Summary: Ryosuke and Daiki are twins, fraternal twins with similarities that even their parents could not identify them from one another sometimes. They were invited by Takaki Yuya, Ryosuke’s boyfriend, to a party, specifically a birthday party where everyone will enjoy a lot. But Takaki got drunk and mistaken Daiki as Ryosuke. It wasn’t done purposively but because of that the twins started to battle with each other, making it difficult for Takaki to decide if to whom he should spend the rest of his life with.
Third Conflict
The Genius Finally Meets His Rival!
CHAPTER LINKS HERE~
Even the cast on his arm is too obvious already; everybody seemed not to care a bit to ask about it. He should not be surprised anymore. No one cares about him. Even his father, his mother, his grandparents and even Ryosuke, all of them are just the same. But someone approaches him shockingly. He doesn’t know why the guy had suddenly stopped before him but he’s sure enough that somehow he had seen him somewhere however he can’t clearly remember. “What?...” he asked suspiciously and the guy had given him a pitiful stare.
“Sure enough it’s painful, isn’t it?...”
Of course, it’s a common sense already that a broken arm is always painful and even the cast is already there to immobilize it, the pain could still come and go anytime. “Yes, thanks to your concern…” he looked away and then he starts marching to where he thinks he could get away but the guy grabbed him back on his other arm. His heart starts to thump nervously then. He’s afraid that this guy is aware of something he only knew. But he can’t really remember the guy. However, something is telling him that something is about to go wrong because the guy looks so knowledgeable if who he is. “Do I know you?...”
“Don’t you remember me?...” he grinned and Daiki starts to shiver nervously. Of course he can sense it. His hand is still gripping on the arm of the little guy after all. The shakiness that Daiki had right now could be felt under his grip. “Don’t be scared, I don’t bite…”
“Then what do you want?...”
He slowly leaned his face near the ear of the latter and in a soft whispering voice, he said, “I know what you did last party night…”
Daiki jolted. Immediately he shoved the guy to let go of him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
“Denying…”
“I can’t even remember you…”
“Liar…”
“I don’t know what party you’re talking about!...”
“Stop acting innocent will you please…” he crooked his brows, making the skin in between them to crease problematically. “I saw you and my cousin heading toward his room and you take advantage that night knowing that Yuya really thinks of you as Ryosuke…”
“Shut up!...” he grabbed the lips of the guy with his palm. He looks around then to check if someone overheard it. Thank God, no one is in near proximity to know the secret he only wished to be kept untold forever. “Who are you?...” he asked the guy then.
“The new guy here who will definitely carry the burden of your secret…” he replied as soon as he took off the hand that was palming his mouth. “But I don’t want to be involve with you or with any of you so as an advise---” he patted Daiki on the cheek, “---Tell the truth…” and then he suggested what’s best for it.
“No!...” Daiki strongly disagreed right away. “I’m not telling anyone!...”
“Then are you ok with it? Seeing your brother dating my cousin everyday, knowing nothing that you did it with him all night?...”
“Its better that way than to be hated…” he looked down, pouting sadly as he recalled everything that had happened that night. It was so great, so passionate and so wonderful to have Yuya on his arms. He can until now feel the warmth around his frame, the kiss that was planted many times on his lips and the pain with pleasure that was thrust inside his soul. If he’ll be given a chance to have another one, he’s willing to offer himself once again. But thinking of it again and again, guilt is undeniably there. It was deception after all. Even he’ll turn the world up side down, and even he’ll die right now and be reborn again as an innocent boy who knows nothing at all, the deed he did is still unforgivable. “Please…” he kneeled down surprisingly and that makes the guy before him panicked.
“Stand up! Don’t make me look like the villain here…” he said while looking around the people who are now wondering if what’s going on with them.
“Just promise me first not to tell anyone…”
“I can’t promise that if Yuya will ask me about it again…”
“Just don’t tell him anything please…” he started to cry right now and that makes the guy surrender just to drag him up from kneeling. “Promise me you won’t tell him anything even he’ll force you to say it with a threat in line…”
The guy sighed but he pity Daiki somehow. He knows very well how it feels like. He’d been in that kind of relationship also before. “Fine…” he agreed but of course he can’t let his soul be drag on hell together with this boy stubborness. He had his conscience also. He knows everything that night and lying at Yuya once is already enough. “I’ll give you time to tell him…”
“What?...”
“This can’t be kept forever…”
“But I don’t want him to know until I die…”
“You will just die with regret and guilt then...”
