Akihiko had seen Yuki walk off to the bathroom, and saw how angry the younger man was getting. He decided it was best to wait a minute then say it:
" Sorry, excuse me, boys, I have to use the restroom." He stood to leave.
"Uh, Usagi-san, that might be a bad idea." Misaki said, nervous.
"Why is that?" Akihiko asked.
"Yuki-san hasn't come back yet…"
"And?"
"I just don't want you guys to get in a fight…"
"It'll be fine, Misaki, just stay here with Shuichi-kun." He walked away, just hearing what Shuichi said.
"I think it's going pretty well, don't you?"
Yuki headed to the sink as Akihiko walked in. Akihiko decided to pretend to wash his face.
"The Boys think it's going well. They seem close, I never even knew Misaki had a cousin." Akihiko said slowly.
"Hm? Yeah… but they are complete opposites." Yuki started rinsing his hands. "Misaki seems too normal to be related to Shuichi."
"Huh? Oh, he's not that normal, just kinda shy." Akihiko took a paper towel and wiped his face. "I mean, he deals with me on a daily basis, how normal could he be?" Akihiko tried luring the younger in by insulting himself. Yuki gave a small chuckle and lit a cigarette.
"You can definitely tell they're cousins." Yuki said giving a look toward the door. Akihiko chuckled.
"You think maybe it runs in the family?"
"No way," Yuki started. "I still don't know what you saw in that guy."
"I could say the same about your crush on Hiroki-kun."
"He's your friend. You don't think he's Boyfriend Material?"
"For someone-but not for you."
"I guess you're right. How is he?"
"He's dating someone, hasn't told me about it so I'm playing dumb 'til he does."
"Playing?"
"You're hilarious."
"And you aren't a perv at all."
" I never denied that I am." Akihiko gave a grin.
" So how's that brother of yours?"
"He's…. him. How are Mika and Tohma?"
"Themselves."
"I'll pray for you."
"I gave up on god a long time ago. It's obvious he's torturing me."
"I've been reading your books. They've gotten a lot better."
"Yeah, The brat is distracting though. I usually have to kick him out of the house a week from my deadline. And I keep getting writer's block."
"Writers' block? Eiri you've been writing this long and you don't know how to get rid of writers' block?" Akihiko said condisendingly.
"Oh, and you do?"
"I'll give you a hint: I haven't had writers' block since Misaki moved in." The older author grinned.
"That can't actually work...right?" Yuki pondered the idea.
"And it's the best." Akihiko winked. "So we should at least try to get through if not for ourselves, then for them and our fans." Yuki chuckled.
"You raise a good point old man, they're probably waiting right now."
"Well, lets get through this, then." The two walked out and returned to the table.
TO BE...
