Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3
Jin groaned as he put his pillow over his head, trying to block out the rattling sounds that came from under his bed, caused by his cellphone that was currently vibrating against what seemed to be a pile of rocks. (Judging by the sound it was making)
He gave up after the fourth series of vibrations, reached downwards to grab his phone, resulting in his face being even more plastered in his pillow. He let out a small sigh of relief when his fingers curled around the object and he turned on his back to see what all the fuss was about.
He unlocked his phone by pressing the button on the side and immediately let out a string of curses as he was blinded by its light. He brought down the luminosity and squinted to see who was bothering him one hour before his alarm.
Of course, it had to be Pi. Who else would text him so early in the morning?
Pi: Wakey wakey!
Pi: Today is the day straight boy!
Pi: How are we feeling?
Pi: Are you going to be a daddy?
Another groan escaped his lips
Jin: stfu. it’s too early for your shit pi.
Pi: *gasp* I just want what’s best 4 u buddy!
Jin: than u can start by not texting me at 6 fucking a.m.
Pi: S’not my fault your keep your phone on.
Jin had to admit it… his friend was right. Again. He sighed.
Jin: S’not even a date date. It’s a Thank you for taking care of my girl date.
Pi: She doesn’t even know you’re gay!!!!!11
Jin: DETAILS, PI, DETAILS
Pi: Anyways. I’m gonna need u to tell me how it all blows up.
Jin: U know i tell u everything anyways.
Pi: Have a good day <3 Love you!
Jin laughed at his friends behaviour. There was no way he would get back to sleep after this.
Jin: Stop being gay. that’s my thing.
Pi: :-(
Jin: <3
He put his phone aside and decided that it was time to start his day. Laying in bed watching old Youtube videos wouldn’t make time move faster.
First stop: showering.
--
He was out the door earlier than ever and he didn’t quite know what to do with his time. In the two weeks that he’d been working, he had gotten used to going down to the bakery for his coffee and a pastry (or two) and bringing them to work with him.
He entered the bakery and, as luck would have it, the baker was there, concentrated on icing a cake. Today, his handsome baker was sporting a cute-ass dinosaur bandana, emphasis on the cute-ass as Jin couldn’t believe how good it looked on the other, even though it seemed extremely childish. It was like every time he saw him, the man got hotter. Maybe it was because of the fact that the man worked in a bakery? Or was it because of his headwear? Jin couldn’t quite describe it. Sure, most of the bandanas he had seen up till now had been silly-looking but it made the baker look all that more appealing to him. Damn him for that. He found himself wondering how many different bandanas did Kame own. Would he one day see one more than twice? Was it weird that he could remember every bandana he’d seen up till today?
Jin quickly noted that he was alone in the bakery and that if other people were there, they were probably employees that were in the back. Probably.
He approached the counter and bit down on the insides of his cheeks, unsure of how to start up a conversation. Should he just be casual, say hi and order...or should he be more friendly...or flirty? Maybe he should wait for Kame to notice him...Or maybe he’s getting too concerned with the little things...
“-Usual?” A faraway voice said.
“Huh?”
Jin blinked a few times, trying to force his way out of his trance and noticed that Kame, who was still leaned over his cake, was now looking at him, a smile across his lips.
“I’m sorry,” Jin let out a small nervous laugh, hoping that his face wasn’t as red as it actually felt. “What?”
Kame laughed and stood up straight, whipping his forehead as he did. Afterwhich Jin couldn’t help but laugh a bit.
“What?” Kame asked him, knowing that Jin was laughing at him. “What?!” He looked around, trying to spot the thing Jin was laughing at. “Is there something on my face?” Jin nodded and pointed his own forehead, resulting in Kame going cross-eyed to try and look at his own forehead and pressing his fingers against it to in the end discover a cold blue substance. “Oops.” He licked it off and Jin swore that it was in slow motion like in the movies. With an explosion of roses in the background and even a sexual noise escaping the bakers lips as they made eye contact.
Wait no.
That noise was about to escape his lips. He quickly inhaled but ended up choking on his own saliva, alerting the handsome baker who was around the corner with a hand on Jin’s back within seconds.
“Are you ok?”
There it was again.
