“Papa, what’s wrong? Are you waiting for a call?” Reika placed her hand gently on her father’s lap as she snuggled closer. Her father had been staring at his phone for the past hour and she can’t help it feeling slightly worried over it.
Jin shook his head and pulled her tighter. They were sitting in front of the TV watching an old movie, but while Reika returned her attention to the movie, Jin’s mind continued wandering over to a certain sensei he was not able to get through since the day before. “Ne Reika, did Kamenashi sensei mention anything today?”
The little girl looked up and shook her head “He took an emergency leave today. Well, that’s what Kitagawa sensei informed us in class.”
The earlier frown deepens and he quickly snapped open his cell phone. But his action was stalled when the quiet room suddenly fills with the rhythmic door bell.
“I’ll get it” Reika announced eagerly, rushing towards the door.
Jin tightens his fist over the thin phone as he decided to call Kame as soon as he sorted out his unexpected guest. But his eyes widen when he saw the person he had awaited for smiling to his daughter as soon as Reika pulled the door open.
“Sensei” she happily clinging over the guy who was carrying two bags of groceries.
“What a pleasant surprise” Jin tried his best to stay calm even though all he wanted to do was pulled the guy into a tight embrace.
“Do I have tuition today?” Reika quirked her brows questioningly.
“No. I just felt like eating pasta. I heard there’s a great pasta chef here” he smiled sweetly at Jin who was observing the two closely.
Reika grabbed one of the bags and opened it excitedly “Spaghetti!” She skipped happily to the kitchen carrying one of the groceries bag.
Jin took the other bag right after he locked the door “Where have you been?”
“What do you mean” Kame replied nervously, trying to avoid the intense looking eyes.
“I’ve tried to call you since last night” Jin stated firmly just as his hand found its way on Kame’s back. “I was worried that something had happened to you. I even thought of calling Yamashita but then realized I don’t even have his number.”
Kame let out nervous chuckles “You think too much. I’m alright. I have some urgent matter to settle yesterday” Kame replied softly and quickens his strides to the kitchen where Reika had already started sorting out the groceries.
Jin can’t help it feeling complete blissful watching Kame help out in the kitchen wearing an identical apron Reika insisted he buy for the sensei. Reika and Kame were chopping the vegetables while Jin work on the sauce.
“That smell so sweet” Kame came closer and sniffed right behind Jin’s shoulder “Can’t wait to try it.”
“You smell sweet as well. Can I have a taste?” Jin whispered accompanied by his adoring gaze.
Kame blushed furiously and took a step back “Reika, can you lets set up the table. I think it’s about ready.”
“Haik” the little girl jumped from her seat and helped Kame carrying the plates from the cabinet to their dining hall.
While Reika was out of sight, Kame leaned towards Jin and gave him a peck on his already sweaty cheek. Jin felt his face beamed of happiness as he continues stirring the thick spaghetti sauce.
*******************
“That was the best spaghetti I have ever tasted” Kame announced as the three settled in the living hall, sipping their teas.
Jin smiled proudly “I got that all the time.”
Kame replied it with a merry laughter “You should show some modesty here. It’s not good to brag in front of your daughter.”
“But it’s a fact. Right Reika” Jin poked his daughter playfully.
Reika shrieked and tried to free herself “But Papa, you haven’t tried sensei’s fried rice.”
Jin arched his brows amusingly “So, sensei, when are you going to cook your famous fried rice for me?”
“Oh, but I only cook fried rice for breakfast” he smiled innocently.
“Then I guess you have to stay for the night then” Jin replied boldly and watched Kame’s compose face turned bright red again.
The sensei fake a cough before continue “Reika, isn’t it late already.”
The little girl pouted “But I want to stay with sensei a little longer. And tomorrow is Saturday”
Jin stood up “It’s not healthy for a young girl to stay up this late. Now, let me tuck you in.”
“Ano, can I tuck her in tonight” Kame stood up and bow slightly to Jin.
The older guy sensed something was off, but he agreed nonetheless “I’ll wait for you here then.”
Reika happily took her sensei hand and lead Kame to the stairs straight to her room before excusing herself to the toilet.
Kame sat on a small chair next to her bed waiting for the little girl. There was a photo frame with Jin and Reika on the table where Kame picked it up and smiled to it.
“It was taken last year on my birthday” Reika’s soft voice brought Kame back to reality.
“You guys looked so cute” Kame replied before putting down the frame.
The little girl was observing him closely “Sensei, is something wrong? You look different today.”
Kame pursed his lips trying to hold back the tears “I just need a little hug.”
Reika jumped into Kame’s open arms and stayed there firmly. After few minutes, Kame slowly pulled her away and gently placed her on the bed next to him. “Do you have a dream?”
She nodded enthusiastically “I do. I want to be a teacher.”
He circled his arm around the girl “I’m sure you’ll be a great teacher.” Kame paused for awhile, trying to gather his strength “I also have dream. But unfortunately to reach this dream I have to be away from the one that I love.”
“What do you mean?” Reika looked up abruptly with worried written on her beautiful face.
“I can’t be your teacher anymore” he replied under his breath, feeling the burden in his heart.
“No” she jumped off the bed, standing firmly in front of her beloved sensei. Hot tears slowly fall from her big brown eyes “You can’t do that.”
Kame pulled her into another hugged and patted her back “I have to. I want to be someone you and your father will be proud off.”
Soft sobbed escaped her throat as she hide her face on Kame’s shoulder “But we are already proud of you.”
Kame gently stroked her hair, tasting his own salty tears “Don’t worry dear. I will always be your sensei.”
She took awhile to calm down. When she finally pulled away, Kame tucked her in bed and kissed her forehead. “Reika, you are my brightest student and I the sweetest among all. Don’t tell anyone but you are my favorite.”
