Chapter 3
“This is a wonderful news! But aren’t you both being too fast? I mean, you just met again last night after four years, and now you’re talking about marriage?” Akanishi mama said with enjoyment when she heard the explanation from her husband to why he laughed so loud from the veranda and called her with Mei and Reio who was just walking downstairs with crumpled bed hair, still yawning.
“Okaa-san? Can you lower your voice a bit? I’m already awake. You don’t have to make it louder to make me awake more.” Reio whined as he covered his ears.
Akanishi mama sent her son a glare. “You’re exaggerating, dear. Why don’t you go and wash your face? You still have dirt on your eyes.”
Kazuya saw how Reio pouted as he stood up, walked towards the nearest bathroom as he muttered, “I already wash my face, I’m not dirty anymore.”
He was about to turn and face Akanishi mama and papa but he stopped dead. He looked down on the ground as if it was the most interesting thing to look at.
Kazuya refused to look at his best friend who was throwing dagger looks at him. He knew too well that Mei was mad. If looks could burn, he will definitely be ashes right now.
He was still shivering in terror with Mei’s daggering looks when he felt Jin made a move which almost made him faint. The older man wrapped his right arm around Kazuya’s hips.
“Kaa-san, Tou-chan, we’ve wasted enough time these past years. We don’t want to waste another time again when we could spend it together.” He heard Jin explained as the older man squeezed Kazuya’s hips which made him gasped a bit in pain and somehow, in ecstasy?
DAMN! He’s making a move to make me pay! He thought angrily. Let’s see… I’m not gonna stay put here and do nothing. HUH! No way in hell I’m gonna let you win!
The taller man should have known and expected this. It has always been in Kazuya’s nature to fight back, in any way he can.
Jin must have forgotten that little fact about him. He did not expect that every teasing will fall onto this kind of mess.
Kazuya flashed his overly sexy smile to Jin before turning to face Akanishi mama and papa. “You wouldn’t believe that Jinny here had a hidden desire towards me ne, Okaa-san? And ‘coz of that, he totally surprised me last night by confessing his undying love for me.” He chuckled.
“And who am I to reject it right? So I accepted it. I don’t want him to hit his head onto something and got amnesia.” He added with a flirty smirk for Jin.
Jin’s parents couldn’t help but laughed at the younger man’s antics. Even Akanishi mama who have a little doubt about it still smiled sweetly for them.
Mei suddenly pulled her best friend and hugged him tight. TIGHTER like she wanted to not let Kazuya breathe anymore.
“KAZU-CHII~” Mei exclaimed happily and loudly. “I’m sooo happy for you!” and added in a hissed whisper. “I’m going to kill you. Both of you.”
“Arigatou na, Mei,” He replied back with a meaningful smile, ignoring the last words his best friend uttered. “This is a dream come true.”
Kazuya could only chuckled when he saw Mei’s crumpled forced smiling face.
“So when do you plan to get married?” They were interrupted by Akanishi papa. Kazuya was glad the old man wasn’t mad at all. He was even more shocked when he told him about the marriage and the old man just patted him on the back and laughed with a word ‘Finally, Kame.’ He was confused but grateful at the same time that the Akanishi Family had accepted who he really was. Well, except for Mei now that he knew the other was so mad at him and Jin.
“As soon as possible,” Jin answered coolly.
The younger man doesn’t want his pride to be defeated and added, “Right, as soon as possible. We’ll be going to my lawyer later to arrange our papers to apply marriage license in Canada. Then, after that, we’ll fly to Canada for the ceremony.”
See, what he meant by ASAP? It was like RIGHT NOW!
Kazuya saw how Mei’s eyes went comically wide for a moment with her nostrils blowing fumes and turned to throw sharp glares at him.
“Woah! That’s totally fast!” Reio who came back chirped in like a maniac. “You two totally want to get your hands with each other’s pants ne?” He said stupidly but then he received a hard smacked on the head by his little sister.
Reio hissed in pain as he caressed his head. “What the heck was that for?!”
“We don’t need your dirty mouth here, go brush your teeth.” Mei snapped.
“What?! I just brushed it! And-And-OI! I’m older than you!” Reio pointed out and whined.
Mei tsk-ed. “Yeah, yeah. You’re older but I’m mature than you. You still have cavity, go brush it again.”
Reio pouted childishly.
Akanishi mama sighed. “Both of you, stop bickering with each other. Mei, will you at least be gentle to you brother?”
“But, Ma! He’s really being childish!” Mei pouted and crossed her arms.
