"Aaaa!" Mikaela slipped and fell to the ground, everyone gasped and ran to him asking if he was alright. "I'm fine." He said as he got up and walked away.
"Is there something wrong with our boss?" Someone asked. "He's been acting strange lately, dozing off into space, falling down, being clumsy."
"He's like a kid in love."
"Well technically he's still a small boy as far as I'm concerned."
"But do you really think he's in love?"
"Him? In love? Who would fall in love with him?"
"The boss might be cruel but don't forget that he's still very good looking. He's definitely in love, she must be so lucky."
"I'm so jealous, I wanted it to be me."
"Idiot, you're thirty two."
"So?"
"So you're two old, the boss has probably found a beautiful young lady in her early twenties with an hour glass figure ad huge boobs."
They heard a crash noise. "Are you blind? You could have gotten hurt if that vase fell on you." Yuu said.
"Get off me brat, what are you? My mother?" Mikaela said.
"Don't give me that crap you asshole." Yuu dragged him by the ear. "Let's go before you hurt yourself."
"Damn it tramp, let go!"
The crowd watched both boys leave. "Are those two closer than ever lately?"
"Closer than ever? The boy just dragged him by the ear."
"Don't tell me that he's-"
"I did hear that they were caught together in bed."
Everyone gasped. "Could it be? Could it possibly be true? Has Mr. Shindo fallen for that child?"
"What is he fourteen, fifteen? That's wrong, he's underage, Mr. Shindo should know better."
"Don't jump into conclusions, we're not sure if the boss actually likes him. For all we know, they could be just friends, maybe the boss is in love with miss Sayuri."
"How about you all get to work and stop meddling into Mr. Shindo's love life." Tomoe said.
"Tomoe, you're always with the boss, come on, spill it."
"There's nothing to be spilled, the boss doesn't have any romantic feelings towards anyone." Tomoe said. "Now all of you, get back to work."
"I think the boss is in love with the boy." Mariko said as everyone looked at her. "But he just doesn't know it yet, I mean it's not everyday the boss calls someone an angel."
"That's right, Mr. Shindo hired you back Mariko, was it because of the kid?"
Mariko nodded. "The boy has touched his heart and apparently, he doesn't plan of leaving it."
✨
"Honestly Mika, you really need to be careful." Yuu said as he sat down on the desk in front of Mikaela. "You didn't get hurt did you?" He leaned closer to him, Mikaela couldn't help but blush. "Come on let me s-" he trailed off when he felt himself being pushed away.
"Could you not get so close." Mikaela said.
"What's your problem?" Yuu asked.
"You're my problem." Mikaela said.
"Me? What the hell did I do this time?" Yuu asked.
Mikaela thought back to the kiss Yuu had given him, it was ever since that moment that he had been a wreck. He couldn't think straight, and was always bumping into people, tripping and throwing things down. "How dare you? You had no right to do that."
"No right to do what?" Yuu asked.
"To kiss me."
"K-kiss? Wait, is this about that kiss of the other day?" Yuu blushed. "I was confused ok, I didn't know what to do, I mean you called me an angel and I felt a simple thank you wouldn't have been enough."
"Thank you would have been fine." Mikaela said.
"You really hated it that much?" Yuu frowned. "Well I'm sorry for kissing you, just forget about it." He stood up to leave but Mikaela pushed him back to the desk.
"I didn't say I hated it." Mikaela said. "It just makes me feel like you've won, I won't be defeated by some brat."
"Defeated?" Yuu said. "Don't tell me you're still on about that, Mika kissing you wasn't part of messing around with you, and besides I thought that was over."
"Over? I said I'd make you beg, you haven't begged yet." Mikaela said.
"You really are a petty man indeed." Yuu said. "Anyway, I have to go now, my friend's coming over."
"Friend?"
"Yeah, Yoichi." Yuu said. "You know he's been in a slump lately and-"
"What exactly happened to him on that night?" Mikaela remembered the night of the storm, he knew that Yuu and Yoichi were lying though he didn't know what about. "Care to tell me?"
"It's none of your business."
"Then make it my business." Mikaela said. "Or do you want me to tell Tomoe?"
"Just forget it ok." Yuu said. "Look, I have to go now." He stood up and attempted to leave again but Mikaela stopped him. "What do you want now?"
"I'm going to punish you."
"Eh? Punish me? For what?"
"For kissing me." He pulled Yuu towards him, Yuu lost balance and fell right on his body. He looked up and their faces were just an inch apart from each other. "Maybe I should kiss you back?" He whispered to Yuu, the feel of the cool breath from his lips sent shiver down Yuu's back.
