-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayase didn't understand what was wrong. What was so bad about being pregnant? And why would her dad and boyfriend even hit her for that reason? No, being a parent always was his dream since he never had them and he never wanted his children to feel like he did.
"…Otona-chan… I don't…" he started but every word came out as a sighing little sound.
"…What is it Ayase-chan…" Otona sniffed, still in the little boys arms and feeling really comforted in those.
"What's so bad about becoming a mother?" unbelievingly she lowered her grip around Ayase.
"…What's so bad about becoming pregnant?" she repeated. "Ayase, I'm eighteen! My life just needs to get started! My boyfriend just became twenty! Our carriers haven't even begun yet and I already have the problem that my family only has money for me! I don't even earn enough for myself! How should I ever be able to pay for a baby!"
"But… being a mom is great!"
"Really? Have you ever seen my mother? I don't think it is so great!"
"…I don't… what…?" Otona sniffed again giving Ayase a disappointed smile.
"My mom gets beaten every day by my dad… ever since she got me. And when she isn't home it is my turn. You get that? When I'm alone… somehow my boyfriend appears and he… replaces my dad." she started to cry again and Ayase was speechless. He wanted to hug her, apologize and even wanted to kill her boyfriend. He still thought having a baby should be the best time of your life but being punched by your father and boyfriend because of the baby? Why would they?
"Otona-chan…" he started.
"I know right." she interrupted. "Who the hell dates a guy that hits her. Well… first of all. When I met him he was kind and he always tells me that he loves me… and I believe him. He does love me Aya-chan! How do you feel when Kanou-san hugs you…?" Ayase knew he had to answer but… that was totally different! Kanou-san did never hit him!
"Otona… Kanou-san never…" with a flexible gesture she made clear he had to stop talking. She threw a hand in her face and cried on.
"I don't know what to do… I can't go home, I can't go to my boyfriend, I don't want the baby but I don't have the money for abortion and… I got fired because I'm pregnant… so I'm…" Ayase hugged his best friend, not knowing what to say. He didn't know any solution… she was alone. No. She wasn't alone.
"Otona-chan… you can live in my apartment." The girl looked up and he smiled at her.
"What? With you and Kanou-kun? No way, I'm not planning on living with that dude forever…" Ayase laughed at her words.
"No, at my apartment. Before I knew Kanou, I lived somewhere too."
"…You still have that place…?"
"It has everything in it. Bed, kitchen, bathroom… you don't have to pay any rent until you find a job." for the first time that day a smile appeared on the girl's face. "I don't know what to do with your baby, I can't pay the abortion but… no matter what. If you decide to keep it, I'll always be there for you and the child. Promised." she held Ayase close and whispered soft words in his ear.
"Thank you Ayase-chan… thank you so much…" he sighed deeply and held her back. Although it all sounded wonderful out of his mouth, he knew there still was one problem. The apartment didn't belong to him anymore, so making deals about living in there without paying rent was not for him to decide. The only person who could or could not let Otona stay was Kanou-san. And if he had to convince him, he would probably need to go through a lot of effort.
"Otona-chan, lets go home. I want to… get out of the ladies room." he whispered. Otona began to laugh and let go of Ayase.
"Sure… we can talk about the baby." Ayase was glad she made that proposal herself. He'd love to talk about it after all. Maybe she already thought of names… no, she would have a lot on her mind right now and thinking about names wasn't one of it. He slowly got up and helped Otona up too. All of a sudden her smile disappeared of her face and she looked rather pale.
"…What's wrong…?"
"…I think I'm going to…" Ayase looked at her with a not-understanding look and she turned away to run into a toilet to vomit. Ayase step closer to the door and waited until she was finished.
"You okay?" he asked once she got out of the toilet. Her face had a little more colour and she smiled.
"I guess that was normal." she said.
