautiful as you are, but I hope you like them.” His tone of voice is precious. He has the sweetest soul. You take them from his hand and lead him inside. He stops at your kitchen counter, eyes wide as he surveys the absolute buffet you've created. You set the flowers in the sink before grabbing the last bit of food.
“Surprise!” You say as you place the last dish in front of him, “I made all of your favorite things!” You gesture happily to the food in front of you as you watch a huge smile form on his lips. Kyojuro moves around the counter and quickly snatches you up in a bear hug. He quickly covers your cheeks in kisses. You giggle as you wrap your arms around his neck. He lands his last kiss on your lips and cups your cheek gently with his hand. He breaks from your lips and looks into your eyes.
“Thank you so much. This is amazing.” He rests his forehead on yours and moves his hands to your waist, pulling you in tighter against him. Your cheeks flush as you bite your lip.
“I-its no problem! I'm happy I could make all of this for you.” You tilt your head to the side and peck the tip of his nose, “Let's eat, shall we?” He nods as you pull away and begin making him a plate.
Kyojuro leans back in his seat and slaps a hand on his belly. You giggle as you watch him, standing and grabbing his empty plate from in front of him.
“You really are incredible, you know?” He says as he stands. You give him a slight smirk as you set the dirty dishes into the sink and place the bouquet into a tall glass of water.
“I try my best.” You turn the meet him by the table, but run face first into his chest. You look up at him as he chuckles. He places his hands on your waist and hoists you up onto the counter next to the sink. A blush quickly darkens your cheeks as he boxes you in between his arms. He leans down inches from your face with a look in his eyes you've never seen before.
“I'm serious.” He gently rakes a hand through your hair and rests it on your cheek, “You're the most incredible person I've ever met.” He kisses your forehead gently, “You're driven.” He kisses your cheek, “You're beautiful.” He kisses your other cheek, “You're talented.” He kisses the tip of your nose, “You're amazing.” He presses his lips to yours and pulls you closer to him. Your knees graze his thighs which causes you to part your legs slightly. You move your arms around his neck as the two of you begin to deepen the kiss. You run your fingers through his soft hair as he runs his tongue along your bottom lip. You invite him in with little hesitation. Your tongues dance with one another, sparks clouding your vision and mind, absentmindedly spreading your legs as he pulls you closer to him. His hands slide to your hips, griping them gently. You pull away slightly and look him in the eye.
“K-Kyo...I’m not sure about this..” The worry in your eyes shines brightly, hazy in your eyes. Kyojuro tilts his head slightly.
“I'm sorry if I have made you uncomfortable-” You cut him off before he can continue.
“No! No, it's not that...” You look down towards your body causing him to do the same, “I'm just worried..” You release a breath you didn't know you were holding, “I'm just worried that you'll be disappointed...” Your tone is sadder than it previously was. He gently lifts your chin to face him again, a soft smile on his face.
“There is no way you could disappoint me, darling.” The pet name sets your face on fire and immediately shoots to your crotch. You bite your lip and scrunch your eyebrows at him.
“A-are you sure..?” You ask softly. He nods and pecks your lips again.
“I'm very sure.” He grips your hips again, this time a bit rougher. He pulls you to the edge of the counter causing you to spread your legs around his even more. The movement pushes the skirt you're wearing to the top of your thighs, revealing the soft skin beneath.
His lips are quickly on yours again. You move in tandem with one another and matching each other’s pace. His grip on your hips moves up your torso slowly before suddenly stopping. He parts from your lips and waits for approval before continuing. You nod your head quickly, claiming his lips once again. His hands lightly graze your breasts before cupping them gently through your shirt. A soft whine emits from behind your lips. That lights the blaze within him.
