Chemical Compositions for your Love
~~~~~
CHAPTER 3
I t had been a week since Kei broke up with Marianne. And he is still living in Yabu’s place. The best part? He can go out with Yabu when he’s bored. And, Yabu didn’t mind at all. Just like now, they’re doing their groceries.
“Good thing you still let me stay with you even if Marianne and I already broke up.” He said. “Thanks.”
“No problem. When you feel like leaving, go ahead.”
He just laughed. “You’re so cute. That makes me wonder why you still haven’t gotten yourself a girlfriend.”
Yabu threw the soap into the grocery basket. “I’m dating.”
“I’m not asking about that. So, why is it? We are friends for so long but you still don’t talk with me about your girlfriend.”
“I didn’t think it’s my obligation to talk with you about my girlfriend.”
“So, you did have one.”
“No.”
“You really are a complicated person to talk with.” He looked at him from head to foot. “You don’t look like a gay.”
“Thank you.”
He just sighed. “You really won’t give me an access in your love life? That’s unfair. I talk my love life with you even in its smallest details.”
“Yeah, and I’m really tired of hearing it all.”
“That’s why you should talk with me about yours. Promise, I won’t laugh over your stupidities and mistakes.”
“I’d rather keep it to myself.”
“You should share it with me. Who knows? I could give you pieces of advice.”
“If I want tips and pieces of advices on relationships, I surely wouldn’t want to get them from you.”
The smile on his lips vanished. He wanted to walk away from him. But his eyes just focused on the products in front of him. He wants to let Yabu know that what he said hurt him. But it seems like he got it.
“Where are you going?” Yabu asked.
“I’ll have a suicide.”
He heard him chuckle. “I’m sorry. That was un-called for.”
“Okay, just laugh on me, Yabu. Karma will come to you.”
“I know how you feel, Kei,” Yabu whispered. “Because I’ve felt that way a long time ago.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
But when he looked at him, he saw the little emotion that flooded into Yabu’s handsome face.
There it was again. That “something” he saw a few weeks ago, when he first held his arm. He just diverted his attention to his grocery basket.
“Do you really need all this stuff?”, Yabu asked.
“Of course.” He answered. He wanted to ask what he was thinking just a moment ago. But knowing Yabu and his very secretive personality, he can’t take even a single answer from him.
“You’re like a girl. Do you know that?”
“Nope. Why?”
“You buy so many stuffs that are not needed.”
“I need all these stuffs.”
“Whatever.”
He was laughing while he followed him to the vegetables section. “Are those for your miracle drinks?”
“Just pay attention to what you are buying.”
“Don’t want to. It makes me lazy. You’re not here anymore.” He peeked over his shoulders. “What’s that?”
“Vegetables.”
“I know! I am asking what kind.” Damn, he smelled so heavenly! But Yabu suddenly stood up. “Aw!”
“Yabu put the vegetable in an instant and turned to him. “What were you doing in my back?” He touched his chin. “Let me take a look.”
He pouted his lips. Yabu looked at him with a knotted forehead and a smile. He wants to sigh because if he looks cute when he’s serious, but he’s one hell of a handsome guy when he smiles.
“You need to always smile, Yabu.” He suggested.
“What for?”
“Nothing.”
“You find me attractive, is that it?”
Kei was surprised, he couldn’t even utter a word. Is that the reason of his impression on Yabu? That he’s attracted to him? That’s not impossible, much more that he used to have a big crush on this guy. But that was a long time ago and they were friends now. He was used to liking his looks he never thought he would directly ask him about it.
He took off his glasses and put it on him. Then, looked at Yabu. “Hmm.. Yeah, you’re really handsome.” Oops. Wrong move. Because he looked way more handsome now without his glasses.
His tongue was stuck again when Yabu smiled. His mind went haywire, especially since there was something in his smile that told him he had found out something important to him. Did he already found out that he’s thinking how attractive he is?
“That couple looks so cute.”
“I hope my idiot boyfriend will be as sweet as that guy.”
“I hope I’ll have a boyfriend as handsome as him!”
They both looked at the younger girls who were talking. Then they looked at each other saying, “Do we look like lovers?”
“Uhm.. I’ll go to the counter first.” Kei said.
Yabu just nodded.
As he was walking to the counter, he was thinking about the thing that just happened. Why was Yabu acting that way? Did something just happened?
As he was in his deep thoughts, he accidentally bumped into a guy. “Oh, sorry!”
“It’s okay.” The guy answered with a smile. “You go first.”
