Toshiya wandered out of his room, stretching his arms high above his head, humming a jaunty tune under his breath. He had originally planned to go out today, but heavy black storm clouds and thick curtains of rain found him padding around the apartment in pajama pants and plush slippers. After spending all of the previous day partying with friends, he welcomed the quiet peace of his home anyway. He could sense that Kaoru wasn’t home at the moment, so he resigned himself to a day of watching old movies in solitude. Maybe with a cup of hot chocolate? The thought was enticing, and he set a kettle on the stove to boil before moving out to the living area.
Long legs stopped short of the entryway to the living room, almond eyes surprised when they caught sight of a compact body, stretched up in front of one of the large windows. He’d just about forgotten about Kaoru’s little guest in the time he’d been out of the house. Kyo hadn’t noticed him yet, fully engrossed in cleaning the window with a soft towel and a bottle of cleaner, and Toshiya took the opportunity to look him over in daylight.
Under a pair of baggy sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt – both of which Toshiya recognized as Kaoru’s – he had a lovely, lean musculature. Blonde hair was left unstyled to fall soft and feathery around his face, held out of his eyes with a pair of subtle pins just above the damaged left ear. A nasty purple-black bruise spread across the appendage and the cheek in front of it, marring the otherwise clear complexion that seemed to not see much sun. As he stretched an arm adorned with simple bracelets overhead to clean a spot higher on the glass, his shirt hitched up, and dark eyes admired the tantalizing peek of a narrow waist, around which a tiger tattoo curled.
A low voice called out suddenly, startling Toshiya. He hadn’t seen anyone else in the room and worried for a split second that he’d been caught spying.
“Can you hear me okay?”
“Yeah, Shin,” Kyo responded, smiling a little to himself.
Toshiya’s eyes caught on the cell phone resting on the windowsill near the blonde.
“I hate speakerphone. You’re cleaning, aren’t you?”
“Windows. Am I that predictable?”
“You’re always cleaning something when you call me. You’re supposed to be resting, you know.”
“I’ve been sleeping for the past two days! I slept all the day I got here, and then all that night, and all yesterday, and all that night. The drugs the doctor gave me make me sleep all the damn time, so I can only stay up for a couple hours at a time; trust me, I’ve been resting plenty. I’m trying to stay awake.”
“Really? I would think that an excuse to sleep for days at a time would be a dream-come-true for you. What’s wrong?”
Kyo’s shoulders tensed visibly, his head dropping for just a moment before he resumed his task. “I’m… not used to sleeping alone, I guess.”
“…You miss Hakuei?”
“Aa… I don’t really want to call him until I’ve found a new job, but he hasn’t called or texted me at all. I guess I was hoping he would forgive me once he’d sobered up, but… I’m starting to think he isn’t going to.”
“He might need more time, but I don’t know… it seems like he should be the one asking you for forgiveness. You could have died falling down those stairs, Kyo, you heard the doctor. And he just left you there! Over something silly like losing your job? It’s ridiculous.”
“Well… it wasn’t just that…”
“What was it, then?”
“I had been hanging out with Kaoru all week while Haku was at work. He… he thinks I was cheating on him.”
“…Are you serious?”
Kyo made a face at his phone. “Why would I joke about that?”
“Sorry, Kyo, it’s just… well, it’s so stupid. How could he ever think you would be unfaithful? You’re the most loyal person I know, I can’t imagine you ever cheating on someone.”
“I was lying to him, kind of. Pretending to still go to work every day, and going out with friends instead…”
“But… were you cheating on him?”
“No! Of course not! But, he’s so sure that I was, he… he told me he didn’t want to see me again… he was so angry…”
“If you’re so convinced it’s finished, why are you still waiting for him to call? Why not focus on getting better and moving on?”
“I don’t even know for sure if we’re broken up; he was drunk, and it’s only been two days. I feel like I’ve ruined everything I’ve built for myself since I moved to Tokyo, and I guess… I guess I just don’t want to let go of my life with him.”
“Kyo, is someone who kicks you out of your home with no clothes, money, or job over something you didn’t even do really worth holding on to? You’re half deaf in one ear and you’re lucky you didn’t break your neck, and he hasn’t even called to check on you? Maybe this is for the best.”
“I know you and Die have never liked him much, but… I love him, Shin…”
A sigh. “I know you do, and it’s not that we dislike him, really. I just wonder if your devotion is returned. How has it been at Kaoru’s place? Are you doing okay?”
