Troublemaker - Weezer

All the Usamis are difficult people - it’s practically how they make their living. They’re all intelligent, stubborn and well and truly spoilt. Most have an edge of almost malicious cunning, and Akihiko is no different.

He knows what he wants, and has a vague sense of what he requires, and it’s a simple case of getting it ( Read more... )

For once, Usagi-san is feeling festive. And a festive Usagi-san means Christmas Day is easy for once. There are still a few errant gropings, but Misaki gets through the day mostly unmolested, until the evening. From seven onwards, Misaki doesn’t see anything but the ceiling of the bedroom and stars.

The next day he ( Read more... )

Some people just don’t understand the concept of a lie-in. Akihiko regrets to find that Misaki is one of them. No matter if it’s a school day, weekend or a holiday; Misaki cannot stay in bed later than eleven without becoming massively fidgety. Akihiko compensates by keeping the student up as late at night as possible.

This morning is no ( Read more... )

Work is almost half of Takahashi Takahiro’s life. He seems to spend far too much time in his office, or travelling back and forth on the train. It’s tiring and frustrating, but he needs to do the work. He has his little brother to support, never mind himself, and while Misaki clearly tries to be as low maintenance as possible, he’s actually quite ( Read more... )

University turns out to be easy enough. Akihiko sails through his first year, passes all his exams and eases into his summer holidays gladly. He’s tired of having to wake up before noon every day, and he’s tired of having to deal with his course mates. They’re pleasant enough, but a man can only take so much prattled gossip before he wants to gouge ( Read more... )

The apartment is huge and cold and quiet.

“Just like home!” Akihiko says to himself as he drops his bags to the floor. There’s no furniture in the penthouse, no carpeting, not even any lights. The block is only just opened, and now Akihiko is the proud, if a little bit out of his depth, owner of a multimillion dollar home. He’s wiped out one ( Read more... )

It’s cold and wet and windy, but Akihiko braves the weather anyway, because he’s desperately in need of a nicotine fix, and he’s run out of cigarettes.

This is the third time this week too, which he supposes is a bad sign. How many seventeen year olds have a twenty a day habit?

He’s meant to be up in his room studying, for university ( Read more... )

Akihiko has long since decided his father, although completely useless, is probably mostly blameless as well. He tries, on occasion, to make his sons happy and never seems to understand why he fails every single time. Akihiko’s not brilliant with people either, but he’s still well aware you need to do things they want rather than what you like in ( Read more... )
