Okay so I didn't update as soon as I was planning- don't look at me, it was all because of a very long assignment due. Because of that I even missed to write something for Hyuuga's Birthday T_T. That's right July 8th was our Hyuuga's birthday! Therefore I incorporated scenes of it in this chapter first before anything.
Disclaimer & Warning in first chapter.

Guest: (Lilichan92): I'm glad you're loving this story big time. Even saying that much is enough for me haha XD. When I found out it was French I wondered if this 'guest' reviewer had a connection with you since you're the only French follower I know of for this story lol. Looks like my intuition was right.;) thanks, you just taught me a new word. Thanks again for the reviews!
Atashi no Dark Side: Haha Ayanami can be pretty predictable, is like a hot button topic. It's obvious to everyone how much Mika cares about him and nearly risked his own future in helping him elope. As his lover, Ayanami sees the kid as an impossible love rival lol. He's very possessive isn't he. Im obsessed with him so much. And wow, you really love Mikage a lot. Hm…yes I can see it now, we're on opposing teams XD. When you say 'M' I always think of someone who enjoys that kind of rough treatment, Mika doesn't enjoy it but is powerless against it at the same time & since he has such a sweet personality –he doesn't defy/fight with Aya either. Thanks again for the review!
Chapter 17: Happy Birthday Hyuuga
Lieutenant Hyuuga whistled as he waltz down the halls of Empire and had a grin plastered on his face as usual. For no reason, his sixth sense was telling him today would be an unusually blissful day. No, it wasn't because today was his birthday. Albeit that was just a bonus for him. He stopped whistling his self- created tune when he arrived at the foot of his office door. Upon opening it, he realized Konatsu wasn't the only one awaiting him today. Haruse and Kuroyuri were present too.
"Look who's finally here! Happy birthday Hyuuga! You deserve punches haha." Kuroyuri cheered.
"Ne ne, isn't that a bit cruel for the birthday boy." The brunette played along. Haruse only smiled inevitably before wishing him a formal birthday as well.
"Oh yeah, we're throwing a party later today, you better be there. Well, it's fine if you don't want to be since we'll be eating all the cake anyways." The child notified.
"Aw, you guys didn't have to~"
"You're right, we really didn't have too, but Konatsu here thought it was only natural. Both him and Mikage were really looking forward to it." The pink haired member pointed behind them to where Konatsu was standing. The blond appeared startled by that revelation and now the brunette was staring at him a bit dazzled.
"U-um…" Konatsu cursed his nerves for acting on him during moments like these when he was put on the spot.
"Eh, is that so!" Hyuuga abruptly cut them all off, seeing through the other's apprehension as taking long strides toward him and hooking a sturdy arm over his shoulders that pulled him close. "In that case, there's no way I could refuse, now could I?" He closed his eyes and grinned again.
"Not surprised. Then, we only came to say as much. If you'll excuse us we have to make some preparations. See ya at the party. Come on Haruse."
"Yes Kuroyuri-sama." The blunette followed behind. Kuroyuri turned back one last time when he noticed the absence of a certain blond.
"Huh? What're you doing Konatsu? We agreed to do this together." The child reminded.
"Uh,that's true but…the work…" Konatsu stammered.
"Oh come on, it's totally fine if you leave. Have some fun for a change. You can take care of the paperwork when you get back." Hyuuga stood straight and slowly slacked his arm on Konatsu, granting him the permission to leave.
The teen looked at him flatly before responding. "I'm not talking about myself here, Hyuuga-San. I've already completed my tasks, but I fear that if I leave, then you won't do your work either." He crossed his arms.
"Kona-chan, you're not cute at all!" The brunette whined, at the same time walking over to his desk and taking a seat. The blond sighed right before he rotated his head to his team members.
"I'll be right behind you guys." Konatsu assured and watched them leave out the door. He faced his begleiter once again. "I'll be off then." He said as he stepped to the door, curling his fingers over the knob.
"Yesh, yesh have fun." Four eyes waved his hand, shooing him in a friendly way.
"And also—Happy Birthday." Kona quietly stated before swinging the door and eluding. It took Hyuuga a second to process the words as his smile disappeared. However once he did he stood up from his chair.
"Hey! Ya can't just say something like that and run away Kona-chan." He heard the brunette complain from behind but didn't stay long enough and caught up with the others. 'These sorts of occasions were always nerve wrecking.'
"So, what are you getting him Kona?" Kuroyuri questioned curiously.
"Huh?" The blond snapped from his thoughts and returned the gaze. "Um…hm, I'm not quite sure to be honest."
