Laughing out you threw yourself back, your head landing in Kusukes lap.
The wine glass in your hand was dangerously near to toppling over. You let him take it from you and place it onto the table without complaining.
“And this woman seriously had the audacity to ask me: ‘What are those hideous creatures? Why are their necks so long? And are those horns?’”, You roared, waving your hands around gesticulating.
Unconsciously his fingers found their way into your hair, pushing some stray strands out of your face.
Your eyes, meeting his, were shining a little from the tears you laughed. He grinned at you, laying there tipsy and giggly and your face all red.
“Where is she from? No-Giraffe-Land?”, you heard him snicker above you.
The sound of your giggle filled the room again.
“Right?! She programmed one of the best Pathfinder-AIs on this planet, but she doesn’t even know what Giraffes are?!”
You huffed and shook your head. “Really, how did she even get that job?!”
“Probably fucked the recruitment committee.”
You scrunched your nose in faked disgust. “Ew, that was definitely a really ugly orgy.”, you laughed.
“You should be glad they took you without any… extra work.”
“At least with me, you could sell that as a porno.”
“That wouldn’t make much, don’t overestimate yourself.”
You shoot him a challenging look.
“Sure… You’re just jealous you weren’t on that committee when I applied there. I never guessed you as having such strange fantasies.”
He leaned in closer to you, hushing his voice.
“I don’t need to be on any committee to live out my fantasies with you.”, He grinned.
You nearly choked on your own tongue, your face heating up bright red, as Kusuke laughed at your reaction. That Idiot really loved to make you blush.
“Ok, ok. You win this round.” But you still laughed with him, rubbing your hands over your face to get rid of your blushing cheeks.
Kusuke pulled them away, grinning.
“No, no, no, that’s cheating.”
You huffed at him, fighting the urge to turn your face away for his eyes.
But oh well, you would let him have his fun, so with a sigh, you looked back up at him.
You two stayed like this for a while. Looking into each other’s eyes, smiling, as silence enveloped you.
You stretched out your hand to softly caress his cheek. He leaned into the touch, as your thump drew little circles over his skin.
It was comfortable like that.
“I should give you a haircut soon. Your hairs getting really long lately.”, You whispered eventually, your voice suddenly sounding too loud for the room.
“I can just go to a barber.”
“No, I really like doing it.”
“Ok good, but please don’t make me look hideous”
“Like a Giraffe?”
“What’s a Giraffe?” He asked, daring and sarcastically.
You broke out into laughter again, sitting yourself back up to hold onto the backrest of the couch.
“Stop it, you’re going to kill me!” you huffed out in between giggles.
You heard Kusuke laugh softly behind you, as you tried to catch your breath again.
When you could breathe again, you sat back normally on the couch.
Still smiling, you picked up your glass again, taking a sip. Kusuke watched you intently as you put it back, licking your lips clean from the red wine.
How could you enchant him so much even after so many years?
When his gaze shifted from your lips back to your eyes you looked at him questioning.
“Something wrong?”
He had to laugh.
“No, It’s just…” He shook his head smiling to himself. No, nothing could be wrong when you were here.
You cocked your head to the side, still looking confused, while he just chuckled.
With one last sip, he emptied his own wine glass and set it down on the table next to yours, before he scooted closer to you, your legs touching softly now.
He laid his hand on your cheeks, cubing your face and bringing it closer to his. You watched him with your confused smile, your eyes on his, but you wouldn’t stop him.
His breath fanning your face felt warm and inviting, as you leaned in.
You closed your eyes as your lips met.
It didn’t matter how often he kissed you, his heart would always pick up its pace and his fingertips tingled as they wandered from your cheeks to your sides and then to your back, to pull you closer to him.
Your own hands found their way into his hair, sending little shivers down his spine.
You heard him sigh contently as you deepened the kiss, licking his lips to push your tongue past them.
You could taste the wine on his tongue, a little bit acidic but sweet.
When you eventually parted you stayed in this embrace, taking a moment to catch your breath again. His hand found its way to your cheek again, brushing aside some strands of hair that had gotten lost.
Your face was red and your eyes wide. He liked that sight.
“I love you”, He smiled, genuine and true.
You chuckled softly, a little breathless.
“Oh No, the great Dr. Saiki got feelings? The end of the world has finally arrived!”
He rolled his eyes at you, laughing again.
“Good, I don’t care about this world anyway.”
