Shinobu Naoyuki’s POV
“You shouldn’t be here. Please come back, there are still many people believing that you will come back.”
“But what about you? Aren’t you sad being here all alone?”
“I am okay, as long I can see you being happy together with him, I will not ever feel lonely up above here.”
“Makino, I still- “
“You don’t have to suffer anymore, I am taking back your ability to see probabilities so you won’t suffer any misfortunes ever again.”
“Then what about you?”
“Don’t worry about me. Go back, Kazuya is calling for you.”
“Yuki! Yuki! Where are you? Please come back!” I can hear Kazuya’s voice calling me from far away.
“See? You should go back now. I am very happy to meet you again and let you stay here but not this time. You should live and be happy. Goodbye.” He suddenly pushed me to a cliff and it felt like I have fallen down for a very long time.
When I opened my eyes, there are still tears coming out of my eyes and so I raise up my trembling hands to wipe it all away as I remember dreaming about Makinohana while I was in coma.
I have been in asleep for almost one and a half year after the car I was riding got smashed by a truck. When I finally regained my consciousness, I didn’t know that a long time have already passed.
Instead of asking what happened to me or even asked where am I, the first words that came out of my mouth was, “What happened to Kazuya?”
The nurse who was taking care of me that time panicked as she saw me trying to stand up and walk as soon as I opened my eyes to search for Kazuya. As she desperately tried to make me calm down, she called my parents who are on the other side of the hospital to take care of my brother.
“Nao! Thank goodness! There is really a miracle!” My mom embraced me as she cries upon seeing me finally awake while my dad falls down to his knees due to extreme feelings of happiness and relief.
“Mom, dad, where is Kazuya?” I asked them again with my quavering voice.
My mom suddenly stops embracing me and stand up straight before answering me and it only makes me anxious as she took a second before talking again.
“Hisashi told us about what happened to him before we move here. Nao, please don’t be surprised about this but-“
“What happened?!”
“Kazuya lost his memory about everything related to you.”
“What do you mean? But he is alive right? He didn’t get severely injured right?” Mixed emotions took over me as my tears pour down because of the extreme relief of knowing that he didn’t die and the sadness of knowing that he already forgotten about me.
“He was saved by Hisashi from being hit by some falling steel beams during the earthquake but unfortunately, his head hit into a concrete post that cause a head trauma making him have a memory lapse.”
“I see, but he is doing fine now right? I can still make him remember me for sure so can I see him now?”
“Nao, you should take a rest first, it’s been so long and besides, I don’t think that it will be a good idea to suddenly pop out in front of that kid now.”
“But why? I know that forgetting me is just a temporary effect of his head trauma so I’m sure that he can remember me.”
“Do you even know how long have you been in coma? Nao, it’s been one and a half year. Many things changed and we don’t even know if Kazuya already have his own life.”
“No, I’m sure that Kazuya is waiting for me. Even if his memories failed to remember me, I am sure that his heart will know once we meet again so let me see him now.” I stand up but my legs give out as soon as I make a single step.
“Ahhh, what are you doing? Do you even realize that you still to undergo a rehabilitation to be able to move your muscles after sleeping for so long? And besides where do you think you are going?”
“To look for Kazuya of course.”
*sigh* “Nao\, we are in Canada right now so no matter how much you search for him around here\, you won’t find Kazuya.”
“Canada?! How did we even end up here?”
“Let me tell you everything that happened while you were sleeping, but before that, please sit back to your bed. “
I obediently go back to my bed and waited for her to start.
“On that day when the magnitude 8.2 earthquake hit the city, your father and I were still at the lobby of the hospital after you left. The shock was too great and it even made half of the hospital collapse, causing a tragedy to some of the patients and doctors who were trapped in the east side of the hospital. Fortunately, Koharu was still in the ICU that time which was in the west side instead of being moved in the operation room for his heart transplant in the east wing if he actually got the donor that time.”
