Kaoru was a proper man. He always wore elegant clothing and hid the piercings that he hadn't removed with his hair or clothes. He was well behaved and always treated his clients with adequate manners. He lifted the corners of his mouth as he looked at himself in the mirror, fixing his loose ponytail. Proper.
Just then he heard a grunt behind him and felt arms around him.
disgusting
He gently hit Kojiro’s head, which was placed on his shoulder.
‘Watch out’ Kaoru warned ‘You’ll ruin my outfit’
‘Sorry princess’ his boyfriend rolled his eyes but released Kaoru from the hug.
Kaoru looked at his reflection once again and felt cold sweat on his back. Kojiro hasn’t dressed up yet and dark spots on his neck and chest were very exposed.
sick
‘Wow’ murmured Kojiro, unfazed by his bruises ‘Beautiful’
Kaoru felt heat on his cheeks and shoved his boyfriend, who grinned and kissed his cheek.
‘Get ready, you gorilla’ Kaoru rolled his eyes and stepped out of the bathroom. On regular basis, they both would be at work, but today they took a day off, even though he didn’t like leaving commissions and meetings for later. Of course, Kojiro managed to convince him. As always. He picked up his bag from his bedroom and went to his kitchen, which recently became Kojiro’s kingdom. Kaoru grabbed a drink, just in case, and tossed it in his bag. He looked at his kitchen again. It was never that filled with spices, vegetables or other products. His boyfriend’s doing, obviously. Kaoru leaned against the countertop. Ever since he got injured, they have been living together. Both knew that Kaoru didn’t need help anymore. He already healed enough to even skate without any problems, and yet Kojiro stayed.
unnatural
Kaoru jerked his head up and looked at his boyfriend, who just entered the room. Kojiro was wearing his favourite shirt and a tank top. Unfortunately, that meant the bruises on his neck were very well visible.
‘You’re not going to hide them, am I right?’ Kaoru pointed at his hickeys with a frown.
‘You got a problem with that, pretty boy?’ Kojiro teased but stared at him with affection.
‘I don’t care’ spat out Kaoru ‘You’re just going to embarrass yourself’
‘I’ll wear them with pride’ Kojiro leaned and kissed him ‘You ready to go?’
abnormal
‘Of course’
Kaoru stood behind Kojiro, watching him as he bought fresh vegetables and fruit. He tried to keep focused to guess what meal his boyfriend was planning to make, but his gaze kept drifting to a piercing studio on the other side of the street. He brushed his ear with his hand and touched two small studs.
He almost jumped when he felt a touch on his shoulder. Kojiro was staring at him with a puzzled look and a bag full of products in his hand.
‘You okay?’ he asked with suspicion.
‘Yes, I’m fine’ Kaoru relaxed and dropped his hand ‘I just got lost in thought’
‘Yeah, I saw that’ Kojiro took his hand and they walked out of the store ‘What were you thinking about?’
Kaoru pursed his lips, but a fast gaze towards the studio betrayed him. His boyfriend looked in the same direction and grinned.
‘You’re feeling nostalgic, huh?’
Kaoru frowned. There was hardly anything in his teenage years that he would consider nostalgic. The only thing that brought him joy was skating with Kojiro.
‘Hold on’ Kojiro stopped abruptly with a stunned expression ‘You want a piercing’
‘Firstly, I already have multiple. Secondly, I don’t know what’s wrong with that, and lastly, you don’t know that, so don’t say it like a statement’
‘Come on Kaoru, it’s written all over your face’ Kojiro rolled his eyes, but his smile softened ‘You should do it’
don’t you dare, don’t even think about it
‘Okay. I did have an idea’ Kaoru smiled and let Kojiro drag him to the studio.
Kaoru smiled, truly smiled as he looked at himself in the mirror. He lifted his upper lip and a small silver ring shined brightly.
freak
His smile dropped and he felt a pit in his stomach. Then, Kojiro came over with a grin, and he quickly relaxed his expression. He didn’t want his boyfriend to worry about him more.
‘So? Do you like it?’ Kojiro asked with that contagious smile.
‘Yeah. I just hope none of my clients will notice it’
‘You look beautiful’ Kojiro pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
ungodly
Kaoru smiled vastly and squeezed his boyfriend's hand. Luckily, Kojiro caught up quickly and he let them out of the studio. Once they were outside Kaoru took a deep breath.
‘What’s on your mind?’ Kojiro stopped on the side of the road and slightly tilted his head.
As always, he looked amazing in the sunlight. His eyes caught on light wonderfully and his hair seemed to shine. Kaoru wanted to kiss him so bad.
‘I don’t know’ Kaoru averted his gaze, knowing that trying to hide anything from Kojiro was already pointless ‘I guess it’s just a bad day. Nothing really stressfull happened’
‘You want to go home?’ Kojiro put an arm on his shoulder and studied his expression.
‘If you’re finished with shopping’ Kaoru breathed out.
Kojiro simply smiled warmly and nodded. He leaned and kissed him. It was short since they were still in public, but it made him smile.
‘OH SHIT!’
Kaoru turned his head only to see a familiar group of absolute menaces. Reki, who was the one screaming, was violently shaking Langa, who seemed to be zoning out. Miya had an exasperated expression on his face and Shadow’s mouth was wide open.
‘Fuck’ Kaoru murmured.
‘That sums it up’ his boyfriend was looking at the group with amusement ‘You’re okay with that?’
‘Well, they would have learned the truth eventually. We were holding it for months’
‘I guess’
They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Kojiro playfully nudged Kaoru with his shoulder and he saw love in his eyes.
‘Are you serious?’ Reki stopped next to them, breathing heavily after a sprint across the road ‘You’re a thing? For how long? 7 years? 7 hours? WHY HAVEN’T YOU TOLD US!?’
Kaoru was still chuckling when the rest of their group gathered around them. Reki was still bombing them with questions until Langa’s stomach growled loudly and everyone fell silent.
‘Sorry. I’m hungry’ the boy muttered.
‘Dude! I gave you my bento!’ Reki looked at him with disbelief.
‘How about Kojiro makes food for all of us, and we will answer some of your questions?’ Kaoru suggested lightly.
His boyfriend looked at him with betrayal but nodded and the whole group happily followed them to Kaoru’s apartment.
