Yukina grabbed his hand again. "I had-have an older brother and we were all a close family. We would have dinner every sunday." Kisa caught his mistake. He wondered how old Yukina really was and how long he has been an angel and how he died. He was close to just telling Yukina he knew when he remembered what he told himself to do. I can't be with him. "Ah, it's getting late. Kisa-san can I walk you home?"
"Sure." It was a short walk, not giving Kisa a lot of time to mentally prepare himself for the 'let's be friends' talk. "This is a nice place." Yukina commented on the building. "How long have you lived here?"
"I moved a few months after I got Misaki. I was living in a single room before and decided to get a bigger space." Kisa sighed, "Look, Yukina..."
"THERE YOU ARE!" The two jumped and turned, Kisa gasping as Shinobu and Misaki stood in front of the doors. "IT'S 11 O CLOCK MISTER, CURFEW WAS AT 10." The two tried to keep straight faces but after a minute they busted out laughing. Kisa glared at them. "What are you two doing up?"
They walked over. "We wanted to see Yukina." They looked to him. "Hi, Kisa Misaki and Takatsuki Shinobu." Misaki introduced them. Kisa held his breath for a moment when Yukina smiled. "Yukina Kou. It's nice to meet you."
Shinobu was eyeing him. "Nice to meet you too." His eyes changed and Kisa dreaded what he was thinking. "What are you doing tomorrow night?"
"Shinobu..." "Nothing."
Misaki smiled. "Great, tomorrow we are making dinner so you should come."
"You can say no." Kisa urged. He was going to kill these boys. Yukina smiled, "Sure, I'd love too."
"GREAT!" The boys smiled but Kisa knew those smiles were to be feared. "We are in apartment 43 on the third floor. Be there at 7 pm tomorrow."
"Sounds like fun." "You have school tomorrow." Kisa put his hands on his hips. "And you want to talk about curfew, Shinobu you two had enough sleepovers this week. I am not about to get a text from a certain someone again, wondering where you are." Shinobu rolled his eyes as Misaki chuckled. "It's been two night."
"GET UPSTAIRS NOW."
"See ya tomorrow Yukina." The two took off into the door. Kisa groaned, rubbing his forehead. "Sorry. I should have known they would do something like this."
"So that's Misaki?" Kisa nodded. "He looks so cute." Kisa chuckled. "Yeah he was but then he met Shinobu and that all went downhill."
Yukina laughed, "So, Shinobu and him are best friends?" Kisa nodded. "I had lunch with my neighbor and he was there. Misaki gave him advice on how to cook and ever since those two have been partners in crime. It sucks for me though." Kisa felt his phone buzz and looked down to see a text from Misaki.
'Hurry up and kiss goodnight-M'
"Annoying." Yukina leaned over to read. "And that is my..." He looked up when Yukina moved his neck to give Kisa a kiss on his cheek. Kisa froze up when Yukina pulled back. "Just doing what Misaki said." Yukina teased.
Kisa did not know what to say. His cheeks were bright red and he was wondering how Yukina could just do that and then smile like it is no big deal. "Uh, see you tomorrow."
"Okay. Goodnight Kisa-san." It took a second for Kisa to be able to move his legs and stiffly walked into the apartments. Going inside he was greeted with Misaki holding a large smile on his face. "Sooooo did you kiss?"
Kisa narrowed his eyes, the blush still on his face. "I...you...uh…go to bed." Misaki laughed. "You did kiss!"
"Only on the cheek." Kisa quickly replied. "Are you done tormenting me?"
"Never." Figures. "I'm happy though." Misaki walked over and grabbed his hand. "And you are happy too Kisa-nii. I have a good feeling about Yukina." If only Kisa could tell him that they could never happen. He was human and Yukina was an angel. "So what did you guys do?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow. You do have school." Misaki pouted but said his goodnight and went to bed. Kisa sat on the couch, trying to calm his heart down.
...
Yukina was on cloud nine. His heart was bouncing all over without no way to contain it. His smile felt as if it was painted on his face. He swear he was skipping. He was falling for Kisa. He was falling hard. "Yukina you're blinding me." Akihiko mumbled, putting his hands up to cover his eyes. "Take that sparkly smile somewhere else."
"I can't help it. I think I'm in love." Yukina felt so giddy.
"This was the second time meeting up with this man." Takano pointed out. "Falling kind of fast don't you think?"
Yukina shook his head. "The heart knows and will always yearn for Kisa."
Ritsu chuckled, "Seriously we are not living in a shoujo manga book."
"Well I think it's sweet." Nowaki defended him. "It is just like Hiro-san and I."
Hiroki rolled his eyes. "You are nuts. What will you do when we have to go back to Aessa?" Nowaki glared at him as Yukina smiled. "I'll still visit him."
Akihiko took a sip of his coffee. "And what about the fact he will age into an old man?"
"It won't matter to me." Akihiko smirked. "And what about when he dies?"