The anime!like embellishment. The flowers, the sparkles in the eyes...the only thing that was missing was a nosebleed.
Thankfully, that only happened in works of fiction. Which this wasn’t.
“I’m sorry, I’m pretty out of it,” he started to explain as he took out his wallet to fetch his money.
“Rough night?” The baker asked, pouring him a large black coffee.
Jin let out a small laugh and put a few bills on the counter. “More like a rough morning. A friend of mine texted me and I forgot to put my phone on silent last night so the vibration woke me up. I’m really not a morning person.”
Kame laughed. “Yeah, i’ve noticed,” he said, “can I get you anything else? A pastry?”
“Do you have those small apple pies? The mini ones?” That are as cute as your face?
“Of course. Let me get you some.”
Jin had realized that he was in trouble a while ago. His crush was getting worse and worse and now that he was watching the said crush walk away, he realized that he couldn’t tear his eyes off of him. This was becoming too real, too fast. But, then again, who cared. He was allowed to have a crush. Go big or go home! Right? Right.
Once his pies were secured in his hands and that he had looked at Kame one last time, Jin headed straight to work. Where he’d regret not eating his pies at the bakery.
“Akanishi?”
He should’ve locked his door. Or at least close it. Jin knew better than that, he really did. He had barely sat down when Taguchi was already bursting into his office with his usual happy face on. “I smell pie!” He announced with a humongous smile.
Jin didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know anyone that could smell pie from that far away. (Other than himself that is.) With his foot, he gently pushed the pies under his desk so Junno wouldn’t see them. They were his pies. His. “Must be someone else!” He said as nonchalantly as possible.
“You’re lying. I smell the pie on you.”
Jin sighed and rolled his eyes. “Fine, close the door.”
Once Junno had made sure that no one would disturb them, Jin took the pies out of the bag and placed them on top of his desk. “They smell like heaven,’” Junno hurried to comment, watching Jin’s every move.
“They taste like heaven too,” Jin added, placing the lid of the first pie aside and giving Junno one of the extra forks he had collected during the week. “Go ahead. It’s still a little bit warm~” he insisted, pushing the box towards Junno, who was looking at him like he had given him the world.
As Junno’s lips closed over his fork, he melted into a pile of goo in his chair. It was like all of his problems had disappeared and all of his childhood issues had flown away. “I forgive you mom!” He muttered, his eyes closed.
“Junno you’re getting weird,” Jin said to him, kicking him from under the desk. But Junno didn’t stop. He started to squirm on his chair and if Jin hadn’t kicked him again, he would’ve made sounds that Jin didn’t want to hear from him. “JUNNOUSKE. STOP IT.” Jin shouted.
Sitting up straight, Junno placed his plate down and wiped his mouth. “I’m sorry. It’s just really good.”
“Yeah, I know,” Jin simply added, stuffing his face with another bite. They would share this one and the other one he would (try to) keep for the weekend. Maybe he could send one to Pi one day. Make him know what he’s missing.
“Where did you get these?! WAIT...you didn’t MAKE THEM did you?!”
Junno didn’t know Jin yet. He could lie and keep on living a lie for the rest of his life. Junno would never know. Well, Junno could ask him to show him how to make one and Jin could lie and say that he didn’t have the time but this could go on for years...hmm… yeah, he was better of not lying about this. He just didn’t want Junno to sweep the handsome baker guy off his feet and bring him far away. Hell, he didn’t even know if Junno like girls boys or flowers but the baker was sacred to him. Sacred.
“I didn’t make them, obviously,” he said as if Junno knew that he couldn’t cook. “Bought them at a bakery near my place.”
“You HAVE to take me there one day during lunch. Do they have other stuff?”
“They do. But…”
“But what?” Junno made sure his eyes were as wide and as glassy as he could as he looked into Jin’s. “But what?”
“I…”
“What? You like someone there and you don’t want me to like them too?” He teased.
“WHAT. NO. OH MY GOD NO,” Jin nearly shouted. He had never been able to filter his words. Never. Most of the time, it betrayed him. Whether it was because he hadn’t done his homework at school or because he was talking back to his mom. Any situation could be applied. Most of the time, Pi took advantage of it and to this day, Jin still didn’t know why he put up with the man.