"Don't mean to rush you but you should start thinking. Isn't there something he wants?"
"Something he wants…" The blond repeated the words as filters in his memory.
Flashback:
"God, it's been so hectic lately. I just hope we can get these done before the deadline at least." Konatsu huffed as he carried a huge stack of files into the office.
"Oh. Welcome back Kono-chan," Hyuuga looked at him once from his magazine and offered a smile. He was sitting quite relaxed on his chair wth his legs crossed in front of him on the desk.
"Hey. I brought all the files that are due by the end of tomorrow. Were you able to—just what exactly are you doing Hyuuga-San!?" The teen cried when he noticed how laid back the other was with a blaspheming magazine in his hands.
"Pleasuring myself with these cute characters." The elder honestly replied, still engrossed into the article. "Look Kona-chan this one looks just like ya! Aw how nice it would be see ya dressed like this just once." He extended the magazine spread to reveal a very young maid in a frilly blue and pink dress, with short blond hair and big brown eyes looking very abashed.
The blond gawked at him in disbelief. 'This pervert!' "Excuse me, but I look nothing like that!" He snatched the magazine from the other and ripped it to pieces. "Now that your source of distraction has been destroyed please pay more attention to all the work that's been piling on your desk."
"Aw man, and I just received it this morning in the mail…" The brunette sobbed. Konatsu didn't bother showing any sympathy and made way to his desk to take care of his own share.
End of Flashback.
'No way. There is absolutely no way I can be thinking of such. Why did I even remember that out of nowhere?' Konatsu shook his head vigorously.
"Uh, Haruse, I think something's wrong with Konatsu." Kuroyuri claimed tugging Haruse's clothing.
"I believe he's trying to convince himself of something." The taller teen responded.
"I'm fine, can we just get this over with already." The blond sighed. Picking a present for him would be harder than he would have otherwise expected, especially when a particular flashback kept coming back to him.
A peek in to Ayanami's Manor:
Mikage awoke to tears in his eyes and thus it took a while for his vision to clear. He wiped the last few moist tears with a hand before urging to sit up. His back ached just as bad as his hips which already felt as if they were torn from his flesh. The blond winced in pain before he reached between his legs and caressed a swollen part of him to see how bad it was. Thankfully it wasn't nearly as bad as last time but nonetheless it wasn't welcoming any touches either.
When he was content with himself he glanced around the room. He was alone, on the bed and of course naked. Ayanami wasn't anywhere to be found so the teen moved a bit further until a chain of metal limited him, yanking him back. "Urg…huh?" Mikage glared at the band of silver cuffed to his wrist which in turn was chained to the headboard. The blond's eyes grew wide for a brief second. Unbelievable. He was literally handcuffed to the bed. He sighed. 'What is Ayanami-San? A possessive child? Is he that fearful of me eloping? Well with my history, it's probably not impossible…' The teen tugged the chain and concurred it was legitimate—there was no way to open it either. With nothing better to do but wait for the elder to return, Mikage laid back down on the bed, pulling the sheets over his shoulders and curling into a fetal position. With every minute he sensed himself growing unwillingly cold despite the cover over him. It wasn't the slightest bit comfortable at all.
Well at least he could use the time to peacefully rest. But what about the academy? Or better yet, Teito? Funny, he had been so caught up in his own life this whole year like a selfish friend that he totally forgot about Teito. And yet, he had to bring him up in the worst time ever—right when Ayanami and himself became an item. Now, Teito was already beginning to break them up. However what really scared him was when the time came he wouldn't know whose side he should choose to be on. It was indeed frightening. Tears automatically welled in his eyes again shading them a bit red from the inside.
Meanwhile back to the party crew:
"This is great! You guys reserved the whole floor just for me~" Hyuuga rejoiced as he stepped into the catering hall, decorated with balloons, flowers and such. The entire hall only compromised of the Black Hawks members in which Ayanami and Mikage were absent. It was a normal casual event, nothing too crazy just like one would expect from the Empire's elite team gathering. The only one that was seemly laughing and throwing pranks was Kuroyuri but settled after the cake was revealed.
"How long does it take to blow out the candles?" Kuroyuri crossed his arms with a pout.
"Cantcha wait, kid? I'm making a wish right here." Hyuuga frowned behind his dark lens.
"Who's the kid again?" The pink haired child squinted his eyes close into thin lines. At last Hyuuga stared at the cake with his eyes closed and blew out the candles.
"So what was the wish that took forever?" Katsuragi asked while the others began slicing the cake.
"Eh? Of course I can't tell or else it won't come true." Hyuuga winked.
