"I don't deserve a bed frame" style

Hey anon, it has been... a rough night and day. I think this is just the ticket. 💟

14. Happy Kiss 

Majima groaned as he came awake. Everything hurt, but there was a particular throbbing that said “broken bone” coming from his side that hurt the worst. He distantly remembered that ugly crack yesterday as he threw off seven men at once. He’d ignored it and kept on pushing, anything for Kiryu-chan... 

“You’re awake,” Kiryu murmured. 

Majima’s eye shot open. “Kiryu-chan!” he squealed, blinking rapidly in the dim light and trying to sit up in bed, but wincing terribly. 

“Easy, easy!” Kiryu insisted, cradling his shoulder, “You don’t have to get up. You’re home, you’re safe.” 

Majima looked around and realized it was his own apartment, he was in his own bed, and Kiryu was sitting at his bedside, having pulled over his one good chair from the living room. He slowly let Kiryu push him back into bed and squinted at him suspiciously, taking in his quiet, stoic face. 

“Wha’cha doin here, Kiryu-chan? Hovering over my bedside...” He squinted harder at him, then felt his face, realizing he wasn’t wearing his eyepatch. “My...” he gasped, covering his missing eye quickly.  

“They took it off to wash your face,” Kiryu supplied, reaching over Majima to the bedside table and picking it up for him, “I just left it off. I figured...” He caught sight of Majima staring at him, slack-jawed, and Kiryu blushed, looking away. 

Majima took the eyepatch trailing from Kiryu’s fingers, but didn’t move to put it on. Kiryu was... playing nurse to him. Majima swallowed hard. “It gets itchy when I don’t air it out every once in awhile,” he mumbled gruffly, “Many thanks.” 

Kiryu nodded curtly, still looking away. 

“So, how’d I get here anyway?” Majima frowned. “The last thing I remember was laying in the arms of that cute girl of yours, what’s her name...” 

“Sayama,” Kiryu supplied, turning back to him. 

“Right,” Majima nodded, remembering her stern, but concerned face and soft hands. He rubbed his goatee. “Got yourself a real looker there, Kiryu-chan.” 

Kiryu shrugged, muttering, “If you say so.” 

“Think she’d go for a grizzly, scarred, old dog like me?” he asked, grinning up at Kiryu. 

Kiryu frowned heavily and looked away, not answering. 

Majima’s eyebrows rose. “Only kidding!” He waved his hands. “I wasn’t trying to move in on your girl, just a little ego trip.” He tried to smile reassuringly, through all the wounds and cracks on his face. 

“She isn’t my…” Kiryu explained quickly, then groaned, “Nevermind.”

Majima raised an eyebrow, taking in Kiryu’s glare at the ground and his fingers resting just a little too tightly on his knee. Something was eating him but he’d probably ought to leave it alone for now. Majima cleared his throat. “So, anyway, as I was saying… then I was out and I don’t remember a thing until I woke up here with Kiryu-chan tending me.” He tried smiling again up at Kiryu who was staring at the covers now. “How’d ya even get in?” He cocked his head. 

Kiryu squirmed and mumbled. “I called Nishida-san for a spare key.” 

“Ah, that checks.” Majima nodded. “Though, woulda been a nice memento if ya’d broke down the door.” He grinned wide, not caring that his cheek was still swollen and his lips were still cut. 

Even Kiryu smiled a little. “I can break it down when I leave, if you want?” he offered. 

Majima’s eye widened, brightening at that reply, and he giggled. “Ah, Kiryu-chan, ya know just the things to say to make me feel better.” He smiled beneficently up at Kiryu, watching him fidget, trying to hide how pleased he clearly felt too. Not for the first time Majima wondered how to make a smile stick on that stony, impassive face. Then a thought niggled at the back of his brain. 

“Hold on, if ya called Nishida ta let you in, did ya…?” His eye widened and he stared up at Kiryu. Kiryu turned pink, turning his whole body in the chair. 

Majima cursed himself blue inwardly. Of all the times to be fucking unconscious, his traitor body couldn’t even be bothered to wake him up when Kiryu was carrying him to bed! Oh, couldn’t he have woken up for just a second to experience being nestled in those strong arms, to nuzzle closer for a second, maybe feel that strong, warm heart under his cheek… Majima fidgeted in his covers and began to turn pink too, realizing Kiryu had not only deposited him in bed but tucked him in as well. Oh Christ… 

“Well, since you’re awake, I’d probably better be-” Kiryu grumbled suddenly, starting to stand. 

“Wait!” Majima yelped, grabbing his hand. Kiryu stopped. “I… I haven’t thanked ya, I should...” Majima muttered dumbly. 

Kiryu looked back and sat back down slowly. “You don’t need to thank me,” he shook his head, “I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I just wanted to repay you for-” 

Majima waved him off with his free hand. “Forget that, I owed ya one.” 

Kiryu frowned, blinking at him, and pressed a little closer. “That was more than anyone could have asked. I shouldn’t have let you do it alone.” He bit his lip and squeezed Majima’s hand. 

Majima gulped, feeling his throat suddenly go dry. He squeezed back, tightening his fingers as hard as they would go around Kiryu’s hand. “I would’ve done anything for ya,” he whispered at the same time Kiryu murmured, “I should have been with you.” 