“If I didn’t know any better, I would say that I’m right,” Junno laughed, leaning back into his chair and crossing his arms. “I am right, right?”
Jin groaned and ruffled his hair with annoyance. “YES. YES YOU’RE RIGHT. I LIKE THE BAKER. THERE. I SAID IT.” He leaned over his desk and made sure that Junno was listening to him because he wouldn’t say this twice. “If you tell anybody, I will make sure you won’t be able to say anything after,” he hissed out.
Junno couldn’t help but laugh at this new flustered side of Jin. He had only known the man for a week but they had bonded quickly over stupid puns and a mutual like of video games. “Don’t worry~ I won’t go after your girl,” he said, waving his hand in the air around him as if to tell Jin to calm down before taking the last bit of his pie. “Besides, I’m totally gay!”
The sound that Jin’s fork made as it hit his desk and then the ground made Junno look up from his plate to see the look of horror that was now taking place on Jin’s face. “What?” He said with a chuckle, finishing off his last bite.
“No, no no no no no!” Jin said and kept on repeating. “No! NO!”
“What?!”
“NO. You can’t be gay!”
It didn’t take long for Jin’s words to change Junno’s expression altogether. He pursed out his lips and kept on staring at Jin for a while. “Are you a homophobe Akanishi?” He spitted out, annoyance clear on his face. At least know Jin knew that Junno could have a serious side.
Now it was Jin’s turn to be shocked. “What?!” He shrieked out. “I am not!”
“Why can’t I be gay then?!”
“Because I’M gay! And you’re going to steal my handsome baker!”
Junno shrugged but laughed nonetheless. “Don’t worry. I won’t steal your man. I have boundries you know? And going after an other guy’s man is one of them.”
“That’s the thing though, he’s not my man. He doesn’t know that I like him and I don’t know what to do!” Jin said in a voice that sounded way less panicky in his head than it did coming out of his mouth.
“I see...well, until I get to meet the guy, I can’t really help you. I guess…you’re going to have to take me to your bakery of happiness.”
Jin groaned and let his head fall to his desk.
‘What time to you usually get to work by the way?” The other lawyer questioned.
“8:30, why?”
“No reason,” Junnosuke said with a smile, finishing off his last piece of pie.
Thank God it was the weekend. After work, he would go home, take a long-ass shower, go to diner with Haruka, after which he would call Pi to tell him about how meaningless the diner was and about the fact that he had been wrong, that it wasn’t a date, and then he'd go to sleep with no alarm to wake him on Saturday morning.
That sounded great.
His day at work went by without any other questions or comments from Junno. He managed to work on a few cases, meet a client, clear his paperwork and, he had had the time to get himself a coffee in the afternoon, after which he had spoken with a few of his colleagues for a couple of minutes.
--
Jin looked at his reflexion in the mirror one last time before deciding that it was time to go. He hadn’t tried too hard with his attire. They were going to a somewhat fancy restaurant but it was not a date. He knew that and Tomohisa knew that. So there. Not a date.
He went down a few flights of stairs and froze once his hand was on the door knob of the fourth floor. He knew what floor but he couldn’t remember what door number. Shit
He wandered into the hall and inspected every door. Maybe one of them would give off the “my-kid-likes-to-draw-everywhere” vide and have some type of drawing on it.
“Or not,” he muttered as he had reached the end of the hallway.
Jin shrugged, his hands buried deep into his pockets and he walked down the hall once more, hoping for a sign or something. Anything at this point would work for him.
“Jin?”
He turned on his heels and saw a woman standing in the hall, two doors away from where he was. “Hi!” He said, nervous butterflies starting to form in his stomach.
Not because he was nervous for the date, but because he knew that he was going to do something stupid sometime during the night and he didn’t know when.
“What are you doing all the way over there?” Haruka asked him with a small laugh escaping her lips.
“I…” He scratched the back of his head, trying to find a good reason but gave up when he saw the look Haruka was giving him.. “I didn’t remember which door,” he admitted. “I knew the floor but not the number.”
“42,” she said, pointing the number on her door before hooking her arm with Jin’s. “Now, let’s go. I’ve been waiting for this date all week!”
