The next day, Misaki was standing in the kitchen making a list of things that needed to be made and or packed. Akihiko was talking with Miyagi and Shinobu to figure out who was bringing what. His back was pressed against the wall, smoking a cigarette as Misaki scrambled around the kitchen.
Shinobu had offered to make the food but Miyagi carefully explained that he would be jealous if anyone else ate the cabbage creations.
Miyagi had no idea how big a grave he had just dug himself into.
Misaki was watching Akihiko stand there looking dead sexy in his mind. The perverted rabbit was wearing a partially opened shirt with a tie that wasn't secured into place. The man in thought happened to catch him in his stare. Akihiko then licked his lips which caused Misaki to blush a bright red. The teen returned to searching for platters and such to carry food in.
After a few more minutes of a one ended conversation Akihiko hung up and stalked over to the counter that Misaki was in front of and looked over the side with an amused smirk. Misaki was on his knees and wiggling around for a cutting board that had been pushed too far into the back.
Just as Misaki had reached the desired cutting board, he let out a horrible protest as Akihiko fondled him from the other side of the counter. Misaki came out shouting profanities. Really now, the author just couldn't resist the open invitation.
"Same routine as last time," the author said, stuffing the rest of the cig into an ashtray near by. Misaki hadn't bothered to ask about it at the time, but now that thought about it, it seemed a little early to be doing this. "Usagi-san? Why are we having another picnic so soon after the last one?" Not that he minded, as he enjoyed the company.
There was a relative silence, like Akihiko was having an internal battle of some sort. "Misaki…it's because I love you. I could have lost you…"
It warmed Misaki's heart to know that Usagi-san would to such lengths to make him happy. But that look on the others face..that was the one look that bothered him. He never wanted anyone to be troubled because of him. Misaki felt guilty in the back of his mind. 'What if 'scenarios played before his eyes, horrible thoughts that shouldn't be.
"Usagi-san…" Misaki had to do it. He leaned as far over the counter as far as he could and wrapped his arms around Akihiko's neck. As he drew him down for a kiss on the cheek. It was a simple gesture but it made Akihiko's heart soar.
"You're not going to lose me, listen," without straining too much on the other end, Misaki stood up on his tiptoes and brought Akihiko's head down to rest on his chest. It was quiet in the room and allowed Akihiko the perfect chance to hear the heartbeat of his lover.
"I'm alive…and I'm not going anywhere for a long long time." This was another precious moment to come back and look on in times when things were hard.
--
The rest of the day passed in a blur. Akihiko locked himself up in his office to finish a novel so that Aikawa would leave them alone the next day. Misaki had been busy cleaning the kitchen and anything else that didn't seem to look clean in his mind. Every so often when he bent too much to one side, his stomach would cramp and he would have to sit down and let it pass. The first time it had happened, he managed to convince Usagi-san that he had just been hungry.
He won that contest when Usagi-san fed him so much food that Misaki thought he would pop. The memory made him smile.
He never wanted to lose this precious person. What Takahiro never knew, was now all for Misaki. He loved his brother and his wife but Misaki was happy to say he had someone who love him despite the way he looked and acted.
After many hours had went by, Misaki knocked on the office door, letting Akihiko know he was going to bed. He got a grunt as a response and chuckled. If he only the author would just meet his deadlines early he wouldn't have to lose sleep. 'Well at least,' Misaki thought, 'I'll make it easier for tomorrow when I have everything ready to go.'
It may have been two hours later when Usagi-san crept into the room and laid down beside his love. Misaki was barely awake when he felt arms pull him into a strong and hard chest. It was safe and the teen cooed when he felt Usagi-san place his chin on his shoulder. Nothing perverted at all just a sweet action and the two were able to sleep in a dreamless sleep.

The very next morning, a red sports car pulled into the parking lot of a park. The trunk was popped and two occupants opened up their doors and got out. Both moved to the back and started to take out large bags of food and what not.
As they did this, they heard calls. Both looked up to see four familiar faces walking over to them. Nowaki and Shinobu were waving, Hiroki looked annoyed as usual and Miyagi was indifferent as he puffed on a cigarette. He put it put out by stomping on it then picked it up to toss it into the nearest garbage can.
The spot had been picked where it had about a month and a half ago. It was spacious and had plenty of trees surrounding them so in case it rained. It was rather cheerful. The blanket was large a deep shade of blue. So blue that it was almost black. It contrasted with the dark luscious green grass.
Plates and bowls were laid out and food had filled every container imaginable. They all said at the same time, "You cooked all of this Misaki?!" And the teen flushed under their amazed gaze. Akihiko smirked, his uke was amazing wasn't he?
This had been exactly what Misaki needed. The cool breeze that tickled his senses with fresh earth and spice from the curry he had made. Laughter erupted when Hiroki tried to act cool and composed and failed when Nowaki leaned in to lick a stray piece of rice off of his Hiro-sans cheek. Profanities of all kinds spewed out of Hiroki. Miyagi and Shinobu were in tears rolling around on the blanket.
A little while after, Shinobu just had to blurt out his question which made everyone except Akihiko and the teen asking blush.
