OBAKA! - shinkaza (oneshots)

One Winter Night.

*Context*
[Shinnosuke and Kazama, now 21, are dating and live together in an apartment in Saitama prefecture. Kazama is currently interning at a well established company and Shinnosuke is a full time content creator.]

.

"I'm home!", Kazama announced his arrival in a very tired voice. Although his days at office were fun most of the time, today was an incredibly busy day with lots of running around. He had field duty and since other seniors were busy doing other tasks, he had to run random errands for them. He was just an intern after all. Kazama felt happy to be able to intern at a company where others dreamt to get into. However, it really was taking a toll on his health.

He had been exercising to build up his stamina with the help of Shinnosuke. That guy was a lot bigger now, more than any of them had anticipated. Not all of the credit went to his days spent at gym, but one could say that it was mostly due to his regular efforts that he was this fit. And he was now helping Kazama stay in shape too. Kazama was barely out of college but it felt like he was a middle aged man with all the back aches he got.

"A little too late today, isn't it?", Shinnosuke's voice reached Kazama's ear. It came from the kitchen. Kazama quickly took off his scarf, coat and shoes in an organized manner and rushed inside to feel some warmth.

He went inside and saw Shinnosuke standing by the stove, stirring something in the pot.

"It was a busy day.", Kazama spoke, closing his eyes and breathing slowly to relax himself with the familiar smell and sounds, "I'm so tired."

Shinnosuke was about to say something when he felt Kazama gently hold him from behind. He smiled and took his free hand to rub along the arms that held him so sweetly. He could never get enough of it. Kazama was slowly getting more used to the physical side of showing affection since they got together. And Shinnosuke loved and cherished every single moment when Kazama did that.

"How was your day?", Kazama mumbled into Shinnosuke's shoulder, his face buried in the warm sweater worn by the other.

"Absolutely scrumptious, may I say." Shinnosuke laughed, "And very tasty too."

"Both are the same things, obaka.", Kazama said, still holding him and swaying, "But what do you mean, tasty?"

"I taste-tested the new Action Kamen bento collection. They were pretty cool, but there was this one big bento that was Christmas themed, and it was so freaking good! I finished 'em all."

"Your gonna be spending all your morning in the toilet, I'm sure."

Kazama let go of Shinnosuke, which made the other a little disappointed but it was inevitable. While he set the table, Kazama quickly took a warm bath to escape the bitter cold.

"You don't know how much I missed all of this at the office today.", Kazama said snuggling under the Kotatsu table. It was an old-fashioned furniture choice, but Shinnosuke wanted to have one at their apartment at any cost. Kazama went along with it, and ended up being the one spending the most time in there.

They both said quick 'thank-you's and started eating. It was a warm meal with several stories on the table. Kazama went on and on about how he liked the office and hated the seniors. Shinnosuke hyped Kazama up by adding his own (same) opinion. He also told some of his stories, like how he accidentally almost live streamed the taste-testing but didn't.

When they were finished, both of them cleaned up and Kazama did the dishes. The chore division wasn't a division as such. It was more like a common understanding where both of them took initiatives at all times to do any chores around the house, with Kazama being the one slightly more active.

After he was done cleaning up, he wiped up the counters and turned off the lights. Shinnosuke was in the bath since he usually preferred to take it after dinner. Kazama decided to go into the bedroom first. He was surprised to see that it wasn't messy, and glad to know that Shinnosuke really had been productive all day. He wasted no time in slipping inside the covers after turning the lights off.

"Already asleep?", Shinnosuke asked entering the room, seeing that only the lamp was on.

"Not yet." Kazama groaned, "I am so tired and yet I can't fall asleep. What is wrong with me? If I don't sleep now I'll be late for tomor-"

"Toru," Shinnosuke sat down on the bed and patted on Kazama's head, "Tomorrow's a Sunday. So you can sleep in all day if you want, even if you fall asleep late."

"Oh, right! I totally forgot. But honestly, I don't like to sleep in.", Kazama smiled, "Unlike a certain someone."

Shinnosuke tackled him playfully over the blankets, "Did I hear someone call my name?"

Kazama started laughing while trying his best to over power Shinnosuke too, but kept failing in doing so. That's also why he needed to be fit, to overpower Shinnosuke in their play fights.

After much wrestling around, Kazama finally gave up and tried to catch his breath from laughing so hard. Shinnosuke had all his weight pressed down on the other, his own hands intertwined with Kazama's. He was chuckling as well, while looking at Kazama who was flushed from all the rolling around. Shinnosuke loved to see Kazama like this. Not only because of his laugh though. But also because he loved to see him trapped under his hold.

Kazama, actually pretty quickly, could feel the mood in the room. He shifted into a more comfortable position to see Shinnosuke clearly in the lamp light.

"You're tired, right?", Shinnosuke said in a low voice.

Kazama shook his head and breathed, "Not really."

"But you're sleepy."

"I told you, I can't fall asleep."

Shinnosuke stared at Kazama, who was also doing the same.

"Are you sure?", he asked again, smiling this time, "It would mean a late morning tomorrow."

"I'm fine with a late Sunday morning.", Kazama smiled as well.

There it was, the playful smile that Shinnosuke absolutely adored on Kazama.

He shifted his weight as he reached the lamp to dim the light,
"Don't blame me for doing too much."

"I won't", Kazama reached out to the lamp dail before Shinnosuke, "I won't mind being tired tomorrow too."

Shinnosuke smirked mischievously, "Really?"

Kazama gave a soft smile and dimmed the light all the way down.

"Absolutely."
