The evening was quiet, the soft glow of the television casting flickering shadows across the living room.
Shinji sat comfortably on the couch, one arm resting on the armrest, the other lazily draped over the back.
His white hair was slightly tousled, and his sharp red eyes remained fixed on the screen.
A relaxed sigh left his lips as he absentmindedly flipped through the channels.
Then, without warning—
"Baby!"
A small blur launched itself at him. Before Shinji could react, Yumi was on his lap, straddling him, delicate arms wrapping around his neck.
His long white hair cascaded over Shinji's shoulders, his blue eyes wide and filled with love.
Shinji smirked, already knowing what was coming.
Yumi tilted his head slightly, his lips parting just enough to press a sweet, lingering kiss against Shinji's.
It was warm, soft—so utterly Yumi. His tiny hands clung to Shinji's broad shoulders, his entire body melting into the embrace.
Shinji let him savor the kiss for a moment before pulling back, eyes glinting mischievously.
"Well, someone's needy today," he teased, his voice smooth as he traced a finger along Yumi's flushed cheek.
Yumi's face turned even redder, but instead of retreating, he pouted. "I just missed you, baby," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
Shinji chuckled, shifting slightly, making Yumi gasp as their bodies pressed even closer. "Missed me? I was right here, watching TV."
"But I wanted to be with you," Yumi insisted, nuzzling against Shinji's neck, his warm breath sending shivers down his spine.
Shinji smirked, his fingers trailing down Yumi's back teasingly. "You just love distracting me, don't you?"
Yumi buried his face into Shinji's shoulder, a muffled whine escaping him. "Stop teasing me, baby…"
Shinji tilted his head, pressing a kiss against Yumi's temple. "Why should I? You're cute when you blush."
Yumi's grip on his neck tightened, but Shinji could feel the way his tiny body trembled slightly, betraying his flustered state.
He loved this—the way Yumi reacted to his teasing, the way he clung to him like he was his whole world.
Shinji leaned in, his lips brushing just over Yumi's ear. "You came running to me just to kiss me, huh?"
Yumi nodded without lifting his head. "Yes… and to be with you."
Shinji chuckled, his hand moving up to tangle in Yumi's silky white hair, tilting his head up so their eyes met. "Then stay right here, baby. I'm not letting you go anywhere."
Yumi smiled—soft, pure, full of love. "I wasn't planning to."
Shinji smirked and pulled him into another kiss, deeper this time, as the television continued playing in the background, completely forgotten.
Yumi let out a small gasp, his body trembling at the touch. "B-Baby…" he murmured, pressing his forehead against Shinji's chest in an attempt to hide his growing blush.
Shinji chuckled, his voice deep and smooth. "What is it, baby?" His hands continued their slow exploration, gliding along Yumi's back before resting at his hips, holding him securely in place. "You're acting all shy again."
Yumi whined softly, shifting in his lap, his small frame tensing at Shinji's teasing touch.
His heart pounded as he felt warm fingers trail along his exposed stomach, slipping just under the hem of his cropped top.
"Hmm… so soft," Shinji murmured, pressing a kiss against Yumi's temple. "You really do look like a doll, you know that?"
Yumi's blush deepened, and he bit his lip. "S-Shut up…"
Shinji smirked. "Oh? Now you're getting bold?" He squeezed Yumi's waist lightly, making him flinch and let out a tiny, breathy moan.
Yumi's eyes widened in embarrassment, and he quickly covered his mouth with both hands, his entire face turning red.
Shinji grinned. "Oh? What was that, baby?" He leaned in, his lips brushing against Yumi's ear. "Did you just moan?"
Yumi shook his head rapidly, still covering his mouth. "N-No! I didn't!"
Shinji laughed, clearly enjoying this. "Liar." He pulled one of Yumi's hands away and kissed his cheek. "You're so sensitive, baby. I barely touched you, and look at you…" His fingers traced along Yumi's lower back, making him shiver. "Completely flustered."
Yumi pouted, turning his face away. "You always tease me too much…"
Shinji tilted his head, pretending to think. "Hmm… do I?" His hands slid up Yumi's sides again, this time pausing just below his chest. His smirk widened as he felt the slight curve beneath his fingers. "Oh?"
Yumi stiffened instantly, his breath catching in his throat.
Shinji's smirk turned into a full grin as he gently cupped the small mounds on Yumi's chest, squeezing ever so lightly. "Well, well… what do we have here?"
Yumi let out a high-pitched whimper, his entire body going rigid. "B-Baby!"
Shinji laughed, clearly amused. "You really gave yourself these, huh?" He teased, rubbing his thumbs lightly over the soft flesh. "Not too big… but not too small either. Just enough to be cute."
Yumi covered his face with his hands, utterly mortified. "D-Don't talk about it like that…"
Shinji chuckled, pressing a kiss against Yumi's forehead. "Why not? It's adorable."
Yumi peeked up at him shyly. "D-Do you… not like them?" His voice was soft, uncertain.
