1- Office AU.
Ryo sat in his armchair, and drank his coffee. He sighed.
It had been a really long and tiring day for him.
As the CEO’s personal assistant, he had to be strict with everything. And of course, satisfy at his boss’s every need. EVERY NEED.
---
Working at Ueda Real Estate Property is not an easy task.
Being the most powerful and richest businessman from Japan, and one of the richest of the world, Ueda Tatsuya, 30 years old, is admired and idolized by tons and tons of persons.
Handsome, smart, young, Tatsuya has everything he could ask for. Inheriting the business from his father, he made it even bigger than his father could dream of. Of course the latter is really proud of his son.
“Could you give this to Ueda-san please? It’s important.” One of the managers asked him one early morning as he just stepped out of the elevator.
Placing the piles of files in his arms, the man smiled widely and ran off to his own task.
Meaning making money. A lot of money that will eventually go directly in Ueda’s bank account.
Ryo sighed. It’s 8 am and he’s sighing.
---
“Ryo, I need you. Help me with this?” Tatsuya whispered gently in Ryo’s ear, during lunch.
He moaned slightly, as Ueda’s fingers unbuttoned his shirt.
“Tatsuya, I need-“ Kazuya opened the door of his associate’s office, and interrupted them.
“Be serious for once, will you?” He said, lecturing the other.
“What do you want? I’m busy.” Tatsuya answered, without looking at his friend.
“Can you stop doing that, while I talk to you for a minute? It’s disturbing.” Kazuya frowned, seeing his friend kept on licking Ryo’s stomach.
Tatsuya sighed. He placed his arms around Ryo’s waist and hugged him. Turning his face to look at his friend, he stuck his tongue out. “What is it?”
“Ryo can you go outside?” Kazuya stared at him.
“Ye-“
“No he can’t. What do you want Kazuya?” Tatsuya glared at him for disturbing his peaceful time with his personal assistant.
“Uh- okay. Well Pi made this. I thought you could look into it, it’s interesting.” Kazuya placed a folder on the desk. “It’s about you know what. Look and tell me what you think later, okay?” he winked and walked away, closing the door after him.
“Stupid project.” Ueda growled. “Mmm, where were we, lovely?” he moaned and kissed his lover passionately.

Being Ueda Tatsuya’s personal assistant is not an easy task.
But he can’t complain either, can he?

2- School AU.
8 years old Tatsuya is going to school with his friend Kazuya.
As he opened his shoes box, he found an envelope.
“What’s that?” his friend asked, eyes shining. “Love letter?”
“Don’t be stupid, Kazu!” Tatsuya pouted, and smacked the other on the head.
“I know it is! Look a heart sticker!” Kazu pointed at the red mark on the envelope.
“But…” Tatsuya blushed.
“Teehee ~” Kazuya giggled, and took Ueda’s arm to go to their class. “Come on, we’re late!”
---
It is time to go home, but it is raining heavily.
Kazuya had to go somewhere with his parents so they could not take Tatsuya home.
“Damn it’s raining.” Tatsuya pouted, and sat on the bench at the school entrance. “I don’t have an umbrella.” He stared down at his feet.
“What are you waiting?” Someone asked, startling him.
“Eh? Oh. I can’t go home, I don’t have an umbrella.” He blushed, embarrassed.
“I have one.” The person showed a blue umbrella with yellow cloud on it.
“Oh it’s so cute!!” Tatsuya looked at it with a wide smile. “But you need it too. So I can’t take it, but thank you.” He smiled gently at the other boy.
“I can accompany you to your home, if you’re okay with it. Your parents will be worried, if you don’t come back.”
“Would you really do that?” Tatsuya asked, staring at the other.
“Y-Yes.” The boy blushed madly, and turned himself around. “So let’s go, then?”
“Thank you!” Tatsuya beamed happily.
They walked side by side along the river. It was still pouring and people were rushing back home.
After walking for about 30 minutes, they finally arrived in front of Ueda’s house.
“I am living here. Thank you very much for sharing your umbrella, and accompanying me home.” Tatsuya said and kissed the other on his cheek.
“You’re welcome. Err… I’ll go home then. Bye bye.” The boy blushed deeply, waved his hand and ran away.
“Who was it, Tatsuya?” His mother, who opened the door, asked him, letting him enter the house.
“A boy from my school. He shared his umbrella and accompanied me home, since I did not have one.”