Jin let her pull him along but his eyes had widened and his stomach had done 3 or 4 loop-de-loops. THIS IS A DATE?! Man was he in for a rough night.
--
SHE KISSED YOU!?! ON THE FIRST DATE?!
“SHUT UP PI!” Jin shouted into his cellphone, letting himself fall on his couch with the bottom of a cold beer resting on his forehead.
I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE KISSED YOU.
“YES OK. SHE KISSED ME. JUST SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY SO WE CAN MOVE ON OK?!”
Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaat? Jin… I’m a better friend than that. I can’t believe you think that I would say something to kick you when you’re down like this. I am hurt, Jin. Physically, hurt.
“Pi.”
You reailly think that I-
Jin groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to control the headache that was about to surface. “Pi - “ He repeated, trying to get a word into the conversation.
Shh. I’m talking. You think that I would say something like “I told you so”? THis early after THIS type of event?
“Pi.”
Hurt, Jin. Hurt is what I am..
“Can I speak now?”
No.
“But I -”
I have questions that need to be answered.
“Fine. Shoot.”
What did you do? After the kiss I mean.
“How old are you?” Jin laughed, taking a long gulp of his beer. “You’re acting like a highschool girl!”
I’m your bestfriend. Can you blame me for wanting to know more about how your straight relationships go? Because I really am interested Jin, really.
“Yeah thanks, I got that.”
“So? Whaddya do?”
“I froze. I just stood there like a deer staring into the headlights of a car, waiting to be hit! A bright light blinding the -”
A bright light? Tomohisa’s voice laugh on the other end of the line. Dude where the fuck were you.
“Shut up!” Jin hissed back, getting more annoyed with his friend by the second. “My vision went blank and my ears started ringing and -”
Ah~ a blossoming love. How sweet
“Pi shut up! This is serious!”
Did you at least tell her you were gay after?
“I might’ve forgotten that detail.”
Well then, congratulations Jin!
Jin placed his empty beer bottle of the coffee table and lifted his legs up high and back down to work his abs as he spoke with his friend. “For what?”
You’re now a step-father!“
“WHAT?!”
I always knew you were straight Jin. It’s like they say: you never know until you try it!
“I’m not straight, Pi!” He insisted, his legs going up and down faster and faster as his annoyance grew.
Denial, Tomohisa laughed. Love that! It’s like we’ve taken a classic text-book love story and we applied it your life!
Jin sighed again, sitting up straight. “Pi.” What had he done to deserve this treatment?!
You’re right. It’s probably just a “straight” phase. You’re curious, I get it. Women are hot.
“Yamashita.”
The other man laughed again. I kid, I kid. You now HAVE a kid but me? No. I’m just kidding.
“Why do I put up with you?”
Because i’m hot and-
“I should’ve called Reio!” Jin hurried to add, refusing to let Tomohisa finish that sentence.
“You can stop laughing now,” Jin said with annoyance as the other had exploded into laughter as soon as Jin had mentioned his younger brother. “FINE. You’re right! He wouldn’t put up with me and my...straight shenanigans.”
That’s the spirit! Next time you come home, I’ll introduce you do some of my lady friends that were drying to meet you...go figure. He added under his breath, barely loud enough for Jin to hear.
Sadly Jin did hear but he decided to let that one slide. “Pi.”
Fine. Ok. You still want the baker guy don’t you
“I dooooooooooooooooo,” Jin said with a whine. “I really really do!”
Damn. You’re really gay, aren’t you?
“I really am, sorry.” He didn’t know why he was apologising but he felt like it was necessary, if only to easy Tomohisa’s pain a little.
When do you plan on telling her you’re gay?
“I don’t know...I was thinking that maybe she could find out once I marry Kame?”
Marry?! Tomohisa snorted. For all we know the guy has a huge police background and he’s into some weird-ass kinky shit!
Jin couldn’t help but laugh. “There are a few reason as to we never talk about sex, Pi.” He told his friend, already aware of the type of reaction that he was going to get. “One of them being because I’m gay and you don’t want to know and well, I don’t want to know about your...lady friends and the other is-”
DON’T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE. PLEASE. YOU’VE ALREADY MADE ME IMAGINE STUFF THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO SEE.
