Akihito wiped the sweats off his forehead, he repeatedly telling himself that he will do it until the end, he will never give this up.
"Alright, we'll stop until here. Good work today!" the instructor announced.
Akihito exhaled loudly and plopped down exhaustedly on the mat. Cold thing touches his heated face, he looked up to see his close friend, Ai beaming down on him. "Good work Akihito-kun!"
Akihito rolled his eyes but grabbed the water bottle handed to him. He sat up and faced his friend, "Tell me again why I agree to join you on this?" He waved his hand gesturing the place they are currently in. Some of the participants already packing up, some still talking to the instructor.
Ai pretended to make a thinking face, "Hmmm because you promised me a favour after I give you that special inclusive on the new drama, right?"
"I never knew the favour will be accompany you along to a Yoga session!"
"Oh but it's relaxing right? Akihito-kun, I didn't know you have such a flexible body." Ai commented. "You look like you do lots of exercise yourself so I don't get why you complaining so much?"
Akihito flustered making his cheeks redden more than before. "Well…. You can say that..." Trying not to think the unmentionable indescribable exercise he did every night. He choked when he tries to cover his embarrassment with drinking the water.
Ai patted his back helpfully. "Slow down, Akihito-kun. By the way, I have not seen Ryuji-kun for a while how is he?"
"He's growing up for sure, cannot keep up with him sometimes, you should try get married too, I bet many of your fans want to marry you."
"Ha! I wish, most of them are old creeps anyway but don't worry about me yet. Bring Ryuji along next time, he may like the new figurine from the action movie I starred in."
Meanwhile,
"Daddy! I thought you are going to teach me how to shoot today?" Ryuji dashed into Asami's home office, waving his toy pistol around.
"Yes, yes, " Asami responded distractedly, his eyes still glued on the screen of his tablet. Kirishima has managed to hack on the video feed of the security camera from Akihito's Yoga class today. What a refreshing experience watching his cute husband doing all those enticing moves.
"Daddy! Stop spying on Papa! Come and teach me!" Ryuji poked him out of annoyance at being ignored.
Asami sighed, and set the video feed to be recorded and maybe tonight he can ask Akihito to demonstrate for him in their bed. He so looking forward for Akihito to come home.
"Daddy… your expression is creepy"

Kirishima could feel his veins might popped anytime now as he waits for Takato in the latter's home. He perked up when he heard the door unlocked, and Takato walked in swaying on his feet, his clothes are a mess.
"Oh Kei, I didn't know you come tonight, you should text me." Takato beamed as he made his way to the older man sitting in his small apartment living room. "Did you come from work?" he asked as he saw Kirishima still in his suits.
Takato giggled as he plopped down on Kirishima's lap and the man did not even move or flinched a bit.
"Will it make a difference if I text or not?" Kirishima finally spoke up. "You reek of booze by the way."
Takato sensed something wrong with Kirishima's tone. He straightened up as much as he can while still staying in the man's lap. "I did drink a bit much today, but it's not much. The customer did drink a lot though."
At the mention of customer, he can see a twitch in the other man's eyebrow. Takato sighed, "Don't tell me you spied one me again, Kei?"
Finally, a reaction he expected from the man, as Kirishima's eyes blinked many times behind the glasses while he tries to remain composed as usual. "I may or may not have."
Kirishima adjusted his glasses clearing his throat, it was not entirely his fault anyway. When his boss asked him to hack the video feed from the Yoga class, he also wondering if he can hack into the video feed of Takato's workplace since he been worrying of the younger man who been changing jobs from time to time.
Last time he hacked and spied because Takato complaining of the boss of his previous workplace been harassing him non stop when the other employees are not looking.
"Kei…" Takato whined, "You know it was just my line of work, right? I will not be a very good host if I act cold to my client just because my lover is hella possessive?"
"Quit your job tomorrow, I'll find a better place for you." Kirishima said.
"But….!" Takato could not argue further as Kirishima held his face close.
"I will say and repeat this every time that only I can touch you how I want… I don't want others than me to lay a finger on you at all."
Takato huffed, "Fine, you possessive monster. You make me more turn on than always with those words."
"Shall we work on that?"

