Chapter 06.5

Hakata whistled as he strutted down the hall inside the palace. He felt so refreshed, overflowing in energy. So full that he started the day sooner than usual. This was the first time he really felt... contented, and that was all thanks to his one beloved Queen. Truthfully, he wanted to lay around longer with him. Leaving his cute small Akita on the bed sleeping alone was indeed more than a little bit unbearable, but whatever could he do?

He was the King of Spades from that day on. He had to do his job.

Still, Akita's figure was too endearing for his own good. Hakata wandered to his memory earlier in the day, playing the scene as if it was his most favorite movie. It was incredibly hard for him to get up with Akita snuggling close to him. Oh, how he wanted to stay.

He remembered how the curtains in the room was slightly open, letting in some light. How the sun ray illuminating the Queen's soft supple skin that was in contact with his. How only the sheets covering the younger man's flesh. And he couldn't even make any movement at first. A little shift he did, Akita quickly hugged his waist, not wanting to lose a source of heat. So cute.

'No no no!' Hakata thought, 'Focus, Hakata. You have work to do!'

Finally arriving to his destination, he opened the door of now his study chamber and walked in. Just when he sat down on his chair, Atsushi, his official Jack, came into the room with stacks of paper in his hand. Several maids, one by one, came in after the Jack, bringing another stacks. Hakata lost his counting.

"Whoa wait—what are those papers?"

"Day one, Hakata. Good luck."

Apparently, the former King of Spades didn't like desk works. He kept avoiding doing majority of it and ran away to go play with the former Queen. As a result, a huge amount of paper works kept piling up and eventually, Hakata was the one with the obligation to finish them all.

Hakata made a self-note to look for another admiration object.

Even when he grumbled, Hakata still did his job. He had the responsibility to finish his work so he made up his mind to do just that. At least half of them for today, considering the huge amount.

He spent hours doing the same things over and over again; reading, checking, calculating, and analyzing papers. Atsushi helped him by orderly sorting out the documents, until he finally groaned in annoyance and stood up.

"Gee, let me take a rest! I've been sitting for hours, I feel so stiff!"

"Sure, we'll do a 5-minute rest."

"Fine by me."

Hakata walked around the room while doing a little stretching movements.

"Hakata. Real question here," said Atsushi calling out to Hakata one moment, looking serious.

Surprised by his Jack's tone, he turned to face Atsushi. "Hm? What's with you being serious all of the sudden?"

"How was it?"

Hakata raised one of his eyebrows. "It'?"

"Your first time, of course. Was it good? Mind-blowing? I bet it was. You looked somewhat blissful this morning."

Hakata stared at his childhood friend in disbelief.

"Are you seriously asking me that question?"

"What's wrong with asking you that question?"

"Well, to be completely blunt, gee bud, that's a private complicated matter!"

"It's just a conversation about you losing your virginity, what's so complicated about it?"

"Shut up, virgin."

Both stayed quiet for few minutes.

"Let's just continue the paper work."

"Agreed."
