Best of Uke Friends (JUNJOU Romantica/SEKAIICHI hatsukoi crossover fanfiction)

Hotel Usami: Hunger

We find our Ukes in the same room where they were, hoping to hear the relationship stories they have been waiting for...

Uke's POV

"Well...it kind of started with me and him in the meeting room, just before Misaki showed up. Anyways, I was assigned to teach you and such but it was my lunch break. I ate my lunch in the room and noticed Ijuuin-sensei walking in. Next thing I know, he's towering over me..." Yuu explained as a fierce red crept onto his face.

"Oooohhh~ I see where this is going..." Chiaki smirked while leaning in a little closer to hear his friend's explanation. Everyone in the room was now staring at Yuu, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. But, for the sake of hearing everyone's story, it will be worth it in the end.

"Then he asked me if I was alright as he caressed my left cheek gently, worried over why it was so red." Yuu quickly glanced at Chiaki and looked back up at the ceiling.

"Oh, I'm sorry Yuu..." Chiaki said staring down at the floor guilty like. He let out a sigh and reached out for a cookie. "I was just...surprised...and scared." He averted his eyes elsewhere as long as it wasn't meeting Yuu's gaze.

Yuu lets out a deep sigh and just ran his fingers through his hair. "It's alright Chiaki. It's not like I hate you." He flashed a reassuring smile towards Chiaki. Chiaki took notice and smiled back, giving him a small nod to continue. "I understand you love him more than me."

"Oo! Oo! Oo! Will there be an explanation to all this!" Kisa said frantically waving one hand in the air as if he knew the answer to a question but the teacher purposely ignores him (relatable anyone?).

"Yes there will be once Chiaki shares his." Yuu reassured. "Now...oh yeah. While he did that, I shooed his hand away and told him I was doing fine but I asked if he was okay. He looked pretty terrible and had this pained expression on, which got me a bit worried."

Misaki's eyes widen in realization as if he knew the reason behind this situation. "Ano...did he ever say the real reason?" Misaki asked shyly.

"He said he felt how I did; rejected. He never told me by who though." Yuu grew suspicious, having his eyes turn into slits as he stared down at Misaki. Misaki flashed an awkward smile towards him. "But I know I despise that person." Misaki just laughed awkwardly and placed a hand behind his neck.

Yuu exhaled sharply and just pushed the situation away. "He later noticed my saddened features and asked me once again. I rejected of course but he later persisted by asking me to come to the restaurant. Then you came in after he left. After our little session, I decided to meet up with him at the restaurant." Yuu said after recalling what he had done that night.

"You went as a friend and not work?" Yokozawa asked while having a smirk plastered across his face.

"It was for work! Work!" Yuu defended.

"You're married to your job as well?" Ritsu asked teasingly, which earned him a glare from Yokozawa. "Sorry..." Ritsu apologized while back away from the angered man.

"Yes, you could say that. I enjoy drawing and helping authors around Marukawa. There's not one day where I regret this choise." Yuu explained.

"What did you do after the restaurant? Gasp! Did you even eat!" Chiaki asked. Yuu shook his head in response and disbelief.

"Out of all the questions you ask, you decided on the one that involves food the most." Yuu said staring down at his hungered friend who in turn got another cookie out of the jar. "Typical Chiaki."
