"Do you really need all of these, Dai-chan?" Inoo asked, looking at all the things Daiki had packed. He took Daiki's luggage. "Nintendo DS, PSP, Xbox...THESE ARE ALL GAMES!"
"It's the holiday," said Daiki.
"And where are your clothes?" Inoo raised his eyebrow.
"Uhm," Daiki said, "T-There?" he pointed at his sling bag.
"Keep these things back!" Inoo instructed.
"But..." Daiki looked at Inoo with puppy eyes.
"Keep it!"
"But I want to..." he squeaked.
"Keep it or else!"
"Alright, alright," Daiki grumbled.
Inoo smirked. He knew Daiki would always listen to him. He patted Daiki's head. "That's a good boy."
"Inoo, I know you miss your dogs, but I'm not them."
Inoo chuckled. "But seriously, we're spending winter at Takaki's," he said. "You know how much video games Takaki has, don't you?"
"Hmmm~" Daiki puffed his cheeks.
"Listen, I heard, Takaki has just bought the newest gadget on sale," Inoo said. "And he's sure to let you play all you want later."
"You're right!" Both friends laughed. After a few minutes of silence, Daiki asked, "I wonder if Yamada-san and Okamoto-san accepted akaki's invitation."
Inoo looked at Daiki surprised. "What?"
"Didn't you know? Hikaru asked Takaki to invite Okamoto-san as well," Daiki said. "And of course Takaki would comply. I mean, if Okamoto-san doesn't go then Yamada-san wouldn't go." Finally, Daiki noticed how silent Inoo was. "Ano...did I say something wrong?"
Inoo shook his head. "Iie," he said. He stood up. "I think I'm going to take a walk."
"But..." bDaiki could finish what he was about to say, the door closed. "O-kay," Daiki said to himself. "I guess I shouldn't mention about Okamoto-san."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Please, please, please, my English boy!" Hikaru begged. He was on the floor, his hands around Keito's legs.
"What the hell-...Yaotome-san!" Keito tried to yank his legs out of Hikaru's clutches. "What are you doing?!" Keito was about to wet out of the room when Hikaru suddenly clings on his legs like there's no tromorrow. "Let go of my legs!"
"NOO!!!" Hikaru hugged Keito's legs tighter. "Not until you agree to spend winter holiday at Takaki's place!"
"And why would I do that?" Keito raised his eyebrow.
"Because I'll be going!"
"That adds to the cons of going!" Keito retorted.
"WHATEVER IT IS I WON'T LET GO OF YOU UNTIL YOU AGREE!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO I SAY! NEVER!!!"
"I NEED TO GET TO CLASS!!!"
"THEN AGREE TO IT ALREADY!!!"
"NO!!!" Keito's voice boomed.
"THEN I'LL NEVER EVER EVER LET GO!!!!" Hikaru held on to Keito's legs as if his life depended on it.
Tired of this childish game, Keito tried to walk away but he tripped, causing him to fall on top of Hikaru. A visible blush could be seen on Keito's face. He could feel Hikaru's breath on his neck. "Too...close," Keito said softly, dazed. For some reason, his heart beat fast, his face moved closer and closer towards Hikaru.
"Keito..."
Their lips were about to meet when a loud knock was heard. Keito quickly scrambled away from Hikaru. He immediately stood up, straightening his clothes. He glared at Hikaru, his face still scarlet. "Don't EVER mention this to ANYONE!" he hissed.
"What's in it for me?" Hikaru teased.
Keito just huffed as he wet to the door. He opened it, said a quickly reply when Inoo greeted him 'good morning', and ran off. Inoo entered the room, giving Hikaru a raised eyebrow when he saw his best friend on the floor.
"What are you doing?"
Hikaru glared. "You're so good at choosing your timing, don't you?" he said sarcastically.
"Fine!" Inoo puffed his cheeks and went out of the room, slamming the door shut.
Hikaru looked at the slammed door with a 'WTF' 'WTH' expression. "Is he having his period or something?!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Takaki hummed, his towel around his waist. He had just finished taking a shower. After drying his hair for about ten minutes, and giving his hair some last touch-ups, he exited the bathroom. The scene that met him when he opened the door caused him too....
"HOLY SH*T, WHAT THE HELL?!" Takaki yelled from the bathroom's doorway. From there, you could see Yabu's bed perfectly clear.
Shoon immediately jumped off Yabu as Yabu covered himself with his comforter. Yabu looked at Takaki. "TAKAKI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Takaki yelled, "THIS IS MY ROOM TOO!"
"BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT!"
"I WAS TAKING A BATH!"
Shoon, who had covered his ears, decided to interfere. "BOTH OF YOU! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT!"
Yabu and Takaki looked at Shoon, then they looked at one another. Takaki raised his eyebrow at Yabu. "Okay, Iinchou, I'm not gonna ask," he turned to Shoon. "Both of you are so perverted!"
"You're one to talk!" Yabu retorted.
Shoon knew this wouldn't stop anytime soon, so he walked towards Takaki's closet, took a pair of clothes, and threw it at the younger man. "Get dressed and get out!"
"Fine, fine, Mr. Grumpy," Takaki caught the clothes, and re-enter the bathroom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, sorry I'm late," said Keito as soon as he arrived on the rooftop.
"Daijoubu," Yamada replied. Keito sat next to Yamada, his back against the fence. "So, what are we going to do about the holiday?"
