Rain clouds closed the previously empty sky, the soft noise of rain drops came soon after, hitting the window of the old room streaks falling down and leaving a trail in it’s path. The often lively campus paths devoid of any human life, the lack of noise leaving behind a drowsy atmosphere in the air. Inside the old building it’s occupant unperturbed by the calming stimuli outside, brows furrowing as she looked at the documents laid on a messy table, pen tapping and hands moving signed papers to a pile marked as Finished at the opposite side.
Haruka sighed and leaned back onto the chair, her body making it’s strain known as she stretched herself. Finally looking up from her task, she closed her eyes to give them a rest from it’s incessant use since the early hours of the day. As her eyes slowly blinked open she turned her gaze towards the dark sky outside.
‘The forecast hadn’t mentioned rain today’
She had planned to buy dinner at some point after finishing the documents with a close deadline, but with the way it was outside she’d have to make due with whatever she had laying around from her last run to the convenience store. She let out a huff and turned her attention to her messy room, she hadn’t found the time to make her bed today or even clean up her room in any way from how busy she was, at least the room looked like someone actually lived in it now.
The room, at first, was more akin to a blank canvas than a place people had supposedly lived in not long ago. Sure, from what she’d heard the previous house disbanded due to a big incident which involved all the houses a year prior, but still you’d think it would still look like someone had lived in it before. Instead, the moment she moved into the building Haruka couldn’t shake off the feeling of how hollow it felt. It did have the essentials: a bed and drawers, a study table, lights(which surprisingly still worked) and a lot of dust and that was all. No forgotten trinkets by the previous occupants or even a simple sign of usage marks present inside, nothing that said a human once had lived in that space. It was as if the room was made for a person to live in, but that never came to be, instead being abandoned for an unknown future.
During the first few months Haruka avoided the room as much as she could, even sleeping in it felt wrong like she didn’t belong there. Yet, as the months went by it slowly started to show some of her personality, trinkets and gifts adorned it’s space, books littered every small space for easier access. It slowly became more like home, a safe space from all the chaos her life had suddenly become. It was a way to prove to anyone that entered the room after she left to know that someone lived in there and left a mark. She didn’t know what her life would be in the next few months she had left, but she didn’t want to be forgotten or just chalked up to an anomaly, she wanted to live some sort of mark that proved her existence and will to live even with all the obstacles her way.
She probably had close to 3 months left to live, but was still forced to be at Darkwick’s beck and call. The curse mark silently growing in size onto her back, a daily reminder of what she could become and that the friends she laughed along with all those months would be the very ones tasked with her containment-and with the way they usually dealt with anomalies, probably meant being tasked with her destruction to avoid more casualties. Reduced to nothing more than another number on a document, her friend’s names pasted into the same document and finally an unfamiliar signature at the bottom where she usually signed.
Darkwick kept reassuring her they would find a way to revert her curse and at first she took them at their word, she didn’t know anything about this new world she was thrust into and they were supposedly the best in their area. They threw her from house to house as a way to increase her chances of encountering the anomaly that had cursed her, and gave her the role of honor student to justify her sudden enrollment. The title was just another way for them to keep her on a leash; it could be revoked at any time if her grades slipped or her behavior was found to be opposite to the faculty’s desires. They did give her options, if they could even be called that, between working with no say in the matter and being forced to ignore stares and whispers from other students for the preferential treatment being given her way-which sometimes, like with Leo, weren’t even hidden behind a mask.
Or she could have taken the second option, getting thrown into a cell like Lyca, stripped of any free will and forced to partake into any tests the academy felt like conducting that day. Reduced to nothing but a lab rat, always under a watchful gaze and treated like a test subject to understand her curse better. Anyone in their right mind would choose the first option, she would still be under Darkwick’s watch but at least still maintain some semblance of free will.
Darkwick reassured her they would find a cure, their researchers were known for their study into anomalous behaviors, but as the months went by that lifeline seemed to get farther and farther from the realm of possibility. Yuri drilled onto her skull how he was going to be the one to cure her, but after so many failed attempts and tests coming back negative anyone would easily begin to crack under the pressure. On field it wasn’t any better, ghouls followed a logic of hit first ask questions later, meaning she had seen little success on their part for actually containing anomalies-Sinostra being a prime example on it; and those that they did manage to contain weren’t of any help in understand her curse.
Now the thought that her loved ones lack knowledge of her actual situation maybe was for the best. Haruka sometimes, on sleepless nights, wondered what she’d tell her friends and family if she ever got a chance to get in touch with them again, curse finally broken. Yet as the months came and went her thoughts deviated from how she’d explain her situation for the past year and reconcile with them to what her final words would be. That was if Darkwick even gave her that option at all.
Haruka felt tears forming at the corners of her eyes and shook her head in an attempt to rid herself of those thoughts. Nothing good would come from delving too much into the what if’s, she was doing everything in her power to change her situation. She forced herself to turn her attention towards the forgotten documents; it was more efficient to work on countermeasures and plans for anomalies, analyzing their behavior closely for anything that could be useful to better understand the Kyklos. She took hold of her pen again, a few documents still had their deadlines coming up soon and needed her attention, so she should pour all her energy into it instead.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when she finally lifted her head again, the light rain now nowhere to be seen, instead the dark night sky stared back at her. The pile of documents that needed her immediate attention finally finished, now moved into a neatly organized folder for submission the next morning. Her forgotten phone lit up as she received a new message. She distinctly remembers it being close to 4pm when she had started her tasks, but now the screen showed her just how late and long she had been working, informing her that it was now 11:34pm. Scrolling up she was faced with messages from the professors requiring her presence the next day, ghouls asking her for information or just small talk and, more pressing, her group chat with Kaito and Luca filled with worried messages.
Luca and Kaito were her first and closest friends, slowly turning into a safe space for her. Talking to them always made an invisible weight lift from her shoulders, Haruka knew she could count on them for anything and were probably the only ones she could blindly trust. They always made sure she took care of herself, especially when they knew how busy she was, and she thought she was lucky to have them in her life.
While she calmed down Luca and Kaito’s concerns a new message notification invaded her screen.
‘You still up at this time princess?’ - 12:02am.
She smiled at the nickname and opened the chat.
Rei has never had an easy time when it came to waking up, especially early for that matter. Besides the fact that he just wasn’t a morning person, he also had to take his weak constitution into account into his day to day life. His body, although stronger than Ritsu’s, still suffered from the same frail condition passed down by generations. It was mostly noticeable during the day, with his entire body weighing him down at the mere idea of having to walk around in broad daylight- made even worse if it was on a hot day, summers were never an easy feat for him. He was extremely lucky UNDEAD was known for working mostly during the night hours or in closed spaces, his body always seemed to gain a boost when the night came, making it easier for him to actually be productive during it.
Yet, as he slowly fluttered his eyes open and fought off the still lingering drowsiness, the first thing that hit his conscience wasn’t the usual soreness and pops his bones usually gave out. Instead, he was immediately drowned into the soft sweet scent of tea leaves engulfing his entire being and the weight of a body on top of his chest- legs tangled into his own and arms holding him in place, almost as if the other let go Rei would vanish.
Rei instinctively felt the corners of his mouth curve up. As his vision came into focus he could begin to make out the blond strands on the body currently splayed on top of him, acting very much like a cat- the low purr emanating into the room also went well with the comparison. Of course with the blond locks also came it’s owner, Eichi who was currently sleeping soundly into his chest, cheek squished against it- and if Rei looked closer he could swear he also saw a bit of drool staining his shirt.
He couldn’t help but pull the younger one closer to him, it wasn’t every day he had the chance of waking up before the omega. Eichi, contrary to Rei, prevailed during the sunlight hours- almost as if he was the sun himself if the alpha could have a word on it. Making it so that by the time the older woke up Eichi was nowhere to be seen, having already made his way to work, or just basking into each other's presence.
The alpha slowly slotted Eichi’s head closer to his neck scent gland, he could make out the blond’s purr growing louder as his sleeping body took in the stronger scent, and tangling his hand into the soft strands of hair, petting it slowly.
It wasn’t everyday he had the chance to enjoy the younger’s presence and lose himself into his sweet scent, filling his lungs with deep inhales of it- almost as if it was his only lifeline at the moment. His inner alpha demanded that he takes more of it, his body unconsciously moving closer to the other’s neck gland so it could drown in it even further, free hand now closing at the back of it and slowly massaging the dormant muscle so more pheromones would come out of it- and if Eichi were to wake and notice what Rei was doing he would definitely receive a snarky remark about his actions ‘Are you a wild beast or something?’, though even when he did complain there was never a day he turned away from it.
Being this close to the scent gland also meant he could smell the changes in the scent more easily. Usually during sleep, scents get muddled by a heavy blanket of sleep, making it so the person couldn’t be easily detected by others in a vulnerable state. Though it doesn’t get rid of it altogether, instead the other person had to get extremely close to be able to catch it -and with it came the fact that they would also be more susceptible to it. Eichi’s scent was never considered strong by any means, some even saying the smell of it could be considered unattractive from how simple it was considered. Yet, Rei would beg to differ, the scent most called uninteresting was the only one he desired, it smelled so plainly of Eichi that he couldn’t think of a better match- and of course at this time also laced with the heavier undertone of the blond’s heat. While the scent wasn’t exactly enough to trigger his own rut, Rei also took his suppressants for this exact occasion, it did make his inner alpha giddy that Eichi finally trusted him enough to let his guard down enough to sleep so soundly near him while in his heat period.
He remembers how during their days at Yumenosaki all he could take in were hints of the omega’s pheromones, Rei’s alpha screaming at him to get closer and make the omega his.
It was honestly pure luck that he even found out Eichi was an omega. Since the omega’s scent was already so faint, and that his family would much rather have him pass as a beta than admit to have an omega son, most thought of Eichi as a beta- only Keito and a few faculty actually being aware of the truth. Besides that the omega also made sure to use scent blockers in case his pheromones somehow leaked, the blockers would act and hide it from others.
Kohaku has never been known for being openly affectionate with his actions or words towards others. It wasn’t from a lack of affection from others, it was just who he was.
Accepting others actions directly towards himself was also something he had a hard time with. When he joined Crazy B it had been a point of contention with all his unit members, they were all doting in their own ways, some more than others.
Rinne was the main offender, he had a habit of invading anyone's personal space whenever he felt like it, and even with Kohaku's many protests each complaint was basically tossed out the window, as Rinne would yet again throw himself into him as if nothing was ever said.
Niki was at least a bit more considerate than their leader, the chef always showed his actions though food, it always made Kohaku feel special when he would receive a specially made sweet from him, yet when he did get into his personal bubble it was mostly with his best interest in mind, sometimes Niki just seemed to know when he needed some affirmation.
Himeru was different, he always tried, keyword being tried, to act distant and cold from his unit mates to maintain his persona, his displays were always veiled behind a layer of indifference or when offering his help, but it was obvious how doting he was towards their youngest member, almost treating him like a younger brother.
Kohaku always shunned their actions, ‘stop treating me like a kid’, still he would always look forward to them, sometimes, although rarely, he would start the displays himself. They started to feel like a family to him, a big dysfunctional yet warm family.
His friendship with Aira wasn't that different, the boy loved being in close contact, be it with messages or during one of their many outings. Aira had always been that way, even before they met in person, so it wasn't that surprising how it also translated into his day to day actions.
Hiiro, though, was on a new level.
Kohaku was surprised by how different, yet similar he was to Rinne. Just like Rinne, Hiiro was extremely physically affectionate, Aira had complained many times about his constant need for skinship with him, yet where he would usually act annoyed by said behavior, he would instead look forward to them, waiting for the next moment they would meet.
Hiiro's constant warmth began to grow on him.
Kohaku always thought of himself as someone cold and not worthy of such a bright sight in his life, Hiiro was the complete opposite of him. So the day Hiiro confessed his feelings towards him, Kohaku was shocked by the thought of someone so bright wanting to be with him. He couldn't bring himself to refuse he also had the same feelings towards the other, so with his stammering heart and flustered face he also confessed his feelings.
Rinne had been insufferable the moment he caught wind of it, but not in the way Kohaku had expected. Rinne judged every action the younger member had towards his brother, always following their every move.
It wasn't until a fight between Rinne and Hiiro, with a big help of Niki being the voice of reason, that Rinne backed down and let them enjoy their time together.
Their relationship wasn't that different in terms of affection, Hiiro was still touchy and overly doting on his part and Kohaku would gladly soak it up. Though, the moment kissing was put on the table, Hiiro used every opportunity to kiss him, chance meetings always resulted in the red head pressing a kiss anywhere his mind went to first. In private, Hiiro would always be near him, be it from cuddling, kissing or just holding his hand.
It wasn't as if Kohaku was against it, Rinne's scandalized noises made it even better, even under all his blushing and mumbling when given just a small amount of attention in a more public place, or even in private sometimes. He still looked forward to each and every piece of affection the other would send his way, no matter how small.
Hiiro was affectionate, it was just the way he was, and Kohaku loves that about him, it went amazingly well with his less open way of showing he cared.
Yet, it was this difference in personality that made him start to second guess his own.
Everyone in his circle always had the same words to say about their relationship, ‘it's obvious how much Hiiro likes you’, ‘Hiiro is always pampering you with his attention’ and so on. He knew it was supposed to be a good thing, he really likes you, but they were always directed towards Hiiro's actions, never his own.
He began to take note of his behavior. During their change meetings it was Hiiro who came up to him and started their round of affections, while Kohaku would just go along with it. In private it was mostly the same, even if Kohaku had become more comfortable with expressing himself, he would still count on Hiiro to do the first step and take charge of how they would spend their night.
It looked like Hiiro was the only one actively working on their relationship, while all he would do was take and never give it back.
The red head never said a word about it being an issue, every time someone took note of Kohaku’s less affectionate nature, all Hiiro would do is shower him with even more attention while saying he loved him just the way he was. He didn't mind Kohaku’s more reserved nature.
Even still the thought gnawed at the back of his mind, what if others thought he didn't like him just as much, what if one day Hiiro also began to think that way and get tired of always having to take charge into their relationship and get tired of him.
The thought of that being a possibility kept getting bigger on the back of his mind.
So, going against his own self, he started to try and take charge in public. If they had one of their chance meetings Kohaku would make sure he would be the one to call out for the other.
