“Moshi! Moshi! Akanishi Jin desu…”
“Hello, Jin…” Kazuya said in a low voice when he heard the older man’s cheerful voice from the other line.
“Eh? Kazu? Why are you whispering?”
“Er… Don’t mind it… Do whatever you want today, okay? But don’t you ever come in here. Get it?” the younger man warned grimly, still in a low voice.
“Eh?! Nande? Did I do something wrong?” Jin asked curiously. “Did you tell your dad and your brother about our fake relationship? Or did you tell them about the kiss yesterday?”
Kame flushed as he remembered the incident. Out of the blue, he closed his eyes and unconsciously ran his fingers to his lips that had once felt Jin’s sweet full lips.
“H.E.L.L.O, Kazu! Still there? Moshi moshi!” he heard Jin’s dorky voice calling out and came back to his senses. He remembered the reason why he called.
“Yeah, still here. Don’t be so loud, okay? I’m not deaf. The thing is, Gov. Tanaka-san is here. Otou-san invited him.”
“Ow~ So? What is it for me? I’m a good citizen. I’m paying my taxes. I’m not breaking rules, at least… I can’t remember anything about breaking? And I don’t have any case against our government.” Jin stated naively.
“Please be serious, Jin!” Kazuya hissed irritably.
“Mou~ Kazu~ I’m serious! Do I look like I’m laughing in here?”
“Ha-ha-ha! Very funny, Jin.”
“Ah, hokey! Hokey! Fine. Why did you call again?”
“Argh. Gov. Tanaka-san is here… talking with Otou-san… to be our sponsor!
“WHOA~! Sugeee! Gov. Tanaka? He’s rich! I’ve heard he gave expensive gifts ne!” Jin exclaimed happily.
“BAKANISHI! You’re missing the point.”
“Eh? Doushite? Do you prefer Mayor Nishikido-san? Oh Come on, Kazu! He’s too thrifty ne! He’ll just give us legendary chopsticks! So cheap!” the younger man arched his eye brow; he knew the older man was trying to hold his chuckle on the other line.
“Listen, JIN! Please focus on the problem!”
“Nee… Kazu~ what’s the problem about that ne?” the older man asked freely.
“Are you crazy, Jin? If he finds out about our ‘wedding’, entire Japan will know!”
“Mou~ Kazu… Don’t be so mean to Gov. Tanaka. He’s not a town crier.”
“Jin, please! I’m in panic here while you’re so cool in there. This will be a big issue! Argh! Why did Otou-san have to be so in a rush, he’s putting us in a big trouble.” Kazuya heaved an exasperated sigh. He’s trying to calm himself down.
“Kazu! Kazu~! Don’t panic ne! Today’s the second day of our pretending, you don’t have to be so worked up about it.” Jin replied soothingly.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s still the second day but here it is… my Otou-san already invited Gov. Tanaka-san. And now, what? Next week, the entire Japan will know about it!”
“Isn’t that good ne? We’ll be more popular!”
“But Jin-”
“Kazuya, who are you talking in the phone? And why are you whispering like a cockroach?”
Kazuya turned shocked as he saw his parents with the Governor, the phone slipped from his grip.
“I’m sure he’s talking with Jin. You know when people are in love… they like to whisper sweet nothings to each other,” Shizuku chirped in, teasing her son.
“K-Kombanwa, Gov. Tanaka-san.” Kazuya bowed slightly as he faced the baldy old man politely.
“Oh! Yo! Kame-kun. How are you?” the old man smiled at him.
“Fine…” Kazuya smiled back.
When his parents and the Gov. were out from his sight, he put the phone back to his ear.
“Hello, Jin?” He called out but to his dismay, he only the dial tone answered him.
-------------------
“Oh! Jin, come in. You surprise me.”
“Kombanwa, Shizuku Kaa-san,” Jin greeted politely.
“By the way, why are you here? Are you feeling better now?” Shizuku asked worriedly. Jin was a bit taken aback.
“Er…?”
