that night, akutagawa slept the most comfortably he had in years.
in the arms of atsushi.
~
akutagawa's POV

i woke up to someone kissing the top of my head.

" hmmgh. " i groaned angrily. " what do you want. " i croaked.
atsushi laughed at me.
" what's so funny jackass. " i said threatingly.
" nothing. " atsushi said, still giggling.
" all that giggling says otherwise. " i state bitterly.
" yes yes, you're right babe. " he says, kissing my forehead.

i rub the sleepiness from my eyes. i sigh with content. " what do you want for breakfast ryuu? "

" hmm, i dunno. " i shrugged.
" eggs? " suggested atsushi.
" sure. " i said tersely.
" ok, eggs it is then. " atsushi said while getting up, and out of the bed. i yawned, still sleepy.
" i have to get ready for work i guess.. " i mutter to myself.

i follow in atsushi's footsteps and get out of bed. i stretch a little before walking to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

i did everything i usually do, and in the same order.
get out of bed.
take a shower.
brush my teeth.
dry my hair.
put on my clothes.
go to the kitchen to have breakfast.

it was like clockwork and nothing out of the ordinary, but something didn't feel right..
~
atsushi's POV

i get the stuff i need for breakfast.. which is just basically eggs and some pepper and soy sauce.

i hear something.

maybe it was just my imagination, 'cause i don't hear it again.
i sighed.

how did me and akutagawa exactly start dating.

' we were arch nemesis's when we met, so how on earth are we.. this. '
i think to myself.

it's useless to think about this stuff. it's not like I'll figure out the answer anytime soon.
~
i set up breakfast. put the eggs on the plates for the both of us, and wait for akutagawa to come out.

he comes out in his usual attire, which makes him look an emo 16 year old in all honesty. i get that his jacket is part of his ability or whatever, but couldn't he atleast make it look good?

anyways, we start to eat.

i can tell that he also felt that something didn't feel right. he's a lot more tense than usual.

a lot more.

maybe i can ask him about it.

" so i'm guessing you also thought something felt weird too. " i say, still chewing.
" yeah.. but i can't seem to figure it out. it's driving me crazy. " he says with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
" does it drive you more crazy than me~ " i try to attempt to flirt. he stared at me blankly. and then goes back to eating his eggs.
" yes. yes it does. " he says deadpanned.
" i- " i start to pout.
" how could you be so mean aku. " i say in a sulking manner.
" c'mon jinko, you know im just joking around with you. " he says while pulling me in for a hug and rolling his eyes.

i hug him back, but still pretend to sulk 'cause,who wouldn't want a long hug from akutagawa? the biggest softie in the world once you break down that wall he holds up.

" so do you have any idea on what it is jinko? " akutagawa asks me.
" nope. absolutely no idea. " i say, lifting my head up from akutagawa's neck.
" it's not going to do us much good if we don't even know what the threat is, let alone stop it. " he says.
" cheer up aku, it's gonna ruin your mood if you keep thinking like that. "

i tell him.

" i know, i know. but i don't want anything to happen to you. " he says. he held my face in between his hands as if i were made of glass. i honestly love this part of him.

warm and caring.
just like his hugs.

" just relax babe, we'll figure it out soon enough. " i say reassuringly, leaning in for a kiss.

when our lips met, he returned the kiss.
just because he says he hates me, doesn't really mean he does.
~
when we pull away, i get up to get ready myself.

" you should get to work soon aku. " i tell him.
" yes, i know. " he replies tiredly.

i kiss him goodbye, and then he leaves doorway, like any other day.
i sigh.

' i hope nothing bad happens. ' i think to myself.
