XOXOXOXOXO
Furihata seems to be agitated at the traffic he is facing. Miyamoto keeps him in check. It is nearly lunch time when they trek the road. The brunet scrunches his face as he glared at the vehicles around their car. Impatient, he opens his LINE chat again.
Absolute_Empress: Damn traffic! ( - _ - )
Phantom_6th: Walking is still the best option, Furihata-kun.
Absolute_Empress: I know, Kuroko. But Sei insisted for me to have a car ride.
The_Hawk: The Empress in a convoy. How befitting! :D
Absolute_Empress: Will you stop that, BAKAO?!
The_Hawk: Hahahaha! Make me!
Sunshine_Model: Sorry guys! I might come a bit late! My manager extended my modeling time for half an hour...
Phantom_6th: It's okay Kise-kun... At least there's more time for peace and silence.
Sunshine_Model: Kurokocchi! Hidoi-ssu!
Sweet_Mirage: Don't take it seriously, Kise-kun. I know how much Kuroko loves you as a friend.
Phantom_6th: I never felt that, Himuro-san. Stop assuming things.
Sunshine_Model: I know Kurokocchi loves me so much! According to Midorimacchi, Geminians and Aquariuses are a perfect pair!
Phantom_6th: How about I tell that to Aomine-kun?
Sunshine_Model: So meeeeeeeeean, Kurokocchi!
Furihata grins at the flow of the conversation. He sure is lucky to have this kind of friends.
The_Hawk: Kise-chan, do you honestly believe Shin-chan's horoscope crap? :D
Sunshine_Model: Not totally... But Midorimacchi is smart, so I quite believe him.
Phantom_6th: And you are an idiot for believing it. ;D
Sunshine_Model: Kurokocchi! I'mma crying!
Absolute_Empress: I can't believe I have friends like you. *sighs*
The_Hawk: But you started to love us, right! Though in Kuroko's case, you loved him first.
Absolute_Empress: You're like, super right! :D
Sweet_Mirage: We're starting to sound like girls. Is this even right? Hahahaha!
Sunshine_Model: Fine with me! I'm bottoming for Aominecchi!
Sweet_Mirage: Oh, it's pretty obvious I'm bottom for Atsushi.
The_Hawk: Same here! Bottom for Shin-chan my looooooooooooove! 3
Phantom_6th: You're all embarrassing. ( - _ - )
Absolute_Empress: Actually... Something still hurts in me.
The_Hawk: So, the Empress has been laid! *insert Mobile Legend SFX*
Phantom_6th: I can't believe you are deflowered by Akashi-kun that fast.
Absolute_Empress: Uhm, well... He lost control.
The_Hawk: Yeah right. They all did. Shin-chan almost wrecked me! You see what I did there? Hahahaha!
Phantom_6th: If you're a fan of Miley Cyrus, that is. ;D
The_Hawk: Hey! I don't do Miley Cyrus things! I bet you got it harder with Kagami!
Phantom_6th: Shut up.
Sweet_Mirage: Says the one who used the word DEFLOWERED.
Phantom_6th: Duh.
Sunshine_Model: So meeeeeeeeeeeeeanie! I just remembered Aominecchi being so careful at our first time. Gosh, do you imagine he doesn't know where to start? Like, he's in all sorts of girls imagining them but when we did it, he's like a newbie!
Sweet_Mirage: Well... For me and Atsushi, it all started with a candy.
The_Hawk: Heeeeeeey! I know you're into sweets but I wanna know the deets, Muro-chan!
Sweet_Mirage: Relax, I will tell the details...
Absolute_Empress: Popcorn please!
Sunshine_Model: Me too! I also want frappe!
Phantom_6th: Get your own, Kise-kun.
Sunshine_Model: Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Sweet_Mirage: Okay, so it happened at the first week of our relationship... We were buying some of his candies from the store and went home after. Well, he was eating a candy when we got inside the dorm and it suddenly fell on my nose. Mind you, with his saliva. Then, I don't know what hit him as he suddenly pushed me on the bed and put back the candy in his mouth, undressing me and putting that sticky sweets all over my body. And... that's were it escalated.
The_Hawk: Woohoo! That was one sticky and gooey way to sexdom!
Absolute_Empress: Uhm, is there even a word like that?
Phantom_6th: Ask Akashi-kun, then. And maybe you'll have your second time.
