"I can't believe I agreed to this..." Yuki stood outside the small diner with his pink haired companion. "I don't wanna have dinner with Akihiko!"
"Yuki~! You promised you'd try to get through this nicely!" Shuichi begged, pretending he was scolding the man.
"Key word being 'try'!" Yuki argued.
"Key words being 'promised' and 'nicely'!" Shuichi said sweetly and pleadingly. "Pwease, Yuki-kun? You're meeting my cousin tonight too. So just please try to be nice?"
"Ugh..." Yuki whined at the reminder. Shuichi was already a hand full. Now there was another one? Just to make it even better he had to deal with Baka-sempai. This was just perfect! "Fine. But this better not become a regular thing."
"Thank you, Yuki~! I love you so much!" Shuichi hugged the man. He let go in time to see his younger cousin get out of the red sports car. "Misa-kun! Over here!" Misaki seemed to have heard the boy and smiled waving, Usagi led Misaki up, holding his hand(much to the boy's quiet protests).
"Shu-nii! Sorry for being late. Something happened on the way, so we had to stop..." Yuki was surprised, the kid seemed normal... And familiar. He knew the boy from somewhere.
"Really? Is everything okay Misa-kun?" Shuichi overreacted as usual.
"Oh, don't worry Shuichi-kun. It was a good something. Very good." Yuki stared at the older, grinning man. He hadn't seen Usagi in years, but he hadn't changed at all. Except for the boy. If he remembered correctly he had also still had that stupid crush on that guy they had gone to school with...Takahiro? He looked down at the boy one more time.
"I thought you'd still be hung up one that nerd, Takahiro, was it, Akihiko?" Yuki asked. Usagi smiled.
"No, not anymore. Misaki here helped that." Yuki could tell the boy was affected by the conversation. But he wasn't nearly as bad as Shuichi was at hiding his emotions. Awkward, irritation, jealousy? Why? His mind clicked and he realized who the boy could be.
"Well, that's good. He wasn't very good for you. Straight as a board, and an idiot too." The anger in the boy increased and Yuki knew, the boy was Takahiro's brother.
"Nice to see you, Takahashi-kun." Misaki looked up surprised.
"You knew? Then why'd you say all those thing about my brother?"
"I'm a bastard, according to most people. Eiri Yuki." The author shook the boy's hand.
"Y-Yes, I know who you are. I'm actually a very big fan of your writing." Misaki said a light blush clouding his face and bowing slightly.
"You are? Why didn't you tell me, Misaki? I could have gotten you an autograph." Usagi asked partly confused.
"No, you couldn't." Yuki corrected the older man.
"Are you still mad at me?"
"Very!"
"Yuki! Remember your promise, sweetie." Shuichi hissed sweetly, squeezing the man's arm.
"Your lover calls you by your pen name's last name?" Akihiko asked, oblivious to the fact that he was implying anything at all, earning a quiet "Usagi-san!"
"Yes he does. What of it?" Yuki growled.
"I mean nothing by it. It's just, that name of all things..."Akihiko said cautiously, knowing how dangerous where he was tredding was from the last time they talked. The younger man lit a cigarette and placed it to his lips obviously trying to calm down.
"Akihiko, I'm guessing you're getting the same thing I am from this date-thing, well except a migraine and an urge to wring your little uke's neck," He added an edge to the last few words, glaring at Shuichi. "so why don't we try to get through this without one of us going to the hospital so we can actually get rewarded for enduring this crap."
"Wait 'uke'? Why does everyone assume I'm the uke?" Misaki whined.
"Because you are so cute, Misa-kun!"
"Because you are so cute, Misaki." The author and the vocalist replied at the same time.
"Of course..." Misaki delivered the comment with a sigh. It was obviously going to be a very long night. And now Misaki could feel the migraine Yuki had talked about creeping up on him.
So, yeah... NO ONE DIED! YAY~! Who expected Usagi-san to react more Misaki being a fan of Yuki.(a guy...a BI guy... I thought he'd explode...) Well, Sorry for chapter suckiness, lettuce hope for more drama next chapter!
