Kurashi raised his eyebrow, snickering at his husband’s attempt to outsmart him and raised his hands in mock-surrender.

“Silly. It’s not a skill that appeared all on its own, you know. It’s you rubbing off on me.” 

Kurashi chuckled, smiling at the warm feeling of having his husband’s hand wrapped around his own. The nights grew colder lately; but even so, he will gladly risk cold hands if it meant them being able to hold them during their walks. 

“...oh.”

Kurashi closed his eyes and turned his face away again, to hide his embarrassment. He recalled now, all the times Masaomi made all the subtle - and quite straightforward, too - hints, propositions even... looking back at them, it all really was quite obvious.

“...I didn’t.” 

Kurashi sighed, though the sweet kiss left a pleasant tingling on his lips that seemed to make it impossible not to smile.

Kurashi blushed deeply when he heard these words. 

It wasn’t like him blushing right now made much difference to the color of his skin at the moment, since he was blushing beat red ever since Masaomi confessed to him earlier that evening. 

Well... Confessed might not have been the right word, but it conveyed the meaning of what had happened, at least.

Right now, they were both sitting on the bridge in one of their favourite parks. Their legs dangled over water, and their chests leaned comfortably against the railing. Without the need to retain eye contact, they could talk comfortably, even about such topics; and Kurashi could get a full view of Masaomi’s beautiful features, illuminated by the moonlight.

His best friend, Masaomi Kida. For a long time, his rather innocent crush, too, since Kurashi found himself thinking on Masaomi’s attractiveness long before things got awry with Ichirou once more until finally they broke up earlier that day, definitely this time. 

“...I suppose.” he whispered in a small voice, turning his head a bit so that he could go back to watching the moonlit river shimmering under their feet. “...not sure how would I react if you did it back then, though, without saying anything. But, if you want to make up for it...” Kurashi hesitated, and with strange feeling that this is the most natural thing he could be doing at the given moment, he let his body slowly lean to the side, and rest on Masaomi’s shoulder. 

Shizuo blinked a few times as he looked at Masaomi, tilting his head as if he wanted to ask if what he had just heard was real.

They were in a somewhat strange, half-sitting and half-laying position on the couch, tangled together so that they could both cuddle and do their own thing. Shizuo was reading a book; Masaomi was laying more or less on him, with his head comfortably set on the blond’s chest and his phone in his hand, looking through some messages or apps or whatnot.

“...is that why you’ve been annoyed whole day?” he asked finally, a soft blush blooming on his cheeks and a gentle smile stretching his lips. Carefully not to move their position too much, Shizuo put his book away on the coffee table and wrapped his arms loosely around Masaomi, pulling him up until he could comfortably kiss the blond’s forehead - an action that still, despite them going out for some time now, made him blush even more and let out something that, if it didn’t come from Shizuo Heiwajima, would be an embarrassed giggle.

      There were quite a few things connected with him being a crown Prince Laurent disliked or found annoying and one of them was him being given pleasure slaves as a gift. He never had any good use for them and never used them the way they were supposed to be used anyway and most of them were nothing but burdens if they didn’t possess a skill he actually found interesting. Something like that, however, rarely happened. 

      Moreover, the slave he was supposed to receive that day was sent from Akielos—a land where his dear brother was killed and ever since then was hated by him. Not to mention he considered residents of Akielos nothing but savage barbarians and was sure the slave brought to him was no different. Well, if he caused any troubles for him, he could always have him brought to the cross.

Something Hibiya likes about Masaomi: How positive and upbeat he is, at least around Hibiya. He really needs that in his life so it’s nice to have it from Masaomi of all people.
