The Love Letter
by Archangel
Chapter Five
"Bacon and Eggs meal please and give me two butter loaves and a glass of water and coffee…with cream." Sendoh Akira said to the waitress who was drooling mercilessly because of his gorgeousness. "Kaede-kun…what do you want?"
"Two butter loaves and a cup of coffee is fine." Said the super pissed off Rukawa Kaede /this girl is getting into my nerves…hn./
Rukawa's about to be train of curses for the pathetic waitress was interrupted by a soft voice that called his name, "Kaede-kun?" It was of course Sendoh Akira. "Uhm…are you sure you're okay with just bread? I mean, I'm not the type to starve my date." And he ended his statement with a smile…a smile that nearly made Rukawa Kaede fall from his chair.
/Don't blush, Kaede…Don't. You. Ever. Blush./ Kaede thought to himself. But still, his cheeks felt that they were burning…and so he *again* slapped his cheeks. This time a little harder that made him rub his temples after. /Do'aho Kaede/ He said to himself.
"Itching again?" Now Rukawa was nearer to falling down than when he was a while ago…Sendoh is now staring right into his face…Sendoh's eyes meeting his as if trying to consume him whole…as if reading his mind and seeing right through his…ehem…itching act.
"Tell me, Akira. Where do you plan to take me anyway?" Kaede said hoping to change the flow of their conversation. He just can't take so much of Sendoh Akira's loving stares and flirting moves all at once.
"Yeah. Uhm…I plan to take you to my favorite hang-out…well besides the court." Sendoh said as the waitress came back with their orders.
"And where's that?"
"In Yokosuka. Approximately...uhm…two hours of driving." And Sendoh smiled inwardly. A two hour drive with Rukawa Kaede would be interesting. He remembered half of the movies he watched in his whole lifetime wherein the boys get to show off their cars and cool driving skills and not to mention their taste for romantic places…well…believe it or not, Sendoh Akira's willing to do the same…he's gonna impress his Kaede.
"And what do you plan to do with me?" asked Rukawa sternly. Well, you see…if Rukawa Kaede was a girl…she's going to be a tough one…typically the hard to get type. And Sendoh thought the same…
"Hey wait up, Kaede-kun! It's not like I'm kidnapping you or plan to rape you or something. Well, what I thought we would do is…well…uhm…simply...fishing, talk…musings on life…or basketball if you want, and yeah, we can do a little picnic." Sendoh said in a babbling fashion. Then he took a deep breath, changed the tone of his voice from hurried to something serene and romantic, and he continued, "Kaede-kun, if you're thinking of the expenses this date is going to take, I'm suggesting that you don't think about it…coz I'm the one who's gonna cover everything." Said Sendoh with a wink…
And Rukawa Kaede covered his accumulating blush through drinking coffee.

And so the happy breakfast ended and they're on their way to Yokosuka City…
"Ready, Kaede-kun?" asked Sendoh with utmost cheerfulness in his eyes. Kaede nodded in reply. And they hopped in Sendoh Akira's shiny red Porsche.
While driving…
"Kaede-kun…you can sleep anytime. Besides, we still have…uhm…approximately an hour and a half drive. Here…" and Sendoh reached out to the back seat and gave Kaede a small pillow, "go to sleep if you want."
As much as Rukawa Kaede wanted to smile, he couldn't…well, not the Ice King. Instead, he acted as cold as he could possible be…glared at Sendoh and said, "Two hours of driving is tiring, Sendoh. I know how to drive, we can exchange. Just tell me the way." He said that harshly but in reality he meant concern. Something that continually amazes Sendoh Akira…Rukawa Kaede is very unpredictable and nearly unreadable. When he says something, he could possibly mean it the other way around…and if ever you found out that he did mean the other way around, he would do something to cover himself up…naturally Rukawa Kaede.
Smiling to himself, Sendoh countered…"Thank You, Rukawa-kun but I insist on driving until we reach Yokosuka. You see, I initiated this date then I'm letting you drive? I don't want to lose my gentleman virtues, ne, Kaede-kun?"
"Hn. You only exercise your 'gentleman virtues' with women." Rukawa said as he folded his arms in his chest.
"I firmly oppose that. You do it to girls, yeah…and also to people you lo…like." Said Sendoh almost blurting out the term 'love' instead of like. Well, yeah…he does love Rukawa Kaede but it would be too sudden to say that 'love thing' right now.
And Rukawa Kaede blushed…but instead of slapping himself for the third time, he resorted to face to his side opposing Sendoh and hug his pillow to sleep…well actually, act asleep. He wanted to observe Sendoh Akira…quietly.
In the past thirty minutes or so that Rukawa had been pretending to be asleep, all Sendoh did was to sing. And it did marvels in Rukawa's system. Sendoh had a great voice, good enough to be compared to a professional. And the way he sang is not just mere singing, it seemed to have some emotion beneath the lines and the melody…something that enchanted Rukawa. While listening to *his* Akira sing, Kaede felt loved…he felt as if he had nothing to worry about…he just thought of one thing…one person, that is…and that person is Sendoh Akira.
His thoughts were halted when he felt the car stop. /Are we here?/ Rukawa thought. He was about to open his eyes when he felt fingers running through his cheeks…
"I love you…you know that, ne?" It was Sendoh, talking to him, all the while thinking he was in his dreams…sleeping. Then he continued his caresses…
"Will you ever love me back, Kaede? Hn, and if you don't…I have nothing else to do but to continue loving you. I'm just this someone…who's madly in love with you, Kaede…" Sendoh said with teary eyes…eyes that Rukawa Kaede did not see but could definitely feel. Sendoh leaned in to kiss Kaede lightly but was stopped in mid motion as he hesitated in the last minute…"I don't have any right, do I, Kaede?"
And with that he turned the car on and proceeded to drive.
****
At last they were able to reach Yokosuka City. It's almost lunch…and as usual, Sendoh Akira is starving…Rukawa Kaede was in deep slumber.
"Kaede-kun? Wake up, Kaede-kun?"
It was a good thing that Sendoh's eyes were as fast as bullets enough to dodge the punch Rukawa threw at him. What would you expect? This guy is dying for his sleep!
"Hey Kaede-kun! What was that for? We're here now…Kaede-kun?" Sendoh continued to wake the sleeping angel in his car. "Kaede-kun?"
Soon enough, Kaede woke up and was greeted the site of a nice backyard…a small wooden house and -
"This is my rest house. Let's eat lunch first before heading to the lake." Sendoh said as he led the way inside his home.
As Kaede was inside, his eyes were mesmerized with a whole lot of antiques and expensive decorations. The house was small but cozy…one bathroom and two bedrooms, a small but accessible kitchen, an inviting living room, and a nice backyard…it was heaven, alright.
"Feel at home. You can sleep anywhere…choose between the two bedrooms. Or you can watch TV if you like. I'll cook us some lunch." Sendoh said as he went his way to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
Unpredictable as he is, Rukawa Kaede went to the bathroom and locked himself in. He's not about to pee or something…just to think. It fascinated him to know Sendoh Akira deeply. It's not just his outer beautiful features or his supernatural basketball skills or his loving gazes and warm smiles that makes him Sendoh Akira. It's more of his simplicity in life, his down to earth contentment, his silent but smart ways of life that makes him more than Rukawa Kaede thought he was. And finally he let out a smile…a smile that says he was right about loving Sendoh Akira.