He could hardly breath in the position he was in. He couldn't even tell if he was breathing, but he did feel something, it was probably Mikaela's own heart beat. That's how close they were.
"Calm down, if your heart beat increase anymore, your heart could leap out of your chest." Mikaela said.
"What?" Yuu spoke. So he was breathing, and worse, his heart raced because of being so close to him. "Whatever, just let me go."
"I kind of like us being so close." Mikaela said.
"Well I don't." Yuu said as he pulled away from Mikaela and stood. "Good day." He said and began walking away.
"I'm going to steal your first kiss."
Yuu immediately stopped walking and turned to around, maybe he hadn't heard well, but he could have sworn Mikaela said something about stealing a kiss from him. "I'm sorry but what did you just say?"
"I said, I am going to kiss you." Mikaela said. "You heard me the first time."
"Mikaela don't joke around like that." Yuu said. "You can't kiss me, I mean, I'm a guy and you're a guy, guys don't kiss guys."
"If you think that's going to stop me, then think again." Mikaela said.
"But Mikaela why?" Yuu asked.
"Just a little way to get back at you." Mikaela said. "I'm in t letting you go just like that."
"Mikaela, please, don't joke around like this." Yuu said. "It was just a harmless little kiss on the cheek and it meant nothing at all. Please Mikaela, first kisses are special things and shouldn't be toyed around with."
"For girls." Mikaela said. "But if you're that scared then you don't have to be, I promise I'll make it worthwhile for you." He winked at him. And with that, Yuu knew he was a gonner.
✨
Yuu was unsteady for the rest of the day, he had just received a very serious threat from Mikaela and he didn't know when the man would strike. It was making him feel really uncomfortable not knowing when to expect him.
"Stupid Mika, why would he say something like that." Yuu frowned. "It was just some dumb kiss, why is he taking it so far, it's not fair. It isn't fair at all, now my first kiss is going to be tampered with." He touched his lips and thought about how it would feel having someone else's own on them.
Yuu really didn't know anything about kissing, the only knowledge he had of them were from romance books and nothing more. Though Yoichi had enlightened him on it, one time, since he had kissed someone, but Yuu has never experienced the real thing. His lack of knowledge might make things go bad for him, what if Mikaela hates the kiss?
"Huh? W-what am I thinking?" He yelled. "I'm not suppose to care if he hates it or not, I should try my hardest to stop him from kissing me." He stood up from his bed. "I know, I'll just avoid him until he or realizes how foolish he's being and is ready to give up." Someone knocked on his door and he went to open it. "Yoichi."
"Hi Yuu-kun." Yoichi waved and walked into the room.
"How have you been?" Yuu asked.
"Fine I guess." Yoichi sat on the bed and sighed. "I still can't forget him, it's not easy Yuu-kun."
"I'm sorry Yoichi." Yuu held him. "I'm sure you'll find someone else out there and the person will love you even more than Kimizuki."
"No." Yoichi said. "I don't want someone else, I want him, I want Shiho. I love him so much Yuu-kun."
"Hey, why don't we look on the bright side of things." Yuu said. "At least we're both now single together again." Yoichi frowned at him, he used a pillow and hit him. "Ouch! Ok maybe that isn't a bright side."
Yoichi sighed and laid back on the bed. "It's not fair, I want Shiho back, I'll do anything to get him back. By the way Yuu-kun, can I ask you something?"
"Sure what is it?" Yuu smiled.
"What is your relationship with Mr. Shindo?" Yoichi asked.
"What?" Yuu jumped. "Relationship? Mika and I are just friends, were you given the wrong idea about us?"
"Mi-ka?" Yoichi frowned. "Tomoe was right."
"What? What did she say?" Yuu asked.
"Tomoe comes home telling me about Mr. Shindo." Yoichi said. "Of course I don't want to listen but I have no choice, she comes home drunk and whining about how Mr. Shindo will never realize her love for him because he's blinded by you. You two have become so close that you even call him a nickname and you've even been caught in bed together."
"Lies, all lies." Yuu said. "She was drunk, she didn't know what she was saying at that time, please ignore her, she was just drunk."
"You are the worst." Yoichi said. "Here I am dealing with a broken heart and all you're doing is playing hoe with a millionaire. A FUCKING MILLIONAIRE."
Yuu could tell that Yoichi was really angry, it wasn't everyday that his cute and innocent friend would cuss. "I'm not I swear." Yuu said. "Yes I admit it, our relationship has been a good one but we're just friends I swear."
"You're a seventeen year old kid, you can't be just friends with a twenty four year old billionaire." Yoichi said.
"Yoichi I swear it, Mika and i are just friends." Yuu said.
