Perfect Catch

-34-

Yuto watched from the kitchen as Yuya continued to read and re-read his book. He couldn't remember the last time Yuya was so drawn into a book. Wait, Yuto thought for a minute before he remembered the first books Yuya brought. Okay, so Yuya does become engrossed in books more then he realised. He smiled however, with how hard Yuya was working to be good at his new job, it warmed his heart. Soon they would be able to build on their own home, buy furniture together, cooking meals, rather than all the take out they have and well just live happily together. He wanted to show Yuya that he was supportive but how was the big question. After he thought about it for a while, Yuto chose a gift that he thought Yuya could use whenever he's at work and would support his creative side. Gripping the bag tightly, Yuto made his way over to Yuya who looked up from his book. Yuya put the book down on the arm of the chair before throwing himself into his lover's chest. "What's that?" He asked pointing to the bag. Yuto smiled as he handed over the bag. Curiously, Yuya opened the bag and pulled out the contents. It was an A4 sketchbook and colouring pencils. Yuya's eyes sparkled as he held it close. "Thank you."

"I thought you might be able to start creating ideas using them," Yuto said giving Yuya a quick peck on the lips. "I guess you like it."

Yuya nodded vigorously. He loved that Yuto thought about what to get him to help him with his job and he couldn't wait to use it. "I can use it design the bouquets," He sighed happily. "Selena mentioned that it would help me when I come to design my own things."

"Then I'm glad I made the right choice," Yuto smiled sitting back into the sofa with Yuya's head still on his chest. "Did Selena mention how often you would work?"

"She said it would be 3 days a week," Yuya replied. So, the job was only part time but that actually worked in Yuya's favour as it meant he would be able to adjust to the new life styles. Yuto began to idly play with Yuya's hair, running his fingers through it as they sat in peace. "Though, the other guy, Yuri, he kind of scared me."

"Scared you?" Yuto mimicked.

"He just stared at me while I talked to Selena," Yuya mumbled. "Did I annoy him?"

"I'm sure it's a misunderstanding," Yuto assured. "He's probably been on his own in the shop for a while so he's just seeing if you seem the part. Don't worry about it, okay?"

Yuya just nodded as he pushed his body further into Yuto's, feelings his lover's warmth. Yuto grabbed the sketchbook and pencils, placing them on the coffee table to allow them to become more comfortable. He switched the television on, landing on a movie for the pair to watch.

As she walked past the room, Lulu couldn't help but laugh. She loved the site of Yuto and Yuya tangled up in each other's presence, their love always coming off so pure, so innocent. She placed a hand on her stomach, rubbing it in small circles. Soon she would be able to find out the gender of her child and start their nursery. She imagined all different ideas, what colour scheme to have, what animal would they use even if a theme would be appropriate.

She made her way up stairs, all the time not taking the hand away from her stomach. This child was her mark on the world and she had all intention to protect it. Lulu entered her room, being greeted by the warm smell of vanilla from the incense she had in the room. She sat on her bed, turning on the laptop that had been left on the nearby night stand. Though pregnant, she still had work to complete for school. They would be granting her a leave of absence which would allow her to re-join the course at the point she left. With how much the tuition is, she had no choice but to complete the course.

As she opened her online drive a notification appeared on the bottom right hand of the screen. Hovering over it, the notification popped open and the words caused her to blush. Lulu jumped as the knock on the door distracted her thoughts. "Lulu, I brought your dinner," Lulu sighed advising Yuto to come in. Yuto walked over to her, placing the tray on the empty left side of the bed. "There you go. The curry is pretty mild, so I brought you up some extra seasoning."

"Thank you," Lulu sighed. "Guess what news I just had?"

Yuto laughed, taking a seat. "You know I'm bad at guessing," he responded.

"Remembers Kite?" Lulu asked and Yuto nodded. Kite was an old friend of theirs' from high school and actually Lulu's former Prom king. Yes, once upon a prom, Lulu and Kite were each other's dates, though afterwards Kite moved to Tokyo right after high school. "He's coming back here, only for a few months but still. He's asked if we want to meet up with him. Isn't that great?"

"Oh wow," Yuto gasped. "Sure thing. Set up the date and I'll make sure we're free."

Lulu gave a small bounce as she quickly responded to the message. This was the happiest Yuto had seen her for a while. Lulu had a special smile when it came to Kite, he always noticed it near the end of their high school years. Perhaps this would bring Lulu a little bit more happiness to her life.
