Hiroto’s POV
~~
I arrived at practice to find the room in chaos.
Spotting me in the doorway, Shou came over and grabbed my hand.
“These were just delivered.”
He said, leading me to a small table.
There was a vase full of brightly colored, exotic looking flowers sitting on it.
“They’re for you.”
Saga handed me an envelope.
I looked at it, unopened, and smiled.
I didn’t need to read it to know they were from Reita.
“Well? Aren’t you going to read it?”
I shook my head at Nao.
“Later. Shouldn’t we be starting?”
I couldn’t help laughing at them.
They were so curious.
Every time Nao would call for a break, one of them would approach me.
Wanting me to open it.
Wanting to know who they were from.
Finally, I gave in.
Sitting a little away from them, I broke the seal.
Pulling out the small piece of paper.
I turned it over.
Written on it was one line.
This is me, TRYING.
It had a small heart drawn next to an ‘R’.
I slowly ran my finger across the paper.
First tracing the ‘R’ and then going around the heart.
And then they were all surrounding me.
Looking hopeful.
I handed the paper to Shou.
He looked at it, turned it over, then handed it to Saga.
“Who’s ‘R’?” Shou asked.
“My boyfriend.”
Saga rolled his eyes at me.
“I think we could’ve guessed that. Give us a name.”
I stood up, stretching.
“Why?”
“Well,” Nao looked up from the paper he was now holding “It’d be nice to know who you’re seeing.”
“Why?” I asked again.
Earning an annoyed look from Tora.
“Are we done?” I asked Nao, taking back the paper and tucking it safely away in the envelope.
“Why? Got a hot date?” Saga smirked at me.
“Maybe. Jealous?” I tossed back.
Finally, Nao let us leave.
With me carrying my flowers.
I hung back a bit.
Expecting Reita to be waiting somewhere.
He was, leaning against his car.
I took an extra minute, just to look at him.
He looked fabulous.
Comfortably casual.
With the others were finally gone, I walked over to him.
“Hi, need a hand?”
He asked, taking my burden from me.
“Yeah, thanks.”
He held the door open for me and I climbed into his car.
“We’ll drop your stuff off first. And you can change,” he said, climbing in behind the wheel.
”Change? Why?”
“Cuz I’m taking you out,” he smiled, finally leaning over for a kiss.
He kept avoiding my questions.
Where were we going?
What was the occasion?
The last he answered, “just because.”
Then we were off to the restaurant.
After dinner was over, we sat for a few more minutes.
“You had a good time tonight?” he asked, smiling.
I leaned over and gave him a kiss, “Wonderful.”
Then he finally asked what I’d been expecting since coming out of the building.
“So the flowers were a hit?”
I couldn’t stop the giggle.
“Oh yeah. They guys are now dying of curiosity. They wanna know who you are.”
“Ah. You didn’t tell them?”
I shook my head.
“A little suspense never hurt anyone.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“Well,” I hedged a bit “I’m sure I’ll be in for several lectures when they finally find out. I’d kinda like to avoid those as long as possible.”
“You don’t think they’ll approve of me?”
“Not so much you. More like the stories we’ve all heard.”
He nodded.
“You wanna know the truth?”
I shrugged.
“I don’t care if they’re true or not. That’s the past.”
He smiled, giving me a sweet kiss.
“Well, here you go anyway. Most of them are blatant lies started by Miyavi. He thought it was fun. And at the time, so did I.”
Since he brought it up, I thought, ‘What the heck?’
Deciding to ask a few questions.
“You two didn’t date.”
He laughed.
“For about 2 minutes.”
“How about the one that says you two have seduced half the staff?”
He rolled his eyes.
“Highly exaggerated. Try none.”
“Ok. What about the locks on the bathrooms? Are you guys responsible for them?”
“Absolutely. How else can we have uninterrupted-bathroom-sex?”
I laughed at that one.
“How indeed?” I smiled.
“Besides, other’s have enjoyed that little benefit.”
I bet.
“Anything else?”
He asked, taking my hand.
“Not really. And I really didn’t need to know any of those.”
”But you were curious.”
“A little.” I agreed, smiling at him.
“You do plan on telling them, tho” he asked, driving from the restaurant.
“Of course I do. They’re my friends. And once they realize that I’m happy, they will be, too. They’ll probably drive you crazy, tho. You’ll get invited to all kinds of boring parties and stuff.
Wait until you hear Nao and Saga going on and on about gundams.”
He laughed.
“So you’re friends are as dorky as mine, then?”
“Probably worse.”
”We’ll have to get them all together and find out.”
There was a huge smile on my face.
Thinking about the future.
Our future.
