The next day, Hoshitani and Ootori made their way to Ootori's house. It was, surprisingly, in a suburb close to the city. The house itself was painted white with the mailbox labeled Ootori.

Ootori opened the door, and just went in, Hoshitani following behind him. After taking off their shoes, they went into the living room, Hoshitani looking around. It was a normal home, with some of the walls remaining unpainted and some family photos around.

"Oh! Itsuki! Welcome back!" a woman with blue hair cheers. Ootori smiles, "I'm back."

"And who is this cutie?" she asks. Hoshitani bows, "I'm Hoshitani Yuuta. Nice to meet you."

She laughs, "Such a polite young man. I'm Ootori Sayuri. You can call me, Sayuri, dear."

Hoshitani smiles, "Un!"

Then, a man with hair similar to Ootori's came in. "Honey, I'm home!" he yells.

Sayuri-san goes over to him, "Oh, dear. This is Hoshitani Yuuta. Itsuki brought him here."

The man raises an eyebrow, "Is that so? Well, I'm Ootori Takeshi. Nice to meet you."

Hoshitani answers, "Me too. It's nice to meet you."

Sayuri-san says, "Oh. I almost forgot to get the tea. I'll be right back!"

Ootori-san greets, "It's nice to see you, Itsuki. How've you and Tsubasa been?"

Ootori smiles, "Good."

Ootori-san smiles, "That's good."

Just then, Sayuri-san brought in the tea, and they all sat down on the couch. Hoshitani drinks the tea and smiles, Ootori smiling back at him.

"Ne, can I see your photo album?" Hoshitani asks innocently.

Ootori, knowing what Hoshitani's doing, smiles, "You can see it later. But, you want to see my room, right?"

Hoshitani smiles back, "Sure."


Once the two leave, Sayuri-san coos, "Isn't Hoshitani-kun cute? And he's polite too. He's perfect for Itsuki."

Takeshi smiles, "Yeah. He seems like he's in good hands."

Sayuri-san smiles, "I know, right?"


Meanwhile, Hoshitani and Ootori go upstairs to Ootori's old room. Apparently, it was left exactly as it was. A room painted purple with bookshelves, a desk, a speaker system, and two beds beside each other, one with red sheets and one with blue sheets.

Hoshitani looked around the room, figuring out that Ootori shared it once with Hiiragi-Senpai, a long time ago.

Then, Ootori spoke, "I know what you're doing."

Hoshitani smiles, tilting his head, "Doing what?"

Ootori smiles back, "That you're getting revenge on me for what happened yesterday."

Hoshitani hums, then tackles Ootori to one of the beds, the one with red sheets, and looks at him. "Hm~. This is just payback for all your teasing, Itsuki," Hoshitani smiles as he kisses him.

Ootori breaks the kiss, "Only kissing."

Hoshitani giggles, "I know," then kisses him again.

They make out again for twenty minutes, then Ootori excuses himself to use the bathroom. Hoshitani takes the opportunity to go back downstairs to see that photo album.

Once downstairs, Hoshitani sees Sayuri-san with the photo album. She notices him, "Want to see?"

Hoshitani nods, and sits down on the couch with her as she reminisces about Ootori and Hiiragi's childhood. Hoshitani listens as his Senpai/lover doesn't talk about himself much, and is pretty much a mystery to him. Then, they get to a picture of Ootori in middle school, and a picture of Ootori in a dress.

Hoshitani smiles fondly at the first picture while he looks at second with awe. Sayuri-san smiles, "You know, Itsuki almost never brings people home."

Hoshitani smiles, "I can imagine."

Sayuri-san says, "You must be special to him. So please, take care of him."

Hoshitani nods, "I'll do my best!"

Sayuri-san laughs, "Good. Now then, this next picture is of Itsuki and Tsubasa when they were three…"

It was then that Ootori came back downstairs, only to discover, to his horror, that Hoshitani was with his mother and looking at the photo album. Ootori quickly grabbed the book and closed before putting it as far away from Hoshitani as possible.

Hoshitani just laughs, then asks, "Can I stay for dinner?"

Just before Sayuri-san answered, Ootori smiles, "Actually, we have to go back to my apartment tonight, so we can't stay long."

Ootori picks up and puts Hoshitani over his shoulder before going, "I'll see you when I see you!"

Hoshitani yells, "Bye!"

Sayuri-san whines, "Aw~! And we were having so much fun~," while Takeshi-san just shakes his head, "Kids these days…"


Ootori had managed to carry Hoshitani all the way back to his apartment. After locking the door, he dumped Hoshitani on the couch.

"Now that we're alone…" Ootori says before he kisses Hoshitani, Hoshitani responding to it.

Hoshitani laughs, "Is this just to prevent you from being mortified?"

Ootori hums, "Half right. I also wanted to ask you something."

Hoshitani tilts his head, questioning like a puppy, "Hm?"

"Your mother… is she…" Ootori hesitates, then Hoshitani shakes his head.

"They divorced a long time ago. I guess they just weren't right for each other," Hoshitani says.

Ootori frowns, "I'm sorry for prying. I didn't mean to-"

Hoshitani smiles, "It's OK. They're still friends."

Ootori smiles, "Good."

"Your parents are nice people," Hoshitani comments.

Ootori smiles, "I'm just glad you didn't meet my grandfather. To be honest, he scares me."

Hoshitani looks at him in shock for a second before laughing, "It's OK. And as long as we're being honest, your mom showed me a picture of you in a dress."

Ootori looks mortified, but Hoshitani smiles in reassurance, "It's OK. You looked pretty."

That only made it worse though, so Hoshitani took the initiative and kissed him. Ootori hums into it.

"You don't have to tease me so much, you know," Hoshitani says.

Ootori hums, "It's not that I try to… mostly." Hoshitani's thought: 'I knew it!' "It's just that it's fun to see the expressions I can get out of you. I want to see everything. Besides, it is fun to see you get so riled up."

Hoshitani blushes, "Mou!" He sighs, "You'll go slow, right? We don't have to rush anything?"

Ootori smiles, "As you wish. But right now, do you want to just lay here and make out, Yuuta?"

Hoshitani smiles back, "Sure, Itsuki," and they make out for the rest of the night.


Omake 2:

When Hoshitani was doing homework at Ootori's apartment, he had his back turned to Ootori, who was laying down on the couch.

Ootori watched his lover, his expressions and focused face. He thought it was cute, and wanted attention. So, he kissed the back of his lover's neck, making said lover squeak in surprise, a blush on his face.

Hoshitani, pen in hand, glared, "I still have to finish this up. You aren't getting any until then."

Ootori pouts and whines, "But you've been working on it for an hour~. And you're ignoring me~."

Hoshitani sighs, "I'll pay attention to you after I finish this." Ootori moans, but waits patiently.

As he wrote the last of his art assignment, "Done!" It was then that Ootori grabbed Hoshitani and dragged him into the bedroom for some attention.


Omake 3:

Ootori was tired, and decided to nap while hugging Hoshitani's waist, burying his head in his lover's lap. "Um…what are you doing, Itsuki?"

Ootori mumbles a response, "Hm...I need a recharge. Let me stay like this for a while."

Hoshitani sighs, letting him do what the wants as he pets Ootori's head.