“I’m afraid he’ll hate me…”
“You should expect that already…”
“But I don’t want to…” he shoved the guy. It looks like begging is still useless no matter what. “I’m already crying and begging this much, why can’t you help me?...”
“Because this is wrong…”
“Then that wrongness was the first thing that makes me happy…” he sobbed and that touches the guy to pity him once again. “I’ve been ignored by everybody everyday. No one likes me. No one cares about me. Even my parents, they only love Ryosuke. Even my teachers, they only like Ryosuke. Even Yuya, he only sees Ryosuke. I just want to feel what happiness is, why can’t you just let me have that even once? Why can’t you just act like you never see me doing it with your cousin? Why can’t you just allow me to have that one happiness even it will just be a memory in the end? I just want to be happy…”
“You can’t be happy with that…”
“But I am happy…”
“Then whatever…” he sighed as he turned around. How he wished he could just convince the guy to say it and just to give up but it looks like it will be long road before that. He knows very well how this will end because he was also on this road before. All he wants is to help Daiki but what can he do if Daiki doesn’t need any help. Even he’ll push the fact on what will happen in the end of this, Daiki will still surely disagree with him because just like him before, he still expects of something he thought that will really happen. “It will be useless Daiki…” he said as he sighed heavily. “I’ve been trying too hard also just like you, but you can’t have the heart of that person if someone is already owning it…”
“Just like what I said, I’m sorry…” Yuya said for the nth time while chasing and tailing Ryosuke who kept on running away from him all day. “What would you like me to do Ryosuke just for you to talk to me again?...” he begged while trying to catch a gaze from the guy who is also acting like blind in front of him. “Should I kneel down?...” he bended his knees and the crowd behind their back starts chirping like bitchy birds, kyaaaing on the process.
“Will you stop stalking me! It’s annoying!...” Ryosuke growled when the sound of the bitchy people around them starts to irritate his ears. “It’s embarrassing!...”
“I’m sorry…” Yuya pitifully shot a handsome glare. “I’m not stopping unless you forgive me…”
“I’m not forgiving you! NEVER!...”
“Ryosuke…” he grabs the guy on the waist and with nothing left on what to do just to be forgiven, he kissed the guy before everybody and that makes the crowd sigh in too much giddiness. Ryosuke on the other hand is acting like pushing him away but he can sense that somehow the guy also likes it however… it doesn’t feel the same. Weird, he thought so.
“Why did you kiss me?!...” Ryosuke starts bashing his boyfriend on the chest while turning red before everybody.
“Punch me one more time and I’ll kiss you even more…”
“What?!...” Ryosuke went surprised seeing how eager Yuya is to have him back despite of what he did last party. He left the guy without saying a word with face totally angry that night. To be truthful, Yuya should be the one angry right now because they made a promise that together, they will make that night perfect. They will have their first kiss, their first night together and their first new experience of being a couple finally. Actually, he should stop acting bitch already because Yuya is begging this much already. In other words, he should just be glad that Yuya is still head over heels about him even it was him who was wrong in the first place. “Let go of me…”
“No, I’m not letting you go unless you forgive me…”
“I will forgive you only if you’ll let go of me…”
“I can’t do that…”
“Why?...” he pouted.
“You’ll run away again…”
“Then you’ll have to chase me all over again…”
“You brat…” he pinched Ryosuke’s nose. “You really know how to make me suffer…”
“Oh Daiki!...” Ryosuke hopped to sit on the chair across where Daiki is now struggling with his meal while using a left hand to grab the meatballs with a chopstick.
Daiki in return went surprised seeing Ryosuke acting like nice at him all over again, but that surprised feeling faded away when he saw the reason why. Yes, it’s Yuya and that guy is now eyeing his brother with too much happiness. Again, he appears invisible even Ryosuke had just yell his name near that guy.
“Eating meatballs only? Are you on diet?...” Ryosuke asked his brother when he sees nothing but only meatballs on Daiki’s plate.
“It’s meat, how should I be on diet?...” Daiki pouted angrily. He’s really envious right now because Yuya could only see Ryosuke even there’s a lot of things around them to be looked at, example - the chair, the table, the people chattering behind him or simply him? “What are you doing here?...”
“Of course to grab some lunch…” Ryosuke said cutely and Yuya snorted at his expression. “What should we eat Yuya?...” he asked his boyfriend and Daiki continue on stabbing the meatballs with a chopstick, maybe transferring the hate he could feel from Ryosuke to the poor little things on the plate. “Should I grab the meal A or the meal B?...”