“It’s ok, Kaa-san. I’m already used to her bossiness.” Reio said dejectedly, he turned around and walked back to the bathroom while muttering, “I brushed my teeth three times.”
When Reio was out of earshot, Akanishi mama and papa both sighed.
“Don’t treat him like a kid, Mei. You’re being mean with your brother.” Akanishi mama lectured while Akanishi papa and Jin nodded in synch.
Mei sighed. “I’m not being mean, I just want him to get hold of himself. After he and that bitch Ayu broke up, he became stupid.”
Akanishi papa petted her head affectionately. “I know you really cared that much. You’re the baby of this family after all and also the one who’s holding the strings which make us hold this family strong.”
“Pa! I’m not a baby anymore.” She pouted even more if possible. “Enough about me and Reio nii-chan. Let’s talk about Jin nii-chan and Kazuya’s wedding.” She added sharply and looked at the couple who were just watching them.
“Ah, yeah.” Akanishi mama looked back at them. “I’ll call Taguchi-san and asked her who was the wedding planner of Junno-kun and Rena-chan’s wedding. Their wedding was very successful.”
“Okaa-san,” Jin stopped his mother to pick up the phone. “Me and Kazu are both males. A simple civil wedding will do.”
Akanishi mama furrowed her eyebrows. “But why?” She was obviously disappointed. “It’s the first time I’m going to have a son being married.”
“Ma, I’m still here and Reio nii-chan. You can always prepare our wedding. Let Jin nii-chan and Kazuya have their way with their wedding, ok?” Mei interrupted.
“Oh, YEAH~ Thanks dear! I’m really happy! I’ll definitely make your wedding extravagant.” Akanishi mama exclaimed happily.
“Oh shit! I think it’s a wrong move to say that.” Mei muttered which Kazuya never failed to hear and he chuckled.
Kazuya was still chuckling when Mei looked at him with piercing looks again, as if telling, You better explain this damn mess up.
“Ma, Pa, I think this two love birds wants their privacy ne? Let’s leave them alone, they have a lot of catching up to do.” The petite girl said as she almost dragged her parents out of veranda, but she turned back at the two men standing still.
She glared at them and said tightly, “You have all the time in the world. I’m giving both of you the chance to reconsider.”
When both of them were left in the veranda, Kazuya slowly faced the older man with a smirk on his pouty lips.
“Go ahead and cry-but mind you, I’m not gonna back out.” He said with an arrogant pose.
Jin only arched an eyebrow. “Why should I cry?”
Kazuya also arched an eyebrow. “Come on, I know you’re just playing pranks with me when you called me here and talked about that deal. But now, you no longer can quit on it totally locked on this deal. And whose fault is that? Certainly not me.” He beamed at himself, happy of what he had achieved.
“What do you mean playing prank with you ?” Jin furrowed his eyebrows, irritation written all over his face. “You think my offer was a joke?”
“Don’t give a shit on me, Jin.” The younger man was starting to get annoyed too. “I know you’re just playing games with me!”
Jin laughed mockingly. “That’s why you pulled that stunt with Tou-chan huh? You thought you were punishing me by your sudden announcement?”
“I wanted to see you faint, damn ass!” Kazuya almost whined hysterically and really wanted to kick the guy in front of him. It annoyed him to see the other was not fazed by the situation.
Jin laughed even more. “Kazu, when I said I’m going to accept your proposal if you agree to my condition, I meant it. Getting married to you for me is fine, meaning you agree to my condition. Simple as that.”
Kazuya furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “You were serious back then? You’re totally going to accept my proposal?” His eyes went wide sarcastically. “But why? Why changed mind now? You didn’t even give my proposal a second thought.”
Jin shrugged. “Like what you said earlier, I might have this hidden desire for you.” He said with a cheeky smirk.
Suddenly Kazuya was hit by the full impact.
Awhile ago, he was enjoying himself so much thinking that he put the older man in an uncomfortable position. Nothing mattered except the thought of making him squirm.
But he thought wrong; it seems that Jin actually enjoyed the situation.
It was done. The issue was closed.
His problem is solved. He doesn’t need to search for a temporary lover on the streets. It was already in front of him.
He will be rich soon. A DAMN RICH MAN.
This is all that matters, right? He asked himself.
But then, why does he feel like a loser?
Kazuya took a deep breathe. “Look, you know what… I don’t think I want to marry you.” He said.
