Chapter 21
“Welcome home Shako~”
Daiki pushed the door open, put down his bag and suddenly grabbed Shako carrying her into the house.
“D-daiki!!!!” Shako screamed, “What are you doing?! Put me down!!”
“I’m just carrying you over the threshold Shako~” he said playfully.
“DAIKI!!! Mou~ I wish you’d stop pretending that we’re married. Put me down now!”
“Hai~” he carried her over to the couch and carefully placed her there. “Nee Shako, we still need to go get a few more pieces of furniture. On top of that…we only have your single sized bed. My mom won’t let me take mine…she said something about ‘a memento of me living in that house’. She couldn’t have kept something else…So we need to go get one,” A smile creeped onto Daiki’s face, “…on second thought…we’ll just share yours.” Daiki said slyly.
“Dai-chan you’re such a pervert. Of course we’re buying a second bed. Don’t go getting any ideas.” Shako glared at him. After being together for so long, Shako could almost read every thought in Daiki’s mind.
Daiki just chuckled, “We’ll see…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were standing in the furniture store. After buying everything they needed, lamps, curtains, shelves and the like, they had one last decision. The bed.
“Dai-chan, we have enough space to have two rooms. We can sleep in two separate rooms. It’ll be cheaper to just buy another single bed.” Shako was practical. At this time, the two of them were both attending school and had part-time job so they didn’t have a lot of money to waste.
“Shako why don’t we get a queen sized bed? It doesn’t matter… we live in the same house, plus we can use your old bed as a guest bed. Or we can use the other room for the space,” Daiki was still fighting for his way. He wasn’t being pushy, but he wasn’t being subtle about what he wanted either.
Shako and Daiki had a childish staring contest in the furniture store. Heads were starting to turn to the odd couple. There was even a mother who pulled her staring son away, covering his eyes, trying to avoid his exposure to the strange pair.
“Shako, come on, you’ve completely designed the house, at least let me have my way once…” he gave her pleading puppy eyes.
She sighed and gave in, feeling guilty. “Fine Dai-chan, but we’re putting pillows in between us. Plus, you don’t really HAVE design sense and you know it.”
“Yay~!” he was seriously happy and would be swinging Shako around in glee if they weren’t in public and surrounded by expensive furniture. Even though Daiki didn’t fully get his way, he was still delighted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pillows were placed in between Shako and Daiki exactly the way Shako wanted. The bed was queen sized and there was enough space for the pillows and the two of them to sleep comfortably. It was time to sleep and after a long day of cleaning and moving around things, Shako crawled into bed and was quickly slipping into unconsciousness when she felt Daiki moving on the bed. He leant over the pillows on the bed and kissed Shako.
“Oyasumi Shako!” Even though it was pitch dark in the room, Shako could hear the smile in her boyfriend’s voice.
“Move back on your side baka,” Shako lightly hit Daiki on the forehead. She wasn’t angry at him, only embarrassed. Luckily it was dark and he couldn’t see her bright red face.
“I was only saying ‘good night’” Daiki pouted.
“Hai, hai,” Shako answered annoyed, “Oyasumi Dai-chan.” Shako pulled the covers over her shoulder turning away from Daiki, falling asleep shortly after.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the sun rose and it shone through the curtains, Shako was awoken when the light hit her eyes. She tried to move, but she was being restrained by something…or someone. Daiki had his arms wrapped around Shako, sleeping soundly. When she was trying to move, the shuffling woke him up.
“Ohayou Shako~” he said sleepily, not realizing what position they were in.
“Daiki!! What happened to the pillows?!” she tried to push herself away from Daiki, but he wasn’t planning on letting go of her.
“They’re there. Apparently you’re not on your side though. You started snuggling up to me while you were sleeping.” Shako sat up and realized that she was on Daiki’s side of the bed, the wall of pillows still prominently in a line, exactly the way it was when they went to sleep the night before.
“Eh..?” Shako was embarrassed that she accused Daiki but it looked like he didn’t really mind.
