suguru… I like you …

It was a nice sunny day and Suguru was working at the same coffee shop for a few months now, loving his job half of the time,just a month or two ago he'd become friends with one of the shops regulars, satoru.

He was a tall slender man with looks that could kill. Sure he found him to be absolutely stunning, at the same time he'd mastered how to keep a poker face despite the constant flirting, he'd just recently gotten the man's number, half ignoring most of the dumb videos he'd send him, he knew for sure the other wouldn't take offense to him ignoring him, he'd never leave him completely on read always liking the message to show he actually paid attention.

He would be excited to see him each day, rain or shine.  He had memorized the males  usual order and going as far to give him the small discount and throw in a free pastry here and there. Suguru had  woken up early this morning to see him at his usual hour, waiting behind the counter for him as he cleaned up after himself between customers just watching the clock. Saturo had finally made it to the coffee shop waiting in line to order as there was maybe  about sic people in front of him he checked his phone sending geto a picture of him in line as he hummed softly to him self checking his phone every once in a while for his reply.

Once the male had seen Satoru in line his eyes lit up as he smiled helping the people in front of him once he had gotten to him he  received the text, setting his phone next to the cup as he read it. he rolled his eyes as if it wasn't obvious, how could he ever miss him? even in a room with a hundred people he would easily point him out. he didn't reply, turning his phone off before handing the drink over and tending to the rest of the customers before he got to the end of the line.

He gave him a small smile with his expression saying it all, "you're an idiot" he said before he ringed him up for his usual order, hand reaching for the receipt as he let out a slight laugh. "really didn't think i'd notice you walk in?" he said as he moved down the drink line and began making his order before giving it to him along with a pastry. "let's go sit down, i'm on break as of now" he said, grabbing a pastry for himself and grabbing them a two person table and sitting. not really caring if he left his apron on.

"really had to send me about a hundred videos yesterday?" he asked jokingly

"Yeah of course I had to it was just in cause you missed me"he teased as he smiled at him leaned back in his chair as he chuckled softly " ya know sometimes I think you miss me when I'm not here so I  obviously have to send you hundreds of videos so you don't miss this pretty face."

He ate his pastry as he took a sip of his coffee as he smiled to him self closing his eyes a bit taking in the taste of his drink and snack as he nodded looking at geto " you know you always make my coffee more and more tasty each time I come here..." geto raised a brow, that small smile still lined his lips. "in case i missed you?" he took a bite of his pastry,

"you're full of yourself satoru" he said as he held eye contact with him, staying pretty cold yet maintaining his teasing tone to make sure the man wasn't taking him seriously even though he knew he wouldn't regardless. "oh sure- let me see that" he said before snatching the drink from his hand and taking a sip, giving it back. "it tastes the same, but i *am* pretty good at making coffee.." he said softly, praising himself.

"ah- i was hoping you'd come with me to lunch? since you've been begging me for the past week. thought i'd get you off my back if i gave in, kill two bird with one stone? i could go for some lunch later. i've had enough of my own cooking and fast food.." he admitted, finishing his pastry. "Yeah yeah but still just in cause tho suguru\~\~..." he teased as he rolled his eyes playfully as he nodded some bit listening to him he sipped his coffee

he shrugged, snatching the drink again before taking another sip. "you're paying. since you've been nagging so much. it's payback" he explained, totally ignoring his teasing He turned away a bit as he mocked him before grabbing his coffee as he flicked his forehead " yeah yeah what ever I know and stop takings my coffee-"

he let out a light huff as he got up to get his own drink from the counter that he'd left, sitting back down with it and sipping it. "where and what time, you professional nagger?" he asked, studying his face as he waited for the set time he'd have to leave work. "you should know, just to get back at you im ordering the most expensive thing on the menu" he teased, wanting to see how far he could go until satoru began to get a little irritated

"Yeah yeah ... I was thinking when ever you get off of work we can go I don't know where tho how about you pick the place " he looked at him as he leaned back in his hair a bit finishing his drink he watched him as he leaned back in his seat, trying to make the most out of his short break. "and- you're picking me up from my apartment." he said quickly, knowing he could easily drive himself.

"Yeah yeah I know "he rolled his eyes playfully as he sat back down looking at him geto rolled his eyes right back, "guess i'll send you my address? or do you already know because you stalk me?"

