A very matchablossom book

With love

Dear Kaoru,

I miss you. I get it's only been a year since I left to go study in Italy, but I can't wait until I get to go back. Not that I don't love it here, of course. The second I get back, I'm cooking you a carbonara.

With love, Kojiro

Dear Kojiro,

I miss you too, and I also can't wait. And I expect the second you get back you'll be jetlagged as all hell, so I'll let you wait a day, just this once. Don't expect it to happen again, though.

With love, Kaoru

Dear Kaoru,

Only a year left until I can see you again! Are you excited? I am.

With love, Kojiro

Dear Kojiro,

Of course I am, you dim-witted idiot.

With love, Kaoru

Wow Kaoru, salty much?

Today was the day, not like he'd been counting. After countless email conversations, Kaoru would finally drive to the airport and get to see Kojiro again. He tried to act like it wasn't big, and he was right to do that, really, because it wasn't big. It was huge. After pulling into the parking lot, the male stepped into the airport and waited as close to the gates as he was allowed to go.

It didn't take long to see him, after all, he was huge. And it didn't take long for Kaoru to get sweeped into one of the gigantic bear hugs that he'd missed so much. Culinary school was tough, he was sure, but he knew that for Kojiro, them being separated was even harder. But they weren't anymore. They were together.