A small smile crossed her teary face as she snuggled closer.
“If you don’t mind, I would love to continue giving tuition to you” he gently tucked her strands of hair back.
“how?” Reika asked softly. Her voice was slightly hoarse.
Kame smiled softly “But you have to promise you can’t tell your father about it.”
She purses her lips tightly giving a deep thought over it.
***********************
“Hey, what took you so long?” Jin called from the couch as soon as he saw Kame walked down the stairs. “I thought of going up and drag you down if you still don’t show up in 10 more minutes.”
“Don’t tell me you are jealous with your own daughter” Kame teased, making his way next to Jin.
Jin pouted playfully and pulled Kame to his side “She’s been monopolizing you the whole night.”
Kame patted Jin’s head “There, there, I’m yours now.”
“Really” he smirked naughtily; tighten his gripped over the smaller guy.
Kame leaned in and gave a soft peck on Jin’s pointed nose.
“That’s not enough. I need more” Jin whispered seductively.
The younger guy move in even closer and trailed small kisses around Jin’s jaw before meeting his pouty lips. “Will that be okay?”
A pervert smile crossed over his beautiful lips “Nope. Let me show how a real kiss should be like.”
Jin pushed Kame to his back, ignoring the soft surprise grunt from the other. Having Kame under him was enough to arouse him. He felt his desire shoot up greatly as he leaned over his lover, claiming the thin lips as his.
Sensually Jin licked the already read lips, wetting it demanding entrance.
Kame whimpered slightly at the demand but obliged to it as his lips parted to give way to Jin. The older guy kisses him deeply, devouring as much as he can sliding their tongue in rhythmic motion. His hands were all over the place, enjoying his new territory.
When he pulled away, both were panting for air with eyes darken with desire. Jin stood up abruptly and pulled Kame to his feet. He dragged Kame along almost abusively. As soon as they reached Jin’s room, he locked the door and slightly pushed Kame to his bed.
There was a sudden worried flashed over Kame’s face. Jin noticed it but thought Kame was just being shy as he crawled over the guy, leaning down, hovering playfully. Then he felt Kame’s hand on his chest, giving him a little push.
“I don’t think we should” Kame muttered, avoiding the piercing eyes darting through his.
“I disagree” Jin ghostly kissed Kame’s collar bone. He smiled satisfactory as Kame squirmed in defense. He then moved lover, slowly pulling up the thin clothes hiding Kame’s well toned abs. His fingers trailed the soft curves, admiring the strained muscles.
Kame jolted up to a sitting position “I mean, I don’t think we should do it here while Reika is just next door” Kame tried to reason with a forceful kiss. Jin was quite surprise by it and Kame took the opportunity to roll Jin to his back.
But instead of protesting, the older guy gave out a suggestive smile “Well, I would picture me topping but if you insist.”
Kame sighed deeply “Jin I mean it.”
Jin observed Kame intensely before heave heavily and opened his arms “Come here.”
The other hesitated at first unsure whether it’s safe. But seeing the calm smile he had always love appeared, Kame gently settled in Jin’s arms.
“I really do think we should do it already, but I will not push you” Jin secured his embraced around Kame as they snuggled closer.
Kame leaned towards the other and gingerly kiss his lips “I love you.”
“I know” Jin answered softly even though he knew it was not the answer Kame was waiting for. The truth was, he never declared his love to Kame even though deep inside he craved to say it out aloud. He’s afraid of the uncertainty and his dark pass kept on making excuses.
A soft smile presented to him before Kame returned to the earlier position “Do you believe in fate?”
“I do” Jin replied naturally, softly stroking Kame’s arm.
“Well, I believe fate repeat itself all the time until it find the most suitable moment” Kame calmly stated his opinion.
“What do you mean?” Jin asked curiously.
“Well, take us for example. Our fate had brought us together years back. But since the time was not suitable, nothing happened” Kame reminded him of the memories.
“It’s all your friend’s fault. If he’s not so clingy I might make my move back then” Jin whined as he nestled in Kame’s crook of neck.
Kame shook his head “It was just not meant to be back then. Most probably our relationship would not survive the long distant and such. But then we met again.”
“It’s unbelievably great isn’t it? What are the odds for us to meet again under the circumstances?” Jin tightens his hold around Kame’s body.
The other guy nodded gently “Yes, that’s what I meant by fate repeats itself.” A long paused followed before Kame added in “Therefore, if we got separated again, fate will help us to find each other sooner or later.”
“What nonsense you are talking about? I’m not letting fate interrupted us again. I’m not letting you go anywhere out of sight” Jin voiced raised up slightly.
“Jin, do you trust me?” Kame’s voice was so soft; Jin had to squirm just to listen to it.
“Of course I do” Jin pulled Kame into another kiss.
************************
The blinds were not properly shut the night before. End up Jin was woke up with the bright light jerking through it. Soft cursed were uttered as he rolled over to the other side trying to avoid the painful sight. But noticing the empty space and the warm which had left him, Jin open his eyes slowly noticing someone was missing.
He slowly pulled himself into a sitting position and rubbed his eyes, groggily scanning the room for the missing person. But no one was there. Jin lazily edged himself off the bed and stood up for a full stretch. Then his eyes caught a white envelope with his name neatly sprawled on it placed on the side table. He felt his heart skipped a beat as he picked it up and laid it open.
Cautiously he sat back on the bed as he pulled out the letter and slowly reads it.
Dear Jin,
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I can go on and on saying how much I love you.
I love the way you showered Reika with love, I love the way you held her hand tightly and most of all I love the way you love me even though you never said it out aloud.
But fate always has its own way of testing us.
I hope we will meet again.
XOXO
Kamenashi Kazuya
Jin felt his heart bleed at the last sentence as he crumbled the letter tightly in his fist.
