"all that discussion and they're still stuck in a deadlock." "huh." "﻿Not that it's any of my concern." "﻿Make them octopus wieners." "﻿Huh?" "Aren't you in the middle of a meeting?" "﻿I got bored." "don't!" "﻿They said on TV that most families cut their wieners into octopi." "﻿I'm pretty sure they were talking about families ﻿with kids in elementary school or younger." "﻿Will I live out my life never eating a non-marine octopus...?" "﻿Fine!" "Here you go!" "Octopi!" "Aikawa-san's right there!" "Do you to get laughed at?" "I'd think you were l-o-v-e-r-s!" "﻿A-Aikawa-san... stop looking at me through the eyes of a fangirl." "﻿He was brooding that much in a meeting for one of his BL novels ?" "﻿Quit putting me in there without my permission in the first place!" "﻿But if I get mad about it.." "earn a living ﻿and give my fantasies free rein at the same time." "﻿What's so wrong about that?" "﻿Why does he have to be so high-and-mighty about it?" "because that's just who he is." "That's the scary part!" "you two!" "I'd think you were lovers!" "﻿"Lovers?" "﻿Wait a second now." "﻿Am I... going out with Usagi-san?" "with Usagi-san?" "flirty and ﻿lovey-dovey?" "Everything looks rosy and all that?" "﻿Live together" "﻿We do (it just ended up that way)" "﻿Eat together" "﻿We do (since we live together)" "﻿Go on dates" "﻿We do (Usagi-san likes coming with me to the supermarket)" "﻿Kiss" "﻿We do" "﻿Have sex" "﻿We do" "﻿Sleep together" "﻿We do" "﻿I don't have a choice!" "Usagi-san forces me!" "﻿We satisfy all the requirements..." "﻿but I can't help feeling we're not quite "lovers"." "﻿I'm home!" "﻿Usagi-san!" "We got a lot of mail today... oh." "weren't you?" "!" "﻿How many times do I have to tell you." "I'm not Suzuki-san!" "this is for nourishment." "﻿Don't try to suck it out of me!" "seriously." "﻿You're going to die young at this rate." "﻿You're right I'll stop when I die." "honestly... ﻿What?" "You're worried about me?" "that's not what I... hold on a second!" "Usagi-san!" "that's not the issue!" "﻿Is it really okay for this kind of thing ﻿to just be a natural part of the day?" "﻿l-lt's kind of like we're..." "lovers... ﻿I've had sex with Usagi-san a few times before." "but I didn't" "﻿Usagi-san..." "I love you... maybe." "﻿You feeling all right?" "﻿Um... do you mind if I ask you something?" "﻿What?" "I mean." "﻿Wha-What do you think... it means to be "lovers"?" "﻿Huh?" "you know he's got a girlfriend ﻿now and they're really in love and all that it must ﻿be nice to go out with someone... too." "﻿We are?" "!" "﻿Why does that shock you so much?" "share our meals and our bed" "﻿I make your this and that dirty and wet ﻿I do those kinds of things to you and on top of it all I" "﻿Don't say it out loud!" "﻿How can you say we're not going out after all we've done?" "﻿Then what exactly do you call "lovers"?" "it's like... you know... ﻿Okay." "Let's go out on a date." "﻿Eh?" "right?" "No classes or work?" "I'm free." "are there?" "it's set you can't just decide everything yourself..." "﻿Usagi-san!" "time to get back to work." "﻿You can't just make plans like that all of a sudden anyway?" "﻿Should I prepare something?" "that's for a picnic." "﻿A date" "﻿A date" "﻿1-1 don't know..." "﻿Welcome back." "﻿We've still got some time until that movie you wanted ﻿to see." "How about going to the Beach?" "﻿What?" "The beach?" "﻿Do you have somewhere else you want to go?" "that sounds great!" "yeah!" "﻿Let's hit the waves!" "but aren't you putting a little too much effort ﻿into all this?" "I mean it's just a date with me." "﻿You've got it wrong." "﻿It's because it's a date with you." "﻿Oh really." "﻿Weirdo." "and now we're at a restaurant" "Sensei?" "﻿Did you want to go somewhere else?" "it's not that." "I just feel bad having ﻿you buy me these expensive clothes... anyway." "﻿And they won't let you in here in leans and sneakers." "what do I do?" "﻿I don't know anything about table etiquette!" "so I chose" "﻿Just eat like you always do." "okay." "﻿He was really thinking about me... ﻿That makes me kind of happy..." "﻿And the associate professor for my lit class is this totally scary guy." "﻿He'll just throw things at you!" "Can you believe ﻿there are still teachers who do that?" "﻿Literature?" "Oh... could you teach me English?" "﻿I'm having some serious trouble keeping up." "right?" "What's it like?" "Really cold?" "﻿We should go there together sometime." "seriously?" "!" "I really wanna go!" "﻿Oh... but I don't have any money." "﻿It's nothing." "I'll cover it." "I don't want you to do that much for me." "﻿Just let me take care of it" "﻿I'd do anything for you if it meant we could be together." "﻿Why is my heart pounding like this?" "this is so good!" "﻿Take this." "that one's yours!" "﻿Just eat it" "but this is all kind of... it's the first time I've been in a situation like this." "﻿It's kind of weird..." "Like here we are ﻿out on this totally traditional date." "﻿Is my heart pounding because of this fancy place I'm in?" "Or is it..." "﻿There's no need to eat so fast" "﻿He licked it!" "He just licked it!" "﻿Who does that?" "!" "﻿I..." "I