“Kazuya told us that you can’t come here ‘coz you have stomached.”
Jin smirked. So, that’s the reason Kazu gave to his parents? Tsk. Tsk. Kazu~ you’re so smart ne…
Jin gentle rubbed his belly and put his sour face in act. “Uhm… it’s a bit better now ne… Kaa-san.”
“That’s good. Go up to Kazuya, he’s in his room. I think something’s wrong with him. He hasn’t eaten dinner yet. Go and check him up for me, okay?”
“Hai! Hai! I’ll take care of Kazu-chan~!” Jin said happily as he childishly saluted at Shizuku who chuckled lightly.
He hurriedly walked to go upstairs but on his way, he met another person along the way, Kazuya’s dad, Miroku.
“Kombanwa, Miroku Tou-san”
“Jin? Why are you here?” Miroku asked curiously, a bit shocked.
“Er… N-Nande?” Jin asked back, confused.
“I thought you are sick?”
Jin remembered the so-called ‘sickness’ he has. He automatically put his hand to his belly and rubbed it gently. “I-I feel better now. I already drink medicine for my stomached. Ha-Ha.” He chuckled softly, trying to put his best act.
The old man furrowed his eye brows, “Jin? Are you sure you’re okay? I didn’t know that medicine for stomached can cure migraine.”
“Mi-Migraine?”
“Yeah, Kazuya told us you can’t come here ‘coz you have migraine. Well, I just want you two to meet Gov. Tanaka-san.”
“Ah… Hai! It’s Migraine! Ha-Ha! Gomen ne, Tou-san… I think I drank to much medicine that’s why I feel kind of dizzy, Ha-Ha! My bakaness is on again. Ha-Ha.” Jin flushed as he scratched his head embarrassingly.
“You should be resting right now, you can still visit Kazuya anytime you want.” The old man said worriedly.
“Ehehe… I missed him, Tou-san. Can’t help myself not to see him for just a day.”
“Oh, well… You really love my son, aren’t you? That’s good! Take good care of him, okay? Or else…” Miroku gave the younger man a meaningful stare.
“Oh! Hai! Hai! ROGER! I’ll take good care of him! Leave it to me!” Jin saluted seriously.
“I know you will. Kazuya’s in his room. He’s a bit moody right now.” Miroku shook his head.
“Hai! Hai!” Jin hurriedly walked towards his ‘fiancée’s room. When he knocked softly, he heard a quick sound of footsteps.
“What the heck are you doing here? I specifically told you not to come here-”
“SHH!” Jin quickly put his index finger to the younger man’s pouty lips to stop the other’s ranting. “You’re becoming a grouch… you’re getting really old ne, Kazu-chan~!” He walked directly inside the younger man’s room and plopped down to the bed, ignoring the glare Kazuya was giving him.
“No, I’m not. Otou-san and Okaa-san just pissed me off. They keep on asking me if you can come. I got tired of it so I stayed here.”
“Ow~ OH! Kazu! Next time you’re going to give a fake illness, choose only one then stick with it, okay? I panicked back there. I really looked like stupid.”
Kazuya chuckled. “Ha-Ha. You’re always baka, Bakanishi. Ha-Ha. Well, I did it on purpose.”
“Mou~ Kazu-chan~ you’re so mean! You’re dad might think he’ll have an abnormal future son-in-law.” Jin pouted.
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with it? You’re one of a kind ne…” the younger man laughed hard. Jin can’t help but laughed along.
The room was filled of laughter but after a minute, they both fell silent.
“Our situation really is a big mess, isn’t it?” Kazuya broke the awkward silence.
Jin sat straightly, he stared directly to the younger man with serious expression.
“What?” Kazuya arched his eye brow.
“I want to give you something.” The older man fished out a small box from his pocket. He placed it in top of Kazuya’s hand.
“What’s this?” Kazuya stared nervously at the small box.
“Go ahead and open it,” Jin said softly. He gently held the younger man’s hand.
