While it had become a bit obvious that the NBA, or the equivalent of it, had been long out of his reach by now, Kagami couldn't really say he was mad about it. He had gotten over it a long time ago, because he was now able to do the second goal he had in his life. It was a dangerous job, being a firefighter, but his ice powers made things a little easier.
Not to mention that coming home to someone was another reason why Kagami couldn't find it in himself to really come to regret anything about his life right now. He missed his family back home, he missed Seirin and Kuroko especially, but ten years was a long time and those who still remained in Lunatia found a new life. His happened to come with a charming hawk that he never would have expected to ask out on a date, let alone marry five years after his arrival here. But it all happened naturally, organically really. He wasn't sure when he realized his feelings, how it even happened, but it was all too easy to finally kiss the guy and let everything else happen as they did.
As was usually the case, Kagami was in the kitchen. Although today was a bit of a special day given it was someone's birthday. Tiger was perched on his shoulder, watching him cook up his husband's favorites. Not that it stopped Kagami from feeding her extra bits of bacon from time to time. The last cat was roaming somewhere in the living room, he was certain. He had been on call the night before, so he was a bit tired despite the early morning. But he also promised himself that he'd treat Takao before getting a mid-day nap in (he got today off so he wasn't worried) at some point. Tiger meowed impatiently when he stopped to let out a big yawn.
"Yeah, yeah, you'll get your turn, furball," He muttered affectionately, stroking between her ears before nudging her off his shoulder as he needed to start moving the hot pan and foods around. "C'mon, down you go, girl."
Takao has no doubt his husband would be more than skilled for the NBA or equivalent, what he had chosen instead was a noble path. While he may worry each time he goes to work, he is also proud of the man and who has become as they have aged. Grateful to the ice powers that he hopes will keep his love safe and return him home to him each time.
The kitchen is his first stop and as he finds Tiger and Kagami he can not help but prop his body against the doorway and just watch him, oh the kitten is cute but his eyes are drawn to his husband and even today his heart still skips a beat at the sight of him. When he watches as Tiger is slipped treats and he can not stop the soft snicker that leaves him in response. That yawn draws him forward more than the smell of the food, he knows Kagami is sleepy and only hanging in there for him.
By the time Tiger is nudged away he is next to his husband, the cat rubbing around his legs but knowing that Takao is going to ignore him beyond raising his leg a little return the affection as he goes to his tip toes, lips touching to his husband’s cheek, slipping around behind him after to softly run his hands up the taller male’s back in affection, coming around to kiss his other cheek before leaning against the counter beside him with a grin.
"Hey, take it easy," Kagami grumbled, but there was no heat behind it. Just a fond exasperation as his husband decided to be touchy-feely while he was handing very hot food, Takao. "I'm handling dangerous food here, you know."
But, of course, Takao didn't stick around for too long and kept out of the way as Kagami resumed finishing up the cooking. His own stomach was rumbling despite his sleepiness. It'll wake him up a little but he will ultimately go nap at some point later. Instead, he focused on getting the food plated. "Take a seat, birthday boy, don't stare there like a dumbass."
There is nothing more than a snicker when he is told to be careful because of the food; a soft, playful shrug of his shoulder follows the sound, "I figure I married the hottest firefighter in town for a reason; you can handle it."
No, it was more just an appreciative good morning than anything else; who can blame him, sometimes he can't help himself. The likelihood of him finding his husband napping with him seems pretty high; Takao has no plans today and never sleeps quite well when Kagami is out for the night with work. "I don't know; it's such a nice view."
He snickers again, still that same tell-tale sputter when something tickles him; he gives a light, playful swat to his husband's bottom before he heads to sit down; any grumbling will have to be saved till the other joins him at the table.
"I'd like to not have to rush you to the hospital," Kagami continued to grumble even if this wasn't exactly an unusual occurrence. He rolled his eyes at the compliment. The guy was always running his mouth but it seemed to get worse now that they're married. Kagami never really knew how to handle those kinds of compliments, even if he really did appreciate them. But his ears still turned a little red and then it was also his turn to sputter with the smack to his ass. "Oi!"
He squinted his eyes playfully, using the spoon to pretend to swat right back. The guy is supposed to be almost 30 and still acted like a teenager!
"The things I put up with," He sighed, all melodrama and no heat as he plated the food and brought them to the table. They were all Takao's favorites.
"I guess, we can skip that for my birthday at least, maybe even yours." He teases, not intending or wanting to end up at the hospital, it's his day off, no medical facilities, please. He watches his husband's ears turn red and it only makes the former point guard smile all the more. It's cute, how even after all these years he can still fluster the taller man by flirting openly with him that way. Never mind that over the years he has done far more lewd things than smack his clothed ass. Kagami will always fluster, Takao will always find it endearing, it's just a part of how they are together.
He's in love, it makes him feel like a teenager also he still lives by living life to the fullest and not holding anything back. That includes teasing his husband, almost thirty or not!
"It's such a hard life, isn't it." He is grinning, one leg tucked beneath him on his chair as he rests his palm on his chin, watching Kagami as he brings the plated food to the table, he knows they are all geared to be his favorites and he can not help but feel a tug in his heart at it, his next words are genuine.
Kagami was not always one to easily fluster, but he supposed with Takao it was different. He knew he got hotheaded and emotional, but it never really translated to being flustered (outside of Alex doing her usual nonsense) before. But it wasn't like he didn't like it. As embarrassed as he felt, Kagami always felt good whenever Takao went out of his way to something like this. It was always small gestures too, never anything major.
"Yeah, yeah, eat up, birthday boy, I got a nap to catch up on," Kagami rolled his eyes with a small, wry smile as he made himself a plate as well and sat beside him. "Food is the easiest to remember and the easiest to give you."
