Chapter Text
"That's all for today's class, thank you everyone."
The students said their thanks and flock out of the classroom, flooding the hallways and pacing out of the school's gate.
Rengoku took his briefcase and head to the student council room, as he opened the door, his eyes notice the color of the sky, looking through the window, branches swayed and gray clouds began to gather.
"Damn, I forgot my umbrella." He crossed his arms, then decided that he'll be quick to get his task done. He pulled out the drawer and ran his fingers through the documents, he took a yellow file out and made his way to the photocopier, turning it on and rushing through the process of scanning the document, he double-checked the papers and kept it in a separate file in his briefcase.
He rushed down the stairs when it started to rain. Sighing to himself, he made a run for the gate, that was until someone tackled him and the rain stopped hitting onto him.
"Kyoujurou," Akaza grinned, clumsily handling his umbrella while having both of his arms wrapped around his lover. "Akaza!-" Kyoujurou called out, bewildered, "What are you doing here?" "Wanted to see you," Akaza let go of him, shrugging.
"Did you wait for a long time?" Kyoujurou asked when Akaza took his hand and led them home. "Not really, good thing I brought an umbrella though! It looked like it was about to rain," Akaza said, smiling to himself. "Right, what do you want to have for dinner? I've steamed some potatoes!" "Oh… That's nice, thank you "Oh… That's nice, thank you," Kyoujurou nodded his head as he squeezed Akaza's hand affectionately.
"You're tired out from work, huh," Akaza chuckled, lightly swinging their intertwined hands, "No worries, when we get home, take a bath, then you'll feel better." "Thanks, Akaza," Kyoujurou breaks out a relieved smile, and bumps his shoulder gently against Akaza's. "Of course."
"Welcome home," Senjurou called out, laying across the sofa with a phone in his hand. "We're back~ The bath's ready, I'll go make dinner," Akaza beamed and head to the kitchen, leaving Kyoujurou trying to kick off his shoes at the genkan, "Huh? Uh, alright."
"Akaza-san told me to help prepare the bath when he went to get you," Senjurou said, "I think the tub's almost full by now." "Okay, thanks," Kyoujurou left his briefcase by the sofa, stretching his back slightly before he went to the bathroom.
By the time Kyoujurou was out of the bath, Akaza had already finished cooking and Senjurou had set the table, they sat down and said their thanks before digging in.
After dinner, he dropped down onto the sofa, letting his head fall back to the cushions as a long sigh escaped his lungs. Akaza walked over, then dropped a kiss onto Kyoujurou's forehead, he sat down next to him and leaned onto Kyoujurou, prompting the blonde to wrap his arm around Akaza.
Senjurou sat on the other end of the sofa, focused on his phone while Kyoujurou was half paying attention to the television, Akaza was indulged in the show, laughing occasionally while having his arms supporting Kyoujurou who was slowly drifting to sleep.
"Do you want to go to bed?" Akaza asked, earning a brief nod from Kyoujurou, "Alright." He turned to Senjurou, bidding the boy goodnight as he took Kyoujurou to their bedroom. Kyoujurou snuck under the comforter, his body relaxed as soon as Akaza closed the door and turned off the lights. Kyoujurou felt Akaza pressing down onto the mattress of their double bed, Akaza settled himself in their bed and moved closer to Kyoujurou, he extended an arm to embrace his lover.
"Goodnight," Akaza brushed Kyoujurou's hair with his hand gently, before letting it rest on Kyoujurou's waist. "Goodnight, I love you," Kyoujurou whispered back, then closed his eyes.
"Good morning," Kyoujurou said, he leaned over Akaza and gave him a smooch on his cheek. "Good morning," Akaza rubbed his eyes, stretching his body, he snuggled into the comforter, yearning for some more sleep. "You have to get up, or you'll sleep for another two hours," Kyoujurou hung his towel and used the hair dryer to dry his hair. "Sounds good to me," Akaza pushed himself up from the mattress, he approached Kyoujurou and let his head rest on the blonde's shoulder while having both of his arms around Kyoujurou's waist.
"I didn't need to see you two being all lovey-dovey this early in the morning," Senjurou complained lightheartedly with a yawn, dressed in his school uniform with his bag's strap over his shoulder. Akaza laughed, pulling away from Kyoujurou, "I'll go get cleaned up, I'll eat breakfast with you later," Akaza said, he kissed Kyoujurou on the cheek before going into the bathroom.
Senjurou was already making his breakfast, toast topped with cheese, he looked over at his brother and gave him a muffled "good morning".
"Good mornin'," Kyoujurou returned the greeting, as he made himself a mug of instant coffee.
"Packed up your bento?" Kyoujurou asked, and Senjurou replied with a hum, "Yup."
"Nii-chan, do you think it's okay to share food with your friend?" Senjurou asked after a few seconds of thinking, his shoulders dropping as if he remembered something unpleasant.
"Of course. Why do you ask?" Kyoujurou answered and took a sip of his coffee, curiosity began to surface within him and his cocked eyebrow doesn’t hide it.
"Well… My friend seemed really uncomfortable doing it," Senjurou confessed, letting out a sigh.
"Is it Genya-kun?" Kyoujurou didn't put much mind to his reply, it slipped out, and Senjurou's ears flushed red as he stared back at his older brother in disbelief.
"I'm," Senjurou cut himself off and finishes his glass of milk, he grabbed his bag, shouting out as he took off, "I'm heading out."
"This kid," Kyoujurou laughed, and Akaza hastily called out to Senjurou, wishing him a safe trip.
"That was quite the reaction," Akaza said, amused.
"Indeed!" Kyoujurou chuckled, and Akaza approached him, leaning his chin on Kyoujurou's shoulder.
Akaza has definitely, became a lot more clingy since he turned human.
Not that Kyoujurou doesn't enjoy it, he found it very endearing.
"I'll be heading out now," he gave Akaza a quick smooch on the nose, straightened his tie and took his bag.
"Have a safe trip," Akaza smiled and accompanied him to the entryway.
"I'll be home soon," Kyoujurou gave him a smile and they shared a quick kiss as he stepped out.
When he arrives at the school, it's as if his commute was just over in a blink of an eye, although it sure wore him down a little, but he will have no time to think of that during his working hours.
And he steps into the school, waving at passing students and exchanging morning greetings.
While on his way to the teacher's office, he was caught again by the girl from the student council, and her numerous other companions, their curios prying eyes and voices.
And he was definitely brought back to that one afternoon in the student council room, where the air conditioner buzzed and he was oh so ever innocent.
The cicadas screams were replaced by the cooling weather and crimson leaves.
She tells him, words formed by a rich voice, that there has been a rumor going around.
"Sensei, have you heard that people have been saying that you're dating a guy?"
Ah, the ever-growing rumor in a school environment.
