Under the Shining Lights

How To Love Me

Leo stirred, rubbing his face against something fluffy. Blinking his eyes open, he saw that that fluffy thing was Yuichi's chest. He must have taken his shirt off at some point last night. Yuichi was still asleep, so Leo took a moment to study his boyfriend.

His face was adorable, his cute button nose twitching in his sleep and Leo loved how extra fur was on the sides of his face. His ears, which were hanging loose, only added to his adorableness. Leo sleepily reached up and lightly rubbed the floppy appendages, giggling when they twitched. He cupped the sides of Yuichi's face, squishing his face. Leo sat up, straddling Yuichi's waist, letting his hands drift over Yuichi's chest. 

Leo tugged at the collar of his hoodie. Yuichi was hot. 

Leo hadn't seen him without his shirt yet, but god, was he glad he did. Even though Yuichi was covered in fur, Leo could still see toned muscles underneath, a hard-earned physique from whatever he did to work out. Leo could feel the firmness of his pecks on his fingertips and it took everything he had not to squeeze. The warmth he felt emanating from his boyfriend was both comforting and exhilarating, a stark contrast to the coolness of the morning. Leo licked his lips, trying to etch the image of shirtless Yuichi in his mind.

"...Enjoying yourself?" 

Leo snapped his hands back like he'd been burned, heat rushing to his face. For a moment, panic gripped him—he just woke his boyfriend up by touching him!

"G-good morning! How'd you sleep!?" Leo looked away from Yuichi, nervously smiling. 

"Don't try to hide it!" Yuichi laughed, sitting up and grabbing Leo's hands, "You were sneaking a touch!"

"What? Me? Sneakily touching my boyfriend's chest while he slept? No way!" Leo stuttered, shrinking into himself, "What would make you think that?"

"The fact that I wasn't actually asleep and felt you doing it," Yuichi hummed, a smug look on his face.

"What!?"

"Yup, I woke up when you started messing with my ears," Yuichi laughed at Leo's stunned face, pecking his cheek. "They're sensitive, Kokoro,"

"Noted," Leo muttered, pouting as Yuichi pressed more kisses to his face. His eyes drifted back down to Yuichi's torso, swallowing thickly. "When did you take your shirt off?"

"I woke up at some point 'cause I was too hot," Yuichi said, noticing where Leo's gaze was looking, "Like what you see?"

"I didn't know you were so toned," Leo mumbled, hesitantly pressing a hand to Yuichi's chest. At his nod, Leo began touching him more confidently, taking his time to feel up his chest. His mind wandered as his fingers dug into Yuichi's fur, the firm warmth beneath his fingertips making him shiver, "I should've asked you to take off your shirt earlier..."

"I would've if I'd known you liked it," Yuichi hummed, letting his hands fall to Leo's knees, "Glad to know you think I'm hot too,"

"Too?" Leo flustered, feeling his face burn red.

"Oh yeah," Yuichi purred, his thumbs rubbing circles into Leo's thighs, "I can't be the only one who thinks that,"

"I-I guess," Leo chuckled, chewing his lip, "It just never crossed my mind that anyone would think of me like that,"

"Leo, again, how are you a stripper?" Yuichi asked, pressing their foreheads together. Leo laughed.

"It's weird," Leo let his hands brush over Yuichi's abs, "I knew in my head that people could find me hot, but I never saw myself like that, you know?" He traced his fingers along the grooves of Yuichi's six-pack, marveling at the texture of Yuichi's fur, "I never connected it till now,"