“EW PI, NO. EW. Get your head out of the gutter! Jeez, I was going to say that the other reason is -”
Bye Jin, I don’t wanna know, I’ll talk to you once I’ve bleached my brain, could luck with your woman, bye!
Jin stared blankly at his phone after Tomohisa had hung up on him. He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t even a little bit satisfied with the way this had turned out. Freaking out Tomohisa was one of his favourite pastimes after all.
--
The weekend passed in a blur. Jin did his laundry, his groceries, a little bit of paperwork, played a few games, talked with Tomohisa (again) and before he knew it, Monday was already there and he was tying his tie with a smile on his face. Boy was he happy.
Not many people liked Mondays, but for Jin, it meant seeing Kame. Kame who only worked during the weeks, Kame who made his days all that better without even knowing or trying. Kame who was his -
“Who the fuck is ringing at my door at 7:20 in the morning?!” He muttered with a long line of swears as he made his way to his intercom to swear at the person that was obviously ringing at the wrong door. “What?!”
Akanishi?
Taken aback, Jin took a second to collect himself. Not a wrong number… “Yes?”
It’s me! The person said as if Jin would recognize them over an intercom that did horrible things to voices. Junno!
Ah. Well, it didn’t make a lick of sense as to why Junnosuke would be at his place but Jin buzzed him in nonetheless and waited for him to reach his door, arms crossed against his chest, annoyance clear on his face. “Come in!” He said once Junno had knocked.
“Thank you for having me~” The other lawyer said upon entering Jin’s flat, ignoring Jin’s current stance and eying the apartment. “Wow, nice place!”
“What are you doing here? I thought you lived all the way across town.”
“I mean, the place looked weird from outside but your apartment looks really good!”
“Taguchi.”
Jin had never seen the smile that Junnosuke was currently sporting on his face. He didn’t know (yet) that it meant that he had been plotting something evil. He had no idea what was coming. Had he known that this man was evil, he would’ve said hello on the first day and kept it at that.
“I’m here to accompany you to the cute bakery I saw next to your building!” He announce with a smile as Jin died inside.
Fuck Mondays

He entered the bakery and, as luck would have it, the baker was there, concentrated on icing a cake. Today, his handsome baker was sporting a cute-ass dinosaur bandana, emphasis on the cute-ass as Jin couldn’t believe how good it looked on the other, even though it seemed extremely childish.

Jin quickly noted that he was alone in the bakery and that if other people were there, they were probably employees that were in the back. Probably.
He approached the counter and bit down on the insides of his cheeks, unsure of how to start up a conversation. Should he just be casual, say hi and order...or should he be more friendly...or flirty? Maybe he should wait for Kame to notice him...Or maybe he’s getting too concerned with the little things...

Wait no.
That noise was about to escape his lips. He quickly inhaled but ended up choking on his own saliva, alerting the handsome baker who was around the corner with a hand on Jin’s back within seconds.
“Are you ok?”
There it was again.
The anime!like embellishment. The flowers, the sparkles in the eyes...the only thing that was missing was a nosebleed.
Thankfully, that only happened in works of fiction. Which this wasn’t.
“I’m sorry, I’m pretty out of it,” he started to explain as he took out his wallet to fetch his money.
“Rough night?” The baker asked, pouring him a large black coffee.
Jin let out a small laugh and put a few bills on the counter. “More like a rough morning. A friend of mine texted me and I forgot to put my phone on silent last night so the vibration woke me up. I’m really not a morning person.”
Kame laughed. “Yeah, i’ve noticed,” he said, “can I get you anything else? A pastry?”
“Do you have those small apple pies? The mini ones?” That are as cute as your face?
“Of course. Let me get you some.”
Jin had realized that he was in trouble a while ago. His crush was getting worse and worse and now that he was watching the said crush walk away, he realized that he couldn’t tear his eyes off of him. This was becoming too real, too fast. But, then again, who cared. He was allowed to have a crush. Go big or go home! Right? Right.
Once his pies were secured in his hands and that he had looked at Kame one last time, Jin headed straight to work. Where he’d regret not eating his pies at the bakery.
“Akanishi?”
He should’ve locked his door. Or at least close it. Jin knew better than that, he really did. He had barely sat down when Taguchi was already bursting into his office with his usual happy face on. “I smell pie!” He announced with a humongous smile.
