The next day…

J is already packed and ready to see the heir of the Hayakawa group. Tenna hugs him, "I'll miss you…"

"We'll see each other at school, OK?" J smiles as he tries to reassure her.

"Yeah… see you at school," Tenna puts on a brave smile as he leaves first.

J takes his black travel bag and goes to school like usual. When confronted by the other members of the student council though…

"You're moving?!" Hotaru and Shiratori yell.

"You're getting married?!" Haruto yells.

J sighs, "It's a political marriage my parents set up. It was originally for Tenna but… I couldn't let that happen, so I offered to go instead. Besides, it can't be stopped either…"

As the guys are left speechless, J assures them, "I'll be fine…now, back to work."


Later that day…

J gets a taxi to an apartment complex about twenty minutes away from the school. The building was standard.

As J paid the driver and got his bag, he went up to the third floor, and to room 3007. Taking a deep breath, J rang the doorbell.

When the door opened, J sees a familiar face wearing white pants and a green shirt…while Hayakawa also sees a familiar face wearing a school uniform. Stunned, they are silent for a moment before Hayakawa offers, "Uh…come in."

J nods as he gets in with his bag before the door closed behind him and he set his bag on the floor.

After taking off his shoes, J takes a seat on the couch with Hayakawa following suit. They stare at each other.

"Um…I'm Jinguuji Kouma, the heir of the Jinguuji Company," J introduces himself first, "Please call me J."

"Hayakawa Tsubasa, the heir of the Hayakawa group," Hayakawa replies back.

They were both stunned into silence once again before bursting into laughter.

"What the heck…" they both laugh as it turns out the other was their crush/love interest all along.

"I never thought you'd be the heir of the group/company that I'm marrying," they both say at the same time.

"Let's get along, OK?" Hayakawa smiles.

"Un!" J nods, smiling back.

After J unpacks his things, they both talk into the night about their situation, and anything else they can think of, from their favorite colors and food to their three year age difference, which isn't much considering J will be eighteen in a year and graduating high school. A marriageable age and time…

When it was time for bed, they take turns taking a shower and change clothes. The both of them are wearing shirts and yoga pants but in their respective colors.

Hayakawa looks between J and the only bed. It's a king-sized bed but…

"I can sleep on the couch if you want?" Hayakawa offers.

"No…I can't push you out of your own bed. I'll sleep on the couch," J offers back.

After a few minutes of arguing about sleeping arrangements, they finally decide to share the bed, their backs turned away from each other.

"Are we dating now?" J asks, his small back pressing against Hayakawa's larger one.

"I guess…do want to date me?" Hayakawa can't help but ask as he pressed back.

J smiles to himself, "Yeah… I'd like that…"

"J…I like you," Hayakawa smiles as he rolls over to see J's back and sees J's ears turn red.

"I…like you too," J replies as too rolls over towards Hayakawa, "I like you a lot," he adds as he blushes. Hayakawa smiles, moving in to kiss J's lips before sharply retreating. 'Was that too soon?' he asks himself as he looks to J's response.

"Goodnight, Hayakawa-san," J buries his head under the covers, thinking to himself, 'That was my first kiss!' before falling asleep.

"Goodnight, J," Hayakawa smiles at the cute reaction of his boyfriend as he too falls asleep.


The next morning…

Somehow…J ended up in Hayakawa's arms. That was what J woke up to, at least. The feeling of being held, the warmth as he slept, listening to the other's steady rhythmic heartbeat…made J blush, but he couldn't get out of Hayakawa's grip no matter how hard he struggled. So, he tried to wake him up, "Hayakawa-san…Hayakawa-san! Wake up!"

Scrunching his eyes, Hayakawa blinks himself awake, "Oh…good morning," he smiles as he sees J in his arms.

"Good morning," J sighs, "Now, can you please let me go?"

Hayakawa nods as he reluctantly lets go while J rushes to the bathroom and gets ready for the day.

When J came out, he was already in uniform, Hayakawa had already changed into his uniform too.

After getting breakfast, the two walk together until they had to go their separate ways.

"I have time after work today…do you want to go somewhere?" Hayakawa asks.

