Chapter Text
When Sousuke wakes up and reaches to his side, he realises that Rin is not there with him. He slowly opens his eyes - just enough to look around the room, to make sure that he’s actually alone - and notices that the door leading to the living room/kitchen is now closed. He wants to find Rin, and possibly bring him back to “bed”, but the sun is still pretty low and the sleepiness is winning. He closes his eyes. Just a few more minutes.
Rin sits inside the car, in front of his house. He looks at the front door with a anxious look on his face, his leg bobbing up and down. He’s worried. He’s worried that maybe they slept together too soon. He doesn’t want this thing with Sousuke to be like his other experiences in the past. He likes him. Maybe little bit too much, considering he’s only known him for a week. And he was the guy’s boss, for fuck sake. Fuck. He didn’t think about that. Did he take advantage of Sousuke? Well, the man didn’t exactly seem like he was being forced to do any of it… and the date was his idea. Wait. Was Sousuke taking advance of him to get ahead?! How would that work? No. Sousuke didn’t even know who he was at first. And Sousuke’s not that kind of guy, he just knows it.
Rin sighs and Bean, sitting in the passenger seat, produces a quiet whine. Rin faces the dog and pets his head.
“Sorry. Let’s go.” He opens the car door, grabs his bags and Bean follows him.
Maybe I"m thinking too much, Rin wonders as he opens the front door.
He’s not sure if he’s relieved or disappointed when he slowly slides one of the doors to the small room to check on Sousuke and sees that the man is still asleep. It’s still early, he thinks. Staring at Sousuke’s peaceful sleeping form, Rin considers laying out the futon he went to get from Gou’s and snuggle with Sousuke but almost immediately changes his mind. He closes the door again, carefully, and turns to opens the bag containing his clothes.
Sousuke wakes up a second time with warm rapid rated - not particularly well scented - breaths hitting him in the face. Not opening his eyes, he reaches out to the source and touches warm fluffy hair - a lot of hair. He strokes it and receives a very wet lick - all the way from his chin to the bridge of his nose.
“Yuck…” He turns his face away, preventing any more “kisses” from happening, and wipes the drool on his face with his arm. “Not sure about your morning kisses, Rin.” Sousuke opens his eyes and closes them again, still not used to the brightness.
“Ah-ah. Very funny.”
Sousuke sits up, stretching his arms above his head, before facing Rin, still squinting a little. Bean is wagging his tail excitedly, next to his owner, who is leaning on the door frame, looking at the naked, half asleep, brunette on the tatami mat, with an amused expression. The taller man raises his eyebrows when he focuses enough to notice that Rin is wearing workout clothes - dark grey tight t-shirt with matching shorts and black running sneakers - and his hair is tied in a low ponytail.
“You two went running?”
Rin looks down at himself before answering, as if to remind himself of outfit. “Oh. Yeah.”
“What time is it?” Sousuke lazily brushes a hand through his hair, making it spike up even more and Rin grins at the sight.
“Eight twenty something, I think.”
Sousuke lays back down with a huff and Rin chuckles. “Come here.” The brunette stretches his arms up, his palms opening and closing.
Rin steps closer and as soon as he’s in Sousuke’s reach, the brunette pulls the redhead down to lay on top of him. Rin doesn’t even have time to adjust to his new horizontal position when Sousuke’s lips capture his own in a deep kiss. Rin smiles against Sousuke’s lips and feels himself relaxing in the man’s embrace. His anxiety dissipating. This feels right.
“Good morning.” Sousuke says when they finally detach.
“Mmmm” Is Rin’s response and he makes himself comfortable, his head laying on Sousuke’s broad chest.
“Did you have trouble sleeping?” Fingers gently brush the longer strands of maroon hair, slightly damp, a lingering floral, fresh smell still lingering.
“Mmm no. I hadn’t slept that well in a while, actually.” Rin nuzzles his nose on Sousuke’s neck. “I just don’t sleep that much in general.”
Sousuke looks out the window and sees Bean running around the garden, trying to eat a some kind of flying insect. “You went to your sister’s to get Bean too, right?”
Rin nods. “Yeah. And a few more things, like clothes, kitchen stuff...” He lazily stretches like a cat, ignoring the fact that he’s on top of a person and not a flat surface. Clearly Sousuke doesn’t mind, thought, given that he smiles at the redhead like that was one of the most endearing things he’s ever seen.
