H-Happy Birthday Hifumi …！！ I’m sorry、 I know I don’t … express it all too much … but I’m really、 really grateful for you. I don’t … think I deserve you a lot of the time、 even when you make me wanna bash my head against the wall but … You deserve the best day today.

Me ⠀⠀WuXian ⠀⠀ 🤝 thirsting over Jyuto

UH-?! It’s embarrassing— But he high fives the other back after much hesitation.

It’s okay.. I’m no one important.. at least I’m not the only one though, haha.

I suppose.. I mean — I’ve gotten pretty popular after the latest rap battles so I guess you have a point.. I don’t really feel any different though.

His face blossoms in a ridiculously brightened shade of red、 causing the salaryman to force out a few coughs. They are … yes.

More than I can count … it’s basically a way of life here now.. You … you’re not from here、 are you？ Or you’d know.. ⠀⠀Mm、 yeah. I suppose. I am a lot happier、 I’d like to think.

Sorry、 it’s just embarrassing … I can’t talk about these kinds of things out loud、 so … Ah — ah、 yeah、 he is. He’s stunningly gorgeous… can’t keep my mind off of him.

Huh？

You should … especially since you don’t know how to rap. Most men around here already do. [ Curving his body into a deep bow. ] ⠀⠀Thank you … I’m - er … Kannonzaka Doppo.

Yeah — I’d get in a lot of trouble if anyone heard it … and I might just fade from existence out of complete embarrassment. Hh … yeah … my boss’s called me out a bunch of times for being distracted during work.

A few tricks …？ A - Ah … I’m sorry！ [ He does another bow、 perhaps slightly less pronounced as if to make up for it. And another for apologizing purposes. ]

Lovel —— ⠀⠀His thoughts interrupted by the sudden embrace of the other、 arms twining tightly around him. ⠀⠀His heart beats、 head spinning from the overwhelming emotion —— but he buries his head within the crook of Jyuto’s neck、 returning the hug with matched fervor.

His earlobes redden from the tingle of Jyuto’s harsh breathing — uneven and so unlike the crooked cop who usually radiated natural calm and order. ⠀⠀〝J-Jyuto …〞 He mumbles into the lapels of his jacket、 voice embarrassed yet gentle with overwhelmed joy.

T-The DEAD？？！ [ Sorry. Excuse him while he freaks out momentarily. ]
