Fujigaya has a problem deciding if he likes mornings or evenings better. In the evening he and Mitsu can snuggle up together in bed and sometimes make love, but in the morning when he wakes up and Mitsu is clinging to him as if he's the most precious thing while still asleep, Fujigaya finds himself thanking the ongoing pandemic for clearing up their schedules. He feels guilty for thinking that way, people are dying and he loves his job, but the thought is there anyway.
"Morning thinking again?" He hears Mitsu ask him, voice filled with sleep.
"You were clinging to me and I couldn't help but think how much I love when you hold on to me like I'm the most important thing."
"I do that when I sleep?"
"Yeah." Fujigaya nods.
"Glad to know my body agrees with my mind."
"I'm the most important thing to you?"
"Why are you surprised? You're my mate."
"What about Kisumai?"
"Comes second."
"I'm really that important to you? I know you always planned on treasuring your soulmate, but still..."
"It's not because you're my soulmate. When I fell in love with you I figured that I might not get my mark."
"Why would falling for me stop you from getting your mark?"
"I've read that you can't receive it if you're in love with someone else and I couldn't see myself not loving you. That's how hard you made me fall." Fujigaya feels himself blushing hearing the other's words.
"Aren't you adorable." Mitsu teases him.
"Mitsu." Fujigaya starts to complain, only to be silenced by a kiss before being pulled into the older's arms.
"Let's stay like this a bit longer, we don't have any time we have to keep anyway." Mitsu tells him, snuggling even closer and Fujigaya can't find it in him to argue. Not when they're lying like this.
Sou doesn't have to look to know who's hugging him from behind, the body relaxing against his back is more than enough to confirm it.
"Should we really be doing this now?" He can't help but ask.
"Don't worry, Fuma will chase away anyone trying to film us. So just let me enjoy this for a minute."
Sou answers by relaxing in the warm embrace.
True to his words, his soulmate is releasing him from the embrace not long after and Sou lets himself be turned around to face him.
"Thank you." Is all Shori says before leaning in and giving him a gentle kiss, placing a big smile on Sou's face in the process.
"Let's head back." Shori says, offering his hand.
"Have you seen Sato-san and Matsushima-san?" One of the staff members asks Fuma.
"They had to do something real quick. Don't worry, they should be back soon." He answers and while he sees that they aren't satisfied with the answer, he makes sure to show that he won't tell them anything more.
