Spending most of his morning the kitchen was not what Kazuki had planned to do today. His plans involved a lot more - cleaning, laundry, other chores around the house - but instead he had ended up trying out a couple of new dishes. It was fine, he figured; he needed to make lunch either way, and the leftovers would take care of the need to make dinner later.

The new soup he was trying out was turning out quite nicely, and he was generally happy with the result so far. He hummed to himself as he stirred the pot a some more before reaching to the side for the condiments. Maybe a little more salt, or maybe he should wait till the soup was done before adding it? He lifted up the ladle to study the texture of the soup - right when someone suddenly wrapped their arms around his waist.

Considering there was absolutely nobody else in the house and Kazuki hadn't heard anyone enter, his unfortunate reaction was to yelp in surprise and try to pull away, only to find that he was right by the stove and had nowhere to go. His next somewhat involuntary move to defend himself was to attempt to hit whoever it was with the ladle he was holding - except this led to the thing slipping from his hand. He spun around to face the other person, almost causing both of them stumble over, but somehow he managed to recover in time to keep himself on his feet. The end result was him staring Soushi right in the face, with both of them standing there with their arms awkwardly around each other.

"Sorry. Did I scare you?" Soushi asked, looking a little uncomfortable. Kazuki blinked, noticing the reason a second later. The ladle that had slipped from his hand was currently hanging from Soushi's shoulder, with the contents all over his shirt.

"Never mind that, Soushi! Are you okay? That..." Kazuki moved away, picked up the unfortunate ladle and then he was already trying to remove Soushi's shirt. "The soup is hot! Did you burn yourself? Let me see!" Soushi was helpful enough to allow him to pull the shirt off, and Kazuki studied his boyfriend's shoulder, finding the skin there slightly red. "I'm so sorry, I should've..."

Soushi shook his head. "What are you apologizing for? I'm the one who sneaked in and caused all this." Kazuki was already busying himself by grabbing the closest kitchen towel, rinsing it with cold water then pressing it against Soushi's shoulder. "Really, I'm fine. Stop freaking out," Soushi continued. "It's not that bad. Although," he smiled a little and placed his hand over Kazuki's holding the towel. "I guess this feels pretty nice."

Not entirely enough to convince Kazuki, although his next freak-out move was to remember he was in the middle of cooking, and he scrambled around to check if the soup was still fine. "I, uhhh." He took a deep breath then finally laughed a little. "Not exactly like you planned, I guess? I'll make this up to you. Care for lunch?" He asked while picking up another ladle to stir the soup with. "This'll be ready soon. Or did you eat already?"

"You didn't even ask what I'm doing here," Soushi pointed out. He smiled and rinsed the towel under cold water some more then pressed it against his shoulder again. "But I'll tell you anyway. You weren't over at Rakuen, so I didn't feel like eating there. Therefore the answer to your question is, no, not yet. That looks delicious though, and I'd be glad to have some. On that note, I was told you stayed home today, which is why I came here."

Kazuki nodded and studied his cooking some more. "I took the day off. Wanted to get some things done around here, although then I just ended up grocery shopping and wanting to try out a few dishes instead of doing anything useful." He turned to look at the spices again to reconsider if he wanted to add anything to the soup then glanced over his shoulder. "I must've been really focused on this, or you managed to sneak in really quietly, though, because I didn't notice a thing before... Well," He looked down. "What were trying to do, anyway?"

"Oh, this?" Soushi grinned as he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around Kazuki's waist. "I was thinking of doing this. Or maybe a little bit of this?" He raised his right hand and pushed Kazuki's ponytail out of the way then kissed his neck. Kazuki smiled, feeling slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't exactly complain. He had to keep his attention on the cooking, though, even if Soushi's advances were making him want to do something else.

He picked up the salt and was just about to add some to the soup when Soushi stuck his hand under his apron. "Might be that I was thinking of just a little bit of this too," Soushi murmured, doing his best to get his hand under Kazuki's shirt, and as flustered as he was, at this point Kazuki had to draw the line.

