Summary: Shou wasn't exactly sure what to say or even what to think as the male blabbed on, walking further into his apartment.
Shou couldn't be more exhausted. He'd finished his shift at work a few hours before and was hunched over the kitchen table, books and papers scattered over it's surface.
He poured himself his fifth coffee of the evening, he needed to keep himself awake so that he could study.
He had a test in the morning and needed to get some serious revision done.
His friend Nao had called him to see how he was getting on, but he hadn't been able to concentrate properly. With a groan, he rested his head against his hands and stared at the book underneath him, internally begging his brain to absorb the information.
After a few moments he felt like he was getting somewhere, the text started to make sense again.
Unfortunately, his concentration was shattered by the sound of his door bell ringing out. He didn't bother moving, if anyone needed to get hold of him so desperately they would phone his mobile. He looked back to his book and continued reading. Only to be disturbed once more by four loud knocks.
Heaving out a sigh, he got to his feet and shuffled towards the front door. Irritably he opened it, Finding a man stood in front of him leaning against the door frame coolly. He was dressed inexpensive looking smart-casual attire, adorned with even more expensive looking jewelry. His dark wavy hair contrasting with his flawlessly smooth skin and almost glittering eyes.
"Sorry I'm late, the traffic was terrible tonight" he said running fingers through his hair.
"Can I help you?" Shou asked, he really didn't have time for this.
His eyes widened a little as the stranger pushed past him, removing his jacket and kicking his shoes off by the genkan.
"Right, how would you like it? Missionary, sidewinder, cowgirl, or if you'd like something more advance, I can see what you like. If you have any kinks, feel free to tell me, obviously nothing too sick mind you"
Shou wasn't exactly sure what to say or even what to think as the male blabbed on, walking further into his apartment.
"I personally prefer to spit but if your heart so desires, I guess I can swallow" He sighed with mock exasperation "Now I know alot of guys don't care about foreplay, but I'm more than happy to get you all warmed up"
"Excuse me" Shou spoke up, gaining the strangers attention "I think you may have the wrong apartment"
The dark haired male simply looked at him, tilting his head in confusion.
"This is number 101 Fukigawa house.. right?"
"I'm afraid not, its 101 Tsumigawa house, "
The other frowned. "Are you sure?"
"I do live here y'know" Shou scoffed. "Fukigawa house is all the way across town"
"Shit!" The stranger paced up and down for a moment "sorry, I just need to call my boss"
Before he could protest, the other was already on the phone, throwing himself down on the couch.
"What do you mean you can't come get me?....two hours!.. what am I meant to do until then, it's not even the right place.....this is a fucking joke" He snapped the phone shut and sighed deeply, finally looking up to a slightly bewildered Shou.
"I'm so sorry about of of this" He said apologetically "My boss must have confused the address, but he won't be able to pick me up for a while, is it cool if I stay here for an hour or two"
Taking a deep breath, Shou nodded. He really didn't need this.
"Just watch some TV or something and try to be quiet, I need to get back to studying" with that, he plopped back down at his table and resumed his reading.
He only got a few minutes peace as suddenly he heard a voice right in his ear, causing him to jump.
"What are you studying?"
Regaining his composure, he straightened his glasses and coughed. " Forensic science and human biology"
"Two subjects at once huh?" He said sitting opposite him "You must be really smart. What's your name?"
"Shou"
"Nice to meet you Shou" He smiled, sticking his hand out "I'm Saga"
Hesitantly Shou shook his hand, before focusing back to his work. Unsurprisingly, he couldn't concentrate with Saga staring at him so intently and tapping the table. So he decided that more coffee would help.
Saga found himself intrigued with the male sat opposite him. He wasn't like any of his clients, who would usually be falling over themselves to get a piece of him, whereas Shou simply chose to ignore him as best he could. He also looked quite different too, the usual guys he dealt with were all chubby middle aged business men in sharp suits and slick back hair. While Shou, donned an old pair of jeans, slippers and over sized sweater. His light brown hair was a mess with dark roots just a few inches too long and his skin was less than impeccable, with dark eye bags. Despite that he was actually very cute. He could imagine that he'd scrub up well with a little bit of grooming.
"Y'know drinking that much coffee you'll get the jitters" Saga said nonchalantly. Shou simply shrugged and poured himself yet another mug.
