[Chaptered] The Bet 7/?
Aiba`s POV
“Hmmm... Does he always have some breakfast?” I asked to a young woman in front of me.
“Yes, young master always have some breakfast before going to school... Usually it`s just tea and toast,” she answered and smiled to me.
“Ohhh... What’s his favourite food?” I asked.
“Young master has never really had any favourite food Aiba-san... He never praises any food...” I laughed hard at that, as expected of the cold prince Sakurai.
“Well... It`s easy then... I just need to try and cook something randomly, make him eat it and comment on it...” I laughed again. I didn’t understand this... All my ideas about Sho always made me laugh hard. I still waited for him while he was meeting Matsumoto.
It wasn’t like I had no idea at all why Matsumoto wanted to meet me. I wouldn’t meet him if Sho didn’t want me to, though... I felt that Sho didn’t really like the idea of me meeting Matsumoto. I wasn’t going to do anything that he’d hate...
I heard slow steps and turned my head. I saw Sho walking toward me and I smiled at him.
“He wants to meet you,” He said softly.
What did they talk about? Why had Sho wanted to talk about with Matsumoto before he’d meet me... Maybe they were hiding something from me...?
“Do you want me to meet him?” Say that you want me to stay and I would stay and never talk to him again, Sho...
“It`s up to you... You have your freedom so you can freely meet your friends,” he answered.
“Okay then... Even though he isn’t my friend, he is your friend.” I stood up and went to the room Matsumoto was in. I knocked on the door and opened it, Matsumoto was there sitting on the sofa. He turned to me and smiled. I replied his smile.
“Hey,” he greeted. I smiled and bowed lightly to him, standing there awkwardly. “You can sit down, you know...” I moved closer and sat beside him.
“What happened to you? Why are you living here...?” he asked while looking at me.
“You didn’t ask Sho-kun?” I questioned back.
“Sho-kun...?” he asked, it was like he hadn’t really heard what I’d said and asked to confirm it. I nodded.
“No, I didn’t ask him...” He answered. I told him everything that happened; that I was a hooker`s son, that my dad almost raped me, that Sho helped me...
“Wow... You’ve been trough a lot,” he said softly.
“Yeah... Sho-kun helped me a lot...” I answered him.
“We hadn’t really talked much before... I`m so sorry about the last time we met...”
“It`s okay,” I smiled.
“Would it be okay if I’d come visit every day?” he asked.
“I don’t know... I think it`s okay... It`s Sho-kun`s house after all...”
“Hmmm... Okay, I`ll go home now then...” he stood up, I walked to the door and opened it for him. That was when I saw Sho peeking from his room. I almost laughed because of that, he was worried... You can call me a weirdo... but I was happy because of that...

I followed Sho to the first floor. He would escort me to see around his house. That was the most wonderful house I`d ever seen. I wondered how many maids were needed for these rooms, how many people they needed to clean this house. But I was wondering about his mother more...
“Can I talk to Mrs. Sakurai...? I want to ask her permission to stay here...” I was too afraid to ask directly where his mom is.
“No need to do that,” he answered.
“Why...? I let you to talk to my mom, but I can’t talk to your mom to ask for permission?”
“That’s not it... She’s never home... Besides... No need to worry about that.”
“This is your room,” he opened the door, I could see a big room. But I was confused.
“Ummm... Wasn’t my room supposed to be next to your room? I thought you just wanted to show me around the house.”
He looked shocked, I had thought I’ll be sleeping in a room at least near to his, not in a far-away one like this.
“No...” he answered me. But I felt safe when I was near him...
“Can I use the room next to yours, Sho-kun? I thought it was empty...?” I asked. He looked at me with expression full of shock.
“Yes... It`s empty... And... I think... Yeah... Maybe you can use that room...” he said nervously.
“Maybe?” I asked, why did he look so troubled because of me using room near his?
“No, I`m sorry... I mean, yes... Of course, you can use that room.”
We walked to the kitchen, some maids were there preparing the dinner. When they saw Sho and me walking into the kitchen, they stopped their work immediately and came out while bowing to Sho.
“Ohhh... Today is pasta,” I checked the pan. Sho waited for me in the kitchen doorway.
“Do you like pasta, Sho-kun...?” I asked.
“Yeah... I like it...”
“Do you like sushi?”
“Yes...”
“Do you like onigiri?” He looked like thinking for a while, then answered,” I haven’t tried onigiri, I think...”
“Really?? Are you Japanese?” I asked and laughed hard. He ignored me.
“Jyaaa... I`ll make you onigiri now,” I folded up my sleeves.
“We have pasta for our dinner...”
“Yes, but I`ll make you try onigiri right now...”
“No need to do that, really...” he was ready to walk out of the kitchen.
“Stop, you, come back here and sit down, mister, now! I`ll cook and you`ll wait,” I said firmly. He walked back and sat down on the kitchen chair.
“Good...” I smiled at him. He was cute right? That’s how I spent my first night in Sakurai Sho`s house, forcing him to try onigiri...