"Hey, since we're all gay here, Nowaki, how do you and the demon make love with his wonderful personality?" Akihiko choked on his drink he was laughing so hard into his hand. The daggers that were being directed at him from Hiroki were just not enough to describe his sudden hate in the deans son.
"Uhm…Shinobu-chin…that's really rude to ask," Miyagi tried to aim the conversation everywhere else except to this one right now. "Quiet old man! I'm curious!" What was alarming was the thing said next, "Hiro-san loves me as much as I love him. He's so cute when we make love and-" poor Nowaki didn't have a chance. He was bashed repeatedly with a plastic bowl as that was all Hiroki had enough time to grab. Nowaki was smiling even though the headache he was going to have tomorrow was going to slow him down.
Misaki was blushing into his drink when he grumbled, "I don't even want to know how that works." He meant it as how those two got along but Akihiko had heard it the wrong way and decided to tease his young love about it.
The author had cupped Misaki's chin when the teen set his cup down on the blanket and pulled his face up to meet his. The smirk that was there sent shivers up and down Misaki's spine.
"Oh but Misaki…you should know how it works by now. Should we have the birds and bees talk?" The blush brightened when Akihiko kept drawing him closer for an almost kiss, then he heard the whisper next to his ear that set him off.
"Or should I say…the birds and bunnies talk."
Misaki screeched to high heaven as everyone started laughing at the sudden outburst. They had heard loud and clear what had been said. Funny though how the author came up with that.
"Baka Usagi! You're not a damn rabbit! And I'm not a bird!" That dug him another grave didn't it?
Akihiko had been quiet after that, which wasn't like him at all. It appeared that since they got there, his mind had been somewhere else. But when Misaki tried to ask him in whisper what was wrong, Akihiko would turn and give him this gaze that was full of love. Rendering Misaki speechless for another twenty minutes.
A rousing game of fetch had ensued when Shinobu brought out a Frisbee. "Hey Misaki, catch!" Ten minutes into the game. Misaki had spaced out for a moment, why? Because he thought he saw Usami Fuyuhiko standing on the sidewalk in the distance. He didn't look annoyed, but then again he didn't look happy either. It was blank. But he had a turn of the lips, and maybe the word was amused. Akihiko didn't seem to notice.
"Misaki!" But it was short. Emerald eyes watered in pain as the Frisbee, which he was sure was going 90 to nothing, hit him square in the stomach. Impact point from the accident. The teen caught the Frisbee before it hit the ground. He would have doubled over if he didn't realize it would have looked suspicious and the last thing he wanted was for Usagi-san to worry.
He looked up when everybody was staring at him, he could feel the tears on the edge of his eyes. He blinked and held them back, giving Shinobu a goofy grin. "I got it! You're turn!" And Misaki flung the disk with all the pent up frustration he had.
It was a powerful throw as it ended up whizzing right of Shinobu's head causing him to lean back too far and fall promptly on his butt. Everyone was laughing then, well, almost everyone. Misaki felt a pair of eyes on him, and he looked over to his surprise to see violet eyes staring at him. "Oh," Misaki cringed, "he saw that didn't he?"
After a few more minutes, it was decided that the two teens sit down and enjoy a cold drink. Misaki tried to ignore Usagi-san's stare, it was rattling him down to the core. He knew he was going to get the biggest lecture of his life when they got home.
--
The sun was setting as two couples walked home. Akihiko waited until Misaki was in the car and the door was shut that he put his car into reverse, pulled out, then brought it into drive and smashed his foot down on the gas petal. That scared the hell out of Misaki as he ended up clutching the side of the door in fear for his life.
Something was bothering the rabbit author, and one could only guess, it had something to do with his one and only love. Misaki.
--
Not a word had been spoken all the way home, and even in the elevator. And the moment they got into the penthouse, Misaki had to know what was bothering his love so much.
"Usagi-san? The moment that name came out, Akihiko had grabbed him, raised up the teens shirt and was kissing the injury. Misaki, without anything better to say, merely gasped and blushed despite himself. It was so gentle, once again nothing perverted at all. It was just caring and sweet. Loving.
Akihiko looked up with a smile that melted Misaki's heart, to see so much love in those violet eyes that were starting to swirl with lust, love and a burning desire.
"A kiss is supposed to make it better," for the rest of the night, the only things being spoken were being gasped in pleasure. Moans filled the upper story penthouse, one bedroom of Usami Akihiko. And as Misaki would learn, another night of mutal discovery between them. A devotion that only they could share to each other. A love, with a cute fan girl sigh, that only two lovers could show each other.
--
It was almost midnight when the phone went off. Akihiko didn't want to wake his love, and promised that it would only be for a minute and then he would be back to cuddle. The image of a sleeping Misaki with sheets wrapped around his lower body was adorable Not to mention when Akihiko got up, he placed Suzuki-san in his place and watched as Misaki snuggled up to it. That was a Kodak moment in his head now.
"Who is calling so late at night?" He couldn't help but think as he touched the floor in the living room and swiftly walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?" The author asked, getting a little agitated that whoever was on the other end of the phone had better have something really important to say. There was a sound of scoff. Or a chuckle, he wasn't sure.
"Looks like you had fun today, Akihiko." And already he felt his blood boiling. Not his brother, but even worse.
