Work Text:
Mafuyu was running late.
He’d over slept - something that never happened to him, and it’d thrown his whole morning off by five minutes. He was doing his best to make up for it - washing his hair over the side of the bath rather than taking a full shower, and only having two slices of toast instead of three.
Getting back on schedule was within reach.
He was dressed in his nurse’s scrubs, bag slung over his shoulder as he tidied his things up in the kitchen.
Mizuki, who’d woken up after he had and had a whole morning before work this afternoon, was sat on the counter; sipping at her tea as she watched him.
“Babe, relax. You aren’t going to be late - don’t you usually get in twenty minutes early anyway?” She said, swinging her legs a little.
“Yes - but I use those twenty minutes to try and somewhat plan my day and to get my midday snack from the vending machine on the 5th floor. I’m not sure fifteen minutes will be enough time.” He said, scrubbing his plate with a sponge. He hated leaving a mess behind.
Mizuki hummed, slipping off the counter; putting her cup on the spot she’d been sat in. Arms wrapped around Mafuyu’s waist from behind as she hugged him, squeezing him slightly.
“You’ll be fine.” She said, pressing two quick kisses to his cheek. “You need to relax.”
“I am relaxed.” He grumbled, turning around to face her. “I am so very relaxed.”
“Mhm, you keep telling yourself that, handsome~” She grinned, kissing him on the lips oh so softly. “Will you be home late tonight?”
“Mm… Shouldn’t be too late.” His eyes flickered to the clock in the kitchen. “Ah. I need to get going or I’ll miss my train.”
He, reluctantly, pulled away from Mizuki’s warm embrace; going out of the kitchen with Mizuki following in tow.
“Awh, leaving so soon? But I was just getting started~” She teased, leaning in the door way as he slipped his shoes on.
“I promise I’ll cuddle you extra tonight.” He said, looking at her with a gentle smile. “I should be home before nine.”
“I’ll be waiting.” She smiled softly, bringing a hand up to wave him off as he opened the door. “Oh, aren’t you forgetting something?”
He turned back, looking at her - a look of realisation flashed across his face.
“Oh. Right. Of course.” He hummed, taking the few steps towards her. His hands cupped at her cheeks, and he pulled her into a soft and sweet kiss. It only lasted a moment before he broke it, resting his forehead against Mizuki’s own. “I love you.”
Mizuki’s cheeks had dusted pink by this point.
“Ah, I meant… You need to pick up your keys.” She weakly pointed to Mafuyu’s keys which sat untouched on the unit by the door. “But - I love you too.”
Mafuyu followed her hand, cheeks turning pink as his ears flushed crimson in slight embarrassment.
“Ah. Yes. Of course. My keys.” He mumbled, making quick work of scooping them up. “Um. Goodbye, I will - see you tonight.” He said, quickly, before leaving the house.
Mizuki shook her head once the door closed behind him. Ah, he really was too cute.
