Johan Andreson; an aspiring Violinist, has messed up big time in one of his concerts. Now sent away by his family, he has to attend a Japanese collage and live by himself in a small apartment.
However, his life suddenly changes when he enters Neos Cafe, meeting the genius patisserie Judai Yuki and finding out that magic does exist in cakes.
Author Notes:
I'm here to drink pepsi and write fanfiction, but I ran out of pepsi...
Hey guys! I'm back and ten times more awesomefied~! Thank you for patiently waiting for this chapter, so because of that... this chapter's gonna be a HELL a lot longer for you guys. And to get the proshipping drama out of the way. Damn you Ryo. And Edo too. ._.
Btw; IT'S SUMMER!
I do not own Yu-Gi-oh Gx or else I'd hire the whole Yaoi community to create Yugioh Gx into a yaoi show. And with loads. And loads of spiritshipping.
What…had just happened?
Touching his cheek, Ryo sighed lightly, looking down at the piece of paper. On the paper was information about Edo's flight, but...it wasn't what had completely crushed his emotions at the moment...
"Get over me. I don't love you in that way at all, you only have a place in my heart as a close friend, and you always will you goddamn moron."
Taking out a piece of paper with the date, time, and the flight that Edo would get on board to Germany, he promptly shoved it in Ryo's arms. Haou's golden eyes glimmered in a threatening glow, as he spoke,
"Open your eyes and see reality."
He shook his head as he began to walk back to his office. What would he do? Edo already seemed ticked off at him anyways. Would he even care if he saw him off?
He didn't know.
A week had passed since then.
And well…when Johan had woken up and walked over to Judai's place that morning, all he received was a happy shout and scream.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? YES!"
Johan tilted his head and rubbed his eyes as he listened to Judai, who was bouncing all over the house. He couldn't help but laugh and giggled loudly.
"What happened? You seem to be really happy."
The brunette smiled brightly before noticing the smiling violinist. "Johan!~ Today IS great! Because Fubuki finally woke up from his coma!"
Ah, Fubuki. Johan had never gotten the full story behind this Fubuki person; all he knew was that he was the closest friend of Ryo and Haou, and that he had gotten into an accident that led to his own coma-like state. He gave a bright smile.
"That's great! Well...? Are we allowed to see him? I'm sure it'd be great for you to see him conscious for once."
The energetic male nodded happily as he spun in the room in glee. For Judai, the news of Fubuki being awake made him ridiculous happy, because Fubuki had looked after him as a second brother whenever Haou wasn't there. Walking into the kitchen, he gave Johan a happy grin.
"I'll make you a good breakfast, so wait there!"
As Johan went to sit on the bed, Kuriboh curled up on Judai's pillow, causing him to smile. If he knew Judai well enough, the patisserie would possibly have everyone take a break for the day, and then he'd throw a small party for Fubuki. Question is... would Jehu come for Haou's sake?
"Hell, no! And you damn well know I'm not stepping in that place when that so called... Kaiser pain in the ass is there!"
Johan sighed. Scratch that. He poked at his omelette rice as he continued to speak. "You know, I'm sure Ryo-san is more mature then that—"
"What if Judai had a crush on him, huh? How would you feel if Ryo tried to make moves on Judai?"
Promptly, the violinist stabbed the omelette rice with his spoon with a grimace upon his face. The image of the Kaiser hugging and being lovey dovey with Judai had struck a few nerves in his chest.
There was no way in HELL that would ever happen.
"See?" Jehu smirked as he sipped his soda, "That's how I feel."
Sighing, Johan began to eat his mushed up rice with a frown on his face. Jeez... why did his cousin always have to be right when it came to things like this? "So... I guess you're not gonna see Fubuki-san anyways?"
"Pfft, why should I? Anyways, I'm gonna go practice a bit. Tell Haou that I want a date with him soon!~"
Go tell him yourself, you retarded cousin.
Johan headed to work after classes were over. He had a slight smile on his face as he arrived at the door of the cafè.
Closed.
As he had expected, the cafè was closed today.
But he went ahead and opened the door anyways, violin case sill in hand. He was met with the sight of Judai jumping on him and hugging him, "Fubuki—! Oh, wait. Wrong person!"
However, by the time Judai could get off, Johan was blushing madly and stuttering.
"W-What the—J-Judai—?"
Haou, who was in earshot, cackled loudly holding his stomach. "I-I can't believe it worked!"
