His Deep Well

To Be A Dreamer

"Takuma! Come on! Give it back", Naoki Shin yelled at me as I pulled his phone back further away for his reach. He kept complaining like a child and I laughed more at his pathetic attempt at getting his phone back. Naoki isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is damn well fun to mess with. We were in my office, trying to set up blueprints for a new project we were setting up when he was snapping pictures of me on his phone. He's always been trying to set me up with dates online and taking pictures of me to show those possible dates what I look like. I hate when he does that, and I take his phone away everytime. To be honest, as much as I hate him doing that, he has set me up with some pretty attractive guys, but they were never my types.

"Naoki! Get off!"

"Not until you give me my phone back!"

"No! We need to work, and I need your help! So stop taking pictures of me", I yelled as he climbed further on top of me. Unsuccessful with my attempt to get him off of me, Naoki started to lick my face and neck, in all of my sweet spots. I groaned and push him off of me and wipe his drool off of me as I handed him his phone.

"Yay", he cheered as he grabbed his phone back before I could change my mind.

"Gross... you know, just because we're both gay doesn't mean you can do that", I scolded as I got the rest of his saliva off of me. Naoki chuckled and smiled as he scrolled through that photos he got of me.

"I know. But it's the only way I can get my phone back", he smiled. I rolled my eyes and got up from my seat to review the prints. Naoki eventually joined me after he shook my thick, messy, brown hair from side to side. I groan as he smiles and falls back to the floor from his tippy toes since I'm slightly taller than him. I pulled him under my arm and shook out his spiky strawberry blonde hair as he giggled and pushed me away.

Naoki and I have been friends for so long that he's technically a brother to me. He confessed about a year ago that he had romantic feelings for me, but I rejected him. He's a pretty childish guy at times, but he is more mature than he looks. When I rejected him, we still stayed friends and we've actually bonded more after that. Granted, he has had his moments where I can tell he is 100% flirting with me, but we are still friends, technical brothers now. We've shared an apartment for about two years now and we've never fought once. Its nice, especially with what we've both been through.

I stared at the blueprints, analyzing each detail to see if we screwed up somewhere, when my boss, Daiki Riku, came in.

"How are those prints coming along", she asked as she leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. Naoki got up and smiled at her presence.

"Hello Ms. Riku! How has your day been?"

"Good. How about you?"

"Good too", Naoki smiled. Daiki cocked her head to look at me. I was still analyzing the prints, but I could see her in my peripheral vision.

"Well, I have some news for you two. There's a reporter coming here to interview and write a story on our company, and you two are going to be their main stars", Ms. Riku said with a little shake of her hands and hips to exaggerate 'main stars'. Naoki shot up in excitement and squealed a bit, making me chuckle.

"No way! Really?! This isn't a dream, is it", he exclaimed as he pinched his arm. Daiki smiled and pushed off the door frame.

"Nope, this is real. Dress nicer tomorrow, and please make this company look good", she said as she left for her office. Naoki nodded his head and jumped around like a child.

"Isn't this great Takuma! We get to be known by several thousands of people for our jobs! This is my dream! Aren't you excited too", he cheered as he jumped on my back.
