Senku: Sure [zipper sound]

Gen: …

Gen: Up, Senku-chan.

Faded love part5💚💜

Today introduce king Ryusui 💖

"Gen," Kohaku starts, and the mentalist who was keenly sticking by a clearly busy Senku has shifted his attention towards the blonde girl.

"What's up, Kohaku-chan?" Gen smiles.

"No one's taking him away." She states, unblinking.

Gen was confused what brought this on.

"I'm afraid I can't follow, Kohaku-chan."

Kohaku only hums in response, unconvinced.

It would have been more convincing if Gen hadn't been sticking so closely to Senku after they petrified the whole world for the second time.

"Well, you'll find out soon enough."

The moment Kohaku turns his back, the smile on Gen's lips fade into a tight line, expression unreadable as he stares into the horizon.

They had been on the newly branded Perseus ship, Spain-bound and he's got no time to let things resurface this way, but the ever observant Kohaku comes up and there's nothing that really escapes her overtly keen eyes.

It's baffling that a woman of primitive era easily sees through him than most modern people can.

"What's that about?" Senku pipes up, turning his head to look at Gen who remains unmoving, deep in thought.

"It's nothing, dear." And he smiles, heart quite not in it's place as he clenches his hands hidden beneath his haori.

Kohaku was right - no one will take Senku anytime soon. But how was he supposed to convince himself of that when the world he's trying to revive can be this potential net to capture his lover whole? Tsukasa and Xeno were plenty of evidence. Hell, even Why man who is on the moon could be a prime suspect.

Sometimes Gen cannot help the fact that his thoughts slip into it's deepest crevices and thinks - the world has already taken him from me.

"I think they already did, Kohaku-chan." Gen murmurs, hiding his broken smile and cracked facade behind the sleeves of his haori.

He was so selfish, isn't he?

"For the record, no one owns me Mentalist." Senku huffs, flicking Gen's forehead and surprising him.

Gen can only hide his pretty pink blush behind the haori even more, not wanting his lover to see this parade of childish jealousy. Now isn't really the time for this.

"But you know, Gen, for what it's worth, " Senku abruptly halts, taking Gen's face into his hands and pressing a soft kiss on where he flicked Gen's forehead. Senku let's his lips linger there, parting and only giving it another chaste kiss as he looks back down on Gen's eyes full of apprehension.

"- only you can have me. I may be saving the world but this," Senku clutches onto his heart, eyes soft and cheeks just as red.

Senku's shy and he's so cute.

"Only you can take this."

For a moment, Gen relishes in the intimacy of it all, surprised that his lover could actually be such a sap and cheesy. He appreciates it, he truly does but Gen cannot seem to push down the giggles crawling its way out of his lips.

"Senku-chan, you just keep surprising me everyday!" Gen laughs, and Senku was so glad that the mirth is now reaching his lover's eyes even if it was on the exapanse of his cringe embrrassment.

"Damn you and the things I do for you." Senku fumed with arms crossed across his chest.

"Thank you, Senku." Gen beamed and this time, his laughter dying down to this soft and genuine smile he could give.

Gen silently swore that Senku would be the only one to see this smile of him.
