-Talk about art with someone, nonthelss shirazu was proud 😉
“Hey.” Urie glances down at the cute boy sipping a gin and tonic at the bar. He’s mad that Shirazu left him for a dance off against some curvy pigtailed girl, so he’s going to try his luck talking to a cute boy. “Gin and tonics are my favorite, too.”
“Hi.” The boy glances up. His features are delicate, his hair emerald green. Urie’s heart constricts. “You go to the college around here too, right?”
“Yes.” Urie frowns. “I’ve never seen you. I’m Urie Kuki, majoring in art.”
“Oooh.” Their eyes sparkle. “I’m M – Mutsuki Tooru, majoring in Japanese Literature.”
“Really? There’s a lot of amazing art based on Japanese literature.” Urie sits down besides Mutuski.
“Isn’t there? It’s inspiring.” Mutsuki sips his drink.
They talk for an hour, but Urie is having a hard time focusing. “Do you want to leave here? We can take a walk.”
Mutsuki nods eagerly. “I just came because my friend Saiko dragged me here.”
“My roommate dragged me.” Urie laughs.
They spend the night talking about literature and the arts, the nuances and differences between the two. Urie’s favorite artist (Dali). Mutsuki’s favorite type of literature (haiku). Their lack of family. Their dreams for the future.
“Wait, is that the sunrise?” Mutsuki points ahead to where the sky is pale gray instead of black.
Urie squints. “Well fuck.”
“It’s okay. It was fun.” Mutsuki giggles, and Urie cherishes the sweet sound.
“I can walk you home if you need to sleep.”
“Okay.” Mutsuki smiles again. They stop along the way at :Re cafe, where Urie orders them both coffees.
When Urie finally enters his room with Shirazu, he finds his roommate awake, arms crosses, with a big grin on his face.
“What were you up to last night, without a word?” he teases.
“Talking.” Urie blushes as he places the coffee cup on a nightstand besides his bed. “With someone I met. About art mostly.”
“Nothing else?” Shirazu is stunned.
“Well, yeah?” Urie climbs into bed. “God, I’m tired.”
“You better date this person.” Shirazu points at him. “I’m proud of you, Urie Kuki, the man who leaves a nightclub to talk all night about art.”
