Work Text:
Vanta had a new coat. Well, it was a new uniform for his new job, but Wilson could only focus on one part. The first time Wilson saw Vanta’s new uniform was at work one evening when Vanta had come by the shop to walk home with him.
“Good evening, beautiful. How’s the shop been today?” Vanta walked in and immediately greeted Wilson like usual: wrapping his arms around Wilson from behind when Wilson was cleaning up for the day. He then leaned down to pepper kisses on Wilson's face.
“Just an average day. Not too busy, and not too quiet.” Wilson laughed and leaned back into Vanta before wiggling in Vanta’s hold so he could turn around. “How’s the new… job…” Wilson trailed off when he saw Vanta’s clothing.
“Haha, someone likes my new uniform.” Vanta laughed softly. “I had to leave pretty early this morning, so you didn’t get to see it before I left. You were so sleepy when I said bye that you didn’t even open your eyes.”
“I-I– yeah… umm…” Wilson covered his cheeks as he could feel them heating up. Vanta’s uniform consisted of a simple black, long sleeved top with the collar covering his neck. The buttons were shaped like silver four-point star shapes with the left side extended out, and there was a belt around his waist with a collection of accessories dangling from it. The main piece that took Wilson’s attention was the white coat hanging off of Vanta’s shoulders. The accessories like buttons and chains matched the base uniform underneath, but the thing that Wilson was focused on was that one of the coat shoulders was decorated with soft-looking fur that Wilson had to resist stuffing his face into. They were still in public, and people would see them through the window.
“Okay, I know I look good, but if you keep staring like that then we’ll never get home.” Vanta gently tapped Wilson’s nose with his finger. “Are you almost done cleaning?”
“Ah– y-yeah. Just give me five minutes.” Wilson then rushed around to finish tidying the shop before he and Vanta left. After Wilson locked the door, Vanta took Wilson’s hand and laced their fingers together as they walked home.

“Did you want to shower first while I start–” Vanta was cut off as Wilson hugged him the moment they stepped inside the apartment. “Uuh, Wilson?” Wilson then stuffed his face in the fur on Vanta’s coat.
“Mmhm?” Wilson hummed as he relaxed.
“Hahaha! How long were you waiting to do that?” Vanta laughed as he hugged Wilson back.
“Since I saw you.”
“Too embarrassed to do it in public?” Vanta teased.
“Shut up.”
“Right, go and shower, and I’ll start dinner.”
“A little longer?”
“–! Fine…” Vanta had only one really bad weakness: his boyfriend.

Vanta’s new job meant he was busy a lot more often now, since his shifts were a bit unpredictable. Tonight he had a night shift, so he was currently sleeping while Wilson was getting ready for bed himself.
Wilson walked into the living room and planned to relax there for a bit to let Vanta sleep a little longer. When he sat down, Wilson noticed Vanta’s coat resting over the arm of the sofa.
He had an idea.
Since he couldn’t go and cuddle with Vanta right now as Wilson didn’t want to wake him up, Wilson grabbed the coat and laid it open on the sofa. He used the fur as a pillow and pulled the other half of the coat over himself, essentially wrapping himself up in Vanta’s coat. Wilson curled up so that only his head was poking out and sighed as he breathed in. The coat smelled like Vanta, so much that it felt like he was actually there.
Wilson didn’t mean to fall asleep, but he soon found himself drifting off as he cuddled into Vanta’s coat.

After getting dressed, Vanta made his way to the kitchen to grab some coffee. He needed it for the long night ahead of him. Luckily his shift ended at 5am, so he’d be able to get back home and be there when Wilson woke up, and then spend the early morning with him before he had to go and open the shop at ten.
While his coffee was brewing, Vanta went over to the sofa where he thought his coat was. But it wasn’t on the arm of the sofa where Vanta had thought he'd left it. He walked around the sofa in case it had fallen off, but then almost passed out on the spot at the sight he saw. Laying on the sofa was Wilson. He had Vanta’s coat wrapped around him, and he had his head nuzzled into the fur. Wilson was so covered that only the top half of his head could be seen.
“Maybe I don’t need my coat today.” Vanta smiled as he returned to the kitchen to pour his coffee into a thermos. Before leaving, he went to place a kiss on Wilson’s forehead, being careful not to wake him up. “See you in the morning.” He then quietly left and headed to work.

It was 5:30am, and Vanta dragged his feet through the door. He probably should’ve slept for longer before his shift, but he was adamant on picking Wilson up from work. He quietly crept over to the sofa, and he felt the tiredness drain from his body as he saw Wilson still there, exactly how he was when Vanta left.
Vanta had to resist the urge to cuddle him straight away and forced himself to take a shower first. After he was cleaned up, though, he immediately went back to the sofa. He gently lifted Wilson (who was still wrapped up in Vanta’s coat), laid down, and then settled Wilson on his chest.
“Mmmm?” Wilson shifted when he felt himself being moved. He cracked his eyes open, and smiled when he realised he’d been moved onto Vanta’s chest. “You’re home…” Wilson yawned.
“Yeah, I am.” Vanta gently threaded his fingers through Wilson’s hair. “It’s still early, baby, go back to sleep.”
“Mmmm… hold on…” Wilson sleepily lifted himself just enough to move the coat from under him so that he could be directly against Vanta. He still kept the coat over him like a blanket, but now he could cuddle properly into Vanta’s chest.
“I thought you liked the coat's fur?”
“Your chest is still better.” Wilson mumbled, making Vanta laugh fondly.
“Is it now?”
“Mmmhmm.” Wilson yawned again.
“Okay, go back to sleep, it’s only six o’clock.”
Wilson then lifted his head slightly to look at Vanta.
“Can I have a kiss?”
“Of course.” Vanta smiled and placed a soft, loving kiss on Wilson’s lips. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Wilson smiled back before resting his head back on Vanta’s chest. “Good night…”
“It’s morning but…”
“...good morning.”
“Good morning.”
