"I'm bored," Hikaru sprawled on the floor. Inoo, who was sitting on the armchair near the fireplace, looked at Hikaru, "Read a book or something. Or play some video games with Dai-chan and Takaki." At the other corner, Daiki and Takaki were playing the X-Box.
"I don't wanna!" complained Hikaru. "Okinawa's supposed to be sunny, not raining! The sun, the beach, the fresh air!"
Yabu threw a popcorn at Hikaru. "Now you're just being overly dramatic." Hikaru glared at Yabu, who was snuggling on the couch with Shoon.
It was their fifth day at Takaki's mansion, and it has been raining heavily for three days in a row. As a result, they were stuck in the mansion. Currently, they were hanging out in Takaki's private playroom in the basement. The room was like his own arcade, and there's also the piano at the other corner of the room, and his guitar. His mangas and music book is at the other side; basically this was his gateaway.
"At least we still have the Christmas party to look forward to," Shoon tried to reason with Hikaru.
"But I want to play now!!!" Hikaru bawled.
"Secret Santa."
All pairs of eyes gazed at the person who had spoken. Even Takaki and Daiki stopped playing and sat one the arm rest of the armchair Inoo's sitting, to listen to what he had to say.
Keito could feel his cheeks getting warm, and made a mental note to get back at Yamada for choosing that time to be as stoic as ever. "Well, in London, there's this game Ryosuke, my father, and I played before Chirstmas. Secret Santa. It's like a tradition, and we played it every year, and-" Keito finally realized he was getting excited. Immediately, he shut his mouth, his face red. Shoon, Yabu and Inoo was looking at him, amused. Hikaru immediately stood up and glomped Hikaru. "Let's play Secret Santa."
"Yaotome-kun, get off me," Keito murmured.
"Yadda!"
Takaki watched Yamada's expression when the teen watched his cousin trying to pry Hikaru off him with amusement. Takaki smiled when he saw Yamada's mouth curved upwards.
"Alright then!" Daiki said. "Christmas is in three days. We'll have time to buy presents within that time."
Chinen jumped off his seat. "I'll get the paper and box for us to draw the names later!"
Suddenly, something crossed Inoo's mind. "We're an odd number."
All heads turned towards Inoo. "You're right," Keito said. "Let's just cancel Secret Santa."
"No!" Inoo exclaimed. He stood up. "Why don't you guys play Secret Santa without me."
"No! Everyone will play!" argued Hikaru.
"I said I don't want to play!"
"STOP!"
"Mama?!" Takaki said when all of them turned to look at the source of the voice.
Mrs. Takaki grinned. "I may have found a solution to your problem!" She winked.
"Eh? Maji desu?" Takaki raised an eyebrow at him.
"Hai!" Mrs. Takaki said. "Minna, meet Yuto-kun!" She pulled Yuto towards her so that the others could see him. Yuto bowed. Yamada was surprised to see Yuto but he tried to hide it. Takaki saw him though. "He'll be staying here as chef for the holiday," Mrs. Takaki exlained. "Then, he'll go to the academy with you guys."
"Eh? Nani?" asked Hikaru.
"Kitagawa-san has appointed him as the new cook at the academy." Mrs. Takaki quoted, "It's such a shame to let talent go to waste."
Yabu, Shoon and Inoo sweat dropped. "That really does sound like Kitagawa-sensei," they muttered under their breath.
"Anyway, I have business to attend to, so I'll be leaving Yuto-kun in your care. Ja," she said before running off.
"Aah~! I remember you!" Hikaru said out of the blue. "You're that ramen guy."
Daiki, Yabu, Shoon, Inoo, and Chinen looked at Hikaru with a raised eyebrow. Keito frowned. Yamada just acted like he's not interested.
"Come on in," Yabu invited. Yuto just nodded and stepped into the room. "My name is Yabu Kota, the student council president at the academy."
"Yaotome Hikaru!"
"Arioka Daiki desu!" Daiki said, showing a peace sign.
"Chinen Yuuri," Chinen smiled.
