Send me a ship and a number and I’ll write a kiss..... on a scar
Therewas a long, thin line of bright pink stretching across Kuroo’sback, that he never told Asahi about. Kenma had told him one, whiledrunk, and Asahi wasn’t sure how he felt about having informationKuroo didn’t know he had or possibly even want him to have in thefirst place.
Ithad been a mugger, one that Kuroo had seen attacking a woman while hewas off duty and didn’thave any backup or even any of his equipment. But things like thatnever stopped Kuroo, and he had jumped into the middle of the fight,and earned himself a slash with a knife from the mugger’s friendfor his troubles. That slash haunted Asahi, filled him with theknowledge that even when Kuroo wasn’t out saving lives as one ofthe finest police officers in Tokyo he was still in danger. He wasthe type of person whom danger followed no matter where he went, nomatter how much Asahi worried.
“God,that feels good, babe,” Kuroo said, drawing Asahi out of histhoughts. He shook his head as he leaned over to get more massageoil, pouring the warm fluid into the small of Kuroo’s back andspreading it with his palms across the expanse of skin below him.Kuroo’s muscles were wound tight, as they always were after ashift, and this was just a normal part of their nightly routine.Asahi massaged and adored the planes of Kuroo’s back with every bitof love he could muster, and when he was done, he leaned down topress a kiss to the nape of Kuroo’s neck. Kuroo sighed.
“What’swrong?” Asahi asked. Kuroo didn’t roll over like he usually did,didn’t even turn his head.
“I’mthinking of quitting,” he murmured.
“Tetsurou,you can’t do that,” Asahi said.
“Whynot? It’s not like this job isn’t killing us both,” Kuroo said.Asahi shook his head.
“Butit’s what you love,” he told him. “You adore being a cop,chasing bad guys, saving people. It’s who you are, who you weremeant to be.”
“Butyou worry,” Kuroo said, turning his head at last. Asahi smiled athim and bent down to press his lips to the very center of the long,thin line.
“Iwill always worry about you,” he said. “Whether you’re a cop ora pencil pusher in a cubicle, I will worry. Because that’s mynature, and I can’t deny it. So don’t you go denying yours.”
“Howdid I get so lucky?” Kuroo asked. “Having a beautiful man likeyou by my side?”
“Somepeople have the stars on their sides,” Asahi replied. “You and Iwere fated to be the luckiest men on the planet.”
“C’mere.”Asahi snuggled down beside Kuroo, heedless of the still-damp massageoil coating his skin, and sighed happily. Right here was where hebelonged, and he would move heaven and earth to let Kuroo know that.Kuroo, he got the feeling, felt the same.
