The love lives of the Ukes

Lovesick puppy

A FEW DAYS BEFORE

Hiroki yawned as he sat up in bed and found that his lover's side was empty, then he smelled the scent of his Nowaki's cooking. He walked out bed as he stretched his muscles out before he took his shower and got dressed. Nowaki finished cooking breakfast and set the table for the both them. This was the first time that Nowaki actually had a day off in while and Hiroki only had to be at the university at noon, so they could have breakfast together.

"Hiro-san, breakfast is ready!" Nowaki yelled from everyone kitchen and Hiroki walked out their bedroom as he continued to finish his tie, then the egoist couple sat down at the table. They starting about usual things: work, the idiots (Akihiko and Miyagi), and then Nowaki asked the question Hiroki wished he hadn't.

"Huh?!" Hiroki yelled as he wiped his mouth from spitting out pieces of rice and he cleared his throat. "What did you say?!" Nowaki smiled shyly yet brightly.

"I want to meet your parents, Hiro-san. Can I meet them? We've been together for almost seven years, I think it's time for them to meet me as your boyfriend." Nowaki explained and Hiroki sighed, this wasn't the first time his lover had asked this.

"Nowaki, we've discussed this. My parents are homophobic, especially my father. He would banish me from the family." Hiroki said.

"Why does it seem that your pride as always makes your decisions, Hiro-san?"

"Why do you always ask about meeting my parents?! It wouldn't change the fact that my parents are homophobic, Nowaki!" Hiroki yelled and Nowaki frowned as Hiroki frowned, then his phone buzzed. Hiroki checked it and saw it was Miyagi calling, he answered it.

"Hello?"

"Kamijou, any chance you can come in a bit earlier? I need some help with a few things." Miyagi said and Hiroki nodded.

"I'm coming, give about ten minutes to get there." Hiroki hung up and he sighed before he looked back at Nowaki. "Miyagi needs me to go in early." Hiroki stayed as he started to walk out and Nowaki frowned more, once again they were going to go back to this subject.

"You haven't finished breakfast." Nowaki said somewhat bitterly yet concernedly as Hiroki placed his hand on the doorknob and Hiroki opened the door.

"I lost my appetite!" Hiroki said as he slammed the door and Nowaki sighed.

AT MITUHASHI UNIVERSITY

Hiroki's eyes twitched with annoyance and anger as he looked around the office quarter he shared with his lazy, moronically cheerful professor Miyagi, which an absolute mess that it seemed like a tornado had hit.

"KYOUJU!!!" Hiroki screamed and his eyes shifted to the 35 year old professor, who sulking on the desk. "What the hell happened to our office?!" Miyagi sighed a groan and sat up in his chair.

"Shinobu and I had fight, which ended up with him throwing things at me. I swear that boy is taking after you, next thing I know he'll dye his hair brown to match you." Miyagi said as he lit a cigarette and then it was Hiroki's turn to groan while he started picking up the material that spread all across the floor.

"Seriously Miyagi, control that brat of yours! At this rate, I'll never keep this office organized!" Hiroki yelled and Miyagi gave a small smile.

"I can try, but this time Shinobu-shin is really pissed at me this time." Miyagi argued and Hiroki scoffed a bit of a laugh while Miyagi put out his cigarette.

"What did you do, him the truth about that burnt pieces of leaves he calls a stir fry?" Hiroki teased and Miyagi frowned with a glare.

"No! He wants to tell the dean about us." Miyagi stated and Hiroki's eyes widen, the beat wanted to do what?

"Huh? Is he insane? You work for his father, he'll fire you if he finds out about your relationship even if he isn't homophonic." Hiroki said as he drop some papers onto Miyagi's desk and the thirty-five year old professor nodded.

"I know, but then Shinobu started yelling about how 'if I loved him, I wouldn't be so afraid of telling his father'. Then I joked about how maybe I didn't love that much and he freaked out.."

"So the fact our office looks like a war zone is because of you." Hiroki interrupted and Miyagi sighed.

"I was just kidding. Of course I had to lie. As much as I love him, I don't want to ruin his relationship with his parents in case he decides to leave me in the future. Unlike your lovesick puppy." Miyagi explained and Hiroki raised an eyebrow.

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Hiroki asked.

"He'll never leave your side, not as long as he lives. You're basically the only family he has, he wouldn't want to give that up. Especially when you have a relationship as long as yours." Hiroki blinked before he frowned, is that why Nowaki asked about meeting his parents? 'I mean that much to him?' Hiroki frowned even more.

"You couldn't be even more wrong! My own brat wants to meet my parents." Hiroki said and Miyagi beamed as he went over to hug him.

"We have the same problem, KA~MI~JOU!" Miyagi laughed as Hiroki groaned and tried to pry his 'friend's' arms from around him, unfortunately that when the door opened.

"Miyagi, are you in...." Shinobu started and he stopped in mid sentence after seeing his boyfriend was hugging his co-worker and Miyagi gulped before immediately separating from Hiroki.

"Ah Shinobu, I can explain." Miyagi stuttered and Shinobu slammed the door closed, which made the thirty-five year old professor sighed with annoyance. "Damnit." Hiroki had to resist the urge to laugh.

MANY HOURS LATER

Hiroki turned his key and opened the door, only to greeted by the smell Nowaki's cooking.

"Tadaima." Hiroki said and Nowaki beamed a smile.

"Okaeri, dinner's almost ready Hiro-san." Nowaki said and Hiroki nodded as he removed his coat, setting his briefcase on the couch before sitting down at the table. Nowaki turned off the heat and finished setting up the food on the table.

"Itadakimasu." They said before they started eating and their dinner was in complete silence. Nowaki just kept staring at Hiroki while Hiroki couldn't really look him in the eye and Nowaki sighed.

"Hiro-san." Nowaki said and Hiroki looked up as Nowaki gave a sad smile. "You don't have to introduce me to your parents." Nowaki said and Hiroki sighed.

"Nowaki, I'm not mad about this morning. I just don't want you to get hurt." Hiroki admitted sadly. "My parents, no my father is brutally honest and I'm afraid that you'll leave me." Hiroki whispered shamefully and Nowaki smiled as he went to grab his lover's hand.

"Hiro-san, it would take a lot more than your father's disapproval to get rid of me. I'm never going to leave you." Nowaki said before he kissed Hiroki's cheek making the twenty nine year old blush as he frowned.

"If I promise that you can meet my parents as my lover around my next birthday, would you wait till then?" Hiroki asked and Nowaki smiled brightly.

"REALLY?! Of course I would! Thank you Hiro-san!" Nowaki beamed as he hugged Hiroki and the demon professor sighed while he hugged back. Maybe Miyagi was right for once, Nowaki is his lovesick puppy.
