Chapter 7 : Denial
Omi takes out his cell phone from his pocket and call the number he knows very well. When he hears the other end picks up, he opens his mouth a bit dejected.
"Youji-kun, pick me up. No, I've waited long enough. I want you to pick me up now. We'll talk after you come. Teacher's meeting?! Since when do you care about those kinds of things?! Don't make any more excuses. I'll be waiting for you here for twenty minutes. If you don't come, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life." He hangs up.
"Shit!!" Youji slams his cell phone onto the table. I watch him swearing and cursing. He takes his cigarette and lights it up. "Kenken, you have to help me." He turns to face me.
"And why is that?"
"You're the one who told him that I'm here!!"
"Youji, Omi is not stupid. Both of you always run to me whenever you have a fight. It's easy for him to tell."
The door's opened. Ran walks in and sits beside me. You see, Youji wasn't lying when he said that there's a teacher's meeting. The part he lied was that he wants to attend it. He has to attend this meeting but he said he would skip. So Omi's phone call makes him change his mind.
"What are we going to discuss anyway?"
Ran answers him with a very calm expression yet I can see amusement in his beautiful eyes. "About teaching method and everything that has to do with it."
Youji sweat drops. Guess that's not his subject, is that? I hold back laughter as I see him drop his head on the table and sighs loudly.
"Phew. I thought I was going to rot here." Youji rests his head on the table.
There are only three of us left in this room. Ran doesn't say anything but I know he's waiting for me. He promises to treat me ice cream today. I don't know why he suddenly wants to do that. I mean, I've heard from A ... ya that her brother, how to say, stingy. He always saves his salary and never shops unless she forces him too. So this must be a miracle then. It's like ... a date? Where did that word come from? Still, I can do nothing but to feel happy.
"Youji, I think it'd be better if you pick Omi up before he ..."
Before I can finish my sentence, the teacher's room door sprang open to reveal a very infuriated Omi. He clenches and unclenches his fists, panting. I take a step back. He looks so ... dangerous. Youji's not going to live after Omi's through with him.
"YOUJI-KUN!! I think I've told you to PICK ME UP!! Are those words too hard for you to COMPREHEND?!" he grabs Youji by the collar. His voice's echoing in the room. I try as much as I can to stop myself from laughing my lungs out.
"But Omi, I've told you, I have this teacher's meeting." Youji says as calm as he can. Omi is a very composed person most of the times. I say most of the times because when it involves Youji ... you know what I mean. And Youji, more than anyone, knows that this time Omi is seriously furious.
"Huh! You're too busy flirting with the teachers!" he turns at me and smiles, "Hi, Ken-kun! It's good to see you!"
"Omi! It's good to see you too! How have you been doing?"
"I've been doing just fine. Except for this creature that keeps tormenting me all the time." He eyes Youji dangerously.
"Oi! What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Oh, Omi, this is Fujimiya Ran. He's our coworker." I say, introducing him a very confused Ran beside me.
"Nice to meet you, Fujimiya-san." He offers his hand which Ran shakes slowly. "Nice to meet you too, ...er..."
"Tsukiyono Omi. But feel free to call me Omi." He answers genkily.
"Um, Omi ... Ran and I have to get going ... so ..."
"It's okay!! You two have fun, ne!" he adds to himself but loud enough for us to hear, "While I take care of Youji-kun."
I laugh and drag Ran to the nearest Baskin and Robins stall.
I look up to see Ken starts licking his choco chip ice cream. Somehow seeing him like that cause a shiver runs down to my spine. I divert my gaze to the window. Then, curiosity hits me.
"Ken, who's that ... Omi?"
"Youji's boyfriend." He answers simply.
On the other hand, I'm shocked. "Kudou's boyfriend?!"
"Uh huh." He nods. "They've been living in America since two years ago. When they have a fight, they always come to me. No, not for advice of course. Maybe they want me to listen to them, that's all. Anyway, Youji has this big fight with Omi that causes him to run here. Unfortunately, Omi isn't called 'Youji's precious assistant' for nothing, so he finds out. You know the rest. Actually I don't really like the fact he's coming. He's a well-composed kid usually but when it related to Youji ... "
I nod in agreement. I myself have the impression that somehow he is going to be very scary when he's mad. Kudou'd better be careful. "What do you mean 'Youji's assistant'? Why does he need an assistant for?"