"I need to stay awake so that I can study for my test tomorrow"
"Looks more like you need sleep, and desperately"
"Thanks for your well informed opinion, but I'll be fine, I just need to concentrate and get my stupid brain to process this information" His brows furrowed in frustration.
Saga took the hint and went back to sitting on the couch, turning the volume down a little.
It wasn't long before Shou let out a loud groan and slammed his head against the table in defeat.
"You okay?" Saga questioned, turning around to see him slumped on the table.
"No, I can't process anymore of this fucking book" he sighed "It's not going in, I read one thing then forget another"
The brunette got to his feet and went over to him. "Perhaps you should just relax for the rest of the night, there's no point in stressing yourself out the night before a test"
"I guess you're right" Shou sighed, rubbing his temples. "Do you want a coffee or something?" he asked, closing the books that lay on the table.
"Nah, I don't drink coffee" He shrugged "Looks like you could use a relaxing touch though" He grinned darkly, stroking Shou's leg with his foot.
"W-what?" He raised a brow.
"I can give you anything from a hand job to full blown penetrative sex, whatever you feel like"
He saw Shou's face turn red.
"W..w..what?" He stuttered, moving away from him.
"I'll give you a freebie since you've been so kind as to let me chill here, so, what'll it be?" He asked with a slight smirk.
"I don't want anything" Shou snapped in embarrassment "I don't want anything like that, especially from you"
"Ouch" Saga rolled his eyes "I was kidding but if you're gonna get pissy" He folded his arms in amusement "There was me thinking cute guys were nice"
Shou sighed once more, slumping his shoulders in rout. "Look, I'm sorry it's just been a really long day. I didn't mean to offend you"
"Hey" Saga said, putting a hand on his shoulder "Don't worry about it, I'm a sex worker, I've clearly had worse"
"But that's no excuse for my rudeness" Shou retorted
"No, it's really okay, I put it down to all the coffee you've had, Look I'll just get out of your hair, It shouldn't take me all night to get home" Saga said standing up.
But Shou grabbed his arm gently, causing him to look back in surprise.
"Saga, it's late, I'll drive you home, it's the least I can do"
Saga pondered over it for a moment, finally exhaling.
"Alright, but you must promise that when you get home, you'll go straight to bed and not hunch over these books again, okay?"
With a small nod, Shou stood up from the table and headed towards the genkan, Followed by Saga who slipped his jacket and shoes on again.
The drive it's self wasn't so bad. It was pretty silent, save for the soft hum of the engine and muffled out city activity. The only words exchanged were directions to Saga's house.
Shou wasn't familiar with that end of the city, so he felt uncomfortable as they drove past gangs of men all stood glaring at any vehicle that passed them.
Saga must've noticed how nervous he looked, as he patted his knee reassuringly. "Just don't look at them and you won't get any trouble"
It wasn't long before Saga told him to stop, pulling up, Saga frowned and muttered under his breath, suddenly bolting from the car.
Shou looked out of the window to see Saga running towards one of the houses, trash bags and furniture being hauled outside by a large looking man.
"What the hell is going on, why are you dumping all of my stuff on the street?" He yelled.
The man glared at him as he tossed another bag onto the pavement "you're being evicted"
"WHAT?"
"Kicking you out, you missed paying rent for three months and there's another tenant lined up who's frankly more important" He sneered.
Saga frowned angrily "You're supposed to give notice before evicting me"
"And you're supposed to pay rent" he snapped "Now take your stuff and fuck off"
Saga didn't hesitate to grab his phone from his pocket and hold it up to his ear. Shou couldn't hear much of the conversation, but judging by his expression, it wasn't pleasant. He slowly got out of the car, making his way over to him.
"Why can't I stay at yours, this is all your fault" Saga yelled down the phone, "I'm fucking homeless because of you, you bastard" he threw his phone into one of the trash bags next to him and dropped into a crouched position, head in his hands.
"Obvious question" Shou said "But are you okay?"
Saga shook his head gently. "Not really, I'm pretty much homeless now but I'll be fine. Don't worry about me" He looked up at Shou and offered a small smile "You get yourself home and sleep, you need to ace that test tomorrow"
Shou sighed, crouching next to him. He had no idea what on earth compelled him to make the decision, it was obvious that not much thought went into it and his mind screamed as his mouth betrayed him.
