“Oi! Sakae! Im home!”
Sakura went to put his bag and jacket on the hook by the door, kicking his shoes off next to Momijikawa’s. A faint shiver ran through him as the lingering cold from outside still ran through his bones. He couldn’tstand the cold but at least the apartment was warmer than the outdoors. He looked over when he heard Momijikawa pad over so he could look down the hall at him, a faint smile crossing his face.” Welcome back, I got dinner going if you want to get comfortable.”
He had to take a second to appreciate how comfy his boyfriend looked at the moment. Long sleeve shirt, apron on and a pair of sweats that matched Sakura’s favorite pair. He looked much warmer than Sakura felt at the moment and he had to resist the urge to go wrap around him to steal some of that heat.
The minute the smell hit his nose though, Sakura felt some of the tension in his body melt away. Meals cooked by Momijikawa always smelt like home, even if that seemed silly to Sakura. Giving a small hum of acknowledgment, He went to wonder off for their shared room, making a bee line for Momijikawa’s drawers. Now that he officially lived here, he had one thing he insisted on and it was getting to grab one of Momijikawa’s shirts/hoodies to relax in.
Before the first time he wore Momijikawa’s clothes he didn’t like oversized stuff, it got in the way and wasn’t comfortable to him. Now? If it was his boyfriends then that meant it was his as well. They smelt just like him and somehow were always so soft. They were warm and gave him a good excuse to nap.
If Momijikawa had a problem with this, he had yet to say anything. The way his face lit up though when he spotted him in his clothes told Sakura it would never be an issue.
Once he had on his favorite hoodie from Momijikawa and a pair of his own sweats, he went to make his way back out to the dining room. There was one thing that bothered him with getting to wear his boyfriend’s clothes, and it was a pretty dumb problem if he was being honest with himself. He just wished he could share his clothes with Momijikawa as well.
It might not mean the same to the other boy, but would Momijikawa enjoy it if he got to wear something of Sakura’s? Would it bring Momijikawa the same peace it brings him?
He never voiced these thoughts out loud, but wearing Momijikawa’s clothes made even the worst days better. Even if his partner was held up with patrols or getting dragged out with the other members of the Zojo team, he found comfort in laying in his clothes. He often let his hoodies or shirts cover the bottom half of his face so he could still smell his scent. Would it be the same for Momijikawa if he could share with him?
As Sakura sat in his chair and looked at Momijikawa’s back, he felt his face scrunch up in thought. What could he even get to share with him? Not only was he taller than him, he was bulkier than him as well. Even Sakura’s baggiest shirt would be a tight fit on him. Though, would that really be a bad thing? Seeing Momijikawa in a tight white shirt wouldn’t be the worst thing…
But then his shirts would get stretched out and he did not like the idea of that.
There was always getting a bigger shirt just for the purpose of being able to share it with Momijikawa, but then he would never wear it outside of the house himself. It was one thing if it was big and his boyfriend’s then if it was big and his own clothes. Sakura just wanted something that he could wear out knowing that Momijikawa did the same and he owned it. It isn’t even like he is small! He is average for his age! It’s not his fault his boyfriend is bigger than he is.
“What’s up with that face?”
Sakura jumped a little, not having realized he had zoned out there. He looked up at Momijikawa, scowling at his amused face. Wait, when did he get over here with the plates? His food was sat down infront of him and Momijikawa was already comfortable in his chair.” Just thinking is all.”
Momijikawa gave his thanks before he raised an eyebrow at him.” Oh yeah? What’s on your mind?”
Taking a moment to give his thanks as well, Sakura hesitated to speak. Momijikawa was a good listener, but was this something he would make fun of him for?.” It sucks I can’t share my clothes with you too.”
When he glanced over at Momijikawa he saw he had his eyebrows drawn, looking a bit confused by this.” Why does it suck?”
“I don’t know I just…” He felt his face turn red as he prepared himself a bite.” I like getting to wear your clothes.. So if you ever wanted to wear mine you couldn’t without them getting stretched out.”
Shoving the bite into his mouth Sakura looked down at his plate, already feeling ridiculous. How else is he supposed to explain it though? Telling him that he wanted to know if he got all mushy from his clothes as well was way too much for him to ask. He could already feel himself cringing at the thought.
“Well.. I might not be able to wear your clothes, but Im plenty happy seeing you in mine.”
Sakura looks up and over at Momijikawa, squinting a little at the small smile directed at him.” Why does it make you happy?”
He might have messed up with this question if the smirk he got was anything to go off of.” Because you look good in them, especially when you walk around in just your boxers and one of my shirts. Thats the worst thing about it getting cold outside is you have decided to wear pants around here.”
Well he definitely wasn’t cold at the moment with the heat that was radiating off him. Sakura could only imagine how red his face is currently. How did he just say things like that with such a straight face!.” W-Well what if I wanted to see if the same is true for you, huh? I don’t get to know because you’re too damn big!”
“Is it that I’m too big or that you’re too small?”