"I guess it proves that you really are pregnant." Ayase said approvingly. She sighed. The little blond took her hand and gave her a supporting look. "I'm here for you." he pinched her hand and felt happy when she pinched back. After that they slowly walked out of the ladies room heading outside of the school.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The blue eyed boy waited outside of the gates now and took out his mobile. He was about to enter Kanou's number when he realised he probably had a lot of work (and of course he would probably think Ayase wanted to continue the game of this morning) so he entered another number. The phone beeped several times and a low voice picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Kuba-san, it's Ayase."
"O, hi Aya…"
"NO! Don't say my name out loud!!"
"…O…sorry?"
"Is Kanou-san looking?"
"Yes… at the moment he is looking pretty suspicious…" Kuba whispered softly.
"Just tell him you have to go… shopping and pick me up."
"Shopping?"
"…okay…make up with something…"
"Okay…Shachou?" Ayase heard Kanou talking on the backgrounds. "Can I go visit my brother since he's sick today." What? Misao was sick? That's weird. He's never been sick before… "It has been a long time since he's been sick so… he calls now and asks me to visit him and bring him… a piece of meat." Again Kanou's voice replied but Ayase could not make out what he was saying. Kuba-san was a bad liar, but he did this for Ayase. He was too kind.
"All right, I'm out of the office but I have to be back in an hour, so, where are you?"
"Thank you Kuba-san." the other side of the line was quit and Otona appeared from behind the bushes, her hair was even more terrible than it was before and she swallowed. Ayase smiled.
"You're welcome." Kuba answered all of a sudden which made Ayase jump with a shock.
"We're at school." Ayase said suddenly.
" 'We'? What do you mean 'we'?"
"Well…Otona-chan and me."
"Is that why Kanou-shachou wasn't allowed to know." actually, that wasn't the reason, the biggest reason was the clothes-game of this morning, but Kuba-san did not have to know that.
"Yes, that's why."
"I'll be there right away." and with that Kuba's phone was closed. Ayase closed his mobile too and watched Otona, who looked pale again.
"You okay?" the blue eyed boy asked sweetly.
"Sure… who was that on the phone?"
"Kuba-san, he'll be here in twenty minutes."
"He'll come and get us?"
"Yep! So… how're you… feeling?"
"Sick. Tired and happy to be having a friend like you. I'm glad I met you Ayase. Else, I would've been living on the streets right now." she looked serious, which made it like a best friends moment. The blue eyes just staring at each-other. She held Ayase's hand. "Thank you." the small boy smiled and was shocked to see her cry again.
"…Wh…" he started but he couldn't mention any understandable word.
"I'm scared…" they stared in each other's eyes again. "…I'm so scared, Ayase." she fell in his arms and he held her tightly.
"Don't worry! You'll be fine!! You'll be fine… I promise." she stopped crying and wiped her tears of, trying to forget she just cried and smiled. Ayase nodded at that. She was a wonderful girl. She could suppress all her tears, something he couldn't even imagine doing. She sighed deeply.
"Okay. Another subject."
"How far are you?" Ayase asked at the same time as mentioned 'another subject'.
"…Three months… the baby already starts growing… so anyway, I'm not allowed to do abortion anymore now."
"What about… names?"
"…I… I always liked… Nizu for a girl…"
"And a boy?" she looked at Ayase.
"Okay, now, I don't want you to freak out…"
"What? Tell me!"
"Well… at first I liked Sunao for a boy but…"
"…but what…"
"Well than I met you…"
"You're going to call it Ayase?"
"No… I'm going to call it…uhm… well… I like Kanou…" Ayase chuckled. Just the thought of 'little baby Kanou' made him smile. How cute!! In imagination he saw a little boy looking just like Kanou-san, but only with his mothers blue eyes.
"Kanou?" He saw the baby acting like Kanou-san, beating some strangers. Telling his mom he had a lover, asking her what sex was…
"Well, yeah! Stop laughing at me!" Otona said, her face red and she looked rather annoyed at Ayase's laughter.
"I'm sorry!" Ayase said, wiping the tears out of his eyes and trying to control his laughter.
"Would you mind?" Otona asked when she noticed Ayase had calmed down.
"No… I don't think so, I mean… it is your baby!"
"Yes… well… you're probably right." she held Ayase's hand. "Can we now switch to another subject?"
