Short summary: Yashiro gives Itsuki a spare set of keys to his place. The reason is simple.
“For you.”
Itsuki glances up from his computer screen and sees a pair of keys dangling from Yashiro’s right hand. They look familiar… Wait, that set is very similar to those for…
“Are these for… your apartment?”
Yashiro nods. “A spare set of keys, since my place is closer to the office than your place. You can come by any time.”
Itsuki accepts the keys and pulls out his keyring, full of keys for his own place, his parents’ place, the office… And soon it will have Yashiro’s spares. Itsuki has been to the apartment before and remembered it being tidy but a little bare, but more importantly…
“But don’t you just have one room?”
Yashiro chuckles. “That’s no problem. No matter how late it is, you can always sleep with me.”
Itsuki blushes. “Yashiro?” They are still at the office. Even if their relationship has been disclosed to everyone here, Yashiro can’t just openly speak of…
“Did I say something wrong?” Yashiro takes a step back, his lips forming a frown. “I can move to the couch if you don’t want to share.”
“No, I…” That is the opposite of what Itsuki feels. If Yashiro truly is so open to sharing a bed any time, then Itsuki will share that bed whenever he can. At this point it’s almost better to share a bed if Itsuki needs a good night of sleep; Yashiro’s warmth lulls Itsuki into a state of calm like nothing else can.
“I love how straightforward you are, Yashiro.” And Itsuki wishes he could be the same sometimes, but as long as Yashiro understands how much Itsuki loves him…
“Itsuki. I love you.”
Just like that. Yashiro’s response is perfect. Itsuki’s heart swells, and if he accidentally knocks his keyboard aside in his rush to stand up and plant a kiss on Yashiro’s lips, well…
(Later Touma asks why Itsuki sent him an unintelligible email, and Itsuki can only give him a sheepish smile in response…)
