I took a loud sigh with relief as I finished grading all my papers early. I guess it did help coming in yesterday though I wish I had not seen a little high school girl on top of my boss. Thank god clothes were still on. Him.

"Kamijou, can you give me those documents from the dean." Lazy bastard he could get up and get them himself!

"Fine."

"You seem on edge, more than usual." He commented as I handed, threw, them to him. "Another fight?" I narrowed my eyes. "What happened this time I thought you guys finally found a balance. What did you do?"

"None of your business." Like hell I wanted to discuss this with my boss and how dare he think it was my fault!

After the call yesterday Nowaki interrogated me nonstop that I ended up leaving the house and going to work before I started throwing things. It truly sucked as I wanted to spend the day with him but when I tried to explain that Eiji was a man my parents tried to set me up with he then proceeded to push meeting my parents and actually accused me of not telling my parents about him. I did not argue with my parents for two hours that Nowaki was good for me just for Nowaki to doubt that I said nothing. So I left and when I returned home that night he had already went to work.

"Whatever it is you have to talk to him about it. Letting these things drag on will only put strain on the relationship."

I scoffed, "so you got yourself a young thing and now you know all about how a stable relationship works?" He chuckled, lighting a cigarette. "You should be careful in your relationship." He says she is legal but it still looks like he could go to jail. Especially if her parents find out.

"I guess we both are hopeless. Shall we just be together?" And now I see he is not being serious anymore. I was going to say something when the door swung open to show the same girl from yesterday with a terrible look on her face. "Shinobu?!"

The girl now called Shinobu gave me a deadly glare, which was actually kind of cute, and stomped over to Miyagi. "Like hell you are going to leave me." So she heard that comment?

"What are you talking abo...WAIT SHINOBU!" I watched as he was dragged out. Serves him right.

I went back to working when there was a knock on the door. "Yes?"

"Hiro-san." I froze, scowling. Why did he have to come to my job? "Are you busy?"

"Obviously." It was a lie. He did not speak for a while that I thought he had left but I jumped to find him standing to my side. "Shit, announce yourself next time."

He looked down at me with his puppy dog eyes. "I wanted to see you." Well here I am. "And I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I was out of line."

"Yes you were."

"I'm sorry." God I cannot win against those eyes! I sighed, turning to him. "I forgive you." I yelped when he wrapped his arms around me. "Hiro-san I love you."

"Ok, ok, get off. I am still mad at you. I told you Eiji and may parents are nothing to be bothered about but you kept pestering about it."

"But Hiro-san, if your parents are choosing men for marriage candidates then that mean they do not accept me. How can we be together if your parents do not want me for their daughter?"

Because they do not know nothing about my feelings and decide based on social status. "So what? Does it look like I will leave you just because my parents want me to marry someone else?" His silence was starting to piss me off. So he thinks I think that little of him? "Nowaki you need to go."

"Hiro-san..." "Leave me alone! Do you really think I treasure you so little? That I have been with you for 7 years for nothing!"

"Of course not but I do wonder what you see in our relationship!" What? He grabbed my hands and went to his knees. Whoa whoa what is happening? "We have been together for nearly a decade. You are the only I love, only one I will ever love. I want to marry you, have children, and grow old with you Hiro-san. I want us to move forward but I feel we are still where we were when we first started. You may not think getting your parent's approval is a big deal but for me, all I want is to greet the people who brought the love of my life into this world and assure them that I can be the man that can provide and protect their daughter while giving her all my love.

I love you so much Hiro-san."

Well. I am speechless. I really do not know what to say. I just kept staring at him with wide eyes, watching his smile softened as he reached up to wipe the tears I did not know that were falling from my eyes. "You made me cry?"

"I'm sorry for that too." He brought my head down gently to kiss me.

"My parents only care about social standing." I spoke after we pulled away. "When I told them about you, they had you investigated and found out about the orphanage. They kept saying they did not want someone without a high standing to be in the family. Eiji's family is long-time friends of mine so they wanted us to marry to merge the companies even though I told them no lots of times. I fought them for so long until I gave up. I do not care what they have to say; I will pick who I want to be with and I want to be with you." I could feel the sweat running down with my tears from the heat between us.

He smiled much wider, kissing me again, "I am happy to hear you want to be with me Hiro-san. I promise to do all I can to become a man worthy of you."

Idiot, you already are.

"I love you." As we kissed it got more heated with him pressing closer to my body until he had me lifted off my chair and leaned me against my desk. "Wait...Nowaki...this is my work..." I breathed out as he sucked on my neck.

"I know but I can't help it." He rubbed his half-hard dick against me.

"Idiot..." This is so wrong but I really did not want to stop this. I could definitely feel his arousal, he have some sort of office kink? I felt him start to unbutton the blouse.

"WAHH!" I looked over Nowaki's shoulder as Miyagi stumbled into the room, holding on to the door. When he found balance he laughed nervously that I noticed a phone open in his hand with the screen blinking red. "So...you two make up?"

"PERVERT!"

That Night

"You have quite the arm on you." Nowaki commented as we laid in bed that night.

