uramichi likes the idea of having someone to share his apartment with. his cold, lonely apartmentโฆ
what he likes even more is the presence of someone else, other than him, being there.
that someone else is none other than you. his partner of a few months now.
your belongings litter uramichiโs place now. thereโs little rubber bands that take up space on his counters, there for you, and some for him that you left because he keeps losing his.
when youโre over, thereโs an extra spare key on his holder that belongs to you. thereโs even a spare one to your home, if ever needed, occupying one of the hooks.
the place smells like you. so does his furniture. thereโs no longer just the lingering smell of smoke from uramichiโs cigarettes. thereโs also your body odor, and those specific lotions you use floating through the air that smells so good to uramichi.
it smells nostalgic to him. nostalgic in the sense that heโs reminiscing the last moment you were over when he smells the scent. even if was just the night or day before.
uramichiโs so used to it.
yโknow, originally, he wasnโt used to you being over at all. heโd even stretch and say he wasnโt used to company being over but with his two colleagues, thatโs not exactly true.
theyโre company, yes, but theyโre not exactly welcomed. uramichi doesnโt invite kumatani and usahara to his place much like he does with you.
uramichi initially barely invited you over because he was so nervous for no apparent reason but youโve become such a daily occurrence, that your presence is wanted and practically needed for uramichi to function every day.
the apartment used to be so empty. and now itโs so full and lively with your being.
you share the space thatโs called his home with uramichi and heโd rather not have it any other way.
โhey, youโre in the way, move.โ
โhello to you too, michi.โ
โmove aside.โ
โare you gonna move me yourself if i donโt?โ
uramichi stares down at you with his usual gloomy eyes. heโs done from working out and wants to sit on his own couch that youโre currently completely occupying.
he answers your obvious question with a glare and that gives you enough of a reason to sit up.
not that you donโt enjoy when uramichi moves you on his own when you pester him, but you wanna give him less resistance today.
you readjust yourself, expecting uramichi to wanna sit by himself without you messing with him but surprisingly, he returns you back down to lay your head on his lap.
โoh. you donโt hate me today?โ you joke.
โi never hate you. until you start acting like that dumb bunny.โ
โbe glad iโm not doing that today.โ
โi have been.โ
the short conversation dies down but thereโs no uncomfortable silence.
youโre going back to your original state of closing your eyes and relaxing. the only difference is now, you get to lay against uramichiโs lap instead of the couch cushions and also have the pressure of his grip gently squeezing and releasing at your arm closest to him.
are you his replacement for his grip trainer thatโs most likely broken again? maybe.
you open an eye to check on him. from your view below, you can already see the pleasantly blank face heโs making.
the one he makes when heโs so peacefully happy with whatever heโs doing.
should you ask what heโs thinking or not disturb his questionable existence of thoughts? you decide not to. you know heโs happy right now.
the most you do to encourage it is taking your own hand and interlocking it with one of his hands.
uramichi notices, obviously.
it makes him happier remembering that youโre still right there where he put you.
heโll never verbally admit it but your touch keeps him calm. ironically enough, uramichiโs never been the one for physical contact.
subtle interactions and touches or bold grabs by higher ups or even associates bother him but you donโt. you do the exact opposite of what they do and uramichi loves that.
heโs a sucker for the quiet moments of physical intimacy you two have.
that might actually be his method of showing affection actuallyโฆ
uramichi doesnโt give that type of thing attention (yes he absolutely does) but when he thinks about it, your physical touch and quality time is what gives him that fuzziness.
the fuzziness thatโs capable of silencing his ever running brain and his underlying fears and anxieties for as long as youโre around.
all of that, is what uramichi likes about you.
this lonely man went from not experiencing love regularly to getting more than he believed heโd ever receive.
this is what he wanted for so long.
uramichi is glad for your presence.
