Through It All (LevYaku fanfic)

Patience is Love: Chapter 20

Do lifelong partners always appreciate the time they wake up in the morning and see their partner's face next to them? If they don't, then they should. Morisuke stayed in bed for a few seconds with his eyes closed. He refused to move, afraid that he wouldn't find Lev beside him after all. Maybe it was all just a dream conjured by the never-ending need and pining for the younger man. He had to count to ten before slowly opening his eyes and releasing a shaky breath when Lev's sleeping face welcomed him. He had to take a trembling breath and slowly release it before smiling and whispering, "Good morning, my tiger..."

He planted a soft kiss on those plump lips before slowly and gently untangling himself from the tight embrace of the sleeping giant. He had to prepare breakfast for Lev before the cafe owner went home to change his clothes. What did he have in his fridge anyway? American style or Irish? Hmmm... With Lev's appetite, a full Irish breakfast should be good.

He winced a bit when his lower back protested his movements but he continued to slowly get himself out of bed to play housewife for Lev. He chuckled at the notion. He's gonna be one hell of a bitchy housewife and he admitted it. He limped to his closet and picked a shirt. Should I go for the oversized shirt to look sexy? He rolled his eyes and picked one of his normal shirts and wore a pair of boxers but did not bother wearing shorts.

He made his way to the kitchen and turned on his coffee maker. As the liquid dripped into the pot, he took out the ingredients for breakfast and defrost them before walking to the hallway and picking up their scattered clothes. His lips curved as the memory of last night's adventures came flooding back. Who would have thought that he was brave enough to take a picture of himself with fingers up his ass AND send it to anyone? To masturbate while on a phone call? To invite anyone into his den? To willingly kneel and suck someone off? No one. Not even Yaku Morisuke himself.

With a shake of his head, he took the discarded clothes and put them in the hamper. All but Lev's underwear which he put on the kitchen table before he went to start preparing breakfast. When his phone pinged, he blinked and picked it up to see the message.

~You're a bad bad bad maaaaan~ the message read that had him chuckling. It was Kisu Romanov, his best friend from uni.

~I knew he was your type~ he replied and put the phone down so he could start on breakfast. He had to make sure he was finished before Lev woke up. He also knew that Kisu was not the type to reply fast to friends so he did not worry too much about it. He heated up the pan and dove into the task of being Lev's caring partner.

Lev felt something missing in his sleep, he furrowed his brows, and opened his sleepy eyes to find no Yaku. He slightly may have started to worry, until he heard distinct cooking sounds. Aww. He stretched, smiling, and got up and walked to the kitchen to greet Yaku, thinking of where he left his underwear. "Good morning, my Love."

Morisuke turned to look at Lev and smiled. "Good morning, my Lev." He greeted, unbothered by his messy hair and slightly rumpled look. Sweat dotted over his brows and his face had become pinkish from the heat of the stove but he was proud and happy that he was almost done when Lev came. "It's almost done. Go sit and wait for me to serve it."

His phone pinged once more and the message showed up on the screen. ~Oi! I heard you had a date last night. I'm jealous. So you finally had the guts to date your Tiger?~

Lev didn't mean to see the text, but his face was close to the phone as he was bending to put on his underwear. He smiled to himself. His Tiger, so I'm not the only one who confided to friends about my Love. "You have a very happy Tiger to contend with this morning, my Love."

Morisuke was still plating, humming softly. When he heard the ping, he chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, I know, Tiger," he looked over his shoulder and smiled at Lev. "Now, can you check that message and see what he wants?"