“Speaking of which.” Rin scoots up, so that he’s face to face with Sousuke and grins. “I brought food. For breakfast.”
Sousuke kisses the tip of his nose. “Okay. Let me shower and I"ll-“ Rin places his hand over Sousuke’s mouth and the brunette lifts his eyebrows.
“I’m making breakfast.” He states, firmly. “I used to make it for Gou and me all the time. Believe me when I say: I’m an expert.”
Sousuke chuckles and hugs him even more tightly. “After that, how can I dare doubt your breakfast-making abilities.” He kisses the redhead. “I’m ready to be wowed, expert.”
Rin smirks and tries to stand up, but Sousuke keeps his tight grip on him. “You’ll have to let me go if you want to eat, you know."
“Do I?” Sousuke captures him lips again and Rin rolls his eyes at first, but then lets out a deep, content sigh when the other slips his tongue into his mouth. They’re completely tangled and starting to slowly grind against each other until Rin"s stomach growls and he remembers he’s been up for 3 hours, went for a run and hasn’t eaten anything yet. He breaks the kiss and Sousuke groans.
“I need to eat.” He stands up quickly before he can be coerced into staying again and looks down at Sousuke. “And you do need to shower. You smell. And you’re all sticky.”
“Yeah? Who’s fault is that?” Sousuke smirks and a slight blush creeps its way up Rin’s cheeks. He turns around and walks towards the door before Sousuke can see it. Rin comes back a moment later with a towel and throws it at Sousuke’s face and the brunette laughs.
Rin’s in the kitchen, pulling different items out of the bags, when Sousuke steps into the living room with the towel loosely wrapped around his waist. Rin tries to focus on the bags sitting on the counter in front of him.
“There’s a shower outside, if you want.” He says. His face practically inside one of the bags at this point, his eyes betraying his brain and keep looking up.
“Really?” Sousuke looks out the window and sees the round rain shower head above a hardwood slatted base. There are no walls around it, the garden is secluded enough, concealed from the outside world by trees and tall bushes. It"s still cool outside but it still looked really inviting. “Okay, cool.” He says as he steps outside.
“Wait!” Rin calls and Sousuke backs up. Rin throws something small and rectangular at him and Sousuke catches it.
“Soap, right. Thanks.” Sousuke smiles at the redhead before making his way to the shower.
Sousuke sighs the moment the water hits his skin. He really was sticky from sweat, mixed with "other fluids" from last night. He smiles to himself, remembering certain moments and for a while he doesn’t even grab the soap - just stands still under the shower, feeling it caressing his upper back muscles and shoulders. When he opens his eyes, he notices Rin sitting on the step below the big living room window/door. His elbow resting on his knee and his hand cupping his cheek, watching him.
Sousuke smirks. “Care to join me?”
Rin smirks back. “I’m cooking.”
“I can see that.”
“I have stuff on the stove that don’t need my attention right now and I’m waiting for the oven to heat up, jerk.”
“Turn off the stove and come here.”
Rin turns his head and looks inside, biting his lip, considering Sousuke’s offer. He did already snack on some fruit. His energy isn’t that low anymore… He turns back to Sousuke, who is not looking at him anymore because he has grabbed the soap already and is rubbing it all over his tanned skin… Rin swallows hards and goes back inside.
A few minutes later, Sousuke is beginning to think he’s been rejected when he feels slender fingers touch his waist and lips kissing his lower stomach, below his belly button. He glances down and inhales deeply when is met with fiery red eyes. Sousuke holds his breath, involuntarily, as Rin makes his way down his body, kissing every inch of skin on the way to his hardening member. He’s forced to exhale when Rin licks it, from the base to the tip and sucks it there. Sousuke steadies himself by placing his hands on the wall in front of him, simultaneously blocking the water from hitting Rin. The kissing and licking continues for a while and when Sousuke’s desperate enough to think about shoving himself inside the redhead’s teasing mouth, Rin does that on his own, and Sousuke lets out a full-throated groan, much louder than he meant to.
He comes a few minutes later, embarrassingly fast, he thinks to himself, moreover, considering that they already had sex last night, so he isn’t exactly dealing with pent up sexual frustration. Maybe it was the surprise factor. Or maybe Rin is just really good at this. Too good.