The first time he hugged Hiiro without the other calling out first got the redhead surprised. Kohaku had hugged him without a second thought or making his presence known before, it was the best way for him not to get embarrassed before actually completing the action.
He thought Hiiro would be happy with his actions, but instead he looked at him confused and asked if something was wrong.
The question only made his thoughts spiral even more, the mere action of him starting a hug in a public space being so unheard of that Hiiro's first thought was if he was fine only fed into his growing fears.
“Nothin’ just missed ya” It was technically true, Alkaloid had taken a new job recently and their chance meetings and dates had become rarer. Kohaku bumped his head against the other's chest “I know it was out of the blue, but I can let go if ya don't like it”
Hiiro only pulled him further into his chest at the last word.
“I like it” Kohaku could hear the smile in his voice “It's just unusual, but I like it” he felt a kiss being placed at the top of his head “Besides, I also missed you a whole lot”
That was all the confirmation he needed. He kept up his new flurry of affections, though they were always limited to hugs and hand holding, as only the thought of being kissed in public already made him flustered.
That was until during one of their many hang outs with Aira to see a movie.
Hiiro had offered to go buy some snacks while they stayed in line. He pressed a small kiss to Kohaku's cheek and went away, leaving a flustered Kohaku and Aira behind.
Aira gave a small laugh at Kohaku's current predicament.
“Hiiro-kun is weirdly addicted to kissing huh” he let out a small sigh and looked at his friend “You can tell him when he's being too clingy you know”
“Ah… I don't mind” he put a hand at the back of his neck to try and ease his embarrassment “It's just that I get embarrassed when Hiiro-han does it so easily without a second thought.”
“Really? Hiiro-kun always does as he pleases when it comes to stuff like this” Aira looked deep in thought for a moment “It always looks like you get roped into his whims”
In retrospect he had been advised multiple times, mostly by Keito, against his habit of ‘poking the hornet's nest’, but the chance of something interesting coming out of it always made him go back to the same starting point yet and yet again.
Case in point, when Rei reached out concerning his upcoming rut, they had been together for close to 2 years at that point, but never actually spent their cycles together, opting instead for spending it separately on their own as to not disturb the other's routine. It suddenly changed on the day Eichi's doctor expressed her concern about his many delayed heats, forcing him into his medications and letting his body have a break at least from that. In the midst of the entire situation Eichi jokingly asked the older man if wanted to spend his heat with him, which, to only his surprise, was met with an eager response.
That became a routine for them, Eichi became comfortable enough to let his heats come more often if only it meant Rei would spoil him more often, not that he didn't try to on normal days, it was that during his heats he could openly accept it and ask for more if he so desired, only to later blame it on his heat if Rei tried to hold it against him.
Though, even after spending multiple heats together, to a point Rei even had them marked on his calendar, the older still refused to spend his ruts with Eichi, and even if Eichi refused he was sulking about it. Every time the blond so much as suggested the notion he was met with a firm refusal, Rei always said his ruts were stronger than most and how he was scared he could hurt Eichi.
It got to a point he decided to go to Ritsu for advice, he wasn't met with an enthusiastic look when he finally told him what their meeting was about, but at least managed to get some help with his predicament after much prodding from his part. Rei since young had been incredibly protective of those he considered near and dear, and during his childhood those were mainly composed of Ritsu, so the moment his first rut hit and it by chance coincided with one of Ritsu's flares from his sickness, Rei's instincts went haywire.
No one could get near Ritsu without being met with a growl from Rei. The issue arose exactly from that, Mao didn't know about Rei's rut and went into the sakuma’s household to check up on Ritsu. Rei hadn’t been awake at the time Mao entered the room, but the moment he got too close Rei shot up from his sleep and unfortunately hurt him.
From that day forward Rei was always under suppressants or spent his ruts alone isolated where no one could reach him.
Eichi knew Ritsu wouldn't have told that if he didn’t have some trust in him, so with his newfound information he again began to try and get Rei to lower his walls. During one of his many heats, his heat-addled mind must have said something incredibly convincing to make Rei start talking about finally spending his rut with him.
For weeks Rei had listed everything that could go wrong and what he should be aware of before, during and after his rut, Eichi more of less paid attention to it, it couldn't be that bad, they had spent Eichi's heats together without any knowledge how he would act around others and it went well, Rei already knew what he was like so it shouldn't go any worse.
Days before the actual rut hit, Eichi noticed Rei was getting more possessive by the day, it started with refusing to let the blond out of their dorm with at least one piece of clothing or item having been doused in the older's scent to having to wake up at least half an hour earlier than usual to let Rei scent him entirely before going out for work, they had agreed that because of Eichi's position he should work until Rei's rut got too intense or it actually started.
The unseen issue was their plan didn't take into account that all the different scents Eichi would come back with at the end of the day would trigger his rut earlier than it was supposed to.
The moment Eichi woke up he didn't pay much mind to the heavier scent present inside their room, Aira was staying over another dorm for the time being, with Keito's permission, as he had insisted they take the room for Rei's rut for convenience. Rei was still sleeping so the younger decided to forgo their usual scenting spree and just grab one of the many pre-scented clothes Rei had left for him and going about his day.
The day was going on it's usual course, save it from no messages from a very possessive Rei which Eichi chalked up to him still sleeping, he had just finished the last meeting he had for the day when Rei barged into the room. Eichi tried to question his actions and was only met with silence and Rei’s intense stare, the older started to try and put himself between Eichi and the chair, the moment the blond decided to help him out he made himself comfortable and didn't do much after that, only sometimes letting out purrs of approval when Eichi decided to spare him a scratch on top of his head.
Since it looked like Rei was content to just stay the way he was and all he needed to do for the rest of the day was sign some documents, he decided to just finish his work at the office and later assess the situation at their dorm.
That was until a worker, another alpha at that, came over to drop some documents. He felt Rei shift a bit at the new presence in the room, but remained in his position.
Eichi smiled at the worker's surprised expression, he had to remember to issue a NDA later on, and motioned for him to drop off the papers on his desk.
Everything took a turn the moment the worker approached the desk, Rei's scent immediately turned sour and he shot up from his position, slowly making his way towards the perceived threat while releasing and intensifying even more of his pheromones into the small room.
Eichi had always been weak against pheromones, be it from omegas, betas or alphas, his constitution simply made it so being exposed to intense scents for prolonged periods of time, or short depending on the intensity, could take a toll on his already fragile health. Rei's usual scent, even if stronger than most, was always laced with a soft and welcoming undertone, so being hit with the sudden intense scent made his lungs burn for the welcoming scent back.
He tried to get Rei’s attention with his own pheromones, but all it got him was a small pause to his actions, going back to his actions almost immediately.
He could feel himself growing more faint by the second, his lungs felt like they were on fire, he couldn't speak up since all that he managed to let out were small wheezes in search for more air.
Eichi tried to gather all the strength he could muster to try and move towards Rei, his entire body felt like dead weight, his legs refused to listen to movement he put on them, all he managed to do is use the table to support himself up, shuffling slowly closer to it's end. Though his plan didn't get him very far, his arms also gave out and not even putting more of his weight into the table managed to help him regain his balance, Eichi could only brace himself to his fall.
The loud thud from it managed to get the Alpha’s attention, Rei's eyes were exactly like those of a predator and his face was one of pure anger, yet the moment he met Eichi's eyes and current situation his entire body language changed, the vile scent immediately dissipated into the air in favor of a much softer one with worry written all over it, Rei immediately ran towards the younger to try and assess the situation he had put him in.
Eichi's lungs welcomed the sudden change in scent, slowly taking in the much softer one with deep hagged breaths and trying to calm himself down. Rei stayed near, but refused to lay a finger on the younger, instead pacing around the room, opening the window, all the while talking to someone in a rushed voice.
When Eichi managed to gather himself to an acceptable degree he looked around the room, the worker had long since escaped and Rei refused to look directly into his direction.
“Rei…” It sounded more like a cough than an actual name, yet it seemed to be enough to get the other’s attention and make him look at him. Rei's eyes were watery and at the sight of Eichi his expression changed again into one of deep regret and sadness, one of his hands reaching out only to recoil at the last moment.
“I'm sorry” As he said the words he rushed out of the room, leaving Eichi alone to gather his thoughts and himself.
Eichi was trying to make sense of the situation when Wataru rushed into the room, it seemed Rei's call was for him, he didn't let the blond say a word before gathering him into his arms and running towards Eichi's dorm room.
Wataru only took him there to get himself away from the still present underlying scent. The moment they got to the dorm room he tried to take the blond to the hospital to check on his condition, to which vehemently refused each time Wataru so much as mentioned the notion.
He wanted to ask about where and how Rei was, instead Wataru changed the subject each time, checking Eichi's vitals and calling Keito straight after to help out.
Any other day he would be enthusiastic about Wataru going this far for him, though all he wanted to know right now was where and how Rei was, and with Keito's arrival that notion was basically tossed to the ground and shot dead.
Keito began fussing over him and the exhaustion from the entire ordeal began to catch up to him, he could hear hushed voices of his friends, slowly succumbing to sleep as Keito moved closer to his bedside.
The moment he woke up it was the middle of the night, Wataru nor Keito were nowhere to be found. On his bedside table were some pills along with a note from Keito, to call if he needed anything and to take his pills as soon as he woke up, and another from Wataru wishing he would get better soon.
As he went to grab a bottle of water, Keito had probably left out for him to help down his pills, he noticed his phone. As he turned it on he was met with a flurry of messages from Tori and Aira, it would be better if he answered those straight away to not worry them more, Keito and Yuzuru, who already had taken matters into their hands regarding the poor worker, and Wataru reminding him of his medicine and that we would come over to check on him tomorrow.
Texting back everyone didn't take that long, he looked for Rei's contact immediately after, no messages from him since the previous day. Just as he was about to hit send on the message a notification from Ritsu popped up, the chat only had one new message from him <em>‘keys hidden under the plant pot’ </em> and nothing else.
Though the message was clear, even if Ritsu refused to show it openly he still cared and worried about Rei, it meant he was giving Eichi an easy way to clean his mess <em>‘do something about this’</em>.
It was better off if he didn’t tell Wataru, or worse yet Keito, about what he was planning on doing. So he took his phone and changed into freshly washed clothes, the clothes Rei had scented were nowhere to be found so they were the second best option, and called for a driver to take him to the Sakuma household.
The entire ride was spent thinking about what he would do when he saw Rei, as much as he liked to joke around Rei's self sacrificing act, he knew it was a huge part of who he was and that he would never have hurt Eichi on his own volition so the thought that the blond could be at the hospital was definitely eating at his thoughts.
It would be better if he could calm Rei down and at least take away some of the weight of the blame away from his mind. The scenario of Rei locking himself yet again for hurting someone during his rut was constant the entire time, he had to do something so that wouldn't repeat again.
He had been to the Sakuma household a couple of times, he still got reminded of the only time he showed up unannounced and all Ritsu did was shove him inside and tell him to look for Rei, he didn't in fact find Rei and had to swallow his pride and ask for the older to find him.
The key was exactly where Ritsu had told him, thankfully, and with it he slowly opened the heavy front door, all the lights inside the house were off and no noise could be heard, it would be awkward if he just entered the house while where others that didn't even know who he was were inside.
He didn't remember where Rei's room was, Ritsu wasn't just about to give him all the pieces to the puzzle himself, and honestly even if he did he would probably still get lost inside the maze they called a house.
Eichi decided to instead trust his luck and look for the room, he would probably have taken the entire night if not for the faint scent he had come to know and love all those years, he didn't think twice about following it, each step getting him closer to the scent and with it got stronger, Eichi could begin to sense the undertones of it.
The scent slowly crept it's way into his lungs, anxiety and distress clearly written all over it. Now in front of the bedroom door Eichi took a deep breath, taking the scent even deeper into his lungs and reached to lightly knock on the door.
At first he thought maybe he wasn't heard, only to a few seconds later hear stumbling and rushed footsteps growing closer, the door was suddenly opened with force and behind it a mess of black hair showed up.
Rei was shocked by his presence and didn't say anything for some time, only looking straight at him like a deer caught in headlights. Eichi took that chance to sneak a glance inside the room, Rei's room was mostly the same as he remembered, save it for the lump of clothes on top of his bed, so that's where his clothes vanished to, forming what he supposed to be a nest.
It wasn't exactly unheard of for alphas to nest, nesting was mostly associated with omegas, but alphas still had a drive to make a safe space when stressed, share with their mate or just at the need to feel closer to their loved ones.
‘Cute’ was the only word that came to his mind, he didn't think he would one day actually use that to describe Sakuma Rei, but here they were. He tried to get a better look, but was blocked by Rei putting his body in his field of vision.
Rei looked troubled, he seemed like he wanted to reach out, but was forcing himself to stay put.
“Eichi-” His hand moved up, only to be taken back as if it got burned the moment their eyes met, instead he opted to use it to brush against his scent glands “You shouldn't be here… Why are you- Hasumi said he was taking you to the hospital”
So that's what Keito and Wataru were talking about, Wataru probably convinced him against it as he was basically stabilized at that point.
Nevermind that Eichi decided to take drastic actions, he took a step forward and closer to Rei.
Rei took a small step back.
“Fufu you know I have a, what does Keito call it… ah right… a bad habit of poking a hornet's nest” a step forward and another backwards “This is me doing just that you could say”
Another step.
Rei stayed put.
Eichi hummed in appreciation, moving his hand up towards Rei's face, he flinched at the initial touch, softly caressing it. He could see Rei's hand aching to reach out, a chance to touch him even after all that.
“You can also touch me, you know?” He tried to sound more confident, but there was still a chance Rei would refuse his advance. “I want you to” was said more like a mumble than anything else.
Rei was startled by the words Eichi said, but it was all he needed to let go and pull the younger one into an embrace. He nosed at his scent gland, taking in big uneven breaths of his scent as if his life depended on it.
Eichi started to slowly run his hand into the soft black locks while the other ran small circles into his back in a soothing motion.
After some time he heard a small hiccup on his neck and tears running down his collarbone, he knew that if he probably spoke up right at that instant it would do more damage than good, so he let Rei keep on while calming him down with his previous actions.
When Rei calmed down enough to talk he dislodged himself from it's place and looked straight into Eichi's eyes.
“I'm sorry” That was definitely one of the weakest moments Eichi had seen from Rei.
He smiled at him and pressed a small peck on his lips.
