Author's Note: It's a little late to be up when I have to go to school but I took a nap today anyway.

Misaki was on vacation. A well deserved vacation. I felt like going on vacation myself. Takano's advances only got worse and worse as time went on. This week was even worse with everyone so busy. I got groped in the elevator, kissed near the vending machine, and I hand stuck down my pants in the bathroom. Each time I managed to get away, but it wouldn't be long now. I made a vow to myself. I wasn't going to give in so easily.

Lately I'd been distracted from my work. Whether I was worrying about Takano or Misaki, my head was always full of unnecessary thoughts. Getting to work was becoming a tedious task because it required clearing my brain of all previous knowledge to get something simple done. Now that Misaki wasn't around I ran more errands and had too much time by myself.

I was glad he'd be back tomorrow. A two day vacation wasn't much, but when you were Usami Akihiko I guess that was all you could afford. My phone was full of Misaki's pictures of Marimo and expensive hotels. I had to admit I was jealous, but I was also happy for him. I was glad for the distance. I didn't know what to say about his whole situation. I pushed the elevator a couple times and waited.

Aikawa was in the elevator whistling to herself. "Hello, Onodera-kun." Aikawa was a pretty girl. It still shocked me to know she rejected almost everyone who confessed to her. Even her getting older didn't stop the constant confessions she got. If I liked girls Aikawa would be my type.

"Good morning, Aikawa-san." I stepped in the elevator. "So...have you talked to Misaki?"

"Yeah, he's actually on his way home now. I don't know why they are leaving a bit early, but it sure is lonely around here without Misaki-kun." I could agree to that.

"You really seem to like him." Aikawa stared at me for a minute.

"Well...uh...he's just so...sweet!" Aikawa always made me suspicious of her. Stepping into the lobby I saw Misaki entering talking excitedly to Usagi.

"Misaki!" I waved. He ran over. "Why are you back so early?" An annoyed Akihiko appeared next to him.

"Well...he is supposed to go with Todo to buy Kyo Ijuuin's new book and get it signed." Kyo Ijuuin worked here...

"Misaki he works here. You could do that at any point." Misaki nodded.

"The thing is I promised Todo." He looked well rested now, and less worried than he was before. Relaxation does wonders. If I had the time to I would. "I got you something." He handed me a fish bowl with a marimo in it.

"They're the fairies of the lake." It was the only time I'd ever seen Akihiko excited. He actually looked a little cute. Maybe that was Misaki's motivation. I just nodded and acted like I cared. The last thing I needed was something to take care of.

"You can tell me all about you trip. I have lunch soon." I delivered all the papers I needed to and made my way outside. Misaki was already sitting on a bench waiting. I could see Takano from a distance talking to someone. I wish things could be as easy for us as it was for normal couples, but we weren't a couple so it didn't matter. "So how'd it go?"

"It was fun to be somewhere that no one knows you. No one could say anything to us. I mean we did run into some rude people, but other than that it was okay." Misaki was playing with a string on his pants. "We got to spend a lot of time together and go lots of places and get marimo."

"But you still miss your brother." He didn't say anything. "It's not wrong to."

"I just miss how it used to be before Nii-chan found out about everything. I always wanted to tell him myself so it wouldn't be so much of a shock. I knew it would change our relationship though. I didn't know how much." My family didn't know anything of my being gay. They never asked who I was dated or when I was getting married. We weren't so close.

"My family doesn't know." Misaki looked up. I hadn't said anything to him yet, but now I had someone I could talk to. "You're the first person I told besides the guy I like."

"You have a boyfriend?" I liked Misaki. He would talk about his own problems, but he was also a good listener. I told him stories about my family and high school. He would always give me advice or just listen if I needed him to. It was new because I had closed myself up for so long.

"It's more complicated than that." This story might take more than my lunch. "You know Takano. Well, his last name was Saga in high school. I liked him back then. For awhile we went out." I couldn't help but laugh at Misaki's expression. "It's not so shocking Misaki. I mean you somehow got a guy every woman wants to be with, makes tons of money, and is ten years older than you. I think that is more shocking."

"I never thought of it that way." His face was slowly turning red. "Just continue your story."

"Well, a big misunderstanding spread us apart. I asked Takano how he felt about me and he laughed. I thought he was playing around with him. He claims I kicked him and ran away even though that part is a little hazy, and that he only laughed because he was nervous. He told me that he was going to make me love him again." Misaki looked like he was thinking hard about something.

"That's really romantic in a way. I can see why you wouldn't want to just jump into things. Takano reminds me a bit of Usagi-san." What? How? "You see when I first met Usagi-san I woke him up. He's the kind of demon person you see on tv when he gets woken up. I guess you could say our relationship started with...this is going to sound bad..."

"Just say it." Misaki always made me curious. He was so innocent, but not at the same time. He really seemed like he didn't know what he was doing ever, but he was also capable.

"Harassment...maybe molestation is the word..." What? He was serious. "Either way I didn't go chasing after him or anything. He is always talking about the same thing Takano-san said though. He is going to make me love him and I'll never want anyone else in my life. All that stuff." How could he say all of this normally? "Onodera-san just do what you think is the best. If you still love Takano-san give him another chance, but don't jump into anything. If you don't...he's just going to have to realize it."

Author's Note: I just wanted to say I really feel like a dork. If anyone knows the song Right Now by Psy it recently got added to the Kpop section on demand. I played it like ten times today while singing every word of the song. I then realized I knew the dance sequence...yeah. New song on the website? I think so.