Once again, Jin raised an eyebrow at him. “As if you have a choice. Aren’t you the one who were in daring need to have a temporary lover slash husband?”
“Well, I can always go find another one. You’re not the only man in this world after all.”
“Really?” Kazuya hated that voice, hated the line of mischievousness in it. “Well then, you’re in charge to tell Kaa-san and Tou-chan about the whole thing. What will you say, I wonder?” Jin smirked widely. “’Ah! Kaa-san! Tou-chan! April Fools Day! Ireguchi Deguchi Taguchi desu!’ like that, Kazu? How I’d love to see you do that. And regarding about searching for the right guy, good luck to you.” The taller man made salute composure before leaving him alone in the veranda which made Kazuya’s blood boiled more.
The younger man was left with a hanging mind.
Shit, what mess did I put myself into? He almost smacked his head stupidly.
*********
“ARE YOU out of your mind?!” A firm snapping voice greeted Kazuya when he entered his best friend’s room.
He stared at her for a moment and saw that she was obviously hadn’t taken a bath yet. It seems like the petite girl weren’t going to her work because of what happened.
“What the hell were you thinking? Both of you! Did you two bump each other’s head? Or ate some alien food? WHAT?! Will you two shake your heads and stop making this non sense?” Mei exclaimed angrily, and if they were in an anime show, Kazuya knew for sure that his best friend must have been throwing Rasengan on them like in Naruto. “Kamenashi Kazuya, we are talking about your life here! Your DAMN personal life! It’s not as if marrying someone is like buying a branded clothe and when you get tired of it, you can just easily throw!” She lectured.
“Funny,” he sarcastically said as he walked towards the bed and plopped on it. “You didn’t bother to tell me that before when we were busy thinking of a plan to search for the temporary lover. As far as I remember, you’re intensely helping me with it.” He reminded her.
Mei sighed. “That was before you decided to marry him! HIM!” She retorted firmly as she pointed a finger at the door as if her big brother was just standing outside.
“Don’t you want me to be your brother-in-law?” Kazuya simply said and sighed. He was really getting tired of this already and if possible he doesn’t want to talk seriously about it.
“DUH!” The girl cheekily said as she placed both hands on her hips like a mother lecturing her child. “It’s a great idea! It’s the best thing that could ever happen! But the thing is, we’re just lying to ourselves for this nonsense! If only this isn’t the situation, I’ll be cool with it.” She sighed dejectedly, but as if something struck her, her eyebrows collided. “MY GAWD, Kazuya! If you suddenly decide to end this shit! What will you tell Ma and Pa? Game over?!”
He caressed his head. He sure will get a headache because of this mess. He wanted to kill himself for making this mess, especially involving the parents he had grown to love and care. The lies they have just fabricated for them.
Shit. He cursed.
“Don’t you know that Ma was totally worried? She thinks that Jin nii-chan might not be in his right state of mind. She’s worried that he might be just using you as a substitute to his recently dead girlfriend?” She let out a dry laugh. “Imagine that? They’re concerned about you.”
She sighed. “If only they knew you’re just going to use him.”
“Mei,” Kazuya sat up and sighed, devastated. “Stop. Please stop. My mind is in distortion. I don’t want to think. I feel like I’m an awful person now. If it isn’t about Nana obaa-chan’s inheritance, this mess wouldn’t have happened at all.”
He felt the other sat beside him and felt a hand over his.
Kazuya let out another sigh. “We couldn’t back out anymore. Well, in a way, I don’t want to back out considering the fact that this is the solution to my problem,” he honestly said and placed his other hand over Mei’s hand. “I hope you’ll give your blessings, Mei, after all, we know the real score for this situation. It’s gonna be all right in the end.” He assured.
Kazuya wondered if he really believed on that. Even him, he couldn’t help but have a little doubt.
“Kazuya, it’s not unknown to us especially to me that you have deep feelings for Nii-chan back then when we were young. What I’m really afraid of is that, to see you expect for something but then in the end you’ll get hurt. This is supposed to be a business arrangement, remember?” She explained with full concern.
He forced a smile, knowing that his best friend truly cared for him, he was really happy to have her. “If your worrying over me having my feelings back to him, forget it. I’m no longer the geek stupid teenager Kazuya. I don’t have any interest feelings for him, I promise you that.”
“Liar,” Mei accused with a meaningful smirk. “If I know, your boxers almost fell to the ground and you almost got hard when you saw him last night. As if you can hide everything from me ne?” She poked his side playfully. “Anyway, tell me how did you make that Bakanishi brother of mine agree to this?” She asked curiously.
