“That’s enough my dear~” I said turning to my boyfriend who was currently streaming with sweat, wiping his forehead and neck with the towel he took over as I may have stared a little too intently at the muscles that had began to developing~

“Rui, is something wrong?”, I immediately snapped out of my dreamy trance as my very startled eyes locked with my boyfriends. “A- ah, yes of course I was just… thinking!” However I was more than sure my startled face gave away it wasn’t just thinking.

However, my dearest star, as much as I love him, is incredibly dense more often than not. It’s to the point I have to spell out my feelings to him since he’s so bad at reading them, but it also means in dreadful situations like this he usually won’t question me. Such a himbo~

“Hmm… Ok! Can we go have a bath then my dearest director~? As a star, I do need my pampering y’know?” He whined as he got up off my handmade machine, ah yes, my pride and joy. A machine I made for my dearest star after he complained about all the machines at the local gym not satisfying his needs, and the ones further out being too expensive to go to… Of course, me, as his caring darling director spent the next month creating some sort of ideal workout machine for my beloved~

He ended up receiving it for his birthday despite the initial complaint being late march, but he was still grateful nonetheless. One of my honest favourite traits of the many my star has, his shocking amount of patient. Truly, you wouldn’t think Tsukasa would be the type of person to be patient, and initially he wasn’t at all. But I suppose you learn a lot about a person by dating them.

“Hehe~ of course my star I’ll go prepare your bath~” I said as I got out off my seat to go over to the rather large bathroom in my house. I could honestly slave away to my stars demands for the rest of my life if it meant he’d give me one of those perfect smiles. Truly an irresistible trait in a man if you ask me.

“Rui, are you coming in too?” He yelled from outside the bathroom, ah, I suppose nowadays we did bathe together more often then I realise… After all being that the machine is a little too heavy and large to transport my star has to come over whenever he’d like to use it. It also made it more convenient for him to bathe and shower here instead of walking the whole way home pouring with sweat.

Not that I could ever complain about such a thing~ Being held against my stars wet, bare, muscular chest as he strokes my head could be a sensation akin to how people describe heaven… Yet, I still don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bathe alone at this rate, not only that but I don’t feel like Tsukasa cleans himself since he’s too busy using his muscular arms to hold me to his chest. Ah, truly what have I created~

“Of course my star I’ll happily join you~”, I dipped my hand in the water to make sure it was of decent temperature, which it was as I then put in a sufficient amount of the bubble bath solution that tsukasa loves probably as much as his sisters cooking. In less then a few seconds of me stirring the bath bubbles began to arise in the warm water,

“It’s ready my dear~!” I called in an almost sing-song like voice, either way my star. In all of his sweat and glory came shortly after, “Wow there’s bubbles!!! You truly know how to make me feel loved after a bath, my dearest director!” The blonde said as he pressed a kiss to my nape, “You’re to kind, it’s so easy to make—you don’t need to make such a big deal out of it…” I replied almost sheepishly at my boyfriends praise, he gave my shoulder a firm but almost crushing squeeze as he kissed my nape again. God, feeling like this for the rest of my life would surely be enough payment for how much time and recourses I put into that machine… “Don’t say that, you don’t have to make me a bubble bath and yet you did and that alone is more than deserving of praise!” My star combatted with his familiar dramatics of tone, honestly his voice alone could soothe me into good dreams for the rest of my life.

“Now, shall we get changed? It would truly be a shame if the bath went cold already!” He said with a familiar bright smile that I would’ve focused on if I wasn’t too busy trying not to stare at the all too defined abs my star has been developing. My face was probably hot red right now but that is not at all a crime—! My stars toned body could make the utterly stoic flush like strawberries it’s hardly my fault—!

“Y- yeah… Let’s do that…” I mumbled as I tried to peel my eyes away from the sight in front of me. Watching the blondes hands start to remove his pants would surely make it obvious I was being a pervert.

And so, I did the, I must say, most noble thing in my short life span. Turning around and facing the wall as I began to remove my clothes. Withdrawing my eyes from a sight clearly only the uttermost holy were meant to gaze upon.

