Chapter Four
Omi made pancakes for breakfast the following morning knowing that they were Aya's favourite. He set a plate down on the centre of the table along with lemon juice, sugar and syrup knowing that the red head would be down momentarily. He also placed a card and gift from himself and Ken at Aya's spot hoping that Aya would like the gift he had bought.
He heard footsteps in the hall and as the unsuspecting person opened the door Omi shouted "Happy birthday," at the top of his voice, which to say is very loud.
"Not my Birthday is it?" a sleepy but surprised Ken asked
"No I thought you was Aya and don't touch those yet. They're for Aya. Don't you like it when it s a birthday? I do. Although that could be because I only get one birthday every four years. Technically, I'm four. Isn't that strange"
"Have you been eating sugar again?" ken asked wondering how someone could be so hyper at 7.30 in the morning.
"I've never eaten sugar. All I've had so far is a cup of coffee when I woke up"
"Well that explains a lot you're now banned from caffeine," Youji said as he walked through the kitchen door
"Youji-Kun what are you doing up so early" Omi asked genuinely surprised
"I don't know maybe it has something to do with someone shouting happy birthday at the top of their voice. Know anything about that chibi?" Youji replied as he reached to grab a pancake before having his hand slapped away by Omi
"I'm sorry I thought it was Aya coming downstairs but it was Ken."
"Who is hungry and would like to eat" Ken interrupted with a meaningful glare at the food on the table
"No we have no wait for . Aya-Kun Happy Birthday!!!" Omi shouted again as this time the correct person entered the room.
"Hn" Aya sat down at the table aware of everyone's gaze on him
"This is from me and Ken. We hope you like it" Omi said as he indicated to the package on the table
"Thank you very much" Aya stated as he looked at the parcel.
"And Omi made pancakes but we're not allowed to eat until you do" Ken said with only one thing on his mind and that being the rumbling of his stomach.
Aya taking the hint took the first pancake closely followed by Ken as Youji left the room muttering something about a 'shower'.
Over breakfast, Omi and Ken talked. Aya was engrossed in his own thoughts. It looked like Youji was avoiding him then. It wasn't the first time Youji had left a room after Aya had walked in. Aya didn't know wither to be happy or not about that. On the one hand it stopped the blond from bugging him 24/7 but on the other hand. . . No of course he was glad Youji was avoiding him. Now if only he could convince the pesky voice in his head.
"Oh damn I'm late. I meant to be at school now!" Omi suddenly stated drawing Aya out of his thoughts, "and my bikes in the garage. I am so screwed."
"I'll give you a lift on mine," Ken offered
"Good, thanks. Lets go now then please. Bye bye Aya-Kun I hope you have a nice birthday!" Omi shouted as he rushed out of the door dragging Ken behind him.
Aya glanced at the clock. There was still half an hour until he had to be in the flower shop. He tidied up the mess Omi had left while making breakfast. While he was wondering what to do next he heard the television on the living room and went to turn it off. He found Youji spread out on the sofa flicking through the news channels.
"Ah another happy day in the world of news. Nothing but murder, rape, political corruption and celebrity gossip. Apparently, Koyasu Takehito and Miki Shin-ichiro are planning their own solo careers. Who cares?" Youji said as he noticed Aya enter the room.
After a few seconds passed in silence and Youji made no attempt at staring another conversation, Aya asked, "So what is this mission tonight?"
"Oh that. We leave at seven but it's at the theatre so go in whatever you wear to the theatre. We have to establish who the target is before the end of the performance," Youji said as he flicked to another channel.
"And how will we do that?" Aya asked annoyed with the lack of information being provided.
"They will be in the box next to ours. We have to take them out before the end of the performance. I've got things to do so I'll see you later. Be ready at seven." Youji turned off the television and left the room.
"Fine," Aya said. Yep the blond was definitely avoiding him.
With a sigh, Aya went to start his day in the Koneko.
***
Aya had a new hate to add to his ever-increasing list of hates. Today's new addition was birthdays. He had no idea who had told the horde of fangirls that today was his birthday but he knew when he found out who that person was they had a painful date with his katana. Then again there had been times today he had been more than tempted to run a few of those girls through.
And now he was waiting in the living room for Youji so they could go and on this stupid mission. He glared at the clock and realised he was ready early and really shouldn't be cursing Youji just yet. He contemplated the idea of going to make a cup of tea but Omi chose that moment to come in
"Hello Aya-Kun. You look nice are you going anywhere special?" Omi said as he sat down.
