'How are you, Jiro?'
A lady's voice can be heard coming from the phone with a hint of provocation.
"Not too great, how about you, Mira?" Jiro asked with a grim expression, he didn't expect that his plan to spread fake rumors would actually fail and in turn, Atsushi's fame rose into an even greater height.
Hearing the dismay behind his voice, the lady laughed with amusement, wondering why this guy is in such a bad mood.
'What happened this past few days while I was busy?'
It seems that Jiro trusts this lady very much as he told all the events that occurred this past few days, he was growing irritated with every sentence.
'Hmm, should I investigate him?'
"Is that alright?"
'Of course, just this once, give me three full days'
Noticing that the call has ended, Jiro placed his phone back to his pocket and an evil smirk was displayed in his face, glad that it ended in his favor.
"Good morning Jiro"
Only erasing that smirk in his face when he heard his beloved's voice from a distance, turning around and saw Akane running toward him.
Akane smiled at him and he smiled back, she's such a good lady, why does she have to like that heartless guy?!
"Let's go" Akane said and both of them went in the car before heading for class.
It didn't take too long before they arrived in their destination, braking right in front of the school gates, the passengers opened the door and went out before they set their foot in the school, students stare at them and gossip about them but the pair didn't pay any attention to them.
They spot Atsushi and his group walking together, Akane stared at them while Jiro just took a glance at them before pulling the lady away.
"Hello guys" Rin greeted the others.
"Hey, how are you guys?" Yuki asked and smiled at them.
"We're doing great, how about you guys?" Rin replied with a casual grin and Atsushi nodded at them.
"Same as usual" Leo replied with his gentle voice and a cute smile, Yuki also smiled when she saw that cute smile in his visage, while Mina smiled and nodded at them.
The group slowly walked toward their room as they talked with one another and on the way there, some students took the courage to approach Atsushi and apologize to him for believing the rumors from yesterday and he told them that it was alright with a sweet smile.
The group finally arrived in the room after all the things that happened earlier, the students greeted Atsushi once again with a wave and grins.
Jiro glared at Atsushi as he once again processed that his plan failed, what a shame, but soon, another would be coming! he chuckled and Akane looked at him with confusion.
"Haha, it's nothing" He grinned at her when he noticed that she was looking at him, and the way he laughed, he felt a bit embarrassed but the feeling soon went away and the teacher arrived.
The class proceeded without a single disturbance as always and the next teacher arrived with a good mood, and so, everyone got to do what they want during this subject.
Knowing the possibility that the teacher might be in a bad mood if they became too loud so they spoke in whispers and kept quiet, others rested on their seat, drawing, reading, or writing and occasionally spoke with their friends.
Yuki and Leo were leaning against the wall next to the window and are talking with one another, both are obviously having fun, Rin and Yuu are playing together with their phones while Atsushi is just laying on the desk and taking a nap while Mina sat on her seat as she drew in her notebook, Akane and Jiro spoke with one another while the teacher looked at her phone with a happy expression while sometimes glancing around.
'They're such a good student' She thought as the students did their things quietly as they can so they won't offend their teacher.
The school ended and the group gathered once again outside of class
"Where do we go?" Mina asked and everyone thought hard.
"Shall we go to our house?" Atsushi recommended and everyone looked at him.
"Ooh that works, we can do our homework and maybe study together after eating and playing, if you want, you guys should sleepover" Rin commented, Atsushi agreed in silence and the others thought about it.
"That sounds great" Leo agreed with a nod, as he thought of what to possibly bring in Atsushi's house.
"I'll come as well" Yuki replied with an obvious excitement shown in her face.
"Sure" Yuu replied in a rather hesitant
"Me too" It seems like everyone is going to Atsushi's house.
The plan was to let the others go home first and get their things to bring on their house and get some things and meet up on the park, everyone agreed to the plan and they all went back to their houses to prepare for tonight.
Atsushi held his phone up and checked his inbox before clicking the name Kyouya but before he even gets to type a word, a hand tapped his back and he turned around only to see that the guy he was about to text appeared right behind him.
"Kyouya?" Atsushi said, not even surprised about how Kyouya can find him anywhere.
"Here I am" Kyouya said in a teasing voice but Atsushi ignored it and asked the former.
"Would you like to come to my house?" Atsushi invited and Kyouya thought about it.