“I know you didn't mean to hurt me…” he moved Rei's palm towards his lips and kissed it “You would never actually hurt me”
Rei looked as if he would cry again if Eichi let him, so he opted to give him a deep kiss for all his worries.
When he pushed away he smiled and pressed a soft kiss to his lips again. Separating themselves, Eichi was met with the nest Rei had previously made and it gave him an idea.
“Do you want me to help with the nest?” He didn't mean to offend how it looked, but it clearly looked like it was made in the heat of the moment without much thought.
Rei looked back at it, he had mostly thrown Eichi's clothes in his bed haphazardly, just for a semblance of the omega scent while he laid down.
He looked at the nest and back at Eichi, he threw all the clothes to the ground and ignored the blond's surprised noise at the action. Eichi thought he had offended Rei with his comment, but he reached forward for his hand and slowly guided him to lay down on the bed and get comfortable.
Rei looked around a bit as if judging what he should add to his nest, only to lay down on top of Eichi close to his heart.

"Aira!"
Hiiro bursting into Aira’s room without any type of notice beforehand was already a common occurrence, even with all of his scolding and asking his parents to call for him when the other showed up unannounced, but it still made him get scared by the suddenness of it. This time was no different than the others, Aira jumped from the noise and fell from his chair onto the room floor with a loud thump.
"Owowow... Hiiro-kun, I told you to knock before entering my room..." He rubbed his back, still not looking into the other's direction.
"I met the character from that game you installed on my phone last week" He reached into his back pocket, thrusting it into Aira's face and pointing at the now opened game on his phone screen, showing the familiar character Hiiro had taken a liking to "He looked just like the Sakura petal warrior”
Aira scrunched his face at the sight, he didn't think he would have to explain that 'No Hiiro-kun game characters aren't real people', but seeing the current situation unfold maybe that would have been a good talk to have.
"Hiiro-kun there is no way you met a game character in real life... y'know they just exist inside the screen" he could see Hiiro deflate a little at every word "Maybe you just met someone that by chance looked like him" Aira put his arm forward and waited for Hiiro to help him get up.
He put a hand on the other’s shoulder and gave it a small pat.
"But maybe if he caught your attention you could talk to him, maybe it was something like fate for you to see him~"
That talk had taken place one week ago and Aira’s talk about it being ‘Fate’ for them to have met seemed to be a reality. Hiiro met the Sakura guy, as Aira had nicknamed him, every single day since then, going as far as to sometimes seeing him more than once at the beginning. Sakura guy, or as he later learned Kohaku, had a similar routine as his, making it possible that Hiiro had many chances to strike a conversation with.
The first time Hiiro had seen the other was at the cafe his Brother’s boyfriend, Niki, owned, Kohaku asked for a small piece of cake with coffee and exited the place the moment he finished eating. It seemed he had already been a regular at that point, if the way Niki acted towards him was anything to go by, and just changed his usual time for the exact same time Hiiro showed up for his daily breakfast omurice.
Everything was aligned in his favor.
There was just a small problem. Hiiro couldn’t bring himself to start a conversation with the other, all he could do was stare at him while he ate, hoping he would take notice of it and start a conversation on his end.
Which, looking back, wasn’t the exact best way to go as Kohaku hadn't taken all the staring in a positive light, jumping from his seat and immediately walking into his direction. Hiiro thought his plan had worked, that is until Kohaku started to threaten him, not giving him a chance to explain himself. Thankfully, Niki took notice of the situation and managed to defuse it before it got physical, explaining the reason Hiiro had been staring at him for the past week. Kohaku was left dumbfounded by the actual reason for all the staring, but accepted the explanation with a small laugh, offering an apology for his drastic action and offering to share a table the next morning if he wanted.
Hiiro took the offer to heart, arriving earlier and patiently waiting for the other and the moment he saw the familiar pink hair calling him over with an excited smile. The same pattern kept repeating and as the time passed Kohaku warmed up to his presence, sharing small details about his life. He found out Kohaku at first showed up in the afternoon at the shop, but after his classes started decided it would be better to have his breakfast there, since even if he lived at the dorms he still had to pay for his meals so he just found it better to spend money at a place that actually had good food.
During one of their many meetings, Hiiro showed the famous character that started their friendship, which made Kohaku turn pink at the sight of it. The character had in fact been based on his appearance, his roommate actually had submitted a design based on his appearance for one of the game’s contests, the winner would have their design made into an actual character in the game and by luck he actually won. He didn’t think someone would actually recognize him from it and let the other accept the prize.
As time passed their meetings weren’t only at Niki’s shop, it started with Hiiro invited Kohaku to a small cake shop his brother had found one day and after seeing Kohaku light up at the mention of sweets and expression during the actual meeting made him continue inviting him out more times, asking Niki for new suggestions every week for new places the other would like.
Having to cancel one of their many meetings was normal, sometimes the rain was too strong for them to be outside or their schedules didn’t overlap. Hiiro thought this one would be just like the others and already was in the process of offering another day, but was surprised by Kohaku inviting him to come over to his dorm to watch a movie his roommate had bought over one day.
That day opened a new door to their usual meetings and they didn’t let it be exclusive to just watching a new movie or show they had found. Sometimes Hiiro would visit Kohaku to help him with his homework or a difficult subject, other times they would be invited to Niki’s apartment for dinner and most of the time they would just visit the other for the sake of seeing the other. Most of their home meetings happened at Hiiro’s house, it was actually Rinne’s but he spent more time at Niki’s apartment that the house was basically his at this point, since Kohaku made sure his roommate was out every time they met at his dorm.
Hiiro had met the famous roommate once, which, of course, led to the question ‘Are you Sakura's boyfriend’. He could see Kohaku's face turn red by the question, sputtering out answers while trying to calm himself. What he didn't take into account was Hiiro's weird ability to always make him even more flustered, ‘We aren't ready for that step yet’, and being banned from coming over when Jun was at the dorms.
Today was one of those times where they just wanted to spend time together. Kohaku had invited Hiiro over since Jun had gone out to stay at his boyfriend’s house and left him alone for the night, making it the best possible situation for Hiiro to come over to spend time together.
The night had been going the same as the others, with both taking place on Kohaku’s bed while they just talked about their day and as the time passed they would stray away from their initial position. At the present time Hiiro was focused on his phone playing a game while Kohaku had moved so his back was towards the other’s chest, they don’t remember the moment where cuddling had become a normal occurrence, but now they seemed to just gravitate towards each other when the place would allow for it.
The moment got interrupted by a sudden growl from Kohaku’s stomach,he usually always ordered food at the same time, but his current position was so comfortable he lost track of how long he had stayed that way. Kohaku tapped the other’s arm twice so Hiiro would ease his hold and made his way towards the small ‘Kitchen’ area.
Jun and him had amassed a huge number of restaurant fliers from their time living together, to a point they couldn’t even fit it into their small fridge anymore, and Kohaku made sure to make use of them every time Hiiro came over. Usually Kohaku was the one that chose their meal, making sure to always ask the other if he was okay with the choice, but once in a blue moon Hiiro would be the one in charge of it.
It had been a while since Hiiro was the one in charge of the choice, so he thought it would be the perfect time to give him the final say.
“Hiiro-han?” He tried yelling to get the other’s attention, but was left in silence “Hiiro-han what do ya want for dinner?” This time he began moving back to the bed, papers in hand.
Hiiro noticed the presence at his side this time and dropped his phone on the bed in favor of putting his attention towards Kohaku.
“Do ya wanna choose what we get for dinner today?”
“Umu, I don’t mind if you pick again this time. You always choose something both of us like”
That was another common occurrence when Kohaku gave Hiiro the choice, he would push the decision back towards him. Kohaku was so used to the situation he would already have a restaurant picked for this exact reason.
“The food should be here in 40 minutes” Kohaku looked towards the other, who again was pouring all his attention back into the game “What got all of your attention anyways?”
At first Kohaku thought he would have to speak up again to get his attention, but right after it Hiiro showed him his phone. On the screen was the famous Sakura petal warrior wearing a groom's outfit, while what he assumed was Hiiro’s character at his side dressed up with the same outfit.
“They let us marry one of the characters for a bonus in our stats” The phone was turned off and placed on the bedside table “Of course I had to marry Sakura petal warrior, he looks just like you”
Hiiro had some kind of ability that made it possible for him to speak about what someone would think of as embarrassing as if he was just pointing out the weather and every time he did it Kohaku would get flustered. This specific type of topic always made Kohaku turn as red as the other’s hair.
“Ya married him cause he looks like me?”
He tried his best to hide his flustered expression behind his eyes, but it didn’t work for long as Hiiro moved to grab his hands into his, smiling all the while.
“Umu of course! He looks just like the one I like”
Hiiro at the moment had his entire attention towards Kohaku’s face as it got even redder than before.
The next seconds Kohaku let his body talk for him, he made use of Hiiro’s hold and pushed him forward towards himself, smashing their mouths together, smiling at the surprised noise the other let out and pushing back when he tried to reciprocate it.
“Stop… sayin’ embarrassin things-” He moved down and pressed another kiss “How do ya always say stuff like that as if it was normal”
Kohaku got his hands out of the hold Hiiro had them in and turned his head to the side to hide his face from the other’s incessant gaze. Hiiro hadn’t tried to talk since Kohaku managed to quiet him, all he did was stare into his direction while touching his lips with his hand and, after what felt like a century, moved his hand away from his face, shooting up into Kohaku’s direction.
“Can you do it again” It wasn’t much of a question as it was a plead “Can you please do it again”
Kohaku obliged, pressing another kiss to his lips. This time though, Hiiro was better prepared, reciprocating the kiss at the moment their lips touched, using his hands to pull the other closer towards himself, only pulling back the moment Kohaku began hitting his shoulder from a lack of air.
“How are ya… not out of air…” He let out a wheeze “Ya maniac”
Hiiro let out a small chuckle and hugged him tighter.
“I’m happy! You finally reciprocated my feelings”
“Shut up”
His words were supposed to sound harsh, but what got out was a much softer tone and at the moment Hiiro looked towards him again he pressed another kiss towards him. After some time they moved towards the bed so it would be easier for them, Kohaku taking place on Hiiro’s lap while the other pushed him closer.
Their make out session unfortunately was interrupted by the sound of Kohaku’s phone ringing, their food had arrived and the driver was waiting at the school’s gate for him. At the mention of having to let go of the other, Hiiro tightened his current hold and looked at him with a pleading look in his face.
“I need to get our dinner”
He pushed some of Hiiro’s hair away from his face and pressed a kiss into it, untangling himself from the iron grip he was put under and moving towards the dorm door and looking back towards Hiiro before leaving.
“After we eat… ya can have all the kissin’ ya want alright?”
The exact moment he saw Hiiro light up at the promise he walked out the door, a smile on his face.
Dinner wouldn’t take long this time.
The moment Izumi opened the door to his shared apartment he wasn't met with the usual sounds that were expected with the notion of living with Tsukinaga Leo, he was someone that didn't know the concept of silence afterall, always looking for something to entertain himself, so, to put it bluntly, the eerie silence their shared living space was in was concerning. Extremely so.
He had spent the entire day away, leaving Leo to do whatever he wanted without Izumi nag at him at what he should and shouldn’t do, which by itself meant he would be coming home to at least a mess of papers strewn across the floor, mostly uneaten peeled fruits Izumi had so kindly left out for him and if he was lucky no ink stains in their furniture. But, even after leaving their entrance the apartment and preparing himself mentally for the damage all he found was the apartment the exact same way he had last seen it, which along with the silence he had been welcomed to made the entire situation more suspicious than ever.
Making his way into their shared kitchen there were still no signs of life inside, Leo at his point would have already sensed his arrival if he was composing, dropping everything he was doing to run into his direction, like an excited dog with the premise of it’s owner coming back home, with his usual array of questions and clinginess. Putting down the bag of groceries he had in the kitchen counter he looked around for any sign Leo had gone inside the kitchen the entire day, the plate of fruits he had peeled so Leo would actually eat something while he was out was, predictably, left untouched in the fridge.
It wasn’t an unusual occurrence by itself, but added with everything else just went on to add to his growing paranoia.
"Leo-kun! Didn't I tell you what would happen if you hadn't eaten again by the time I got home?!" He tried to only let out his usual snappy tone out, but it was underlined with worry.
Of course they both knew all of Izumi's threats were unfounded, still he had an image to maintain.
"Leo-kun!" The worried note was seeping more and more into his voice.
If Leo for some reason had to go out when Izumi wasn't home he made sure to leave a message for him, be it a note attached to the fridge or a quick message to his phone, but at the present moment nothing like that was in sight. Which, again, wasn’t unheard of, Leo was a forgetful being by nature, that was the main reason he and Izumi were living in the same place, but it didn’t make him any less paranoid.
Now, any sane person would let it go by this point and chalk it up to forgetfulness, also it wasn't like Leo was not a fully functioning adult when he actually needed, but, of course, Izumi Sena was anything but sane, picking up his phone and sending messages to everyone he knew asking if they had any idea where Leo had gone to, 'Izumi-chan you know he also has a life if his own, right?', and when that didn't produce results, only Naru laughing at his expense, he began to blast the other's phone with messages and calls.
He might have been on what was his 50th missed call, wondering if he should just go looking for Leo around the city, when the sound of keys jangling was heard. Izumi rushed towards the sound, reaching it at the moment it opened and ginger hair was seen.
There stood the source of all his problems, Tsukinaga Leo in all his glory, two bags in hand and a pastry in his mouth, looking as unfazed as ever.
"Where. Were. You?!" He punctuated each word with a hit to the other’s chest with his finger.
Leo waited until the last hit to his chest went through and for Izumi usual scowl to settle in before he made another move, grabbing him by the arm and pulling Izumi towards him.
"SENA!"
He hugged Izumi with all his strength, dropping the bags he had on the floor and tackling him to the ground.
"LEO-KUN!" He let out a grunt right after, the fall did hurt kind of.
"Sena! I missed you!" he started rubbing his face against Izumi's, just like an over excited dog. "Look what I found" he dislodged himself just enough to reach into the forgotten bags presenting a magazine to the other, looking pleased at himself for his find, again just like a dog.
The magazine looked normal enough, Izumi had bought it a couple of times since it focused on models so it wasn’t entirely unknown to him. He tried to grab it only for Leo to put it out of his grasp and begin going from page to page without looking back, finally reaching the one he wanted and pushing it towards Izumi. There in the middle of the page was a picture of Izumi along with 2 other models he had worked with, along with the title of ‘Up and coming models’ in big letters . That shoot hadn’t been easy, being hit with delays and problems the entire time, almost dropping it once only continuing after being into it by Leo.
