———
atsushi and akutagawa just finished a mission, involving information needed about fyodor's location.
unfortunately, shin soukoku didn't receive the information and instead engaged in a meaningless battle between the informant. in a sudden turn of events, turns out the informant didn't have any information on fyodor but wanted to fight the two.
shin soukoku were victorious in the battle but left with many wounds and injuries, it wasn't an easy fight.
the agency and mafia agreed to have the two males stay in a hotel for the night, then return in the early morning to discuss a new plan.
——— "this is the hotel we'll be staying at, jinko." akutagawa walks into the tall building, atsushi following from behind.
akutagawa checks them in and walks to their room. the agency is the one paying for their stay and they couldn't afford two separate rooms, so the two have to share a room.
shin soukoku enter their hotel room, there are two beds in the middle of the room, a big window on the wall next to the farthest bed, and a bathroom at their left.
almost immediately, atsushi falls onto the closest bed and digs his face into one of the pillows. akutagawa doesn't move but stares at the weretiger in annoyance.
"jinko, get off the bed! you're still dirty and you haven't fully healed yet, you'll get blood on the sheets!" atsushi groans and digs his face deeper into the pillow. "noo! im too tired", atsushi whines.
the ravenette groans but leaves it, he goes into the bathroom and changes into more comfortable clothing.
he puts on a soft black turtleneck and red and black printed flannel sweatpants.
akutagawa leaves the bathroom and hangs his previous clothes in the hallway closet. light snores heard in the background, he turns to atsushi. the weretiger has fallen asleep in his dirty clothes.
akutagawa looks at the jinko, atsushi's features have become more visible due to the sunset's reflection from the window behind him.
the jinko's skin still littered with dirt and some blood, most likely his. however, his skin still remains as pale and smooth as it was before the battle. his mouth somewhat open, exhaling light snores and some drool escaping the side of his mouth.
akutagawa admires the jinko's features. he would never admit it, but recently akutagawa has become closer for the weretiger.
their relationship has exceeded from enemies to allies, the resentment they once felt for the other was changed to admiration. akutagawa no longer despises the jinko.
he feels comfortable in his presence, the jinko's presence calms his anger. he enjoys his company and doesn't feel the need to be dishonest or rude.
he would consider their relationship, a strong a bond. they don't feel the need for words when it comes to communicating. they always know what the other needs or wants, they understand each other's words without speaking.
akutagawa walks towards atsushi, he stands over him, taking in all of atsushi's features.
'jinko..'
akutagawa slowly cups atsushi's left cheek, rubbing his skin with his thumb. he sits on the floor, now facing atsushi's sleeping face. his face, painted in a cherry blossom pink.
'what am i doing? he was my enemy, i despised his existence just months ago! why am i doing thi-'
akutagawa's thoughts are interrupted by his hand on atsushi's cheek slightly moving. his attention now on the jinko.
atsushi slowly starts to open his eyes, the gleam in the sunset's light. akutagawa's cheeks flush a deep red, he removes his hand from the weretiger's cheek but a hand pulls on his. akutagawa looks back at the atsushi.
atsushi tightens his grip on akutagawa's hand and looks up at the ravenette, he smiles. akutagawa is confused.
atsushi leans into akutagawa's touch and pulls him closer. "thanks aku, for allowing me to be your partner and taking the time to fix our relationship", atsushi whispers.
akutagawa is stunned by atsushi's words. he can't find the right response, his mouth won't comply with his thoughts. he manages to stutter something small.
"j-jinko.." he whispers, akutagawa can't explain what he's feeling. his emotions are scrambled and confusing, he's never has a problem with his feelings but the jinko just mixed his like it was the easiest thing in the world.
"aku...thank you, for everything." atsushi's grip loosens a bit on akutagawa's just enough for him to remove it.
akutagawa removes his hand and slowly moves it on top of atsushi's head, he twists the roots of his hair. atsushi looks up at akutagawa and gazes at him in awe.
"a-aku..?" atsushi stutters. akutagawa smiles and sits back down on the floor, his face now mere inches away from atsushi's.
akutagawa leans his forehead on atsushi's, nuzzling his nose against his. he closes his eyes and quietly giggles.
"atsushi...your magnificent. don't thank me, i should be thanking you. you've saved me from many enemies, including my own mind. you helped me find a meaning in life. thank you, for saving me jinko." akutagawa whispers.
