Chapter 3: Meeting You Guys

3 Years Ago

Koji walked on the sidewalk and walked inside the building where he'll start his new job as a fireman. On top of the building there was a sign that said, 'Ladder 49'. He looked up and then walked inside where he saw one of the Fireman there reading a magazine.

"Oh hey," He greeted walking up to him shaking his hand. "You must be the new rookie, Koji Minamoto right?" He smiled closing his magazine placing his index finger inside saving his page.

"Yes, yes I am."

"I'm Tommy Himi." He greeted.

"Hey,"

"Well, let's get you our leader. C'mon." Tommy led Koji to the office, Koji opened the door and walked in to see his new boss……sleeping. He had his book on his face and drool on his face.

"Ahem." Tommy wanted to laugh but held it in. He woke up sitting up straight, his book falling on the desk and wiped off the drool.

"Takuya, this is Koji Minamoto, the rookie."

"Oh yeah, welcome Koji to Ladder 49." He shook his hand." Tommy waited outside Takuya's office.

"Thank you, Takuya." Koji sat on the chair as well as Takuya.

"So Koji, are you up to being a firefighter?"

"Yes I am, sir

"Good. So I understand that Kouichi Kimura is your twin brother correct?"

"Yes sir he is. He's the reason why I'm a firefighter."

"I see, so he's the reason." He let out a laugh. "Well, I'll be glad to have another pair of siblings here."

"Another?" Koji repeated slowly as he arched a brow.

"Yes, Tommy and his brother Yutaka Himi are here. They're a pretty good team." He yawned. "Well anyway, welcome to Ladder 49, kid. Tommy will show you your locker and the team."

Takuya got up from his chair and Koji noticed that Takuya had only his boxers on that had……..bunnies. Pink….bunnies.

"Um…" Koji looked at him. "It was….um, nice to talk to you, Takuya." He smiled at him.

"No problem Koji." He opened the door for him and Tommy looked at him and then at Takuya.

"I'll see you later then." Takuya closed the door.

"Um…" Koji looked confused. Tommy laughed.

"Let's go, Koji." Tommy patted his back and placed his arm around him laughing. Tommy and Koji walked to a room where they saw the other remaining firefighters. Both of them were playing pool.

"Hey guys! Look whose here!" Everyone looked at Koji and smiled.

"Koji," Kouichi walked over to him and hugged him. "Glad you're here."

"Hey Kouichi," He was glad his brother was there with him.

"Koji, this is my older brother Yutaka." He greeted him.

"Hey Koji, nice meeting you." Yutaka shook hands with him.

"Same here."

"Oh and by the way, we have this mini church thing like the Catholics do and confess and ask questions to the Pastor, and come clean, everyone's required to do this, so Tommy's going to take you there. Is that alright with you?" Yutaka grinned.

"Yeah, there's no problem with that," Koji looked at them weird. "I guess."

"Let's go." Tommy said as he took him to the mini church they had. The mini church wasn't what Koji had imagined; it was the backroom and had a red curtain separating the room.

"Here you are; the Pastor is waiting for you, Koji." Tommy said as he left.

"Thanks." Koji sat down on the chair next to the red curtain.

"Hello Koji," The Pastor said. "How are you today?"

"I'm good Pastor." He replied.

"Wonderful, now, Koji, are you grateful towards your religion?"

"Yes Pastor, yes I am."

"That's good, you should everyday. Now, have you ever had sex yet?"

Koji was taken back by this question. He turned his head sideways a bit. "Um, no. No I haven't."

"So that means your gay right?"

Again, Koji was taken back by the question. "Excuse me?"

"HAHAHA!" Takuya was the Pastor. Everyone walked in by the room next door. "Got your rookie ass!" Everyone laughed and welcomed Koji to Ladder 49.
