It was a normal day for the couple.
After showering and eating breakfast. Kiyotaka was enjoying tea while ryuuen was on his phone, browsing social media, It was very obvious how bored ryuuen was so Kiyotaka wasn't surprised when he suddenly suggested going out.
"Let's go on a date".
Kiyotaka took his time to reply while savoring his tea "No".
Ryuuen wasn't fazed by the rejection and tried to persuade him so that they go out together " you need new cloths, winter is coming and you have grown out of almost all of your winter cloths plus you have no fashion sense so let's go together".
Kiyotaka didn't bother replying verbally, he just put his hands in his pockets and pulled them outside to show his empty pockets and was thinking of what book to read today, anyway it was still early to buy winter cloths.
"I'm buying" I had no plans to let him pay from the start.
"No" the reply was swift. Kiyotaka had finished drinking the last sip of his tea and went to wash the cup since he didn't like delaying things, not caring for ryuuen's reply.
Kiyotaka had a feeling nothing was free with his boyfriend, recently ryuuen has been trying to persuade him to give him blowjob but Kiyotaka doesn't want put it in his mouth. Kiyotaka trusted his immunity but he still wasn't ready for that.
However much ryuuen grumbled that it's normal for a boyfriend to spoil his lover and that there was no hidden motives, he just ignored him.
Both of them were men and equal and no relationship that goes one way stays for long but ryuuen is the type to spoil his lover and wants to buy everything for Kiyotaka but Kiyotaka usually doesn't accept because then it's hard give back for ryuuen . Kiyotaka know for a fact if he put some effort into making money, he could get rich however he didn't want to stand out anymore and also wasn't willing to put that effort in while he is perfectly content with everything right now. In other words, he was lazy.
The only times he was willing to spent some effort is in special occasions (birthday, new year...) even thought he personally didn't care, he kind of wanted to experience this things with ryuuen.
Ryuuen had to use his final move that he knew will make Kiyotaka annoyed if not pissed.
" but you only have one pair of underwear "
Kiyotaka froze for a moment before his head turned slowly to ryuuen then moved to his closet swiftly to open the drawer he usually keeps his undergarments in and it was empty except for an old boxer that he stopped wearing because it's too small for him now.
Ryuuen didn't wait for Kiyotaka's reaction "I will buy you whatever sweats you want this whole month, you can even eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner"
The room that was getting too cold suddenly started returning to normal temperature.
Kiyotaka can't say no to good food.
Ryuuen smirked and fist pumped the air.
He was still imagining how Kiyotaka will look in different clothes when Kiyotaka knocked on his head using his fist. It was so painful, ryuuen had to close his eyes and massage his head for a full 2 minutes before opening his eyes.
"Stop going through my closet" Kiyotaka didn't know what to say to a boyfriend who liked to mess up with him and his things.
Kiyotaka only had few outfits, but all of them were worn by ryuuen one way or another, if he remembered correctly, some of the things he wore now were bought by ryuuen and left in the room. They both have similar heights and body build so it was no problem but Kiyotaka never imagined before the day where he will wear someone's cloths to ever come. Even before when he imagined his relationship, he never had this thought that his girlfriend will wear his cloths.
Kiyotaka was pulled out of his thoughts by a hand on his lower back guiding him to the front of the closet and then taking out black jeans and dark green hoodie that was ryuuen's.
He stripped out of the white t-shirt and black shorts he was wearing and got dressed in the jeans and hoodie, it took less than 2 minutes.
He waited for 2 more minutes for ryuuen to finish getting ready too.
Ryuuen was wearing a simple navy jeans and white long sleeved shirt.
Next thing was waiting 10 minutes for ryuuen to get his hair done and being dragged to have his messy hair combed then they went out.
It didn't take long before keyaki mall was In front of them.
In the store, Kiyotaka simply gave up all resistance and let himself be a doll that was dressed and stripped however ryuuen wanted.
Ryuuen didn't even bother asking for his opinion, he simply asked if it was comfortable or tight anywhere, as for the rest it was his decision.
Ryuuen bought 3 button up shirts for him, one black, one white and one sapphire colored.
One black linen pants.
Kiyotaka wanted to protest that this wasn't winter cloths
Ryuuen wanted to buy 3 very short shorts that honestly looked like boxers but Kiyotaka had concerns about if anyone their age could wear it.
Kiyotaka couldn't help saying "I think you need a bigger size"
Ryuuen had a weird grin on his face while replying " it's not for me"
Kiyotaka tilted his head for a while before suddenly having a realization and taking two stops to the back while refusing " I'm not wearing that" it's impossible for that to be his size.