“Thanks.”
Something happened? What was that? Why I didn’t know about it?
But for all those questions in his mind, Yabu’s smiling and handsome face will just pop in his thought. Like his handsome face was answer enough.
He was surprised when the guy whom he accidentally bumped is now putting his things on the counter. It’s his turn to pay.
“S-sorry..”
“It’s okay..” the guy answered with smile again. “The person you’re thinking right now is so lucky.”
“H-ha?” His eyes immediately went to the vegetables section where Yabu is. He was talking to a beautiful woman. “No. I’m not thinking about someone.”
He doesn’t know why but his heart suddenly felt irritated seeing Yabu talking with someone else. And the idiot, it seems like he’s enjoying it very much! Argh!
“Sir?”
He looked at the cashier. When he saw how much he would pay, he instantly gave the money.
The nice guy who had been helping him out picked up his grocery bag. “I’ll help you bring these..” he offered.
“Thanks.”
“Are you with someone else?”
He looked at Yabu’s direction again. He was looking at him but he’s still talking with the woman.
“No”, he answered. “I’m all alone.”
“That’s nice. By the way, I’m Sato Takeru.”
He smiled to him. “Kei Inoo.”
You’re not the only one who had known other person today, Yabu. Bleh!
~~~~~
It was still early in the morning when Kei knocked furiously on Yabu’s door. He didn’t go home to Yabu’s place yesterday because he stayed at his Mom’s.
“Open up, Yabu! I need to talk to you!”
The door opened and Yabu was obviously just woken up.
How come he always looked good even with his hair tousled, evening pajamas and still drowsy eyes?
“Kei, what the heck are you doing? Do you know what time it is?”
“It’s you!”
“Me what?”
“You! You are the only reason why I lost attention to Takeru. I couldn’t focus on him when we’re on a date, even if I know I’m attracted to him. And, I lost attention to all the girls too. Things are getting worse and I’m not liking it one bit.”
“What’s that got to do with me?”
“Because!” he didn’t know what to say to him. There are many things he had to say but he was just too distracted with Yabu’s boyishly handsome face for such an early morning. And why was it that he looked even better with his knotted forehead in the morning?
This is insane! Focus, Kei.
“Anyway, now I know what we should do, Yabu.”
“We?”
“You and I have to start seeing less of each other.”
“Okay, let’s start now.” Then Yabu closed the door.
But he didn’t give up and knocked furiously on the door again. Yabu opened the door. He immediately went inside.
“Please don’t tell me you’re still blaming me for your crappy love life, Kei.”
“How can I not blame you when it is all your fault? You are the reason I lost interest dating.” He somehow managed to get Yabu’s attention. “I’m putting a moratorium on us, because if I’m having fun with you, there is no room in my life to be having fun with someone else.”
“Who is this person you want to have fun with?”
“The person I could be having fun with if I weren’t having fun with you.”
“I’m not having fun. Are you having fun?”
That’s the problem. Because he’s happy every time he’s with him.
“No,” he denied.
“Then I guess we’ve achieved our goal.”
Yabu walked to the kitchen. He followed. This really had to stop.
“Yabu, look. I can’t handle anything like this. I mean, it’s just too weird not feeling anything at all for the person I know I like. Because I kept thinking about… you. I don’t know when this started to happen.”
“Why are you thinking of me?”
“I don’t know!” This was really very awkward.
Why was he comparing Takeru with Yabu? And every time he did, it was always Yabu who got the bigger advantage. He was nicer, more intelligent, and more handsome.
“That shouldn’t have happened. I mean, we’re best friends.”
“We’re not best friends.”
“See that? I should get angry to you because every time I said we’re best friends, you always oppose to it. But why can’t I get angry to you? Because I’m so used to having you in my life, by my side, that I can ignore even your darkest personality.”
“This seems like a confession to me.” Yabu get a bottled water. When he looked at him, he noticed that he was trying to hold his smile. “Let me get this straight, you lost attention to have a date with others because you are always thinking of me?”
He was so embarrassed he couldn’t even give him a verbal answer.
“And you like us to stop seeing each other so that you can have your interest back to them?”
Still, he couldn’t answer. And Yabu took it as a “yes”.
“Fine.” Yabu agreed.
He agreed? Who said anything about not seeing each other? And now that he thought about all this, he badly want to have back what he said to him.
We can’t see each other every day? That means we can’t have buying our groceries together? Or having our shopping together so that Yabu can loosen up? And I can’t get to see his handsome face smiling only at me? Like now.
