Of bratty demons and mushroom heads

CHAPTER 35

Even though it was early on a Sunday morning, Hiyoshi’s alarm clock went off at eight o’clock signaling it was time to wake up and get ready for the day. He looked over to where Akaya was still sleeping, hanging half off the bed. "Time to wake up brat" he said while stretching his legs out, nudging his boyfriend in the process.

"Nnn-" Akaya groaned and opened his eyes slowly before climbing back up onto the bed and rolling over to his side to look at his boyfriend, "wha-?" he mumbled and blinked at him, "why are we up? It’s not a school day...." If he didn’t have to be awake, he sure as hell didn’t want to be.

Yawning, he sat up and looked down at Akaya. He’d thought of about a hundred different ways of doing this, but in the end settled on the most straightforward route. "You want to go to Disneyland with me today?" he asked casually as if asking if he wanted to go out to breakfast.

"Yeah sure," Akaya answered automatically then the words registered in his mind and he sat up rim rod straight and stared at Hiyoshi in surprise, "wait, what!? You--actually.....want to go to Disneyland with me?!"

Shrugging, he got out of bed and started to get changed for the day. It wasn’t until he left the bed that he was reminded that he was still naked from last night’s activities but shrugged that off as well. He was way too used to being undressed in front of and by his boyfriend. "Only if you want to, but if we're going you have to get up and get ready now. I want to reach the station by ten."

After taking a moment to admire the greatest view to wake up to in the morning, Akaya leapt out of bed and scrambled over to his closet to find something to wear, not caring even for a second that he was buck naked since he was usually more comfortable naked than clothed anyway. In a matter of minutes he had on a blue Mickey Mouse shirt with badly spelled English all over it and a pair of shorts and not to mention the most comfortable sandals in the world....he was ready.

Hiyoshi chuckled at Akaya’s obvious excitement but continued to get ready in a much more sane fashion. Wearing a comfortable pair of jean shorts and a plain off-white button up shirt, he pulled on his usual walking shoes and waited at the door, "ready?"

"Not yet!" Akaya chimed happily and gave Hiyoshi a big hug then a warm good morning kiss, "Now I'm ready!"

Hiyoshi smiled into the kiss, loving the feel of his boyfriend’s lips against his in the morning. "Let’s go" he said with the small smile. He pushed Akaya out the door and locked it behind them.

Smiling and bouncing in his seat the whole train ride, Akaya’s eyes constantly moved over the faces of the other passengers and their surroundings and it took all he had not to run off the train when the doors opened at Maihama. He took Hiyoshi’s hand and all but dragged him to the ticket booths.

It seemed to have taken forever to get there. They had to switch trains four times and Akaya had been acting like an energetic five year old who couldn’t sit/stand still, which was actually normal behavior for him. Breathing a sigh of relief when they finally made it to the station, he tried not blush when Akaya took his hand and dragged him to the ticket booths. He saw others were doing it too, but most of them were small children dragging along their parents.

"Two adults for Disneyland" he told the teller and paid the 11,600 yen. Turning back to look at Akaya, he smirked. "I wonder if I could have passed you off as an overgrown child." He certainly was acting enough like one.

Akaya stuck his tongue out at him and dragged him inside and down the world bazaar. He wasn't interested in shopping (yet!) it was the rides he was after. Without hesitation he dragged his boyfriend into Tomorrowland and toward one of his favorite rides; Space Mountain.

Having never been to a large amusement park like this, Hiyoshi looked around curiously as he was literally dragged down through the front entrance to the park. He was about to question where they were going in such a hurry when he was pulled through a large walkway surrounded by large blue pillar... things. Tomorrowland? That’s what the sign said. "This doesn't look very much like tomorrow" he commented off handedly, then thought that sounded ridiculous since he had no idea what the hell tomorrow was supposed to look like.

"The front’s kinda lame, but it gets better once you're inside!" He chimed and squeezed Hiyoshi’s hand, ignoring the odd looks they were getting. He didn’t care what anyone thought today, they were in Disneyland!!!

He was dragged to the front of a very odd shaped white building where it looked like literally hundreds of people were waiting. The wait time on the sign said 90 minutes. His eye twitched and he looked over at his still overly excited boyfriend who had still not let go of his hand. "We’re going on this?"

"No, no, we're getting fast-passes for it so we can go on something else while we wait," he laughed and took both of their passes over to the machine, only to return a moment later with the other passes, "Alright! Now we're going to go on Star Tours!" Without waiting for an answer he had Hiyoshi’s hand in his again and was dragging the other man toward the ride with a much shorter wait.

