Work Text:
It was a September day, mid-afternoon, and they were driving. Baji and Chifuyu were driving to their new house. They decided it was finally time to move out of their tiny apartment in the city and move somewhere where they could stretch their limbs and be them.
Baji had earned his veterinarian degree and got a job at the practice down the road and Chifuyu could take flights out of anywhere for his job as a pilot and either way, it was only an hour's drive back into the city.
Baji was currently the one driving Chifuyu just having gotten off back-to-back flights to America and back. The poor boy was exhausted and already drifting off in the passenger seat. The house had been ready for them to move in when Chiufyu started his week rotation of constant flying so Baji had been getting the house together while he was away.
The younger was excited to see their new home in person, face timeing his partner wasn't enough at this point. All he wanted to do was do things in his house, With his boyfriend, in their space.
While their apartment was only theirs it was different having neighbors at every side of them above, below, and beside. It would be nice to have people over and do things without them having to worry about complaints and angry neighbors.
Baji had been sending him pictures all week about the progress he’s made, he hadn’t done all that much since Chifuyu wanted to have a part in unpacking and making their house too. But he had done things like putting together the bed frame and the tables and moving a few of the couches with help from Kazutora who drove out a few times to help him.
Baji looked over at Chifuyu when he came to a stop at a red light, they had stopped their small talk conversation about his week and where he went even though Baji already knew all the details from their phone calls. The younger's eyes were closed, flights to America and back were the worst for the boy. 18 hours straight of having to stay awake and aware while he did always have a co-pilot it never really made the long flights easier.
So by the time he landed he was usually ready to pass out as soon as he got into the car. As happy as he was to see his partner when they got to see each other at the airport, Chifuyu was more than ready to go to sleep even if he was excited about their new house.
Once the lights turned green the older started driving again, they were almost home. Soon enough he made the turn into their driveway. It was a nice house they had bought, secluded from the neighbors with trees. Three bedrooms once for guests and one they turned into an office for the both of them.
It has a big garage with enough room for the car and their bikes, as well as things for them to tinker on the bikes with. It was their dream home.
Baji parked the car and got out walking over to the passenger side. He opened the door and shook Chifuyu, who groaned and finally opened his eyes to see his partner. They were finally home.
“Morning hot stuff” Baji said, moving to unclip Chifuyu’s seat belt for him. “You’re finally home”
Chifuyu smiled, stepping out of the car Baji laughed at the youngers Eagerness he had seen the house before they moved their things and animals in. The older then had an idea and a subtle smirk appeared across his face. Chifuyu didn't pay any mind to his lover, just admired the thing in front of him that they had worked so hard for.
Baji then scooped the younger up, bridal style, and started to carry him towards the front door.
The younger giggled “Baji? What are you doing, kei?” He asked.
Bajis smug expression peered down at him “what it’s tradition for a man to carry his partner into their house where they’ll build their lives together” he said.
Chifuyu laughed at him, “well I’m a man too” he said “does that mean I get to carry you in here sometime?” He said. The other laughed once again, “maybe when I’m super trashed when we go Out” Baji answered.
“I’ll take that,” Chifuyu said.
Baji continued to carry his lover into their house and unlocked the door supporting Chifuyu with one arm and walked inside. Chifuyu got out of the others arms once they got inside. He could almost cry, it was beautiful.
Even with boxes scattered everywhere with their things inside, it was breathtaking.
“Awe don’t Cry babe,” Baji said, pulling him from his thoughts. Chifuyu grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss, “we have a house, our house”
“We do and it’s all ours to do whatever we want with. But only after you get some rest, I think it’s late enough in the afternoon to go to bed for the night” Baji said, putting his hands on Chifuyus waist. Just because they were finally didn’t mean he was gonna let his lover's eye bags go untended.
“I know I just wanna get started now.” Chifuyu told him.
Baji smiled “you have all week to go through the many pleasures of unpacking box after unending box and when you're done only to find more boxes but tonight let’s just rest, I already got the bedroom set up” he told him.
Chifuyu smirked “oh do you now?” He said.
“No. Well yes. That’s for another time you you fucking insomniac have just done two 18 hour flights in the last 48 hours.” Baji told him.
The younger one grabbed his hand and walked with him to the bedroom, opening the door. It was a mess to say the least but they had a bed and that was all they needed, a bed and each other.
Baji picked up the other once more and threw him onto the bed, shutting off the light and closing the door before jumping in right beside him. “Kei I have to get some pajamas on and so do you if you're so keen on sleeping with me even if it’s 7:30” he said.
The two got out of their bed and changed into their respective sleepwear, even if Chifuyu had changed into casual clothes outside of his uniform when he landed that didn’t mean he could sleep in it comfortably.
Both of them then climbed into bed after Baji spooned Chifuyu from behind, he was happy the other was finally home. There home. He couldn’t wait for their lives to grow together here, new animals. Their friends. Maybe even a kid someday.
He knew his boyfriend was excited to finally be home with him and he was happy to have him back. It was great.
Chifuyu turned around to face his boyfriend. He loved his tough heart of gold man with all of his heart. He had been dreaming about this moment since he first got together with Baji eventually moving into a house that they owned. It was the little things sometimes. That made his heart swell. He kissed him, “I’m home” he said
Baji repeated back to him “you’re home. We’re home.”
