"Yes."

As if on cue, Atobe's phone peeped. Yukimura. He knew without even looking at the caller id. Yukimura seemed to know when Atobe was being unfaithful.

"See ya around, Monkey King." Echizen nodded to him before leaving.

Atobe didn't bother replying. He was too busy buttoning his shirt. Atobe absently thought how the cap had never been removed during the entire make out session. He let the phone buzz. He refused to be controlled by a machine. And besides, he'd already made his mind up. It was time to stop running.
