Chapter 16 : Dinner Lecture
" Excuse-me, My lousy life? I'm the Jyudan and the Gosei, you know," Seiji snorted.
" No, you're just a man who doesn't know what the egg slicer is," Hikaru retorted sharply.
What!
" Look, you have a cool kitchen that every chef dream of but you don't even know how to use the egg slicer! I bet you know how to function the microwave and the toaster only," he mocked.
" That's not true! My coffee is far better than Starbucks!" Without thinking, the Gosei shouted back. It was true anyway but it didn't make his situation get any better.
The slippery boy smirked evilly, " God, you're so pathetic," he despairingly shook his head.
What did he just say! Me? Pathetic!
" You should cook sometime, you'll like it than you've ever thought. It's very relaxing, you know. You can put a photo of someone you hate on the wall and throw the pasta at him," Hikaru blinked playfully. Seiji smiled wickedly knowing whose photo would be on the wall, " It'll even better if you sing when you cook," the practiced chef added wisely.
" Is that what you learnt from the movie?"
" Nah, just from my experience…By the way, why the kitchen is so damn clean anyway if you've never set foot in it," he wondered.
" I hire a housemaid," Seiji informed simply.
" Ha, that explains a lot why your place is so dirt free," the talented pro commented, " Speaking of this place, Oh god, I don't wanna talk about it," he let out a slight sigh.
" What? What's wrong with it?" the young Jyudan asked inquiringly. Do you know how much it costs?
" Look at this place! It looks like a lab or a gallery more than a home!" the blond looked around the room, " Okay, this suite is kinda cool but , God, it's so cold. There's no sign of any living creature in the room, although you have that aquarium but…you know what I mean, right? I mean…when I first stepped in here, I couldn't feel you,"
" Feel me?" the creepy man gave the blond boy his chilling smile, " Do you want to feel me?"
" Not like that! You pervert! I mean your home should be the place that you can be yourself… where you can express yourself. But look at this room, I bet you just leave it the way they decorated it,"
The silver-haired man couldn't deny that, he did leave it the way his interior designer had decorated.
" See? You own it, not they. At least you should…" Hikaru's cell phone suddenly rang, he quickly answered it, " Hello mom,….Yeah, sorry….My friend got hurt while we were playing football…Yeah, I'm with him now…I know, Okay…Okay, sorry…Hai, I'll go home now…Hai..Byebye,"
" It's my mom, I've to leave now. Plus, I have a teaching game tomorrow," the blond said as he grabbed his empty plate.
" That's okay, I'll wash it," the 10 Dans stated.
" Oh, Thanks," the good-natured boy rose and headed to the entrance, " By the way, you owe me 2250 Yen," he informed the room owner as he put on his black-yellow sneakers.
" The steak cost 2700 Yen," the Jyudan countered back.
"…Then we're even now," the young pro told him airily.
" How can we be even? You still owe me 450 Yen," That was right.
" I cooked for you, remember?"
" You mean you made me eat it," the man corrected him.
" That's why you ate it all?" Sniggering, the blond guest was leaving, " Bye,"
" Go to hell," Seiji snapped.
" Okay, I'll meet you there, Bye," Hikaru laughed triumphantly as he closed the door.
Laughing till he cried behind the door, Ogata Seiji ruffled his hair. I'll never get bored with this boy.