Shinji's playful smirk immediately faded, replaced by something much softer. He cupped Yumi's face gently, tilting it up so their eyes met. "Baby," he said firmly, his voice filled with warmth, "I love them."
Yumi's blue eyes widened slightly.
"I love all of you," Shinji continued, his fingers tracing along Yumi's cheek. "You're perfect just the way you are."
Yumi's lips parted slightly, his heart swelling with emotion. "R-Really?"
Shinji leaned in, pressing a slow, deep kiss against his lips. "Really," he murmured against them. "I love you, baby."
Yumi melted completely, wrapping his arms around Shinji's neck, hugging him tightly. "I love you too," he whispered.
Shinji chuckled, holding him close. "Good. Now…" He smirked again. "Can I keep teasing you?"
Yumi groaned. "B-Baby!"
Shinji held Yumi close, his smirk never fading as he ran his fingers up and down Yumi's back.
The way Yumi clung to him, burying his face in his chest, only made him want to tease him more.
"Hmmm…" Shinji hummed playfully, resting his chin atop Yumi's head. "You know, baby… If we're going to have this kind of conversation, shouldn't we be somewhere more comfortable?"
Yumi stiffened slightly in his arms. "W-What do you mean?" His voice was small, muffled against Shinji's chest.
Shinji chuckled, enjoying how easily flustered Yumi got. "I mean… wouldn't our bed be a better place to talk about things like this?" His voice was smooth, teasing, laced with amusement.
Yumi's entire body tensed at those words, and Shinji could feel the warmth radiating from his face. Even without seeing him, he knew Yumi was blushing like crazy.
"B-Baby…" Yumi whined softly, his grip on Shinji's shirt tightening.
Shinji grinned. "Hmm? What's wrong, baby?" He tilted his head, pretending to be innocent. "You don't want to?"
Yumi didn't respond. Instead, he pressed his face even further against Shinji's chest, as if trying to disappear.
Shinji laughed, rubbing gentle circles on Yumi's back. "You're hiding again," he teased. "That means you're thinking about it, aren't you?"
Yumi shook his head rapidly, though the way his small fingers curled against Shinji's shirt betrayed him.
Shinji smirked. "Liar."
Yumi let out a tiny squeak but refused to lift his head.
Shinji sighed dramatically. "I guess I'll just have to carry you there myself, then."
Before Yumi could react, Shinji shifted his hold and effortlessly stood up, lifting Yumi in his arms as if he weighed nothing.
"B-Baby!" Yumi gasped, his arms instinctively wrapping around Shinji's neck.
Shinji grinned down at him. "What? You're my baby, aren't you? Carrying you to bed is part of my job."
Yumi's blush deepened, and he looked away. "Y-You're so annoying…"
Shinji chuckled, pressing a kiss to Yumi's forehead. "And yet, you love it."
Yumi didn't respond, but the small, shy smile on his lips gave him away.
Shinji carried Yumi effortlessly toward their bedroom, his smirk never fading. Yumi clung to him tightly, his small fingers gripping Shinji's shirt as he buried his face against his husband's neck. His cheeks were burning, but he refused to let Shinji see just how flustered he was.
Shinji, of course, knew exactly how Yumi was feeling—and he wasn't about to let him off the hook so easily.
"You know, baby," he mused, his voice smooth and teasing, "we've been married for a while now, right?"
Yumi hesitated, then gave a small nod against Shinji's shoulder. "Y-Yeah… so?"
Shinji grinned, stepping into their bedroom and gently placing Yumi onto the soft mattress. He hovered over him slightly, resting one arm beside Yumi's head as he stared down at him with mischievous red eyes.
"So," he continued, dragging out the word, "doesn't that mean we get to do all the things married couples do?"
Yumi's breath hitched, and his blue eyes widened. "W-What are you talking about?"
Shinji chuckled, leaning in just a little closer. "Oh, you know…" He brushed a strand of Yumi's white hair away from his face, his fingers grazing his warm cheek.
"Sleeping in the same bed. Holding each other close. And…" His smirk deepened, voice dropping into a playful whisper. "All those other things married couples do every day."
Yumi's entire body tensed. "B-Baby!!" He gasped, his hands flying up to cover his face.
Shinji let out a deep laugh, obviously enjoying Yumi's reaction. "What? Am I wrong?" He tilted his head, pretending to be innocent. "After all, you're the one who always takes the cute, girly role in this relationship."
Yumi let out a strangled whimper and shook his head. "T-That doesn't mean you have to say it out loud!"
Shinji chuckled again, reaching down to gently pry Yumi's hands away from his face. "Why not? It's true, isn't it?" He tapped Yumi's nose playfully. "You're my adorable little wife, aren't you?"
Yumi's blue eyes flickered with embarrassment, and he turned his head away stubbornly. "I-Idiot…"
Shinji smirked, leaning down to press a soft kiss against his cheek. "Say it, baby."
Yumi's face turned impossibly red. "S-Say what?"
Shinji's teasing gaze burned into him. "Say that you're my cute little wife."