He grabs Rin’s low ponytail and pulls him up to his feet, careful enough not to hurt him, but still with enough strength to let Rin know that this wasn’t over yet. Their mouths opened to each other. Rin grips tightly onto Sousuke’s arm, relishing in the feeling of being caressed and licked. Sousuke"s tongue explores without hesitation, rubbing against every surface inside and all around Rin’s tongue.
The taller man steps forward, making Rin yelp and hold on to him tightly. Sousuke traps the redhead between his own body and the wall and firmly grabs Rin’s ass with both hands, making the redhead gasp. His eyes try to focus enough to read Rin’s expression: Rin"s panting, ruby orbs half lidded, partially covered by wet, wine coloured hair - which was released from the tie in the process. Sousuke pushes Rin’s bangs away from his face and leans down to proceeds to bite and suck the wet skin along his jaw, while thoroughly kneading the cheeks his hands. He wanted to taste Rin’s pale skin. He wanted to slowly run his tongue over every inch.
“S-Sousuke…” Rin whimpers. Sousuke stops right away and meets Rin’s eyes again.
“Is this not okay?” Sousuke’s eyes show genuine concern and Rin’s heart swells.
“No, this is fine. It’s just…” Rin glances down before giving him a suggestive look. “I’m still a bit…”
Oh. Right. Sousuke gets the message and cups Rin’s cheeks, tilting his face up and gives the boy a peck on the lips. “We won’t do that, then.” He wraps his arms round Rin’s waist and brings the younger man closer, his mouth right next to Rin’s ear. “I would like to make you feel as good as you made me, though.” Sousuke whispers.
“By all means.” Rin gives him a teasing smirk and Sousuke leans down with the intent to devour him again, but Rin raises his hand between them. “Can we turn the water off, though? Don’t really wanna flood the whole garden on the very first day in the house.”
It’s that time of day when the sun is scorching hot and the two boys are both laying on the mat, too hot and too full to function, after eating the huge, over-the-top spread Rin managed to prepare. Rin wasn’t lying when he said he was a breakfast expert.
Sousuke’s on his stomach, his head resting on Rin’s lower abdomen, strong arms wrapped around the leaner frame, his torso between the smaller man’s legs.
Rin absentmindedly strokes Sousuke"s dark hair, his eyes closed. “Hey. You’re a cook. How come you’re so ripped?"
Given that half of his face is squished against Rin’s skin, Sousuke’s answer come out slightly muffled. “Mm?” He yawns before nuzzling on Rin’s stomach and laying back down. “I used to swim and I guess now it’s weird not to work out-"
Sousuke’s forced out of his very relaxed state when Rin suddenly shifts, grabbing the brunette’s face, forcing him to look up at him.
“Are you serious?!” Rin asks, his eyes shimmering.
Sousuke stares into red pools, analysing the situation for a second, before cautiously answering. “Yeah…?”
“Me too!” Rin smiles. “I bet you swam butterfly like me."
Sousuke balances himself on his forearms to properly look at the increasingly excited redhead. “Yeah, I did.”
“Knew it! Would be a waste if you didn’t, with those shoulders of yours.”
Rin notices a slight change in Sousuke’s face, a discomfort of some sort, before the brunette returns to his previous position, resting his face back on the redhead"s stomach. Rin realises that he probably has brought up a sensitive subject and doesn’t push it. His fingers resume slowly stroking short, dark strands of hair, waiting for Sousuke to say something first.
A few minutes later, he does. “Since I was a kid, I only thought about two things: cooking and swimming. As I got older, swimming became by life and I didn’t think about anything else. I was good, really good.” He paused. “That is, until I insured my shoulder in high school and threw all those years of training down the drain.”
Rin frowns slightly and stops his movements, only to reach out for Sousuke’s face and bring him up, so that their lips could touch.
Sousuke smiles against the other’s lips, understanding that the kiss is Rin’s way to soothe him. When they part, the brunette brushes him thumbs on Rin’s soft cheeks. “I’m okay.” He reassures. “I wasn’t, for the longest time. But now I am.” He kisses Rin again and rests his forehead against the redhead"s.
Rin smiles and playfully nuzzles his nose against Sousuke’s in response.
