Rating: I hate writing this but M sorry it's M
Summary: This is what they do in Japan for Christmas I swear to God
The Story:

It's not like he wasn't expecting this or anything. This is what they did for Christmas-- he thinks he remembers having cake with him last year too, at this time. But it wasn't so... loaded. Or was he making that feeling up? Was he reading into something that wasn't there? The only invitation he got was Souji's usual "If you'd like to."

Even after being together for a year now, it's sometimes hard to read Souji. Not mysterious, at least not purposefully. Just quiet. Cool. Held his cards close to his chest.

...He really was blowing this out of proportion, wasn't he.

Still, he got dressed. In that way that looks infuriately effortless but he actually put a lot of time into. Fixed his hair a bit (but more than that, it's hard to do anything with his hair but look like he just woke up). If he was going to get the one on one attention he was expecting, he might as well look good for it. Put in the same amount of work Souji did, hopefully.

"Just play it cool," he says to himself for the fifth time, fixing his bangs again as it seems like he finally comes to Souji's door. Either way, he'll still get to spend some chill time with his boyfriend. He's been upset and on edge ever since Adachi got here, and it only got worse with all that nonsense with the mirrors. If he could just relax for a little while. that would be fine too.

Yousuke knocks on his door.

Souji's ready for Yousuke. He's looking like he normally does, dressed in his normal clothes, but for once his table's cleared off except for a small Christmas cake he made for the two of them to share. There's a small wrapped box under the table, but that he'll hand over a little later.

Opening the door, he smiles a little and takes Yousuke's hand, drawing him into the room.

"I'm glad you're here." And not concussed.

[masukukunai]

"Yeah, um, sorry for the intrusion..."

Gah, why is he suddenly being so formal? He just felt so... Though Souji seemed relaxed, as always, holding his hand like it was nothing. It was comforting. his eyes scan the room and while it's always clean, he does notice the cake, and the small box.

"Shit I'm sorry-- I didn't get you anything. Oh man..."

Yousuke was so stressed out and scatterbrained lately that it didn't even occur to him. He looks down at his feet in embarrassment. So much for being reliable.

[eatsyourscience]

Souji shakes his head, leading Yousuke over to the table and letting go of his hand to settle down on one side.

"It's okay. My birthday's in a couple months."

[masukukunai]

Yousuke just nods, and sighs a little. He'll have to get him something extra awesome to make up for it.

He sits down and looks expectantly at the cake. It's meticulously decorated and must be delicious. Even if the tradition's a little girly, he doesn't care.

"That looks great man. What kind is it?"

[eatsyourscience]

Souji tried to make the cake as "manly" as he could, so while the decorations are meticulous, they're simple: a smooth layer of yellowish whipped cream (banana flavored) with chocolate stars circling the edge.

"It's two layers of white cake with chocolate custard between them."

It took him three tries to get it to come out just right. He picks up a knife and a couple of plates he had set off to the side.

Around the room, the mirrors have been covered with precisely cut layers of newsprint taped over them.

[masukukunai]

After the distraction of cake lets up for a moment, Yousuke looks about the room and notices the mirrors. It just then occurred to him that, uncovered, his other would be able to see everything that goes on in this room. And that, well...

"Thanks," he says, sort of quietly, looking at a mirror through the corner of his eye. If he knew that guy was watching, or even felt paranoid about it, it would ruin things quite a bit.

[eatsyourscience]

Souji glances toward the mirror as well and nods.

"This is just for you and me."

[masukukunai]

"Yeah," he nods.

When given his slice of cake, he puts his fork in it with a slightly indecisive manner and glances up at Souji with his face still looking down.

"Can I... ah..."

He shifts a little in his seat.

[eatsyourscience]

Souji looks up at him, waiting for Yousuke to find the words he wants.

[masukukunai]

Oh, screw it. Like Souji would have any objection anyways.

Yousuke gets up with a deep breath, taking his cake with him, and circles around the table so he can sit close to Souji instead of across from him. Shoulders brushing a little close. Then he starts eating.

[eatsyourscience]

Souji's surprised that Yousuke was so hesitant about that and he smiles, savoring the feeling of closeness as he starts to eat, too.

[masukukunai]

"This is really good," he says around a mouthful of cake, "is that... banana? Anyways, it would have felt really girly if it were a strawberry cake like regular. Though I'm sure it'd still be delicious, coming from you."

[eatsyourscience]

"I tried to make it as manly as a Christmas cake can be."

[masukukunai]

Yousuke chuckles with his mouth full.

"Well, thanks. Going to all that trouble just for my masculinity."

Not that that isn't already somewhat of a lost cause.

[eatsyourscience]

"I told you I'd be the girl."

[masukukunai]

Yousuke chokes a little on his current bite. Oh man, that. That'd been so long ago, he...

"I dunno, man... I mean, I don't want to be the girl either, but you? That seems even more wrong."

Even if you were the one doing all the cooking and cleaning.

"To be honest, the whole thing feels dumb."

[eatsyourscience]

Souji actually laughs a little.

"It is. No one has to be the girl."

[masukukunai]

Don't laugh. Yousuke gives him a slight shove with his shoulder.

"That was a really long time ago, okay? I was stupid."

[eatsyourscience]

Souji's smile is soft and he leans over to kiss Yousuke. He tastes like chocolate and cake.

"Don't worry about it."

[masukukunai]

His grumbling is kept to a minimum when Souji kisses him. It seems like it's been forever since the last time they had an intimate moment to themselves, and he was enjoying it despite Souji being... Souji.

He finishes his cake, and after pushing some crumbs and frosting around his plate for a second, he rests his head on Souji's shoulder.

[eatsyourscience]

If Yousuke minded Souji being Souji, they probably wouldn't be having cake together right now.

Souji puts his fork down, bringing one arm up around Yousuke. He strokes Yousuke's hair a couple of times, then tilts Yousuke's head so he can kiss him again.

[masukukunai]

Truer words were never spoken. All in all, Souji was probably at his best when he was being Souji.

Aww, you're messing up his do man. But that's the last thing on his mind. He's gotten relaxed off of cake and the atmosphere and closes his eyes as Souji turns to kiss him. It's nice. He sighs contentedly.

[eatsyourscience]

When Souji finally pulls back, it's just far enough to speak.

"You know what comes next, right?"

[masukukunai]

Yousuke blushes straight to his ears.

"...Presents?"

[eatsyourscience]

Souji chuckles and leans away to retrieve the present under the table.

"Presents."