“Is he in your class?”
“Nope, I think I saw him in Koki’s class.” Tatsuya answered, and walked to the kitchen. “Tummy is hungry ~”
“Yes, okay.” His mother giggled, and started preparing something for her son to eat.
---
The next day, during lunch, Tatsuya and Kazuya were eating their bento in the canteen, as Koki joined them.
“I did not know you and Ryo are friends, Tat-chan. You did not tell me!” Koki whined, sitting next to his friend.
“Who is Ryo?” Kazuya asked, his mouth full of rice.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Koki” Tatsuya mumbled, poking his omurice with his fork.
“But Junno saw you two going home together, yesterday!” Koki exclaimed.
“Oh! Is he the one that shared his umbrella with me?” Tatsuya stared at his friend, while Kazuya still ate his onigiri.
“Someone shared an umbrella with you? I bet it’s the same person as the letter!” Kazuya flailed his arms and giggled.
They were quarreling and laughing together, when someone suddenly appeared near them.
“Hi.”
“Oh! Hello Ryo-kun! Come join us?” Koki said, poking Tatsuya on the side.
“So your name is Ryo-kun? My name is Tatsuya. Thank you again for yesterday.” He blushed a little and turned his head the other way, to not look at the boy.
“Hello, I’m Kazuya ~ and you are the one that gave Tatchan a love letter, right?” Kazuya blurted, finishing his onigiri, he took his bottle of water and drank some.
Ryo did not answered at the question, and just sat near Tatsuya. “Your omurice seems really yummy.”
The two boys blushed from embarrassment while Kazuya and Koki giggled excitedly.
---
Tatsuya put his things in his bags and got out of class with Kazuya. They were going home, when he spotted Ryo, waiting outside.
“Hi again.” He said shyly.
“I’ll wait for you at the entrance, okay? Don’t get too long ~ bye Ryo-kun!” Kazuya chuckled and walked away, waving his hands.
“Did you want to tell me something?” Tatsuya asked, playing with his own hands.
“Yes. If possible, can we be friend?” Ryo’s face was red like a tomato, and Tatsuya had a hard time not laughing but his face was not any better.
“Of course we can! Then, let’s go home together with Kazuya? The three of us ~” Tatsuya took Ryo’s hand in his and they walked out of the school.
---
10 years later.
“Do you remember what you wrote in your letter?” Tatsuya asked abruptly, one day.
“What letter?” Ryo stared at his boyfriend, as if he was stupid.
“The one you put in my shoe box when I was 8.” Tatsuya blushed at the memory.
“Err… nope.” Ryo looked at him for a few seconds, then kissed him on the lips slowly.
I always dreamed to be the prince that would wake the princess up with a kiss.

3- Bookshop AU.
Nishikido Ryo is Ueda’s bookshop new trainee. He successfully graduated from university two months ago.
Ueda-papa and Ueda-mama liked him at first glance, that’s why they agreed into employing him as a trainee. Ryo was to begin next Monday.
---
8:30am, Ueda-papa opened the bookshop and began preparing some books to be delivered to some over places. Once Ryo arrived, that was his first mission.
It went like that for one week. Every morning, Ryo would go deliver some books and when he came back, he had to help rearrange the bookshop with Ueda-mama while Ueda-papa was at the counter.
---
One morning, Ryo was surprised to see an unfamiliar face in front of the bookshop.
A boy was sitting in front of the door. He had black spiky hair, and seems like an angry face?
Ryo nodded at him and waited for Ueda-papa to arrive.
“So you’re their new trainee?” the boy asked him.
“You know the owners of that bookshop? Yes I’m the new trainee since one week. Are you a client?” He asked, smiling.
“No.” The guy said, and sighed. “What is your name?”
“Nishikido Ryo. Nice to meet you!” Ryo bowed his head at the other man. “And you?”
“Tatsuya. Ueda Tatsuya. I’ll be in charge of you from today onward. Tsk.” Tatsuya growled, and got up to open the shop.
“Oh.” Ryo seemed confused. How come a boy about his age was to be in charge of him?
“My parents went on a trip for I don’t know how long. Might not get back anytime soon, if you ask me.”
“Oh. I see.” Ryo stared at his new boss.
“What do you usually do here?” He asked, sitting at the counter, looking around the shop as if he never been there.
