<><><><><><><><><><>
Junno arrived just in time to catch Tatsuya’s first sigh.
“You’re late”.
“I’m sorry”, Junno clasped his hands with a small bow and an apologetic smile. “We had an emergency”.
“Oh”, Tatsuya looked him up and down, “Are you alright?”
“Yeah”, Junno bounced beside him with a grocery trolley, “Nothing too dangerous”.
Tatsuya only hummed to signal he was listening before replying, “Couldn’t you have found a safer career?”
“It is safe”.
“How is being a fire fighter safe?”
“I save lives?”
“At the risk of your own”.
“True”, Junno answered, picking up laundry soap and cleaning pads, “But you’re one to talk, Mr. Police Officer”, he arched an eyebrow at Tatsuya.
“Nothing ever happens at a koban”, Tatsuya rebutted, “The most I’ve to do is watch the kids and elderly cross the street and watch out for those reckless bicycle rider and stupid drivers who don’t know that the red light means to stop and it’s bloody dangerous speeding up just before the light changes and-”.
“I rest my case”, Junno looked at him with a victory grin.
Tatsuya couldn’t find an immediate comeback to aid his case so he rolled his eyes and eased in two six pack of beers and a bottle of gin. “That doesn’t make you any safer”.
“I know”, Junno replied, loving how Tatsuya was worried over him. “You’re planning to drink all this tonight?”
Tatsuya shrugged and tossed some pistachio and cashew nuts into the trolley. “You’re off tomorrow, aren’t you?”
“I am”, Junno answered, checking the sea salt potato chips he knew to be Tatsuya’s favourite and placing them in the trolley. “But I can’t eat and drink this all by myself”.
“Who said it was all for you?” Tatsuya asked even without looking at up. They’d by then moved to the freezers, Tatsuya packing in some beef and German sausage. “We live together, don’t we?”
“Right…”, Junno nodded, looking over the grocery in the trolley. Sometimes, he did forget that they actually lived together and shared the same bed and the same fridge - it was no longer Tatsuya staying over or him staying over but they actually decided to live together.
“Then let’s buy more rice”, Junno then added a bag of rice and a dozen jumbo eggs.
As for the move in, Tatsuya had suggested it- saying they could save the extra cash and buy extra booze or even take a trip abroad together since they’ve never done that together.
“Fruits?”
“Plums, bananas and it’s summer, so a cut of watermelon and kiwi”.
“No grapes?” Junno asked, checking the expiry date on a package.
“I’d rather some oranges or even pineapple”.
Junno tossed in a few oranges. “Ok, I think we have enough”.
But the truth was, they both wanted to spend more time together. Something they both knew but didn’t feel the need to explain- explaining was never something they needed to do much of with each other.
“And what about juice?” Tatsuya asked, weighing between milk and something fruity. “Do you still drink nasty tomato juice?”
Junno laughed, “I do but I’ll pass this time”, he answered, picking up a bottle of aquarius. “It’s fricking hot these days so this will do”.
They missed each other but perhaps it would be more accurate to say, they were worried sick about each other- though living together might've only heightened that,
Because they grew deeper in love.
An hour and half later, they pulled up in the driveway of an apartment complex they paid for together and being civil servants they earned a decent paycheck and so could afford a floor with a view.
“Okay, let’s do this”, Junno got into battle mode, “Jan ken pon!”
“Sucker. My win”, Tatsuya grinned at him.
Junno groaned, “Why can’t we be normal adults and just take turns having a bath?”
“Because it’s more exciting this way”, Tatsuya teased him with a kiss to his nose, “And you’re only saying that because you’re a sore loser”.
Junno sighed but it was indeed his idea to decide who went first so he shouldn’t have any complaints. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t sneak his way in.
Tatsuya couldn’t stop laughing as Junno tried to squeeze himself beside him. “What the hell?” he tried his best to sound annoyed but he couldn’t hide his giggles. “Get your giant self out”, he splashed water, but at the same time, he was adjusting himself for Junno to slip behind him.
“Come on now, Uepi, don’t be stingy”, Junno pressed his lips to Tatsuya’s cool and soapy neck.
Tatsuya squirmed and giggled, “Your beard tickles”.
“Not sexy?”
“Definitely not”.
“Seriously?”
“Seriously”.
“Damn. I wanted to try something new to turn you on”, he mused, resting his chin in Tatsuya’s hair. “Speaking of which, it’s been a while since you’ve had a haircut”.
“I’m growing it out”.
“Why?”
“Why not?”, Tatsuya asked, closing his eyes and resting his head back, “You liked it thirteen years ago, didn’t you?”