"Whatever you say." Yoichi said. "Hey, can you get me something to eat and lots of it, I want to eat away the pain."
"Oh Yoichi." Yuu patted his head.
✨
Yuu was happy that Yoichi was doing better, the day after the break up he was a mess but now he was all good and it made him happy. In his hands were many snacks as he prepared to go give them to Yoichi, there were much, but he had seen Yoicho eat when in pain. He was a big eater. He turned to leave but stopped when he found Mikaela standing by the door. He was trapped in.
"What are you doing with all those food?" Mikaela asked.
"It's for Yoichi." Yuu said. "Could you please excuse me."
"Still feeling nervous about what I said?" He smirked.
"Just leave me alone." Yuu blushed and walked towards him but Mikaela blocked the way. "Mika, out of the way, I have to get this to Yoichi." Mikaela began walking towards him, Yuu was scared, he moved backwards but then felt his back hit the wall. Before he could escape Mikaela had trapped him with his hand. "What are you doing? Get off."
"To save you the stress, why don't I kiss you now." He said.
Yuu saw Mikaela's lips slowly leaning down and coming close to him. This was it. He was really going to do it, no joke about it, he was getting his first kiss that moment. He didn't know what hat to do so he did the first thing that came to his mind, he closed his eyes. As their lips almost met there was a flash.
"Huh?" They both looked and saw Yoichi by the door with his phone. He had just taken a picture of them. "The billionaire and the orphan in a heated relationship, what a scoop." He said and began walking away.
"No wait, Yoichi." Yuu pushed Mikaela away and ran after Yoichi. He caught up to him. "Yoichi, please, I can explain."
"Ok, explain, explain why you were about to kiss a man that is clearly too old for you." Yoichi said.
"Well I- hey don't play innocent here, Kimizuki is older than Mika." Yuu said.
"So?" Yoichi asked as he looked at the picture. "You both look really good you know." He showed the picture to Yuu.
"Indeed we do." Mikaela said. "Can you send that to me?"
"When did you get here? Yoichi please don't do it. He'll use it against-" Yuu was stopped by the sound of a click and an inbox message tune.
"Sent." Yoichi said.
"Damn you, Yoichi you're supposed to be my friend." Yuu said.
"This is going to a good screensaver." Mikaela said as he walked away.
"MIKAELA!" Yuu called.
"So, do you mind telling me about your relationship now." Yoichi said.
✨
"Kiss you?" Yoichi asked as Yuu nodded.
"That's it." Yuu said. "We're not in a romantic relationship or anything but he's willing to go the extra mile just to get at me."
"You used to hate this guy right?" Yoichi asked.
"With every thing in me, every bone, every proton, every damn thing inside me." Yuu pouted. "And now, I like him, because he's changed, he really is a sweet guy." He smiled.
"I see." Yoichi said. "Sounds like your a couple in making to me."
Yuu sighed. "We are not a couple, anyway believe whatever you want. My problem here is that kiss, Yoichi what do I do?"
"Simple. Let him kiss you." Yoichi said. "Just be done with it and get it over with."
"But I don't want to." Yuu said.
"The picture says otherwise." Yoichi showed him the picture on his phone.
"Because he surprised me." Yuu said. "I won't know when to expect me, I'll just get surprised and trapped to a wall and it's all down hill from there."
"Then why not surprise him yourself?" Yoichi said. "Instead of him kissing you, why don't you kiss him? Be the one to make the move."
"But we'd still be missing." Yuu said.
"Yes, but you'd be the winner." Yoichi said. "It's not like he wants to be with you or something like that, he just wants to kiss you to have the last laugh, so you kissing him instead will come as a shock to him. He won't even know what hit him."
"True." Yuu said. "But I don't know, what if me not knowing how to kiss ruins it? He can use that to his advantage."
"Just do all you can to make the kiss as enjoyable as impossible." Yoichi said.
"But then.." Yuu blushed. "I've always wanted my first kiss to be with someone I spend my life with."
"This is reality Yuu-kun, not a fairytale." Yoichi said. "Take my pathetic and miserable love life for example. I'm a complete mess. Romance doesn't happen so easily like fairy tales make them too."
"That's true but let's not forget, there was always a downfall in fairy tales." Yuu said. "They always go through some problem before they can have their happily ever after, maybe that's what you're going through right now."
"I wish." Yoichi said.
"Don't worry Yoichi, I know everything will be just fine." Yuu smiled. "You just need to be patient ok."
✨
Three days, it had been three days and Yuu was going to crack. Instead of trying to kiss Mikaela, Yuu had taken the cowardly route and tried avoiding him. He felt so unsafe, the only safe times were in school, but when he returned home, he became so terrified.
