Shouyou's drumming is a treasure, but Shouyou's voice? It lulls me the way the sea lulls a sailor, swaying me gently, to and fro, guiding me into a deep trance, where the only thought that echoes throughout my Shouyou-obsessed brain is "How lucky am I to have someone so talented and amazing?"

In the kitchen, cooking breakfast in our shared apartment with an apron tied tight around his slim waist.

Humming, simply enjoying himself and basking in the bright morning sun shining through the windows.

I sneak toward him from behind and embrace him in a loose hug that allows my hands to roam up and down his abdomen and hips.

"You're awake~" He coos softly, flipping the oven off and spinning around to face me. His arms find their way around my neck as he whispers, "It's about time~".

"Mmh~ Sorry to keep you waiting, my angel. Breakfast smells delicious."

"Haha, I bet it does. It's your favorite, after all. Why don't you eat before working on that manuscript?"

"Mmh, that's tempting. I might just have to consider that."

I move to plate the table and pour our drinks while Shouyou finishes up the food, and when everything's finished, we sit, say our thanks, and dig in.

Shouyou's food is the best, even better than Onigiri Miya's.

We eat rather promptly and finish just after the streets below us become crowded with people. The dishes are finished soon after, and, idly, I move over to Shouyou. Maybe just to be near him, or maybe because I crave his warmth.

Whatever the reason is for me wrapping him up in my arms, it makes him squirm in delight. The air begins to shift, a certain, familiar (and most certainly welcomed) tension begins to flick and flutter around us.

Shouyou presses his back deeper against my chest and glances up at me with a teasing smile and hinting eyes that I gladly return.

I trace my lips along his neck and plant a gentle kiss on his shoulder.

"Why're you so excited this morning~?"

"Just 'cause. 'Cause I love you," I purr into his nape, pressing a kiss to his forehead when he turns around to face me.

This is bliss. This is my home.

My life had started out cold and miserable, but, now, I spend every moment basking in sunlight thanks to my wonderful Shouyou.

With every fiber of my being, I promise to hold him close and love him for eternity, just as he does me.