Before you know it, his rough hands are underneath your shirt. He gently runs his hands up your sides until he finds your breasts again. He massages them gently through your bra eliciting more soft noises from you. His kisses trail from your lips to your jawline and then to your neck. He almost immediately finds the spot that makes you weak in the knees. A moan slips from your lips as your body shudders from the pleasure. Kyojuro chuckles as he gently nips the skin there and slips his hands underneath your bra. Your skin is so soft against his hands. He rolls your nipples between his fingers as he makes his way back up to your lips. Your hands tug slightly at the hair on the nape of his neck. A delicate whine erupts in his throat as he hungrily kisses you. He moves his hands away from your chest and slightly tugs on the hem of your shirt. You pull away from his lips and pull the garment over your head, tossing it on the floor.
“Oh my god..” His words are quiet as he looks over your nearly bare torso. The feeling to cover up runs up your spine. Just as you are about to wrap your arms around yourself, he grabs your wrists, “Don't. You're even more beautiful than I imagined..” His words are breathless. He watches as your skin blushes at his words and a smirk drapes on his lips, “Before I continue, are you sure you want to continue?” His eyes are sincere as he looks into yours.
“Yes...” Your voice is practically nonexistent. The corners of your lips tug slightly as you press your lips to his almost aggressively.
You have had sex before, so this isn't your first rodeo, but the other times weren't really that great. The men you were with laughed at you afterward. They would remark about how you were lucky they would want to fuck a cow like you. You're so thankfully it isn't like that this time.
Kyojuro slips his hands under your thighs and holds you against his body as your lips dance together. He carries you to your bedroom and gently lays you down on your bed. He quickly slips off his shirt and your jaw goes slack. He's even more ripped than you thought. He chuckles as he lifts your gaze to his eyes. You bite your lip and reach around behind your back.
“You can't be the only one bare chested, right?” You smirk and lift an eyebrow at him. His eyes widen as you unhook your bra and slip it off your shoulders slowly. A lustful look bursts in his eyes as you drop the article of clothing on the floor by the bed.
“So beautiful...” He mutters as he dips his head to kiss down your neck and chest. He trails kisses between your breasts, cupping one in his hand. His lips move up and take your hardened nipple between his lips. Your back arches slightly as a soft moan emits from you. He sucks on it gently before grazing it with his teeth. Your soft sounds push him further and he moves to the other one, massaging the previous one with his hand as he gently sucks and nips at your breast. His other hand grips at your thigh, spreading it away from the other to make more room for himself between your legs.
Every action of his shoots straight to your core. You can already feel yourself soaking through your underwear. Your whines and loans become more desperate as his hands begin to tease your inner thighs. They massage and rub the skin there as he continues to push your legs apart. His lips move down from your breasts and begin to kiss around your stomach. You watch him tenderly kiss the visible stretch marks that litter your skin causing an even deeper blush to burn your cheeks. His eyes flick up to you, adoration and a pleading look in his eyes. You nod vigorously at his unspoken question.
The next thing you feel is his hand cupping your pussy with his hand. Both of you gasp at the different sensations the two of you experience; he, the wetness of the fabric and you, the heat of his hand you want so desperately to be closer to you.
“Please Kyo...” You whine at him. He looks up into your pleading eyes before he slips off the thin piece of fabric and your skirt. His eyes rake over your completely bare form, the painful erection in his pants twitching at the sight. His eyes fall to the blossom between your legs and he spreads them further apart. His pupils blow out completely as he runs two fingers up your slit. Your breath hitches in your throat as he collects the wetness on your clit and rubs light and slow circles. A deep moan pushes through your throat as he picks up a bit of speed.
“Ah!~” You cry out as he buries those two fingers inside your wet heat. He groans as your clench around them and slowly begins to pump them in and out of you.
“So good for me..~” He praises you softly as he picks up speed. Your whines and moans echo off of your bedroom walls, almost overtaken by the squelching of your pussy around his fingers. More slick coats his fingers his he picks up an almost brutal pace. His opposite hand rubs circles on your clit and causes your back to arch. The coil deep within you builds more and more until Kyojuro bumps that spongy spot within you. Your vision goes white and your fingers grip the sheets as your orgasm overtakes you. Kyojuro moans as you squeeze his fingers, continuing his ministrations until he feels you relax. You whine and sigh as you try to catch your breath, watching as he sticks his fingers in his mouth to clean them off. You groan at the erotic sight before you.