Kazuya tried to calm himself to prevent from shaking, he don’t want the older man noticed his nervousness. He opened the box slowly, and when the box was fully opened, he gasped. There’s a small ring, simple yet well-designed placed neatly inside the small box. He can’t help but mesmerized, he leisurely put the small ring on his pinky finger.
“Looks good on you, Kazu…” Jin smiled at him.
“Sheesh, don’t trick me I’m not dumb.” Kazuya turned away, hiding his flushed face.
“Mou~ I’m not.” Jin pouted, he crossed his arms.
If only this is real and not a pretending… Kazuya thought.
He closed his eyes, trying to imagine that Jin also love him.
Kamenashi Kazuya… stop deluding yourself to the things that can never be happen… there’s no miracle. Kazuya convinced himself miserably.
“What is this for anyway? Props? You know, we don’t need engagement ring effect.”
The older man’s genuine smile faded, “Actually, Kaa-chan told me to give it to you.”
A fang of pain hit his heart. See, Kazuya? Don’t put all your hopes up! Kazuya lectured himself.
“Ow~ so, you let your mom bought it for you ne?” the younger man said mockingly. “You can’t even buy me a fake ring for our fake engagement.”
“Laugh all you want, Kazu… but for your information, that ring has been in our family for three generations.”
“Three generations?” Kazuya gasped.
“Yep! Passed on to every eldest son from every generation… and give it for their one true love.”
“You mean, your father gave this to your mother when they got married?” Kazuya asked wide eye.
“Exactly! So did my grandfather to my grandmother, and then my great-grand-”
“I get your point, Jin.” Kazuya snapped. “So why are you giving this to me then? We’re not yet married. And besides, I’m a guy. I mean, you said it yourself, it was given to their wife.”
The older man shrugged. “Kaa-chan wants you to have it. She seems to think that it will be soon yours too so I might as well give it to you now.”
“What about you? What do you think?” Kazuya asked to test the older man. But to his disappointment, Jin shrugged again. He felt hurt because of the older man’s numbness. He hurriedly put back the ring.
“I don’t deserve to wear this,” He said with blank expression
“What are you talking about? It looks good on you.”
“Jin, don’t give it to me. Give it to the one you really love, okay? It doesn’t feel right for me to use it just for our fake relationship.”
“Kaa-chan would wonder why you’re not accepting it.”
“She’ll understand someday. And she’ll thank me for it.”
“Uhm… Hokey.” Jin put the ring back to the small box and tucked it back to his pocket. “Next time I offer this, I’ll make sure it’s not going to be rejected.”
Kazuya felt his heart was stabbed hard. He felt jealous towards the person the older man will choose to get married… and the person who will get the older man’s love.
They fell silent.
“Kazu…” Jin called out softly.
“Hmm?”
“What are you thinking of right now?” Jin asked seriously.
“Nothing that concerns you,” Kazuya denied. “Why do you ask?”
“Nothing, you’re so deep in thought. Gomen ne… for putting you in this crazy situation. I know you’re miserable and-”
Kazuya cut the older man off. “I will never be miserable as long as I’m with you,” he said sincerely but he was shocked to what he had just said. He looked up nervously into Jin’s brown orbs.
The older man seemed to have no problem returning his stare. They held each others gaze. The older man suddenly cupped his face gently.
“Jin…”
Jin covered his lips with a finger. He can’t utter a word, he felt nervous to the sudden actions of the older man. Their faces began to drift unconsciously closer and closer. He can smell the others sweet and masculine scent.
Kazuya held his breathe as he waited Jin’s soft lips. He unconsciously closed his eyes when their lips met. His heart was thudding uncontrollably at the ascending pair of lips. He wrapped his arms around the older man’s neck to draw the other closer.
This kind of action Kazuya made gave a sign for Jin to wander his hands through the younger man’s body. Kazuya didn’t mind the older man’s wandering hands as they moved slowly up to his shirt and teasingly began to undo his shirt buttons.
Kazuya bit his lower lip because of the sensation he was experiencing. Jin kissed him gently in every part of his face down to his neck. He heard the older man moaned his name. And it’s like music to his ear.
