The bed was much too cold and empty for Ushijima’s liking.
He already spends plenty of nights going to bed alone, but last night wasn’t one of them. A scowl began to grow deeper on Ushijima’s face as he sat up. The sheets and blankets were a mess on his legs and the room was still completely dark. Only a light from the hallway softly filtered in, showcasing that a pair of slippers by the door were missing.
He grumpily started to get out of bed to find out where the hell his husband could be in the middle of the night, until he registered the sweet aroma of something in the air. This wasn’t an unfamiliar scent to drift through their home, but at this time of night, it absolutely was.
Ushijima found his own slippers and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He made his way down the hallway of his warm home until reaching the dimly lit kitchen.
Freshly dirtied bowls were piled up in the sink, the oven light was on conveying a pan inside—which was baking what looked to be brownies, and a tired Satori sat at the dining table. He rested his head on his arm, eyes peering open at the sound of Ushijima entering.
“Satori, what are you doing?” Ushijima made his way closer to his husband. He could clearly see what the man had been up to, aiming this question at why more-so.
Satori shrugged his shoulders and gave Ushijima a lazy grin. “I couldn’t sleep, and have been craving brownies. Also, it’s a slightly new recipe I tried.”
Ushijima could only smile back in response. Satori looked way too cute in his fuzzy socks and matching pajama set to argue with him. Instead, he made his way to sit beside him at the table. He softly brushed the back of his fingers over Satori’s cheek. Satori closed his eyes again, and lifted his own hand up to find Ushijima’s.
“Sorry if I woke you,” Satori whispers, “I’ll come to bed as soon and it’s done.”
“It’s alright, Tori. Was just wondering where you were.” Ushijima leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Satori’s lips. This gained another pretty smile from the older boy.
“Is there any reason why you couldn’t sleep? Something bothering you?”
“No, just couldn’t stay asleep… ‘nd brownies… mmm. My mind is constantly chocolate, Toshi.” Satori stood up now. He grabbed a potholder and made his way to the oven. Poking at the brownies with a utensil, he decided they were ready to get out. He placed the hot dish on the stove and turned off the oven.
“Those will be good for breakfast. With some milk.” Ushijima stated.
The red head chuckled. Ushijima didn’t have that much of a sweet tooth, but would absolutely try anything Satori made. Said he didn’t like store bought stuff anymore because his sweets were just too rich and good to beat.
“You’re right. Let’s head back to bed while they cool.” Satori placed the remaining dishes in the sink. Turning to Ushijima, he reached out his hands.
He led them back to their bedroom. They remove their slippers and make their way back into bed. Ushijima gets comfortable in his spot on the bed, welcoming Satori into his arms.
Satori crawls up to his chest, a content grin lacing his features. Without any words said he leans in and presses his lips to Ushijima’s. Their kiss is gentle and slow, full of love that’s just as sweet as Satori’s treats.
Ushijima traces his fingers along Satori’s jaw, softly urging his mouth further onto his. They kiss languidly for a little longer. Hands grazing all over and small movements lulling them into a sleepy state.
Satori pulls away, his smile still bright. He rests his forehead atop Ushijima’s before kissing him once more on the cheek.
“Let’s get some more rest.”
Satori only answers with a nod and sinks down into Ushijima’s embrace.
