Akito and Rui have been dating for a few months now. Overall, Rui thinks things have gone extremely well! He loves Akito very much and enjoys his company. To him, everything has been sugary sweet and full of cuddles and love.
Except for one major problem…
Akito has kept on with being formal and has been avoiding lip kissing for the entire time. Rui doesn't really mind, he can do with Akito sweetly kissing his cheek, he's more of a hugger anyways, but it would still be nice to kiss those plump rosy lips and well, not have his boyfriend call him “Kamishiro-senpai” all the time.
Rui sighs, pencil in hand and gently hitting his face with it. Ideas for robots and props have been blocked from his mind recently, his mind way too occupied thinking about Akito. He needs to do something about this now, before his mind goes crazy.
He reaches for his phone, turning it on and tapping on it as fast as he can to unlock it. He opens LINE and sends a quick text to his boyfriend, just inviting him over.
The afternoon of the next day, Akito had arrived. The taller one smiled brightly after opening his door and seeing him, and interrupted whatever he was going to say by tightly embracing him.
“K-kamishiro-senpai, don't squeeze me!” He groaned, trying to squirm out of Rui's grasp. Rui only chuckled, loosening his grip so the shorter boy would be able to look at him.
“I apologize, my dear Akito. It seems I was too excited to see you. Fufu~ hope you didn't mind.” Akito's cheeks flush at the nickname, playfully hitting Rui’s chest with his hand.
“Stop, don't call me that…”
Rui helps Akito through the scattered robot pieces and mechanisms to take him to the couch, he smiles and pulls the ginger's jacket a little, making him directly sit down on his legs. Akito shifts around while sitting, his nervousness being pretty obvious now that he's face to face with Rui.
“Kamishiro-senpai…” He starts, but he quickly gets interrupted by Rui.
“I need to speak to you, Akito.” He starts, holding his hands dearly. “About a certain thing… well, two certain things that you keep doing that I'm not particularly fond of.”
The ginger tilts his head, confused, maybe even worried. Rui knows Akito doesn't take confrontation well, not only because it hurts him, but also because it can make him mad. However, Rui can also acknowledge Akito can take confrontation and constructive criticism when it comes from a place of love, and when it comes from a person he sees as important.
“It's about this whole… “Kamishiro-senpai” thing, my love.” He chuckles, watching as Akito tenses up. “You're my boyfriend, you can't keep calling me that.”
Akito frowns. “Ah, that… It's just… force of habit, I guess.” He shrugs. “I've come to respect you so much, just callin’ you ‘Rui’ feels… Rude… That doesn't happen with Ken-san though…” His lips make a grimace. “I don't know, actually…”
“I see. And the other thing.” He chuckles, using one of his hands to cup Akito's face, his thumb gently brushing against his cheek. Akito gulps, getting a bit more nervous than he was before. “The kiss thing.”
“Oh.” His cheeks flush again. “I… Well…I don't know…” he fidgets with Rui's jacket, this was too much for him. “I’m sorry…”
“You don't have to apologize, my love.” He smiles. “I just want to understand, why do you avoid it?” He leans in, feeling as Akito shudders. “You kiss my cheek so sweetly, so I want to know. Is it too much for you?”
“Kamishi— R-Rui-senpai…” Rui holds in a chuckle. Not quite what he wanted, but it's progress. Plus, Akito seems awfully adorable, his cheeks and ears red from the embarrassment. “I don't know… maybe?”
“I can take the initiative, If it helps.” He puts Akito's hands on his shoulders and his own hands on Akito's waist. “Maybe you need a little help.”
Akito doesn't respond, he just freezes there, too nervous to say anything. He just nods, and looks away, avoiding Rui's gaze.
Rui leans in slowly, not wanting to pressure his love too quickly. His hands firmly hold him in place, starting to plant sweet, chaste kisses on his face. Akito allows him too, tensing a little as his kisses start getting closer to his mouth.
“Can I?” Akito's cheeks flush again. He avoids Rui's gaze, only to then squeeze shut his eyes and nod.
“Y-yeah… ‘s fine…”
Rui nods and finally pecks his lips, once, twice and then again and again. He is sweet, he is gentle. Then, finally, he presses his lips against Akito's.

“R-Rui— mmf—” Akito's whimpers and sounds get muffled by Rui's mouth. He ends up gripping the older boy’s shoulder, even if he's not trying to push him away or anything. Rui, on his side, deepens the kiss, maybe out of selfishness or because he wants Akito to get used to more than just sweet pecks on the lips. Akito ends up breaking the kiss to breathe, his lips as red as his cheeks and his eyes a bit watery. “Rui-senpai…”
“It's progress, I suppose.” He smiles, petting the fluffy ginger hair. Akito crosses his arms, a bit annoyed.
“That was too much, too quick. What kind of Senpai are you? Seriously…” He grumbles and looks away from Rui’s gaze, the taller one can't help but chuckle at how adorable his boyfriend can be.
“I apologize, my dear. I am just very delighted to be able to finally kiss you.” He hugs the ginger's hips, leaning in a little. Akito sighs, returning his gaze to Rui. “The stage was set perfectly for us.”
“For you, maybe.” He huffs. “You were so aggressive.”
“Really? I thought I was being gentle.” He laughs. “I didn't think I was aggressive with you at all, my love. Or perhaps you just lack practice?”
“Y-yeah but… You were still aggressive…” Akito grumbles. Rui can only coo at him, loving how cute his boyfriend is. “Rui-senpai, stop…”
“Fufu~ I'm sorry, Akito.” He takes one of the ginger's hands on his, kissing the knuckles sweetly. “I just love you a lot.”
“I love you too, idiot.” He smirks, completely changing demeanors. “Buuut, now you owe me pancakes!”
“How come…?” Rui smiles, he knows Akito takes any opportunity to ask for pancakes.
“Because you ate my mouth like an animal, that's why.” He pouts. “So, pancakes.”
“Fine, fine.” The tall one chuckles. “I'll take you out on a date for pancakes one of these days.”
