Crush 2
As they waited for their meal, Kisa decided to deliver the newest bits of gossip about his job. Yukina knew of Ryota, but he didn't know about every minute detail. He didn't expect such a courtesy from Kisa. After all, he didn't divulge everything from his classes at university. Many of his days tended to become the same as the day beforehand.
Nodding along about another story of Onodera stammering over Ryota's embarrassing questions, the server placed their food in front of them. Thanking her, they took a bite of their dinner before Kisa landed a bombshell.
"Ryota has a crush on me."
Stunned at the news, Yukina said. "Run that by me again?"
Enthusiastic about Ryota's crush, Kisa repeated himself. "Ricchan's little boy has a crush on me." He clasped his hands together with a chuckle. "He's so adorable. Ryota keeps on putting out my chair for me, his drawings feature me, oh, and he shared his cookies with me. Takano-san felt betrayed at his son sharing his sweets with someone other than him."
Hearing about a kindergartner having a crush on Kisa sounded so adorable. Kids crushing on adults wasn't anything new. The situation came to how the adults handled the kid in question. From Kisa's beaming smile, he found the whole scenario cute.
Yukina tilted his head to the side, smiling light. "Ah, I remember my own crushes."
"I know, right?" Kisa mused about his old crushes as he took a bite of his food. "I sort of don't want to crush his dreams when I tell him about you."
"Wait...he doesn't know about me? Why not?" Yukina pouted.
Kisa waved it off. "It never came up. I mean, he doesn't even know that his mama and papa are not together. Ryota is actually making Ricchan stop denying that he's together with our boss anymore. To be frank, Takano-san is easier to deal with at work because of this family situation."
"It's good that your job is easier now." Yukina chuckled. "You might as well tell Ryota you're in a relationship. I don't want to have to do it myself."
"Nah, you'll make him feel bad." Yukina gasped in indignation. "I'll tell him soon. I think Ryota is visiting the office sometime this weekend. You can meet up with me as Ryota is getting picked up."