“Wahahaha! Your expression is even better than I imagined! The inspiration is flowing, I need a pen and paper!” He dislodged himself from Izumi, running towards their shared room as if his life depended on it.
Izumi didn’t even have the energy to complain, keeping his entire attention on the page in his hand. His hard work was finally getting the recognition it deserved, in a magazine known between other models and agencies even.
He must have stayed in the same position for what must have been 10 minutes before coming back to his surroundings. The bags Leo had dropped before were still in the same place, with its contents splayed in the ground, and his half eaten pastry near a plant pot from when Leo had tackled him. He wasn’t even in the mood to be mad with the mess Leo made the exact moment he entered their home, moving to gather everything into the forgotten bags and picking up the sad pastry on the ground. Taking them to the kitchen before looking for Leo in their room, writing intently with his newfound inspiration.
Of course his attention span was anything but fickle when composing, but Izumi Sena seemed to always rank higher in his life. Leo looked up and smiled, presenting a new composition to him, waiting patiently for his opinion.
“Isn’t this too… romantic for a song?”
“Of course it is! Sena was the inspiration for it”
Leo always managed to say embarrassing things without batting an eye. Moving to cling to Izumi without asking for permission.
“Anything I write about Sena is romantic because I love him! So it always makes it to my songs about him”
“Shut up” He felt his face start to burn “Where were you anyways, I tried to call you and you didn’t even answer”
That seemed to put Leo off, he probably expected Izumi to have forgotten his sudden disappearance.
“I smelled something great in the streets so I went after it” As if that was something everyone did on their day to day life “Then I got hit with a sudden wave of inspiration from the smell, but I didn’t have a pen or paper to write it so I went to a nearby store looking for one. But then! a magazine caught my eye and I began to look through it while waiting for my turn at the cashier and out of nowhere I see Sena in it!”
That looks exactly like the usual Leo thought process, at least this proves he didn’t actually go missing without reason, the reason was just insane enough for it to be normal.
“Didn’t I tell you to leave a message if you left the apartment?”
“I only remembered when I was already out, but my phone was out of charge and I thought you would get home later”
At least this mystery was solved. Leo at least seemed to have eaten something besides the forgotten floor pastry and bought what he was looking for while at it, so it wasn’t a totally useless use of his afternoon and the apartment wasn’t the usual mess Leo left it in so he had more time to cook their dinner. The only problem at the present moment was the tight grip he found himself in that didn’t show signs of letting go.
“Leo-kun, I need to start dinner. Can you let me go now?”
“Sena didn’t give me my welcome back kiss!” He looked back at him with a pout on his face, tightening his hold for a second.
“Ehhh… since when did I give you one of those?”
Okay fine, he might have started giving Leo kisses every time he left and came back to their house. At first he did it because Leo looked extremely happy every time he did it, so it became some kind of ritual to them already, but Izumi was anything but honest with his feelings so Leo would have to work towards his prize if he really wanted it. Of course, the position he was in was stacked up in the other’s favor, tightening his hold and pushing his face towards him still with the same pout, huffing when he didn’t get exactly what he wanted right away.
“Sena! Come on… I even bought that magazine for you, don’t I deserve a prize?”
Izumi was thankful to him for that and was put in a good mood thanks to it, maybe he should make it easier on him this time around.
“Fine” he gave a small peck to his cheek “Are you happy now? Let me go already I need to start dinner if you actually want to eat tonight”
“NOO!” he began shaking Izumi faster then before “Sena you are so mean…I want an actual kiss not this”
As always Leo was never happy with just a small amount of affection when it came to Izumi, always wanting everything he could get and soaking it up and asking for more at the same time.
“You said a kiss and didn’t say where, you were lucky you actually got one” Leo’s shaking of his body didn’t let up, it got worse if anything “Stop being annoying, if you want a kiss let me go first weirdo”
That seemed to work as Leo let go of his body the same moment looking at him with expectant eyes. Izumi grabbed his face with his hand pulling it towards him and planting a small peck on his lips, that was all it was supposed to be at least if it wasn’t for Leo grabbing hold of him again and deepening the kiss.
Leo was a good kisser himself, always making sure Izumi was satisfied during it, paying close attention to every little movement on his part and reacting accordingly and making Izumi fall even further into it. That seemed to be his idea at least, what he didn’t add into his equation was Izumi not being in the mood to actually kiss at the moment, biting down on his lower lip and pinching at his side.
“Ow! Sena what was that for” He brought his hand to his bitten lip.
“I thought I told you we need to start dinner soon, didn't I?” He turned around not bothering to listen to the tangent Leo would go into.
Leo could only pout and follow Izumi into their kitchen, smiling to himself while at it.
This has been a terrible mistake. Really, a terrible one. Eichi had been to parties made by his parents, 'You have to learn how to socialize with high society, not those idols you like for some reason', drinking at them was expected, even if he was still under the drinking age and hated the mere smell of them, but it always had been contained to small quantities, two glasses here and there. It was a routine at this point, drink some glasses, as slowly as possible, while maintaining small talk with potential business partners and after some time excuse himself early, citing important meetings early in the morning as the reason.
The Tenshouin family throwing a party for their only son’s birthday was a normal occurrence, his parents made sure the doctors were paying extra attention to his health when a party was coming. So when his parents proposed, it wasn’t a choice, a party for his 20th birthday he didn’t pay much mind to it, adjusting his schedule for the Q&A with his fans to end earlier so their times didn’t clash and making sure everyone in the agency knew about it.
Of course, not rising suspicion was what got him into this precarious situation. First some closer businnes associates made their way towards him, congratulating his 20th birthday started their usual script, ‘Your parents raised such a handsome young man they must be proud’, offering their daughter’s hand in marriage, ‘If lady Himemiya is still unsure, my daughter would love to be your wife’, Eichi started to tune them out, sometimes laughing at the same old jokes they told every year.
Then when they offered to refill his glass, ‘You are a big man now, don’t be shy, drink more’, Eichi tried to offer his usual rebuttal, only to feel his father approach him from behind and place a hand on his shoulder and answer for him, ‘Of course he accepts, right Eichi?’. He tried to get a grasp of the situation, looking at his father for an answer only to be met with the same cold smile he used when Eichi didn’t follow his orders, daring him to go against him. So all he could do was down the glass in his hand and present it to the associate for a refill, ‘You must be just like your father, he doesn’t get drunk even if he drinks for the whole party’, who laughed when Eichi smiled towards him.
The same pattern repeated itself for the rest of the night, an associate he doesn’t even remember came up to talk to him, offered to fill him a new glass and watched, almost anxiously, for him to finish his glass before offering another one. Eichi lost count how many glasses he had drank and by now he was, simply put, drunk. The conversations which he didn’t care for started to only show as a blur at that point, people were still pushing more alcohol onto him and he was starting to slip up in the conversations he was having, rambling on and on about his actual interests not those scripts his parents forced him to memorize, to a point his parents decided it was enough, joining the conversation to excuse their son for the night, ‘He has an important meeting in the morning’. Of course, it wasn’t out of concern about their son’s situation, but out of fear he would ‘dirty the family's name’.
So he took the opportunity and started to bid farewell to the mob of faces he had been socializing for the past hours, tumbling over his own feet everywhere, it wasn’t that big of an issue as almost everyone at the place was too drunk to not be the same, and calling his driver to take him home.
Now any sober person might have gone with the original plan, go to his dorm and if his health deteriorated during the night to go to tue hospital, but of course Eichi wasn't a sober person and insisted the driver got him to the beach and sending a quick text without much explanation to Rei, of course the text was probably just a ramble without a single coherent word that Rei would probably take way too long to decipher, but he knew that somehow he would find him either way.
So here he was drunk, way too tipsy for him to trust his own legs and waiting for someone that probably was grasping at straws trying to look for him while seating in the sand of a empty beach, with the cold wind of the sea making him stay awake and sobering him up.
The whole day was hectic, Eichi didn’t stay for the after party at Ensemble Square and so hadn’t had the time to talk to his own friends on his own birthday. What made it even worse was the fact one of the meetings he had to clean on his schedule was the dinner Rei had been talking about the whole month, he had booked a small restaurant in a part of town where idols weren’t as widespread and they could just be themselves without thinking much about their surroundings and maintaining their image. Eichi had been looking forward to it the entire time and dreaded having to cancel it, but his parents, as always, were a bigger priority in his life. Rei understood the entire situation, saying they could always reschedule for another day, but Eichi could see he was disappointed with the entire circumstance.
The only thought running through his mind was finding a location that there weren’t people around at this time of the night and making sure Rei would come his way.
He doesn’t even know how much time passed since he first arrived at the beach and told his driver he would call him when needed. He, finally, could hear soft footsteps on the sand, only for them to turn quicker and heavier, stopping by his side.
"You know 'mwt me 1o bac ' isn't really a good clue to where you were" Eichi could hear Rei's breathing being somewhat ragged, he probably had been running around looking for him "I've been looking for you everywhere you know, Wataru somehow managed to decipher your code and I managed to find you here by mere luck"
Eichi didn’t answer him, continuing to gaze towards the ocean as if Rei wasn’t even there. Rei sat down by his side after a while and bumped his shoulder against the blond’s waiting for him to feel comfortable to talk about it, Eichi let his head fall onto the offered member, nuzzling closer to it, and let out a sigh.
"The party went that bad then huh" Rei started to run his hand into the blond locks and with the other reached for something "Here drink some"
He offered Eichi a bottle of water, which he tried to grab, only for it to fall to the ground with a soft thud and a small laugh to be heard to his side. Eichi tried to sound his complaint but all that he managed to get out was a grumble, pinching the other’s side as a warning, which of course only made the laughter get louder.
"Don't worry your majesty, this humble peasant will help you"
Eichi let out another grumble but didn't push him away, so Rei took it as permission to continue. He brought the bottle to the other's lips and helped him take small sips.
Eichi kept his head tucked in Rei's shoulder only lifting it up to take another small sip from the bottle and immediately after moving back to its rightful place, letting out small noises when he wanted something else which Rei dutifully answered.
Some time passed and Eichi was beginning to, thankfully, sober up, finally being able to form small sentences without slurring his speech, but still maintaining his comfortable position, almost dozing off multiple times only to be awakened by the cold breeze of the ocean.
“I missed you” It was said in such a small voice he wasn’t sure Rei would be able to hear it, making sure to hide his face as the words left his mouth.
If he heard it he didn’t make it known, instead changing to an entire different topic.
"We should probably go back, it's getting way too late for an angel to be awake"
Rei started to get up pulling the blond along with him, guiding him over to where he parked his motorcycle and handing him a helmet and placing him into the back seat. Eichi tried his best to keep himself awake during the ride, clinging tightly to Rei, not paying attention to their surroundings.
When the motorcycle finally stopped Eichi lifted his head trying to make sense of where he currently was, Rei seemed to have thought it was a good idea to take him to his family home, not the familiar dorm he had grown attached to.
He tried to look towards Rei for an answer, receiving a shrug and a hand coming to the small of his back guiding towards the unfamiliar mansion.
"I couldn't exactly take you back to the dorms and risk waking up our dear Shiratori-kun could I?" Eichi tried to sound his protest, he knew Aira was currently having a sleepover with his friends, but Rei didn’t let him go thought with them "Don't worry Ritsu is sleeping over at Mao and my parents aren't home"
As if that was the problem. Either way it was the Sakuma household or going back to his family home, between the two the answer was obvious. Also, Eichi was too tired to actually start their usual banter.
"Rei..." he let out a yawn, still following whatever place Rei was taking him to in his maze of a house. Rei hummed at the sound of his name turning his head towards the blond waiting.
“Yes?”
“Thank you for finding me”
"You know I would do it all over again if you needed" he pressed a kiss to the blond's forehead.
Eichi wasn’t one to be opposed to Rei’s affections, but the sudden kiss had taken him off guard and he could feel his face begin to turn red. Rei, thankfully, chose not to comment on it, still guiding them towards his room.
"Oh here we are, make yourself comfortable on my bed, I will only grab some more water from the kitchen"
He tried to communicate he didn’t want Rei to leave him, taking hold of his shirt and refusing to let it go “Don’t worry it will be really quick” He tried to appease Eichi “We can do whatever you want when I come back, how about it?” The blond thought for a while and decided it was a good compromise, letting go of the shirt and turning towards the room.
Rei's room was mostly normal, save for the coffin, and it surprisingly had a bed in it, which Eichi waddled towards, falling down on it as if his strings got cut moving under the covers and making himself comfortable. He never spent much time at the Sakuma household, sometimes he did go in but they were for a small amount of time, mostly when Ritsu found him outside waiting for Rei and ushering him in, ‘Stop being a creep outside my house Echan’, and making him wait on the couch present in the living room.
He heard the door open, signaling Rei coming back to his room with another bottle of water in hand and something for him to eat in the other, moving closer and sitting at the other side of the bed, handing him the bottle of water and putting what looked like a disfigured cupcake on the dresser.
Eichi didn’t pay any mind to the bottle, dropping it to the mattress, instead turning towards Rei and opening his arms, waiting for him to get the hint. He took a second to understand the meaning, but threw himself at the blond’s embrace right after, waiting patiently for the next move.
“You didn’t answer me earlier” He said it while playing with the raven’s hand, trying to look uninterested.
He could only laugh, of course Eichi would still be hung up on that and show it in such a childish way.
“Well, I thought it was implied when I ran all over town looking for you” That wasn’t the answer Eichi wanted at the time, grabbing Rei’s hand and biting his index finger, making him let out a small yelp “Ouch don’t hurt this old man” he bought his hand towards his heart “Of course I missed you too” He pressed his lips against the younger’s and pulling back after a second.
“Again”
He kissed him again, laughing into the kiss. Only to feel a sting on his lips when he tried to pull back.
“Who said you could stop?” He felt his eyes starting to drop, but still tried his best to show a pout.
