The patter of rain echoes throughout their apartment. Rings through the shared space of their room.
Days like this are always nice. It’s quiet, peaceful.
To be wrapped in the arms of one that you love, to relish in your shared warmth while it remains cold outside.
‘It’s beautiful’ Yuji thinks.
Yuji’s hands are pressed up against his brothers’ chest. The rise and fall of Sukuna’s breathing, ever so calming. The beating of his heart, only loud enough for Yuji to hear when he’s pressed against him.
Yuji leans away from where he was nuzzled in his Sukuna’s chest, and props himself up on his elbows as he gazes down at his brothers closed eyes, and calm demeanor. The arm that was wrapped around Yuji’s chest, now falls around his waist, Sukuna’s other, under him supporting his head.
‘He always looks so peaceful when he’s resting, like this,’ he thinks, as he cards a hand through Sukuna’s hair, a fond smile curling his lips upwards, ‘almost like he’s dead.’ and Yuji try’s to not let out a giggle at his inner thoughts.
Yuji turns his attention to look at the windows, it’s still pouring outside. And he gets an idea.
“Eh, ‘Kuna are you sleeping?” Yuji asks, tone playful as he rubs Sukuna’s scalp. “Mm, No…” Sukuna grumbles as he leans into Yuji’s touch.
The sheets rustle, the bed dips, and a fleeting warmth that follows. One of Sukuna’s eyes blinks open, following Yuji’s fleeting figure by the door frame.
“Oi, where the fuck are you going?” Sukuna complains into the pillow. His left side left bare, showing off his shorts and back tattoos now visible, as the covers were tossed around. Left cold.
“Hm, Suku come on, I have a fun idea!” Yuji says, leaning on the door frame. “Mmm… what fun idea? I thought this was fun.” “Yeah, but this one’s better! Come on let’s get dressed.” “Fine. Then where the fuck are we going?” Sukuna raises a brow in question. “You’ll see, it’s not far.” Yuji walks over, and grabs Sukuna’s arm, giving a light tug for Sukuna to get up. “Come on.” God, does he love to see Yuji smile.
“’Kay now what?” Sukuna asks, arms crossed over his chest, as they now stand outside under their apartment complex. Both wearing jeans, Sukuna wearing a long sleeve shirt and Yuji wearing a regular short sleeve. “Yu, what are we doing? It’s not like we can exactly go anywhere without the car keys, and aren’t you cold, why’d you leave your hoodie inside?” Sukuna questions, knowing Yuji will be shivering in no time.
“Well, because this-” Yuji doesn’t finish as he takes off running into the rainy night, almost slipping as his shoes lose grip on the wet pavement. Sukuna can only stare and laugh as his dumb twin almost slips. Sukuna massages the side of his temple, knowing the annoyance he’ll get later. “Oh my god, Yuji, you dumbass, I’m not taking care of you if you get yourself sick!” Sukuna yells enough for Yuji to hear. “You too!” Yuji says back, wide smile on his face as he gets drenched in the rain.
“Hah, whatever.” Sukuna reasons, and runs after Yuji. Yuji stopped under a street lamp, he takes a second to catch his breath and turns around waiting for Sukuna to catch up to him when he sees him running.
Sukuna grabs Yuji, lifting him off the ground a little, and spinning them both in a circle. Yuji’s laughing the whole time. “Ha ha, I got you~” Yuji quips, as his chin rests on Sukuna’s chest looking up at him, arms circling his middle. “More like I, got you, brat.” Sukuna reassures, gazing at Yuji.
They stay like that, Yuji hugging Sukuna, and Sukuna’s hands resting around Yuji’s hips, standing under the street light.
“What now?” Sukuna asks softly after some time. “Wanna dance?” Yuji suggests.
“Seriously?” Sukuna looks at Yuji.
“Why not?” Yuji looks back. Silence passes.
And so they do. Sukuna’s hands resting on both sides of Yuji’s hips, and Yuji’s hands resting on Sukuna’s shoulders, as they sway to no beat, side stepping and moving in a small circle.
“Was this your ‘fun idea’?” Sukuna questions as they continue to sway. “And if it was?” “Hm, nothing.” Sukuna shakes his head, saying nothing more. “Is it not fun, Suku?” “No, it is, I just prefer a little something more like, this-“ Sukuna dips Yuji, one hand moving to support his back, the other still supporting his waist, as Yuji’s leg kicks out and they are face to face again.
“See?” Sukuna lifts Yuji back up. “Oh really~, let’s dance then.” Yuji has a lit tone, teasing to see what Sukuna would do next.
And after that, all they see now, is each other. The rain turns to white noise, the dampness of their clothes on their skin, an afterthought.
It was like being in a trance, nothing mattered but the person in front of them. With every twist and turn, how Sukuna would let go of Yuji’s hand, only to bring him back as quickly as he let him go.
“I love you…Sukuna.”
Moving to no rhythm, only that of their hearts beating, only gazes to guide them of their next step, all under the spotlight of that one street lamp, and for no audience but the stars.
“I love you too…brat.”
