A/N: I’ve set out to write a little sappy drabble for all of my favorite pairings. This story arc is called ‘Buckets of Sap,’ and this is the second one. Thanks to Rei Tomiyama, beta-reader extraordinaire, for her comments and suggestions!

BUCKET #2

“Can’t you just watch this movie sitting on the couch?” Mikagami groaned from his place in the armchair. Recca frowned and clambered into his lap.

“No,” he answered defiantly, snuggling back against Mikagami’s chest. Mikagami rolled his blue eyes and turned the VCR on, flicking the remote over to the couch as soon as he was done with it. As the opening credits rolled, Recca turned himself around until he was facing inward, arms crushed against Mikagami’s shirt and face pillowed on the other’s shoulder. Mikagami gave him a questioning glance, but let it go.

It was only after the first third of the movie had passed without Recca turning around at all that Mikagami couldn’t hold his curiosity back any more. “Recca...” he started. The flame wielder played absently with a strand of silver hair draped casually over his shoulder.

“Yeah?”

“Can you even see the movie like that?” Recca shrugged.

“No...” Mikagami frowned a little.

“I thought...” he stopped when Recca looked up at him with searching green eyes.

“Do you mind?” he asked, snuggling further into Mikagami’s embrace. The ensui master considered a moment, then sighed and put his arms around Recca’s slight form.

“Of course not.” Recca gave him a blinding smile and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

“Thanks Miki,” he murmured, tucking his face against the other boy’s neck. Mikagami smiled and closed his eyes.

“You’re welcome...” The sound of the TV drifted through the room like a lullaby, weaving a spell of stillness over the two. It was a rare afternoon when they could just be together like this...
