Leaning closer, Rui began to slowly lower his head, with a clear objective in mind. His eyes, fixed on those sparkling amber orbs, were feeding on the sight of the immobile individual on the spot. Ready to delve into the sensation of a kiss, he is stopped by the warm palms effectively colliding against his mouth. “Wait—”
He tilts his head, uttering a questioning sound. His closeness obediently stops, little oblivious to Tsukasa’s request, who eventually withdraws his touch from the purple-haired boy’s face as he backs off.
“What’s wrong?” Rui inquires, on the verge of giving in to concern, when a smile appears on the blond’s lips.
“I’m eating candy” precise and short, almost proud of his own sentence; Tsukasa proclaims. The curiosity of the other only grow further, holding back the impulse to press him between the cushions, as he had originally planned.
Opting for patience, Rui buries those ideas in the back of his mind. “It’s not common for you to eat sweets” he points out, receiving a nod.
“That’s true” he confirms, savoring the sweetness on his tongue, “but I got it in school. It’s something I can’t refuse!” exclaiming, as usual, a dramatic hand falls on his chest, posing with clamor. But the genuine intrigue blooming on Rui’s features forces him to come back to reality and regain his composure.
Clearing his throat, his monologue continues. “Well, I was asked to help carry notebooks to the staff room, and they gave me the candy as a thank-you. It’s a star’s duty to help those in need!”
“That definitely sounds like Tsukasa-kun” the taller one muses. The proud smile of the named one speaks for itself; “That’s right, That's right!” he laughs, puffing out his chest with closed eyes, enjoying the recognition. Rui closes the distance again, his fingers gripping the boy’s chin. The facade collapses in the blink of an eye, and Tsukasa instantly feels the heat take hold of his cheeks.
“Then, let me…” he trails off, and before the blond can react, he feels the lips he knows so-well being pressed against his own, dismissing the previous warning blindly overboard. Tsukasa is aware of the embarrassing sound created by his throat, deteriorating as soon as Rui’s tongue deftly makes its way inside his mouth. The intrusion makes him gasp, and the opportunity to struggle evaporates as he realizes Rui’s free hand is firmly cupping his wrist.
The poor attempts to call the violet-haired’s name seem insufficient, so he begins to tug at his cardigan to regain his attention. Rui pulls away, licking his lips with an expression brimming with satisfaction. His typical chuckle echoes through Tsukasa’s ears, belatedly realizing the loss of the particular taste in his mouth.
“The piece of candy is indeed sweet, but it’s much more reasonable to opt for ramune” Rui analyzes, earning a frown from an upset blond.
“What?” he exclaims indignantly, “You just took it without permission and also are complaining?!” Tsukasa snorts, as Rui’s smirk unravels into a mock pout.
“Oh, so cruel…” The shorter one rolls his eyes, evidently distrustful. “I was giving you a very kind advice.”
“Candy and the ramune are probably the same,” he replies, “if you wanted the candy so badly, you should’ve told me from the beginning, Rui.”
The boy with golden orbs has to hold back his laughter, shaking his head in an attempt to appear serious. “You don’t understand anything.” Without further explanation, he comes closer again, even if Tsukasa does nothing more than try to escape from his grip.
“What are you talking about…”
With another sigh, he decides that surrendering is the best thing he can do at that moment. Anticipating the arrival of another kiss, he closes his eyes, and Rui hastens to comply. More gently than before, their lips plant themselves on each other’s, pressing delicately. Just before Tsukasa had a chance to settle into a rhythm and melt into the new-found sweetness of his boyfriend, Rui pulls away, leaving him hungry.
“Tsukasa-kun is quite…” Pausing a second time, he begins to rummage through words. He can begin to smell the boy’s annoyance underneath him reborn, “oblivious.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he sighs, almost sensing teasing. However, his suspicions are allayed the moment Rui rests his forehead on his.
“I wanted you, not the silly candy,” he whispers, cupping his still crimson-stained cheek. “Is it so hard to understand?” Rui’s soft gaze sends shivers down the figure lying beneath him, unable to get used to the electrifying feeling of being desired. Tsukasa doesn’t respond, wrapping his arms around the taller one’s neck and going for what he knew not only he desired.
Their lips collided in another kiss, made of pure passion. Triggering into more, it was soon an exchange of the small sweet for their tongues, progressively melting between the union of the two. Just a small part of it rested in the original owner’s mouth, stopping the session.
“I think you should’ve confessed your intentions earlier.”
Rui hummed in response, leaning onto Tsukasa’s chest. “Who was it that stopped me just as I was about to kiss him?” he asked, closing his eyes and inhaling his partner’s scent.
“That’s not my point!” he immediately protests. Only when Rui laughs, he shrugs.
“I mean, taking the candy was an excuse.”
“I think I noticed” even if his tone has traces of annoyance, a kiss is left on Rui’s forehead, with his arms are wrapped around the taller’s torso. “It all works for you as an excuse.”
With a soft sigh of joy, Rui returns the embrace, dipping his face, this time, right into Tsukasa’s neck. “Everything works for me as an excuse to pamper you” he murmurs, brushing his lips on the smooth bare skin. At the unexpected sensation, the blond is startled.
“Rui!”
Even at the utterance of his name, he doesn’t let up in his display of affection, pressing a trail of kisses across the area at his disposal. Tsukasa’s eyebrows arch as he feels him sucking hard enough to leave a mark, unable to formulate any coherent word.
“Rui…” he insists, even though his voice is nothing like a complaint. His body trembles as the stimulation increases; Rui’s cool hands sliding under his shirt, caressing his waist.
Tsukasa loses his breath, but his heart can’t take anymore when Rui comes closer to whisper in his ear. He almost chokes on saliva as he recognizes those oh-so-familiar words — “I love you”. Instead, he chokes on the forgotten candy, slipping into his throat.
Yet, no matter how much he wants to repeat the phrase, his words, and own will, are replaced by cough.