Jin didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know anyone that could smell pie from that far away. (Other than himself that is.) With his foot, he gently pushed the pies under his desk so Junno wouldn’t see them. They were his pies. His. “Must be someone else!” He said as nonchalantly as possible.

“Junno you’re getting weird,” Jin said to him, kicking him from under the desk. But Junno didn’t stop. He started to squirm on his chair and if Jin hadn’t kicked him again, he would’ve made sounds that Jin didn’t want to hear from him. “JUNNOUSKE. STOP IT.” Jin shouted.
Sitting up straight, Junno placed his plate down and wiped his mouth. “I’m sorry. It’s just really good.”
“Yeah, I know,” Jin simply added, stuffing his face with another bite. They would share this one and the other one he would (try to) keep for the weekend. Maybe he could send one to Pi one day. Make him know what he’s missing.
“Where did you get these?! WAIT...you didn’t MAKE THEM did you?!”
Junno didn’t know Jin yet. He could lie and keep on living a lie for the rest of his life. Junno would never know. Well, Junno could ask him to show him how to make one and Jin could lie and say that he didn’t have the time but this could go on for years...hmm… yeah, he was better of not lying about this. He just didn’t want Junno to sweep the handsome baker guy off his feet and bring him far away. Hell, he didn’t even know if Junno like girls boys or flowers but the baker was sacred to him. Sacred.
“I didn’t make them, obviously,” he said as if Junno knew that he couldn’t cook. “Bought them at a bakery near my place.”
“You HAVE to take me there one day during lunch. Do they have other stuff?”
“They do. But…”
“But what?” Junno made sure his eyes were as wide and as glassy as he could as he looked into Jin’s. “But what?”
“I…”
“What? You like someone there and you don’t want me to like them too?” He teased.
“WHAT. NO. OH MY GOD NO,” Jin nearly shouted. He had never been able to filter his words. Never. Most of the time, it betrayed him. Whether it was because he hadn’t done his homework at school or because he was talking back to his mom. Any situation could be applied. Most of the time, Pi took advantage of it and to this day, Jin still didn’t know why he put up with the man.
“If I didn’t know any better, I would say that I’m right,” Junno laughed, leaning back into his chair and crossing his arms. “I am right, right?”
Jin groaned and ruffled his hair with annoyance. “YES. YES YOU’RE RIGHT. I LIKE THE BAKER. THERE. I SAID IT.” He leaned over his desk and made sure that Junno was listening to him because he wouldn’t say this twice. “If you tell anybody, I will make sure you won’t be able to say anything after,” he hissed out.
Junno couldn’t help but laugh at this new flustered side of Jin. He had only known the man for a week but they had bonded quickly over stupid puns and a mutual like of video games. “Don’t worry~ I won’t go after your girl,” he said, waving his hand in the air around him as if to tell Jin to calm down before taking the last bit of his pie. “Besides, I’m totally gay!”
The sound that Jin’s fork made as it hit his desk and then the ground made Junno look up from his plate to see the look of horror that was now taking place on Jin’s face. “What?” He said with a chuckle, finishing off his last bite.
“No, no no no no no!” Jin said and kept on repeating. “No! NO!”
“What?!”
“NO. You can’t be gay!”
It didn’t take long for Jin’s words to change Junno’s expression altogether. He pursed out his lips and kept on staring at Jin for a while. “Are you a homophobe Akanishi?” He spitted out, annoyance clear on his face. At least know Jin knew that Junno could have a serious side.
Now it was Jin’s turn to be shocked. “What?!” He shrieked out. “I am not!”
“Why can’t I be gay then?!”
“Because I’M gay! And you’re going to steal my handsome baker!”
Junno shrugged but laughed nonetheless. “Don’t worry. I won’t steal your man. I have boundries you know? And going after an other guy’s man is one of them.”
“That’s the thing though, he’s not my man. He doesn’t know that I like him and I don’t know what to do!” Jin said in a voice that sounded way less panicky in his head than it did coming out of his mouth.
“I see...well, until I get to meet the guy, I can’t really help you. I guess…you’re going to have to take me to your bakery of happiness.”
Jin groaned and let his head fall to his desk.