“With my charms and sexiness, of course,” Kazuya stated matter-of-factly with a super sweet smile.
Damn it! Even if the world crash down, I will never ever gonna tell her about the condition I agreed to Jin for this damn marriage. He promised himself.
**********
They both used the car of Jin’s dad. They stopped at Kazuya’s place to get some papers and went straight to the office of his lawyer.
Very soon, they would be declared as a legal couple, they would be considered as one! Even if it was fast-too fast-the idea was-terrifying.
What would happen during the time of marriage? There won’t be any problem, is there?
“Kazuya, I’m not forcing you to this marriage,” Jin broke the silence while calmly driving. “In fact, I’m doing you a favor.”
“Just don’t forget, this is a business arrangement.” The younger man shortly and professionally said, tried to act as cool as possible.
“Sure,” Jin merely shrugged. “Don’t also forget my condition.”
Kazuya rolled his eyes as he looked outside the window. “We’ll negotiate about that later.”
The car suddenly halted which almost made Kazuya bumped his head on the window, luckily his arms moved on his own to push back.
“What the f--?!”
“I thought THIS IS a serious rational talk? The negotiating part is over. Conditions have been laid.” Jin said with a blank expression but the other knew he was dead serious about it.
Kazuya got irritated when Jin didn’t start the car again. They were after all in middle of the road.
“All right!” He shouted angrily. “Hah! Now, I’m really beginning to think it’s true that you have hidden desires for me! You fantasize me!”
The older man didn’t budge, didn’t even bother to retort back. And in Kazuya’s observation, it seems that the other was as if reconsidering if he will still go with the deal or not.
Kazuya got annoyed more after a couple of minutes when the car didn’t move at all. He gritted his teeth and kicked madly at the older man’s foot which was mad the car stirred a bit.
“Drive! Damn it! We’re on the middle of the fucking highway! And it’s almost lunch break! I don’t want to waste my time waiting for my lawyer taking her lunch!” Kazuya demanded.
Jin flashed a satisfied smirked. “Afraid I might change my mind huh?” He teased and whistled as he started to drive the car once again.
*******************
An hour later after they talked with the lawyer, they went straight to the nearest Italian restaurant.
“So, today is your day off in work? Could you give me a free tour on your station?” Kazuya raised an eyebrow when he heard the other asked.
He stared at the taller man with full suspicions. “Give you a free tour? And why should I do that?”
Jin also raised an eyebrow as if making a challenge with Kazuya’s raised one. “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your co-workers?” He asked coldly. “So at least they wouldn’t be shock if one of these days, they’ll find out that Kamenashi Kazuya will turn into Akanishi Kazuya.”
The younger man snapped his head to face the other with sharp looks. “Who said I’m going to carry your name? I didn’t say you can be the dominant one! You’ll be the one carrying MY name! And one thing, I don’t have any intentions of announcing about me getting married to the whole world! If possible, I want it to be a secret!”
Jin snorted. “As If I’m gonna let you dominate me.” He shrugged and walked pass the other towards the entrance door. “Fine, have it your way. Let’s go eat.”
Funny it seems, but when they were eating in the resto, Kazuya couldn’t help but feel a bit proud that he was with Jin.
Jin was really a good-looking guy. No sane person wouldn’t spare Jin a glance; And somehow, his heart was swelling with pride.
OH SHIT! First day of pretending and everything’s already getting into me! DAMN! Kazuya almost smack his head.
He didn’t like the feeling at all.

“This is a wonderful news! But aren’t you both being too fast? I mean, you just met again last night after four years, and now you’re talking about marriage?” Akanishi mama said with enjoyment when she heard the explanation from her husband to why he laughed so loud from the veranda and called her with Mei and Reio who was just walking downstairs with crumpled bed hair, still yawning.

Jin’s parents couldn’t help but laughed at the younger man’s antics. Even Akanishi mama who have a little doubt about it still smiled sweetly for them.
Mei suddenly pulled her best friend and hugged him tight. TIGHTER like she wanted to not let Kazuya breathe anymore.
“KAZU-CHII~” Mei exclaimed happily and loudly. “I’m sooo happy for you!” and added in a hissed whisper. “I’m going to kill you. Both of you.”
“Arigatou na, Mei,” He replied back with a meaningful smile, ignoring the last words his best friend uttered. “This is a dream come true.”
Kazuya could only chuckled when he saw Mei’s crumpled forced smiling face.
