A/N: Yuri is a girl here
Chapter 12
“I know what I am doing, he’ll be okay with me…”
“I’ll tell Yuri later.”
“Yeah, yeah… I’ll pass your words to him. Anything else?”
“Good, see you later.”
Ryosuke just listening to Yuto when the latter talked with their teacher to tell him about Ryosuke staying at Yuto’s house. Ryosuke look around the car, seeking for something to kill his time. When he look down, something catch his eyes. He lean down and pick the things that manage to awe him. It was the gun that Yuto used earlier. Well, Ryosuke didn’t know that, he didn’t know that Yuto heard everything. But he’s aware that the gun he’s holding belongs to the person next to him.
Right before Ryosuke start pointing it randomly; Yuto who just finished talking to Inoo, frown and he quickly snap it away from his hand before he toss it away below his seat. “Sorry, but you can’t touch it.”
“Now you look more like what you told me. A spy… or whatever your job is.” Ryosuke said. When Yuto told him about his job, he almost couldn’t believe what he just heard, but when he found that gun, everything start to make sense. What kind of normal student would bring a gun with him when he’s driving? Wait, did he also bring that to school?
“Did you bring your gun when you go to school?”
“I do, for precaution…”
Ryosuke blink his eyes twice. Oh he did… now I’m impress…
“By the way Ryosuke, Inoo-sensei said thank you.”
Ryosuke raise his eyebrow; “For what?”
“For doing as what he told you; but judging your expression, I doubt that you actually doesn’t remember what he told you.”
“I just remember… now; but you’re welcome; I really did do as he told, I didn’t talk anything about my life to him; the truth is; I prefer not telling him about my life.” Ryosuke said proudly as he nodded his head lightly.
“You hate him?”
“A little, but he still my family… though that he’s actually a really horrible uncle one person can have.” Ryosuke said. He shake his head when he started to remember what Nishikido Ryo have tried to do to him in the pass. Lucky him that he’s still underage and was protected by law. His uncle can’t do anything to harm him.
But that royalty he have will end in two days from now. Thinking of what will happen to him after his birthday send chill through his vein. His face suddenly turn white pale. Yuto is aware of his changing; Yuto shake his shoulder lightly.
“Hey!”
“Yes!” Ryosuke is a startle. His body jump a little from the touch. “I’m sorry, I just… oh, never mind.” Ryosuke throw his gaze to the windows as he let out a heavy sigh.
Yuto lift his eyebrow. What’s wrong with him? Yuto turn his focus back to the road. Since Ryosuke looks like he refuse to talk to him, Yuto decided to not ask further. Maybe it’s something that he can’t tell anyone, including his friend. If it is Arioka, will he say it? Damn! I shouldn’t be concern about that!
“We’re here…” Yuto said after he turn off the engine and park his car.
Ryosuke followed Yuto out of his car. Its look like Yuto just park his car at the parking lot on the ground floor of an apartment building. “This is where you live?” Ryosuke asked the obvious question and Yuto just nodded his head and walk to the elevator.
“My agency paid me enough money for me to experience a better living.” Yuto explain when they’re inside the elevator. Yuto press the button to the 26th floor. “I buy that car, my tuition fee and food with that money.” Yuto added more followed with a nod from Ryosuke.
“And this apartment too?” Ryosuke asked but Yuto deny it.
“This apartment was a gift from my late foster father. He give me this apartment before he die. And I have a foster older brother too. He’s the one who take care of me after his father death. But he didn’t live here. I’m alone so you don’t have to worry about not having enough space for yourself; my house is too big for me and even when I add you, we still got some space left. So no worries.”
“Okay.” Ryosuke answered short.
Yuto walk out first after the elevator door is open at the 26th floors. Yuto turn to right, walk a little further from the elevator and stop in front of a door with a name plague ‘NakajIma’ hanging on it. Yuto take out his key card and slide it beside the doorknob. A sound of door unlock itself can be hear before Yuto spin the doorknob and enter his apartment. “Welcome to my house.”
Ryosuke didn’t show any surprise expression when he enter Yuto apartment. Well, maybe because he used to live in an even bigger house that this. And he admit it, he kind of liked Yuto house decoration. He didn’t have much furniture in his house and the design was adopted from English style house.
“Nice home.” Ryosuke commented honestly while walking around the living room after he put his back at the sofa.
“Thanks. I decorate it myself.”
Yuto leave Ryosuke at the living room and go to the kitchen. He come back with two glass of juice. One for him and another one he give to Ryosuke which gladly accepted by the latter with a thank you.
Yuto sit on the sofa across Ryosuke. “Your room is that one behind you. And mine is right next to it.” Yuto said as he point his index finger to the door behind Ryosuke. The latter turn his head to look at it and nod.
“But I don’t care if you prefer to sleep on the sofa; pick whatever ease you.”
“No thankyou; I prefer the bed.”
“And just go to the kitchen if you feel hungry.”
Yuto get up and head to his room. “I’m going to take a bath and then sleep. Do whatever you want but one thing; never get near my study table. Knock the door if you need anything, bye.” Yuto close the door after giving all the instruction that he thought necessary for Ryosuke since he’s going to live here with him.
Yuto let out a sigh; finally he manage to break down the wall between him and Ryosuke. He can feel that finally the latter start to put his trust on him a little. He had enough for one day. Yuto walk to his bed and laid his body on the mattress. He want to take a bath first before sleep but his bed is much more tempting than his bathroom. Slowly, his eyelids getting heavier, it took only a few minutes before Yuto fall into deep slumber.
While Ryosuke on the outside, he didn’t think much of what Yuto said and head to his own room and also when to sleep. He feel so tired of everything that happen today but before Ryosuke drift into his dreamland, he send a message to Daiki, explaining everything to him. He didn’t give Daiki a call since Ryosuke thought that the latter is busy with his sport. After sending an essay like message to Daiki, Ryosuke put his phone next to him and go to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It is around 9 pm when finally Ryosuke wake up from his sleep. Ryosuke sit on the bed while rubbing his still heavy eyes. He yawn few times and stretch his arms. Ryosuke grab his phone. His eyes goes wide when he found out that he got a lot of missed call from Daiki. He was expecting the latter would call him after what he told him in his text, but not this much. Man… Daiki really does hate it when he get near Yuto.