Rin’s having a Skype meeting and Sousuke decides to clean up and wash the dishes while the redhead"s busy. He can vaguely hear Rin’s voice. His english accent is perfect and it almost doesn’t sound like him at all. About half an hour later, Rin emerges from the next room, stretching his arms above his head and muttering an apology.
“Do you want to go with me tonight or not?” Rin says while he rummages through his duffle bag.
Sousuke turns around to face Rin, wiping his hands on a kitchen cloth. “Oh? I thought I was no longer invited.”
Rin stops his search momentarily and thinks about smacking Sousuke on the arm or chest but then he decides that that requires to much effort. “Well, you’ve proven yourself somewhat useful since I made that decision, so I changed my mind.” He retorts instead.
Sousuke snorts before pulling Rin towards him, by the back of his shirt, wrapping his arms around the smaller man’s waist from behind and playfully nibbling at Rin’s collarbone and shoulders, making the redhead squirm.
They stop by Sousuke’s a Sei’s apartment so Sousuke can change his outfit. He’s currently wearing last night"s clothes and a pair of Rin’s underwear that is about two sizes too small for him. Rin immediately seizes the task of picking out an outfit for Sousuke and the brunette consents without complaint. His wardrobe consists essentially in a bunch of basic pieces that look decent together without requiring much effort on his part. Rin complains a little about the lack of diversity and Sousuke almost points out that he’s never seen the redhead in nothing but black. He doesn’t, though, because although Rin’s wardrobe is mainly the same shade, there are almost no “basics” and everything looks like it was made specifically for him. Right now, for example, he’s wearing a black, thin knitted sweater, the hem brushing mid-thighs, that looks pretty normal at first glance, but it’s actually partially see-through depending on the angle and lighting. Sousuke’s jaw dropped when he first noticed and every time Rin’s naked torso’s partially visible, his fingers twitch, longing to touch perfect, soft skin.
In the end, Rin chooses a dark-blue linen shirt and black jeans. Sousuke stays perfectly still as Rin makes a few final adjustments to his shirt once it’s on: he rolls up the sleeves to “show off his arm muscles” and untucks it from the jeans "for a more casual look”.
They head to the concert venue and after the bouncer let’s them both in immediately - despite the considerable line of people waiting - and greets Rin like they"re life-long friends, Sousuke’s surprised to enter a bar/pub-looking place. It has small stage with an empty area in front of it, a long dark wood bar along the small room, a few tables and a couple of well-worn sofas. The space can’t be considered small, but he lighting is low, making it seem cosier and intimate.
They’re heading towards the bar when suddenly Rin feels a larger body pressing against his back and he visibly tenses. “Hi there, stranger.” Someone says in english, right next to his ear.
Sousuke frowns at the intruder pressing against Rin but stays still when he notices the redhead grin and roll his eyes, before turning around.
“You have to stop doing that. I almost punched you in the face again.” Rin responds in english.
“Well, maybe I’m a bit of a masochist and was hoping you would. Again.” The man smiles before wrapping his arms around Rin for a tight hug. Sousuke’s frown deepens while watching the two and he takes that time to briefly examine the "too friendly for his liking” man: he looks slightly older than them; about his height, slightly tanner, blond wavy hair and light blue eyes. Sousuke isn’t as fluent in english as Rin is but he has seen enough movies and traveled enough to tell that the accent’s Canadian.
“Freak.” Rin says, jokingly, when the man releases him. The redhead reaches for Sousuke’s arm and gently pulls. “Sousuke, this is Alex. He’s the band"s manager and an old friend of mine.”
Sousuke tries his hardest not to look menacing - always a problem for him in this kind social situations, but he was getting better - and grabs Alex’s hand when the man stretches it out in front of him. He doesn’t go as far as returning the toothpaste-ad-white smile, though.
“Hi, there!” Alex vigorously shakes both their hands. “Are you a fan of Mac’s?” He asks before releasing Sousuke.
“No, not really.” He pauses and decides to rephrase that. “I mean, I didn’t know who he was until yesterday.” Is that better?
Alex laughs and places a hand on Sousuke’s shoulder, who manages not to shrug it off immediately.
“What can I say. He’s cute, but he still needs a bit of work.” Rin smirks, looking at Sousuke and chuckles when the brunette gives him a flat stare.
