            〝  mhm.  write what you want and then just give the coupon back to me when you'd like to actually use it ＂ he described as a hand of his own lift to idly play with inho's hair,  a habit that kaoru's begun to do whenever he needed to calm the steady increase of his heart rate〝  and also make sure that what you write down is within my ability to do is the only rule ＂ he added,  stopping his earlier idle playing in favor of taking the chance to slip out of the ravenette's grasp,  the editor going towards the kitchen to get himself something to drink.  for some reason,  he had a feeling that whatever the teacher had in store was going to be movement intensive,  but he didn't know in what way..

he...  blinks.  realizing the intention behind it. ⠀"  so you wanna play a little game with me?  no wonder you decided to wear this.  " ⠀hummed inho,  who glanced at the blank coupon..  and a brilliant idea sparked in his head. ⠀"  since you said  ‘requests’,  do i write it down hm?  "

            〝  these used to be joke coupons my friends and i made back then to do each other favors and whatnot.  and seeing how this one was blank,  i figured you can use it to for the same purpose ＂ he explained,  letting the ravenette's fondling continue seeing as he has already gotten long used to inho's antics〝  so with that said,  is there anything you want to make a request for﹖ ＂ came his question while looking at the other with a curious gaze,  wondering what the teacher would ask for him to do

            kaoru looked at the small cat with a smile before he held out his hand towards it.  the cat cautiously inspected the editor's open hand before eventually rubbing against it,  allowing kaoru to properly pet it〝  you're just the cutest aren't you﹖  and a little ball of energy too ＂ he said with a laugh as he watched the cat now wrestle with his hand,  its paws clinging onto his palm as it playfully bit at his fingers while purring

"  yeah,  it kinda does now that you mention it.  look its got the same pattern as me on their face what a eenie meenie.  " ⠀he grins,  pointing over the cat's face.

            〝  they're cute,  i like them.  heh,  that one even almost looks like you too＂

            seeing the ravenette become flustered made his heart swoon as he continued to place kisses of affection along inho's face〝  you really don't see yourself the way i do huh﹖  to me,  you're the one that's way out of my league ＂ the editor argued〝  you're charming,  confident,  and we can't forget about how cool you are too.  there's so many qualities of yours that i admire that it made me think for a while i'd have no chance getting to be yours ＂

inho stiffened.  eyes blinking in a slow,  almost frog—like manner while processing what had just happened. ⠀"  oh..  for real?  " ⠀well,  he figured he would probably be rejected.  but to such an astonishing turn of events it was completely the latter,（...）who would have thought?  certainly not inho,  who blushed after the chaste kiss. ⠀"  but,  i've been awful to you?  ha⸺really thought you'd turn me down i'm..  way out of your league.  "

            kaoru's brief typing on his laptop momentarily stopped at hearing inho's question.  his gaze shifting away from the illuminated screen to look at the other fondly before the device was set aside.  the editor then made his way over to the ravenette before leaning over to place a chaste kiss on the corner of his lips〝  i'd like that a lot if we can ＂ he quietly said without hesitation as if he only wanted his words to be heard by the other

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            〝  one time out of the many other times you've teased me actually ＂ he corrected,  choosing shortly after pinching inho to place an apologetic kiss on his cheek〝  i should be rewarded for putting up with your antics ＂

"  aghh⸺hey,  that was only one time..  " ⠀winced inho,  who all but laughed pleasantly at the memory.  he vividly remembers that,  it was definitely an unforgettable one!

            〝  hey,  i can take a hit to my ego if it's needed you know﹖  so you don't need to go easy on me all the time ＂ the editor's eyes lightly rolled before he chose to pinch the other's cheek back〝  you remember that bet you did with anri﹖  yeah,  that's a great example of you being a bad influence ＂

            kaoru couldn't help but let out a shaky laugh in between his moans of pleasure〝  easier said than done ah-﹗ ＂ if this kept up,  his mind would end up going blank at this rate is what the editor thought as his fingers dug into the ravenette's chest,  leaving crescent shapes in the process〝  and stop acting all smug when i can tell you're close too ＂ he managed to say back as he brought himself to insistently move his hips with the same rhythm as inho's thrusts.  the sounds coming from them alone was enough to nearly have him give in,  but for the other's sake,  he willed himself to not break as what was told of him to do

was he trying to escape from it?  how amusing,  given how his hips shuddered and lifted⸺his hands brazenly cupped the curve of his rear,  idly squeezing the supple flesh before brutally anchoring the whimpering male into his throbbing cock.  fingers sunk into his bottom,  the obscene slick sounds of flesh filling the room⸺inho redoubled his efforts to the point his cock pounded and kissed the sweet prostate repeatedly.  the rough motion making the bed creak beneath them. ⠀"  we just started,  " ⠀a breathless laugh,  a low grunt follows whilst his cock proceeds to slam further into the clenching hole. ⠀"  hold it in.  "

            kaoru's breathing becaming increasingly heavy as the pace of the other's thrusts also drastically picked up in speed〝  t-too much inho﹗ ＂ came the editor's flushed exclamation,  the ravenette's insistent and rough bucking causing his voice to raise in turn〝  i don't think i'll last any longer-﹗ ＂ tears of pleasure pricked at his eyes,  kaoru arching even more against the other as if he was trying to lift his hips away from the ravenette's

