Sanosuke chuckled to himself. "A date, finally..." he murmured with barely repressed excitement as he combed his spiky hair with his fingers.

Saitou Hajime aka bastard psycho chief of police and him had been going steady for a couple of months now and it has only been a few weeks that the relationship took on a serious turn when Saitou had let everyone know that Sanosuke Sagara belonged to him when he had given Sano one hell of a torrid kiss right in the middle of the marketplace in broad daylight.

Sanosuke chortled as he remembered that day. When his euphoria had passed, he realized that his stunned friends, Kenshin and company, had witnessed that. Their hanging jaws and bulging eyes had made Saitou snicker and him laughing with a little blush on his cheeks.

And just yesterday Saitou had asked him out for dinner and some sightseeing at the annual festival downtown for the first time.

Singing now, Sano grinned at the round, hand carry mirror Megumi had given him a few weeks back when she'd noticed he'd been more self conscious than ever and chortled again, feeling ridiculous. "'Course I'm pretty. That's why Saitou likes me." he thought aloud and checked himself again for good measure before sitting down the tatami and putting on his shoes.

His shock's door slid open and Sano looked up, grinning again. "You're early, man."

Saitou shrugged and stepped in and slid the door closed behind him.

Sano stood up and gave a start when he realized Saitou wasn't wearing his police uniform. He had on a plain cotton shirt and black slacks.

"Nice..." Sano commented before he was engulfed in a tight hug and his mouth plundered like there was no tomorrow.

After awhile he realized they were now on the still laid-out futon... half naked.

"But, ... we were going out...?" Sano panted as Saitou nibbled his earlobe.

"Hn." Saitou murmured. "It's still to early, Sano..."

Sano gasped as Saitou latched on a nipple. "R-really...?"

"Yes." Saitou grinned, slyly, as he felt Sano shudder when he started to bite.

"Uhm... okay..." Sano moaned and pulled Saitou's head up for another kiss.

*****

"What's wrong?"

Sano blushed a deep red. "N-nothing..." he stuttered and pointed at a staged drama near the pier. "Let's go see that one, c'mon." he said very excitedly and Saitou tightened his grip on Sano's hand and followed.

The roosterhead flushed all the more. Saitou and him! Holding hands in public like real lovers! Fuck the Nine Gods but he can die happy right now!

"Hey, guys."

They both turned to see Kenshin and Kaoru walking up to them. The mistress of the Kamiya dojo looking, enviously, at their clasped hands.

"Where's Yahiko?" Sano asked to cover mixed embarrassment and pride.

"He's looking after the girls at the dojo." Kenshin replied. "Are you watching the staged drama?"

"Well, yeah." Sano nodded. "Why?"

"You should save it for last." Kaoru replied. "The story is very good. They will have another show before the sun sets."

"Oh, cool."

"Hn."

Sanosuke grinned. "Then, let's go to that special sake stall I saw earlier."

Saitou smirked, amused as Kaoru wagged a finger at Sano.

*****

Sanosuke willed himself not to giggle out loud as they sat down their seats to finally watch the staged drama. Saitou had given him one whole day to remember forever... eating out, publicly displaying affection, the works. Just like two lovers he'd often imagine spending their date out.

Saitou sat himself beside him then, glared at Kenshin, who seated himself on Sano's left. "Hn."

"Oh, it is a love story." Kaoru was saying. "I'm so glad we went here for last."

The play was indeed very romantic and Sano leaned his head on Saitou's shoulder, sighing as the lead actor defended his beloved's honor on stage.

Saitou moved so he can wrap an arm around Sano and the roosterhead nuzzled against him.

"Hn. Pretty."

Sano looked up, flushing. Then, he realized what Saitou was staring at.

The lovers on stage were now declaiming undying love for one another. And Saitou... had his golden eyes glued to the woman in geisha costume, obviously appreciating the brown-eyed girl.

Sano's giddiness over the wonderful day quickly dissipated. He pushed away from Saitou, chocolate eyes burning. "You asshole." he hissed.