“Well, I hope this experience will add something positive to your musical awakening, Sousuke.” The blonde says before letting him go.
Without knowing what to answer, Sousuke just nods and subconsciously scoots closer to Rin, their arms brushing together. The gesture doesn’t go unnoticed to Rin and the redhead grabs the other’s hand, intertwining their fingers together.
“Well, I have to check on the band.” Alex says. “Don’t you dare leave right after the show.” He points a finger a Rin. “We haven’t seen each other in too long, I want to introduce you to the band and you owe me a drink.”
“Sure.” Rin chuckles because Alex is already leaving, without waiting for his answer.
“Enjoy the show!” The blonde man yells as he leaves.
They have a few drinks before and during the show. Sousuke likes the band: the vocalist is funny and sometimes flirty when he talks with the audience and the songs have a generally lazy and sensual atmosphere. Rin has his back pressed against Sousuke’s back and as the night advances, the two get progressively more uninhibited and at some point start slowly rubbing against each other.
A song comes up and Sousuke recognises it as the one that was playing on Rin’s stereo right before things got really intense the night before and it brings up very pleasant memories. Sousuke’s hands find their way inside Rin’s sweater at that point and he feels Rin tense under his touch at first, before fully relaxing and leaning against Sousuke’s bigger frame again, his head resting against Sousuke’s collarbone. Thumbs brush the redhead’s hip bones and then dare to move slightly up when Sousuke hears Rin’s low, content whimpers right next to his ear. Sousuke holds his breath when Rin starts moving in such a way that encourages the brunette to explore his body further. Due to the lighting and their angle, the taller man can faintly see his hands caressing Rin’s leaner frame through the sweater. The darker shade of his skin contrasting with Rin’s fair complexion when his palms reach the redhead’s chest and start gently caressing his pecs, the back of his hand brushing against the two hardening pink nipples. Rin furrows his brows and closes his eyes in concentration, trying to keep silent and not move his hips in a suspicious way. Eventually he grabs Sousuke’s hands and pulls them out from under his sweater. It feels cold and miserable for a second but Rin turns around quickly and wraps his arms around Sousuke’s neck to kiss him, hard. They face each other for the rest of the show, lazily swaying with their foreheads connected.
When the show is over, none of them remembers Rin’s promise to Alex to stay and hang out with the band. Instead, they end up in a taxi, a few short minutes after the band leaves the small stage. Wrapped up in each other and trying but failing to keep it together until they get inside closed doors, they’re heading for Sousuke’s apartment for the sole reason that it’s closer.
Sousuke doesn’t usually like to display affection in public, but something about Rin makes him want to do irrational things. That is why he started teasing his lover during the concert. It was a extreme case of tunnel vision. He could kind of sense the crowd surrounding them but his focus was on Rin and Rin alone. Ever since they met it kept happening, and it happens again in the taxi when he lets the redhead slither his hand inside his pants and wrap his skilled fingers around Sousuke"s length. Sousuke groans against Rin’s mouth, hopefully muffling it enough so that the woman driving the taxi doesn’t hear him and tries no to thrust into Rin’s hand. The pressure in his groin is getting unbearable and he curses Rin for choosing the tightest pair of jeans he owns, although deep down he knows it would be the same result with the baggiest pair.
He almost sighs in relief when the familiar apartment building comes in focus and he pulls Rin’s hand out of his pants and begins a clumsy search for his wallet. Rin starts to pout and whine but then senses the car stopping and looks outside the window with glazed eyes. Sousuke gives way to much money to the amused lady driver and opens the door, hastily pulling a still processing Rin out with him.
“Have fun~” The lady says once their both out of the car.
Sousuke is too embarrassed to give any kind of response but Rin turns and yells “Oh, we will~!”, just before the door closes, grinning at her.
The brunette doesn’t even wait to see the taxi drive away and hoists the smaller man over his shoulder. Rin’s startled yelp quickly transforms into giggling, as he lets himself be carried across the sidewalk and up a short flight of stairs, to the front door of the apartment. Sousuke puts him down to look of the keys and Rin makes sure the task is as difficult as possible when he starts working on Sousuke’s belt.
“Fuck, Rin.” Sousuke mutters, half scowling, half aroused. Ok, maybe 30/70.
