The Story of You and Me - Book 1

Lesson14: Her love story (prt3)

"Alright, what should we have for dinner?" – Shohei asked.

Hideya raises his hand "I can cook if you want" – he said.

Saki is still inside her room while Keisuke is sleeping on Hideya's lap in the living room.

With disappointment on his face, Shohei said "Looks like we don't have any choice, since most of us here are unable to say their opinion" – it's only him and Hideya who are there and awake "I see that Keisuke falls asleep" – he added.

"Yeah, he tired himself up by climbing those steps" – the brunette answered "He doesn't want to be carried on the back, such stubbornness" – he added.

"Well that's Keisuke for you" - Shohei said "He always does everything his way despite of all the privileges he has in life, he wanted to strive on his own" - he added as he stares at sleeping friend.

Hideya stares back at Shohei "Ehem"

"What?" – Shohei asked.

Hideya looks at him with 'what the hell man, why are you staring at him like that?!' look.

"Don't be overprotective of him"

"I will if only you didn't attempt to kiss him that day not to mention you leave a mark on his hand, that's more than enough for me not to trust you" – Hideya said with one eyebrow raised.

"Can we just forget that?"

"I can't and I won't" – Hideya said still with an irritated look on his face as he hugs the sleeping Keisuke on his lap as if he's hiding him away from Shohei.

The other gave up and chuckled.

The brunette tilted his head "What's funny?"

With a smile on his face "When he's with you, he's comfortable, he can be himself, he laughs like there's no tomorrow and he doesn't care what other people think of him. I thought we know everything about him but we are wrong - I was wrong, those sides of Keisuke are him that I haven't seen" – he said.

Hideya was surprised to hear that from the person who is very serious and firm to Keisuke.

"I haven't talked to him yet, I want to apologize for everything" – Shohei added "I just don't know if he will ever forgive me"

"You're here with us, so I'm guessing he doesn't hold any grudge against you" – the brunette said as he caresses the small male's ginger curls who is sleeping soundly on his lap "And besides he's the type of person who can easily forgive those people who he cherishes the most" – he added.

Meanwhile, Saki is sitting down the stairs listening to their conversation, after that remark from Hideya she went back to her room.

That night, dinner is ready. The dining area is one of the biggest rooms in the mansion, it has a long table covered with a French tablecloth designed with gooseberry prints on it, silverware and ornaments are on it along with the delicious freshly made meals. In the middle of the room just above the dining hall is a huge silver chandelier studded with gemstones.

"Who cooked the dinner?" – Keisuke asked as he scratches his eye and still yawning.

"I did" – Hideya answered with a bug grin.

With disbelief on his face "Shohei-senpai, you let him cook?"

"Yeah, no one seems to know how to cook other than him and besides he volunteered to do it so I let him" – the president answered.

"So how's the kitchen? Is it still in one piece?" – the ginger asked sarcastically.

Shohei titled his head because he doesn't understand why.
