DORAMATIKKU

Chapter 4

-----!

Yuuhi kissed me. He kissed me. On his own free will. My heart was doing a crazy flip flop around in my chest. I didn't know what to think. I was happy beyond all belief, but I couldn't describe how I felt about Yuuhi now. What on earth was he thinking? Whatever it was, he needed to keep thinking it.

As I awoke the next morning, I came out to the kitchen, smelling bacon, eggs, toast, the works. I yawned and took a seat at the little island Yuuhi had in the middle of the kitchen.

Yuuhi turned around to put some sausage links onto a plate. "G'morning!" He smiled widely, making me look away so he wouldn't see me blush.

"Morning." I wanted to ask him why he did that last night. Why had he kissed me? It was so strange to me. It was like I was back in high school when I wanted Touya and Yuuhi wanted me.

Touya… I hadn't thought about him for a while. I missed him. Is that why I felt so attracted to Yuuhi? Because I was lonely? I wanted Touya back so bad… I knew he could help me figure this whole thing out. He could even probably tell me why Yuuhi kissed me. But he wasn't here, and I was stuck trying to figure this out for myself.

"You fell asleep last night, you know," Yuuhi said, putting a plate of delicious breakfast food in front of me.

"Oh… I didn't know." I decided to play stupid. If Yuuhi knew that I knew, then I'm sure he would feel stupid being caught in the act of kissing me.

"The movie was pretty good," he added. "Too bad you fell asleep."

"Too bad."

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me today. Maybe go around and run errands with me? Aniishi always came along, so it would feel weird being alone."

'Am I just a replacement?' "…Sure."

-----!

I couldn't help but feel like Yuuhi was just as lonely as I was, so he wanted me around. Since stupid Aniishi wasn't there, Yuuhi probably needed me to tag along, and he needed my lips to kiss. And I felt like a retard, getting all excited when he did it. But wasn't I doing the exact same to him? What if he was the one being giddy when I said I needed him? Nah… I'm sure he didn't feel that way. He needed someone else, and that someone wasn't me.

-----!

3 weeks later

1 week until Aniishi's return

-----!

"Aya, come here."

I walked over to Yuuhi, rolling my eyes. He was so dependent on me lately… I couldn't handle it. I mean, it was nice seeing him pay attention to me, but I felt like he was only doing it to keep himself company. He was never like this when Aniishi was around…

I sighed, shaking the thoughts out of my head. "What's that?" I asked Yuuhi, pointing to the light blue banner lying on the desk in front of him.

"Well since it's only one week until Aniishi gets back from the States, I decided to get ready for her welcome home party. I'm trying to make a banner for her right now, and I really need your help… You're probably better at these kinds of things anyway. I'm a guy, so I don't really know how to arrange things in a very artsy manner."

"Oh." I smiled. "Then of course I'll help you. We'll make this thing look great!"

So I pulled up a chair next to Yuuhi and we started putting everything imaginable on that damn thing. We put those cut out block letters made from foam to spell out 'WELCOME HOME ANIISHI', we put sparkles and glitter all around… Don't forget those baby stickers either. Those things were the biggest stickers I've ever seen in my life.

"Okay… What else is there to do?" I asked, standing back as he held it up. I had to make sure it was good looking and balanced with all the decorations.

"I don't know what else to put on it."

"Hmm…" I looked around, then saw a few fake flowers. "You know what would look nice? To cut off the stems of those fake flowers and super glue them to each of the corners."

"You think?"

"I know."

Yuuhi walked over to a kitchen drawer and got out some real sharp scissors to cut the lacquered stems off the flowers. I carefully put the flowers on the corners with some heavy duty super glue. That glue was said to be the strongest glue in all of Japan. I successfully placed all four flowers on the banner, set it to dry! It was perfect! That was, until…

Yuuhi went to give me a high five.

I had super glue on my hand.

We were stuck.

-----! (A/N: mwahahahahahaha I'm so mean to them.)

"Oh my god, call the number on the bottle, they'll know what to do!" I was a mess. I was panicking all over the place, and it wasn't helping Yuuhi any either.

He quickly dialed the number as I looked down at our hands. It was his right and my left one… Just imagine how awkward it would have been if it was the same hand for both of us. I winced just thinking about how we would handle it.

"Yes, I have a problem. Well you see me and my friend here were doing a project and she finished it… And then I gave her a high five, but she still had super glue on her hand, unbeknownst to both of us. So we're stuck together."

I bit my nails while watching him nod, then his eyes got wide. "A day? Yes. I got it. Okay. Thank you. Goodbye."

"A day?" I asked.

"We're stuck like this for twenty four hours… But I guess that's alright. It's not like we're doing anything today."

-----!

I watched Yuuhi put down the phone and let out a huge sigh. "Guess what?" he said calmly, although I could tell he was frustrated.

"What?" I asked. I was a little afraid by the tone of his voice and the look in his eye.

"We're going out to Blue Pacific to eat a nice fancy meal."

"Why is that?"

"Because Aniishi and I had reservations there for four months, and I forgot to cancel them."

"Why are you so mad?"

"Because we had those reservations for four entire months. That's the hardest place to get reservations at, and we decided to go for it and use up our money on someplace as expensive as that because we wanted to do something big for our first anniversary. But then she went on that plane to the United States, and that really used up all of our money buying those plane tickets. Now we're going to be even more broke by going to this stupid restaurant!"

"Oh… I wish there was something I could do to help…" (a/n: uhhh… I just realized that they called to remind them of the reservations. That's pretty gay, but who cares I don't feel like re-writing it.)

"You could help by joining me for a lovely evening tonight," he said while giving me a charming smile and wink… And of course I couldn't refuse.

-----!

