“i’m actually so bored right now.” you whined at your pink-haired boyfriend while covering your forehead with a hand.
reluctantly, he responded with a chuckle. “is it bad to assume you want a convenience store run at one in the morning?”
“you know me so well, baby.” hands clasped together, you inched closer to him on the soft, brown couch. there had been a movie playing on the large tv in front of you, despicable me, which had been boring you for the past half hour. in your defense it was a movie that you’ve watched a couple times before.
heaving himself from his seat, hiroto let out a load groan before turning to you and sticking out a hand for to grab on. lazily clinging to him, he pulled you along, making your way to wear jackets and shoes. shortly after, you both set out into the freezing night.
the dim street lamp’s light cascaded down onto you whilst strolling along the pavement. the nearest store was only a five minute walk from your apartment so you both admired the view.
“nighttime is my favourite time of day. it’s so calm.” breaking the silence, you breathed out in awe of the serenity that consumed the atmosphere. ruffling his hair, the taller man nodded along at your words. a yawn escaped your mouth as you stretched.
“hmm, this is a nice change from constantly practicing all day.” his words froze you in your steps. “i wish i could see you more, but i really do have a lot on my plate right now. you know, with writing, producing and all that.”
knowing nishi, he usually avoided mentioning his idol activities whilst together with you so it’d incited a feeling of anguish. you mentally noted down one goal to achieve tonight; distracting him.
“just forget about all that. let’s focus on enjoying ourselves right now!” you chirped, tapping the snugly-fit cap on his head which made him click his tongue in faux annoyance. “first one to the store wins!”
the second the words had left your mouth, you started to sprint towards the store, leaving the poor man a fair distance away. after reaching the entrance, you waited a few minutes for him to catch up. ragged breaths wracked his body as he attached his hands to his knees in fatigue.
“come on, that’s no fair!” only receiving a shrug in response, he pulled open the door to let you in before following closely behind. the next few minutes were filled with you throwing anything and everything into your basket; ramen, cheese strings, gyoza, onigiri and an assortment of different drinks.
as you walked towards the counter and got your items scanned, an idea came to mind.
“nishi,” you had snapped the man out of his stupor with your voice as he had visibly straightened up. “could you please see if they have any mango ice cream?” said man’s face etched in confusion before nodding slowly.
fumbling to bring your card out, you hastily scanned it and paid for the food. usually, you and nishi would argue on who would pay what so you decided to speed up the process. a sly act on your part, you knew but you wanted to do something for your boyfriend for once. to take care of him.
adoration swelled in your chest when you whirled around to notice the pink flush in his cheeks as his grip on the ice cream cones tightened.
“come on, thats not very fair!“ hiroto shook his head in conceived disbelief while tutting at your actions. “fine. i’ll pay for these then.”
at that point you knew nothing would be able to change his mind so you just giggled in response.
returning to your apartment quickly, you fumbled with the keys clumsily for a while before nishi placed his hand on yours and turned to unlock the door. you nodded in gratitude before crouching down to pick the bags off the ground; only stopped by a hand on your lower back.
“i’ll take it! don’t worry.” it seemed as if he’d been really the one taking care of you all night. stepping through and into the small apartment, you held the door out and ushered the man in.
the food was prepared within minutes as you settled down on the floor around a table. laughs filled the air as you shared funny stories and told jokes. but the funniest part was definitely when you coaxed nishi into drinking the curry soda that was sneaked into the basket during your convenience store endeavours.
a question broke the silence. “feeling better?” clinging to his side, you leaned your head on his shoulders.
“definitely.” a sudden yawn startled you, causing you to flinch and hit his arm playfully.
“you’re definitely going to bed right now.” clambering back to your feet, you dragged the man along and forced him do the same.
visiting the bathroom first, you both brushed your teeth before washing your face. of course you also followed your skincare routine on your boyfriend, rubbing moisturiser on his face at the end. after reaching the bedroom and tucking yourselves into the warm embrace of your bed, he kissed your forehead before whispering and wrapping his arms around your body.