"I will come even if you don't invite me" He replied and pulled Atsushi in his chest, the latter's back was supported by the other's arm while his other hand held on Atsushi's wrist, The latter looked at him with a surprised look on his face, obviously not expecting this situation, it made his heart flutter and it beats with a crazy rhythm.
"Ehem" Rin cleared his throat and Atsushi turned to look at him who was almost forgotten and the younger man pushed on Kyouya's chest to escape the grip on his waist, he awkwardly pats on his thighs and fake cough as he stood up straight while Kyouya looked at Rin with an obvious look of disappointment.
"Would you stop flirting in front of me?" Rin asked with a sarcastic smile, probably reaching his limit after seeing this pair flirting every time they are together, it really make him desire for a lover to flirt with him as well, in short, he is feeling bitter.
"How have you been Atsushi?" Kyouya asked with a cheeky grin.
"I'm good?" The other replied with an uncertain answer but still smiled back at Kyouya, the latter's cheekiness lessened as he felt worried for Atsushi after hearing his uncertain answer and by his tone, it really makes one think that he bottled up most of his problems.
Noticing the slight change, Atsushi smiled gently at him and made some small talks, Rin thought nothing about what happened just now, he didn't notice anything weird and thought that Atsushi was bored from waiting for their friends.
"How old are you now Rin?"
"Oh, I turned 22 this January" Rin replied in confusion, not really knowing why Atsushi asked him about his age but he thought nothing much of it.
"What about you Atsushi?"
"I'll be 21 soon"
"Oh? I'm two years older" Kyouya said and Atsushi looked at him.
"You're 22 as well?"
"Yep, my birthday would be around November" Kyouya added and Atsushi looked at him.
"Oh yeah, your birthday is around the end of the school year" Rin looked at Atsushi.
"Hmm? so your birthday is in July, I'll definitely be there" the oldest male winked at the youngest male, shamelessly flirting in front of Rin once again.
They continued talking with one another and for some reason, Kyouya has been polite toward Rin and Atsushi finds it funny, he has no idea why Kyouya does it but Rin was rather tense from the oldest polite manner, knowing that he is younger than him, he felt rude toward someone who is older than him.
And not noticing the time, the others arrived and saw the three of them conversing and from a distance, Rin took notice of them and stood up to walk toward them.
"Who is that guy?" Yuki asked Rin when he reached their sides, the latter looked back at the pair and turned back to Yuki.
"It's Atsushi's boyfriend" He replied without hesitation, he has no doubt that the pair are dating one another so he wasn't hesitant at all and hearing his answer, the ladies squeaked, suppressing their urge to cackle and both of them held one another's hands as they jumped with extreme excitement and seeing their reactions, the men were confused and they walked their way toward the pair.
"Well then, shall we go?" Atsushi asked when they arrived and everyone nodded and before Atsushi even take a step toward the car, he was pulled by Kyouya, he looked at him with confusion.
"We'll ride the motor!" The older man said and the younger man looked at him.
"Sure" He agreed since he was sure that they wouldn't fit the car, so why not ride with him, he doesn't have to struggle with seats.
"Alright, see you there" Rin said and walked away with the others, the ladies would often look back to observe them with a face full of excitement.
The pair slowly walked toward the motor, both are not worried that they'll arrive too late but in fact, Kyouya is a very professional with driving the motorcycle and upon reaching the motor, Kyouya put a helmet on the other and put his own helmet next and the pair set off with Atsushi's arms wrapped around Kyouya.
They arrived at the same time as Rin and the others did, everyone went into the house with politeness and they prepared the things for the kitchen.
Leo brought raw beef to oven it, Mina brought the syrup and flour while Yuki brought fruits and Yuu got the ice creams, everyone seems to be preparing for a small feast, Rin went to the kitchen after changing his clothes, same as Atsushi, as for the others, they have already changed back at their own house.
Leo then took a food storage and he took some garlic, crushing them and ridding them of the cover before washing it with clean water as he put it on the food storage, he took the soy sauce and vinegar from the cabinet as he poured the soy sauce in the food storage before putting some vinegar after that he washed the beef and placed it on the sauce, it short, he's planning to marinate it and occasionally turning it around.
On the other hand, the ladies are taking care of the deserts, setting the flour, eggs, milk, and a small amount of sugar which sweetens it a little bit.
