Coconut ice cream　Higuruma looks up at the hotel in front of him.
　Beyond the grandiose gate is a fountain and many large trees.

　After staring up, he turns to Nanami and says.

"It's an amazing place, isn't it"
"Yes, it's amazing."

　The two had just finished a job in a town far from their hometown.
　They step into today's lodge, where they had reservations.

　The weather is autumnal, with the sun a little more subdued.
　Both of them were dressed in suits because they had to work.

　Nanami is checking in at the front desk and calls Higuruma, who is waiting a short distance away, and asks him.

"We have a choice of a welcome drink or a welcome sweet. Which would you prefer"
"Well...either one is fine."
"Okay, then...I'll have the sweets."

　Nanami tells the front desk, and they head for the elevator.
　Inside the box, Higuruma asks.

"This hotel looks expensive...but can you always stay in a place like this on business"
"This is a property owned by Gojo-san. He wants the two of they to take a good rest once in a while."
"Ah, so that's how it is."

　We get off the elevator, walk down the hallway, and open the door to the room indicated by the room key in my hand, chatting with each other.
　The room is a suite, and it seems too large for the two of they.

　Higuruma puts his luggage on the table against the wall and takes a seat on the sofa.
　Nanami stands in front of a nearby mirror and pulls out a lipstick from him jacket.
　He had bought it at the airport when he arrived here.

　He open the package, opens the lid, and begins to apply the lipstick.
　The bright red color adorned Nanami's lips.

　Nanami turns to the sofa, him beauty bewitching.
　Higuruma raises his eyebrows and says.

"I always thought you had a neat face... but you are a beauty."

　With a giggle, Nanami approaches Higuruma on the sofa and drops a kiss on his forehead.
　Lipstick blossoms on Higuruma's skin.

　Nanami continues to draw a red flower of lipstick across him lips.
　Higuruma yelps.

"Wait...wait...Nanami..."
"No, I won't wait."

　Laughing, Nanami resumes the rain of kisses.

　He kisses him neck, then him chest, then him cheek once more... and when Nanami looks up, notices Higuruma's face relaxing, and Nanami raises the edge of his mouth again.
　In a small voice, Higuruma complains.

"Nanami...stop..."
"Hiromi-san."

　Calling the name of the man he loves, he kisses him on the cheek.
　A new lipstick is drawn, and Higuruma tries to answer, but he can no longer speak.

　Finally, as his lips fall on the distinctive eagle nose, the door chime rings.
　A welcome dessert, it seems, has arrived.

　Nanami gently caressed Higuruma's dazed, drooling face, wiped him lipstick with the back of him hand, and walked to the front door.
