A/N: I will now put the notes on top. Anyway, moving the story here got me the time to edit things out, cuz I'm a lazy bum that couldn't do it on Ao3😂. Also I added something that I found lacking.

Thanks and happy reading. 😊

The silence is killing him. Akihito can almost hear his heart ringing in his ears. He's even being careful not to gulp for fear of disturbing anyone.

Kou invited him to an Art Museum exhibit. It was something he didn't think that would interest Kou.

"Whoah! Look at this!" Akihito suddenly exclaimed. Looking at the painting of an enormous beast in the dark. It is completely blended in the background.

It's not the beast that caught his attention, but the golden eyes that seems to glow. It looks like a predator ready to pounce the prey it set its eyes on. In this case, the one looking at the painting, capturing and snaring with its golden orbs.

"Psssh.. Aki quiet. " Kou hushed him while looking around.

"Nobody's around yet. Look at this one." Akihito whispered back gesturing at the painting.

"Wow! That's awesome. The way it  was blended is just impressive." Kou's watching it closely. "And the eyes. It looks so alive."

"Yeah. As if it would just suddenly jump out of the painting." Akihito said in agreement. It's mesmerizing to look at it as if it was alive and moving.

He felt weird looking at the eyes. Like the painting could actually see him. And it kinda looks familiar for some reason that its weird. He turned around and looked at the other display. Kou following just behind him.

"Why did you invite me here anyway?" Akihito in a low voice.

"Because I have an extra ticket. I cannot really ask Takato since he's also busy and you're the only one who happens to be free." Kou said in the same volume.

"Well, my schedule is not that tight for now. You should have just bought one then." Aki replied.

"I didn't bought it. One of my client gave it to me." Kou shrugged.

"Then why not ask a girl?" Akihito said. It's been a week after that disaster date and Kou looked like already moved on.

Also a week after his drunken incident. He really didn't want to remember that time. Just thinking about that embarrassing moment, got him red all over. He didn't want to meet the man again. How could he even face the man after that. The humiliation still eating him up.

Not only passing out on him. Crashing and sleeping in his place?! Though he can't help it when he's dead to the world. He can't really find an excuse but blame it to the alcohol. Hopefully nothing else happened after that. With that questionable note, he really do not want to entertain any idea. Whatever that is.

"I asked someone but she's busy today. Plus it would expire today." Aki heard Kou that snapped him out of his self-loathing monologue.

"So you do have a girl. Wow!" Aki said smiling, actually happy for his friend.

"Err... The one before. We're still on the stage of getting to know each other. I followed your advice so yeah, after I apologized to her we sometimes go out on a date." Kou said shyly scratching his head.

So it's the same girl huh? Aki said to himself. That explains why he looked happy these days despite what happened before.

"Good for you then. Just don't mess this up again." Aki teases patting Kou at the back.
