Waking up with a heavy weight stuck to his chest, Shinkai yawned. He was so very very warm, hotter than he usually was upon waking. Opening his eyes and staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling, the brunette smiled as he craned his neck to the side and took in the sleeping angel attached to his hip. It certainly hadn't been a peaceful night's sleep, the short bed was not suited for two and yet they'd managed to cram their way into somewhat of a comfortable position. Two heavily set men camping out together, even when overlapping was a struggle. Shifting his aching shoulders slowly, he tried to ensure Izumida didn't wake up. It was too early for them both to be awake and besides, Shinkai just wanted to bask in the soft feeling of closeness. By this time of the morning most of his hook ups would already be out the door or he himself would be in a taxi on the way home.

It was nice to just be able to sleep and take in the beauty of his resting lover. Mouth slightly ajar, head titled back with his chin up in the air, Izumida was snoring softly, cutely. Who could snore cutely? Izumida apparently. Hands stretched up behind his head, Shinkai grinned as the shorter man grunted, hand moving groggily to rub at his nose. Happily relaxing, their peaceful slumber was interrupted by a loud, obnoxious ringtone Yutto favoured on his phone. Jerking up right, head almost colliding with the brunette's chin, Izumida looked around wildly, face pale and mild terror in his dark eyes.

"Shinkai-san?" His confused tone made the older man laugh, even as he jumped out of bed and searched his discarded jeans for his phone.

"It's okay, sorry. It's just Yutto, she probably just wants to make sure I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere." Yanking out his phone and and sliding it open, he held it to his ear, wedging it between his shoulder and neck.

"Good morning. You feeling okay?"

"I haven't slept" his sister all but yelled. "So much caffeine and Ashikiba threw up twice, so no sleep for me!" Rolling his eyes as he glanced behind him, Izumida thankfully wasn't always turning himself inside out trying to get off the bed silently although he did almost trip over in the process. "So, uh you didn't come home last night. I assume you and Mr Izumida had a good night."

"Ah yeah." Except he didn't get laid and the blatant truth of that was still a little stiff in his underwear.

"You going to be back from breakfast? Because no joke by the time my head hits this pillow I'm out." Humming as he watched his struggling love interest slink through the room and mouth a quick sorry before ducking through the open door, Shinkai weighed up his options.

"I don't know, I'll get back to you on that. It was a good night." A great night if he was honest, reconciliation was the best feeling in the world, that having hot, heavily muscled company wasn't such a bad thing either.

"Well if you come home please be quiet, I'll keep some chocolate in the fridge so help yourself."

Hanging up with a flick of his wrist, Shinkai hopped off the bed and pulled up his slacks. His head felt a little dizzy standing up but it would be nothing some food and water couldn't fix. Coming to stand in the doorway, he cocked a hip to the threshold, watching the toned man standing in front of the sink, water running and cutlery clattering.

"Sorry about that just Yutto giving me an update on last night." Coming into the kitchen, he slipped his arms under Muscle's waist, chin on his shoulder. "Good morning." Watching a steady blush begin to spread out across the dark haired man's neck and ears, Shinkai kissed his cheek softly. "You want some breakfast?" Turning in his embrace, face pink, Izumida licked his lips, eyes to the floor.

"I-I'm surprised you're still here" A little put out, the brunette cocked his head to the side.

"Oh? And why is that?" Coming in close for a quick kiss, the pair locked arms around each other.

"I just thought..." Breaking apart, Izumida shrugged. "I mean I just kind of assumed you'd be the kind of guy who leave the morning after, not that there's anything wrong with that." Shaking his head at his mumbling, Shinkai pushed a finger to his babbling lips.

"Usually I might be but..." Kissing him again, hard and wet, the brunette nipped at his bottom lip with a wink. "But you're different." Watching the blush intensify, the tall man stood back and stretched. "Do you think I can borrow one of your shirts? I think the one I have here is a little too formal for breakfast out." Nodding automatically, wide smile unshakable, Izumida gave Shinkai a final hug before heading back into the bedroom, fashion in mind.

Two stores down from the sweet smelling florist, a neat little cafe back out onto the street. Small, busy and with an array of pastries, the couple secured a small table with little issue. Any kind of food made Shinkai happy but with chocolate croissants and banana pancakes, nothing could make him happy beyond company of course.

"I hope I'm not keeping you from work." Glancing over the menu at him, Izumida shook his head.