**************************
“Where is he?” Jin barged in and shouted as soon as Pi opened the door for him.
“What are you doing” Pi exclaimed as Jin rushed to Kame’s bedroom and kicked the door open.
The room was untouched and everything was left as he remembered. But something was odd as he noticed few books were missing from the shelves and the dressing table was practically empty. Jin ignores Pi’s wailing behind him as he forcefully opened Kame’s wardrobe. It was empty. “He left” Jin slumped himself on Kame’s bed, face palmed.
“Yes he did” Pi replied, leaning on the wardrobe frame.
Jin shook his head in anger “He fucking leave just like that. I should have known he a selfish bastard”
In that instant Pi grabbed Jin by his shirt collar “You have no idea what you are talking about.”
Pi’s angry tone didn’t change Jin’s furious remarks “He’s just like the others. They just leave me when things get tough.”
As soon as he ended his statement, Jin felt a sharp and painful pang hit his cheek. Pi who he never guess as someone violence, had punched directly to his face.
“He loves you dammit. He loves both of you” Pi broke down, as he slides to the floor. “All he did is for you. He even got sacked from his job because of you.”
“What are you talking about?” Jin muttered softly as he sits up right on the bed.
“The school found out about the two of you and decided to let him go. He was devastated but he took it rather calmly. But he will never forgive himself if he’s the reason that took Reika away from you” Pi explained desperately.
“Hold on. What nonsense are you talking about” Jin demanded.
“He’s afraid that Reika’s mother will use him and your sexual preference to take Reika away. Her lawyer had been snooping around the school. That’s why he decided he need to be away” Pi looked up with tears threatening to fall.
“Baka” Jin sobbed quietly, tears streaming down unashamed. “He should have told me and we can work something else.” He felt his palm hurts as his fist in tightly “I haven’t told him how much I love him.”

“Reika, hurry up! Reio Ojisan is here” Jin called from the first floor. “She’s taking longer to dress up lately. Do you think she’s have a boyfriend already?” Jin pouted as he shared his worries with Reio.
The younger guy burst to merry laughter “Oh my god, I know you are a bit possessive, but I didn’t expect it to this extend.”
“Oh shut up. I bet you’ll be just as worried as I am now when little Yuki as old as Reika. By the way, how she’s doing?” Jin took another sipped of the cold lime juice noticing the blissful beam on his brother when he mentioned his 6 months old daughter.
“She’s doing great. She’s learning to crawl now. You should see how Mariko was on the verge of tears when she took her first step” he boasted proudly.
Then hurried footsteps came from the stairs. Reika happily bounced off it with a huge backpack behind her back “I’m ready.”
Jin pulled her ponytail playfully “What took you so long?”
She faked a yelp and pulled her hair away “I was looking for my tuition papers.”
“You are going away for a holiday. Shouldn’t you act like a kid and forget about homework and tuition” Jin smiled adoringly at his precious daughter.
“Well, I cant stay on top if I keep on slacking” she replied smugly.
“Talk like a true Akanishi” Reio interrupted with teasingly.
“Besides, Kay-sensei will be expecting me” Reika added sheepishly avoiding Jin’s eyes as she always did whenever they talked about the mystery tuition teacher which Reika insisted that she met through an online tuition course set by her school.
Jin was worried at first but seeing Reika’s grade always on top, he never raised an issue on the matter.
“So do you have everything in your back pack” Jin squatted to her lever, brushing her hair back.
She cling to him tightly “If only I can fit you in my back pack.”
Jin smiled lovingly and patted her back before pulling away “Now, you be good and do send granpa and grandma my love.”
“Why can’t you join us?” she asked with a pout.
“I can’t right now. I have this huge project to finish up before new year” he lied even though he knew she knows.
“Come Reika, we need to fetch your obasan and cousin first” Reio tried to save Jin from his tight spot.
The little girl hugged Jin again “Promise me the next time I go to visit them you’ll come along.”
“Promise” he nodded arrestingly.
Jin walked the two of them to Reio’s car and helped Reika to her seat “What are you planning to do while I’m away?”
“Oh I’ll think of something” he patted her head one last time before bids them goodbye.
*************************
“You’re late” Jin stated nonchalantly as he took another gulp of the colorful cocktail in his hand.
“I told you I’ll be late” Pi settled in next to Jin. “I’ll have what he’s having” Pi placed his order.
“You are not being creative here” Jin teased.
“I’m not here to impress you” he snapped as he took the glass from the bartender.
Along the lonely years without Kamenashi Kazuya, the odd pair finally found peace and become friends. Sure Pi still riled Jin up especially since he refuse to tell him where’s the other is hiding, but after awhile he finally accepted that fate will find its way again.
“Any news from him?” Jin open the conversation as he always does.
“Yeah. I received a postcard today. He’s doing great” Pi peeked at Jin from his long fringe.
The other guy smile calmly “That’s great.”
They stay in comfort silence, enjoying the jazzy music. The mood was soothing and Jin was finally relaxed. They exchanged stories of their workload and laughed at some silly jokes. Few hours later, the two of them walked out from the club, pretty much somber compared to the other patrons.
“So, are you free this weekend?” Pi asked as they walked towards their car.
“Are you asking me on a date?” Jin teased the other.
“As if” the other jeered at him. Then he sneaked his hand into his inner coat and pulled out a ticket “I got an extra free ticket for this musical play. I heard it’s good.”
Jin took the ticket and read it silently.
TITLE : SERENDIPITY
DATE : 25th December 2013
TIME : 8.30pm - 10.30pm
ATTIRE : Formal
“So are you free or not?” Pi asked again.
“Sure. But if it’s suck, you going to treat me dinner” Jin replied dully before heading to his car.
Pi laughed it out and loudly announced “That’s your Christmas present. And you are the one who’s going to buy me dinner mister.”
