Junjou Romantica
The Beautiful Effects of Alcohol
Chapter 1- It's about time they meet
A/N: 1- Okay, so this story, I'm predicting, won't be a very long one. I wanted to make it a one-shot, as in one long chapter but I decided to divide it. So please read and review! The sexy parts will come along in later chapters.
2- Don't dwell too much on 'Haruka'. She isn't important, I just needed her to start off the story. This story isn't about her.
It was a windy afternoon when, just like any other day, Akihiko Usami took out his red sports car and drove it to M University, where he would park it, step out, light a cigarette and wait for it precious Misaki to walk out. After which, they would make a scene with a quick argument on whether or not he's going to his senpai's house and then, once he had had enough, Akihiko would just force him into the car and drive off. It was a daily ritual and sometimes made the young writer wonder why Misaki even bothered putting up a fight anymore.
Classes for the day were almost over, so the asphalted entrance of the school was completely empty until an odd sight caught his eye. A young teenage girl standing at the entrance, just like him, obviously waiting for someone. She was wearing a pair of short jeans shorts with a loose white T-shirt with a picture of a Tootsie Pop on it. Akihiko would have thought she had just rolled out of it bed if it weren't for the two large pieces of luggage she had with her, each of them bigger than she was, which really didn't say much seeing as she was quite small. She had long brown hair, big brown eyes. It took the great Lord Usami Akihiko exactly 5 seconds to recognize her and then another 2 to remember her name.
"Haruka?" He called.
The girl swung herself around and looked at him. She raised her palm to shield her face from the sun and squinted at him.
"Yes?" She answered and began to slowly make her was towards him, dragging along her two bags.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as she got closer. "You have grown!" He added once she was standing right in front of him where he got a better look at her.
He rarely every smiled but this time couldn't control the one that spread across his face. It also helped her finally recognize him.
"Oh my God, Akihiko?" She said and tackled him into a hug. "It's been so long!" She said, her face buried in his torso.
"Yes, yes. How have you been?" He asked, sounding like a concerned older brother. He pushed her away and examined her; she looked fairly well.
"Don't look at me like that! I have Hiroki for that already!" She frowned at him and looked exactly like her brother at that moment.
Akihiko laughed. "I suppose you're waiting for him."
"Yeah. I just arrived from America like, 3 hour ago. Do you know when school ends?"
"In 2 minutes exactly." He said. "But the professors stay extra hours to get some work done. Does he know you're waiting for him?"
"Damn it!" She yelled and stomped her tiny foot on the ground. "No he doesn't, I wanted to surprise him, but now I have to wait here with these giant bags and look like a complete idiot."
"There's no point in you doing that, Haruka. Just come home with me and call Hiroki." He offered, which was also unlike him. But he had known Haruka for years and had even babysat her with Hiroki a few times. The least he could do was take her home. Besides, he owed Hiroki for all the books he had borrowed from him.
"That's fine, but why the hell are YOU here?"
For a second, he just stared at her. She was so old now! Last time he saw her, she was only 12 and was heading off to the United States to study. It was a shock to see this 'lady' version of that little girl who had left her family with two spiky pigtails on her head.
"Akihiko?"
"Yes, sorry. I'm here for my..." he paused. What would be the most embarrassing way to call Misaki...? He thought to himself with an evil smile. "My boyfriend of a couple of years." He finished.
"Aaaawwww," she squealed. "No more Takahiro?" She teased.
"No, but he's his brother."
She threw her head back and laughed, holding on to her sides, she folded herself in half and tried to breathe normally.
"Oh God." –breath—"That's so funny. Nice going, I bet he looks just like him, you creeper."
"Not one bit." He said with a smile.
The doors of the university opened, releasing a whole crowd of college students, talking amongst each other. Seeing as it was a university and not a high school, the crowd was much calmer and spoke in a normal volume. They were a bit more civilized, to say the least.
"Which one is he?" Haruka asked, eagerly sticking her head out and standing on her toes to see over the sea of students.
"Don't worry, you'll hear him yelling any second now."
And so, as expected, a minute and a half later...
"Usagi-san! Get your car out of..." He paused at the sight of the girl standing next to his boyfriend and smiling straight at him.
"That him?" She asked Usagi-san.
"That's him. C'mon, we have a guest, we're leaving." He told him and made his way to the car.
For the first time in after school history, Misaki simply nodded, way too confused to begin arguing, and waved goodbye to his friend. He obeyed Akihiko by stepping into the car, leaving the front seat for the girl.