"Oh, he's actually a detective there. He said he wants a change so he tries to work at Koua. But I think it's actually just his way to get close to the teachers here."
"So ... how did you happen to know them?"
He eyes me confusedly. "Didn't I tell you? Youji is my stepbrother."
"What?!"
He licks his ice cream once more before answering, "Yes. My mother married his father when I was five or so, three years after my father died. But it didn't turn out good, so they divorced."
"Oh ..."
I feel so stupid. All this time I feel jealous over him for nothing. But that Kudou ... he seems to enjoy this .... He knows my feelings and he thinks it's funny to keep this a secret to see me jealous. I don't like that guy, even though somehow he's related to Ken. I hope that guy ... Omi ... will do something that'll make him ...
"Ran ..."
"Hn?"
I am not prepared for what's going to happen next. The next thing I know ... feel is Ken's lips lay upon mine. They stay there for a very short fifty seconds before he pushes himself away from me and falls backwards.
He silences after I told him about Youji. Hey, I didn't mean to keep this a secret but Youji didn't let me telling him. I don't know why I listened to him before. Maybe because he thinks it's funny cause ... Ran is ... jea ...
No! Okay, stop this, Ken! Ran is a friend, yeah, a friend. Yes, something did happen before but it's past. A past is a past. We're friends now and I don't want this to develop into something more ... do I? I want to settle my feelings for Aya before I ... before I ... fall ... for ...
I gulp. Doubtfully, I peek a glance at Ran. He's looking at nothing in particular, but ... I ...
I don't know what make me do this but I feel myself calling him ... leaning closer to him and before I could stop myself, I find myself kissing him. It feels so good ...
Realization strikes me. I push myself away from him, causing me to land on the ground. Without even looking at him anymore, I run as fast as I can.
Breathing heavily, I rummage through my pocket to look for my apartment key. It's no need though cause Youji has opened it, causing me to jump backwards.
"Kenken! You're early."
I can't say anything to answer him. Instead, I run to my room and lock myself there.
What was I thinking?!! Why did I kiss him?! Why?! It's not like I like him ... I like him?!
"Ken-kun, are you okay?"
"I ... I ..." I can't even answer him!!
"Ken-kun? I'm coming in." he slowly turns the door knob and walks in. Youji follows behind him.
"Ken-kun, are you alright?" he eyes me concernedly. Omi is a very good person when he is not angry, especially to Youji. I wonder if Ran will be like this too to me if we ... What am I thinking?!
"Ken, if you continue hitting your head like that," he pauses, grabbing my hand that's making its way to my forehead again, "you'll get a bump on your head."
"Huh?"
"Omi, what will we do to him? Take him to the mental hospital?"
"Youji-kun!!"
"I'm fine, Youji, Omi." I manage to croak out.
"I don't think so, Ken-kun. You're face's flushed. Do you get a fever?" he places his hand on my forehead to check my temperature, but Youji knows better. He's the expert, huh?
"Nah, Omi. He's not sick. He's love struck."
"What do you mean, Youji-kun?"
He grins at me. I glare at him, trying to tell him not to ever dare opening his mouth. But when does Youji listen to me?
"That Fujimiya guy, he loves Ken. And now I think he's in love with him too."
"Youji!!!" I throw my pillow at him ... which he can dodge perfectly. Sometimes I need to do something to him. Can't he see that I'm in a middle of a crisis?! Well, if you think that love problem is a crisis, that is.
"Fujimiya-san? He looks like a good person. Have you told him?"
"Told him what?"
"That you love him." He says innocently.
"Omi! I don't love him!!" I tell him that but whom to convince? Him or myself?
"Ken-kun ..."
"Let's leave him alone for now, Omi. Let him think." Youji drags Omi out of my room, ignoring his protests.
Think ... What does he want me to think? It's not like I have anything to think about except ... Ran. But I want to avoid that subject. Denial? Maybe. I'm a coward ... but to know what I'm feeling for him is hard, especially after I've just given up about his sister. What must I do?!
