Game Of Love

The Meetup

Kusuke
March 30th arrived faster than I thought it would. I finished getting ready and grabbed my phone, wallet and keys. Then walked to the street Makoto said to meet him. I only had to wait a few minutes before a black car pulled up, the back window rolled down to reveal Makoto.
"Hey, get in" he said and scoot over, I climbed in "nice to see you again Kusuke" he said and smiled softly
"You as well Makoto" I said and noticed his face looked slightly different from the last time I had seen him "are you wearing makeup?" His face turned red
"Wha? No!" He said and looked away
"You're an actor, so you wear make up right?" I asked holding up the card he gave me
"Right, I forgot I gave you the card" he said sheepishly
"Hm the next time we go out I'm driving"
"You have a car?"
"Yeah, I'm 19"
"Really?"
"How old did you think I was?"
"...16" he mumbled I laughed
"I can understand that, my height counts against me"
"Yeah if you weren't wearing a suit I would've thought you were a girl" he joked
"Yeah I get that a lot" I said and stared at my lap
"Hey you okay? Was that a touchy subject?"
"I'm fine, just the idea of being a girl brings up bad memories"
"I see, I'm sorry" he said and gently touched my shoulder I looked at him
"It's alright, you didn't know" I said "how much farther is the cafe?"
"A few more minutes"
"Okay" I said, we eventually arrived and stepped out of the car. "Wow this place looks nice"
"It is, I've been here before. They have really good food" he said "you first" he said holding the door open, I walked in and all eye were on us.

"What the hell" I muttered
"Sorry I have that effect on people" he whispered back and one of the servers led us to a hidden table, we sat down and she handed us the menus then left us.
"Is that gonna happen every time we go out?"
"Sadly, my fame follows me everywhere"
"Hm" I said and looked at the menus, I spotted coffee jelly "are the coffee jelly's here good?"
"I'm not sure, I'm not a fan of em. Why?"
"Kusuo adores them, I might bring one home to him"
"Order one and try it"
"I guess, what are you gonna order?"
"Strawberry shortcake and coffee, it's my go to. Kinda like a comfort food" he said "what about you?" He asked leaning his chin on his hand
"My comfort food?"
"Mhm"
"I dont think I have one"
"Ok then what do you eat the most?"
"I don't know, I barely eat in general"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat" he frowned and picked up the menu
"Hm, you like sweet stuff?"
"Sure"
"Okay I'll order a few things for you to try, and I'll pay"
"No I'm supposed to, this was supposed to be my thanks for helping me out at the Gala"
"It's fine, you can play next time" he said "do you want anything to drink?"
"Ooh I want a milkshake" I said and he raised his eyebrow "don't give me that look" I said and the server came back, Makoto ordered and she walked back to the kitchen.

"Now that that's out of the way, how did you find out my real name?" He asked
"Easy, background check"
"You background checked me?"
"Of course I did, a stranger gave me his number. I had to make sure you weren't gonna rape me or some shit"
"O-oh" he said "I'll make this clear, I won't ever do something to you unless you're okay with it. Ok?"
"Ok"
"So what did you learn about me?"
"Sure you wanna know?"
"Uh well kinda, saves me from having to retell my life story"
"Ok" I said "your name is Makoto Teruhashi, 18 years old. You live in the same prefecture as my family. Both of your parents are still together. You have a younger sister named Kokomi Teruhashi, a second year who goes to the same school as my brother. You've been acting since you were 13 and you have a large fan base that call themselves the Mugamins. Horrible name in my opinion. I also learned that all the money you make is in a trust fund that you can't access for another two years"
"Really? You learned all that"
"And more, the one thing I left out. Considering what it is"
"What?"
"You have an obsession with your sister" I said and his eyes widened
"Shh! Don't say that so loud!" He said "I'll admit I have do have an issue with my sister, but I'm trying to fix it!" He whispered
"Calm down, considering that I'm the same way I don't really care"
"What?"
"To put it vaguely, my brother isnt a normal human being. We've been competing with each other since we were kids. I always lose so I've made it my mission to win against him. By any means necessary"
"What's so special about four eyes?"
"Something I can't say, but maybe in time you can be in on the secret as well"
"Okay...?" He said