“Sorry your majesty, it just looks like you might fall asleep into our kiss” Even saying that pressed another kiss to the other’s mouth “Go to sleep love, tomorrow I have a small surprise for you”
He felt lips being pressed against his forehead, he didn’t want to admit Rei was right but his eyes were refusing to keep themselves open and he could feel himself being pushed further into sleep, so he decided to finally let sleep take over, hugging the other even tighter. He heard the sound of what he supposed was the bedside drawer being opened and then feeling Rei shuffling from his position, which he let a annoyed noise out, a hand came to play with his hair making him nuzzle closer to it, he felt something cold come in contact with his hand and right after being slipped into his finger. He didn’t have the energy to actually look at what just happened, falling asleep right after.
Rei turned the hand towards him, the ring shining under the light of the room, kissing it.
“Happy birthday my love”

Aira had been the one to propose the idea for his other dorm mates, 'It will be fun!' he said dangling a mistletoe on his left hand beaming up at his seniors. Of course they couldn't say no, Aira was someone both couldn't bring themselves to say no to afterall, so the mistletoe was hung at the door of their room.
They changed the rules a little, any form of physical touch would be counted, specially after Eichi had given a small kiss to Aira's hands and he almost fainted at the action.
That had been a couple of weeks ago, they had grown used to the small plant hanging up from their door frame exchanging small touches everytime they passed underneath it. It, of course, wouldn't have been complete without Rei and Eichi turning it into a discussion everytime both passed under it.
"Sakuma-kun, I thought I told you to wait a while before entering the room"
That wasn't their first fight over the poor plant, the first time Aira unfortunately was inside the room and had to be a victim to their argument, after a while they gave eachother a hug and entered the room without exchanging another word for a couple of minutes.
The problem was when both started turning the mistletoe affection into a competition, it was expected honestly, they didn't even remember who started it, their actions began turning more risky from their initial hug. Even going as far as to stop under the plant even when Aira wasn't around to remind them of its presence, just to continue this strange game they found themselves unwillingly into but too petty to call quits.
Last time Rei had biten Eichi's finger, leaving a ring shaped mark around his index finger and soothing it over with his tongue, entering the room as if the blond wasn't left the same color as the other's eyes. Eichi couldn't say he also didn't join into this little game they unknowingly got themselves into, during one occasion he decided kissing the tip of the other's nose while they were mid argument would be a wonderful idea, the argument did stop at least Rei jumping back from the action and touching where Eichi's lips had made contact.
So it wasn't a surprise this time would be any different from the others. Thankfully for Aira he wouldn't be having to see the entire debacle.
"I believe I don't have to follow your orders if I want to" Eichi could hear the smirk behind his voice.
"Sometimes I do wonder if you don't plan these encounters" he began growing impatient at the sight of the small smirk beggining to form into Rei's face "Let's get this over with already"
What he didn't expect was for Rei to grab his face with a hand and kiss the corner of his mouth as if that was a normal occurrence into their daily life. Eichi could feel his face beggining to turn red as the other pulled back.
"Oh? What's this?" The blond tried to escape the other's grasp to hide his face "Is our dear Tenshouin-kun blushing like a young maiden?" He let out a small laugh at the sight, letting go of the other's face in favor of entering their room.
Eichi could feel the place where he was kissed beginning to burn, bringing his hand up and touching the place, he could still feel the soft and surprisingly warm lips pressed against the corner of his mouth.
He looked inside the room, Rei was currently splayed in his bed with a book in his hand, concentrated in whatever it was about, not showing a single sign of being embarrassed by his previous actions. Then an idea came up, one that would probably have Keito turn his face into utter disgust if he heard it, he took out the mistletoe from its former place and began walking towards the other.
Rei let out a questioning noise when he saw Eichi approach the side of his bed.
"Sakuma-kun would you believe this, it seems we are under the mistletoe again" he tried his best to show a innocent smile in his face, using his left hand to hang the plant over their head.
The black haired male looked confused for a second but quickly caught on, dropping his book and turning to face the blond.
"It does seem like it doesn't it?" A small laugh was heard "well let's get this over with already right?"
This guy! Fine if this is how they were going to play today.
Eichi didn't let it discourage him, starting to move into the other's bed not bothering to give him an explanation, at first he was only going to give him a scare, but Rei's reactions until now weren't what he was looking for so more drastic measures had to be taken. So, without letting the other have time to react, he slid into the other's lap making himself comfortable.
The blond looked up seeing the other surprised at the action, there was a interesting reaction. But it was short lived, as Rei quicky adapted to their predicament, sliding his hands up Eichi's tighs, as if they belonged there, and pulling him higher into his lap, kneading into the soft flesh with one hand while the other stayed on his waist.
"Hmmm.. I wouldn't have expected you of all people to be this foward Tenshouin-kun" again that stupid laugh "Well don't let me stop you, go ahead" He felt Rei's hands tighten their hold for a second before returning to their previous stance, waiting patiently for the next move.
Eichi dropped the mistletoe on top of Rei's pillow, looking into the black haired's face he had a calm and composed look etched on his face. He was going to wipe that look out of his face. The blond cradled the other's face between his hands and began descending towards him, only to stop right next to the other's lips.
His initial plan wasn't supposed to go this far, but he wasn't exactly against this turns of events. He could feel Rei's warm breath hit his face in small intervals, Eichi waited for a while, giving a way for the other to push him away if so desired. He then heard a growl from under him and a hand in the back of his head, tangling into blond locks and pushing him towards the other's lips.
Eichi let out a noise of protest at the other's action, biting his bottom lip and relishing in the moan that came out of the other. He couldn't say Rei didn't know how to kiss someone, he began massaging his scalp with one hand, while the other moved from it's former death grip in his hips lower into his ass, giving it a firm squeeze and kneading into it.
After some time he felt a soft pressure on his lips gasping at the feeling, only to have Rei's tongue happily snake into his mouth, deepening the kiss. Eichi began to feel light-headed from the kissing, while it did feel good his lungs were beggining to burn from the lack of oxygen, moving his hand into the other's should and squeezing it with all the force he could muster.
Rei at least still had some kind of awareness to understand what Eichi wanted and started backing away, helping the blond off him, not before planting another kiss to his lips,and moving his head to the crook of his neck, tangling his hand into blond locks and massaging it and sometimes planting small kisses at the crown of his head.
They stayed that way for a while enjoying eachother's presence, but as Eichi began to recover his thoughts the entire situation dawned on him. Shooting up from his previous, quite comfortable, and bracing his arms on the side of the other's face, narrowing his eyes and trying to show some semblance of composure.
"You..." he let out a wheeze
It seemed he didn't actually recover completely falling down with a small cough when hitting the other's chest again.
"Me?" Rei didn't let him have a chance to try and speak, exclaiming rather loudly into the other's ear "Oh! Would you look at this Tenshouin-kun, it seems we are under the mistletoe again. Can you believe it?" Again that playful tone.
Eichi moved his head to the side so that he could look up, there on the top of their heads was Rei's hand dangling that god forsaken plant. He let out a huff and moved his head back towards the other's neck, he waited a while for Rei to let his guard down and bit down with all the strength he could muster.
He heard the older stiffen at the action, before letting out a small moan and tightening his hold on his ass.
"It would seem so Rei" He flattened his tongue at the place he had bitten as if soothing over the wound, felling the other let out a shiver "well, let's get this over with right?"
"Wouldn't want to disrespect the rules after all dear Eichi"

For generations only the women in the family were born with the powers to see the supernatural and with them they were given the duty of protecting the main family from any harm that could come for them.
That was until Kohaku was born, a male with the eyes that could see the unseen, the main family wasn't notified of his birth, a miscarriage they announced, and with that he was hidden behind walls, never to learn how to protect himself or other's from the supernatural. His childhood was filled with memories of spirits trying to hurt him, many of which could have succeeded had it not been for his sisters, to a point that he started to run away at the mere sight of one.
It didn't help that the entire house was made to deal with the supernatural with charms, incantations, cursed objects lying around as if they were normal house decorations. So, after turning 15 he left, with prior consultation of the elders, leaving behind the life he knew until then, moving into a small apartment provided by one of his sister's and looking for odd jobs that would accept someone his age with no previous experience or basic education.
The spirits are still there, but this time around they didn't orbit around him, they had their own life and rules in the city, some even lived alongside humans who were none the wiser their friends weren't as human as they thought. After a while he started getting used to some of them, the more human looking ones were the easiest to deal with as they were the most ingrained in normal human society, even as far as being friends with some.
This was the life he knew for the past 3 years, he still lived in the same apartment, this time paid entirely by him, he even got a permanent job now, in a hidden cafe owned by another with powers like him, there were still spirits that reminded him of his past, of which he still ran away from, but life was peaceful and he wouldn't have it any other way.
That was until now, new tenants came and went in his building, it was a normal process in the city afterall, be it humans or spirits that decided, for some reason or another, to live by society's rule. What wasn't normal was a fox showing up at his doorstep before he went to work, he could see it wasn't a normal fox, the power he felt from it sure wasn't something foxes had after all. At first he let out a small yelp at the sight then hunched over to try and see what he was dealing with.
The fox had a deep vermilion fur and black markings around his ears and paws, he could see it was shivering, letting out small whines from time to time, his first instinct was to do what he normally does with random spirits on his day, that being running away from it, but the fox looked so miserable with all the shivering and whining that he couldn't just let it be.
So, with his entire body shaking, he scooped up the creature, taking it inside his apartment. The apartment by itself wasn't anything too grand, composed of 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen next to a living room, but it was more of a home than where he grew up in. He took the small spirit into his bedroom and carefully laid it in his bed, the little fox let out a small purr at the feeling of hitting something soft quickly burrowing into the blankets that were still on the bed, he let out a small chuckle at the sight, even if it's a spirit he still was on the cuter side of the scale.
He would let the creature in his room while he went to work, it would probably have recovered by the time he got home. It wasn’t the first time he helped a small spirit get better, some took more time to recover, but they were always friendly after, always gifting him some small trinket or money as a thank you. He even managed to meet some of them later around the city.
This one spirit just looked tired, it probably was another victim of losing their usual habitat and found themselves lost in the city, wandering with no direction until they found a replacement or disappeared into thin air. At least this way it would have another fighting chance.
He walked towards the bedroom door, glancing behind to see the ball of fluff currently sinking further into his sheets.
"Don't break anythin' hear me"
The fox let out a small snore and curled further into itself. Cute little bastard. He took his bag and keys and headed out for the small cafe.
The cafe was busy as always in the first hours of the morning. The store wasn't anywhere near the center of the city, hidden away in the small neighborhood his boss grew up in, but it had a good reputation, mostly thanks for their delicious food.
He remembers when he first applied to the job, he had been jumping from job to job for around a yeat at that point, only to find the small cafe when returning from a random job he had, seeing a small poster looking for a new waiter.
The first few weeks working at the cafe were hard, all those sketchy jobs he had been used to didn't prepare him for this afterall, he fumbled over orders, spilled drinks and forgot some of his tasks. His boss, Niki, didn't let him quit though, encouraging him to continue everytime he thought about quitting.
Kohaku once asked why Niki had chosen him from all the other much more experienced candidates for the position, Niki had only smiled at him and said he reminded him of someone he knew.
Later on he met that someone, a fox spirit that had run away from home and Niki took in out of pity. That someone also was the biggest annoyance in his life, that was also now bothering him while he worked.
"Kohaku-chan~ Can you bring me another glass of this?" He shook the glass from side to side making the slowly melting ice cubes hit the glass making an annoying sound out of it.
He was currently splayed into the sofa near the entrance, playing a game with some small animal-like spirits that, unfortunately, got roped into the game. How Niki managed to share the same roof with this guy and not have killed him already is unknown, but what he did know was that Rinne wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted, be it sooner or later, one way or another.
What exactly the fox did when he wasn't at the cafe was a mystery, but he always showed up at one time or another, entering the shop loudly and taking his place into the sofa.
“Rinne-kun! Stop bothering him!” Niki, his savior, begins walking up towards them, probably having enough of Rinne making a ruckus into the cafe.
“Niki, my lovely wife” He shot up for his seat hitting a poor spirit on the way. “Kohaku-chan was just helping me win another game see~” He showed all the trinkets he managed to ‘win’ from the other spirits, his tail wagging from side to side.
“I don’t want any of it! Give them back to those little guys” He started yelling “Also stop calling me your wife! I’m a MAN!”
Kohaku knew how these arguments went already, Rinne would start to focus all of his energy into Niki, annoying and following him everywhere he went, so with a sigh of relief he started backing out of their argument and tried going back to work. It would be just a another hour until his coworker would come in and relieve him of his position. It just seemed that today annoying Niki wasn't enough to satisfy the fox.
He felt an arm loop around his neck and being pushed back into someone's chest, he tried resisting but a sudden wave of energy made him freeze.
"Where do you think you are going hmm?"
He felt Rinne's tails coming around him, locking him into place, he then felt his wrist being grabbed and moved near the other's face. Rinne's hold tightened on his wrist for a second before dropping it and releasing him from his tail prison.
Kohaku turned around, still a little shaken from his previous position, and found Rinne with a serious look on his face.
"Kohaku have you..." his expression had a hint of sadness in it, but quickly got covered up "Have you been taking strays into your house again?"
He could only nod, to which the fox narrowed his eyes and began swishing his tail in rapid movements.
"Remember that not all spirits are as nice as the ones you are used to in the city" he nodded again "If you need anything give us a call"
Rinne didn't leave any room for Kohaku to protest, turning his back immediately and walking out of the cafe without saying another word, leaving Kohaku confused at what had just happened.
He tried to ask Niki if he had any idea what made Rinne act like that, but when he looked into the other's direction he had a worried look on his face, that just like the fox had been immediately covered up by a smile.
"Kohaku-chan can you do the dishes for me?"
Again he could only nod.
They didn't mention the situation for the rest of their shift, working as they normally would any other work day. Though even if they didn't mention it there was still a tense atmosphere inside the cafe that ledt Kohaku tense the rest of his shift.
"Oukawa"
The voice pulled him out of his thoughts, behind him stood his coworker with a small pile of mugs.
"Himeru-han, sorry I didn't see ya" he scratched the back of his head reaching for the mugs currently in the other's hands "I will just finish these dishes and clock out"
"You've been washing the same plate for the past 10 minutes" Himeru sighed "Himeru can finish the rest, go home oukawa"
He didn't leave room for Kohaku to argue about his decision, pushing him aside and starting to clean the rest of the dishes.
Himeru had began working at the cafe at around the same time as him, he was someone Kohaku considered a good friend of sorts, even if Himeru himself wouldn't admit to it. Himeru was always looking out for him since they met, one time a customer had started to yell at him for getting his drink wrong, he didn't, only to have the blue-haired male go down on him and being forced to apologize.