As I took off the last of my clothing I could hear the sound of someone stepping into the bath behind me as I turned around to see Tsukasa had already stepped into the bath. Now just starring at me with a glint in his eye and a tint to his cheeks, anyone other then him I would’ve felt self conscious around however. The look on those sunset eyes and squishy cheeks is far to familiar for me to jump to conclusions,

“Oiii~ hurry up Rui you don’t need to just stare! We do this all the time!” He pouted as I realised I’d once again been starring,

“A- ah yeah I’ll get right in—!” I exclaimed as I stepped in the water, well aware of Tsukasa’s sneaky glances as I settled in the warmth.

Unexpectedly after nearly no time I felt someone press their cheek to my chest as Tsukasa flopped forward, careful not to spill the water as he wrapped arms around my waist. “Mmmm… this bath Is so much nicer with you here…” he mumbled sweetly as he pressed a kiss to my collarbone, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bathe without you..~” he said almost dreamily, I was still overwhelmed by the skin to skin contact of his more built form against mine. My lean lightweight form was probably easy to overpower and handle however Tsukasa cared to, and the thought of him doing exactly that sent nothing but sparks to my everywhere. I trust Tsukasa I don’t think he’d ever hurt me or do me wrong, so the thought of him handling me however he pleases and moving me like nothing but a feather is something that can’t help but make my face red.

“Y- yeah same here…” I said petting his damp hair as he pressed more kisses up my neck, letting content little sighs near my throat as he did so. The sensation giving me nothing but chills, he was being so clingy today and I think I’m growing obsessed with it…

“I’m so mwah happy I get to spend all this mwah time together now..” tsukasa said against my neck, his kisses honestly tickling almost as much as they felt amazing.

I unintentionally started laughing as Tsukasa continued to tickle my neck with his kisses, wrapping his arms around my waist tighter as he was now in between my legs. Which I didn’t mind, Tsukasa’s in a sleepy mood right now which means it’s probably not intended to rile me up.

“S- stop it that tickles Tsukasa—!” I giggled out as he began to blow raspberries against my cheek, puffing his own cheeks for the dramatics of it. “HAH—S- stop that—!!!” I pulled his face off my cheek with both hands, he looked so dumbfounded that he’d been pulled off.

I wiped my cheek, feeling his slobber all over it now, “T- Tsukasa—! We’re supposed to be getting clean not messier—!” I scolded with a fake frown, more like a pout as Tsukasa grinned at my reaction. Knowing I do this same thing to him a lot it was all the more funnier, “But you sound so cute when you laugh like that..~!” He fake cried as he nuzzled back into my into my neck. Wrapping his arms around me tighter as he made more mock sobbing noises, I still wasn’t really used to laughing so unrestrained. And even if he was to dense to realise it, it felt like my heart was melting every time he complimented my laugh.

After a little while his teasing subsided as he slumped in my arms, those peach tips nuzzling my face as he buried his nose further in my neck. It was peaceful in a way only Tsukasa knew I loved, well, that was until his big sleepy yawn interrupted it.

“Oya~ is someone sleepy already?” I giggled poking his cheek as Tsukasa pouted, “Ah how tragic how will you get home now..~” he frowned before sighing, “Fine I’ll text saki I’m not coming home…”

I smiled before pressing my lips to his forehead, “I think my mom considers you a fifth resident at this rate~” Tsukasa’s cheeks went bright red at that, “I don’t sleep here that much..!” He retorted,

“Tsukasa you’ve come over everyday of the week, even if you don’t sleep here daily they still see you daily. You didrealise my mom’s been preparing extra portions of food because of your appetite, right?” I said with a deadpan, but my boyfriend went rigid at the thought of extra food having to be made for his colossal appetite. Apparently the thought didn’t occur to him, truly baffling.

“W—WHAT—!? RUI!! YOU COULD’VE SAID SOMETHING!!” He said as he sat up out of the sheer shock, “T- Tsukasa she really doesn’t mind, I’m sure she’s glad you like her cooking if anything” I responded, instinctively gripping the edge of tub having been thrown off balance.

“She shouldn’t do that anyways! Rui why didn’t you tell me I eat to much I would’ve simply brung my own food!” My boyfriend whined, instead of focusing on the fact my hands are currently slipping of the tub and I’m probably going to hit my head.

