Ash POV

I was out on the streets of New York walking around because I had nothing better to do since Eiji was working when two little shit-balls ran past me, almost knocking me over.

Jeez, these kids. I thought to myself as I brushed it offa and kept walking.

I strolled into a sweets shop called Delectable Desserts. They sold mostly different kinds of cupcakes and tea and cookies. They have free samples everyday so I stop by often. As I was waiting for the employee to refill a sample tray with cookie crumbs and the other with tea in tiny paper cups, I heard loud bickering behind me.

"This tea lacks class. It's too sweet!"

"Oh shut up princess ponytail! This place has the best tea in this area! But it's no Chinatown that's for sure."

"Well then take me there!"

"What I'm not taking you to shit! You know what my men will do if they see me with you?!"

"Well if they're your men shouldn't you not care what they'll do!"

"Ugh why do I even try with you?"

"Because you have nothing better to do with your lame ass life!"

"Can you guys shut the hell up?" I said finally turning around.

You've gotta be kidding me.

I've turned around to see Sing with none other than Yut Lung.

"Oh this is so rich! You guys on a date or something? How adorable." I say while using a baby voice and making lovey-dovey faces.

Sings face heats in embarrassment and anger while Yut Lung crosses his arms and looks away, his ponytail whipping against Sing's face as a result.

"You dick!" Sing shouts while the other male makes silly faces at him.

"What are you doing out of Chinatown Sing?" I ask deterring him from his bickering with the long haired boy.

"I'm taking this ass-hat to get something different and better than that boring rich people food."

"Better! Ha! You make me laugh! I hardly consider that hotdog stand we went to as better shortie."

"It's better than leaves on a plate!"

Welp, they're back at it. What a weird pair.

"Okay stop! I'm sorry I asked. Jesus." I say turning around to leave.

Yut Lung and Sing just kept glaring at each other as I walked away. I was starting to get a headache.

I didn't even get my free sample :(

Hm 4 o'clock already? I should start heading home.

Eiji shouldn't be back for another hour or so. I guess that means I can have the place to myself in the meantime.

*time skip*

I walk in the front door and unlace my red converse, the silent apartment feeling weirdly calming.

I grab a Coke from the fridge and head to the our bedroom. Eiji hates when there's food in the bedroom so I might as well take advantage of this situation and be a rebel (huehuehue).

I walk in the bedroom, startled to see Eiji sitting crisscross in the middle of the bed. Not only that but all the sex toys we bought were layed out in front of him with the boxes scattered in the floor.

He was wearing a navy blue sweater with short-shorts that he only wears around the house. His hair was neat at always and he was wearing my reading glasses.

He doesn't even need glasses. He just likes to put them on sometimes to show that 'he's mine' whatever that means.

Not gonna lie though. He looks cute as hell right now.

Eiji notices me as he looks up shocked and I quickly hide the Coke bottle behind my back so he won't see it.

"Oh you're back!" He says as he picks up a paper handbook and starts to read. "I'm trying to figure out how some of these things work."

"You're home early," I say as I quickly slip the soda under the bed and then sit next to Eiji giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

"I wanted to come back early so I could learn about the toys we got."

"Hmmm I see," I say now moving myself behind Eiji and wrapping my arms around his torso, my hands interlocking at his front.

I rest my head in the crook of his neck.

Eiji reaches up, resting a hand on my head.

"Sooo-" Eiji started trailing off as I take in the sweet scent of his shampoo. "Now that we have the toys,...

who's gonna bottom?"