***********************
Jin was clad in his best formal shirt and jacket matched with classic denim. Pi insisted him to have a proper jacket on, texting him that he refused to be seen with a sloppy guy. Jin tried to reason out that he doesn’t to dress up to anyone but since the ticket already mentioned formal attire, he finally gave in.
And as soon as he stepped into the grand theater, he glad that he did coz everyone there was clad in something expensive and sparkling.
His phone beeped and Jin quickly fished it out “Where are you? You are late again.”
“Ne, I can’t make it tonight” the other guy’s voice was clear from the receiver.
“Huh?! What do you mean you can’t make it?” Jin barked almost abrasively.
“I mean I won’t be joining you for the show. Something important came up” he answered hesitantly. “Anyway, enjoy the show till the end and tell me all about it later” Pi answered before hang it up.
Jin was still cursing under his breath when he walked towards his seat ‘He’s definitely going to pay for this’ Jin thought to himself grimly. But as soon as the heavy red velvety curtain rose up, Jin was affixed in his seat to the colorful of musical world. The actors were great in portraying their emotions, the musics were powerful and the script was so beautifully written Jin felt himself absorbed into their dazzling little world. Without realizing, his eyes were slightly watery when the stage ends and the hall were filled with abundant clapping hands and standing ovation.
Jin himself was on his feet when the curtain rolled up again showing the whole cast. Then his heart sank to his feet when they called a named he could never forget.
“Scriptwriter, Kamenashi Kazuya” the announcer called and a figure Jin knew so well took a step affront and bowed to the audience.
Jin fell to his seat, feeling his heart going to explode. His hands were shaky when he dialed Pi’s number and spoke into it “Tell me how to get in. I need to see him.”
***********************
Soft knock was heard from the door followed by a soft muffled voice “Sensei.”
“Come in” Kame replied from his seat, trying to remove the excessive make-up the staff had forced onto him.
Then politely one of the staff interrupted “Sensei, this man claimed to know you.”
Kame turned around and waited anxiously till the mentioned guy stepped into his sight. Kame felt his voice were lost as he struggled for the words “I do. You can leave us alone then.”
The guy bowed respectfully, excused himself from the room. As soon as the door was shut, Jin leaned back and securely locked it up.
Kame was rooted on the floor as Jin makes his way towards him “Sorry I didn’t bring any flowers.”
“It’s okay. I’m allergic to pollen” Kame answered briefly.
Jin smile dangerously as he took another step closer “You look great in eyeliner.”
“Oh, its stage stuff” Kame replied with tinted cheeks. “How do you find the show?”
As soon as he was close enough, Jin held Kame by his upper arms. “Enough with the pleasantries” Jin toned suddenly turned grim. “I’ve been through hell for the past two years. I’m not here to discuss stage show.”
“I’m sorry” Kame muttered under his breath.
“I didn’t wait two years just to hear you apologize either” Jin hissed as he gripped Kame’s upper arms till it hurts. “You left me.”
Kame shook his head, teary eyes “I had no other choice. I can’t let them take Reika from you.”
“Baka. You should have told me and we can work it out together. Aren’t lover should stay together even through hard time?” Jin breathed in deeply.
“I was afraid to wish for more” Kame replied with hoarse voice, feeling the huge lump blocking his throat.
“It was much scarier when you left” Jin pulled Kame into his arms, kissing him gently. “I was lost. All I need was you and I still do. Did you ever think of me? You never even called or write to me.”
"I was afraid you already hated me" Kame confessed. "I rather go on without knowing that."
"You are damn selfish. You never even show up once" Jin felt his voice was sharp.
"I was waiting till fate brought us together again" the younger guy looked down.
"Well, I'm here to make my own fate" Jin declared boldly.
Kame buried his face on Jin’s shoulder “I miss you. I miss Reika. I miss everyone.”
Jin’s hand settled on Kame’s back, gently stroking it “I’m here to take you back.”
They stay in comfortable silence letting the overwhelmed feeling engulfed. Another kiss landed on Kame’s eyelids “How’s Reika? She’s top of her class again isn’t she?”
Jin pulled away and stared into the brown orbs he misses so much “Wait a minute. You are Kay-sensei aren’t you?
Kame’s squirmed to his best.
“Oh my god, I’m so going to grounded her till she’s 25” Jin announced with a defensive pout. Kame leaned in and kissed him passionately till the pout resolved into a hearty smile instead.
Jin circled his arms tightly, drawing the smaller guy closer. Their lips crashed as their wild desire being unleashed. Both were groping each other completely letting their guard off. Then to Kame’s surprise Jin pulled away “You have no idea how much I miss you.”
Kame was about to stated the same when Jin put a finger to his lips to shush him up.
“Let me say it. I’ve waited fucking 2 years to say this” Jin insisted. Kame nodded affirmatively. Jin took a deep breath and declared “I love you.”
With that, Kame last defense broke and his tears rolled down fiercely. Jin closed the distance again and kissed his tears “I love you so much.”
“I love you too” Kame finally replied between his sobs.
They stayed in each other arms till the tears stopped. Jin took a seat to let Kame clean himself up and pack his stuff. Few minutes later “Are you ready?”
“Yes, but where are we going?” Kame asked sheepishly.
“Of course back to my place” Jin replied with a wide grin as he tightens his grabbed around Kame’s wrist. “I can’t wait to show you how much I love you.”
Kame turned bright red as Jin dragged him through the busy corridor “But…”
“Nope, no excuse is acceptable this time. Reika’s is away at my parents place and I can have you all to myself. And I plan to have your famous fried rice tomorrow morning” he announced without any hesitation.
Kame smiled to himself and softly muttered “I love you.”
Jin turned around and snaked his arm around the other shoulder and whispered “I love you too sensei.”

