CH 11

This chapter is very short! Hope you all enjoyed.

Friday I will start posting the extras. There are a total of 7 extras, so look forward to them.

“Really?” Lifting his beautifully shaped eyebrows, Isaki inclined his head in doubt. 

“Yes.” 

“Really really? You’re not just acting along because Shinya begged you to?” 

“Why would Chihiro have to do such a thing?” Next to Chihiro, Mukai folded his arms exasperatedly. 

“I wouldn’t do anything of that sort, you know.” 

Isaki’s eyes widened in astonishment at Mukai’s natural use of ‘Chihiro.’ 

“Is that so? I was really surprised! But I’m really glad.” Finally looking like he accepted it, Isaki turned to Chihiro and grinned at him. “Take good care of Shinya.” 

A month had passed, and Chihiro had been spending every day off he had at Mukai’s place. He was shocked beyond his imagination by his lover’s nature to spoil and pamper him. 

“I tend to get really carried away, so it’s best you don’t rile me up.” 

Mukai was so caring and cherishing that he would unintentionally declare such a thing. 

“Shinya, you called yourself a sadist before, didn’t you?” 

“That’s just when the talk is about the bedroom. You know that I like making someone like you, who is a little bit selfish, cry, don’t you?” 

Hearing something like that said so calmly and nonchalantly, Chihiro’s face had turned red. He was completely used to sex now and was continuously discovering new sides to himself that he hadn’t known before. Sometimes, he was faced with mixed feelings, but he immediately thought ‘whatever’ and let himself go with the flow. So far, the relationship was progressing extremely well. 

Chihiro had left some of his loungewear in the closet in the bedroom, and yesterday, too, they met up after work and then returned together to the apartment. 

At that time, Mukai had asked him if it would be alright if Isaki dropped by the next day for some documents. 

“It’s not anything urgent, but when Isaki heard that I was dating you, he was so shocked, he didn’t really believe it.” 

Taking the opportunity while running some errands, Isaki wanted to see Chihiro, so Chihiro had made his way to the front entrance hallway. 

“Sorry to drop by so early in the morning.” Isaki smiled wryly at Mukai who handed him the documents with a look that said ‘Leave already.’ 

“But I really am glad. It was the first time I saw Shinya crying about how he couldn’t give up even though it was impossible and how he couldn’t forget you no matter what. Even I was hurt seeing him so miserable, having fallen in love with a straight guy. Minami-san, if you have any complaints, come discuss with me, okay? Also, please take care of Shinya for many years to come.” 

Mukai was annoyed at Isaki’s half-joking speech. 

“Bye-bye~” 

Chihiro waved goodbye and Isaki left. 

“Sorry, he’s so annoying and loud.” Mukai locked the front door and turned around. 

“No, it’s fine.”

He may have said it in a joking way, but Chihiro knew that Isaki was actually worried and came by to see the situation. 

Remembering Isaki’s relieved and happy expression, Chihiro thought he was a really good friend, and found himself smiling naturally. 

He reached for Mukai and linked their hands together, and Mukai squeezed his hand back in delight. 

“Hey, I i think I wanna drink some coffee~” 

For his lover that welcomed his self-indulgence, Chihiro voiced his petty little request, and thought to himself that he really was crazy about his boyfriend. 

“Chihiro”

Mukai leaned down slightly, while Chihiro tiptoed to meet him halfway in a kiss. 

The End.
