Eiji was organizing things at the restaurant. It was almost 5 a.m. He yawned for a moment. His body was still getting use with the new schedule but he was happy on working at Sakurai. He had learned so much already and the owner really trusted him in the kitchen.
Suddenly, the door opened and since he was at the balcony, he didn't see who was coming in.
"Sorry, we're closed already, so…" he was surprised when seeing the familiar face in front of him. "Mika-san!"
"Eiji-san, what are you doing here? Is this the izakaya that you work?"
"Yes!" he smiled. "What are you doing here at such hour?"
"Oh, Mika!" Rei appeared from the kitchen and smiled at her. She was still wearing her uniform and her long hair was tight on a bun. "Good timing, I'm almost done! This is Eiji-san, he started to work here this week."
"I know him, he's my new roommate."
"Eh?! Really?! The guy you told me about?!"
"You were too busy for me to tell you about the details." Shs shrugged.
"That's a big coincidence." Eiji smiled. "How did you two know each other?"
"She's my girlfriend." Mika said. "I can only see her at such hours on the weekend."
"Really? Ah, the world sure is small."
"Do you want to go upstairs, Mika? Today was very crowded."
"Can I help out?"
"Sure! I'm finishing the dishes."
"Okay." She smiled before entering the kitchen.
Eiji smiled seeing them, before returning to his chores.

"Thank you for coming." Rei smiled to Mika when they were doing the dishes and she looked at her gently.
"Don't mention it. I'm going to travel on Monday, so, I wouldn't have a chance to see you otherwise."
"I'm sorry I'm always so busy. It was your first week of summer vacation and I couldn't take you anywhere nice." She lowered her head. "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." She leaned her head on her shoulder while sponging a plate. "Anywhere with you it's already good enough."
Rei looked at her and grinned happily.
"You're so much more mature than I."
"I know." Her response made the owner giggled. "How's Eiji-san at work?"
"He's awesome! His food is really good already and the clients really liked him. He's polite and focused. I'm going to miss him when vacations end. Was he shocked when you told him about having a girlfriend?"
"Not at all." She placed some dishes on the drainer.
"That's good. Are you guys having fun living together?"
"Yes. He's very skillful. The house is always shining now."
"Excuse me, Natsuya-san. I already finish at the saloon. Do you need help in here?"
"It's okay, Eiji-san." She smiled. "It's late already, you can go home."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, you worked really hard today. Thank you so much."
"Okay, then." He smiled. "Mika-san, I will see you when you get home."
"Go home safely." She said, gently.

"The food was great." Shuichirou smiled at Tezuka and caressed his hair. They were on his bed, after having dinner. Kunimitsu didn't have time to buy groceries, so he ordered food. There was grilled salmon with lemon sauce and steamed vegetables. "Thank you."
"I'm glad you liked it."
"So, how was your week? Are you still working from home?"
"Yes." He took a deep breath and laid on his back. "The renovations are ending this month. I'm going to wear a suit regularly again." Lately he was only wearing them when going to hearings with his clients.
"I always thought you looked good on suits."
"Is that so?" Kunimitsu turned around again and looked at him.
"Yes." Shuichirou leaned his forehead on his chest and closed his eyes.
"Are you tired?"
"Yes."
Tezuka's hand slid on his back, slowly, in a pleasant movement.
"It feels nice."
His hand went to his waist to his chest caressing it. He started to kiss Shuichirou's neck and he took a deep breath. Kunimitsu's kisses and tongue touched his chest and his hand reached the insides of Oishi's pajama pants while kissing him slowly and deeply.
"Is he spoiling me?" Shuichirou thought to himself, enjoying those slow touches. His tongue touched his sensuously in opened-mouth, long kisses.
"I'm not getting hard." The realization worried Tezuka. Usually, just by kissing Oishi that way was enough to make him alert.
He removed the young doctor's pants, reaching his hardness with his mouth and fingers. Oishi's back arched from the bed and he sighed deeply.
"I'm not getting hard." he thought again, while licking Shuichirou.
Oishi sat down and breathed deeply, before caressing his hair. After some minutes of being touched like that after so long, he was already on the edge.
"Tezuka…" his hand gently tried to push him away from his shoulder, but the dark eyes just look at him seriously, before continuing. "I'm going to…."
He wasn't able to complete his sentence. His whole body shook and he finished himself inside Tezuka's mouth. Kunimitsu finally sat down and looked at his flushed face, before caressing his black hair.
"I'm sorry, I…"
"Did you feel good?" he whispered, before kissing his neck.
"Yes." Shuichirou closed his eyes, feeling his heart beating fast.
"Good." He hugged him and made him lay down again.
Shuichirou looked at him confused.
"Don't you want to…?"
"I'm already satisfied. Just wanted to make you relax."
Oishi smiled, wrongly thinking he was just being caring and considerate. He placed a kiss on Tezuka's cheek, before touching his hair.
"Thank you."
"Let's go to sleep? I will take you out for breakfast tomorrow."
"Okay. Good night."
"Good night."
Half an hour passed and Shuichirou was already sleeping deeply by his side. Kunimitsu continued to look at his handsome face. He seemed so comfortable. He wondered what Oishi would say if he knew that he was unable to respond to him on that night. What kind of emotion would be on the green eyes while looking at the lifeless and limp part of his anatomy? How would he explain?
Tezuka took a deep breath and rolled on his back, putting both hands on his in face. He wanted to convice himself that he was just tired and such things could happen sometimes to everyone, but, on the back of his mind, there was only one question repeating itself: Did Fuji ruin him for good?
