⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ He wants you to stack donuts on it
The morning sunlight was soft through the gauzy curtains of your shared apartment, casting a golden wash over the living room. The floor was still cold beneath your bare feet, and the air carried the faint scent of roasted coffee beans and whatever leftover sugar had clung to the donut box sitting beside you on the coffee table.
You had curled yourself into the corner of the couch, blanket over your legs, your hair tied up messily from sleep, a few strands falling over your eyes. You were scrolling through your phone without purpose, the light from the screen reflecting faintly in your sleepy gaze. Beside you on the coffee table, an open box of donuts sat like a treasure trove of sugar and sin. Your fingers were sticky with glaze.
Across the room, Satoru leaned lazily against the kitchen counter, cradling a warm mug of coffee in both hands like he had no intention of being productive today. His white sleep shirt clung to him in all the right places, rumpled from the night before, and his grey sweatpants slung low on his hips. His hair was still a little wild from sleep, sticking up in places he had not bothered to fix. He looked comfortable. At home. Entirely too attractive for someone who had done absolutely nothing to earn it.
He had been watching you for the last several minutes, not saying a word, just sipping and staring like you were more interesting than his drink. You could feel his gaze before you saw it. You peeked up from your screen and caught him mid-sip, eyes locked on the donut in your hand.
"You want one?" you asked without lifting your head.
Satoru tipped his mug slightly in your direction. "I want that one. The one in your hand. The good one."
"This is the last of the original glaze," you said, licking a bit of sugar from your fingertip. "Too bad you were too slow."
He narrowed his eyes at you, then pushed off the counter and wandered closer. He moved with the loose, effortless energy of someone who knew he could get away with murder if he smiled the right way. And unfortunately for your willpower, he probably could.
"I bet I could steal it if I really tried," he said, standing over you now, peering down like a mischievous cat sizing up its next play.
"But we both know I have faster hands."
"Bold claim from someone with powdered sugar on their chin."
You narrowed your eyes. "Do not deflect. This is sacred. This is my donut."
Satoru did not answer right away. Instead, he plopped down onto the couch next to you with a long, dramatic sigh and draped his body over the cushions like he was melting. His arm slid along the backrest behind your shoulders, his knee brushed yours, and his head tilted slightly to the side as he watched you chew your final bite.
You just wiped your fingers on a napkin when his voice dropped, soft and amused.
"You know," he said, "I was thinking. You ever considered what else you could stack those donuts on?"
You blinked, your chewing slowing down.
You tilted your head at him suspiciously. "You mean like a tower?"
"Exactly," he said with a pleased grin. "A tower."
You leaned forward slightly, resting your elbow on your knee. "You mean like on your abs? I remember that conversation. I was joking."
"No," Satoru said, his grin widening into something far more devilish. "Lower."
And then you choked on your own saliva.
You turned your head away, coughing and sputtering as you laughed, covering your mouth with one hand. Your other reached blindly for the water bottle on the coffee table. Satoru just sat back, arms spread like he had just delivered the punchline of the year.
"You did not just suggest I stack donuts on your dick."
"For science," he said solemnly. "It would be for the advancement of human knowledge."
You looked at him, eyes narrowed. "You are impossible."
"Nine mini donuts, I think," he mused, lifting his hand and pretending to measure the air with exaggerated thought. "Maybe ten. Depends on the brand."
You were laughing again now, fully, helplessly, head tilted back against the couch. "Satoru. I swear to God."
"You could warm it up first. Make it hard and stable. Easier to slide on."
You turned to glare at him, still giggling. "You're insane. And a pervert."
"A pervert in love," he said sweetly, leaning in to kiss your cheek, his voice a low hum against your skin. "Also a very patient test subject, in case you were wondering."
Satoru grinned, pulling back only to snatch your now-empty donut wrapper and examine it like it was a blueprint. His face took on a thoughtful expression.
"You know what else would work?" he said after a moment. "Those tiny mochi donuts. The chewy ones."
"You want me to decorate your crotch like a dessert tray?"
He raised an eyebrow. "I'm the dessert."
You shoved him so hard he nearly fell off the couch, and he went willingly, flopping onto the carpet with a groan. You tossed the napkin at his face.
"Your brain is a crime scene."
"And yet," he called from the floor, "you're still dating me."
You turned your head, looking down at him where he lay sprawled like a starfish, one arm flopped over his eyes.
"Yeah," you said, unable to hide the softness in your voice. "Unfortunately, I really am."
Satoru peeked up from under his arm with a grin that threatened to melt your spine.
"And you're thinking about it now, aren't you?"
You did not answer. But your smile gave you away.
