unanticipatedly──the intention wasn't to cause the male to cry. ⠀"  you're..  crying?  " ⠀blinked inho.  the onyx orbs widens,  an other hand supports and soothes over the flushed cheek..  thumb swiping off the warm tears that dare falter. ⠀"  kaoru.  you don't have to prove anything to me  ..  you're enough as you are.  "

            kaoru didn't notice himself getting misty-eyed at hearing inho's words,  his slight tears dropping against the other's neck as he tightly returned the embrace〝  i promise i'll do everything i can to make you happy.  you deserve so much more that i'm afraid i won't be enough.. ＂

he could definitely feel him smiling,  merely short against his neck. ⠀"  i'd be very lucky.  nothing's more fulfilling but being with you,  kaoru.  this time,  i won't let you go.  " ⠀an arm wraps to his waist,  keeping him still. ⠀"  i will always choose you over anything else.  "

            〝  based off the writing,  it's clear how nervous she was to write this letter.  but she still did it despite the clear flaws.  i think that says a lot already ＂ he couldn't help but admire the student's dedication,  a digit gently running along each word as he read through it〝  genuine words come out naturally when you're feeling it in the moment that any errors made are usually ignored if it means you get your point across in the end.  but if she still wants it to be perfect,  then we'll definitely help her ＂

"  i like how you think.  " ⠀a huff of laughter,  inho then resumed to read the love letter..  yet he cannot help but criticize the poorly written confession. ⠀"  her grammar is all over the place.  and her writing has a lot of errors  ..  this must be a draft.  there's a lot of it scribbled around.  " ⠀and a hum,  he's quick to concur to kaoru’s statement. ⠀"  yeah,  what a lucky person.  people these days don't do letters anymore,,  so doing it traditionally is also very sweet of her.  "

            〝  you'd be begging me to sit on your lap otherwise if i didn't do it myself.  so greedy ＂ his cheek idly rest against the side of inho's head after the other was properly settled down.  there was a peaceful silence shared between the two,  with kaoru occasionally muttering a few of the written words to himself〝  you can tell she cares a lot about them in the words alone ＂

            the editor's legs that remained against inho's side squeezed lightly against his waist to encourage the other to come closer.  the affectionate ministrations of the ravenette made him go so easily weak as he was being spoiled〝  knowing you,  we wouldn't even be able to make it back to your place,  better yet your car,  if we stopped now.  you should take responsibility for your actions.. ＂ he breathlessly said before once more having their lips press together in a gentle and slow kiss

"  it is.  " ⠀a light chortle,  the aversion gave him the opportunity to leave wet kisses further,  each one placed in a methodical step until his lips brushed against his. ⠀"  i suppose..  it's my utmost need for you.  " ⠀a hand boldly drags his shirt upwards,  enough to expose his torso.  satisfied,  his digits found that familiar little bud. ⠀"  do you want me to stop?  "

            kaoru could feel his pulse quicken with every move inho made,  the light bite against his neck only making the editor even more lightheaded than he already was〝  w-was it now?  i almost forgot.. hah... ＂ his gaze remained averted as his face slowly became flushed a soft shade of red〝  then..  mind humoring me about what you'd call this? ＂

            〝  our club can be busy at times,  but not this early.  i'm usually the only one there while the others are out doing whatever.  so you don't have to worry about any naps being disrupted ＂ he lightly added in his last comment out of amusement after remembering the couple of times he noticed inho sleeping during class〝  the choice is ultimately up to you if you want to join me.  i won't force you after all.  just know you'll always be welcome ＂ and with that,  he opened the classroom door before leaving after giving the other a small wave  ( ... ) that was until he decided to instead lean against the wall nearby the classroom's sliding door,  hidden away as he wanted to see if inho would actually follow him or not

"  i don't have the motivation.  that's all.  i..  don't want to force myself.  " ⠀he leaned back to the teacher's table,  blankly staring by the doorway that was ajar.  yet,  upon hearing his classmate’s offer,  he considers it awhile. ⠀"  do you have members there?  "

            〝  what's stopping you from trying to find something to be passionate about now?  i'd say you have a lot of time to think about it if you put in the effort ＂ he commented while briefly walking back to his desk to gather his bag before heading towards inho once again〝  how about this:  would you like to come with me to my clubroom?  you don't have to worry about doing anything and are free to just watch and relax ＂ he offered with a smile,  seeing that his own club activities was going to start in a few minutes

            〝  that's only because rumors lead to gossip,  and i don't like being the center of attention.. ＂

"  ah,  okay..  last time you were just really shy you know.  with the students and rumours being thrown around.  "