“It was really a blessing in disguise for Koharu to lose that heart donor or he might be one those who died from the building going down.” My father added.
“When all the aftershocks finally subside in the evening, the hospital made a makeshift tent for the patients to stay and so we finally got some time to calm down but we finally realize that you were missing the whole time. We tried contacting you and even calling Kazuya’s phone but both of you were out of reach. We immediately reported you as a missing person and after waiting for some news about your whereabouts the whole night, and the next morning, we finally found you in the central district.”
“Do you know how much shocked you have caused us when we saw you covered in blood inside that tent hospital? I really thought that you were already dead!” I can almost see the image of my dad’s faces during that time and I can’t help but feel bad for him.
“I cried the whole time as I watch the doctors tried to revive you with their limited equipment and supplies from the hospital. And do you know how much I breakdown when a nurse handed me a piece of card they found in your pocket? My hopes went down as I saw your freshly written remarks on that donor’s card asking for your heart to be transferred to you brother! I wanted to throw that paper immediately but the doctor stopped me from doing so while talking about how low is your chance of waking up again.”
“It was fortunate that Shinjiro was there to help us and ensure that you can hold it out. He was also the one who suggested to us to go overseas to search for the most advance medical facility that will help you and Koharu to survive.”
“Also, we asked Hisashi to take care of all your properties including your pet and Kazuya.”
“Ah! I almost forgot about Naoya! Is he alright? Is Hisashi taking care of him now?”
“The last time we check, he told us that the cat is doing great with him.”
“Then how about Kazuya? Does Hisashi still have contact with him?”
“We are not very sure about that. We already avoided asking about him because it only makes Hisashi make a pained expression when he is mentioned.”
“Can I call Hisashi right now? I want to talk to him.”
“Nao, it is 2 AM in Hisashi’s place right now so can you at least wait a little?”
“Oh, I see. I almost forgot about the different time zones. By the way, when are we going back to Japan?”
“After you completed your rehabilitation.”
“Then how about Koharu? Is he doing fine now?”
“He already got a heart transplant last year and he is still under monitoring so maybe we still have to stay here until April next year.”
“Okay, I will do my best to recover as fast as I can!”
“Yeah, that’s how you should do it and when you come back, punch that kid Kazuya in the face so he will remember you.”
“Hahahaha, dad that is too cruel, I don’t want to make him cry.”
“Well he deserves that for forgetting you like that. Want me to hit him instead?”
“Oh, dear please stop talking nonsense. Come on, let us now give Nao time to rest.” Mom pulled dad away before he can even start making another wave of jokes.
“Okay, okay. Nao, I still haven’t told you this but let me say it now. Thank you. Thank you so much for fighting hard to survive. Thank you for opening your eyes again. I don’t even want to imagine if I ever lose any one of my sons so I am very happy that the two of you survive.” My dad left a very touching message before walking out of the room.
I lay back down to my bed and stares up to the white ceiling while thinking about Kazuya. I really feel happy to know that the three of us miraculously survive from the deadly probabilities. I really wanted to run into Kazuya’s arms and give him a warm big hug because I know that he may be suffering alone even without the memories of me. What if he goes back to being a lonely guy who doesn’t even have anyone to rely on just like before I met him? I really have to do my best and recover soon.
Time sure flies in a blink of an eye. Because of my strong motivation, my recovery speed surpassed any normal patient. In just a short period of time, I can finally walk straight and I can even run faster than I was before. Koharu’s monitoring is also almost done and as the spring season was on it’s peak, our family finally fly back to our home country.
As soon as we landed in the airport, Hisashi welcomes us back. My dad and mom went straight home with Koharu while I decided to stay in the city for a while.
To be honest, Hisashi already told me about how Kazuya regained his memories on his own two years ago while I was still in coma but he decided to just let it slip by and not mention it to my parents. On the other side, I decided to keep my recovery as a secret to Kazuya for the last few months since I recovered when I heard about the news that he got his first major project in the new company where he is working because I don’t want him to lose focus and take the risk of him giving up on the project and choosing to fly straight to me in Canada.