"Misaki, this is Haruka." Usagi said once they were all in the car along with the luggage.
The girl turned around from the front seat and grinned at him over the leather chair.
"My brother might be your literature professor." She said. "Kamijo ring a bell?"
The look of horror that momentarily crossed Misaki's face must have been hilarious since both Haruka and Usagi-san began to laugh.
"He's pretty scary right? Imagine having to live with him for 12 years...stupid Hiroki."
"I've known Haruka for a long time Misaki, so be nice to her." Akihiko said.
"Of course." Misaki answered politely and smiled.
"I'm sure he's always nice." Haruka said. "He's super cute too, you probably don't deserve him." She told Akihiko and poked his arm.
"I think HE's the one that doesn't deserve ME." The writer replied and looked at his boyfriend from the rear-view mirror.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!" Misaki yelled.
"Yeah, I bet he cooks and cleans for you, you selfish bastard!" She teased him. "Don't you Mi-"
She stopped dead and without even looking at her, both men in the car knew that her eyes had widened. She sucked in some air and very slowly turned to the young man in the back seat.
"Misaki. That's you?" She stuttered.
"Um yeah..."
"You. Are. Such. An. ASS!" She yelled the last word and smacked Usagi-san's arm as hard as she could, which really wasn't that hard at all. "Isn't that like...illegal or something? I would SO sue your ass!"
Misaki waited in fear for Usagi's reaction, but all he did was chuckle. So...he's the only who had no idea what the crazy girl was yelling about all of a sudden?
"What do you mean?" He asked, somewhat sarcastically because Misaki sensed in is tone that he pretty much knew what Haruka was talking about.
She completely ignored his question and snapped her head back swiftly towards Misaki.
"Dude! He's using you in..." she paused and seemed to be really thinking about what she would say next. "You know... in those things he..." She blushed.
"Haruka, I always knew you read all my books." Usagi-san cut in. "I just never knew you read ALL of them. I'm truly flattered."
Haruka immediately sank into her seat, shooting Akihiko several death glares.
"Whatever." She said eventually. "I'm just surprised that you're THAT Misaki. Don't people notice that both your names are being used like that? I doubt they would just brush it off as 'coincidental'."
"I used your brothers' names too." Usagi decided to randomly add to the already awkward conversation.
"Stop making my brother into a pervert!" The two brunettes yelled in unison, making Akihiko chuckle mockingly.
"Poor Misaki..." Haruka mumbled, and turned to stare out the window.
Once at the apartment, Misaki instantly began making dinner. Haruka insisted on helping saying that Misaki was tired and shouldn't have to do such work and then added something about Akihiko being useless or lazy or something.
"So how long have you been together?" Haruka asked him.
Usually, he would have denied being with Usagi-san completely, but all that was already out in the open thanks to a certain somebody's BL novels. He couldn't lie either since his so called boyfriend was sitting a few feet away reading his newspaper, even probably listening in.
"A few years." He answered vaguely, just to be safe.
"Wow, so it's pretty serious then. You know, my bro had a crush on him a long while ago, but he has a boyfriend too now." She explained and then blushed. "Sorry, you guys already know that."
She giggled and dumped some veggies into a plate. "Stupid me."
"I didn't know Professor Kamijo had a boyfriend." Misaki stated and looked at Usagi-san. "Neither that you were friends with him, Usagi."
"I didn't think it was important." He said very quickly to put it aside and get to the point. "But Haruka, why are you visiting now exactly?" He asked and walked over to the kitchen.
"Didn't you guys hear the news?" She asked them, sounding AND looking very surprised when they both shook their heads.
"He didn't tell you?"
They shook their heads again.
"Ugh, Hiroki." She put her face into her palms and it became her turn to shake her head. It couldn't be anything bad because she was smiling and laughing about it.
"Haruka what happened?" Akihiko asked.
"It's not 100% sure yet but..." She looked up at the both of them. "I think they're adopting."
The whole room went silent, with everyone staring at Haruka. Even Haruka was staring at herself. Her head hung low with a small smile on her lips, contemplating her feet.
"Well," Usagi-san spoke through the silence. "That IS some news."
"Yeah I know."
Another uncomfortable silence took over for some time until Misaki spoke this time.
"What are they going to name him... or her?"
"Misaki, I think at this point the name is the least of their worries." Usagi answered.
"How come?"
"They have much more to deal with first, like papers, fees, consultations..." Haruka explained sweetly.