He forgot about himself. He didn’t care what will happen when they continue this passionate kisses and touches. At this moment, he let his heart be in charge atop of his head.
I don’t care anymore…
Kazuya didn’t pull back when the older man took off his shirt. He felt his body heat up when Jin’s lips roamed his chest and teasingly licked his nipples. His own hands started to wander through the older man’s body as if memorizing every part of it.
“I love you…” he moaned unconsciously. He slowly opened his eyes when he felt the older man’s warmth left him. He stared confusingly at the other. He swiftly cupped Jin’s face.
“I-I’m not Pi.” Jin uttered as he quickly made a distance between them.
“What?” He asked, confused.
“Next time you allow someone to kiss you, don’t ever close your eyes so that you won’t get confused who are you responding to.”
Kazuya furrowed his eye brows. He furiously clenched his fist madly. He wanted to deny Jin’s accusation but his anger got atop on him.
“You’re a fine one to talk!” Kazuya retorted. “I’m not stupid, Jin. You think I didn’t know you’re thinking someone else while you’re kissing me huh? DAMN IT! I’m not numb!”
The older man was taken aback.
“I was such a poor substitute, wasn’t I?” the younger man continued mockingly. “Well, I’m so sorry for disappointing you. Forgive me if I’m not as good as one of your girlfriends!” he added sarcastically.
“I’m sorry, Kazu…” Jin apologized. “Kissing you was a terrible mistake…”
Those words stabbed directly to Kazuya’s heart. He hurriedly put his clothes back. He avoided looking at the other. A tear fell from his eye.
“I’m so sorry, Kazu…” the older man repeated. “I forgot. We both forgot. Let’s leave it at that.”
Then again, the younger felt another stabbed to his swollen heart. What? He forgot? We both forgot? What was that? Is it like the other day when he kissed me? It’s just a mistake too, isn’t it? He terribly missing his girlfriends, isn’t it? Kazuya thought painfully.
Suddenly his tears fell uncontrollably, he tried to wipe it all away but every time he tried to they just fall again.
Jin was about to touch him.
“Get out, Jin.” He said with hurtful tone.
“Kazu… it doesn’t have to be this way.” The older man pleaded.
“I said get out!” He shouted, he can no longer hold his anger anymore. Jin dejectedly obeyed and left.
--------------------
A stupid little scene (including me! *laughs*):
“ARGH! THAT BAKANISHI! Why did he keep on hurting my Kame-chan!!! ARGH!” Pi-chan angrily clenched his fist.
“Hold on! Relax Pi-chan!!! You can’t do anything! You’re not on the story anymore! Remember you already broke up with him! You’re just baka like Bakanishi!” Jemae-chan smacked Pi-chan’s head.
“ITAI! Mou~! I’m not that stupid like him ne!!! And why did he even kiss my Kame-chan! Argh! I’m going to kill him!” Pi-chan wiggled like a baby.
“Will you stop that? And yes you are! You’re stupid like him! You’re the best of friends after all! And Oi~! Don’t kill him or you’ll have to face Jin’s fans! And even Kame-chan’s fans! And oh! I’m one of them! So if you killed him… I’m going to kill you too!” Jemae-chan smirked evilly.
“EH?! I thought you’re a fan of mine?” Pi-chan tilted his head.
“Yeah, I’m a fan of yours too… but I love AKAME!” Jemae-chan cheered on.
“Eh?! You’re so mean! You chose them over me???” Pi-chan pouted.
“Hai! What’s wrong with that? You have a problem with that ne?” Jemae-chan gave Pi-chan a meaningful look.
“A-Ah… N-No… he-he-he… jya, I’ll go now ne? Just continue writing the story… ahihihi…” Pi-chan scratched his head.
“Good. Jya, hope you enjoy this chapter ne? 2 more chapters to go! Pi-chan and I will go now. You still have to buy me melon bread, Pi-chan!”
“Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Okay! Konkon!”