It was really a painful yet exciting months in my life as I was in the recovery phase and now that I am finally back fully recovered, all I want to do is see him for so long.
“Hisashi, do you think Kazuya will cry when he suddenly sees me today out of nowhere?” I asked him while he is driving us back to his place.
“Yeah, maybe he will cry while thinking that he is seeing the ghost of you walking in the middle of the road. Why do you even choose to wear a pure white long sleeve shirt today? There is no doubt that people may have mistaken you as a ghost wandering around.”
“Hahahaha, I really have no choice on what to wear because mom already packed our things and only this one was out of the bag.”
“I see. Well never mind. I will just send a message to Kazuya to meet you in the park when his work is done.”
“I see. Then let’s just have some lunch together, I will treat you to a restaurant of your choice.”
“No need for that. Let’s just go back to my place. I will just cook something for us.”
“Really? When did you learn how to cook?”
“Some time ago. I just did as a new hobby.”
“Are you sure? Or is there someone that you are making a meal for? Are you dating someone right now?”
“Ahh, well, the thing is…”
“Come on, tell me.”
“I am dating Miyoshi, the kid you saw with me at the amusement park a long time ago.”
“Oh my god! I am so happy for you. Ahahahahaha. I never thought that you will really end up falling in love with a younger guy despite of you constantly talking about how young people are too annoying.”
“Miyoshi is different. He is so much better that any other brats around, and he is way better that Kazuya.”
“No, he is not. Kazuya is the best.”
“But Miyoshi will not ever forget me.”
“That was just an accident! Kazuya hit his head and he was suffering a trauma that time.”
“But Miyoshi will not ever have a brawl with his lover’s best friend.”
“Of course, how can Miyoshi and I even have a fight? What happened between Kazuya and you was just…’
“Just what?”
“Let’s forget about that part. By the way, you still haven’t told me who won on that fight. Did he win?”
“It was me of course. And I only stopped beating him up when he started crying like a kid being bullied.”
“That sounds intense.”
“Yeah, it sure was. He ends up having a broken nose and a sprained left wrist.”
“How could you do that? That’s too cruel!”
“But it was really effective to make him listen and calm down.”
“Hahahaha, if you really say so.”
We ate our lunch together after he cooked his so-called specialty dish though I really doubt about it because Kazuya’s home-cooked meals are way too better. We spend the whole afternoon catching up on our lives for the past three years even though I just wake up six months ago.
Hisashi was a little hesitant and shy to talk about his love life but after a few times of him accidentally mentioning Miyoshi, he started talking about their struggles of keeping up with their different schedules. Hisashi also told me about Miyoshi’s endless whims of asking him to let him move in his place to let them live together but he really didn’t know what to do about it.
After talking for so long, the time for me to go out and meet Kazuya finally arrived. I immediately left Hisashi’s place almost barefoot due to my excitement. When I passed by the spot where my clinic used to be, I saw that it is still an empty lot even though it was already sold for a long time. I continued walking and spotted the convenience store at the corner was still open and nothing has change which makes me feel a little better. I am just about to walk pass by it when an April shower occurs and for the first time in my life, I was taken by surprise by the rain because I no longer have the ability to see probabilities.
I decided to walk inside the convenience store to buy a disposable umbrella to let me continue my journey in going to the park to meet Kazuya. The wind sure was cold when I step outside the store, and when I opened my newly bought umbrella, a strong wind carrying some petals flies in front of me and so I instinctively use my umbrella to deflect it. After that, I hold up my umbrella above my head and prepares to walk out when I suddenly hear a familiar voice.
“Yuki.” My hear started beating wildly as I slowly turn my head to look at the direction where the voice came through.
And as our gazes finally meet, the only word I can say back to him was his name. “Kazuya.”
After staring at each other’s faces for that moment, he jumped into me with a big hug making me stumble a little and drop my umbrella.
“I miss you.” He whispered into my ears.