Kyo relaxed a little at the change of topic. “Yeah, I’m alright. Still no job, though. I can’t help pay rent and I’m afraid to see how much that hospital bill is going to be… I feel like such a burden on him.”
“Is that why you’re cleaning his windows?”
Reluctance. “…Yeah.”
“You fell, what, Saturday night? And it's only Tuesday now… you’re nowhere near recovered yet. You really should be resting.”
“I’m fine, Shinya. It’s not like cleaning is going to aggravate an ear injury.”
“Is Kaoru there with you now?”
“No, he’s at work."
“Oh, so he does have a job. I was beginning to wonder, with how much time he has to spare during the week.”
Kyo chuckled a bit. He’d wondered the same for a while. “He’s a journalist for some kind of sports magazine… I forget the name. He’s only gone a couple hours a day, though; either he works really fast or he does some of it from home.”
“Does he know you’re doing housework while he’s gone?”
“No. The past couple days are kind of hazy, but when I was awake I tried cooking for him a couple of times. He doesn’t ever seem to be hungry, though, it’s like he’s just eating to be polite, and he told me I shouldn’t bother myself on his behalf. I don’t know what else I can do for him.”
“He’s your friend, Kyo; I don’t think he expects anything in return.”
“I know, I just… if I take advantage of him, if I’m too much of a burden, what if he gets tired of me? I have nowhere else to go except back to Kyoto, and I know my mom can’t afford to support me.”
“First of all, you know I would never leave you homeless; you always have a place here if you need one. But I don’t think it would ever come to that. You should have seen Kaoru when he heard you were hurt, he looked terrified. And when we found you on the stairs and Hakuei wouldn’t answer the door, he was so upset he punched a hole through the drywall in the hallway.”
“Seriously? Shit… He… he’s really intense sometimes, isn’t he?”
“Intense? I don’t know, I’ve only spoken to him a few times, but he’s always very polite. Hmm… Die seems to have a lot of fun hanging out with him, and he’s usually a decent judge of character, so that’s something. He does seem very smitten on you, though.”
“You think so?”
“You don’t?”
“I… I guess.”
“Well, what if he is?”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you interested in him?”
“I’m with Hakuei, Shinya!”
“Are you really?”
“…”
“I’m sorry Kyo; I have to get ready for work. Are you going to be alright? Is there anything you need?”
“No, I’m… I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
“No promises, but I’ll try. Look, just think about what I said, alright? Maybe you and Hakuei just weren’t meant for one another. This might be a sign that it’s time to move on.”
“A-Aa… bye, Shinya.”
Kyo hit a button on his phone and stared at the screen for a moment, sinking slowly into the couch. Toshiya couldn’t see his face, but the bowed head and shaking shoulders told him all he needed to know. His heart went out to the man and he changed his plans for the day. After swinging through his room and picking up his sketchpad, he returned to the kitchen to prepare two mugs of hot chocolate. When he pressed one of them into Kyo’s shaking hands, the blonde fought valiantly to hide bloodshot eyes, and Toshiya pretended not to notice.
“Oh, h-hey, Toshiya,” Kyo mumbled, wiping his face quickly.
“Hey! Shitty weather outside today, huh?” Toshiya asked congenially.
“Yeah…”
Toshiya clutched his sketchpad to his chest and made his best pleading eyes over the top edge of it. “I know you’re probably tired, but can I ask you a favor?”
The blonde welcomed the distraction, as well as the chance to do something for one of the men whose home he was invading. “Of course.”
“Well, I have a deadline coming up, and I’m a little short on designs. I wonder if you can help me brainstorm some new ones?”
“…Designs?”
“Yeah! Oh, didn’t Kaoru tell you? I design clothes.”
Kyo’s eyes went wide as the pad was flipped open. The pages were huge and cluttered with pencil drawings of faceless figures wearing carefully etched garments and countless notes on fabric types and embellishments. He was stunned, not only by Toshiya’s apparent skill at drawing, but at the beautiful designs the man had come up with.
“Toshiya, these are amazing! I… I don’t know how I could possibly help you at all…” Kyo protested, looking up at the taller man regretfully.
Toshiya flashed a brilliant smile. “They’re okay. I think it’ll be a pretty good line once I get the details down, you know? But I definitely need some accessories.”
“Accessories?” Kyo wondered, cocking his head at the drawings. “You mean, like… ties?”