Ryosuke leave his phone on the bed and walk out from the room before he can hear anymore call from Daiki. He’s not in the mood to answer his bombarding question. Maybe later… a mixed smell of something burning and nice make his stomach growl the second he step out of the room. Now he realize that he just miss the dinner time. Blame himself for oversleep.
Ryosuke remembered that Yuto said that he can go to the kitchen if he’s hungry but when he go there, he frown. Oh my~~ Ryosuke widen his eyeball. He just saw Yuto wearing a light blue apron, holding a frying pan; carefully moving whatever he cook in it to the plate next to it. So that’s why I smell something is burning… Ryosuke thought as he nodding his head.
Yuto probably just wake up like him and miss his dinner too, because this guy doesn’t look like someone who love to cook. Ryosuke guessed as he continue watching Yuto from the entrance. When his stomach growl again, he decided to interrupt the cook.
“Hey…”
Yuto turn his head to Ryosuke. “Oh you’re awake.”
“Are you ok?” Doesn’t know what make him to ask that but, somehow he really want to ask that.
“What do you mean?” Yuto lifted up his eyebrow. “I’m completely ok.”
“There’s no way you could eat that. It’s already burning and I can’t even recognize what actually you’re cooking.” Ryosuke said honestly as he walk nearing Yuto. He lean down to have a closer look. “Yup, even with this close; I still can’t figure out what is this.”
“Oh, shut up!” Yuto rolled his eyes. “I’m sorry for being a very bad cooker and this is a tamagoyaki.” Yuto pouted; he’s kind of irritate with Ryosuke, he’s aware that he’s not a good cooker; at least can he try just shut his mouth and feeling gratitude that he’s working hard to make them a dinner.
“But thanks anyway; you were trying to make a dinner for me too right.” Ryosuke thanked him and purposely sneaking from behind the latter’s back and take one slice of the burned tamagoyaki. He shoved it into his mouth before Yuto could say anything.
Ryosuke cringe of the horrible taste. “I think you should just order some food. This things definitely beyond something edible.” He commented.
“Oh…” Yuto throw a flat expression to Ryosuke’s comment about his cooking. He try to fake a smile which come out really fake “Well then go on, call someone to bring your dinner Mr. perfect. But I’m going to eat this.” Yuto turn around and walk to the dining table. He’s so damn hungry; just before he start digging, Ryosuke pulled his plate away. Yuto groan and stand up of his seat while giving the latter an intense glare.
Yuto is about to protest but Ryosuke is quicker in words. “You’ll get sick if you eat this.” Ryosuke said.
“Mind your own business!” Yuto shouted and trying to get back his food but Ryosuke already run away and toss the food in the dustbin next to the fridge.
Ryosuke spin around, looking back at Yuto with a not guilty smile though that he just throw away the latter food. “Ops, sorry…” Ryosuke said nonchalantly. “Since your food gone, let’s eat something else, I’ll cook you something.” Ryosuke offered his help but surprisingly, Yuto doesn’t look like he like that idea at all.
What Ryosuke said sure have offended him. Yuto rolled his eyes and silently walking to the fridge. He doesn’t even glance to Ryosuke who’s standing next to it. When Yuto search some ingredient in the fridge, Ryosuke somehow realize that he shouldn’t have done that and now Yuto is mad at him. Why he knows that? Duh… the latter didn’t say anything but his anger and irritated expression say everything. He swallow hard.
“Yut-” Ryosuke try to open his mouth but Yuto cut his words half way.
“Shut up!” Yuto said in an angered tone. He glared at Ryosuke. He hate it, he hate it when someone critiquing his works. And what Ryosuke just did really piss him off. “Now I feel regret letting you stay here.” Yuto said as he walk away from the fridge to the stove.
Ouch! Does Yuto actually realize how much it hurt him when he said that? It almost like saying that Ryosuke present here is just a big nuisance to him, a hindrance. Ryosuke look away; he think of leaving Yuto there but somehow his step is stopped by the latter grip on his arms. Ryosuke turn around to look at Yuto with an unpleasant look. “What?” He asked.
“Where’re you going?”
“Out of here!”
“Where too?”
“Somewhere, it’s not your concern! Now let me go!”
“Shut up! Where do you think you can go? It is in the middle of night, you never know what will happen to you.” Yuto scolded him. “Besides, I need your help.”
Ryosuke lift up his eyebrow. “With what?”
Yuto didn’t answer his question but instead, he pulled Ryosuke back to the stove. Ryosuke stand there, looking so confused. When Yuto hand him a spatula and point his finger to the frying pan. He sort of can figure out what Yuto need him for.
“Help me make the dinner, I’m hungry.” He demanded like a kids while pouting his lips unconsciously.
Ryosuke smile. He sometime can be cute… “At your service!” He exclaimed while grinning happily.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Hurry up Ryosuke!”
“Just a second!”
Yuto lean his back on the wall as he wait for Ryosuke to finish getting dressed. Few minutes later the awaited guy finally out and Yuto hurriedly lock the door and walk to the elevator.
“Yuto you walk to school?”
“Yeah, the school and here is not that far. No need the car.”
“Souka…” Ryosuke nodded understanding.
“So, have you told Arioka; I hope you have.”
“I did and I know he can’t accept it. I bet a war is about to erupt later.” Ryosuke let out his worries.
And it is no joke, indeed, as soon as they step inside the main building; Daiki come out from nowhere and land a hard punch on Yuto’s cheek. The whole area when into silent. Ryosuke gasped. He didn’t expecting this to happen.
Yuto who is trying hard to retain himself from punching Daiki back support his body by touching the wall. His other hand hold his hurtful face. Damn! He’s strong! Stronger when he is mad. Yuto thought. He slowly bring himself to stand firmly.
“You! What did you do to Yama-chan!” He exclaimed madly.
“Daiki stop! Yuto too!” Ryosuke slipped through both of them, trying to cool the situation and prevent from creating a misunderstanding around them.
“Shit, they are calling the teacher! We better get out of here!” Ryosuke grab both of Yuto and Daiki hand, pulling them into running. His daily schedule is already too packed to add another detention into it.
