Chapter Text
"Why is Mitsuba here?"
"You can call him Sousuke, y'know."
"But why is he here?"
"He's eating dinner with us, I told you yesterday."
"Could someone pass the radish pickles....?"
"I don't want him eating with us."
"Stop being a dick, Teru nii...."
"Don't cuss in front of Tiara."
"Guys...can you please just give me the pickles.."
"She's fine! She's not even paying attention!"
"I AM paying attention! Nii chan said 'dick'!! It means-"
"KOU MINAMOTO-"
"I DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WOULD ACTUALLY SAY IT-"
"PLEASE PASS THE DAMN PICKLES ALREADY!!"
*********
It started out simple, Kou inviting his boyfriend to come eat dinner at his house. Nothing special, they had plenty of dinner dates before. Although Teru and Tiara would be home, they would still have plenty of time to hang out (and cuddle in Kou's bed).
Teru was anything but pleased about the idea, but agreed while they were eating breakfast. He set a few ground rules though: No flirting, no sexual jokes, keep the physical contact to a minimum, don't cuss, and do NOT keep the door of Kou's room closed.
The two always broke the rules however. It was impossible to make Mitsuba shut up for one damn second, and 0.5 of what he said was either making an innuendo or calling Kou a 'molester'.
Mitsuba insisted that Kou make omurice, it was one of his favorite foods that his boyfriend made. It gave him a comfortable feeling while eating it, plus it was delicious. Everything was planned almost perfectly.
What could go wrong?!
**********
"Mmm Kou I'm boredddd..."
Mitsuba hung off Kou's waist, dangling his feet dramatically. "When is dinner gonna be readyyy??" Grumbling, Kou peeled the supernatural off him. Kissing his boyfriend's forehead, he ruffled Mitsuba's hair.
"It'll be done in a bit. You're so impatient."
Crawling back onto Kou's waist, he smirked mischievously. "Sooo are you going to rough me up after dinner? Take me into your room...get your way with me...." He smiled innocently, biting his finger.
Flushing bright red, Kou almost knocked over the pot of rice as he attempted to pull Mitsuba off. "SHUT UP!! TERU NII WILL HEAR YOU!!" Erupting in laughter, Mitsuba clung onto Kou's neck playfully. "Wow... just me saying that was so erotic to you? Pervert...."
Kou breathed nervously. "Shut up or I'll make you. I'm not going to do any of those things..."
Digging his foot into Kou's leg, Mitsuba blew into his ear. "Mhm...riiight..."
"Please Sousuke... we're gonna get in trouble..."
"I'm not doing anything! You're the perv, making everything sooo sexual.~" This was going a liiiitle too far, he should probably stop the teasing, but it was so fun to mess with Kou! "Damn, I didn't realize you would get so turned on. Weirdo."
"SOUSUKE MITSUBA SHUT THE FUCK UP-"
The two jolted as a voice called from the living room. "Kou? What are you two doing in there?" Pushing Mitsuba away sheepishly Kou covered his face. "Nothing!! Dinner will be ready in a bit!"
It was so quiet you could only hear the faint voice of Tiara playing with dolls from another room, and the pot of rice bubbling. Holding his hands up defensively Mitsuba pouted.
"...'M sorry..."
Kou smiled softly, pecking him quickly on the lips. "Just keep quiet for now, okay?" Eyes lighting up, the supernatural nodded. "Kay!
Teru peeked into the kitchen. "No kissing." Cracking an egg into a large bowl, Kou gritted his teeth. "It was just one..." Attempting to crack an egg like Kou, the shell crumbled in Mitsuba's hand, covering him in goo. Teru covered his face in disgust as Kou wiped Mitsuba's hands off.
"Damn it...you got some on your sweater."
The supernatural stuck his tongue out, trying to clean up the mess, although he was just making it worse. "I can just borrow one of your hoodies." He said, skipping off to Kou's room.
Hearing muffled voices from the kitchen, Mitsuba assumed Kou and Teru were arguing about him. Sliding the door of Kou's room open he wandered in.
Although it was simple, the space felt somewhat comfortable. Mitsuba loved to snuggle with Kou in his twin sized bed, almost a little too small for both of them to fit. He knew the room like the back of his hand at this point, from the various manga volumes on Kou's bookshelf to his laptop hidden underneath his bed.
Opening a drawer, Mitsuba pulled out a black hoodie with some lame design. Pulling off his pink sweater and loosely buttoned shirt, he inhaled deeply into the sweatshirt before putting it on.
He loved Kou's scent, although he would never admit it. Only weirdos would say they liked the way their boyfriend smelled. It was a mixture of scents: vanilla and warm spices, some kind of cheap 3-in-one soap, spray on deodorant, and something Mitsuba couldn't quite put his finger on.
It might have been something as disgusting as sweat or another body odor, but it was intoxicating to Mitsuba. He needed more of that smell. It was never enough, he could be happy inhaling this scent for the rest of his life if he could. Taking a final whiff, he tugged the sweatshirt on.
Satisfied, he strolled back to the kitchen. The food would probably be ready in a bit!
A slight pull on his shirt stopped Mitsuba. Looking down, he grinned. "Hey, Tiara chan." The little girl giggled. "Can you play with me today, oniichan?" Ruffling her golden hair, Mitsuba laughed. "Maybe later. Its almost time to eat, how about you help me set the table?"
"Okie dokie!!"
*************
Everything seemed tense and hot, like one wrong comment could break out in bloodshed. Tiara munched happily on her omelet, a bit of ketchup smeared on the side of her mouth.
Clearing his throat, Teru stared unhappily at Kou. "Why is Mitsuba here?" Kou coughed uncomfortably, glancing back and forth between his food and his boyfriend. "You can call him Sousuke, y'know." Poking at his food Teru scowled. "But why is he here?" He gritted between his teeth.
"He's eating dinner with us, I told you yesterday."
Mitsuba glanced at the plate of pickled daikon across the table, strange to have with omurice but whatever. "Could someone pass the radish pickles....?"
Teru clenched his fist underneath the table, it was obvious that this wasn't going to end well. "I don't want him eating with us." Aggressively stabbing his spoon into the omelet, Kou frowned. "Stop being a dick, Teru nii..." Grumbling, Teru glared at his brother. "Don't cuss in front of Tiara."
"Guys...can you please just give me the pickles."
Pointing to the little girl, Kou looked like he was going to explode. "She's fine! She's not even paying attention!" Tiara perked up at that. "I AM paying attention! Nii chan said 'dick'!! It means-".
"KOU MINAMOTO-"
Kou put up his hands defensively, yelling. "I DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WOULD ACTUALLY SAY IT-"
"PLEASE PASS THE DAMN PICKLES ALREADY!!"
What could go wrong?! A lot of things!!
