Kouno knew that he loved Natsu for a long time. Almost from the moment they met, he knew that he was in love with his best friend. But for the longest time, he'd thought that Natsu was straight. He hadn't quite dared hope.

Until that Christmas night, when just a little too much sake had rendered him relaxed enough to let out feelings he'd never meant to reveal.

See? If you stay a virgin forever, you'll never have any fun. Ne, Natsu?

But it had been alright, in the end. They'd had some bumps in the road, a few bruises, a few misunderstandings (particularly with Naomichi, though those were more funny than anything else), but in the end they'd managed to work things out.

Kouno blinked out of his thoughts as he felt nimble fingers lift the hair off the back of his neck, soft lips begin pressing kisses along his jaw. He laughed a little, tilting his head obligingly. "Natsuuuu, I need to finish this paper."

"It can wait," Natsu mumbled against his neck, arms snaking around his waist. Kouno laughed again, but gave in and relaxed back against him, hands coming up to tangle in Natsu's dark hair. After awhile, Natsu paused, breath light against Kouno's neck. "Kouno?"

"Hm?" Kouno opened his eyes from where they'd slipped closed, cheeks pleasantly pink from the attention to his neck.

Natsu's hands toyed with the hem of Kouno's shirt, an almost nervous gesture. "That neighbor of yours..."

"Ootomo-san?"

"Yeah, him. He calls you by your first name, doesn't he?"

Kouno blinked, twisting around to peer into Natsu's eyes, not quite seeing the point of the conversation. "Well actually, he calls me Ei-chan, but that's to be expected considering he's older. Does that bother you?"

"Not really..." Natsu sighed, avoiding Kouno's eyes. "Not that Ootomo-san calls you by your first name, anyway. It's just..."

Kouno waited a moment, to see if Natsu would keep talking on his own. "...Just?"

"Just... You call me Natsu, but you've never asked me to call you Eishi, so I haven't..."

"Oh!" Kouno could have smacked himself, he should have seen this coming. He turned in Natsu's arms to face him, and kissed him firmly. "Natsu, it's nothing to do with you. I don't like my first name much, I'm named after one of my uncles, and he's a real jackass. I let Ootomo-san call me Ei-chan because he likes it, but I much prefer if people call me Kouno. Especially you."

"Oh," Natsu grinned a bit, relieved. "Well... good. I guess it was sort of a stupid thing for me to worry over... Kouno."

Kouno smiled warmly, and kissed him again. "Not stupid at all, I would have done the same thing in your place. I'm sorry, I should have thought to explain that sooner."

"No big deal," Natsu's hands were sneaking up the back of Kouno's shirt, making him arch a bit. "When did you say that paper's due?"

"Bastard. Aren't your parents expecting you home?"

"Nope, not tonight," Natsu applied his lips to Kouno's jaw again. "Tonight I'm all yours. And tomorrow, and the day after that, and next month, and on and on forever."

Kouno blushed again, pulling back enough to look at Natsu a bit shyly. "You mean that, Natsu?"

He smiled, nuzzling Kouno's jaw. "Yes. Wherever you are, I'll be."

Kouno tangled his hands in Natsu's hair again as they both tumbled backward onto the futon.
