He doesn't hate you," said Hiro. "The proof is that your relationship is still fine right now, isn't it."
"Hiro..."
"What."
Fushimi gave a faint smile. "I want to see your son soon," he said. "I mean, my son too. A family gathering before we move on."
"...well..." said Hiro. "So let's put the preparations back again?" he asked for sure.
"Is it okay?" asked Fushimi back.
Hiro took a sip of his cereal slowly. "Hmm."
"Seriously are you okay?"
"Meetings are also part of the preparations right?" Hiro said rhetorically. "I also want to hear their opinion in person."
Fushimi was relieved for a moment.
"Oh, yeah... My son doesn't seem to have a problem living anywhere," said Hiro. "So you are free to choose. Want to stay at my place, or we live at yours."
"Is that true?"
"He told me a few days ago."
"Oh..." said Fushimi. "Even though he never had an opinion about our relationship directly. But hearing this, it doesn't seem bad to think he really agrees."
"Hmph, what have you been worried about all this time?"
"I..."
Fushimi suddenly remembered the incident when Fuyu was still missing. Strange but true, he couldn't find his son anywhere. And even though he was able to track his last transaction in shops with a machine, he himself didn't understand why the card that Fuyu brought was blocked.
odd. After all, how could he have intentionally blocked the card? Fushimi was indeed annoyed that she couldn't win Fuyu's heart about her relationship with Hiro, but had the heart to leave her own son... definitely not an option she had ever thought of. Because he is a grown man. Then why should you take such a childish attitude?
Hiro also read the expression on his face. "Fuu, is there something on your mind?" he asked. "If so can you tell me?"
Fushimi looked into Hiro's eyes. Her boyfriend is not the sweet type to his partner. But he knows when to pay attention when it feels necessary. So, why not just tell someone as reliable as him?
"About the cards..." said Fushimi. "I don't understand why the card that Fuyu brought was blocked, Hiro-kun."
"You mean?"
"The credit card my son brought with him when he ran away from home," said Fushimi. "You trust me right... If I'm not the culprit of that kind of blocking?"
Hiro was silent because of it.
"...you know? When I met him, my son complained because he thought it was me," said Fushimi. "And of course I feel bad. Because Aki said he had an accident. Oh... I really saw a big scar on his arm, Hiro."
"Okay I believe," said Hiro. Unable to take it any longer, he put down the cereal cup. move on. Then approached Fushimi and hugged her head gently. "So, it was just a misunderstanding. But you've changed the card now right?"
"Of course."
"Good," said Hiro. Then looked at Fushimi's face who looked up at him. "Then what else is still bothering you?"
"I..." said Fushimi. "If not me, could it be Nanashi, Hiro?"
DEG
Nanashi. His first ex-wife who got divorced due to out-of-bounds behavior when Fuyu was 3 years old.
Nanashi who is like a bitch.
Nanashi who when Fushimi was busy working outside, the woman had the heart to take drugs secretly at home, sakau, and then tortured little Fuyu with a stick broom.
Fushimi himself did not think why his wife could turn out like that. Maybe it's wrong again, right? One of them is rarely at home. And when facing that reality, Fuyu's little body was already battered full of wounds and needed her action
Too bad for the boy. He may not remember bad memories from his past, but as a father figure... Fushimi has never regretted his decision to divorce Nanashi until now.
"Nanashi?"
"...Nanashi."
"Your ex-first wife?"
"Hmm..."
Hiro had guessed that because it was impossible for Fushimi's second wife who had a child and had an accident to do that.
Fushimi closed her eyes. He also put down his cereal cup and hugged Hiro's waist back.
"Sorry to mention his name at this time, Hiro," said Fushimi. "But I really can't stand having bad thoughts about him right now. I mean, when has he not bothered me since then. Ahhh... Maybe he's still mad about not getting custody of Fuyu, right?"
"About that..."
"Hiro, no matter what happens you will always be with me, right...." Fushimi said again.
Hiro squeezed the hair on the back of Fushimi's head. excited. "Why ask for such a thing, Fool," he said. "Of course I will. Does it make sense for me to let you?"
Fushimi also laughed at that.
"That's it..." said Hiro while patting Fushimi's head. "Hey, by the way... It's already 6 in the morning. Do you want to take a break and I'll write you a letter of permission to go to the office, or do you want to go, hm?"
Fushimi let go of his arm. "Of course to the office," he said. "Today there is a special promotion if someone enters 214 days in a row. So, how could I waste it especially for my son"
"Good," said Hiro. "Then take a shower. But don't push yourself. I'll prepare breakfast for you later."
"Huh?"
"You think your recovering body can eat just cereal?" said Hiro sarcastically. "Even if you think yes, I won't let you. Got it?"
"Aha, okay," said Fushimi. And suddenly he was very excited just because he remembered one secret that few people know about this cold-faced man. That is, he is good at cooking. Because when I was in school, I was a mentor for 3 clubs and one of them was in the cooking section. "Then may I request the menu?"
"Sure," said Hiro. "What do you want, hm?"
"Tonkatsu?" said Fushimi. "And a few pieces of salmon that Omiyage made."
"Good," said Hiro. Then a chuckle was heard. "...your choice makes me work a little harder later."
"Haha. It's okay right?"
"Certain."
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower now."
After Fushimi passed, Hiro actually did what his lover ordered. He didn't even hesitate to grab an apron, put it on, and make a noise in the kitchen with the sound of a knife while Fushimi aborted in the shower in the bathroom.
Ahh... Weird right?
Truly the feelings of two grown men that many would not easily understand.
Fushimi just didn't think he could fall in love with Hiro's figure. Moreover, the man also had one son. However, one day... Of course something had happened.
.
.
.
Remembering the past, actually makes Fushimi object because it only contains ugliness. Especially if it starts from the point of view of his relationship with Nanashi. However, if he forgot all that... Actually there was something more fun before.
During college.
When Fushimi was still in the first grade and had just passed the entrance exam. He met Hiro in one of the same material classes, shook hands, said his name, and Fushimi remembered praising the man for trying to get his parents into business.
"My name is Hiroyuki Haneda," said Hiro. "Nice to meet you."
