Konoha had this tendency of lifting Sakuya off the ground, and then just hold like that in the air. Those who saw it divided into two, cringes or embarrassed. Sakuya, at the first times, was on the latter. It's rather sweet, the sudden intimacy and what seems to be spontaneous affection. But then Sakuya regrets to think that it was a sweet thing.

Overall, what Konoha did is blatantly annoying, like right now.

"Konoha."

"Mm?"

"Put me down."

"A minute."

"You said that three minutes ago."

"A minute more."

"Can't you see the egg is burning."

"Let it be."

"It's a waste. Put me down."

"Later."

"Ko.No.Ha."

"Oh, fine. There."

Konoha left with obvious sulking written over his face. Sakuya ignores it and flips the almost burning dinner. Really how many times has he been doing it for today? Sakuya can barely finish the house chores thanks to it. He really has no idea what is Konoha trying to do with the sudden lifting. If Konoha is using him as a living dumball, he should at least trying to swing around. But he didn't.

"Stop sulking."

"I'm not sulking."

"Then what's with that puckered mouth?"

"Nothing."

"What are you, grade schooler?"

"Who knows."

"Ah, geez."

They have dinner in silence again, just like the recent days ever since Konoha have that strange habit. He always ended up sulking when Sakuya complaints, exactly like right now, and went to bed while back-facing Sakuya. Sakuya let him be, but now it irks him as well.

"Just what exactly are you doing, lifting me off the ground whenever I'm busy dealing with the house chores?"

"......Nothing."

"Konoha."

"It's nothiiiiiiing, but you don't let me doing it anyway."

"It's because you're disturbing me."

"Well, that's not my intention."

"But that's exactly what you did. Now tell me or I won't talk to you."

"Weeeell, you look cute, okay??"

"......What?"

Konoha ruffles his hair in frustration. Even though Sakuya kinda used to him doing random things and ended up frustrated for having his thought distraught in the end, it's still somewhat amusing. And again, what Konoha said is rather surprising.

"Cute?"

"Well, that's what my coworker said."

"What did he said."

"It's like a game." Konoha sighs, "They said, seeing their girlfriends from that position enhanced the cuteness, and I got curious."

"Ah, I see. And then?"

"And... Well... I kinda... " Konoha's murmurs barely make any sense, "It's true.... You look sweet..."

Sakuya giggles hearing it. Seeing Konoha struggles to say sweet nothings is always refreshing. Sakuya can't help it and leans forward to land a kiss on Konoha's cheek.

Really, which one of them is the sweet ones now?