"Come and stay with me" He offered "I've got a spare room and you're more than welcome to stay until you can get another place"
The brunette looked at him cynically. "You don't have to be nice y'know, I know you don't want me to"
"No, really" Shou retorted "I'd hate to see someone on the street when I have an extra bed at home going to waste"
Saga closed his eyes for a moment before exhaling. "Fine, but only if you're totally okay with it"
"I am, now c'mon, it's getting late" the other replied, standing up and helping Saga to his feet. "I don't know if we'll be able to fit all of that in the car though..." He trailed off, looking at all of the brunette's possession.
"Ah forget about it, most of it is shit anyway, I'll just grab a few things and we can get going"
In the end, Saga had decided just to take his clothes, laptop, some CD's, his bed cover and an old stuffed dog. He laughed it off on they journey back to the apartment, claiming that the rest of the stuff was just old junk.
Shou helped him carry what was left of his belongings inside and put them in his guest room.
"Make yourself at home" He said tiredly, flopping down onto the couch.
"I'm really grateful for all of this"Saga replied, perching on the arm of the couch "You really shouldn't put yourself out for me"
"It's fine" Shou yawned. He rolled over, standing up and strolling through the apartment "Help yourself to whatever food you want, bathroom is next to my room, I'll go and get a spare key cut tomorrow, if you need any more blankets or pillows, you'll find them in the airing cupboard, I think that's pretty much everything"
"yeah, looks like you've covered all the bases" Saga laughed.
Shou yawned once more, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "Well, I'm gonna hit the sack now, so good night"
"Night sugar" Shou rolled his eyes before closing his bedroom door and throwing himself into bed. What a long day it had been.
Shou had forgotten to set an alarm before he slept, which of course meant that he was ridiculously late by the time he managed to scramble out of bed and throw some mildly clean clothes on and run to the train station, he had missed the train and ultimately, his exam. Dejectedly, he slumped back to the apartment and began to try and repair the damage on the phone. At the end of the phone call, he placed the phone back on the stand and ran his fingers through his messy hair, letting out a groan of exasperation.
"Morning sexy" He yelped in surprise and fell against the wall.
"You forgot I was here didn't you" Saga smirked. Shou looked over at him and gasped, hiding his face. The brunette was stood in the doorway of his room wearing nothing but a pair of small silk boxers.
He laughed at the others flustered state and sat down a the kitchen table.
"What's troubling you anyway?" He questioned, seeing him sigh and flop onto the couch again. (A habit that Saga was sure, would break the couch in the long run)
"I woke up late and missed my test" he sighed.
"Shit"
"Yeah, I managed to reschedule it, but now I have to give them an extra 7000 word essay on the biology of cancer, which is due next week"
"double shit" Saga looked at him sympathetically, writing was never something he found even remotely entertaining, so having to write an extra paper was his idea of cruel punishment.
Shou breathed out and sat up, throwing a glace at Saga.
"Do you want something to eat?"
The brunette nodded with a small smile "Please"
In an attempt to pull himself out of his misery Shou slunk off to the kitchen and rustled up some Yakisoba. In that time, Saga managed to dress himself rather suavely. Grinning as his bowl was placed infront of him on the table.
"This looks great" He chimed, grabbing his chopsticks and waiting for Shou to do the same.
"Aaaahh, tastes amazing too" He cried shoveling more food into his mouth. "You should be a chef or something, oh my god"
Shou chuckled "I'm not that good at cooking".
"No, you are, I haven't eaten anything this good in god knows how long" Saga assured him "I would trade four nights of sex for this" he said bluntly, causing Shou to snort a laugh.
"I take it you don't eat much then"
"Nah, I eat like a beast" Saga shrugged "Just never eat home made food"
"How are you not fat?" Just as he smirked, the doorbell rang unexpectedly. He got up with a puzzled expression, walking towards the front door.
Hesitantly he opened it and his eyes widened in shock.
"Tora? What are you doing here?"
"Baby, I came because I was worried about you" The new figure said "Nao called me and told me you missed your exam today, is something wrong?" He stepped into the apartment. allowing Saga to get a better look at him.
