Enemies make the best Lovers

Double Date(1)

(Suzuno)

It's 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning.

How do I know? Some ignorant dastard knocking on our door.

"It's 6 a.m boys! Rise and shine!" 

I'm not going to reply, let alone Nagumo, who was still comfortably sleeping next to me, although I still have no idea how Nagumo manages to end up next to me as we sleep in different beds as I can remember.

"If you don't reply I'll break through here!"

I'd like to see him try- here in Alius we have state-of-the-art security designed in case of an enemy invasion-its near impossible to break in something that's locked--

"Hyaah! Ryuusei....Blade!"

Shit--I take that back. A burning football was now on the floor, leaving behind a rainbow trail in its wake-and Nagumo was still sleeping.

"So you were awake, eh?" Hiroto said. "But again, it's really hard to not after I shot a Meteor Blade through the door--" he glanced at Nagumo. "You might want to wake up your boyfriend here. We'll see you in 10, outside."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 10 minutes, more than half of which was spent waking Nagumo up and explaining where the crater in the floor came from,we met up with Hiroto and his boyfriend outside our room.

"We're going to Tokyo. Here's your 7:30 Shinkansen tickets," he said, handing us two tickets for the express train. "We're scheduled to arrive at Tokyo by around 10 a.m., and you'll be on your own. There's a movie scheduled for 4 pm so make sure you arrive then. Also, I've booked a hotel we can spend the night in---"

"Be more informal," I heard Midorikawa whisper to Hiroto through his ear. 

Speaking of which, Midorikawa has completely let his hair down, giving him a much more feminine appearance. If taking into account the gender neutral clothing he'd wearing, I'd say that it's perfectly normal to distinguish him as a female.

Nagumo grabbed my hand. "So, when are you getting this kind of a makeover?" He smirked at me.

"It...It's none of your business." I muttered, although considering the option in my mind. 

"Anyways, its 6:40. We should set off or we won't be able to catch the train in time."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oddly enough, despite being a Saturday, the Shinkansen to Tokyo was oddly empty, with only a few scattered people around the train here and then. Perhaps it was the temperature of the cold winter, or just the fact that it was too early for people to wake up.

"That's because we're on the Gran class," Midorikawa said, seemingly reading my mind. "It's comparable to first class on the aircrafts, which is why it's really vacant. Obviously, it does cost a lot extra."

"Well then, so who's paying?" Nagumo asked, taking the seat right next to me.

Hiroto flashed out a credit card, which has the words Kira Group on it. "Basically, Aliea is, so don't feel bad about wasting money today."

"This card also gives us more privileges than you might think", says Midorikawa, whilst rummaging through his backpack. "Considering how Aliea is such a big group around Japan, it's not really a surprise that we get extra privileges and discounts whenever Hiro-kun uses this, just like last time when he brought me to the love hotel to---"

"Moreover, some people also recognise me as... well, the son of the CEO, perhaps they know a lot. That's brilliant for me, as they're afraid to piss off father if they deny me of anything. I get through a lot of things with this," Hiroto interrupted him, handing me the card. "You might as well have this if we're going to split up. I have another one with me."