“Papa, what’s wrong? Are you waiting for a call?” Reika placed her hand gently on her father’s lap as she snuggled closer. Her father had been staring at his phone for the past hour and she can’t help it feeling slightly worried over it.
Jin shook his head and pulled her tighter. They were sitting in front of the TV watching an old movie, but while Reika returned her attention to the movie, Jin’s mind continued wandering over to a certain sensei he was not able to get through since the day before. “Ne Reika, did Kamenashi sensei mention anything today?”
The little girl looked up and shook her head “He took an emergency leave today. Well, that’s what Kitagawa sensei informed us in class.”
The earlier frown deepens and he quickly snapped open his cell phone. But his action was stalled when the quiet room suddenly fills with the rhythmic door bell.
“I’ll get it” Reika announced eagerly, rushing towards the door.
Jin tightens his fist over the thin phone as he decided to call Kame as soon as he sorted out his unexpected guest. But his eyes widen when he saw the person he had awaited for smiling to his daughter as soon as Reika pulled the door open.
“Sensei” she happily clinging over the guy who was carrying two bags of groceries.
“What a pleasant surprise” Jin tried his best to stay calm even though all he wanted to do was pulled the guy into a tight embrace.
“Do I have tuition today?” Reika quirked her brows questioningly.
“No. I just felt like eating pasta. I heard there’s a great pasta chef here” he smiled sweetly at Jin who was observing the two closely.
Reika grabbed one of the bags and opened it excitedly “Spaghetti!” She skipped happily to the kitchen carrying one of the groceries bag.
Jin took the other bag right after he locked the door “Where have you been?”
“What do you mean” Kame replied nervously, trying to avoid the intense looking eyes.
“I’ve tried to call you since last night” Jin stated firmly just as his hand found its way on Kame’s back. “I was worried that something had happened to you. I even thought of calling Yamashita but then realized I don’t even have his number.”
Kame let out nervous chuckles “You think too much. I’m alright. I have some urgent matter to settle yesterday” Kame replied softly and quickens his strides to the kitchen where Reika had already started sorting out the groceries.
Jin can’t help it feeling complete blissful watching Kame help out in the kitchen wearing an identical apron Reika insisted he buy for the sensei. Reika and Kame were chopping the vegetables while Jin work on the sauce.
“That smell so sweet” Kame came closer and sniffed right behind Jin’s shoulder “Can’t wait to try it.”
“You smell sweet as well. Can I have a taste?” Jin whispered accompanied by his adoring gaze.
Kame blushed furiously and took a step back “Reika, can you lets set up the table. I think it’s about ready.”
“Haik” the little girl jumped from her seat and helped Kame carrying the plates from the cabinet to their dining hall.
While Reika was out of sight, Kame leaned towards Jin and gave him a peck on his already sweaty cheek. Jin felt his face beamed of happiness as he continues stirring the thick spaghetti sauce.
*******************
“That was the best spaghetti I have ever tasted” Kame announced as the three settled in the living hall, sipping their teas.
Jin smiled proudly “I got that all the time.”
Kame replied it with a merry laughter “You should show some modesty here. It’s not good to brag in front of your daughter.”
“But it’s a fact. Right Reika” Jin poked his daughter playfully.
Reika shrieked and tried to free herself “But Papa, you haven’t tried sensei’s fried rice.”
Jin arched his brows amusingly “So, sensei, when are you going to cook your famous fried rice for me?”
“Oh, but I only cook fried rice for breakfast” he smiled innocently.
“Then I guess you have to stay for the night then” Jin replied boldly and watched Kame’s compose face turned bright red again.
The sensei fake a cough before continue “Reika, isn’t it late already.”
The little girl pouted “But I want to stay with sensei a little longer. And tomorrow is Saturday”
Jin stood up “It’s not healthy for a young girl to stay up this late. Now, let me tuck you in.”
“Ano, can I tuck her in tonight” Kame stood up and bow slightly to Jin.
The older guy sensed something was off, but he agreed nonetheless “I’ll wait for you here then.”
Reika happily took her sensei hand and lead Kame to the stairs straight to her room before excusing herself to the toilet.
Kame sat on a small chair next to her bed waiting for the little girl. There was a photo frame with Jin and Reika on the table where Kame picked it up and smiled to it.
“It was taken last year on my birthday” Reika’s soft voice brought Kame back to reality.
“You guys looked so cute” Kame replied before putting down the frame.
The little girl was observing him closely “Sensei, is something wrong? You look different today.”
Kame pursed his lips trying to hold back the tears “I just need a little hug.”
Reika jumped into Kame’s open arms and stayed there firmly. After few minutes, Kame slowly pulled her away and gently placed her on the bed next to him. “Do you have a dream?”
She nodded enthusiastically “I do. I want to be a teacher.”
He circled his arm around the girl “I’m sure you’ll be a great teacher.” Kame paused for awhile, trying to gather his strength “I also have dream. But unfortunately to reach this dream I have to be away from the one that I love.”
“What do you mean?” Reika looked up abruptly with worried written on her beautiful face.
“I can’t be your teacher anymore” he replied under his breath, feeling the burden in his heart.
“No” she jumped off the bed, standing firmly in front of her beloved sensei. Hot tears slowly fall from her big brown eyes “You can’t do that.”
Kame pulled her into another hugged and patted her back “I have to. I want to be someone you and your father will be proud off.”
Soft sobbed escaped her throat as she hide her face on Kame’s shoulder “But we are already proud of you.”
Kame gently stroked her hair, tasting his own salty tears “Don’t worry dear. I will always be your sensei.”
She took awhile to calm down. When she finally pulled away, Kame tucked her in bed and kissed her forehead. “Reika, you are my brightest student and I the sweetest among all. Don’t tell anyone but you are my favorite.”
