Work Text:
Alfred never considered himself a greedy man. (not since the cold war anyway..) He was quite the opposite! He was a kind, caring, hero of a citizen! So of course when his adoring Fiance was quieter and looked more lost in thought than usual, he just had to ask! Especially when that perfect pale skin of his husband-to-be was looking pinker and pinker as more small moments passed by. What could he possibly be thinking?! Alfred was dying to know.
They were sitting in their shared apartment, cuddling up on the couch watching one of Alfred’s oh so praised and precious shitty animes. He looked up from the cranny he wedged his head into between Kiku’s side and shoulder to stare at those deep eyes he adored so much. He found that Kiku had a spaced out look on his face, he wasn’t watching the show at all!!
“ hey keeks, watcha doin’...?? ” Alfred asked, sitting up a bit so his face was level with Kiku’s. He rests his chin on his shoulder as he maintains the soul-searching eye contact that he always holds.
Kiku jumps a bit at the sudden speech and movement coming from Alfred, he turns his head towards the lazily blinking face that rests on his shoulder, turning a tinge more red for a bit before he composes himself. “ Ah.. apologies. I’ve just had something on my mind I suppose.. “ Alfred’s eyebrows cock up in curiosity, wrapping his arms around Kiku’s shoulders to drag him in closer and close the small distance they had from each other even more.
“ Go on..? “ Alfred drags on expectantly. Kiku makes an almost humorous audible gulp before stammering out a reply. “ W-well.. I don’t think it’s exactly appropriate for the current situation. “ Alfred groans. “ C’mon babe, I have been exposed to so many naughty things hidden in your little head that a single normal human cannot handle. Hit me with your best shot! “ Alfred raises his voice with his last claim, being overly loud as usual.
Kiku’s face tinges red again for a second before he shakes his head. “ Fine.. I was just thinking of something I would like to try with you. “ Alfred stays silent for once in a while to quietly tell Kiku to carry on. Kiku sighs as he turns his head away from Alfred to seemingly gain courage to say what he’d like to. “ Do.. Do you know what ‘shibari’ is, Alfred..? “ Alfred processed the question from his lover before shaking his head ‘no’.
“ Ah.. well.. How do I explain this..? Shibari is a Japanese tradition that involves one's partner being tied with intricate rope designs. I find it extremely beautiful.. “ Kiku looked back to Alfred after he was done speaking, waiting for a response nervously. What Kiku didn’t expect to turn to was Alfred’s giant, gleaming smile.
“ Are you serious? So you’ve been all pervy and thinking about me all day?? Awesome! We should try it.. It’s basically just bondage right? We’ve tried that before it can’t be too different.. “ Alfred hummed, looking to the side as he blabbered on. “Uhm.. Alfred.. You know our ‘bondage’ was just me tying your wrists with your tie. That doesn’t quite amount to being tied up completely with rope.. Are you sure..? “ Alfred gulped, well.. If Kiku put it that way he guesses it was a bit different..
“ Totally dude! What kind of Fiance would I be if I didn't indulge in your pervy little kinks?? “ Alfred teasingly poked at his lover's cheek, smirking at Kiku’s sudden bashfulness. “ It’s so much more tame than you are making it out to be.. But since you are so sure I'll order the rope online and we will set a date for the night. I want you to be sure of this.. “ Alfred scoffed at Kiku’s weariness. He's the hero! He could handle anything!
“ Please, babe! I can handle any kinky thing you throw at me! You know me.. I always leave you happy, don't I? “ Alfred hummed, his voice dropped an octave at the end to dramatize his sentence. He made his fingers walk up Kiku’s chest in a playful manner, snickering to himself all the while. “ Alfred. I want to prioritize your safety and comfortability. “ Kiku scolded sternly.
“ Jeez! Alright! Yeah yeah… gosh you’re so corny! Do you have a crush on me or something?? “ Alfred joked, fluttering his blond eyelashes at Kiku.
“ Alfred.. “
“ What?? “
“ We’re engaged. “ Kiku facepalmed and sighed softly as Alfred let out a loud ‘So!?’.

“ Yo! Babe! there‘s a package for you outside!! “ Alfred shouted from the other side of their shared home to Kiku, who was folding and putting away laundry in their bedroom. Kiku,who wasn’t quite one for yelling, stood up and walked over to Alfred who was holding Kiku’s package in his hands and locking the front door.
“ Is this what I think it is?! “ Alfred beamed as he shook the cardboard box recklessly, listening for the sounds coming from inside it. “ Stop that..! I have a surprise in there for you. What if you break it? “ Kiku sped over to Alfred to take the box from his grasp and pinch his side in retaliation, causing Alfred to let out a small yelp in surprise.
“ Why don't I go unpack this in the bedroom while you make dinner? We can start getting ready after we are done eating since you are so clearly eager.. “ Kiku didn’t wait for a response before speeding down the hallway towards the bedroom and shutting the door behind him. Alfred sighed at the single chore Kiku gave him but got to work anyway, pulling out ingredients from the fridge and starting up some soup, rice and a salad. Ever since moving in with Kiku, he’s actually become a bit of a health nut compared to his old eating habits..
After about thirty minutes Kiku comes out of the bedroom, his face a bit pink. “ What’s so flustering? Is my surprise really that sexy??? “ Alfred asked while peeking over his shoulder at Kiku from the stove. “ Dinner is going to be done in about five minutes, can you set the table? “ Kiku hums as he nods, walking past Alfred to their cabinets that hold their silverware and plates. He pecks Alfred’s cheek with a kiss as he walks past again with the dinnerware.
Alfred brings over the salad bowl and sets it in the middle of their tiny two-person table. “ Bone on my teet! Enjoy, hot stuff! “ Alfred attempts to sound charismatic, but he just ends up sounding stupid for pronouncing something incredibly wrong in French. Kiku is stunned by his dumb sentence for a second before giggling adoringly.
“ ありがとう、愛しい人. “ Kiku smiles at Alfred before starting to eat his meal. “ Yeah dude.. ’Arigayto’ or whatever you said, babe! “
Kiku rolled his eyes with a smile on his face as he chewed on a bite of soup-soaked rice. God he loved this stupid man..

Alfred was washing the dirty dishes in the sink after dinner, humming to himself. Kiku comes up behind him to wrap his arms around Alfred’s waist, resting his chin on Alfred’s shoulder. “ Are you almost done? I would like to start getting ready soon.. “ Kiku mumbled into his shoulder, kissing his jaw teasingly. Alfred shivered at his Fiance’s actions and quickly dried off his hands, rushing to wrap his arm around Kiku’s neck despite him being shorter than Alfred. “ You know how to tease a guy, don’t you? “ Alfred huffed as Kiku tilted his chin up with his finger.
“ Hm.. no. It’s just easy with you. “ Alfred responded with a dramatic gasp, clutching his pearls. “ What's that supposed to mean?! “ Kiku giggled softly as he kissed Alfred’s cheek, which was met with a scoff. Alfred lets out a small squeak as Kiku gropes his thighs before stepping away and walking down the hallway towards the bedroom. “ Well, I'll stop being impatient and wait for you. Come into our bedroom when you are finished with the dishes.. “ Kiku hums, going out of Alfred’s vision as he makes his way past a certain part of the wall.
Alfred gulps, face a bit pink from the sudden grab. “ Oh boy. I’m in for a ride, aren’t I..? “
