"Hm?" Keiji caught me staring at his face. "Is there something on my face?"

Aside from your dashing looks no.

"Oh it's just I want to pluck your eyebrows..." I stare at the little stragglers.

"When we get home you can." He smiles.

"Really?" I couldn't help but get excited.

"Of course." He pecks my cheek. "Let's finish our research and go home."

And so with added motivation we finish what we could of our project and head home. We ate a full meal before relaxing on the sofa watching whatever was playing on the TV.

"You sure its okay?" I ask one last time as I angle his head to look at me.

"Yeah. I don't see why not."

"Okay then! Try not to squirm so much."

I sat on the couch while he sat on the floor so that I could have easier access to his face. He leans his head back in between my legs and start plucking away the stragglers.

"Did that hurt?" I ask worriedly as a tear slips out of his eye.

"Just a bit." He chuckles.

"Sorry." I kiss his forehead as an apology. "Just a few more to go."

By the end of that he looked even better than before. If that was ever possible.

We do our night routine together and he even asks me to put on some moisturizer on his face. I love this man to death. Just before I got to bed my phone rang and it was from my group mate from another subject.

"Go ahead. I gotta take this." I sigh and pick up the phone.

My group mate, a guy, just called in to ask some details about tomorrow's meeting and such. The conversation took around 30 minutes as he was also asking about our chosen topic. Finally the call ends and I could finally sleep.

"Anything wrong?" Akaashi asks as I slip under the covers.

"You know that guy from physics class?" He nods. "He just called about tomorrows meeting."

"Oh right you'll be gone tomorrow..." He nods to himself.

"Is it okay? The other members can't come so it'll just be us two..." I unconsciously fiddle my fingers under the covers.

"Of course. Just be careful out there." He takes my hand and kisses the back of it. "You don't need to keep asking me for permission to do things. Though I kind of like it."

"Sorry. I just got used to...you know." I sigh remembering my toxic ex.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that." He pulls me in a hug.

"Sor-ah I mean thank you?" We both laugh at my awkward attempt. "But yeah, thank you for everything."

"What is that everything?" He teased.

"Oh shut it. You know what I mean." I hide my face in his chest.

"You don't ever have to feel trapped ever again." He runs his hand through my hair. "Now that I think about it, it's obvious that your ex was insanely insecure."

"How do you say that?"

"I mean if putting on skin care, painting your nails, or wearing make up makes you less of a man then they really were less of a man than they thought. If that is all it took to make them less manly." He smiles. "And the truth is in a relationship one still has to have their own private lives. Even if we are in a relationship that doesn't mean you can't hang out with others."

"Mmmm." I nod in agreement feeling a bit sleepy with his speech.

"And plus I trust you and I hope that you trust me too."

"Of course I do." I slur falling sleepier as time passes. "I love you Keiji."

With that I fall asleep.

"I love you more." Keiji chuckles softly. "Good night."