Ryuuen knew from the look on Kiyotaka's face that he would never agree so he simply threw the shorts outside.
Then 3 oversized sweatshirts were swiftly chosen (white, caramel, yellow).
Finally something for winter
When they went out the store, ryuuen was carrying the bag with a grin while Kiyotaka was walking slowly behind him, he wasn't physically tired but mentally he is tired. Trying to stop ryuuen from buying him things was more exhausting than expected.
Kiyotaka didn't forget the original purpose of going out "will you return my things to me tonight?" Kiyotaka still had some hope that he won't have to buy anymore cloths.
Ryuuen sent him a cheeky smile while replying "today is impossible, I will return it tomorrow."
Kiyotaka sighed and both of them went to the undergarments store for men, he didn't want to spend more time shopping so he simply Looked for his size and wanted to get 1 in black to wear today after showering, unfortunately his size isn't included in the free basket for broke students.
Ryuuen was behind him looking at something weird, it was a belt with a triangle in front and stripes to the side.
Kiyotaka's instincts told him it was getting dangerous the more ryu looked so he grabbed him and started distracting him "what color should I get?" it was only after the question came out that Kiyotaka wanted a hole in the ground to open so he can jump in.
Ryuuen looked at him wide eyed for a second before a full blown laugh came out of his mouth, for the next 3 minutes ryuuen was laughing so hard he is almost on the ground now.
Kiyotaka took the underwear in his hands and went to pay in silence. He looked completely expressionless if you don't look at how fast he is walking.
Kiyotaka paid and left immediately like he was running away.
He walked for a while before ryuuen caught up to him and shoulder bumped him.
His face was still flushed from laughing and he had a wide grin, he put his arm over Kiyotaka's shoulder and pulled him closer then whispered in his ears in a sensual voice "all colors look good on you but you look the best without cloths".
Kiyotaka felt shivers going down his spine before he pushed ryuuen's face away from his face, he never liked anyone talking near his ears.
"there is this new famous restaurant that sells Egyptian food, do you wanna go try it?"
Kiyotaka didn't know but his eyes lights up cutely when something he didn't try before is mentioned.
Ryuuen's eyes softened and he directed them to the restaurant, it was probably too soon to have lunch but they were both growing boys with big appetite.
Kiyotaka googled some food on his phone on the way and after understanding what a dish is he will Explain it for ryuuen in a simple way so they can have an idea of what to order.
Both of them didn't realize how intimate they were being. They walked side by side with almost no space between them, had similar heights, Ryuuen's arm were over Kiyotaka's shoulders bringing him closer while the other arm carried their shopping bags and they had their heads lowered looking at Kiyotaka's phone while talking to eachother with their cheeks almost touching.
There was something about the vibes around them and how they looked so comfortable together, especially Kiyotaka who didn't realize he lost his gloomy aura when he is with ryuuen so even thought he is still expressionless he looked like a beautiful cold Boy. Especially while he was explaining something to ryuuen, he looked like the perfect gentleman so some girls couldn't help casting some glances at the oblivious couple, since it was still early it wasn't crowded for once in the mall.
They entered and found seats in a some corner to sit in front of each other then started looking through the menu.
Kiyotaka wanted to try koshary which is a popular Egyptian dish made of rice, lentils, and pasta, topped with spicy tomato sauce and crispy fried onions. It's a hearty street food known for its rich flavors. while ryuuen wanted to try hamam mahshy (basically Egyptian stuffed pigeons).
Kiyotaka was also curious about the taste of the stuffed pigeons so he planned to ask ryuuen to let him taste. After ordering food and water, both of them sat back down.
Kiyotaka looked up after putting his phone on the table to find ryuuen watching him with a weird smile on his face.
"what" Kiyotaka asked straightforwardly, he had no intention of sitting and bearing ryuuen's weirdness.
"No nothing, just imagined something nice, do you want to know?" ryuuen asked with a gentle smile that could fool no student in ANHS.
"No" Kiyotaka certainly didn't want to know.
"Do you plan to stay in tokyo after graduation" Ryuuen suddenly asked.
Kiyotaka tensed for a second before relaxing, it was the first time ryuuen said anything about their future or asked Kiyotaka a personal question. Kiyotaka answered after hesitating for a while "probably" .
"Then how about we live together after we graduate?" Ryuuen asked while looking at him in a weird way , Kiyotaka felt like ryuuen's eyes were full of nothing but Kiyotaka at this moment, something about the way he is looking at Kiyotaka with is making Kiyotaka feel trapped and short of breath.
