Peace was shouting in Kanou's apartment. Sunlight passed through the window hitting the new-polished tiled-floor making its glint irritating to the eyes. But that didn't matter tot he blonde who's now busy preparing the breakfast he and Kanou will soon to share. He was smiling and humming the tune of Romance Way.
The table was now set. Time to wake Kanou-san and tell him about that. He thought with a smile.
He slowly opened the door. He tucked his head first and saw his lover, sleeping hapf-naked but he swore that nothing good happened last night. In fact, he didn't know what time Kanou arrived last night since he went to bed alone.
Ayase tiptoed across the room and silently climbed the bed. He heard his low snores everytime his chest lowered. Ayase smiled, tracing Kanou's sleeping form. His small hand gave his muscle a slight grip and was amazed on its masculinity. His gaze went back to his broad chest; the only place in the world where he can sleep comfortably. Next to the chest, he spotted his well-formed six-pack abs. His gaze didn't go lower but his peripheral view did the work. That bulge inside his boxer shorts was the long big rod that always makes him feel like he's floating in the universe.
The blonde blushed and before he forget his true motive in going in the bedroom, he cupped the taller man's face with his small hands and kissed him on the lips before he said in a hushed voice, "Good morning, Kanou-san." He kissed him again when he received no respond from him. "Kanou-san,it's time to wake up. Breakfast's ready. Com'n, wake up already." He gently shook him.
"Mmm... later, Yukiya. I need some more rest." He replied sleepily and turned to other direction.
But Ayase didn't coaxing him. He tickled his ear with his hair which he shouldn't have done because...
"Damn it!" He growled, making Ayase jump in shock. "Can't you understand that I'm tired? I said later, didn't I? You bullshit, go eat alone!" And he went back to sleep, leaving Ayase trembling so much.
"O-okay. If that's what you want." He smiled at Kanou's back before he went out of the bedroom and ate alone in the kitchen. He's still very shocked about what happened a while ago. Maybe Kanou-san was just really tired. Oh~ I'm such a useless home manager. He sighed before he ate a half-a-spoon of rice. He can't eat properly since his conscience won't allow him. He really was thinking that it's his fault Kanou got very angry. Indeed he was.
Maybe he was spacing out for quite a long time now because Kanou appeared in the living room, water shower has evidently touched his hair and he's already wearing his gray suit that looked good with his black necktie. There was something on his collar that irritates the blonde's eyes. He wanted to check it but Kanou was in total bad mood today.
It's because of me that Kanou-san won't be able to have a good performance in his work. I made him mad.
"Ugh, Kanou-san," he stood up, panicking. "Do you want to eat now? I'll-"
"No." His voice was dead serious and scary. "After you interfered my sleep? Don't show me how stupid you are, will you Ayase Yukiya?" Calling him in his full name really meant that he's very mad. "You know what time I went home? Almost three in the morning. And while you are here doing nothing, I was at my office working my ass." His voice echoed in the walls of the house.
Ayase was taken aback. He's very angry. How should he ease Kanou's anger? What is he going to- Oh yeah, about the thing he was yearning to spill to him.
He smiled and said, "Kanou-san, I have something to-" But the door slammed hard before he could at least finish his satement halfway. "Or maybe later..." he continued, almost whispering.
Ayase kept on doing the household chores but the house was not that dirty and there were no more chores left to work on. It would be so silly of him if he disarrange everything and clean it again. But he hated it if he hears the tickling of the clock, the droplets of watet from the faucet, the chirping of the birds outside their not-so-spacious house and the noise that's coming from some of the vehicles owned by their neighbors who owned one. All of them reminded him of being alone- the reality he keeps on ignoring.
He reached for the remote that was lying still on the center table. He pointed it on the flatscreen TV and pressed the red button with a sign "on/off."
A baby inside a crib, crying appeared in the 21" Tv. Then a hand put a babybottle in the baby's mouth and carried him in the air. The hand was owned by the "father." He was smiling at the baby as he hungrily suck on his milk. The "mother" appeared, smiling at her husband and giving her baby a smack on his forehead.
"Thank you for giving him to me. Thank you because now I have a child. He is the greatest gift God has given to me besides you." he saide before kissing his wife.
The blonde can't help smiling while feeling his tummy. "Will Kanou-san also say something like that?"
And while you are here doing nothing, I was at my office, working my ass! He heard Kanou's voice yelling at him angrily.
"I have to do something for him." He looked at the clock. The short hand was pointing at almost 10 and the long hand was pointing in the middle of the numbers 9 and 10. "It's almost lunch time, I guess if I start cooking now, I'll end up just enough time for me to change clothes and travel to his company." He nodded, giving himself an encouragement.
He started heating the pan and grab everything in the fridge that won't make him puke since it's very annoying and it felt gross seeing the things you have eaten turn to something that's... yucky!
After cookingthe dishes and preparing the sandwiches, he ran to the bedroom and changed his shorts to pants and also decided to change his shirt.
After the ride on the cab, Ayase stopped at the 60-floor building. He stepped by the floor and the glass doors slipped automatically on each side, then he stepped in. The guard greeted him with a smile on his face. Surely he knew him and the relationship he had with the company's boss.
Ayase bowed and smiled in return, before he strolled to the elevator where more kind employees greeted him.