"No no, Kuroda said if I came in today he'd call the police and bar me from entering." Pulling a face as he remembered the aggressive young man Shinkai wouldn't put it past him.

"I'm sure he's just looking out for you. When was the last time you had a day off?" Shrugging, Izumida looked thoughtful.

"About three months ago. For my brother's wedding." Had it been anyone else Shinkai would have thought they were exaggerating. But knowing the toned man as he did he knew there was no lies. Just pure dedication.

"Well one day off won't hurt you. Doctor's order."

"You're not that kind of doctor." Sharing a chuckle as they made their order, the brunette was happy to get back to reclaiming some closeness between them.

"So I should probably redo my membership at the end of the week." Cocking his head to the side, Izumida looked concerned for a moment.

"It was because of me." Reaching out quickly and taking his hand, Shinkai gave him a reassuring smile.

"Hardly, but you've got to admit, it was a little awkward." Rubbing the back of his head, the younger man agreed reluctantly.

"Yeah, horribly so. But it won't be now?" His tone held a question, so the brunette confirmed quickly.

"Nope, not now," rubbing a thumb over the other man's wrist, he raised his hand to his lips. "It'll probably motivate me in truth."

Laughing breathlessly, Izumida looked completely overwhelmed but was saved by the arrival of food which equalled enough to feed an army.

"Please beg my pardon Shinkai-san but where do you put it all?" Digging into a stack of syrup covered hot cakes, the older man shrugged.

"Hayato. Fast metabolism probably that and my thighs are hallow." Almost choking on his yoghurt and fruit, Izumida took a quick swig of coffee to ease the coughing fit.

"It would certainly explain their voluptuousness."

"But not Yutto's. She's skinny as a rake and can eat me under the table." Mixing his grains and fruit together, the other man accepted a bite of pancake, cheeks pink.

"Your sister is a very interesting individual."

Without a doubt Shinkai thought, thinking over his sister's various oddities.

"She is," he said slowly, dissecting the end flaky knob\ on his croissant. "But beyond interesting I think she just wants to be a normal chick with a cute boyfriend and a stuffed toy collection to the envy of every child in a mile radius."

"And isn't she?" Izumida said without missing beat.

Pleased by his immediate response, Shinkai was thrilled to see that his friend had spoken without false intention or pity. His tone and aura spoke only of rational and fact. To him Yutto was a girl, plain and simple, no awkward or complex alteration needed.

"She is. My god you're perfect." Pausing, spoon raised mid way to his mouth, milk dripping into the bowl below, Izumida gawked.
"You're very liberal with your compliments. I am in no way deserving."

Stretching his legs out beneath the table, Shinkai brushed a foot against Izumida's, watching him jump and squirm.

"Oh I think it's warranted. Are you done?" Looking down amazed, the toned man hadn't even noticed the plates before his companion were cleared. Left was only the sticky reminisce of some syrup and a brown piece of banana.

"Ah yeah sure." Waving him off as he paid both their bills without a fuss, Shinkai was feeling pleasantly full and maybe even a little sleepy. Cuddles on a compact little bed were good in theory but meant bad night's sleep in practice.

"Can I at least pay for something?" Coming back to Izumida's apartment to pick up Shinkai's shirt, the brunette was immediately lured into the florist, searching through for some brightly cut flowers and something eatable for Usakichi."

"You can pay me back for it later." Coming to stand in a section dedicated to wood and shrubbery, the taller man left the innuendo hanging heavily between them, hoping the intention would seep through. "Do you know what rabbits can eat?" They all kind of looked the same to him, but he remembered getting one some time ago and his little bun had simply loved it. Nowadays she had plenty of chewing items, usually in the form of chair legs and Yutto's wedges.

"Apple wood." Pointing to a bundle of branch tied together with zip locks, Izumida nodded with certainty. Raising an eyebrow, Shinkai grinned.

"You sound very sure, been doing your research?" Going to the cashier and forking out some loose change, the brunette had expected his companion to blush adorably and stumble with his words. Instead Izumida simply nodded confidently.

"Not particularly, but apple wood has a variety of different uses. Rabbit chew toy is only one of the many." Walking the sturdy stairs back up to his apartment, Shinkai took in the décor and surroundings in the daylights and smiled tenderly as they reached the front door.

"Just a walking encyclopaedia aren't you?" Shrugging and gesturing for him to come inside, Izumida waited until the door was closed before tentatively reaching out and bringing the taller man in for a kiss.

"You're too kind, Shinkai-san, really." Linking his arms around Izumida waist, the brunette refused to let him go, pulling him in for a deeper kiss.

