Thanks for reviewing everyone!
Prompt: JFantasist. Thank you! I almost forgot about Jack and the Beanstalk!
"Wow! Usagi san look! It got bigger!"
Akihiko looked up from his manuscript and saw his lover watering the plant that was recently introduced to thier home. It had indeed gotten bigger since Misaki first planted it.
"What kind is it again?"
Misaki smiled at the writer. "It's an edamame plant."
Akihiko nodded and smiled at Misaki. He loved watching Misaki smile over it.
"I think if I keep taking care of it then it might get bigger."
"How big do you want it to be?"
"Until it reaches the sky like Jack and the Beanstalk."
Misaki laughed a little before catching the expression on Usagi san's face. He looked rather worried.
"Uh..um....It's not going to happen! It's just a joke Usagi san! Plants can't get that big, even you must know that!"
Akihiko just shrugged and went back to his manuscript. Misaki gazed questioningly at his lover before he glanced at the clock.
"Eh! It's already that time?! Usagi san, I'm going to school now! There's food in the fridge and don't forget to take the aluminumn off again!"
And just like that Misaki was gone. Akihiko looked at the plant and sighed before going over, grabbing it, and leaving the house with it.
Hours later found Misaki at home aweing over his plant again
"Usagi san! It grew five more inches since I left! Isn't that amazing!?"
Akihiko chuckled at his young lover and said, "Indeed. That means you're taking good care of it." He approached the younger and gave him a small kiss.
Little did Misaki know was that Akihiko was taking it to the local nursery and was replacing it with an even bigger edamame, just to see Misaki smile.
I did this to my little brother when he was trying to grow daisies. But he caught me in the act one day!
*Edamame are like baby soybeans but they only reach about three inches when they are ready to be eaten. They only grow about two feet to four feet.