“Forget what I said, I was just sick.”
“You’re sick?”
It was too late to move away. Yabu is now at his side, hands on his forehead. He smelled Yabu’s seductive scent again. Then, his heart went wild.
He moved away immediately. “I’m fine. Is there anything to eat in your kitchen? I’m hungry.”
Darn it! What was with these palpitations in his heart?
“I don’t have any food here. Eat your breakfast in your house, or just eat to some restaurants.”
“I’m feeling lazy today.” He opened the refrigerator. “Vegetable juice, vegetable juice, and look, more vegetable juice! I think this is enough. I’m on diet too.” He picked up a glass on the kitchen counter. He heard a woman’s voice nearby. “Who was that?”
“Ahm-“
“Your neighbor?” He poured vegetable juice on his glass and drank it. It tasted great. “What was that? Your neighbor is so noisy.”
“Yabu?”
Kei almost let go the glass he was holding when a woman appeared on the door’s kitchen. Wearing Yabu’s over-sized polo. And he knew the girl. She was the one Yabu talked with when they had their grocery.
She just woke up!
He doesn’t have to guess what they were doing.
“Yabu, you’re just here.” The woman looked at him. “Oh! It’s so early to have a guest.”
He suddenly felt so sick. And it had nothing to do with that vegetable drink he just had. He went out in the house immediately. He knew what he wanted to know a part of his private life but not his private. And heck! He hated to know that he had this kind of private life. With that woman!
“Kei!” Yabu called him.
They are now already outside the house. “What?”
“I thought you liked to have breakfast?”
“I lost my appetite. And, I don’t want to disturb you and your woman.”
“Hey, what’s with that tone?”
“What’s with my tone?”
“Are you angry?”
He didn’t know why but he was frustrated. “Why is that woman there in your house? Why didn’t the both of you made “that” in other place? There are many hotels everywhere. And, why that girl? You just met her a few days ago in the grocery store!”
“What’s with you?” He may not be shouting like he did, but the knot on his forehead was enough to know he was in a bad mood as well. And he was not about to back down. “Didn’t you just met Takeru a few days ago too? And in the grocery store too?”
“That was different!”
“For what reason?”
“I didn’t have sex with him!”
~~~~~
“Oh. It’s unusual for you to stay in the house.”
“Good morning, Mom.”
“Kei, Yabu’s mom is here.” His mother said.
“I don’t have anything to do in the house so I paid a visit here.” Then she smiled widely. “You’re so pretty, Kei. Yabu and you aren’t still dating? I heard you stayed in his house.”
“I agree,” his mom added. “Isn’t there anything good happening between you two?”
“When will both of you accept the fact that Yabu and I will not be lovers?”
“If both of you are going to have a steady relationships,” his mom said.
“Okay, just so you know, that dream of yours will not come true. Because that guy is already sleeping with another woman.”
Both of them were surprised, looked at each other and smiled.
“Yabu’s a healthy young man. It’s just natural for him, and for you as well. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to marry that woman..” his mom explained.
“That’s why, don’t be jealous. I know my son.,” Yabu’s mom added.
“I’m not jealous!” he said. “And guess what? He doesn’t love me.”
“Well, you never know,” Yabu’s mom said mysteriously.
“Know what?”
“Have you ever asked him if he already loves someone else and who that person is?”
“Why should I do that?”
“Because you might like his answer,”
“Did the two of you just quarreled? Yabu looked like that too when he went home to have dinner with us.”
“Kei, did you say something about my son sleeping with a woman? Did you caught him? You both quarreled because of that?” his mom asked.
“Oh, jealousy,” Yabu’s mom said again. “The sign of true love.”
Jealousy? He was jealous? No. He was just upset that he had a woman in his house. That they had spent the night together; and that he was having a hard time focusing his attention to his dates because he was always thinking of him, the other guy was just having a great time with that woman!
“Look. You son’s convincing his self he’s not in love with my son.
“Will the two of you just stop? I am not in love with him and he’s not in love with me.”
“If that’s true, then why are you acting like you two are having a lovers’ quarrel?”
“No, we’re not. I am mad at him that’s why I’m acting like this.”
“Kei, that’s the evil green monster named ‘jealousy’,” his mom interrupted.
“I said I am not jealous!”
Both of them just smiled.
He gave up. “I don’t care about what the two of you are thinking.”
“Okay. You’re not jealous. But let me ask you. If my son is not your best friend, will you like him?”
He was surprised.
