[ cup & kiss ] – for the sender’s muse to cup the receiver muses’ face during an incredibly passionate and long overdue kiss.
Because he's a piece of shit, Takayuki's first thought is to say something along the lines of Kaito-san, the doctor literally said not to strain yourself. Pulling him into his hospital bed ought to count as a penalty, especially when the surprise of it all means Takayuki's weight had been pressed into Kaito's body.
But the hands on his face shake a little, and feeling that from someone as confident as Kaito-- one of the bravest people Takayuki's ever had the honour of knowing-- makes it impossible to tease him.
The most Takayuki does to follow the doctor's orders is shift his weight, making it so a hand and one of his knees keep him upright on the mattress. Everything else, though, is entirely selfish.
Takayuki kisses back, shuts his eyes, and breathes in deep despite the reek of antiseptic. Beneath it all is the scent of his best friend, and battle rival, and partner, and soulmate.
And, gods, it feels good to kiss him after wanting to for almost a decade.
A millimetre of separation is the only reason Takayuki speaks up. His lips part around a "wait" because he isn't done, and as his free hand takes one of Kaito's on his cheek, Takayuki helps him loop his arm around his shoulders. Like this, far closer and definitely more intimate, their lips touch again. And because this time he feels more prepared, Takayuki even teases him with a little suck to Kaito's lip.
Just in case he opens up for him.