They took a large bowl and put the flour first and the egg before mixing them, when they saw that it was mixed well, they then added the milk and the amounts of milk depends on how thick the batter you prefer it to be, and preferably, it's better if it's thick and not that watery because it would turn out great and much easier to cook and flip, the ladies took turns whisking the batter and after they finished, they let it sit on the spot, it would be saved for later.
As for Rin, he took the responsibility of cooking the rice, Yuu just placed the ice creams on the freezer while Atsushi watched them do their things, not knowing what to help them with, only helping when they asked him for the ingredients they're missing and putting it in the table and Kyouya felt some responsibility and cleaned the living room, getting rid of the mess on the floor, cleaned up the table and the sofa.
An idea struck Atsushi when he saw Kyouya cleaning the living room, he slowly approached the tv and his eyes stuck on his game console and took out a bunch of CDs from a cabinet in the living room before putting it next to the console.
"If you guys want to play on the console, I have four connected controllers, would you guys like to play?" Atsushi asked and without any hesitation, everyone agreed, this is once in a lifetime!
And soon, everyone sat on the sofa as they decide on which game to play, they chose a game which allows 4 players to play, and occasionally, Leo would stand up and turn the beef upside down and opened the oven before setting it into the highest heat which is 250 Celsius and let it heat up for a bit, he took the tray and rinsed it with water before drying it off with a kitchen towel, he then put the beef on the tray separately and placed the tray inside the oven before returning to the living room.
Everyone played as they watch the beef from time to time and when they got bored of the games, they played board games or mobile games, there were screams and curses everywhere as they felt frustration and excitement as they played together.
They only finished playing when the beef was already tender and ready to be served, they set the table, Mina and Yuki cut the beef small enough for them to be able to chew on and placed them into a large bowl and placed them in the middle of the table and placed a serving spoon on it.
Rin served everyone a bowl full of rice and placed them in every seat and Leo took the kitchen paper and placed a piece of it next to the bowls and Atsushi placed their chopsticks on top of the kitchen papers and Yuu placed the cups on their sits, the water filter is placed in the middle of the table and after setting everything up, they sat down.
"Itadakimasu" Everyone said and they began to eat.
"Mm, this taste awesome!" Yuki first complimented and Leo smiled at her timidly.
"The taste is actually great, it's not too salty and you can taste a hint of sourness and the smell makes one really hungry!" She added and Mina nodded, agreeing to what she said, she loves to eat and it honestly tastes good, who is she to deny it?
"Atsushi is definitely tastier" Kyouya made a random comment and everyone turned to look at him, Atsushi looked over with embarrassment after hearing his shameful remark.
"Stop it" He said flustered and seeing this reaction, everyone felt a little bitter and proceeds on eating to forget the bitter feelings.
They slowly savored the taste and satisfied their stomach and knowing that they still have deserts, they prevented themselves to eat too much, the ladies were finished much earlier so they stood up and proceed on cooking the pancake.
Yuu followed next and prepared the fruit, he took a large bowl and placed the bananas around it and he took the ice creams out of the freezer and scoop them up before placing it into the bowl inside the circle of bananas, once the bowl was filled, he took out the strawberries and placed it on the side of the bowl and found a container full of sprinkles and took a small bowl to place the chocolate chips in it before setting them on the table and new sets of bowls were placed on every seat along with the pancakes placed in small plates, forks, knives, and teaspoon were placed next to their plate and everyone sat down again as they savored everything slowly.
"I think Atsushi is still the sweetest" Kyouya commented once again after taking the first bite.
'Why do you have to flirt in front of so many people?' Rin thought and felt the urge to just rip this man apart with his bitterness.
Yuu just chuckled nervously while Leo smiled with a twitching mouth and the ladies smiled, their hearts were beating with excitement but they still felt that this man is too shameless.
It was already 10 when everything was finished washing in the dishwasher and after that, everyone went to their respective rooms, Mina and Yuki are together in one room, Yuu went to sleep in Rin's room while Leo settled in the room next to Yuki's.
While Kyouya went straight for his beloved's room, Atsushi was very sleepy after having a fulfilling dinner but he still went to the bathroom and did everything he has to do before getting pulled into the bed along with Kyouya.
The peaceful night was filled with fun and satisfying memories and everyone closed their eyes as they relived everything from earlier and slept with satisfaction.
"Goodnight" The pair greeted one another as they fell into a deep sleep side to side.