"And me." Akihiko once again cut her off. "We're going over there after dinner."
He didn't look too happy, nor too angry. Maybe just a little...impatient?
The two brunettes stared at him with fear and worry. Akihiko met the two pairs of huge eyes staring straight at him and sighed.
"I'm not mad at him, I want to simply pay him a long overdo visit. I don't want us drifting apart and I STILL find it ridiculous that I haven't even properly met this boyfriend of his."
He said in all the calm and seriousness he had while he lit a cigarette.
"Well, Usagi-san, in that case isn't it kind of ridiculous that Kamijo-sensei hasn't met ME...properly?"
"Then you'll all meet!" Haruka shouted happily. "This should be SUPER fun!"
'Sure,' Usagi thought, 'and very interesting as well...'
'Yeah,' Misaki thought, 'and awkward too...'
"Hiro-san, I'm home!" Nowaki yelled into the apartment.
"Nowaki? You're home early." Hiroki answered his boyfriend nervously. On the inside he was panicking, because in his living room sat someone...
"Ah! Nowaki-kun! How are you?"
Nowaki followed the semi familiar voice straight into the living room where he came face to face with Professor Miyagi Yoh.
"Oh! Hello Professor." He said and bowed.
"There's no need for all that! Just call me Miyagi." He said with a wave of his hand.
"You don't let me call you Miyagi." Hiroki snapped at his boss.
"You don't let me call you Hiroki." Miyagi answered with a self satisfied smile.
Hiroki grunted. "Uh, Nowaki, he was just dropping something off, so would you mind boiling some water?" Hiroki asked him shyly, which to Nowaki was incredibly cute.
"Sure Hiro-san. Professor, would you like to stay?"
"Um..." He seemed to really think about it, which came off as a bit weird since it was such a simple question. "I suppose so." He finally answered.
"Great!"
Nowaki went over to the kitchen and began preparing some tea as Hiroki began to clean up some if his books and putting them back into their places.
"So, um, Nowaki, I hear you two might be adopting?" Miyagi asked tentatively, not really sure if h was allowed to even know.
"Oh! Hiro-san told you?"
"Yeah, sorry if you-"
"No, it's all right." Nowaki cut in before his boyfriend could explain himself. He wasn't just trying to be polite in front of the professor; he really did mean it. To be honest, Nowaki was kind of excited, even though the decision wasn't final. If he could, he would tell the world, but Hiro-san would probably kill him if he even tried.
"Well, good luck!" Miyagi said. "It must be hard, not that I would know."
They knew that it would be. Neither of them had any motherly skills or instincts, let alone anything feminine other that their interest in men. But as much as they would be able to handle it, they needed at least a little bit of those things. Nowaki even recalled Hiroki mentioning something about getting help, but he wasn't sure what his boyfriend had meant by that.
"Would you mind if I asked a few questions?" Miyagi ventured further.
"Go ahead."
"Are you going with newborns or...a little older...?"
Nowaki opened his mouth and then closed it. He turned to look at Hiro-san only to see that he was already looking at him.
"Um..."
"Yeah, 'um' is right."
"Okay then..." Miyagi said. "Girl or Boy?"
"It doesn't matter." Hiroki said and blushed. "Even though I guess at one point we're going to have to choose." He added.
Miyagi laughed. "I can see this isn't really a final decision, but I do hope you go through with it. Maybe that way, you'll be less cranky Kamijo." He teased him as his Hiroki blushed even more and frowned.
"You just wait Professor. When Shinobu starts wanting a kid, I wanna see YOU handle it." He smiled deviously and chuckled.
"Ha!" Miyagi rolled his eyes. "Please Kamijo, let me start by taking care of Shinobu himself before I put another child in his hands!"
They all laughed together, even though Miyagi's sounded a little uneasy. Obviously, Shinobu wanting a child had never crossed his mind before and now he found himself praying that it would never happen.
About five minutes later, there was a knock at the door and everyone fell silent.
"I'll get it." Hiroki said, since Nowaki's hands were full.
Hiroki went over to the door and opened it, only to see a familiar, grumpy looking face of a college student. Light brown hair, big greenish blue eyes...'Oh..' he thought 'this should be funny.'
He grinned at the new visitor and waved him inside.
"Why if it isn't Shinobu-kun! How are you? Come, come, Miyagi's inside."
When they entered the living room, Miyagi was already standing up with a terrified look on his face.
"Shinobu...?"
"How long were you expecting me to wait in that car?" He asked, sounding as pissed as usual.
