Perfect Catch

--49--

Yuya grunted as he continued to try and wrap the present. Lulu had given him the idea of buying Yuto a new knife as he had found his love of cooking once again. Now, Yuya found himself trying to wrap the cursed thing. Tapa was sticker then he expected and he found himself getting stuck to himself. “Would you like some help?” Yuya looked up, seeing Shay with a smirk. All he did was nod, almost as if he was defeated and Shay pulled up a chair. “These are pretty good knives.”

“Sis helped me pick them out,” Yuya sighed happily.

“So, the shopping trip went well,” Yuya nodded. “I’m glad. What did you get her for Christmas?”

“I got some earrings for her,” Yuya explained. “She said she thought they looked pretty.”

“You know Yuya,” Shay let out a small chuckle as he continued to wrap the present. “Because of you, Yuto has truly come out of his shell. He’s becoming more outgoing and he’s his old self again. I’ve never been happier to taste his cooking.”

Yuya blushed, he helped Yuto that much? He was glad that because of him Yuto was a good person. He continued to observe as Shay finished wrapping the present. It was truly impressive how paper could hide the gift the way it did. “You are really good at that,” Yuya complimented.

Shay shrugged, a cocky smirk on his face. “Having a younger sister who likes things perfect, gives you plenty of practice.”

“I’m home,” Yuya shot out of his chair, hearing Yuto come through the front door.

“Welcome home,” He greeted, yearning a quick kiss. “You’re home early, aren’t you?”

“Seems Declan is in the holiday spirit,” Yuto joked as the pair walked towards the kitchen. “Why don’t I make us some lunch?”

Yuya nodded, before leaving to clean up the mess he left in his ‘attempt’ of wrapping. He thanked Shay for the help and continued to grab his gifts to hid somewhere in Yuto’s room. He learnt you weren't meant to open the presents before Christmas day so he wanted to hide them well.

Sighing happily as he sunk into the dining room chair, Yuya felt full and satisfied. The food Yuto had cooked this time was truly wonderful. He never knew fish could have such flavour, especially when you’re used to it being raw. His lover laughed, cleaning the dishes from the table. “I see the food went down well,” He laughed. Yawning as he placed them into the dish washer. “Why don’t we take a nap? I could use some rest.”

Yuya nodded, running over and taking Yuto’s arm. Smirking, Yuto scooped Yuya into arms, warrying him bridal style to the room. As they walked, Yuya realised, his arms around his lover’s neck and his head buried into the broad chest. This moment, this feeling, he wanted this to last as long as possible. 

Yuya began to drift in and out of slumber as Yuto walked as he didn’t realise Yuto had placed him into the bed until he felt the covers over his body. Slightly more alert, he watched Yuto undress with half lidded eyes. Human bodies where truly interesting and he was sure, the more he saw Yuto’s body, the more features he noticed. “Like what you see?” Yuto chuckled, leaning over Yuya and kissing his lips. Groggily Yuya nodded, he wrapped his arms around Yuto’s neck again. “I love you.” Yuto whispered against Yuya’s lips.

Yuya smiled, smashing his lips against Yuto’s. The older male moaned, climbing fully on top of his small lover. The kiss become small open mouth kiss, simply and loving. “I love Yuto too.” Yuya whispered pulling back. “I want to stay happy with Yuto forever.”

“We will be,” Yuto assured, rolling off Yuya and onto his side. “Are you nervous Yuya?”

Yuya rolled to his side, so he and Yuto were face to face. “About what?”

“About becoming human?” Yuto finished quickly. “I just don't want to think I'm pressuring you into anything.”

Yuya shook his head, grabbing hold of the older male’s hand. “I want to be with you,” He said lovingly, his eyes shining with happiness. “Nothing makes me happier than the thought of living with you as a human. If Yuto is happy then I'm happy too.”

Yuto swore he felt tears creep from his eyes. He was glad, he wasn’t making Yuya feel pressured. This was something they both wanted. This next chapter in their lives was going to allow them to grow older together, get married start a family. All these things and more. Yes, down the line they’ll become like other couples. Arguing over furniture, moaning because Yuto is working late but at the end of the day, they’ll be back in the same bed. Together.

Giving Yuya a finally kiss before he fell asleep Yuto knew this Christmas was going to be the happiest one in a long time.
