Chapter 2: Beach House
The house wasn't that a big deal but when Ryou saw how excited Yuuichi entered with a really big smile on his face, all he could do was stand there and have a huge sweat drop drop downwards on his head.
It had two stories. All throughout the house, the flooring was of ebony brown wood having a homey feeling to it.
The living room was spacious, had two soft auburn couches and one big sofa on the middle with a wide surround television on the middle. The bathroom had red marble flooring and the faucets were shining as if there wasn't any dirt or rust had come to it. It was also as wide as one whole room.
There was also the dining room accessorized with a brown rectangular shaped table with glass over it with matching brown chairs. The ceiling had a crystal chandelier on top. The kitchen was also huge, the flooring was covered with white smooth marble, the appliances were neatly cleaned, in placed and were accordingly matched on to what order the chef desired it too.
It was definitely a house that didn't seem to look like old people had been living in it. And it was definitely a house that didn't seem to look like a beach house. It seemed more like a mansion, in a guise of a beach house.
Yuuichi was all over the place looking around and taking in the luxury that is Ryou's grandparent's private beach house. Yuuichi was acting like a child who just got a new toy to play with, looking so cute and happy and Ryou couldn't help himself but be captivated by the older one's actions.
Finally realizing that Ryou was staring at him, he stopped and blushed because he was being observed by the other. Ryou, who also realized that he, indeed, was staring at his overly excited friend, blushed and found that looking at his left side was more interesting.
"Why am I blushing, it's only..." they both thought at the same time. Silence engulfed the two when finally a cough was heard behind Ryou. Both looked up to see none other than the butler.
"I apologize on intruding on your business, young masters, but dinner will be ready in 30 minutes. May I suggest that the two young masters, to wait in the living room until dinner is served..?" The butler said with his left hand pointing at the two couches by the living room and was gesturing for them to sit down on the couches.
"Oh, dinner... right... Yeah, okay..." Ryou mumbled and sat down on the sofa still thinking about why he was feeling really weird around the older boy.
Yuuichi also had the same problem but he managed to at least be courteous towards the butler and said thank you to him with a smile.
After saying what needs to be said, the butler bowed down to the two masters and left quickly as if he knew that being there is spoiling the two's private moments.
On the other hand, Ryou, who sat down on the sofa, was oblivious that the butler left them alone and that Yuuichi was now apparently sitting down next to him.
Yuuichi sat down next to Ryou and saw that the younger teen was deep in thought and didn't seem to notice his presence. Yuuichi also was perplexed at himself for he was rather sitting really close to Ryou considering that the couch was wide and spacious and why he didn't sit on the other two available sofas.
After a long while of contemplating, Yuuichi just brushed the idea off as another question popped into his head. That question played in his mind for a really long time ever since Ryou sent him that "card."
Yes, that "card" changed everything on their friendship. At least that's what Yuuichi thought. Sure it had meant that they'll be friends forever or something along the lines but it also had another meaning that Yuuichi wanted to avoid. However, it kept haunting him and wanted to know if Ryou thought of it too.
Deciding that this was the right time to ask him, he faced Ryou and called for his attention in a soft voice.
Ryou who now realized that Yuuichi was sitting next to him, rather close for him too but deciding to ignore that fact, was taken aback when Yuuichi had that look on his face.
"Yuuichi... Is there something wrong?" Ryou faced him with concern written on his face.
Then Yuuichi looked down, his eyes were wondering around and he was acting so nervous… "No…I was just wondering..." Yuuichi said.
"Hmm…?" Ryou said with his eyebrow raised and thought "Why does he look so nervous all of a sudden..?"
"May I ask... uhm…a question…?" Yuuichi stuttered and was now showing some red color across his face.
"What..?" Ryou said trying to not sound mad for Yuuichi might think that he's mad at him again.
"Well you see…I…Uh…" Yuuichi continued to stutter and mutter incoherent words.
"Yuuichi, could you make it louder..? I can't hear you." Ryou replied confused and leaned in more closer to hear him.
"WhydidyousendmethatpromisecardIknowyoumeantsitasjustfriendsbuttomemaybeitmeantsomethingelseohwellmaybeit'sjustmeIdon'tknowI'mconfused!" He suddenly blurted out.
"….Could you say it a little more slowly...? I didn't catch that." Ryou said blinking.
Yuuichi blushed and decided to look at the floor becoming silent for awhile. Ryou who noticed it asked again "Yuuichi, what was it that you want to ask me..?"
After composing himself from that embarrassing moment, he sighed and then looked up and smiled at Ryou. "Never mind… forget I asked anything…"
Ryou stared at him and then sighed. "It's alright to ask me anything whether it be personal or not, I won't get mad so don't force yourself to smile." He looked at Yuuichi directly and continued. "Your mouth maybe smiling but your eyes never lie. Smile if you feel happy and not because there's a need to."
Yuuichi stared at him wide eyed and thought "When was Ha-I mean Ryou this philosophical..?"
Ryou who noticed that Yuuichi was silent sighed again. "S-Sorry…. I just thought that..."
"No, it's okay, Ryou!" Yuuichi finally replied "You're probably right... I guess I do smile too often."
"I didn't mean it that way..!" Ryou said and looked to the side. "I just meant you should smile when you're really happy…! You know, as in happy…!" Ryou looked sheepish and was now scratching the back of his head.
After seeing Ryou's little antics, he couldn't help himself but to laugh making Ryou a little bit annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Ryou, but you just looked so….Haha…!" Yuuichi continued to laugh.
"….Che..." Ryou looked to the side but glanced to see Yuuichi laughing truly and not one of his fake ones. As soon as he saw Yuuichi laughing, he forgot his anger and was slowly replaced with a smile on his face.
