"can we cuddle?" | sae itoshi
the itoshi brothers aren't known to be the most compassionate, loving people. this is already a well-known fact to anyone who has seen those two brothers. even though you are the significant other of one of the itoshi brothers, sae itoshi, he doesn't act that much differently with you compared to other people. but you completely accepted that there were probably some hidden undertones sae having experienced something traumatic. deciding to wait patiently for sae to be affectionate towards you. but because of this, you were usually the one to initiate skinship and affection in the relationship.
this week, you were particularly busy, whether it was social or work-wise. because of this, you haven't been able to see your lover for quite a while, just the occasional how are you doing? texts throughout the day.
you were studying at your desk today as usual, but you were so focused on the books in front of you, that you didn't hear your door unlock and close quietly. you only finally realized you weren’t alone when two arms slither around your waist, a chin resting on your shoulder. sae’s cologne scent immediately fills your nostrils.
just from the scent itself, you could tell it was the blush-haired man you love, but it was extremely out of sae’s nature to randomly start being affectionate towards you. his warm breathing tickles your neck, causing you to chuckle.
"can we, uh..." sae starts hesitantly, bunching his lips to the side, looking away from you.
with this, your eyes widen slightly in shock at this revelation. which sae noticed. "what happened?"
sae shook his head and muttered, "nothing."
"let me finish up these notes first, then." you turned your head to show your smile. your charming smile made sae blush and look away, acting disinterested hoping you couldn't hear his heart pounding fast.
after jotting a few notes down along with a few grumbles from your blushed-haired koala-like boyfriend, you eagerly put down your pen, finally done with studying. when you stood up, sae decided to cling to you still. your back touched sae chest, essentially giving him a piggyback ride.
"sae.." you sighed out at his weight, continuing to walk towards your bed. dropping both you and him when you stood next to your bed. sae pulls up the blanket on your bed, covering both of your bodies. sae grabbed a remote controller and turned on the television. a comfortable silence envelops your room besides the faint talking coming from the tv.
after a few minutes, sae decides to break the silence. "sorry that i’m acting so differently. when you were away, i realized how much i missed your love. and i missed you in general."
you turned your body to face your boyfriend and said, "you don't need to apologize sae. i’m pretty glad that you showed you missed me." you kissed his lips tenderly.
when you pull away, sae tucks his index finger underneath your chin, forcing you to stare into his glistening teal-blue eyes. you could see the love and adoration in his eyes. "te amo, mi corazón."