"I told you I was just dropping something off." Miyagi said through gritted teeth. "C'mon, let's go."
"No! Don't leave!" Hiroki said, pushing Shinobu a little towards the couch. "Shinobu, Nowaki, Nowaki, this is the Professor's boyfriend, Shinobu."
"Hello." Nowaki waved from the kitchen. "Would you like some tea?"
"Thank you." Shinobu answered with a tiny smile and sat down.
Miyagi kept stirring in his seat, trying to think of a way out of this uncomfortable situation. Each time Hiroki flashed that fake way-too-friendly smile of his, he wanted to kill him, because he was doing it for no other reason than to piss him off.
"So, you're going to university?" Nowaki asked Shinobu with a sweet smile.
The kid was so damn nice and sincere, it made Miyagi want to smack Shinobu for not smiling back and then smack Hiroki even harder just because he didn't deserve such a nice boyfriend.
"Yes, in literature." He answered.
"Oh?" Hiroki said, intrigued. "May I ask why?"
'Bastard already knows the answer...' Miyagi angrily thought to himself, but he knew Shinobu would never say something so embarrassing in front of-
"I like it. Plus Miyagi-"
"Yeah, this kid's a genius!"The professor cut in, even though Hiroki had probably heard more than enough to keep him satisfied. "He's getting perfect scores at T."
"Oh wow." Nowaki said.
"What do you do?" Shinobu asked Nowaki, completely ignoring the two University professors.
"Oh, I'm in emergency pediatrics."
For the first time since he had arrived, Shinobu's expression changed. His eyebrows shot up and his eyes widened, but barely. It was better than nothing, and when your Shinobu, it kind of IS something.
"Seriously? Not to be rude, but aren't you kind of young?"
To Miyagi's surprise, Shinobu was actually showing interest and just for a second, he stopped bickering with Hiroki...but just for a second.
"Well yeah," Nowaki laughed. "I guess so."
Shinobu hung his head slightly, his hair falling over his face to cover from Nowaki the devious expression that came over, aimed at the two professors. The two had stopped arguing once they had noticed the sudden silence and waited for one of them to say something.
"Kind of intimidating for you two isn't it?" He said turning once to Hiroki and once to his boyfriend. He made no effort to hide the offensiveness of the statement.
Everyone in the room, taken aback, stared at him with wide eyes. Through the awkwardness, Miyagi cleared his throat.
"Um, and why is that, Shinobu?" He asked and chuckled uneasily.
Shinobu waved his hand to the side, motioning to Nowaki. He kept his hand hanging in the air, palm up, still directed to the tall raven haired young man.
"He's, like, what? 24?" He said. "And he saves the lives of children for a living. I don't think anyone can compete with that."
Hiroki and Miyagi raised their eyebrows at him.
"Thank you Shinobu-san, but what Hiro-san and Professor Miyagi do is quite impressive." Nowaki pointed out.
"I'm not saying it's not. Why would I put down the profession I'm interested in?" He paused. "But anyone can be a literature teacher with the right education, but not everyone can do what you're doing. You must seriously like kids." He said seriously, just like he always spoke.
Everyone was silent for a second. They all knew he had a point, but what could they say?
"You're right." Hiroki said all of a sudden. "His work IS something impressive and Nowaki does love children..."
"Obviously, since he's the one who brought up adoption." Miyagi rolled his eyes at Hiroki who blushed and shot his boss a dirty look.
"Oh, you're adopting?" Shinobu inquired further.
"We're thinking about it." Nowaki answered since the other were too busy visually destroying each other.
"I'd like a kid too... maybe." Shinobu mumbled, hoping only Nowaki would hear, but they all must have since Hiroki suddenly grinned, pointed at Miyagi and began shouting.
"Ha! Good luck professor!" Out of freaking nowhere.
"Be quiet! He said maybe!" Miyagi whined and the two began another endless, childish argument, filled with insults, stupid assumptions and just plain embarrassment. When he had had just about enough, Shinobu slowly turned his gaze on them and cleared his throat to get their attention.
"What is wrong with you two." He asked calmly, maintaining his stoic composure.
The two turned red to their ears and looked away, frowning.
Before Nowaki could even have the chance to laugh at his Hiro-san, the doorbell rang.
"I got it." Hiroki said and rushed to the door, wanting nothing more than to get away from the embarrassment. He opened the door and his breath got caught in his throat at the sight.
"Hel-" he stopped dead in the greeting and gasped.
