Last chapter: "Fine." He leaned forward, and Akira followed his lead, their lips meeting in the middle. Akira's hand went to Shuji's cheek. He couldn't stop himself, and Shuji deepened the kiss. They soon broke it due to lack of air.
"There, that wasn't so hard now, was it Shuji?" Mariko asked.
"Shut up." He said to her, but he was smiling. The three all laughed at him.

After school Shuji and Akira went to Akira's apartment to change for his father's meeting. They were dressed quickly and were soon at the meeting. Akira's father's secretary let them in and showed them where to sit. They did as they were told, and started to chat before everyone else arrived.
"Where are we going after this, Shuji-kun?" Akira asked, remembering that Shuji had said he wanted to take him out.
"It's a surprise." He smirked. At that moment other people began to come in, and Akira's father took a seat next to his son.
"Welcome, everyone, to this meeting. I would first like to introduce my son, Akira, who has come of age today. Hopefully in the future he will learn lots and take over the family business." Akira frowned at this while everyone clapped and congratulated him. His father knew he didn't want to do that, and they had discussed it last year. Was this all a trap to get him to join his father's company?
The rest of the meeting was boring. Akira drew pictures on his note paper he was provided with. He showed them to Shuji and Shuji tried not to laugh. They were mostly of little bunnies, hearts, flowers, and bad pictures of him and Akira together. Finally the meeting finished and the two were free to go do their own thing.
"Akira, just a word before you go." His father called out before they could leave.
"I'll wait for you out here." Shuji said, letting Akira go back to talk to his father.
"Kon?" Akira asked, holding up his hand sign.
"I was not very happy with your behaviour in this meeting. Drawing pictures on note pads are not acceptable when in real meetings."
"I don't want to take over the company." Akira replied.
"I know that, but at least show a little interest." Akira didn't reply but instead just turned back around.
"Shuji-kun and I are going out."
"Akira." Akira paused and looked at his father.
"Happy Birthday, my Son. I hope you and Shuji have fun tonight." Akira nodded then left, joining up with Shuji.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"Nothing. Let's go, Shuji-kun!" Shuji smiled and they held hands as they left the company building.

Shuji first took Akira back to his apartment where they changed. They then went to the restaurant that Shuji had booked.
"Wow! It's so nice!" Akira exclaimed, looking around at the outside eating area of the restaurant. There were fairy lights and beautiful gardens around the tables. Soft violin music was playing in the background. Shuji smiled as he looked at Akira's face.
"I'm glad you like it. Here is our seat." They sat down and ordered from the waitress that was walking around. Shuji had a lasagne while Akira had spaghetti carbonara. Once they finished eating, Akira was about to order some desert, when Shuji stopped him.
"Eh? Shuji-kun? I want some desert!" Akira complained.
"And you will get desert, but not here. Come on." Shuji stood up and paid for the meal then took Akira down the street.
"Where are we going, Shuji-kun?" Akira asked, walking a couple paces behind Shuji.
"You'll see." Shuji replied. He turned around and smiled at Akira. His hand reached out and grabbed Akira's, linking their fingers together as they walked down the street together. "Here we are."
The two stopped out the front of the ferris wheel, but when Akira started to get in line, Shuji stopped him.
"I thought you wanted desert?" Akira nodded. Shuji walked over to the ice-cream stand next to the ferris wheel and ordered two ice-creams. He turned back to Akira and gave one to him.
"Thank you." Akira said, licking his chocolate flavoured ice-cream happily. They got in line and were soon in the ferris wheel, going around and around. Akira marvelled at the wonderful sight of the city all lit up around them. He pointed out places he could recognise around them. Shuji smiled at him, glad that he could make the person he treasured most in the world happy.
"I love you, Akira." Akira turned away from the window and replied.
"I love Shuji-kun too!" They shared a kiss. It was sweet and full of emotion, but was cut short as the ferris wheel jolted suddenly. Akira, being the clumsy person he was, fell, pushing Shuji back against the glass window. Once they steadied themselves, they smiled at each other and kissed again, not wanting this wonderful moment to end.
Their ride ended shortly and as they were walking away from the ferris wheel, Akira stopped Shuji for a moment, their hands still linked.
"Thank you, Shuji-kun, for a wonderful birthday!" He leant in and gave Shuji a kiss of gratitude.
"You're welcome, Akira." He kissed him back quickly then continued walking. He had had a really great night, and was enjoying his time with Akira.