"Absolutely none of that," he sternly cut in. "No funny stuff in the kitchen," he added, finishing his work with the soup then moving backwards a little, forcing Soushi to retreat. He turned around and picked up Soushi's shirt from where he had dropped it earlier. "And if you want lunch, go put a shirt on," he ordered, studying the condition of the shirt. There was a stain on it, but nothing too bad. "I'll wash this one. Just go pick something from my room then go sit down by the table. I'll serve lunch in a bit."

"Hmmh, fine," Soushi complied with a hint of a smirk on his face. He left the kitchen without further complaints at least, and Kazuki sighed. He went to set up the table quickly then dropped off the shirt in the laundry basket. He really did need to do laundry anyway, so adding in another shirt wasn't going to make a difference.

That done, he returned to the kitchen to check on the soup, finding it ready to be served. From the corner of his eye he caught Soushi returning and taking a seat, and he made it to the table himself and set down the food - then took another look at Soushi and stopped to study him for a good while.

The shirt Soushi was wearing he certainly recognized, since it was one of his old T-shirts. A certain dark red one, which had been one of his favorites back in the day, except that had been when he had been around fourteen. It had fit him quite perfectly back then and would've fit Soushi quite fine too, but that was several years ago, and they both had grown. It did still fit Soushi, somewhat, but it seemed a bit tight, and Kazuki couldn't stop staring.

"What?" Soushi asked, staring back at him.

Kazuki caught himself and quickly turned his attention back to the food. "Oh, nothing," he replied, then smiled. "I was just thinking. I mean," he looked at Soushi and nodded his head. "Of all the shirts in my room, you go and pick one that's too small."

"Really? I took the first one that was there," Soushi explained. Kazuki wasn't exactly sure if this was just typical Soushi logic, or if he had taken it on purpose because he had recognized the shirt, but either way, Soushi didn't seem to mind. "Maybe it is a bit too small, but it'll do for now. Shall we eat? I'm starving after walking all the way here from Rakuen."

Rakuen wasn't that far away in Kazuki's opinion, but he was too distracted to make an argument. "Ah, yeah, of course," he replied, taking off his apron and taking a seat by the table as well.

The soup had turned out great, just as he had expected; the few other dishes he had made were good as well, and it wasn't like he really had complaints about his lunch company. They enjoyed their lunch, idly chatting, and Soushi explaining what he had been doing this morning.

"No, not exactly in a hurry to go back," Soushi commented on the matter. "There's nothing stopping me from sitting here all day and watching you do your chores, now is there?"

"Guess so, if you're really interested in watching me clean the house. Although if you were to do that," Kazuki questioned, finishing his soup. "Wouldn't you technically be avoiding your duties?"

"Maybe, but don't you always complain that I work too much anyway? Besides, I can't exactly go back to Alvis looking like this, now can I?" Soushi replied with a meaningful smirk. He ate a bit more of his food then shrugged. "So I guess I have to wait till you're done washing my shirt."

Kazuki chuckled. An obvious excuse it might've been, but a valid one - or perhaps not, since he had a solution available. "Well, if that's the problem," he said. "Let's go check my room again. I'm fairly certain I have something of yours around here."

"Oh?" Soushi tilted his head. "But why would there be my clothes here? I didn't find any."

"Perhaps you left them here," Kazuki pondered. "Or I might've borrowed them after staying in your room? Or worse, you might've given some things to me so I would wash them, because for some reason the laundry service in Alvis wouldn't do? And who knows, maybe I randomly walked out with your shirt on just because I'm weird and felt like having your shirt around?" He said the last option with the cutest smile ever on his face, and Soushi stared at him dubiously. "Either way, I'm sure I have something that would fit you better than... Well. That."

They finished their lunch, and Kazuki took the dishes to the kitchen quick before heading off to his room with Soushi following him. "It was delicious, by the way," Soushi commented. "You didn't give me a chance to properly thank you for the food. You thinking of making this a new item on Rakuen's menu?"

Kazuki shrugged. "I'm just testing for now. Besides, I do like to just cook for myself sometimes," he added with a smile. "Hmm. Let's see..." He shuffled through his clothes, stopping to look at a couple of pieces of clothing then just sighed and started reorganizing the whole shelf. "I'm pretty sure they're here, but as you can see, my whole room is a bit of a mess right now. I was planning on cleaning, but I was also supposed to do laundry but then I decided to cook first. Sorry about this."