“Well, I’m in charge of delivering books at places in the morning. And helping Ueda-mama to arrange the books newly arrived when I’m back. Ueda-papa is usually at the cash desk.” Ryo said, looking around.
“Ah. Then here, are the books, go deliver them, then.” Tatsuya said, placing a box of books in Ryo’s hands.
“Ok, I’ll be back soon.” He said cheerfully and went out.
“Yeah yeah. Tsk.” Ueda sighed. It’s not even 9am yet, and he’s already tired.
---
It went like that for 2 months. Tatsuya’s parents were not coming back.
They actually asked Tatsuya’s sister to take care of the shop, but she was busy and asked her brother instead.
Tatsuya is 2 years older than Ryo. He’s a novel writer.
“What kind of book do you write?” Ryo asked him one morning, as Ueda was sketching on a paper.
“Why do you ask?” Tatsuya glared at him.
“This doesn’t seem like it’s for the kids.” Ryo insisted, looking over Tatsuya’s shoulders.
“Exactly. So get out of my face!” Tatsuya barked, and slapped Ryo’s arm.
“Eh?! I’m not a kid!” Ryo barked back.
---
It’s been 6 months since Ueda’s parents went on a trip. Tatsuya is still taking care of the bookshop. Seems like they got a lot of new clients these past 2 months. Especially women.
Ryo discovered what kind of book Tatsuya writes, one day while the latter was not in the shop.
---
“Does your family knows that you’re writing this kind of books? Ryo asked as they were eating their lunch.
“Of course not!” Tatsuya pinched Ryo’s arm. “How did you know anyway?”
“I got curious and took a look at your manuscript the other day.” Ryo blushed.
“So?” Tatsuya looked away.
“It was… well… Interesting?” Ryo tried, looking shy.
“Interesting.” Tatsuya did not even looked at the other, and kept on eating his food.
“I did not know you where this way.” Ryo blushed again.
“Are you feeling disgusted?” Tatsuya stared at him without blinking.
“Eh. Nope. Not at all.” Ryo looked away, not looking at his boss. "The truth is I’m that way too.” He confessed.
“Ah.” Tatsuya blurted.
“Say, does your family knows about that?” Ryo tried not to ask too much questions, but the curiosity took the better of him.
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
---
Ryo was preparing to go home, when Tatsuya called him suddenly.
“What is it?” Ryo asked, going to see the other.
“Do you have someone you like at the moment?”
“No. Why?” Ryo looked confusedly at his boss.
“Great. Do you mind having a little experiment with me then? I need to try it for my new book.” Tatsuya asked, grinning evilly at his trainee.
“Experiment?” Ryo blushed at the implications.
“You’ll like it. I’m sure of it ~” Tatsuya giggled and took Ryo’s hand to the back.
---
The ‘little’ experiment became something big and before they could stop anything, they found themselves in love with the other.
Tatsuya’s parents came back about a year after.
They did not expect their son and new employee to be in an intimate relationship.
Not at all.
*******
4- Models AU.
Yamashita Tomohisa is the new genius photographer. His popularity is getting really high these past few months. He’s now working with pretty popular models like Nishikido Ryo or Ueda Tatsuya, the top 2 best models of Japan this year.
They had to pose for the annual summer calendar of some expensive clothing brand.
Being helped by his assistant, Kamenashi Kazuya, together they worked hard to take good photos of the two models. But it seems to be a hard task.
Nishikido Ryo and Ueda Tatsuya hate each other. Or more like they are competing for thefirst place.
Always arguing about this or that, stupid matters and nothing.
But Yamashita was smarter than them, and decided to make them do a DUET.
---
[NISHIKIDO RYO AND UEDA TATSUYA TOGETHER FOR ‘XXX’s ANNUAL SUMMER CALENDAR!!]
“Fuck you!” Ryo angrily screamed at his manager, throwing the paper harshly on the floor.
“Thank you.” Jin happily smirked at his model, and tapped him on the shoulder. “Don’t be mad, Ryo-chan it’s okay! He’s a good photographer. He will not let you do weird things to Uebo.”
“What do you mean by that? Did you forgot it’s the summer calendar? I will obviously have to be in underwear!! No way I’m doing that duet.” He slammed his hand on the table. “And him too.” He whispered more to himself.
“Hehehehe ~ do your best!” Jin sing-songed and walked away, leaving Ryo alone in the room.
“Asshole!”
---
A week later, at the studio, Ryo had no other choices but to comply and do the duet with his rival.
