(a penthouse, but truly, they should have a mansion on the beach or something. somewhere more ostentatious, even more luxurious, but inupi needs to be closer to the shop, and while koko could make a case for them moving, this is important, isn't it?
once the door opens, koko drops his keys on the shelf, sheds his jacket, takes off the gucci shoes, and beelines to the couch. inupi's showering, he can hear it, and it's time he can get to read his financial books while he waits.
[Dinner was the last thing on Inupi's mind, really. Was he hungry? Yes. However, he was so tired today. Shin's managed to befriend a whole gang, somehow, which is great for business if there weren't just two of them in the shop. He loves it either way, but it means that as soon as he is done showering, he just wobbles over to Koko wordlessly and flops on top of him.
He crawls up to a comfortable position, head resting on his chest, hair still damp with the towel loosely resting on top. He might fall asleep just like this.]
(there's just a little 'oof' that comes from being flopped on, an arm immediately wrapping around the other's figure to keep him close to a beating heart. it's... awfully nice. telling koko that this would be his happiest place a few years ago would certainly cause rage, but right now? right now, it feels exactly where he is meant to be.
and also, if inupi falls asleep on him, he's never getting out. like a man who got a cat on top of him and doesn't have the heart to move it.
so, instead, he presses a kiss to the other's forehead, putting the book down only to flip a page without loosening the embrace.)
[He murmurs against his chest, relaxing completely. Years ago as kids they would sometimes relax like this, but it was more out of exhaustion and the lack of a bigger space. Now, it was comfort, especially when the familiar scent of Koko's expensive cologne still lingers.
He looks up at him, drowsy and lethargic, wrapping his arms around him a little more loosely. He knows he needs to greet him properly, and he'll get to it soon, but right he wants to bask in this.]
When are you just going to let me just take care of you? You don't have to work this hard.
(while he says it, he understands that it is never about the money for inupi. it's the sweat, the work, the company, and what it represents to him every step of the way into his adulthood.
still, there would be a tinge of pride if he simply could completely take inupi for himself, shower him in even more luxury, so that he'd want for nothing. it's a little bit of a fight in his brain, of whether he wants big and expensive, jewels and rings, or rather he just wants to stare at inupi anywhere he could, even if the space is subpar.
and the book is on the table for now, he wants both arms around the boy.)
The trends and expectations for the stock market next year.
[Even if he does have money from it, they both know Koko is the one who spends for everything. Heck, even their friends know. What Inupi earns is largely to just buy things he likes, or what Koko likes.
He pushes himself up, just enough so he can slide forward and kiss Koko, a firm yet lazy kiss, before he pulls back and smiles at him.]
... I know. At least take some damn days off, ok? The bikes won't run away, I promise.
(and neither is koko. he'd even dare to take some time off along with the other, either to lounge or to travel. anything was good enough. they went so far, and well, after all this, they have to enjoy it.
just as much as he enjoys the kiss, not pushing it into being anything other than what inupi wants to give him.
[Though he supposed Koko had more control over his time than Inupi did. Shin would let him. He knows he would. It didn't mean he wanted to help him when Shin wanted his help.
The gesture was appreciated though, even as he flops back onto him, preparing for a nap. Koko probably should consider self-preservation and kick him off, but Inupi isn't letting him, his damp hair probably uncomfortable against Koko's neck.]
Let's entertain the thought. Where should we go, what should we do if I take a week off?
(a week is an eternity in money talk, and if that doesn't say 'i love you' as loud as koko can, he doesn't know what else would express it.
it doesn't matter that his shirt is getting wet, nor that it's not particularly comfortable to have inupi like that, but who's koko to complain? instead, he's just bringing the other closer, setting his chin on top of the boy's head with a sigh.)
... You're like a cat, you know that? I thought I was the cat. Nope, you're the damn cat.
Let's go on a ride. It's been a while since we did that.
[He grins up at him, despite knowing that a.) Koko doesn't really ride and b.) He owns enough cars that he wouldn't need to ride behind Inupi on his single motorbike. It wasn't the most romantic suggestion, but it wasn't like Inupi really divorced himself from bikes.]
