Work Text:
“I just think food tastes better when we eat together. Is that really so strange?” The others have been teasing him all night about how excited he was that they were able to eat out together. But Taki is buzzing with energy. And he can’t contain his affection. It’s been so long since the nine of them got together like this. Too long.
Fuma, sitting next to Taki in the van, smiles and squeezes his thigh. “Okay, we get it, you love us.” Taki rests his head on Fuma’s shoulder, he’s always so warm and comfy.
Yuma laughs but doesn’t look up from his phone. “Right. He’s obsessed with us. Taki-chan is our biggest fan. He probably saves all the selfies we post.”
Taki sits up and turns to look at Yuma, blushing a little at the way he called him ‘Taki-chan’. “Is that a bad thing?”
Sitting on the other side of Taki, K puts his arm around him and pulls him close. “Hey, stop teasing him. It’s not Taki’s fault that we’re all so lovable. And handsome. And kissable.”
Somehow, it feels like K is teasing him more than anyone and Taki’s cheeks start to burn.
“It’s true though” EJ smiles kindly at Taki. “It’s been too long since we were together like this.”
Taki’s eyes light up. Finally, someone who gets it! He turns around and blows EJ a kiss, giggling. “This is why I love you!”
“Uh-oh, better be careful, you’ll make K jealous if you pick a new favorite.” Yuma is holding his phone up, apparently taking a photo of K as he says this.
Taki practically flings himself into K’s lap and throws his arms around his neck. “Nooo, I love K-hyung too!” He plants a kiss on K’s lips with a smile. Kissing K feels as natural as breathing.
K laughs and shakes his head. “I can’t claim Taki for myself, he has too much love to give to focus on just one person.”
Yuma lowers his phone. “Yeah, I guess so.”
Fuma pulls Taki out of K’s lap, making him sit upright. “Stay in your seat. We’re almost at the hotel, then you can kiss anyone you want.”
“But I want to kiss you now!” Taki giggles and leans into Fuma, kissing his lips without hesitation. “You don’t mind, right?” Fuma’s lips are always so fluffy, like a pillow.
Laughing, Fuma gently pats Taki’s head. “You’re impossible.”
Taki sticks his tongue out at Fuma. He can’t help it, he really just wants to shower everyone with affection tonight. When they arrive at the hotel Taki can barely contain his excitement. He jumps out of the van after Fuma, clinging to his back.
Yuma comes up behind Taki and pulls him off of Fuma. Turning around, Taki sees Maki getting out of the other van. He rushes over to him without a word and grabs his face, pulling him in for a kiss right there in the parking lot. It’s dark, so no one is likely to see, not that he really cares about that anyway.
“Uh…what was that for?” Maki gives Taki a confused look and starts to look around, like he’s expecting this to be some kind of prank or secret challenge that’s being filmed.
“Just felt like showing you my love. Everyone gets a Taki kiss tonight!”
“You need help, you’re addicted to kissing.” Laughing, Maki turns to Harua as he gets out of the van. “Watch out, Taki’s kissing everyone.”
Harua looks at Taki and sighs. “Nothing new there.”
Nico steps out after Harua and smiles. “He better be careful. Someone might kiss him back.”
Taki laughs and jumps into Nico’s arms enthusiastically. “You?” Without waiting for a response, Taki kisses Nico.
Smiling, Nico wraps his arms around Taki and leans forward, like he’s about to kiss Taki back, but pulls away at the last second. “Nope, not me.”
Shrugging, Taki turns his attention to Harua. Kissing him is nothing new, but he still gets a little thrill every time he does it. Harua is just such a tsundere, it’s too fun. Like right now, he’s giving him a look that clearly says ‘you’ll regret this’ but he knows he doesn’t mean it. Grinning, Taki pounces, kissing Harua’s pouty lips.
“You’re the worst.” Harua is glaring, but there’s also a smile forming on the corner of his lips. And his voice is filled with affection.
“I love you too!” Taki laughs and nuzzles Harua’s cheek with his nose.
Taki hears Jo laughing quietly behind him. Turning, he sees him standing next to Yuma. He also sees that EJ is heading towards the hotel on his own. The others must have already gone inside. Calling out across the parking lot, Taki starts running towards EJ. “Wait! That kiss in the van didn’t count!”
EJ stops immediately and turns around, his face red. “Please, Taki! Don’t yell that kind of thing.”
But Taki doesn’t care. He just uses the opportunity to give EJ a kiss. His lips are so soft and welcoming, it makes Taki feel all warm and fuzzy. “Ok! I won’t yell about kissing you now.”
Nico laughs as he puts his arm around EJ. “Don’t worry, no one is paying attention to us. And if they were, they’d just think Taki is being silly.” EJ’s face is still red as Nico pulls him inside the hotel, leaving Taki and the others outside.
Yuma puts his hand on Taki’s shoulder and squeezes. “You really are like a puppy. Is there anyone you don’t like kissing?”
Taki pretends to consider Yuma’s question as he looks at Jo. “Hmm….”
“Me?” Jo raises his eyebrows a little, clearly unsure if he should take what Taki is suggesting seriously. He actually looks worried for a moment, so Taki has to fix that right away. With a little hop, Taki gives Jo a quick kiss.
“Nope, I like kissing all of you.” Taki especially likes kissing Jo because he always gets so embarrassed.
