Kriiiiiing~
Without opening his eyes, he reached out to turn off the alarm clock.
Five minutes more...he grumbled still unable to open his eyes. He turned to hug his bolster, but instead of a long bulky bolster, he landed on a warm and smooth human skin. He turned around and rubbed his eyes. Jun? Is he dreaming? He was pretty sure he didn't get drunk last night, nor does he invited Jun to sleep at his house. How did?
"Maa...Iii yo..." Sho sigh, "Anyway, we didn't do anything last night." He said to himself after confirming that he's still in his untouched pajamas. He turned on his back, laying to stare at the ceiling.
Japan. He's finally back and need to kick a start by this morning. He's starting on a new project soon. He had to get up but he was still reluctant to move. He breathed heavily. Instead of work, the thought of Aiba is worse. He couldn't imagine what to do, or what to say if they met. Aiba's place and his workplace is just two station away. Anything could happen. Jun's sudden move shook away his thought. He heaved a deep sigh and get out of bed.
"Morning." Jun said, eyes still half opened.
"Morning." Sho said imperturbably, "How'd you get in?"
"I had one of your spare key. My house is too far from the bar, so I decided to sleepover."
"Where'd you get it?" Sho's said as he brushes his teeth.
"Aiba asked me to give it to you before we go to America. I thought it'd be of some use one day, so I kept it."
The mention of Aiba's name always made his heart stop, "Ne...aren't you getting ready?"
"In a minute.." He really is weak in the morning. He pulled back the sheet to cover his body before dozing off for awhile. After finish his bathing, Sho went for a cup of coffee. There were only two mug in his house. A red and green mug. When he looked at it, memories flood in making him almost tearing up. Aiba was never fond of coffee, but he filled it with tea. Every morning, if he stays over, he would definitely make some coffee and tea, and they would sit at the breakfast table getting all lovey dovey. Sometimes he would have to taste Aiba's weird cooking, or wake up to the loud sound of pan banging from the kitchen. He could laugh over and over again just reminiscing this memory. Their morning used to be filled with laughter before he went and ruin it all. He took the mug and put it into the cupboard.
"Jun, I'm leaving first..." Sho said as he put on his socks and shoes.

Sho's black sedan stopped at a junction when it suddenly rained. The traffic light signalled a stop colored light. He looked at his watch. It's still early. Just as he got his eyes back on the road, he realized a familiar figure running for shades under one of the nearby restaurant's roof.
He was clinging to his coat tightly to shove away the cold.
Sho's heart stopped for a moment. Aiba. That name he hardly said out loud for the past year. That guy's still the same. He's always forgetting his umbrella. Sho wanted to go out, but he won't budge a muscle. He parked his car across the street to observe Aiba some more, collecting the courage to walk up to him. What would he say? What would he do? Should he apologize? Should he just act like nothing happen? How is he? So many questions lingered in his thoughts.
His hand halted from opening the car door when he realized Aiba was waving at someone...more to his surprise, the man who resembled him so much. He took a few glance on the mirror, then to the guy, then to his reflection again. Apart from the tan, the hairstyle and the elegant gesture, he's the perfect splitting image of him.
"Doppleganger?" Sho said to himself. The man rushed towards Aiba and pulled him closer to him so that he'd be under the umbrella.
"What the hell? He found my replacement?" Sho clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Well, I found myself one too...but...but...he'd have to find someone resembling me so much..." Sho speed out of the area in a dash. He felt betrayed by Aiba, knowing he shouldn't really disturbed by the turn of event. He's also currently with Jun.
He finally stopped at a bar in the heart of the city. Upon going out, he slammed the car door loudly, ignoring the watchful eyes around.
Nino and Ohno raised a glass towards him as he makes his entrance, "Yo, American!"
Sho flopped down on his seat, "Where's Jun?"
"Beats me..." Nino and Ohno looked at each other confused at Sho's lack of mood, "Ne, is Japan such a disappointment as compared to America. You hated Japan so much?"
"Nah..." Sho heaved a sigh, "I just saw something I shouldn't have seen. Man, let's stop talking about that. How are you guys doing?"
Ohno opened his phone and flashed the photo of him and Nino kissing, "We're doing absolutely well."
Sho laughed out loud, "You don't have to show that..."
Just then, Jun entered, pecking a kiss at Sho's cheek before sitting down, "Guys...how's it going?" Nino and Ohno were surprised at the sudden action.