“I miss you too Kazuya. Sorry for making you wait for so long.”
*sniff**sniff*
He started crying in my arms for a while and I just let him be until he calmed down.
“How can you even keep it as a secret that you already recovered? Do you know how much I worry about you every day? “
“I’m sorry. I just don’t want to distract you from your work and besides, I am really sure that you will not think twice to fly to Canada as soon as you hear about me waking up.”
“Well that’s true. I won’t hesitate to go there as fast as I can but still, you keep it as a secret again.”
“I’m really sorry about that. I promise that I will never ever keep a secret from you ever again until the end so please forgive me.”
“Of course, I will forgive you. How can I even stay mad at you?”
“Yes, I know.”
“But I am mad at Hisashi for being an accomplice of yours. He promised me that he will inform me as soon you wake up but look what he has done again.”
“Hahahaha, please don’t be mad at him. I don’t want to see you have a fight with again and end up having a lot of injuries after losing to him.”
“Hey, who told you that I lost? He also got a lot of injuries that time. Haven’t you seen the little scar in the middle of his right eyebrow? That was caused by my powerful punch at him during that fight.”
“Okay, I will just assume that your fight ended up with a draw.” I wipe off all the remaining tears and snots from his nose. “By the way, why are you even here during office hours? It is still 5 minutes early for you to be walking around here.”
“Ackkk! I almost forget about Takane-san! We are still in the middle of our job right now; I should call him immediately.” He panics as he looks for his phone. “Ahhh! I didn’t even have my phone.”
“Here, I will lend you mine so call whoever you need to call right now.” I give him my phone and he eagerly get it and started dialing a phone number from a business card of his co-worker he is keeping in his wallet.
“Hello, Takane-san, it’s me Suzuki. I’m sorry for disappearing at the park without any notice.” “Yeah, I’m really sorry.” “Thank you so much for covering for me. Yes, I will. Thanks. See you next week.”
He happily gave back my phone looking happy after talking to his co-worker.
“So, you are saying that you didn’t have your phone with you the whole time?”
“Yes, I am always putting it inside my drawer at work so that I can work without any distraction. And today, I actually left it in there.”
“Don’t tell me that you didn’t actually saw Hisashi’s message earlier?”
“I didn’t.”
*sigh* “So\, you really didn’t know that I will be waiting for you in that park today? And meeting you here was just a coincidence?”
“I—think yes. But at least we meet by chance.”
“Pftttt. Hahahaha.” We both laugh together as we realize how such coincidence have gotten us together now.
“So, are you free tonight and the whole weekends?” I asked him.
“Yes, I am and will always be.”
“Then let’s go to a better place to spend our night.” I winked at him and he immediately blushed after realizing what am I implying.
“Let me buy some condoms while we are here.” He runs inside the store even though his face is glowing bright red.”
When the rain finally stopped pouring out, Kazuya and I went straight to the hotel.
“Yuki are we really doing it tonight?” Kazuya looks a little restless when we came in to the luxurious hotel room that I got for us.
“Why? Getting nervous are we, cherry- boy?” I teased him as I take of my shoes.
“Nervous? Me? Why, why would I? Ah… it is just… this is my first time staying inside a hotel like this.”
“I see. So, you are more conscious about this place than me and what we are about to do huh?”
“No! No… no you got it wrong. I am actually nervous! Ahh! What the heck am I even saying?”
“Ahahaha, you are really cute when you are flustered. Look you are getting red as a tomato.” I pulled him towards the mirror at the corner of the room to show him his bright red reflection.
“It is because you keep teasing me since we left from the convenience store.”
“Is that so, then are you not on the mood to it today?”
“Of course not, I am always ready! And I have been preparing myself for the past three years.”
“Pftttt, you really are a strange cherry boy.”
“But look whose cherry is about to get pop out tonight.” From getting flustered earlier, he immediately turned into a wild beast.
