TsukaSui + O & W
requested by lemon in the tsukasui discord ^_^
O: Only shop open past midnight
W: Warm hands on a chilly day
Ryusui shuddered then rubbed his arms. It wasn’t this cold when he and his boyfriend met up earlier. How the heck had the temperature dropped so drastically in such a short amount of time? Though he supposed they did have the warmth of the sun to bask in at that point in the day. The moon might’ve been bright enough to light their way at this hour, but it didn’t provide the much-needed heat.
Neither of them planned on being out so late but they’d been having a good time and before they knew it hours had passed. Suddenly it had gotten dark and the stores around them had closed. They lost track of time quite often when they were together. Ryusui didn’t usually think that was a bad thing. Tonight, though, he’d probably freeze his butt off before he got back home. Perhaps the most tragic part was that he couldn’t even stop by a store and buy them a pair of matching jackets.
“It got pretty cold,” Tsukasa muttered next to him.
“No kidding.” Ryusui rubbed his hands together then blew on them in an attempt to warm them. It was about the same distance back to either of their places from their current location. If push really came to shove, he’d just have to call home and have them send a car to pick them up. He really wanted to avoid that option if possible. He shut his eyes and sighed, “What I wouldn’t give for a piping hot cup of coffee right now.”
Tsukasa stepped closer to him then put his arm around the blond’s shoulders. “I didn’t bring a jacket so this is the best I can do.”
Ryusui immediately felt heat in his cheeks. Weird as it was, this simple act of affection actually did warm him up a bit. Tsukasa wasn’t generally a touchy person so this kind of thing always caught Ryusui off guard. He did his best to fight back the stupid smile that wanted to spread across his face and said, “It’s great, thanks.”
They walked like that for a few minutes. Ryusui did his best to keep the conversation going. It was difficult when he was slowly freezing to death as well as dying of embarrassment, but he managed. He was both distracted and a bit in awe of the amount of body heat he could feel emanating from Tsukasa. The guy was like a walking furnace and it was incredible.
“Look over there.” Tsukasa motioned to a place at the end of the street with his free hand.
“Ohh, a twenty-four-hour convenience store!” Ryusui couldn’t help but sound excited. It was exactly what they needed. They wouldn’t have to cut their outing short and could take the long way back home after all. He picked up the pace of his stride so it was nearly a jog.
Once in the store they quickly found the coffee machines. Tsukasa opted for a tea instead. It made no difference to Ryusui either way. He bought both then they stepped out of the store and sipped their drinks, letting the warm liquid work its magic and remove the chill from their bodies.
After that they tossed their empty cups into the nearby trashcan. Ryusui took Tsukasa’s hand and smiled from ear to ear. It was still so warm from holding the cup of tea. He refused to let any of that heat escape into the cool air. Tsukasa offered him a soft smile in return, as if he understood the sentiment. Then the pair were on their way once again.
Ryusui was totally re-energized. He swung their connected hands and laughed loudly at his own jokes. Every now and then he’d glance at Tsukasa and find that little smile on his face. It was the one he only ever wore when the two of them were alone. Ryusui’s heart skipped a beat every single time he saw it. That must’ve been noticeable somehow since Tsukasa brought their connected hands to his lips and kissed the back of his knuckles. Ryusui’s cheeks darkened without his permission and he frowned when his tease of a boyfriend chuckled softly.