“Yeah but I’ve become accustomed to it being short”.
“So you’re against growing it out?”
“No…”, Junno strongly assured him, massaging the top of Tatsuya’s head with his chin, “You could go bald and I would still love you”.
Tatsuya did chuckle, then squirmed when Junno kissed his neck and nibbled on his ear, “That’s not what I asked you”.
Junno kissed and nibbled on his other ear, “But that’s what you want to hear, right?”
“I hate you”, Tatsuya replied but he was melting, his whole body glowing flush.
Junno chuckled, hugged him tight and kissed him sweetly, “I love you too”.
And so by the time they left the bath, their fingers and toes had wrinkles.
“Beer? Gin?”
“Beer for me”, Junno looked away from the TV and told him, “But is it really okay for you to drink? Don’t you have work tomorrow?”
Tatsuya shrugged not looking Junno’s way as he replied, “I took the day off”.
“Oh, I thought you could only take Thursdays off”.
Handing Junno the beer, Tatsuya took a seat hip tight beside him, “I asked someone to switch with me”.
“That’s cool”, Junno wrapped his arms around him as Tatsuya rested his head on Junno’s shoulder, “It’s been a while since we’d had the same day off”.
Tatsuya took another swig of his drink, "I know".
“Then we should do something”.
“I don’t want to do anything”.
“Really? You just want to be locked up inside all day staring at me?”
“That’s the idea”, Tatsuya coolly replied, took another sip of his gin mix and then shuffled around the sofa, his legs outstretched but his head was still rested on Junno’s shoulder.
“Well that’s a terrible idea”, Junno looked down at him wide-eyed with a confused smile, “It’s a miracle we could get the same day off and it’s during the week so there’s no need to worry about the weekend rush”.
Tatsuya inhaled, turned over on his side and reached for the remote and turned up the volume on the TV, “It’s no miracle”.
“Hey, turn it down”, Junno told him even more confused, “I’m talking to you”, but his hand was still parting soft and slow through Tatsuya’s hair and before long, “Your hair smells nice”, and the conversation seem to have ended.
Tatsuya released a sigh and finished his glass, before fully fitting himself in Junno’s cuddle.
It would take a while- an hour or so as they both started to doze off that Junno suddenly asked, “Wait, Uepi did you ask for a day off just to spend time with me?”
“Shut up, Taguchi”, and Tatsuya swiftly grabbed the remote control and increased the volume yet again, burying his face in Junno’s belly.
“You did, didn’t you?” Junno dressed back, trying to look him in the eyes. “You love me that much, huh?”
Tatsuya groaned and tossed about a bit before releasing a long sigh saying, “Got a problem with that?” turning over on his back and looking up at Junno looking down at him with eyes that sparkle like the heavens.
“I’ve got many”, Junno leant down with lips ready to caress, taste and savour.
“Such as?” Tatsuya asked, bracing on his elbows to meet the sweetness that pulled him to Junno’s lips.
“For one, I could get used to this”, Junno breathed in and out, their mouths barely touching as they inhaled each other’s essence.
“And for two?” Tatsuya asked, his eyes closed and lips puckered, ready and waiting.
“And for two…”, Junno chuckled, “I don’t think people usually think that far”.
Tatsuya couldn’t help but laugh at him, his breath warm and ticklish against Junno’s chin, “Then where does that leave us?”
“Where else?” Junno asked, his lips against Tatsuya’s own, “We’re here, together”.
“You’re right”, Tatsuya finally tasted him, “Then let’s go somewhere tomorrow”.
“I get the feeling this conversation just took a U-turn”, he looked at Tatsuya amused, “And where do you have in mind?”
“USJ or the beach”.
“Not Disneyland?”
“Definitely not Disneyland”, Tatsuya rolled over and stood, dragging Junno from the room, “So it’s decided. Let’s get to bed early”.
“You say it’s decided but I have no clue what was decided”, Junno replied though he was obediently following Tatsuya.
And when they got to the bedroom, Tatsuya swiftly tossed him on the bed, climbed on top of him and said, “It’s decided- we’ll have one round of sex, then sleep then wake up early and spend the day at Universal Studios. Sounds like a plan, right?”
And Junno laughed, pulling Tatsuya’s face to his. “And that’s the problem right there, Mr. Officer”.
“What problem?”
So Junno pulled him closer and kissed him, “I can’t say no to you”.
And Tatsuya smiled and kissed him back. “Well, the law is the law", he kissed him again and again. "Don’t mind it too much”.
Really,
The true trouble is,
Neither would know what to do without the other.