Don't know what you're talking about. I ain't a cat.
(it's slow, both asking for permission and giving the other a chance to just push koko back into his place, but if he's allowed, he'll shift them so inupi's under him, and there's a smile brightening up his expressions.
a ride wouldn't be so bad.
the kiss he presses on the boy's jaw is enough of an agreeing answer, tender and lingering, before he distances to take a good look at the other.)
I'll just have Kisaki cover me whenever you get that day off. Bastard owes me, anyway.
(therefore, he knows that he'll do what he can. if koko's really needed, he can call or do videoconferences, should there be an emergency kisaki can't deal on his own.
sharp eyes watch the expressions on the boy's face, the scar, the way he's just so comfortable and cozy like this, something koko doesn't see a lot with all their work and their fatigue.)
... I love you, you know.
(it's a little hard for koko to say it still - all the pushing and pulling he did, all the hang-ups, all things he could have done different but hasn't...
inupi should hear it more, deserves to know the truth that is evident, and yet, barely ever spoken. koko should say it more.)
[The I-love-you, not the day off. They're rich enough that Koko can afford a day off, and Inupi's great on the road. They'll be fine. The declaration came out of nowhere though, even if it's nice to hear. He smooths a hand over Koko's side, before he moves to cup the back of Koko's neck, leaning forward to kiss his cheek.]
I just thought you should hear it from me more often, alright? Don't think too much.
(definitely shouldn't make koko blush after all these years, but even if it's rather faint, it's present, the spot inupi kissed warmer than anywhere else.
being in love is a trip. he'll shush inupi with a kiss before he asks further questions.)
[He snorts, once they part from the kiss. At least he doesn't ask, but he never did learn to clean his mouth after all these years. Shin wasn't exactly stopping him either.
He was definitely willing to just stay here and rest, but his stomach growls after a while. He hadn't eaten since lunch, after all.]
(he was about to go in for another one, a more passionate one, but he stops mere inches from inupi's lips, interrupted by the complains from inupi's hunger.
later. you're not escaping him. kokonoi sits, a hand on the boy's knees as he fishes his phone from his pocket.)
[Actually that's not an answer. He gets off Koko just to readjust his position, but also to try to dry off his hair a little more so he can toss the towel aside.]
Maybe pizza. The really greasy kind. Unless you want your fancier stuff.
(he knows just the spot - that one where they used to order from, that was cheap, delicious, and kept both of them awake during movie marathons, late night talks, anything, really.
should be here in twenty, which means koko is definitely not eating in his suit. there's a kiss to the other's temple before he can stand up, removing his shirt so carefully as if it was made of gold (and there might as well be some in there).
to the dry cleaning hamper.)
I'm thinking I should get a tattoo. What ya think?
[He hums, even though they both know that isn't the case. Tattoos were nice and all, but unfortunately, it was just one of those things people really don't like.]
And risk going to jail? Losing all this money, this beautiful mansion, an amazing boyfriend I want to be with--, and a whole life ahead of me? That'd be a stupid mistake, Inupi... But, what clients may think affects that, too. Can't have it somewhere visible.
(fuck, koko almost spilled the beans. an amazing boyfriend he wants to be with forever. one day, it will feel perfect. calculated, as intended. he'll take inupi somewhere he can ask for it and have it happen if so, and hope to god he says yes.
not yet, anyhow. so the fancy suits get replaced by inupi's pajama's, solely because they were the first thing he saw.)
[He snorts, and he already kind of knows where Koko was heading with that, but he doesn't call him out on it. Koko's shy, and in a way, it's more amusing to watch him fumble about the idea. Inupi-- Well, Inupi's simple. He already likes where they are, and he likes working in the shop.
He stands up so he can toss the towel into the laundry basket, wrapping his arms around Koko so he can rest his chin on his shoulder.]
Wanna have it on your thigh? I'll be the only one to see it.
[He kisses the side of his neck, murmuring the words into his skin.]