Something was missing, it didn't matter what he put on his nest it still felt empty, soft blankets, pillows, even that god forsaken ratty old undead t-shirt Rei had given him once didn't manage to fulfill that felling of incompleteness.
Stupid instincts and their stupid way of not being clear with what it wanted.
How long has it been since he had been like this, fussing over something that wasn't supposed to be that big of a deal- it was a big deal he just wasn't supposed to show it- he likes to think it hasn't been that long but distinctly remembers it beggining that morning and it was already getting dark out.
He remembers waking up and feeling weird, the need to make something he felt safe in taking over his mind, a nest. Rei wasn't there when he woke up, it was weird he was almost never was up before him, no messages or anything just gone, Eichi could feel sadness forming in his gut but quickly brushed it away. His instincts wanted a safe space and he needed to satisfy it, even if his mate wasn't there to help, and he would show Rei he could make a perfectly good one without him.
That's how he spent the entire morning searching for the right materials to make the perfect nest, one that he would be proud of showing his mate. But after some time he hit a wall, nothing he added seemed to make it perfect, Rei was going to be in the dorms soon and he didn't have anything to show.
"What is it that you're worrying about now?"
Ah. He didn't hear him come in, was he really that distracted that he wasn't even aware of the other's scent coming into the room.
"Sakuma-kun... you are earlier than expected" he moved in front of the bed where the nest was, covering it from the other's field of vision, which received a raised eyebrow from the older "It's... not done yet"
"I don't mind, we can finish together if you want"
Did he want it? A part of him wanted to but another was blaring though his mind 'No don't let him see it! He will definitely hate it'
"I- can you get more blankets from the storage room?" Eichi didn't need more blankets he needed something else in his nest something he couldn't quite put his finger on. All he needed was to find a way to buy a bit more time for him to finish it, while actually having Rei help in the building process. "I just need a couple more"
Rei let out a soft noise of approval and got closer to him, Eichi tried to obscure his vision of the incomplete nest the entire time, and kissed the top of his head.
"If my mate wants it he shall get it~" he let out a purring sound "I will get you some food while I'm at it, it won't be long"
Eichi tried to let out a noise of protest 'What...why are you not coming back straight away?' But at the same time heard his stomach growl, right he spent the whole day in this ordeal that he forgot to actually eat, he could feel his face growing hotter.
"Thank you..." it was a said in such a small voice he didn't think Rei would actually be able to hear him.
Rei gave him a small smile and walked towards the door muterring 'be back in a few' when closing the door.
He looked back at the nest, the thing was mocking him at this point, and tried to enter it, maybe it was only a feeling was wrong and he just needed to actually feel it for himself to make his worries go away. But the more he tried to get comfortable into it the more wrong it felt 'what if I'm not good enough for this?' He never did a nest before, always hiding behind blockers to maintain the perfect alpha son of the tenshouin conglomerate, hell he never even had a proper heat until Rei asked Eichi if he was comfortable to spend one with him.
Rei knew exactly what he was doing when they first spend his rut together, contrary to what Eichi had read from all of Keito's mangas alphas weren't sexual deviants during their ruts, alphas got more protective over their loved ones, Eichi distinctly remembers Rei not letting him leave the room before he was throughly scented, became more clingier, getting out of bed had been a hassle, and felt a high need to pamper other's, he couldn't count the number of times Rei called him just to ask if he needed something. And when his rut endend he just went back to normal as if nothing had happened.
Then here was Eichi, having a hard time making one of the most basic things an omega should do, maybe he wasn't a true omega just like his parents had told him all those years ago when he first presented, him not being able to do a nest should be proof enough of that, any omega could do it.
"Eichi?" He didn't see Rei entering the room again, he didn't even manage to smell his scent when he entered the room.
Eichi lifted his head to answer him but all he managed to get out was a chocked sob, when did he start crying?
"Hey... why are you crying?" the older dropped everything in the bedside table and crouched next to Eichi's bed where the nest was located, never actually entering it without explicit permission "Talk to me angel? What is bothering you?"
Eichi only managed to get up from the nest and hug Rei, sobbing on his shirt while the other tried to calm him down.
"I'm sorry you are stuck with a defective omega like me..." he started crying again.
"Who called you that?" He could smell the change in Rei's scent it became denser and harder to breathe, Eichi shook his head from his position.
"I can't even make a nest... it's a basic omega trait to be able to make one" his voice was muffled "Of course I'm defective"
Rei's scent cleared a little at those words as he started to understand the situation. Eichi could feel he change his position to be able to see his nest.
"Hmm... from what I see the nest you made is quite well made" he started purring "I can see you put a lot of work into it, you did an amazing job"
"It's not finished" he almost couldn't hear his voice from how faint it was
"Well maybe I could help you finish it?" The same question proposed before, but now it seemed somewhat different his omega instincts actually wanted it this time.
He nodded and Rei helped them both get up, sitting Eichi at the edge of the other's bed and going back to grab the blankets he had asked for before and a box with what looked to be food.
"Here, eat up. Just stay put and give me directions on what I should do okay?" Eichi could feel a small smile coming on his face "You did a good job already, so rest up and let your mate do the rest~"
They stayed like that Eichi giving small bites to his dinner while giving Rei directions on what should go in or out of the nest until he was mostly satisfied with the result.
"It still feels like something is missing"
"Ah maybe it could be this" he looked back to where Rei had gone to only to be tackled into the bed with the other who latched onto him like a koala.
He started to make a noise of protest on the back of his throat only for it to die down immediately after. He could feel Rei's scent in the nest now, that was what was missing something to remind him of his mate.
He could only let himself fall even more into the embrace realeasing a content noise.
"See its perfect~" he felt Rei start to rub his scent gland next to his "It just needed a few finishing touches"
It was comforting to finally feel that weight fall from his shoulders and with it only came exhaustion. He felt himself start to drift off from the comforting scent Rei was letting off and the soft purring noises he was now letting out.
"Tenshouin-kun is purring how cute" he knew it was supposed to be a joke to stray away from all the sentimental baggage they had gone though the past hour, but he still glared at the other either way pinching his torso.
"Im kidding don't hurt this poor old man" he pushed the blond closer to his chest.
"Thank you..." was all he managed to get out before finally sleep catched up to him.
"You know the fact you have fangs is both fascinating and equally weird"
Rei could see a sparkle in Eichi's eyes as he continued his adventure prodding at his fangs. The blonde's eyes always got a shine in them when something piqued his interest, like when Aira showed him a new up and coming Idol group he found, he always tried to actively not show it, trying his best to brush it off as if nothing happened and going back to his usual smile.
Rei's fangs were not normal by any means, sharp as they were unlike that of a normal human being, he knew that, the stares he received from a young age were enough of a reminder, but people usually didn't show such an enthusiastic fixation on it as his boyfriend was now showing.
He already had his suspicions, catching Eichi intense gaze in his direction when he as much as showed a sliver of his fangs or just his plain obsession with being bitten, even going as far as begging sometimes, so when he first asked if he could see Rei's fangs with the usual spark in his eyes all the older could do was yield and let him do as wanted.
One problem that wasn't taken into account was how much of a fixation the blond would let out, Rei's mouth was beggining to feel strained from the constant pressure of being forced open against it's will and he knew Eichi could see it was beggining to become uncomfortable but chose to not do anything about it.
"Its sort of cute, ever since I first saw you your fangs were ingrained in my memory..."
He continued his rant to which Rei started to zone out, only Eichi would be able to start a monologue about his teeth out of all things it was equally adorable as it was bothersome, but as adorable as it was his jaw couldn't really take the exploration any longer. He went to grab Eichi's hands away from his face only to be met with resistance and a disapproving glare sent his way, so instead he resorted to forcefully closing his mouth biting the invading fingers that were mapping his teeth to which Eichi quickly retracted his hands from the sudden pain, staring a them with a pout on his face that was quickly washed away in favor of sending a glare into his direction.
"As much as I enjoy indulging your weird obsessions, my jaw is starting to hurt" Rei started to try and relax his jaw muscles looking at the blond who was still glaring "I did give you a choice of getting them off"
That didn't seem to appease Eichi who continued sulking where he sat, staring holes into the other's head displeased from having his entertainment taken away. He started to move away from where he was initially in favor of going as far away as possible from Rei but still seated on the bed, turning away from him.
Rei sighed, it was a expected reaction from the blond he always got sulky when he didn't get what he wanted, and started to move on the bed going closer to the bed rest and tried to sit on a comfortable position, he could see his movements had caught some of Eichi's attention but he still didn't turn to look at him.
"Angel, come here" Rei said patting his lap.
Using that pet name was a underhand tactic and by the little shiver Eichi let out he could see it had worked, not that it actually had a chance to fail, and he slowly turned around, the pout was now back at full force on his face but he still tried to have a semblance of 'dignity' on his face by narrowing his eyes looking displeased at the idea of having to look into the older's direction, all it did was make him look even more like a sulking child that got his favorite toy taken away from him.
He tried to keep up his stance staring holes into Rei's head, even if it was obvious how interested he was in the whole situation, but lost his composure quite easily and started to slowly crawl his way to the offending lap getting comfortable into it before looking directly into his face again waiting for the next move. Rei then slowly grabbed Eichi's arms putting them around his neck giving a small kiss to the other's lips before closing his arms around him.
"Good boy~" Eichi blushed at that "This position will be more comfortable for us"
Rei started planting small kisses all over the blond's face, feeling his cheeks heating up with each kiss, never actually reaching his mouth, when he was got close to the edge of his lips he went back to another plac. He could see Eichi was beggining to get annoyed from the constant teasing the older was putting him through, so after a final kiss to his jaw Rei finally softly connected their lips which was received quite favorably by the blond who let out a pleased sound from finally getting what he wanted.
They continued like that for a while never deepening the kiss further, but at the sign of Eichi tightening his grasp at the black locks Rei pulled away, leaving the younger with a confused look on his face.
At first he tried to start the kiss again which quickly got denied by Rei's hand, the undead member could see a pout beggining to form on the other's face. Taking advantage of Eichi lowering his guard Rei crashed their mouths together roughly deepening the kiss and again without giving the younger a chance to reciprocate he pulled away biting on his lips with his fangs pulling a moan out of the blond and drawing blood, of which he quickly swiped away with his tongue.
Rei hummed while tasting the leftover blood "hmmm... as much as I dislike the taste of blood yours is quite something else" He swiped his tongue on the new droplets that started to appear on the surface "it has a unique taste that is quite addictive, maybe its because of your angelic nature that it tastes so good" he purred out, leaving Eichi blushing even harder than before "Ah... as much as I would love to continue I'm still not quite finished with you. Be a good boy and take what I give you will you?"
He doesn't give the other time for an answer before he starts his kissing rampage again, this time after deeming it enough he moves lower towards Eichi's collarbone and bites, eliciting a loud moan from his lover, before soothing it over with his tongue and moving to another place.
Eichi began arching his back trying to give the other more space to mark him up, grasping the black locks in an attempt to ground himself from all the nips and bites Rei was currently excitedly placing on his pale skin. After a while the sensations seemed to finally spur something else into the blond as he started to sway from side to side to soon after starting to grind back into his crotch.
Rei loved when Eichi got to this point, making the blond lose his composure, lose the façade put up to other's, was one of the most addicting sensations he ever felt and he took pride in being able to do it. He sucked one last mark on the pale skin and moved back to see his work, the blond's skin was covered in bruises small and big, thank god they didn't have a public appearance any time soon, so the only issue would be Keito's disapproving glares.
He glanced up to Eichi's face, the blond had tears forming at the edge of his eyes and looked absolutely gone he was still grasping Rei's hair like his life depended on it.
"Eichi, are you with me?" He knew the answer already but was always careful when the blond was the subject. He waited a bit and saw Eichi start to get back to himself thinking over the words Rei had just uttered and nodding in return "you are so perfect angel. But I'm not done with you yet think you can still go?" A way out, he always gave his lover a way to end things if he couldn't continue but it seems Eichi still had more to go and nodded again "Thank you my beautiful angel. Can you help me take off your pants?"
Again he nodded and lifted himself up in his thighs waiting for the next move. Rei then took off his pants in one movement taking his underwear along with it and pushing him into the mattress and moving between his legs, caressing them for a while before deciding it would probably be for the best if he took out his own clothes, catching the other staring intensely his way after taking off his shirt.
"See something you like?"
By the looks of it the blond didn't think his ogling had been that obvious and proceeded to hide behind his hands, groaning behind them telling the other to 'stay quiet'.
"Aww don't be like that sweetheart" he knew that was going to make Eichi even more annoyed and the glare he could see in the spaces between his fingers just proved it further.
He could only laugh at the action.
"I'm kidding~ Now try to stay quiet"
He didn't give the other any time to prepare and swallowed his dick in one quick movement, quirking his lips when the blond let out a loud moan at the unexpected action, immediately putting his hands back into the black locks as if they were his only anchor.
Rei continued his actions sometimes giving small licks to the head and when it looked like the blond was getting used to it the older started to circle his rim with lubed fingers, as if asking for permission, before it pushed past it.
Soon one finger became two, at which point the vampire stopped sucking his dick in favor of nipping his crotch area to focus on his fingers, prodding and moving trying to find his sweetspot.
It was obvious the moment he found it, Eichi gave out a strangled sound, clenching on his fingers and gripping his hair as if his life depended on it. Rei didn't let it stop him, continuing abusing his prostate with practiced movements, adding a third finger soon after.
When he felt the blond was close he withdrew the fingers, receiving a noise of disapproval, and lubed his dick, putting one of his legs up into his shoulder and positioning himself before pushing inside, sliding slowly inside the blond. When he was finally fully seated inside he didn't start moving straight away, instead giving Eichi time to get used to the intrusion, biting and sucking on the thigh that was perched on his shoulder.
When the other finally gave a nod of approval Rei started to move, slow at first but quickly picking up his pace, slamming into the blond and targeting his prostate with every thrust.
Kohaku wouldn't say he didn't know Hiiro, he was one of Aira's best friends and Rinne's younger brother, but they really never had a one on one conversation before, they always had someone from alkaloid or Crazy B around when they actually saw and had a chance to actually say a few words to eachother before going back to their routine of exchanging small gestures when they met on occasion.
