Here we go! Part three up and ready for those who seek Yaoi~ ENGOY! \(O¬O)/
The moment the doors had opened he stepped out of the lift and took steady fast strides in the direction of the break room.
Each person he had past had moved to the side and gave vague but curios glances his way, it was clearly obvious that it had already gotten around, Henmi or not.
"I can't really say that i'm surprised, those two have been leaving and entering work together for well over a year now," a random voice from behind the corner he was approaching caught his attention.
"I know! I know! They were even seen with a young girl a few times as well!" another voice made itself known, its tone making them sound extremely suggestive.
Felling his blood boil at the half told accusation he quickly turned the corner to face the two only to stop at who he saw standing there with a big grin, already facing his way.
"Ryūichirō- san?" Yokozawa questioned in annoyed astonishment, relived at it being the immature senior managing director but still being quite peeved at the man for what he had said.
"Ahhh! If it isn't the adorable bear of the sales department!" Isaka joked with a small pat to Yokozawa's back, his obvious attempt at pretending that he hadn't known that he was coming his way succeeding in aggravating him.
"Ryūichirō- san this isn't a matter to joke about, much less exaggerate it to such an extent," he sighed in complaint at his superiors teasing.
Isaka pouted at him and let out a big sigh of his own, all the while moving to his side and resting an arm around Yokozawa's shoulder putting the man in an uncomfortable position.
"No need to be so stiff!" Isaka almost yelled going to lean his mouth closer to the others ear, "I'm just curious, has he pushed you down before?"
Isaka's voice was bellow a whisper and sent a disturbing shiver down the taller man's back, causing him to retract from the close contact with a fast motion.
"Don't fuck around!" Yokozawa yelled with a distressed and red expression, doing his best to avoid looking at the twisted man in front of him.
Silence took over for a few moments before curiosity and confusion caused Yokozawa to look at Isaka and flinch, the man's face and the small amount of people looking their way making him freeze.
"S...Sorry," Isaka apologized with a look of regret and a small chuckle, "Guess the rumors were true,"
Before Yokozawa had come out of his small trance Isaka had already gone along with the witnesses, all most likely of gotten the wrong impression.
Yokozawa cursed and raised a fist to hit the wall only to stop it half way and instead move it to his pocket to take out his phone to send a quick warning to his partner that he very much consent to.
[Ryūichirō- san pushed me into getting annoyed, I might of accidentally raised suspicion of you being forceful] he quickly typed with urgency and pressed enter.
Nodding to himself he was about to put the devise back into his pocket when it buzzed in this hand, notifying him of a text.
Looking it back over he saw that it was a reply from Kirishima about his last text, he was usually quick to reply but the speed of that text meant that he must of already of had his phone in his hand prior to receiving his text.
[I thought I was forceful ;P ] The jokey text had him becoming more annoyed, it wasn't a time to be acting all smug.
Yokozawa kissed his teeth and began walking towards his initial destination while holding his phone in his right hand.
[Do you value your job? What are we going to do if it reaches harassment affairs?] He sent and waited for the reply.
[I'll use my charm on Yuki- chan to get us out of it] his once again speedy reply joked.
[Wanaba- san took over after she became pregnant you idiot!]
[Then you can charm him in my stead, I bet he's probably sitting in his room stroking a cat in anticipation]
[What are you telling the man you're involved with?!]
[ 3 Love you too Taka- chan, got to go our two most reliable authors are dishing it out in the main lobby over our new helper Takahashi- kun]
The final message had his agitation towards the man dissipate and his worry lowered at how calm and collected he was being.
"Idiot," he hummed finally putting his phone away and looked up to see that he had nearly walked past the break room.
Looking into the glass door he could clearly see Henmi cornered by the coffee machine by a crowd of Shōnen ai editors, some of them surprisingly being male.
Shaking his head in preparation he extended his hands, pushed the doors open and stepped into the room with a strict expression.
"Maybe he's a masochist?!" one of the women yelled in question turning to face another one, her change of direction putting him in her view.
"Yokozawa- san!?" the woman gasped in shock her face going from one of horror to a look of excitement.
Taken back by the woman's face he felt his body sink when it was met by many others, regret was beginning to make him want to turn and run.
"Henmi! Get back to our floor and wait for me to get an official!" he ordered making the smaller man pale and start out in a sprint while shouting apologies behind him.
Once he had gone Yokozawa went to face the crowed again and glared at them, trying his best to be intimidated.
"Don't go around spreading false rumors, especially not once that dire," he said in a lowered voice, "Nothing about my relationship with Kirishima- san is forced and any who claim as much will be severely punished"
Once finished with his small speech he went to turn to leave but stopped once he heard a tsk from one of the tallest men in the group.
"Pity, you seem like the kind who would easily be forced," The man sighed with arm gestures to the side and a strange blush to his cheeks.
Creeped out by the man Yokozawa quickly made his leave trying to forget the strange encounter with a blank expression.
He decided that it would be best to scold Henmi for now and then leave people like 'that' to Kirishima.
His trip back to the lifts were much more uneventful and he had made it back to his floor and back to his work area with only a few glances.
Stopping at the entry way to the cubical he looked in, the place was empty for all except Henmi and Takano.
Yokozawa blinked at his friend's presents before remembering that he had requested to talk to him, giving himself a mental push he readied himself to confront the two and make them aware that he was very much in love with Kirishima…..
This was going to be a lot harder then he thought.
