The day before J had to go back to work, Hayakawa says, "I should really meet them…"
"Hayakawa-san…" J sweat-drops.
"Don't you trust me, J?" he asks innocently.
"Of course I do! I trust you with my life."
"Then…" he asks, hopeful.
"It's just that I don't trust you not to embarrass me, is all," he bluntly says.
That caused Hayakawa some damage, a somewhat depressed expression on his face.
"Don't give me that look! You know it's true!" J huffs, crossing his arms.
"…fine," Hayakawa decides on a compromise, "I promise I'll try not to embarrass you. Better?"
Kissing his cheek, J replies while smiling, "Much better…and you better keep your promise, or I'll withhold sex for a month."
And with that casual threat, Hayakawa reluctantly agrees, "…Hai."
When J came back to Rokuhoudou, he was in his street clothes…and not alone.
A man wearing a white shirt, brown jacket, black pants, and black shoes was with him.
"J! Welcome back!" Tsubaki cheers.
"How was your vacation?" Tokitaka asks.
"It was…interesting," J smiles, not willing to reveal anything.
"Who's the guy you brought with you?" Gure asks.
"I'm Hayakawa Tsubasa. Thank you for taking care of J," the man bows.
"It's no problem! Really," Sui smiles, waving his hands in surrender.
Kinako and Midori meow in greeting, rubbing up against J's legs.
"Kinako, Midori…" J smiles as he pets them.
"And you're here because…" Tsubaki questions.
"He wanted to meet you guys. I had no choice," J replies, sighing.
They have a celebratory meal, which was delicious. Of course, the coffee though…
"Gure-san…your latte art is still terrible," J says as he sips the coffee, Gure being depressed again.
J goes upstairs to change into his uniform while Hayakawa asks, "Can I make some coffee?"
They allowed it, and much to Gure's dismay, Hayakawa's latte art is better than his.
When J comes back, Hayakawa sees J in a blue yukata, "It suits you."
"Uh…thank you," J blushes as he smiles sheepishly.
"Is he your teacher?" Gure asks, fearing the worse, to which J answers in confirmation, "Yup." This causes Gure to be depressed again.
They observe J's behaviour around Hayakawa, which is much more relaxed and open than before. Then, they see a red mark on J's neck, which was partially covered by the yukata.
"J…is he your…?" Tsubaki asks, his hand trembling as he points in Hayakawa's direction and slightly red in the face.
"Hai…" J blushes, "he's my lover."
Sui asks, "Is he good to you?"
"Yeah…I feel safe with him," J smiles happily.
Both Sui and Tokitaka nod in approval, "That's good…" while Tsubaki and Gure casually threaten him… Hayakawa, of course, casually threatened them back.
Hayakawa does ask if J wants to live with him, which he says yes to, but as for the matter of work… J says that he's not ready to quit Rokuhoudou yet. It's like a second home to him, and Hayakawa understands that. So, they move into a place that's close to the outskirts, between the two cities.
'It'll be a while before J decides to quit his part-time job, but if he's happy, it's worth it,' Hayakawa smiles as he kisses J, "I love you."
"I love you too," J happily replies as he pulls him into another kiss.