"Not like I haven't been to your room before," Soushi said with somehow meaningful tone of voice. "Could definitely use some organizing though, not that a futon lying around like that isn't convenient..." He sat down on Kazuki's futon and took off the shirt he was wearing. "Come here for a bit." Kazuki turned to look at him then studied him for a moment. He wasn't that slow, and a shirtless Soushi getting comfortable on his futon was definitely something he didn't get to watch every day. "What?" Soushi asked. "If the kitchen is off limits, your room should be fine, right?"

"What exactly were you planning on doing, then?" Kazuki asked, but he sat next to Soushi anyway. "I found you something to wear, by the way. This is yours," he offered the plain button-down shirt he had found to Soushi.

Soushi took the shirt but dropped it to the side. "Seeing we're both ignoring our duties, this," he said, raising his hand to Kazuki's hair and pulling him closer for kiss. It felt rather nice, and Kazuki allowed it, closing his eyes for a moment and just letting Soushi do as he pleased.

Until about a half a minute later anyway, as Soushi pressed on, pushing him down onto the futon. While this all felt was rather good - too good, Kazuki's body had already decided for him - but he needed to convince himself this was fine before anything else happened. "Wait," he mumbled against the kiss. "I'm pretty sure I know where this is going, but," he continued as Soushi broke away and gave him a questioning look. "In the middle of the day? We're both supposed to be doing something else and..." He trailed off as Soushi leaned back down for another kiss then continued down, placing kisses over Kazuki's neck. "What if dad comes home?"

"He has no reason to come home right now, and even if he does, he'd just go for making some pottery," Soushi reasoned, not interrupting his kisses. "Other than that, what happens in your room stays in your room, correct?" He glanced up with a bit of a grin on his face before starting to undo Kazuki's shirt. "You said you'd make it up to me for hitting me with the ladle, didn't you?"

Kazuki blinked. "Doesn’t the lunch count for that? And wait, I hit you?"

His shirt got pushed open at that moment and Soushi's head went down, his lips caressing Kazuki's skin already. "Mmm, you did," he muttered. "Not a particularly precise hit and it didn't hurt, especially seeing the hot soup was a tiny bit worse issue. And wasn't the lunch for the ruining my shirt?" Soushi moved up to press another kiss on Kazuki's lips then slipped his hand lower on his body. "For someone coming up with all these excuses though," Soushi added, placing his hand over Kazuki's crotch. "You're rather..."

Taking the fact that he had been getting aroused ever since Soushi had decided to get half-naked on his futon into consideration - no, even before that, Kazuki admitted. He had wanted this ever since watching Soushi sit there across him and eat lunch with a shirt too small for him on. It was too late to pretend anything else, but he wasn't going to let Soushi off the hook so easily. "Who's coming up with excuses?" He retorted, giving Soushi as unimpressed look as he could manage, with his face flushed. "You were just planning on this from the beginning, weren't you?"

What with Soushi very busy undoing Kazuki's pants right then, the answer was rather obvious. "And what would you do if that was the case?" Soushi asked, running his fingers over Kazuki's stomach. "I wanted to see you. What ever else I came up with while watching you look so happy cooking..." He trailed off and grinned as he looked at Kazuki. "It's a good thing you stayed at home today, though. Otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to do this." He proceeded to pull Kazuki's pants and underwear down.

"You just want payback because your plan of getting funny in the kitchen didn't work out," Kazuki commented, not that he was really resisting at this point - on the contrary, he moved helpfully enough for Soushi to finish his attempts at stripping him.

Soushi discarded the garments to the side and gave him an amused look. "Maybe so," he replied. "And I give you the fact that the kitchen might've been slightly inconvenient for... this." He leaned down to kiss Kazuki's stomach then moved lower to capture the tip of Kazuki's hard-on in his mouth.

"That's... ah," Kazuki slapped his hand over his mouth to silence himself. He unconsciously pressed his hips up a little, and Soushi quite happily took more of him into his mouth, making good use of his tongue. Kazuki closed his eyes, concentrating on figuring out how to keep his breathing calm while his boyfriend continued his caresses. As much as he might've pretended to be against doing this, he wanted Soushi, and this was getting way beyond the point where he even would've wanted to stop.

