LETāS TRICK OR TREAT FRIENDS!!!!
Yuuki rolled the stem of the leaf in his hand idly, slowly spinning it back and forth in the cool air. Ā He was determined. Ā He was going to do it this time. Ā He spun the leaf a little faster a few times before stopping suddenly and dropping it to the ground. Ā There was no use in continuing to dawdle around. Ā Heād just wind up talking himself out of it yet again.
He took a deep breath of the crisp air and nodded to himself. Ā The dry leaves and gravel crunched and crackled under his shoes as he made his way down the path. Ā Little pumpkins stood atop each fence post he passed and before he could convince himself this was a bad idea he had passed all twenty-seven of them and was standing in front of the dark red door once again. Ā He tugged the sleeves of his sweater down over his fingers and stared at the door wondering what was going on behind it, what the house smelled like, if there was still that cracked glass with the four leaf clover etched onto it that he left here.
Just as he raised his hand to knock the door was yanked open and he backpedaled out of the way.
Sugawara tilted his head and gave him a sort of all knowing look that Yuuki remembered seeing on Yakuās face a lot back in high school then he leaned back inside the door and yelled something Yuuki couldnāt quite catch. Ā He was so wrapped up in memories when Asahiās voice rang out that he didnāt even listen to the words.
āCome find out for yourself,ā Sugawara yelled over his shoulder. Ā āIām gonna be late if I donāt go now.ā Ā He patted Yuuki on the shoulder as he walked past him. Ā āDonāt look so worried. Ā Heāll be happy to see you.ā
He hadnāt been worried about that at all. Ā He knew Asahi would be happy to see him. Ā It had been months since they had seen each other in person. Ā He was more worried about the question he needed to ask Asahi and what Asahi would answer.
āThe least he could do is shut the door,ā Asahi muttered, shaking his head as he stepped out of the house. Ā Then he gasped softly when he spotted Yuuki and hurried over to give him a crushing hug.
āMissed you,ā Yuuki said.
āMissed you too,ā Asahi replied. Ā āIād miss you less if youād just move in with me already. Ā I mean this is always your first stop when you get back as it is.ā Ā Yuuki grinned at him. Ā It was a playful argument theyād had hundreds of times and the fact that it was the first thing Asahi said to him made most of his worries about his question slip away.
āAbout that,ā Yuuki said. Ā He rocked back on his heels and took a moment to look at Asahi. Ā The way his sweater pulled across his shoulders. Ā The way his hair was falling out of his tiny bun. Ā The way he looked framed in the soft warm light coming from the door he forgot to shut when he spotted Yuuki. Ā āI know youāre not big on the whole getting tangled up in paperwork and legal stuff like that. Ā But-ā he pulled out a little box from his pocket and pressed it into Asahiās hand ā- would you be willing to do the rest of it? Ā Wear my ring and be mine and let me move in with you?ā
Asahiās eyes lit up and he tackled Yuuki to the ground, rolling them both through the dry leaves. Ā He peppered Yuukiās face with kisses until they were both laughing so hard they were nearly crying.
āIām more than willing,ā Asahi finally said. Ā He opened the box and smiled as he slipped on the ring.
Later when they were inside sipping at hot cocoa, Asahi staring at the ring on his finger and then smiling at Yuuki, the thought finally occurred to him.
āYou have told Sugawara weāre dating right?ā
Asahi froze, eyes wide. Ā āOh no,ā he whispered. Ā āHeās gonna kill me. Ā Youāre in love with a dead man.ā
