I read the story (so far) in "Forever..." by Chiaki Nozomi-sama, and it emphasized the (Pseudo?) relationship between Ran and Rei, and I believe it said in Chapter 2 or 3, "That was like apples and oranges!" So I thought, ah, what the heck, time to create a poem that is not only dedicated to the Ran-Rei relationship, but also to Chiaki-kun's masterpiece. I hope you read it, Chiaki-kun! (No lemon-headed yaoi intended, since I'm just a fan of yours, lmao.)

Shibuya Poetry
Chapter 9
Apples And Oranges

My grandfather,
A dirty, rotten, lecherous sleazebag who
Ejaculated for 45 years straight,
Once said this.

Hey kid,
You need to get yourself a
Big-ass bottle of Martinelli's-
No, the kind that could quench a hoss
And make that son-of-a-gun turn into a lemon-
And a keg of Minute Maid, the one
That is 100% California,
Often imitated but never duplicated.

Then mix that with a cup-full of
Tonic,
Bacardi,
And a lot of ice,
Serve it in tall glasses
With an orange peel inside
And topped with one of them
Fake cherries.
Call it "The Unattainable Queen"
Or something like that.

If you don't sell this drink
To any pseudo-couple
That comes to you,
I'll disown your ass.

(I could care less about the vulgarity
of that remark.)

With a fresh wind at my sails,
I went to the local store in Akasaka,
Bought what Grandaddy asked for,
And went to my room to create the drink.

Later that night,
Off to that bar I owned in Harajuku,
And officially introduced that drink
To a candid audience.

No one even cared,
They kept on dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing
And dancing.
Eventually I became exasperated.
Who would want "The Unattainable Queen"?

5 minutes later,
A couple of friends arrive.
Once wearing a red streak and some hot lipstick,
The other wearing a flat expression.
(An unexpected couple, from my perspective.)
I ask them,
"So, what y'all wanna chug?"
The guy says, as well as the gal, rather,
In unison,
"The Unattainable Queen."

As if on cue,
I create the two drinks
And give it to them.

The gal drank.
The guy drank.
And suddenly,

They shared a
Long,
Deep,
Passionate,
Irresistible,
Uncontrollable,
Burning,
Immortalized,
Wildly insane,
The-kind-that-makes-you-want-to-strip-yourself-and-make-out-openly

Kiss.

And then I thought,
That couple
Was like mixing
Apples and oranges.

Oishi.
