"sweetheart?"

"mm?"

"don't you think it's time to hire someone else, too?" kento asked, as he run his fingers through your hair.

"mm"

"are you even listening to me?"

"yeah..."

"just bored to talk" you mumbled.

he chuckled, as he held you closer.

you were laying on his chest, while he laid on your bed.

you were exhausted to go out, so you invited him over to spend your days off in each other's company.

before taking a break, you had prepared desserts for days, leaving yuji to bake and decorate them.

he still wanted to work on his skills, so you decided to leave the bakery open for him, because you couldn't say no to the puppy dog eyes he gave you.

every once in a while, you were walking downstairs to check if everything was okay. but the moment you were ready to step in to help the boy, kento was stopping you and pushing you upstairs to your house again.

"ken...?"

"hm?"

"you're right... i should hire someone else, too..."

"more than one"

"yeah..."

"yuji is gonna move to the kitchen with me, so i need two at the counter..."

"yuji won't quit?"

"he doesn't want to. i told him it's gonna be hard with his studies, but he insisted"

"i see..."

"i'm so tired..."

he hands traveled up to your shoulders, gently massaging them. you sighed, as you buried your face further in his chest.

your whole body relaxed against his, and kento soon heard the sound of your soft breathing in his ears.

he smiled softly, bringing your hand to his lips and kissing your knuckles;

"sweet dreams, my love"