Absolute_Empress: Kurokooooo! I need to stay fit for our upcoming project!
Sweet_Mirage: Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Why not we talk about that project when we meet? I have a few more ideas.
Absolute_Empress: I looooooooove you, Himuro-san! 3
Sweet_Mirage: Uhm, yeah. Akashi-kun doesn't like the sound of that.
Absolute_Empress: Oh believe me... He doesn't.
The_Hawk: Hey guys! Can you believe it? I am here at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya!
The_Hawk sent a photo.
Sunshine_Model: Awwww! You beat me to that, Takaocchi!
The_Hawk: Well, my eyes are not the only ones faster. Thank you, my beloved rickshaw! 3
Phantom_6th: I think I'm gonna faint from walking.
Sweet_Mirage: Should I call Taiga now, Kuroko-kun?
Phantom_6th: Don't bother his work.
Sweet_Mirage: Fine.
Absolute_Empress: I think I'm getting closer. Miyamoto-san's gonna give me a heart-attack!
Sunshine_Model: Awww! I wanna be there, too!
The_Hawk: So, where are we gonna settle? I found a cafe just few walks from my position.
Absolute_Empress: Meet us at that cafe, Taka!
The_Hawk: Roger that!
Sweet_Mirage: I think we're getting closer, too.
Absolute_Empress: Well, see you all!
Furihata then turns off his mobile data and locks the phone. His smile is refreshing. Miyamoto notices it and smirks proudly at his idea. He knows how to please the Empress.
"Furihata-sama, we're almost there." Miyamoto voices out, snapping Furihata out of his trance.
"Yes, Miyamoto-san. Can we find a parking space near the mall?"
"Of course, Furihata-sama. We'll get there."
"Thank you."
XOXOXOXOXO
After a few more shenanigans, they all arrive at the cafe Takao is talking about. Kise makes it in time before the four others order their food.
"Minna! Helloooooooo!" shouts Kise, startling some of the customers eating.
"Kise-chan! There you are!" Takao beams.
"The storm is here." Kuroko nonchalantly sips a vanilla shake.
"So meeeeeeean, Kurokocchi! I miss you, y'know?"
"I don't. So sit down."
"My, my... We're all here. Shall we start?"
XOXOXOXOXO
Akashi waits in his office for the client from Korea. According to his secretary, the woman is currently staying at an apartment in Kyoto so it won't be later for her to arrive. Now with Furihata to think about, he impatiently taps the table with his fingers and sips on his black coffee eventually. Worried, he picks up his phone and dials the one person he always have the delight to see.
It took a while for the other line to respond until Akashi heard noises at the background. What could that be?
"Kouki. What's happening there?"
"S-Sei!" a shuffling sound. "How are you at the meeting? Has she arrived yet?"
"Not yet. What is going on there, Kouki? Where are you?"
"Oh sorry Sei! I am with Kuroko and the others. We are in a mall now."
"I see. So Kenjirou suggested you to go outside?"
"Yup! He's with me, though."
"Alright. It's good to know that you are enjoying your time there."
"I do, Sei! In fact, we have a group chat. Me, Kuroko, Kise-san, Takao, and Himuro-san."
"And why does it have to be only them?"
"Uhmm... I dunno. Maybe we understand each other in mostly anything?"
"Alright. Please extend my greetings to them, Kouki."
"I will Sei. Are you okay over there? Do you want to go home now?"
"As much I want to, Kouki, but I need to talk to my client."
"Of course... I miss you, though..."
"And I do, too... Probably a lot."
"You're just the sappiest, Sei."
"Yet you love it."
"I do... But Sei, do you really have to give me your savings card?"
"Yes, Kouki. That is what you call conjugal property. What I own is your ownership, too."
"But Sei... You know I'm not-"
"I know, Kouki... But you deserve everything I have."
"Seeeeeeeei! Don't make me cry here!"
"I don't intend to. It's all honesty, Kouki."
"Okay, okay... Thank you, Sei."
"No Kouki. Thank you."
"But I didn't do anything, actually."
"Haven't I told you that you painted my life with more colors?"
"Ugh Sei! Can you stop with the cheesiness?!"
"Does it make you uncomfortable?"
"No. But its embarrassing."
"Nothing's embarrassing about what I say, Kouki. Take it to heart."
"O-okay. I will."
"I will no longer interrupt your time with them. Enjoy your day, Kouki. You have a lot of things to tell me later."