Keito looked at Yamada. "What about it?"
"Are we staying here, or will we be returning to London?"
Keito shrugged. "Otou-san didn't say anything to me, so I guess we'll be staying here?"
"Do you think we should accept Takaki invitation?" Yamada played with his fingers. Keito stared at Yamada's face for awhile before bursting into laughter. "What?" Yamada looked at his cousin.
"Your face," he said in between laughter. "I saw..a tint of blush on your cheeks!"
"W-What are you talking about?" Yamada spluttered.
Keito looked at the sky. "You've changed, Ryo-chan," he said. Yamada stared at his cousin. "You are somewhat...more open now, to others, although you didn't realize it."
"Speak for yourself," Yamada smirked.
"Ehhh?"
"You seemed to loosen up around Yaotome these days."
"Hnn~" Keito said. They looked at the sky again. A few minutes later, they looked at one another at the same time.
"Maybe we should give it a chance."
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt to give it a try, ne?" Keito shrugged.
"Yeah," Yamada added in.
"Yeah," they said again. More like, they were trying to reassure themselves.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Uhm...Chinen?"
Chinen's ears perked up like a cat when he heard his name being called. He gasped, looking at his roommate.
Yamada looked at Chinen weirdly. "What?"
"You started a conversation with me..."
Yamada stared at Chinen. "So what?"
"You never starts the conversation before." Yamada just shrugged. Chinen went off his bed and sat on Yamada's bed. "So, what is it?"
"Uh...can you tell me more about Takaki?" Yamada said softly, looking at his hands on his laps.
"What was that?" Chinen smirked, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. Chinen had actually heard what Yamada said, but it's fun to tease the embarrassed teen.
Yamada looked away. "It's nothing."
Chinen laughed. "Yuuyan...he's a very nice guy. Although he loves to goof around, but Yuuyan cares for his friends very much." Chinen looked at Yamada. "Yama-chan, do you know Dai-chan?"
"Arioka-kun?"
Chinen nodded his head. "You see, Dai-chan comes from the orphanage. He and Yuuyan had become best friends since junior school. Yuuyan noticed how good Dai-chan is with the clarinet, he asked his mom to sponsors Dai-chan. But of course, Dai-chan hates taking things for granted, so he works at the resort belonged to the Takaki family during the summer."
'I never knew Takaki was..."
"Yama-chan?" Chinen said, breaking Yamada's thought.
"Yea?"
"You were in a daze? Were you thinking of Yuuyan?" Chinen smirked.
Yamada turned scarlet. "I-I...I-..." but nothing came out. As a result, Yamada throw a pillow at Chinen.
Chinen caught the pillow in his hand. "Oho! This is how you want to play it, huh?" He held the pillow up.
Yamada smirked. "Bring it on."
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Chinen shrieked. He threw the pillow at Yamada with full force. Yamada caught it, but he was thrown aback a little.
'He's strong for a chibi,' Yamada thought. Quickly, Chinen stood up and went to his own bed to take his pillow.
"Charge!" Chinen said, running towards Yamada, hitting his roommate with the pillow.
Yamada's mouth curved into a smile. "Oh no you don't!" He used his own pillow and hit Chinen.
A few moments later, they heard an angry knock on the door. "Keep it down will you?!"
"Ack~! It's Yabu-kun," Chinen whispered. "Hide!" Chinen pulled Yamada down to the ground, beside the bed.
"What are you doing?"
"Hiding," Chinen chuckled. Then, Chinen said, "Shhh~" when they heard the door opened. After a minute, the door closed again. "Thank goodness Yabu-kun didn't notice us."
Yamada smiled. "You're alright as a friend."
"I'm glad I got through you!"
Yamada raised his eyebrow. "And what's that supposed to mean?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As usual, Takaki, Yabu, Daiki, Shoon and Hikaru sat together during breakfast. Inoo, on the other hand, had went on first since he has his practical practice with Chiaki-sensei.
"Hey! That's mine!" Daiki yelled out when Takaki took on of Daiki's shrimps and ate it. The short man looked at his friend. "Yabu! Takaki's being mean!"
"I am not!" Takaki replied.
Yabu sighed. "Why are you too acting so childish?"
"AM NOT!" Takaki and Daiki said simultaneously.
"Ano..."
All five occupants of the table looked at the source of voice. "Yama-chan!" Takaki exclaimed when he saw the teen.
"Yeah."
"Are you here to give me your answer?" Takaki asked eagerly.
"Yeah~" Yamada said, looking at everywhere else except for Takaki.
"Great!" Takaki grinned from ear to ear. "So, what's your answer."
"I WANT TO SPEND MY HOLIDAY WITH MY ENGRISH BOY!" Hikaru suddenly bawl. As a result, he received a smack on the head from Yabu. "Itaii!" he rubbed his head, looking grudgingly at Yabu.
"U-Uhm, we agree to go," Yamada said for his and Keito's behalf. "B-But we only agree to it because it wouldn't fun to spend the winter holiday here," he added in quickly, looking at the ceiling, trying to hid his blush.
Yabu and Shoon smiled, and Takaki answered, "Of course!" Then, Yamada immediately went away without another word.
"We'll be leaving tomorrow at 8 in the morning!" Takaki yelled out at Yamada.
After Yamada disappeared from sight, Daiki said, "It looks like someone's starting to open up to Takaki."
"Oh shut up," Takaki said, grinning widely.