Yukina was ready for this, having thought about it the whole night. "Staying next to Kisa-san then I can be there when he dies. We can see spirits so maybe I can follow him into Aessa and then talk to the higher ups about allowing Kisa to be with us. Isaka's understandable. I'm sure he'll allow him."
"You know that will be difficult. Angels usually lose sight of the spirit they try to follow through the journey to Aessa."
"I have faith." Hiroki shook his head, not believing. "I can."
"That is if Kisa is human. Remember he is friends with Miyagi." Takano brought up. Yukina gasped, remembering something. "I forgot to ask him that."
Ritsu grunted. "How would you ask someone that?"
"I did meet Takastuki Shinobu, Miyagi's lover. He is best friends with Misaki and Kisa said they met when he was having dinner at his neighobrs so I assume Miyagi is his neighbor. He did not look as if he knew me so I do not think Miyagi told him about us."
"Should we just ask Miyagi if they are angels? I'm sure he'll tell us."
Hiroki sighed, "I don't know if he would. If Kisa is a fallen angel he may be keeping the information about Yukina so he does not scare Kisa." Yukina kind of hoped Kisa was a fallen angel. If that was the case he could easily go down to see him and Yukina felt he would even go through a Judgement Circle so the two could be together. Hiroki sat up. "For now I'll let you continue this 'thing' but mostly because we need more information. The capital's group has been through Mitsuhashi and the one hostage is not talking so right now we are stuck with no leads on who is responsible for the kidnapping and killings."
"Try and get information out of Takatsuki Shinobu," Akihiko suggested. "His father is the dean and if this happened at his school then there may be a chance the family is part of this."
"The old guy did seem fishy when we questioned him."
Yukina nodded, smiling again. "I'll ask then tomorrow night when I go eat over at Kisa-san's place." They all gasped. "Yes. It was so cute. When I dropped Kisa-san off Shinobu and Misaki were waiting, wanting to see me, and then Misaki invited me to dinner with them, tomorrow."
"Our little Yukina is growing up so big." Takano wiped a fake tear and everyone started laughing. "Now if only Akihiko would do the same."
Akihiko glared. They all knew Akihiko hated this conversation. Yukina heard the story that Akihiko thought he was in love with Takahiro but the moment he found his Manami Akihiko came to terms that it was just admiration he felt and so decided not to fall in love. At least until he started have the strange dreams about the silent boy. "Leave me out of this."
"Akihiko already found his one love. It's the boy in his dreams." Nowaki said, getting up to head to the kitchen. It was his turn to make dinner.
Takano chuckled, "I still think it is just your imagination. You've seen this boy for what? Two years? And none of you have even tried to say something?"
"I feel something holding my lips together and we never have enough time." He mumbled.
"What does he look like?" Ritsu asked from the kitchen.
Akihiko thought about it. "Brown spiked hair, big, bright green eyes. Innocent-looking" Yukina was listening when he realized that was sounding awfully familiar. "Hold on." He ran upstairs to his room and grabbed his sketch pad. Sitting at his desk he furiously drew on a blank page, remembering that boy's face. Ten minutes later he ran out with everyone giving him strange looks.
Yukina held up his sketch and Akihiko's went wide and he dropped the unlit cigarette inbetween his fingers. "Is this him?"
Akihiko took the sketch from him. "Yes! H-How? Where?" The whole group was crowding over, looking at the sketch of the smiling boy. "That's Kisa Misaki, Kisa-san's adoptive son."
"Small world." Hiroki scratched his head, amazed. Akihiko came to him first about his dreams and Hiroki found no magic that could do that.
Nowaki's eyes were wide. "He is so young. And you say he is soon to be 18?" Yukina nodded. "You think you can introduce Akihiko?"
"Wait a minute." Takano held his hand up. "Before we get caught up in this we have to be cautious. First there is why is it the two visit each other in their dreams? Plus we need to know what exactly is Misaki and Kisa. Not too mention Misaki is a young boy, not even an adult according to human laws, and Akihiko is, like, old."
"Gee thanks Takano." "Just telling it how it is."
Ritsu looked at Yukina. "Well then it is good that Yukina is going over there tomorrow. He can find out more information and if everything seems alright then he can introduce Akihiko to Misaki. Maybe Misaki is just as anxious to meet you."
Yukina patted Akihiko back. "I'll find out for you."
Akihiko gave him a quick nod and went back to looking at the picture. "What do you know about Misaki?"
"Not much. Kisa adopted him eight years ago and right now Misaki is trying to get into Mitsuashi because it is where Kisa went. His best friend is Takatsuki Shinobu after giving him cooking advice. Oh and I know Kisa-san has been talking about there is a chance Misaki can see his real family but Misaki refuses to make contact, wanting to stay with him."
"Heavy." Takano muttered. Ritsu nodded his head in agreement. "I wonder what his real family did to make Misaki not want any part of them." Yukina shrugged.
Akihiko stood up and headed upstairs. "We're having dinner in 20 minutes."
"Not hungry." Akihiko went into his room and closed the door. Yukina then realized he took the picture with him. I better get my sketch book back.
