Short summary: Touya invites Yukihito out for lunch, only to tease Yukihito about his current situation with Akira.
“So you share the same apartment, wear each others’ clothes, sleep in the same bed, and you aren’t boyfriends?”
When Touya had invited Yukihito out for lunch (or brunch in Yukihito’s case as he had worked last night), Yukihito had expected conversation. Not grilling.
“We’re…” Yukihito sighs. Of course it sounds ridiculous when Touya says it out loud. It would to anyone who wasn’t living this life. But Yukihito knows Akira and would rather take this ambiguous relationship than no relationship at all.
“…Saving money.”
The explanation sounds weak even to Yukihito’s ears. Touya laughs. “Didn’t think Akira was that stingy.” He slaps Yukihito on the shoulder. “Tell him you can save money by sharing a shower too.”
Yukihito blushes as a certain image comes to mind. One time Akira had walked in on Yukihito in the shower and…
“Oh?” Touya, of course, immediately picks up on Yukihito’s embarrassment. “So something has happened.”
“Shut up.” Akira had fled, and Yukihito had hurried to cover his lower… And turned the water to cold…
Of course this is the moment Akira stops by their table and checks in on them. “Are you alright, Yukihito?”
Yukihito lowers his head into his hands. Touya laughs. “Ah, just get him a cold glass of water. And a kiss to make him feel better.”
Water sounds good. And a kiss… “Touya!”
There is no hiding his fluster. This is another thing that Yukihito and Akira will not talk about in order to keep things… What…
Yukihito remains stunned after Akira walks away, having kissed… having kissed his forehead! “Feel better,” Akira had murmured. As if that was the problem!
Yukihito refuses to talk any more to Touya for the rest of the meal, but what would he even say with the way Touya is still laughing…
