A/N: Hello! I've been wanting to try writing a story for this anime (one of my favorite). I have several stories for them and I might upload them after some final touches. But any way who cares about that?

And by the way this isn't actually the first chapter. This is like a teaser? or a brief story about Misaki-tan :3 The next chapter is the actual start and is focused in Usagi's life. The outline of the story is already done and there's an ending now. All I have to do is finish writing it and we're done.

AND ONE MORE THING. I'm not really a writer so expect that this will not be written beautifully like most of the stories here. I'm just a fan letting out her imagination. And i apologize if the characters will be a bit OC. Peace.

Disclaimer: OBVIOUSLY not mine. JR belongs to Nakamura - sensei.

Please Enjoy!

"Misaki!"

"…"

"I did my best! I sacrificed a lot of things for you! How- How can you do this?! Is this how you will pay me back!?"

"…"

"Misaki! Tell me! Is it true?"

"…"

"Don't give me that silent treatment! Give me a reason! Tell me the truth."

"…"

"So it is true?"

"…"

"God damn it, Misaki! What did I do wrong?! Tell me!"

"… No, nothing."

"Fuck!"

(You don't need to be so frustrated. It was my choice and this is the consequences of my actions. No need to be sad. No need.)

"Get out of here. I don't want to see you."

XXXXXXX

Takahashi Misaki woke up with a start. He was sweating and the room was kind of cold. He quickly got out of the bed and changed to another set of clothes. He should have been used to those dreams. He shouldn't give them too much attention but if these dreams continue to hunt him, he will never be able to move on from what he did to his only family.

"I wonder if Nii-chan is doing fine." He asked himself. It been two years since he left his brother and he is quite sure that his brother should have known the truth by now, but then, his brother isn't looking for him. His brother definitely hates him. He is sure of that.

"I can't blame him though. It's something hard to believe and he probably doesn't trust me anymore."

Misaki turned to the wall clock in his room. It's nearly 7 am. He has his morning work and then followed by his afternoon work. He wanted to try studying but with his part time jobs he desperately needed, he can't do them both even if he takes years to finish studying. The burden is too much and there's not enough time. One part time job will never be enough to have him a stable independent life.

"If only Nii-chan is with me…-!?" He stopped when he realized what he just muttered. He slapped his face and shook it. "No, no! I promised I won't disturb him again. I don't want to hurt him anymore. I don't want to trouble him so much. Seeing me probably… taking good care of me is probably too much trouble for him too." He convinced himself and then rushed to the bathroom, vigorously splashing his face with water.

Misaki stood in front of the counter, waiting for customers to come. His morning work is a cashier/waiter in a café in front of a grand condominium. Gazing at it from the café, Misaki wonders what it's like living in there. A big bedroom, a big living and dining area. A sweet and carefree life.

"Aah… I always imagine living there when I was small." Misaki thought to himself. His train of thoughts, though, were suddenly interrupteed when the chime of the café's door rang. A customer has finally come. Misaki greeted the new customer which replied to him with a small nod and then settling on his usual table which was near the entrance, in front of the cashier. Misaki knew the man, it was Usami Akihiko and a famous novelist to boot. A man in his nearly thirties yet looks so young. A silver hair and a rich purple eyes which catches every girls' attention. He appears to be the mascot of the café as he seemed to be the reason why there are a lot of customers coming lately.

Misaki had worked at the café for almost a year and not only until these last few months did Misaki realized that Usami Akihiko had started frequenting at the café. Usually the man would come during the mornings at exactly 8:30 am. By the afternoon, in time with the end of Misaki's shift will then he will leave. But there are also times where Usami Akihiko would stay until the closing time of the café, working with his laptop.

"The usual right, Usami-san?" He asked and then there was a nod. Misaki then moved further inside the shop to make the espresso Usami always orders.

When Misaki got back in the counter, he found Usami asleep on the table, laptop left open. A sigh escaped from Misaki.

"He could have slept some more in his home…" He thought to himself. He placed the espresso on the table and took a peek at the laptop. There was nothing on the screen.

"Writer's block again?" He thought and a smile spread across his face.

"There's nothing… funny…" A voice groaned.

Misaki turned to the voice. "Ah, sorry."

Usami has woken up. Now that Misaki had gotten a much closer look, there are dark circles under Usami's eyes. And he kind of knew why. "Catching up with your deadlines again?" He asked.

"Yeah… Ugh…"

"If you're tired you should rest for now."

"Unn…" Usami groaned once more and as if taking Misaki's advice, he prepared to sleep at the table.

But Misaki then pushed Usami's head backwards. Much to Usami's annoyance. "I mean not here. You're home is just over there."

Usami only glared at Misaki but didn't say anything. He silently took his coffee and took a sip on it.

"I'll bring you some breakfast to take your sleepiness away."

Without looking back at Misaki, Usami murmured a soft thank you. He then put on his glasses and pulled the laptop near him and started typing. Upon seeing that, Misaki found himself smiling. Atleast he helped.

