your favorite part of the aquarium was definitely the moon jellyfish. you admire how the jellies drift carelessly through the ocean, their delicate tentacles glimmering in the soft aquarium light, the chatter of the vivacious crowd around you, and your first love, toji zenin.
you had easily won over his family. it wasn't hard, you just acted like yourself. always polite, eagerly listening to the elder's stories. toji would be annoyed because it seemed that you would only come over to play with his cousins, mai and maki, or make tea for his grandfather.
the water feels like cold glass on your skin. the tank was huge, lots of people crowded around it as people excitedly touched the fish. using two fingers to softly pat the little translucent jellies.
"won't they sting ya?" a gruff voice rumbles in your ear. toji zenin, your boyfriend of three years, told you a week ago he'd never been to an aquarium. like the overly excited partner you are, you bought tickets to the local aquarium and dragged him here.
its just fish, he said. but he's here yelping as one of the tiny invertebrates brush his fingers ever so slightly.
"baby, its just a little jellyfish. why are you so scared?" you tease him, as you two wander around the building.
"...they could sting me." he mumbled, flushed from your teasing. he'd never admit it, but he loves likes it.
you laugh in response, tiptoeing to kiss his cheek. "its okay, i'll protect you from the moon jellies. poor baby toji." you squish his cheeks, overly sticking out your bottom lip.
"oi. stop." he grumbles.
"okay, okayy." you laugh, letting go of his face and holding his hand instead.
the sound of gently bubbling water, the sight of colorful fish and aquatic plants, and the calming effect of underwater lights create a serene atmosphere. toji can't take his eyes off of you, keeping you close at all times as you excitedly point out at the clownfish.
"i caught that fish in animal crossing. and that one. ooh... i've always wanted to get one of those, but they never spawn on my island." you ramble off excitedly.
"you're so cute, darling. could watch ya like this the whole day."
normally, he'd be bored, but it seems so relaxing looking at the shiny scales, or the underwater forests, with the kelp, coral, and anemones.
"are you having fun?" you murmur, holding his hand and leaning onto his shoulder. "i hope you are."
"of course i am." he replies smoothly, pressing a chaste kiss on your forehead. "i'd always have fun with you."
you beam up at him, watching the surgeonfish swim without a care in the world. "i love you."
he chuckles, wrapping you up in a big hug, his arms tight around your waist. "oh, i love you too. so fucking much."
a/n: i hope it's decent i literally don't know how to add more ig😭 next i have a satoru fluff and i have an idea in the making for yuuji! i feel like i'm writing too much fluff and no like angst or smut but we'll see😜
You and Vance were on a date thankfully you were able to pick this time. Since the last time Vance picked a movie date. You thought ‘awww Vance is getting more romantic.’ Oh you were so wrong. Of course he picked a horror movie.
Since you hated horror movies you were getting scared, every-time the murder was on screen… you hated that so called ‘Date night’. But on the bright side! You were with your boyfriend that night. ‘Still a lovely date’ you thought. You picked going on a cute picnic date!
You were laying down the baby pink blanket on the grass. While getting out the food you and Vance packed. Vance was just wandering around the area, you truly loved him. Though you never really understood why he was always so mean to everyone.
I mean everyone needs some kindness in their life! You thought while you were almost done getting everything out. “Hey Vance! Sweetheart, come on and eat.” You said to him with a bright smile. Vance quickly walked to you and sat down right next to you. Smiling just a bit at you. “So how was your day?” He asked you while taking a bite from his sandwich.
“Oh just wonderful!” You said while grinning ear to ear. You were explaining everything from your day until you saw Vance glaring at random people. You sighed still smiling and asked “why do you hate everyone?” You said while smiling sadly.
“Because they're not you.” He said quite quickly all you could do is blush. “Awww Vance can be sweet!” You said while smiling brightly. “Oh shush! I ain’t sweet.” “Yes you are!! Aww”
You said while giggling you could have sworn you heard him chuckling. You sighed “can I kiss you?“ you said looking at the blonde. All he did was nod he was literally lost for words. That’s all you needed.
You went closer to him until you pressed your lips together. You really did love your grumpy boyfriend.
- Chuuya would be the type to give gifts. We all know he's loaddedddddd. So he'd like to use that money on his s/o
- Going shopping with Chuuya would be a hell of an experience
- He's quite stylish so be prepared to look at endless amounts of hats
- But he's not ignorant to what you want to do and would willingly go to different stores
- Even if he doesn't like the store
- Chuuya is honestly such a good partner like he would be fully supportive of your interests
- Though even if you told him to not buy you expensive things he would still end up doing it
- He'd probably try and tone it down tho for your sake
- But hey what can I say Chuuya just loves pampering his s/o
- He might be grouchy about wandering around a mall for hours but he'd definitely have fun
- This man would 100% carry any bags
- Would secretly enjoy visiting all sorts of different stores and seeing all sorts of styles
- Food courts tbh. I don't know what food Chuuya likes but I headcannon him as liking spicy stuff
- Sharing spicy food omg pls <33
- Anyway afterwards going back home and cuddling over some wine (or any other beverage if you don't like alcohol) would be the perfect end to the day
- Chuuya adores wine so having a s/o who doesn't like it would be a challenge at first. I know he's try and convince you otherwise but if you are adamate about it he would relent eventually
- BUTTTT if you did he'd be overjoyed and would share his immense interest in wines with you
- Shopping dates with Chuuya would be chaotic but it would be so fun! Even if you hate shopping, going out with Chuuya would just be so entertaining you couldn't help but have fun.
you on my bed, that smile, your arms wide open. I hesitate. do I fall into your arms? do I fall over you? do I? it’s not even been two minutes since we entered my apartment. but then I think about how it’s been months since we actually spoke of such intimacy, how the desire for it between us is old, brewing, brewed. now all there was left to do was drink it. no more waiting, discussing, guessing was required. you were in my bed with that smile of yours and arms wide open for me. and so I gave in. you never needed to act all cute for me to give in. you only had to open yourself up. and today you did. so did I.
