Work Text:
The rain had started to pour, drenching Shibuya's streets. Goro quickly sprinted to a nearby building, to shield his hardly dry self from the pouring rain. He crouched to open his briefcase. To his not-so surprise, Goro hadn't packed an umbrella. Great, the day truly could get any worse. Not only was today a back breaking day, it also was a very mentally taxing day for Goro Akechi. As usual he had to attend school and cram school—okay, it was his decision so he wouldn't complain. Goro was already planning how he'd spend the rest of his day after he got off from his class, he had planned to see his boyfriend. He hasn't seen his boyfriend for two days now, and Goro was really looking forward to drop by his place. He smiled at the thought of finally being able to see his boyfriend's annoying face once again, but it seems that the world is not allowing him to. Because as soon as Goro got off of school he got a call from his agent, telling him that he got a last minute photoshoot session at eight just right after his cram school ended. Luckily for him the location is not too far away from his cram school, unluckily for him he probably has to cancel his plan to visit his boyfriend. It was informed so suddenly, Goro wanted to curse his agent for that but he couldn't. Due to professional reasons and due to financial reasons.
Goro had crammed himself into textbooks and mock exams as the college entrance exam is approaching. He's aiming for Todai, yet not only he has to grind his brain in order to get into his desired university he also has to gather enough money to pay off his tuition in the future. Goro is an orphan, so he doesn't really have anyone to rely on to provide for himself. He doesn't really have an option but to take up as many jobs as possible.
Although he already has enough money to fund his lifestyle due to being a teen celebrity he still doesn't want to waste any opportunity, Goro is unsure of things to stay the same way as it is. Goro shuts his briefcase, breaking out of his pool of thoughts. He stares at the Family Mart across the street. Surely they sell umbrellas right? He got up reluctantly and sprinted towards the store, shielding his head with his briefcase.
Goro storms into the store if he was barely dry, he sure is drenched now. He quickly went towards the umbrella racks, grabbing a plain black umbrella and headed to the register. As he finishes paying, Goro's reddish eyes glanced towards the pouring rain outside the Family Mart. He thought of the loneliness he'd have to face if he decides to come straight back to his apartment now, his empty and cold apartment. With no one to welcome him home. What a clammy day he had. His eyes darted towards the new umbrella he had bought and towards his lockscreen, which shows that it's currently 10 PM. He still wanted to see his boyfriend, Goro would never admit it to Ren but he misses his face. Yes, they had face timed earlier just before Goro did his photoshoot session but it wasn't enough. Goro wanted to see the real deal.
Two days are not their longest streak of not seeing eachother. But due to being extremely stressed and drained of studying and working, Goro developed an immense need of his boyfriend's presence. Goro never said it bluntly but Ren understood. Which is why Ren have been persistent to see him. He's willing to come to see Goro, but Goro keep refusing him due to their clashing schedule. Goro barely has a little time to himself and his free time is mostly at night, he thinks it's not exactly an ideal time to hang out with his boyfriend.
Goro let out a long sigh, he really wants to see Ren. But won't he disturb him? After all it's almost midnight. Goro need to make his decision quick, before missing the last train to Yongen Jaya. Eh, his decision was made shortly upon realizing who his boyfriend is. He just shrugs, it's Ren that he's thinking about anyway. Ren shouldn't mind, and if he do mind he could go fuck himself. Goro knows that the younger guy is absolutely swooned and would do everything for him, so of course a little visit wouldn't hurt. Why did he even thought of that in the first place anyway? The rain surely got to him. Making him all sappy. Goro presses the button on his umbrella, opening it and hold it straight to cover his already damp head. He wasted no time to sprint towards the station.

As soon as he arrived in Leblanc, Goro immediately took out the small key in his pocket; recently Ren had duplicated the key just for him. It wasn't really Ren's idea though, it was Sojiro's. Leblanc practically had become his second home, usually he'd swing by to see Ren or just to wait for him before they're going somewhere together. And during those times he spent waiting on Ren, Sojiro would accompany him and they'd chat for somewhile. They got along awfully well. Sojiro never treated Goro indifferently despite being a celebrity and all. So when Ren told Sojiro that they're dating, he was ecstatic and was really approving of their relationship. He suggested giving Goro a duplicate key so he could swing by easily during the morning or night if he wants to see Ren.
Goro inserted the key and turning it until he heard a click, indicating the lock had opened. He opened the door and steps inside, rubbing his wet sole on the welcome matt. He closed his umbrella and tucked it into the corner before going upstairs.
As soon as he arrived upstairs his eyes immediately fell on Ren who's currently playing some games on his phone.