“Jo, your ears are so red. You must like kissing Taki a lot.” Harua pokes Jo’s side playfully, and his ears get even brighter.
Yuma pushes Taki inside the hotel lobby. “Okay, come on, that’s enough playing around for one night.” The four of them walk to the elevator, Jo shyly covering his ears with his hands.
“Oh, wait.” Jo looks at his phone and then outside. “I promised I’d send a selfie. I want to take a few outside. You two go ahead.”
“Will you take some photos of me too? And we can take a few together…if you want.” Harua shrugs as he says this, like he doesn’t care either way, but Taki suspects he actually cares quite a lot.
“Yeah, that will be fun.” Jo nods, and they leave Taki and Yuma in front of the elevator as they head back outside.
“Hmm, I should share some too. I took a few earlier.” Taki pulls his phone out to check the selfies, considering which ones he should post. When the elevator finally arrives, Yuma presses the button for their floor, which is great because Taki already forgot which one was theirs.
“You have a great memory. I always forget the room number. But I don’t have to worry if I’m with Yuma!”
“Yeah, your memory sucks. It’s only been a couple minutes and you already forgot something super important.” Yuma leans back against the wall as the elevator starts to move.
“Hm? I did?” Taki thinks he knows what Yuma means. Actually, he didn’t forget. But….
“Yeah. You said ‘everyone’ right?” Yuma points to his lips as he says this.
Taki hesitates for a moment, a little nervous, which is silly because he’s kissed Yuma before, just like the others. And he said ‘everyone’. He did. That was the plan. But Yuma is…he’s just so pretty. Steeling himself, Taki walks over to Yuma and kisses his lips. But when he pulls back Yuma grabs the back of his neck and holds him there.
The second Yuma touches his neck Taki’s heart jumps. Yuma’s grip is so tight, it almost hurts, but for some reason Taki doesn’t mind.
“You look surprised. You always tease, and then when you get a response, you act like this.” Yuma almost sounds angry. But he’s smirking, so Taki isn’t sure how to read whatever this is. He wants to say something, but he feels paralyzed as Yuma’s breath tickles his lips.
Then he feels Yuma’s tongue pressing against his lips, and Taki opens his mouth to let him in. He doesn’t know why Yuma is doing this. He doesn’t know anything right now except that it feels so good having Yuma’s tongue in his mouth.
Yuma’s other hand reaches around to Taki’s back, slipping under his shirt. Taki lets himself be pulled closer to Yuma as he presses his hand into his back. He wants to touch Yuma too. He reaches a hand up and gently caresses Yuma’s cheek. So soft. Then he moves his body a little, so that Yuma’s thigh can rest between his legs. He’s too unsure to do more, but Yuma is clearly unburdened by such concerns, as he immediately presses his thigh against Taki. The sensation of Yuma’s thigh rubbing against him makes Taki whine into Yuma’s mouth, it feels so unbelievably good.
When the elevator stops, Taki’s heart sinks. Yuma bites Taki’s bottom lip as he pulls away from the kiss, away from Taki, away from this amazing pleasure he was feeling. Taki tries to think of something to say or do. Some way to make this elevator ride last forever. But the door opens, and Yuma steps into the hallway like Taki’s world didn’t just turn upside down. For some reason, Taki feels like he could cry, and there’s a heavy sinking feeling in his stomach.
Yuma turns around and reaches out his hand. “Are you coming or not? We’re sharing a room, so you don’t have to look so pathetic. I’ll take care of you.”
Taki perks up immediately and rushes out of the elevator before the door can close. Grabbing Yuma’s hand he feels his heart racing. Are they really going to….? He doesn’t dare think it. He’ll just let Yuma lead the way and whatever happens he’ll be content.
Squeezing Taki’s hand tightly, Yuma pulls him into their room after unlocking the door. He doesn’t bother turning the lights on. “Are you ready for this? I’m not playing around like you were with the others.”
Taki swallows hard, wanting to scream that he’s never been this turned on in his life, that he’s been secretly wanting this for as long as he can remember, that he kissed everyone else tonight to make it seem like no big deal when he kissed Yuma because he looks so gorgeous that he can’t help wanting those lips pressed against his even if it’s just for a second. And that he really, honestly doesn’t save everyone’s selfies in his phone, just Yuma’s. Always Yuma’s. And god the things he’s done to himself while looking at those selfies…
“I’m ready to do anything you want.” And Taki means it. He knows he’d do anything for Yuma right now.
“Ok. But if we do this, you have to promise me something.” Yuma’s voice is lower than usual now, his grip on Taki’s hand tighter than ever.
“What?” Taki is sure Yuma can hear his heart pounding in his chest. His eyes are adjusting to the dark now, he can see Yuma’s beautiful eyes shining, his blonde hair looks like it’s glowing, sparkling. Or maybe that’s just Taki’s imagination.
“Don’t kiss anyone but me from now on. Not even K. Not on the lips, at least. Maybe for content. But not like tonight.” Yuma is looking Taki directly in the eyes as he says this. It’s clear he’s serious. It feels like his eyes are piercing Taki’s soul.
“I promise!” Taki doesn’t hesitate, it’s a promise he’s more than happy to make.
“Good.” Yuma pulls Taki in for a kiss, more gentle than the one in the elevator.
When Taki looks in the mirror the next morning he sees his lips are a little swollen from all the times Yuma kissed him that night, and he can’t imagine ever wanting to kiss anyone else ever again.