Yamashita made them do various poses but was not satisfied with any.
“Ok 5 minutes break. Kame, get me another film will you?”
“No problem!” Kazuya answered and went away.
“You idiot! Could you be even more stoic?! He told you to smile and you did what? A grimace! I don’t have time to deal with you! I’ll come back when you can do a SMILE!” Tatsuya angrily said to his partner and walked to his dressing room.
“…” Ryo sighed. It was useless.
Two hours later, they were still trying to do the shoot but Yamashita was still not satisfied. It seems like Ryo was not concentrated and kept having weird faces.
“OK! We’ll try again after lunch. See you at 2pm.” He announced and went away.
Tatsuya did not spare a glance at his co-worker and walked away.
“Ryo-chan, calm down! Why are you so nervous? You made Tatsuya angry.” Jin said gently, patting Ryo’s shoulder. “You’re hot, you’re strong, you even posed for a nude magazine the other day. What’s happening to you?” he smiled.
“You know what’s happening, idiot!” Ryo barked and walked away.
---
Tatsuya packed his bag as he was finished for the day. Yamashita decided to stop for the day since they could not do even one good photo.
As he opened his door to get out, he saw Ryo’s manager seemingly waiting for him.
“Hello, Tatsuya.” Jin said, smiling gently.
“What do you want?” Tatsuya snapped.
“You noticed that Ryo-chan was not so good today, right?” Jin sighed heavily.
“Not so good? Are you kidding? He was a total loser, good for nothing! I even wonder how he got second place!” Tatsuya put his bag on his shoulder and turned to leave. “I don’t have time for you. Good bye.”
“Wait!” Jin reached for his arm.
“What?!”
“Do you want Ryo-chan to be good at the shoot tomorrow?” Jin asked, playing with his hands.
“I don’t care about him! I just want to finish this damn calendar as soon as possible!”
“Then give him a little help?” Jin smiled widely. “Only you can help him overcome this.”
“What are you talking about? No way I’ll help some loser like him!” Tatsuya laughed at Jin.
“Well, if not, you guys won’t be finish anytime soon.” Jin waved his hand. “Think about it~” he said, placing a small paper in Tatsuya’s hand, and walked away.
Inside the paper was Ryo’s home address.
---
Ryo sat in his living room, drinking a beer. His TV was playing some variety show that he did not even tried looking at. He was more busy thinking about this problem of his.
“Damn it!” Ryo angrily pushed a cushion. “Why did it have to happened to me!” he sulked.
Someone rang at his door, but he did not want to move.
That someone got a little loudly, and began banging the door.
“Ok ok I’ll open, calm the fuck down!” He said opening said door. And got shocked.
“What the fuck is your problem?” Tatsuya pushed past Ryo, and entered the house as if he was home.
“Eh-sorry what?” Ryo was still speechless.
“Your damn manager said only me could help you or something. So I’m asking what the fuck is your damn problem?!” Tatsuya put his bag somewhere on the floor and sat himself in an armchair that seemed comfortable.
“I don’t have any problem!” Ryo growled, closing his door. “I don’t know what he talks about.”
“Of course you have a problem! You can’t even smile! I thought better of you Nishikido. I’m really disappointed.” Tatsuya sighed and leant it the cushion that was on his back. “At least you have comfortable chair.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I had fun competing with you for best models. So what happened to Mister Sexy Osaka Man?” Tatsuya stared at the other with half asleep eyes.
“Nothing.” Ryo said, not looking at Ueda.
“I thought it was your best environment. I mean the nude shot was good.” Tatsuya looked away, hiding a pink blush.
“You saw it?!” Ryo exclaimed, surprised.
“Well not really.” Tatsuya whispered. “The magazine was there and I had nothing better to do so yeah I might have took a look.” He said, getting up.
“You really think it was good?!” Ryo pushed him back in the armchair, and approaching his face dangerously. “Did you think I was good looking or sexy?”
“Err…” Tatsuya averted his eyes again, blushing deeply this time. “I thought we would have fun doing the calendar but seems like you’re not in your best form.” He said instead, changing the subject.
Tatsuya finally stared back at Ryo’s deep eyes. They were silent for about a minute or two.
“What?” he asked, looking away again.
“You are my problem.” Ryo said.
“What?!” Tatsuya stared at him angry.
“I’m in love with you, that’s why.” Ryo confessed, and kissed him on the lips.