A small smile crossed her teary face as she snuggled closer.
“If you don’t mind, I would love to continue giving tuition to you” he gently tucked her strands of hair back.
“how?” Reika asked softly. Her voice was slightly hoarse.
Kame smiled softly “But you have to promise you can’t tell your father about it.”
She purses her lips tightly giving a deep thought over it.
***********************
“Hey, what took you so long?” Jin called from the couch as soon as he saw Kame walked down the stairs. “I thought of going up and drag you down if you still don’t show up in 10 more minutes.”
“Don’t tell me you are jealous with your own daughter” Kame teased, making his way next to Jin.
Jin pouted playfully and pulled Kame to his side “She’s been monopolizing you the whole night.”
Kame patted Jin’s head “There, there, I’m yours now.”
“Really” he smirked naughtily; tighten his gripped over the smaller guy.
Kame leaned in and gave a soft peck on Jin’s pointed nose.
“That’s not enough. I need more” Jin whispered seductively.
The younger guy move in even closer and trailed small kisses around Jin’s jaw before meeting his pouty lips. “Will that be okay?”
A pervert smile crossed over his beautiful lips “Nope. Let me show how a real kiss should be like.”
Jin pushed Kame to his back, ignoring the soft surprise grunt from the other. Having Kame under him was enough to arouse him. He felt his desire shoot up greatly as he leaned over his lover, claiming the thin lips as his.
Sensually Jin licked the already read lips, wetting it demanding entrance.
Kame whimpered slightly at the demand but obliged to it as his lips parted to give way to Jin. The older guy kisses him deeply, devouring as much as he can sliding their tongue in rhythmic motion. His hands were all over the place, enjoying his new territory.
When he pulled away, both were panting for air with eyes darken with desire. Jin stood up abruptly and pulled Kame to his feet. He dragged Kame along almost abusively. As soon as they reached Jin’s room, he locked the door and slightly pushed Kame to his bed.
There was a sudden worried flashed over Kame’s face. Jin noticed it but thought Kame was just being shy as he crawled over the guy, leaning down, hovering playfully. Then he felt Kame’s hand on his chest, giving him a little push.
“I don’t think we should” Kame muttered, avoiding the piercing eyes darting through his.
“I disagree” Jin ghostly kissed Kame’s collar bone. He smiled satisfactory as Kame squirmed in defense. He then moved lover, slowly pulling up the thin clothes hiding Kame’s well toned abs. His fingers trailed the soft curves, admiring the strained muscles.
Kame jolted up to a sitting position “I mean, I don’t think we should do it here while Reika is just next door” Kame tried to reason with a forceful kiss. Jin was quite surprise by it and Kame took the opportunity to roll Jin to his back.
But instead of protesting, the older guy gave out a suggestive smile “Well, I would picture me topping but if you insist.”
Kame sighed deeply “Jin I mean it.”
Jin observed Kame intensely before heave heavily and opened his arms “Come here.”
The other hesitated at first unsure whether it’s safe. But seeing the calm smile he had always love appeared, Kame gently settled in Jin’s arms.
“I really do think we should do it already, but I will not push you” Jin secured his embraced around Kame as they snuggled closer.
Kame leaned towards the other and gingerly kiss his lips “I love you.”
“I know” Jin answered softly even though he knew it was not the answer Kame was waiting for. The truth was, he never declared his love to Kame even though deep inside he craved to say it out aloud. He’s afraid of the uncertainty and his dark pass kept on making excuses.
A soft smile presented to him before Kame returned to the earlier position “Do you believe in fate?”
“I do” Jin replied naturally, softly stroking Kame’s arm.
“Well, I believe fate repeat itself all the time until it find the most suitable moment” Kame calmly stated his opinion.
“What do you mean?” Jin asked curiously.
“Well, take us for example. Our fate had brought us together years back. But since the time was not suitable, nothing happened” Kame reminded him of the memories.
“It’s all your friend’s fault. If he’s not so clingy I might make my move back then” Jin whined as he nestled in Kame’s crook of neck.
Kame shook his head “It was just not meant to be back then. Most probably our relationship would not survive the long distant and such. But then we met again.”
“It’s unbelievably great isn’t it? What are the odds for us to meet again under the circumstances?” Jin tightens his hold around Kame’s body.
The other guy nodded gently “Yes, that’s what I meant by fate repeats itself.” A long paused followed before Kame added in “Therefore, if we got separated again, fate will help us to find each other sooner or later.”
“What nonsense you are talking about? I’m not letting fate interrupted us again. I’m not letting you go anywhere out of sight” Jin voiced raised up slightly.
“Jin, do you trust me?” Kame’s voice was so soft; Jin had to squirm just to listen to it.
“Of course I do” Jin pulled Kame into another kiss.
************************
The blinds were not properly shut the night before. End up Jin was woke up with the bright light jerking through it. Soft cursed were uttered as he rolled over to the other side trying to avoid the painful sight. But noticing the empty space and the warm which had left him, Jin open his eyes slowly noticing someone was missing.
He slowly pulled himself into a sitting position and rubbed his eyes, groggily scanning the room for the missing person. But no one was there. Jin lazily edged himself off the bed and stood up for a full stretch. Then his eyes caught a white envelope with his name neatly sprawled on it placed on the side table. He felt his heart skipped a beat as he picked it up and laid it open.
Cautiously he sat back on the bed as he pulled out the letter and slowly reads it.
Dear Jin,
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I can go on and on saying how much I love you.
I love the way you showered Reika with love, I love the way you held her hand tightly and most of all I love the way you love me even though you never said it out aloud.
But fate always has its own way of testing us.
I hope we will meet again.
XOXO
Kamenashi Kazuya
Jin felt his heart bleed at the last sentence as he crumbled the letter tightly in his fist.
