Third person POV:

Rin was waiting in front of Isagi's doorstep, why? Because his parents left him. So Rin decided to let him stay at his place, again.

"Rin!" Isagi said cheerfully as he opened the door and hugged Rin tightly. The taller male stayed still, surprised by the sudden embrace. But he eventually hugged him back and patted his head gently.

The younger male smirked a bit as an idea came to his mind. "Someone's a bit clingy today." Rin teased Isagi as he pulled out of the hug.

Isagi pouted slightly as Rin teased him. The taller male chuckled slightly as he walked back towards his car. "Geez, sorry." Rin mutters as he signals for Isagi to get inside the car.

Isagi got in the car and placed his bag on the backseat. Rin closed the car door and fastened his seat belt along with Isagi. The taller male started the engine and glanced at the latter, making sure he had his seat belt on.

Once he did, Rin shifted his attention to the road and started driving to his apartment. "So, how come you never told me you had a car?" Isagi asked as he looked outside the window.

"Does it matter? I just forgot." Rin replied shortly as he took a turn. In the corner of his eye, he saw Isagi mutter something under his breath. Rin raised an eyebrow, curious to what he said.

"What?" Isagi said as he noticed me staring at him for a bit. The younger male ignored him as he knew if he asked him what he muttered, he would just avoid the question itself.

After a few more turns in silence, the two reached Rin's apartment. After a long drive, Rin finally parks the car and turns off the engine. He took off his seat belt and opened the car door. The taller male walked over to Isagi's side and opened the door for him.

"Thanks." Isagi muttered as he got out, his bag over his shoulder. Rin nodded slightly as he closed the car door and locked the car.

The silence of the walk to Rin's apartment wasn't awkward, it was nice and calming as the two walked hand in hand.

On the way there, some neighbors of Rin were staring at them, one specifically thought the two were a couple who just moved in. Well, one of that thought is wrong. I'll let you guess which one.

"We're here," Rin muttered as he took out the key to the apartment door in front of them.

Opening the door to his apartment, Rin let Isagi get inside first. Mesmerized by the modern look yet homely feel of Rin's apartment, Isagi let out a little 'woah'.

"You've been here before, nothing new." The taller male pointed out as he closed the door behind them.

"Well, sorry. It's just so... nice," the older male mutters as he places his bag on the couch. Almost smiling like an idiot, Rin quickly looked away. When did he become this cute... Thought the younger male as the older male went to the kitchen to check the pantry.

Sitting down on the couch facing the kitchen, Rin pulled out his phone and pretended to be busy. In reality, he was watching Isagi very closely, not wanting him to accidentally trip, considering how clumsy he is.

"Don't tell me you'll try to 'cook' again," Isagi heard Rin say as he sighed and got up from the couch, leaning on the kitchen counter.

"Oh, sorry." Isagi mutters as he quickly walk away from the pantry, a weak smile on his face. Noticing Isagi's sudden change in demeanor, Rin's expression softened slightly, something he hasn't done in years.

Taking small and careful steps, Rin walked slowly towards Isagi. Sighing, the taller one wrapped his arms around the latter, resting his chin on Isagi's head.

"Stop apologizing for something you shouldn't..." Rin muttered as he took in the scent of Isagi's hair, closing his eyes as he could feel the shorter one relaxing.

Nodding slightly, the older one buried his face in Rin's chest, seeking warmth, comfort.

Noticing the sun already setting behind them beautifuly, Rin slowly pulled away, having a question in mind, already knowing the answer.

"Do you want pizza?" The taller male asked anyway as he tucked a few loose strands of hair behind the shorter male's ear.

A bit hungry, Isagi quickly answered, "Of course yes!" With a chuckle, Rin sat down on the couch manspread so Isagi can sit in the middle of his legs as he orders for the both of them.

"Pepperoni pizza?" Rin asked, resting his chin on Isagi's head once more. "Mhm," the older one nods as he watched Rin order.

After the order was set, Rin put down his phone on the coffee table in front of them just to hug Isagi by the waist.

Rin's touch was soft, tender, caring, even. It's been so long since the two have seen each other, let alone touch each other. Each of them longed to be with the other again, be close to each other once more. Isagi missed being in his arms, being protected, shielded from this terrible world.