He was tall, black hair. Sharp angular features complimented by a lip stud on one side, with almost a European look about him, although still distinctly Japanese.
"No, everything's fine, I just overslept" Shou said lightly. Tora gently tilted the younger's chin upwards, looking deep into his eyes.
"Are you sure Shou? You look stressed"
"I told you" Shou smiled "I'm fine, stop worrying" Tora sighed and kissed him softly.
He pulled away and walked into the apartment, coming to an abrupt halt as he lay eyes on Saga, who was still eating his noodles nonchalantly.
"Shou" Tora said, cocking a brow "Who is this?"
Shou suddenly froze, realizing the severity of the situation. He had a prostitute living in his apartment. Tora would defiantly hate that. He'd probably get really angry and shout, perhaps worse. Shou's head was spinning with so many thoughts, he was sure he might go crazy.
"I'm Saga" The brunette said bluntly "I'm an old friend, we used to live on the same street when we were in elementary school, but I moved away to attend a different high school"
He figured that Shou's brain had crashed and stepped in to save him, a little white lie wouldn't hurt anyone.
"Oh" Tora looked at him cynically "He's never mentioned you"
"How mean Shou, I thought we were special" Saga laughed.
Releasing a breath he didn't even know he was holding, Shou broke out into a sheepish smile.
Thankful that Saga had his back on this one.
Tora pulled Shou into his arms, placing a passionate kiss on his lips. Saga rolled his eyes and went back to eating his yakisoba, helping himself to some of Shou's, considering his mouth was clearly too busy at that moment in time. He saw Tora's lips attach themselves to his neck, Shou laughed awkwardly and tried to wriggle from his grip.
It was obvious to Saga what was going on, Tora was marking his territory, Making it clear to Saga that Shou belonged to him, threatening him not to touch him. Which of course, Saga found hilarious, he really never understood why people were so possessive over others.
"Tora" Shou sighed, finally managing to push him off "Please, I have company"
"Fine" The elder grumbled "What time do you finish tonight? I wanna stay with you for the night"
"at 10 "
"Alright then" Tora smiled darkly, fingers twisting in the younger's hair "I'll come and pick you up, then how about you and I grab ourselves an early night and crawl into bed?"
Shou nodded slowly, leaning into his touch slightly.
"What about your essay?" Saga asked, breaking their little moment of suggestive romance.
Tora threw a glare at him, looking back at Shou with a pout.
"Baby, Can't that wait, I only have tonight to see you, I have to go back tomorrow"
"I guess one night won't make a difference" Shou smiled sheepishly. The elder ruffled his hair gently and sat down on the couch, pulling Shou down onto his lap.
Saga rolled his eyes, finishing off the last of Shou's yakisoba. "whatever, I'm gonna get ready for work" with that he headed into the bathroom and got into the shower.
Work was more hectic than Shou had anticipated. His boss had given him somebody elses left over work, and he only had a few hours to do it. His job was to sort mail at the local post office so he was always pretty much rushed off his feet. But this time it was much worse. He didn't even have time for a break. By the time his shift was over, he was dead on his feet.
Saga was feeling pretty good with himself. He managed to make a huge amount money and had gained even more clients, so any negativity from the previous night had completely disappeared. He strolled home with a spring in his step.
Deciding to stop off at a bakery on his way back to the apartment. His eyes lit up at the large assortment of baked treats. The sweet aroma invaded his nostrils and seduced his sweet tooth to crave everything on offer. After some inner debate, and a little reminder from the assistant that they were going to close in a moment, he settled on buying a large strawberry cake and two boxes of macaroons. Leaving the bakery with his goodies and a huge smile plastered on his face.
The rest of the walk went quickly as he gently swung the carrier bag back and forth.
He fished out the spare key that Shou had given him from his pocket and opened the front door. Kicking his shoes off in the genkan, he strolled through to the kitchen and put the bag on the table.
"Shou, I'm back" He called out "and I brought caaaakes". After receiving no reply he cocked a brow. Perhaps he was in his room.
"Shou?"
Well... He was defiantly in his room, and by the sounds of it, So was Tora. Muffled moans and cries came from the other side of the door making Saga wrinkle his nose is distaste, he'd had enough of that at work.
A devious smirk crept onto his face as he slowly and silently tip-toed towards the offending bedroom before giving the door a few loud knocks.
