Tales From Dragon Inc.

Souvenirs

The boys had a blast on their vacation, enjoying every second of it, and all too soon it was time for them to return home. All five of them were a bit disappointed that their vacation was coming to an end, but Dragon Inc. needed them, and it would be irresponsible to extend their vacation beyond the two weeks they'd taken off. Besides, they really wanted to give their friends the souvenirs they'd gotten them.

"Look at this woodcarving," Yuto said, showing Yuri a hand-made carving of a Bali Starling. "Shun is gonna love it! He loves birds!"

"I bet he will," Yuri agreed as he checked on his ceramic pottery for the seventeenth time that morning. He didn't want to risk any chance of his fragile souvenirs being damaged.

Yugo had some unique Balinese clothing in his luggage, ready to be passed out to all their co-workers. He'd taken special care to fold them properly so that they wouldn't be all wrinkled when he passed them out.

Yuya meanwhile had bought a few Batik textiles and some gold and silver Balinese jewelry. He'd been quite taken by a Batik scarf he'd found in a store, as it reminded him of Akaba Reiji, the CEO of a company that worked closely with Dragon Inc. He'd been friends with Reiji since they met years ago in middle school. The COO had also bought a silver necklace with a jade pendant to give to the mayor's son, Sawatari Shingo, another friend of his since middle school. He glanced over at Zarc a little uncertainly. "Do you think they'll like them?"

"Of course they will," Zarc reassured him. "Sawatari's always loved your pendulum, and has tried to match with you plenty of times, so he'll definitely love the pendant you picked out for him. And Reiji will appreciate the scarf you got him. You picked it out specifically to his tastes. You put a lot of thought into all of the souvenirs you chose. Don't worry, everyone will love them!"

Yuya smiled and lay his head on Zarc's shoulder. The CEO paused his packing of the spices and coffees he'd bought, and wrapped his arms around the tomato-head. "I must say, this trip to Bali was a lot more enjoyable with you four by my side than the last trip I took without you. I'm glad you all came with me."

"Me too!" Yugo said happily. "It was so much fun!"

"Mhm!" Yuri hummed, checking on his pottery for the eighteenth time. Yuto chuckled and said, "Yeah, but I bet you didn't check on your pottery a million times like Yuri's done."

Everyone chuckled and Yuri pouted furiously at Yuto, before checking his pottery again. "At least your souvenirs aren't fragile."

"Well, is everyone ready to go?" Zarc asked, zipping up his luggage. His boyfriends all nodded, picking up their bags, and Zarc smiled. "Well then, let's get going! Back to Japan we go!"
