"So, do you like the place?"
"It's amazing, Tenn! It feels so like you!" Haruka plopped on the bed, letting the soft mattress eat him up. Tenn had just moved into his new apartment and he had been helping him unpack for the past half an hour.
"But, hm.." he trails off, sitting up with his elbows to support him. "Isn't it a bit big for one person?" he asks, wondering.
Tenn grins as he closes the door with a click. He steps closer to Haruka, slyly hovering over him— pinning him down at one point. Haruka stutters in his motions, letting himself get trapped between Tenn's arms. A shy blush blooming on his cheeks and a heart that keeps hitching.
"You think so?" He whispers into the space, making Haruka flinch. "Love, how about you fill the extra space in?"
His tone is soft, the way 'love' trails out of his mouth sends shivers down Haruka's spine, forming a fluttering mess in his heart. And wait what-
"What?" He expresses out in disbelief, the color on his cheeks only darkens.
Tenn smiles, leaning in resting his head in the crook of Haruka's neck, his soft breath tickling Haruka's skin.
"I am serious." He whispers yet again, "Move in with me Haruka."
Haruka gulps, deeming the sudden intimate shift in the air. He feels warmth blooming in every inch of his body, starting from the area Tenn rests his lips on.
"Please?" Tenn lets out the final blow. It tickles, almost violently, Haruka suppresses the frustrated groan forming in the back of his throat.
He stiffens, trying to calm the storm vibrating inside his body.
Moving in with Tenn!? This could mean so many things. Does Tenn want to spend all the 24 hours of the day with him? It feels permanent. Too permanent and intimate. Even Torao doesn't live with Minami! And they've been dating for longer than them!
No, Haruka doesn't have any doubts. He wants to spend all his life with Tenn. He really does. It's just surreal. This whole moment— with Tenn's voice as small as a whisper, almost like he's begging for Haruka to stay. It makes his legs weak. But doubts still linger in his mind.
Living together means they'd be spending every minute of the day together, when they're not working— What if- Just what if Haruka gets too comfortable and Tenn starts finding his behavi—
"Haruka." Tenn abruptly cuts his thoughts with a firm voice. "You're thinking too loud, honey." He gets up, occupying the space next to him. He gently runs his fingers through Haruka's hair, massaging this scalp slowly.
"I will not force you. It's just a suggestion. I just really want to spend more time with you."
Haruka frowns, despite his blush. He wants to- he really does. He is just worried. What if their lifestyles clash so much? Living together would mean, laying themselves bare to each other. Showing all of yo-
"Haruka." Once again, Tenn cuts his thoughts, a hand clutches tightly on his beige hoodie, "You're wearing the hoodie I left in your place last night— stop worrying."
And that's when Haruka realizes, he's seen it all and shown it all. He's seen all of Tenn's sides and he's shown Tenn all of his sides.
His boyfriend is right. Moving in won't be a problem— not anymore.
He shifts in his position to face Tenn.
"If you insist." He sings, a smile automatically tugging on the corners of his lips, "Should I start bringing my stuff in next week?"
Tenn giggles, it was the sweetest sound Haruka had ever heard, "How about we start off by having a talk with grandma?"
"Shit. Will she be fine alone?"
"Your house is a 10 minutes walk from here."
Haruka hums, thinking for a few moments. When he feels another fluttering feeling bubble up from within him, he opens his mouth.
"Hey Tenn."
"Mm?"
"I love you."
"Where did you even manage to hide this all in?" Haruka winces at Tenn's surprised, questioning tone. He looks over at his boyfriend after taping one of the moving boxes. He was fiddling with an Uchiwa fan with his face on.
Haruka is embarrassed. It wasn't a secret that he's a die-hard fan of The Kujo Tenn. Well, not after they started dating, at least. But he was still embarrassed of revealing his huge collection of Tenn merch. He thought the other might find it off putting— but clearly not. Not when his pink eyes carry a sparkle of a toddler finding a new exciting toy. Haruka groans.
"Just pack it up!" He lurches towards Tenn to grab the fan. However, Tenn dodges him— almost, masterfully. As if he's been trained his entire life just to dodge this specific motion from Haruka, "You're embarrassing me!"
"Why? I like it. It boosts my ego to know my boyfriend is obsessed with me." He teases. Haruka throws his head back, groaning.
"I hate you!"
"Haruka." Tenn muses, leaning towards him, shoving his Kujo Tenn bromide collection on his face, "Don't lie."
Tenn was craving something sweet, chocolate specifically. But he couldn't bring himself to get up from his very cozy seat, nose deep in a novel he recently got. Apparently the main character just died and he's not even half way into the book.
So, despite his extreme craving and a box of pocky right on top of the drawer in the kitchen, he just continues with his book.
