Chapter 2:

Kazuma kept on turning around on his bed, he kept on kicking his covers and flipping from one side to another. It was already half an hour past midnight when he gave up, he just can't sleep. Kazuma stared at his apartment's ceiling as he thought of a certain artisan left in the store.

"'I wonder if he would be able to do it. I dunno what came over me today." Kazuma said to no one in particular as he remembered what happened a few hours ago.

He and Shigeru fought today.

It was his fault. It wasn't like him to get mad at anybody that quickly but something in him just suddenly snapped when he saw Shigeru...talking with Tsukino earlier that day. He saw them laughing and having fun, but that something snapped when Shigeru hugged Tsukino for a long time. To him it felt like eternity before they separated, and what's even worse was that Tsukino kissed Shigeru's cheek and whispered something to his ear as the young boy blushed. He left and went to the kitchen.

He started making bread, what kind of bread he didn't know. He just started adding ingredients one after the other. When the dough was complete he started kneading it. Later on he started punching the dough over and over like it was some kind of punching bag. Unknown to him Kyosuke entered the kitchen after him and saw everything he did. Kyosuke tried to stop him but Kazuma seems to be deaf to his voice. He went out and called the others so they all rushed inside the kitchen. No one would dare go near him, as they were afraid to be the "dough", all except for Shigeru. He approached Kazuma and laid a hand on his shoulder.

Kazuma's attention quickly shifted from the dough to Shigeru's hand. Everything happened so fast that Shigeru didn't know what hit him when Kazuma punched him on the face. To say that everybody in the room was surprised is an understatement, even Kazuma was shocked and horrified by what he did. He immediately helped Shigeru up and asked if he was okay.

"Are you kidding me? You punched my face and you're asking me if I'm okay? What the hell is wrong with you anyway!" Shigeru exclaimed as he wiped off the blood that was dripping from his nose.

"I..I..I'm sorry..I..I didn't mean to Shigeru I was just.."

Kazuma himself was confused so he just stepped out of the store to avoid anymore trouble and questions. He came back after a few hours and worked on the breads they were going to sell for the day.

For the whole day he kept his distance from Shigeru, and so did the other boy. They didn't talk or get into each other's personal space, that is, until Manager Ken ordered them to make a new bread together, which will be sold to the people the next day. Kazuma smiled his usual smile, like nothing happened and so did Shigeru. They tried to work together but the tension between them just won't leave them in peace. Finally, they started fighting over the ingredients, the style, the look and the nutritional value of the bread they were going to make. One thing led to another and Kazuma ended up challenging Shigeru to make a new bread by himself over night.

Back in his apartment, Kazuma kept on playing the events in his head. He can't help but feel guilty for saying bad stuff to Shigeru just because of what he saw. Finally, Kazuma couldn't take it anymore so at around 2:30 in the morning he left his apartment to go to the bakeshop.

Chapter 3:

When Kazuma arrived at the bakeshop he rushed to the kitchen when he heard something that sounded like a person collapsing on the floor. The moment he opened the door he saw Kuruyanagi kissing Shigeru who had his eyes shut tight.

Shigeru and Kuruyanagi heard the door swing open and a gasp. Kuruyanagi lifted himself from the floor and saw Kazuma at the door with tears forming around his eyes. Shigeru pulled himself up and supported his wait with his elbow. He looked at Kazuma with pleading eyes as he whispered,

"K-kazuma...I..I.."

Kazuma ran out of the store as Shigeru stumbled to his feet. Kuruyanagi grabbed his wrist before he could run and asked,

"Shigeru! Is Kazuma..is Kazuma the reason why you didn't kiss me back?"

Shigeru looked at him in the eye as tears started falling from them. Kuruyanagi saw the pleading eyes of his kohai, begging him to release his wrist so he can run after the man he truly loves before all is lost.

Kuruyanagi sighed and slowly lets go of the younger boy.

"It's funny how we both have all of the answers.."

He dropped his head and whispered,

"Just..Go..."