"How does 'Kuba-san-has-arrived' sound?" the girl looked at him not understanding but than turned to the limo behind them. Kuba got out. He wore sunglasses and his black hair was floating in the wind. He smiled at Ayase and took of his sunglasses. The dark eyes stared at him and glanced at Otona once in a while.
"You'd better hurry!" he yelled from the other side of the road. "I have to be back there in forty minutes!" the blond boy smiled, took the hand of the black haired girl and ran over the street.
"Thank you, Kuba-san!" he said. Kuba smiled and than looked at the girl. "Hello." he said.
"…Hi Kuba-san…" Otona whispered. Her face turned red when she saw his face. They just stared at each other and Ayase felt a happy aura between them.
"Can we go?"
"Yes… okay." he said and he opened the door of the passengers seat.
"Thank you, Kuba-san." Ayase said, getting into the car. He watched him smile at Otona and the girl sat right behind him, giving him the most beautiful smile she had giving him the whole day.
"You know… shachou is going to kill me if he finds out." the bigger man said.
"…Yes… I know… and I'm sorry for bringing you into trouble."
"Don't be. I kind off understand why you didn't call Kanou-shacou… he's acting pretty strange…"
"What do you mean?"
"Like… laughing all the time… giving me compliments about my work… do you have any idea what could be the cause of that?"
"…" Ayase could not mention a word. Maybe it was of the game of this morning… or that they would continue it tonight… It could also be last nights… you know…but saying something like that to Kuba-san? No way. "I… I don't know." he lied.
"He also told me that… something wonderful happened the night before." Ayase looked up and noticed that the person behind him looked up too.
"That's right… last night!" she said. "So did he come home last night? What happened? Did I do a good job or what?" she winked at the now blushing blond person.
"…Nothing! I… he just… said sorry." he looked outside the window and saw the confused reflection of the driver.
"… So he's in a good mood because he said sorry…?"
No. "Yes."
"… So… he only said sorry? Nothing more? No sex?" both Ayase and Kuba turned around at the girl.
"Wh… Otona-chan?!" Ayase's face looked even more flustered than it did before.
"Answer me! Did you or did you not have sex. It's a simple question! Say yes or no!"
"…Yes…" meanwhile Kuba already turned since he had to drive.
"I knew it! I'm so good… so… now back to Kuba's question. What could be the reason that he's so happy? Well, the answer is: 'good sex with Ayase!'." because of the shock Kuba almost hit a tree.
"No! That is not it!" Ayase quickly said."
"Then what is…?"
"…I don't know…" Ayase was thinking. What could be the reason why he was so happy? There was nothing different about last night and the nights before… it was all just the same… hugging, kissing, …you know…, and… the money… the money! That was it! Ayase did not want the money last night! That made him happy! "Yes! I do know!" he screamed, which made Kuba almost hit a tree again.
"Okay! Now can both of you stop with surprising me?! I'm driving!"
"…Sorry, Kuba-san…" Ayase whispered ashamed.
"Go on! Tell!" Otona said, ignoring the man's request.
"… I… didn't want him to… pay me…"
"Pay you?"
"…Yes, pay me."
"What? You said you belonged to him… so why does he pay you?"
"…In order to pay back the debt he made by buying me."
"…O…" The whole car was quit. Maybe Otona was processing what she had just heard so Ayase sighed deeply leaning against the chair and feeling a stabbing pain in his belly. With a shock he sat up, searching where the pain came from. Something was in his pocket.
"Aya-chan? What's wrong?" Otona asked, but he ignored her. He put his hand in his pocket and felt something small. He got it out slowly. A familiar little cross sat in there with a padlock on the back. It was the earring he had in his ear when Tokikawa kidnapped him. The earring with which Kanou found him… the one and only earring with the wiretap and transmitter. He groaned softly. Kuba looked at him and his eyes slipped to the little peace of metal in his hands. He looked shocked and Ayase could make out a scared look in his eyes. Which made it all clear. Kuba understood it too. Kanou had heard every little detail of their conversation.
