Watch me Shine (bl)

45

The next day Kaia woke up very early feeling excited. It WAS the opening day of his bakery of course so he had to wake up and bake the products. The sun still wasn't even up yet but he started making delicious breads, cream buns one after another slowly. Akerian's place was a bit far from the shop so Kaia had to wake up extra early for these following days.

The smell of the breads finds its way into Akerian's room. As someone who wakes up after 9, when this unfamiliar yet drooling scent reached his nose he couldn't help but open his eyes. With a quick lasted confusion of where this smell was coming from Akerian finally remembered that Kaia was staying with him.

Without a second thought he leaped out of bed and went to the kitchen.

Kaia was humming to himself as he kneaded the dough. Akerian came in and saw him being in a happy mood.

He couldn't take his eyes of this man who was wearing his black apron, sleeves all rolled up and a small white cloth tied on his head so as to not let any of his hair fall into this creations. He looked at the clock.. it was 5 am. Akerian wondered why Kaia made these so early wouldn't it be better to sell freshly made instead.

Kaia finally turned his head towards the red head and as if he knew what the other one was thinking he answered.

K - I'm only making breads and the kind for a quick breakfast. Many school students passed by that area so it would be good for them to eat these as breakfast early morning.

It was true. Back then Kaia's parents used to wake up early to make such quick breakfast for those kids who go to school on empty stomach early in the morning. And many of the students would come to buy the cheap food to fill their stomach after a long day at school on their way home.

Akerian could only nod and went to wash up. When he came back Kaia was already wrapping up the bread, cream buns and cakes one by one. So he took a seat next to him and helped him wrap up.

However just as he finished wrapping one cake up, Kaia suddenly turned and glared at him.

Did I do something wrong? He thought.

Kaia was actually looking at floor and when Akerian looked down there's nothing. He didn't know what he was looking at. It wasn't until he felt a drop of water on his feet that he realised there was a small puddle of water forming right on the floor because he had just taken a shower and his hair was still wet.

This was the time he realised that Kaia really really hates this stuff. So he quickly got up and said sorry with an awkward laugh and went to get a mop to dry the floor and also a towel for his hair. After that Kaia finally removed his frown and went on packing.

A - Do you want me take you?

Kaia looked at him all confused and said, " These won't fit in your bike."

A - who says we're going on my bike?

How foolish of him Kaia thought to himself, he forgot for a moment that Akerian was also rich. So he agreed.

***********
The day Akerian took Kaia's stuffs away, Julian and Yui once again fell into a huge argument. There was already a ticking time bomb after that kidnapping incident in their relationship and now that bomb exploded. Julian tried hard to look at the bright side but his mind is still messed up and was conflicted. That night -

J - For the last time why didn't you tell me he was with you?

His head was beginning to hurt after repeating the same question again and again. While the one opposing kept on yelling.

Yui - I told you I didn't know! I was blindfolded for God's Sake Julian! Why are you so obsessed with him?!

J - I'm not! And why do you keep on lying?

Yui - Why not! All I did was to get back to you and now because of him you're angry at me!

J - *sigh Leave him out of this. From the moment we met again haven't I given you all my attention, haven't I told you that all of this that I had was for you? I'm what I am now because of him. Aren't you cruel to let an innocent man get caught up in your own problems?

Yui was quite, he kept his head down not because he understands but because he was so angry.

Yui - still now you side with him?

At this point Julian felt like he was talking to a wall

J - When have I ever side with him? Was there a side to you? I'm talking about how an innocent man was kidnapped alongside you and you didn't even tell me or the police!!

Julian raised his voice to Yui for the first time. This shocked both himself and Yui. For a while both of them was silent until....

J - Forget it. I'll sleep elsewhere.

With that he took his car keys and left.

When he came in the car, he checked his phone again. Lately he keeps checking his phone every hour to see if Kaia called. Right now he didn't like the idea that Kaia called Akerian and not him.