After a while Ryosuke release their hand. “What’s wrong with you?!” He shouted to Daiki.
Daiki is startled when Ryosuke shouted at him and when into glaring toward Yuto who’s standing behind him. “Why are you with him? I already warn you to not get involve with him right, yet why are you hanging out with him and even living with him!”
“I already explain about this in my text right.”
“Not enough!”
“Oh please Dai-chan, this fight is nonsense! No need to get so angry!”
Yuto who is watching them bickering decided to interrupt before one of them start saying something that can make this situation worse. “Umm, we better get to class now.”
Daiki furrowing his eyebrow and quickly pulling Ryosuke to behind him. He look up to Yuto, glaring at him. “He will not go with you!”
“Daiki stop this! He’s a friend too.”
“No! Yama-chan this guy is RAACA agent! He’s not a friend!”
“I knew…”
“Eh?” Daiki turn his head to Ryosuke, “You knew?” He asked him and Ryosuke nodded his head. His face showed that he can believe what he just know. “So why… then why are you still hanging out with him!” Daiki shouted again. He can’t accept that Ryosuke actually knew and still stick with Nakajima Yuto though that he works for RAACA.
“I’m just trying to protect you…” His voice turned a little soft tinged with confused and sad emotion.
Ryosuke slowly shaking his head. “No dai-chan, you are not protecting me; you’re trying to protect yourself.”
“But-”
Ryosuke walk toward Yuto. “Not everyone in RAACA is bad people. At least not this one.” Ryosuke pull Yuto arms, closing the short distance between them. Ryosuke sound so confident, not just Daiki but Yuto is also shocked. Does this mean that Ryosuke finally truly understand Yuto role in his life and his current situation.
“Pardon us;” Ryosuke said and drag Yuto to their class. He leave Daiki alone to mull over what he just said. Maybe this can solve your problem Da-chan, try think of it as a chance. Yuto can help you… I can feel it.
Not long after their fight, Daiki enter the class. His face showed that he already clam down. Though he is scolded by their teacher for coming in late, he calmly apologize and move to his own seat. Since their seat are all near, Ryosuke can’t help but feeling awkward to look at Daiki when the latter walk to his seat. The said guy also seem to understand and didn’t even think of stealing a glance to his bestfriend during the whole lesson.
But when the lesson ended, Daiki suddenly jerk up from his chair, gaining both Yuto and Ryosuke attention to him. Daiki turn his body facing Yuto as the latter tilt his head in confuse. But it is quickly replaced with a shock when suddenly Daiki bowed his body while apologizing to him.
“Forgive me for my rudeness;” Daiki said and pull his body up. “But don’t think this as the end, because you know what… I still can’t trust you Nakajima Yuto.” Daiki said sternly and then bloom a thin smile. “But I can accept you in our small group.”
Ryosuke sighed. He feel so glad that Daiki finally can accept Yuto. He can’t stand another fight between them and though that Daiki still didn’t trust Yuto, he does said that he acknowledge him as a friend. That’s good enough.
The rest of the day going on smoothly. Ryosuke wait for Yuto while leaning his back on his locker. Yuto need to go meet Inoo-sensei first and ask him to wait. He feel weird, why Yuto always go to Inoo-sensei? Does that teacher his relative, or actually Inoo-sensei also involve in their matter. Now that he think of it, its all make sense. Inoo-sensei always seems to know everything and that guy was a little suspicious. Bette ask Yuto later.
The deep thinking bring Ryosuke to suddenly missing Hikaru. a sudden sharp painful feeling striking his heart. He still can’t accept it; the fact that Hikaru become another person that betray him after his parent and… Yabu Kota. Another name which make his heart throbbed with painful feeling. Ryosuke sighed.
“Yama-chan”
Ryosuke turn his head to the source of the voice and found Daiki, looking at him with a sad expression. Ryosuke craved a smile, wash away those painful feeling. Seems like Daiki know what he thought just now. This guy, he can’t blame Daiki for hating RAACA. He’s a victim too. From the world of betray.
“Are you sure?” Daiki asked Ryosuke as he walk near him and stop right in front of the latter.
“About what? Yuto? Hmm…” Ryosuke hummed, actually he didn’t totally sure, but he’s trying his best to escape from this cruel world and he know Yuto can help him. And so, he answered with ‘yes’ fully confident.
Daiki forced to crave a smile. “I see, then take care of yourself. Don’t forget to eat properly and sleep well. I know you still experiencing those nightmare and its become more frequent now.” Daiki patted Ryosuke shoulder. “I really hope that we can spend more time.”
Ryosuke just stay silent as he watch Daiki slowly walk away and out from the school building. His mind goes total blank, he know Daiki is hurt by his action. But this is for everyone good. And him too, his family problem need to be solved fast and his uncle need to be stopped.
“Wait!”
Ryosuke watch as Yuto come approach Daiki, he patted the latter shoulder; stopping him from taking further step. “Wait…” Yuto said again. He hold his knee while panting hard.
“What’s wrong?” Daiki asked.
Yuto take a deep breath and stand straight. “Come with me, I have something to discuss.” He said and then turn his head to look at Ryosuke. “You too…”
Yuto bring them home, serve them tea before he take a sit with them on the living room. Ryosuke can feel the tense and somehow feeling a little uncomfortable there. He keep on changing stare with Daiki who is in wonder. Yuto, will still don’t open his mouth. Maybe waiting for the perfect time to speak.
Yuto bring up his tea cup, take a few sip and put it down on the table before he move his gaze to Ryosuke and Daiki. “I better go straight.” Yuto said, making Ryosuke and Daiki to put their focus on him.
“Regarding the latest news I have, apparently Nishikido Ryo already have half of Yamada property.” Yuto said, he reach for his school bag on the couch and take out a file. He give it to Ryosuke.
Ryosuke take that file and read the contain word by words. His eyes when wide and his face turn pale. “No way…” Ryosuke hand start shaking badly. “This can’t be happening!” He shouted mad. “He took almost everything in Nagoya, even dad private resort in Okinawa is now his! I… I can’t accept this!” The file fall from his hand and landed on the floor. Ryosuke cover his face with his palms. He feel like crying and shouting. Their resort, their memories… everything was destroyed by his own family.