A few moments later, Haruka walks into the living room, phone in hand and a pocky in his mouth. He glances at Tenn and sits down next to him on the couch, continuing to scroll without minding the other.
Tenn doesn't notice him until the couch dips a little in force of Haruka sitting beside him. He turns his head towards his boyfriend, who was still scrolling through his sns feeds and a pocky in mouth.
Oh, Tenn had a brilliant idea. He smirks to himself at the thought and places the book aside. One of his hand covers Haruka's phone screen, pushing it away from his line of vision. When Haruka looks up in confusion, Tenn is already leaning in and biting off on his pocky stick!
Tenn swiftly munches the whole stick off, making sure to graze his lips against Haruka in a teasing motion. He immediately pulls away and goes back to his book, nonchalantly, leaving Haruka in a blushing, confused mess.
A few moments later, the scene finally sinks in him and he turns to Tenn in an accusatory manner.
"Oi, bastard! That was mine!" He says, grabbing Tenn's book and tossing it away.
Haruka cages Tenn between his arms pining the other to the arm of the couch. The older idol just chuckles, bringing his arms to rest lightly on Haruka's shoulder.
"My my, Haru-chan. Don't you know sharing is caring?" He muses, tilting his head, a playful smile and a tiny chocolate crumb clings on the side of his lips. Haruka blushes, profusely.
"Unfair, Tenn! Your surprise attacks are unfair!" He whines.
When Tenn only responds with a giggle he leans in to leave a kiss on the corner of his lips, taking the little crumb off.
Tenn hums, tilting his head to the side to return the kiss on the lips. They continue kissing, shifting in their positions, limbs tangled. The book and phone long forgotten.
"But why? Why can't we shower together?"
"Tenn, oh my god! Just how shameless are you?" Haruka groans, throwing a pillow at Tenn, another groan escapes his mouth the older one of the two dodges.
"Shameless? Haruka I was inside you last nigh- Can you stop messing with the pillows?" He catches another speeding pillow thrown at his direction and bends down to grab the one he dodged.
"Can you stop being so indecent? I have no interest in hearing you recite my sex life!" He tries to bite back the heat blooming on his face.
"You use my shampoo and body wash anyway. You go around smelling like me! Why can't we shower together?"
"It's embarrassing!"
"You're impossible."
"Why do you wanna shower together anyway? You think I don't bathe myself well?" Haruka winces at the next thought, debating on letting it out but does so anyway, "Am I stinky?"
Tenn sighs and ignores everything else, only answering the first question, "Why not? It saves time, we both overslept and we both have a schedule in 30 minutes."
"Tenn." He inhales. "It's embarrassing."
"Is that your only reason?"
Haruka chews on his bottom lip. "…No."
When Tenn shoots him a questioning glance Haruka finally speaks, "It… It just feels too intimate!"
"And you're afraid of that? With me? Haruka, may I remind you how I washed you everyday for a week myself when you fell sick last year?"
Haruka rolls his eyes, cheeks still pink. That's different— He opens his mouth to say when his alarm abruptly cuts his off, startling both of them.
He sighs, annoyed, realizing there really is no time left to waste arguing. He gets out of the bed, grabbing a towel. "Whatever, let's go."
Tenn smirks, skipping behind him, his body language radiating an extremely mocking— I win!
It was a lazy day.
Tenn reading his novel relaxing on the couch, Haruka sprawled around his lap, tapping away on his colorful phone screen when he suddenly turns it off and shifts on his back to stare up at Tenn from his lap. Tenn felt the stare and looks down at his boyfriend, moving the novel to the side so it doesn't obstruct the view.
"What's up?"
"Let's go to the mountains."
"Right now?"
Haruka grins, sitting up. He shifts in his position to sit on Tenn's lap, facing him. Tenn's breathe hitches at the sudden motion.
"We could go later." He says, leaning into Tenn's space, resting his head on his chest. It was an awkward hug but Tenn couldn't complain, not when his boyfriend looks so adorable snuggling unto him. "I was just thinking it's been a while since we last went out on a break."
"Hm, it has been a year since we went on an extended break. Right."
"Let's go out on a date to the mountains."
Tenn chuckles, finding the creature clinging to him, inhumanely adorable. "What's up with you today?"
"I just miss Tenn." He snuggles on the crook of his neck. In this position, he resembles a koala but Tenn refrains from voicing that thought out. "I want to enjoy a few days— or a week- maybe two?… With you. Without having to worry about work."
"You have a tour soon. Should we go after that?"
"Hm, how is your musical going?"
"Peachy. The company promised us an extended break after. I will try to align it with your break?"
"Bet." He muses, pecking Tenn's face— forehead, cheek, nose and then on the lips. "I am excited."
"That's good. Stay like this while I finish reading this book?" Tenn requests, softly.