“You tryin’ to fight right now?!”
Momijikawa let out a light hearted laugh as he shook his head.” I’d rather finish eating and maybe watch a movie? You look pretty cozy right now.”
Sakura let out a huff before he leaned back in his seat, grumbling softly under his breath. He glanced to the side as he shoved a bite into his mouth.” We can do that.. Jerk.”
As they got back to their meals and the conversation shifted to what they did with their day, Sakura still couldn’t get the thought out of his head. Now that he was a hundred percent sure Momijikawa enjoyed seeing him in his clothes, would he feel the same? Unfortunately any attempt of imagining Momijikawa in one of his shirts just led him to a train of thought that caused his cheeks to go pink and mildly irritated him.
They had a similar style, which at least worked out in his favor. This would be a lot more difficult if he was trying to share clothes with someone like Kiryu, who wore so many patterns and colors. If he could fix the sizing issue then he could make this work. But how does he do that?
Man, this was going to make his head hurt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Waking up and being so warm made getting up out of bed very difficult for Sakura. Momijikawa’s bed was just way too comfortable, but it didn’t take him long to realize he wasn’t in it with him currently.
Thats right, it was the weekend, which meant Momijikawa was going to be heading to the store. Sakura usually liked to join him, but the cold moving in had him wanting to stay inside. Why trouble himself when he could enjoy the bed all to himself while also soaking up the warmth Momijikawa’s hoodie provided.
It did mean his boyfriend had to walk in the frigid cold, which he didn’t like. Maybe if he got up and did the chores for the day, he could convince Momijikawa to get back into bed with him once the groceries were put up. The guy never let himself just lounge around for a whole day, it would be good for him. Getting to laze around in bed with Momijikawa was worth cleaning the apartment.
When Sakura listened closely he could hear Momijikawa moving around in the apartment. He should get up to at least tell him bye, make sure he doesn’t need anything before he left. Momijikawa better be quick so he wasn’t too cold outside. Hopefully he didn’t forget his scarf…
Sakura felt his eyes fly open, an idea popping into his head. He had been so worried about sharing shirts or pants with Momijikawa, but there was one other item he could share with him today.
Throwing the blanket off and making his way over to his drawers, he threw open the first one and grabbed his scarf his friends gifted him right before the seasons changed. It was a simple black scarf with white tassels on it. It was definitely big enough that it would work.
When he heard footsteps making their way down the hall, Sakura moved over to the door so he could throw it open. Momijikawa stopped as he passed by, seeming surprised he was up and about.” Haruka? I thought you would still be asleep right now.”
Sakura, still a little groggy from sleep, simply looked down to Momijikawa’s usual scarf he had on. Sure Momijikawa’s is comfortable, but he was confident that his would be better for him.” Take that scarf off.”
That earned him a raised eyebrow, but he watched pleased as Momijikawa went to unwind his scarf.” Demanding already I see.”
The minute it was off Sakura snatched it away from him, shoving his scarf into his hand instead.” Here, wear mine instead.”
There was a moment of silence between them, Sakura waiting impatiently for him to put the scarf on while Momijikawa stared at it like he had never seen one before. He was about to tell him to hurry up with it, but froze when he saw the light blush work its way across Momijikawa’s cheeks.
It wasnt often that something Sakura did caused Momijikawa to blush, but whenever he pulled it off he felt way too pleased with himself. He wanted to see it more often.
The minute his boyfriend started moving to work the scarf on himself, Sakura immediately felt a pleasant warmth form in his chest. His scarf looked good on him, it would keep him warm and now he was wearing something of his. When people saw him out and about they would see him being kept warm with his scarf.
Was this what Momijikawa felt? A proud feeling of knowing that something of his was going to keep his partner comfortable. It felt nice. He could see why Momijikawa never put up a fuss whenever he stole his clothes.
A small smirk crept onto his boyfriend face as he properly got the scarf on.” Happy now?”
“Hmm.. I think you’re missing something.”
Sakura didnt wait for him to question what he meant. No, instead he grabbed the front of his scarf and pulled Momijikawa down into a kiss. Now his boyfriend would leave warm in his scarf and with a goodbye kiss.
As soon as Sakura felt Momijikawa return the kiss he pulled back. He felt his own little smirk form on his face when he saw the fond look in his partners eyes before he let go of the scarf, taking a step back in the room.” I’ll do the chores in a bit, so don’t take too long at the store. The beds not as warm without you.”
Before Momijikawa could respond, he shut the door in his face. Turning to press his back against the door, Sakura brought the scarf up to cover his face. He felt the red glow spread as he realized what he just did. He didnt know where that came from, but seeing his clothes on Momijikawa just brought it out of him. Maybe that’s why Momijikawa got so much more handsy with him when he wore his clothes.
Either way, he was definitely going to have to recover for a bit before he did the chores. There was no doubt in Sakura’s mind that he was going to get picked on for that later when Momijikawa gets back. It was totally worth it though, especially when he got to see that little bit of a blush on Momijikawa’s face.
