When Misfortune Brings Some Love

Chap 5 - Shelter

DING DONG!

A bell was ringing at Shinra residence. Only two people was inside the house that night, and none of them was willing to open the door for their guest even though it was raining cats and dogs outside.

"Nao, open the door!" Naoyuki's older sister ordered his only brother so bossy.

Naoyuki grunted, "Why should I? I'm busy." He stated lazily.

"If you don't open it right now, I'll reveal your 'little secret' that have been hiding under your bed to the world." His sister threatened him maliciously.

That poor boy suddenly went pale. 'Shit! Since when she find out about 'that'???' He cursed. He obeyed her order and walked lazily to the front door, welcoming the guest.

When he opened the door, his eyes widened in surprise. Who would ever thought that he would welcome his best friend soaked by the rain in this rainy night.

"Hi!" Ryuuta greeted sheepishly.

Naoyuki looked at his friend, then his luggage. "Ryuu! Why― Come in!" He said with concern shown in his face. "You'll get cold if you keep standing there."

"Hn." Ryuuta nodded and followed his best friend into the house. "Sorry for disturbing."

Naoyuki went to his room and came back with a towel in his hand. "Here!" He gave the towel to Ryuuta. "Tell me... What is exactly happened to you?"

Ryuuta didn't give any reply, but his eyes betrayed him. A sadness seeping out between his eyes. Naoyuki patted Ryuuta's shoulder and sighed. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now..."

Ryuuuta nodded. He then walked into the bathroom and sat in the tub, warming his cold body. A sigh escaped from his trembling lips, and the images of the previous event was flashing back inside his mind. "Maybe I was too much..." He mumbled to himself. He touch his left cheek gently. The sensation of the slapping was still lingering there.

After he was done bathing, he put his pajamas on and entered Naoyuki's room. He was glad Naoyuki didn't force him to answered about everything. He couldn't think straight right now, and his head was in a mess. All he needed right now was a distraction.

It seemed that the god of fortune didn't leave from his side completely. He was happy that his best friend was staying beside him. Naoyuki knew him better than anyone else, and knew how to make his mood up. He smirked when Naoyuki was looking at him with a glint of mischievousness dancing inside his eyes. "So? As usual?" Ryuuta cocked his eyebrow.

"Of course, baby..." He replied playfully, "We can do 'it' as much as you want it. My time is all yours..."
