“You look so happy today? Is there something new?...” Kei asked Daiki after seeing the boy playing with the flowers with a smile pasted so wide on the face.
“Nothing…” Daiki shook his head but right now, he’s thinking of how wonderful it is to finally realize that Yuya is indeed in love with him. But that doesn’t mean the end of his plan of bringing Ryosuke down to second spot. He wasn’t able to achieve the first place totally yet. There’s a long road to that before all of what he had hope for will happen.
“But you look so happy?...” he probed closer and Daiki had given him a frowning face. “Come on tell me!...” he edgily begged.
“I said nothing. I’m just happy today because…” he had a thought for a while. Right now, he got nothing in mind other than the truth that Yuya had told him. He needs to dodge the bullet for Kei not to know everything. But what should he say? “… this place brightens my day…” that’s the lamest excuse he could only think. “Why don’t you just finish your ikebana and leave me alone…” he pouted.
“You sound so fishy…” he teased, suspecting that something must have happened. It looks like the challenge he dared with Yuya end up different from what he thought. Yuya must have said something he never expects at all and that could be the reason why Daiki is now so happy. “Did you and Yuya met?...”
Daiki went jittery all of a sudden but he can’t let that nervousness be noticed, especially from someone like Kei. Kei had known too much already. It will be a disaster if the latter will even know about the feelings that Yuya had told him. “No…” he shook his head.
“Really?...” he’s not that convinced. It’s too obvious after all that Daiki is trying to deny it.
“Yes…”
“But I told him…” he stopped right there when someone from the outside of the shop pushed the door to open. It attracts his attention at once because he knew that he knows the person himself however he can’t let himself be seen by that person. “Cover me…” he hissed, dragging Daiki to stand before him and to cover his face from the customer.
“Wha-what?...” Of course Daiki is completely unaware if what had happened to Kei and why is he now being used as a hiding place.
“Excuse me…” said by the customer who is dragging someone on his back. He’s approaching Daiki because it looks like Daiki is the only person around inside the shop.
“Y-Y-Yes…” he doesn’t own the shop and he’s not employed in this place as well. He’s only here to see the flowers and to play with them but since Kei is pinching him from the back to just pretend as one, Daiki got no choice but to act polite and to answer the guy like what an owner would usually do. “May I help you?...”
“I’m looking for someone who can arrange a flower for me…”
“Someone?...” Daiki starts to get nervous. He’s not use to this and he doesn’t know anything about arranging flowers. All he knew is just to watch them blooming beautifully everyday. “Can you just---” he was interrupted at the middle when Kei pushes something on his left hand. It’s a paper with details asking about a customer’s personal information and preferences like address, name, age, and what kind of flowers should be arranged. “Here…” Of course, Daiki got no choice again but to hand it over at the customer.
“Daddy! Can we buy an ice cream before we get home?...” asked by someone from the back of the customer that Daiki is currently serving.
“Sure baby just let Daddy finish this first…” replied by the guy at that someone and that’s the only time when Daiki noticed that the customer is actually dragging a cute little girl with a black ribbon pinned on the left chest of her dress.
“Is she your daughter?...” Daiki asked and the guy had given him a smile which means yes. “She’s too cute…”
“Yeah…” he agreed as well while pulling his daughter to say hi at Daiki. Daiki in return patted the head of the girl who rushed back behind the guy to hide and to peep at him cutely. “Sorry, she’s too shy to someone she doesn’t know yet…”
“It’s ok…” Daiki smiled and the guy handed him back the paper with complete details on it. He reads it and when he reached the part where it asked what kind of occasion will the flower be arranged, he got curious. “Did someone died lately in your family?...”
The guy nodded while dragging his little girl to hug at his leg. “My wife…” After he said that, he’s daughter starts to sob a little but achingly. It will be a shame if he’ll cause trouble inside the shop so he cuddled his little one outside the place while curtsying along the way. And just when he went out, that’s when Kei moved from his spot to watch his back disappearing from the outside.
“So she’s dead…” Kei said with feelings he can’t explain. He doesn’t know if he should be happy or should be sad or should be unaffected since it’s not his matter anymore to worry or to feel whatever he should feel but seeing the guy and the little girl in great despair and knowing that she’s dead… Kei can’t deny that somehow he’s glad but at the same time sad.
“Do you know him or his wife?...” Daiki asked but Kei completely eluded him. He was about to chase the guy but when he saw how sad Kei turned out suddenly, he doesn’t bother to know the answer anymore. It’s not his concern after all.
The seminar had finally come and Ryosuke turned out so surprise seeing Daiki registering a name at the booth. “Did Daddy allowed you to attend this crap?...” he asked curiously while probing at his brother’s eyes.
“It doesn’t matter to you if Daddy allowed me or not and it’s not your concern anymore why I’m here…” he replied, marching his way fast enough to avoid his brother’s nosiness.
“I wonder…” Ryosuke murmured. He’s chasing Daiki from the back. “Did you steal some money to attend this shit?...”
“I’m not a thief or a burglar and I’m not someone who found this seminar stupid…”
“Ohhh…” Ryosuke cooed. “So you are now determined to find the best course suited for your future?...”
“I’m always determined Ryosuke so don’t you ever think that I don’t deserve this!...”
