"I'm going to work!" the door slammed behind him leaving a dazed and bruised Nowaki to stare blankly at the door.
Earlier that morning Hiroki had decided to make breakfast, knowing that his lover had worked long hours for the past couple of weeks. Nowaki woke up and was ecstatic like a kid on Christmas and had made the mistake of calling the older man cute and trying to start something right before Hiroki had to go to work.
The fiasco landed him with fresh bruises on his arms from blocking and a bump on the head from a direct hit.
"Aw, why does he always do this?" Nowaki said out loud as he thought of what to do, it was one of his very few days off but Hiro-san had to work and wouldn't just stay home.
Even though the behavior was normal for the older man, it always slightly hurt poor Nowaki. He never really questioned the professors love for him but he would like it if the guy could be a little more affectionate, sometimes at least.
"Ouch, now what am I suppose to do, man his aim is always spot on…" He rubbed his head and looked around for something to do and came across a new BL novel that Akihiko had no doubt dropped off for them, Hiro-san had already had a fit about it earlier that week.
"Damn that Akihiko! What does he think I am, and why can't he stop with my name, God I am so gonna go over there and get that Jackass!" The professor was shy to say the least, but Nowaki found the authors books to be quite amusing and wondered how his lover faired when he saw all of the books he had published about them.
Nowaki picked up the book and began to flip through the pages, he hadn't got very far through it when a piece of paper fell out of a page.
"Hiroki's Seme, Hiroki can be very stubborn. Think about it. -Akihiko" That was all the note said.
"Think about what now?" He asked to no one in particular.
Nowaki spent the rest of the day reading through the strange book, it was very well written and caused him to blush many times, but it was the story itself that had caught his attention.
"How could this Nowaki even think about treating Hiro-san like this?!…."
The book had found Nowaki insecure with Hiroki's love so he chose to be indifferent to the man going as far as to drive Hiroki to insanity and throw himself at the cold man.
"This can't possibly work! I would end up with a concussion from his attack of anger! It wouldn't work….." Still the mans brain began to turn and twist and think of possible scenario's
"Nowaki, please! Please just….just hold me already….please" Not likely to happen or come from Hiro-sans mouth but it was such a nice fantasy.
"Maybe…no I shouldn't, but maybe I could try for a day or two to be…..less affectionate?" He thought to himself.
He didn't think he had the will power to completely ignore him like his character in the novel, but he could just avoid touching Hiro-san for a day or so.
"Well…..no ha-ha no……my relationship is fine, how could I even think that ha." He decided to put the idea away as he went to get his lover from work.
"Sorry I'm running a little late Hiro…..san."
He walked into the office and noticed his Hiro-san being straddled by that older professor Miyagi. Right then and there his resolve cleared and he decided to put his earlier plan into action.
"You ready to go?" He asked while trying to wipe the anger off his face. He usually would hit the old professor but, he could maybe pull this off.
"This isn't what it looks like….Nowaki?" Hiroki was astounded to see his lover just look down at him with a blank look, he should be ripping this guy off of him.
"I will grab your bag but hurry I'm hungry." With that, the younger man turned and left the office.
"This is going to be a long experience" Thought Nowaki as he left with no other word hoping his lover would follow soon.
"What the…..Ow, Kumouji!" Hiroki shoved Miyagi off him and scrambled out the door after his Nowaki, hoping the man was not to upset.
"You should have just hit him Nowaki, you know this is the normal for him. Remember he has his own boyfriend, that little high school brat." Hiroki tried to talk to Nowaki but the man seemed oddly uninterested.
"Hmm what were you saying Hiro-san?" Nowaki had been listening but thought it to be better for him to act as if he were more aloof, this was hard for him.
"Your not bothered by what happened are you? Nowaki? HELLO?!" What was his problem, Nowaki was always upset by these things….what was happening.
"Hiro-san what do we have for dinner at home and why would I be upset?" He just looked at the man with a slightly bored expression.
"huh?!…." They walked home in silence from there.
………………………………................................................................................................
Hiroki would never, NEVER offer this normally, but Nowaki was being so…distant so the teacher had decided it as a peace offering.
"Hey Nowaki..w-won't you join me in the…..bath now?" The words were so docile and foreign to him, but Nowaki was being so weird.
Nowaki didn't turn all the way around once he say His lover in nothing but a towel, gaining a hard on almost instantly.
"What? Oh no thanks I already showered today. Well I think I'm gonna go to bed." He had considered sleeping on the couch do to a "bad back" but then he thought about the temptation for Hiro-san with him right next to him.
"Oh…ok" Hiroki left the room totally defeated. What was wrong with Nowaki?!
"He hasn't touched me since this morning…." This was not normal.
Nowaki sat in the living room and tried to take deep breaths, this was going to be a long and uncomfortable challenge for him, but he hoped it would prove to be worth it.