“So when do you plan to get married?” They were interrupted by Akanishi papa. Kazuya was glad the old man wasn’t mad at all. He was even more shocked when he told him about the marriage and the old man just patted him on the back and laughed with a word ‘Finally, Kame.’ He was confused but grateful at the same time that the Akanishi Family had accepted who he really was.

See, what he meant by ASAP? It was like RIGHT NOW!
Kazuya saw how Mei’s eyes went comically wide for a moment with her nostrils blowing fumes and turned to throw sharp glares at him.
“Woah! That’s totally fast!” Reio who came back chirped in like a maniac. “You two totally want to get your hands with each other’s pants ne?” He said stupidly but then he received a hard smacked on the head by his little sister.
Reio hissed in pain as he caressed his head. “What the heck was that for?!”

Reio pouted childishly.
Akanishi mama sighed. “Both of you, stop bickering with each other. Mei, will you at least be gentle to you brother?”
“But, Ma! He’s really being childish!” Mei pouted and crossed her arms.

“Okaa-san,” Jin stopped his mother to pick up the phone. “Me and Kazu are both males. A simple civil wedding will do.”
Akanishi mama furrowed her eyebrows. “But why?” She was obviously disappointed. “It’s the first time I’m going to have a son being married.”
“Ma, I’m still here and Reio nii-chan. You can always prepare our wedding. Let Jin nii-chan and Kazuya have their way with their wedding, ok?” Mei interrupted.

“Well, I can always go find another one. You’re not the only man in this world after all.”
“Really?” Kazuya hated that voice, hated the line of mischievousness in it. “Well then, you’re in charge to tell Kaa-san and Tou-chan about the whole thing. What will you say, I wonder?” Jin smirked widely. “’Ah! Kaa-san! Tou-chan! April Fools Day! Ireguchi Deguchi Taguchi desu!’ like that, Kazu? How I’d love to see you do that. And regarding about searching for the right guy, good luck to you.” The taller man made salute composure before leaving him alone in the veranda which made Kazuya’s blood boiled more.

“What the hell were you thinking? Both of you! Did you two bump each other’s head? Or ate some alien food? WHAT?! Will you two shake your heads and stop making this non sense?” Mei exclaimed angrily, and if they were in an anime show, Kazuya knew for sure that his best friend must have been throwing Rasengan on them like in Naruto. “Kamenashi Kazuya, we are talking about your life here! Your DAMN personal life! It’s not as if marrying someone is like buying a branded clothe and when you get tired of it, you can just easily throw!” She lectured.
“Funny,” he sarcastically said as he walked towards the bed and plopped on it. “You didn’t bother to tell me that before when we were busy thinking of a plan to search for the temporary lover. As far as I remember, you’re intensely helping me with it.” He reminded her.
Mei sighed. “That was before you decided to marry him! HIM!” She retorted firmly as she pointed a finger at the door as if her big brother was just standing outside.
“Don’t you want me to be your brother-in-law?” Kazuya simply said and sighed. He was really getting tired of this already and if possible he doesn’t want to talk seriously about it.
“DUH!” The girl cheekily said as she placed both hands on her hips like a mother lecturing her child. “It’s a great idea! It’s the best thing that could ever happen! But the thing is, we’re just lying to ourselves for this nonsense! If only this isn’t the situation, I’ll be cool with it.” She sighed dejectedly, but as if something struck her, her eyebrows collided. “MY GAWD, Kazuya! If you suddenly decide to end this shit! What will you tell Ma and Pa? Game over?!”
He caressed his head. He sure will get a headache because of this mess. He wanted to kill himself for making this mess, especially involving the parents he had grown to love and care. The lies they have just fabricated for them.
Shit. He cursed.
“Don’t you know that Ma was totally worried? She thinks that Jin nii-chan might not be in his right state of mind. She’s worried that he might be just using you as a substitute to his recently dead girlfriend?” She let out a dry laugh. “Imagine that? They’re concerned about you.”
She sighed. “If only they knew you’re just going to use him.”
“Mei,” Kazuya sat up and sighed, devastated. “Stop. Please stop. My mind is in distortion. I don’t want to think. I feel like I’m an awful person now. If it isn’t about Nana obaa-chan’s inheritance, this mess wouldn’t have happened at all.”
He felt the other sat beside him and felt a hand over his.
Kazuya let out another sigh. “We couldn’t back out anymore. Well, in a way, I don’t want to back out considering the fact that this is the solution to my problem,” he honestly said and placed his other hand over Mei’s hand. “I hope you’ll give your blessings, Mei, after all, we know the real score for this situation. It’s gonna be all right in the end.” He assured.
