When the door to the apartment opened, Kokichi was waiting, grinning cheerfully, if just a touch bashful, as Shuichi entered. The lights were off, the only glow coming from a few lit candles and an absurd amount of fairy lights. The lights were hung along the walls, across the ceiling, and even around a few items. They led through the apartment, all the way into the bedroom.

"Happy Valentine's Day," Kokichi announced, walking over to take Shuichi's hand and guide him farther in. Technically it was the night before; after all, they would spend the whole of the actual day together, giving Kokichi no time to surprise him. "Can you believe I did this in just a few hours? And without breaking something?"

Guiding Shuichi to the sofa, he gestured for him to sit before promptly straddling him. "No gifts tonight—except me," he teased, a small, soft kiss pressed to Shuichi's lips. "But this is good enough, right? I made oyakodon too." This was the plan for the night: to eat, cuddle, and just enjoy each others' company. ( Happy Valentine's Day!!!! <3 )

When Shuichi opened the door, he was about to announce his usual greeting of: "Kokichi, I'm ho....!" But trailed off when he saw that not only were all the lights off, but the candles and especially fairy lights making the apartment softly glow, made a soft gasp in surprise leave him. "Ah...!" It definitely was not a sight he expected to be greeted with, especially the day before Valentine's Day; but as he slowly stepped inside and closed the door behind him, glancing at all the different places the lights were strung up or around, he did find it very pretty... "Ohhh.... "

Kokichi's voice grabs his attention, looking towards him with a smile s he lets his boyfriend guide him. "Kokichi! Happy Valentine's Day to you, too. I see you've prepared quite the surprise for me!" He chuckles, even moreso at what he says next. "Oh come now, you're not that clumsy." His tone is teasing of course, before his smile softens. "But wow, really!? That's impressive it only took you a few hours: I can't imagine it had to be easy to make it look so intricate! I love it: the candles and fairy lights give the house such a beautiful glow. And so romantic...."

With a nod, Shuichi does go to sit on the couch, and instantly wraps his arms around Kokichi's waist the moment the other straddled his lap. "O....Oh.... my, I can't believe I'm being spoiled with the best gift of all?" He giggles, cheeks burning deeper as he hums happily into the kiss, returning one right back, followed by several quicker pecks to his lips. "Sweetheart: you are good enough, so this absolutely is, too. It was a lovely surprised to come home to, and knowing that you spent so long to make the apartment look so pretty like this, to surprise me, means the world to me. That's why this is more than good enough. And ahhh, oyakodon! That's great!! I can't wait to enjoy it with you. God I love you so much: you're always so good to me. I know Valentine's Day is tomorrow... but you've already made that day a wonderful one for me, just like tonight. I'm so happy I can spend tonight, and all of tomorrow, with you...."

Love pours into the gaze and smile he gives him, as one hand goes to stroke Kokichi's cheek, before sliding up to his hair and combs through his smooth locks gently. Shuichi was very much looking forward to that plan, too, and just.... enjoying tomorrow with him as well. He couldn't wait: just like tonight, he knows he will enjoy every second of tomorrow with him... and as he brings Kokichi's body even closer against his with a loving squeeze, he gives his earlobe the softest kiss... as he whispers: "I always want to be with you. Forever...."