“You’re wasting money Daiki…” he said, informing Daiki that no matter how big the effect of this seminar, the latter will still be as dumb as ever. “Even you’ll find the best course you think you can handle in the future; you will still be the same Daiki. You will always fail…”
“Thanks…” Daiki took it like nothing. After all, it doesn’t affect him anymore. Who on earth could say that his future will always be a failure? What the hell Ryosuke is? A psychic who can determine his future? Such a joke!
“Oh YUYA!...” As usual, Ryosuke jumped happily at his lover while letting Daiki watch how bitchy he is on clinging like a sloth. “Why haven’t you fetch me this morning?...” he asked, pouting like usual as well.
“I told you already that I can’t come because something came up. Kei is not in his usual mood still and I have to tend on him. He’s not eating anything today and he looks so ill…”
“That cousin of yours again?...” Ryosuke stomped a foot. “Why do you have to tend on him if I need you as well?...”
“I’m always with you Ryosuke but Kei is just too ill and I can’t leave him unless I can see him that he’s ok already…”
“But it’s been a week already since he’s like that? Why not just bring him to the hospital?...”
“He’s sickness can’t be cured by Doctors. What he need is someone who’s there to remind him that he’s not alone…”
“Love sick? Home sick? Or just acting sick?...”
“Ryosuke!...” he almost lost his temper at that moment but when he saw how worried Daiki look just after he shouted at Ryosuke, he controlled his mood right away. He doesn’t want Daiki to get angry after all. Not now, not ever. “I’m sorry…”
“It’s ok…” Ryosuke bowed his head sorrily. “It’s my fault…” he admitted it as his mistake just to be looked pity by everyone. “I’m not after all your cousin. I’m just your boyfriend…”
“No…” he was about to explain himself but Ryosuke ran off. He would like to chase the boy but he’s too tired already. Too tired on pretending, too tired on trying and too tired of Kei. But when he saw Daiki moving away from him, just to act like they aren’t still that close at each other, he forced his legs to move just to grab this only chance to have Daiki for a moment.
“What are you doing?...” Daiki almost lost his balance when Yuya grab him out of the blue. It was so fast that in a second they are already in a secluded place where no one is around. “Someone might see us!...”
“Ssshhh…” he palmed the face of the boy and without saying anything, he kissed Daiki on the lips. He really missed this, the taste of Daiki’s soft and pouty lips. The warmth he could feel as well while hugging the boy and the excitement he could feel inside. But Daiki pushes him to stop and he can’t help not to ask why. “Why? I missed you…”
“This isn’t right…” Daiki looked away. Right now, guilt is killing him and it’s getting worst everyday. “Why not break up with Ryosuke first?...”
“I can’t hurt your brother. It feels like hurting you as well…”
“Then separate us from one another. If you love me you should end your relationship with him at once and be with me right away…”
“Aren’t you worried? People will start talking bad about you if that happen and that’s what I’m afraid of. I don’t want you to be hurt by anybody…”
“I’m prepared to be hurt as long I’m with you. I will shut my ears. I will avoid them. I will act like I don’t know just don’t make this hard for me. Don’t make me think like I’m a mistress or something…”
“No, you’re not my mistress. You’re my----” he can’t think of it as well. He can’t coin something he could say to ease the feeling of the boy.
“You’re secret lover?...” Daiki finished it up and Yuya shook a head, telling him no. “But it’s the same! Totally the same! We’re having this relationship secretly and worst! We’re doing it behind Ryosuke!...”
“Are you quitting?...”
Daiki can’t say a word. He can’t think as well on what to answer. And he can’t decide anymore on what to do. He loves Yuya and he can feel that Yuya loves him too, actually more than anything but they can’t go on with this kind of relationship. He will just be hurt seeing Yuya flirting with Ryosuke publicly while knowing that all this time the guy is in love with him. In the end it won’t be Ryosuke who will still be hurt but him. “Why can’t you just---” he was shut before he could say his protest again. Yuya isn’t allowing him to say a word anymore but even they kissed longer this time, Daiki knows Yuya will be on Ryosuke’s arm again later.
“I love you…” he said before he left the boy with a happy face but he never knew once he’s back is turned around, Daiki’s eyes will start to shed some tears and that could only mean he’s hurting the latter already.
“Where have you been?...” Ryosuke asked his boyfriend when Yuya came to their room too late for dinner. He’d been waiting there since he did that pitiful look while running away from the latter but he’s wondering and at the same time suspicious why Yuya never dares to chase him if the guy is head over heels about him before? “Did you lost your way or did you find someone already you like other than me?...”
“Getting jealous right away?...” Yuya scoffed. “I don’t get you…”
“That is because I don’t understand you as well!...” he grabbed his boyfriend to looks straight at him. “Can you tell me why are you so cold to me lately?...”
“I’m just tired Ryosuke, too tired. That’s all…”
“You don’t look tired…” he skimmed. “You actually look happy…”
How he wished he could roll his eyes but he can’t let Ryosuke be more suspicious about him. He took this risk just to be close to Daiki and it was done step by step, so he needs to end this in a smooth way as well where Ryosuke won’t be hurt as much as possible. “That is because I’m with you right now…” he pulled the boy to embrace at him tightly and Ryosuke did hug back. Right now, everything about this is just too plain for him but sooner it will cause trouble. The hug that Ryosuke will always give him, the annoying bitchy attitude that Ryosuke will usually act before him and the fake kiss he’d been sharing with the latter are just nothing for now but in the future… they will mean more than what he doesn’t know yet.
After all they’re twins. There’s nothing that can't be found at Daiki that Ryosuke can’t also have.