Not that he didn't have something else to give Takao. He wasn't just going to give Takao breakfast for his birthday. But he did want a nap and then he could give his husband his actual gift.
Takao is probably easier to fluster than his husband, except when it's him doing the flustering and he has to admit, he likes it; it is one of a hundred things that endear him more each day to the man he chose to spend his life with. Neither of them is a grand gesture type; it's a kiss to the cheek, a pinch of the butt, a breakfast cooked for a birthday. Tiny little moments, all adding up to a total whole, and Takao treasures and enjoys them all.
"So bossy.." He pretends pouts, though it can hardly last for long, even as he does try to play it up at the mention of food being the easiest to give. "What, not even a real kiss for my birthday, how cruel."
By the time he says it, he is already grinning, too playful and happy to worry about really pretending to be offended. After more than one birthday together, he knows better, and his husband also knows breakfast would be enough. As long as he has him, everything else is just a bonus.
Kagami reached over, cupping Takao's chin so his fingers would squish his cheeks. "You'll get your kiss eventually, be patient, Kazu-chan."
Then, he leaned in to kiss the now puckered lips due to his light manhandling, more like a peck and hardly a real kiss though. Kagami liked to tease when he could, today being Takao's birthday was no exception. He let go and went to his own food. He really did have more planned, he just needed a few hours of sleep to make up for last night and he was good to go. It wasn't like they didn't have time anyway, his plans were set for this afternoon and later, so it was all good.
It's silly how that move, goofy as it is makes his heart race just a little. He is so stupidly in love with his husband that he is grinning as much as his smushed cheeks will allow.
When he gets nothing more than a peck he is snickering before it's over, flashing a very fake pout at his husband. Because even a peck from this man warms him from his head to his toes and makes him feel loved just as much in return. When he returned to his food so did the point guard. "Tease." It is said lightly full of affection and it is followed by a very pleased sound by his first bite of food.
"Though, you're a good cook so I guess I'll keep you."
"Oh, good to know I'll still have a roof over my head."
Kagami snorted softly, digging into his own meal once Takao finally did. He was also very pleased himself with how the breakfast turned out, and enjoyed hearing Takao only made it sweeter. Still, it was inevitable that the hearty meal would only add to his drowsiness and he blinked sleepily as he finished up his plate. He rubbed his eyes with a sigh.
"Sorry," He yawned. Kagami figured he should at least do the dishes before crawling into their bed for a few hours. But he really didn't want to this time.
"You could always sleep at the station, I'm sure the rest of the team would kill to have you there full time cooking for them." Not that they will ever get that chance because Takao will have his husband home with him every chance they get.
He smiles softly when he sees the yawn, birthday or not he can wash a few dishes and as he finishes up he wipes his mouth, gets up out of his seat, and moves over, pushing his husband's chair back he sits in his lap, wraps arms around his neck and leans in, kissing his lips softly.
"Yeah, I'm sure they would," Kagami replied with a sleepy chuckle, smile turning teasing. "But then I'd never come home and that would be a shame. I'd miss the cats too much."
He hummed at the kiss, arms wrapping loosely around Takao's waist even though he was very certain the man wouldn't fall. He let his forehead lay on his husband's shoulder with a sigh. "You shouldn't be doing dishes on your birthday though. Doesn't seem fair."
Takao snickers, even after all these years it's still that same right from his heart, a happy sound he has always made as he settles in comfortably in his husband's lap. "Oh they would come to find you, I don't think they'd know what to do without you. Then they'd make you sleep on the couch for making them lonely"
No, he would not, but the arms are more than appreciated, they have been his safe place for many years now and Takao basks in the familiar comfort of them around his waist. Fingers carding softly through red locks, the other set of digits gently beginning to massage into Kagami's tired shoulders.
"Mm, but then you'll just have to make it up to me when you wake up seems like a bonus to me."
"Pfft, they already do," Kagami snorted softly, shivering lightly at the fingers in his hair. That felt nice and made him sleepier. Damn it! He didn’t want to sleep yet but if he wanted the rest of the birthday date to go smoothly, he really needed to catch some Z’s. So, it was with heavy reluctance that he gripped Takao’s hips to gently lift him from his lap so he could slide off the stool as well to do as he was told.
"Okay, okay, I already have other things planned anyway. Just don’t let me sleep past noon." That should be enough time to get a shower in and be ready to go. The making up would happen after that since they’d never leave the bedroom if he did!
"That's because they love you." He grins, missing the closeness the moment his husband moves him. Even after these years together he still craves that contact with him more than anything else. He needs no moon or any other factor, just the man he loves close at his side. Not that his moon doesn't give them certain benefits they take advantage of, but even without it, he'd still want to snuggle, kiss, and otherwise love all over the redhead.
"You got it hot stuff." He assumes any makeup will happen after whatever else Kagami has planned, because the other is right, they won't leave the bed the rest of the day if they don't behave now. He stills one last kiss before shooing his husband and heading in to take care of dishes.
He showers takes care of the cats and straightens up around their apartment. A few minutes before noon he slips into their bed, curling in against his love, he cards fingers through Kagami's hair, leans in and kisses him softly.
"Mmph," Is the grumble that escaped into the pillow at being woken up. The nap had done wonders, but that didn't mean he didn't want to just stay and cocoon himself into Takao's warmth for the rest of the day. But that would interfere with the plans he had set out and it literally took every ounce of willpower not to just chuck those plans aside so he could ravish his partner for the rest of the day instead.
Seriously, one would think he was still 18 and not 28 with how horny Takao made him sometimes.
Another grumble and he was pulling his face from the pillow with a soft sigh. "Okay, okay, 'm up."
