The more I read this chapter (I have to do so for error-correction), the more stupid I think it is. But well, at least it is Yukina/Kisa, haha...

The Sixth Sense

"I have the Sixth Sense."

Yukina Kou looked at his lover who was standing next to him and checking the display of the shoujo manga he was in charge of. Of course Yukina had done a great job at putting them in a place where female customers were sure to notice them in an instant when they entered the shoujo manga section.

Kisa's announcement hadn't come out of the blue. They had watched 'The Sixth Sense' two days prior because Kisa still had problems with post-coital cuddling, so he would always turn on the television and they would watch just anything, as long as he didn't have to be so aware of his partner snuggling into his back.

"The Sixth Sense?"

"I see gay people."

Silence stretched between them and for a moment the brunett was wondering if he was making a joke, but Kisa Shouta was no man for jokes. Plus, his face was being way too serious.

"I mean, I can see who is gay and even if he is top or bottom."

Other people would have been disgusted by such a blunt statement, but not Yukina Kou, Books Marimo's top clerk for girls manga. He was just fascinated every time he learnt something new about his lover, and he was even more thrilled when he heard of a new talent of his.

"Kisa-san, you are really awesome!" He clasped his hands in front of his chest and leaned a little forward. "How does it work?"

Out of a mere reflex, Kisa backed away some centimetres and made a sour face. "Well, I just know it. Sometimes it is interesting, but most times it's a grudge. Some people give you the chills when you imagine it."

"Can you identify any gay people around here?"

He frowned. "Any guy over at the BL section, although you don't need to have a sixth sense to know that. And to be honest, I have to talk to them for at least twenty seconds. I am not freaking superman with x-ray eyes, you know."

"Still, twenty seconds is amazing! I'd be happy to hear about some examples!"

Yukina moved a little closer under the pretence of rearranging some manga, so they could drop their voices.

"Well, you know, the guys I am working together with at 'Emerald'...", Kisa began and sighed deeply.

"Oh, your co-workers are gay?"

"Well, not all of them, but..." He pointed to a manga in the second upper row. "The editor of this one, Onodera, obviously never had a girl. Women like him because he is cute, but you can see that he really hates it. I am sure he is a bottom."

"Kisa-san, you are really sharp!"

"As I already said, it is a grudge. Another guy of my department really confuses me, though. I am dead sure that he has this 'gay aura' around him, but considering his workload and office times, the only person outside of Marukawa he is meeting frequently is Yoshikawa Chiharu-sensei."

"She is a woman, isn't she?"

"I never met her face to face, but just look at her drawing style! I believe she is a woman in her late twenties totally smitten with a good-looking man who treats her like a princess. So, she is certainly not having anything with Hatori who is whipping her when a deadline comes up."

"What is with your chief-editor?"

"Takano?" Kisa scratched his neck and turned to look at him. "He goes for girls and guys, but only the ones that can compete with his looks. And he is totally a top."

Yukina opened his mouth to reply something, but suddenly pointed to another aisle and his lover followed the direction with his eyes."Oh, isn't this Yokozawa-san from Sales?"

Indeed, Yokozawa Takafumi was standing there, completely absorbed in a book about cooking.

"I really don't like to meet him outside of Marukawa. Hell, not even inside Marukawa. I always get the feeling that you can die by meeting his death glare. And he is really generous with that."

Wondering, Yukina tilted his head a little to the right. "Do you think so? Actually, he is a really nice person. We went drinking a couple of times."

"Be careful. This guy is totally gay. And he is on top."

A look at Kisa's darkening face made him realize that the editor was being jealous - maybe triggered by the comment about Yokozawa and Yukina being drinking buddies - and it made him incredibly happy.

"Shouta-san, please don't worry! I will always be only yours." He gave him a beautiful smile, that was so overwhelming that people within a radius of two metres around them started blushing.

"Hey, cut that out!", Kisa hissed and turned back to look at the salesman. But unmistakebly, his main aim was to dodge the sparkle of his lover's face. "This is your workplace after all..."

A moment later they heard a mobile phone ring. They knew it was Yokozawa's when the man started rummaging through the pockets of his coat until he found it and brought it to his ear.

Eavesdropping was not nice, but they were standing in hearing-distance and that was excuse enough.

"Yokozawa speaking. ... Oh, Hiyori-chan, is everything fine?"

His voice was extraordinarily soft, which gave Kisa the creeps. Something was not right.

"Could you just wait for thirty minutes longer? I will be heading straight home, so we can have dinner together. ... Yeah, I am looking forward to it, too. Please take care."

Kisa watched him cut the connection and mumbled in a shocked voice: " 'Hiyori-chan'?"

"That is a girl's name."

"I know that, but... My... My sixth sense must be broken... He has a girlfriend."

"Don't worry", Yukina tried to comfort him and patted his shoulder comfortingly. "You were still right about him being the top."

"Yes, that's standard in a hetero relationship, but... Shit, he is coming here! See you after work!"

Sensing a storm to come, Kisa tried to retreat and hide as quickly as possible, but after he had taken a few steps he heard his name being called by a harsh voice. Slowly, very slowly he turned around to look at the dark-haired man.

"Yo-Yokozawa-san, what a surprise! I didn't think I'd meet you here."

"You remember I am working at the sales section and that I am in charge of Books Marimo? Anyway, what are you doing here?", he asked and looked at him suspiciously.

"Kisa-san came because I invited him to take a look at the new display for 'Strawberry Maid'", Yukina answered, at which Yokozawa seemed to relax a bit.

"I see..."

That was the chance Kisa had been waiting for. He muttered a quick "Well, thank you much for the display. I have to leave now! Bye!" and fled with flying steps.

Both were watching his back as he put distance between them, fully aware of his nervousness.

"Ne, Yukina."

"Yes, Yokozawa-san?"

"Be careful. I think he might be after you."

"Is that so?", he replied in an amused tone and began to smile even wider. "I don't mind. His looks might be a little gloomy, but I am sure he has a very big heart."

"You really do read a lot of shoujo manga, don't you?"

"Of course I do. They are full of warmth, hope and liveliness." He looked at the book in Yokozawa's hand and nodded approvingly. "This manga is a really good choice. Is it for Hiyori-chan?"

Still unsure about his choice, Yokozawa sighed. "Yes, she did very well at the mid-term exams. Do you think she will like it?"

"She is eleven now, isn't she? Then it is absolutely perfect. The story is very sweet, I promise you that she will love it."

"I take your word for it. Well then, I am sorry for taking up your time", he said and bowed. "I'll pay this and head home."

Suddenly Yukina seemed to remember something and took the manga from his hands. "Please follow me to the counter, so you won't have to stand in line."

They both made their way to the checkout, where Yokozawa paid for the manga but declared that he didn't want to bother Yukina with present wrapping.

"I understand, but please let me give you this. It was a limited promotional article which we were giving away at a fare last month. We still have some left, so I would like to give one to Hiyori-chan", the clerk said and produced a bunny-plushie from behind the counter and put it into the paper bag together with the book.

"This is very nice of you. Thank you", Yokozawa replied and bowed again, but the other man only waved both hands in front of his chest.

"It is nothing, really. Oh, and also send my greetings to Kirishima-san. He really helped us out at the signing-session last week."

Blushing a little, Yokozawa received the paper bag. "He will be happy to hear about it. Good night."

After being sent off with another shiny smile, he left the building and made his way to the next station, bag in his left hand.

'Every time I meet Yukina, I learn something new about him that makes me really think that this guy most certainly has a cute and warm-hearted girlfriend waiting for him at home.'