“Why did he do this…” Ryosuke said in whisper.
Daiki pick up the file and read it. He only bite his lips. He know how much that resort mean to Ryosuke and his parent. It was one of the place that hold so much good memory of them together. Even his main house doesn’t have much. His mom die there and his father being a killer. “Yuto you can help Ryosuke can you?” Daiki turn to look at Yuto, waiting for his answer.
“I do, that is the real reason why I was here actually. Sorry that I never tell anyone before.” Yuto said.
“But I need everyone help too. This things can’t be done alone. If we wanna take Nishikido Ryo down, we need to cooperate. Along with Yuri and Inoo-sensei help.”
“About that Yuto,” Ryosuke lift up his head. “Why Inoo-sensei, and Yuri? That girl…”
“They are RAACA agent too. My teammate; we are ordered to settle this job. He’s a little shock when I said that I already told you everything but somehow he understand the situation and come up with a quick plan for us.”
“Awesome~” Ryosuke said.
Yuto cough up, “Anyway… this is what we will do.” Yuto look serious. He started explaining the plan which including Ryosuke, him, Daiki and of course Yuri too. Never mind that Yuri is not here to listen, he always can call her and explain.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Since Ryosuke is living with Yuto, Daiki need to go home alone. When he reach home, a BMW is parked inside the parking lot. He recognize the number plat. He know whose car is this. Daiki slowly turn the door knob, as expected, it’s unlock. He take a deep breath. As soon as he step inside, a tall man wearing a black tuxedo greeted him. Bowing his upper body to him.
“Okaerinasai, Daiki-sama. Nishikido-sama is waiting for your arrival at his study room.” That man said and follow Daiki to the said place.
He knock twice at the door, when he hear a faint voice he turn the door knob and ask Daiki to get inside before closing the door back.
“Daiki!” The middle age man wearing a grey suit while sitting on a large leather chair greeted him cheerfully. His smile is so wide but Daiki only replied with bowing his body to him and craved a thin smile.
“Okaerinasai, Nishikido-sama.”
While resting his elbow on the extra-large desk, he smiled to Daiki. “You still look the same as last time, how is you doing? Is everything alright?” He asked and Daiki nod his head.
“Yes, everything is fine. Except for one thing.”
“Oh yes and I know what that thing is.” Nishikido Ryo said, still having the same bright smile. “RAACA right?” He said and once again Daiki nodded.
“Dai-chan, Dai-chan… I have told you right, you can come to me if you feel sad or want something. I gladly will help you. Even if you want me to destroy that agency.”
“Yes, I know…”
“I love you Daiki, you can always come to me. How about we have some dinner together?” Nishikido Ryo get up from his chair and walk toward Daiki.
The latter beamed excitedly. “Yes! I love that idea! Thanks father!”
Nishikido Ryo patted his head. “Anything for my son.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryosuke just finish taking a bath and feel so thirsty. He go out of his room and when to the kitchen to get some hot drink. When he walk pass the living room to go back to his own room, he saw Yuto. The latter is still at his working desk, eyes focusing at the paper in front of him. He’s wearing a glasses. This is the first time Ryosuke saw Yuto with his glass, just a tee and jeans. He look completely like a normal student if he ignore the fact that he have an extra-ordinary job.
Sometime Yuto will creased his face and a few time flicking his tongue. Ryosuke also hear he sighed heavily a few time. Ryosuke chuckles, he just realize that he’s stalking Yuto too much there. He leave him alone but a few minutes later he come back with holding a mug containing a hot chocolate drink.
“Thirsty?” Ryosuke asked as he hand Yuto the mug.
The latter thanked him and get up from his chair only to walk a little further and sit back at the couch. He’s afraid that the paperwork will ruined if he accidently spill some hot chocolate on it. Ryosuke who’s still have his hot chocolate drink, take a sit next to Yuto.
“Thank you…” Ryosuke suddenly said.
Yuto lifted up his eyebrow and look at Ryosuke in confused. “For what?”
“Because you want to help me… not much people want to do that; almost everyone in school hate me and even my family itself doesn’t want me. So….” Ryosuke suddenly stopped, he looked down, and he rested his hand that hold the mug on his lap. “Umm… I, I’m grateful that I have you. So thanks again.” Ryosuke said sheepishly.
Oh god!!! I hope he didn’t realize about my reddening face…. Damn it! I feel so embarrassed to say that to him. But I really mean it.
Yuto look away from Ryosuke. He rubbed the back of his nape. “Umm…. It’s no big deal, I really want to do this.” Yuto said.
Ryosuke try to steal a glance at Yuto. He blink his eyes. Eh? Did I just saw him blushing? Really? Yuto is blushing!?
“Yuto you are blushing. Are you embarrassed?”
“Nonsense! No way!!” Yuto try to deny it but it’s so obvious on his face. “Urghhh!” Yuto groan and harshly finishing his drink and chocked.
“Uwaa… Yuto are you ok?!” Ryosuke asked in panic as his hand patted Yuto’s back to soothe the pain away.
“That’s why you should drink slowly… mouu~~ you’re just like a kids.” Ryosuke commented afterward.
“Shut up!” Yuto exclaimed madly. He hate to be teased and Ryosuke always love to do that.
Yuto sighed and rested his back at the couch. He feel a little tired. “Hey, Ryosuke…”
“Oi Ryosuke…”
“Huh?!” Yuto turn his head to look at Ryosuke and saw that the latter have fallen asleep with his head leaned on the handrest.
A soft smile craved upon his lips. “Seems like he’s also tired.” Yuto said. He take away the mug on Ryosuke hand and put it on the table. Slowly he pull up Ryosuke head from the handrest and turn it to the opposite site, putting it slowly on his shoulder. Letting him sleeping while his head leaned at the handrest will make him have a neck pain when he wake up. “It’s better this way.”
Besides Ryosuke smell so nice. Maybe because he just take a bath. Slowly Yuto feel his eyes become heavier too. He glance at Ryosuke. “Well, a short nap is not a problem right…” He mumbled and slowly resting his head on Ryosuke head before he finally drifted to sleep.
