My Cup of Tea

One-Shot: 

Reiji x Reader :)

I get this idea from online, I do not own this. I added a few sentences, though, the credits belongs to the original writer (I thought it was so beautiful that I would like to share with you all :))  

ENJOY~

**********

Tea had become their final refuge, a faint glimmer of past luxuries. Thinking so, you set a kettle on the stove and turned the dial on your timer; watching the seconds tick by until the water came to a slow boil. You sighed a little wistfully before continuing to prepare the tea.  

He had started reusing teabags a few weeks earlier, believing it to be at least one step up (an admittedly miserable one) from having no tea at all. 

"I'm sure Reiji-san has already realized, but..." You smiled sadly as the tea steeped once more, releasing the lightest scent of bergamot. Surely he was pretending not to notice for your sake. It was that sort of awkward kindness in Reiji that you particularly loved.

"I'm home." Reiji's tired voice came from the door to your small shared flat. He was in the kitchen in an instant. "You've prepared tea, I presume?"

"Yes, it should be finished soon. Welcome home, Reiji-san!" You gave yoru best cheerful smile.

Reiji laid his briefcase on the kitchen table and then took a seat, leaning back in his chair and pinching the bridge of his nose lightly. Though vampires did not often get headaches, it seemed that the action was soothing to Reiji. He only ever fell back on it when very stressed, so when he subsequently let out a sigh—though you knew it was not directed at you—it broke your's heart a little. 

"...Did you have a bad day?" You asked delicately.

"No sales were made."

"I see..."

Both of you stayed silent. Once the tea was done, you poured a cup for Reiji and placed it in front of him. He quietly sipped it, closing his eyes to better savor the taste. 

"...It's not bad." He offered simply after the cup was drained. 

"It's already been two years since we left the Sakamaki house..." You mused.

"Regretting it at this late hour, are you?"

"Not at all. Every day I can spend with Reiji-san is a happy one."

 "Hmph..."  

Within the blink of an eye, he was upon you before you could sit down at the table. Reiji rested his head in the space between your neck and shoulder which seemed to have been created just for him. You waited for the painful yet sweet sensation you knew so well, but nothing came. "...Aren't you thirsty?"

"As if I could bring myself to bite into someone so thin and unappetizing."

"I've always been thin, Reiji-san."

"...Not like this. Never like this." he murmured against you neck. "What did you eat for lunch today?"

"........."

"Don't tell me you skipped a meal again."

You stayed silent.

Reiji sighed. "See here, you. How many times do I have to tell you that I am a vampire? I don't need to eat food, so there's no point in you holding back like this."

"But..."

"What is it?"

 "I like eating meals together with you." 

You gave a small sigh. "Reiji-san, the only expenses we have nowadays are food, rent, and utilities. I'm not sure if there's much left that we can cut."

"Well think of something—" Reiji stopped upon looking into your eyes. He stared at you for several seconds as if appraising something. "...You're keeping something from me, aren't you? Something else happened today."

You knew that lying to Reiji was pointless. "Shu-san visited today. J-just for a little while... I made sure to show him out promptly."

"Hmph. I'm surprised that good-for-nothing managed to come all the way over here and stay awake. What did he want?"

"...He was worried about you—us."

"Worried? Him? Ha! Perish the thought."

"Shu-san is your brother, after all. Is it really so strange for him to worry about you? You all lived together for so long..." 

"You certainly have courage to be talking back to me, (Y/N), but not much sense." Reiji smiled a bit, "You know, the reason behind that I didn't give up is because of you-- I work hard for you, to give you a better life... So, please don't say such things anymore, it doesn't matter. What matters is you just have to stay by my side, (Y/N)....."

In this sweet prison, these difficult yet gentle days would surely continue for the two of them, you thought to yourself. Despite everything, this was your happiness...