He stands up slowly and unhooks his belt. He swiftly slides both his pants and boxers to the floor and kicks them to the side. Your eyes widen as you look at the massive cock before you. You've never seen one as big as his and it's almost pretty. A flushed pink tip that's already dripping pre-cum, not too long, a prominent vein running along the left side, girthy, and a slight right curve to it; magnificent. He runs a hand over his cock, pumping it a couple of times.
“Do you..have protection?” He asks softly. Your eyes widen as you shake your head a bit.
“I don't, but I'm on the pill if that's any consolation...” You chuckle and run a hand through your hair, “I wasn't really prepared for something like this.” You scoot back to your pillows and beckon him forward with your finger. He almost drools as he crawls towards you.
“I don't mind at all.” He brushes a piece of hair behind your ear before capturing your lips with his once again. You wrap your arms around his neck deepening the kiss. You both moan and sigh in each other's mouths as Kyojuro pushes your knees to your chest. He parts from your lips and lightly runs his tip through your soaking folds. You whine as he collects the slick on his tip before lining up with your entrance, “Let me know if it's too much. I don't want to hurt you, darling.” He caresses your cheek gently as you nod.
He pushes in slightly and you both groan simultaneously. He continues slowly, pushing in inch by inch until he's buried to the hilt inside of your silky heat. You dig your nails into his shoulders leaving crescent moon shapes in his skin. He slides your legs over his shoulders as he sits up on his knees. He stares lovingly into your lidded eyes as he slowly pulls his hips back and snaps them forward. Your back arches from the slight overstimulation as he begins to pick up a slow rhythm.
Your moans and sighs grow stronger as his pace picks up. You grip at the sheets around you, your eyes rolling back into your head as you moan out his name. Kyojuro presses your legs back and wide open giving him the best view of his cock disappearing inside of you.
“So perfect...taking me so well darling...” He sighs out, moving one of his hands to grip your hip and the other rubbing circles on your clit. Slick gushes from your pussy as his trusts pick up a brutal pace, slamming into you with reckless abandon. He's so deep and grazing that special spot within you with every thrust. The coil begins to tighten quickly in your core.
“Kyo..cant...too much...~” You moan out loudly and massage one of your breasts in your hand. Kyojuro moans at the sight before him and goes faster. Both of his hands grip your hips and he relentlessly pounds into you. Your moans turn to cries of his name as your end approaches quickly.
“Cum darling...cum on my cock..~” He groans out as he feels you clench around his length. Practically on command you come undone.
“KYO!~” He watches as you throw your head back and tense up, succumbing to your second orgasm. His resolve crumbles as he begins to chase his own release. His thrusts become erratic and sloppy, your gushing pussy continuing to clench around him as your blinding orgasm continues to wreck your body. One, two, three more pumps and he's pulling out. He pumps his length a couple of times before he shoots ribbons across your stomach. He groans out your name as he finishes, watching you beneath him. The two of you take a moment to catch your breath and just stare at each other. Kyojuro holds up a finger and hops off the bed walking out of the bedroom and down the hallway. You stare up at the ceiling, flashbacks of every other time before this playing in your mind. Before they get too vivid, a damp rag running across your skin pulls you back to reality. You sigh at the same feeling as your eyes find Kyojuro leaning over you, wet rag in hand.
“We don't want this getting in the way, do we?” He asks with a soft smile on his face. You reach up and caress his cheek as he finishes cleaning you up. He leaves with the rag and returns quickly, an extra blanket in hand from the hallway closet. He fluffs it out over the bed and crawls next to you. He pulls you gently against his chest and nuzzles his nose into your hair. You sigh as you melt in his arms.
There's nowhere else you'd rather be than here, in this moment, with Kyojuro.