“Oyasumi…”

A/N: Yuri is a girl here
Chapter 12
“I know what I am doing, he’ll be okay with me…”
“I’ll tell Yuri later.”
“Yeah, yeah… I’ll pass your words to him. Anything else?”
“Good, see you later.”
Ryosuke just listening to Yuto when the latter talked with their teacher to tell him about Ryosuke staying at Yuto’s house. Ryosuke look around the car, seeking for something to kill his time. When he look down, something catch his eyes. He lean down and pick the things that manage to awe him. It was the gun that Yuto used earlier. Well, Ryosuke didn’t know that, he didn’t know that Yuto heard everything. But he’s aware that the gun he’s holding belongs to the person next to him.
Right before Ryosuke start pointing it randomly; Yuto who just finished talking to Inoo, frown and he quickly snap it away from his hand before he toss it away below his seat. “Sorry, but you can’t touch it.”
“Now you look more like what you told me. A spy… or whatever your job is.” Ryosuke said. When Yuto told him about his job, he almost couldn’t believe what he just heard, but when he found that gun, everything start to make sense. What kind of normal student would bring a gun with him when he’s driving? Wait, did he also bring that to school?
“Did you bring your gun when you go to school?”
“I do, for precaution…”
Ryosuke blink his eyes twice. Oh he did… now I’m impress…
“By the way Ryosuke, Inoo-sensei said thank you.”
Ryosuke raise his eyebrow; “For what?”
“For doing as what he told you; but judging your expression, I doubt that you actually doesn’t remember what he told you.”
“I just remember… now; but you’re welcome; I really did do as he told, I didn’t talk anything about my life to him; the truth is; I prefer not telling him about my life.” Ryosuke said proudly as he nodded his head lightly.
“You hate him?”
“A little, but he still my family… though that he’s actually a really horrible uncle one person can have.” Ryosuke said. He shake his head when he started to remember what Nishikido Ryo have tried to do to him in the pass. Lucky him that he’s still underage and was protected by law. His uncle can’t do anything to harm him.
But that royalty he have will end in two days from now. Thinking of what will happen to him after his birthday send chill through his vein. His face suddenly turn white pale. Yuto is aware of his changing; Yuto shake his shoulder lightly.
“Hey!”
“Yes!” Ryosuke is a startle. His body jump a little from the touch. “I’m sorry, I just… oh, never mind.” Ryosuke throw his gaze to the windows as he let out a heavy sigh.
Yuto lift his eyebrow. What’s wrong with him? Yuto turn his focus back to the road. Since Ryosuke looks like he refuse to talk to him, Yuto decided to not ask further. Maybe it’s something that he can’t tell anyone, including his friend. If it is Arioka, will he say it? Damn! I shouldn’t be concern about that!
“We’re here…” Yuto said after he turn off the engine and park his car.
Ryosuke followed Yuto out of his car. Its look like Yuto just park his car at the parking lot on the ground floor of an apartment building. “This is where you live?” Ryosuke asked the obvious question and Yuto just nodded his head and walk to the elevator.
“My agency paid me enough money for me to experience a better living.” Yuto explain when they’re inside the elevator. Yuto press the button to the 26th floor. “I buy that car, my tuition fee and food with that money.” Yuto added more followed with a nod from Ryosuke.
“And this apartment too?” Ryosuke asked but Yuto deny it.
“This apartment was a gift from my late foster father. He give me this apartment before he die. And I have a foster older brother too. He’s the one who take care of me after his father death. But he didn’t live here. I’m alone so you don’t have to worry about not having enough space for yourself; my house is too big for me and even when I add you, we still got some space left. So no worries.”
“Okay.” Ryosuke answered short.
Yuto walk out first after the elevator door is open at the 26th floors. Yuto turn to right, walk a little further from the elevator and stop in front of a door with a name plague ‘NakajIma’ hanging on it. Yuto take out his key card and slide it beside the doorknob. A sound of door unlock itself can be hear before Yuto spin the doorknob and enter his apartment. “Welcome to my house.”
Ryosuke didn’t show any surprise expression when he enter Yuto apartment. Well, maybe because he used to live in an even bigger house that this. And he admit it, he kind of liked Yuto house decoration. He didn’t have much furniture in his house and the design was adopted from English style house.
“Nice home.” Ryosuke commented honestly while walking around the living room after he put his back at the sofa.
“Thanks. I decorate it myself.”
Yuto leave Ryosuke at the living room and go to the kitchen. He come back with two glass of juice. One for him and another one he give to Ryosuke which gladly accepted by the latter with a thank you.
Yuto sit on the sofa across Ryosuke. “Your room is that one behind you. And mine is right next to it.” Yuto said as he point his index finger to the door behind Ryosuke. The latter turn his head to look at it and nod.
“But I don’t care if you prefer to sleep on the sofa; pick whatever ease you.”
“No thankyou; I prefer the bed.”
“And just go to the kitchen if you feel hungry.”
Yuto get up and head to his room. “I’m going to take a bath and then sleep. Do whatever you want but one thing; never get near my study table. Knock the door if you need anything, bye.” Yuto close the door after giving all the instruction that he thought necessary for Ryosuke since he’s going to live here with him.
Yuto let out a sigh; finally he manage to break down the wall between him and Ryosuke. He can feel that finally the latter start to put his trust on him a little. He had enough for one day. Yuto walk to his bed and laid his body on the mattress. He want to take a bath first before sleep but his bed is much more tempting than his bathroom. Slowly, his eyelids getting heavier, it took only a few minutes before Yuto fall into deep slumber.
While Ryosuke on the outside, he didn’t think much of what Yuto said and head to his own room and also when to sleep. He feel so tired of everything that happen today but before Ryosuke drift into his dreamland, he send a message to Daiki, explaining everything to him. He didn’t give Daiki a call since Ryosuke thought that the latter is busy with his sport. After sending an essay like message to Daiki, Ryosuke put his phone next to him and go to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It is around 9 pm when finally Ryosuke wake up from his sleep. Ryosuke sit on the bed while rubbing his still heavy eyes. He yawn few times and stretch his arms. Ryosuke grab his phone. His eyes goes wide when he found out that he got a lot of missed call from Daiki. He was expecting the latter would call him after what he told him in his text, but not this much. Man… Daiki really does hate it when he get near Yuto.
