"Pass me the beer", "Hey There buddy!", "Hahahh there's our man!" "Oh my! you look lovely young lady!", "So, how was he on bed?" People are gathering around us, teasing us, congratulating us even go as far as to bring presents for us. They even planned the whole thing. How affectionate people can be to the people who are not even close to them. I guess love is not the only thing keeping a relation alive. There's duty, affection, care, most importantly trust. I'll go even as far as to say love isn't even necessary for a relation. Yes, it is a primary thing yet it's not the most important thing actually. Which brings me to a question. Will I be able to be a good dad? Let me rephrase that. Will I be able to take the duties of a whole family? I keep searching for an answer. Meanwhile, a big mug of beer appears in front of me.
"Why so gloomy baby boy?", says Yashiro.
"I'm not.", I stick my head on the table.
"Drink up, it's getting warm."
"Hm.", I take a sip.
"So, what is it?"
"I'm just worried if I can take all this pressure."
"This ain't pressure bruh."
"What is it then?"
"It's just life, rather the mere slice of it."
I look at him with the beer mug in my mouth. He looks like an old man who gone through many things in life. Kind of like Kaigara. I wonder how similar aged they both are.
"It's warm."
"What?", he asks.
"The beer I mean."
"Same as life, it's warm when it needs not be and cold when it shouldn't be."
A sip of life huh? I take a sip of beer, it really does taste like unwanted warmth of life.
"Whatchu guys doing here?", Tachibana comes to us.
"Oh, our lady is here. Can I offer you a sit perhaps.", Yashiro asks.
"Sure."
"Would you like the sit I warmed up for you?", Yashiro stands up and offers her his sit.
"That's really sweet of you, thank you.", Tachibana smiles.
"Aey, back off. She's mine.", I say with an angry accent.
"Aww, our big guy is jealous.", Yashiro teases me.
Tachibana laughs blushing, "Stop it bruh!"
"So, how did those butt muscles of his perform on bed?", Yashiro asks Tachibana.
"Hey!! Enough already.", I say.
"You'll have to find it out yourself I guess.", Tachibana says laughing.
"What?! I'm not gay!!!", I almost scream.
"Then gay with me bruh!", Yashiro looks at me with a gayish vibe.
"That's it. I'm leaving.", I try to get up.
"Hey, we are just teasing you.", Yashiro stops me.
Tachibana just keeps laughing.
I sit down pouting and drink the whole glass while looking at her laugh from the corner of the glass. She looks so beautiful while laughing. It's good to see her laugh again. Two days it has been since I saw her smile. You know what, maybe I should just work my ass off, to see that smile on her face everyday for the rest of my life. Man, rest of my life sounds like a lot. I wouldn't really complain, she is pretty afterall. Maybe having kids and settling down isn't a bad thing in the end. I just hope it lasts.