"Goro?" Ren looks up from his phone and casts it aside immediately. He extends his arms expecting some hug from his tired looking boyfriend, his steel eyes beaming with warmth.
Goro slumped on Ren's bed ignoring the fact that he's very much still damp due to being under the rain earlier. His head fell onto Ren's chest, he inhales the scent of Ren's body. His gloved hands are wrapped around Ren's waist. The black haired men just smiles and caresses Goro's head tenderly. Kissing the top of it with such care. Goro already could feel his heart warmed up by the little gesture. He nuzzles his head onto Ren's chest.
"Tiring day?" Ren asks, fidgeting with Goro's chestnut locks.
Goro only nods, not wanting to talk yet. Ren chuckles, his hands cupping Goro's face and smushing his cheeks. Goro furrowed his eyebrows, clearly disapproving the action. Ren just grins and starts to pepper his moist face with kisses. He starts his antics with a kiss on both of Goro's cheeks, then he moved to his temple, eyelids, and closing the antic by giving him a soft peck on his lips.
Ren squeezes Goro into a tight hug, locking him with his legs and arms to suffocate him lovingly. "My baby" he calls as he keep landing kisses on Goro's head. Goro let out a shriek as his thin body is being crushed by his own boyfriend.
Goro slaps Ren's back, throwing punches lightly as a protest. As he realizes his attempts were not fruitful he pinches Ren's sides. It always works.
"Aw aw aw! So rude??" Ren winces, releasing Goro from the bone crushing embrace.
"Deserved, for being an asshole" Goro rolls his eyes before changing his position. He positioned himself to be in between Ren's legs with his back leaning on Ren's abdomen. He laid his head on Ren's chest, his face turning to face his boyfriend. "You must've missed me terribly" Goro flashes his shit eating grin.
Ren snickers "Oh should I?" which resulted with a light jab. "How's your day?" Ren continued, his slender fingers brushing hair strands out of Goro's face.
"Eh same as always" Goro just shrugs, as his fingers starts to crept up to Ren's face.
"Why the sudden visit? Does the Detective Prince misses me?" Ren teases as he ruffles Goro's wet locks. "Did you not bring an umbrella?".
"I forgot, so I had to sprint to buy one earlier" Goro replies absent mindedly, he took off Ren's glasses and wear it himself. "It's non prescripted isn't it? Why did you wear it at home then?" Goro looks up, seeing his boyfriend squinting his eyes at him. He knew that Ren wear the glasses outside to make himself less intimidating due to his probation and rumors, but however he barely seen Ren without it.
"Out of habit I guess" Ren shrugs, his hands grabbing his phone. He quickly snapped a picture of Goro and shown it to the man.
"Wow my face really did your glasses justice, I thought it was just ugly. Turns out it only needed the right man to wear it" Goro smirks crossing his arms pridefully.
"Wow okay you're really being a jerk right now" Ren rolls his eyes unamusedly as his hands roams around Akechi's clothed body. "Dude you're soaked, go change your clothes" he comments upon feeling the dampness on Goro's uniform.
"You just want me to wear your shit aren't you?".
"Fair enough" Ren shrugs, his hands fiddling with Goro's blazer. "Okay but ateast please take this off". Goro lift his body from Ren's, his arms fell to his sides letting Ren pull the blazer off of his body. As he heard the small sound of the blazer being tossed to the ground he threw his body onto Ren's again not caring if the man underneath feel any discomfort. "How crude" Ren comments on the action, as his hand begin to untie Goro's tie and unbuttons the collar to let Goro breathe. Oh, how Goro wishes for this to happen everyday.
Goro clings his arms around Ren's shoulder, his traces Ren's jaw with kisses as Ren slid Goro's tie off of his collar. He kisses Ren's nose bridge, causing the glasses he wears to slid off a bit. He chuckles and resumed his activity now moving to the corners of Ren's mouth. As Ren? He savored every minute of it. Relieved that he's not the only one who misses each other. Ren ran his finger to Goro's nape, caressing it tenderly before crashing their lips together. Goro lets his arms hang loose on Ren's shoulder as Ren pushes Goro's head to deepen the kiss. The pair savored every second of it as if there is no tomorrow.
"Ren can you pass me my brush?" A familiar voice crept up Goro's hearing, making him pushes himself away from his boyfriend. While Ren just calmly tosses the brush which sat on the nightstand towards the navy haired man. Ren tries to captures Goro's lips with his again, but his face immediately got shoved away by his boyfriend.
"What the fuck??? Since when you're here?" Goro's furrowed his eyebrows, his face shown a genuine confusion.
"Since you had arrived. Ah, well by seeing your response I suppose my presence didn't occur to you" Yusuke folds his arms.
"Huh?? Well yeah?? Did you really think I knew you're there?" Goro sat up right, swatting Ren's roaming hands away from him.