He takes off his red necktie and throw it on the floor and aggressively unbuttoned his black long sleeves shirt. I just watch him in amusement as I watch him undress in full of passion.
“This is my first time seeing you ***** up-close for so long and I never know that you’ve got some nice abs there.”
“Uhm… well it is because I keep working out everyday to get myself busy.”
“Can I touch it?” I teasingly ask as walk towards him.”
“Only if you also take off your clothes too.” He jumps off to me and unbuckled my belt.
He pushed me down to the bed before continuing to unzip my pants and throwing it all down to the floor and leaving me with only wearing my boxers and my messy long sleeves shirt.
“You look so sexy right now Yuki.” He kisses my lips deeply as our tongues intertwined with each other.
After being satisfied with our intense kiss, his lips move down to my cheeks and he slowly kissed the back of my ears and then down to my neck while unbuttoning my shirt.
“Ahh~ Kazuya, please, not there.” He started licking my neck, down to my collarbones and it really feels ticklish as his tongue keeps brushing through my skin. He didn’t even stop and keeps licking me. “No, stop. I haven’t even shower yet.”
“It’s okay, I actually like your taste. It makes me remember the smell of the rain.”
“Idiot, it is because we just got wet from the rain.” I hook my arms around his neck to pull his body closer to mine as I ask for another kiss from him.
“Yuki, can we start now?” He started taking off my boxers and he slowly make his way down to my bottom.
I keep biting my lips when he started preparing me using his fingers.
“Nngghhh.” I keep trying to stop myself from making a sound but his fingers keep digging on my inside while his other hand continue to touch my d*ck.
“Yuki, just tell if it hurts okay?” he poured down more lubes to his fingers before inserting it again.
“Uhmmpph.” I make another sound as he added his third finger inside me.
“Yuki, please don’t *** yet. We are just getting started.” He said while tearing off a condom using his teeth, and without a doubt, it really looks so hot from my view underneath him.
He smoothly wears his condom and gently inserted his d*ck to my hole.
“Aughh~” I can no longer hold in my voice when he finally inserted it all inside me.
“Kazuya~” I suddenly feel him getting bigger inside me as I keep calling his name.
“Yuki, your voice is arousing me too much. Please continue calling out my name” he whispered to me and I can feel his hot breath in my ears.
“Augh! ~ Ahhhhh! ~ Kazuya~” The more that I let out my voice, the more that Kazuya gets wilder in doing it with me. With his endless supply of stamina, he continues to pound me until we both *** at the same time.
My hands started clawing its way to Kazuya’s back as I can no longer handle the mix of pain and pleasure of what we are doing. I wanted to keep my voice down to avoid getting Kazuya more excited and so I pulled him closer and started biting his shoulders and his neck.
“Yuki, I never knew that you have a thing with biting. Are you secretly a vampire?” he asked me as we take our rest after finishing for the third time.
“That’s because you won’t even flinch no matter how much I asked you to slow down.”
“But your voice and the way you call my name while moaning really excites me.”
“You sounded like a real pervert Kazuya.”
“Then you are a pervert too.” He suddenly stands up and grabs my legs while I am still lying flat on the bed.”
“Let’s try another position this time.” He grins at me and pulled me to the edge of the bed before he puts on another condom and inserting his mighty d*ck inside me for the countless times.
As I stayed lying flat with face buried on a pillow I managed to grab and half of my body pulled down by him to the floor, he started doing it while he is in a kneeling position on the floor.
My hands wander around to the surface of the bed to search for something to hold into but all I can hold into is the thin bed sheets of the hotel.
“Hummhp.” My voice leaked out even though I already buried my face down to the pillow.
“Yuki, please don’t hold in your voice. I want to hear it all over again.” He said as he keeps humping on my back.
“Kazuya~ please be a little gentle.”
“Yeah~ I will.”
“Ahhhhh! ~”
“Augh!”
…..