"Hayato please and I only give praise when it's deserved and you..." he said emphasising his words with a quick nip "are very worthy of it."

Almost crumbling under the kiss sweets, Izumida could still taste the bitter chocolate and sweet dusting of icing sugar that had come with his lover's breakfast. Hands at his back moved to span out against his chest and down quickly to the hem of his shirt. "Is it wrong of me that I just want to see you naked a good eighty present of the time?" Shinkai's tone was teasing but the moment the toned man's shirt hit the floor, he wondered if the tease was legitimate.

"Not wrong." The younger man mumbled, feeling his lips tingle as they parted from particularly brutal kiss. "Not wrong if you join me."

That was an offer far too temping and with a very willing and now very sober Izumida eagerly seeking his attention it was hard not to act upon it. Shirt off, hands a tangle, Shinkai managed a single look behind him before he backed towards the open door of the bedroom and the single, squishy bed. Bumping the back of his knees against the mattress, he immediately sat back, offering Izumida a wide up and close invitation to join him. Snuggling into his embrace, the shorter man nuzzled in close to his lover's neck all but kneeling in his lap.

Hands clasping Shinkai's broad shoulders, Izumida tossed his head as hot, wet lips sealed over his nipples and shattered his balance. Still tender from the night before they were increasingly sensitive, bordering on painful as his lover's teeth gently nipped and teased around the pebbled nubs.

"You're so sensitive." Wondering if he should apologise, the brunette's grinned at the trembling mess of a man in his arm. "It's amazing." Licking over the soft bite and feeling the other man jump and shudder, Shinkai caught the other man's gaze. "Do you want to keep going? Or should we slow down?" Shaking his head, Izumida bumped his companion flat to the mattress, kissing him quiet.

"Now. Now would be perfect."

Beyond the hot slick sounds of skin sliding over skin, coupled with the traffic outside the pair could have been in their own little world. Soft kiss and firm touches soon had them both naked and aching for more. It had been a while since Shinkai had gotten a good lover, someone considerate, affectionate and more than just a sneaky blow job or quick hand job. Izumida was something entirely different, accommodating and warm, his every touch and adjustment made for Shinkai's satisfaction.

It was far too easy to be selfish but with the beautiful, marble come to live structure beneath him, the older man was sure to bring out all his best tricks. Izumida loved to have his nipples played with to an extreme Shinkai almost found odd, but the sensation literally brought the other man to his knees. Coming out of an intense kiss, the brunette's hips moved on complete instinct, cock brushing against his lover's muscular thigh. Moaning out loud and almost swallowing his tongue, Shinkai trembled. There was no way it had been that long that he would be getting off from a simple dry hump, and yet here he was.

"Hayato." Crying out, cheeks pink and body trembling, Izumida slid his legs around the older man's waist, anchoring them together. "Please." Smiling at the need and lust in his tone, Shinkai reached a hand down to his cock, feeling the heavy weight and heat in his palm. Wrapping a steady hand around his lover's pulsing arousal, fingers stroked up and down the hot flesh, wringing shaky cries of pleasure from Izumida with each roll of his wrist.

Feeling the rock hard muscles bunch and twitch under his touch, Shinkai crawl further forward, aligning their hips together for greater friction and heat. It was awkward trying to grip both their pounding hard ons, especially in his current position so he was thankful when Izumida pushed him off to the side, laying side by side both hands linked in a fist bringing them deeper into pleasure.

"H-Hayato..." Fumbling over his name, the toned man's face burned like fire, blush leaking out over his chest. "So good. Thank you." Unable to stop the chuckle, Shinkai kissed him hard, finishing with a moan as Izumida thrust his hips forward, adding to the heat and pleasure stemming from their groin. "I'm sorry."

"You say sorry one more time" the brunette warned. "I'm going to shove my tongue down your throat. And not stop until you're begging me." Making a soft whimpering noise, Izumida could only nod, biting back the automatic apology.

It was like he was under some kind of spell and nothing else matter. By this point with anyone else Izumida would be too embarrassed to continue. His body should have seized, fear would be eating at his system and he'd be unable to look his lover in the eye. Instead he was staring into Shinkai's deep blue eyes with zero fear or anxiety. With arousal pumping through his veins, his fingers dug into the brunette's thighs, delighting in feeling of muscle beneath his hand. Cock aching, the strength in Shinkai's grip had him squirming and arching his back hard against the mattress.

