Infatuation
by Miyamoto Yui

Chapter 3 - Nandemo. (Anything.)

Hiro just shook his head and made me drink the orange juice he had poured out for me. I took it from his hand and drank it in one gulp while wiping my mouth with the back of my hand.
"Maybe..." he said. "Maybe you can't ask me or Yuki. But you can ask, Uesugi-san? He's lived with Yuki all these years. Maybe he'll at least have a clue for what you're looking for."

My eyes became wide with delight. "Yeah!"
I then jumped into Hiro's arms in my chibi form and began to shake my head on his chest. "You genius! I knew I could count on you, Hiro!!!!"
Then, he looked down at me and smiled. "Well, of course. How would I be your Hiro if I wasn't?"
"Oh, Hiro, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!" I glomped him again.

I knew he would give me an answer...
even if it wasn't the answer itself, he always gave me a hint.


But before I could even call him, someone interrupted me and began to knock at the door.
There stood Tatsuha with a sly smile.

Yuki missed me already...
but he couldn't do it himself...

"Yo." Tatsuha lifted up his hand and almost looked like was saluting me. But then again, I found him watching me from foot to head.
Tilting my head, I looked at him as he still stood in the doorway. Shaking my head, I threated, "I'll slam the door to your face if you jump me again. For the last time, I am NOT Ryuichi!"
Laughing lightly, he smiled at me. "No, you are not."
But knowing our unholy priest, he had a tone that represented otherwise.

"Come on, let's go." Tatsuha said as he placed his hands again into his jacket pockets.
"Yuki couldn't have done it himself, couldn't he?" I mumbled as I looked at Tatsuha. "It's just like him."
And I was very disappointed at that. Very disappointed in him. I shouldn't have expected more. Even getting this far was pretty good.
"Yes, but the messenger can be just as cute to his brother's lover who happens to be Ryuichi's look-alike?" Tatsuha said bluntly as he smiled.
I laughed at that and then said to Tatsuha, "Okay, give me a moment."
Closing the door, I ran to Hiro and kissed him on the cheek as I got my jacket. "Thanks, Hiro!" I shouted as I took a piece of toast from his coffee table."
As I passed by him again, he messed up my pink hair and said as always with that reassuring voice, "No problem, Shuichi. Anytime."
But as I was going to close the door, I saw his lips say, "You know I love you, Shuichi."
Though he wasn't looking at me as he said this, I mumbled back without him seeing, "I know. I do too, Hiro."
But the way things were, I didn't want anything more from Hiro. I think I would break him if I did...

...because I knew he'd do anything for me.
