Chapter 6

After Yoji's confession that night, Aya can't believe what he heard. Of all the few people he knows, he least expects Yoji to be attracted to him especially to be in love with him. He doesn't know how to react. He's been needing comfort from someone he knows cares truly for him. But now that he knows how Yoji truly cares and much more.. .loves him, he feels like he doesn't deserve such deep feelings. He hasn't felt loved for so long. He just work during the day as a florist, during the night as an assassin, then, goes to bed trying to block his emotions and fears of his nightmares. No one had been with him to comfort him and assure him that everything will be alright because he will be staying. No. He learned not to feel in order to keep his sanity even though he's slowly killed deep inside.

He just laid down on his bed sideways, looking at the full moon shining down on him until exhaustion emotionally and physically finally made him sleep, deep inside. . . wishing somebody will look over him until he falls asleep.

The next day, Aya woke up early. The first thing that came to his mind as he opened his eyes was Yoji.

" Yoji" Aya whispered to himself. He game himself a small smile, remembering Yoji's sweet confession last night.

I am not even sure if I love him exactly as he loves me. And . . I don't know if I deserve such love from him.. . . from someone like him.

He fixed himself and readied himself to leave. He's got to work for his mission today. He just hopes the days will end faster for this week so that he won't have to stand the other's presence. He silently left the house knowing they would be awake in a few minutes.

Yoji awoke as soon as he heard Aya's door open. And now he's sure Aya already left. He's pretty sure Aya is still thinking about what he said last night. For now, he's going to give him some time. . even for just a few days to fully understand how serious he is to Aya. He is just hoping that Aya won't think of him as someone who is just feeling temporary emotions.

He knows how long he has been feeling like this for Aya but it is only recently that he has come to realize it's true meaning.

The three boys worked in the flower shop like any ordinary day. Ken and Omi had no clue as to what is happening between Yoji and Aya and they certainly did not know that Yoji is in love with Aya.

Meanwhile, Aya, in the name of Shin, worked the whole day with Ryo. He knows he is so pathetic with his hard tries of smiling like everything's more than fine. He was able to report everything Kritiker wanted him to know about their illegal businesses. He did this every night before showing up to the others. He slept early. That's what he says to the others and that he's tired so he'll go ahead but they didn't know that he's been spending his nights just looking at the moon thinking nothing but just waits until sleep claims him.

Everything was normal, he thinks. Yoji who just confessed what he feels for him is now acting like there is nothing more between them. This went on for days.

Aya thought.. . maybe it was just an outburst from Yoji. But at least I know he truly cares for me. He sighed at that thought. He was surprised to hear Ryo's voice talking to him. Oh shit. .I forgot I'm with Ryo.

After the meeting, when everyone has left the room and he was left with Ryo, Ryo walked to him and slid his hand from Aya's hip to his waist and kissed him full on the lips. Aya was surprised but he let him continue as if he could fight in this situation. One of Ryo's hands was at his back pulling him closer while the other was caressing his sides.

" Shall we meet tomorrow night? Same place." Ryo said confidently

" I don't think you'll be able to come." Aya said with a snicker.

"Why? I'm not busy. I'll give my time tomorrow only to you. . . I promise."

" Sure then. We'll see if we could do it again tomorrow." With that Aya escaped from the other's strong hands and left the room.

If what Kritiker said that he has already finished his mission if he will know that last important detail, then the mission is already completed. Through the secret conversation between the members of the illegal businessmen that was done later that day, at last,. . . . .I'm done with this.

He reported everything to Kritiker that night and as he finished his last report for the mission, he gave a deep sigh. He was really tired the whole day. He is so tired that he doesn't think he can reach his room anymore. He's currently at their secret basement. He moved to the couch to sit for a while and rest his eyes but soon he fell asleep.
