《Flashback {Toruka}》Flashback 21

His bare feet touched the floor lightly. Early in the morning he rose quietly. He ran his fingers through his fluffy black hair, taking in the salty breeze invading from the windows. He grabbed his phone and slipped his feet in his lover's comfortable slippers. Taka walked down the soft sand, hugging the rising sun warmly. He smiled at the clear blue sky, trying to form the shapes of the clouds. He stepped further and further, stopping only to take in the vast ocean. He raised his hands in front of him, taking photos of the mighty scene in front of him. He unconsciously compared the sea of people he performed for just the previous day to that in front of him. "A change of routine is good once in a while" he muttered, jumping back with a giggle as the sea waves tickled his toes.
A few meters away, stood the leader of ONE OK ROCK, silently taking photos of his beloved lover. He smiled at his screen while scrolling through the photos, finally deciding to post one of them, captionig it mysteriously, not to reveal too much for his fans. "day off!! So nice!!" Was sufficient enough to express his joy. Which in reality, referred to the time he'll spend alone with his dearest vocalist. It started out as a simple ship their fans built, yet over the years they spent together, their friendship crossed the borders, into the lands of romantic affection. They haven't realized it before they felt their lips draw together, and hands unconsciously reach out towards one another. He slipped his phone in his pocket and worked towards the dark haired man in front of him, slowly wrapping his arms around him. "Why didn't you wake me up?" He asked gently, planting a soft kiss on the crook of Taka's neck. "You seemed to have a good dream, you were smiling" Taka answered simply, letting his hand hold his lover's arm loosely. "That's because I was dreaming about you" Toru whispered, visibly seeing the red rise on his man's features.

"We can finally spend some time alone" Taka sighed in relief, placing his head right under his partner's chin, after closing his eyes. The blonde hummed in response, his brown eyes stretching upon the horizon. It was like his love for Taka, it was endless and bright then whenever it darkens a bit, a new sun colours it again. "To think that you're the same guy who repeated homo janai twice back in the day" Taka smirked, stroking his precious other's cheek fondly. "Things change you know, but who can resist your charm anyway?" Toru teased. "Cheesy" the other countered, letting out a little giggle that melted Toru's heart.
Takahiro took out his phone again, scrolling through his Instagram feed slowly. He then spotted a recent post, a photo of his own self. "Toru what's this?..." he asked with a mutter, staring at the picture intently. "Delete it" he suddenly ordered, looking back at Toru. "When will you stop sneaking photos of me!" He retorted, trying to grab Toru's phone. "Never" the younger sniggered, sticking out his tongue. "If you don't, I will" Taka muttered angrily standing on his tip toes to reach the phone Taka raised in the air. "Not before you catch me" Toru announced before setting off, leaving a dumbfounded Taka behind him.
It wasn't long before Taka started running, trying to catch up with Toru. However, his legs gave out as he tumbled from the oversized shoes he was wearing, he was trying to get up when a wave washed all over him. The guitarist stopped in a distance after realizing that his lover's shouts ceased to a stop. He looked behind him and found him dripping wet from head to toe shivering like a kitten that has fallen into a tub. A smile made its way to his face as he swiped the few tears that formed in Taka's eyes. "Are you hurt?" He asked tenderly, adjusting Taka's hair. The latter just shook his head, tremors running all over his body. Then Toru pulled him to his own self, wrapping the thin body tightly. "Better?" He inquired, hugging Taka closer, who just nodded in response. "Let's get inside shall we? I'll make you some hot chocolate" he offered, initializing a walk, Taka still held in his arms. "You won't delete the post?" He asked one more time, only to be rejected again.

"It's been 5 years already" the present Toru mentioned lightly, scrolling past the post that still lived on his feed. "Mhm" Taka replied, snuggling closer to his boyfriend in Toru's cozy apartment in Tokyo. They sat close together, scrolling through each other's feeds, reviving memories with smiles adorning their lips.
