there's something so intimate about washing the dishes with sae itoshi after dinner. ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ slightly suggestive towards the end but not explicit! | wc: 0.9k
he's quietly washing the dishes in the sink after your meal, you standing beside him drying off the pots, pans, and plates he hands you after he's cleaned them.
not much is being said between the two of you beyond sae's occasional mumble of a soft "sorry" when he hands you a dish with a bit of water pooled on it, splashing softly onto you. you just return his apology with a small breathy giggle and a "'s'okay," not paying much mind to whatever little splashes of water end up on your top, much more content with the quiet domesticity of your current state.
you're smiling to yourself, drying off a pan, too wrapped up in your own head and your fleeting thoughts about wanting to stay here forever to see the way sae's eyes keep moving to the side to flick up at you. he's got his own tiny smile, just the corners of his lips pulled up, but if you'd get out of your head long enough to glance over at him you'd see the mischievous look brewing in his teal eyes.
you'd become so entranced by your mental fantasy to notice the way his hand casually moved to the running sink, wetting the tips of his fingers, until he gently flicked the droplets of water from his hand and directly towards the side of your face. it was just a soft flick, not like he drenched you or anything, but it was enough to snap you out of your thoughts and bring you back to reality.
"sae!" you turned to face him, eyes wide with what could only be amusement and minor disbelief, mouth slightly ajar, slowly tilting up into a wide smile.
the corners of his own mouth quirked up a bit more, eyes softening as he looked at your smile fondly. your eyes narrowed slightly. "fine, two can play at that game," you reached your hand under the faucet and quickly brought it up to his face, flicking a bit harder than he'd done to you. "oh i see how it is, you wanna one up me?" his face remained calm and relatively unimpressed as usual, but there was an amused and teasing sparkle in his eye that you'd learned to read all too easily.
this time when he reached for the sink, he wetted his whole hand rather than just his fingertips, and angled his wrist to flick directly up at you from the sink without lifting his arm. still nothing ridiculous, but enough to have water dripping from your cheek. you gasped a little at the larger contact, laughing and stepping a bit closer to the man in front of you.
"alright, itoshi. i know you're used to being the best, but you know i'm gonna beat you." your smile was laced with affection as you batted your eyelashes up at him, his soft smile widening ever so slightly. "yeah? try me, princess."
your eyes lit up with challenge, smile growing impossibly larger as you leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his lips. he paused for a split second before kissing you back, surprised at your choice. what are you planning? your head tilted slightly, deepening the kiss, and his still-damp hands came up to your waist, slowly trailing down to rest on the curve of your hips. he parted his lips, softly tracing his tongue along your bottom lip as if to coax your mouth open when you broke the kiss, leaning back just barely to meet his confused eyes with your slightly evil ones, "got you, pretty boy."
his eyebrows slightly furrowed, face moving into a pout (or, as much of a pout as you'd get from sae). you'd used the kiss to distract him from the slip of your hand back to the sink, cupping your palm to gather a small handful of water. his eyes flicked down to where your arm was already moving up, eyes widening a bit in suspense before squeezing shut as you brought your hand above his head and dropped the water, letting it slowly drip through his hair, even going as far as to flatten his bangs back down to his forehead. he huffed out a small laugh and slowly opened his eyes to look down at your laughing face, "fine. you win... this time."
he turned off the sink, setting the final cleaned dish out to dry on its towel, and turned back to you. "we should probably shower since we're both covered in water already anyway. well, one of us more than the other." he squinted at you in mock annoyance, lips fighting back an affectionate laugh.
"ooh, sae, are you inviting me to join you? how scandalous!" you laughed, leaning into your boyfriends still-there hold on your hips, head resting slightly on his shoulder as you looked up at him. "yeah. something like that." he pressed a soft kiss to your forehead, and locked your fingers together as you led him to the bathroom.
little do you know he's gonna take full advantage of the detachable showerhead to spray you the second you step in the shower. he doesn't lose anything that easily.