He had seen Mikaela sometimes but he made sure that he was with someone at that time and stayed with then until Mikaela left. Another thing that helped him was the fact that the office and Mikaela's room were on the east wing of the mansion while his place was in the west. So far it was going good, he just hoped he could keep it up.
Currently, he was on the stairs, he didn't really worry about Mikaela because he was out, even though the stairs was facing the front door, the place was filled up a bit with people so he had nothing to worry about.
He was reading a book and was so engrossed in it. He didn't know how much time had passed but he was surprised when he looked up from his book and saw that he was alone. No time to waste he hurriedly stood up and attempted to leave, but it was too late. The doors opened and Nikaela walked in.
"Yuu?"
Yuu felt like a gonner. He decided to play it cool. "Mika, welcome back, how are you?"
"Fine." Mikaela said. "What are you doing here?"
"Me? Just reading. But I about to go to my room. It's getting late." He began climbing the stairs, he heard footsteps and turned to see Mikaela on the other side of the stairs. "What are you doing?"
"Going up."
"Ok." Yuu said and continued walking, as did Mikaela. He stopped and Mikaela did the same, no doubt, he was following him. Yuu tried to think his way out if this but he was trapped. His room was on the left and Mikaela was on the left. His only way out as a miracle.
"Son." A miracle came by in the firm of Krul. "Son I need to-" Yuu took the opportunity and ran away. "What's his problem?"
✨
Yuu prepared himself for bed. His heart was still racing from his encounter with Mikaela a few hours ago. "Thank you Krul."
"Are you serious?" A voice asked frightening him, he turned and saw Mikaela.
"Mika? H-how did you?" He saw him swinging a key around.
"I can't believe you didn't bolt it." Mikaela said. "This is my home, I have a master key to every bedroom."
"It's late Mikaela, go t bed." Yuu said.
Mikaela smirked and walked closer to it. Now this was the real deal, he was coming and Yuu knew there was no escape, the only thing that was going to save him was being he one to make the move. He was shaking all over, he bit his lips as Mikaela drew closer to him and without another though, he went in and kissed his lips.
Warm. So warm. Yuu had never felt such warmth before in his life, and not just that, but also Mikaela's lips were sweet. He wanted to taste more, he wanted to deepen the kiss but instead pulled away from him as tears dropped from his eyes. He had made the first move but he didn't feel any better, in fact, he felt so much worse.
"Why did you do that?" Mikaela asked.
"Because.." Yuu cried. "Now, at least I can rest. Knowing that you won't be trying to kiss me."
"I was nerves going to kiss you in the first place." Mikaela said. "I only wanted to make you crack, feel uncomfortable, I wasn't going to kiss you, until now."
"W-" Yuu found himself trapped by the wall and Mikaela again. He was still crying. "Let me go, let me go Mikaela, I'm sick of this let me g-" Yuu was silenced when Mikaela kissed him. It was just five minutes and he was already getting a second kiss. "Stop that." Yuu said when they parted. "We're not supposed t-" he was silenced again by another kiss. "Mika st-" Mikaela repeatedly kissed him not caring to hear him out.
"Stop it Mikaela, why are you doing this to me?"
"I could ask you the same thing." Mikaela said. "How dare you? You come into my life and refuse leaving? Always invading my sleep, always on my mind. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm just a kid." Yuu cried. "I don't understand any of this Mika. I'm just a stupid orphan, and here I am kissing a millionaire. I never saw any of this, I don't know how to go about this, I'm so confused. Mikaela, I'm so confused." Mikaela smiled and held his chin.
"You don't have to be." He said. "And even if you are, I don't blame you, you're only just a brat you know. You still need to hold an adults hand." He took Yuu's hands and his their fingers entertained. "And I want to be that adult, I'm giving you my hand and I want you to take it, will you? Yuichiro?"
Yuu nodded. How can he say no? Mikaela smiled and leaned in and once again their lips met. The difference this time was that both were participating, not just one. Yuu's heart raced as he and Mikaela kissed, his hands were wrapped firmly around Mikaela's neck while Mikaela's hands were on his waist.
They finally parted as Yuu began to pant. Mikaela watched him, the boys face was completely red, his lips wet and the noises that escaped them, all together, they were going to drive Mikaela insane. He carried Yuu and laid him on the bed, climbing on top him and kissing his entire face, his forehead, his nose and then kissing his lips once again.
Mikaela rolled over to the side of the bed, but bringing Yuu along and their lips not parting. They were now beside each other still kissing. They would question themselves the next day as to why? But until then they were just going to relish the moment, it was probably the best moment either of them had experienced in their entire lives.
