Sweet & Naughty Valentines

Doing anything for Hajime Shino was a win-win situation, even if it meant dressing up as a cute fairy completely opposite of his image.
 
As in, Ibara and Hajime have a sweet Valentines date in advance!
 
- Ficwip's Hey Sweetheart Challenge 2023 -

 I~ba~nya~n~ ♪ Ex-cu-se-me… ~ ♪”

After crossing the Cospro’s empty hallways step by step like a furtive bunny, Hajime slowly opened the CEO’s door without knocking, as usual. The building after working hours was taken by the silence typical of liminal spaces, parking lot empty and Ibara’s office being the only one left with lights on.

Still, no fear haunted the bunny’s heart while entering the quiet room, despite getting no answer to his self-announcement nor finding traces of snakes at sight. Humming, he simply locked the door behind him, adjusted the backpack tires on his shoulders and walked to the farthest corner of the office, noticing the blinds sealing the windows from the outside world as well. 

Only the weak beam of light leaking under the door would imply that Ibara was still there working late, even though the chances of someone peeking to check were practically zero. But safety measures were essential to him, so Hajime would gladly comply as usual, honestly admiring his attention to the smallest details.

Reaching the discreet backdoor and repeating the sequence of numbers reserved to him and him only, the bunny was already feeling that special rush of adrenaline that only their secret relationship graced him with. At this point he had accepted he was kind of addicted to it… on top of other things regarding his dear Ibanyan.

“Ibaaaanyan…. ~ ♪ I’m here, sorry the wait ~ ♪”

Hajime opened a large smile, leaving the public office behind and arriving at one of their little secret havens. And as expected he met a warm reception, watching Ibara turn his head and smile at him the way only his Jimenyan was allowed to see.

“Jimenyan… ~ ♪ Don’t worry, I didn’t wait for long! Come here ~” He was already reaching a hand to Hajime, just to have the boy immediately plopping over him on the red coach, coat and backpack left at the door.

“Ehe ~ got you ~ ♥”

Ibara was used to the bunny’s enthusiasm, welcoming the weight on his chest with joy, enjoying the small giggles and that particular warmth blossoming in his heart. A kiss didn’t take long to seal the awaited meeting without any waste of words, Hajime’s arms draped around his neck and Ibara pulling him closer by the waist, giving in to his cravings just like his needy partner.

Accepting so much affection wasn’t an easy path, but Hajime had found his unique ways to seep through the cracks of Ibanyan’s walls and claim the hard-earned fruits of his efforts. How could Ibara not admire such dedication? To the point he was actually quite proud of the effects he was able to cause in the younger idol. 

And he had accepted he was kind of addicted to it too, on top of other things regarding his dear Jimenyan.

“Ehe… I missed you… ~ ♪” Hajime whispered tenderly once they parted from the slow kiss, brushing hair behind Ibara’s ear. The answer came as a trail of soft kisses on his neck, causing light shivers and surrounding him with a pleasant smell of coffee with faint hints of gunpowder, only noticeable if you had the privilege to be so close. A real contrast with Hajime’s fresh lavender fragrance, resulting in a peculiar mix absolutely comforting for them both.

“Apologies, Jimenyan ~ I’ll make up for it to the best of my abilities!”  Ibara smiled, doing his signature salute and looking deeply into his bunny’s eyes. “... I missed you as well. Of course I did.”

And it should be illegal how Hajime’s sparkly expression could infatuate Ibara’s heart every damn time, crumbling his defenses and vanishing any thought about the outside world. Even if he had absolutely brought it upon himself when he first allowed the blue rabbit at his arms’ reach.

“Hmhm, I’m sure you gonna make up for it… ehe ~ ♪ and we both know how, hm?” Hajime winked with a small grin, nuzzling their noses together and making Ibara raise eyebrows, reminded of the plan for tonight’s date. Not like they need more than their own desires to meet up, but sharing special flavors is also a regular part of their fun.

So when the bunny hopped from the couch, Ibara already knew what kind of fate was waiting for him.

“... we are really doing this, huh…” He sighed in defeat, sitting up to have a better view of his boyfriend happily taking the Branco outfit out of the backpack, carefully placing it on the table piece after piece.

