The sun was high in the sky as our beloved characters were drinking their coffees. Misaki had gotten to flower-shop at just gone twelve, like he had said, and Nowaki had greeted him with his usual bright smile and a hug. During the hug, Misaki couldn't help but compare Nowaki to Usagi; their hugs were very similar, but where Usagi's had a cold feel to his skin, Nowaki was radiating a gentle heat that seemed to warm him from the inside.
Nowaki then took Misaki across the street to the small café that Hiroki had once stalked him from, thinking back to that time made Nowaki laugh to himself which receive a nudge from Misaki followed by a curious gaze. He told Misaki, and they both laughed; Misaki enjoyed learning that his grumpy professor had a nicer side to him, at least he was beginning to understand why Nowaki was with him.
For the next part of the story, we will need to retrace our steps back to the previous night. To the moment Akihiko had read the message on Misaki's phone to be exact.
The feelings running through Usagi's mind when he read that Misaki had accepted such an offer, was a mixture of jealousy and pain; had it been Usagi asking Misaki, he knew for sure that the boy would have found some excuse to not go with him.
It had taken him a few minutes to place the name, but once he had, he went from silently aching to absolutely fuming. Not wanting Misaki to know that he had read his private messages, he went back up to his office but not before grabbing the house phone.
Once he secured the lock on his office door, something he only did when he wanted to keep something from Misaki, he went and sat at his desk, while typing Hiroki's number into the phone.
"What do you want? It better not to be an invitation to another awards evening because I can tell you now, the answer is no freaking way! And if it's about some manuscript you want me to read, we're meeting up the day after tomorrow so it can wait till then." Usagi groaned in frustration, did his childhood friend really hate conversing with him that much? He tried to keep his voice even, not wanting to show his long time friend that he was distressed.
"Hiroki, I believe we have something to discuss out of our usual topics. Mainly being, your boyfriend has asked my darling Misaki out on a date. It will begin at around noon tomorrow while your dumb giant supposed to be working at that stupid flower-shop. I swear, if he so much as looks at my Misaki the wrong way he won't be so tall any more." Hiroki couldn't believe what he was hearing, he knew that Nowaki had talked with Akihiko's brat but for Nowaki to actually ask him out without even mentioning it to him hurt him in a way he didn't think possible.
"Stop trying to sound like you'd hurt Nowaki, Bakahiko. We all know that if you touched him that I would kill you. But are you sure that Nowaki asked him out, I mean your brat seems to flirt with other guys, what with that Sumi brat and that Todou-kun, not to mention your brother. Who's to say that he wasn't coming on to Nowaki the other night." Usagi gripped the edge of his desk to regained composure before replying to Hiroki's absurd suggestions. It wasn't Misaki's fault that he was simply to adorable to be left alone while outside of the confines of their home. Their conversation lasted for another hour or so, with the conclusion that they would follow both of their lovers to see just what exactly is going on behind their backs.
And thus leads us to our current scene.
Misaki and Nowaki had ordered their drinks and were currently talking at one of the table near the entrance of the café, while Usagi and Hiroki were sat at the back hiding behind two magazines and wearing hats and glasses, in hopes that no one would recognise them and ruin their flawless plan.
While the two innocently chatted away, behind them a dark aura began to grow.
Once again Hiroki and Usagi were in a heated discussion about whose lover was the one who initiated the 'date', which then lead to them arguing about whose lover was the most adorable.
Hiroki wouldn't usually call his over-grown puppy adorable, but when it came to winning an argument against Usagi any thing goes.
After the adorableness came the argument about whose was a better cook, then whose was better at cleaning, and then the inevitable. Whose lover was better at sex.
It was during that final argument that Nowaki and Misaki noticed them, and while they were distracted their lovers had escaped and gone elsewhere. Once Hiroki realised however, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer.
He stood up, knocking his chair to the ground and began to drag Usagi out of the café in hopes that their lovers were still in sight. They both agreed that it was pointless running around the city looking for them, so Usagi simply said, "I have that manuscript in my car. We should just go back to yours and you can read through it while we wait for them."
Not knowing what else to do, Hiroki agreed but not without sending a glare to everyone, including Usagi, that made it into his sight on the way to Usagi's red sports car.
Here it is, the precious second instalment I promised would come soon. :)
Like always, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Reviews and criticism are welcomed.
And now I have to pose a question to my lovely readers, (I already have a place in my mind) if any of you can guess correctly where Nowaki and Misaki had escaped to, I will write you a one-shot where you get to choose the characters and plot. And I may even throw a lemon in there for you.^_^