“That is the idea.” Rin whispers in the man’s ear before biting the lobe.
Miraculously, Sousuke manages to unlock the door, pull Rin inside and shut it. He immediately places his hands underneath Rin’s thighs and pulls him up, roughly pressing the redhead against the front door. Sousuke slides Rin’s jeans and underwear down, just enough to expose his ass and starts kneading the cheeks with one hand, spreading them open and teasing the very sensitive skin at Rin"s entrance without trying to slip his finger inside. The sensation of Sousuke’s ministration is too good and too frustrating and, for a while, all Rin manages to do helplessly writhe and moan, until he remembers something.
“Sou- Sousuke.” He whines.
“Mm?” Sousuke responds with his lips against Rin’s neck.
“B-back pocket.”
With some difficulty, the brunette reaches inside Rin’s back pocket and takes out a little packet of lube and a condom. He lifts one questioning eyebrow at his lover and Rin lets out a breathless chuckle.
“They always have those in the bathroom.” He sighs. “I really love that place.”
Sousuke rips the lube open with his teeth and coats his fingers. “Yeah, me too.” He says before pressing one finger inside. A shudder darts from Rin"s core to the tips of his feet and he lets his head hit the door behind him. He moans in approval and his dick twitches as fingers stroke in and out of him, teasing him with slow, leisured motions before Sousuke hooks his fingers to press upwards. Rin lets out a shameless moan and rocks back into Sousuke"s hand.
Once he’s three fingers deep, Sousuke decides that even though Sei isn’t home, he doesn’t feel like fucking Rin in the shared living room, least of all in the doorway. When he pulls out and places both his hands under Rin’s ass, the redhead gets the idea and wraps his legs even tighter around the man’s waist. They face a number of obstacles on their way to Sousuke’s bedroom and they do hear a few things falling on the floor -they"ll apologise to Seijuro later- but they only stop sucking each others faces once, when they both hit their heads on a pendant light and start laughing.
Sousuke takes one look at his bed, which is full of his own clothes - due to Rin’s thorough search for something decent for him to wear earlier - and decides to place Rin on the dresser instead. His pants are already undone by Rin, so Sousuke just quickly slides them of his legs, does the same with Rin’s and reaches for the condom again. Meanwhile Rin tries to unbutton Sousuke’s shirt but there are too many buttons and he’s too impatient for that shit right now so, with one quick movement, he pulls on both sides of the offensive garment and tiny buttons fly everywhere around them. Sousuke freezes for a second, looking down and then up to meet Rin’s gaze.
“Sorry~.” Rin whispers with the most unconvincing smirk on his face, his palms caressing Sousuke’s pecs.
“Brat.” Sousuke says before taking off Rin’s boots and throwing Rin’s jeans somewhere on the floor before spreading the redhead"s legs open and bringing him to the edge of the dresser. Rin has to balance himself with one hand behind him and another around Sousuke’s neck while the brunette lines up his cock with Rin’s entrance. Rin grabs the hem of his sweater but Sousuke stops him.
“Leave it on.” He whispers in Rin’s ear. His voice low and husky, producing a shiver to run along Rin’s spine.
Rin mewls and arches his back, his eyes squeezed shut as Sousuke presses forward, the pressure quickly turning from slightly uncomfortable to unbelievably pleasurable and he starts rocking his hips, urging Sousuke to move faster. Sousuke pulls away from sucking the skin on Rin’s neck and chest, grabs one of his lover’s legs and places it above his shoulder. Rin yelps, making the taller man groan when he tightens around him and Rin readjusts his position, praising the lord for working on his flexibility when he was an athlete.
The position is too much for the both of them: Rin is ridiculously tight and Sousuke’s reaching deeper than before. That combined with the amount of hours of “foreplay”, makes the actual fucking shorter, compared to previous experiences.
For a while all they can hear is the sound of skin on skin, Rin’s moans, Sousuke’s kisses, the sound of their lovemaking filling the room until their orgasms hit them both with crushing force. Rin doesn’t even know of he actually screamed or just opened his mouth and nothing came out, but now all he can hear now is his own unstable breathing.
Sousuke slowly opens his eyes, loosens his grip on Rin’s hip and uses the hand that was pressing on the middle of Rin’s back to gently lower the redhead’s leg off his shoulder. Rin sighs in relief and falls forward, pressing his forehead against Sousuke"s chest while he takes off the condom.