Ryosuke leave his phone on the bed and walk out from the room before he can hear anymore call from Daiki. He’s not in the mood to answer his bombarding question. Maybe later… a mixed smell of something burning and nice make his stomach growl the second he step out of the room. Now he realize that he just miss the dinner time. Blame himself for oversleep.
Ryosuke remembered that Yuto said that he can go to the kitchen if he’s hungry but when he go there, he frown. Oh my~~ Ryosuke widen his eyeball. He just saw Yuto wearing a light blue apron, holding a frying pan; carefully moving whatever he cook in it to the plate next to it. So that’s why I smell something is burning… Ryosuke thought as he nodding his head.
Yuto probably just wake up like him and miss his dinner too, because this guy doesn’t look like someone who love to cook. Ryosuke guessed as he continue watching Yuto from the entrance. When his stomach growl again, he decided to interrupt the cook.
“Hey…”
Yuto turn his head to Ryosuke. “Oh you’re awake.”
“Are you ok?” Doesn’t know what make him to ask that but, somehow he really want to ask that.
“What do you mean?” Yuto lifted up his eyebrow. “I’m completely ok.”
“There’s no way you could eat that. It’s already burning and I can’t even recognize what actually you’re cooking.” Ryosuke said honestly as he walk nearing Yuto. He lean down to have a closer look. “Yup, even with this close; I still can’t figure out what is this.”
“Oh, shut up!” Yuto rolled his eyes. “I’m sorry for being a very bad cooker and this is a tamagoyaki.” Yuto pouted; he’s kind of irritate with Ryosuke, he’s aware that he’s not a good cooker; at least can he try just shut his mouth and feeling gratitude that he’s working hard to make them a dinner.
“But thanks anyway; you were trying to make a dinner for me too right.” Ryosuke thanked him and purposely sneaking from behind the latter’s back and take one slice of the burned tamagoyaki. He shoved it into his mouth before Yuto could say anything.
Ryosuke cringe of the horrible taste. “I think you should just order some food. This things definitely beyond something edible.” He commented.
“Oh…” Yuto throw a flat expression to Ryosuke’s comment about his cooking. He try to fake a smile which come out really fake “Well then go on, call someone to bring your dinner Mr. perfect. But I’m going to eat this.” Yuto turn around and walk to the dining table. He’s so damn hungry; just before he start digging, Ryosuke pulled his plate away. Yuto groan and stand up of his seat while giving the latter an intense glare.
Yuto is about to protest but Ryosuke is quicker in words. “You’ll get sick if you eat this.” Ryosuke said.
“Mind your own business!” Yuto shouted and trying to get back his food but Ryosuke already run away and toss the food in the dustbin next to the fridge.
Ryosuke spin around, looking back at Yuto with a not guilty smile though that he just throw away the latter food. “Ops, sorry…” Ryosuke said nonchalantly. “Since your food gone, let’s eat something else, I’ll cook you something.” Ryosuke offered his help but surprisingly, Yuto doesn’t look like he like that idea at all.
What Ryosuke said sure have offended him. Yuto rolled his eyes and silently walking to the fridge. He doesn’t even glance to Ryosuke who’s standing next to it. When Yuto search some ingredient in the fridge, Ryosuke somehow realize that he shouldn’t have done that and now Yuto is mad at him. Why he knows that? Duh… the latter didn’t say anything but his anger and irritated expression say everything. He swallow hard.
“Yut-” Ryosuke try to open his mouth but Yuto cut his words half way.
“Shut up!” Yuto said in an angered tone. He glared at Ryosuke. He hate it, he hate it when someone critiquing his works. And what Ryosuke just did really piss him off. “Now I feel regret letting you stay here.” Yuto said as he walk away from the fridge to the stove.
Ouch! Does Yuto actually realize how much it hurt him when he said that? It almost like saying that Ryosuke present here is just a big nuisance to him, a hindrance. Ryosuke look away; he think of leaving Yuto there but somehow his step is stopped by the latter grip on his arms. Ryosuke turn around to look at Yuto with an unpleasant look. “What?” He asked.
“Where’re you going?”
“Out of here!”
“Where too?”
“Somewhere, it’s not your concern! Now let me go!”
“Shut up! Where do you think you can go? It is in the middle of night, you never know what will happen to you.” Yuto scolded him. “Besides, I need your help.”
Ryosuke lift up his eyebrow. “With what?”
Yuto didn’t answer his question but instead, he pulled Ryosuke back to the stove. Ryosuke stand there, looking so confused. When Yuto hand him a spatula and point his finger to the frying pan. He sort of can figure out what Yuto need him for.
“Help me make the dinner, I’m hungry.” He demanded like a kids while pouting his lips unconsciously.
Ryosuke smile. He sometime can be cute… “At your service!” He exclaimed while grinning happily.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Hurry up Ryosuke!”
“Just a second!”
Yuto lean his back on the wall as he wait for Ryosuke to finish getting dressed. Few minutes later the awaited guy finally out and Yuto hurriedly lock the door and walk to the elevator.
“Yuto you walk to school?”
“Yeah, the school and here is not that far. No need the car.”
“Souka…” Ryosuke nodded understanding.
“So, have you told Arioka; I hope you have.”
“I did and I know he can’t accept it. I bet a war is about to erupt later.” Ryosuke let out his worries.
And it is no joke, indeed, as soon as they step inside the main building; Daiki come out from nowhere and land a hard punch on Yuto’s cheek. The whole area when into silent. Ryosuke gasped. He didn’t expecting this to happen.
Yuto who is trying hard to retain himself from punching Daiki back support his body by touching the wall. His other hand hold his hurtful face. Damn! He’s strong! Stronger when he is mad. Yuto thought. He slowly bring himself to stand firmly.
“You! What did you do to Yama-chan!” He exclaimed madly.
“Daiki stop! Yuto too!” Ryosuke slipped through both of them, trying to cool the situation and prevent from creating a misunderstanding around them.
“Shit, they are calling the teacher! We better get out of here!” Ryosuke grab both of Yuto and Daiki hand, pulling them into running. His daily schedule is already too packed to add another detention into it.