**************************
“Where is he?” Jin barged in and shouted as soon as Pi opened the door for him.
“What are you doing” Pi exclaimed as Jin rushed to Kame’s bedroom and kicked the door open.
The room was untouched and everything was left as he remembered. But something was odd as he noticed few books were missing from the shelves and the dressing table was practically empty. Jin ignores Pi’s wailing behind him as he forcefully opened Kame’s wardrobe. It was empty. “He left” Jin slumped himself on Kame’s bed, face palmed.
“Yes he did” Pi replied, leaning on the wardrobe frame.
Jin shook his head in anger “He fucking leave just like that. I should have known he a selfish bastard”
In that instant Pi grabbed Jin by his shirt collar “You have no idea what you are talking about.”
Pi’s angry tone didn’t change Jin’s furious remarks “He’s just like the others. They just leave me when things get tough.”
As soon as he ended his statement, Jin felt a sharp and painful pang hit his cheek. Pi who he never guess as someone violence, had punched directly to his face.
“He loves you dammit. He loves both of you” Pi broke down, as he slides to the floor. “All he did is for you. He even got sacked from his job because of you.”
“What are you talking about?” Jin muttered softly as he sits up right on the bed.
“The school found out about the two of you and decided to let him go. He was devastated but he took it rather calmly. But he will never forgive himself if he’s the reason that took Reika away from you” Pi explained desperately.
“Hold on. What nonsense are you talking about” Jin demanded.
“He’s afraid that Reika’s mother will use him and your sexual preference to take Reika away. Her lawyer had been snooping around the school. That’s why he decided he need to be away” Pi looked up with tears threatening to fall.
“Baka” Jin sobbed quietly, tears streaming down unashamed. “He should have told me and we can work something else.” He felt his palm hurts as his fist in tightly “I haven’t told him how much I love him.”

“Reika, hurry up! Reio Ojisan is here” Jin called from the first floor. “She’s taking longer to dress up lately. Do you think she’s have a boyfriend already?” Jin pouted as he shared his worries with Reio.
The younger guy burst to merry laughter “Oh my god, I know you are a bit possessive, but I didn’t expect it to this extend.”
“Oh shut up. I bet you’ll be just as worried as I am now when little Yuki as old as Reika. By the way, how she’s doing?” Jin took another sipped of the cold lime juice noticing the blissful beam on his brother when he mentioned his 6 months old daughter.
“She’s doing great. She’s learning to crawl now. You should see how Mariko was on the verge of tears when she took her first step” he boasted proudly.
Then hurried footsteps came from the stairs. Reika happily bounced off it with a huge backpack behind her back “I’m ready.”
Jin pulled her ponytail playfully “What took you so long?”
She faked a yelp and pulled her hair away “I was looking for my tuition papers.”
“You are going away for a holiday. Shouldn’t you act like a kid and forget about homework and tuition” Jin smiled adoringly at his precious daughter.
“Well, I cant stay on top if I keep on slacking” she replied smugly.
“Talk like a true Akanishi” Reio interrupted with teasingly.
“Besides, Kay-sensei will be expecting me” Reika added sheepishly avoiding Jin’s eyes as she always did whenever they talked about the mystery tuition teacher which Reika insisted that she met through an online tuition course set by her school.
Jin was worried at first but seeing Reika’s grade always on top, he never raised an issue on the matter.
“So do you have everything in your back pack” Jin squatted to her lever, brushing her hair back.
She cling to him tightly “If only I can fit you in my back pack.”
Jin smiled lovingly and patted her back before pulling away “Now, you be good and do send granpa and grandma my love.”
“Why can’t you join us?” she asked with a pout.
“I can’t right now. I have this huge project to finish up before new year” he lied even though he knew she knows.
“Come Reika, we need to fetch your obasan and cousin first” Reio tried to save Jin from his tight spot.
The little girl hugged Jin again “Promise me the next time I go to visit them you’ll come along.”
“Promise” he nodded arrestingly.
Jin walked the two of them to Reio’s car and helped Reika to her seat “What are you planning to do while I’m away?”
“Oh I’ll think of something” he patted her head one last time before bids them goodbye.
*************************
“You’re late” Jin stated nonchalantly as he took another gulp of the colorful cocktail in his hand.
“I told you I’ll be late” Pi settled in next to Jin. “I’ll have what he’s having” Pi placed his order.
“You are not being creative here” Jin teased.
“I’m not here to impress you” he snapped as he took the glass from the bartender.
Along the lonely years without Kamenashi Kazuya, the odd pair finally found peace and become friends. Sure Pi still riled Jin up especially since he refuse to tell him where’s the other is hiding, but after awhile he finally accepted that fate will find its way again.
“Any news from him?” Jin open the conversation as he always does.
“Yeah. I received a postcard today. He’s doing great” Pi peeked at Jin from his long fringe.
The other guy smile calmly “That’s great.”
They stay in comfort silence, enjoying the jazzy music. The mood was soothing and Jin was finally relaxed. They exchanged stories of their workload and laughed at some silly jokes. Few hours later, the two of them walked out from the club, pretty much somber compared to the other patrons.
“So, are you free this weekend?” Pi asked as they walked towards their car.
“Are you asking me on a date?” Jin teased the other.
“As if” the other jeered at him. Then he sneaked his hand into his inner coat and pulled out a ticket “I got an extra free ticket for this musical play. I heard it’s good.”
Jin took the ticket and read it silently.
TITLE : SERENDIPITY
DATE : 25th December 2013
TIME : 8.30pm - 10.30pm
ATTIRE : Formal
“So are you free or not?” Pi asked again.
“Sure. But if it’s suck, you going to treat me dinner” Jin replied dully before heading to his car.
Pi laughed it out and loudly announced “That’s your Christmas present. And you are the one who’s going to buy me dinner mister.”
