fetish { sunki }

thirty five.

once the two were settled in riki's house, jay left the apartment.

"so, i think we should talk about the living arrangement." sunoo sat in the chair parallel to riki's position on the couch. the younger had his formally injured leg propped on the coffee table in front of him.

"what do you mean, 'living arrangements'? it's not like we've never lived together before." the blond, (who's root's were now a jet black color), raised his left eyebrow.

"yeah but that was years ago, and we were in a relationship back then. now, things are different." sunoo replied but his heart felt a small ache at his own comment.

"okay then, let's discuss." the latter agreed.

"okay for one, do you have a guest room i can sleep in?" sunoo questioned. it would be even more awkward for him to sleep in same bed with the new feelings that he recently discovered.

"nope." niki replied nonchalantly. in secret, he didn't want the other to sleep in a different bed anyway. 

"ugh, okay then. i'll..." sunoo dragged on his sentence as he thought of where he could sleep. although riki had a couch, sunoo knew it would be extremely uncomfortable to sleep on every single night for however long he stays in the younger's residence.

"you can always sleep with me, sunoo." the blond gave a sly smirk, his comment had an obvious, different intention.

"no way." the raven's ears and cheeks flushed a bright red.

"why are you blushing?" riki tilted his head in a teasing matter. 

"anyway... we can come back to where i'll sleep. i'll take care of your meals and assist you with whatever you need since you're... you know." sunoo gave the other a sarcastic smile, trying to get back at the other for taunting him.

"hey, i wasn't the one crying over me like every day." the younger gave a confident grin. 

sunoo stood up from his seat, "fine then, if you'll be like that, i'll just tell jay to take care of you." the raven started to collect his items and niki's eyes grew wide, he didn't actually mean to offend the older, he was only joking.

"wait! i'm sorry, i didn't mean it. i don't want you to leave." sunoo gave a victorious smile to himself before slowly turning back towards the other.

"you don't?" the older decided to mess with the younger a little more. only to return the energy given to him, of course.

"no, i'm sorry. now can we finish talking. please?" the blond's sad eyes were sunoo's weakness and he knew it. the older tried not to coo at the sight.

"okay then, let's talk." sunoo smiled and returned back to his previous seat.

after speaking about whatever needed, it was now time for dinner.

sunoo knew riki missed having homecooked meals since he was in the hospital for so long. so he decided to make something easy but delicious. he wanted to give the younger a sense of comfort so he made a meal that he used to make when they were together.

when the food was finished, he assisted riki into the wheelchair so he could roll into the table. 

a comforting silence lingered in the air as the peacefully ate their meals. well, until sunoo felt eyes gazing at him so he lifted his head up from his food, only to meet the eyes of nishimura riki.

no one spoke as their eyes did all the talking.

"thank you, sunoo. this reminds me of when we used to eat food together every night." niki attempted to give a sweet smile but it only held sadness.

the raven looked back down at his food. undeniably, he deeply missed those happy nights. they would talk and laugh all night over a meal, even if it was just ramen. they were together and that's all that mattered to them.

sunoo felt himself on the verge of tearing up from the memories so he stood up and walked into the restroom without a word.

riki knew he may have been the reason that sunoo reacted like that so he just stared at the table. he shouldn't have said anything...

when the older returned, he returned with a smile. he didn't want to ruin the night with his sudden wave of sadness. even though, it was already ruined.

"i'm tired, could you help me into bed?" the blond asked quietly. sunoo nodded and grabbed the wheelchair handles to push the younger into the room.

the two came to the conclusion that sunoo would sleep in the bed as well. he didn't have many other options anyway. 

sunoo lifted the taller male onto the bed with all his strength. both of them still refused to speak, it was awkward now. after helping the other into his side of the bedding, sunoo went to the restroom to change his clothing before turning off the light and crawling into the other side of the bed. 

although neither of them were asleep, they faced opposite directions and let their minds run loose with thoughts.

"i don't want us to be this way, riki." sunoo spoke into the darkness.

"me neither."