"You guys are dating?" Nino spoke loudly, "You guys are dating?!" Ohno pat on Nino's back to calm him down, "Since when?"
Sho and Jun looked at each other, "A year..." Sho realized the irritated eyes Nino had for him. As Aiba's long time best friend, he sense the protective atmosphere developed.
"That fast?" Nino said trying to calm himself, "I know you both are like...friends since I don't know when...but...to hit it off so fast?
Unbelievable."
"What's with that tone?" Jun said realizing the sarcasm.
"I'm just saying..."
"Oh come on Nino, I know what you're trying to say, " Sho said, gulping drinks from his glass, "What about Aiba...yada yada yada...Well, if he can why can't I? That's totally biased." Now all eyes were on him.
"Can what?"
"Stop concealing it Nino. I know that guy's been seeing someone. Plus, someone that looks like me..."
Nino clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, "You're meaning to say, that the unpleasant thing you saw just now was them together?"
"I won't hide it anymore..." Sho said nonchalantly. Jun and Ohno were speechless at the sudden argument, "Really? Someone resembling me? Really?"
"Guys, it's supposed to be our reunion." Ohno interrupted. Sho and Nino pulled back, What Ohno said is true. They should be cheering on their return, but instead, they were bickering. Nino apologized at both of them and immediately changed the topic. It was indeed awkward at the beginning, but as time progressed, they were laughing like nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry." Jun said suddenly as they both walked towards their car. They were holding hands as they stroll along the pathway.
"Why?" Sho said concerned.
"Our relationship caused the problem..." Jun said coolly, "We should have hide it longer."
Sho pulled Jun's hand he was helding and put it inside his pocket, "You shouldn't be worrying about that. You know how protective Nino is toward that guy. You shouldn't be burdened on dating me. You help me when I was broken..."
Jun stopped at his car, "Ne, you still love him right?"
"What? No.." Sho's voice trembled.
"I know you better than that you know..." Jun smiled before entering his car.
Sho pulled Jun out of the car and pushed his body against the car door. He punge a kiss so passionate, it was so hard to take his breath,
"He's my history...and you're my present."
Jun just smiled and entered his car. Once he was inside his car, his smile worn off, "You can't fool me with that, Sho..." There never was a phrase of I love you from Sho. They just hit it off one day. Sho was depressed. He was the only one with him keeping his feet on the ground. He wouldn't blame Sho for it. He's the one taking advantage of Sho while he was down. This is what he deserved.

Without knowing, Sho was already in front of Aiba's apartment. He couldn't get his mind off Aiba the moment he saw him. He knew very well how wrong he is, kissing Jun and telling him things he's not even sure if he meant it.
A white caymen caught his attention as the car entered the parking ground. Sho trailed the white Caymen into the praking ground and park at a place quite secluded, avoiding to be found. What is he doing? He thought to himself.
Aiba finally got off the car heading to his apartment. Sho followed him from a distance. Just then, a black car stopped in front of Aiba. Aiba was shocked, he almost fell.
It's the clone guy - apparently, that's the only name that Sho can refer to him as.
"What are you doing, Mimura-san?"
Ah, his name is Mimura...but honorific?
"You left your phone in my car." Mimura said playfully, "Are you trying to see me again?"
"What a pervert." Sho was cursing under his breath, "I'm so much better."
Aiba took the phone forcefully from his hand, "Thanks...but I really do forget. Sorry to trouble you."
"It's ok. At least I manage to visit your neighborhood." Mimura crossed his arm and leaned back on his car, "Nice neighborhood."
"Wait until you see the interior...I love the design..." Aiba thought for a while, "Well, since you took the time to return my phone, would a glass of wine do it?"
"You're inviting me to your house? My, that's a surprise."
"Wait...you can't! No Aiba...No..." That's when he realized Mimura eyes were actually at him, mocking him with his devilish smirk. He knew. He knew about his presence. He's seriously looking, amused with his anxiety. Then his eyes went back to Aiba, "Nah...I'll pass today. I have an early start tomorrow. Take care."
When Aiba left, Mimura just bowed slightly towards Sho before leaving in his lavish car.
"Ohhh I hate that guy's guts." Sho was relieved though, that he knew there was nothing serious going on between those two. No wonder
Nino was so pissed off at him. Aiba's still clinging on to their past.