Luckily, I managed to prop myself up before that could happen. Being that my boyfriend clearly wasn’t going to help me up, I’m honestly glad. “Should we get out the bath then..?” I said as Tsukasa turned to me, nodding in with cheery front.

I watched in the water as my boyfriend stepped out the bath, observing his toned back and rather nice behind. I felt an array of pink flush my cheeks as I melted back into the warm water while my boyfriend wrapped a towel around his waist as I watched with a smirk, half just masking how embarrassed I was.

“Aren’t you going to get out the water then? Dont tell me you just asked me to get out so you could ogle me!”

“You can’t blame me~ you have lovely back muscles~” I teased in return, a display of pink flushed his face as he cursed me as a pervert and left. I giggled at the gesture as I followed him in getting a towel, he’s really too funny sometimes.

[Later that day after dinner with Rui’s mother]

Yaaaaaaaawn ~

Was the sound my boyfriend made before curling up against me on my bed, I was luckily already in my pyjamas since otherwise I fear he wouldn’t let me escape!

His arms wrapped around my waist as he pressed up against my back, “You still smell nice..” he said pressing his nose to my neck. He does this all the time yet for some reason it still flusters me whenever he smells my neck.

I let out a small hum of contentment as he pressed a few kisses to my neck, “Your mom’s cooking is always so good…” he mumbled as he nuzzled into the crook of my neck. “Hehe I’m sure you’re glad she takes the liberties to make you extra then~” I teased as he peeked up at my face, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “I’ll surely pay her back somehow…” he mumbled as he buried himself back in my neck, “I can’t imagine how you intend on doing that~” I flirted,

Ah, I can’t help but wonder how I expected this dense rock of a guy to actually flirt back, nope, instead he proceeded to spend the next unsaid amount of time brainstorming aloud what he could possibly do to repay my mother—who most likely enjoys cooking extra—back for her superb cooking. Honestly, he could not be worse.

“Hmm, maybe she would like me to dedicate a show to her! No, surely only the brightest people could appreciate such a gesture… Hmm…” He pondered, sigh, and I’m not even getting my compensation kisses…

“Baby can we just worry about this tomorrow? All your talking is making me sleepy..” I said exasperated, it’s true after all! I simply cannot help listening with uttermost attention to my dearest stars constant rants, even when I am tired… It just makes me more tired..!

“H- huh?! Oh, I’m sorry my dear, how long have I been going on for!?” My boyfriend sprung up shocked. I groaned at the loss of his arms around me before grabbing my phone from the nightstand, “mmf… Half an hour and a bit… It’s 10:24 now.. Dinner finished a little after 9:30…” I said sleepily while Tsukasa acted like the concept of him unintentionally talking me to sleep was foreign.

“Oh—babe—I’m so sorry you must be tired—!” He said as he suddenly grabbed my face, smooshing my cheeks between his hands with those huge puppy dog eyes. I smiled at the feeling of his warm palms, “Don’t you know I usually sleep far later then this my dear..?” I said nuzzling his palm like some pathetically affectionate cat,

“That doesn’t change anything! Look how tired you are! You have bags!! This is horrible for your skin—and it’s all my fault—I’m so sorry baby—!” Tsukasa apologised with unnecessary passion. “T- Tsukasa—the bags are from going to bed late, not your talking.. I love your chatter, you know that.. I’m just tired from the bath and conversation with my mom…” I said watching the relief flood his face as he pressed his forehead to mine, “Good! I couldn’t live with the guilt..!” He said as he was more or less sharing my breath from the proximity, it smelled like mint, probably from when we brushed our teeth… Tsukasa has that weird special mint toothpaste,

Tsukasa suddenly pulled back, but then lay me back on the bed with composure shattering care. However, he then got to on top of me, laying right on top of me as he nuzzled my neck like some sort of cuddly, tail wagging dog, wrapping his arms around my waist as he smooshed against me, our legs tangling like no man’s work as I played with his blonde hair. He let out a content little sigh as he leaned into my touches, I reached over to the side and turned my lamp off before going back to petting this overgrown golden retriever.

“Goodnight my dear director…”

“Goodnight my star…”
