Looking up at him was already such a feat, but when he stood this close, Gorou already felt the neck pain settle in. Itto was so close to him and yet would not look down at his tiny boyfriend for even one second.
Gorou had traveled all the way from watatsumi island to see his boyfriend after weeks of being apart, and now that we was finally here, he could not get the oni’s attention.
Okay well he was being dramatic, because truthfully Itto hadn't stopped touching him from the second he arrived. Once Gorou had stepped of the bout he was grabbed off the ground in a truly impressive bear hug. After he was set on the ground he was given a very sweet kiss and then his hand had been grabbed at he was pulled through the streets of Rito and straight to their current destination. A beetle fighting tournament.
Of course the only thing that could distract Itto from his very sweet, stong, and cute boyfriend were beetles. And Gorou would not admit to being jealous of an insect.
So here he stood, too large hands on his waist, back pressed up against very hot abs and neck strained up to look at the underside of his boyfriends very impressive jaw. All while Itto never glanced down at the dog hybrid in his arms, all too busy excitedly shouting at the beetle he liked for this round.
Gorou sighed again and looked back down to the beetles fighting in front of him. At least he was comfortable at the moment, resting against the wall he called a partner, but he so rarely had time off, he at the very least wanted to spend at least some time with his boyfriend alone, and maybe go on a date to look around the city or drink some tea by the water or something.
Looking back up at his boyfriend though, he couldn't help but feel bad. This was clearly something that Itto cared for very much, and he probably thought dragging his boyfriend here fresh off a boat was something of a good idea. Right? With a resigned sigh, Gorou once again looked back at the beetles and tried to focus. This was for Itto after all and Gorou had started to really care for the giant idiot.
Gorou did eventually start getting into the excitement when a much smaller beetle beat 3 much larger beetles in battle. By the 4th round Gorou was screaming along with Itto and they both started screaming and jumping when it did win the final battle of the night. Gorou in his excitement turned around and saw the happiness in Itto’s eyes as he finally looked at Gorou.
That was when Gorou finally understood what was happening. Itto was nervous. Nervous to share this with Gorou, Nervous he would hate it or hate him, He had just been trying to introduce Gorou to something he loved. Gorou felt guilt enter his heart and leaned up quickly to quell both of their worries in a kiss. It wasn't long but it was long enough for Gorou to open his heart just a little more to the Giant he may be starting to love.