He thinks.

xxxxxxx

"Yo! Takahashi."

Misaki looked up and saw Todou, a friend and his coworker. Todou is also the one who will replace him in the counter for the afternoon.

"Ah, hello." Misaki greeted back, a smile plastered on his face. He looked at the digital clock, just above where Usami's table is. It's already 12. "Geh! It's already this late!" He exclaimed. He quickly took of his apron and handed it to Todou.

Todou let out a chuckle. "Lost track of time again?"

"Y-yeah… There are a lot of customers after all." Misaki then let out a nervous chuckle.

"Yeah. Must be because of Usami-san. All our customers here after all are girls."

"That might be true." Misaki glanced at Usami and he found that Usami was also looking back at him. For some reason, he found himself blush at that.

"A-anyways! I'm going!" He then took off, running further inside the café.

Todou was left a bit shock at that but at the same time find Misaki funny getting all nervous. His reverie was pulled to a stop when a customer calls his attention.

Xxxxx

Usami took his glasses off and closed his laptop. The café is getting noisy and he couldn't concentrate anymore. And the reason he stays here is now out of sight.

"…"

After fixing his things up, he got out of the café and just as he was about to cross the road to get to his condo, he came across with Misaki. Misaki saw him and then there was a smile on the brunette's face.

"Ah, Usami-san!"

Usami nodded back and then they were side by side, waiting for the stoplight to change color.

"Going back home?" Misaki asked.

"Yeah, you?"

Misaki shook his head. "No, not yet. Going to my next job." He replied.

"Hmm…" Usami noised out. "You're very hardworking especially with your body state."

Misaki frowned at that. He knows what this man is talking about. He could be arrogant most of the time to say in contrast with his handsome looks. "I know I'm small but I can do things, too."

"I never said you are small."

"I know you are implying it like that."

The stoplight finally changed color and the both of them prepared to cross along with the other people.

"See you tomorrow, Usami-san!" Misaki greeted before running off. Usami only raised his hand as goodbye without even looking back at Misaki. But as he slowly walked, he couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia ran through him when he heard how Misaki bid goodbye to him. The tone of the voice and even the words used by the brunette. It reminds him of the person he loves. Upon experiencing that, he looked behind him and finds Misaki running away from him.

A sad smile spreads on Usami's lips. "Takahiro… And just when I thought I already moved on. And this happens."

xxxxx

Misaki stepped inside an old looking book store.

"Welcome, Takahashi-kun!"

"Ah, Sanada-san, Good evening." Misaki greeted back. He then walked off to the isle where he buys the books he loves. Most of the books he buys are mangas. He really doesn't like novels and such since he isn't that much of a brainy and booklover. But upon meeting Usami and forming a somehow bond with the handsome man, he kind of started buying Usami's novel.

"Usami Akihiko's book, huh…" Sanada murmured. He appeared to be in awe when Misaki placed the books on the counter. "Since when have you become his fan?" The man asked.

Misaki shrugged. "Not until now? He usually frequents at the café I work at during the mornings… So I thought I should at least read his book or something…?"

The owner smiled at him. "Why is that? You don't really have to you know, unless…?" And then the owner let out chuckle and Misaki kind of know what does that mean.

"N-no! It's definitely not like that!" He exclaimed, embarassed. "What are you saying!?"

The owner couldn't handle it anymore and laughed aloud. "You are always the same just like before."

Upon hearing that, Misaki flinched which didn't go unnoticed by Sanada. A sigh escaped from the older man. He ruffled Misaki's head, a warm and assuring smile on his lips. "Don't worry, Takahashi-kun. I won't go over your past. It's in the past and the present is what we should care about because it will affect our tomorrow."

Misaki nodded his head, worry still present in his face. "Thank you, Sanada-san…"

"Is this all you are going to buy?"

"Yes. Thank you."

XXXXXX

Misaki laid on the bed, the book he just bought a while ago on his chest, open. He tried reading and it was definitely interesting but he isn't in the mood to continue reading.

"You are always the same just like before…"

Misaki turned, lying on his stomach. "The same as before, huh…" he murmured. He took his pillow and hugged it, burying his face in it.

Sanada-san knew him even before his fight with his brother. His brother used to frequent in the book store where Sanada used to own until he moved in this area. Which is why the man knows a lot about him. Even about the rumors surrounding him and his fight with his brother. But he had talked with the man about him being here and pleaded not to tell anyone. Sanada tried to talk with Misaki that he should fix his fight with his brother but Misaki was stubborn. He reasoned that he didn't want to trouble his brother anymore and he wanted to start anew, away from the rumors surrounding him.

"No… I should forget about it. This is a new chapter in my life and this is my chance to start again."

Even though Misaki knew that it will be very difficult, he decided that he should still do his best. After all, that's the least he could do.

ooooooo