"Hm?" J tilts his head to the side, "Are you asking me out on a date?"

Hayakawa raises an eyebrow, "And if I am?"

J blushes slightly, "Uh…" not knowing what else to say.

Hayakawa laughs, "You don't have to if you don't want to," as he rumples J's hair.

"I…want to…but," J hesitates before shaking his head and making up his mind, "When should we meet then?"

Blinking in surprise, Hayakawa smiles, "Around 17:00 then?"

J nods with a determined look in his eyes, "I think I can make it then."

They wave to each other as one went to school while the other went to work.


While in the Student Council room…

"So….how's your future husband? Is he giving you trouble?" Haruto asks as they do the paperwork and homework for the day.

J shakes his head, "No…he's…a good man. We get along just fine."

Shiratori smiles, "Glad to hear it then."

"When can we meet him?" Hotaru asks excitedly.

That question only gets silence as an answer before J says, "Uh…I'll have to ask him…"

Hotaru nods as he takes that as an answer before getting back to work.

J finishes quickly then looks at the time. 16:45 PM. "Ah! Sorry…can I leave the rest to you guys?"

"Yeah…but what're you in such a rush for?" Haruto asks.

"I've got a date that I can't be late to…" J says.

"I see…you've got a date…" Haruto nods then realizes what J just said, "What?! With who?!"

"That barista from Café de Wayne," J smiles.

"But what about your political marriage partner?" Shiratori asks.

J laughs, "That's just it… He is my political marriage partner. Hopefully, it can turn into a real marriage soon…" he looks at the time again, 16:47 PM. "Well, I've got to go. See you tomorrow!" as he runs out.

The others are left speechless…before Haruto asks, "What the heck just happened?!"

Shiratori smiles, "I think J's in love…"


Meanwhile….

Hayakawa finally finished with work as the last customer was sent off. Sighing in relief, he quickly looked at the time. 16:50 PM.

He quickly gets ready, changing into a butler outfit, adjusting his tie while asking Tachibana, "Do I look OK?"

"Yeah, you look fine…" Tachibana says but with one look at Hayakawa's worried expression, "You going on a date?"

"Yes," he admits.

"Then it's fine…he may even like a man in uniform," Tachibana smiles as he tries to reassure his friend.

"I suppose," Hayakawa calms down and smiles.

"Introduce him to me sometime," Tachibana smiles, leaving Hayakawa a bit speechless.


When he goes outside, he sees J sitting on a bench, panting like he just ran there.

"Ah…am I late?" J gasps as he stares at Hayakawa in uniform.

Hayakawa looks at the time. 17:00 PM. "No…actually, you're right on time," he says before asking, "You ran here?"

"Yeah…" J smiles, "Didn't want to be late…"

Hayakawa can't help but smile, "Well…don't overdo it…" as he sits next to J, patting his head as he waits for him to catch his breath.

J leans into his touch and sighs in delight. "Where are we going for that date?" he asks, still a bit tired.

Hayakawa chuckles, "I was thinking of going to the park…but if you're too tired, we can just head home…"

J blinks then stands up energetically, "I'm OK! I just needed to catch my breath is all! I'm not tired at all…"

Hayakawa smiles, "Alright then…"

He gets up too, and they walk together towards the park, their hands almost touching. They both try not to notice this…but fail. They're completely aware, but still… neither makes a move as they keep walking.

When they get to the park, they sit on a bench near a crepe stand, and people watch for a bit. Some kids running around playing, joggers jogging, birds chirping, etc. All was peaceful as the breeze kicked up a few yellow and red leaves.

Turning to each other, they talk about their day…

J gets a text from Tenna and smiles before sighing.

"What's wrong?" Hayakawa asks.

"My friends and sister would like to meet you," J smiles sheepishly.

Hayakawa smiles sheepishly back, "My friend wants to meet you too."

"We should schedule a meet up…say…this weekend?" J suggests.

Hayakawa nods, "That's fine…I'd rather get the whole, "You hurt him, I'll hurt you," shovel talk over with."

J snorts, "Me too."

