Chapter 9

                                    

                                          
After two months of their growing relationship, a couple of people started acting strangely and kept asking what they are doing. Specifically, they were Syo and Haruka.
Those two kept stalking Reiji and Ai, wondering about where they were going and what they are going to do there.
Syo was stalking them because he developed feelings for Ai. He didn't notice this until a couple of days after Ai and Reiji started going out with each other. The feeling only worsened and he soon became obsessed with Ai. He started to crave for Ai. He craved the soft lips, his gentle hands, his soft locks of cyan hair, his surprisingly smooth skin, everything. He's perfect in his opinion.
On the other hand, Haruka was already in love with Reiji. She fell in love with him months ago, but he was already obsessed with the idea of Ai in his head that he never noticed that Haruka liked him. When she heard his rough but beautiful voice, she knew that he was the one. She knew that it could only be him, and no one else.
With those two falling in love with one or the other, they decided to make a plan to make them break up. It was a harsh and cruel plan, but they know it's worth it in the end.

"Ai-Ai~! Let's go, go, go!"
"Wait a moment Reiji."
"Hm? What is it Ai-Ai?"
"Do you have a feeling that someone.. no, two people, are always watching us?"
"Hm.. Well, I have sometimes, but I usually just ignore it. It would be creepy if two people are stalking us."
"Hm.. Well, we should ignore it and go. We can't just keep looking behind our backs forever."
"True, true! I can't wait to go!"
Ai and Reiji went off to go to the mall to buy some clothes. The other two, Haruka and Syo, followed.
Inside the mall, there was a bakery that smelled like freshly baked bread. This smell enchanted Reiji and dragged him inside the bakery. Ai went in with Reiji, wanting to know why he went in.
Reiji looks at all the pastries, wanting to know the perfect pastry to buy for his wonderful boyfriend Ai. His eyes eventually landed on a lavender and green cake. He asked the cashier to get it and Ai tries to stop him, but Reiji refused. Ai eventually gives up and lets him buy the cake.
The other two were watching, full of jealousy. Syo wanted to buy a cake similar to that for Ai, while Haruka wanted to be the one receiving a similar cake from Reiji.
"We're definitely going to eat this at home Ai-Ai!"
"..It's so colorful.."
"Eh!? Does that mean you don't want to eat the cake Ai-Ai?"
"I mean, it's colorful, but it's not going to stop me from eating the cake."
"Yay! Now, onto the clothing stores!"
They headed out to the clothing stores and Haruka and Syo hid and eventually followed them until they were finally done with shopping.
"Hoo~! Look at the time Ai-Ai. We should be getting back."
"Yes, we should. It's super late."
All four of them headed back home. Syo and Haruka were back first to avoid suspicion, and Ai and Reiji went there after them.
When Ai and Reiji got back, they went to the dining room to eat the cake that Reiji bought.
They both sat next to each other, which made it easy to touch Ai. Reiji leans close to Ai and caresses his cheek. Ai looks at him and gives a rare smile to him.
"Ai-Ai, it's been two months since we've confessed. The cake was one I ordered for this occasion, so I had to buy it. I would feel bad leaving it back there," Reiji smiles before kissing his lips lightly.
"Reiji, you didn't have to this every month. Then again, I know you're doing this to make me happy, and I am," Ai says before leaning close to his touch.
"You're so cute Ai-Ai~ I can just squeeze you tight~ Ah, here," Reiji says, lifting a spoonful of cake towards Ai's lips.
Ai gladly eats it and says, "It's so good."
Reiji cheers and says, "Yay~! I bought the right cake for you!"
Ai chuckles lightly at him and gives him a long, passionate kiss. In a few seconds, he invaded Reiji's mouth with his tongue, making Reiji moan quietly.
"I love you Reiji," he tells him, once he pulled away from the kiss.
"I love you too Ai-Ai.. Hey, you know, I've been.. wanting to do something with you for a while now.."
Ai tilts his head slightly at him.
"What is it Reiji?"
"Oh, you'll see soon enough Ai-Ai."
