complexing | [005] double overtime [audio]

[Yukito smiles a little to himself, shifting a bit so he can attend to the other wing as well.]

Hmm, learn what?

[Learn how to turn him on like that? He shouldn't say that, though. It might make Yuki uncomfortable.]

How to give such amazing wing massages? You should do that every morning, they always feel stiff in the morning.

[Yukito gives a quiet chuckle, running a light fingertip along the top edge of Touya's wing.]

Somehow I got the idea in my head that you might like that.

[And someone is a little put out that Yukito said anything about where he got that idea, so he'll just change the subject quickly.]

When we went over bird's wings in biology I paid a lot of attention, because... well, I was thinking about Yue-san. Ours aren't quite like ordinary bird's wings, but these, here, these smaller feathers here are coverts, and these are secondaries... these are primaries...

[He traces a fingertip over the appropriate feathers as he names them, then carefully slides his fingers through the primaries when he reaches them.]

[And Touya's just barely able to get the mushrooms and onions into the creme stock and covered. Better move away from the stove if Yuki's going to keep preening him like this. He's liable to put his hands on the stove or bite his lip off at this rate. Dinner, focus on dinner, Yuki's hungry.]

Well if anyone should know about feathers, it's you two. [He takes the beef medallions out of the fridge and starts looking for the pan to braise them in.]

Most of my experience with them is from after I came here, though. I've never actually seen Yue-san's wings, after all...

[One last brush across the feathers and Yukito leaves the wings alone again for the time being, instead peeking over Touya's shoulder to see what he's up to now.]

Is it almost ready?

Ready? [Touya laughs as he puts the prepared seasoned potatoes into the oven and starts on the beef.] We're a ways off, dear, thanks to you fondling my wings. You've got another twenty minutes.

[It turns into about thirty minutes, of course, since Yuki can't stop distracting Touya. But finally both plates are done and set out on the counter.]

[Yukito is entirely innocent when it comes to attempts to distract Touya. Really. But when the food is ready he'll step away with at least some reluctance and admire the finished product.]

It smells wonderful. I suppose this was worth waiting for, hmm?

I hope so, otherwise I'll have gone through sheer torture to get us fed. [He laughs and carries the plates to the table and sets them down. After fetching the matches and lighting the candles on the table, he turns down the lights and pulls out Yuki's chair for him.]

Sir? [He smiles and makes a sweeping gesture to indicate Yuki should sit.]

Why, thank you.

[Yukito takes the offered seat with a quiet laugh, eyes dancing as he surveys the table and settings. It's not so much that Touya made dinner as that he'd made an effort for it to be a special dinner, and all just for him. It makes him feel both happy and humbled at the same time, and incredibly lucky as well.]

I'm glad I have you to share this with, Touya.

I'm glad we have each other today, too. [He sits down next to Yuki, smiling at his reaction to the table. It's nice, knowing that despite not knowing what to do, somehow it all worked out. And of course there's the thing he planned for after dinner, which he did plan.]

[Touya easily cuts a slice of one of his medallions and offers it to Yuki.] And this is the part where you tell me it's delicious and I'm brilliant.

[Yukito accepts the bite and chews thoughtfully, eyes half-closing as he does, considering it like a judge on a tv cooking show. He lets the moment draw out, then looks at Touya again with a bright smile.]

All right, because it is and you definitely are.

[And he'll demonstrate just how much he likes it by finishing off every last bit of food on his plate at a slightly slower pace than normal; he's taking his time to savor it, because the food really is that good and Touya put a lot of work into it just for him so he wants to appreciate it.]

[Amazing. Touya's almost done by the time Yuki finishes--usually he's only about halfway. Maybe he would have been completely done if he hadn't been watching Yuki enjoying his food with a soft, pleased smile. As though nothing in the world could possibly come between him and the happiness he's feeling right now.]

[Once he's had his fill, he stands up and takes Yuki's hand.] Come with me for a minute. I'll take care of the dishes after.

Oh, but... you cooked, so I should clean up. It's only fair.

[And just leaving dirty dishes seems wrong somehow. But despite the protest Yukito rises without hesitating, giving Touya's hand a light squeeze.]