            kaoru who laid on top of the ravenette,  shifted his weight so he could push himself up.  his hands caged inho's head to the floor,  their noses brushing against each other once the editor leaned back down 〝  can you say that again..  please﹖ ＂ his voice was barely above a whisper as he asked that question.  the silence shared between the two was stifling,  but at the same time it brought a sense of comfort to kaoru just being so close to the other〝  and if you want to kiss me,  then do it..  i won't stop you ＂

he listened.  inho's fingers combed through the grey locks,  simply urging him on to continue the intimate ministrations. ⠀"  aren't i all yours?  and i think i've already made it so clear that you're the only one for me.  " ⠀a relatively heavy sigh,  the ravenette reaches to tilt kaoru's head.  their gazes were now focused to one another. ⠀"  everytime i look at you..  i just want to kiss you.  "

the seemingly simple question had made kaoru freeze up.  now that he thought about it,  what really were they﹖﹖  their relationship over time had managed to evolve into this line that bordered being friends or a couple..  but friends don't do the intimate activities they've done before-  the editor knew that what he felt for the ravenette was genuine,  but did inho feel the same way﹖  his response laid heavy on his tongue,  his teeth lightly grazing against the other's collarbone,  but never biting down〝  i feel that i don't want anyone to take you away from me..  but i know that's not right of me to think that way...  ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            〝  i just don't want to seem rude.  you did return my jacket after all.  it's the least i can do to repay your kindness ＂ kaoru reasoned,  a soft poke being placed upon inho's cheek.  he soon after made his way to the kitchen,  looking through the fridge to see what ingredients they had that could be used〝  and i don't think i could've been more direct than that.  also let me know what you're in the mood for ＂

the glass of water is taken⸺ and inho merely takes a short sip,  eventually placing the glass upon the coffee table.⠀ "  look at you,  even wanting me to overstay for dinner..  then saying you don't want to keep me here for too long-  "⠀ inho’s flattered,  really.  that means kaoru enjoys his company despite how much of a tease he could be.⠀ "  sure,  why not?  haha,  you really need to be direct with what you want.  "

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            〝  if you don't have anywhere else to be,  it would make nice company if you stayed over.  maybe even for dinner perhaps﹖ ＂ kaoru offered with a smile as he handed the glass to inho〝  but if you have somewhere to be,  i wouldn't want to keep you for too long ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            〝  you guys bet on it﹖﹖  actually,  i shouldn't even be surprised about it.  this is anri we're talking about after all- ＂ kaoru said with a sigh while slightly ruffling up his own ashen locks〝  and if that's what she bet,  what was your's﹖ ＂

"  your sister’s such a snitch.  "⠀ he sighs,  pouting for a bit.  (obviously,  she really wasn't a snitch..)  but he thinks kaoru will believe him.⠀ "  she said that you liked me.  so i said..  ‘should i prove it?’  so we had a little bet.  "

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            he should say no,  pretend he wasn't curious and move on as if nothing had happened.  but his own curiosity was getting the better of him,  which caused kaoru to give in〝  alright,  let's hear it.  because i really want to know at this point ＂

his smile may have gotten wider after hearing that,  and inho found himself enjoying the company kaoru offered.  it was nice,  and he wishes it would always remain this pleasing.⠀ "  even if you say that now,  i wouldn't let you do that for me..  and to get involved with whatever bullshit i went through.  nor would i ever want to put you in a position where you feel obligated to fix my issues.  i handled them anyways.  "

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            〝  you've always been cool to me,  even during your lowest moments ＂ he quietly said with a small smile.  it was unclear whether those words of his were meant to be said aloud or in his head,  but he seemed to not be startled by hearing his own words regardless.  an arm was later set to rest over inho's shoulders as he let out a chuckle〝  i'm just saying that if we were friends much sooner,  i would've been there to defend you from all those rumors.  but i'm still happy with this outcome ＂

"  it's fine,  you know.  i got the hand of those rumors.  "⠀ right,  he remembered it.   though the newspaper club played a huge factor on such incidents,  it wasn't like he could do anything about it before.⠀ "  that..  was probably for the best.  haha,  i think i'm much cooler now though.  "⠀ it was best to be strangers during that time   ..   perhaps them meeting now is some kind of miraculous fate.   the mere thought made him muse,  a soft smile lingering.⠀ "  i wouldn't want you to meet the lowest version of myself.  now look,  we're basically close now.  "⠀ turned inho.

            〝  that's what i plan on doing.  hopefully i'll manage to one day make a proper living out of it and even be able to go overseas ＂ the pen in his hand was clicked a couple of times〝  and i do the best i can to take care of her.  i just don't want to see her stressing about stuff she doesn't need to worry about you know﹖ ＂

inho found it wholesome amidst the conversation.  he listened attentively,  all while writing down the translations on his part,⠀ "  cute.  i think you should keep doing it..  something you're passionate about can get others reeled in.  "⠀ then,  a playful nudge of his elbow is done to their side.⠀ "  that's good you have each other.  i can tell,  you're a good brother.  "

            his eyes seemed to shine with enthusiasm at hearing inho's own curiosity,  being more than happy to share his thoughts about it〝  yeah.  i actually started reading manga from anri's collection.  then when i went off to college,  i started building up one myself ＂ he explained〝  i always had something to talk about with her whenever i came home for the holidays.  so i guess that's the other reason why i kept reading them aside from being interested in them ＂