“Hm? Of course we are, I didn’t carry it all the way for nothing ~ ♪” Hajime turned to Ibara again with pleading eyes, holding the blue and white fairy hat with both hands, nuzzling it against his own cheek.

“Unless Ibanyan is really uncomfortable about it, hm?” He added with a tender tone, and Ibara knew he genuinely wouldn’t want to push him too far in any situation. The boy’s kind side was as real as his sneaky one, after all… And that was one of the reasons Ibara was unable to resist it, giving Hajime privileges no one else could dream of getting from him even under torture.

“Come on, it’s not that serious. Anything for you, sweetheart .” Ibara picked up the Branco hat with both hands and nonchalantly wore it, unaware of his impact on the suddenly flustered bunny staring at him. 

“Hm? Does the hat already turn you on that fast…? How needy is my Jimenyan… ~ ♪” He teased, holding Hajime’s hand to bring him closer and taste again that sweet flowery scent, even though his nose brushing on the bunny’s neck didn’t cause any reaction until a shy whisper escaped him.

“T-that’s… really nice to hear…” 

It was Ibara’s turn to freeze in place and feel his cheeks growing warm, finally realizing the reason for Hajime’s embarrassment. 

Sweetheart.

They both knew Ibara wasn’t the type to make genuine sweet and cheesy talk, even in the intimacy of the bedroom. But the words rolled from his tongue so naturally he didn’t even register it until Hajime pointed it out directly, his fast heartbeats pounding against Ibara’s chest.

“... the hat looks good on you, too… ehe  ~ ♪” He softly added, arms around Ibara’s neck and gently running fingers through his hair, trying to keep the atmosphere light since his boyfriend should be feeling self-conscious as hell by now.

Hajime just hoped he could have been more discreet himself, but the pet name made his heart take a leap faster than any rational thought. Hiding his emotions wasn’t his strong point, after all. 

That was Ibara’s expertise, except in moments like this, when a strange type of dread crawled in his heart and the fear of losing control filled his brain with static noise. And all because he had said a casual word that every couple under the sun would use without a second thought, not a big deal for most people and absolutely not a life or death situation.

But fully aware that Hajime was doing his best to not overwhelm him and accommodate his personal discomforts, he was also pushing through to not allow that fog to win over his senses. His boyfriend deserved so much better than an emotionally constipated fool like him, and still…

Words wouldn’t do any good right now, so Ibara chose the 100% success rate route he knew of, pulling Hajime closer and locking lips with him again, suffocating any cloudy thoughts and annoying self-doubts with the sweet and strong taste of lavender.

“Anything for you. I mean it.” He repeated in a kind whisper, holding Hajime’s chin and looking deeply into his eyes, finding comfort in those deep purple gems so dear to him. And judging by the bright expression coming back to the bunny’s face, it was working wonders for him too.

“Now, shall we proceed with the mission, Jimenyan ~ ?” He could feel proud and satisfied with himself by now, but the date was just starting. Even an emotionally constipated fool should know how to give back, right? 

“Roger that… so let me help you first, Ibanyan ~ ♪” A wide grin made its way to Hajime’s lips as he slowly started to take off Ibara’s coat, and the producer just knew he would be totally at mercy of those hands for the next minutes.

But the matching grin on his face was a sign that doing anything for Hajime Shino was a win-win situation, even if it meant dressing up as a cute fairy completely opposite of his image.

Branco’s long-sleeved white shirt was a good warm-up, very familiar to Ibara’s style and something Hajime would dress him in at their shared mornings. But when it was time for the baby blue frilly coat, his expression might have changed drastically, considering the bunny’s carefree giggle while covering the simple shirt with a layer of pure softness.

“Ehe~ ♪ Ibanyan, you are looking soooo good already! Really like a puffy cake ~ ♪” Hajime happily hopped behind him to tie up the strings, having Ibara’s body basically frozen in place. “How are you feeling ~”

“... like a “cake” is a way of saying it. If cakes do feel anything. I don’t mean to be. Dramatic. But…” He really didn’t want to sound mean and risk bothering Hajime, but the shorts were right in front of him already and the moment was coming closer. “... slightly humiliated.”

