[ haiga also has his key - in theory. did he bring it? the heat from his cheeks and his ears are making it hard for his brain to remember. is he gonna say no to a chance at crowding hien impatiently into the room once he opens the door? fuck no.
and once they’re in enough to swing it shut and enclose themselves in the comfort of their space - his and hien’s - he brings their hands (his and hien’s - haiga finally understands how his clingy ex feels and sends her a mental apology) to his chest so hien can feel how loud his heart is. he’s not embarrassed. he’s excited. ]
This is not out of the blue. I’m asking - can I?
[ is he patient enough to wait? he should be, but he’s not. maybe this is because he likes hien too much and this is something he should work on - but after he leans down to kiss his boyfriend (!!), sealing their lips together properly this time. ]
[ Hien can certainly feel how much Haiga's heart is beating and he's about to respond to his question, but his answer is cut off by a kiss. Oh.
Well.
Okay.
Hien briefly returns the kiss and parts their lips, but a little on guard since Haiga seems to be very excited. It's not out of self-defense, but a possibility of there being an abrupt second kiss. ]
[ even as he says that - and means it in the way he earnestly means all his apologies - the intense way he stares at hien lacks any hint of regret. it’s really hard to regret kissing the guy you like, after all.
there are elements to this that he’s trying hard not to fixate on (kissing in their room) (kissing) (in their room!!) (whoa that’s kind of intense actually and a little…) (kissing) … too much… ]
[ though his surprised yelp comes out slightly muffled. he’s not gonna stop hien, but he doesn’t know where to put his hands, so they settle loosely somewhere on hien’s forearms. ]
Technically I did wait months before I kissed you the first time. And now it’s because - I like you a lot and I’m just happy being near you. You make me really… really happy…
[ but overall haiga is more driven by his emotions than his roommate it seems. ]
I think a routine would help so I don’t overthink and attack you with kisses.
[ One more duckface smoosh and he lets go of Haiga's cheeks. He really waited this long for this guy. It's still difficult for Hien to see why someone would do that for him, so passionately. ]
[ he doesn’t understand the duckfaces, but he likes it because it’s hien. ]
There’s so many things though. [ like! birthday gifts! ] Not in a bad way or anything. It’s kinda nice to think about this stuff, too. If you’ll like this or that and what you think about x or y… If you’ll eventually like me as much as I like you.
[ his hands slide up to keep hien’s at his cheeks. no duckface but it is nice. ]
Yeah, I know.
[ with a little smile.
and he does, he knows hien will answer. it’s not really about that. but he thinks the gap in understanding is from their different levels of ‘like.’ maybe, hopefully, one day hien will miss him so much and be so happy to see him that he’ll feel the need to kiss him or explode. ]
I'm used to being ignored or looked over, so others treating me differently won't affect me at all. I probably don't even know their names... so why I should I care about what they think?
[ He leans in to give Haiga a quick peck. ]
But I care about what you think, so if you want kisses, you'll get kisses.
[ the quick peck gives him +10 happiness points which wars with his instinct to frown when hien talks about being ignored or looked over. ]
I don’t want you to be ignored or looked over. [ his face doesn’t know what to settle on so he just hugs hien. why would people ignore hien? it doesn’t make sense to him. ] Does it bother you?
[ oh okay we're going back to no email notifs i see how it is dw
Hien is about to reflexively tell him that he's fine, but then he pauses to actually think about it. ]
... I don't feel lonely, because I'm used to anything and everything being by myself. But you know what I think would be nice? Hugging on the bed and sleeping together.
seeing as sleepy hien, freshly awake hien, and napping hien all make him feel a lot of things, what hien’s offering sounds like a dream come true. ]
I… I want that!
[ in fact he wants it so much his ears turn hot and red. ]
But it’s going to be crowded. [ which… is something haiga wants anyway, to be close and closer. even then he doesn’t think the itch to touch hien will fade any time soon. he’ll take all the hugs he can get. ] And - I’m probably not gonna let go.
... Let's see how it turns out first time. Then I'll think about it.
[ Though he thinks nothing will stop Haiga from crawling into Hien's bed anyway.. while Hien sleeps. This is probably the more likely outcome because Hien likes sleeping too much. ]

I’ll practice…
[ asking and some mental training. ]
But you kissed me back.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-07 12:30 pm (UTC)Look... Yuki. You don't have to ask to kiss me, but your control can use some work.
[ boy, your restraint... ]
Me kissing you back has nothing to do with your lack of self-discipline.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-09 06:51 am (UTC)Okay, I don’t have to ask…
[ tbh even if he had sighed haiga’s name, that would have made his heart skip a beat. guy with a big crush, y’know. ]
But how much self-discipline do you want?

Did you like holding my hand?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:14 pm (UTC)It seems to be what Haiga wants, so Hien keeps them there. Thinking about whether holding his hand was nice or not doesn't even take a second. ]
Yeah.
[ But he used to hold his hand regardless anyway. ]
Your hands are warm. It was nice.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:30 pm (UTC)Yours are warm, too. [ warmer than haiga’s, he thinks. ] So this is nice. Steal your hands back at anytime.
Anyway, um, routine… Can we make it a point to always kiss good morning, good night, and goodbye?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-13 01:44 pm (UTC)[ He doesn't take his hands back, because. Well. Haiga's cheeks are warm too. It's nice, since Hien lacks better words to mention. ]
Are you okay with some being public?

… Every night?

[ obviously haiga will be down for it whenever. tonight even. but that’s probably pushing it.
he hasn’t had his fill of hien (as his boyfriend) yet, but they both have things to do so he reluctantly breaks the hug, stepping back. ]