"Okay. Let's try this." I said, holding up the strapless black dress with my one free hand. We had to get dressed up for this restaurant, and there was no way I could have gotten on something with sleeves. It would be easy with a strapless dress, because then I could just slip it on.

Yuuhi on the other hand… We didn't know what to do for him. We got him a pair of pants picked out, but we had no clue for the shirt. We couldn't have him in a tube top, that would just be stupid. So we decided that he would just have to go in nice jeans and a t-shirt. Luckily he was wearing a fairly nice one that day.

"Okay… now close your eyes." I said, giving Yuuhi a small smirk.

"Aya, you act like we're in seventh grade. I've seen it all before."

"Yeah, but you have a wife now. You're not allowed to look."

I thought I heard him sigh like he was depressed or something. "I know."

I stripped my pants, shirt, and bra. Doing this with one hand was impossible, so I had to use the hand attached to Yuuhi's. I found myself blushing the entire time, not only because Yuuhi was giggling like a thirteen year old looking in at the girls' locker room, but because his attached hand kept brushing against my bare skin.

Putting on my makeup was pure hell. Yuuhi was whining to go to the restaurant because he didn't want to be late. I couldn't even get the damn eyeliner on straight because my dominant hand was the one attached to Yuuhi's. I kept washing it off over and over again, until I just decided to put on a light blush, some light eye shadow, and a nice shade of lipstick.

Since we couldn't drive, we had to have a taxi come to pick us up. Yuuhi and I had devised a plan where we would just act like a couple in love (a/n: is it really an act, though?), holding hands all the time because we just couldn't bare to let the other one go.

We arrived at the restaurant, which was so bright it blinded me. Pacific Blue, the restaurant's name, was spelled out in bright blue neon letters, and there were so many different colors in the place that I could barely walk straight.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing… I've just never seen anything so colorful. It's hurting my eyes!"

"Ah, you'll get used to it. Aniishi always said the same thing, so luckily for us I asked for a table in a less vibrant room." We walked up to the front desk. Yuuhi cleared his throat. "Aogiri, party of two?"

The woman stood up and said, "Right this way, sir." She led us to our table, a small wooden table with two chairs, and bowed before leaving.

-----!

We were brought our food, which mostly consisted of traditional Japanese food. I ordered the unagi, kani, maguro, and tako. Yuuhi ordered some ebi, hamachi, hirame, hotategai, and ikura. (all sushi terms are listed at the author's note at the bottom of the page!) Our side dishes included very expensive oshinko and wasabi. I've never seen so much sushi on two plates!

Unfortunately, I couldn't eat it. I tried and tried, but I could not pick up the chop sticks with my non dominant hand. "Yuuhi…" I whispered. "I can't eat it. I can't pick it up!"

"Stab it."

"No way! We're in one of the best sushi restaurants of Japan… I can't be disrespectful. I don't want them to think badly of us."

"They already think badly of me, I'm underdressed…" he muttered.

"Yeah but that's you… I'm serious here. Please help me."

He sighed, but smiled towards me. "Fine, but only because you've been so nice to me the past few weeks." He picked up a piece of unagi, wrapped in seaweed and rice, with soy sauce drenched over it. I held my mouth open, but I didn't want to drool. Yuuhi gently placed it in my mouth and I smiled as the tangy taste settled in my mouth.

(a/n: maaaannnn I want some sushi right now.)

"So who do we have here?" An older couple walked right up to our table with a wide smile on the man and woman's face.

Yuuhi grinned too, and I guess they knew each other. "Hello. What a surprise it is to see you two here!" The three of them laughed… I didn't catch the joke. I later learned that this couple was always out to eat at this restaurant, and Yuuhi saw them every time he went there. It was a surprise how these people got to eat there all the time, since the reservations were so hard to get, and that was actually because the couple knew the owners.

"Who is this young lady?" The elderly man gestured towards me.

"Oh… this is just my friend. I'm taking her out to dinner tonight since Aniishi is visiting her parents."

"I see…" the woman said, scratching her chin. I knew what the couple was thinking. They probably thought Yuuhi was cheating on Aniishi with me. I didn't want them to think that, and I would've showed them, but with the whole hands stuck together situation, I had to stick close to Yuuhi. And he had to keep feeding me.

-----!

We got home. We were gone. Let me tell you, Pacific Blue has the best sake. But seriously, we were drunk off our asses. I could barely walk, or talk, and I definitely couldn't do both at the same time. Yuuhi on the other hand was just a basket of giggles. Everything was so hilarious to him. The way he acted seemed more like someone would act when they're high.

It was hard for us to walk since we were glued by the hand, so we kept stumbling back and forth, until suddenly I crashed right into him and cornered us in a corner of the living room.

Yuuhi got the strangest smirk on his face, and the next thing I knew he his free hand on my back, and his leg in between mine. He pulled me closer until our lips were centimeters apart. "Gotcha," he breathed and then captured my lips in his.

At first I was surprised. But then my thoughts clouded… I was drunk! What else was I supposed to do? Just let it slide and say, "Oh, no, Yuuhi… We can't." Nope. I just went along with it.

I closed my eyes and just focused on my mouth. Our mouths. The next thing I knew I was lying against the carpet, and Yuuhi was already fired up, and taking off his pants with his one hand. And he started with mine, too.

And before I knew it, we were making love.

-----!

Well…? I don't know. I was going to have a lemon, but I get too embarrassed writing those. So… I guess not. I'm mad! This story isn't get as much attention as I would like. Oh well, I guess. Here's the meanings of all the sushi.

Unagi is eel, Kani is crab, Maguro is tuna, Tako is octopus, Ebi is boiled shrimp, Hamachi is young yellow tail, Hirame is flounder, hotategai is scallop, ikura is salmon roe, oshinko is Japanese pickles, and I'm sure you all know that wasabi is Japanese horseradish!
