Shogo was blaming Kyou for the incident. If the boy didn't encourage him to say those words to Takashi, everything would be like how it was before. They wouldn't break up, and he still wouldn't know that his partner had been cheating him for years.
But did he really want it?
Being cheated and lied for so many years. And sooner or later, the truth will be revealed. It was just the matter of time. And ten years was actually quite a long time for the pus to seep out the rotting wound.
Shogo knew how selfish Takashi could be, if he wanted something, he had to get it no matter what it cost. It was the same when he won over Shogo. A little persuasion broke Shogo's defenses down and Takashi could have his own way on Shogo.
There were times when Shogo had doubts toward Takashi's loyalty. But he loved him great enough to turn a blind eye and hoping Takashi didn't really cheating on him. He did notice the times when Takashi gave him excuses to sleep over at his parents' place, or how he went home very late at night after having drinks with his colleague and smelling like woman's perfume. But he didn't want to think much about it. Not even when he called Takashi's parent's house and they said Takashi didn't go home that day. He thought Takashi just went with his friends and didn't want Shogo to tag along. Now he knew that Takashi didn't want him to tag along.... so he could fuck another men or woman without him knowing.
Why couldn't Takashi satisfied with him only?
Why did it have to be someone else?
No one could answer that but Takashi himself.
He was dying to know the reason, but the truth scared him to death also...
He was wandering aimlessly in the rain without umbrella, hanging his head all the way. He was soaking wet like a drenched rat and people on the street just sparing him a weird glance and walked away.
"Shinonome-san?" someone called.
When he turned around, he saw the juniors in the illustration division who was just coming out from a bar. It made him wonder how long had he been strolling without direction on the street?
And he saw Ooguma Kyou's tall figure came out last from the bar. He strolled at him, gave him a punch on the face without saying anything, and collapsed. Kyou caught his body before he fell onto the hard pavement. He had to give his umbrella up and let his clothes wet by the rain.
"What the...?!" Shinjo Eiki yelped in surprise, "Why did he suddenly punch you, Kyou?"
Kyou looked carefully at Shogo's face, the corner of his eyes were red for crying. He knew that instant, something was definitely wrong with him.
"I think he's just drunk," Kyou said, making up an excuse. "Help me get a cab to ride him home."
Shinjo clicked his tongue and shook his head in sympathy.
"You're too nice, Kyou. Even though he's drunk, he didn't have the right to hit you."
"Maybe he has," Kyou said.
Shinjo crossed his eyebrows in confusion, but before he said anything, a cab pulled over at their other friend's call. He helped Kyou to put Shogo into the cab before it went away.
Shogo awakened by the sound of two people talking. But his mind was still hazy; he wondered what had happened to him.
"Just let him stay here for tonight, Maou-san," it was Kyou's voice, "Do you expect me to let him sleep on the street like that? He has a fever... ouch!" he yelped out. "Gently, please. I'm a wounded person, here."
It seems like the other person was treating Kyou's wound.
"You're overly nice to people," the other man sighed.
Shogo barely recognized the other voice.
"Especially since he punched you before."
I punched him? Shogo asked inside his heart.
"Something must've gone wrong with the advice I told him," Kyou said, "Shinonome-san wasn't a person who punched people out of the blue even when he's drunk. I must be at fault if he did that."
The other man kissed Kyou lovingly.
"You will never be at fault, Kyou. You're too nice for that."
Kyou chuckled.
"Hey, Im only human, you know. I made mistakes too," he kissed the other man back and cuddled him.
The scene roused the jealousy out of Shogo, he was getting angry for no reason. He didnt want to stay long to see the scene so he got up off the bed, but his head spun and his body swayed, made him collapsed again onto the bed.
"Don't move, Shinonome-san. You have a fever," Kyou said, he hurriedly walked toward Shogo and forced him down to bed when he stubbornly tried to get up again.
A beautiful young man in black turtleneck and loose sweatpants stood beside him gracefully. He seemed like a high class and very well mannered person. Yet, he looked a bit childish by clutching the edge of Kyou's shirt, as if he was afraid that someone would take the tall boy away. And that someone was him.
When it all came to him, he just realized that Kyou had a male lover.
"Are you gay, Kyou-kun?" he asked bluntly.
Kyou opened his mouth to answer, but he canceled his words. He paused for a moment before saying, "Well, you can say that..." he grabbed the beautiful man beside him by the shoulder and held him close, kissing his forehead. "I'm gay to this person only."
Kyou's lover blushed pretty hard hearing that, he pinched Kyou's waist and made the taller boy yelped in pain.
"Ooouch! Easy with the nail, Maou-san! You could've torn the flesh there. And relax will ya, Shinonome-san here is gay too."
Color faded from Shogo's already pale face. He was shocked that Kyou would mention it out of the blue, as if he had known for long.
"Yeah, I know your relationship with Kanoe-buchou for quite a while, Shinonome-san."
"Does anybody know that..."
"No. No one seemed to notice, since you guys deliberately put an act like the whole thing was only a joke."
Shogo sighed in relief.
"And I thought I knew you from somewhere..." he said to Maou.
"He's in charge for our company's subsidiary, Mochidzuki Maou-san."
Maou nodded at him, and he nodded back.
Of course, Shogo had seen him several times walking in and out the illustration division, but never knew who he was exactly.
"So, wanna tell me the reason of this?" Kyou asked him while pointing at the band aid on the corner of his mouth. It was an obvious punching wound.
"Well, that's..." Shogo hung his words. "I'm sorry..."
Shogo was quiet, it was hard for him to explain everything to Kyou. The boy waited, but if he didn't want to say anything, then he wouldn't force him to talk.
Kyou huffed, "If you don't want to talk about it, then I won't force you. Just sleep here until your fever broke, we'll discuss about other things later."
Shogo looked around the spacious bedroom and noticed that it was the master bedroom of the host, and he felt bad about it.
"But this is..."
"We have a sofa-bed outside. Sometimes we sleep there too. It's like camping indoor," Kyou joked, "Don't feel guilty or anything, you're a sick person, anyway."
Kyou smiled and took Maou's hand and lead him outside the room.
"And oh!" he stopped and turned at Shogo, "If you happen to hear suspicious sound in the middle of the night, don't bother to look, it'll be just us, smexing each other... OUCH!"
Kyou yelped because Maou pinched and dug his nails onto Kyou's waist again, and dragged him out from the room after apologizing for his partner's impoliteness.
Shogo was in awe, he didn't think that the plain boy could be this perverted. And outside the room, he could hear Maou was scolding the boy who was just laughed over it.
It would be a lot easier if Kyou wasn't such a nice person, so he could blame the boy without feeling guilty like this. As he thought of that, sleep took him away from his consciousness.