Then they hear rumbling. J blushes, patting his stomach, "Sorry…"

Hayakawa laughs before his stomach also rumbles, causing him to blush too, which makes J laugh.

After getting a snack from the crepe stand, they sit down and eat. J ordered a blueberry and banana crepe with chocolate sauce while Hayakawa got the strawberry and kiwi with cream.

J and Hayakawa both hum as they eat up their crepes, and share a bite of the other's crepe as well.

When finished, Hayakawa spies some chocolate sauce and cream on J's cheek, "You have something there…"

"Where?" J blinks at him.

Hayakawa wipes the cream and chocolate off with his finger before licking it off, "There."

J blushes, embarrassed as Hayakawa smiles.

They talk for a half an hour before going home. This time, Hayakawa firmly held J's hand in his. "Um…Hayakawa-san?"

Hayakawa looks at J, who's slightly blushing, probably embarrassed just by holding hands in public, and feels him tremble a bit in his grip. "It's fine…" is all he says to assure J, tightening his grip as they walk home.


Once the door of the apartment was closed, Hayakawa hauled J to the couch and kissed him on the lips, getting on top of him.

"Mmph! Mm…" Gasping, J asks from under him, face red, "Hayakawa-san?"

"Sorry, …you're just…too cute," Hayakawa pants as he kisses J's cheeks, his eyes, his forehead...anywhere he could reach.

"Mm…m'not cute…" J complains before being kissed again, Hayakawa nibbling his ear, "Nn…Hayakawa-san…"

"Call me Tsubasa when we're alone…" Hayakawa says in a husky voice, making shivers run up J's spine.

"Hai…Tsubasa…Mm," J moans, gripping Hayakawa's jacket as his ear is licked.

"Good boy…Kouma," Hayakawa whispers in J's ear as his kisses down his nape.

"No marks…" J reminds him, still hanging onto his jacket.

Hayakawa sighs, "I know…" as he scrapes his teeth on J's sensitive skin, causing J to shudder.

They kiss once more, a deeper kiss than the last, Hayakawa's tongue guiding J's, tasting his sweetness before gasping for breath again. They pant and calm down before Hayakawa lays down on top of J.

J groans, "You're heavy…"

Hayakawa smiles before rolling over and wrapping his arms around J, who smiles despite himself as he smells Hayakawa's scent.

"You smell like coffee grounds…" J mumbles.

Hayakawa replies, "You smell good too…like blueberries."

Eventually, they both get up and eat dinner, then off to bed. J wearing just his boxers and a white shirt while Hayakawa is in just his boxers.

Hayakawa gulps when looking at J's flawless pale skin, thinking about how delicious it must taste… While J blushes as he looks at Hayakawa's muscles…especially that six-pack and how much larger and stronger he is compared to himself.

Awkwardness and temptation aside, they both get in bed together, face-to-face. Once under the covers, Hayakawa asks, "Is it weird to say that I want all of your firsts to be with me?"

J blushes, shaking his head, "No…it's not….just embarrassing."

Hayakawa smiles, "That's good…"

"That day we met…why did you sit with me?" J asks, eyes curious.

Hayakawa answers, "Well…I guess I just wanted some company and you looked like you could use it. The fact that you looked like a cute small animal isn't bad either."

"What do you like about me exactly?" J playfully glares.

"You first…" Hayakawa playfully glares back.

"You…I like your laugh, your smile, your beautiful purple eyes…how you look in a butler uniform…and how you were kind enough to sit with me…I guess," J blushes as he mumbles that last part.

Hayakawa blushes at J's words before saying, "I like that you're kind, strong, a leader…but really…you just want affection. Every time I touch you, you lean into it…are you that touch starved?"

J narrows his eyes, not bothering to answer that, "Anything else?"

Hayakawa laughs, "Of course! I like your laugh, your smile, the way your eyes sparkle like gold when you're excited about something…"

"Alright! I get it! You can stop now!" J blushes as he hides under the covers again. Hayakawa laughs as he hugs J again, J snuggled into his chest.

Yawning, "Let's talk more tomorrow…Tsubasa," J mumbles as he quickly falls asleep.

Hayakawa smiles, "Goodnight Kouma…" as he too falls asleep.
