This chapter took a little longer than expected because I felt like QInu was taking over. Then I realized I'm doin a bunch of harueru fics so it wouldn't hurt to flesh out the b-couple a bit more.

"So how's things going with L-elf?", Shoko asked.

"Great! Great. No complaints here."

"That's great! I'm really glad you guys are getting along. I just talked to Inuzuka and things are going well there too."

"He's always been good with people though. I wouldn't worry about him. Did he tell you about Q-vier's party?"

"Yeah. I bet he's excited. I'll see you and L-elf there?"

"Definitely."

"Then, I'll see you later."

"Until then."

Shoko hung up and sighed happily, then jumped from her seat and punched the air. She even danced around her office a little. Things were going great. Two problem children had a home and in the weeks that had passed, they had settled in just fine. Putting them with Haruto and Inuzuka made things easier for her. They were both old friends that she trusted. She knew in their hands, nothing bad would happen to the boys and hopefully they'd be set on the right path.

She meant to ask Haruto what is plans were for L-elf once he was no longer a minor, but that had slipped her mind.

Q-vier had thought about it for maybe two days before becoming certain about his feelings. Playing some otome games had helped. He realized very quickly that he was in love. The feeling was foreign to him, but it was similar to other things he felt, which had him confused at first. He felt pleasure at driving down an enemy with gunfire or stabbing an opponent through the gut. The way his heart beat picked up whenever his guardian was particularly close reminded him of that.

Once he understood that it was love, it was very easy what to do from there. Q-vier had been used to distract a target once before. Allowing someone to touch him had been absolutely disgusting, but during their interaction the target was completely enamored with Q-vier, spouting words of love and affection. If he did the same things as before, he would win the heart of his love.

Q-vier did it like he always did, going for the kill right away. Before Inuzuka woke up at seven in the morning, Q-vier snuck into his room and crawled into bed with him. The elder shifted and the sudden weight in the bed but became still again. Q-vier turned him onto his back and sat on his hips. He moved up a little and leaned in close to whisper into his ear.

"Kyuma, wake up~", he licked the shell of Inuzuka's ear before giving it a gentle nip.

A moan and another shift, but he was determined to remain in dreamland. Q-vier frowned but he was never deterred easily. Instead he sucked on Inuzuka's neck and reached down to sneak a hand into his pants. The moment his fingers curled around, Inuzuka's eyes snapped open and he stared, not at Q-vier, but almost beyond him. After a moment, those amber eyes settled on the redhead but he didn't speak, as if he was just taking it in and assessing the situation.

"Good morning", Q-vier greeted before starting to stroke him slowly.

That brought Inuzuka to his senses and he moved, pushing the younger onto his back. For a second, Q-vier was surprised at the sudden move and had released his hold but then he smirked.

"So aggressive~"

"What do you think you're doing?" Inuzuka's voice was rough from just waking up but there was something else there. Something Q-vier didn't expect.

"What do you mean? I'm trying to have sex with you."

"Why?"

"I love you."

A lopsided smile came to Inuzuka's lips and he got up to sit on the side of the bed with his back to the other. He leaned back on his hands.

"Q-vier, that's not love. No, it's a different kind of love. You're looking at me as an older brother. Considering your life, it's not hard to see why you'd get confused. Listen, one day you'll love someone romantically. When you do, don't jump them in the bed while they're still sleeping."

"You're wrong! I love you and that means we have to have sex!"

Inuzuka turned slightly to ruffle Q-vier's bed hair. "I have to go into the office for something today. I need to get dressed", he said before standing and heading into his large walk in closet.

Q-vier sat there, dejected. "Liar. It's Saturday."

Inuzuka didn't come to breakfast and instead went right to the garage to be driven to his building. Q-vier didn't stay sad for long. While he chewed on his omelet, he began working on plan B. After eating, he went into the kitchen, it was his first time doing so. The chef was surprised to see him.

"Something wrong, Young Master?", she asked.

"I want to make Kyuma something for lunch. But I've never cooked before. Can you help me?"