Kiyotaka felt his head stop thinking, he broke eye contact and looked down for a moment before making eye contact again with ryuuen, he breathed a sigh before answering "I don't think that man will allow that"
Ryuuen tilted his head before asking "that man?".
Kiyotaka answered in a low voice "my guardian"
Ryuuen looked puzzled " your relative?"
Kiyotaka groaned before sighing again, he really didn't enjoy the conversation but he knows that will have it at some point of time later "my father".
Ryuuen raised an eyebrow as it was the first time Kiyotaka acted like this "it seems you have daddy issues"
Kiyotaka glared at him coldly, ryuuen raised both hands before asking "easy boy, I'm just curious, how bad is the relationship ship from 1 to 10?"
Kiyotaka answered in no time "in minus"
Ryuuen smirked "that bad? So don't tell me you came here to run away from daddy at home?"
Kiyotaka nodded silently while looking behind ryuuen.
Ryuuen looked happy with his guess being correct as he hummed happily.
"Then where will we live in the future? Spain or another country seem good, should I start learning another language".
Kiyotaka blinked several times before saying "huh" softly.
Ryuuen answered naturally like he was saying facts " you already ran away so you don't want to go back, it seems your daddy is powerful but it's not like he owns the world, we can simply leave Japan".
"It's nice being simple minded" Kiyotaka said sarcastically
"Oi!" ryuuen said angry before ruffling his hair roughly.
Kiyotaka narrowed his eyes as he watched ryuuen start playing on his phone, no one could guess what was on his mind but suddenly he smiled " how unexpected. the chances are not zero" .
Kiyotaka was still lost on thought when suddenly he saw ryuuen lower his phone with a satisfied look on his face, ryuuen turned the screen towards him to show him the picture he took of him just now.
The Kiyotaka in the picture was looking in the distance with a smile on his face, the smile was very pretty but what was absolutely breathtaking was the golden eyes that looked they were melting.
Ryuuen got closer and gave him a kiss on the temple, beside his eye.
Kiyotaka became dazed after seeing the picture and getting kissed for a good 10 seconds, so he could smile and look normal. His face was back to being expressionless, he raised his eyes and thought about his thoughts in the past.
Kiyotaka really didn't have any conscious memory of laughing.
Now I do
An unconscious expression of emotion.
How many such experiences have there been.
Now there has been
It's not about role-playing or conforming to the atmosphere, it's just about being yourself naturally.
It's all the more interesting because I realize how difficult it is.
That's what it's like to put a drop of color on a plain white sketchbook.
Ryuuen throw the whole paint bucket on him it seems.
Ryuuen put the picture as both his lock screen and home screen and stared at it for a while until their orders were ready and they went to get it.
After they sat back down, Kiyotaka used a big spoon to scoop everything and try it first, the smell was good so he was looking forward to the taste, he brought the spoon to his mouth. He was chewing slowly to taste every flavor.
It was good, he turned his attention to ryuuen's pigeon, he watched him break it open and then try the stuffing with a spoon, it seemed he liked, then it means it's good.
"I want to try your pigeon" Kiyotaka was curious how it tasted.
Ryuuen choked on something then suddenly scooped a spoon while smirking "open your mouth".
Kiyotaka's focus was all on the food so he obediently opened his mouth.
Ryuuen had a wider smile on his face while bringing the spoon closer to feed kiyo "wider".
Kiyotaka tried to open his mouth as wide as he can while waiting for the food.
The moment he ate the food and started chewing, he closed his eyes to savor the flavor more then swallowed. He did like both dishes.
When Kiyotaka opened his eyes, he found ryuuen watching him closely.
"Good boy"
Kiyotaka was confused why he was suddenly complimented, so he tilted his head then focused on the food. Both of them inhaled the food.
They were so stuffed at the end, they had to rest for a while before starting to walk back home.
Kiyotaka was sleepy after eating too much but he still walked while holding ryuuen's hand which was leading him towards the supermarket, Kiyotaka was confused what they were buying until they reached the lube and condom section. He watched as ryuuen choose two lubes, one without flavor and the other strawberry flavored. Then some condom.
Kiyotaka wanted to wait outside while ryuuen paid as it was too awkward but ryuuen held his hand strongly. In the end they went to the cashier together and checked the things and throw it in one of the bags they were already carrying.
They walked home holding hands while Kiyotaka started craving some good tea, he will make fo them when they return home.