"Shou, Shou. Do you want some cake?" He called, earning a grunted 'Fuck off' in response. Well... that clearly wasn't Shou he thought with a chuckle.
"Fine you moody trollop, A no would suffice"
As he strolled back into the kitchen he noticed that the moans had gone quiet, obviously now painfully aware of his presence within the apartment. He'd be sure to tease the other about it in the morning.
"Fun night last night?" Saga asked as he sat at the dining table, opposite a very tired looking Shou. He was delighted to see the honey brunet's cheeks tinge a few shades darker. Shou let out a small cough, averting his eyes to his suddenly oh-so-interesting mug of luke warm coffee.
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Oh? So you don't remember being all like.. 'Oh Tora, ooooh, Don't stop, ah ahh ahhh" He mocked in a seductive tone making Shou's cheeks burn even darker and his body slide further down his chair. "Where is lover boy anyway?"
"He's gone back to work. He won't be back again for a few days"
"What the fuck does he even do to be away for so long?"
Shou sighed "He works in construction all around Japan, so he is away for sometimes weeks at a time." Saga noticed how his shoulders slumped, expression becoming more somber "He calls me every few nights but I do miss him alot when he's gone"
Well that sure wiped the smirk off of Saga's face.
"Must be difficult for you" Shou gave a small nod before getting up to pour his coffee into the sink.
"Enough about that" He sighed "What are your plans for the day?"
"Nothing until the evening but I'm doing some hosting tonight"
Shou cocked a brow, leaning against the kitchen counter "Not here I hope, Don't really want you having sex with old men in my spare room"
"No no no" Saga laughed "I work in a host club one night every week. "A friend of mine runs the joint so I like to help out every now and again. It's a nice change"
He got to his feet and opened the fridge in search of something tasty for his breakfast.
"What about you, got work tonight?"
"Nah, I'm off for the day. I think I'm just going to try and do this essay. Those 7000 words won't write themselves" Shou sighed causing Saga to pat his shoulder supportively, shoving a strawberry in the other's mouth.
"Well good luck sweet cheeks"

Shou sighed, crouching next to him. He had no idea what on earth compelled him to make the decision, it was obvious that not much thought went into it and his mind screamed as his mouth betrayed him.
"Come and stay with me" He offered "I've got a spare room and you're more than welcome to stay until you can get another place"
The brunette looked at him cynically. "You don't have to be nice y'know, I know you don't want me to"
"No, really" Shou retorted "I'd hate to see someone on the street when I have an extra bed at home going to waste"
Saga closed his eyes for a moment before exhaling. "Fine, but only if you're totally okay with it"
"I am, now c'mon, it's getting late" the other replied, standing up and helping Saga to his feet. "I don't know if we'll be able to fit all of that in the car though..." He trailed off, looking at all of the brunette's possession.
"Ah forget about it, most of it is shit anyway, I'll just grab a few things and we can get going"
In the end, Saga had decided just to take his clothes, laptop, some CD's, his bed cover and an old stuffed dog. He laughed it off on they journey back to the apartment, claiming that the rest of the stuff was just old junk.
Shou helped him carry what was left of his belongings inside and put them in his guest room.
"Make yourself at home" He said tiredly, flopping down onto the couch.
"I'm really grateful for all of this"Saga replied, perching on the arm of the couch "You really shouldn't put yourself out for me"
"It's fine" Shou yawned. He rolled over, standing up and strolling through the apartment "Help yourself to whatever food you want, bathroom is next to my room, I'll go and get a spare key cut tomorrow, if you need any more blankets or pillows, you'll find them in the airing cupboard, I think that's pretty much everything"
"yeah, looks like you've covered all the bases" Saga laughed.
Shou yawned once more, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "Well, I'm gonna hit the sack now, so good night"
"Night sugar" Shou rolled his eyes before closing his bedroom door and throwing himself into bed. What a long day it had been.
Shou had forgotten to set an alarm before he slept, which of course meant that he was ridiculously late by the time he managed to scramble out of bed and throw some mildly clean clothes on and run to the train station, he had missed the train and ultimately, his exam. Dejectedly, he slumped back to the apartment and began to try and repair the damage on the phone. At the end of the phone call, he placed the phone back on the stand and ran his fingers through his messy hair, letting out a groan of exasperation.
