~~~~~~~~~~~

The Japanese man smiled at the bouquet of beautiful crimson peonies that the florist held out for him.

His smile was bright, yet not wide. It was an almost-closed-lips smile, that reflected all the happiness bleaming into his chest, under thick layers of clothing.

He gently put the six dollars the bouquet had cost on the glass counter and took held of the precious golden and white wrap that held the flowers in a neat bouquet.

First, it had been a little stuffed panda; then, a box of chocolates. This month it was a bouquet of peonies.

Guessing Yao's favourite kind of flower had cost Kiku a long trip to a beautiful botanical garden, and a lot of effort to make Yao tell without giving him a hint about his present.

Soon, he arrived home. He could hear his dog's faint barks from outside the thick front door. He could hear Yao's giggles too. He opened the door, smiling softly to see the Chinese man playing with the little dog.

"Hello, love!" A smirk played in Yao's lips as he noticed the crimson bulge that Kiku was hiding behind his back. "Happy three months together!"

Kiku let out a little giggle, taking his coat off and holding the beautiful bouquet out for him. "Happy three months together, love." He said sweetly.

Yao's face lit up at his present, his smile growing from ear to ear. "K-Kiku! They're beautiful!" The Chinese male wrapped his thin arms around his boyfriend's neck, shooting dozens of kisses at his cheeks.

Kiku blushed at the kisses and smiled softly. He wasn't too fond of that kind of spontaneous cuddling, but he wouldn't push his boyfriend away.

Yao grinned happily and quickly took the peonies to a golden vase, filling it with water for the plants. He kept the wrap and giggled, running to their bedroom.

A few seconds after, the Chinese man held out a rather small, box-shaped package for Kiku. "Happy three months together!"

A soft blush took control of Kiku's cheeks, smiling softly and taking hold of the present. He opened it carefully, gasping in surprise.

"T-The last volume?! I was going to buy it this evening! Thank you, Yao!" His smile turned brighter, holding the last volume of his favourite manga. He still kept his hopes up for the main characters to kiss.

The Asian couple hugged again, smiling and giggling happily.

Many months had passed since Kiku met Yao. It was now a cold early-spring midday. Also, the three months anniversary since the two Asians started to date each other.

It was almost January when Yao confessed all his feelings for Kiku. The Japanese man had been feeling the same for a while, but being the introvert, reserved man he was, he had kept quiet until Yao proposed.

It had almost been a miracle. Zhen's shadow kept torturing Yao, telling him not to fall in love again like he had already did, only to get hurt. Kiku was too naïve and inexpert to even think about getting in a relationship, as big as his crush on Yao was.

Together they gathered up the courage to start something new, an amazing adventure in the word of love. A way to start living for Kiku and a way to fix Yao's fears.

Yao's learnt submissiveness and Kiku's shyness didn't leave room for fights or arguing between the two, only for support and comprehension. With time, Yao would be able to freely act and speak, and Kiku would learn how speak his mind.

The cuddly Yao had learnt to respect Kiku's precious personal space and the introvert Kiku had learnt that hanging out with Yao was fun.

They were a perfect couple.

Kiku held Yao close by his waist, wanting to make the man feel protected. He had really gotten used to cuddling sessions; even though he didn't exactly love them, he was aware that they made Yao feel better so he willingly cuddled him.

Yao smiled and purred softly, nuzzling into Kiku's sweet embrace. Often, their lips touched and kissed each other, making both men blush like crazy.

"I love you, Kiku." Yao wouldn't stop repeating that sentence, gently cuddling the Japanese man. Kiku would smile and stroke Yao's long, silky hair, kiss his forehead and sweetly whisper, "I love you too, Yao."

The little Shiba was cuddled up to their feet, nuzzling close and cuddling them. The two thanked him, he helped them keep his feet warm from March's cold.

Wrapped in a mant, Kiku and Yao would watch movies together, just to cuddle whenever they noticed a reference to them in the movie. An Asian character, two boys holding hands, a simple mention of their homelands.

Pochi always stayed close, happy to huddle into their warmth.

Kiku would have laughed at everyone he told him that he'd never be in a relationship without sex when he came out to his friends. He smiled proudly when he saw his reflection in a mirror, embracing a beautiful, slightly taller Chinese man.

When Yao finally fell asleep, the movie had finished. Kiku smiled and got up slowly, picking his boyfriend up. He carried him to their bedroom and tucked him into the blankets, making sure that he was warm.

A soft vibration from his pocket made him flick his head up, slightly startled. He reached from his phone and read the message.

<<Dude!! Happy three months together with Yao!! :D>>

Alfred had been the first one to know about their relationship. To Kiku's surprise, his American best friend had been shipping him with Yao ever since fall.

<<Thank you, Alfred :>>>
<<DDD! What were the presents this month?!>>
<<A bouquet of peonies and the last volume of my fav manga~>>
<<That's awesome dude! :D>>
<<Indeed it is!~>>

Kiku's eyes widened in half horror and half anger at Alfred's next message.

<<Sorry to ask bro, but have you two done the nasty yet? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) >>

It offended him. It just sounded so impolite, Alfred knew perfectly that Kiku had no interest in having sex. 'Yet'?! Was he even supposed to 'do the nasty'?!

<<Excuse me?>>
<<Yeah yeah, I know you're ace and stuff, but y'know...>>
<<That was very rude>>

Kiku couldn't believe it. For the first time ever, Alfred had disappointed him greatly. He had told the American what asexuality was dozens of times, and yet he asks something like that, implying that he was supposed to have any sexual activities with Yao.

<<No no no! I didn't mean to say that Keeks!>>
<<?>>
<<I meant, I've seen cases of ace people in Tumblr, who get a boy/girlfriend and slowly start feeling attraction. I meant that! ;A;>>

Kiku sighed. He was relieved by Alfred's explanation, at least he had done some research and didn't mean to offend him.

<<Hm? I've never heard of those but no. We haven't done... the nasty or have any intentions to.>>
<<Please Kiku don't get mad ;-; I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked like that!>>

Kiku sighed.

<<It's okay, silly u.u Just don't ask something like that again>>
<<I won't!! Promise! ^^U>>

Kiku smiled lightly. Truth to be told, Yao had always been respectful to him, he had never asked for intercourse, he knew how uncomfortable Kiku felt with those requests.

But now, Alfred's words wandered around his head. He didn't know about any asexuals who knew they were allosexuals* after meeting a certain person.

He frowned, shrugging it off and curling up in bed next to Yao.