“Ja ne!” Jemae-chan waves along with Pi-chan. ^________^

“Kazuya, who are you talking in the phone? And why are you whispering like a cockroach?”

“I’m sure he’s talking with Jin. You know when people are in love… they like to whisper sweet nothings to each other,” Shizuku chirped in, teasing her son.
“K-Kombanwa, Gov. Tanaka-san.” Kazuya bowed slightly as he faced the baldy old man politely.
“Oh! Yo! Kame-kun. How are you?” the old man smiled at him.
“Fine…” Kazuya smiled back.
When his parents and the Gov. were out from his sight, he put the phone back to his ear.
“Hello, Jin?” He called out but to his dismay, he only the dial tone answered him.

“Oh! Jin, come in. You surprise me.”

“Hai! Hai! I’ll take care of Kazu-chan~!” Jin said happily as he childishly saluted at Shizuku who chuckled lightly.
He hurriedly walked to go upstairs but on his way, he met another person along the way, Kazuya’s dad, Miroku.
“Kombanwa, Miroku Tou-san”
“Jin? Why are you here?” Miroku asked curiously, a bit shocked.
“Er… N-Nande?” Jin asked back, confused.
“I thought you are sick?”
Jin remembered the so-called ‘sickness’ he has. He automatically put his hand to his belly and rubbed it gently. “I-I feel better now. I already drink medicine for my stomached. Ha-Ha.” He chuckled softly, trying to put his best act.
The old man furrowed his eye brows, “Jin? Are you sure you’re okay? I didn’t know that medicine for stomached can cure migraine.”
“Mi-Migraine?”
“Yeah, Kazuya told us you can’t come here ‘coz you have migraine. Well, I just want you two to meet Gov. Tanaka-san.”
“Ah… Hai! It’s Migraine! Ha-Ha! Gomen ne, Tou-san… I think I drank to much medicine that’s why I feel kind of dizzy, Ha-Ha! My bakaness is on again. Ha-Ha.” Jin flushed as he scratched his head embarrassingly.
“You should be resting right now, you can still visit Kazuya anytime you want.” The old man said worriedly.
“Ehehe… I missed him, Tou-san. Can’t help myself not to see him for just a day.”
“Oh, well… You really love my son, aren’t you? That’s good! Take good care of him, okay? Or else…” Miroku gave the younger man a meaningful stare.
“Oh! Hai! Hai! ROGER! I’ll take good care of him! Leave it to me!” Jin saluted seriously.
“I know you will. Kazuya’s in his room. He’s a bit moody right now.” Miroku shook his head.

“No, I’m not. Otou-san and Okaa-san just pissed me off. They keep on asking me if you can come. I got tired of it so I stayed here.”
“Ow~ OH! Kazu! Next time you’re going to give a fake illness, choose only one then stick with it, okay? I panicked back there. I really looked like stupid.”
Kazuya chuckled. “Ha-Ha. You’re always baka, Bakanishi. Ha-Ha. Well, I did it on purpose.”
“Mou~ Kazu-chan~ you’re so mean! You’re dad might think he’ll have an abnormal future son-in-law.” Jin pouted.

They fell silent.
“Kazu…” Jin called out softly.
“Hmm?”
“What are you thinking of right now?” Jin asked seriously.
“Nothing that concerns you,” Kazuya denied. “Why do you ask?”
“Nothing, you’re so deep in thought. Gomen ne… for putting you in this crazy situation. I know you’re miserable and-”
Kazuya cut the older man off. “I will never be miserable as long as I’m with you,” he said sincerely but he was shocked to what he had just said. He looked up nervously into Jin’s brown orbs.

This kind of action Kazuya made gave a sign for Jin to wander his hands through the younger man’s body. Kazuya didn’t mind the older man’s wandering hands as they moved slowly up to his shirt and teasingly began to undo his shirt buttons.
Kazuya bit his lower lip because of the sensation he was experiencing. Jin kissed him gently in every part of his face down to his neck. He heard the older man moaned his name. And it’s like music to his ear.