"Ohayo, Kuba-san." He lively greeted the man who opened the door after reaching the highest storey of the building.
"A-Ayase-san." The older of the twins flustered upon seeing the small man. Didn't expect that he'll see the person who made his heart thump as if it's going to burst out of his ribcage.
"Is Kanou-san here?" he reluctantly meet with his eyes.
That same question again? Why does everytime he comes in the office, he's always looking for KANOU-SAN? Doesn't he know that Kuba can die with just a simple smile from him? Couldn't he see how much Kuba loves him?
"Kuba-san, is something the matter?" He asked when he saw Homare turned his hands into aa ball.
"N-no. The- the boss is inside.. with some client."
Ayase chuckled."Will you let me through?"
Just then, the raven realized that he's blocking the way. So set aside he did. Ayase was waiting patiently on the cotton-soft couch. Eyes landed on the three Bench paperbags. Why three? That's it! He also made lunch for the two Kubas.
"Uhm, Kuba-san?" He shyly talked to the older Kuba.
"Yes?" The raven excitedly looked up from the papers to the beautiful lad owning that lullaby-like voice. He just wished that the blonde can't detect the excitement he felt upon hearing him calling his name. Somehow, his name sounded beautiful when it comes from this boy's mouth.
"Please, accept this." Ayase, with a slight blush, showed Kuba a paperbag with the brand of Bench.
Oh, this is really heaven. Ayase handling him something. There's nothing he can wish more than receiving whatever from Ayase.
Kuba accepted the bag. "T-Thank you."
"Welcome. Hope you like the bento. And I shall also give this to Misao-san," he bowed as he turned his heels to Misao who was frowning t the papers on the desk.
"-san? Ao-san? Misao-san?"
At last, after several calls, Misao looked at him. "A-Ayase-san." He stood up from his chair. "G-gomen... I was so busy analyzing the papers. Somehow, something is wrong with them why I can't understand them." He scratched his head and slowly went back to sit. He again started to switch the papers when he remembered that Ayase was still standing beside him.
"Yes, Ayase-san?"
"U-uhm... sorry to bother. I-I would like to give th-this bento?" he grinned as he showed the man the paperbag.
"B-bento?" He accepted it like a child given a lollipop. He opened the bento box and was amazed by how Ayase arranged the foods. They looked delicioud that he wanted to eat them now, but he stopped himself and reluctantly covered it again and put it back in the bag.
"Ayase-san, thank you very much!" He stood up and unknowingly hugged Ayase. At least he doesn't feel anything towards this boy that hugging him didn't have a malice. But then he could sense a dark aura nearby. When he opened his eyes, he saw his twin with that devious glare.
He didn't understand it but his initiative tells him to stop hugging Ayase.
"Thank you again, Ayase-san." He smiled at the boy.
Ayase spotted a bondpaper under Misao's desk. And as far as he knows, every paper in this company, no matter how big or small, worth a million yen.
"Kuba-san? What's that paper under the desk?" his eyes confusely looking at the paper.
"What paper? Where?" He looked Ayase who was still looking at the paper. Then he looked the direction where he was looking at. He picked it up and it looked familiar. "Oh, this is the reason I can't seem to get this report. Thank you again, Ayase-san. You really re an angel descended from heaven." He moved closer to Ayase and whispered, "I don't know why you fell into the hand of that devil."
"Misao-san?" he covered Misao's mouth. He remembered that Kanou once pit a mic on his piercing in the form of a cross. He's not wearing it now but who knows that every single piece of his clothings have those things? "He might hear you." But he can't help himself but giggle.
Meanwhile, the older Kuba kept on glaring at his brother, but no one notices him this time. How can Misao talk to Ayase like he's just a normal person. Well, he is normak, maybe it's just that he looks at Ayase in a special way.
Then the door of Kanou's office swung open, revealing a woman carrying crying baby. She looked really pale as she tried to hush down the baby but it gotten worse. The baby was hungry or something. Maybe he could feel the evil aura in the office? Poor little angel.
"I'll just make him sleep then I'll be going back in here to finish our transaction." The woman informed the twin before heading out.
"Maybe it's okay to get in?" Ayase looked at the twin who only gave him their shrugs.
He took deep breath before taking a few steps to the door and knocked.
"Come in." His voice sounded scary but evne so, he still turned the knob and saw a working Kanou.
"Kuba, next time don't let a client with a friggin' baby go in nd make a transaction with me. I hate it when those slow-working creatures cry. Their voice just irritate my ears, understnd, Kuba?" When he looked up, he saw a shocked Ayase. Then the paperbag he's holding dropped on the floor and dropped escaped.
"W-What's that, Kanou-san? You... hate babies?"
"Oh, and the annoying person is here. What's it to you when I hate babies? Their so lazy and do nothing but to cry and then suck their mothers tits and go to sleep and do the same thing when they wake why are you asking? Don't tell me that you're pregnant because you can't! And what are you doing here?" His brows twitched in complete annoyance.
The second to the last sentence stabbed Ayase in the heart.
Ayase landed her left hand to his tummy and then his tears escaped his eyes.
"How dare you, Kuba-san? How dare you!" He glared at the man before he ran out of the office as fast as he could. He even ignored the twins who stared at him, puzzled.
And using their initiatives, it would be so intrusice for them to ask the Boss why their friend ran out crying.
