complexing | [005] double overtime [audio]

[Yukito wanted to make Valentine's chocolates, but didn't want Touya to know about it, so... he's off in an unoccupied kitchen in one of the community housing buildings.]

What were you planning to do? You're not going somewhere, are you?

[...and color him slightly oblivious. He just wants to make sure Touya will be there when he's finished, so he can deliver the chocolate properly.]

[And guess who is suddenly feeling a little, no VERY attached. Oh man, he hasn't done his boyfriendly duty, this is awful.]

No, of course I'm not going anywhere. I was just trying to do something special, but I can't think of anything.

[Aaaand likewise Yukito suddenly realizes that he really, really misses being around Touya despite the fact that it's only been a couple hours. Good thing he was just finishing up, but the sounds of him quickly and neatly packing the chocolate away can be heard in the background.]

Something special for the holiday? You certainly don't have to...

What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't do something to show how much I love you? Especially today?

The fact that I'm still alive is a very good sign of that.

You know that wasn't a big deal... [Though he's happy it's made Yuki happy. He never wanted it to be something he could point to where Yuki was concerned, though.] I'd do it again if I could. I'd do it as many times as you wanted me to.

[It meant quite a lot to Yukito, but it's a topic that they've always kind of avoided out of unspoken agreement. He finishes packing up the chocolate and does a last sweep of the kitchen to make sure he's cleaned up all his stuff.]

I know.

I'll be home in a few minutes, okay? We can talk when I get there.

Yeah, okay.

[Except so not okay. He's not ready at all--he has no food, no chocolate, and his gift isn't even wrapped yet. He'll have to settle on putting the roses he picked up into a vase. That's probably about as much time as he has before Yuki gets home.]

[Some times it's annoying that Yue picked the house that's farthest away from everything, but today it'll give Touya a few extra minutes before Yukito gets there, at least? Yukito isn't terribly thrilled by the delay, though, and walks as fast as he dares without disturbing the box of chocolates he's carrying.

As soon as the house is in sight he can't help the sudden grin that appears, and he all but bounces cheerfully through the door.]

Touya?

[So he does have a few minutes more than he thought. In that time, he puts the roses in a vase and sets that on their dining room table, and starts wrapping Yuki's gifts. He finishes the chocolate, but before he can get to the second part Yuki comes home.]

I'm here! Be right there! [He shoves it all under his bed and runs out to the living room. When was the last time he was so excited for Yuki to come home?]

Welcome home. [Touya smiles... and doesn't waste any time. He pulls Yuki into a kiss before the other can even take his jacket off.]

[It was probably about the same time Yukito was so ridiculously excited to see Touya again. His expression just lights up when he sees Touya, but his own greeting cuts off in a surprised (but pleased) laugh at the kiss, which he returns with some enthusiasm of his own... though he's careful to hold the box with the chocolates out a little, lest it be jostled.]

[Touya's treating this kiss as though it's the last he'll have for a good long while--but he finally does break it, resting his forehead against Yuki's for a moment before moving to take the box.]

Let me get that for you.

[That was certainly a greeting to remember, and Yukito can't help but feel briefly disappointed when it ends... but then Touya calls the box to his attention and his expression brightens again as he holds it out.]

Oh! It's for you, actually. I mean, it isn't much, but I... I was glad to have someone to give some to this year.

[And inside the festive-looking red box is an assortment of hand-made and very carefully decorated chocolates. Yukito has been very busy today.]

For me? [Touya smiles and wraps an arm around Yuki's waist after taking the box from him. He doesn't open it just yet though, he wants another kiss or... three.]

I can't wait to see what's inside. [Clearly he can wait, though, seeing as he's taking his sweet time putting kisses on Yuki's temple, ear and cheek. At this rate Yuki's never going to step away from the doorway.]

Mm, are you sure?

[The words are half a laugh, an attempt to cover for the light shiver at the brush of lips against his skin. Yukito reaches up his now-freed hand to rest against Touya's cheek, with gentle pressure encouraging him to stay still as Yukito reaches up to steal a kiss of his own, though this one is almost teasingly short, and his voice amused as he adds another comment.]

You have to open the box to see what's inside, you know....

Do I? [He chuckles as he chases after the teasing kiss. Touya plants another firm one on Yuki, then draws back. ...but not before dropping the hand he has around Yuki's waist to give him a pinch somewhere lower.]

Guess you're right~ [He grins and moves out of the entryway so he can open the box.] Mm, they look delicious, Yuki. You decorated all of these by hand, right?

[Yukito jumps a little at the pinch, giving a startled laugh and a mock-chiding look Touya's direction. He's quick to shed his coat and shoes before moving over to Touya's side, leaning against him with chin on his shoulder as he also looks down at the box.]

I wanted them to be special... just for you.

I love them. [He nuzzles Yuki, taking in the scent of his hair before putting another kiss on his head.] They're so beautiful, each one--just like you.

[A faint flush creeps across Yukito's cheeks at that, accompanying the pleased but still slightly shy smile that's half-hidden against Touya's shoulder. He shifts a hand to brush against the feathers of one of Touya's wings, fingertips running lightly along the smaller feathers closer to the top edge.]

It's our first Valentine's together, but I hope you can forgive me for being gone during the first part of it.

Oh, never. [Touya smirks against Yuki's hair. The touches on his wings are nice, too, all things considered. A lot of nerves to love, there. The fact that it's Yuki is a big bonus. Yuki's attentions just feed whatever fire's lit in him. Suddenly, he's kind of glad he made his plans around staying in.]

But maybe I'll forgive you if you'll stay in with me tonight. I have something planned.

Oh, will you?

[Yukito laughs quietly, his fingers tracing the curve of the wing down to where it joins Touya's shoulder. The feathers are softer there, and Yukito carefully traces the outline of one, idly fascinated by the contrast between it and the skin just next to it.

He's half-distracted by Touya's closeness as well, acutely aware of his warmth, his scent, the feel of his chest rising and falling with each breath; somehow it seems even more real than usual, dizzyingly, breathtakingly so. It takes him a second to find the thread of the conversation again, but he covers the lapse with another laugh, voice taking on a teasing air.]

Well, I suppose I could. I admit I'm curious about this mysterious plan of yours.

Oh you suppose, do you? [Touya grins and reaches backwards to clasp the hand that isn't holding the box behind Yuki, holding the other young man to his back. Not firmly, but as firm as one can get holding someone backwards with one arm.]

Well you know, if you leave the house, I'll just have to follow you to your other boyfriend's place. Whisk you away in front of him. Maybe in a bunny costume.

Hmm, well, if it would get you to wear the bunny costume again....

[His tone is so absolutely innocent that it should be warning enough, and a moment later his hand shifts down toward the ticklish spot at Touya's side.]

On second thought, though, it sounds like too much work. I'll just stay here.

[alskdjfd NOT THE TICKLISH SPOT. Touya squirms and lets go of Yuki, clasping the box with both hands so he doesn't drop it. It's a close call, though. Entirely Yuki's fault.]

Tickling without warning is dangerous, you know. And it also invokes retaliation. [He smirks over his shoulder as he walks to set the chocolates down on the table, next to the roses. Then he turns around.] But for now--I thought since it was cold I would make us some soup. Mushrooms okay?