"Boku wa Inoo Kei desu," Inoo said, "and this is Takaki Yuya," he pointed at Takaki who is sitting next to him.
"My name is Yamashita Shoon."
The others waited for Keito and Yamada to introduce themselves, but they didn't. After awhile, Yabu decided to introduce them. "This is Okamoto Keito, and Yamada Ryosuke."
Yuto nodded. "My name is Nakajima Yuto. Yoroshiku." His eyes were locked on Yamada.
"Now that everyone knows each other, let's start the game!"
"HAI~!" Daiki and Chinen childishly said.
"Since they're already like that..." Yabu looked at Yuto, "You don't mind joining us, do you?"
"No," Yuto took a seat across Yamada.
"I'm done writing everyone's name down," said Chinen. "Now, we'll take turns drawing the names!" he looked at Yabu. "We'll start with Yabu-senpai!" For the entire time, Yamada had avoded looking at Yuto. Takaki, on the other hand, was looking at Yamada. Keito too. The others though, didn't notice anything.
Once everyone had draw a name, Yamada stood up. "Yama-chan, where are you going?" Chinen asked.
"Bed."
Hikaru blinked. "But it's still early."
"Your point is?" Yamada left the room before Hikaru could reply.
"Mou," Hikaru said. "I thought he has started to open up to us."
Inoo chuckled. "He'll need his time."
Yuto stood up. "I better get going as well. I need to go through the recipes."
"Sure, Nakajima-kun."
With a last nod, Yuto left the room. Without saying anything, Keito stood up and left too.
"Now, where is he going?" Shoon asked.
"Probably running from Hikaru," Takaki and Daiki snickered. They received a playful punch from Hikaru.
-----------------------------------------------
"Nakajima-kun, wait!"
"You're..."
"Okamoto Keito."
"Is there something you need from me?"
"If you hurt Ryosuke, I promise you I'll make your life a living hell," Keito said in a low voice.
"Who are you?" Yuto asked, curious.
"I am none of your concern." Keito left before Yuto could say anything more.
-------------------------------------------------
"Are you alright?" Keito asked when he entered the room he shared with Yamada. No answer came from Yamada. Although Yamada was covered from head to to under his comforter, but Keito knew his cousin was still awake. Keito sat on Yamada's bed with a bounce.
"Ow!" was heard from under the comforter. Yamada removed the comforter covering his head and glared at his cousin. "Why did you do that for?"
Keito just smirked. "You looked like you need some cheering up to do." After both Yamada and Keito settled down on Yamada's bed, leaning against the bedpost, Keito asked, "He was the one, isn't he? The boy from your past." Keito looked at Yamada. "The name you've been calling every time you had a nightmare."
"He was alive, but he didn't try to contact me," Yamada hugged his knees to his chest, resting his head on it.
"If he hurt you, I promised I'll make his life a living hell," Keito said. He smiled, "That was what I told him."
Yamada chuckled. "You shouldn't have done that," he laughed.
"Now, that's more like it," Keito said.
"Thanks," Yamada looked at his cousin with a smile.
---------------------------------------------------
"You seemed quiet tonight," Hikaru exclaimed. Everyone else had went to bed, so Hikaru decided to crash in Takaki's room and play video games.
"Hn?" Takaki said, as he tried to evade one of Hikaru's attacks.
"You seemed out of it since your mom brought Yuto over."
"Hn." Takaki failed to evade Hikaru's attacks.
"You felt threatened with him here, don't you?"
Takaki's eyes opened wide. "What?!" On the screen flashed, 'GAME OVER'.
Hikaru smirked. "So, I was right." He snickered. "Lil Takaki ish jealous."
Takaki glared at his best friend, "I AM NOT!"
Hikaru stood up, "Whatever you say, Takaki." He laughed. "I better head back to my room. Yabu'll probably give me a lecture if I return too late."
"Be careful not to walk in into Yabu and Shoon doing 'something'," Takaki shout out at his friend when Hikaru was about to walk out of the room.
