First of December is finally here and everyone is really getting into the Christmas spirit even though Christmas is only twenty four days away. I don't mind Christmas but just like my birthday I haven't really celebrated it in over seven years. Hiroshi and Violet encouraged me to join them on Christmas Eve but I didn't get into the spirit. I guess this year will be different though.

Akatsuki hasn't stopped saying 'I love you' to me since my birthday. It's every day he rings up or if we meet in person he will say it numerous times throughout the time I'm with him. I'm not used to it so I bush every time but I can definitely say he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. It does get a little annoying when he continuously says it but I'm fine with it. If it were someone else I guess I would snap and be all grumpy.

I also haven't taken off the gold ring, not once. It's like he proposed to me and we're getting married. Well that's what it feels like since he put the band on my ring finger but it's not that I don't want to marry him as I'm now only sixteen. One day I will then our love will be the only thing that matters.

I've gotten over the fact that I'm gay and just accept it as normal like I should have felt from the start. No one has said anything about me being gay so I guess in reality people don't really care. I guess you would get the occasional person who is homophobic but I won't let that bother me or ruin my relationship with Akatsuki. I'm a stronger man. I'm not weak and defenceless like I used to be. I have even opened up and am talking more but only to some people. I'm not forced to talk to other people but because they aren't in my life I don't feel the need to try and get more people I can talk to unless they come to me first.

A lot can happen in eleven days. I'm still friends with Yuusei but I can't meet up with him alone unless I'm with Akatsuki. I wish it didn't have to be that way as I think Yuusei is a nice guy but I guess I'm just too naïve to see that he could try and take advantage of me when Akatsuki isn't around. Even though I know he could kiss me again I still forget about it once he is in my presence.

Akatsuki got a new job too. He now works at a Japanese restaurant called Tsunahachi Tempura which is about a thirty to forty minute walk but a fifteen minute drive away in Shinjuku near the park I went to for my Birthday. I never thought that's where Akatsuki would go when he lost his job as a teacher but I guess he is still in the right environment I mean his cooking is amazing. I'm happy for him because he seems to be happier when he is in a kitchen. I noticed it all the time when I first moved in with Akatsuki and now it's like he can't stop smiling and talking about how his day went.

Well, right now I just happen to be heading to his work to go have dinner. I know I'll be sitting alone but I want to surprise him by coming early and have more of his delicious meals while watching him cook. It's a bit of a walk though, but I don't mind walking. The fresh air hits me as it blows my brown hair back. It feels nice as it runs through it and past me. It's cold though. With winter starting to settle in it sure makes things so much colder. I have my hands in my pockets of my winter coat. It's grey with artificial white fur on the inside to keep me warmer. My coat also has a hoodie which I don't have on but when it gets really cold it surely helps keep my head warm. I breathe out and I can see a mist telling me it is definitely cold.

I walked in the small restaurant and look around. It's very Japanese-traditional looking which from the start I knew Akatsuki would love. I smile softly as I am greeted by one of the staff members and they take me to a small empty table at the corner of the room. There are a few tables then a long bench facing the kitchen where you can watch the chefs cook. I thank the man and look through the menu. It has pictures of all the meals you can get. I guess it's good to have the pictures especially if there are foreigners here.
