Work Text:
Dan Hiroki is an only child, he grew up without having to share with anyone, starting from the clothes he wore to the food he ate, everything he received was for him and him alone. Therefore Dan doesn't understand the concept of sharing in general. Dan have an understanding that if he has too much, giving the excess to someone who needs it more is something that can be done, but that means the recipient is a person who has less and needs the excess he have and cannot get the excess with their own efforts. But of course people around him sometimes act outside of his understanding. This make Dan confused and out of place.
For example, a classmate A-san loves to split his bread and give the pieces of bread to his playmates. Indeed, the bread that A-san shares is often unique flavored or limited edition bread, but A-san's playmates can also get the bread by buying it from the same shop. A-san didn't need to break their bread for them. For Dan, this action was odd and shouldn't have happened in the first place, but it still happen regardless and Dan couldn't understand why.
Dan's understanding begin to waver once again when he started dating you.
“Eh? It's better to share." That declaration were said as natural as breathing, in your hand was a small handful of cotton candy taken from the cotton candy that Dan had just bought for you. Dan refused, the candy is yours, his lover. Dan could have bought a cotton candy for himself but chose not to. But at the same time, the cotton candy lumps you offer look very tempting because you offering it to him.
(sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇ: ᴘɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛ)
"Is it alright?" Dan asked even though his body was already bent towards your smaller self.
"It's okay." He swiftly devoured the lump of cotton candy after your approval. His tongue licking the tip of the finger that feed him accidentally. Dan was about to apologize, but seeing your blushing reaction made Dan immediately addicted.
“I want more.” Dan's hands moved to your hips, holding his lover close.
“Bite it yourself then” You offered, lifting the cotton candy closer to Dan's face.
"Handfed me again, please"
"Haish~, Hiroki is so spoiled~" Even though you were protesting, you ended up still feeding the man. Bit by bit the cotton candy was shared between the two of you. For the first time Dan doesn't feel strange about this, if following the understanding he has known so far, your actions are strange, but he doesn't feel the least bit strange. Like a difficult case, your action confused the head of the first murder division.
You, who didn't hesitate to offer the tissue pack you brought when Dan accidentally spilled his drink on his clothes.
You, who deliberately only orders one snack for the two of you to share.
You, who didn’t reject sharing blankets even though Dan already has an extra blanket for you in his apartment.
You are an oddity in Dan Hiroki’s line of logic. Especially since everything you do doesn’t make him odd, natural even. Is this due to your romantic relationship with him? His parents wasn’t like that.
Perhaps it’s one of the basic characteristic of women? Dan noticed that his female college friends and the female co-workers in the force are very lenient in sharing various things they own, especially food, but they also only do that between their female friends too.
Does that mean you consider him as your female friends? aren’t the two of you lovers?
Or perhaps this kind of behavior is actually normal? Was Dan the one standing in the wrong position all this time?
Dan is shaken by dilemma. But his wild thoughts were interrupted when he saw you come over with a plate of fruits for the two of you.
(sᴏᴜʀᴄᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇ: ᴍʏ ᴍɪʟᴋ ᴛᴏᴏғ ʙʟᴏɢsᴘᴏᴛ ʙʏ ɪɴʜᴀᴇ ʟᴇᴇ)
“My beloved, you really like to make me eat with you huh?” the statement come out without much thought.
“It’s much better to share food together, especially if I am sharing with Hiroki.”
“Does it have to always be me?”
“Yes! It have to be you! I only want to share with my lover, the most handsome chief of the 1st homicide investigation squad, Dan Hiroki.”
That answer stunned Dan for a moment, he had never thought his problem from the perspective you just stated.
I only want to share with my lover.
“Oh… So you don’t like sharing with other people?” Dan try to dig deeper into your point of view.
“If they really need it? Maybe… but my priority will always be the people I love the most first! Especially my Hiroki.”
It was like a light blub suddenly turned on in his head, he finally realized what was tangled in his train of thoughts.
Dan gently embraced you and guide you to climb up to his lap, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead.
“What’s wrong, Hiroki?”
Dan chuckled softly, lowering himself towards you until your nose brushes, a small smile on his lips.
"I don't care whether it's close friends or family, I don't like sharing, but you…. Everything with my name is yours.” Dan pressed his lips to your cheek, his voice whispered softly to your ear. “Because you are my most precious possession.” The man looked up to meet your gaze and see how red your face has become from those simple words, yet he isn’t finished yet. “Completely, forever, no one will be able to take any part of you, Darling” His hand stroked your cheek gently, his gaze was full of love and obsession. “My darling, My beloved…Mine.”
Unable to respond to his teasing, you decided to stuff your lover’s mouth with a fresh apple slices from the plate you been holding on “That’s enough teasing! nighttime are time to sleep and rest not to tease and flirt like that!” You tried to protest very cutely, Dan answered you with an amused laugh after he bite down the apple you put in his mouth.
“I have to disagree, nighttime are perfect time for teasing.. flirting, hugs, kisses…” His lips moved closer to your ear again and whisper “Hearing your sweet voice when we—” His sentence was cut short by you covering his mouth with your tiny hands, your face was as red as the skin of apple you both share.
“I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.”
“Awh, don’t do that~ the bed is cold if my beloved isn’t there.”
“The devil sure are hard at work tempting humans tonight.”
“Darling :(”
