(He sees Aki reaching over and moves to offer his hand over. Is something wrong? He's almost certain he'll have to hold his hand, give him a reassuring squeeze, and say everything is fine. Instead, he feels Aki's lips against his fingertips and he stares, gold eyes captivated.
Nothing is wrong. Everything is right.
By now, Aki should be used to it. The way the cherry blossoms fall so slowly when Tsurumaru's mood is good, when he's pleasantly surprised and so smitten.)
... It sounds good.
(It really does.
They eat and they drink and they make plans and talk. Tsurumaru smiles and he laughs and he tries to make Aki do the same. He picks food from Aki's dish and shares parts of his plate with him. There are others in the dining hall, eating and conversing behind privacy screens but still loud enough to hear. Tsurumaru doesn't mind, though. He doesn't care about anyone else here.
When their meals are finished, he wraps himself around Aki's arm. He's steady but he leans heavily on him and feels warm. How much of it is from the drinks and how much is from the mood itself is to be determined.)
Let's take a bath.
(Like they agreed to at dinner. Aki had promised to wash his hair and Tsurumaru had teased he would help Aki dry his when they got out. Returning favors, taking care of each other. )