He didn’t question him since it sounded like they wouldn’t be getting in that horrendously long line. The next thing he knew, he was in a dark room with heaven sent air conditioning. "What kind of attraction is..." …there was a life size C3PO in front of him... talking... and moving. He wasn’t sure if he should be creeped out or fanboy like Jiroh during one of Atobes matches. He settled for just letting his jaw drop.

Akaya turned to look at Hiyoshi with a giant smile on his face, "Come on, or we're gonna miss our shuttle to Endor!"

"We’re... going to Endor?" Hiyoshi asked in confusion sounding slightly distracted now focusing on the awesome R2D2.

"Yeah, yeah!" Akaya agreed, practically glowing with excitement, "You're gonna love it!"

As they continued on to another room, though Hiyoshi was disappointed to leave the last one, he was instantly distracted by all the things in the next room. Usually he was always careful to keep a close eye on Akaya, especially in public, but this time it was Akaya hurrying him along to catch up with the line as he tried to withhold his excitement at the moving and talking droids (not to mention the randomly moving objects in small cages). He liked droids.

It was hard not to laugh at the barely restrained excitement behind his boyfriends eyes, "Wa~ka~shi~" he laughed and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek with a mischievous smile, "Come on, it just gets better from here...."

The kiss broke him out of his stupor and he glared at his boyfriend, but he followed to catch up with the rest of the line. The ride workers then separated them into aisles and they watched a corny video with foreign people in weird costumes, but he supposed it was acceptable since Chewbacca was in it... even though some damn brat flashed a camera in his face. He could empathize with that.

For once, Akaya’s focus was on something other than the cheezy video of people who kind of looked like his dad in the 70's (what his mother saw in that man he’d never know), instead it was focused completely on his mesmerized boyfriend. The expression on his face was better than any movie he'd ever seen before.

When the door opened and they were let in, Hiyoshi had to force himself to walk forward normally. He squeezed Akaya’s hand which he forgot was still in his and this time it was his turn to drag him inside. They were going on a spaceship!

Akaya couldn’t hold back the laugh anymore, it was too great. His boyfriend loved Star Wars. He never would have guessed, but there was no denying it now, not after Hiyoshi literally dragged him into the ship. He sat down next to his boyfriend and buckled himself in as instructed, anxious to see his lover’s response to the ride.

Hiyoshi was buckled in and ready to go, too excited at this point to realize he was acting like all the little kids in the room with wonder in their eyes. The minute the screen dropped and the droid announced himself, his eyes widened and he was hooked. Despite knowing logically that they weren't actually going into space, when the ship moved.... holy shit! The damn thing moved! He clutched at the arm rests and a huge grin appeared on his face that he wasn't even aware of. It remained there for the entirety of the ride.

He laughed and smiled as the ride started, but as they got into the comet he glanced over at Hiyoshi and his breath caught in his throat. A smile looked really good on his boyfriend and he knew exactly what he wanted to do after they were finished with the ride, provided they survived the star destroyer.

When the lights turned back on and they stood up to exit the ride, Hiyoshi immediately self-consciously wiped the smile from his face and crossed his arms over his chest. He was never going to admit just how much he’d enjoyed that.

By the time Hiyoshi wiped the smile off of his face it was too late, the damage had been done. He grabbed his boyfriends arm and pulled him towards the exit and then to the nearest dark place where he could molest him to his happy little hearts content, unfortunately the nearest dark place that didn’t have an hour long wait was Snow Whites Scary Adventure.

He had expected once out of the ride that Akaya would interrogate him on how he’d liked it, in which case he would have to feign nonchalance, but instead he found himself being dragged deeper into the park by a very determined Akaya. When they stopped he looked up and face faulted. Akaya wanted to go on a fucking princess ride!? "Why the hell are we going on this?" He may have to kill depending on the answer.

"It's got a short line," he answered simply and a few minutes later they were seated in their own little car ('Sneezy' not that he really cared who they got). As soon as the car disappeared from view Akaya made his move. He leaned over and gave Hiyoshi’s ear a little nip to get his attention, then pressed their lips together, ignoring the ride completely, in favor of running his hand up his lovers thigh.

Why did they have to get the Sneezy car? Oh well, it was better than Dopey. He had just resigned himself to the next 5-10 minutes of torture when Akaya’s true objective was revealed. "Akaya..." he said in a warning voice before his lips were captured. A small groan escaped as Akaya deepened the kiss and he felt the hand on his thigh. Firming his resolve he pulled away a bit breathlessly. "Akaya..." he tried again, "this is a family ride."