After a while Ryosuke release their hand. “What’s wrong with you?!” He shouted to Daiki.
Daiki is startled when Ryosuke shouted at him and when into glaring toward Yuto who’s standing behind him. “Why are you with him? I already warn you to not get involve with him right, yet why are you hanging out with him and even living with him!”
“I already explain about this in my text right.”
“Not enough!”
“Oh please Dai-chan, this fight is nonsense! No need to get so angry!”
Yuto who is watching them bickering decided to interrupt before one of them start saying something that can make this situation worse. “Umm, we better get to class now.”
Daiki furrowing his eyebrow and quickly pulling Ryosuke to behind him. He look up to Yuto, glaring at him. “He will not go with you!”
“Daiki stop this! He’s a friend too.”
“No! Yama-chan this guy is RAACA agent! He’s not a friend!”
“I knew…”
“Eh?” Daiki turn his head to Ryosuke, “You knew?” He asked him and Ryosuke nodded his head. His face showed that he can believe what he just know. “So why… then why are you still hanging out with him!” Daiki shouted again. He can’t accept that Ryosuke actually knew and still stick with Nakajima Yuto though that he works for RAACA.
“I’m just trying to protect you…” His voice turned a little soft tinged with confused and sad emotion.
Ryosuke slowly shaking his head. “No dai-chan, you are not protecting me; you’re trying to protect yourself.”
“But-”
Ryosuke walk toward Yuto. “Not everyone in RAACA is bad people. At least not this one.” Ryosuke pull Yuto arms, closing the short distance between them. Ryosuke sound so confident, not just Daiki but Yuto is also shocked. Does this mean that Ryosuke finally truly understand Yuto role in his life and his current situation.
“Pardon us;” Ryosuke said and drag Yuto to their class. He leave Daiki alone to mull over what he just said. Maybe this can solve your problem Da-chan, try think of it as a chance. Yuto can help you… I can feel it.
Not long after their fight, Daiki enter the class. His face showed that he already clam down. Though he is scolded by their teacher for coming in late, he calmly apologize and move to his own seat. Since their seat are all near, Ryosuke can’t help but feeling awkward to look at Daiki when the latter walk to his seat. The said guy also seem to understand and didn’t even think of stealing a glance to his bestfriend during the whole lesson.
But when the lesson ended, Daiki suddenly jerk up from his chair, gaining both Yuto and Ryosuke attention to him. Daiki turn his body facing Yuto as the latter tilt his head in confuse. But it is quickly replaced with a shock when suddenly Daiki bowed his body while apologizing to him.
“Forgive me for my rudeness;” Daiki said and pull his body up. “But don’t think this as the end, because you know what… I still can’t trust you Nakajima Yuto.” Daiki said sternly and then bloom a thin smile. “But I can accept you in our small group.”
Ryosuke sighed. He feel so glad that Daiki finally can accept Yuto. He can’t stand another fight between them and though that Daiki still didn’t trust Yuto, he does said that he acknowledge him as a friend. That’s good enough.
The rest of the day going on smoothly. Ryosuke wait for Yuto while leaning his back on his locker. Yuto need to go meet Inoo-sensei first and ask him to wait. He feel weird, why Yuto always go to Inoo-sensei? Does that teacher his relative, or actually Inoo-sensei also involve in their matter. Now that he think of it, its all make sense. Inoo-sensei always seems to know everything and that guy was a little suspicious. Bette ask Yuto later.
The deep thinking bring Ryosuke to suddenly missing Hikaru. a sudden sharp painful feeling striking his heart. He still can’t accept it; the fact that Hikaru become another person that betray him after his parent and… Yabu Kota. Another name which make his heart throbbed with painful feeling. Ryosuke sighed.
“Yama-chan”
Ryosuke turn his head to the source of the voice and found Daiki, looking at him with a sad expression. Ryosuke craved a smile, wash away those painful feeling. Seems like Daiki know what he thought just now. This guy, he can’t blame Daiki for hating RAACA. He’s a victim too. From the world of betray.
“Are you sure?” Daiki asked Ryosuke as he walk near him and stop right in front of the latter.
“About what? Yuto? Hmm…” Ryosuke hummed, actually he didn’t totally sure, but he’s trying his best to escape from this cruel world and he know Yuto can help him. And so, he answered with ‘yes’ fully confident.
Daiki forced to crave a smile. “I see, then take care of yourself. Don’t forget to eat properly and sleep well. I know you still experiencing those nightmare and its become more frequent now.” Daiki patted Ryosuke shoulder. “I really hope that we can spend more time.”
Ryosuke just stay silent as he watch Daiki slowly walk away and out from the school building. His mind goes total blank, he know Daiki is hurt by his action. But this is for everyone good. And him too, his family problem need to be solved fast and his uncle need to be stopped.
“Wait!”
Ryosuke watch as Yuto come approach Daiki, he patted the latter shoulder; stopping him from taking further step. “Wait…” Yuto said again. He hold his knee while panting hard.
“What’s wrong?” Daiki asked.
Yuto take a deep breath and stand straight. “Come with me, I have something to discuss.” He said and then turn his head to look at Ryosuke. “You too…”
Yuto bring them home, serve them tea before he take a sit with them on the living room. Ryosuke can feel the tense and somehow feeling a little uncomfortable there. He keep on changing stare with Daiki who is in wonder. Yuto, will still don’t open his mouth. Maybe waiting for the perfect time to speak.
Yuto bring up his tea cup, take a few sip and put it down on the table before he move his gaze to Ryosuke and Daiki. “I better go straight.” Yuto said, making Ryosuke and Daiki to put their focus on him.
“Regarding the latest news I have, apparently Nishikido Ryo already have half of Yamada property.” Yuto said, he reach for his school bag on the couch and take out a file. He give it to Ryosuke.
Ryosuke take that file and read the contain word by words. His eyes when wide and his face turn pale. “No way…” Ryosuke hand start shaking badly. “This can’t be happening!” He shouted mad. “He took almost everything in Nagoya, even dad private resort in Okinawa is now his! I… I can’t accept this!” The file fall from his hand and landed on the floor. Ryosuke cover his face with his palms. He feel like crying and shouting. Their resort, their memories… everything was destroyed by his own family.