‘What time to you usually get to work by the way?” The other lawyer questioned.
“8:30, why?”
“No reason,” Junnosuke said with a smile, finishing off his last piece of pie.
Thank God it was the weekend. After work, he would go home, take a long-ass shower, go to diner with Haruka, after which he would call Pi to tell him about how meaningless the diner was and about the fact that he had been wrong, that it wasn’t a date, and then he'd go to sleep with no alarm to wake him on Saturday morning.
That sounded great.
His day at work went by without any other questions or comments from Junno. He managed to work on a few cases, meet a client, clear his paperwork and, he had had the time to get himself a coffee in the afternoon, after which he had spoken with a few of his colleagues for a couple of minutes.
--
Jin looked at his reflexion in the mirror one last time before deciding that it was time to go. He hadn’t tried too hard with his attire. They were going to a somewhat fancy restaurant but it was not a date. He knew that and Tomohisa knew that. So there. Not a date.
He went down a few flights of stairs and froze once his hand was on the door knob of the fourth floor. He knew what floor but he couldn’t remember what door number. Shit
He wandered into the hall and inspected every door. Maybe one of them would give off the “my-kid-likes-to-draw-everywhere” vide and have some type of drawing on it.
“Or not,” he muttered as he had reached the end of the hallway.
Jin shrugged, his hands buried deep into his pockets and he walked down the hall once more, hoping for a sign or something. Anything at this point would work for him.
“Jin?”
He turned on his heels and saw a woman standing in the hall, two doors away from where he was. “Hi!” He said, nervous butterflies starting to form in his stomach.
Not because he was nervous for the date, but because he knew that he was going to do something stupid sometime during the night and he didn’t know when.
“What are you doing all the way over there?” Haruka asked him with a small laugh escaping her lips.
“I…” He scratched the back of his head, trying to find a good reason but gave up when he saw the look Haruka was giving him.. “I didn’t remember which door,” he admitted. “I knew the floor but not the number.”
“42,” she said, pointing the number on her door before hooking her arm with Jin’s. “Now, let’s go. I’ve been waiting for this date all week!”
Jin let her pull him along but his eyes had widened and his stomach had done 3 or 4 loop-de-loops. THIS IS A DATE?! Man was he in for a rough night.
--
SHE KISSED YOU!?! ON THE FIRST DATE?!
“SHUT UP PI!” Jin shouted into his cellphone, letting himself fall on his couch with the bottom of a cold beer resting on his forehead.
I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE KISSED YOU.
“YES OK. SHE KISSED ME. JUST SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY SO WE CAN MOVE ON OK?!”
Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaat? Jin… I’m a better friend than that. I can’t believe you think that I would say something to kick you when you’re down like this. I am hurt, Jin. Physically, hurt.
“Pi.”
You reailly think that I-
Jin groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to control the headache that was about to surface. “Pi - “ He repeated, trying to get a word into the conversation.
Shh. I’m talking. You think that I would say something like “I told you so”? THis early after THIS type of event?
“Pi.”
Hurt, Jin. Hurt is what I am..
“Can I speak now?”
No.
“But I -”
I have questions that need to be answered.
“Fine. Shoot.”
What did you do? After the kiss I mean.
“How old are you?” Jin laughed, taking a long gulp of his beer. “You’re acting like a highschool girl!”
I’m your bestfriend. Can you blame me for wanting to know more about how your straight relationships go? Because I really am interested Jin, really.
“Yeah thanks, I got that.”
“So? Whaddya do?”
“I froze. I just stood there like a deer staring into the headlights of a car, waiting to be hit! A bright light blinding the -”
A bright light? Tomohisa’s voice laugh on the other end of the line. Dude where the fuck were you.
“Shut up!” Jin hissed back, getting more annoyed with his friend by the second. “My vision went blank and my ears started ringing and -”
Ah~ a blossoming love. How sweet
“Pi shut up! This is serious!”
Did you at least tell her you were gay after?
“I might’ve forgotten that detail.”
Well then, congratulations Jin!
Jin placed his empty beer bottle of the coffee table and lifted his legs up high and back down to work his abs as he spoke with his friend. “For what?”
You’re now a step-father!“
“WHAT?!”