“Jaa…with that out of the way…Let’s go eat breakfast. I’m hungry” he let go of Shako and rolled off the bed. “What to eat, what to eat?” he was singing a little song which made Shako giggle as she followed him into the kitchen.
Shako and Daiki had only settled down a few days ago, and therefore there wasn’t much in their fridge except a few eggs and some bread. Daiki pulled them out of the fridge along with frying pan. Of course because Daiki couldn’t cook if his life depended on it, he stepped aside and let Shako cook.
Everyday pretty much went the same way. They would wake up, eat breakfast after Shako cooked it, and then they would go wherever they needed to go, come home and sleep. Shako kept trying to keep the pillow wall in between Shako and Daiki, but she constantly found herself in Daiki’s arms, on his side of the bed every morning. In the end, she completely gave up on putting up the wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daiki and Shako were in the supermarket a few days before Christmas.
“Nee Dai-chan, what do you want to eat tonight?” she picked up a can and was reading the label. Daiki came up behind Shako and put his chin on her shoulder.
“Mmm anything’s fine.” Daiki heard someone calling his name.
“Arioka-kun!” He saw a pair of people walking towards him.
“Kai-kun! How are you? Did you finish the assignment that we got? Are? Who’s this? ATSUKO?! You’re going out with her? When?” Daiki was surprised when he saw Satoda Atsuko hanging off of Akira’s arm.
Shako wasn’t feeling comfortable in this situation. Not only was she afraid of Akira because he almost raped her, but she was feeling uneasy around Satoda-san. She almost took Daiki away from her. Shako moved forward shyly and wrapped her arms around Daiki’s. Daiki felt her shaking and looked at Shako confused. In the end, he didn’t do anything about it.
“Konnichiwa Kai-san, Satoda-san” she was trying to be polite, but she really wanted to get away from the two.
The three talked animatedly for the next few minutes, with Shako being too anxious to say anything, until the topic of Christmas came up.
“Eh? You two aren’t doing anything?” Akira asked Daiki. “Sou…why don’t you to come to the Christmas party at my place. It’ll be lots of fun if you’re not doing anything..”
“Sorry Kai-kun, I don’t think we can. We have stuff to do.” Daiki answered back. Shako was confused. They didn’t have anything planned for Christmas or at least they hadn’t talked about anything.
“Oh, okay then. Maybe some other time!” he smiled. “We’ve got to go! Bye!” Akira let himself be dragged off by Atsuko as they went towards the ice cream aisle.
“See you Daiki~” Atsuko waved as she pulled her boyfriend along.
“Dai-chan….we don’t have anything planned for Christmas day…” Shako started.
“Just wait and keep Christmas night free,” Daiki winked, “Come on; I’m starting to get hungry so let’s hurry up.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Chisato and Shako were walking around town shopping for Christmas presents for their boyfriends.
“Chisa help me!! I don’t know what to get for Dai-chan!” She asked Daiki what he wanted for Christmas but when she asked, he simply answered: “You don’t have to buy me a present but if you do, I’ll love anything if it’s from you.” Gosh was that ever vague.
“Don’t worry Shako, we have ALL DAY to find something.” Chisato was paying for the pair of earrings she just bought and put them into her bag.
“You bought earrings for Yabu-kun? Isn’t that….”
“I know you’re thinking it’s girly. Ko-chan just got his ear pierced. One earring is for him and the other is for me. We’ll have matching ones.” Chisato explained.
“Sou…” Shako was temporarily distracted, nodding her head slowly showing that she understood Chisato. “Chotto matte! AH! Dai-chan. Present. Need. To. Find!”
“We’ll come on then. We still have…5 hours left to look and you’re taking up time just standing here freaking out.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Four hours later Shako and Chisa walked into a music store. Okay…it was the 15th music store they’d been to that day….
“Mou Shako what in the world are you looking for? We’ve been to so many music stores today. What’s so special about this one?” Even though Chisato agreed to help Shako look for Daiki’s Christmas present, this was just too much.
