“Hey, Akutsu!”

Akutsu groaned, trying to ignore Sengoku’s chipper voice.

When Akutsu refused to pay him any attention, he poked him in the side, unrelenting until Akutsu finally opened his eyes, glaring daggers.

“ What? ”

“I have something for you.”

Rolling over, Akutsu propped himself up on his elbows. “And it couldn’t wait til later?”

“I got called into work early, so nope.”

“Fine.”

He pushed himself up, finally sitting up. “So?”

“You gotta close your eyes first!”

Akutsu clicked his tongue. He was too tired for this.

He closed his eyes. He felt Sengoku’s hand make him flip his hand over, placing something small and square in it.

“You can open them now.”

He did.

 

In his hand was a small jewelry box. He turned his narrowed eyes up at Sengoku, who was standing right in front of him. “It’s not what you think!” Sengoku quickly said, raising his hands, cheeks flushed. “I know you didn’t wanna do that yet. Come on, just open it.”

Akutsu’s eyes stayed trained on Sengoku for a moment longer before he looked down at the box in his hand. He flipped the lid open with his thumb.

 

Inside was a stud earring. A simple, golden star with four points. He couldn’t help but notice that it seemed to have come in a pair, judging by its position between the two cushions. “Did you already lose the other one or what?”

“Rude,” Sengoku tutted, raising his hand to his earlobe. “It’s right here.”

The light of the bed lamp made the stud in it shine.

 

For a moment, Akutsu just looked at him, before flipping the box shut. The sound of the lid snapping closed made Sengoku pout. “Aw man, you didn’t like it?I thought it was cute.”

Akutsu rolled his eyes as he reached for his earlobe, pulling the small hoop open. “I gotta take out the old one to put it on, don’t I?

 

Sengoku’s eyes sparkled, and he practically leapt on top of him to pepper kisses all across his face. “You’re so cute, Akutsu!”

“Knock it off, I’ll fucking drop’em!”

For as much as he was complaining, he didn’t push Sengoku off. And once he got the earring on, he couldn’t deny that he liked the thought of matching in a way that most people wouldn’t notice.

He would be hard pressed to admit that out loud, however.
