Hi everyone! I have some unfortunate news for you. The time it'll take me to write will be lengthened, my laptop broke down so I can't writte as fast. And since I am typing from a tablet there will be many errors, I will try my very best for everyone! Keep smiling! -Lonescript (took me 10 minutes to write the intro...)
It was an irritable day for everyone in Emerald. Onodera was having his usual daily lover's quarrel with the editor in chief and everyone was on edge from the deadlines coming up. Kisa however was more stressed than the rest, he had already told Takano he needed time off for a few days but now he had to contact his family. Which was easier said than done, he had left as soon as he was of legal age. It wasn't that he didn't love them but he had been young and had wanted to find his own way in the world. Him being so busy with work he hadn't contacted them in at least 8 months. He felt badly and feared their reaction to him coming home. They'd be angry for sure but it was what Yukina wanted.
That was another problem. How would his family react to him bringing a man home? How would Yukina react to his family for that matter? He banged his head on the
desk in frustration which startled his coworkers.
"Kisa is everything okay? You've been quiet all day." Mino smiled but the crease between his eyebrows made it look creepier than usual. Kisa sighed dramatically.
"Onodera how do you say no to your lover hmm?" He teased the younger man next to him. He was perfectly aware of his friend's situation as was Hatori but he wanted to drift away from the subject of himself. Mino however was blissfully ignorant about the relationship between the cheif and the rookie manga editor. Onodera's face turned pink but he managed to control himself, clenching his fists he put his papers down.
"I-"
"He doesn't. Isn't it obvious?" Takano took a break from his bickering with his lover to answer in Onodera's stead. This of course gave them a whole other reason to argue. Kisa glanced at the clock on the wall, they would be leaving the day after tomorrow so he needed to hurry and contact his family. This was going to be a train work Kisa didn't bother to text Yukina, knowing he would be waiting up on him at home. He unlocked the door and entered but no greeting came. Only his dark silent apartment, no shining prince. Had he been wrong? He flipped his phone out and checked for messages but there were none. Frowning a bit he sent out a text to his lover.
Hey I thought you were gonna be at my place after work.
A few moments passed before he got a reply.
Sorry I was just packing for our trip. I am really excited!
Crap. Yukina was actually really excited for this. This fact made Yukina's resolve stronger. He scrolled down to his mother's number in his contacts and dialed.
Yukina packed their things into the little space above their heads. The train would be leaving soon so he made himself comfortable in the seat besides Kisa.
"So your family lives in Hokkaido? Are you from there?" Yukina questioned lightly in order to keep the atmosphere.
"Yeah I am. It's nice." Kisa smiled at his home memories. If he gave it a little more thought he was a little home sick.
"Really?! I am from Hokkaido too! Sapporo?"
Kisa paused in surprise. Yes, he was indeed from Sapporo. Had Yukina ever told him where he was from? He didn't think so. His heart fluttered at the fact that they had something in common. From the very beginning of their relationship Kisa had been worried about the gap between them. Whether it be their age, interests or professions they had always had something in the way. At least, that was how Kisa saw it. Now having some common ground to stand on made Kisa feel a lot better. He made a mental note of it, deciding to make a list of things they were able to share together.
Kisa smiled lightly at the flashy bright grin Yukina wore without shame. Perhaps it was silly of him to worry of such things but he couldn't help it. He was hopelessly in love with him. Kisa didn't say the words often due to his less than pleasant past but he really did love Yukina. But he couldn't say the words unless the moment was right, it felt wrong.
Good job Shouta. Once you get rid of a problem you look for another. Fool.
"Kisa? Are you alright? Maybe you should rest a little, the new issue of Starlight Lover came out right? After all that work you deserve some sleep. I'll wake you when we get there." Yukina grabbed his hand and kissed the knuckles in gentle concern.
The older man flushed at the gesture, looking for someone who had seen. But alas they were not seen for they were in a private car. Kisa had paid for the private car so they could make their trip a more enjoyable one. It certainly wasn't cheap but with how long and how hard he had been working as of late he had been able to afford it. The comfy bed located on the other side of the room called out to him. Maybe he did deserve some rest.
He nodded and traveled to the bed. For some reason he was surprised to see that Yukina had joined him. The 22 year old opened a book and sat next to where Kisa's weary body now lay.
"I love you." Kisa whispered softly before flipping onto his side and squeezing his eyes shut. Yukina beamed but said nothing for the sake of his lover's comfort, Kisa was probably dying from embarrassment but even so he didn't take those words lightly at all. With a single last kiss to his lover's forehead he began to read.
So there you have some high class lovey dovey Yukina and Kisa. I hoped you enjoyed this unfortunately short chapter. I will find a way to write at the speed of light without too many errors. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please review, like, and follow my story and I. Keep smiling! -Lonescript