“Eh? Oh, this is the store Dai-chan always visits. I thought I’d get a clue coming here.” Her reply made Chisato’s jaw drop to the ground.
“So you’re telling me that we’ve walked around ALL DAY, just so you could come to a store you already KNEW?! Shako….” She started walking towards her best friend with a murderous glare.
“Don’t kill me Chisa!!” Shako plead for her life until ‘it’ caught her eye. “Ah! Here it is!” She ran up to a guitar and ran her fingers over the strings. “I have the PERFECT idea Chisa!” she said with shining eyes.
“FINALLY!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Shako was shopping with Chisato, Daiki had his own plans. He was in a cake shop with Yamada, Chinen and Morimoto.
“Get this one Daiki!” Yama-chan pointed to the cake covered in strawberries, his eyes glimmering. Even though Yama-chan was a flirt and acted mature around girls, the second he saw his favourite food, his façade was broken immediately, and he acted like a kid in a candy store….or a strawberry crazed freak in a bakery. Everyone gave Ryosuke a look that said “what’s wrong with you?” and he answered, “What? I like strawberries!”
“WE KNOW!” Chinen, Morimoto and Daiki all said simultaneously.
Yama-chan gave them the kicked puppy look and rubbed his cheek against the display case. “I’m sorry my ichigos, I’ll be back for you!” Everyone else pretty much ignored him and continued looking for a cake.
“What’s Takahashi-san’s favourite flavor Daiki?” Chinen asked.
“Strawberry, vanilla or chocolate….” He said, still looking at the many cakes on display. When he caught Yamada’s horror stricken face when Daiki said “strawberry”. Yama-chan feared that the strawberry cake would be taken away from him so Daiki quickly added in, “but she usually eats chocolate flavoured things nee…”
“So it’s a chocolate cake we’re looking for…” Ryuutaro mumbled, “How about this one?” Ryuutaro was pointing to a simple chocolate cake with a decoration on top. It was a penguin in a Santa’s cap. http://santasnook.com/images/2images/38944.jpg (like this... but in cake decoration form XD)
“Perfect!” Daiki looked at the cake. Chinen and Ryuutaro sighed in relief as they straightened their backs, bending backwards trying to stretch after being bent over for so long. Yamada was looking into his wallet crying because he didn’t have enough money to buy the cake he wanted oh so much.
Daiki ordered the cake so it would be ready for Christmas day and the four left the shop, having to drag Yama-chan out with him crying, “NO! MY BEAUTIFUL STRAWBERRIES!!”
“So is everything ready for Takahashi-san, Dai-chan?” Chinen asked.
“No… I still have to choose a recipe that’s easy enough that I won’t burn down the house AND I still have to find a Christmas present for her! Christmas is only a few days away and I have so much to do!”
“I’m sure you’ll get everything done on time.” Ryuutaro patted Daiki on the back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Christmas Day, Shako got a phone call from Macchan and Hiro. Maki and Hiroto were both in on the plan.
“Nee Shako, is everything set?” Hiro asked.
“No… not yet. They haven’t finished at the store.” Shako looked at her watch. “Is it alright that I come over now?”
“Yeah sure.” Maki answered. They both hung up the phone after finishing the conversation. Shako hadn’t seen Daiki much that day even though they were in the same house. She decided to go to find him.
“Dai-chan~! She looked through the rooms of the house, “Oh there you are!” she found him in the living room looking through recipe books. “Dai-chan, I’m going out to a party tonight so I won’t be here to cook dinner. You’re going to have to either order out of try and cook for yourself. Just make sure you don’t burn down the house.”
Daiki slammed the cookbook he was holding and the sound resonated throughout the whole house. Shako jumped at the slap and had a worried look on her face.
“Dai-chan...What’s wrong?” she tried to approach him, but he turned around angrily and Shako stepped back in fear.