"Hey loser." A young lady's voice said.
"Hello Hiroki." Said another voice, which only Nowaki recognized and feared.
And then a smaller, irritated sounding voice mumbled a 'hello professor' and walked in as well as the others.
One by one, they filed into the living room, appearing in the order in which their voiced were heard.
A small teenage girl, very cute and resembling Hiroki with great accuracy.
Almost everyone in the room was shocked to see the great novelist Usami Akihiko.
And finally, a small male college student, who Miyagi and Nowaki both found familiar.
"Um..."Nowaki got up. "Hello." He said and desperately looked at Hiro-san for an explanation.
"Haruka, what the hell are you doing here?" He said, which really didn't explain much at all.
"I'm on vacation, so I'm visiting. I told you I was coming, so surprise!" The little girl spoke to him with ease and frankly, the more they spoke to each other, the more they looked alike.
"Well?" The girl said and put her hands on her hips. "Are you gonna introduce me?"
Hiroki Kamijo, standing in the situation he wished would never happen, put his hands on his sister's shoulders and sighed.
"This is my sister Haruka."He said.
"Hi everyone!"
Everyone just stared.
"Oh..." Nowaki muttered. He had never met her, but he should have known it was her from the beginning, when he first noticed the resemblances.
"Well, she's cuter than you'll ever be Hiroki." Miyagi teased and smiled at her, which made her giggle, but made Misaki, who was standing right next to her gasp at the man's voice.
"You okay Misaki?" She asked.
"Professor Yoh?" He said, in a nervous high pitched voice.
"Ah! I knew you were familiar!"
Haruka laughed and punched Misaki's arm gently.
"Ha! You're boyfriend and two professors. All in one room. I feel bad for you." She laughed.
"And florist..." He added and shifted his eyes towards Nowaki.
"Oh man, I'm really sorry you had to come." She giggled, even though she truly DID feel bad for him, the situation was way too funny.
"Haruka, shut up." Hiroki said and smacked her sister on the back of her head. "And who's his boyfriend?"
"That would be me." Usagi-san spoke, but only looked at one person: Nowaki. "I believe we still haven't met properly." He told him and bowed.
"No, I believe not." Nowaki said and bowed as well.
"Hiroki, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had company."
"It's fine, everybody's here anyway. Well, nice to meet you Misaki...even though I kind of know you already." He said awkwardly and shook his hand.
"I suppose so." Misaki laughed uncomfortably.
They all sat down somewhere, next to their significant other, except for Haruka who was gliding around the room, picking up random books and smiling at people.
"Usami-sensei." Miyagi addressed the writer. "Big fan. I didn't know you were dating a student of mine."
"Hm." Usagi-san smiled and narrowed his eyes towards the blushing and panicked Misaki. "Yes. He seems to enjoy keeping that a secret from people."
The two adult men laughed, making the younger ones (except for Nowaki and Haruka) feel the need to runaway and hide.
"I don't blame you Misaki, I wouldn't want people to know either." Hiroki said, indirectly insulting his good friend who smiled deviously back at him.
"Yeah, and yet you insist on buying three copies of each of his books." Haruka called from one of the bookshelves.
This time, it was the two youngest ones who snickered under their noses at the remark.
Hiroki blushed and sighed. "Haruka get down from there. You came all the way over here, I don't want you hurt yet. Tell me what the hell you want to do because I can't leave you in the house all day."
"Brother, there are only two things I wanna do. First, I wanna meet Nowaki. Second, I wanna meet that Professor that drives you crazy. Miyagi or something...right?"
Everyone in the room, excluding Akihiko and Hiroki, stared at each other, a little confused and lost, opening their mouths to speak but being stopped by either the writer, or Hiroki before being able to say anything. The two old friends shook their heads, being used to Haruka's slowness when it came to things like this.
"Haruka." Akihiko's booming voice scorched through the silence. "Nowaki. Is. Right. There." He said, and pointed at the young man in question.
Haruka's eyes widened as she frowned, so you can imagine how completely lost she was. She opened her mouth but didn't speak and began shaking her head left and right very quickly, almost as if her neck was twitching.
"N-no. You're lying." She breathed out and smile. "THAT'S Nowaki?" She pointed at him and glared at Usagi-san in disbelief
"Yes, why is that so hard to believe?"
"HE'S SO HOT! Why is he with Hiroki?" She sounded so outraged, as if it was THE most unacceptable thing.