“Why did he do this…” Ryosuke said in whisper.
Daiki pick up the file and read it. He only bite his lips. He know how much that resort mean to Ryosuke and his parent. It was one of the place that hold so much good memory of them together. Even his main house doesn’t have much. His mom die there and his father being a killer. “Yuto you can help Ryosuke can you?” Daiki turn to look at Yuto, waiting for his answer.
“I do, that is the real reason why I was here actually. Sorry that I never tell anyone before.” Yuto said.
“But I need everyone help too. This things can’t be done alone. If we wanna take Nishikido Ryo down, we need to cooperate. Along with Yuri and Inoo-sensei help.”
“About that Yuto,” Ryosuke lift up his head. “Why Inoo-sensei, and Yuri? That girl…”
“They are RAACA agent too. My teammate; we are ordered to settle this job. He’s a little shock when I said that I already told you everything but somehow he understand the situation and come up with a quick plan for us.”
“Awesome~” Ryosuke said.
Yuto cough up, “Anyway… this is what we will do.” Yuto look serious. He started explaining the plan which including Ryosuke, him, Daiki and of course Yuri too. Never mind that Yuri is not here to listen, he always can call her and explain.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Since Ryosuke is living with Yuto, Daiki need to go home alone. When he reach home, a BMW is parked inside the parking lot. He recognize the number plat. He know whose car is this. Daiki slowly turn the door knob, as expected, it’s unlock. He take a deep breath. As soon as he step inside, a tall man wearing a black tuxedo greeted him. Bowing his upper body to him.
“Okaerinasai, Daiki-sama. Nishikido-sama is waiting for your arrival at his study room.” That man said and follow Daiki to the said place.
He knock twice at the door, when he hear a faint voice he turn the door knob and ask Daiki to get inside before closing the door back.
“Daiki!” The middle age man wearing a grey suit while sitting on a large leather chair greeted him cheerfully. His smile is so wide but Daiki only replied with bowing his body to him and craved a thin smile.
“Okaerinasai, Nishikido-sama.”
While resting his elbow on the extra-large desk, he smiled to Daiki. “You still look the same as last time, how is you doing? Is everything alright?” He asked and Daiki nod his head.
“Yes, everything is fine. Except for one thing.”
“Oh yes and I know what that thing is.” Nishikido Ryo said, still having the same bright smile. “RAACA right?” He said and once again Daiki nodded.
“Dai-chan, Dai-chan… I have told you right, you can come to me if you feel sad or want something. I gladly will help you. Even if you want me to destroy that agency.”
“Yes, I know…”
“I love you Daiki, you can always come to me. How about we have some dinner together?” Nishikido Ryo get up from his chair and walk toward Daiki.
The latter beamed excitedly. “Yes! I love that idea! Thanks father!”
Nishikido Ryo patted his head. “Anything for my son.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryosuke just finish taking a bath and feel so thirsty. He go out of his room and when to the kitchen to get some hot drink. When he walk pass the living room to go back to his own room, he saw Yuto. The latter is still at his working desk, eyes focusing at the paper in front of him. He’s wearing a glasses. This is the first time Ryosuke saw Yuto with his glass, just a tee and jeans. He look completely like a normal student if he ignore the fact that he have an extra-ordinary job.
Sometime Yuto will creased his face and a few time flicking his tongue. Ryosuke also hear he sighed heavily a few time. Ryosuke chuckles, he just realize that he’s stalking Yuto too much there. He leave him alone but a few minutes later he come back with holding a mug containing a hot chocolate drink.
“Thirsty?” Ryosuke asked as he hand Yuto the mug.
The latter thanked him and get up from his chair only to walk a little further and sit back at the couch. He’s afraid that the paperwork will ruined if he accidently spill some hot chocolate on it. Ryosuke who’s still have his hot chocolate drink, take a sit next to Yuto.
“Thank you…” Ryosuke suddenly said.
Yuto lifted up his eyebrow and look at Ryosuke in confused. “For what?”
“Because you want to help me… not much people want to do that; almost everyone in school hate me and even my family itself doesn’t want me. So….” Ryosuke suddenly stopped, he looked down, and he rested his hand that hold the mug on his lap. “Umm… I, I’m grateful that I have you. So thanks again.” Ryosuke said sheepishly.
Oh god!!! I hope he didn’t realize about my reddening face…. Damn it! I feel so embarrassed to say that to him. But I really mean it.
Yuto look away from Ryosuke. He rubbed the back of his nape. “Umm…. It’s no big deal, I really want to do this.” Yuto said.
Ryosuke try to steal a glance at Yuto. He blink his eyes. Eh? Did I just saw him blushing? Really? Yuto is blushing!?
“Yuto you are blushing. Are you embarrassed?”
“Nonsense! No way!!” Yuto try to deny it but it’s so obvious on his face. “Urghhh!” Yuto groan and harshly finishing his drink and chocked.
“Uwaa… Yuto are you ok?!” Ryosuke asked in panic as his hand patted Yuto’s back to soothe the pain away.
“That’s why you should drink slowly… mouu~~ you’re just like a kids.” Ryosuke commented afterward.
“Shut up!” Yuto exclaimed madly. He hate to be teased and Ryosuke always love to do that.
Yuto sighed and rested his back at the couch. He feel a little tired. “Hey, Ryosuke…”
“Oi Ryosuke…”
“Huh?!” Yuto turn his head to look at Ryosuke and saw that the latter have fallen asleep with his head leaned on the handrest.
A soft smile craved upon his lips. “Seems like he’s also tired.” Yuto said. He take away the mug on Ryosuke hand and put it on the table. Slowly he pull up Ryosuke head from the handrest and turn it to the opposite site, putting it slowly on his shoulder. Letting him sleeping while his head leaned at the handrest will make him have a neck pain when he wake up. “It’s better this way.”
Besides Ryosuke smell so nice. Maybe because he just take a bath. Slowly Yuto feel his eyes become heavier too. He glance at Ryosuke. “Well, a short nap is not a problem right…” He mumbled and slowly resting his head on Ryosuke head before he finally drifted to sleep.
“Oyasumi…”
