Chapter 43:
“Do you have any idea, Jin?” Kazuya asked then.
~ FLASHBACK ~
"Then is there any country or anywhere that you have not been to yet but wish to go?" Jin asked Kazuya at the end of his babbling.
"Hmm... nowhere in particular yet. Wait… hmm, maybe Florence? Florence is also part of Italy. It is a nice place."
~ END OF FLASHBACK ~
“OH RIGHT! I got it! Kazu, Kazu, let me speak to Kei! I have got a fantastic place to recommend him!” Jin shouted in excitement abruptly.
Kazuya handed the cellphone over to Jin skeptically and waited for Jin’s recommended suggestion.
“Hello, Kei? Jin here.” Jin spoke into the device as soon as he got it in his hands.
“Hey Jin~ yeah? Got any nice suggestion for me?” Keita’s cheerful voice floated over.
“Yes. Just now, Kazu was suggesting Milan right? How about Florence then? It’s also in Italy. What do you think?” Jin insinuated.
“Florence? I am not familiar with that place yet.” Keita’s worried voice came.
“Ah, I remembered I read about this place from a book some time back as I found it to be really interesting. It stated that Florence maintains an exceptional artistic heritage, and since you said you need a place that is artistic, I think Florence is kind of suitable. Perhaps you will want to go to the Internet and research about this place first?” Jin told Keita, skillfully avoided mentioning that in actual fact, Kazuya was the one who once mentioned before that he wanted to visit Florence some time in the future. And because of Kazuya, Jin went to research on that place and discovered many beautiful things about it.
“Great, I will do that later. Nice idea, Jin. Thank you very much!”
“You’re welcome~” Jin greeted Keita back. “Oh, anyway, Florence was once named as Florentia which meant ‘the flourishing’, just nice for you, don’t you think so?”
“Really, how is that so?” Keita felt inquisitive.
“Because flourishing meant one is in his prime time, at the height of fame. Hence for you now, you are achieving very well now so I personally think that Florence is a very suitable place for you, both in terms of the artistic feel you are looking out for and the meaning behind the place. Its bonus.” Jin explained patiently while Kazuya and Yamapi gaped at him in awe beside him.
“You really know a lot, Jin.” Keita complimented.
“Well, thanks to my liking towards Italian pasta so I tend to read a lot on these places and their food.” Jin giggled, still avoiding mentioning about his love.
“Ah, then I shall bring you guys along with me too!” Keita shouted in exhilaration.
“Huh?” Jin got dumbfounded.
“Yeah, I will go there to work on my bibliography book shots while you guys can go over there to have a nice belated graduation holiday trip! Isn’t that great?” Keita suggested.
“Hmm… Are you sure?” Jin hesitated, brows coming together.
“Yes, I am very sure! Help me to inform Kazu-chan and Pi too. I will update you guys on the date to depart later then!”
“Hang on! Then about the place…” Jin trailed off, waiting for Keita to continue his answer for him.
“Ah, I will choose Florence! Really, thank you so much, Jin! I will do the research now.”
“I see…” Jin smiled out earnestly and gained confusing looks from Yamapi and Kazuya. “Okay, then we will be waiting for your news then! Bye~”
“Sure, goodbye! Oh, and help me to say ‘thanks’ to Pi and Kazu-chan too! Bye-bi!”
“Alright. Bye bi~” Jin mimicked Keita and giggled while flipping the cellphone shut.
“What, what, what?” Yamapi asked Jin right after he had hung up the phone call.
“Oh, Kei wanted me to inform you guys that he will be bringing us along for this trip and that he will confirm the date with us again. So be prepared for the upcoming wonderful trip~” Jin answered happily.
“EH?” Kazuya let out.
“YAY~ Holiday! I can’t wait for it!” Yamapi’s outburst was totally different from Kazuya’s.
“So where does he want to go then?” Kazuya asked.
“Oh, in the end, he chose Florence. Reason is… what I had just told him.” Jin smiled in triumphant.
“Florence… I see.” Kazuya mumbled. That sounded familiar. “Ne Jin, you really like Italy, aren’t you?”
“Hmm… I guess so ne. Remembered what I had told you when we first had our pasta dinner together?” Jin smiled in nostalgic and Kazuya nodded.
“I really want to taste the real Italian food…” Jin answered in a soft voice. “And… remembered what you replied me?”
Kazuya shook his head tentatively this time after a few seconds of serious thinking.
“You told me you would like to visit Florence if there is a chance.”
“Really? I can’t remember that!” Kazuya laughed out haphazardly at his poor memory. “In that case, we shall go to Florence then.” Kazuya beamed and Jin beamed brightly back at him whilst Yamapi was dancing happily behind them, enthralled over the news.
~*~
“Ah, I missed Florence already, Kazu~!” Jin whined ruefully while rolling about on Kazuya’s bed.
“Quit your pig whining, Jin. We had just arrived back in Japan.” Kazuya proceeded to sit on the couch and sipped from a glass of ice-water. “And haven’t you had enough of Florence since we had been there for like, what? 10 days?”
“Noooo~ I missed their food, Kazu…” Jin continued to whine, much to the provocation of Kazuya’s.
“Food again? Jin… you have been stuffing yourself with pasta and desserts for every meal at there!” Kazuya glared at Jin in disbelief.
“But you aren’t really eating a lot so I am helping you out…” Jin tried to retort but failed miserably.
