Chapter 2

Yoji is curious as to what kind of work Aya will be doing since he is the only one assigned to it. Since they have no customers at all, he decided to ask Aya about it... and spend some time talking with him. He doesn't know why or when it started but deep inside he knows he actually wants to be closer to Aya. He just can't help it whenever he comes to look at Aya's purple eyes. . wanting them to look at him too.

"Hey, Aya. What kind of work does Manx want you to do in your mission?" Yoji asked leaning over the counter Aya is working on.

"I will have to undercover as a businessman and report everything I will learn in my interactions."

"What? seems pretty simple huh?"

"Uh... Yeah." Aya paused for a while as if remembered something about the mission and gave out a sigh.

Aya looked into Yoji's eyes, trying to see what's behind. It's not like Yoji to be curious as to what's up with him. He actually thinks Yoji's only purpose whenever he talks to him is to annoy him or make him feel awkward most of the time but this time it's as if there's a different reason behind his actions. He seems not his usual self. He's not so . . .Yoji-like.

"Ooh..Ok." Yoji turns his back on him and still leaned on the counter with his elbows just to avoid Aya's searching look.

Yoji can't think of anything more to say. The only thing he knows, he wants to talk to Aya longer especially before he starts his mission. This mission of being undercover means that Aya won't be working with them in the flower shop for quite a while. So does this really mean he wants to spend some more time with Aya because...no. He doesn't want to think that he's actually going to miss him. No it can't be. Maybe he's going to miss Aya because.. .

Yeah right. He doesn't have anyone to annoy and it's really fun seeing Aya feel uncomfortable with a bunch of fangirls.

After dinner, Omi went to his room to do his schoolwork. At last he is going to have enough time to do his work while Ken went to bed early. At least he could solo the tv without being bothered to shift from channel to channel because of soccer. But Yoji knows he's not going to watch anyway nor is will he go clubbing or drinking. Urgh..Aya went to bed early too..So I guess I'll just have my beauty sleep then. . .ah. Just when I thought I could spend my evening with him at least..Uh.. Why am I being like this. It's not like me to be so... . .interested with what's going on with him.

Yoji just went up to his room and resigned himself to sleep even though he might not get a good night sleep. He knows Aya is already asleep because his light is off already.

In his room, Aya sat quietly on his bed with his back leaning against the headboard, thinking about his mission which will start tomorrow.

Why the hell was I given a mission like this? and only me.. I can't believe I'm doing this job. I don't even know if I'll be able to do it even though it's simple. More than work surely will be required in this one. I can't let this mission down. This is just a mission anyway and just for 2 weeks. Guess I can't do anything now that I accepted it. I've got to be ready for tomorrow.

"Good morning Yoji." Omi greeted with a warm smile while eating his breakfast before going to school.

" Good morning Chibi." Yoji said as he took a seat and smiled sleepily at Omi.

" How's your sleep? You seem early today."

"Uh..hehe. Fine. Um.. Where's Aya?"

"When I woke up, he had already left." Yoji thought he could at least talk or even just see Aya before he leaves.

" Ah. . ok." Yoji said with a slight feeling of disappointment.

"I'll be leaving now. . .Oops I'm gonna be late. See you later! And don't forget to wake Ken up for his morning shift."

"Don't worry I'm not going to let him oversleep on me." Yoji said with a snicker.

I wonder how Aya is in his mission right now..ugh.. and now I'm going to work with Ken alone the whole morning.

Aya is now dressed in formal and stood in front of a tall building. His mission is to actually work with the target named Ryo Makoto. He will have to make interactions with him to eventually learn about their illegal businesses. The target, Ryo is a very successful businessman at a young age with many connections in other countries which makes anything easier for him to do or get which is why Aya will have to be extra careful in keeping his cover. He will be under the name of Shin Saito.

As he entered the building a man bowed at him and greeted him with a warm smile.

" Good morning Mr. Saito. Mr. Makoto is waiting for you." Aya acknowledged him and followed him.

He was led to a big office. Once he entered, his attention was immediately caught by a tall man with his back on him looking outside through the big glass windows. Aya felt a lump in his throat as the man, Ryo, slowly turned to face him. He didn't expect him to have an aura like this. It's like his confidence is flowing right from him. Seems like this mission will be far different from the others I did.

" Good morning Mr. Saito." Ryo said with his warm smile as he offered a handshake to Aya. He looked at Aya in a way that he felt a bit uneasy.

" Good morning Mr. Makoto."

The guy who led him slowly slid out of the room. Aya could feel a bit of nervousness slowly creeping inside him as he was left alone with Ryo. He didn't expect the man to be good looking at all.. with that well built body, intelligence and confidence, he is certainly someone with a lot of capabilities. All he could do is maintain his cover and make Ryo believe his purpose.

" I believe we will now be working together. I hope we'll be able to help each other a lot."

" Of course. With all our common interests we could help each other very much. So, when can we have a formal meeting so that we can discuss the details?" Aya said as he gave too a warm smile.

" Right now I'm still busy with a few things I have to arrange. And I also think we should get along first to know each other well. Don't you think?" Ryo said as he walks nearer to Aya. He stopped just a foot away from him which is actually too close for a formal talk.

" Yes, I think so. That would be great. When is that?"

" When do you please?"

" I believe you're actually a lot busier than me but certainly it would be great if we could do this soon.. How about tomorrow? Where do you want to meet?"

" Oh. Ok. Is it fine with you to meet me at Oblivion? You know that club, don't you? At 9." Ryo looked pleased as he sees that Shin, Aya, is also interested in starting to work together.

"Yeah. Ok. I'll see you then." Aya turned to leave but he could still feel the man's look on him.