"Do you seriously still believe in that, Hyuuga-kun?" Katsuragi laughed. Hyuuga didn't answer that and instead walked over to Konatsu.
"Did you pick out the cake too, Kona-chan?" The brunette questioned with a wide grin.
"Huh? Oh not really…I was too busy with the endorsement of this place." The blond replied.
"Really? Then how did they know my favorite flavor was caramel?"
"I was sure to tell them that of course."
"Aww, you're so considerate as always, aren't ya?" The elder ruffled his hair. "I can't wait to see what present ya give me this time."
"About that…" The blond averted his eyes and immediately blushed.
'Oi oi, what's up with that reaction?!' The brunette thought as he secretly opened his eyes and peeked at the younger, very curious now.
"Ano, meet me in the hotel room parallel to this one after the party okay…" Konatsu simply declared before silently leaving.
"Hm? He's pretty superficial today." The lieutenant thought out loud.
"Over here, Hyuuga-san." Haruse broke his cognizance and called him over for a toast.
…
"Well see ya guys tomorrow~ Thanks again for the party." Hyuuga waved while he watched the others take their leave. Right before he exited the hall as well, he recalled Konatsu's words immediately. He walked out the door of the room they were in to locate a room near them in the same corridor. When he did, he knocked on the door to make sure it was the right one. Not like there would be anyone else since the entire floor was reserved for them.
"Konatsu?" The brunette waited for a response again. He found it absurd when there was a rustle of clothing clearly indicating someone's presence but yet no answer. "I'm coming in." He announced while he pulled the door handle outward to release the automatic lock and enter. The elder was surprised to enter into a completely dark room. His dark glasses weren't helping much in a situation such as this and thus lowered them on his nose to see through his real eyes. There was a figure standing a couple of feet away from him and he immediately recognized that silhouette as Konatsu.
"Kona-chan is that you? What's up with the ghostly surprise? And why are the lights off?" Hyuuga flexed his hand on the wall and flicked the lights on.
"No—wai—!" Kona staggered and showed a high shock of reluctance but was too late as the lights blinded his eyes. 'Crap. This was a bad idea after all.' He thought with a crazy blush, covering his face with his arms to block the sudden light. When he slowly distanced his arms to peer at the other he was taken a back a bit. His begleiter was standing there frozen, jaw slacked and eyes wide open while his glasses were completely below the bridge of his nose. The contiguous stare only humiliated the blond further as heat was taking over his whole face and ears.
It ought to be expected. Anyone who knew Konatsu would probably gaze at him the same way if they were to see him in such an outfit. The blonde was wearing a knee high, super frilly girly maid costume in black and white with some blue ribbons. The sleeves began near the corners of the shoulders and came all the way to his elbows where they became an umbrella of white frill. The waist was tightly tied with a criss-cross of blue ribbons which also outlined the blonde's litheness perfectly as he wore long thigh length stockings under neath with no shoes. Personally Konatsu thought the head band and high heels were unnecessary because he was only doing this once and never again. He felt forgiving that for the past months Hyuuga had been trying his best to work seriously since there were plenty of instances Ayanami had to leave work and everything had been dumped onto him..
'I'm beginning to regret this already. What was I thinking?' Kona sighed before glimpsing at Hyuuga one last time. The elder hadn't budged from his position but by now a red fluid was leaking through his nose.
"Ack! Hyuuga-san, be a little more discreet-you're bleeding all over the floor!"
"Ah…gomen, gomen. It's just that you look so cute, I can't even believe my eyes." He chuckled, pinching his nose and closing his eyes again. The blond turned a darker shade of red.
'Well, as long as he likes it…it's okay right?' Kona clutched his skirt with a strong grip. "Ja, then this is what you wanted to see right ? Since you have now I'm just going to take it off already." The blond turned but was abruptly caught by Hyuuga who swung him over and embraced him tightly.
"Don't be ridiculous, I didn't see anything yet." Hyuuga replied a tad bit seriously. There a silent pause for a whole a minute before the brunette slid his face lower to the younger's exposed neck. "So, can I finally take this as an invitation?" Konatsu blinked at that question, not exactly following.
To Be Continued…
Aw, Lucky Hyuuga. I wouldn't mind getting a birthday present like that-hah, yeah in my dreams. But it's not complete yet is it! You'll understand what I mean in the next chapter as there is more to this 'present.' I know the concept was very cliché, so I would rather brainstorm other stuff but this maid cosplay somehow suited this couple the most haha. Happy Belated birthday again lieutenant Four eyes. And hey we got to see more of the black hawks (a bit). And absolutely no Ayanami today 0.0 I hope our rating doesn't go down lol.
