"Are you sure you don't need a ride home?" Emerald eyes gazed up at him questioningly, and the blond chuckled softly at the other's insistence. All morning, Daichi had been asking him the same question, apparently disappointed with the consistent answer.

With a heavy hand, Katsuo ruffled the silverette's hair, smirking at the way his boyfriend pouted at the action, murmuring about how 'ruffling his hair was not a substitute for goodbye kisses'.

"You want a goodbye kiss?" The blond leered, stalking closer as his hands snuck around the other's waist. He leaned in, relishing in the feeling of soft lips upon his own, gentle hands curling in his blond hair.

That is, until the sweet kiss was rudely interrupted by Misaki as he pushed the two teenagers apart with an exclamation of "Leave room for the Holy Ghost!", ignoring the glares he received from both of them (and possibly Akihiko, but he wasn't sure because he had his back turned).

"Papa," Daichi growled, barely restraining his anger (and maybe some sexual frustration.. just maybe.) at his Papa as he turned to smile awkwardly at Katsuo, a light blush tinting his cheeks. "You should probably go. I'll text you later, okay?" The blond nodded, smiling back at the adorable silverette.

"Whatever you say, babe." And just to spite the brunet, Katsuo brought the silverette into another sweet kiss before leaving, smirking in glory as he watched Misaki grumble and glare.

"Dad?" Anna called through the office, looking curiously down every aisle of bookcases for her father. She frowned, puzzled. She was here to help him, not waste time trying to find that clutz. Anna sighed, pulling her cell phone from her pocket and speed-dialing her father, with no luck. She tried again, with the same result.

Anna decided it would be best to leave the papers she had brought on the desk, but as she did so, her eye caught something. A small velvet box, to be exact.

She picked it up with slight hesitation, feeling the soft fabric beneath the pads of her fingers. She pried it open to see what it contained, and her brown eyes bulged at the sight. Inside was a ring, but not just any ring. It was a ring emblazoned with diamonds.

Anna frowned as she realised that this was the ring he would give that wretched woman. Her 'step-mother' would wear this ring around her finger. She would mess everything up, why couldn't he see that?

Without a second thought, Anna stuffed the black velvet box into her bag and turned on her heels, racing for the exit to run back home.

How could her father do this to her?

"Oh thank God you are alright!" Nowaki exclaimed, crushing Yuki in a bear hug while Hiroki watched on in slight amusement, trying his best to hide his smile.

"Dad… D-Dad, I can't breath!"

"Oh, sorry!" Nowaki laughed, loosening his grip on the girl, but still holding her close to him as he stroked her hair softly.

Hiroki cleared his throat purposefully, watching two black-haired heads turn in his direction. "You," He pointed at Nowaki. "Take her home."

"Aren't you coming with us, Hiro-san?" The giant asked, and Hiroki almost winced at the hurt in his voice.

"I.. I have work I still need to finish." He said, sighing with exhaustion. "Just make sure dinner is ready when I get home."

"Yes Hiro-san!" And Nowaki and Yuki went on their way, leaving Hiroki to his work.
