He Only Lived Once

Part 10: Liars and Thieves

  Shouji sat on the edge of his bed staring at the gym bag shoved into a corner. I don't want it to end...Not like this

  "Breakfast is ready guys!!" Shouji sat down plates filled with food.
  Kari and Tagame appeared at the same time, both sending glares to the other. Tagame sat on the counter after getting a plate of food while Kari sat at the table.
  "You shouldn't sit on the counter, your going to get it dirty." Kari looked at Ghost, "Then Ghost will have more chores to do. How selfish of you, Koi."
  "Your the one making more dishes for him!" Koi shoved raspberries in his mouth angrily.
  "Can we all just calm down-maybe..." Ghost looked down and quietly took a bite of his toast.
  "Sure!" Kari smiled brightly before throwing a spoon at Tagame.
  "What the hell man!"
  "What? You need a spoon to eat yogurt."

~later that day~

  "Hey Ghost?" Kari leaned against Tagame's door frame looking at the two males cuddling.
  "Oh- uh," Ghost sat up quickly, "Yes Kari?"
  "Can I have a friend over?"
  "Sure! I can make lemon bars if you want!"
  "Nonono! Its okay Ghost, I wouldn't want you to tire yourself out!" Kari smiled and left leaving the two to do whatever they wanted.
  "Tch! What a prick." Tagame pulled Koda into a quick kiss.
  "I think he's becoming nicer!" Koda smiled unconsciously, "Maybe one day he and I can open that bakery shop!" Koda giggled.
  "What bakery shop?"
  "Oh- Kari and I have always joked about opening up our own bakery when we're older."
  "Mm, I see. What would he do, wash dishes?"
  "No silly! He'd help bake!" Ghost sat on Tagame's lap wrapping his arms around his neck.
  "Kari knows how to bake?"
  "Mhm! He's better at it than me, actually. He even won first place at the cake baking competition two years in a row!" Tagame pulled Ghost closer smiling as he rambled on about baking.
  Tagame pulled Ghost from his stories with another kiss. He gently rubbed Ghosts thighs, looking at him.
  "Tagame!"
  "Yes?" Tagame leaned in and gently bit Ghosts neck.
  "Hey! We talked about this!" Koda's face was going red.
  "I know, but you're just so cute." He let his hands travel past Ghosts crotch and to his chest.
  "Koi Tagame!" Ghost pushed him off, "I said not when Kari is here!"
  "You're no fun!" Koi tackled him jokingly earning a wave of giggles from him. The sound of the door being opened ruined the cute moment.
  "It must be Kari's friend! I'll go down and greet them." Ghost rushed downstairs and turned the corner, "Hi I'm-" he froze dead in his tracks. A smile grew on his face and he threw himself into the man's arms.
  "Hey Ghost, long time no see!" Derrik picked him and swung him around. "Who's this?" Derrik set Ghost down and looked past him to look at Koi.
  "My name's Koi Tagame, yours?"
  Derrik looked at Kari before smiling, "My names Derrik Yun, I've heard nice things about you!"
  Koi rolled his eyes and dissapeared up the stairs, leaving Koda with a frown. "Sorry about him. He just isn't the friendliest with new people."
  "Its okay, I can understand. Especially since I'm a friend of this shitbag," Derrik punched Karis arm making him yelp in pain, "I should apologize about Kari."
  "You piece of shit!" Kari rubbed his arm.
  "Well, at least he's changing. Maybe we can all open that bakery after all!" Ghost smiled.
  "I can see it now," Derrik held out his hands, "Phantom Sweets, horrifyingly good."
  "Thats such a stupid name and slogan." Kari rolled his eyes.
  "You have a stupid name, Karishoma~" Derrik smiled and Ghost held back a laugh. They both knew how much Kari despised his name.
  "Im going to kill you!-" Kari was cut off by Derrik kissing him.
  "Awww! Did Kari get kissies from Derrik?~~" Ghost teased Kari knowing that he secretly like Derrik.
  Derrik had always teased Kari and figured out ways to make him shut up. It just so happens that kissing him worked, but only if it was Derrik. It may seem a little odd but it makes from some perfect blackmailing material.
  "Y-you idiot!" Kari turned away and stormed downstairs blushing madly.
  "Well, If you need anything please just call!" Derrik ruffled Ghosts hair and followed Kari into the basement.

  Ghost crawled over to Tagame and booped his nose.
  "Yes?"
  "I know you don't like Kari, and you have a valid reason not too, but Derrik is really nice! Please try and be nice to him." Tagame looked at Ghost with a blank expression. "For me?"
  "Fine. I'll do my best, but no promises."
Kari smiled and kissed him before rushing back downstairs to the kitchen to make snacks.

~Everyones asleep by now, Derrik decided to stay the night.~

Well, it seems like Koda is happy. That's good, he deserves the world. Derrik smiled and hugged Kari closer. Kari had ended up cuddling Derrik as he slept, and Derrik thought it was the cutest thing in the world. Kari deserves another chance...he probably hates me but I don't hate him. Maybe one day I'll tell him how I feel.
Derrik kissed Karis forehead lightly and whispered, "I love you Karishoma..."
