Usual, usual on d and w.

"Ochi, your game today was incredible. I heard you weren't feeling well last week. Are you better?" Isumi said. "Touya was asking what was wrong last time."

"I'm fine. I rarely am sick for more than a day."

"Wow. You must have a strong constitution. So is the rumor true?"

"What rumor?" Ochi looked suspicious.

"I heard Touya was going to ask you out. Has he?"

"Touya? No I don't talk to him much. Why would he ask me out? Everyone knows how I feel about Waya."

"Oh well I heard he's been in love with you forever he just never had the nerve to ask." Isumi watched a spark of interest flare at the word love.

"Hmm. I can understand why I am a great catch." Ochi looked thoughtful. "Interesting. I'd have to think about it. He would be a feather in my cap."

"Oh definitely. I know at least a dozen people who will be frothing with jealousy."

"Hikaru. Are you still coming over tonight? My parents are out of town until Monday." Touya said. "We'll have the whole house to ourselves. We can movies and relax."

"I can't wait. I already know what I want to rent."

"Oh no not more anime. Don't you ever get tired of cartoons?"

~"No he could watch anime for ten hours straight and still want to watch more. It's fairly disturbing."~

Sai you are disturbing. I have a harmless addiction.

"I bet you want to watch some bad be martial arts movies. And you talk bad about my tastes. At least the mouth movements on my shows match the words I hear." Hikaru stuck his tongue out at Touya.

"Promises, promises. Save it for later. Too many people around right now." Touya quirked an eyebrow as if in shock. "My such profanity. I think we should save that for later too."

Hikaru blushed crimson and turned to stomp into the game room. Touya grabbed his hand and held him back.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't tease. But I love your reactions." Touya cast puppy eyes on Hikaru. "Forgive me?"

"You know I do. I'm just a little nervous about tonight."

"Nothing will happen that you don't want to. If you don't even want me to kiss you I won't. I want you to spend time with me. I just want you to be with me. We don't have to do anything."

"I know you would never force me. I want to. I'm just scared of the future I guess."

"Look who's here. I don't believe it. He wasn't lying." Isumi said in feigned disbelief. "He really is a tramp."

"What are you talking about?" Ochi asked in puzzlement.

"I met someone last night at the club. He told me Shindo had dumped Waya and seduced Touya. Looks like Shindo steals another man from you. So sorry Ochi. If I'd told you about Touya last week maybe you could have gotten him first. Too bad."

"What? How dare he steal another one. I won't let him do this to me again." Ochi glared across the room. "I hate Shindo. He looks so innocent but he's nothing but a boy friend stealing tramp."

"Someone really needs to do to Shindo what he's done to you. Or at least make him think they have."

"What do you mean, Isumi?"

"If Shindo catches someone doing something that can shall we say be misconstrued. His self esteem would be shattered."

"What situation?"

"Oh I was thinking something along the lines of Touya being kissed by someone else." Isumi answered casually. "But who could we get to kiss him that wouldn't look suspicious?"

Come on little fishy. Take the nice bait we prepared for you. There's no hook really. Would I lie? Isumi tried to keep from laughing as he watched the emotions flow over Ochi's normally impassive face. First surprise followed by anger then settling on stubborn determination.

"I'll do it no one else will be kissing my Touya." Ochi seemed to drop into deep thought for a few moments. "But this will take some serious planning. Otherwise he'll see through it. He make look stupid but he's got animal intelligence. He's cunning."

"You're much better at planning then me. But if I can help let me know." Isumi waved as he walked away.

"Mission accomplished. How did you manage two dates with that idiot. If his head was any bigger he wouldn't fit through a double door."

"That's not the worst of it. He thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Unfortunately he can't see anything he doesn't want to. Truly no one else would have believed Touya was interested so easily." Waya shook his head. "It's the same reason he couldn't believe I would prefer someone over him."

"This should be interesting. I wonder what twisted plan his little mind will come up with. I remember some of the things he did when you dumped him."

"So do I I still have nightmares about him." Waya shuddered.