He reached to grab Soushi's hair with his free hand and tugged it a little. Soushi took things slow, teasing him with his tongue and sucking so gently that a moment later Kazuki dug his fingers deeper into Soushi's hair and pulled harder, demanding. This just seemed to amuse his boyfriend, though, and Soushi kept at it for a bit longer.

It did at least seem that he had a plan on how to get things done. Soushi took a quick pause to get the bottle of lubricant from where he knew Kazuki kept it, then returned to what he had been doing, licking on the tip of the erection just to torment Kazuki some more while he added some of the bottle's contents on the fingers of his left hand. With that done, he moved away and sat up. "Turn around," he requested. "Makes this easier."

Kazuki glanced at him then took a deep breath, composing himself enough to do as asked. He rolled to his side then to his stomach, grabbing the edge of the futon for support. He looked at Soushi again as he spread his legs a little to give him better access, and noticed that Soushi had a smirk on his face. Enjoying the sight, perhaps? "Relax your body," Soushi ordered before Kazuki had the chance to comment on the matter, and Kazuki sighed mentally. Preparations were necessary, and while he wouldn't have minded having Soushi right now, it needed to be done. He relaxed the best he could, trying to prepare himself.

Soushi ran his fingers on the inner side of Kazuki's thigh. "Spread your legs a bit more," he instructed, stopping his hand on his boyfriend's behind. Kazuki did as asked, wishing Soushi would get on with it already. "All right, ready?" Soushi waited for another moment before pressing his fingers between Kazuki's buttocks, cautiously spreading the lubricant before pressing one finger into him.

It made Kazuki tense for a second, but he forced himself to calm down and let Soushi continue. There was slight discomfort involved, but Soushi was being careful as he added some more lube then pressed another finger in. Kazuki gripped the futon under his hands and pressed himself against Soushi's touch. Uncomfortable it might've been, but he really wanted more already, and with Soushi pressing his fingers deeper, an involuntary gasp left his lips. He squirmed a little, starting to really enjoy the touch.

"Too much?" Soushi asked, pausing for a moment, much to Kazuki's chagrin. "Don't worry, I'll be done soon."

Soon needed to happen already, in Kazuki's opinion, but he forced himself to be patient for another few seconds. "Just hurry up," he muttered, burying his face in the pillow. "I... Want..." He bit the pillow to silence himself before saying more. He really didn't need Soushi making any amused remarks about how he had been against this and now was way too eager to get on with it.

He felt Soushi continuing for a bit longer before withdrawing his hand, and then there was that tormenting moment as Soushi got his pants out of the way and worked on preparing himself, and Kazuki gritted his teeth. He wasn't about to start begging; he knew Soushi wanted it as much as he did and would only take care of what was needed. "Sorry to make you wait," Soushi whispered, leaning over him. He positioned himself between Kazuki's legs, placing a quick kiss on his shoulder before pressing himself against Kazuki, and into him.

"Argh...!" It hurt a little, not that he cared about pain. Besides, this type of pain he definitely didn't mind; it brought him and Soushi together, and he did his best to relax his lower body again and let himself adjust. Soushi took it slowly, moving just slightly at first, which was too cautious in Kazuki's opinion, and he pressed himself against Soushi's body. "Ghh... Just... already..."

"I know," Soushi whispered, nibbling on Kazuki's earlobe gently. "Let me take care of this." He pulled away a little then pressed against his partner, deeper this time, and Kazuki pressed his face against the pillow to keep himself quiet, as difficult as that was as Soushi moved again, repeating his movements faster now. He experimented for another few seconds until he found a good pace then kept it up.

With his body getting used to the pressure, it was starting to feel great. Kazuki wasn't about to leave all the work to his boyfriend, either, and he moved against Soushi's thrusts, not giving a damn at this point if it made him look impatient. It was the truth, in the end; Soushi's body against him and inside him made him feel complete, and he relished that feeling.

He turned his head slightly as Soushi placed a kiss on his earlobe. Soushi then grinned and pushed Kazuki's hair out of the way to kiss his neck, nibbling again a little and gently sucking on his skin, and Kazuki made a mental note to make sure Soushi didn't leave any marks. A fleeting thought it was, though; a moment later he was more occupied trying to keep himself quiet as Soushi pressed into him again, as deep as his could.