He forgot about himself. He didn’t care what will happen when they continue this passionate kisses and touches. At this moment, he let his heart be in charge atop of his head.
I don’t care anymore…
Kazuya didn’t pull back when the older man took off his shirt. He felt his body heat up when Jin’s lips roamed his chest and teasingly licked his nipples. His own hands started to wander through the older man’s body as if memorizing every part of it.
“I love you…” he moaned unconsciously. He slowly opened his eyes when he felt the older man’s warmth left him. He stared confusingly at the other. He swiftly cupped Jin’s face.
“I-I’m not Pi.” Jin uttered as he quickly made a distance between them.
“What?” He asked, confused.
“Next time you allow someone to kiss you, don’t ever close your eyes so that you won’t get confused who are you responding to.”
Kazuya furrowed his eye brows. He furiously clenched his fist madly. He wanted to deny Jin’s accusation but his anger got atop on him.
“You’re a fine one to talk!” Kazuya retorted. “I’m not stupid, Jin. You think I didn’t know you’re thinking someone else while you’re kissing me huh? DAMN IT! I’m not numb!”
The older man was taken aback.
“I was such a poor substitute, wasn’t I?” the younger man continued mockingly. “Well, I’m so sorry for disappointing you. Forgive me if I’m not as good as one of your girlfriends!” he added sarcastically.
“I’m sorry, Kazu…” Jin apologized. “Kissing you was a terrible mistake…”
Those words stabbed directly to Kazuya’s heart. He hurriedly put his clothes back. He avoided looking at the other. A tear fell from his eye.
“I’m so sorry, Kazu…” the older man repeated. “I forgot. We both forgot. Let’s leave it at that.”
Then again, the younger felt another stabbed to his swollen heart. What? He forgot? We both forgot? What was that? Is it like the other day when he kissed me? It’s just a mistake too, isn’t it? He terribly missing his girlfriends, isn’t it? Kazuya thought painfully.
Suddenly his tears fell uncontrollably, he tried to wipe it all away but every time he tried to they just fall again.
Jin was about to touch him.
“Get out, Jin.” He said with hurtful tone.
“Kazu… it doesn’t have to be this way.” The older man pleaded.
“I said get out!” He shouted, he can no longer hold his anger anymore. Jin dejectedly obeyed and left.

A stupid little scene (including me! *laughs*):
“ARGH! THAT BAKANISHI! Why did he keep on hurting my Kame-chan!!! ARGH!” Pi-chan angrily clenched his fist.
“Hold on! Relax Pi-chan!!! You can’t do anything! You’re not on the story anymore! Remember you already broke up with him! You’re just baka like Bakanishi!” Jemae-chan smacked Pi-chan’s head.
“ITAI! Mou~! I’m not that stupid like him ne!!! And why did he even kiss my Kame-chan! Argh! I’m going to kill him!” Pi-chan wiggled like a baby.
“Will you stop that? And yes you are! You’re stupid like him! You’re the best of friends after all! And Oi~! Don’t kill him or you’ll have to face Jin’s fans! And even Kame-chan’s fans! And oh! I’m one of them! So if you killed him… I’m going to kill you too!” Jemae-chan smirked evilly.
“EH?! I thought you’re a fan of mine?” Pi-chan tilted his head.
“Yeah, I’m a fan of yours too… but I love AKAME!” Jemae-chan cheered on.
“Eh?! You’re so mean! You chose them over me???” Pi-chan pouted.
“Hai! What’s wrong with that? You have a problem with that ne?” Jemae-chan gave Pi-chan a meaningful look.
“A-Ah… N-No… he-he-he… jya, I’ll go now ne? Just continue writing the story… ahihihi…” Pi-chan scratched his head.
“Good. Jya, hope you enjoy this chapter ne? 2 more chapters to go! Pi-chan and I will go now. You still have to buy me melon bread, Pi-chan!”
“Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Okay! Konkon!”
“Ja ne!” Jemae-chan waves along with Pi-chan. ^________^