"Hey! What the hell is that supposed to mean you brat!" Her brother stood up and began yelling at her, even though she was completely oblivious of it since it seemed that she was still under the shock of 'Nowaki'.
"Wait, wait, slow down. My brother, MY BROTHER, freaking Hiroki Kamijo, is dating a tall, gorgeous doctor!"
"Well, yeah, if you put it that way." Nowaki answered shyly, smiling and scratching the back of his head.
Ignoring the fact that he brother might explode from the anger he was generating, Haruka slowly turned towards him, patted his chest twice with both her hands and blew out some air.
"You, my friend, or one hell of a lucky dude." She said and sat down next to Misaki on the floor, who had turned bright red from all the laughter he was suppressing.
"You know Kamijo, she..." The other professor began.
"Miyagi, don't even try." He growled at him before he could say anything else.
"Wait, and that's Miyagi!" Haruka said and was back on her feet.
"What now? He's too hot to be Hiroki's boss?" Akihiko asked.
"No idiot, I'm like, his biggest fan. Do you KNOW how much he drives Hiroki crazy? It's hilarious." She said as a matter of factly.
Miyagi chuckled. "Heh, my first supporter."
"Nice to meet you Professor." She said and bowed, something she barely ever did since she had sort of lost the habit while in the United States.
"Is that your son?" She asked and she could have sworn she had never seen two men become so red so fast in her entire life. Nor had she heard grown men laugh so hard. Both his brother and Akihiko were 'bonding' by holding on to each while cracking up, Nowaki was covering his mouth but was practically gonna cry anytime soon and Misaki was... on the floor.
Shinobu and Miyagi looked at each other and it looked like they were angry at each other more than they should have been at Haruka, who stood in the center of all the madness, completely lost.
"What?" She asked a few times but nobody heard her.
Eventually when the laughter died out and Shinobu refused to meet anyone's eyes and stared at the entrance door instead, Akihiko and Nowaki (not Hiroki) apologized to the professor.
"No need!" He brushed it away. "It would have been hilarious if it wasn't me!"
"I still don't get it." Haruka said and sat herself back down next to Misaki.
"Um..." Misaki spoke for the first time, even though 'um' could barely be considered a word at all, and tapped Haruka on the shoulder before leaning into her ear and whispering something.
"Oh. Shit."
"You screwed up sis."
"I...I'm seriously sorry dude." She said to Shinobu who mumbled a 'that's fine'
Shinobu decided not to hold a grudge, which is what he would have usually done. But he figured that she should be an exception, because really, he couldn't blame her for assuming that and making a mistake. Besides, it would ridiculous for him to dislike Miyagi's number two supporter...that's right.
He was number one. Always.
Time passed and eventually, everyone had to leave. However, things were NOT left hanging. The oldest men had decided to go out during the weekend to a bar or something. Just to hang out and catch up. These 'men' included Nowaki, Hiroki, Akihiko and Miyagi. The rest were under-aged, therefore, were left behind.
"I'm having Kaoruko come over that night anyway." Haruka said, crossing her arms over her chest as if she didn't care one bit.
On the other hand, Shinobu and Misaki weren't even trying to hide how pissed off they were, even though they couldn't really argue.
"Now, now, Shinobu-chin," Miyagi teased his boyfriend. "you get to stay with Misaki-kun."
"It's not fair." Shinobu growled at him. "Why do we have to stay behind like we're kids."
"Yeah!" Misaki added, standing by the other boy.
"Because you are. Now come on we're leaving, you're gonna see your little friend this weekend anyway." Usagi-san said, which made the anger rise in Misaki even more.
"Stupid Usagi." He hissed and walked out the door.
What no one else had seemed to notice, were the small nods Misaki and Shinobu exchanged before leaving, which Haruka couldn't help but find a little suspicious, seeing as they had just met.
"Where are you sleeping?" Nowaki asked her once everyone was gone.
"On the couch." She said made herself comfortable before Nowaki could offer her a more comfortable option.
"All right then." He smiled. "So who's Kaoruko?" He asked, sitting down at her feet on the couch.
"It's Akihiko's cousin." Hiroki walked into the room. "They're friend since childhood. She can sleepover here while we're at the hotel."
"Hotel?"
"Yeah, the bar is this known place next to this known hotel. Akihiko suggested it, he said it was nice."
Nowaki seemed thrilled at the idea, and Haruka was smart enough to figure out why. She shuddered and tucked herself into the sheets and went to sleep, excited for the weekend.
She had a feeling. Some shit was about to go down.