“What wrong? Shako you just made plans when I told you to keep today free! Do you even KNOW what today is?! It’s CHRISTMAS!”Shako knew what that day was. It was exactly why she was leaving the house. “I had something special planned for today and you just made plans?! God Shako you’re so forgetful! I don’t know why I do all this for you if you’re not going to appreciate it in the end! Go to your party! Have fun without me! Let me sit all alone on Christmas night! Or I have a better idea. Why don’t we go to Kai-kun’s party? Won’t that be fun? I turned him down at the supermarket because of my plans, but since they were ruined we can go now right?!” Daiki was yelling at the frightened Shako. She didn’t know why he was so angry but the second she heard Akira’s name, she shivered. The images of him trying to attack her were coming back slowly and were scaring her.
“No! I don’t want to go!” Daiki grabbed her arm to pull her out the door, but she snatched her arm away. “Can’t you see I’m afraid of him Daiki? He tried to RAPE me! I know you two are friends, but I’m frikkin’ AFRAID to be around him!” Daiki tried to grab Shako’s arm again but she slapped him on the cheek. The place where Shako’s hand came into contact with Daiki’s face quickly turned red. “How can you be so insensitive Daiki?” Shako turned around and ran out the door, grabbing her jacket on the way out. Her mood was ruined.
Daiki just stood there with his hand on his cheek. “What have I done?” Daiki realized that he had no right to be angry. He didn’t tell Shako exactly what he was doing so she couldn’t have known. But he DID tell her to be free on Christmas. Daiki felt guilty about trying to pull Shako somewhere she didn’t want to go. She was afraid of Akira? She acted so….it dawn upon Daiki. The reason why Shako grabbed onto his arm at the supermarket. The reason why he felt her trembling that day. Daiki just made a HUGE mistake.
A/N- It was.....awkward to write the whole...which bed should we get kinda thing.... You see... i;ve never had a queen sized bed...or a double (i am a poor person XD kidding) I've always slept on a single sized bed....and it can fit two people...not very comfortably though....Daiki's a perv XD even all of BEST said so XD
Uwaaa they're fighting again... and everytime i read over Daiki's yelling bit (yes he's yelling) it makes me think "wow...Daiki really went delusional" the fact that Shako makes plans and then Daiki wants to go to Akira's party.....an odd set up in my mind...but how else could have i gotten the whole "i'm scared of him" in there? it looks like Daiki REALLY lost it. But who wouldn;t?
OMG Hikaru and A-chan?!?! (Kami-chan;s blog) Why Hikaru why?! T^T (then again...Hikaru didn;t go to uni or college...why would he risk his career?) I hope this will all just blow over just like Kanna and Hasshi's scandal
3 years to cover...maybe 2 1/2.... still looking for ideas.....or requests.....ANYTHING?!?! anyway Comments and Criticisms are love <3 (sorry for the long AN T^T)

But he DID tell her to be free on Christmas. Daiki felt guilty about trying to pull Shako somewhere she didn’t want to go. She was afraid of Akira? She acted so….it dawn upon Daiki. The reason why Shako grabbed onto his arm at the supermarket. The reason why he felt her trembling that day. Daiki just made a HUGE mistake.
A/N- It was.....awkward to write the whole...which bed should we get kinda thing.... You see... i;ve never had a queen sized bed...or a double (i am a poor person XD kidding) I've always slept on a single sized bed....and it can fit two people...not very comfortably though....Daiki's a perv XD even all of BEST said so XD
Uwaaa they're fighting again... and everytime i read over Daiki's yelling bit (yes he's yelling) it makes me think "wow...Daiki really went delusional" the fact that Shako makes plans and then Daiki wants to go to Akira's party.....an odd set up in my mind...but how else could have i gotten the whole "i'm scared of him" in there? it looks like Daiki REALLY lost it. But who wouldn;t?
OMG Hikaru and A-chan?!?! (Kami-chan;s blog) Why Hikaru why?! T^T (then again...Hikaru didn;t go to uni or college...why would he risk his career?) I hope this will all just blow over just like Kanna and Hasshi's scandal
3 years to cover...maybe 2 1/2.... still looking for ideas.....or requests.....ANYTHING?!?! anyway Comments and Criticisms are love <3 (sorry for the long AN T^T)