“Whatever you like Ryosuke…” Yuya said and Ryosuke bitchily jumped out the chair to buy at the counter. After that, he was left all alone with Daiki and he feels like… nostalgic. “Would you like me to help you with that meatball?...” he asked when he can’t stand seeing Daiki stabbing the meatball sloppily.
“No thanks…” he grumbled while missing a pierce at the meatball’s body for the fifth time. “Why don’t you want me to eat you?...” he said, asking the meatball if he doesn’t deserve to eat it as well when the current situation is already suggesting that he doesn’t deserve any attention from Yuya at all.
“Cute…” Yuya said and that jerked Daiki to look up and to stare at him straightly. “What happened to your arm? Why is it casted?...”
At last, someone noticed it. “I slipped…” he bit his lower lip.
“It must be very difficult…” Yuya said while grabbing out the chopsticks on Daiki’s hands. “Let me feed you…”
“No thanks, its ok. I can eat---” he was shut when Yuya push a meatball on his mouth while his voicing out his protest about feeding him with Ryosuke around. “Thanks…” he mumbled when he got no choice but to just chew it normally. But why does it taste good? Why when he was eating it all alone, the meatball just taste like a meatball? But why when Yuya feeds it to him, it taste like heaven?
“Here…” Yuya pushed another one and Daiki is now happy to grab it with open mouth this time but Ryosuke suddenly intervened by eating it first before Daiki could have it.
“It’s mine!...” he doesn’t mean to get angry but the act that Ryosuke did just now is too unfair! The meatball is for him. Yuya is giving it to him. It’s the only happiness he could have today and Ryosuke ruined it again!
“It’s yours, I know…” Ryosuke nodded while chomping hungrily. “I just want to know how it tastes like and it doesn’t taste bad at all…”
“You should buy it if you want it Ryosuke…” Yuya advised just to calm Daiki back on the chair.
“But I’m too tired to go back at the counter already…” he cutely begged with his eyes fluttering bitchily.
“Ok, ok…” Yuya sighed. He can’t ignore not to please his princess once Ryosuke is already asking this much. “I’ll buy it for you…”
After Yuya left to grab a plate of meatballs, Ryosuke whammed the chopstick in a not too loud but also in a not too soft manner for Daiki to notice that just now he was so angry about something. “Don’t you dare to act like bitch when Yuya is giving you his kindness…”
“I told him not to feed me but he insisted…”
“Then refuse everything. Why do you have to accept the second meatball if you can just eat it with your left hand?...”
“I can’t eat with my hand. That will look dirty…”
“Why? Is there any reason for you to look nice and clean?...”
“Wha!...” he stood up, slamming his left hand on the table as he rose up. “Why are you like this?! Why are you always talking to me like as if I’m just a piece of shit?! I’m a human being also! Why do you have to be so mean to me?!...”
“Sit down…” he begged, breathing heavily while watching the people around them murmuring on the uproar the Daiki had just yelled at him. “Don’t turn this into embarrassment…”
“Why? Are you embarrassed to let them know how evil you are? Or how ugly you are despite the fact that everyone adores you so much?...”
“That’s not true!...” he stood up and that signals Yuya to interrupt already but Ryosuke isn’t allowing him to meddle. Instead, Yuya was pushed aside not to speak and not to get involve with the argument. “It’s not my fault why you’re like that! And it’s not my fault why you are born this way!...”
“Yeah right!...” Daiki agreed since that’s the fact. “But that does not mean I can never be like you!...”
“What are you trying to say Daiki?...” Ryosuke asked. “Are you challenging me?!...”
“Why? Do you think you’re that great already that no one will ever match up with your brain and your looks?!...”
“Are you serious?!...”
“Do I look like joking with you?...”
“Will you two stop!...” Yuya shouted in the middle but again, he was pushed by Ryosuke to step aside. Behind the crowd, Kei is watching and he’s amused seeing Daiki challenging up Ryosuke in this way. It looks like this will be more interesting than the experienced he had before. It appears that the ending he thought will drastically change in some point.
“If you dare to challenge me, make sure you will win…” Ryosuke said while warning Daiki not to disappoint him.
“You don’t have to tell me, I know exactly that I will win…”

A/N: Hahahaha… I don’t know how to put a fluff on this story but I’m trying to build a competition here. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Additional notes: Thanks for greeting me on my birthday! Actually I've been waiting if how many friends were there to greet me on my cellphone. Quite disappointed to see a few of them only. Those who are so dear to me are the just the ones who greeted me but after seeing my inbox in LJ, I said, "Waaaaa! they're so many!..." I went teary right away.