"Yes, Sei. I love you."
"And I love you, too Kouki."
"I'll be hanging up now. Bye!"
"Bye." and Akashi presses the red button. Smiling, he drops the phone on the table. He then reflects on how he got so lucky with Kouki. The chihuahua that tamed the lion in just a smile.
Unnoticed, a woman suddenly enters the office of Akashi. She is wearing a red dress and a grayish brown cardigan.
"Seijuurou Akashi, correct?" the woman speaks. Akashi takes notice and raises his head.
"Yes, I am. And I assume you are my client?"
"Certainly. Louise Jae." the woman reaches out a hand. "Nice to meet you in person, Akashi-san."
"Thank you, Louise-san. Pleasure to meet you in person."
"Please be seated, if you may."
"Of course." Akashi continues to observe the woman.
"Is there any problem, Akashi-san?"
"I was just intrigued. You aren't Korean, right?"
"Wow. How impressive! As expected of the Emperor."
"I get that a lot, but thank you."
"Most welcome. If you're wondering, I am married to a Korean businessman."
"No wonder. And you look so beautiful."
"Is that an honest compliment? I don't actually accept fake comments." Akashi is a bit perturbed by the honesty portrayed by the woman.
"No worries, Louise-san. It is indeed an honest compliment."
"Alright. So let's get started."
"Sure. I have here the documents you need for the contract." Akashi hands out the folder to Louise, which the woman accepts and opens. "I've heard that your company is one of the biggest conglomerates in the world. In fact, a source said that you also support charity organizations in addition to your company's vision. To put it honestly, my boyfriend is planning a charity project in Tokyo. If you're interested-"
"Akashi-san, please do not fret yourself. Contracts that require my presence are the ones I agreed to support. If I didn't show up in the first place, you know what it means." Louise says. "You have a boyfriend, yes?"
"Yes." is Akashi's only answer.
"Let me tell you a story... This woman in your front is never the woman she was."
"Interesting. How do I put context to your statement, Louise-san?"
"Well, let's just say I went to Thailand."
"You're a transwoman?"
"I can't believe how smart you are, Akashi-san. We should chat more often."
"It depends on how this meeting will end."
"Of course. Businesses require benefits from other businesses. That is really a tale for the old..." Louise sips on her cup of coffee. "Those were businesses who knew nothing but gains and profit."
"That is the cruel world, Louise-san." Akashi folds his hands and puts his chin over them. This seems interesting.
"But not for me... I mean, would you be cruel too if you just see the cruel world around you? That would be very awful."
"Honestly, you're talking like my Father. And I am disliking how this is turning out."
"Oh please, Akashi-san. Don't be. I have no reason to offend you or what. I guess it's really different from my home country and here in Japan."
"From where are you, Louise-san?"
"Philippines."
"Oh. I heard that is a great country."
"You have no idea. My husband is a regular there."
"He has businesses over there?"
"Certainly. And he let me manage them so that he can focus on his Korean companies."
"Impressive. So you have this 'rags to riches' story, too?"
"Yes. But before I turned to riches, I'm already a college graduate."
"Of what course, then?"
"Education... Major in English."
"So you are a citizen of the Philippines, married to a Korean citizen and yet you are good in Japanese. Not to mention, you've been in Thailand, too."
"Precisely."
"I hope my boyfriend reaches that level you have. It might be a problem if he is seen as a commoner."
"Please don't, Akashi-san."
"And why is that?"
"Believe me, simple life is better than all of these riches we have. I know you know how stressful our life is."
"I understand your point. I guess I just want Kouki to be happy."
"Oh, seriously. He will be much happier if you just love him the way he is."
Akashi smiles. Whoever this person is, the redhead is thankful to above. Not only she is beautiful, but her heart is filled with goodness and ingenuity.
"Thank you, Louise-san."
"No worries. I am just happy to know that you value your boyfriend as much as yourself. You're gonna live a whole life full of love and trust for each other."
"My gratitude is yours." Akashi smiles again, and shakes hands with Louise.
"There, signed." she hands the folder back to Akashi. "Oh, and tell me when is that charity project. I will personally be there to see it."
"Thank you, Louise-san. And yes, you are welcome to visit."
"Pleasure's all mine. It's a deal, then."
"It is." and Akashi's never been more grateful than today. He is looking forward to telling all of these to his boyfriend.