"Morning sexy" He yelped in surprise and fell against the wall.
"You forgot I was here didn't you" Saga smirked. Shou looked over at him and gasped, hiding his face. The brunette was stood in the doorway of his room wearing nothing but a pair of small silk boxers.
He laughed at the others flustered state and sat down a the kitchen table.
"What's troubling you anyway?" He questioned, seeing him sigh and flop onto the couch again. (A habit that Saga was sure, would break the couch in the long run)
"I woke up late and missed my test" he sighed.
"Shit"
"Yeah, I managed to reschedule it, but now I have to give them an extra 7000 word essay on the biology of cancer, which is due next week"
"double shit" Saga looked at him sympathetically, writing was never something he found even remotely entertaining, so having to write an extra paper was his idea of cruel punishment.
Shou breathed out and sat up, throwing a glace at Saga.
"Do you want something to eat?"
The brunette nodded with a small smile "Please"
In an attempt to pull himself out of his misery Shou slunk off to the kitchen and rustled up some Yakisoba. In that time, Saga managed to dress himself rather suavely. Grinning as his bowl was placed infront of him on the table.
"This looks great" He chimed, grabbing his chopsticks and waiting for Shou to do the same.
"Aaaahh, tastes amazing too" He cried shoveling more food into his mouth. "You should be a chef or something, oh my god"
Shou chuckled "I'm not that good at cooking".
"No, you are, I haven't eaten anything this good in god knows how long" Saga assured him "I would trade four nights of sex for this" he said bluntly, causing Shou to snort a laugh.
"I take it you don't eat much then"
"Nah, I eat like a beast" Saga shrugged "Just never eat home made food"
"How are you not fat?" Just as he smirked, the doorbell rang unexpectedly. He got up with a puzzled expression, walking towards the front door.
Hesitantly he opened it and his eyes widened in shock.
"Tora? What are you doing here?"
"Baby, I came because I was worried about you" The new figure said "Nao called me and told me you missed your exam today, is something wrong?" He stepped into the apartment. allowing Saga to get a better look at him.
He was tall, black hair. Sharp angular features complimented by a lip stud on one side, with almost a European look about him, although still distinctly Japanese.
"No, everything's fine, I just overslept" Shou said lightly. Tora gently tilted the younger's chin upwards, looking deep into his eyes.
"Are you sure Shou? You look stressed"
"I told you" Shou smiled "I'm fine, stop worrying" Tora sighed and kissed him softly.
He pulled away and walked into the apartment, coming to an abrupt halt as he lay eyes on Saga, who was still eating his noodles nonchalantly.
"Shou" Tora said, cocking a brow "Who is this?"
Shou suddenly froze, realizing the severity of the situation. He had a prostitute living in his apartment. Tora would defiantly hate that. He'd probably get really angry and shout, perhaps worse. Shou's head was spinning with so many thoughts, he was sure he might go crazy.
"I'm Saga" The brunette said bluntly "I'm an old friend, we used to live on the same street when we were in elementary school, but I moved away to attend a different high school"
He figured that Shou's brain had crashed and stepped in to save him, a little white lie wouldn't hurt anyone.
"Oh" Tora looked at him cynically "He's never mentioned you"
"How mean Shou, I thought we were special" Saga laughed.
Releasing a breath he didn't even know he was holding, Shou broke out into a sheepish smile.
Thankful that Saga had his back on this one.
Tora pulled Shou into his arms, placing a passionate kiss on his lips. Saga rolled his eyes and went back to eating his yakisoba, helping himself to some of Shou's, considering his mouth was clearly too busy at that moment in time. He saw Tora's lips attach themselves to his neck, Shou laughed awkwardly and tried to wriggle from his grip.
It was obvious to Saga what was going on, Tora was marking his territory, Making it clear to Saga that Shou belonged to him, threatening him not to touch him. Which of course, Saga found hilarious, he really never understood why people were so possessive over others.
"Tora" Shou sighed, finally managing to push him off "Please, I have company"
"Fine" The elder grumbled "What time do you finish tonight? I wanna stay with you for the night"
"at 10 "
"Alright then" Tora smiled darkly, fingers twisting in the younger's hair "I'll come and pick you up, then how about you and I grab ourselves an early night and crawl into bed?"
