Wow Haru is so glad he decided to speedrun this a lil bit because he would have a bit of a time being a Doesn't Fuck On The First Date Guy after that.

He kisses Haru on the cheek then nuzzles him some more. "Should we go to my place?" he says in the same low murmur.

"Yeah-huh."

Shibuya is right next to Shinjuku so it doesn't take them very long at all, and soon they're up the lift and into Yutaka's unnecessarily huge penthouse.

"...wow, the photos do not do your place justice. You could fit my whole apartment in here and still have room for full orchestra and a black box theater."

"It really is unnecessarily huge. Lots of room for me to be alone in. But I get to be alone with you, and that is much better."

Haru kisses him.

Yutaka kisses him back, and he can give a proper tour of his apartment tomorrow. "Hold on tight," he says, setting Haru's arms around his neck then grabbing Haru's legs and pulling them up and around his waist so he can carry Haru upstairs while kissing him.

Haru holds on, grinning nervously.

"You're so cute."

"I'm not even doing anything!"

"Your heart is beating fast and you're grinning and you're holding onto me and I just really love you."

"I'm, uh, a little apprehensive is all."

"Just trust me. I've got you."

"Okay."

Up the stairs they go, and Yutaka doesn't falter. Rather than stop at his bed, though, he goes straight into the ensuite bathroom and makes a beeline for the hot tub, before gently depositing him on the floor.

"We're taking a bath?" Haru blinks.

"The very first time we did it was after I killed the witch that killed you. We were both exhausted and grubby and kind of high on your near-death experience, and I said that I hoped you didn't mind that we went to bed grimy because I wouldn't be able to physically let go of you, and you said you wouldn't mind us showering together. We ended up doing a lot more than that.

"I can't give you all of your memories back, but maybe I can try to get a few of the new ones pretty close to them."

"Aha. Sounds good, carry on."

"But since I'm doing this all out of order anyway, I'd like to show you something first." He pulls Haru closer and kisses his lips, then his cheek, his jawline, the side of his neck, then back...

"- oh -"

Yutaka makes a small self-satisfied noise then kisses his way up to just behind Haru's ear and whispers, "I'll be yours forevermore. Nothing in the world will ever change that. We'll save Tokyo together, and then we'll keep going. Every witch, if we can. We'll end malaria, we'll end cancer, we'll figure out how to keep going without grief seeds. With you, I feel like I can do the impossible."

"Mm," squeaks Haru, leaning on him. He doesn't know what to do with his hands; they're fluttering around aimlessly, settling eventually on the edge of the tub.

He pulls away for a moment to take his shirt off and then Haru's, then he resumes kissing and guides Haru's right hand up to entangle Haru's fingers with his hair and positions himself behind Haru and starts undoing Haru's pants, trying to minimise the time his lips don't spend on Haru's skin.