But Haou wasn't the only one laughing: Sho was trying to cover his mouth whilst in middle of pinning up a paper rose on the wall, Jun just smirked in amusement while setting up the tables, and Edo held up his video camera. "Blame Haou."
Johan twitched. So Haou was the culprit after all.
Pushing all thoughts of irritation aside, he looked around the cafe decorated in several of party goods. The normal Victorian style cafe was now decorated of several of stars, hearts, smiley faces, and a large banner that said: Welcome Back, 10-join!
"Did you guys just finish?"
Judai grinned and nodded. "Uh huh! But when Fubuki gets here, Haou and I are gonna make a huge cake! So look forward to it!" But what he did next completely surprised Johan. He hugged him again.
"You're actually really warm, Johan."
At this, the teal-haired male blushed a bright red color. "T-Thank you...?" The warm body contact from the other hugging him made him feel rather embarrassed, despite the fact he was a foreigner. After all, itwas JUDAI of all people hugging him!
Haou smiled slightly. Ah~ When Fubuki got here, things would get interesting.
On the other hand, Ryo was getting irritated. Why?
Because Fubuki couldn't stop talking for ONE second about how beautiful his little sister had become…and the fact that Fubuki was playing the ukulele like a moron. He glanced over at Asuka, only noticing her smile; which was a given since her older brother had finally woken up.
He sat back down on the car seat before Fubuki had paused in his performance, and slung an arm over Ryo's neck. A grin was plastered on his face as he poked Ryo's cheek.
"So~ Ryo! Mind giving me an update on your love life? Asuka's so boring for not having a boyfriend yet, so I wanna hear if your true love has finally come—"
Ryo shoved Fubuki off of him. "Why would I tell you? And we're almost at the cafe."
Shrugging, Fubuki went back to chatting with his sister, but in the back of his mind a few thoughts began to form.
What the hell had happened?
Looking out the window of the car, Asuka smiled as the car came to a stop. She spoke up, "Nii-san. We're here. Back home."
Fubuki smiled. The old café…it was still the same as he remembered it so many years ago.
Yet things had changed since then. Asuka had grown up into a wonderful lady that he was proud to call his sister. But what happened to his two 'younger brothers'? He opened the door and proudly stepped out along with Ryo and Asuka.
No questions, he'd just stroll in and…see what changed. But Fubuki didn't expect two people to suddenly hug him out of the blue, screaming out, "Fubuki-san!"
He was caught by surprise, but managed to keep his balance. In his arms were Judai and Sho, hugging him tightly. They merely looked up and gave him a bright smile.
"Welcome home!"
That was when a soft smile appeared on Fubuki's face. Judai had grown up to be such a looker, and the fact that he shared so many of Haou's features also made him slightly worried. Hopefully the boy was still protected from stalkers.
Sho hadn't grown taller, but he had gained such a more mature look in his face, making Fubuki smile. Really... this kid seemed like he could surpass Ryo any moment now.
"I'm home."
Johan was finishing up the touches on the decorations. The violinist had been attaching the last flower on the stairway when he heard some chattering from the second floor. Had Fubuki arrived?
He descended downstairs, smiling as he saw Judai and Shu hugging a brunette, Haou laughing and ruffling Judai and Sho's heads, Asuka smiling along side with Ryo, and Edo recording this joyful moment with his camera. Johan looked to the side to see Manjoume watching from far away, and walked over to where Manjoume was so they both wouldn't get in the way for the time being.
"Everyone's having a good time, right Manjoume-san?"
Scoffing, Manjoume shrugged as he looked to the side once more, "They're clearly ignoring us, why did they even want us here again?"
He laughed weakly, hearing Manjoume bring up the fact. For once... Manjoume was right. Both of them were left out of this joyous event, but it was a given: they both didn't know Fubuki very well.
"Well," A voice called out to Johan and Manjoume, "Who are those two?"
Both of them looked up from their conversation to see Fubuki walking over to them with a smile. He looked at Johan and Manjoume before he grinned, "So these two are the ones I've been hearing from Haou. The miracle barista," He looked over to Manjoume, "Manjoume Jun right? I never expected you to be working here."
Johan glanced over to the raven-haired barista, who had a rather threatening glare plastered on his face at the moment. But it didn't faze Fubuki a bit.
In fact he merely laughed and ruffled Manjoume's hair. "Jeeze, your attitude's worse than Haou's when we were kids!" But as Manjoume nearly tried to attack him with insults, he turned his attention to Johan.