            〝  i am a little hungry..  oh alright then.  and why would you think that?  i'm fine with us being seen together ＂

            the editor walked up to stand behind where inho was sitting,  his hands lifting to rest on the other's seemingly tense shoulders before beginning to idly massage them〝  taking breaks is just as important to do too you know?  it'd be bad if you burnt yourself out before you could get anything done ＂ kaoru commented,  trying to suggest that the ravenette should take at least a few minutes to recuperate 

"  because this is my workload..  not yours.  i didn't know becoming a teacher was this tiring.  the teacher guiding me isn't even helping me out⸺this work is passed over to me.  " ⠀pinching his temples,  inho shook his head. ⠀"  i need to stop complaining and actually start doing it.  "

            a content hum could be heard from kaoru once his jaw was grasped,  a kiss being set on his thumb with a dopey smile〝  you should kiss me instead of being upset ＂ he said,  inho's words somewhat registering in his mind at that moment as his other hand made it so the seat was fully reclined back.  another laugh emit from him at their shifting position before he took the chance to sneakily kiss inho's nose〝  you're such a good boyfriend.  hehe,  so caring and handsome.. ＂

did he wake up his senses when he placed him down?  he forgot he could become like this while drunk.. ⠀"  oh?  what do we have here?  " ⠀scoffed inho,  a finger pressed between the latter's brows. ⠀"  and who said we're in good terms?  i'm still upset you didn't tell me you were out.  your sister asked me to come find you⸺  " ⠀he was cut off by the ashen male's position on his lap,  glancing down to the playful motions being done to his eyes..  until his gaze lands sharply to unfocused orbs. ⠀"  i tracked your phone.  " ⠀his hand shifts,  and a rough grasp is placed to his lover's jaw⸺barely containing any strength,  clearly holding back.  but it was firm enough for the other to remain. ⠀"  look at you,  you're a mess..  "

            did he really lose track of time that easily??  is what he was thinking in his very drunken state.  it didn't even feel like it had been that long since he himself had gotten to the party.  but at the same time,  he was down to his fifth drink by the time inho had came to pick him up.  so who's to say (...) wait,  inho came here to pick him up???  the editor's head lolled to the side to face the other who was sitting in the driver's seat,  any look of intoxicated drowsiness that was seen earlier on his face being wiped away in place of the smile that appeared on features〝  aweee,  you're such a good boyfired inho~﹗ ＂ he said with a giggle before climbing over the console of the car between them so he could sit on his lap〝  how did you know i was here you stalker? ＂ he asked while playing with the ravenette's tie,  his words slurring as he spoke

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@literatvres 　)
            a groan came from kaoru at the sudden rough handling of his hair,  the harsh sting of it which caused his focus to be aligned with inho's making him slightly lightheaded,  almost to the point he forgot to response〝  i uh..  was just about to get to doing them sir- ＂ he tried to make his words seem steady,  ultimately failing as he looked off to the side in a guilty and flustered manner〝  you had gotten home earlier than usual and it caught me by surprise you see.. ＂

well that was quicker than he had anticipated.  inho stared down,  content..  his hand reaching down to pet the teacher's⸺well,  the maid's head. ⠀"  before we really start..  if things get a little out of hand,  just say our safeword okay?  it's red.  " ⠀an even curl on his lips,  inho then began the roleplay and did not hold back..  the gentle patting is replaced with a rough handling,  a fistful of ashen locks is held and he yanks it upward for the maid to reciprocate his gaze. ⠀"  you've been disregarding your duties lately.  i see you've skipped some of your tasks..  and we can't have that here,  hm?  " ⠀his grasp squeezed further,  not letting up it seems.

            kaoru's glass of water was finished by the time inho had leaned against the kitchen's doorframe,  his glass being washed before making his way over to the other in favor of reading the now inked slip of paper.  he hummed in understanding once he was done reading before going to the floor to sit on his knees〝  if that's what you'd really want sir,  then i'll do as you wish ＂ came his reply as he stared at the other who now towered in front of him,  patiently waiting to see what would happen next

            kaoru looked at the small cat with a smile before he held out his hand towards it.  the cat cautiously inspected the editor's open hand before eventually rubbing against it,  allowing kaoru to properly pet it〝  you're just the cutest aren't you﹖  and a little ball of energy too ＂ he said with a laugh as he watched the cat now wrestle with his hand,  its paws clinging onto his palm as it playfully bit at his fingers while purring

"  yeah,  it kinda does now that you mention it.  look its got the same pattern as me on their face what a eenie meenie.  " ⠀he grins,  pointing over the cat's face.