Kazuya wondered if he really believed on that. Even him, he couldn’t help but have a little doubt.
“Kazuya, it’s not unknown to us especially to me that you have deep feelings for Nii-chan back then when we were young. What I’m really afraid of is that, to see you expect for something but then in the end you’ll get hurt. This is supposed to be a business arrangement, remember?” She explained with full concern.
He forced a smile, knowing that his best friend truly cared for him, he was really happy to have her. “If your worrying over me having my feelings back to him, forget it. I’m no longer the geek stupid teenager Kazuya. I don’t have any interest feelings for him, I promise you that.”
“Liar,” Mei accused with a meaningful smirk. “If I know, your boxers almost fell to the ground and you almost got hard when you saw him last night. As if you can hide everything from me ne?” She poked his side playfully. “Anyway, tell me how did you make that Bakanishi brother of mine agree to this?” She asked curiously.
“With my charms and sexiness, of course,” Kazuya stated matter-of-factly with a super sweet smile.
Damn it! Even if the world crash down, I will never ever gonna tell her about the condition I agreed to Jin for this damn marriage. He promised himself.
**********
They both used the car of Jin’s dad. They stopped at Kazuya’s place to get some papers and went straight to the office of his lawyer.
Very soon, they would be declared as a legal couple, they would be considered as one! Even if it was fast-too fast-the idea was-terrifying.
What would happen during the time of marriage? There won’t be any problem, is there?
“Kazuya, I’m not forcing you to this marriage,” Jin broke the silence while calmly driving. “In fact, I’m doing you a favor.”
“Just don’t forget, this is a business arrangement.” The younger man shortly and professionally said, tried to act as cool as possible.
“Sure,” Jin merely shrugged. “Don’t also forget my condition.”
Kazuya rolled his eyes as he looked outside the window. “We’ll negotiate about that later.”
The car suddenly halted which almost made Kazuya bumped his head on the window, luckily his arms moved on his own to push back.
“What the f--?!”
“I thought THIS IS a serious rational talk? The negotiating part is over. Conditions have been laid.” Jin said with a blank expression but the other knew he was dead serious about it.
Kazuya got irritated when Jin didn’t start the car again. They were after all in middle of the road.
“All right!” He shouted angrily. “Hah! Now, I’m really beginning to think it’s true that you have hidden desires for me! You fantasize me!”
The older man didn’t budge, didn’t even bother to retort back. And in Kazuya’s observation, it seems that the other was as if reconsidering if he will still go with the deal or not.
Kazuya got annoyed more after a couple of minutes when the car didn’t move at all. He gritted his teeth and kicked madly at the older man’s foot which was mad the car stirred a bit.
“Drive! Damn it! We’re on the middle of the fucking highway! And it’s almost lunch break! I don’t want to waste my time waiting for my lawyer taking her lunch!” Kazuya demanded.
Jin flashed a satisfied smirked. “Afraid I might change my mind huh?” He teased and whistled as he started to drive the car once again.
*******************
An hour later after they talked with the lawyer, they went straight to the nearest Italian restaurant.
“So, today is your day off in work? Could you give me a free tour on your station?” Kazuya raised an eyebrow when he heard the other asked.
He stared at the taller man with full suspicions. “Give you a free tour? And why should I do that?”
Jin also raised an eyebrow as if making a challenge with Kazuya’s raised one. “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your co-workers?” He asked coldly. “So at least they wouldn’t be shock if one of these days, they’ll find out that Kamenashi Kazuya will turn into Akanishi Kazuya.”
The younger man snapped his head to face the other with sharp looks. “Who said I’m going to carry your name? I didn’t say you can be the dominant one! You’ll be the one carrying MY name! And one thing, I don’t have any intentions of announcing about me getting married to the whole world! If possible, I want it to be a secret!”
Jin snorted. “As If I’m gonna let you dominate me.” He shrugged and walked pass the other towards the entrance door. “Fine, have it your way. Let’s go eat.”
Funny it seems, but when they were eating in the resto, Kazuya couldn’t help but feel a bit proud that he was with Jin.
Jin was really a good-looking guy. No sane person wouldn’t spare Jin a glance; And somehow, his heart was swelling with pride.
OH SHIT! First day of pretending and everything’s already getting into me! DAMN! Kazuya almost smack his head.
He didn’t like the feeling at all.