(a contrasting pair. inupi's simple, and koko is an overthinker, a perfectionist to the very core. things have to fall into place, in ways that make sense to him, as much as he might struggle with it. he wants to complete that sentence, but in a way that the memory will sear itself in their minds in inexplicable ways. it has to be incredible.
speaking of incredible, the kiss breaks his trail of thought, and it's almost automatic how his neck tilts to the side to give the other more space, hands resting against the strong arms around him.)
A little possessive, don't you think, Seishu?
(he's just teasing, and the little chuckle and smirk might tell inupi that.)
[So clearly, he's allowed to be possessive. It comes with the territory. Inupi wouldn't deny such a thing even if it sounded accusatory instead of teasing. He sneaks his hands up Koko's shirt, his palms still cold, and presses them flat on his tummy as he smiles.]
(huh, inupi wants to play. the cold hands rise chills on his skin, and oh, boy. he even forgot the pizza should be on its way - instead, he'd decided to show inupi a little affection, since it seems like he's asking for it.
he turns, bringing his hands to curl around the other's shirt, slowly and teasingly, until it abruptly ends. his smile is the last thing inupi gets to see from his face in the time being before koko sets him on the nearest wall, lips attacking skin.)
[He laughs, his breath catching in his throat as he feels Koko's lips against his neck, the collar of his shirt wide enough to expose far more skin than necessary. It was an old shirt, ratty and probably in need of throwing away. He never does, even if Koko can afford to buy him some luxury t-shirt that probably costs more than his paycheck. He needed some place to rebel from all this fancy stuff.
He reaches up and curls his fingers into Koko's hair, letting the locks slide in the gaps between as he wraps an arm loosely around him.]
(definitely koko is the possessive one with how he licks, kisses, and pulls some skin between his teeth. there's nothing more beautiful to him, even in these worn out shirts, the little ways inupi keeps them humble, the smell of his soap... smitten doesn't begin to cover it.
it took him so long to admit it, to understand it, that he isn't going to let go. it shows in how eager he is to lift the other, wrapping legs against his waist.
he's not particularly strong, not like inupi and manual work that keep his muscles in check, but he's going to keep this for as long as his own allows.)
[Koko definitely isn't as strong as Inupi, but he can't deny how hot it is that Koko just lifts him up like that. The wall on his back helps with it, but it didn't matter. Koko's got his lips on him, marking him up as though claiming his territory, and Inupi has been too passive this whole time.
He wraps his legs around him securely, even as he tugs at Koko's shirt, enough to lift it up and slip his hands underneath, mapping the planes on his body with his fingers.
He rubs a nipple between his thumb and forefinger, his other hand sliding to rest on his back even as heat in his body builds up. The pizza place is too close to do anything more than fooling around, but it's easy to forget that with the feel of Koko's lips and teeth on his skin.]
(satisfying is to hear the curse word and the compliment leave inupi's lips, his hands, even as the other is completely capable to keep himself on koko's hips on his own, still support them and grip on the thighs as a response. his lips have been traveling, from neck to ear, where he kisses the lobe and nibbles, letting his sigh of approval from the touch to his nipple right where only inupi can hear.
the last thought on his mind is the pizza - with how the boy is wrapped around him, no space between their bodies, he's already forgotten all about it.)
Good is not even close to what I want to make you feel.
(his hand keeps the promise alive, sneaking to open the button on inupi's jeans. can't believe pizza is going to arrive with koko putting a dick in his mouth.)
(he's not in his right mind. this is the worst idea on earth. he should not be here. he mustn't, can't-- and yet, he is. from a distance, the white-haired man watches the bike shop, no interest on the display, but much more on what's behind it. it's been so long since he last saw inupi, last hugged him, last laughed with him, and it's becoming harder and harder to ignore the feeling that maybe he should. inupi wouldn't take him back, anyway. he seems... happy. fulfilled. a good life, doing what he loves.
and koko feels a bitter sting that he's not in it, half praying that inupi's eyes don't roam this way, and half begging them to.)
