finally;

How's the trip? Did you make it alive?

Tenka snorted. Kiiko was always looking out for them, wasn't she?

(Though admittedly after one goof where Tenka almost missed his train up to Tokyo and ended up having to throw himself off the platform to grab onto it, maybe her concern was warranted.)

His response was about as descriptive as Tenka ever cared to be-

long-distance: 💀💀💀💀💀
reunion after long-distance: 👍👌✨🔥🙌😊😊😊😊💕💖💞

Tenka shrugged as he put his phone away to charge. They said that a picture was worth a thousand words, after all.

Rolling out of bed was hard enough. It was even harder when Tenka was staying at Sousei's apartment for a couple days and he knew that even getting out of bed wouldn't bring him any closer to his boyfriend, not until he came home from his classes for the day anyway. Yet here he was, wandering around foreign territory and... still impressed at how clean it managed to be. Probably because Finals Week didn't hit yet so Sousei actually managed to maintain his usual level of cleanliness.

Padding his way over to the kitchen in nothing more than his boxers, barely obscuring a yawn with his hand, Tenka started the coffee maker. Alright. Step one to his day complete.

Step two was.... waiting for Sousei to get back, mostly.

So he did his usual Tenka thing and... made himself at home.

It was the small things first - poking through the cabinets to see how Sousei chose to arrange things when he lived on his own. Where did he put the plates that they'd scavenged from the attic? How about the chopsticks that Soramaru and Chuutarou had bought him? Truly, Tenka thinks that Sousei had the easiest home furnishing job ever, given how bad the Kumous were at throwing things away and also how much they loved spoiling their Sou-nii.

Then it was going through his DVD collection--

Which was really bare.

Except for their one copy of The Dark Knight that Tenka had spent all day looking for last Saturday -- of course this asshole took it!!

With a huff, he swiped it from the shelf and moved to shove it into his own backpack so he could take it back to Otsu with him -- and of course he managed to create a small avalanche of mail as he brushed his way back into the living room. Ah.

"Shit," he grumbled, moving to pick things up and put them back in their proper place before Sousei got home--

At least up until his eyes roamed over a Save the Date notice.

(For a second, the thought popped up in Tenka's head, 'Is it really wise to go through my boyfriend's mail when he's studying to be a liar and I'm pretty sure it's illegal?')

He read over it without even thinking -- just an invitation to a wedding, Tenka recognized it easily enough as he was sent the same one back in Otsu. Someone must've managed to get both of their addresses and sent it to both of them just in case.... but Sousei had already checked off the box that he would be attending, even marking down that he'd have a +1.

Tenka snorted.

They'd managed to do the exact same thing -- of course they'd be going to the wedding, of course they'd be going with each other, but neither of them sent the actual response since it was uncertain if the other had already sent it.

How domestic.

A jingle of keys managed to get him to look up though, just in time for him to catching Sousei walking through the door. Tenka found it a fun exercise to watch the expressions flicker across his face: the tiredness that school had imposed on him switching to the curiosity of whether or not his boyfriend was awake or not to when he actually locked eyes with Tenka, a flash of fondness followed by--

"You couldn't even be bothered to put on pants this morning? How long have you been awake?" Sousei sighed, raising an incredulous eyebrow even as he moved to take off his shoes. A second later, the coffee machine alerted them both to the pot now being ready for consumption. "Ah. That long."

Tenka couldn't help but find it funny how it still somehow sounded fond.

Putting the mail back where he found it, he crossed the room to greet Sousei rather immediately, leaning in for a kiss as soon as he was straightened again.

"Hey. How was class?"

"Fine," Sousei answered with a bit of a shrug. Some people would liken law school to hell, Abe no Sousei would liken it to.... well, just another day. Tenka snickered to himself, amused as he thought of how many people would call Sousei a dick for that.

Of course Tenka would think the same thing as Sousei wandered into the kitchen, casually asking, "So do I have to sue you for looking through my mail?"

"Don't make that joke..." Tenka grumbled, even as he reached into the cupboard to where he'd found the mugs and offered two of them to Sousei, "You're actually studying law and you know that I'm broke."

"Save it for court," Sousei deadpanned. Tenka hip-checked him and nearly made him spill the coffee - that actually managed to earn him a glare.

But Tenka was just laughing, amused at himself for his own antics as he set his forearms on the counter and comfortably rested his head on them, watching Sousei pour coffee for them both. In truth, they were more tea people but given that it was the first full day that they'd get to have together in some time, the boost of energy was needed. Yet despite the time and distance, Sousei still made Tenka's coffee like it was second nature.

(An extra spoon of sugar and more milk than Sousei's -- Tenka could be such a child even now.)

"... Hey, I'll send the Save the Date response, okay?" Tenka eventually broke the comfortable silence, tilting his head to look up at Sousei.

The other just gave an affirming noise, apparently already knowing exactly what Tenka was talking about. (Of course he did.)

Maybe it was that - that simple way in which they were always on the same page, even though they hadn't seen each other in months. Maybe it was the fact that this was so painfully domestic, Tenka waking up in the middle of the day and waiting for Sousei to come back from somewhere else and then just enjoying the chance to share a pot of coffee together. Maybe it was the fact that 'I love you' had been sitting on the edge of his mind since Sousei walked in the door. Maybe it was something else entirely, something he couldn't explain, but something motivated Tenka to ask next--

"Think that we'll get to send one of those out soon?"

The first change in Sousei's expression was a quirk of his brow, followed by the ever so slight upward turn of his lips. "I'm not going to law school and planning a wedding at the same time, you idiot."

"Hey, I could plan it!!"

"Only if we want the theme to be Disaster."

"You suck."

Sousei rolled his eyes and settled for offering a mug to Tenka. A moment later, the question left his mouth, "Are you in a rush?"

"Nah, not really," Tenka answered that much easily even as he took a pause to drink some of the coffee he'd been waiting for all morning. ".... just making sure that we're on the same page, you know? We never figured that whole part out."

His partner emitted a soft noise of understanding, shaking his head faintly then, "It will be fine. It always is."

How.... simple.

Tenka laughed then, wondering whether or not they were agreeing to put this conversation out of laziness or something else entirely.... but he just settled for sealing the agreement with a brief kiss.

"Right. We always are."




When Tenka picked up his phone again (after he snorted at Kiiko's only response to his text being the middle finger emoji) he sent one more text back:

i think I just proposed?

Her response was lightning quick--

finally.

Unable to stop himself, he cracked up in the car, earning Sousei's confused glance at the next stoplight. Tenka just turned to him, looking at his favorite husband-to-be. Sousei was really something else in all his casual glory that only saw the light of day when his boyfriend was in town. Tenka just gave him a grin in return before taking that half-second to claim a quick kiss while he was at it.

Yeah.

Finally.
