Home Is Where The Heart Is
Chapter One, Part 1: The Home
Fingers drummed on the car door handle, it's tone unnerving. The driver of the car gave a sideways glance at the one on the passenger seat, who was mindless of his glare and continued to tap on the surface, annoyance permanently etched on his face.
"Stop that. It's annoying, "Mitsui Hisashi said as he turned the steering wheel to the left, sending the car careening to the next corner.
Suddenly, the tapping stopped, and for a while, the car was filled with silence, save for the labored breathing of the passenger, and the soft music that played on the radio.
Mitsui smiled. Well, at least he's not screaming anymore.
"Have your bestfriend blindfold you, force you in the car, take you to God knows where, and not say a damn thing about it. Then, let's trade notes on what's annoying." Came the quiet, yet heated reply from the other side of the car.
Sighing, Mitsui reached over and patted the other man's shoulder and said, "Just a little more patience, Min-kun. We're almost there."
Kogure Kiminobu frowned and crossed his arms across his chest, "Where are we going, anyway?"
"Himitsu desu. I can't tell you."
The other man snorted and looked out the window…or at least tried to.
~*~
"We're here," Mitsui announced as he pulled the car to a halt. Kogure made no move until he heard the door on his best friend's side open and close, and he felt Mitsui's hands taking the seatbelt off him and proceeded to guide him out of the house and onto the sidewalk. The moment Mitsui shoved him to the car earlier, he had wanted to just rip the cloth around his eyes and dash out of there like a cheetah. But, Mitsui pleaded him not to. Plus, he was a nice person. And nice people do what they're told. But that didn't take away his right to sulk and grumble.
And grumble he did, all the way to whatever destination they have. After he screamed at his friend's ear, nearly making the poor organ fall off.
And now, the damn man had the gall to lead him oh-so-cheerfully, a stupid smile obviously slapped on his face, based on the way his voice sounded. Suddenly, Mitsui pulled him to a stop. He didn't know where they are, but he knew there was something solid in front of him, also based from the sound of the other's voice.
"Ne, Min-kun?" Mitsui asked, hands around Kogure's shoulders.
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember the house I was telling you about before?"
"The one you wanted to buy?"
"Aa."
"What about it?"
"Well…" Mitsui started, and then he removed the blindfold off of Kogure's eyes, still smiling widely, "I bought it already."
Kogure, at the moment, was too busy sweeping the ground with his jaw, staring in awe at the house in front of him. It was a nice house, to say the least. It had two stories, a balcony on the second floor, a wide lawn, a two-car garage, cream-painted walls and sliding windows. It was not nice. It was magnificent, amazing, wonderful.
Whatever the hell it was, it sure did render him speechless. "Hi-hi-sash…it's…"
Mitsui smiled, looking at the house, pride shining in his eyes, "I know. Isn't it?"
Kogure nodded, then turned to him, concern etched on his face, "But, where'd you get the money…"
"Oh, that." Mitsui said, scratching his hair, "Turned out, my parents left me a good amount of cash that I was supposed to get on my 16th birthday."
Kogure frowned, "But, you're 18 now…how come you just found out about it?"
"Well, the one who knew about it was my aunt who lives in Nagoya. I talked to her last month and told her that I was planning on buying a house, and she just told me about it. So there."
The lines on Kogure's face deepened, "But what about lawyers? Didn't they tell you?"
"Otousan asked him to not tell me about it until I turned 16, but just about five months ago, he went in coma. So when I talked to my aunt, we just contacted his son. But! Who cares about that, ne? It's here! I have it. It's mine!" Mitsui said, laughing slightly and began to pull on Kogure's hand and led the other man in the house.
"It's…big." Kogure said as they entered the house and Mitsui gave him a grand tour. The house itself stood on 120 square meters of land; has a common room, a kitchen, a dining room, a study, and a bathroom only on the first floor, and four rooms, and three bathrooms upstairs. "Isn't this a bit too much for just you?"
Mitsui shrugged, "It is. But, I like it."
"Ahh," Kogure said as he walked around the spacious master's bedroom at the end of the hall. "Won't it get a bit lonely? I mean, you'll be alone and all…"
Mitsui smiled, looked down and scratched his nose, "Actually, I won't be…"
Kogure turned to him, "Really? You found roommates already? Yokatta."
"Actaully…" Mitsui said, still lingering on the doorway.
Hearing the unsure tone from his best friend, Kogure paused from examining the closet to look at his best friend, "What's wrong? You look worried."
"Well, you see…" Mitsui began, "It's…uh…like this."
Kogure nodded, signaling him to continue.
"It's…uhm…Min-kun? Would you move in with me?" Mistui asked, afraid to look at his best friend's expression.
The sound of a body hitting wood could be heard from the other side of the room and Kogure stared at his friend, mouth wide open and speechless, the second time that day.
AN: *twiddles fingers* So…whatcha think? Aside from the crappy writing, whatcha think about the story? Something else was supposed to happen in this chapter, but with an ending like that, I don't think another scene would look good…
I know Kogure doesn't seem like his normal gentle self, but I don't think he's OOC in the least bit. I mean, Mitsui's his best friend, he's allowed to show his real self to him at least, right? Plus, I don't believe anyone who's unspeakably smart, good at basketball, and incredibly nice could be human. Humans have faults. This is just one of Kogure's, I think. *firm nod*
Okay, minna, review! I'm new so, *blush* be gentle with me…