It was a complete overload of sensation and with keen eyes zoned in on the older man, Izumida was thrilled to see shudders of pleasures and increasing sounds of desire coming from his lover.
"God I'm close, feels so good." Spurred on by the encouragement and the heavy tingle starting at the base of his spine, Shinkai managed a deep breathe.

Letting the feeling over take his entire being, Izumida pushed his face into Shinkai's collarbone, biting his lip as the tension became too great.
"Hey, don't do that. If it feels good say so." Craning his neck to the side and planting a kiss to his lover's already blushing cheek, the brunette blew gently in his ear. "Come on, tell me how good it feels."

With a sudden flick of his wrist, Shinkai felt a shiver run down the younger man's spine. Back arched, cock leaking pre cum down into clean sheets, Izumida moaned loud and long, forehead tucked under his lover's chin, he barely managed to form words.
"Hayato, it's so good. I can't... I..." Crying out suddenly as his body shook and trembled, orgasm had the younger man weeping tears of joy as the most intense sense of relief washed over him and dripped in heavy streams over Shinkai's tightly clenched fist.

Watching Izumida come apart under his hand was intoxicating, addictive and incredibly sexy. Cumming seconds later, the slickness brought on by his lover's seed made orgasm ten times sweeter. Tossing his head back against the pillow as he rolled over flat on his back. Chest heaving, hair sticky and sweaty, Shinkai grinned. Reaching out tenderly, he brushed a clumsy hand over Izumida's face, feeling the heat on his cheeks.

"Wow, that was..."

"I'm sorry, I came too quickly, I should have waited until you'd-" Raising up on his knees, Shinkai pinned the shorter man down, hands on his shoulders.

"Opps, what did I say?" Shuffling his shoulders against the mattress, the toned man shivered as sweat dried on his body.

"Ah, you said you would shove your tongue down my throat." Grinning at his flustered state, the brunette nodded slowly.

"Oh yes I will."

"Nii-chan! Have you seen my cute little pink socks?" Peering around the door way to the tiny, cramped laundry, Shinkai shook his head. In truth their laundry looked like a bomb had hit it, partly due to his inability to sort colours and whites and Yutto's inability to sort period.

"If they're anywhere it's in this mess I'd kiss them good bye because they're probably gone." Pulling a face, her face grim, Yutto nodded.

"I was afraid you'd say that. Just an excuse to wear my new creepers I suppose."

"It's just a picnic you know, you can wear flip flops." Sniffing as she exited the laundry, Yutto waved him off, making a beeline for her room.

"Says you who's primped and preened all morning." Cocking her head to the side as he passed, his sister offered him a wide smile. "You really like this guy eh?" Flashing her a quick smile, Shinkai leant in and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, I kind of do." Straightening up, he gave her a pointed look. "But that stays between us okay?"Giggling, Yutto covered her smile with a hand.

"Whatever you say. But I think it's super cute." The harsh buzz of the door bell cut through any further discussion, leaving Yutto to finish her search and Shinkai on greeting duty.

It had been Yutto's idea to hold a picnic and Fukutomi had been all too willing to agree. Mei it seemed was dying to see her favourite aunt and uncle and Shinkai was all too happy to have her. And Touichirou of course. Getting him on a day off was a challenge but with Yutto's intervention and Kuroda taking on a couple of extra shifts, his boyfriend was now joining them.

Opening the door with a wide smile he crouched slightly, expecting a bright eyed, bouncing Mei to come rushing in. Instead Izumida's blushing face and a potted plant greeted him.

"Oh hello, welcome." Bowing slightly and slipping off his shoes, the toned man held out the plant at an arms length.

"Thank you for having me. It's a peace lily, it's really pretty but Usakichi shouldn't eat it or it'll make her sick." His flurry of words made Shinkai smiled and he took the flowering lily happily. Izumida's was as nervous as ever but just as sweet.

"Thank you so much, it looks amazing. I'll put it up on the fridge where she can't reach it." Beckoning him into the kitchen and placing said plant in the convenient location, the brunette wasted no time in pulling his lover in close for a kiss.

"Really thank you. It's gorgeous, just like you." Blushing to his ear tips, Izumida melted into Shinkai's touch, convinced he was going to pass out or something equally as embarrassing.

"Hayato please, I don't deserve-'"

"Yes you do." Not letting him finish, the older man kissed him silent. Jumping apart as the door buzzed again, Shinkai winced as he heard Arakita's ranting through the door. He gave Izumida a look that could only be described as smoldering. "You're perfect."
