-=Chapter Two-=-
"When will that stupid man take the hint and-!"
"Doctor Umeda?" Called a voice from the hallway door.
With an exasperated growl he turned around and spotted the offending student. "What is it now?" His voice just asking for a reason to yell at someone.
"I was wondering if you..." Finally the tone registered with the student and he trailed off, his eyes darting around in unease.
"Yes?..." Umeda asked, his voice a little too sweet.
"T-the office is asking for the student's health record they requested this morning. I can come back later if you want, its no-" He took a step back, preparing for a hasty retreat.
"No, I have it right here." He walked over and picked up the file he had been trying to read for the last hour. "But what are you willing to do to get it?" With that, he grinned roguishly.
The student blinked and looked completely lost. "Pardon?..."
Umeda's grin widened and he went over and picked up the file, leaning his hip against the desk while tapping the file's corner against his lower lip. "It's not that complicated of a question really, quite simple once you think about it..." He was in a bad mood and had already decided to mess with the kid's head a bit, why not cause nightmares while he's at it? "What's your name? You're new..."
"Yes Sir, I just transferred from Kumamoto High. My name is Hikoki Kaji."
"Really now...how fascinating." He smiled charmingly and pushed off the desk, taking the few necessary steps to bring him within about three feet of the kid. "And what year are you Hikoki?" Umeda asked, giving him the once over.
"This is my last year: I graduate in a few months. Why?" Eyeing him skeptically the boy held his ground.
"I thought you looked more...mature...that your fellow students." The doctor commented quietly.
The boy blinked again, but this time didn't look quite so puzzled. He looked thoughtful if anything. 'That wasn't the reaction I was expecting...' Umeda thought silently. 'I should quit while I'm ahead.' With that, he turned back around and went over to the desk, then leaned down and signed a piece of paper in the folder. "Here Hikoki, take this back to-" Umeda turned around and came face to face with the boy, nearly bumping into him.
"Kaji." The student corrected, staring at the doctor's mouth.
"What?" Umeda asked, taking half a step back until he ran into the desk.
"Don't play coy Doctor, it's not becoming of a man in your situation." Hikoki closed the gap between them and then reached out, laying his hand on the older man's chest.
"And what exactly, do you think my position is?" The doctor asked, reaching up and brushing the other man's hand away; the movement only succeeding in moving the hand to his lower stomach. 'This sooooooo was not the plan...' Umeda though, way past being exasperated with overly-bold men.
"You were flirting with me just now, it took me a while to believe it because I wasn't expecting it." He braced his other hand on the desk beside Umeda's hip, his thumb idly tracing the subtle curve of it beneath the doctor's slacks.
"I flirt with lots of people, and they are going to miss you in the office..." Umeda was beginning to look slightly bored as he reached down and calmly slid the hand over a few inches, freeing himself from the exploring digit.
Kaji just grinned and moved the hand on Umeda's stomach a little lower, the recently moved one returning to its original game of teasing Umeda's hip. "Nice try, but no...They won't miss me for another hour or so."
Umeda was starting to get annoyed now and grabbed both the boy's hands harshly, holding them by Kaji's sides. "I have no intention of-"
"What on earth are you doing Umeda?!" Hearing his name the man turned and stared at the frowning face in the window. It was none other than Akiha, and he looked like he wasn't sure if he should be mad or laugh.
"You..." Umeda glared, still not releasing the boy's hands.
"No, the girl next door...Yes it's me!" He threw one of his long legs over the sill and climbed in easily. "Cheating already? I can't believe it!" Akiha walked over to them both as Umeda just sighed and released the boy, sitting down in his chair with a tired look on his face.
"You never give up, do you?" He said under his breath, propping his chin up on his hand.
"Not when I know what I want." Akiha whispered back, winking at him so the kid couldn't see. "And what are you thinking, hitting on the father of my children?" Akiha added scornfully to the boy. "I don't take care of them at home all day so that pubescent little boys can hit on my lover!"
The boy's eyes got huge and he stuttered something.
"Well, is that all you've got to say?" Akiha accused, taking a step towards the boy.
Through the whole exchange, Umeda was just sitting there, the only indication that he heard anything being the slight twitch at the mention of his "children."
"I-I'm sorry!" The kid stammered and then grabbed the file before dashing out the door.
Akiha just laughed after he was out of earshot and flopped into the extra chair next to the desk.
"What in the hell was that about?" Umeda asked calmly after he was settled. "Our having children is physically impossible, and I'm not your lover..."
"Not yet, but it sure got rid of him didn't it?" Akiha said with a smile, winking again as he took a sip of water from the bottle he had forgotten on Umeda's desk.
