Aikawa was now sitting across from Usagi and Seiji, who Usagi had managed to coax out of his room. She wanted to talk with Usagi about his newest release, it seems.
Usagi sat with a look of pure boredom on his face, he couldn't care less what Aikawa had to say, when he could be doing other, better things with his time.
"The new novel is doing absolutely fantastic! It's been almost sold out in three stores so far! Everyone loves it!" she said excitedly, showing him the amount of books that had been sold. Usagi's eyes widened slightly and he showed Seiji the slip of paper. Almost one thousand copies had been sold since it had been put in stores and the numbers had never been higher.
"Wow! That's great, Usagi-san!" Seiji cheered and Usagi smiled at him. Aikawa was watching the two of them with interest, an idea sparking in her mind.
"You two remind me of the two in the books! Just like lovers!" she cooed and Seiji's face lit up. Usagi chuckled at Seiji's embarrassment, reaching out and ruffling his hair. Seiji looked up at him, then looked away again, his face still bright red.
Aikawa smiled. "Anyway, I guess I'll go. I still need to set up some other stuff. Seiji, take good care of him, this fool will never stop once he sets his eyes on something!"
"Isn't that the truth..." Seiji mumbled and Usagi smirked, having heard him. Aikawa said goodbye and left out the door. Once they were alone again, Usagi eyed Seiji with interest and what he wanted registered in Seiji's mind. As Usagi began to move towards him, Seiji leaped up, beginning to run down the halls with one thing in his mind.
'Time to mess with Usagi-san!'
…...
Usagi smirked, watching Seiji run off again. So, this was a game of cat and mouse, was it? He casually walked towards the hallway, thinking of many things, Seiji being at the center of all of them.
'Very well, little mouse. You had better run..When I catch you this time...you won't get away.' Usagi thought, proceeding down the hallway.
…..
Seiji smiled as he ran through the condo, carefully avoiding Usagi. Why didn't he think of this before? This was actually really fun! Adrenaline coursed through him as he looked around the corner. Seeing Usagi, he quickly backed up, but it was too late. Usagi had already seen him looking around the corner and was trying to catch him off guard by running at him.
Seiji laughed as he dodged Usagi's grasp, he ran into a different section of the condo, into the teddy bear room, as Misaki had called it. He hid behind one of the couches after carefully closing the door. Panting slightly, he leaned up against the couch, wondering whether or not Usagi would come in here. He probably would, after all, there wasn't that many places to efficiently hide in this place.
As Seiji sat there, he began to slightly doze off, the adrenaline was slightly wearing off and it didn't help that he was still a bit tired from the previous nights. He heard the door open, and Usagi walking across the floor. Trying to stay formed into a little ball, he tried to be as silent as possible. Maybe Usagi would leave and he could hide in a different place, he just had to stay silent.
…...
Usagi entered the teddy bear room, knowing that he would find Seiji here. As he walked in, he looked at the various teddy bears, then at the couches in the room. He smirked, did Seiji really think he was that stupid? He silently walked closer to the couch, getting his hands ready in case Seiji tried to dart away from him again. He heard Seiji's breathing and quietly stood over the couch, ready to grab him.
…...
Seiji knew that Usagi was most likely either close by or right behind him..He was proven right when he quickly moved to the side, Usagi narrowly missing him once more. Usagi had a determined look on his face, and that made it all the more fun. Seiji ran behind the couch, Usagi facing him from the other side. Calculating his options, he knew that going one way was not an option, because Usagi could easily grab him then. He looked at Usagi, deciding to tempt fate a little more.
"What's wrong, Usagi-san? Getting old?" Seiji chuckled and Usagi smirked at the teasing comment.
"Why don't you come over here, Seiji? Then you'll be able to judge for yourself." he said, calm and collected. His eyes were brightened with amusement and mirth, he was actually having a lot of fun!
Seiji just grinned, tensing slightly, getting ready to run.
"Why don't you come over here and make me, Usagi-san?" he teased and Usagi's eyes darkened at the challenge.
…...
'He's just begging for it now.' Usagi thought wickedly, preparing himself as he saw his lover tensing, clearly getting ready to make a run for it. Well, it'd never work.
'I'll make it so he won't be able to move at all.' Usagi thought, a smirk once again on his face.
…...
Seiji mildly wondered what Usagi was thinking about as the smirk appeared on his face. Probably nothing good. Deciding to just go for it he leaped over the couch, gasping in surprise as Usagi reached out, grabbing him out of the air by his waist.
"N-No! Usagi-san!" Seiji complained and Usagi chuckled darkly.
"You shouldn't have gotten cocky. You deserve whatever punishment I give to you." Seiji blanched at this, trying to wriggle out of Usagi's tight hold.
"P-Punishment?!" he asked and Usagi leaned in, biting his neck a bit harder than usual. Seiji gasped and Usagi chuckled, continuing to talk.
"For running from me...and for teasing me like that." Seiji shook his head.
"I was just having fun!" Usagi smirked.
"So will I, Seiji. So will I." he said, before pushing him down onto the floor.