"No. There's a mission," Aya replied
"Oh why didn't I get told about it? Do I need to go? But wait its your birthday you can't do a mission. Do you want me to do it for you?"
"Yes well blame Youji for that he's the one who told Manx I'll do it." Aya snapped before starting to pace the room.
"Well, ok, then," Omi replied
Youji entered the room then. Aya took a brief moment to look over Youji. He was wearing a black suit like himself but he had chosen a black shirt whereas Aya's own was white. He'd also chosen not to wear a tie and had the top few buttons undone. Aya couldn't help but think that Youji looked good. Very good. Good enough to eat even but these weren't the type of thoughts to be having just before a mission especially when Youji had been avoiding him.
"Ready?" Youji asked. Aya nodded in reply before walking out of the door.
The drive to the theatre was silent to say the least. Normally Aya wouldn't of minded but tonight he jut wanted Youji to talk to him and bug him just so he knew everything was ok between them and Youji would try something on Aya and Aya would run away like normal.
Aya had half hoped that Youji would of done something for his birthday instead he got stuck on a mission. He had been wrong to hope that Youji would even remember today was his birthday, so how he ever thought Youji might have done something was beyond him but hey, why would Youji do anything for his birthday. It wasn't like they were 'involved' in any special way. Aya couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed though at Youji giving up on him when he was on the verge of giving in. No he didn't mean that. Why would he give in to Youji?
"Right we're here. Oh, valet parking. Shame I cleaned the car the other day really. Well off we go then," Youji said as he pulled up outside of the theatre.
Youji climbed out of the car and handed the keys to the man waiting. Aya also climbed out and followed Youji into the building. They travelled in silence as Youji handed in the tickets and lead the way to the box they were to be watching tonight's performance from.
Aya entered the box first wishing that tonight would be over quickly but then he noticed the small table. On top was a bottle of champagne, some glasses and a birthday cake with candles on the top. Aya felt a familiar pair of arms warp around him waist,
"What you honestly didn't expect me to forget your birthday did you?" Youji whispered in his ear "Happy Birthday Ayan"
"But how did you know that I like the theatre. I might hate it." Aya asked
"That might be the case but when you read the newspaper you always turn to the theatre section and read the reviews before you read anything else," Youji answered smugly.
"Now scared that your stalking me but why have you been ignoring me for the last week!" Aya demanded
"I couldn't trust myself not to tell you. I wanted it to be a surprise. Although it was funny watching you confused because I seemed to be ignoring you" he lightly brushed his lips to Aya's, "it seems that you do have feelings for me after all but I'm not ignoring you. Now would you like some cake? I promised I'd take some home for Omi and Ken but maybe we shouldn't be giving Omi any sugar for a while. Oh it looks like the shows about to begin best take our seats." Yuji smiled as he led Aya to the seats.
As the lights went down Aya couldn't help but smile. It did look like Youji was serious with his feelings. He knew that tonight wouldn't have been cheap. Aya couldn't explain it but he was overcome with desire to be near Youji. All he wanted was Youji. He had no idea where these feelings were coming from or how long they had been there. They were extremely uncharacteristic emotions though and they confused him but as he sat in the dark with the blond, his hand making its way into Youji's, he knew that he loved the blond and maybe it was time to trust his feeling and to trust Youji.
So that might explain how it came to be much later in the evening and Aya and Youji were stood outside of the redhead's room sharing a goodnight kiss.
"Are you feeling well Aya? You're acting strange," Youji asked as he pulled away
"I don't know maybe it was the champagne you kept giving" Aya said before continuing "or maybe I've realised that you're not just messing me about or maybe a mixture of both"
"It's taken you this long to realise I'm serious about you?" Youji asked surprised
"Bite me Kudou"
"Where and how hard?" Youji replied with a smirk "Anyway" he kissed Aya again, "I'm going before I don't let you go. I'll see you in the morning"
Aya reached behind him with one hand and after brief struggle opened the door. His other hand held Youji's and dragged him through the door. "I have a better idea" Aya began, "why don't you stay here tonight?"
"Are you sure?" Youji asked looking deeply into Aya's eyes
"Yes. If I wasn't I wouldn't have asked" Aya kissed Youji deeply on the lips as he shut the door with his foot.

Wahoo finally got that finished and hey, it's only midnight!!! It's only work I have to get up for early tomorrow.
I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed. I admit they do inspire me to write more, so thank you
