Playing Games With The Billionaire (KageHina)

6 - Cat Ones

Akuma won the next solo date and Shoyo was about ready to punch the smug right off of his face.

The white pony lady beat him to it and slugged Akuma in the stomach after a nasty comment to Kiyoko.

"Let's be honest, who wants a fucking virgin."

Shoyo made her a cocktail and raised a toast in her honor that evening.

This place was causing him to drink far too much. But it shut Akuma up to the point that he left to sulk with Lev and Shohei in the bedroom.

Ah, the sweet sound of peace.

He spent the entire next day having one massive cooking lesson with a few of the other contestants.

Several others declined the lesson but were more than happy to sample and judge the dishes.

It was going well until Yui set fire to a pot on the stove top and the head of the mansion security, now impromptu firefighter, had to come and scold them after putting it out.

Yui was banned from the kitchen and everyone one else given strict warnings. They got take out that night for dinner.

Akuma returned from his solo date preening like a stuck up bird, loud and proud about the 'make out session' he had with Tobio.

Which the others were wondering where, when and how happened when they were watching their whole date through the TV and the camera never left them for a second.

The others realized that Akuma was just making it all up and so they decided to ignore him, but it doesn't mean that he was less annoying though.

Shoyo considered punching him once again but Yui drowned him out with music from Hitoka's little iPod and they set to having a dance off in one of the living rooms.

Shoyo was dancing with Lev and the twins when he noticed another presence amongst them.

He grinned as Tobio reluctantly let himself be pulled onto the large rug that served as their dance floor.

Shoyo let the music wash over him and just kept dancing, awkward as he might be with socializing but dancing was one of the few times he could relax enough to just flow, and let limbs loose with the music.

Forgetting his surroundings, Shoyo was singing along to the song when Tobio suddenly moved up behind him, held his waist and spun him around to face him.

They stood far too close together, pushed in by all the people moving around them vying for Tobio's attention, but Shoyo stayed slightly away from the man's body.

Dark blue eyes were unusually darker, they seemed to drink in Shoyo's form and the hungry look that flashed across the bachelor's face positively thrilled him.

The chorus started up again, and Shoyo spun around, away from Tobio's dark gaze to continue dancing. He was thankful that Tobio's hand on his waist allowed him the movement because he just can't continue staring and being stared at by those midnight blue eyes.

A hand brushed across his lower back, just teasing the edge of being a little too low before Tobio was being pulled away into the clutches of the twins.

Surprisingly, Lev spent most of their time as Shoyo's dance partner and damn was he good. He was as fluid and graceful when dancing as he normally was but it was intensified somehow.

They danced and drank late into the night before falling into their beds and passing out.

*****

It was too damn early and Shoyo's head was making protests over the alcohol last night.

He groaned and dragged himself out of bed. Honestly, he would have stayed in bed seeing as there were no events scheduled to happen today but he was not going to stay for another minute and listen to Akuma jack off loudly in the bathroom.

The moans of 'Tobio' were stupidly loud and the man was clearly just begging for attention.

Disgruntled and hung over, Shoyo blearily made his way downstairs.

His eyes were slits as he tried to keep out the too bright light and he moved at a snail pace across to where he knew the jug should be.

He was just about there when he was stopped by something large and warm at his side and a cup was pressed into his hands.

Shoyo inhaled the blessed aroma of coffee and mumbled his thanks, coupled with a sleepy smile.

Leaning against the large warm thing at his side, he drank half the cup in one go, and only then opened his eyes properly to look around.

He stared up at Tobio for a long drawn out moment as he noticed that it was the man's chest that he was actually leaning against.

When his mind caught up to the situation, he jumped back with a squeak of surprise and slipped on his long pyjama pants. His arms flailed awkwardly, cup of coffee going flying and the rest of the contents dumping on himself while he landed on his ass on the floor with a dull thud.

Gales of laughter erupted from the other side of the kitchen and Shoyo groaned. He looked down to assess the damage and noted with a grimace that his cat pajamas were now soaked.

Cat pajamas.

That were as cutesy as the dinosaur ones.

Great.

Why was Tobio only ever in the kitchen when Shoyo was wearing his embarrassing pajamas?

"How is it..."

He looked up to find dark blue orbs staring down at him with perplexed amusement.

"...that you can move like that on the dance floor and still be the clumsiest person I have ever met?"

Shoyo sighed and then flopped back to lie on the floor, covering his face with his hands.

"Can I just sink through the floor, please?"

More laughter met his words and he sat back up. Tobio held out a hand and hauled him to his feet where he nearly overbalanced AGAIN.

That was it, he was going to spend the rest of the day in bed.

At least he had tomorrow's group date to look forward to so he could redeem himself.

Hopefully.
