The housekeeper beamed with delight while he smiled. " Okay! ----- Ritsu." He couldn't wait.

          Uncommon though it was for anyone outside his immediate family to use his first name, it felt natural coming from Tetsuya. He’d been using the ex-heir’s first name since they met, now they were closer to equal terms. “Good. Come on, let’s go.” 

          In a surge of bravery, he reached for the blond’s hand before he started walking to entwine their fingers together. He could do that, right? That was something... People who liked each other did. 

          “That succulent you got me is lookin’ good.” He commented as he walked. “There’s room in the pot still, and I’m thinking about getting some smaller ones to go around it. There are so many different kinds, it’s crazy.”

" Waka, we should go on a walk through the gardens. Would you like to?"

          Did the idea appeal to him? Of course. However, something more pressing caught his attention. “I will, but only on one condition.” Though the words sounded stern, the glint in his eye suggested something far less serious. “You’ve gotta call me by my name, alright? First or last, either’s fine, but--y’know, it’s not like you’re just one of the guys. You don’t have to be so formal.”

Chrysanthemum Whites, Primroses, Violet Whites. Lot's of flowers

Send some Flowers!

          A beautiful white bouquet, declaring sentiments of love and loyalty. Receiving flowers rather than giving them felt a giddy sort of unfamiliar, and the blooms chosen--! 

          “I--wow. Tetsuya, this is... Wow.” He floundered for words, but the smile on his face was warm and genuine. “I--I don’t have any with me, but if I did, I’d give you an ambrosia back. That is, if you’re not allergic to ragweed pollen. I know it doesn’t sound great, but the flower’s really pretty!”

" Waka, I bought you something ----" He had his hands behind his back for a moment, the bot he was holding was quite heavy, regardless of that he would then carefully bought what was behind his back forward. Within the small brown pot there was a succulent garden flower. These things looked really neat and he thought the other would like it. " I found this while I was out today. Thought maybe you could take care of it and put it on your room somewhere. That place needs more plants."

          He had a correction about Tetsuya calling him waka ready on the tip of his tongue when the plant was revealed. Succulents were popular among the others in the gardening club recently, and he’d eyed a few at the local nursery more than once. To think that Tetsuya just happened upon one and thought to get it for him!

          “I–yeah, these are really good for indoor plants, they don’t need a lot.” In his surprise, he blurted out gardening facts rather than the gratitude he meant to give. “I mean–! Thank you, Tetsuya, really. This is great. I’ll take good care of it!”

          Not that succulents needed attentive care, but it was a special gift!

Touch my Muse!

💤 - Cuddle up to my muse

          Could Tetsuya hear the way Kasanoda gulped when he came so close? Certainly his heart was loud enough to hear, the redhead felt every thudding beat. Yet Tetsuya looked so comfortable, so at ease, beside him of all people! The rest of the world would shy away or freeze when he so much as looked at them, but Tetsuya leaned in without hesitation. 

          And god, it was so warm. 

          Warmth radiated from Tetsuya’s form, soaking into Kasanoda’s side and shoulder where the two met. It calmed his nervous heart, soothed the tension from his muscles… What did he have to be worried about, anyway? No one was more trustworthy than the one who put this trust in him.

          An arm reached out to wrap around the other’s shoulders, and his head leaned in to rest his cheek in sandy hair. Why hadn’t they done this sooner?