"And you must be Johan... I've heard a lot of things about you!"
Tensing up, Johan smiled slightly before he said, "You must be Fubuki-san…" But he never expected Fubuki to suddenly grab him and ruffle his hair.
"Hahaha! You can drop the 'san' you know. After all, you've been good friends with Judai, isn't that right Judai?" Laughing, the brunette walked over, and gave Johan and Fubuki a bright smile.
"Yeah! We've been great friends so don't worry, you're like family now Johan."
And at that point, warmth welled in Johan's heart. Growing up, his family had been involved more into music than family-time, so he would spend his time learning to play the piano and violin so his parents could compliment him. However, they only compliment him if he won an award... which had stopped when he grew up, so for Judai to opening accept him as his 'family'... it made him smile brightly.
"Of course..."
Little did they know, Haou was grinning evilly at this development.
The whole party had been great, as everyone was involved in trying to fill in Fubuki about what happened in life and several of silly antics had happened. One of them being Manjoume's tripping and falling on a white cake that Judai had set out for Fubuki.
Eventually, as everything had died down, Sho went home with Manjoume while Haou had gone off to the hotel to prepare something. Johan looked up at the clock as he was cleaning up the dishes with Judai in the kitchen. It was rather silent in the kitchen, and only the clattering of plates echoed in the room,
It was…rather awkward. Emerald eyes glanced over to the smiling Judai. What could he say in this situation?
"Johan."
Nearly breaking the plate he was drying out of shock, Johan looked over to Judai with a smile. "Yeah? Judai?"
The expression on the other's eyes seemed to be dazed as he spoke, "What did you think of Fubuki?"
He thought slightly of Asuka's older brother. "He's a very nice person; bright and energetic. Though, I'm shocked he gets along really well with Haou. And to make things better, he even gets Ryo to laugh! That usually stuck-up guy who never says anything can actually laugh with Fubuki around!"
Hearing laughter from Judai, a dust of red covered the violinist face. Did he say something wrong?
Judai continued to clean the plates, still smiling, "I can see why you're shocked about Ryo laughing. But he isn't that bad... He's really nice and..." A pause. "He was my 'silly' teenager crush, but he rejected me."
When he heard those words slip past Judai's lips, Johan nearly dropped the plate again.
It was true then.
"What if Judai had a crush on him, huh? How would you feel if Ryo tried to make moves on Judai?"
Why did his cousin have to be right all of the time? The soft expression on Judai's face when he looked at Ryo... It screamed out the cold truth to Johan.
Ignoring the pain tingling in his heart, he managed to speak. "I see... I have nothing against you liking a guy if that's what you're saying, "
What the hell was he saying?
"But…If he rejected you…He had no idea what he's missing out on. You're kind, bright, energetic, and you also have your 'magic'! He's a dumb ass for sure!—" Covering his mouth to stop himself from saying any more, Johan found himself blushing madly.
What was he spouting on about? He had no right to say anything like that! But little did he know, Judai was blushing bright red from Johan's words.
Clearing his throat, Johan quickly finished drying the plates and set them in the dish washer. He closed it quickly after putting in the gel. Johan quickly walked towards the door before he stopped. "But…I'm serious. You're really great…I'll see you later okay?"
With that Johan left quickly in embarrassment, leaving Judai there. Slowly, Judai covered his mouth, still blushing, as he smiled brightly to himself.
"…Johan…"
"Ryo."
Looking up at the smiling Fubuki, the male watched as Fubuki walked over to him and stared into his eyes. "You're troubled right now aren't you…? Your eyes always dim down whenever something bad happens."
He scoffed lightly before looking away from Fubuki. Fubuki shook his head. Ryo would always be like this: the person who keeps everything to himself…and he already heard everything from Haou.
Fubuki only stood up straight before he spoke, "Phoenix, huh…? I never knew he liked you." No response. "Too bad Haou's too much like the wind; he can never be caught."
That was when Ryo spoke up, "What? You think I didn't know that from the beginning…?"
Uh-oh, crossed the line.
The brunette patted Ryo's shoulder in a comforting manner. "Ryo... Haou's been like that since his parents died; it's only to avoid more pain. It's the same case with Yubel and you. Yubel loved Haou so much that he became scared of Yubel's passionate love. For you... he can't see you more than a brother…it's the same as loving Judai in that way." That was when he looked to Ryo, "But now, you have to make a decision. Keep chasing Haou for the past, or chase Edo for the future."