We can do them together, later. Now I have something for you. [He briefly kisses Yuki's forehead before pulling him to the door. After jackets are donned, he takes Yuki around back: there's a ladder against the roof, and someone has installed a small ledge up there for sitting. In Touya's mind, it's as much for him and Yuki to look at the stars as it is for Yue if he ever wanted Touya's company (without the danger of him sliding off the roof). It's cold and a light snow is falling, so Touya figures they won't be up there very long--but he did think to put a blanket up there and another candle, to make the few minutes they have up there a little more bearable.]

You want to go up for a few minutes? I know it's cold and all...

[Yukito glances up and sees the new ledge, recognizing it and realizing that it's a gift for both of them; he can tell Yue realizes it as well from what he can sense of the guardian's reaction, and that only makes him smile all the brighter. He leans against Touya lightly, lifting their joined hands to brush a kiss across Touya's knuckles as the look in his eyes easily conveys just how pleased he is.]

You couldn't keep me from going up there. It must be the best sky-watching spot in the entire village.

[Thank goodness he likes it. Touya knew it was cold out, and that the weather would probably impede him from doing anything special at all, but at least there's this. A few minutes up in their own place, up away from it all, with just the sky to keep them company.]

[He beams when Yuki agrees to go up and grabs a broom he stuck next to the ladder.] Let's find out--give me a second, then I'll help you up. [He's up the ladder in a few bounds and on the ledge without much difficulty. It's got several support beams in it, so he can stand easily and sweep off the snow and remove the blanket from the plastic bag he kept it in until the moment came.]

Okay, come on up. [He sits down at the edge closer to the ladder, waiting to extend a hand to help Yuki onto the roof.]

[Yukito doesn't really mind the cold that much -- he isn't quite as likely to ignore it as his other self, but being outside isn't bothering him too much. This is especially true with the prospect of spending time with Touya; he's always perfectly willing to put up with a little discomfort in a good cause.

He obediently climbs up the ladder when prompted, taking Touya's hand for the last little bit and pausing to look around once up on the ledge, eyes wide and bright and expression delighted.]

It really is nice up here. Isn't it?

[The last part is directed more inward than out, accompanied by a momentary lack of focus peculiar to those times when he's talking to Yue.]

I'm glad you like it. [Touya smiles and drapes the blanket over himself and Yuki, drawing the other closer to him by his waist. He built this so he could spend time with Yuki and Yue up here, and he damn well intends to spend it holding him.]

I can't just get you anything for our first Valentine's Day together. I have to get you something you'll remember forever.

[It doesn't take much to encourage Yukito to get closer, especially when it's cold out and there's a blanket involved. He rests his head on Touya's shoulder, cuddling up against him with a quiet, contended sigh.]

Hm, you say that like I could somehow forget any moment of our time together. Just... being with you is all the gift I ever wanted.

[And the close proximity of Touya's neck is just a little too tempting there, so he'll punctuate that with a soft brush of lips against his throat.]

[Touya blushes, running his fingers through the hair at the nape of Yuki's neck affectionately. The kiss is very much appreciated, obviously, since Touya's now wrapping his arm around Yuki's shoulders. For warmth, obviously.]

You keep telling me that, but it isn't going to make me think you deserve anything less than the whole world and then some. [He nuzzles Yuki's temple a little, then puts a small, soft kiss on his cheek. He can look at the snow in a little bit, he's dealing with a different sort right now.]

The whole world?

[Yukito laughs quietly, unsuccessfully attempting to suppress a shiver at the brush of fingers through his hair.]

I don't know what I'd do with that if I had it. I'll be happy with just this piece of it.

[He lifts a hand to rest against Touya's cheek and with gentle pressure encourages him to tilt his head down enough that Yukito can demonstrate just how happy he is with a rather firm and intent kiss.]

[Touya doesn't have much time to think of a response before Yuki's kissing him, enthusiastically. As their days passed as a couple, Touya was definitely feeling less and less as though he were the only one to feel some passion. Yuki was just so innocent, that the first few times he'd pulled at Touya's hair or climbed onto him when they were on the couch had thrown him. Now, it was just an electrifying experience every single time.]

[He moves his hand from Yuki's hair to his cheek, mirroring what the other is doing. Smiling, he lets Yuki take the lead for a bit, winding a hand around the other's waist.]
