30 Days of No Nut Smut ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)

Day 2: Kisses (Saimota)

Don't leave me
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-

«Tomorrow we'll see. Until then, let me enjoy your presence.»

Shuichi walked back and forth, covering every inch of the shabby apartment with his feet, as he fiddled with the receipt for last night's dinner, and mumbled random song lyrics to calm himself and avoid panicking too much.

It was nothing too big, Shuichi was just waiting for Kaito to arrive, only just a little bit earlier than promised, in hopes that he might spend a few more minutes with him. It was only months after graduating from Hope's Peak when Momota got offered to work for the NASA. He happily accepted it, it was his dream after all... Despite the drawback that he had to move to the States.

He had to say goodbye.

That kind of thoughts numbed Shuichi's mind, when his toe hit the couch near to the main door, and snapped him back to a somewhat more painful reality. "Agh...!" He yelped in pain as he sat down, and rubbed his vexatious pinky toe.

It wasn't long until he was back to thinking about him, still sitting there.

The wall clock read seven o' clock. The fifteen minutes that passed since Kaito called felt like an eternity.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the keyhole rattling from outside. Shuichi stood up and bolted to the main door, somewhat like a dog's instinct. There was only one person who it could be. The door opened outwards, revealing his figure, only inches taller than Shuichi.

"I'm he-" Kaito hadn't even entered the room, when he felt Shuichi's weight on his body, throwing him down. Shuichi had pulled him into a breath killer hug, proportional to the weight of his bottled up emotions.

"Spare me! I'm innocent!" Kaito shouted in his own confusion.

Shuichi retreated as soon as he realized he was hurting him. "Ah! S-Sorry. Are you ok?"

"What the heck, man you scared me!"

"Sorry, I was just" he made a small pause to gather his thoughts "I was happy to see you."

Kaito lied sitting on the floor, his scared expression now replaced by a deeply serious one. "It's fine, sorry for snapping." He said, standing up and brushing the dust out of his clothes, "Let's go inside." He grabbed his boyfriend's hand and walked into the apartment with him. Shuichi's hand felt... warmer than usual, then of all moments; he felt the urge to grasp it tighter.

Shuichi closed the door behind him. "So...?" A dorky smile-frown came across his face.

"So..." Kaito repeated with a similar tone, softly caressing Shuichi's hand with his own while he stared into his eyes, "Is there anything you want to do? Before, you know..."

"I-" He cut him off. "I-I thought of taking a bath together. Eat dinner or... I don't know," His smile shifted into a darker frown of disappointment. "Sorry, you know I'm very bad at this."

Kaito pulled him closer, and kissed him in the forehead. "It's okay, I love it." The truth was, none of them really stood the idea of being apart for so long. Shuichi couldn't see it, but the stress was reflected on Kaito's eyes, clear as it can be.

Once in the bathtub, the hot water didn't seem to have lifted any tension from the couple. They sat on opposite ends of the bathtub, and at least in the first few minutes, Shuichi's uncomfortable humming was the only disturbance of the silence barrier that had been created between them two.
