Work Text:
If Kanae had to rate this morning, he'd give it a 7 out of 10. Objectively, it's a good start to the day - waking up before the alarm rings, indulging in the warmth and comfort of his sleeping lover's arms until the alarm goes off, then rolling out of bed to prepare a simple breakfast for the both of them. Calling it breakfast may be a stretch though - it's past 11 by the time Kuzuha settles at the dining table to eat the freshly-made french toast, paired with his usual cup of hot cocoa.
Today, they have separate schedules, with Kuzuha's first appointment at noon, while Kanae only has to clock in at 3 in the afternoon. So he could have slept in a little longer, but then Kuzuha would've ended up going to work on an empty stomach, and we can't have that! Love is sacrifice , as they say.
The brunet sighs as he hears his partner fumbling around in the bedroom, somehow turning a simple task of "changing clothes" into such a complicated chore. His ears pick up a string of curses after a dull thud - knowing Kuzuha, he probably stubbed his toe against the dressing table. Again.
Minutes later, the vampire emerges from the bedroom, looking more haggard than he was earlier, but with nicer clothing. He'd put on a simple dark blue turtleneck and skinny jeans, with a matching black cardigan to go over the outfit. Earrings are simple black studs today, a good contrast against his pale skin and silver hair. And as usual, a long silver necklace with a ring attached lies over his heart (or where his heart would be if he were human).
"Mhm, you look good today too!" Kanae singsongs, reaching up to comb through Kuzuha's hair with his fingers in an attempt to smooth down the tousled bed hair. Kuzuha stills, tilting his head forward obediently so the brunet has better access. It'll probably just get messy again once he leaves though, considering the windy autumn weather outside.
"Okay, done! Better get going, your Uber's already here," Kanae gives the silver strands a final pat, tamping down the urge to ruffle his cute pomeranian's hair just moments after fixing it.
"Thanks," Kuzuha mumbles sleepily, shuffling to the doorway to put his socks and shoes on. Back facing Kanae, he doesn't realize the other had returned to the living room to quickly grab something.
Just as he reaches for the door handle, Kanae calls out from behind.
"Ku~zu~ha!"
"Hm?"
He turns around to see his lover grinning mischievously, looking at him expectantly.
"Did you forget anything today?"
Eyebrows raised at the sudden question, Kuzuha racks his sleep-addled brain for the answer. Something he forgot? Not the work documents, his manager was bringing them. Not his scarf either – the weather's not cold enough. Then what...
Ah, that .
Stepping forward, he tugs Kanae closer by the waist, gently cupping a cheek with his other hand and presses a kiss against soft lips.
"?!"
A surprised huff leaves Kanae, but doesn't escape as Kuzuha swallows the sound, greedy for more. They continue for a minute, basking in each other's presence until Kanae finally breaks free, gasping for air. His cheeks are tinted a pretty shade of pink, lips glistening with spit. Kuzuha fares no better, flush showing even more obviously on pale skin, especially his neck and ears.
Letting go of Kanae’s waist, the vampire grouches, while pinching his cheek, “That should be enough, right?”
Kanae takes a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He then pulls a hand out from behind his back, revealing Kuzuha's work iPhone. "Actually, you forgot this on the dining table..."
"...Eh?" Kuzuha's brain stalls, clearly incapable of processing information at this hour.
The human dissolves into a fit of giggles, embarrassed but also very pleased.
"Thank you for the morning kiss, Kuu-chan ♡"