After a several more rounds of Kazuya and I doing different positions for the whole night, my body finally gives up at dawn. The next thing I know is when I open my eyes, Kazuya is sleeping deeply while clinging into me like a kid who is holding a teddy bear. I just stayed still and didn’t move the whole until he wakes up on his own.
“Good morning Yuki~” he gave me a kiss on the lips as soon as he opened his eyes.
“Yeah, good morning.” I said with my hoarse voice.
“Ah! What happened to your voice?”
“It’s all your fault pervert!”
I stand up to go to the bathroom but I suddenly fall down when I felt the pain coming from my back. This almost gives me the feeling of nostalgia on that time when I got a problem using my legs during my rehabilitation.
“Are you alright?”
“Who do you think is at fault here? Come on and carry me to the bathroom.”
“Yes sir!” he immediately put me in his arms like a prince carrying his princess and it only make me feel extreme embarrassment especially when we are both fully *****.
As we take a bath together, Kazuya started to get horny again but I fortunately manage to stop him by suggesting to relieve him using my hands.
“Yuki, what do you think about my performance last night?” I almost choked out the milk I am drinking when he asked me that question while we are eating our breakfast in the dining area of the hotel.
“Yeah, you did a great job destroying my backside. From now on, I will start calling you a bulldozer in bed instead of cherry-boy.”
“That sounds worse!”
“But that’s the only thing I can think of every time I tried to remember what we did last night.”
*ring**ring**ring*
My phone suddenly interrupted our conversation.
“Nii-san, where did you go last night? I thought that you are going to stay at Hisashi-nii’s place but he told me you are not there.” Koharu speaks with his nagging tone.
“I’m sorry, I forgot to message you last night.” My voice keeps cracking as I speak to him.
“Did you catch a cold? Why do you sound sick all of a sudden?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. Maybe just a little fever due to a sudden change of environment.”
“I see. I’m also planning to go there later so if you have some free time, maybe we can meet somewhere. I have something important to say to you.”
“Okay, just call me later so I will know where to go.”
“Yeah, see you later.”
I ended the call and started wondering what is that important thing that he wants to say.
“Yuki, is there something wrong? “
“Nothing, I am just curious about Koharu’s sudden call. Do you want to come with me later to meet Koharu?”
“Yes, of course.”
After we leave the hotel, Kazuya and I went back to his place. It was a small apartment where he started renting for almost three years after his old home collapsed from the earthquake. The room is almost empty with only a small bed, a cabinet and a chair and table in the corner with only a small picture frame placed above it, and when I pick up the frame, I saw that it was a photo of me, the miniature version of my enormous photo he got back then.
“Meow!~” I was surprised when Naoya suddenly appeared from below the table.
I never expected that I will get to see him again after many years and he still recognize me.
“Naoya, I miss you.” I carry him up and let our faces touch each other.
“Nyaaann~” Naoya started licking my nose affectionately.
“Ahhh!” I suddenly feel Kazuya’s tongue licking the back of my neck. “What do you think you are doing?”
“Because it’s not fair. I also want to lick you like this~” he put his hands around my waist as he pulled me closer and whispered to my left ear. “Yuki, I love you.”
I turn my face to his side and I didn’t expect that he was waiting for that moment to kiss me on the lips.”
“Got you.” He winked at me after kissing me and it was definitely a direct shot to my heart.
“I finally did it! Didn’t I told you back then that I will definitely steal a kiss from you that will leave you mesmerized? I told you. I can really do it.”
My face is burning hot with his upgraded skills of flirting. I am very sure that he can see how my ears and nape also turn red from his position. I buried my face to Naoya’s fur to hide my expression from him.
“Oy, Yuki, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing.”
“Why are you hiding your face? Are you crying?” He immediately let go of my waist and walks in front of me to see my face. “Hey, Yuki, what’s wrong?”
I swiftly put Naoya down and kiss him without any warning. “I love you too~” I wink at him just like what he did and I was able to witness how he gets flustered just like what he did to me.
“That’s not fair. Why do you have to attack back when I just thought that I finally did it? Ahhh, why do you always make me feel this way?” Even his hands are blushing after my kiss.