***********************
Jin was clad in his best formal shirt and jacket matched with classic denim. Pi insisted him to have a proper jacket on, texting him that he refused to be seen with a sloppy guy. Jin tried to reason out that he doesn’t to dress up to anyone but since the ticket already mentioned formal attire, he finally gave in.
And as soon as he stepped into the grand theater, he glad that he did coz everyone there was clad in something expensive and sparkling.
His phone beeped and Jin quickly fished it out “Where are you? You are late again.”
“Ne, I can’t make it tonight” the other guy’s voice was clear from the receiver.
“Huh?! What do you mean you can’t make it?” Jin barked almost abrasively.
“I mean I won’t be joining you for the show. Something important came up” he answered hesitantly. “Anyway, enjoy the show till the end and tell me all about it later” Pi answered before hang it up.
Jin was still cursing under his breath when he walked towards his seat ‘He’s definitely going to pay for this’ Jin thought to himself grimly. But as soon as the heavy red velvety curtain rose up, Jin was affixed in his seat to the colorful of musical world. The actors were great in portraying their emotions, the musics were powerful and the script was so beautifully written Jin felt himself absorbed into their dazzling little world. Without realizing, his eyes were slightly watery when the stage ends and the hall were filled with abundant clapping hands and standing ovation.
Jin himself was on his feet when the curtain rolled up again showing the whole cast. Then his heart sank to his feet when they called a named he could never forget.
“Scriptwriter, Kamenashi Kazuya” the announcer called and a figure Jin knew so well took a step affront and bowed to the audience.
Jin fell to his seat, feeling his heart going to explode. His hands were shaky when he dialed Pi’s number and spoke into it “Tell me how to get in. I need to see him.”
***********************
Soft knock was heard from the door followed by a soft muffled voice “Sensei.”
“Come in” Kame replied from his seat, trying to remove the excessive make-up the staff had forced onto him.
Then politely one of the staff interrupted “Sensei, this man claimed to know you.”
Kame turned around and waited anxiously till the mentioned guy stepped into his sight. Kame felt his voice were lost as he struggled for the words “I do. You can leave us alone then.”
The guy bowed respectfully, excused himself from the room. As soon as the door was shut, Jin leaned back and securely locked it up.
Kame was rooted on the floor as Jin makes his way towards him “Sorry I didn’t bring any flowers.”
“It’s okay. I’m allergic to pollen” Kame answered briefly.
Jin smile dangerously as he took another step closer “You look great in eyeliner.”
“Oh, its stage stuff” Kame replied with tinted cheeks. “How do you find the show?”
As soon as he was close enough, Jin held Kame by his upper arms. “Enough with the pleasantries” Jin toned suddenly turned grim. “I’ve been through hell for the past two years. I’m not here to discuss stage show.”
“I’m sorry” Kame muttered under his breath.
“I didn’t wait two years just to hear you apologize either” Jin hissed as he gripped Kame’s upper arms till it hurts. “You left me.”
Kame shook his head, teary eyes “I had no other choice. I can’t let them take Reika from you.”
“Baka. You should have told me and we can work it out together. Aren’t lover should stay together even through hard time?” Jin breathed in deeply.
“I was afraid to wish for more” Kame replied with hoarse voice, feeling the huge lump blocking his throat.
“It was much scarier when you left” Jin pulled Kame into his arms, kissing him gently. “I was lost. All I need was you and I still do. Did you ever think of me? You never even called or write to me.”
"I was afraid you already hated me" Kame confessed. "I rather go on without knowing that."
"You are damn selfish. You never even show up once" Jin felt his voice was sharp.
"I was waiting till fate brought us together again" the younger guy looked down.
"Well, I'm here to make my own fate" Jin declared boldly.
Kame buried his face on Jin’s shoulder “I miss you. I miss Reika. I miss everyone.”
Jin’s hand settled on Kame’s back, gently stroking it “I’m here to take you back.”
They stay in comfortable silence letting the overwhelmed feeling engulfed. Another kiss landed on Kame’s eyelids “How’s Reika? She’s top of her class again isn’t she?”
Jin pulled away and stared into the brown orbs he misses so much “Wait a minute. You are Kay-sensei aren’t you?
Kame’s squirmed to his best.
“Oh my god, I’m so going to grounded her till she’s 25” Jin announced with a defensive pout. Kame leaned in and kissed him passionately till the pout resolved into a hearty smile instead.
Jin circled his arms tightly, drawing the smaller guy closer. Their lips crashed as their wild desire being unleashed. Both were groping each other completely letting their guard off. Then to Kame’s surprise Jin pulled away “You have no idea how much I miss you.”
Kame was about to stated the same when Jin put a finger to his lips to shush him up.
“Let me say it. I’ve waited fucking 2 years to say this” Jin insisted. Kame nodded affirmatively. Jin took a deep breath and declared “I love you.”
With that, Kame last defense broke and his tears rolled down fiercely. Jin closed the distance again and kissed his tears “I love you so much.”
“I love you too” Kame finally replied between his sobs.
They stayed in each other arms till the tears stopped. Jin took a seat to let Kame clean himself up and pack his stuff. Few minutes later “Are you ready?”
“Yes, but where are we going?” Kame asked sheepishly.
“Of course back to my place” Jin replied with a wide grin as he tightens his grabbed around Kame’s wrist. “I can’t wait to show you how much I love you.”
Kame turned bright red as Jin dragged him through the busy corridor “But…”
“Nope, no excuse is acceptable this time. Reika’s is away at my parents place and I can have you all to myself. And I plan to have your famous fried rice tomorrow morning” he announced without any hesitation.
Kame smiled to himself and softly muttered “I love you.”
Jin turned around and snaked his arm around the other shoulder and whispered “I love you too sensei.”
