FILL: SWAG 2016
(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)People ask Koushi how it feels, the day he gets married, the day after, and he gives them the same answer with he same cheeky grin.
He feels a little heavier. Specifically, on his left ring finger.
Marrying Daichi is the most important thing he's ever done in his life and simultaneously the most ordinary, inconsequential thing ever.
They've been married long before they ever officiated it with a ceremony, he thinks. They've been equated to an old married couple ever since they were teenagers in high school, still trying to sort their feelings out from their friendship. The teasing has only gotten worse as they've gotten older and Koushi's never minded it, knows that Daichi hasn't either.
It's difficult to pinpoint a date, a time, a moment that turned their relationship on its head. It's the little things, he thinks. Their hands, steady on each other's backs, holding each other up the way that together, they held the rest of the team up. The comfortable silences between them, content in each other's presence. The unwavering confidence in each other, happy to follow each other to the ends of the earth, if that's what was required of them.
He lies in bed with his husband, tracing over the gold band on Daichi's finger with his index, and wonders if this marriage began when they first moved in together. He thinks of the first few nights, when most of their stuff was still packed in boxes and they didn't even care because they each other and they had a place to themselves, and that's all that mattered at that moment in time. He thinks of the first time they set their bed up, lying in it together, a sense of ownership and satisfaction that they've never felt when they've slept over in each other's beds in the past. This one belonged to them, and it made all the difference in the world.
They're made of memories, of little bits and pieces of each other woven in amongst themselves, until they can't tell them apart. They're entwined so firmly that it's perfectly normal to think of them as together, as two parts of one whole, and strange to think of them apart from each other. To think that there were thirteen years of Koushi's life where he didn't even know the name Sawamura Daichi feels strange and wrong, like surely he came into the world knowing Daichi, knowing that they were meant for each other, because they fit together so perfectly, so easily that it feels as if they were shaped purely to accommodate each other. It's clear in their bodies, the way they curl against each other as close as possible, it's their in their personalities, in their sense of humour. Perhaps they're the one soul, broken in two, trying to weave itself back together again, and Koushi buries himself in Daichi's strong, familiar arms as deep as he can go, holding Daichi like he never plans on letting go.
Perhaps he won't, he thinks to himself with a smile hidden against Daichi's neck. Daichi is his husband, after all.
