Kurodachi

Kurodachi is the slash ship between Kiyoshi Adachi and Yuichi Kurosawa from the Cherry Magic fandom.

Canon
Once Kiyoshi Adachi reaches his 30th birthday. There is a legend that if you’re still a virgin by the age of 30, you become a “wizard”. This becomes true, and on his birthday, Adachi gains the ability to hear the thoughts of other people by touching them. Afterwards at work, he takes the lift with his co-worker Yuichi Kurosawa. He overhears his thoughts and find Kurosawa is in love with him. Kurosawa has had a crush on Adachi for a long time, but Adachi is unaware, until he gains his power. Adachi is in disbelief, at first believing his power to be a hallucination, refusing to accept that someone like Kurosawa is crushing on him. He works late and is approached by Kurosawa. He gives him a drink and helps Adachi with his work. They work closely, and Adachi hear Kurosawa’s thoughts again. He likes how he smells and likes the mole on his neck. Adachi escapes to the bathroom, and realizes his power isn’t hallucination, but real. After work, it is cold outside, so Kurosawa gives him a scarf to keep him warm. They find out the trains aren’t running, so Kurosawa offers him a place to stay.

He stays at Adachi’s house, though a little nervous. He’s amazed at Kurosawa’s neat house. They bond over their shared passion for the ‘’Ragna Crimson’’ manga. He also pours him a bath and gives him pyjamas to wear. Adachi hears his thoughts multiple times and Kurosawa is clearly smitten and attracted towards Adachi. He has no idea how to react and pretends to be asleep. Though they both struggle to sleep at first.

The next morning Kurosawa makes a meal for him. Adachi never cooks, so Kurosawa jokily invites him to eat at his place everyday. He overhears many of his thoughts and finds them a little creepy. Back at work, Adachi’s work is questioned by his co-worker, however Kurosawa’s defends him. Adachi leaves work late, and again sees Kurosawa. He drops the files in a mess, by accident, and Kurosawa helps him organise it. They bid each other good night. Adachi realises that Kurosawa is a good person and runs after him and asks him to dinner.

They agree to have dinner together, but were interrupted by an co-employee, and were invited to get drinks at work instead. Kurosawa was excited for a date with Adachi, but Adachi gets worried he's given him the wrong idea, and escapes to the bathroom. Back at the table, they are playing King's Game, and Adachi and Kurosawa are dared to kiss. Instead of kissing him on the lips, Kurosawa kisses him on the forehead. Afterwards, they both leave the table, and talk outside. Kurosawa wasn't happy about kissing Adachi without proper consent, hence why they had a forehead kiss. Adachi admits he would have liked to kiss Kurosawa, and has never kissed before.
