Takato was busying himself with one of the manuscripts he had gotten whole Kou was making a late lunch for the two to enjoy when there was a sudden ping on his phone that caught his attention. Picking up his phone he he brought up a lock screen.
He was surprised to see that he had gotten a message from Aki that had an attachment on it. Putting in the pass code for his phone, he clicked on the text message causing the attachment to start downloading.
"Damn it! I can't believe he actually managed to do it!" Takato's sudden exclamation had Kou poking his head out of the kitchen to see what was going.
"You cannot believe who managed to do what?" He asked causing his friend to motion him to come over from where he stood to see what the other was looking at.
Kou's eyes widened at the sight of the picture that was on Takato's phone that Aki had sent to them.
The mangaka had sent a picture of himself and Asami in Hokkaido. Takaba was standing next to Asami with his characteristic mischievous grin on his face, he held a snowball in one hand while making a peace sign with the other. The older man stood next to him, standing with an 'at ease posture' amusement shone in his eyes while he had a mixture of a smirk and half smile barely noticeable on his face.
The most shocking thing about the picture however was what was resting on top of Asami's head or rather over his ears. Him and Takaba were both wearing cat ear mufflers. The ears on the older man's were of a pitch black color, which somehow gave him a more predatory look. While the mangaka's were a soft white, giving him a much more innocent look.
"I cannot believe he actually managed to pull that off." Takato told the other, disbelief evident in his voice.
"Well it is Aki." Kou said with a shrug as he continued to stare down at the picture. "But I guess that this means since you lost the Bet. You owe him" the editor groaned when his friend said, but he knew it was.
He had made the bet with Takaba thinking that for sure there was no way the mangaka could win this bet this time, but obviously he was wrong, which was now going to cost him the price dinner and a night of drinks, and oh boy could Takaba eat when he was hungry.
Sighing with a slight shake of his head, Takato was getting to shut his phone back off so he could go back to focusing on work; when for the first time since looking at the picture he noticed the text that was written below it.
"P.S. I'm going to kill you when I get back!" The editor silently read the message, chuckling slightly, of course the mangaka would quickly realize that he was part of the reason as to why he and Asami were stuck on a two week honeymoon together.
as far as Takato was concerned the two week trip was for the greater good, because he was certain it would help further the relationship between the boy and the older man. So Takato would have no regrets, except for the large he was certain would be burned into his pocket once the mangaka was back.
Hello my lovely fans. I apologize that these first three chapters have been rather short, but this has just all been for the setup before the real story starts.
I think that some of you may already have a good guess who this new mangaka that was briefly messaged in the other chapter is. He'll be coming back to join us next chapter. Much fun to come I assure you my sweet patient fans