“I’m glad that you are still adorable just how you are three years ago. You are still cute.”
After we spend the whole morning lazing around inside his apartment, I realized that I didn’t even have spare clothes with me the whole time because all of my things were brought back by my parents to their place.
“Kazuya, let’s go shopping. I need to buy some clothes.”
“Why? Don’t you have any spare clothes with you when you get here?”
“No, I only have my phone and my credit card with me when Hisashi picked me up yesterday.”
“Then, when are you planning to go back to your parents’ town?”
“I am actually wanted to stay here with you for a week while I look for a new place to stay in this city. Then after that, I will go back there to pick up my things.”
“I see, but are you okay staying here? This apartment is too small for the two of us.”
“It is fine. It is just for a week and besides, I am thinking of asking you to live with me in the new place that I will get.”
“Really? You want us to live together?”
“Of course. I’ve been dreaming about that since I was in Canada the whole time.”
“Then let’s do it! Let’s go and find a perfect place for the two of us!”
“Meow!”
“And Naoya, of course.” He added.
“Okay, but let me buy some new clothes first.”
“Okay, let’s go and have our lunch while we are out.”
While we are shopping in the department store, we spotted Hisashi and Miyoshi walking in the Kitchen essentials side of the store.
“Hey, didn’t I tell you that it doesn’t need to be a couple mug? I already have my own mug at home so what’s the point of buying another one for me?” I can already hear Hisashi’s voice even from a distance.
“But I want to get a pair. The mug that you are using is already old, it’s time for you too get a new one.” Miyoshi keeps holding two cute mugs.
“Okay, okay. But that’s enough. We don’t need to buy an entire set of kitchen utensils and plates that they are offering for newlyweds.” Hisashi finally accepted the mugs and put it inside their shopping basket.
“Oh, Naoyuki-san, congratulations in your recovery and welcome back.” Miyoshi greeted me as soon as he saw me walking towards them.
On the other hand, Kazuya approached Hisashi to interrogate him about keeping our secret of my recovery. I just ignore them and walk closer to Miyoshi.
“Thank you Miyoshi-kun. By the way, are you also shopping together?”
“Yes, I am buying some things that I will use whenever I stay over Hisashi’s place. You see, he doesn’t even have enough things on his place so it was really a hassle every time I stay over during weekends.”
“I see.” I secretly take a look on what’s inside their shopping basket that Hisashi left on the floor and I spotted a pair of toothbrushes, a pair of pajamas and a pair of indoor slippers.
“Pftttt” I try holding in my laughter as I imagine Hisashi wearing that couple pajamas and the pink indoor slippers with a very cute bunny design.
“Are you okay Naoyuki-san?” Miyoshi notice how I struggle to breath as I hold my laughter.
“I’m okay- Hahahaha- I’m just happy to see how you and Hisashi is doing great. The two of you really looks so cute together.”
“Is that so?” Miyoshi blushes as he takes a short glance at Hisashi from a distance.
“Yeah, you are the perfect person for that guy. And if he ever makes you cry, just call me and I will come to scold him.”
“Okay, I will.”
“by the way, did you already eat your lunch? Want to eat together?”
“Is that really okay?”
“Yes, it will be fun and just think of it as a double date.”
“A date?!” Miyoshi keeps getting flustered since we started talking.
“Hey what are you talking with Miyoshi?” Hasashi and Kazuya walk back to us.
“I’m just inviting the two of you to eat lunch with us.”
“Hisashi, let’s go with them.” Miyoshi said with his face still red.
“But we are still-.”
“It’s my treat.”
“Let’s go!” He changes his mind in a matter of second. This is exactly the Hisashi I know.
As we enjoy our lunch together, we didn’t expect to discover Koharu’s secret out of nowhere. While I am enjoying the pasta that I ordered with my head above the clouds, I blankly stare outside the glass window of the restaurant we are eating inside the mall. I thought that I am still daydreaming when I saw Koharu sharing a drink with his tall roommate back then.
