“…and you've got a new boyfriend, I’ve heard?”
Junno grins of course, because every thought of Tatsuya sends butterflies soaring through his stomach and staggering against his chest, and very proudly he answers, “oh, but we’re much more than that. We’re engaged now”.
Kame, this old friend of Junno’s, has this special sort of smirk, it’s accusatory and very bullying when he asks, “oh, has the world gone mad?”, he rather mocks, arching a perfectly shaped bitch eyebrow while he asks, “and with this crazy other half of yours, how has life been?”
Junno laughs out loud because it's true. He and Tatsuya have one crazy relationship going on with few ups and downs with trashed apartments and near shattered mirrors. But these very few unfortunate events are annulled by the many roses and candlelight dinners under the stars, or as simply romantic as sprawling across the carpet in their living room, in front of the television set. So in the end, when all is mended, sugarcoated and forgotten, it's a cozy and romantic bliss they share, and there's absolutely no asylum that can cure him from this deep love sick mess he's in, because truth be told:
He doesn't want to be cured.
“I'm having the time of my life”, he answers at last. And it’s true. A life without what he has now is unimaginable, unneeded, and most definitely a romance tragedy yet to be written by Shakespeare.
Kame’s lips twirl into an honest smile upon hearing such an unrestrained confession, “so where’s this magic man of yours?”, he asks looking around, down the vegetable aisle and across the meat freezer.
Magic Man.
Oh, that’s right.
Though, Tatsuya is more than that.
Because you see, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for Junno, Tatsuya is exquisite inside out, pure like an angel sent for him and him only. His constant, very consoling presence performs miracles on Junno. Junno smiles while he places a bottle of pancake syrup in his cart, “he's around getting too many sweets, I'm sure. His appetite is insatiable”.
Kame chuckles, pushing the grocery cart ahead as Junno strolls in follow, “how long has it been?”
Junno’s face does this strange kind of shift from lightheartedness to something much deeper, a much resolute seriousness as if he’s revisiting memories of the past or plotting the enormous possibilities of the future, “three summers… and counting”, he replies at last.
And counting…
If time were spellbound then their life together would be countless, never-ending, and that much Junno is sure about. And just as expected, as they turn the corner they spot Tatsuya filling the second grocery cart to its brim with sweet nothingness, an array of cakes, häagen-dazs ice cream and popsicles - to ward off the heat of the summer - Tatsuya would always say, his sorry excuse performed with his way-too-cute puppy eyes and his sinfully handsome pout.
Safe to say, Tatsuya is Junno’s weakness.
“Is he everything you’ve ever wanted?”
Junno comes to a pensive stop just a few feet away from Tatsuya who now spots him and is grinning quite knowingly that Junno won’t approve of the junk he has chosen for their nourishment. And there it is, this innocent childish smile that still has its way to morph itself into nothing but seduction, a weapon of love compulsion when Tatsuya grins so widely crumpling crinkles in the corner of his eyes, his showing teeth so tiny and perfect and adorably shaped and there’s nothing else in this whole wide world that makes Junno’s tummy lurches forward and swells in affection and love and merriment, and he feels like telling himself ‘congratulation’, because with Tatsuya, it’s like he has won the lottery of life itself.
Junno chuckles in fondness before he says, “he’s lazy and sleeps like a squirrel in hibernation and when he’s actually awake, he eats like a cow”, he remarks in fond exasperation, moving to put a jar of prickled olives in his cart, “so I guess no, he’s nothing like I’d ever imagined”. Junno then grins while he tells another tale in a single sentence, “he’s so much more, Kame. He’s a blessing”.
And Junno would trade the world just to keep what he and Tatsuya have.
As soon as they reach the RAV4 jeep and pile their grocery onto the back seat, Junno pulls Tatsuya across the passenger seat for an earth-shaking, heart-stopping, breathless kiss. And it’s like time stops for them to live and re-live this very moment of their tongues rolling deeply into each other’s mouths, body pressing ever so close moulding into each other with arms enclosing around the waistlines and fingers caressing around the necks pulling them much closer, focusing on the motion of their lips slipping and sliding in and out and across in long drags of tasty saccharine kisses.
And in this very moment, Junno mentally reasons that mayhap, just mayhap the world was created for their very tiny existence to fill it, with nothing but their vast love and happiness.