"I would be happy to. So you're going to surprise him at the office?"

Q-vier nodded. "I've never been there before but I should visit sometimes, right? I'm sure it'll make him happy."

The chef smiled, unable to see the devious aura behind the innocent looking smile. She helped him make a bento lunch. They split the work evenly. Once it was done and wrapped up, she sent him on his way to be taken to the office by one of the drivers. He sat in the backseat and watched their secluded mansion give way to the city. He was dropped off in front of a skyscraper.

"Do you want me to wait for you, Young Master?", the driver asked.

"No. I'll be fine." With that, he entered and went right to the front desk. It was elevated and obnoxiously so. The desk reached Q-vier's shoulders so he could barely see over it.

"Hey!"

"Maybe I help you?", the woman at the desk asked, typing away at her computer, hardly sparing him a glance.

"I'm here to see Kyuma. Where is he?"

"Do you have an appointment to see Mr. Inuzuka?"

"I'm his son."

She did a double take and typed something in quickly. "Ah, I see. Mr. Inuzuka's adopted child." She cleared her throat. "He should be in his office, I'll tell him you're here."

"No. I'm going to surprise him with lunch. Just tell me where he is."

She did just that, giving him directions. Q-vier went to the elevator and took it all the way up to the top floor. Once he got out, a few people gave him strange looks, but figured he was someone's kid. He wasn't distracted and made the way towards his destination. Without knocking, he went into Inuzuka's office and locked the door behind him.

"Q-vier? What are you doing here?", he looked up from a document.

"I came to bring you lunch", the other answered, holding up the bento.

"Ah, thanks", Inuzuka instantly relaxed. It was just lunch, something as innocently simple as that. "Well, bring it over." He cleared part of his desk so nothing would get messed up.

Q-vier walked over and sat it down in front of him, opening to reveal the contents. "The chef helped me make it. What do you think? It looks really good doesn't it?"

"Sure does."

"I'll feed you!"

"Huh? Hey!"

Inuzuka's protests were ignored as Q-vier got into his lap and held the bento in one hand, chopsticks in the other. Knowing his stubborn attitude, the older resigned himself to being fed. And to his credit, the lunch was good.

'He must be trying to apologize for this morning.'

Q-vier continued to feed him until the bento box was empty. He set the box onto the desk behind him and his smile turned a little sinister, which felt incredibly out of place on his young face. Inuzuka tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but the events of this morning continued to replay in his mind.

"Earlier, you said I mistaken. But you're the one who's wrong." His hands loosened Inuzuka's tie and began to unbutton the top of his shirt. "I've had friends - guys I think of as brothers. It's nothing like what I feel for you."

Inuzuka put his hands on the boy's shoulders but didn't push him away. "Even if you truly believe that, this can't happen."

Q-vier ignored him and kissed his neck, determined to leave a hickey. Inuzuka's grip tightened and he hesitated just as someone knocked on the door. He didn't bother with the tie and kept it as is, instead focusing on buttoning up his shirt.

"Yes?"

"Sir, your 1:30 meeting is about to begin", a voice said on the other side.

"I'll be right there", Inuzuka replied before looking to Q-vier. "You are going home. And as soon as I'm done with work we'll...talk." He pushed the other off his lap and fixed his tie as he left the room.

"Um, L-elf, you don't really have to do this."

"You are unbelievably incompetent when it comes to your own well being, so yes, I must."

"Eh? You really care about me that much?"

"Why do JIORans have to everything sound so sentimental. You are my source of food and shelter. It is in my best interests to keep you in good condition."

"Even so...is something like this really necessary?"

As the conversed about the situation at hand, the situation itself was as follows - Haruto was currently in the shower, getting his hair washed by a very naked, ver wet L-elf. Not that he could see, since his eyes were closed but there wasn't a large space between them as one would imagine. Haruto wasn't one to complain too much about something he liked so after the initial protests he allowed himself to enjoy it.

In a few days was Q-vier's birthday party and hopefully his old senpai would be able to provide some wisdom for Haruto's problem.
