    Summary

    “Don’t be such a grouch,” Ainosuke admonished as they walked through the farmer’s market, clearly out of place. Though Kaoru had to begrudgingly admit they would have stood out regardless of their clothing; Ainosuke had a habit of attracting attention wherever he went.

    And at least the people gave pleasant little smiles and nods as they walked by rather than the slight sneers and side-eyed glances they might receive elsewhere. Though these people were trying to make a sale, so Kaoru wasn’t totally naive to their ulterior motives.

    “Besides, what do you have against organically grown produce?” Ainosuke asked. “Or, you know, artisan breads or goat milk soap or…well, that guy over there is selling authentic country-style beefcake, by the look of it.”

     

    Ainosuke drags Kaoru to some one-horse town in the middle of nowhere for some R&R. Kaoru planned on sleeping, a lot of boredom, and maybe getting caught up on work behind Ainosuke’s back.

    He did not plan on a hot farm boy with bulging muscles, a lopsided grin, and mouthwatering, farm-fresh…eggplant.

    Kaoru Week Day 1. Love Language, Praise Kink, Soulmate au

    It started with an overconfident client.
    And it was probably Kaoru’s fault… Definitely his fault. Because he had one rule. A rule that he had broken once before and was never going to break again.

    Summary

    Kaoru’s breath hitches, feeling Kojiro’s hand brush a stray lock of hair from his shoulder, before settling lower on his waist.

    “You ready. . . ?” He asks, gravelly voice hardly above a whisper.

    “. . . Yes. . .” Kaoru whispers back.

    Summary

    “Go back to class, ‘kay?” He leans forward, kisses her forehead. “You’re good, Kirara. It's all good—”

    “Only if I’m with you," Kirara says. Her forehead burns where his mouth was. She wants him to kiss her again. She wants him to kiss her mouth, see if they fit together like puzzle pieces, if their lips lock as gently as their hands do. “I’m good if I’m with you.”

    “Kirara,” he frowns, his hands clench on her waist, “you need to–”

    “No," she cuts him off. She settles herself firmly on her feet, keeps her eyes on his face. “Don’t you fucking dare tell me what I need to do, Kin. Not you.”

    He looks at her.

    She doesn’t lower her gaze. He has been part of teaching her to be brave, yes, but she has taught herself. She relied on herself before she met Kinji and she knows what her gut says. She knows where she needs to be. Where she wants to be. She stands firmly on her own two feet. She looks at him, meets his gaze head on.

    “I’m going with you," she says, no room for argument.
