Chapter 4 is here! Thank you for the reviews and support! I think I haven't healed from my B.G.D. (Bad Grammar Disease) completely…urgh…

Hisoka helplessly watched his twin prepared the dinner for three. Hijiri was so excited about Tsuzuki coming over. He had loved History subject as ever and as the appearance of Tsuzuki, the opposite of most History teachers which were known for being boring, he fell in love with History once again and deeper.

"I know that but inviting him to dinner? He just transferred to our school today and we barely know him," Hisoka told him his opinion. "You're just being insecure. He taught in my class today and all of the students loved him! He's just a great teacher!" Hijiri spun around and pointed the spatula at him.

Hisoka sighed. "Fine, what time will he be coming?"

"In thirty minutes," Hijiri replied as he tasted his lamb curry. "Jaa, I'll go get my shower first," Hisoka said and went upstairs.

The water was just warm and he liked the feeling. He didn't realize how long he spent in the shower until Hijiri barged in. "Soka-chan, what are you taking so long? Only girls take showers for thirty minutes, okay?"

"Hey! Don't you know how to knock first?" Hisoka quickly turned off the shower knob, grabbed his green towel and wrapped himself in it. "Hey, I've seen YOU since we were kids okay? No need to get some privacy in this house," Hijiri said and laughed away.

'Damn, Hiji-chan. Doesn't he knows the word manners? How could he come barging in while I'm taking a shower…' his thoughts paused as he was talking toward his room when he saw a man stood by the hallway looking shocked himself.

Tsuzuki gulped. "Ano…Kurosaki-kun…I mean the one who's cooking asked me to call you again but I didn't know you were still…"

The mansion was shaken by Hisoka's screams. Hijiri just giggled in the kitchen, already imagining how shocked Hisoka must be when he sent up Tsuzuki. "Hahaha…this house really needs his shouts sometimes," he said and continued frying the shrimps.

"BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE?"

"Kurosaki-kun told me to! I mean the one that's cooking downstairs!"

"This is someone's house! You shouldn't come upstairs just like that! You're violating people's privacy you know?"

"How should I know you were just coming out from the shower? Besides, why would you feel ashamed? We are guys, after all!"

"Then, what would you feel when somebody sneaked up on you while you were in your towels only?"

"For God's sake! What are you so upset for? I just saw you in your towel, not while you're naked! And I wasn't sneaking!"

Hijiri knew the shouts and the scolding must come to a stop. He slowed down the fire and went upstairs. "Mou, you two. Just stop it!"

Hisoka and Tsuzuki looked at him, surprised. "Gomen ne, Soka-chan. I told Tsuzuki-sensei to come up and call for you since I was worried you might continue showering," Hijiri explained and apologized on the behalf of Tsuzuki.

Hisoka stared at him and sighed as he entered his room. "What's up with that attitude?" Tsuzuki was starting again but Hijiri stopped him.

"Tsuzuki-sensei, I'm sorry again. He had always been like that," Hijiri apologized and guided him to the kitchen.

Tsuzuki looked at him. "What do you mean he's always like that?"

"Even though we're twins but we differ in many aspects. I'm friendlier while he's the quiet type. I score more in arts but his in science. I'm into modern sports but he's in kendo. But still, both of us are famous with girls," he chuckled. "You get the picture?"

"You're saying that you're much more open to people while he closed himself from the people?" Tsuzuki concluded. Hijiri nodded. He had finished washing the saucepan and the tongs.

"My brother is not really good with people, moreover with someone out-going like you, sensei. He just couldn't stand it. Oh, please. Don't misunderstand my brother. It's his nature," Hijiri said. "I understand. Living in a big house just the both of you. I can imagine how secure he must be with you and in this house," Tsuzuki continued, giving him the sweetest smile.

After a while, they heard Hisoka rushing toward the kitchen. "You still need my help?" he said and glared at Tsuzuki. "Oh, please set up the plates okie?" Hijiri said and Hisoka quickly got to work. "That brat…why was he glaring at me like that?" Tsuzuki was obviously trying to hold back his temper.

Hijiri giggled. "Just be patience, sensei. You'll be fine once you get to know him."

……………………

The dinner was not what Hijiri expected to be. He thought there would be an awkward silence but Tsuzuki was stealing the show. He was telling them the stories from his high school in Kyushu.

"Mou, Tsuzuki-sensei. You're killing me. I don't think I could finish my dinner like this," Hijiri was too absorbed in his teacher's stories and jokes that he laughed so loud and too much. While Hisoka just consumed his dinner unaffected by Tsuzuki.

However, Tsuzuki was affected by Hisoka's lack of interest. He wondered why was this boy was so arrogant with everything and everyone. He seemed like he just didn't want people to bother him or to be precise, to know him.

"Hisoka-san," Tsuzuki called him. He looked up. "I'm sorry. Can I call you Hisoka-san and Hijiri-san? You both have the same surname which is grueling for me to call."

Hisoka looked at him straight in the eyes. Tsuzuki swore the brat could launch a surprise attack any moment just by the looks of his eyes. "It's fine. What is it?" Hisoka felt the curiosity just flowing out smoothly from Tsuzuki and he knew Hijiri was excited that he and the teacher were talking again.

Hijiri's face was enlightened. 'Finally, they're talking!'

"Do you have something hidden from us?"

Hisoka's chopstick dropped. "Wh…what do you mean?" Now, he didn't expect that.

He looked at Hijiri. His twin was obviously puzzled by their teacher's question.

"Don't you think it's time for your brother to know the truth, Hisoka-san?" Tsuzuki stared at him. He stared back, feeling confused and baffled.

Honestly, I do take my shower for almost 30 minutes…it's normal, I guess? I couldn't imagine Hisoka in his towel but if I do, I'd imagine Sanzo (Saiyuki) instead…drooling Snap out of it, Berry! To be continued…