Shou nodded slowly, leaning into his touch slightly.
"What about your essay?" Saga asked, breaking their little moment of suggestive romance.
Tora threw a glare at him, looking back at Shou with a pout.
"Baby, Can't that wait, I only have tonight to see you, I have to go back tomorrow"
"I guess one night won't make a difference" Shou smiled sheepishly. The elder ruffled his hair gently and sat down on the couch, pulling Shou down onto his lap.
Saga rolled his eyes, finishing off the last of Shou's yakisoba. "whatever, I'm gonna get ready for work" with that he headed into the bathroom and got into the shower.
Work was more hectic than Shou had anticipated. His boss had given him somebody elses left over work, and he only had a few hours to do it. His job was to sort mail at the local post office so he was always pretty much rushed off his feet. But this time it was much worse. He didn't even have time for a break. By the time his shift was over, he was dead on his feet.
Saga was feeling pretty good with himself. He managed to make a huge amount money and had gained even more clients, so any negativity from the previous night had completely disappeared. He strolled home with a spring in his step.
Deciding to stop off at a bakery on his way back to the apartment. His eyes lit up at the large assortment of baked treats. The sweet aroma invaded his nostrils and seduced his sweet tooth to crave everything on offer. After some inner debate, and a little reminder from the assistant that they were going to close in a moment, he settled on buying a large strawberry cake and two boxes of macaroons. Leaving the bakery with his goodies and a huge smile plastered on his face.
The rest of the walk went quickly as he gently swung the carrier bag back and forth.
He fished out the spare key that Shou had given him from his pocket and opened the front door. Kicking his shoes off in the genkan, he strolled through to the kitchen and put the bag on the table.
"Shou, I'm back" He called out "and I brought caaaakes". After receiving no reply he cocked a brow. Perhaps he was in his room.
"Shou?"
Well... He was defiantly in his room, and by the sounds of it, So was Tora. Muffled moans and cries came from the other side of the door making Saga wrinkle his nose is distaste, he'd had enough of that at work.
A devious smirk crept onto his face as he slowly and silently tip-toed towards the offending bedroom before giving the door a few loud knocks.
"Shou, Shou. Do you want some cake?" He called, earning a grunted 'Fuck off' in response. Well... that clearly wasn't Shou he thought with a chuckle.
"Fine you moody trollop, A no would suffice"
As he strolled back into the kitchen he noticed that the moans had gone quiet, obviously now painfully aware of his presence within the apartment. He'd be sure to tease the other about it in the morning.
"Fun night last night?" Saga asked as he sat at the dining table, opposite a very tired looking Shou. He was delighted to see the honey brunet's cheeks tinge a few shades darker. Shou let out a small cough, averting his eyes to his suddenly oh-so-interesting mug of luke warm coffee.
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Oh? So you don't remember being all like.. 'Oh Tora, ooooh, Don't stop, ah ahh ahhh" He mocked in a seductive tone making Shou's cheeks burn even darker and his body slide further down his chair. "Where is lover boy anyway?"
"He's gone back to work. He won't be back again for a few days"
"What the fuck does he even do to be away for so long?"
Shou sighed "He works in construction all around Japan, so he is away for sometimes weeks at a time." Saga noticed how his shoulders slumped, expression becoming more somber "He calls me every few nights but I do miss him alot when he's gone"
Well that sure wiped the smirk off of Saga's face.
"Must be difficult for you" Shou gave a small nod before getting up to pour his coffee into the sink.
"Enough about that" He sighed "What are your plans for the day?"
"Nothing until the evening but I'm doing some hosting tonight"
Shou cocked a brow, leaning against the kitchen counter "Not here I hope, Don't really want you having sex with old men in my spare room"
"No no no" Saga laughed "I work in a host club one night every week. "A friend of mine runs the joint so I like to help out every now and again. It's a nice change"
He got to his feet and opened the fridge in search of something tasty for his breakfast.
"What about you, got work tonight?"
"Nah, I'm off for the day. I think I'm just going to try and do this essay. Those 7000 words won't write themselves" Shou sighed causing Saga to pat his shoulder supportively, shoving a strawberry in the other's mouth.
"Well good luck sweet cheeks"
