[ he sat cross-legged on the bed, a small stack of neatly placed presents in front of him. he reached for the first one that caught his attention, his fingers trembling slightly— of course, it was that painting. it was small and beautifully illustrated, warming up his heart instantly. denji ran his thumb over the texture, his eyes softening as memories flooded back. his lips pressed into a thin line, and a bittersweet smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
each one of the other gifts was equally special, and he laughed a bit at the bento box, fully understanding the reason behind it. the candies he will inhale in one sitting, the blanket, and the adorable set of scarf/gloves that he will certainly need in these cold months. it ends with the necklace, which denji holds up for a closer look with a growing smile. ]
[ Aki smiles softly all the same, settling on the bed to watch the man in front of him carefully. The presents were hand picked, were all thought out and made carefully, and he's glad to see they're being apreciated. That they're wanted.
[ denji is still busy playing with the new charm between his fingers, taking a closer look at the design and grinning. is that a mini chainsaw man head? heh. cute. ]
[ Aki smiles fondly, unable to help himself, leaning back and crossing his legs properly under him. This probably isn't even that big of an announcement, not really, but... ]
[ once he's done with the nicely secured necklace around his neck, denji moves on to the selection of sugary delights. of course he couldn't help but to try a few for a taste! just a few. he knew he was under the watchful eyes of mr. 'No sugar after 9:00 pm!'.
[ .... okay. now that got denji's attention, and he glanced up, brows furrowed, not in anger, but in genuine confusion. silence. he then raised one brow, almost comically, slowly returning his gaze to the item between his fingers.
and then, very casually- ]
Men can't get married. Are you guys playing pretend?
[ listen, they both came from the 90s, and denji is still stuck there. so- ]
[ he stops toying with whatever he had between his fingers, lowering his hands down to his lap. he squints, then scowls, more confused than anything else. for someone who's in a relationship with another man, this will sound hella weird ... ]
Why, though? isn't the whole point of getting married is to have kids?