"Mmmm.. no I need it - and I don't stalk you-!"he huffed softly as he grumbled he gave the man an unamused look, "act like a child and i won't go. you already annoy me enough as is" he mentioned, grabbing a piece of paper from his apron and writing his address. "and don't be late"

" yeah yeah what ever-.. "

He snickered a bit as he watched him do so pulling his phone out before scrolling on his phone a bit geto got up and grabbed himself another pastry, breaking it in half before going back over and offering one of them. even if he wasn't great at showing it he was glad he had someone to be around that he actually liked, this being his small gesture. "if you're five minutes early, i'll pay""Alright then "he nodded as he check the time before looking at him "fine don't take it"

he shrugged before getting up again, taking both halves of the pastry back behind the counter and starting to get to work again. he began helping his coworker make and finish a few drinks before glancing at satoru, as much as he wanted to go back and sit with him his break was over. he pointed at the half of the pastry in a napkin, gesturing for him to come get it Gojo got up and went to him as he grabbed it from him as he took a bit going to sit back down he hummed a little to him self as he left and went home to get ready the other continued working until he'd clocked out to go home, getting showered and ready. he decided to wear something casual, yet still looking put together and neat.

he sat in his living room until the other man got there, giving himself a last check in his phone camera before scrolling mindlessly. he thought to himself for a little, wondering why the man had been nagging all that time for lunch together Once he was ready he had left to the others house as he played some music as he sang along once he was there he go out of his car and knocked on the door fixing him self a bit geto got up, answering the door and looked the man up and down.

"well how about that? you clean up nice satoru" he said before grabbing his wallet and locking the door behind him. he pinched the corner of the man's shirt, nodding. "looks nice on you" he said as he made his way into the passenger seat. He nodded a bit as he smiled " thanks ,you look nice too " he walked to the car as he got in starting the car as he looked over at him

he took it upon himself to change the station on the radio, acting totally privileged. "satoru, i was kidding about making you pay you know" he said before swatting his arm. "don't worry, wouldn't make my favorite customer pay for me"

He started to drive as he slightly looked at him " yeah I know but still I wanna pay it's my treat to you " "oh really? treat for what?" he asked, rolling his eyes. he knew no matter what he'd try and get the man to give in and let him at least pay for himself. "just let me pay and i won't be grumpy." "Mmm nah  you don't have to pay imma pay it's fine " he smiled as he kept driving shaking his head as he tapped along to the music " so where are we gonna eat at?" The male kept driving as Suguru put the direction into the other's phone for him. "c'mon satoru, don't be difficult" he rolled his eyes playfully before letting out a small laugh, putting directions in gojos phone for him. "any plans after this?" he asked decidinghed finally ask to hang out with him to make up for turning him down so many times. besides he was finally coming to the realization that he liked satorus company.He shrugged a bit as he hummed " mmm no I was just gonna go home after and sleep what about you?" He stopped at a red lighthe thought for a moment before finally asking, "was gonna ask if you'd wanna come over?" he said pretty coldly, not wanting to sound desperate or really even hint that he had feelings. "figured i'd stop the constant nagging before it began" he teased, "come over"He nodded as he drove again " alright then I will come over " he smiled as he sang a long to the song as he kept drivingonce they got there and got off the car he walked in with satoru, finding them a table and sitting down. "and don't go thinking this is a date, got it satoru\~?" he teased, hoping to get some sort of reaction from him. "but maybe next time it can be as long as you're not nagging." he said before giving him a soft smile, admiring his featuresHe rolled his as he looked at him " sure maybe next time I will make it a date su\~gu\~ru\~" he slightly teased back walking in to the restaurantgeto glanced at him with hazy eyes as they sat down, still taking in about every detail about him. "oh? i was kidding but sure." he said, giving him a slight grin as he fixed his hair, chin in hid palm as he waited to order. "satoru.. how come you come in the coffee shop everyday? no sane person does that.""Mmh"he nodded sitting down as he looked at him he paused for a moment as he thought to himself mind: should I tell him now I like him or wait till later on...? " oh because the coffee is really good and it's kinda close to my house so I can just walk there "he raised a brow in suspicion and shrugged it off, "anyway, don't expect me to let you spend the night. you've already given me a headache" he joked, "but i do have a bunch of snacks, i know you like your cola.. i've got a few in the fridge." he then ordered for himself, finally getting his drink as he waited for his food now. "ya know, that shirt *really* looks good on you. makes your eyes pop even more than they already do" he complimented quietly"Hmmm well maybe then I might have to spend the night because of the cola " he chuckled a bit as he ordered himself a beer and his food looking over at himsuguru rolled his eyes at him, "i said- you know what. fine, sleep on the couch" he sipped his drink and fixed his hair. he glanced at the drink the man ordered, glancing back up at him. "let me try-" he grabbed the cup and took a small sip before giving it back. "there's no way you *like* this.. try mine, it's much better than whatever *this* is"He rolled his eyes a bit as he sipped his drink and shook his head looking at him " nope-.."he took a moment and reached up, giving himself an effortless half up half down style and raised a brow at him. "so.. when will you stop keeping secrets?" he asked casually, "not being yourself.. says it all""I-.."he blushes as he shook his head and looking away "I- I don't know what you mean suguru.. -"he gave him an unamused look, "oh come on satoru, think i wouldn't notice? i think i've known you long enough to know when somethings up. "you're more, quiet i guess. like somethings on your mind" he noted, "what happened to the old satoru? liked him better""O-oh.." he kept looking away as he shook his head as the food finally came he thanked the waiter " what do you mean I'm fine suguru..""It's nothing I promise okay I just haven't been sleeping lately like... I have been working really late and getting home late.." he looked at him before taking a bite of his food and drinking his beer he pointed in his face, brow raised at him now. "that-" he said quickly, "used to be a bit happier, did i finally say something to upset you or something" he asked. beginning to finally eat his food. "tell me or you can't stay over." he said sternly. "It's nothing I promise okay I just haven't been sleeping lately like... I have been working really late and getting home late.." he looked at him before taking a bite of his food and drinking his beer "then.. maybe you can rest at my place." he offered. he still knew the man wasn't being completely truthful, making it a goal to get it out of him eventually. after about half an hour they both finished their food, getting up and about to leave. suguru fought to pay for himself, leaving a large tip instead. He chuckled a bit as he walked out to the car as he opened the door for him he got in after as he started the car