"It’s dark. No one can see," he murmured huskily and let a little smirk grace his features, a moment later however the smirk was gone and he let out a little very un-masculine yelp, "that skeleton just talked to us!!! Why is there a skeleton in a kids ride?!"

Hiyoshi was in the middle of convincing himself not to let his boyfriend molest him when suddenly the high squeak assaulted his ears and he was being clung to. At Akaya’s words he looked around and found what Akaya was screaming about. Heh, maybe this would be better than he thought. With a smirk he wrapped his arms around Akaya and whispered into his ear, "what’s wrong, brat?" he gave the ear a little nibble, mimicking what Akaya had done to him earlier as the somewhat creepy abnormal trees went by, "talking skeletons and poisoned apples not your thing?" Right on cue, the witch appeared out of the house seemingly holding said poisoned apple out to Akaya.

Akaya yelped again and promptly hid his face against the other mans shoulder, "That's not funny!" He snapped grumpily and half glared at Hiyoshi as they finally came into a happier area of the ride. This part wasn't so bad. Snow White was kind of hot and---holy crap!! He hated this ride!!

On the contrary, Hiyoshi was quite enjoying himself. Now they were in a mine that looked as though it would cave in on them any second. Akaya's remarks were making him laugh, but he ran his hand the through the other boys hair comfortingly anyway since he was a good boyfriend like that. Seriously? Who got scared on a princess ride? It looked like it was the end though since the dwarfs were about to send the witch over the cliff. Wait... The doors in front of them opened and the ride was over. He quickly untangled himself from Akaya. He may not have been on very many rides, but that was a very odd way to end one. Did the villain win in this movie? He didn’t think so…

"What the hell kind of ending was that?!" Akaya gaped at nothing in particular as they exited the ride and started back out into the crowds of Fantasyland, "The bad lady didn't die--there was no happily ever after---that's the worst ride ever!!" Not to mention it had totally ruined his molest-Wakashi-mood.

Hiyoshi let out a little snort at Akaya's outburst. He couldn't help it, "I actually kind of liked it," he teased with a small grin, walking a little faster in front of Akaya.

Akaya glared at him, but still laced his fingers with Hiyoshi’s anyway so they didn't get separated in the crowds, "Where should we go next?"

His face gave way to its usual blush when Akaya took his hand again. Now that they weren't running through the park, dragging each other, it would be a lot more noticeable that two guys were holding hands, but he didn't want to disappoint Akaya today so he held on despite feeling uncomfortable. "It doesn't matter to me. Whatever you want is fine." He looked around the area they were in. He saw teacups with people spinning in them really fast... NO. "What's that one?" he asked, pointing to a large odd looking pastel clock tower.

Following his gaze Akaya’s eyes lit up, "Oh! That's "It's a Small World", it's really fun, kinda weird but definitely one we should go on!" He started leading them through the mess of people and within a couple minutes they were in line for the ride.

He wasn't sure about this one. There were mostly really small kids and their parents in line and the clock itself was kind of creepy looking in its own pastel high chiming kind of way. But hell, if a princess ride ended up being enjoyable he might as well give Akaya the benefit of the doubt. So he let Akaya drag him into the line which thankfully looked like it would be inside mostly. Though he could stand large amounts of heat, the sun beating down on him was rather annoying. Right as they were about to go inside, the clock gave a louder chime and a bunch of dolls starting appearing out of it. "Akaya... just what kind of ride is this exactly?"

"A boat ride," He answered simply and watched the dolls dance around and announce the time with big sparkly eyes.

A boat ride? That didn't seem so bad. Maybe the weird dolls outside had nothing to do with the actual ride. Willingly, he entered the building. The air conditioning felt nice and the line didn't look terribly long. The walls had odd colorful paintings on them and it looked as though they were systematically putting people in little boats which then floated off into a small hole with badly written English above it. Maybe they were going to see some kind of slide show.

Akaya just went with the flow of traffic, leading them along the line until it was their turn to be loaded into a boat. They got the back row all to themselves and Akaya sat close to his boyfriend’s side, just in case they'd added a witch or something else creepy to the ride while he'd been gone.

Hiyoshi smirked as Akaya sat close to him again, not minding the closeness in the back of the small boat. Everything was fine… until he realized as they got closer to that hole in the wall the cheesy music that had been going on the background got louder… and lyrics were added. His eyes little by little got rounder and his face turned pale. He was in a fucking nightmare. There were dolls everywhere and they were singing.