They looked at each other for a painful second, something too deep and too unknowable passing between them and Majima worried that, when this moment ended, his heart would break clear in two. But then Kiryu was leaning over him, leaning down, and without thinking, reflexively, Majima tilted his head up and their lips brushed. It was an electric shock that startled them both for a gasp, then Majima couldn’t take it and he grabbed for Kiryu’s lips, lifting his hands and pressing him closer, cupping his face closer. Kiryu made a sound somewhere between a whine and a groan and gave into him, kissing him fiercely, more fiercely than Majima should really allow, but he couldn’t care. Kiryu was heavy and crushing on top of him, but he couldn’t care. Broken bones be damned, he wanted this. 

Breathlessly, Kiryu broke from him. “God, I… oh, you’re still hurt, I shouldn’t be-” His voice sounded wrecked. 

Majima clung to him, pulling him tighter. “Don’t fucking care, I’ve waited too long for this,” he groaned, almost growling, “If you go, this might all turn out to be a delusion I’ve invented.” 

Kiryu chuckled, rough and warm against his skin and Majima shivered with the reality of it. “What if I promise to still be here when you wake up again, will that do?” he murmured in Majima’s ear, already moving back into his chair. 

Majima whimpered, but let him go, retaining one hand tightly squeezed. He pouted at Kiryu, watching him settle back. “Ya just like watching me sleep,” he whined. 

Kiryu smiled bashfully and Majima’s eye bugged out. “You are sort of adorable when you’re still and peaceful like that,” he mumbled, glancing at Majima and leaning over him one last time to peck his cheek. 

Majima felt his cheeks heat and he squirmed down into the covers, mumbling, “Who are ya and what did ya do with Kiryu-chan?” 

Kiryu snorted and rolled his eyes. “You can fight me when you’re healed and then we’ll see if you still doubt me.” He smirked. 

A lot of people will just use the story’s name as the tags. For example, #story: [insert name] and #[insert name]. You can also use the themes. #love, #romance, #angst, #drama, #characternames, etc. 

Boss makes a dollar I make a dime that’s why I sort scum villain characters into secondary genders on company time

Liu Qingge - omega. Most people assume he’s an alpha because of his. Everything. But he also hates that assumption because it’s usually caused by the belief that omegas are all weak. It’s his personal goal to change those assumptions with his fists alone

Shen Qingqiu (Jiu) - alpha. He had to hide his presentation on the streets and in the Qiu household because he couldn’t stand out. He despises being an Alpha because he sees them all as uncontrollable and violent.

Shen Qingqiu (Yuan) - alpha when he transmigrates since it’s still Shen Jiu’s body. He’s an omega as plantzun and bitches himself after marrying Binghe because obviously two alphas can’t be together. (Binghe also wanted to bitch himself lol)

Luo Binghe - alpha. The protagonist of a harem novel has to be an alpha. Bingge is the stereotypical alpha with Bingmei enjoying experimenting with dynamics

Yue Qingyuan - alpha physically but after the Ling Xi caves he’s only functionally a beta. He’s kind of lost when it comes to scenting or biting and he feels like he doesn’t deserve to claim someone like an alpha does

Mu Qingfang - beta. It makes him good for working with both alphas and omegas

Qi Qingqi - omega. Xian Shu is more of an ‘all omegas’ peak than an all female peak. Same thing with Ku Xing being an alpha peak

Wei Qingwei - alpha because I feel like it. He’s a very chill one you probably wouldn’t notice unless you took a whiff

Shang Qinghua - alpha. For the pure comedy of him thinking ‘my king is so strong and intimidating he would never let me knot him’ while Mobei Jun is wet and two brain functions away from pouncing on him

Mobei Jun - omega. I like to think the demons see being an omega as the dominant gender because they have to be strong to carry children. He’s proud of being a powerful omega and doesn’t realize why Shang Qinghua won’t acknowledge that

Tianlang Jun - omega.

Su Xiyan - alpha. Making Binghe was a freak accident.

Who would fall for a MLM scheme?

Yue Qingyuan - unwilling. 0/10. What the fuck did you do to your body. Somehow has never received a medical checkup. The second Mu Qingfang gets his hands on the sect leader he’s going to have a stroke

Shen Qingqiu (Jiu) - unwilling. 0/10. Bites. What the fuck did you do to your body 2.0

Shen Qingqiu (Yuan) - reluctant. 5/10. Technically most of his injuries are not his fault but he really needs to stop putting himself in situations that could kill or cripple him. Good test subject if you can avoid the murderous demon boyfriend

Shang Qinghua - willing. 6/10. Pleasant enough during treatment but is weirdly shifty and keeps showing up with broken bones and injuries a guy whose main job is paperwork really shouldn’t have. Also keeps stealing antidote plants from the Qian Cao gardens when he thinks no one is looking.

Liu Qingge - unwilling. -10/10. Only shows up for treatment if he’s actively dying. Trying to catch him for yearly checkups is a sect wide affair that ends up filling the rest of Qian Cao’s facilities with injuries

Mu Qingfang - the one doing the checkups. Willing. Exhausted. 10/10

Wei Qingwei - willing. 8/10. Comes in with a lot of sword injuries, burns, and smashed hands, but that’s part of the craft. Only mildly annoying to heal and pleasant enough to talk to