---
2 days after, Yamashita’s click kept on ringing and ringing rapidly. He seemed really happy with his work.
In less than a week, they finished taking all the pictures for the calendar. He couldn’t wait for the release date.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Koki” Tatsuya mumbled, poking his omurice with his fork.

“No.” The guy said, and sighed. “What is your name?”
“Nishikido Ryo. Nice to meet you!” Ryo bowed his head at the other man. “And you?”
“Tatsuya. Ueda Tatsuya. I’ll be in charge of you from today onward. Tsk.” Tatsuya growled, and got up to open the shop.
“Oh.” Ryo seemed confused. How come a boy about his age was to be in charge of him?
“My parents went on a trip for I don’t know how long. Might not get back anytime soon, if you ask me.”
“Oh. I see.” Ryo stared at his new boss.
“What do you usually do here?” He asked, sitting at the counter, looking around the shop as if he never been there.
“Well, I’m in charge of delivering books at places in the morning. And helping Ueda-mama to arrange the books newly arrived when I’m back. Ueda-papa is usually at the cash desk.” Ryo said, looking around.
“Ah. Then here, are the books, go deliver them, then.” Tatsuya said, placing a box of books in Ryo’s hands.
“Ok, I’ll be back soon.” He said cheerfully and went out.
“Yeah yeah. Tsk.” Ueda sighed. It’s not even 9am yet, and he’s already tired.

It’s been 6 months since Ueda’s parents went on a trip. Tatsuya is still taking care of the bookshop. Seems like they got a lot of new clients these past 2 months. Especially women.
Ryo discovered what kind of book Tatsuya writes, one day while the latter was not in the shop.
---
“Does your family knows that you’re writing this kind of books? Ryo asked as they were eating their lunch.
“Of course not!” Tatsuya pinched Ryo’s arm. “How did you know anyway?”

“Say, does your family knows about that?” Ryo tried not to ask too much questions, but the curiosity took the better of him.
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
---
Ryo was preparing to go home, when Tatsuya called him suddenly.
“What is it?” Ryo asked, going to see the other.
“Do you have someone you like at the moment?”
“No. Why?” Ryo looked confusedly at his boss.
“Great. Do you mind having a little experiment with me then? I need to try it for my new book.” Tatsuya asked, grinning evilly at his trainee.
“Experiment?” Ryo blushed at the implications.
“You’ll like it. I’m sure of it ~” Tatsuya giggled and took Ryo’s hand to the back.
---
The ‘little’ experiment became something big and before they could stop anything, they found themselves in love with the other.
Tatsuya’s parents came back about a year after.
They did not expect their son and new employee to be in an intimate relationship.
Not at all.

4- Models AU.
Yamashita Tomohisa is the new genius photographer. His popularity is getting really high these past few months. He’s now working with pretty popular models like Nishikido Ryo or Ueda Tatsuya, the top 2 best models of Japan this year.
They had to pose for the annual summer calendar of some expensive clothing brand.
Being helped by his assistant, Kamenashi Kazuya, together they worked hard to take good photos of the two models. But it seems to be a hard task.
Nishikido Ryo and Ueda Tatsuya hate each other. Or more like they are competing for thefirst place.
Always arguing about this or that, stupid matters and nothing.
But Yamashita was smarter than them, and decided to make them do a DUET.

[NISHIKIDO RYO AND UEDA TATSUYA TOGETHER FOR ‘XXX’s ANNUAL SUMMER CALENDAR!!]
“Fuck you!” Ryo angrily screamed at his manager, throwing the paper harshly on the floor.
“Thank you.” Jin happily smirked at his model, and tapped him on the shoulder. “Don’t be mad, Ryo-chan it’s okay! He’s a good photographer. He will not let you do weird things to Uebo.”
“What do you mean by that? Did you forgot it’s the summer calendar? I will obviously have to be in underwear!! No way I’m doing that duet.” He slammed his hand on the table. “And him too.” He whispered more to himself.
“Hehehehe ~ do your best!” Jin sing-songed and walked away, leaving Ryo alone in the room.
“Asshole!”
---
A week later, at the studio, Ryo had no other choices but to comply and do the duet with his rival.
Yamashita made them do various poses but was not satisfied with any.
“Ok 5 minutes break. Kame, get me another film will you?”
“No problem!” Kazuya answered and went away.
