“Hey, let’s talk about our type.” Tooru initiated. “Are we high-school girls?” Masamune sighed. “Tachibana thinks it will be fun!” Hotaru replied.
Tooru smirked devilishly, “Well then, why don’t we start with Tachibana-kun?” Hotaru’s reaction at first was confusion then turned into embarrassment, “M-me huh? Well, I think a cool and kind person is good enough.” “Boring! You are such a stereotypical innocent boy!” “Well sorry about that..!” Hotaru bashfully mutters. “What about Matsuoka-san? He’s a host, right? That means he has encountered a lot of women! Wouldn’t it be interesting if he has a specific type?” Hotaru points at Masamune.
“Well, I love all types of women. They`re all beautiful and perfect in some way.”
“Ah, his host mode is out.” Hotaru and Tooru both thought. “Y’know I think a real dominant woman is a perfect match for Mattsun.”
“Tachibana can see that!”
“Oi, you two!”
Annoyed, Masamune pointed at Tooru, “What about you?” Hotaru interjects, “Since he’s a pervert, won’t his type be something really perverted?”
“Hmm... My type is…” “AH! NO NEVERMIND! THERE’S A MINOR HERE!” Masamune covered Hotaru’s ears.
While the two were bickering, uncovering the ears, Hotaru spoke up, “Tachibana doesn’t really understand your guys’ relationship that much, but wouldn’t you guys get jealous if your lover spoke of their type?”
The two stopped, “Lover?”
“Aren’t you guys dating?” Hotaru asked, dumbfounded.
Silence filled the room.
"Oh yeah, of cour-" "NO?! We aren't lovers!" Tooru faked hurt and proceeded to fake sob on the floor. “I can’t believe it Mattsun! So all of those moments between us were fake?”
“What moments? I believe all of the moments we had were normal platonic interactions?!”
Tooru proceeded to cry harder.
“It seems Tachibana has misunderstood. Tachibana understands now!” Hotaru said, breaking the commotion.
“Wait, I’m kinda worried about what you understood.” Masamune said.
“Maybe Mattsun wants me to wear sexy tight clothes for him to acknowledge our love?” “You’re still on that topic?!”
“But what type of sexy tight clothes would he like?” Hotaru asked. “Hotaru… Please drop this!” Masamune plead.
“Since Mattsun is popular with office workers, maybe an office uniform?” Tooru continued, “I would totally look sexy in an office uniform, maybe that’s what I need to seduce Mattsun.” Tooru blushed.
“...”
“Tachibana thinks it’s a great plan!” “Please Hotaru, Just stop trying to encourage him.” Masamune deadpans.
“We are a real bad influence on that kid, huh?” Tooru laughed.
After the trio had finished eating dinner together, the adults sent Hotaru back to his apartment. Then, the rest of the two decided to smoke a cigarette on the balcony.
“Well, I hope he won’t end up like us pathetic adults.” Masamune sighed, looking at the night sky. “I probably wouldn’t worry, that kid’s sense of justice is strong, he probably would end up okay in the future.” Tooru replied while relishing in the cold breeze.
“Heh, you’re right.” Masamune smiled.
A pregnant silence after that. But well, it wasn’t an uncomfortable one.
“...Hey.” Masamune stared at Tooru breaking the pleasant silence.
“Hm?” Tooru replied, still not looking at him.
“You would… actually look cute in one.” That caught Tooru’s attention.
“...In what?”
“You know, in the office uniform.” Masamune blushed, turning his attention back to the sky.
“Ew pervert.” “You were the one who suggested it!” Tooru laughed at him. “Hahaha!!!! Did you actually imagined it? Mattsun you pervert!” Tooru lightly punched him on the shoulder.
“Ugh! Whatever, shut up!” Masamune frustratedly puts out his bud on the railings.
“Hmm, but if it’s Mattsun I think I wouldn’t mind you finding me cute.” Tooru grinned. “What do you mean by that?” “I wonder?”
“Ah, but it will be only fair if you wore a bunny suit for me.” Tooru teased. “No way in hell!” Masamune angrily replied.
Throwing out his cigarette, Tooru scoots close to Masamune, “Hey, remember when you said about how I can’t leave your side easily?” “Ah, that huh.” “You were cool when you said that.”
Masamune looked beside him to see Tooru admiring the sky, “Of course.” Masamune responded.
It was sort of out of place for Tooru to bring that up now, but Masamune of course doesn’t mind since he was being complimented after all. “You wanna head back? It’s getting late.” Asked Masamune. Tooru gave a slight nod in response. “Well then, I’ll see you tomorrow.” As Masamune tries to head back, there was a grab on his shirt. “Hm?” He looked behind him to see Tooru in a pose of a blushing maiden, “Good night to you.” He said in a voice attempting to sound cute.
“???”
“Ah, did you not find that cute?” Tooru asked, turning into his normal self. “I don’t think anybody would.” “Isn’t this what every man dreamed of? A cute girl blushing saying good night to them?” “Where’s the cute girl?!”
“Pfft.” Tooru chuckled. At that moment though, one thought that went across Masamune’s head was ‘ cute.’
Err, what?
Masamune can feel the heat rising up to his face. “Agh!” Hands quickly covered his embarrassed face. “Are… you okay, Mattsun?” A worried tone laced the question. “Yep, totally.”
“Why are you covering your face then?” “No reason.” “Aw c’mon, what happened?” Tooru tried to force the hands to move away. It was a battle of strength and it seems unlikely any of them would win. Tired from the fight, Tooru jabbed Masamune on the ribs which got a yelp coming from him.
“Fuhu, are you blushing?” Since Masamune’s defence of his face has been defeated, his bright red face was on full display for Tooru. “Wah! Don’t say anything!” They were both on the floor with Tooru on top of Masamune. Tooru thought it will be a good idea for him to tease Masamune more by hugging him on the chest. “Ugh, what are you doing?” “Hugging Mattsun of course.”
“Get off me, you’re heavy.”
“How rude, even though Mattsun is so soft I can’t help sleeping on top of you.”
“I’m not your personal cushion.”
“Ahh... Whatever let me stay like this for a while.”
Masamune sighed at Tooru’s childish antics. He patted the male on top of him, the action made the said male blush a little. “Hmph, Mattsun you idiot. Notice already.” Tooru mumbled, pushing his face more onto Masamune’s chest. Masamune could almost hear Tooru say something, but it wasn’t coherent enough for him to understand.
“Did you say something?”
“Probably your imagination.”
Masamune gave him a questionable look but let it go since he was tired from arguing. The two stayed like that for a while before returning to their respective abode. Exchanging good nights with each other.
It was just another day of them enjoying each other’s presence. Maybe one day, their relationship will change, But for now, they are just grateful to be at each other’s side.
