At first it was just a simple act of kindness. It was hard on Uri to lower his pride that way, but he knew that Shuuten only meant well. In fact, the raven-haired man was always keen on making sure he was fine. A strange turn of events, to be honest, considering they were both the type to just brush off any kind of bruise or wound. And yet, here they were, with Uri getting treated by Shuuten. Not that he was hurt, more like, it may have backfired at him - his power.
“You should really take better care. You’re finally going to start tomorrow, you know,” said Shuuten as he placed a medicated patch along the shoulder blades. Uri then felt his cheeks warm up when something else was pressed against his bare skin. Of course, he quickly turned around and whacked the raven-haired on the head, to which Shuuten merely laughed at and then pulled him in into an embrace.
“Yours is a power that’s rather rough on you, so you can’t be too easy going. Okay?” And he placed another kiss at the nape this time.
It wasn’t something the redhead would leave alone. He ended up wrestling the other and making him know that he wasn’t a softie. Which somehow ended with them falling off the couch, and he hit his head on the landing. Shuuten gave a hearty laugh while the redhead glared as he rubbed his forehead.
“Come here,” said Shuuten as he opened his arms wide, to which the redhead sighed and showingly hesitated before finding himself sitting on the former’s lap again and a band-aid was being placed just around his eyebrow.
For a moment, they were silent as Uri could feel the flow of his chakra ebbing away. The sudden burst earlier had made him hungry and he had a quick meal. But now, he was feeling the effects of what could be a food coma, so he laid back against Shuuten’s chest, closing his eyes even just a moment. That was a rather fortunate thing for raven-haired man as he tightened his embrace and placed a few more kisses on the latter’s nape, moving to the bare shoulder, rising to the side of the neck and to his ears, making Uri purr slightly.
And just as he was about to suggest a more intimate exercise, the door to the room suddenly opened and something splatted through and on the floor. Shuuten gave a long look at the boy and then at the door and clicked his tongue.
“I should really get that fixed. Hey, he’s awake,” he tried to nudge but there was no response and so he looked and realized that Uri did end up falling asleep like that.
“Ahhh…”
For a moment, he paused, things calculating in his head, before he stood up and then held the sleeping redhead like a bride.
“Say, since you’re awake, go grab some food by the table. There’s still some left. I’ll let him take the bed for now,” said Shuuten as he moved across the room and past the boy, as if it was normal. Inside, he laid his mate to sleep for a moment, pinching his cheeks for good measure to see if he was faking it, but knowing Uri, he could very well sleep through the apocalypse. So he smiled when he saw that the redhead could have a good deep sleep this time.
Back outside, he would try and find the boy and sit on a chair opposite him, probably observing while the boy would eat the remaining stir-fry. Of course, he didn’t seem there was a need to explain why both he and Uri only wore pants, leaving them both topless, almost as if to show-off their rather well-built muscles.
“So, exactly who are you and why were you in a no-entry zone last night?” Said Shuuten as he leaned on the table with a wide grin across his face.