“You idiot! Could you be even more stoic?! He told you to smile and you did what? A grimace! I don’t have time to deal with you! I’ll come back when you can do a SMILE!” Tatsuya angrily said to his partner and walked to his dressing room.
“…” Ryo sighed. It was useless.
Two hours later, they were still trying to do the shoot but Yamashita was still not satisfied. It seems like Ryo was not concentrated and kept having weird faces.
“OK! We’ll try again after lunch. See you at 2pm.” He announced and went away.
Tatsuya did not spare a glance at his co-worker and walked away.
“Ryo-chan, calm down! Why are you so nervous? You made Tatsuya angry.” Jin said gently, patting Ryo’s shoulder. “You’re hot, you’re strong, you even posed for a nude magazine the other day. What’s happening to you?” he smiled.
“You know what’s happening, idiot!” Ryo barked and walked away.
---
Tatsuya packed his bag as he was finished for the day. Yamashita decided to stop for the day since they could not do even one good photo.
As he opened his door to get out, he saw Ryo’s manager seemingly waiting for him.
“Hello, Tatsuya.” Jin said, smiling gently.
“What do you want?” Tatsuya snapped.
“You noticed that Ryo-chan was not so good today, right?” Jin sighed heavily.
“Not so good? Are you kidding? He was a total loser, good for nothing! I even wonder how he got second place!” Tatsuya put his bag on his shoulder and turned to leave. “I don’t have time for you. Good bye.”
“Wait!” Jin reached for his arm.
“What?!”
“Do you want Ryo-chan to be good at the shoot tomorrow?” Jin asked, playing with his hands.
“I don’t care about him! I just want to finish this damn calendar as soon as possible!”
“Then give him a little help?” Jin smiled widely. “Only you can help him overcome this.”
“What are you talking about? No way I’ll help some loser like him!” Tatsuya laughed at Jin.
“Well, if not, you guys won’t be finish anytime soon.” Jin waved his hand. “Think about it~” he said, placing a small paper in Tatsuya’s hand, and walked away.
Inside the paper was Ryo’s home address.

Ryo sat in his living room, drinking a beer. His TV was playing some variety show that he did not even tried looking at. He was more busy thinking about this problem of his.
“Damn it!” Ryo angrily pushed a cushion. “Why did it have to happened to me!” he sulked.
Someone rang at his door, but he did not want to move.
That someone got a little loudly, and began banging the door.
“Ok ok I’ll open, calm the fuck down!” He said opening said door. And got shocked.
“What the fuck is your problem?” Tatsuya pushed past Ryo, and entered the house as if he was home.
“Eh-sorry what?” Ryo was still speechless.
“Your damn manager said only me could help you or something. So I’m asking what the fuck is your damn problem?!” Tatsuya put his bag somewhere on the floor and sat himself in an armchair that seemed comfortable.
“I don’t have any problem!” Ryo growled, closing his door. “I don’t know what he talks about.”
“Of course you have a problem! You can’t even smile! I thought better of you Nishikido. I’m really disappointed.” Tatsuya sighed and leant it the cushion that was on his back. “At least you have comfortable chair.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I had fun competing with you for best models. So what happened to Mister Sexy Osaka Man?” Tatsuya stared at the other with half asleep eyes.
“Nothing.” Ryo said, not looking at Ueda.
“I thought it was your best environment. I mean the nude shot was good.” Tatsuya looked away, hiding a pink blush.
“You saw it?!” Ryo exclaimed, surprised.
“Well not really.” Tatsuya whispered. “The magazine was there and I had nothing better to do so yeah I might have took a look.” He said, getting up.
“You really think it was good?!” Ryo pushed him back in the armchair, and approaching his face dangerously. “Did you think I was good looking or sexy?”
“Err…” Tatsuya averted his eyes again, blushing deeply this time. “I thought we would have fun doing the calendar but seems like you’re not in your best form.” He said instead, changing the subject.
Tatsuya finally stared back at Ryo’s deep eyes. They were silent for about a minute or two.
“What?” he asked, looking away again.
“You are my problem.” Ryo said.
“What?!” Tatsuya stared at him angry.
“I’m in love with you, that’s why.” Ryo confessed, and kissed him on the lips.
---
2 days after, Yamashita’s click kept on ringing and ringing rapidly. He seemed really happy with his work.
In less than a week, they finished taking all the pictures for the calendar. He couldn’t wait for the release date.