That started to change when he first started attending school, the subjects were hard and way to difficult to understand on his own, he relayed his worries over to Aira who suggested Hiiro as a tutor, he could ask suou for help but he couldn't take the embarrassment from being coddled all day while trying to understand a subject he had trouble in so Hiiro was his best bet.
Their first few meetings were awkward, Kohaku didn't know how to act near Hiiro, Aira had warned him about the red haired outgoing loud personality, who at their first meeting had given him a tight hug, to which kohaku went as pink as his hair, and after seeing the other's reaction apologized before leading them to their study spot. After their third meeting the initial awkwardness had dissipated a lot from where it started, the younger idol felt comfortable enough to participate in small talks with the other or even receive some of the small touches Hiiro liked to give his friends.
Their meetings started not being confined to just study sessions after a while, with Kohaku being the one to break their usual routine asking if they could go to a new cafe that just opened as a thank you for helping him with his studies, to Hiiro asking if he wanted to go to an aquarium that just opened. After a while they would just go to eachother's dorms just to spend time together, it was really nice having someone else his own age, besides Aira, to spend his time with.
At first Kohaku didn't find it weird, he would do that with Aira if his roommates weren't on the verge of trying to kill eachother at every single second. That is until he was hanging out with the blond in a new cafe he heard had the best sweets in the neighborhood.
"Ah, I think I've been here with Hiiro-han once"
He remembers he was the one to ask Hiiro to come to the place with him as a thank you for helping him again with another exam. At the mention of the red head Aira dropped the menu he had been intensely looking and clasped his hands together.
"That's so lovely~ you two make such a cute couple" Aira sighed "Hiro must be a handful sometimes but go easy on him the way he shows his affections can be quite strong sometimes" he smiled in his direction and started to pick up the discarded menu, happily swaying side to side while choosing what to order.
What.
Kohaku started to turn bright head trying to wrap his head around Aira's words. Couple? As in romantically involved? They weren't like that!
"EH- wait wait wait, Ranbu-han where did ya take it Hiiro-han and I were a couple" he could feel himself turning even brighter when Aira rapidly put the menu down and stared at him disbelieving.
"I thought you two were together aren't you?" Kohaku shook his head "But you two are always together these days! You look so happy when Hiiro gives you something that reminded him of you! You two are at eachothers dorm all the time! You even asked me good spots to take him once!" Aira stared at him in disbelief and continued to list off all the things he considered "couple behavior" from them.
Did they really look that much as a couple, actually even if they did Kohaku didn't like the other that way. Right? They were just friends, he did like Hiiro's presence and being near him but it wasn't to that level, was it? He did let the older hug him or just do his physical affections undisturbed, almost no one had that privilege, and sometimes even reciprocated them, he loved their outings and always looked forward to the next one, every little trinket Hiiro got him was safely secured in a small box in his room, but that didn't mean he liked the other like that.
He looked back at Aira who was still going on his list about all the things he classified as couple behavior. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down or at least not have his face the same shade as the amagi's hair.
"I- ehm we aren't together we just got closer since he started tutoring me" kohaku averted his gaze from the blond "I don't really like him in that way either so it doesn't really matter" he felt his cheeks growing warmer at that.
Aira stopped his rant only to focus directly into the pink haired's face, Kohaku didn't like being scrutinized like that, specially from his best friend no less, but before he could actually say something about it the other spoke up.
"Kohakuchii... everytime Hiro as much as glances your way you turn all red" he stated as if it was a common known fact, like he hadn't just broken his entire view of his relationship with Hiiro up to this point. "They say love can be blind but this is to an extreme extent" Aira's face had morphed into one of exasperation as he gave a small sigh.
So much for trying to contain his embarrassment, he could feel his face growing hotter by the minute and tried to hide away behind his hands.
"You don't need to do anything about it you know... you can just stay the way you two are right now if you want" Aira called the waiter over and gave him their orders "But it would probably be easier on you if you did something about it"
Kohaku felt like a small child, his head was swarming with only one question, he tried to make himself even smaller before uttering it out.
"What if he doesn't like me back?" It was said in such a small voice he wondered if the other would even hear it.
"I've seen the way Hiro looks at you, he really likes you, he does things he never does to any of his friends or even his brother. I'm sure he likes you the same way you do" he reached foward and put his hands on top of the other's pulling them away from his face and gave him a small smile and leaned back on his seat. "I know you can do it, it will be hard to get it out but you will feel way happier later"
The waiter then chose the perfect time to bring their orders over, he sighed in relief, bringing the perfect break into the subject, to which Kohaku took with a stride bringing the blond's focus to their food of which he quickly latched onto, excitedly going into a tangent about taking the perfect picture to post.
That had been 2 weeks ago.
2 weeks since Aira decided to bring the biggest revelation to Kohaku's life, and only to his life since everyone around him seemed to have the same thoughts as the blond.
His first thought was asking for advice and Himeru was his safest option as he always looked after him and could keep a secret, specially from Rinne, to which he was met with the same confusion Aira had shown proceeded by basically the same talk the blond had given him. The same happened when he went to Madara and Jun. EVEN Hiyori was surprised when he barged into their dorm unannounced in the middle of his talk with Jun.
Was it really that obvious and only Kohaku was out of the loop?
He was tempted to ask for Niki's opinion but that would mean also getting Rinne's and he really didn't want to deal with the older amagi's reaction to it.
So that was how he found himself in front of Hiiro's dorm, they had hanged out from time to time since the 'revelation' but the younger decided to try and distance himself to gather his thoughts giving excuses to go away early or just to cancel one of their definitely not dates, having received a text asking if they could talk.
The moment the pink haired received the text he could feel a knot form in his gut and feel his heart rate pick up, typing a quick 'okay' and dropping his phone in the bed, he was glad Jun was doing whatever he did with Hiyori on their free time, and sprinting out of the room, following the path he had familiarized since they started hanging out on eachother's dorm.
He couldn't bring himself to knock on the door, his entire body felt like woobly and when he tried to bring his hand up to knock on the door it was trembling.
It felt like an eternity had passed before he heard the sound of the door being opened and a fluffy red hair appearing from behind. Hiiro's face immediately lightened up and a soft smile made it's way into his face.
"Kohaku!" He pulled the pink haired into a tight hug "I was going to look for you" he pulled back and grabbed his hand instead, Kohaku could feel his face getting warmer "Here come in" he opened the door and pulled the other in.
Kohaku had been inside the room a number of times, be it to hang out with Hiiro or just to look for Niki, but it still didn't make it any less scary. He tried looking around the room looking for something to put his attention into.
"Ah... you still have it"
It was a big pink cat plushie they had found in a festival Madara had recommended as a good spot to take Hiiro, which now that he thinks about it the place was swarming with couples and was probably a hot date spot, and after walking around some time Kohaku noticed the red head's attention to the plushie, 'do ya want it' he didn't wait for an answer and got close to the stall paying the owner for a shot at the game. It didn't take long for him to win the big prize, Madara's instance in teaching him the ways of the carnival games finally found themselves useful, and giving it to Hiiro, who hugged and thanked him for the gift.
"Umu of course! You gave it to me" he picked up the plushie and handed it to the younger "It reminded me a lot of you when I first saw it at the stand" he smiled in his direction again still holding the other's hand.
How did Hiiro always say things like that without getting embarrassed. Right change the topic again before he makes Kohaku go even redder, he dropped the plushie on the bed and cleared his throat.
"Ah... what did you want to talk about Hiiro-han?"
Hiiro beamed again and let go of his hand and walked over to his bed picking up a small box that was neatly placed on it.
"I was planning to give it to you later, but I just couldn't wait" he opened the box and inside was a small ring with a small red stone, the ring was clearly hand made. "I wanted to do it by myself but Nii-san insisted on helping" he scratched the back of his head "I asked Aira how courting worked in the city. It seems promise rings are quite common between couples, so I wanted to give you one..."
Kohaku felt tears start to pour out of his eyes, how could such a sweet and caring person even look into his direction and even go to the point of actually liking him.
"Kohaku" he felt Hiiro cradle his face "Are you okay?" The red head pulled him closer into an embrace, trying to calm the other down.
Kohaku could only nod and fall into the embrace feeling himself falling even more for the other.
"How can you actually like me..." He felt small, the same feeling from when Aira analyzed him in the cafe, hiccuping a few times between his words "I'm not the best person around... and you are always so... sweet and caring"
The older put his hands on his face again, angling it up so they would be looking face to face.
"You are one of the most precious person in my life, how could I not like you." He picked up the box again "If I could I would spend the rest of my life with you! The city doesn't allow for it, but I hope you at least accept this ring as a promise for the future"
The tears started up again. He didn't trust his voice to give an actual answer, so all he could give was a small smile and a nod offering his hand to the red head.
The ring fit perfectly into his fingers, the small red stone shone into the light of the room. Kohaku could only feel himself smile even wider and let a few more tears roll into his face.
"I love you so much"
Being called for photoshoots was normal, Fine has been to plenty of photoshoots, so Eichi didn't actually put more attention then necessary to it, the unit had already worked with this brand many times and no problems had occurred so this time would be the same he thought.
That was until he entered his dorm a few days later to Aira looking intensely at his phone looking quite pleased with himself. At first Eichi tried his usual greeting only to be met by deaf ears, it seemed like whatever had gotten his junior's attention had been quite interesting so he tried getting closer to see it.
"Shiratori-kun what got you so focused on today hmm?" Aira being so focused on his phone that he forgot about his surroundings was quite normal sight at their dorm "Is it about those new idols you were talkin-" Before he could actually get a good look at the younger's phone he shut it off and turned harshly towards him.
"Eeeek- Tenshouin-senpai?!" Aira shrieked and immediately shut off his screen, he tried composing himself a little before speaking again "I didn't see you enter the dorm! Did you want to talk to me?" He was still a little red in the face but looked more composed than when Eichi first took him out of his hyper focus.
"Ah not really~ I just saw you looking really intensely at your phone and wondered what caught your attention like that" He finished and sat on the younger's bed moving closer to him waiting patiently for an answer.
He hadn't meant anything special by it was normal for Aira to hyper focus on something he liked, specially if that something was idols, Eichi liked to think their relationship evolved a lot since they first started living together as his junior didn't start stuttering or combust everytime he so much as accidentally brushed hands with him during mornings. So it was quite weird when Aira turned red and tried to avert eye contact with him, had he asked something weird? Eichi thought they were long past those days.
" Ah! No not really something big... No wait it's kinda big... its uhm the photoshoot your unit did last month the photos are out" Aira started playing with his hands still blushing but no as much as before and still averting his gaze " You were wearing a corset this time- Not that it looked weird on you it looked really good! But you never wore those kinds of clothes before so I was surprised! Fine looked so love~ly in the photos I was thinking of ordering some polaroids of if online but they were all sold out! The pictures only got released 5 hours ago but I was still during class..." Aira seemed to notice he went off topic and gave the older a little smile "It's just that I never wore one before and you looked so pretty with it~"
Maybe he could try to get some exclusive polaroids for his dear junior Aira already had a big collection but one more couldn't hurt specifically when he looked like he someone told him they lost their dog. Eichi then remembered he still had the same corset from the photoshoot.
"I still have the corset if you want to give it a try Shiratori-kun. Though it probably won't fit on you since im much taller~" the blond stopped to think about what to say next only to be interrupted by Rei entering the dorm room.
"This is quite the unusual sight~ good afternoon Shiratori-kun" He got closer to where both were seated and gave a kiss to the top of Eichi's head before speaking up again " By the way both of you act and look you could be considered brother's~" he gave a little chuckle " What have you two been talking about behind my back hmmm?"
"Nothing for you to worry about dear sakuma-san" While saying it he interlaced his fingers with Rei's "Shiratori-kun was just interested in Fine's latest photoshoot." The blond finished and turned to look at where the other was, there was a glint of interest on his eyes.
"Ah I do recall you telling me about a photoshoot... I believe undead already collaborated with them once. How did the photos turn out?" He questioned while starting to sit at the edge of the younger's bed.
Eichi opened his mouth to answer but it seemed Aira's excitement came back in full force "They are so lovely~ Specially Tenshouin-senpai's solo ones they captured his looks so well~ Here I was looking at them before" He went after his phone which was hastily turned off and thrown earlier and unlocked it shoving it into the vampire's face "See? Aren't they just so lovely~ I never saw Tenshouin-senpai using a corset before so I was quite surprised when I first opened them up but as always it looks so pretty on him~"
Rei waited until Aira stopped his analisys on the photos and took the phone that was shoved on his face.
"It really does look quite nicely on him it fits the whole theme they were going for" The black haired man spoke up after looking at the pictures more carefully. "The photographer for this magazine is quite talented and managed to get his good side... although it's quite easy to get good pictures of the great Tenshouin-sama" Rei finished with a wink in Eichi's direction who started gaining some color on the cheeks and coughed as a way to distract Aira from the tangent they were heading.
"Ehem... while my photos did turn out quite well you should also praise the other's pictures as well, our cute little Tori worked quite hard to make sure the corset looked pretty on him~" He hoped Aira would take the bait and move on from the focus on his outfit.
"Himemiya was also so lovely~ he looked so cute in them, let me grab the rest of the pictures~" Aira took his phone away from Rei's grasp and started typing away.
Crisis averted or at least that was what Eichi thought, but looking to where his boyfriend sat he was met with the vampire looking intensely at him almost like he was picking him apart and analyzing it. The blond felt a shiver on his spine at the sight, Rei looked like a predator watching his prey waiting for the right time to attack, he couldn't tear his eyes away from the other almost like lost in a trance waiting for his next move. He only got out of his trance when Aira shrieked and jumped up suddenly.
"Ah look at the time! Alkaloid has a practice session right now." The younger started panicking around the room looking for his practice clothes "I'm sorry I really need to go or I will be even more late but I promise I will show you the photos later Sakuma-senpai~" Rei only gave him a little smile waving his hand in a manner that showed Aira it was fine and he should go before it gets even later.
With that Aira gave a last goodbye and ran out of the dorm leaving both of his dorm mates alone.
"Kukuku Shiratori-kun is quite lively when he talks about idols isn't he? He reminds me of how little Ritsu looked at me when we were younger." Rei didn't wait for an answer and continued "But let's stray away from that topic shall we? Even as much as I adoro our dear junior we have a more important topic at hand..." He then turned his gaze back at Eichi, the same calculated one he showed before.