Sousuke chuckles and kisses the soft maroon hair before taking Rin’s sweater and his own ripped shirt off and reaching for one of the drawers of the dresser for something to quickly clean them both with. He then moves towards the mess that is his bed and just gathers all of the pieces of clothing in his arms and throws them on a random chair.
Meanwhile, Rin managed to slide down from the dresser without falling flat on the ground but doesn’t dare to walk, choosing to wait for Sousuke to carry him over to the bed.
“I’m gonna make you carry me everywhere after today.” Rin mutters as he snuggles up with Sousuke.
The brunette snorts and wraps one arms around the redhead’s waist, bringing him closer. “Yeah? Want me to carry you to work on Monday?”
“Yes please…” Rin’s response is almost inaudible as he drifts off to sleep.
Sousuke wakes up with the morning sunlight on his face. He grunts and tries to shift, but something stops him. He opens his eyes and smiles when he notices Rin is practically using him as a mattress, with more half of his smaller body resting on top of Sousuke’s.
The brunette realises that he had never seen Rin like this in the morning and take a moment to admire the man’s soft sleeping face. The way his hair’s pointing in ten different directions, the long eyelashes and the small blush on his cheeks, make him look almost innocent. Almost. It’s hard to believe that vision once Sousuke looks further down and takes in the sight of both of their naked bodies, full or red hickies and tiny bite marks. They must’ve kicked the bedsheet off of them sometime in the middle of the night.
Sousuke lightly brushes his finger along Rin’s side, from his ribs to the swell of his ass and rests his hand there. Rin moves a little and Sousuke curses himself, but the redhead rubs his cheek against Sousuke’s chest, makes a little noise and continues sleeping. Sousuke places his lips against Rin’s hair, closes his eyes and smiles.
As satisfying as it is to feels Rin’s warm skin against his own, the longer Sousuke’s awake, the more he feels the repercussions of this position and he slowly slides from under Rin, trying very hard not to wake him up. Once he has successfully shimmied out of bed, he moves towards the dresser to grab clean underwear and sweatpants. Sousuke closes the door of his room very carefully and starts to walk over to the kitchen when he notices the amount of things on the ground, that he and Rin knocked over on the way to his bedroom. With a sigh, he starts to put everything in its rightful place - thankfully nothing was broken - when he hears Seijuro clearing his throat behind him.
“Morning.” Sei"s leaning on the doorframe with a cup of coffee on his hand and an amused smirk on his face.
Sousuke places the book he’s holding on the shelf and turns around to face his friend. “Hey.”
“Did you have a good night?” The redhead asks as he sits down on the couch.
Something in his voice is making Sousuke uneasy but he decides it’s better not to think about it. “Yeah…” The brunette makes his way to the kitchen and pours himself a cup of coffee too, all the while feeling Sei’s eyes on him.
“That’s nice.” Sei takes one sip. “Rin’s still asleep?”
Sousuke stops mid-sip before turning the corner. Oh no.
“Are you sure he’s still alive? Because, from what I heard last night…"
“You were home?!” Sousuke yells and then winces because that came out way too loud.
“Oh yes.”
“Why the hell didn’t you say anything?” Sousuke walks over to the couch to face Sei.
“What was I supposed to say?”
“Anything! Anything to let us know you were here!”
“Well, I was about to say something when I thought you two were going to get it on right there in the doorway, but then you decided to move so I didn’t.”
Sousuke sits down on the couch and rubs his hands on his face. “Fuck...”
“Yes you did.” Seijuro laughs and Sousuke punches him in the arm.
They drink their coffee in silence for a while before Sei speaks again. “I take it things are going well between you two.”
Sousuke sets his empty mug on the coffee table and then leans back on the couch. “Yeah. It’s only been two days but... Yeah."
“Well, you’ve been pretty much eye fucking each other since you’ve met so…”
Sousuke chuckles because that’s pretty much the truth. “He’s pretty amazing.” He says without thinking too much.
Sei grins. “Wow. I can see the little pink hearts dancing above your head and everything.”
Sousuke gives him a flat stare and Sei laughs.
“You can’t tell Rin you were here last night.” Sousuke says with a serious face. “He’ll never come over again."