I growled, "I am done with that man." I hoped he got a concussion from the book I threw at him. Tomorrow I have to go for that phone as I rushed out of there completely embarrassed.

Nowaki yawned, gathering me into his arms. "So I was thinking." Oh no. "And I still think I should meet your parents."

"Nowa..." "I know you said you do not care about I cannot help but take it personal." I could not argue with that; I just do not want to put Nowaki in that situation. Why cannot the idiot understand?

"Go to sleep Nowaki." I pushed myself closer to him, yawning. I heard him sigh but tightened his grip around me. "Alright, I love you Hiro-san."

"...you too." Last thing I remembered was a pattern his was making on my arm.

Next day

"Kamijou! That was my new phone too!"

"Fuck off pervert! I do not know why the hell you thought taking a video was a good idea but obviously nothing good goes on in your head. I am surprised I have not turned one of these things in earlier." I did not look up at him as I continued writing.

"Wait! Please Kamijou do not turn that in!" He was on his knees as I held up the completed complaint form. "I said I was sorry about the video and you already destroyed my phone. There was a good explanation about that video if you just let me explain."

"What explanation could be a good one?" If that door did not open who knows how far Nowaki and I have gotten and if he saw any of that, I would either have to quit or get him fired.

"Shinobu will not stop accusing us having a thing so if I showed her some concrete evidence that you have someone else than she would not be so jealous."

...he really is an idiot. "I'm turning this in."

"NO! Please I'll do anything you want."

Hm, dangerous words there; I feel powerful right now. "Anything?"

He rapidly nodded his head. I could hear him gulp as I smiled and trust me, this was not a pleasant smile. "Fine. I got five class-worth of essays that need grading. Get going."

"Yes ma'am!" He dashed out the room that I had to laugh. As stupid of a boss he was, he was diligent when he wanted to work and in a way the two of us do get along. Not that I like the perverted asshole and he really is not that smart when it comes to relationships; not that I can say anything about that. My phone rang and I ignored my mother's call yet again, instead texting Nowaki back after he asked when I got off. Well now that I do not have to do any grading I could leave early.

I stuffed the complaint notice into my bag, good blackmail for later, and headed out. Nowaki and I agreed to meet in front the station near our house. He was there first, smiling when he saw me. Today was a rare day he got off early so we decided to go on our long awaited date.

"What happened with your boss?" He asked after giving me a light kiss.

I made a noise in my throat. "Still has a job. Can't say the same about a phone." He chuckled, grabbing my hand.

We spent the day in the park, eating ice cream, walking next to the lake, my phone going off in the background. "Your phone?"

"Ignore it. I do not want to disturb our time with nonsense." While he did not reply, I felt him tighten his hold on my hand.

We spoke about nonsense, work and random things in life as well as dinner for tonight. We ended up at our usual family diner, me checking my phone just once before I turned it off.

He did not comment this time.

And when we returned home we took a shower and laid in bed, him bringing us close together. "I love you Hiro-san."

I nodded my head, too tired to reply. I heard nothing else but a faint ringing as I fell asleep.

TADA! Another chapter!

And such a sweet one too!

Next time on COH:

Risako seems to want more sister bonding time, Shinobu's not liking it

OMAKE (because I cannot have a chapter without drama XD)

NOWAKI

"Someone seems happy." Senpai noted. "A little too happy."

"What do you mean?"

She narrowed her eyes. "Oh please, have a good time with your Kamijou yesterday?" Well she was not wrong. Yesterday Hiro-san and I went on a date for the first time in a while and it was amazing. It had been so long since Hiro-san and I could have time for ourselves and after our recent fighting it was much needed. While I still have my thoughts on Hiro-san's parents, it still made me happy she picked me for me and not for my social status. Still I think there can be something done about her parents; it makes me sad to see a family like this.

"Come on lover boy, we got to get back to work." She chuckled as she walked off with me following. Work went as normal as it could and soon it was close to my lunch break. "Nowaki!" I turned as Senpai walked over. "You taking your break now?"

"Yes." Maybe I could see if Hiro-san wanted to go for a quick lunch.

"Before you go, someone up front is asking for you. Says he is a close friend of the family or something." Friend of the family? There was no one like that. "He said he has business with you...why do you look confused?"

"Well, I really have no one like that."

She gasped, "you think it is some sort of weirdo. Should I go kick him out?" That would not be nice Senpai, she would literally kick them. I have seen her do it before.

"No, I will handle this. Thank you for telling me."

"Good luck!" She yelled as I left. Just who is it? Someone from the orphanage? Or maybe it was someone Hiro-san and I knew? But that would really only be her boss or Usami-san; neither I was too thrilled to see. I walked into the lobby, looking around when I saw a man in a suit leaning up against a pillar. I had never seen him before so guessed he was the one to call me out. "Excuse me?"

He looked up at me, his face showing confusion first and then turned smug. "Are you Kusama Nowaki?"

So he knows my full name? "Yes."

He smiled, it did not look pleasant. "If you would be so kind I would like some of your time."

"And you are?" I had a bad feeling about this.

"Oh my apologies, I guess Hiroki does not talk much about me. My name is Kusumoto Eiji. I would like to discuss some things with you."

I really had a bad feeling about this.