"Aha... and what would that be exactly dear?" He tried to avert his eyes but Rei put his finger under his jaw forcing him to look at him.
"Hmmm... while I do like our usual games of beating around the bush I want to get straight to the point. You were quite the sight in those photos... might I say even delectable~" He put his face nearer still maintaining eye contact "I do hope you will go with my little request. Really it's quite a simple one I just want to see you with that corset~ would you go along this little whim of mine?"
Eichi closed his eyes waiting for Rei to kiss him only for it not to happen. The confusion seemed to show on his face as he could hear an airy chuckle before he opened his eyes.
"Kukuku you know the saying Tenshouin-kun the kiss seals the deal~ So how about it hmmm?"
The blond could feel his hands start to sweat again he could feel the predatory gaze that was put upon him. Rei was always considerate even in this situation he was giving Eichi a way out say the word and the situation would be over it was quite cute how even when he wanted something he never took it by force.
Eichi then surged forward crashing their lips together taking Rei by surprise. It didn't last long however it was just as the other said 'a kiss to seal the deal'. The blond used this levarage in the situation to compose himself.
"Hopefully that was a clear enough answer to you Rei~" Eichi said with a purr.
He could see Rei let out a shiver but quickly compose himself.
"It was don't worry." He said with a slight smile before switching up to a more serious expression "Now then... I believe our deal involved a specific piece of clothing."
He got up and walked to Eichi's wardrobe and stood next to it, waiting for the blonde's next move looking intensely in his direction.
"Kukuku aren't you coming dear? We have an agreement afterall."
Eichi quickly shot up from Aira's bed almost in a trance immediately walking to where Rei was, avoiding eye contact the entire way, before stopping right next to him and looking directly into his eyes as if asking what he should do next. Rei only let out a chuckle before gesturing to the wardrobe "Go on now."
Eichi tore his gaze from the other and focused on the wardrobe, opening it he analyzed all his clothes, spotting the corset immediately among all the others, he picks it up and looks at it intensely for a while, the corset was quite simple, white with some blue and green details, since it wasn't the piece supposed to the spotlight, but looking at it now with the added context made Eichi feel his ears start to burn. He forced his attention away from the corset and shoved the piece of fabric on Rei's chest, still trying to avoid eye contact with the older.
"It's the same one from that day, they gave me as a gift..." Eichi said with a pause trying to gather courage "...I just don't know how to put it on my own yet so we might have a problem"
They didn't teach him how to tie the corset on his own, the stylists were the one's doing that part of the work. But he felt a sudden wave of disappointment creeping up, was their game going to end so soon? Even if Eichi felt quite embarrassed on the whole situation he wasn't against it, quite the contrary, Rei almost never asked something from the blond it was usually the other way around, so having the other actually show, or even more rarely say, what he wanted was quite the surprise, one Eichi would do his best to provide.
"Yuzuru would probably know how to tie one we can perhaps ask-" he was cut off by Rei's hand coming to his mouth.
"Kukuku there is no need to involve the butler on our deal. As our luck goes my family is quite knowledgeable on tying corsets" Rei took his hand away from Eichi's face, instead grabbing his wrist and leading him towards their bedroom again stopping close to Eichi's bed. He took the corset and opened it and waited for the blonde's approval before closing it on his waist, when he saw the small nod from Eichi he finally put it on his waist closing it and preparing to start lacing it "...Speak up if I tighten it too much" his expression softened as he said it, giving a quick kiss to his cheek when Eichi gave another nod as an answer and started the process.
Rei wasn't lying when he said his family was used to tying corsets, he worked fast and efficiently on the piece almost as if it was something he did everyday. Eichi could only feel himself blush even more, of course Rei would know how to tie a corset his whole family walked around as if they were still living in the 1800s, both Rei and Ritsu were probably the only one's that actually dressed like they lived in this century, even if they did act like they were way older than they actually were.
He got taken out of his thoughts by Rei speaking up, he finished tying it faster than he thought.
"It looked good on you in the picture's, but seeing it in person is definitely something else" He stepped back to watch Eichi from a different angle letting out a satisfied noise after a while "Definitely way better than the pictures, you captivated me just from a screen but seeing it in front of me... It gives me some ideas" he said and looked directly into the younger's direction the same intense gaze as before, Eichi felt himself tense up again. Rei then walked back into Eichi's space and put his hands on his hips "Hmm... definitely more than just some ideas" as he said that he pressed their lips together, the blond was caught of guard by the sudden attack but quickly reciprocated the kiss.
Eichi could feel Rei's hands start to move around his waist sometimes applying pressure to his touches or just touching the place. After a while Eichi had to separate from a lack of air and Rei took the opportunity to start mouthing at his neck, giving little nips with his fangs where he knew the blond had a weak spot at, to which Eichi gracefully presented more of his neck for the other and putting his hands on the black locks, sometimes gripping it more tightly when Rei bit at specific spots.

When Eichi woke up all he could feel was soreness all over his body, being sweaty and probably an incoming headache. He remembers being in a practice room rented for the night, Fine had a upcoming live and Eichi was burdened with more work than he liked and practicing at night when everyone was already at sleep was the only way he could make up for not showing up on the usual practice routine of the other unit members, and after that he thinks me might have passed out or maybe was just too tired to have a memory of where he went after being done. He tried to get up to see where exactly his body had taken him only to be met with something keeping him in place, Eichi tried once more to get up and this time was met with a huff and for someone to pull him even closer.
"Keep quiet it's still early you can sleep a little more" The person keeping him trapped shot at him.
Eichi recognized the voice even with his morning drowsiness.
"Sakuma-kun might I get an answer as to why exactly I'm in your bed? Also let me up you are smothering me in your chest" Eichi said while squirming to get away from where Rei had trapped him in his chest.
"Hmmmm~ No can do you will probably try and go back to work and you look as if any small breeze would take you out"
Again Rei trapped him even further into his arms but this time let Eichi pop his head out of the other's chest.
"Rei I need to get up I have a lot of work to do and Fine has a big live in some days. I don't have the time to be idle or stay in" He said lifting his head to look directly into the supposed vampire's eye's only to be met with puffy eyes.
"Wha- why were you crying? Did something happen?"
Eichi lifted his hands to Rei's face and began tracing patterns on it with a concerned expression, the black haired male then nuzzled his hand and pressed a kiss to it.
"Do you know how scared I was yesterday? You showing up late at the dorms is normal to some extent, but you just didn't enter the door at all. I tried messaging you but you never answered me, then I went to where you usually work when you don't want to bother us in the dorm with your laptop but you weren't there-"
Rei got interrupted by Eichi suddenly hugging him and going back to where he was when he first woke up.
"Im sorry I didn't mean to worry you, but I really need to-"
This time Rei was the one to interrupt.
"Eichi you need to take a break that's what you need, what would have happened if you hadn't told Shiratori-kun that you were going to practice late at night, you didn't even message your unit about it, what if you were still passed out on that room floor to this hour? Your health is not something you can just play with, I know you usually want everything to go perfect even going as far as to put your health at risk for it, but you have to understand that seeing you pale and on the verge of passing out or passed out for that matter is not something I or anyone close to you likes to see."
Rei could probably continue his lecture even more if it wasn't for the fact he again was starting to cry, leave it to Eichi to make him cry first thing in the morning, so he decided only to stop and try to recompose himself. At least his lecture seems to have had an effect on Eichi, if him being so quiet was anything to go by, Rei started playing with the blond strands of his boyfriend's hair, humming some songs and trying to gather his thoughts.
"I just want you to take better care of yourself, everytime I get a message saying you got admitted to the hospital my mind always goes to the worst reason possible, seeing you with all those machines hooked up and beeping noises it scares me everytime"
The black haired man finished and looked down only to see the mess of blond hair looking back at him with a small smile.
"I usually didn't have people actually care about me, actually care, everyone around me always cared only on a surface level, specially my parents they didn't really care what happened to me as long as I could continue with the family bussiness or didn't dirty the family name, it's weird having other's care about me. I was always told not to show my weak side since it could be used against me." Eichi paused to hug Rei again.
"But it's nice having you care so much about me even after all I've done to you and those you hold dear. It's a good feeling having someone I hold so dear to me care about me"
Rei didn't know what to say, Eichi never opened up about his feelings without jokes along it or just opening up in general he always kept his emotions behind a mask. The black haired male could only hug the blond and press little kisses to the top of his head, the blond was finally showing him his 'weak' side that was usually hidden.
"I will never stop caring about you, even when you pull little stunts like last night." Rei put him hand under Eichi's chin and angled the other's head up so they were on looking at eachother again.
"I love you Eichi, don't forget that you are someone I hold dear to me and hate seeing you put your health on such a low priority"
Rei could see the moment the blond understood what was said, he started becoming red and hid his head on the vampire's chest and clutched his shirt. Rei could only give a small laugh at his reaction and started running his fingers thought the other's hair again, Eichi didn't need to say it back now, opening up as much as he did on such a small amount of time was probably hard enough for just a day.
They stayed like that for a while Rei playing with the soft blond hair, kissing it sometimes, he thought Eichi might have went back to sleep the blond hadn't said anything or done any big movement for a while his breathing also was quiet, but out of nowhere Rei could make out a murmur on his chest.
"Sorry I can't exactly hear your murmuring dear you have to speak up" The older tried to tease the other.
Eichi then lifted his head up again, still quite flushed from Rei's earlier confession, and spoke up.
"I said I love you too"
"Might I remind you that I have a live soon and need to get up"
For that Rei received no verbal answer, only a huff and for the hug to get even tighter. He doesn't know how much time passed since being ambushed by the younger male, he distinctly remembers that it wasn't that dark outside, and it's not like he could check the time on his phone since Eichi seemed to tighten his hold if Rei did any kind of sudden movement.
Really, Eichi could get really cute when he wanted, but now Rei really needed to get up or risk missing the live.
"Tenshouin-kun... it's my last live this week, after that we can cuddle all you want, but I really need to get up now"
This time he managed to get a response out of the blond, albeit not one that was going to help the situation at all. Eichi slowly lifted his head, a pout on his face, and glared in his boyfriend's direction.
"Might I remind you dear Sakuma-san that you promised to go with me to that coffee shop Shiratori-kun so kindly gave us coupons to, only to send me a message saying you had an emergency live come up. Really it was a miracle Wataru was free this afternoon or your situation would be even worse"
With that the blond lowered his head and cuddled even closer, going as far as snaking his legs between Rei's so that he lost another way to escape, the black haired male remembers having to bail out of their date earlier that week, the only response being in the form of a message 'fine' it said and Eichi didn't answer or see any of his messages for the rest of the day. It was a miracle Wataru was available and was up for a last minute hang out with the blond, but he really did save Rei's life, he should set a reminder to thank wataru later.
The older got taken out of his thoughts when his boyfriend tightened his hold even more and nuzzled even closer to his chest. In reality making Eichi move was quite easy, between both Rei was the stronger one, but it would make the blond even angrier which could mean having to be on high alert the entire week, the last time he forgot kissing the younger before going way he woke up with a bear trap on the side of his bed that only missed thanks to Shiratori-kun's sudden yell to be careful.
He should get to a way out of this fast, since by the looks of his phone's vibrating non-stop for the last couple of minutes, Rei was probably going to be late or, even worse, not showing up at all.
The older decided that maybe bargaining was his best bet, he moved his hand and started playing with the other's hair before speaking up.
"Eichi I really need to go but... how about this, we can go to that new amusement park Shiratori-kun has been talking nonstop about, the one ryuseitai did their live in last week. We can stay there the whole day and go into those rides you like so much." Rei said and followed it with a small smile.
That seemed like it got the blonde's attention, if the little twitch he did was something to go by. Eichi was quite childish at times and Rei knew how to use it to his advantage when needed, so he continued speaking and petting the younger's hair.
"After that we can go to a nice dinner, Shu recommended me a nice one he went to last time he was here, and then we can cuddle all you want."
Finally, a spark of a way out, Eichi lifted his head up and looked at him suspiciously, trying to find a catch on his words of a lie on his face. After a couple of seconds the blond seemed satisfied with Rei's proposal and lifted his hold on him and rolled to the side to the mess of blankets they had made when Eichi ambushed him in their dorm entryway, the blond pushed the soft material to the side saying 'it's too hot to stay with all these blanked on Sakuma-san' and started his cuddle attack on Rei.
Really, Eichi was way too cute for his heart to manage sometimes. The older male looked to where the other had gone to after letting him free from his grasp, only to find the younger looking directly at him with an even bigger pout.
"Just so you know you were the one that suggested it so you better not bail out again, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you after all Sakuma-senpai" he said with a cold glare.
Eichi then tried to go back to his blanket cocoon but was stopped by Rei who gave him a quick kiss in his head.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world my dear Eichi~"
They rarely used each others given names, most of the time they were used was during their arguments, and every time the older said the blond's given name without the usual leer or sarcastic comment Eichi would get red as Rei's favorite tomato juice, the forehead kiss sealed the deal through it made the younger turn bright red and turn away from him.
Rei then remembered his phone vibrating without letting up and looked at the time, the live was supposed to start in 5 minutes, he could make it if he ran perhaps but before that he opened the UNDEAD hold hands chat and, besides seeing more than hundreds of texts of where he was, there was a new message saying the live would have a little delay thanks to sound issues.
Rei quickly shot a text to the chat saying he got held up with family issues but that he was going to the live venue as fast as possible.
The black haired male then looked over to where Eichi was huddled, the blond managed to hide himself even more into the blanket pile, Rei could only see his hair peaking out of it. The older could only huff a small laughter at the sight.
Rei finished getting ready and prepared to go to the where the live was taking place, but before he got out of the door he remembered forgetting something important and started going straight into Eichi's blanket pile and then spoke up.
"Tenshouin-kun I need you to look at me" he said with a soft voice.
The blond took a while to get out of his soft pile of blankets but decided to entertain the older and poked his head out.
"Didn't you have a live to go to Rei? Really I was-" he got cut off with a soft press of lips on his, Rei kept the kiss short it was only supposed to be a goodbye kiss after all.
"Almost forgot your goodbye kiss" Rei said quietly with a smile on his face and gave Eichi another small kiss before finally walking to the door again. Looking back he could see his boyfriend again going red, still on the same position Rei left him in.
"Tenshouin-kun I will be back later, don't wait up"
With that the older closed the door, he still had a live to do after all.