Seeming happy enough with his adventures at leaving a few marks on Kazuki's neck. Soushi stuck his hand around him, his fingers going for his boyfriend's erection. He drew his fingertips over it, then paused what he had been doing and frowned. "This is going to make a mess..." He muttered as he reached to grab the closest piece of cloth next to the futon. He stuck it under Kazuki then returned his hand to where he had intended to caress his partner, wrapping his fingers around the hard sex.

"Ah...!" Kazuki twitched under the touch but pressed himself against Soushi's hand, gripping the edge of the futon harder, needing the support. More stimulation wasn't really what he could take, but those familiar fingers stroking him felt good. At the same time, Soushi returned to his previous pace, his thrusts still controlled and precise as ever, and Kazuki found himself squirming against his partner. "Aa... nnh, Sou...shi..."

"Right here," Soushi murmured next to his ear. "I'm... Right here... Kazu...ki..." He trailed off, seeming to struggle to keep that perfect control. He won that battle for now, and his movements stayed as maddeningly regulated as before. Soushi's body felt so hot against his own, Kazuki noted - or was it his own body that was hot? He wasn't sure, but Soushi pressed into him again, their bodies so close to each other for a second before Soushi shifted away again, only to repeat that movement, and Kazuki moved to meet every thrust.

With Soushi's fingers still working on his hard-on, Kazuki figured he wasn't going to last much longer, but as much as he longed for a release, he loved the feeling of Soushi's body against his own more. Just a little longer, he prayed in his mind. It probably made him a little greedy, to want to have all of Soushi and to keep him for himself, but he was beyond caring.

That perfect control was slipping; Soushi's breathing had gotten heavier and the pace of his thrusts was turning uneven, although Kazuki didn't mind at all. More rapid; even harder was what he wanted at this point, and he didn't even give a damn about the fact that his attempts at keeping quiet had failed completely. It didn't matter, and if anyone got to hear him sound so pathetic, it was Soushi.

"We're... both here," Soushi grunted, his voice strained. He whispered something else, but Kazuki couldn't hear it anymore. Another deep thrust; another moment of Soushi's body against his, and he couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his eyes shut, panting and pressing his trembling body to meet those thrusts, to join his body with Soushi's.

He reached his limit only a few seconds later, and he gasped for air, that heat overwhelming him as he came, and his mind went blank. It felt unimaginably good, he just slumped against the futon afterwards, too out of it. Soushi was still there; Soushi's warmth was still there and he smiled as he felt Soushi moving against him, pressing into him a few more times before moving away, and even in his exhausted state, Kazuki was disappointed to find him gone.

It took him a while to get back to his senses, only to learn that Soushi was sitting next to him, finishing cleaning up afterwards. He blinked, suddenly reminded of the fact that he actually had things to do; they both did. "Enough procrastinating yet?" He asked with a hint of a smile. "You're definitely ignoring your duties, now."

"I'm not," Soushi protested. "But I'm just going to have to stay here for a little longer, I guess. It's not like I can get back to Alvis looking like this. Take responsibility, will you?"

"What, again?" Kazuki asked, rolling to his side and giving Soushi a questioning look. "What did I do now?"

Soushi smirked. "This," he replied, picking up the button-down shirt Kazuki had given him earlier and holding it up. "This is what I stuck under you when not wanting you to make a mess of your futon." Kazuki felt his face turning red as he realized what exactly had happened to the shirt. "That's two of my shirts you'll have to wash now."

"I didn't put it there," Kazuki pointed out. "You're the one who's fault it is that it's ruined. Besides, now I'm all sore and exhausted and this definitely is your fault. At this rate, I'm just going to make you do the chores for me. How about you go do that laundry?"

The not so very impressed look on Soushi's face was worth seeing, at least, although at that point Kazuki just laughed and dragged his boyfriend down to the futon. Making Soushi do laundry would've probably been a bad idea, but the idea was still amusing. "Or I could just use you as a pillow," he added with a yawn. "If we're ignoring duties, might just as well nap a little."

That one, Soushi did not object.

Author's notes:

Out of all the Fafner fics I've written so far, there wasn't one with Soushi putting it in Kazuki. SO LET'S GET THAT DONE. Anyway this was a b-day gift for Mayuiki (10/17)! Happy b-day!