“Well, by ordering new plates of food and desserts weren’t considered as helping me out, am I right?” Kazuya asked back sarcastically. “I can’t imagine how much you weigh now…” Kazuya rolled his eyes along with his remark.
“Hey, easy with that comment okay, Kazu? I’m getting concerned here. I can’t imagine how we are going to compromise when we are living together soon…” Jin mumbled grumpily while shifting into a new position with his left arm sandwiched between his head and the bed-sheets while his right arm was resting leisurely on his abdomen.
“Well, we can-” Kazuya was about to retort back when he felt something was odd with Jin’s previous remark. “What did you just say?”
“I said, easy with that derisive comment of yours.” Jin huffed, still feeling unhappy and grumpy over his lover’s remark.
“No, I mean the line after this.”
“I’m getting concerned.” Jin answered again in a flat tone.
Kazuya paused for a second. “No, another line after this.”
“What?” Jin started to get irritated and sat up. “I said I can’t imagine how we are going to compromise when we are living together soon.” He repeated each and every word truthfully without sparing a second thought.
Kazuya gasped. “Jin…” His eyes widened and stared at the figure on the bed intensely.
“What?” Jin asked impatiently.
“Are you serious about it?” Kazuya placed his glass of water down and paced towards Jin who’s lying back down on the bed.
“About what? Living together?” Jin asked casually.
Nevertheless, Kazuya nodded though he could see that Jin’s gaze wasn’t cast on him.
“Hell yes, I am completely sure. Why? Are you going to oppose it?” Jin replied seriously yet densely at the same time, his gaze still fixed firmly on the pure white ceiling.
No sound came from Kazuya and Jin curiously peeked over to see what had happened to the smaller man. And he was met with a sight of his boyfriend sitting cross-legged in a slouchy way beside him on the bed, a few drops of tears flowing beautifully down his cheeks quietly and his hands fumbling with a small beige pillow.
“Kazu?” Jin sat up again and leaned towards his boyfriend. “What’s wrong?”
“Jin…” Kazuya peered up and launched himself at Jin, causing both of them to fall back down on the soft bed.
“Eh?” Jin let out.
“Jin, I am the happiest person now.” Kazuya confessed while slipping down from Jin’s body and snuggled closer to Jin, his head resting on Jin’s broad chest.
“Why is that so?” Jin wrapped his arm over Kazuya, pulling him even closer.
“Because… Jin had just asked me to live with him.” Kazuya answered plainly yet sweetly.
Jin smiled and pressed a kiss on Kazuya’s head. “Yes, I did. I have been planning this since quite some time back.”
“Then why haven’t you been telling me anything?”
“Because I wanted to meant it as a surprise for you.” Jin replied and tried to get up into a sitting position, making Kazuya to follow along.
Jin placed his hands on Kazuya’s shoulders and asked in a serious tone. “Now that we have my parents’ approval, Kazu, will you live your life with me starting from now on?”
Kazuya stared back at Jin with his glassy orbs and nodded his head coyly. “Hn, I want to.” Kazuya smiled angelically like a delighted child. “Thank you, Jin.”
Jin mirrored Kazuya’s sweet smile and leaned forward to seal their lips with a simple, sugary kiss.
“Thank you too, Kazu, for allowing my wish to come true. I am satisfied with just living the rest of my life blissfully with you by my side.”
“Hn.” Kazuya nodded his head again and slipped into Jin’s lukewarm embrace, burying his face into Jin’s neck and nuzzled there.
“But Jin… where will our home be? Your apartment is out of question, right?” Kazuya murmured.
“Well, actually I have bought an apartment in Roppongi Hills. It’s currently undergoing the renovation process and it had reached the final stage now. A few more touch-ups here and there and we are ready to move in.”
“EH!? Roppongi Hills!?” Kazuya got a shock and pulled away to look at Jin with his comical wide eyes.
“Yes… it’s very convenient there. And most importantly, my sweet-sweet Kazu’s favorite Louis Vuitton shop is located around that area too~” Jin smiled in smug, feeling proud of himself for finding such a fabulous location and pointed his index finger to his puffed right cheek, hinting Kazuya that he deserved a rewarding kiss. Kazuya did as he was signaled shyly.
“Thank you, Jin! Thank you sooooo much! I love you so much!” Kazuya beamed in colorful delight and pecked Jin on his lips as a bonus.
“Hmm… Since I love you so much to buy you an apartment that you are so fond of, shouldn’t you reward me with something more?” Jin smirked while pointing his index finger to his lips again and tapped there two times.
Kazuya getting the hint leaned forward to seal their lips with another chaste, simple kiss but full of love. Then they fell into fits of delightful giggles.
Jin pulled Kazuya down, half-lying onto his chest and cuddled him. “Kazu, do you feel happy with my arrangement?”
“Jin… If I were to tell you that actually I wanted to live by the sea and that is my dream, what do you say? Do you think we are able to?” Kazuya asked at the same time as Jin was stroking on Kazuya’s hair.
A/N: okay, erm, I wanna apologise for skipping the part at Florence as my muse certainly didn’t hit me for that. And I am super pissed off with LJ as they kept saying that my post is too large so now, I have to cut it at an inappropriate place. Sucks. I will try to make it up in the next update. Sorry about that as I need to go study for my upcoming test now. As usual, drop your kisses after reading? ^^