"Truthfully, yeah. I thought you had seen me yet just simply refused to acknowledge my presence" Yusuke replied bluntly.
"Of course I didn't see you? If I did do you really think I would do all that??" Goro is enraged.
"I thought you paid no mind".
"Do you really think I'm that shameless???" Goro's eyes twitches.
"As shameless as your boyfriend is".
Goro turned his head towards Ren, glaring at him menacingly. "Ren. Do you realize that he's there the entire time???". Ren just nods, his fingers playing with Goro's chestnut locks. Clearly not taking his boyfriend's fit seriously.
"However please do continue, I found your passion for each other rather inspiring. As a matter of fact, I think it broke me out of my art blockage" Yusuke resumed his words as he mixes some paint on his palette.
Goro's face is decorated with a tinge of pink, his eyes widen at Yusuke's words. He quickly shoves Ren off of him and got up. "This is unbelievable, you're really off putting. Whatever, I'm going to change" he sighs and approaches Ren's closet. Grabbing a band t-shirt and knee length basketball shorts before heading downstairs to the bathroom. Yusuke and Ren just stare at each other, shrugging not really understanding Goro's outburst.
Yusuke and Ren have been roomates for one month now, both living in Leblanc's attic. Even though the space isn't quite spacious, it works for them. Ren doesn't really have that much stuff on him, so Yusuke's amount of art supply still fits the room. Besides, the attic is bigger than Yusuke's dorm, so it was an upgrade for the homeless man. As for Ren, he appreciated the companionship. Despite all of Yusuke's oddities and lack of social awareness, Yusuke is one of his day one friends and he truly makes a great companion. The mixture of Yusuke's calm demeanor and obnoxiousness made Ren comfortable in having him as a roommate.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable due to the dampness of his comforter, Ren got up, wore his glasses, and went downstairs, leaving Yusuke alone in the attic. He hears the sound of the water running, Goro is taking a shower. Remembering that his towel hadn't left his chair, meaning that Goro didn't bring one with him to the bathroom. He quickly went back upstairs to fetch him a towel. He knocked on the door a few times loudly, just to be annoying. Goro turned the shower off and opened the door begrudgingly, his head poking out of the bathroom still with a scowl on his face.
"What do you want?" Goro hisses.
"Here" Ren hands Goro a towel, smiling. Goro grabs them and closes the door on him immediately. Ren grins, it's really a typical behavior of his boyfriend.
"Thanks" Goro said before his voice was completely drowned out by the shower.
Ren just smiles pridefully as he's walking towards the fridge. He opens the fridge, taking out a pot which half of it is still filled with curry. He put the pot on top of his stove, he twisted the knob until he heard a click and felt its radiating heat. Then he grabbed a ladle and started to stir the curry using it. As if being called by the aroma of the food Goro came out of the bathroom. He stood behind Ren, being slightly taller than the younger he rests his chin on Ren's shoulder. Not caring if the waterdrops from his hair bothering Ren. Ren smiles and lands a peck on Goro's cheek as Goro's arms wrapped around his waist.
"You haven't eaten, have you?" Ren asks now his right hand is stirring the curry while his left hand patting Goro's head. Goro replied with a hum.
Goro had moved from Ren's shoulder to his nape. Kissing it gently, the ticklish sensation surprises Ren. Goro starts to nibble at Ren's neck, which sends shivers down his spine. Ren extends his hand to plug the rice cooker so the rice would be warm when it's served, completely ignoring Goro's hands that are fondling Ren's abdomen underneath his shirt.
"So you've been working out with Ryuji a lot huh?" Goro comments as his slim fingers traces around Ren's faintly built stomach.
"You wanna come with us?" Ren suggests even though he already knew the answer.
"Why? Don't you like me as how I am already?" Goro grins, he found it entertaining to mess with his boyfriend.
Ren turns the stove off before turning his body to face Goro. He stares at him from the top of his head to his toe. Grinning mischievously. He pulled Goro closer by the waist, flushing their bodies together. Goro stares at Ren's eyes before his gaze fell onto Ren's parted lips. Ren wasted no time to clash his lips against Goro's. Goro clings his arms around Ren's neck as ren's arms wrapped around Goro's waist slowly finding it's way to Goro's bare back. Their kiss was hungrier than they were before, not caring if Ren's thick framed glasses is getting in the way of their action. And honestly Goro is into that, he feel triumph that now with no Yusuke in sight they could resume their---
"Is the food ready?"
Goro swore that he's so close to rip Yusuke's canvases. However he still have enough self restraint to not do that so he decided to kick Ren's leg instead. Once again he have to shove his boyfriend away, if he was embarrassed then? He's enraged now.
