Operation: Love ♡ | SabiGiyuu

Step 1 | Complete ♡

Saturday, 10:30 AM

Sabito stared out the window and into the garden built by the owners of the cafe, a handful of students and locals swarming in and out of the cool and drunk-like aroma like honeybees.

The bell jingles that indicates a new customer has arrived reached the male's ears, causing him to divert his eyes upon the door, perking up at the sight of a familiar long-haired, raven-coloured hair tied into a ponytail.

"Giyuu!" Sabito beamed as he saw the said male walk in the cafe and look around cluelessly for the infamous peach-coloured hair, on time as usual.

Giyuu heard the familiar voice ring in his ears and snapped his head on the general direction of the other male. He smiled as he sat down in front of the male, aware of the adoring eyes Sabito made.

"Sunshade Cafe is calming, a great place if you want to relax." Giyuu, surprisingly, is the first to initiate the conversation, looking out the window, taking in the breath-taking sight of the garden. "The Shimamoto siblings really take good care of this place."

"Akumu is fond of this place so it's no surprise." Sabito replied, meticulously scanning the male's face in front of him, then realised he's not wearing his usual haori.

"You didn't wear your haori?"

"Hm?" Giyuu hummed in reply, facing the lavender-eyed male in confusion, simultaneously catching him in a trance he couldn't get out of, ice eyes swirling with life.

"Y- Your uh... haori." Sabito stuttered out, trying so hard to fight against the blush creeping up his cheeks at the innocent eyes that caught him off-guard. The raven-haired male ran his hand along his shoulder, then realised what Sabito is trying to point out.

"Ah," Giyuu sighed out, a small smile gracing his lips at the thought of the other male caring for him, eyes slightly narrowed down. "I thought it would be meaningless to wear it, since it's just a casual day."

"Don't you feel weird?" Sabito asked him, causing him to ponder over his question, humming out a tune as he rested his elbow on the table, placing his chin on his open palm as he looked up, admiring the minimalistic yet design of the ceiling, his fingers drumming on the surface of the wooden table.

"I do, but it doesn't hurt to try a new style today." Giyuu grinned at the other male, unknowing sending yet another Cupid's Arrow on Sabito's heart, his lungs squeezing out the remaining air he has at the breath-taking sight.

"I guess." Sabito chuckled as Tokito approached them wearing casual clothes but a pin with his name shone under the sun from the window, placing down 2 cups of matcha green tea in front of the two future boyfriends, a gentle smile on his face.

Giyuu is the first to notice the drink appearing in front of him and his eyes trailed over to the male, surprising him.

"Tokito." He called the male's name out, pulling Sabito out of the grasps of his mind and thoughts as he snapped his neck to stare shockingly at the said male. "I didn't know you work here."

"I work at Saturdays and Sundays so it won't be in the way of school." Tokito beamed brightly as he let go of the cups. "Any comments about the cafe?"

"It's calming." Sabito and Giyuu complimented in unison, causing both males' cheeks to be immediately adorned in red and turned away from one another, causing the server to giggle.

"The drinks on me, don't worry about paying." He chirped, waltzing away from the flustered duo with a smile on his face. "Enjoy your stay~!"

Sabito and Giyuu finally stared into each other's eyes, then songs of laughter broke the sheepish silence between them.

Akumu and Yami, the two oldest among the 6 Shimamoto siblings, watched the duo chat and enjoy their stay for the time being.

"Looks like they love it here." Akumu smirked and turned to her sister 2 years younger than her.

"And each other." Yami added, laughing as the two disappeared in the kitchen to help the other siblings who're busy.

The sun is setting and left hues in a rainbow-like colour by the time they noticed how long they've stayed, due to them being so used to the soothing atmosphere and aroma makes you feel like you're drunk.

"We'll be going now, Tokito." Sabito told the other male, who nodded with a small smile playing his lips, a cloth in hand to clean up the minimal mess in the cafe.

"Come back whenever you want!" Tokito chirped as the duo disappeared from his sight.

Sabito and Giyuu slowly walked side by side, since the peach-haired male insisted on accompanying the other home, but the raven-haired male is in no position to deny since he knew, deep inside, he wants to spend at least a little more time with him.

Giyuu's arms unconsciously drew over one another, hands clutched to the elbows to fight off the chilly breeze. He completely underestimated how cold it will be at this point in the afternoon.

Sabito noticed the other male's body shivering, so he removed his thick jacket and draped it over his shoulders, unaware of the big, bold letters of his last name resting between Giyuu's shoulder blades.

Giyuu drew the jacket closer to his frame with a smile directed towards him, thankful for the article of clothing protecting him from the breeze.

The two soon stood before Giyuu's house, the raven-haired male facing the other as he prepared to remove the jacket draped over his shoulders but Sabito stopped him.

"You can keep it." Sabito unconsciously told him, waving it off with his hand. "It's looks better on you, anyways."

Giyuu faced away in embarrassment, murmuring a thank you before shuffling in his house the door closing behind him.

In all honesty, Sabito didn't and will never regret his words as he trudged back to his home.