Yumi shook his head rapidly. "N-No way!"
Shinji let out a dramatic sigh, pretending to be disappointed. "Hmmm… that's too bad."
He trailed his fingers along Yumi's side, making him shiver. "Because I really love the way you fit so perfectly against me… the way you always get flustered when I tease you… the way you—"
"F-Fine!!" Yumi suddenly blurted, his eyes squeezed shut in pure embarrassment. "I-I'm your cute little wife!! There! Happy?!"
Shinji blinked, then grinned triumphantly. "Very."
Yumi groaned and covered his face again, but Shinji only laughed, pulling him into a warm embrace.
"I love you, baby," Shinji murmured, kissing the top of Yumi's head.
Yumi's body relaxed against him, and despite his overwhelming embarrassment, a small, happy smile formed on his lips. "…I love you too."
"You're so cute when you're shy," Shinji murmured, brushing a few strands of white hair away from Yumi's face.
His red eyes gleamed with mischief as he leaned in, planting soft kisses along Yumi's cheek, trailing down to his jawline.
Yumi let out a quiet whimper, his body trembling slightly under Shinji's touch. "B-Baby… stop teasing…"
Shinji chuckled against his skin. "Why? You like it." His lips moved lower, pressing kisses along the curve of Yumi's neck, making him shiver.
Yumi's breath hitched, his fingers tightening against Shinji's chest. "T-That's not… I-I mean…" He trailed off, biting his lip as a deep blush covered his face.
Shinji smirked. "Hmm? What was that, baby?" His kisses continued, playful yet affectionate, trailing down Yumi's shoulder. "You were saying something?"
Yumi whimpered, his blue eyes squeezing shut. He wanted to resist, but his heart was racing too fast, his entire body betraying him.
Finally, after a few moments of silence, he shyly murmured, "J-Just be gentle…"
Shinji paused, his teasing smirk softening slightly. He pulled back just enough to meet Yumi's gaze, his red eyes searching his face.
"Of course, baby," he said gently, pressing a final kiss to his forehead. "I'll always take care of you."
Yumi's lips quivered slightly before a shy smile crept onto his face. He buried his face into Shinji's chest, hiding the deep red blush that had taken over his cheeks.
Shinji chuckled, holding him even closer. "You're adorable, you know that?"
Yumi let out a small, flustered huff. "S-Shut up…"
Shinji only laughed, pressing another soft kiss to Yumi's hair. "Never."
"Y-You're teasing too much…" Yumi mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper. His fingers clung to Shinji's shirt, his face flushed as he tried to steady his breathing.
Shinji chuckled against his skin. "Am I? You're the one melting into me, baby."
Yumi let out a quiet whimper, his blue eyes squeezing shut. His body trembled under Shinji's affection, overwhelmed by how easily his husband could make him flustered.
After a moment, Yumi hesitated before finally murmuring, "B-Baby… my body is still sore from last night…" His voice was quiet, almost shy. "S-So be gentle, okay?"
Shinji paused, then pulled back slightly, a knowing smirk forming on his lips. His red eyes gleamed as he studied Yumi's flushed face. "Oh?" He tilted his head playfully. "So I really did wear you out, huh?"
Yumi's face turned an even deeper shade of red, and he quickly hid it against Shinji's chest, gripping his shirt tightly. "D-Don't say it like that!" he whined.
Shinji let out a deep laugh, wrapping his arms around Yumi and pulling him even closer. "Alright, alright, I'll be gentle," he murmured, pressing a soft kiss to the top of Yumi's head. "But you're just too cute when you're flustered. How can I resist teasing you?"
Yumi huffed against his chest, his warm breath tickling Shinji's skin. "…Idiot."
Shinji only smirked, holding him protectively. "My cute little idiot."
Yumi didn't respond this time—he was too busy hiding his burning face, feeling completely loved in the embrace of the man he adored.
"You really are adorable," Shinji murmured before capturing Yumi's lips again, his kiss slow and teasing.
Yumi melted into him instantly, his small hands clinging to Shinji's shoulders as their lips moved in perfect harmony.
A soft sigh escaped Yumi as Shinji deepened the kiss, his fingers tracing slow, gentle patterns along Yumi's back.
Each touch sent tiny shivers through Yumi's body, making him curl closer.
Shinji smirked between kisses, pulling Yumi even tighter against him. "You're trembling, baby."
"I-It's your fault…" Yumi whispered, blushing as he tried to bury his face in Shinji's neck.
Shinji chuckled, his hands roaming over Yumi's delicate form, his touch lingering just enough to make Yumi's breath hitch.
His fingers found the edge of Yumi's top, and with an effortless motion, he helped slide it off.
Yumi gasped softly, his cheeks burning. He shyly lowered his gaze, feeling the warmth of Shinji's hands as they continued their slow, teasing exploration.
Shinji leaned in close, his lips brushing against Yumi's ear. "Relax, baby," he whispered. "It's just me."
Yumi bit his lip, nodding shyly before letting himself be enveloped in Shinji's warmth once again.