Saitou looked at him, surprised. "What...?!"

Sano stood up, overturning his wooden chair and jabbed a fist at Saitou's chest. "Asshole, asshole, asshole." he spat, angrily and stalked off, fuming.

A few exclamations rose from the audience and the geisha actress stared at the handsome, young man stalking off the pier and smiled in sympathy.

Sano glanced at her and gave the surprised actress a death glare.

"Bitch."

*****

When Saitou got over the surprise, Sano had disappeared.

"What the hell just happened here?" Saitou growled and stalked after his roosterhead.

Kenshin and Kaoru stared at each other.

"Should we leave them alone?"

"Maybe, Saitou touched his bum." Kaoru offered and Kenshin sweatdropped.

*****

"That asshole..." Sano muttered, grabbing another one of Megumi's rice balls and stuffing it in his mouth. He'd thought of going to Katsu's but, Hajime would know he'd go there so he turned back and went over to Megumi's place instead."

The foxy doctor shook her head, rolling her eyes. Saitou would look at another rooster and Sanosuke gets all worked up like this. "Sanosuke, it may have been just a passing remark."

"A passing remark?" Sano demanded. "He was ogling that bitch like her boobs were something special and... and..." his voice trailed of in misery.

Megumi laid a gentle hand on Sano's arm. "What is it, Sanosuke?"

Sano turned sad chocolate eyes at her. "He... he's never called me that."

Megumi looked confused. "Called you what?"

Sano flushed. "He's never called me `pretty' before." he said in a tiny voice and Megumi almost laughed out loud. Was this what all that was about?

"Well..." Sano said when Megumi didn't say anything.

The foxy lady was eyeing his loose clothing with a glint in here eyes. "You want Saitou to call you pretty?"

Sano nodded, flushing.

Megumi smiled, foxily. "Then, you're just gonna have to do everything I tell you."

*****

It was almost midnight when Saitou felt Sano's presence walking towards his house.

The cop was cranky. He'd been around town looking for the damned ahou who was as complicated and unpredictable as a PMS-ing woman and came up with nothing.

He'd refused Kenshin and Kaoru's offer to help, almost killed Katsu and threatened to lock up Yahiko if he was hiding Sano in the dojo.

He'd been expecting a quiet dinner tonight and then, he'd pop the question... whether Sano would live with him or not.

But, the fucking ahou went into another one of his mood swings and disappeared all day. Now, he comes back probably asking for a sparring match!

Very testy now, Saitou stalked towards the front door and before Sano could knock, flung it open and... gaped in surprise.

Instead of Sanosuke, a very tall, very beautiful young woman stood on his doorstep wearing a gorgeous blue, flowered kimono. The silky hair was pulled back to a bun and rogue make-up kissed her cheeks and lips. The chocolate eyes were heavily lined making them bigger and even more tantalizing.

Wait just a goddamned minute here...!

Saitou grabbed Sanosuke inside, hissing. "What the fuck have you done to yourself, ahou?"

Sano gasped in surprise. He didn't think Saitou would recognize him.

Saitou slammed the door and hauled him inside, growling. He half-dragged, half-carried Sano with him until the poor roosterhead found himself dumped on the bed in Saitou's bedroom.

"'Jime..."

Saitou towered over him, amber eyes narrowed. "Explain this, ahou?" he finally ground out, glaring pointedly at Sano's get up.

Sano gulped in fright. Hold on a minute...!, his brain told him. I'm the one who should be angry at him. He's dumping for some girl with boobs like an orangutans!

Squaring his shoulders, Sano glared back at Saitou. "What's to explain? I'm gay, aren't I?"

The surprise was evident in Saitou's eyes. He wasn't expecting this. "What are you talking about?" he demanded, keeping anger in check.

Sano got up from the bed and faced Saitou. "This is what you want, right?" he yelled. "Pretty geishas with big boobs and fake faces. It's a wonder you chose me for a fuckbuddy over them..."

Sano gasped as Saitou slapped him, hard.

Silence.

