Dinner Date

201 13 13
                                    

His wristwatch is showing 9pm. Daiki was supposed to end his shift at 5pm today, however a huge accident took place nearby and all the victims were brought to the emergency department where he is working. He was attending a patient with severe intracranial bleed and ended up assisting the neurosurgeon in operating room for 4 hours.

It was a good learning opportunity- hence Daiki didn't refuse when the surgeon called him to assist. It is his ambition to further his studies in near future, hence good recommendation from the senior surgeons will boost his appeal more compared to other candidates.

Some of his friends called him workaholic. Daiki can't deny it. He spent more time in the hospital compared to his own apartment. He can actually count how many hours he spent in his house every week. Daiki doesn't have the opportunity to meet his neighbours or attend any local community gathering. He couldn't even go to his own brother's wedding due to his hectic work schedule.

Daiki is a lone wolf.

The taxi finally stops. Daiki pays the transportation fee and politely steps out. It is much easier to travel via public transport rather than driving by himself, as sometimes he had to be on 36 hours working shift at the hospital. He wouldn't risk driving his car when he is sleepy.

Daiki eventually made it to his apartment unit. He carefully takes out his keys and open the door. To his surprise the TV in the living room is switched on, and there is this nice smell coming out from his kitchen.

"Ah Dai-chan! Okaeri!" a handsome man in yellow apron holding a plate of freshly baked cheese-lasagna cheerfully greets him. "I hope you are hungry. I cook a lot today!"

Daiki smiles. He closes the door and put his stuff on the couch. He walks towards the dining table, impressed by the variety of food prepared by his boyfriend- the famous actor Yamada Ryosuke.

"A ah... not yet," Yamada shook his head, squinting his eyes at the doctor when Daiki wanted to take one of the grapes on the plate. "Wash up first Arioka-sensei," he smiles while handing the other boy a green towel. "We don't want to catch any germs."

Daiki chuckles. Of all people, he should be the one saying it as he is the doctor in the house. Listening the warning from others somewhat feels weird.

"Come on, take your shower and we will have our dinner ok?" Yamada sweetly pinch Daiki's right cheek.

"All right Ryosuke," Daiki takes Yamada's hand from his right cheek and kisses it before making his way to the master bedroom. He undresses himself and enters the bathroom, smiling widely to see the cute set up Yamada prepares for him. There is a pot of fresh red roses by the sink, and multiple small scented candles are lit at every corners of the bathroom. It is Daiki's favourite scent- rosemary. The bathtub is half filled with warm water, and petals of red roses are floating around.

I am the luckiest man on earth.

Yamada was casted as a doctor for a new medical drama. He enthusiastically came for attachment before the filming. Being a senior among his colleague Daiki was entrusted to assist the actor.

Truth being told, Daiki was really annoyed with Yamada at first. The boy never stops talking. The questions were initially medical related, but after a few days the actor became too familiar with him and began to ask personal questions instead.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Daiki almost chokes on his drinks. "What? No," he grabs a tissue and wipes the remaining coffee on his lips.

"How about boyfriend?"

"No,"

Yamada leans forward so that his face is closer to the doctor. "Do you like man or woman?" he whispers.
