Rohan pokes his egg yolk with a fork and lets it dribble over his sourdough toast. "My dream was so weird last night."
"Yeah?"
Josuke puts two spoonfuls of wilted spinach on top of Rohan's toast. It gets him a scowl. In return, Rohan gets a mocking kissy face.
"You remember that time we went to the lighthouse? We went a week or two after your graduation."
"Just say first date, Rohan. It's okay." Rohan rolls his eyes.
"Fine. Our first date. I saw us sitting on that bench. I was drawing and you were eating Pocky and trying to put your arm around me." He pauses to take a bite of his breakfast. "You looked so damn dumb and red but apparently I thought that was cute."
"Mmhm."
"So I came out of nowhere. We were so surprised and whipped out our stands."
Josuke raises his brows. "What?"
"What what ?"
"I thought you were sitting next to me."
"Oh yeah I was." Rohan forks some spinach off his toast and puts it on Josuke's plate. "But that was… twenty two years old me. The one who walked to us both is me right now."
"So you're looking at yourself from a third point of view… as yourself."
"Yeah."
"Creepy." Josuke eats the spinach given to him with a slice of toast.
"Anyway, then I showed you that I have HD too, that it was indeed me, as I quote, 'the man of your dreams'," Josuke wrinkles his nose, "and how foolish of you for not making the first move and instead, waiting for so long until you can take me to your bed because you thought I was not interested in that."
"Well--"
"And then I taunt my younger self, how stupid of me for not inviting you first when I had a massive home, so many rooms to fuck in, and so much time before you went to uni but no, I had to wait until I couldn't take it anymore and had to book a train to see you in your dormitory."
And it only took them six months until they did it. Josuke had to beg his roommate to sleep somewhere else for one night. It went just okay. They improved during the second and third trials.
Josuke nods. "Yes, that was so dumb of you. Dumb of us."
"And I told myself that head to toe white is a terrible look. Then I can't remember what happened. Maybe our past selves fuck in the lighthouse, I don't know."
"That actually sounds pretty cool."
They resume their breakfasts in silence. Josuke is holding back a cringe remembering their first time in his dorm room. Rohan bumped his head against the wall. He dropped the condom onto the floor. Josuke's groan when Rohan dug his nails into his back was not out of pleasure. Now they bite and scratch each other every time.
"You're staring." Josuke takes his last bite.
Rohan hums. "So… that lighthouse thing."
"I don't think so." He gathers their empty plates and kisses the top of Rohan's head.