“... in the bad way or the good way…?” Hajime whispered from behind, and the blush growing on Ibara’s ears and cheeks was a silent and complete answer.

“... well. As long as you please remember my conditions.”

“I got you, Ibanyan ~ ♪ No pictures shown to anyone, even yourself. That’s an exclusive sight I’m fully enjoying by myself and myself only. And if you really want to stop, we have the safewords.” Hajime repeated their deal word by word, noticing Ibara really had covered the room’s mirror before he arrived.

“You do spoil me a lot and I’m grateful, Ibanyan ~ ♪” Hajime still spared a gentle kiss on his nape before moving to the next piece, causing shivers on the producer’s skin. 

“... happy Valentines in advance… enjoy your exclusive privileges, Jimenyan.” Ibara sighed deeply and winked, completely motivated again to continue after the reassurance and the pampering. How could he say no to wearing that completely out-of-character outfit when Jimenyan had accepted all his hyper specific terms for something so simple? 

Yes, maybe a safeword for a dressing up game would be a bit too far or unnecessary for most people, but if it was important to make Ibanyan comfortable, Hajime wouldn’t dream of denying or making fun of it. Sure, he really wanted to do that silly couple thing together, but… having his boyfriend assured that he would respect all of his safety measures in any situation was also important. 

He would do anything for Ibanyan too, after all.

“Waaah, Ibanyan looks so good! I wanna take you hoooome ~ ♪”

In a few minutes Ibara was turned into a Branco fairy from head to toe, under Hajime’s endeared gaze and rambles about how fluffy he was looking like that. Ibara managed to stand up, focusing on his bunny’s large smile to keep it cool.

“... Well, damn. This level of cuteness is really not for everyone… it suits you way better than me, but it seems you are happy with the result?! Mission complete?”

Hajime nodded enthusiastically, grabbing his phone to register the top secret image reserved to him and even getting Ibara to walk around and pose a little bit. He couldn’t avoid feeling awkward, but seeing his bunny enjoying himself with adorable red cheeks in the privacy of their date was undeniably worth it. 

And he would have his share soon too, so no room for complaints.

“Hmhm, ah, Jimenyan is really having fun, eating me with your eyes like I’m really a cake… ~ ♪ that’s a glorious sight for me, but don’t forget your side of the deal, right ~” Ibara smirked, pointing at the package waiting in the corner on the other side of the room. Hajime’s eyes followed him and his smile widened even more, tilting head cutely and doing a salute himself.

“Of course I didn’t forget ~ ♪ I just got a bit carried away admiring you… but now I’m in your hands, Ibanyan ~” Obediently sitting on the couch while Ibara opened the huge box, he couldn’t wait to have hands on him as well.

“... isn’t it kind of funny to celebrate Valentines wearing our Christmas outfits though?” Ibara mused while unbuttoning Hajime’s black shirt, earning a giggle from him. “Well, not like dates are sacred or anything in this economy, but… ~”

“But we can’t help it if we get the same topic for shuffle… ehe ~  it's kinda cute, I think, and the opposite themes make it even more charming ~ ♪ Now now, don’t tell me you had something to do with it so we could match?” He teased, watching Ibara taking out the Flambé shirt and coat from the box.

“Man… I wish I could say it and look that cool, but I’m physically unable to lie to you. It was just a fortunate coincidence ~ ♪ I deeply enjoyed your reactions, nonetheless. Now raise your arms, please.”

“You sure did… so much that you said you wanted to see me wearing the Flambé outfit and now we are here ~ ♪”

“Hmhm, I mentioned something along those lines… but it was you who proposed the swap… taking a small chance for a full negotiation, you are really growing every day, Jimenyan ~ ♪ Scaaaaary ~”

“Ehe… perhaps your strategic thinking is rubbing on me… but Ibanyan’s praise always makes me happy so I’m gonna take it ~”

The happy banter continued until Ibara moved behind him to plug the choker, noticing the shivers running through the bunny’s skin and letting out a light chuckle. Hajime sure wasn’t able to hide his excitement, bouncing legs and humming softly. The military hat and long coat were added smoothly, completing the ensemble with perfection.

