The love lives of the Ukes

Announcement Aftermath: Chiaki

PREVIOUSLY ON THE AFTERMATH

"Onodera-san's having a panic attack." Misaki said and Takano's eyes widened before they turned back into pissed off mode.

"And you all left him Alone?! WHERE?!" Takano yelled and Misaki hid behind Kisa as Kisa smiled nervously.

"The bathroom on our floor." Kisa said and Takano ran off while Hatori turned to Chiaki.

"I need to talk with you, come with me."

PRESENT

Chiaki nervously walked behind his stone faced lover as they entered a small conference room and Hatori locked the door while Chiaki frowned, Hatori started talking.

"What exactly happened between you and Ichinose-sensei?" Hatori asked and Chiaki blushed as he looked away.

"What makes you say that something happened?" Chiaki asked and Hatori crosses his arms.

"Because she kept messaging me during that meeting about Yoshikawa's insults about her. Yoshino, you insulted her?" Chiaki crosses his arms before Hatori sighed. "What did you say?"

"I might have mentioned somewhere around..." Chiaki started and he shallowed as Hatori came closer.

"Around what, Yoshino?" Hatori said darkly and Chiaki gulped, he knew that Yoshino and it was not a good one.

"Somewhere around old hag, saggy breasts and um a *coughs* dried up vagina." Chiaki said, whispering that last part but of course Hatori heard that and he was, of course, pissed off.

"Are you out of your mind?! That's is one of our top mangakas and you insulted her?! What were you thinking?!" Hatori yelled and Chiaki was getting pissed off.

"Well she insulted me first! She called my work an abysmal and said it was only worth reading because you are my editor. Excuse me for sticking up for myself, I wasn't expecting her telling mommy on me." Chiaki said and Hatori shook his head as he rubbed his temples while Chiaki thought of something. "And why the hell does she have your phone number anyway?" Hatori groaned in annoyance.

"I'm second editor in chief of my department, I had to give her my phone number as I do for all of our authors. She is no different than any of the rest of them." Chiaki rolled his eyes as he frowned sadly. "You really don't have to feel like that, you don't see me acting like this with Takano-san having your number." Chiaki growled.

"The thing is I don't have a crush on Takano." Chiaki snapped back and Hatori frowned.

"Ichinose's crush is completely one-sided, Yoshino. I don't have any feelings for her other than a business associate and a friend." Hatori said and Chiaki shrugged with a frown. "Instead acting so jealous, start thinking about Saturday. You know you have to go to this party, it's mandatory." He said and Chiaki blushed hard.

"Y-you think I don't know that, I'm not that dense. But Tori, this is too much. I'm a man, the idea of me in a dress is completely embarrassing!" Chiaki said and as he crossed his arms.

"Yoshino, you'll be fine." Hatori said and Chiaki huffed.

"Oh please, you don't have no right to tell me that. You're not the one with a woman's waistline or shoulder width!" Chiaki said and he groaned as he sat down in a nearby chair with his hands on his face. "And this party is going to be TV, Tori! My mom could see me! Oh god, it'll be so embarrassing!" At this point, Chiaki started crying and Hatori sighed before kneeling down in front of Chiaki as pulled into a hug, which Chiaki gladly returned.

"Everything's going to alright, Chiaki." Hatori said before planting a kiss on his boyfriend's forehead and Chiaki sniffed as he started to wipe away his eyes. "What's wrong?" Hatori asked because Chiaki still had his hands covering his face and the mangaka frowned as hard he blushed red.

"I just realized that I'm acting like a woman." Chiaki mumbled and Chiaki glared as he found his boyfriend laughing at him. "Oh shut up!" Chiaki pushed Hatori out the way as he got of his chair. "I'm leaving!" Chiaki yelled as he went open the door, only to find Hatori's hand on his own while the other one was slammed against the door. Chiaki could feel Hatori's body heat and, of course knowingly Chiaki, it made feel...weird. Not uncomfortable weird, but weird.

"I was only joking, Yoshino." Hatori said and Chiaki frowned before gasping at the peck on his cheek while blushing hard, Hatori opened the door. "I need to get back to work." Chiaki nodded as they walked out, then Chiaki remembered what Hatori said to Ichinose.

"By the way Tori, why did you decline Ichinose's offer?" Chiaki asked and Hatori remained stoic as he answered with this.

"Because I thought it was obvious that I'd be going to the party with the one I love." Chiaki blushed hard with a frown.

"Stop saying embarrassing stuff like that with a straight face!" Hatori chuckled softly.
