At 9:30 I went to go get Kaoru at his hotel. It was in the capital of Norway, which is Oslo. Lukas's house is just outside it, in a small neighboring town. Lukas let me take his blue BMW for this next week since I don't have a car of my own. Driving isn't my favorite past time, but it's definitely convenient.
I couldn't have gotten out of that house fast enough. Mathias came to sit in the living room with me and changed the channel to some stupid TV sitcom. When Lukas finally came in, giving Mathias his breakfast, they started doing some weird couple-y stuff, like sitting together and flirting, Mathias teasing Lukas. Once they finished their meal, Mathias started kissing Lukas, which apparently Lukas decided not to stop and they drifted off into their own little world of love and making out. I was disgusted, and snuck out of the living room to get my bag of packed things. I even managed to get out of the house without Lukas smothering me, although that's only because once I got back downstairs again, Mathias was on top of him. Just look away, just look away...
When I got to Kaoru's hotel room to walk him out, I knocked on the door and he opened it, wearing a huge smile. He wore a red tee with headphones on it, alongside some blue jeans, black sneakers, and a black jacket.
"Hey, you're early!" Kaoru said.
"I came early so we could get some coffee on the way. Is that okay?" I always asked Kaoru if he didn't mind different little things that I did. He was always fine with everything, and even liked my habits, but for some reason I couldn't help but feel like I was being annoying and that I should check with him first.
"Sounds fantastic!" He beckoned me inside for a minute so he could get his shoes tied and grab his stuff. Yao got him a nice room. The walls were a pale blue color, with a TV on one side facing opposite the queen sized bed. There was a table on the far side of the room with a lamp and chair. The bathroom was to my left, which was also fairly nice.
"All right, I'm just about ready to go." He said, his bag next to him. I turned around to exit the room when Kaoru came up from behind me and hugged me. My face turned pink as I blushed from this sudden show of affection. I really liked it. He leaned his head over my shoulder so he could see part of my face. "I was right," he whispered into my ear, "it's hereditary."
As much as I enjoyed his embrace, I pulled out of it so I could turn and glare at him.
"You are super cute when you blush, Icey!" He said, with that beautiful mischevious grin of his.
I huffed "Whatever, lets just go."
We stopped off for coffee at a little shop close to the hotel, and we began the tedious drive to the beach. The drive was a bit dreary, since it was lightly raining and the sky was dark, but that's the kind of weather I enjoy. Kaoru likes it too, since it's such a change from China. There was once a time when we both played in the rain like children. I smile as I remember that while I drive.
Kaoru and I just start chatting about our lives recently. I told him about the horror I had to see this morning, and he laughed.
"Dude, I've dealt with so much worse!" Kaoru says, trying to make me feel better.
"Like what?"
"Well, whenever Ivan comes over, I can hear noise from Yao's bedroom, for one thing." I shudder at the thought. If I could hear sounds from Lukas's room, I would've ran away. "Another time, I walked into my living room and Yao and Ivan were kissing and trying to undress each other!"
"Ewwwwwwww" I stick my tongue out. Kaoru chuckles a bit at my child-like responses to these kinds of things.
"The day you start doing these things yourself, you're first response isn't gonna be 'ewwwww.'" Kaoru said, giving me his mischief smirk again. I blush a little bit and decide I need to focus on the road more. He pats my shoulder, as though he were trying to comfort me. "I know, it's okay."
