The brightness of the sun fell onto Ryuunosuke’s eyes, making him crinkle them and hide his face into the soft covers of his bed. That always annoyed him, the sun. But ever since he got into a relationship with Atsushi, all of that changed. He learned to appreciate the world around him a little bit more, the sun included.
It was hard not to embrace it, considering that Atsushi always seemed to be one with the sun, going as far as basking in it in their apartment, acting like a cat that’s sunbathing in front of the window. Ryuunosuke secretly found it to be endearing, but it’d be a lie if he said that he didn’t find everything Atsushi did endearing.
Sometimes, Ryuunosuke thinks Atsushi isn’t human. An angel would suit his description much better. With this thought in mind, Ryuunosuke uncovered his face, slowly turning to stare at the silver-haired boy next to him. The sun’s hitting his face at a perfect angle, his skin glowing underneath the sunlight.
If someone were to ask Ryuunosuke what heaven looked like, he wouldn’t hesitate to say Atsushi’s name. With the way that his hair is shining underneath the sun, the white sheets covering his lightly tanned skin, he looks out of this world beautiful. He looks like a mythical being in the best way possible. Ryuunosuke’s lips twitched into a small smile, his eyes roaming his partner’s face, wanting every feature of Atsushi’s to be woven into his memory, to never be forgotten.
Slowly, Ryuunosuke moved his hand from underneath the covers and moved them towards Atsushi’s face. For a second, Ryuunosuke’s fingers twitched, almost rethinking what he was doing. Finally, after a quick moment of hesitation, Ryuunosuke softly placed his hand upon Atsushi’s cheek, caressing the warm skin underneath it. Atsushi subconsciously leaned into the touch, slightly readjusting his sleeping position.
Ryuunosuke’s heart stopped for a minute. He thought that he woke Atsushi up for a moment, that being the last thing that he wanted to happen. Ryuunosuke breathed out a sigh of relief and continued to thumb against the soft skin of his partner, smiling at the peaceful expression etched upon his skin. Mentally, Ryuunosuke began counting the freckles that rested across Atsushi’s nose, once, twice, and even a third time. Every time he counts it seems like a new one appears out of nowhere. Ryuunosuke moved his hands to Atsushi’s hair, separating the tresses and brushing his fingers through them.
Atsushi’s hair was always perfectly soft, and it had the scent of warm vanilla that lingered on Ryuunosuke’s bedsheets long after Atsushi leaves to work. That’s another thing that Ryuunosuke grew to love too. Vanilla. Sometimes Ryuunosuke uses the same products that Atsushi uses. Atsushi tends to point out that fact, but Ryuunosuke always denies it, saying that Atsushi is wrong. Atsushi laughs, he knows that Ryuunosuke is lying, but he never brings it up afterward.
Ryuunosuke smiles at the memory, Atsushi’s laugh filling his ears once more, almost like he was reliving the memory.
What a beautiful soul.
Ryuunosuke brings his hand down to Atsushi’s jaw, tracing the bone until he reaches down to his neck, drawing patterns atop of the mole he has on there. Atsushi shivers at the touch, Ryuunosuke breathes out a small laugh. Atsushi’s neck is as sensitive as ever. Ryuunosuke had found out about this sensitivity through a movie night that they had. Ryuunosuke had his head in the crook of Atsushi’s neck, his hair tickled the side of it, causing Atsushi to let out a giggle. Ryuunosuke’s eyes widened at the sound, and both he and Atsushi turned to face each other at the same time, a similar expression on each of their faces. The moment was comical. Atsushi found out something new about himself, and Ryuunosuke learned about it right alongside him.
That happens a lot, now that Ryuunosuke thinks about it. They always seem to learn something new about themselves when they’re near each other. It’s one of Ryuunosuke’s favorite things, not that he’d ever say it aloud. Atsushi knows anyway, he always does.
Ryuunosuke snapped back into reality after he heard the sheets shuffle next to him. Ryuunosuke focused his eyes onto Atsushi’s, whose half-lidded ones peered right back at him. Ryuunosuke flushed at the sight. He looks perfect right now. His ametrine eyes shone at the sight of Ryuunosuke, making his heart melt into a puddle at the sight.
Ryuunosuke caressed Atsushi’s neck once more and smiled slightly at him.
“Good morning,” Ryuunosuke rasped out.
Atsushi yawned and leaned closer into Ryuunosuke’s space.
“G’morning,” Atsushi replied softly, resting his head on Ryuunosuke’s chest. He’s never talkative in the morning, Ryuunosuke notices. He only ever speaks when needed to, other than that he’s usually just processing the things around him, and staying near the opened windows.
He really was a cat.
Ryuunosuke ran his fingers through Atsushi’s hair once more, placing a kiss on the top of his head. Atsushi hummed happily at the action, sending vibrations through Ryuunosuke’s chest.
Ryuunosuke smiled at his reaction, pulling the younger male closer to his body.
“Yeah,” Ryuunosuke smiled, “he’s an angel indeed.”