Then, Sano touched his stinging cheek and stared, unbelievingly at Saitou. "...Y-you hit me..." he choked out.

Saitou blinked in surprise. "I didn't..."

Sano's eyes turned vicious. "You hit me, you fucking asshole!" he yelled and attacked Saitou, punching and kicking, wildly. He was crying, yelling and screaming in rage.

Saitou grabbed him, held him tightly but Sano managed to topple them both on bed.

"Bastard!" Sano shouted and grunted as Saitou fell on top of him. "Get off me. I hate you so much I can kill you..."

"Sano..."

"You can have all the pretty girls you want, you asshole..."

"Sano."

"... but, don't come crying back to me..."

"Sano!"

"... when they dump you for some younger cock, you old ass... mmpphh..."

Saitou's mouth plunged down on Sano's, cutting off his words. Sanosuke struggled for a moment but, damn was Saitou good and soon had his arms around the cop's neck, his hands on his hair, his mouth kissing back, hungrily.

After a very long while, Saitou pulled back to stare at Sano's flushed, guilty face. His cheek was starting to swell a little and Saitou cupped a hand on it, gently. "I'm sorry..." he murmurs.

Sano nodded. "I'm sorry..." he murmurs back and pulls Saitou close for another kiss.

The cop obliged but he knew sex wasn't the answer. Their first real fight could fuel more to come if it wasn't resolved so he pulled off, gently and held Sano's gaze.

"You don't like it...?" Sano said, chocolate eyes glazed.

"Sano." Saitou started. He had figured out what had gotten Sano so worked up. "That girl was nothing."

"Easy for you to say." Sano muttered, looking away.

Saitou snorted. "Ahou, we were watching a play. Her `prettiness' did not have any effect on me."

"Sure."

"Look at me, Sano."

He did and Saitou saw the pain and sadness in the chocolate eyes.

Saitou smirked. "I'm supposed to be the stoic one here."

Sano sighed. "You called her pretty the first time you saw her but you've never..."

"Never what?"

"Never mind."

"Really?" Saitou asked, amused.

Sano sighed again, sadly. "Forget it."

Saitou moved and grabbed a damp cloth they always kept by the bedside table (hmm, I wonder what for ^_^) and took Sano's face with the other hand.

"'Jime...?" Sano began, confused while Saitou wiped off all traces of makeup on his face, minding the swelling cheek. When the cop finished, he pulled back and studied Sano's face fondly.

"Hm... pretty." he murmured.

Sano flushed with pleasure. "'Jime..."

Saitou kissed his forehead. "Beautiful."

Kissed both Sano's eyelids. "Ravishing."

Kissed the tip of his nose. "Gorgeous."

Kissed both cheeks. "Charming."

Finally, kissed his lips. "To die for."

Sano sighed, happily and his arms around Saitou tightened. "Thanks, Hajime."

Saitou smirked. "And that's the last time you hear me say them." he teased.

Sano pushed at him, feigning anger. "Asshole." he said then, leaned up and kissed Saitou's nose. "Cute."

"Cute!?" Saitou demanded.

Sano chuckled. "That's all you get for being an asshole."

They laughed at this for awhile. Saitou smirking and Sano close to giggling.

A moment of silence as they stared at each other, drinking in the peace and satisfaction of holding each other.

"Sano..."

"Yap?"

Amber eyes turned dead serious. "Will you... would you want to live here... with me?"

Sano gaped at him. "What...?"

"I want you to live with me from now on."

"For real?"

"Yes."

"But, I can't cook."

Saitou smirked. "We can work things out."

Sano paused. "You mean it?"

Saitou nodded, solemnly. "Yes. Do you want to?"

The roosterhead grinned and grabbed him. "Sure as hell do, man. But, you know what a slob..."

"I know." Saitou cut him off. "But, I want you anyway."

Sano chuckled, hugging him tighter. "I love you, too, old man."

"Hn. One more thing."

"Hmm?"

"The next time you appear on my doorstep with that get up on… I'll spank your ass good."

Sano nodded, happily. "Whatever... mmmppphhh..."