Would I like Yabu more than a friend if we were not the best of friends?
If that was the case, was that the reason why he kept on denying their friendship? Because they can’t have a different relationship if he keeps on insisting that they are best friends?
You look like a fool, Kei. Of course Yabu won’t think like that. He’s such a cold person after all.
It was way too ridiculous. He was just so annoying that he kept on brushing him off as his best friend. That was just it. Nothing more.
“Kei, do you like my son?”
“Yes, in fact, I’m going to call him up and tell him about this weird implication of yours on the two of us.”
“When will you take us seriously?” his mom asked.
“Sooner or later, you’ll have to face the fact that the reason you couldn’t stay in a relationship is because you’re in love with my son. And that the two of you are not meant to be just best friends,”
I’m in love with Yabu? No way! He’s my best friend.
Only if he could just stop thinking of him in a way that a best friend shouldn’t think about his best friend.

He didn’t know why but he was frustrated. “Why is that woman there in your house? Why didn’t the both of you made “that” in other place? There are many hotels everywhere. And, why that girl? You just met her a few days ago in the grocery store!”
“What’s with you?” He may not be shouting like he did, but the knot on his forehead was enough to know he was in a bad mood as well. And he was not about to back down. “Didn’t you just met Takeru a few days ago too? And in the grocery store too?”
“That was different!”
“For what reason?”
“I didn’t have sex with him!”

“Oh. It’s unusual for you to stay in the house.”
“Good morning, Mom.”
“Kei, Yabu’s mom is here.” His mother said.
“I don’t have anything to do in the house so I paid a visit here.” Then she smiled widely. “You’re so pretty, Kei. Yabu and you aren’t still dating? I heard you stayed in his house.”
“I agree,” his mom added. “Isn’t there anything good happening between you two?”
“When will both of you accept the fact that Yabu and I will not be lovers?”
“If both of you are going to have a steady relationships,” his mom said.
“Okay, just so you know, that dream of yours will not come true. Because that guy is already sleeping with another woman.”
Both of them were surprised, looked at each other and smiled.
“Yabu’s a healthy young man. It’s just natural for him, and for you as well. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to marry that woman..” his mom explained.
“That’s why, don’t be jealous. I know my son.,” Yabu’s mom added.
“I’m not jealous!” he said. “And guess what? He doesn’t love me.”
“Well, you never know,” Yabu’s mom said mysteriously.
“Know what?”
“Have you ever asked him if he already loves someone else and who that person is?”
“Why should I do that?”
“Because you might like his answer,”
“Did the two of you just quarreled? Yabu looked like that too when he went home to have dinner with us.”
“Kei, did you say something about my son sleeping with a woman? Did you caught him? You both quarreled because of that?” his mom asked.
“Oh, jealousy,” Yabu’s mom said again. “The sign of true love.”
Jealousy? He was jealous? No. He was just upset that he had a woman in his house. That they had spent the night together; and that he was having a hard time focusing his attention to his dates because he was always thinking of him, the other guy was just having a great time with that woman!
“Look. You son’s convincing his self he’s not in love with my son.
“Will the two of you just stop? I am not in love with him and he’s not in love with me.”
“If that’s true, then why are you acting like you two are having a lovers’ quarrel?”
“No, we’re not. I am mad at him that’s why I’m acting like this.”
“Kei, that’s the evil green monster named ‘jealousy’,” his mom interrupted.
“I said I am not jealous!”
Both of them just smiled.
He gave up. “I don’t care about what the two of you are thinking.”
“Okay. You’re not jealous. But let me ask you. If my son is not your best friend, will you like him?”
He was surprised.
Would I like Yabu more than a friend if we were not the best of friends?
If that was the case, was that the reason why he kept on denying their friendship? Because they can’t have a different relationship if he keeps on insisting that they are best friends?
You look like a fool, Kei. Of course Yabu won’t think like that. He’s such a cold person after all.
It was way too ridiculous. He was just so annoying that he kept on brushing him off as his best friend. That was just it. Nothing more.
“Kei, do you like my son?”
“Yes, in fact, I’m going to call him up and tell him about this weird implication of yours on the two of us.”
“When will you take us seriously?” his mom asked.
“Sooner or later, you’ll have to face the fact that the reason you couldn’t stay in a relationship is because you’re in love with my son. And that the two of you are not meant to be just best friends,”
I’m in love with Yabu? No way! He’s my best friend.
Only if he could just stop thinking of him in a way that a best friend shouldn’t think about his best friend.