It was school holiday hence Kou has free time to venture around the city. He contemplated to text Suoh but decide against it as he is afraid to disturb him in case the older man is at work. Takato and Akihito also not available as both of them also at work.
After an hour of browsing through the stores, Kou found a nice little café at the corner and decided to replenish himself with some treats.
He ordered himself a mocha latte and a strawberry cheesecake. He sat down by the seat near the window. Enjoying his treats, he looking through his list-to-buy on his phone, he needs to find some stuffs before going home.
Giggles bursts through his bubbles of thought and he look over at the couples sitting not far from him. The girl wiped some of the foam of the guy's mouth, and the guy kiss her thumb teasingly.
Kou diverted his attention feeling uncomfortable to witness intimate acts but then he realized most of the patrons in the café are couples doing their own lovey dovey acts on date.
Kou sighed and stared back at his own drink, determined to finish it quickly and get out of the café as soon as possible.
He stopped by a clothing store after buying some stuff on his list. Looking at the clothes on display and comparing with his own clothes, Kou thought he better need new clothes and maybe show off to Suoh in their next date.
He saw a two-tone pocket patched shirt in his favourite colour sky blue, when he tried it on and look over himself in the mirror, he quite like it but the price he did not quite like it. He put it back sadly and walked out of the store.
"I may as well go home then." Kou walked towards the nearest bus station and sat there waiting for the next bus.
"Kou-san.."
Kou startled at his name and look to his left. Suoh smiled at him as he took a seat next to him.
"Kazumi-san…I..how do you know I'm here?"
"I know you did not have to go to work today, so why didn't you text me?"
Kou blushed, "I don't want to disturb your work…."
Suoh grabbed something from his side and handed it over to Kou. "For you…"
Kou looked at the shopping bag and recognize the shop from where he left just now. He carefully looked inside it and surprised to see the shirt he wanted to buy is in the bag.
"How...?"
It was Suoh's turn to blush, "I thought maybe it suits you…."
Kou broke into a smile, "Really?" he said teasingly.
Suoh cleared his throat and stood anxiously. "Should we go somewhere together?"
Kou chuckled and grabbed Suoh's hand. "Sure. Let's go!"

Kousuke are tasked to return the books by his Kou-sensei to the library as it is his duty this week. The books are not that heavy so he can carry it alone and he want to show his sensei that he is a responsible boy already.
"Ah thank you for your hard work, Kousuke-kun" the librarian of their school greeted him as he enters the library since most of the children are outside playing, the library is mostly empty. "I will help you soon, but could you help me put away the books according to their numbers?"
Kousuke nodded enthusiastically, "No problem, Jin-san. I can do it myself!"
"Good boy, the shelves should be over there. I will help you as soon as I finish these, ok?"
"OK!"
Kousuke bounded over to the shelves pointed by Jin-san earlier, slowly making his way down the rows, trying to read the numbers on the shelves and the numbers on the books.
He managed to find one and put the book in its place. "One down, nine to go!" Kousuke read the next number before he looked over at the end of the row and smiled. "Ryu-chan, come out I know you are there! I'm not scared."
Slowly, Ryuji appeared from behind the shelves at the end of the row, rubbing his neck unconsciously. "I'm not trying to scare you."
"Then why are you hiding?"
"I….I wondering why you didn't come out and play. That's all! How do you know I'm there anyway?"
Kousuke giggled, "I always know if Ryu-chan is looking at me."
"W..what?" Ryuji flustered crossing his arms in defense. "I didn't always look at you …. you are weird."
"I'm not weird, Ryu-chan is mean!" Kousuke pouted angrily.
Ryuji shook his head frantically. "No, no I'm sorry you're not weird! Here, let me help you put away the books."
"Really?" Kousuke passed some of the books to Ryuji.
"Thanks Ryu-chan!" He pressed a kiss on Ryuji's cheeks before continue putting away the books humming happily.
Ryuji blinked in astonishment, "Seriously he's weird!" he muttered under his breath. 'but Kou-chan still cute...'