think I might... look who it is." "Akihiko!" "﻿Isaka-san." "I appreciate the look of thorough displeasure." "﻿Who's he?" "﻿To think I'd run into you here!" "It may be a coincidence ﻿but I feel the hand of fate at work... ﻿I don't At all." "﻿Ouch!" "That's cold." "﻿Are you drunk?" "﻿How's the manuscript coming?" "Aikawa was shrieking ﻿something about murdering you once and for all." "that's why I'm here." "I'm here with somebody ﻿and I'd appreciate you getting lost." "but ﻿you do have time to play with cuties like him." "and sorry for the intrusion." "﻿I'm not anybody suspicious." "﻿Executive Director?" "!" "﻿His older brother and I were good friends lwhen we were kids." "﻿Usagi-san's older brother?" "﻿Don't you get tired around Akihiko?" "﻿He's always had this over-bearing yet terribly delicate personality." "﻿Isaka-san." "﻿I see no reason why he should have to listen to this." "at his age?" "﻿And his bedroom is a toy paradise." "know what I mean?" "﻿Wha-What's the problem?" "﻿I think we're all free to do as we please in our private lives." "﻿Oh?" "How understanding of you." "﻿I know." "I'll let you in on an interesting little secret." "but he was quite adorable as a child!" "﻿As a child...?" "right?" "I know that." "﻿Isaka-san." "﻿Then have you heard this story?" "the son of the family he was... ﻿I don't know any of this." "﻿I've never heard any stories about Usagi-san's childhood." "﻿But he knows." "And I bet Aikawa-san and Niichan know... ﻿Am I the only one who doesn't know...?" "﻿And then listen to this... that's enough." "isn't there?" "﻿see you to the door." "﻿Why?" "What's the big rush?" "﻿Besides... ﻿Isn't it about time you stopped playing ﻿hard-to-get and let me have you?" "are you trying to make me angry?" "Akihiko... ﻿H-Hey!" "you have my humblest apologies." "﻿Asahina!" "﻿It would appear that our fool of an executive director ﻿has once again made a nuisance of himself." "﻿Who are you calling a fool?" "!" "you will have a formal apology in the near future." "﻿But if you wouldn't mind excusing us for tonight.." "go ahead." "that would be more than sufficient." "﻿Good night you dirty bastard!" "You're just a secretary!" "﻿You're drunk." "﻿I didn't drink anything!" "sir." "﻿I'll be back!" "﻿I'm sorry." "Never would have expected him to barge in like that." "﻿He." "﻿He was doing it on purpose." "I'm sure of it" "I wasn't even born yet when you were ten years old!" "﻿Of course I wouldn't know about something ﻿that happened before I was born." "﻿He knew that He just wanted to show off ﻿the fact that he knew you oh so well!" "﻿And so what if I don't know about stuff ﻿that happened a long time ago?" "so ﻿I'm sure I know you better than he does!" "﻿And plus... ﻿W-What the hell is that?" "Did I say something wrong?" "sorry." "I was just a little surprised." "﻿Are you jealous of Isaka-san?" "﻿What?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "you were jealous unconsciously." "you're completely aware of it" "that's not it!" "I'm not.." "﻿Misaki." "I'm going to make love to you." "﻿Y-You've got to be kidding!" "definitely not!" "﻿What the hell?" "Are you an idiot?" "﻿I'm telling you." "I'm not jealous at all!" "﻿While we sat inside that small Ferris wheel car ﻿Usagi-san made no move to touch me." "﻿I love you." "﻿Don't say that!" "﻿And that only made his voice resonate all the more deeply..." "Misaki." "﻿Shut up!" "again and again..." "﻿Usagi-san..?" "don't you?" "too." "﻿Open your eyes." "﻿Look at me." "﻿Arouse me even more with that face of yours..." "﻿I'm sleepy..." "I'm so sorry." "in several meanings of the phrase ﻿straying from the righteous path... ﻿How long will data collection take?" "so" "﻿Damn you and your poker face!" "just look at this mess." "﻿This is the restaurant we went to yesterday." "﻿He's tabbed it with so many stickies... why did he ﻿go through so much trouble to check all these... could it be... he did this all for me?" "﻿Usagi-san don't run down the stairs." "﻿Anyway... ﻿What?" "I..." "Sensei!" "﻿I see you gave us Ferris wheel sex this time!" "﻿This is some real hot stuff!" "Very nice!" "after all!" "﻿Ferris wheel... ﻿Misaki-kun what's the matter?" "!" "I'm moving out!" "this is Usami..." "Takahiro!" "same old." "You?" "﻿It's Niichan?" "﻿Yeah." "﻿He's on summer break right now... ﻿Eh?" "﻿Ho-Hold on a sec.." "could you leave the room for a moment?" "﻿Huh?" "just do it" "﻿O-Okay... ﻿What the hell was that?" "I can't believe it" "﻿Are he and Niichan discussing some important secret or something?" "﻿That pisses me off!" "﻿Yeah... it's the fact that I'm pissed off that pisses me off the most!" "﻿I still can't quite digest the current situation." "a guy." "just a little." "sometimes ﻿it pays to try a new perspective!" "but that doesn't bother me at all!" "idiot!" "﻿I was raised as a normal boy for eighteen years!" "﻿What should I do?" "﻿What are you doing?" "﻿Wiping the floor." "﻿Hell of an inefficient way of doing it." "﻿So did something happen with Niichan?" "﻿Apparently he's coming back to Tokyo atithe end of this month." "things happen." "﻿So he said... he'll be taking you back."
