Snippet #2701855

Hiruka sat at the table while surfing Twitter as he patiently waited for Yutaro to arrive. There's currently nothing much going on around, except for a few selfies Kazuki had just posted earlier in the afternoon when they were working. The guy was pretty much a hot boy, even on the Internet, so the numbers of people who followed and tweeted him everyday are gargantuan. Asides from that, Hiruka just checking out a few pieces of clothes that he had been keeping an eye on. The food is waiting in the oven and the bottle of wine is ready to be unplugged, all that takes now is for doorbell to ring. Hiruka hasn't a clue of what to anticipate after all of this just yet, but at least, he is almost certain that what is to come is for the best of the two of them, after all those years.

And, the moment finally came as the doorbell rang. "Coming." He said as he checked his clothes and his hair a little bit before walking to the door of the apartment. When he opened the door, he was greeted with the sight of a Yutaro dressing differently from his usual jagged style, holding two potted plants - one was carnation and one was gardenia. He couldn't help chuckling at the two flowers, since he perfectly aware of what their meanings are. He shook his head when Yutaro told him about being under dressed, "No, that's fine. You look great as usual. Come in, please." He said and retrieved the potted plants from the guy and placed them beside the window.

When Yutaro took his seat, Hiruka took the beefs from the oven and placed them in two plates, and set them out on the table, along with a bowl full of Caesar salad. Under the dimming light of the candle, he could almost be confident that this is the most romantic dinner for two that he had ever made, even the ones he once made for his long list of exes couldn't match up either. The primary reason probably comes from the man sitting on the opposite side of him right now.

"I decided to make some Western food today, since I thought making Japanese food was a bit bland. Hope you enjoy it. Please tell me if my cooking could match that of Yui-san's." Hiruka said with wink while unplugged the cork of the wine bottle. He gave Yutaro only a moderate amount, having remembered Yui once said that aside from being intolerant to lactose, he's not too much of a drinker either.

The two of them dined while talking casually like every other time they met. Hiruka recounted his father ws a famous chef, so in a way, this love had passed down to both him and Makoto, the kitchen has always been a favorite place of him since he was just a kid, so if he hadn't become a hairdresser, he might have become a chef instead. He also shared that he once made dinners like this for his exes and also for some of his friends, but they weren't nearly as nice as tonight. Just like that, minutes turned into hours, and they really had had fun, both holding the same mutual feelings for each other.

Eventually, what comes just had to come. The moment Yutaro reached for the handkerchief, the picture Hiruka had placed inside fell down on his lap. He watched every expression that the guy made after picking up the picture, a light smile presented on his lips as ever. Hiruka slowly stood up and walked to the window which is just a few steps away from their table. He gazed at the night scenery outside, with colorful light filling every corner of the city.

"We might not be able to see each other again for a long time, and now we have to live so far away. But if we ever crossed path again, I will definitely have become stronger, and no one would pick on me again. So, shall we do one last pinky swear? One day, we will be together, no matter what happens." Hiruka spoke with a calm tone, reminiscing all the words that he once said back then, "Did you know that... never once in my life had I ever stopped clinging to those words back then?"

Hiruka turned his back to face Yutaro, with the very same smile so many years ago, "We meet again at last, Yucchi."
