"I love you too," Nanami says, "I always will."

It's not the right moment. He leans his forehead against Yu's and smiles, ever so softly. The pod comes to a halt, and Nanami pulls away and stands up.

incautiously

Haibara follows him out of the pod once it stops, stays close to him, hand catching Nanami's to hold as they walk toward the gardens he'd mentioned.

From:

Nanami entwines his fingers with Haibara's, permitting himself the more intimate way of holding hands. They're in an entirely different section of Tides, but the city continues to be stunning. The gardens are wonderful and beautiful. The ocean is visible through the barrier around Tides. It seems so delicate a thing, yet it's clearly trustworthy with the lives of everyone in Tides.

Nanami finds a bench for them to sit on since they didn't bring a blanket. "This was a wonderful idea."

From:

incautiously

"We should definitely take a day and explore properly." He's still got his fingers entwined with Nanami as they're sitting, gaze focusing on the scenery.

"I see why you love it here so much."

From:

"Absolutely. I've never finished exploring Tides. Even the places I've been to before, I've only scratched the surface, I know. There's so much and so much more." He knows Tokyo well and had forever to get to know it. Coming to a new city he never even had a chance to hear of before? It's remarkable.

He glances over at Haibara. "It's remarkable."

From:

incautiously

"It's beautiful here." Maybe in time they can make this their primary residence. Haibara's watching Nanami out of the corner of his eye.

"I like seeing you like this." Relaxed and comfortable in a way he really isn't in Satori Hills.

From:

"It is. Even the most mundane aspects of Tides is beautiful. A whole city that is itself a work of art." It makes sense given the focus of the school here. Nanami isn't an artist himself, but he appreciates it. He enjoys living his life surrounded by beauty. Enough of it is surrounded by horrors and terrors. Back home, at least, it was. His apartment was a safe space from that, but Tides... Tides is that all on its own.

He blinks at Haibara's statement, surprised. "Is it that noticeable?" Nanami asks. He hopes not everyone sees that.

From:

incautiously

"I pay closer attention than most." And he's not as used to adult Nanami as the rest might be, either.

"So, no not really, I don't think."

Nanami nods and rubs his thumb across the back of Haibara's hand. He's glad it isn't so obvious to everyone. They all chose to live in Epiphany, and Nanami chose to as well. It's for their sake, but he doesn't want them to feel bad about that.

"Good, that's good. Not everyone sees through me like you do."

From:

incautiously

"They won't notice." It's what they're used to, after all

From:

adherencetofacts

It's what they're used to. It's what Nanami is used to. What he was like generally the whole month before Haibara showed up too. Haibara's changed everything. All of it is more bearable with him here.

"It's my first time watching the sun set through the water."

From:

incautiously

"I'm glad we're seeing it together then." Haibara murmurs, thumb lightly rubbing over the back of Nanami's hand.

From:

In a wild act, Nanami lets go of Haibara's hand to wrap his arm around his shoulder and pull Haibara that little bit closer. "Me too. I want to have a lot of firsts together."

From:

incautiously

Haibara just leans into him, rests his head against Nanami's shoulder for a moment before shifting up just enough to press a kiss to his jaw before settling back against his side. "We will."

They watch the sun go down before returning to their hotel room. Nanami is glad he unpacked before they left the room, though he feels dusty and grimy from travel now that he's settled and eaten. He turns the water on for a shower and starts removing his clothes to set them aside for laundering.

"Thought we could get nice and clean first."

From:

incautiously

Haibara hasn't even started undressing, just leaning against the sink, gaze on Nanami as he undresses, his lips quirking slightly. "I'll never argue over showering with you."

From:

Nanami appreciates that his tie is off as he unbuttons his shirt. Though they are in the hotel and he's getting ready to shower, it takes his mind a moment to catch up with that look and tone. He shakes his head.

"It feels like you've been looking at me like that all evening."

From:

incautiously

"Kento, I look at you like this because you're the most attractive person I've ever met." His voice is soft, Haibara pulling his shirt off.

"Because I love you and just being close to you is everything I could ever want." Arms slide around him once the shirt is off, Haibara's lips curving into a soft smile.

From:

He adds the shirt to the hamper and cannot help shaking his head a little, but he's smiling a little. Nanami takes a moment to hold Haibara close, even as the water runs and heats up. He's so glad, every day, that Yu is here. That they get to be together.

"Everyone who sees us can know that," Nanami says, without much chiding. Not really. "If they knew how to read me, they'd see it there too."

From:

incautiously

"Maybe I like being the only one who gets to know you like that." His hands slide up Nanami's back, Haibara pressing a kiss to his jawline, the side of his neck, the corner of his mouth.

"The only one who can make you blush like we're both still sixteen."

From:

adherencetofacts

While Nanami appreciates the privacy, he thinks everyone ought to know it goes both ways. It isn't only that Haibara is smitten with Nanami and thinks he's attractive. Nanami's just as smitten with him, considers him just as attractive, and couldn't be happier with him here. Some people might have a clue, Gojo and Geto, but most... don't.

"Lord, you probably make me blush more than I did at sixteen," Nanami moans. He kisses Haibara though, content to do everything now they're together in private.

From:

incautiously

"You'll get used to it again." There's a soft laugh behind the words, once the kiss ends. "You're just out of practice." There's another kiss before he finishes undressing, his mouth finding a spot to bite lightly on Nanami's shoulder, sucking a mark there.

"I'm trying to ease you into things outside the privacy of our home."

From:

adherencetofacts

Nanami is definitely out of practice. He's grown used to other habits, such as things never starting unless at someone's home. There's no reason to kiss in public with friends with benefit. They're just friends when they're out. "Today is easing?" he asks, teasing.

He removes the rest of his clothes. The water has to be warm by now. He picks Haibara up by his waist and carries him into the shower.

From:

incautiously

"I only kissed you once in public." Haibara reminds him quietly, leaning to kiss him again once he's been picked up, arms looping around Nanami's neck.

"And it wasn't a full kiss, either."

From:

adherencetofacts

Nanami closes the door to the shower and enjoys the water pouring down on them from above. It feels good. He meant it about getting clean, but he's taking some time to kiss Haibara back, to talk, to relax. "One very public kiss in a restaurant," Nanami says, "I felt the eyes on us."

Surely a kiss on the street was less notable. He kisses Haibara fully now, pressing his tongue into Yu's mouth and holding him tight against him. No shyness here.