“Ok, ok. Jeez.” Sei pauses. “Although I don’t think he’d mind as much as you think he would...”
“Well, just in case, don’t.” Sousuke’s about to change the subject when an uneasiness about Seijuro’s statement fills his brain. “Why are you so sure he wouldn’t mind?”
“Huh?” Sei asks, avoiding Sousuke’s gaze. “I’m not. I’ve just known him for a couple years, that’s all.”
“Why are you acting weird?” Sousuke focuses on Sei’s expression and the redhead looks uncomfortable.
“I’m not!” Sei stands up, still avoiding his friend.
“Seriously?! What the hell do you know?"
Sei sighs. “I didn’t tell you because it’s no big deal.”
Sousuke stands up too. A mixture of annoyance and worry on his face. “Tell me what?”
Sei turns to face Sousuke. “We’ve slept together.”
Sousuke’s eyes widen and Sei places his hands on the brunette’s shoulders. “Just two or three times last year during a shoot overseas.” Sousuke stays still and silent and Sei continues. “I was leaving it to Rin to decide if he thought he should tell you or not because it really didn’t mean anything.” He pauses. “Please don’t punch me.”
“I’m not gonna punch you, idiot.” He brushes Sei’s hands off his shoulders and sits back down. “I’m just surprised, that’s all.”
“Ok…” Still, Sei sits next to his friend with caution. "It really was nothing like what you two have.” He says after a couple minutes.
“How do you know that?”
“Sousuke.” Seijuro starts. “I’ve never seen Rin acting like that with anyone. Or you, for that matter. When you two are in the same room it’s like you see only each other and everyone else is just background noise. It’s so obvious and adorable it makes me wanna barf.”
“Jackass.” Sousuke laughs and tries to hit Sei again but the redhead catches arm and tries to pin it behind Sousuke’s back. Sousuke grabs Sei’s leg and pulls with his other and, making them both fall on the ground. The playful brawl continues until both men hear a door open.
“Hum…” Rin’s standing in front of the open bedroom door wearing one of Sousuke’s t-shirts. His sleepy expression gradually being replaced by one of confusion.
“Rin.” Sousuke detangles himself from Sei and walks over to Rin. They hug and Sousuke notices his lover isn’t wearing any underwear so he immediately walks forward, forcing Rin to backpedal inside the room.
“What are you doing?” Rin chuckles as Sousuke closes the door without fully releasing him.
“You need to get dressed.” Sousuke kisses Rin’s nose.
“Well, yeah. I was going too but do you see the state of this room? I grabbed the first thing I could find.”
Sousuke faces the mess that it is currently his room: there are clothes scattered literally everywhere. He sighs. “I’ll find you something.”
Rin sits on the bed with his legs crossed, watching Sousuke. “What was that about?” Rin sees Sousuke muscles tense a little.
“Nothing. Just Sei being an idiot.”
“Oh? Why’s that?”
Sousuke walks over to the redhead and hands him a pair of boxers that he was pretty sure would look more like actual shorts on Rin. “He told me you slept together.” He blurts out and Rin freezes midway grabbing the piece of clothing.
“Uh…” He stares at Sousuke, trying to analyse the situation.
Sousuke smiles and kisses Rin on the lips. “It’s fine. Don’t look at me like that.” He reassures him.
Rin lets out a sigh in relief. “Thank god.” He grabs Sousuke’s face, kisses him and holds him there. “I’m sorry. I was going to tell you, but it really didn’t mean anything.”
“That’s what he said.”
“Because it’s true.” Rin says firmly. "We were stressed and lonely, and it felt good while we were there but neither of us wanted anything more when we got ba-” Sousuke interrupts him with another kiss.
“Rin, it’s fine. You don’t need to apologise or explain. I’m glad I know but now we can move on and not talk about it ever again."
“Okay.” Rin nuzzles against Sousuke’s cheek. “Look at you, being so calm and mature about this.”
“Mm.” Sousuke groans, absent-mindedly running his palms along Rin’s smooth legs. “Believe me, my first instinct was to punch Sei in the face before he explained everything."
Rin chuckles and pulls Sousuke on top of him, wrapping his legs around the other man’s broader frame. Sousuke lifts one eyebrow and Rin responds by slipping his tongue in the other’s mouth.
