"Goddamnit, where did I put it?" He grumbled at himself repeatedly as he roamed the papers piled over his bed. He had to get to the University in twenty minutes to take over a lecture. He promised one of the professors in his field that he would help her seeing as though her daughter was in the hospital and she could barely concentrate at school(They knew something was wrong when she entered the office with awful black shoes with holes on the top, the usual fashion diva she was). He photocopied her lecture notes and even made a couple of notes himself for what he was going to say at the tutorial. Though now it seemed like he had trouble finding it, "Not now, damnit. Where is it?" He strolled through the rest of his bag, the toilet, the shelves, the computer desk, he scanned the floor to no avail.

The sudden sound of laughter halted his observations and initial panic as he turned his head towards the closed door. Nowaki? Why was he home so early? He looked around for a place to hide.

"Hiro-san? Are you here?" The questionable voice made him pause, and rub at his temple. How did Nowaki even know he was there? Oh right, he didn't exactly lock the door, and he had kicked aside his shoes after tripping over them trying to find his notes.

"Here! I-I'm here!" He called and jogged towards the door to greet him, opening it up. The sight before him caused him to pause. Nowaki smiled in return and he would have too if his eyes didn't fall on the extra figure in the room, inside his house. He forced his voice polite, trying not to look irritated, "Hello.. Tsumori-san."

"Hi Hiro-chin!" The sickening sweet voice made a vein pop up. He bit back his response, 'don't call me that!' as Nowaki regarded him.

"The hospital's not really busy so we took a break. I was hoping to take a shower before I go back." Nowaki explained setting his bag aside on the table.

So why is he here? Hiroki looked at Tsumori suspiciously.

"How about you? Nowaki told me you were taking over someone's lecture."

Nowaki. He was saying his name so upfront. Though he felt a sense of happiness knowing that Nowaki actually listened to him. He looked dead tired last night.

"Hahahaha.. Yeah, I'm already done so.." Hiroki lied between his teeth. He had to be there soon. There was no way he would make it now

"Okay." Nowaki hesitated, before pressing a light kiss on his cheek. Hiroki blinked and stared blankly at Tsumori who kept his creepy grin on them the entire time. Usually he would shove Nowaki away, but he thought twice about it, "I'm going to take that shower. Senpai, don't bother him too much, k?"

"I won't!" Tsumori called after him before he turned his full attention on Hiroki. This couldn't be good, "So Kami-san, since you don't have work, want to give me a tour?"

Not like you need it you insolent brat, "Please don't call me that." Hiroki grit out in semi-annoyance. He glanced at his phone. Five more minutes. He noticed a message and blinked as he read the contents, "I need to go back to the university."

"The University? But you told us you were done! I guess I'll just wait for him." Tsumori shrugged as he fell back against the couch. He turned his head when he heard nervous laughter coming from the side.

"Hahaha.. I was just kidding." Hiroki told him. Nowaki was taking a shower. Tsumori was probably going to take advantage of him. Or jump in the shower as a lousy joke, it did sound like something he would do. Well, whatever the case may be, he sure as hell wouldn't be letting them stay here alone. Not in his house. Not again.

"I knew that already, you just wanted to escape me, didn't you?" Tsumori asked with a sneaky grin, "But you can't, sneaky Kitty-chan, now give me a tour."

"Okay." Hiroki faked a smile, "Just hold on a minute." He said as he gripped the phone in his pocket and walked away without another word. Entering the room he and Nowaki shared, he closed the door behind him and glanced down at the message again.

PM: Oi Kamijou-sensei, where are you? You left your notes on your desk. You want me to come over there and give it to you?

H: I'm still at home right now..

He had attained a reply almost immediately.

PM: ... Okay. Did you forget you promised to run big mama's class today?

H: I'm sorry Professor, but due to unforeseen (nuisances), I won't be able to make it. Can you please take those notes and carry on with the class?

He hesitated before adding, I'll make it up to you.

PM: Leave it to me! -thumbs up-

Hiroki blinked down at the message. That was quick. Oh great. Now he owed Professor one. There was no taking it back now.

"Oh, where are you sweet Kami of Christ?" The unwelcome nuisance called from the living room.

Oh, but how he wished they could switch places. Oh, how he wished...