My jaw dropped open with some pasta dangling out when I realized that I wasn’t hallucinating.
“Ko-koharu?!” I exclaim causing my three companions to also look to direction where I am looking.
“Nii-san?!” Koharu finally notice the four of us looking at him from the other side of the restaurant’s glass window.
Hisashi slammed the table before marching out to pull Koharu and the guy with him inside the restaurant.
“Koharu, sit next to your big brother and you, sit beside me.” Hisashi said as they walk back inside.
“Hello everyone, Ahahaha.” Koharu made an awkward sounding laugh as we all look at him.
“Koharu, why the heck are you flirting publicly with this guy? Is he your boyfriend? And why is this the first time that I see this guy?” Hisashi sounded like a father interrogating his son whom he caught dating secretly.
“Ah let me explain first- “
“And you Nao. Do you even know about this?” Hisashi interrupted Koharu and pointed out his sharp glance at me.
“Of course not. I don’t know.” I said to him just to clear my name.
“And you, what is your name?” He turns his head to the guy he asks to sit next to him and Kazuya.
“My name is Kumiko Sorashi. I am Koharu’s b–“
“Wait a minute!” My denial brother shut Sorashi’s mouth with the garlic bread he stole from my plate.
“Why are you interrupting this dude to speak?” Hisashi is really into acting like a strict dad right now.
“Sora and I are just close friends. We just missed each other so much after I stayed in Canada for 3 years so we got a little bit excited meeting each other.
“Sorashi-kin, please tell us the truth or else-“ Hisashi cannot even finish his threat because Sorashi-kun started talking as soon as he finishes chewing and swallowing my beloved garlic bread.
“I am Koharu’s boyfriend.” He straightforwardly said with a very serious face without even flinching from Hisashi’s glare.
*bang* That’s the sound of Koharu slamming his face down to the table.
“This is too embarrassing.” I can hear Koharu’s muttering as he keeps his head down to the table.
“Are you still a college student? A graduate? Or are you already working?” Hisashi keeps throwing default questions and so I signaled Kazuya to make him stop.
“Bro, please stop harassing Sorashi-kun just like how you treat me back then.”
“Huh? When did I ever harass you? Wait, I’m not even harassing this kid.”
Hisashi’s attention finally left Sorashi peacefully but he started having his usual battle against Kazuya and getting Sorashi-kun trapped in between them.
“Nii-san, I’m really sorry for making you see what we are doing. I actually planned to meet you later to formally introduce him to you but you caught us.”
“So, this is the important thing that you are going to say later huh? Don’t worry, I am not against the two of you but next time, please be careful in publicly displaying your affection to each other.”
“Yes, I will never forget how embarrassing it was so I wont dare to try it again.”
“Good. So, when did the two of you started dating?”
“Uhm, I think the day right after I woke up after my heart operation.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I already made a promise to him beforehand that I will start dating him if I survive my operation.”
“That’s so sweet, but is he really a good guy? Why do I feel like he is always wearing a poker face and doesn’t even laugh no matter how funny a joke was.”
“He is the best guy for me and just to make things clear, he has the brightest smile I ever seen in my life.”
“Eh?” Miyoshi who was just silent the whole time cannot stop himself from reacting to my brother’s statement. “Really? That guy can smile? Seriously?”
Afterwards, we finish our meals and left the restaurant. Miyoshi dragged Hisashi away and bid us goodbye before Hisashi starts to interrogate Koharu again.
Sorashi and Koharu also leave immediately telling me us that they are going to meet some of their college friends.
“Did you have fun today?” Kazuya asks me when we are walking outside.
“Yes, it is really a very fun day and I really thought that I will not ever with all of you. It almost feels like a dream.”
“No, you are not dreaming. From now on, all you can ever feel and see are all happiness as long as we are together.” He holds my hands tightly as walk together while watching the sunset on our way back to his place.