geto had gotten in the car with him, watching him for the corner of his eyes as he sat beside him. "you better drive us safely" he said softly, a little buzzed himself from the few drinks he had from his meal. "we can watch a movie or something at my place"

"Yeahhh\~.."he nodded as he started to drive he played some music as he slightly looked at him and slowly moved his hand to geto's thigh as he looked at the road his face went a light shade of pink as he glanced down at the man's hand on his thigh. "satoru.." he said softly, hesitating before placing his hand over the others. he didn't know what to think, finally speaking again. "what's this for..? getting bold on me now?""Mmmm...?"he kept driving as he hummed going back to suguru's place as he parked his car and looked at him then looking at his hand before blushing lightly "I-.. sorry.." he moved his hand "Alright.."he nodded as he looked for a movie to watch as he put on a random one and sat on the couch looking over at suguru then looking back at the tv

"dont be.." he grabbed his hand and gave it a slight squeeze before getting out of the car with him. he then pulled the taller man inside with him and locked the door behind them. "go find a movie or something for us to watch.."he took his shoes off and sat beside the man, glancing at him. "how come you suddenly got bold on me? mm?" he asked, "didn't tell you to stop did i?" he whispered, his eyes hazy as he maintained eye contact with him He blushed a bit as he looked at him and shook his head "I-...umm.. I don't know .. just forget what happened okay ?.." he looked away from him as he thought to himself mind: fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... I should tell him now no I shouldn't I should tell him and then leave or I should get more drunk then tell him so I can forget about it tomorrow morning.. he studied the man's face for a moment before rolling his eyes playfully and grabbing the man's chin, making him hold eye contact. "*satoru..*" he whispered, finally leaning in and kissing the man's lips. pulling back slowly before holding eye contact with him again. "you're terrible at hiding things.." he said quietly, pressing his forehead against the others Gojo's face became more red as he looked at him as he closed his eyes not wanting to look at him as he shook his head "suguru..."

"don't tell me you're all flustered over that" he laughed, letting go of his chin as he moved back a little to admire him. "did you still wanna drink with me?" he offered, "you'll only get some if you explain yourself.. why you've been hiding secrets"

He huffed softly as his face was slightly red as he looked at him "fine...I .. I really like you suguru.. I've liked you for a while now but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know if you felt the same so I just kept quiet cause I didn't wanna really embarrass myself..." he looked at the tv staying quiet for a moment as he looked down a bit he gave him a slight smile before cupping his cheek and making him look up and hold eye contact with him. "satoru.. you should know how i feel now.. what does that tell you- what does.. *this* tell you..?" he asked before leaning in once more and placing a soft kiss to his lips. "i'd say anyone who'd reject you is an idiot.."He smiled a bit as he pulled him close kissing him back as he wrapped his arms around his neck a bit as he leaned his body on to getos after a short while he pulled back and connected their foreheads, "satoru.." he said softly. "thats all it took.. and you were afraid..? i'd say that isn't like you at all if i'm honest.." he teased " yeah yeah I know..-and I'm sorry for not telling you" he held his waist a bit as he rested his head on his shoulder "I was nervous that you might not had feel the same way as I did and I though if I did tell you and you didn't have those feelings I would have just embarrassed myself or things would have Ben awkward between us..."suguru only glared at him with a quite unamused look before dropping it and glancing off to the side. "doesn't help that i kept rejecting your invitations to go out huh?" he then made eye contact with him again. "does this mean i get the old satoru back?" he teased, "my old satoru?" he gave him a small smile. leaning in a little and kissing his cheek. "if not you dint get your cola, i mean it"He nodded a bit as he rolled his eyes playfully " yes you get the old Satoru back.." he smiled leaning into him more as he closed his eyes.