Akaya turned his attention from where he was nodding his head with the dolls and mouthing the words to Hiyoshi who'd seem to have gone rigid in his seat. The look of sheer terror on his boyfriends face made that demon part of him giggle and say 'paybacks a bitch' in his head. The other part of him, the good part, took his boyfriends hand and kissed his cheek then started singing along---ok so maybe this side wasn't that good......

There were thousands of them. Singing in foreign languages and swaying back and forth to a god-awful tune that his boyfriend seemed to like singing along with. He moved away from him, curling into his own little protective shell and seethed between clenched teeth, “Do you really have to do that?”

Akaya just moved closer, it’s not like there was anywhere he could run without abandoning ship, "No, but you laughed at me on Snow White, besides, I like this song~"

If it had been any other person in the world to see Hiyoshi’s glare, they would have abandoned ship. The dolls and their creepy little eyes were going to his head and his boyfriend was only making it worse. Using his leg, he pushed his boyfriend back to the other side of the boat. “You. Stay.” He said in a gruff voice then closed his eyes and ears to the world, trying to block all of his senses from the nightmare world he’d entered.

Like he would do what he was told, heh, if he did that he wouldn't be the demon of Rikkaidai, "Wakashi, they're not going to hurt you," He scooted closer again and put a hand on his boyfriends thigh, "Are you....scared of them? They're just animatronics...."

“I AM NOT FUCKING SCARED OF THEM!” he hollered as his concentration was broken. Everyone on their boat looked back at them with disapproving eyes and Hiyoshi sunk lower in his seat as if he could meld into the plastic pastel nightmare boat. This was all Akaya’s fault. He had been perfectly fine ignoring everything until Akaya had… HOLY SHIT! Why the hell were there animals in here too looking like they were going to eat small children with their shit eating grins? Oh shit, the elephant… “don’t. touch. me.” He said in a low voice and lowered his head.

Blinking in surprise Akaya just stared at Hiyoshi with his mouth hanging open, "....woah...." He made sure to stay quiet the rest of the ride and just looked around at all the dolls and animals like a little kid. Thankfully the ride ended a few minutes later and Akaya made sure to stay a safe distance from his boyfriend until they were out of the building and back in Fantasyland.

Hiyoshi exited the ride quickly and quietly, looking down so he didn’t accidentally make any eye contact with anyone. His eye twitched again one last time when he saw what looked to be alien mushrooms on lily pads seemingly laughing at him. He really needed to get out.

Freedom! The sun had never felt so good. If he ever heard that song again someone was going to have a very deadly martial artist on there hands. His face was still pale, and his hands were white from being clenched. “Let’s go.” He said abruptly and walked off in no particular direction, trusting his boyfriend would follow after him. He needed to get out of the damn land.

Akaya smiled a little, but made sure to hide it from Hiyoshi. He trotted after his boyfriend happily, still just happy to be at Disneyland with him, even if he was scared of small world. Hesitantly he glanced at Hiyoshi, "So uh...what do you wanna do next?"

“You decide. Just as long as it’s not here.” He was no longer in the mood for happy land or whatever the hell this place was called.

His stomach answered for him with a large rumble, "Can we go get food?" He asked a bit hesitantly and pointed to the sign that said restaurant and directed toward Splash Mountain.

Hiyoshi shrugged and followed the sign in the direction of the restaurant. Now that he thought about it, it was already noon and they hadn’t eaten yet today. He’d completely forgotten about eating breakfast in the face of Akaya’s excitement that morning.

Akaya trotted along next to him, his eyes taking in the surroundings with child like amazement. He loved Disneyland. The signs led them up to Grandma Sara’s and at the smell of food Akaya perked up like a dog and practically dragged Hiyoshi inside. He pulled him over to the line and stared up at the menu, debating if he could eat everything on the menu or just three things....

Hiyoshi wasn’t terribly hungry, the doll experience having made him lose most of his appetite, but he knew that Akaya would get on his case if he didn’t eat. He ordered the chicken doria and an oolong tea. It looked like the smallest meal on the menu without looking at the children’s section.

Akaya got the mushroom and pasta salad and the hamburger steak with over seasoned rice and a HI-C Orange. The lady looked at him like he was insane, but damn it he was hungry. He took the tray to a table that had just been cleaned and mumbled a little 'ittadakimasu~' before digging into the very appetizing looking food.