Haruka lets out a teasing smirk, "I will consider it." He tightens his grip around Tenn's body, despite what he says.
"Haruka." Tenn sighs, picking up a T-kun plushie, settling it on Haruka's green bean bag. "They're everywhere."
The other glances up from his position in bed, arms hugging a huge T-kun.
"They've overgrown your Kujo Tenn collection."
"Are you jealous of a fictional dinosaur? How cute, Tenn."
Tenn shrugs him off, getting in the bed beside him, "There's almost no place to lay down anymore, love."
"Oh, so you want me to throw my babies away? Is that what you want?" Haruka internally giggles before continuing the next line, "You're just like Kujo-san!"
Tenn rolls his eyes, "Not funny." He sighs, grabbing one of Haruka's T-kun toys and petting it, "Also, not what I said. I think we should get you a big cupboard to put them in."
Haruka entertains the idea, sitting up, "Really? But I like living with them close to me."
"You can keep a few on the bed. I am talking mostly about them being scattered all over the house. They could get lost, you know?"
Haruka grins, lurching towards Tenn to wrap him in his arms, "Maybe."
When his grip on Tenn tightens, he wonders about just how much sweeter his boyfriend could get. Tenn cares, he cares so much— about Haruka, his grandmother, his unit mates, friends and even his toys. He smiles, resting his face in Tenn's hair, taking in his strawberry shampoo.
"Honey, I can't breathe." Tenn squirms from under him, struggling. Haruka giggles and only pulls him in tighter.
"Just making sure you don't get jealous of me holding a dinosaur toy, anymore."
When he slowly pushes them down to rest on the bed, he closes his eyes. The scent of detergent radiating off the sheets, Tenn's body wash and shampoo, he takes it all in, the moment forming a warm spot in his heart. It feels like home.
"Haruka. I really cannot breathe." Tenn nudges, pulling on his sleeve. Haruka chuckles, refusing to let go.
"That's what you deserve, babe."
Tenn just makes it too hard for him to not fall more and more in love.
"Haruka, I don't want to deal with your stupid questions at this hour."
"So you are saying you wouldn't love me if I was a roach?"
"You woke me up at 3 in the morning for this?" Tenn groans, "Ugh, You know I hate roaches! Why can't you be something like a cute kitty? I won't even mind a more decent insect like a beetle."
"Wow! So you would kill me if I was a roach."
"Not what I said."
"You would hate me if I was a roach."
Tenn rubs a palm across his face.
"Just so you know Tenn. If you were a roach, I would keep you in a little case." He speaks, dramatically. Tenn winces at the thought, he does not even want to imagine himself as a roach. "I would care for you and feed you everyday! I would give you kisses and hugs too. But you— You treat me this way!"
Tenn sighs, retorting, "What if I was a worm?"
Haruka pauses, staring at him. He blinks for a few moments, opening and closing his mouth, as if to say something. Ultimately, he ignores the question entirely and continues, "If you cannot love me in my roach-state, I don't think we can carry on like this. Maybe it's time for us to break up."
"Yeah? Would you love me if I was a worm?" Tenn debates, pushing at it. Face clearly in his most 'done' state.
Haruka pouts, "That's a bit harsh. You're nowhere as ugly as a worm. Why would you compare yourself to that slimy thing?"
"So you are saying you are equivalent to a roach?"
Haruka gasps, dramatically, "Did you just call me a roach?"
"It's 3 in the morning. Why don't we go back to sleep, love?"
Haruka fiddles with his fingers for a moment, and then looks up at Tenn, "I am hungry."
"I know." Tenn grabs the box of cookies from his nightstand drawer and hands it to Haruka, who beams immediately. "I filled your bottle with water and there's also a bottle with fruit juice on your nightstand."
"Oh my god." Tenn gasps into his palm, his other hand busies itself into tapping something on his phone.
Haruka looks over at him from the kitchen. He does not have a good feeling about this, whatsoever. So, he gets back to chopping the vegetables for tonight's dinner.
"Oh my god, Haruka!" He winces when he hears Tenn walk into the kitchen, with a huge shit-eating grin on his face. Haruka blushes, guessing what this could be about.
"I did not know you loved me so much." The other muses, pulling him into a back hug. Haruka rolls his eyes, cheeks burning.
"We live together, Tenn."
"I did not know you mumble my name in your sleep even in front of Zool."
Haruka groans, focusing back on prepping dinner, "I will seriously kill Torao."
"It was Inumaru Touma, actually." He presses a kiss on Haruka's nape. The other sighs. "The video is seriously so cute."
"I will kill Touma, then."
"You're so adorable." Tenn continues pecking his neck.
"And then I will kill you."
Tenn giggles into his neck, pulling him tightly for a moment and letting go, "I love you too, honey."
