Work Text:
Me and Akutagawa have been dating and living with each other for around a year now; and oh boy it's been wild at the agency since I've announced it. Dazai is constantly on my back asking me if Akutagawa is treating me right, and telling me I deserve better. I never thought Dazai would be so concerned for me... Kyouka seems a bit wary about mine and Akutagawa's relationship, but overall she's very supportive. Maybe even a bit too supportive at times. Dazai somehow convinced her to buy me and Akutagawa socks with our faces on it for our anniversary last year... And for this year's anniversary she got us a massive pride flag to put in our house. I often question where she gets the money from, but I usually decide not to ask. The rest of the agency has also been supportive, but some of the remarks they make can be concerning... Especially when Ranpo tries to ask me about our sex life. But in all honesty, I'm happy with the way things turned out; even though sometimes I get concerned for my co-workers mentallity.
I sighed and leaned back in my office chair, another hour before I could go home to see Akutagawa. He seemed rather ill this morning, but he insisted that he was fine and that I shouldn't worry so much about him; but I can't help it, I can't help but worry about him, he is my lover after all. The last hour at the office felt like an eternity. I had finished most of my work, but Kunikida insisted that I stayed until my shift had finished. So I just stayed so he wouldn't get upset with me. The sun had started to set and it was finally time to head back home. I quickly gathered my things and rushed through the door. All I could think about was Akutagawa, god I hate to see him ill. Usually I would walk back home to get some exercise, but today I took the bus. I need to make sure Akutagawa is okay. I told him to take the day off work today, but he probably hasn't listened to me. I love him so much, but if he keeps trying to power through stuff like this when he obviously can't, he's going to get seriously ill one day. As soon as the bus reaches my stop, I exit quickly so I can get home as soon as possible. If he's gone to work today, im going to have to start keeping him in bed until he promises me that he won't leave.
I reach our house after walking for approximately 5 minutes. I put my keys in the lock and opened the door swiftly. I carefully placed all of my belongings near the door and headed upstairs to our shared bed. I opened the door slowly so I didn't startle Akutagawa. As I looked in the room, I saw Akutagawa snuggled up in a ball on the bed. It was an adorable sight. I sat next to him on the bed and caressed his head gently. "I'm home Akutagawa. Are you feeling any better? Did you go to work?" I kept my voice soft and low so he could feel more relaxed. He definitely looked better than this morning, but he was obviously still ill. "I'm fine. I've been fine since this morning." He insisted that he was fine, but I could see right through his facade. Akutagawa spoke up again. "And no I didn't go to work today... I'm ashamed." I felt relieved that he didn't go to work today, though he didn't seem too happy about it. I'm just glad that he actually listened to me. I patted his back and grabbed the medicine I left on the bedside table before I left. I quickly ran to the kitchen to get a spoon and ran back just as fast. I carefully poured the medicine on to the spoon, and handed it to akutagawa when he sat up. He drank the medicine instantly and handed me back the spoon. I placed the medicine and the spoon on the bedside table. I sat next to him again and he wrapped his arms around me. Therefore I did the same and wrapped my arms around him. Akutagawa has always preferred to use actions rather than words, but Im okay with that; I always have been okay with that. I could tell that Akutagawa was tired, so I lay down next to him and and he crawled into my arms and rested his head on my chest. We stayed like that until we both eventually fell asleep. No one else gets to see Akutagawa vulnerable like this, and I'm glad that I'm the person who does.
