Work Text:
Every day felt like the same for Doppo Kannonzaka. Wake up, get on the train, go to work, go overtime, get home, drag yourself to bed, rinse and repeat. That's all his life felt like. Work work work.
Though this night was different. By some miracle, Doppo managed to get out of work, not on time, but early. He was so thankful for these days. These were the times where he could spend a few hours with Hifumi before he had to work at his host club.
Doppo walked into the decently sized apartment and put his briefcase on the dining room table. "I'm home" he called out.
Hifumi practically ran out of his room and hugged Doppo from behind. "Doppochinnn! What are you doing home so early?" he beamed with joy.
"I managed to get all my stuff done before my co-workers threw their work onto my pile." After Hifumi let go, he slipped off his jacket and threw it onto the couch.
Hifumi's eyes brightened as a smile crept onto his face. Doppo caught on to this sudden change. "Oh god, what the fuck are you thinking?"
"Doppochin should come to the host club with meee!~" he grabbed onto Doppo's hands. "Whaddya say? Come onnn, please please please please pl-"
"Aghhhh, alright alright, but you have to make me omurice tomorrow morning if i do. Deal?" Hifumi smiled. "Deal!"
Hey, beauty girl, how much do you truly love me? 10,000 yen? 100,000 yen? 1,000,000 yen? 1,230,000 yen? Please don't overdo it.
The loud music blared as Doppo sat at the table and watched all the girls surround Hifumi. Though he doesn't show it, he truly is amazed that Hifumi can become a whole new person with that dumb grey jacket of his.
Hey, pretty cat, are you going to stay by my side even after knowing my past?
"For the night, I am yours, kitten!~" Hifumi said charmingly as he held a patron's hand. Doppo was already regretting this. Every time he would come and see Hifumi talking to his guests, something about it just made him upset. Why though? Hifumi didn't belong to him or anything. They weren't dating, just friends. Doppo had assumed that Hifumi was straight a long time ago, and that he had no chance of him reciprocating the feelings he held down.
Drunkness arriving on champagne, stopping your mouth. Our eyes meeting at length by chance. Can you see the real me?
Hifumi and Doppo made eye contact as Hifumi was surrounded by women swooning over him. He smiled widely at Doppo. He gave him a weak smile in return. Doppo sipped on his champagne and sighed as he checked his phone to try and avoid his jealousy.
One and only, Number 1 GIGOLO! There's no way you won't fall in love! A jewel-like beauty on top of that, my fingers are dextrous. Everyone's so jealous by my perfection.
Hifumi was dancing with his guests, spreading out his time to get to all of them. He danced over to the table that Doppo was sitting at. "Doppochin!" Before Doppo could even look up at him, Hifumi had grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the table.
He rested his hands on Doppo's shoulders and smiled. "Dance with me!" Doppo's eyes widened as a slight blush appeared across his face. Hifumi took him by hand and helped guide him throughout the dance. Hifumi was well aware that Doppo was never the best dancer, though he wanted this moment regardless.
TPO, I'm locking onto you, shall we start? Let's start this endless party party party!
Hifumi danced and spun him around the room before letting go and moving on to his next customer. Doppo let his back fall against the wall as he held his hands together and watched Hifumi.
Don't stop the party! With my magic, I'll make your pain disappear.
As Hifumi danced with his other guests, he still kept his eyes on Doppo. As Doppo noticed, Hifumi gave him a wink, making Doppo's face grow redder than before. Hifumi then looked away.
After the song was over, Hifumi gave a bow to his guests, and walked back over to Doppo. "Didja like that?" he gave his signature charming smile.
Don't stop the party! I'll stay like this, I won't leave you.
Hours had passed, the guests had left as the club was closing for the night. All that remained was Hifumi, Doppo, and a few other hosts that were preoccupied with cleaning up their areas.
Hifumi sat down at the table with Doppo. "Sorry if this was a bore for you, Doppochin! I'm glad you came with me!" Doppo gave a light smile. "Of course, Hifumin." He looked to the side. "Gotta say though, all those girls surrounding you, makes me a little jealous, heh." Doppo's eyes widened as he realized what he had just said. "Wait no, I didn't mean it like!- Ah, I'm sorry.." He covered his mouth with his hand and slouched down a bit.
It's fate, it's inevitable, it's destiny. You won't see anyone but me.
"Hahaha! Silly Doppochin! There's no need."
No pain, no suffering, no worries. I'll make them all disappear.
He gently placed his hand on top of Doppo's.
"My heart has always belonged to you. I've just been waiting for you to take it." Doppo darted his head back to look at him, his face redder than ever. "Wh… what..?"
From heart to body to pores, I'll let you do as you like. So come here, It'll be fine, come closer.
"I love you, Doppochin, I always have. Do you truly think I think of anything that happens here as romantic?"
"I…"
Hifumi got up and grabbed his hand. "One more dance before we clean up?" Words couldn't escape Doppo's mouth, he felt as though this was just his imagination. Though the warmth of Hifumi's hand caressing his proved otherwise. He nodded gently and got up.
Don't stop the party! With my magic, I'll make your pain disappear.
They held each other close and swayed their bodies together to the slowness of the song playing. In that moment, it felt like nobody else existed, like nothing else existed. No worries, no pain. The only thing that was present in that moment was the warmth of their bodies together.
Don't stop the party! I won't let you leave tonight.
Doppo rested his head on Hifumi's shoulder as they continued to move slowly. "How long..?" he managed to let out.
"Probably since high school. You were the only person to stand up to the people who bullied me. You were always there when nobody else was. How long have you felt this way?"
"The same as you.." Doppo held him tightly as tears started to form out of the corners of his eyes. "You're the only person in this world who hasn't left my pessimistic ass… even after all this time…"
Party, don't end! When I'm with you, my heart melts!
Hifumi lifted Doppo's head up and wiped away his tears. "I could never leave my Doppochin!" they both smiled.
Party, don't end!
Is it love? I'd like that.
Hifumi leaned in slightly and kissed him. They both melted into the kiss as they each rested their hands on the other's face.
They pulled away, both blushing heavily. "I love you, Hifumin."
"I love you too, my prince."