I always knew you were straight Jin. It’s like they say: you never know until you try it!
“I’m not straight, Pi!” He insisted, his legs going up and down faster and faster as his annoyance grew.
Denial, Tomohisa laughed. Love that! It’s like we’ve taken a classic text-book love story and we applied it your life!
Jin sighed again, sitting up straight. “Pi.” What had he done to deserve this treatment?!
You’re right. It’s probably just a “straight” phase. You’re curious, I get it. Women are hot.
“Yamashita.”
The other man laughed again. I kid, I kid. You now HAVE a kid but me? No. I’m just kidding.
“Why do I put up with you?”
Because i’m hot and-
“I should’ve called Reio!” Jin hurried to add, refusing to let Tomohisa finish that sentence.
“You can stop laughing now,” Jin said with annoyance as the other had exploded into laughter as soon as Jin had mentioned his younger brother. “FINE. You’re right! He wouldn’t put up with me and my...straight shenanigans.”
That’s the spirit! Next time you come home, I’ll introduce you do some of my lady friends that were drying to meet you...go figure. He added under his breath, barely loud enough for Jin to hear.
Sadly Jin did hear but he decided to let that one slide. “Pi.”
Fine. Ok. You still want the baker guy don’t you
“I dooooooooooooooooo,” Jin said with a whine. “I really really do!”
Damn. You’re really gay, aren’t you?
“I really am, sorry.” He didn’t know why he was apologising but he felt like it was necessary, if only to easy Tomohisa’s pain a little.
When do you plan on telling her you’re gay?
“I don’t know...I was thinking that maybe she could find out once I marry Kame?”
Marry?! Tomohisa snorted. For all we know the guy has a huge police background and he’s into some weird-ass kinky shit!
Jin couldn’t help but laugh. “There are a few reason as to we never talk about sex, Pi.” He told his friend, already aware of the type of reaction that he was going to get. “One of them being because I’m gay and you don’t want to know and well, I don’t want to know about your...lady friends and the other is-”
DON’T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE. PLEASE. YOU’VE ALREADY MADE ME IMAGINE STUFF THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO SEE.
“EW PI, NO. EW. Get your head out of the gutter! Jeez, I was going to say that the other reason is -”
Bye Jin, I don’t wanna know, I’ll talk to you once I’ve bleached my brain, could luck with your woman, bye!
Jin stared blankly at his phone after Tomohisa had hung up on him. He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t even a little bit satisfied with the way this had turned out. Freaking out Tomohisa was one of his favourite pastimes after all.
--
The weekend passed in a blur. Jin did his laundry, his groceries, a little bit of paperwork, played a few games, talked with Tomohisa (again) and before he knew it, Monday was already there and he was tying his tie with a smile on his face. Boy was he happy.
Not many people liked Mondays, but for Jin, it meant seeing Kame. Kame who only worked during the weeks, Kame who made his days all that better without even knowing or trying. Kame who was his -
“Who the fuck is ringing at my door at 7:20 in the morning?!” He muttered with a long line of swears as he made his way to his intercom to swear at the person that was obviously ringing at the wrong door. “What?!”
Akanishi?
Taken aback, Jin took a second to collect himself. Not a wrong number… “Yes?”
It’s me! The person said as if Jin would recognize them over an intercom that did horrible things to voices. Junno!
Ah. Well, it didn’t make a lick of sense as to why Junnosuke would be at his place but Jin buzzed him in nonetheless and waited for him to reach his door, arms crossed against his chest, annoyance clear on his face. “Come in!” He said once Junno had knocked.
“Thank you for having me~” The other lawyer said upon entering Jin’s flat, ignoring Jin’s current stance and eying the apartment. “Wow, nice place!”
“What are you doing here? I thought you lived all the way across town.”
“I mean, the place looked weird from outside but your apartment looks really good!”
“Taguchi.”
Jin had never seen the smile that Junnosuke was currently sporting on his face. He didn’t know (yet) that it meant that he had been plotting something evil. He had no idea what was coming. Had he known that this man was evil, he would’ve said hello on the first day and kept it at that.
“I’m here to accompany you to the cute bakery I saw next to your building!” He announce with a smile as Jin died inside.
Fuck Mondays
