Summary: Taki shows up to help Maiko with her spring cleaning and gets an unexpected surprise.
Taki groaned softly to himself and rang the bell. He really couldn’t believe he agreed to help Maiko do her spring cleaning, even two months after they’d broken up. Why she needed his help in the first place was beyond him. He was about to turn around and leave when the door opened. To his surprise, however, it wasn’t Maiko who answered the door, but Ayaka. She made a face and opened the door wider.
“You’re here?” she demanded. Taki shoved his hands in his pockets, pushing past her and into the house.
“Yeah, great to see you too, Ayame.”
“Ayaka,” she corrected, but he ignored her.
“Whatever,” he glanced around. “Where’s Maiko?”
“She went shopping,” Ayaka stated, bitterly, shutting the door behind him.
“You mean I’m stuck here with just you for company?” he grimaced.
“This isn’t a picnic for me either,” she told him, crossing her arms over her chest.
“What does she want us to do?” Taki asked, changing the subject so that it wouldn’t become any more unpleasant than it already was.
“Clean the kitchen,” she told him, pointing. “Then we need to hook up the T.V.”
“The hell?” he groaned. “Fine… shit…” Taki ran a hand through his hair and looked away from the girl in the room.
“This is weird,” she said.
“You’re telling me,” Taki agreed. “Why’d she call us if she wasn’t planning to stay herself?”
“She wanted someone to do it for her,” Ayaka told him. “She likes to be in control. You should know that.” She paused for a moment before letting out a frustrated cry. “I’m so mad… and now you’re here!”
“How do you think I feel? I’m with my ex’s new… girlfriend,” Taki grimaced. “Feel like drinking lighter fluid too?” Taki crossed his arms, smirking as Ayaka looked surprised at his question. “Or maybe just turn the gas on and light a match?”
“You… I… what?”
“Thought so.” Taki smirked and moved over to the T.V. to see if he could fix it.
“When you two were together did you… follow her around… like a lovesick puppy?” she sounded so ashamed, Taki just couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh, you bet. Glad I’m past that.” She frowned.
“Did she ever… you know… flirt with other boys?”
“Bingo, baby,” she stated, grinning, fiddling with the wires. “Looks like you’ve got it bad.”
“I feel sick…”
“Better you than me,” he said, standing up, using the remote to turn on the T.V.
“Fixed. Boy, am I glad she doesn’t have me by the balls anymore.” He tossed the remote onto the couch.
“Thanks…” Taki turned then and headed for the door. “Where are you going?”
“Home,” he stated, smirking back at her. “I just remembered that I’m not attached anymore.” He flashed her another grin before leaving, shutting the door behind him.