“Soooo… how does it feel?” 

Faster than they realized, Hajime was standing in front of him fully dressed in black and red leather, contrasting with Ibara’s fluffy white and blue frills. The chirpy smile on Hajime's face was a good measure, but of course Ibara wanted to hear everything he had to say for himself.

“ Ehe ~ ♪ it feels really cool..! Eeeeven better than I imagined ~ ♪” Giggling, he opened arms and graciously spun in place, the coat fluttering around him. “And how do you think I look ~?”

“Oh well ~” Ibara smirked, adjusting his glasses and holding Hajime’s hand, shamelessly gazing at the harness he wanted to pull so badly and ogling the exposed tummy under the rugged shirt.

“You do look really cool and very naughty, speaking for myself. Maybe it would be shocking for others, but I think it suits this side of you very well… Different from me, someone who doesn't have a cute side at all and is just wearing a costume, wahaha! But your versatility is always admirable, Jimenyan! ♪”

“... is that so.. ~ ♪” Hajime hummed, he couldn’t disagree more about the last part, but there was no need to confront Ibara on that. Perhaps someday he would be able to accept his own soft side, but actions always spoke louder than words and if talking like that helped him to be more comfortable right now, let it be.

Ah, if only Ibara knew how that brand of performative resistance had its cuteness too! But in any case, Hajime wasn’t in a rush. He had all the time in the world to melt each one of those denial bricks just like chocolate tablets in low heat cooking. 

“Still, I think you look really sweet, I can’t help it! Is it bad ~?” He pouted playfully, kissing Ibara’s gloved hand and amused to hear his low chuckle in return.

“It’s one of your exclusive privileges too, so I’m rather flattered! It would be bad if I couldn’t complete the mission after going through it all ~ Oh, also… there is one thing missing, actually.”

Ibara whispered with the glimpse of a trickster in his eyes, obviously having something extra in mind and enjoying Hajime’s curiosity. Winking, he let go of the bunny’s hand to grab something in the box again, turning back to reveal a cute white teddy bear, identical to his shuffle’s concept.

“It’s not the day yet, but… Happy Valentines ~ ♪ It wouldn’t be complete without sweets, after all!”

“Ah, Ibanyan, you are the best! Thank you-wah?!” Hajime let out the cutest squeaky noise when he held the gift and realized it wasn’t a plushie, but a big chocolate bear covered in coconut flakes. His reaction brought the largest winning grin to Ibara’s face, absolutely pleased with his secret plan going well.

“The ingredients are from my store, but… ~ this one is an exclusive Jimenyan piece. Don’t eat it all at once, hm?”

“I… I’ll savor it… thank you, Ibanyan ~ you really spoil me too much..!” Hajime looked at the bear with kindness, taking in all the details and enjoying the wonderful smell coming from it. 

But part of him suddenly felt the weight of not being able to storm inside the Ra*bits practice room or his family home and scream look what my boyfriend gave me! I love him so much! 

And his expression must have really changed, considering the gentle headpat bringing him back from his inner musings.

“You deserve it, bunny. You know it, right?” Ibara’s soft smile had returned and Hajime knew his boyfriend must have thought he was once again overwhelmed with expensive and exclusive gifts suddenly coming his way. Usually that would be a correct assumption, but… for once, it was a welcoming misunderstanding in Hajime’s eyes.

“Hmhm. I’m really grateful, Ibanyan ~ I’ll take my time enjoying it, for sure...!” Hajime chose to smile instead of derailing the moment just because of a sudden wave of sadness that he believed wouldn’t last long. Even if it was happening more often, there would be another time to take care of it. 

For now, he preferred to move closer and indulge in the soft lips of his “totally not cute” snake fairy, carefully leaving the choco bear on the table for later.

“Happy Valentines… my sweetheart.” Hajime whispered without hesitation on his side, giving Ibara no time to react before pulling him back to the couch by the big ribbon, landing together as their swapped hats fell to the floor.

Valentine's day hadn't arrived yet but the warm up was meant to be nothing less than a delightful time.
