Ayase's POV

Kanou was going on a business trip for several days at the most. He was taking one of the Kuba twins, Misaso. To be honest I kind of felt bad for Kuba. Everybody knew that Kanou could be completely unreasonable most of the time and was a complete hot-head. He was pretty confident and he doesn't put up with bull.

"Ayase," Kanou called my name. I looked up and saw that he was watching me with his dark brown eyes. He's trying to read my mind, wanting to see what I'm thinking about through my bright eyes. I quickly averted my thoughts, not wanting him to enter my head, enter my body. Believe me he does that a lot already.

"Yes Kanou?" I asked timidly, looking at his face but not making eye contact. He put his large hand under my chin and moved his face closer to mine. I closed my eyes and took it, seeing how he was about to leave and not see me for days and days on end. Because to Kanou, apparently, a day without Ayase is like a year without happiness. I have to secretly roll my eyes at the thought. The man was such a baby.

"I'm going to miss you so much. Make sure you call me every day at least every other hour. And make sure that you keep your phone with you at all times so I can contact you without a problem." Just then there was a knock at the apartment door. Kanou pulled back with a growl and barked at the person to come in.

"Sir, the car is ready for you," the oldest twin, Homare Kuba, announced. He didn't even bat an eye when Kanou shot him an angry glare for interrupting us. Kanou turned around to grab his bag and I quickly shot Homare a huge grin. His cool composure cracked and he smiled back, sticking his tongue out at me. I tried to stifle a giggle but, a small squeak coming from my mouth. Kanou turned around and Homare's smile quickly vanished before Kanou could see it.

Over the past four years that I've been with Kanou, Homare and I grew a very close bond with one another. Although when Homare confessed to me about his feelings was rather awkward, we kind of grew past that and actually became really good friends. Of course this friendship of ours has to be kept in the dark; for fear that Kanou will find out and immediately jump to ridiculous conclusions.

I was more than excited that not only was Kanou going to leave Homare with me, but everything we do is totally not going to be discovered by him, meaning I get to…

Just then I felt Kanou pulling me into a tight embrace. I noticed with much satisfaction that I indeed have grown taller over the years, finally reaching to the top of his shoulders with my blonde head. He hugged me tight, pulling away slightly, giving him enough room to dip his mouth closer to mines again, and kissing me gently yet eagerly. I looked over his shoulder and barely caught the slight eye roll Homare gave from the touching scene.

Kanou pulled away. "I'll see you in a few days okay," he said, ruffling my hair.

When Kanou stopped at the door he leaned in next to Homare's ear and whispered very low. I was too far away to hear it but by the sudden stiffness that ran down my friends back I could tell it was a threat.

When Kanou was gone, Homare closed the front door and looked at me. His face broke into a full on grin and soon after I was smiling as well. it didn't take much longer for him to finally get out his work clothes and into his lounge wear that was stashed in the coat closet by the door. Soon we were both on the couch, watching SpongeBob and eating some snacks.

"Oi," I said suddenly after remembering something. "What did Kanou-san say to you?"

Homare rolled his eyes. "The usual: 'Touch MY Ayase-kun and you die…' BLAH BLAH BLAH," Homare snorted, taking a drink from his soda can. "When are you going to leave him Yukiya?" he put down his can and looked at me, dark blue eyes meeting bright blue ones. "I mean, don't you think you had enough? It's not like you can't get away from him…" he trailed off.

Suddenly the doorbell ranged. I could tell it wasn't Kanou, so I wondered who it could be. Homare went to go answer it, telling me to stay in the living room just in case.

I heard Homare ask who it was, then after a moment the door flew open. Before I could react, a girl ran towards me, throwing her entire body at me and knocking me on my back. I looked up and found myself staring into wide bright grey eyes I knew so well. I smiled and brought my lips up to the girl.

Finally my lover was heree...