"Ah the curry and rice are just finished being heated up, I'll fetch you some" Ren acts as if nothing had happened while his eyes are following Goro who made his way towards a booth.
"You both sounded very excited I see" Yusuke comments nonchalantly, not taking a hint of the frustrated look on Goro's face.
Goro swears that he’d strangle this homeless man in his sleep.
Ren put two plates of curry in front of the two men. "Of course, I missed my boyfriend" Ren admitted, ignoring Goro's glare as he left them to grab some water.
Yusuke smiles before digging into his food. "It's good to hear, we're young after all" he nods approvingly. Ren sat the two cups of water on the table before sitting in front of Goro. Goro legit looked as if he's ready to tear the two men in front of him apart.
"You look good with my shirt" Ren grins proudly, caressing Goro's cheek. Goro stopped eating and stares at him unamusedly.
"It's just a shirt" he's almost had enough with his boyfriend.
-
Goro tried his best to ignore Yusuke's presence, and frankly his position is quite comfortable right now. Seated in the middle of Ren's legs, his body leaning on Ren's, his head fell right onto Ren's chest while Ren's chin was resting on top of his head. Ren uses his right hand to scroll on his phone, scrolling through stupid reels on his Instagram while his left hand resting on Goro's waist. As for Goro, he just lay there and watched whatever shit Ren got on his phone. Ignorance is a bliss, and that is ignoring Yusuke's presence.
"You haven't been eating well, aren't you?" Ren as his hand travels around Goro's abdomen.
"I am eating, just forgot sometimes" Goro looks up, eyes staring into Ren's.
"Then I need to take you out more often" Ren grins, his hand travelling further. Moving up to Goro's sternum.
Goro quickly swatted Ren's hand away, pulling his shirt down to cover himself. "Are you deranged?? Yusuke is literally there, oh my fucking god I'm dating a brute. Where are your manners?".
"As I said before, I don't mind" the man mentioned chimed in.
"See? He doesn't mind" Ren tries to pull Goro closer, resulting in him being shoved away (again).
"Your shamelessness fascinates me Amamiya" Goro massages his temple not believing the ridiculous situation he's facing. While Ren flashes him a look of betrayal not believing they'd come back to last name basis.
"And why don't you go live somewhere else? I'm sure at this point you've gathered enough money" Goro turned his head towards Yusuke who's deep into his painting.
Yusuke gave him a quick glance, "Well that is because I wanted to be near Ren. You see.. Lately my inspiration has been overflowing, and it is all thanks to him" he said while tainting his canvas with strokes of brushes.
Akechi's eye twitched, not only he was enraged but now he's also jealous. He wanted to just choke his boyfriend or suffocate him to death. But too bad that freak of a nature boyfriend of his is into that.
"Amamiya care to explain?" Goro smiles, a terrifying smile which Ren hates, a smile that indicates that Ren would receive a silent treatment for a week.
Ren took Goro's hands and held it close to his chest, almost pleading. "C'mon babe, he barely knows what he's saying. I just listen to him when he's distressed, that's all. He's just wording it weirdly" for once Ren felt the effect of Yusuke's incoherent communication skills.
"You underestimated yourself, you've done plenty" Yusuke turns his head towards the pair, still not understanding they are arguing until Ren shook his head signaling him for help.
"Ahem! Akechi, you do own an apartment correct?" Yusuke asks, trying to change the topic.
"Something like that" Goro replies coldly, clearly still mad.
"Why don't you bring Ren there?"
Goro ruffles his hair frustratedly, "It's not that easy, he's still on probation. And even for one day of staying the night he'd have to ask for permission" now his demeanor finally changed. Ren sighs in relief, finally his roommate doing something right for once.
"Have you tried?" Yusuke asks again, his eyes still not leaving the canvas. While Goro is finally calmed enough to go back to his lying position.
Goro fidgets with the strings of Ren's hoodie letting Ren answer. "Sojiro said that I can't have any sleep over with my partner".
"I see, but this is a sleep over is it not?"
"Yeah, but it's different if it's under his roof I guess".
Ren leans his face closer towards Goro's. Placing a tender kiss on his forehead, Goro smiles as he ran his fingers through Ren's dark locks. He lifts his face to kiss Ren's nose. Goro buries his face into Ren's chest as Ren holds him close, resting his face onto Goro’s head. Both are comforted by each other’s scent, completely sinking into the moment as the warmth of their pressed bodies shields them from the chilly night.
“Ah well that’s understandable. Although if Ren is living with you in the future, I fear I must come with him” Yusuke nods, smiling profoundly as if he didn’t say anything wrong.
Oh, Goro surely will have his head by Monday.