Dark teal eyes looked up at Fubuki, who gave him a wide grin. "Just don't forget we're friends, I'll support you and help you either way."
A smile appeared on Ryo's face. "Thanks..."
"No problem." As Ryo began to walk off, he spoke, "I'll see you later, Asuka's coming to get you from the hospital."
Tomorrow…he had to make the decision.
+ At Domino Airport +
"Haou…I'm going to be late for my flight."
Edo was at the gate of departing arrivals as Haou was trying to pull him back, as if he was making him wait for someone. The brunette frowned. It was almost time for the plane to take off! Where was Ryo? Didn't Fubuki promise that Ryo was coming?
Unable to afford wasting any more time, Edo harshly pulled his arm away from Haou and glared at his highschool friend. "I'm NOT going to waste any more time! I need to go!"
"But—!"
The silver-haired male groaned, turned away, and walked towards the gate for departing arrivals. He wasn't going to stay here longer then he needed to…if it meant he wouldn't ever see Ryo ever again—
"EDO!"
... Ryo?
He stopped in his tracks as he heard footsteps approach him from behind. Gripping tightly on his bangs, Edo felt panic rush through his mind, but also a bit of anger welled up in him. Why was Ryo here of ALL the times he chose to be there for him? "Ryo-san... Why are you here?"
No answer. Typical.
Unable to take this anymore, Edo began to move on before he was stopped by a strong grip on his wrist. He began to resist, shaking the hand off his wrist. "Ryo! Let me go—!"
But Ryo had pulled him into a strong hug from the back, turning him into a bright red color, but also a rather pissed off little guy. Unable to comprehend the situation, he found himself speaking in German,
"W-Was die Hölle? Ryo! Lassen Sie mich gehen lassen Sie mich gehen! … Sie lieben Haou! Nicht ich!" (1)
Ryo however held him tighter before he whispered, "I'm sorry."
What…?
"Edo. I knew your flight was today, Haou told me. But…I chose to come here to say sorry to you..."
Don't say it Ryo... It's just a dream...
"And that when you come back. Let's... go out properly. Not as friends.. but casual dating?" Ryo at that point loosened his grip on Edo, whom only flushed madly.
Turning around, Edo eyed Ryo before he sighed. "... Fine. But!"
Edo pointed at Ryo, "Don't expect me to be all head over heels in love with you like back in high school! I won't back down like I did last time!"
But it irriated him when Ryo only chuckled, "All right... I'm just glad you're back to your old self."
That only sent Edo into a blushing rage before grabbing his bags and leaving quickly, yelling at Ryo and Haou, "I am SO not coming back for a few more years!"
Walking over, a hand slapped Ryo's back harshly and a laugh erupt came from Haou. "So forward Ryo! At least you didn't french kiss him like when you tried to ask me out... Well, you should have huh? It would have sent out little Edo into a fist of rage and he wouldn't come back!"
"Tch, who said I would do that to Edo? He deserves respect," The teal-haired male turned away from the grinning CEO. "Besides, you were different because you were someone who hates simple confessions didn't you?"
"Ah, touché."
Haou patted Ryo's shoulder. Everyone had reverted back to their old relationship: the typical brotherly like relationship they always had from the start of their first meeting, something that the brunette was glad to keep. Now... the next thing on his agenda…
"Ryo, would you like to help Fubuki and me with Judai and Johan?"
In the kitchen, while Johan and Judai were eating breakfast, both of them sneezed at the same time.
Both of them innocently unaware of Haou's evil plans.
A/N:
(1)- W-What the hell? Ryo! let me go let me go!... You love Haou! Not me! (Thank you babelfish OTL)
About the childhood past... I'll be writing out a pre-sequel after this fanfic, so you readers will have a more vivid image of what they went though together.
Well, FINALLY I got the damn Proshipping out of the way, Ryo was starting to tick me off personally. Now it's time for a bit of the spirtishipping for you guys!
And well I'm shocked: people are actually liking Haou's personality that I gave him. I thought it'd be easy to stick to the silent guy who will kill you but it's fun typing up this type of Haou! I kinda wanna write more stories about him and his Childhood/Adolescence friends (Ryo, Fubuki, Edo, Yubel) after this fanfic, so look forward to that. ovo
Btw: while we were getting this up, me and Frostii went 'rage' on this so. HAHAHA.