Hiyoshi wrinkled his nose at Akaya’s salad and sighed. ‘Akaya better not have gotten that just to tease me,’ he thought sourly. He couldn’t stand mushrooms, and not just because they were attached to a nickname he couldn’t get rid of. “Ittadakimasu” he echoed half heartedly and started in on his own food. After a few chews he got a confused look on his face… which gradually developed into a full out disgusted grimace. “Damn it!” There were mushrooms in his damn doria!

"What?" He asked curiously with a raised eyebrow and one mushroom hanging out of his mouth like a shiny capped cigarette, "What's wrong?"

He looked up at Akaya and quickly averted his eyes; he thought he was going to be sick. “Ugh… There’s mushrooms in my doria…” he grumbled and forced down another bite of fungus infested food.

"Mushrooms are good," he said simply and unceremoniously reached over with his fork and plucked one of the pieces of mushroom out of his boyfriends dish with a little happy noise of triumph.

“No, they’re grotesque, unsightly, and sometimes even deadly.” Stubborn as he was though, he refused to show any weakness. He had paid for his damn food and he was damn well going to finish it. He stuffed another bite into his mouth and tried not to choke. Ugh… “Have as much as you want…” He wasn’t that hungry anyway.

Akaya smiled and took another mushroom filled bite before returning to his own amazing mushroom and pasta salad. He finished in record time then started on his heavenly smelling hamburger steak. Yes, life was good.

He supposed as long as it was finished it didn’t matter who ate it. “Here.” He scooted his tray over to Akaya’s side of the table. “If you like mushrooms so much, take it.”

"But what are you gonna eat?" He asked curiously, but started munching down his boyfriends food as well. He was a growing boy, he needed to eat damn it. Ok so he wasn't growing that much anymore, but he still claimed it to be a valid excuse for his bottomless pit of a stomach.

“I’m not hungry,” he replied flatly, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against his chair.

"You still need to eat," he gave Hiyoshi a little glare, but continued to eat.

“I will later.” It was cute that his boyfriend was trying to take care of him, but he was a big boy and could take care of himself. “After you finish we can go on whatever you want.”

"Hmm.....alright," he conceded and went back to work on his food. If Hiyoshi didn't eat later he'd kick his ass, but for now he figured it was fine.

Hiyoshi drank his tea and waited for Akaya to finish his meal so they could leave. Hopefully the mushrooms wouldn’t continue to follow them into whatever they did next.

Soon Akaya pushed away the tray of empty plates and stretched with a happy groan, "Done~!" He chimed happily and smiled at his boyfriend.

“Then let’s go.” How Akaya managed to eat that much food and not be sick, he would never know. He stood and made his way towards the exit. “Where do you want to go next?”

"How 'bout the haunted mansion?" He asked curiously and followed along just behind Hiyoshi, "It's one of my favorites," he smiled and then added off handedly, "oh and it doesn't have any talking creepy dolls."

“Fine.” If Akaya liked it, he doubted the haunted mansion was actually at all frightening. Surprisingly, his boyfriend was kind of a wuss when it came to scary things. He waited for Akaya to catch up and lead. This was one of he few places it seemed he could trust him not to fall asleep and get lost.

"It's really creepy, but you know--it's supposed to be-it's not some weird princess ride or somethin-" he shrugged and led them back down to the ominous gates of the mansion with a little I-just-ate~ bounce in his step. Eating always gave him tons of extra energy and he was ready to take on the park.

As long as there were no more mushrooms, Hiyoshi was good. He followed along next to Akaya as he led them to a large red brick house. It didn’t seem particularly ominous and there were a lot of small children in line. Yes, his boyfriend was probably just a wuss. As they got in line, letting Akaya take the lead, he smirked and asked in his ear, “am I going to have to hold your hand during the ride to make sure you don’t run away screaming?”

"I won't run away screaming!" He snapped and glared at Hiyoshi, but still laced his fingers with his boyfriends stubbornly. The line was slow and kind of boring, but there were cool looking graves, when he tried to read them though he frowned, "this sucks...this is Japan, they shouldn't write on the graves in English....."

Hiyoshi’s smirk only grew as Akaya snapped at him. Was it bad that he thought it was cute when Akaya was offended? He let him take hold of his hand again, figuring after that childish response people would just think he was mentally challenged and needed extra assistance. With a chuckle he started to translate the graves he could read to the best of his ability. He wasn’t great at English but he had done a lot of traveling and had a lot of experience using it. “They’re mostly bad puns.” He pointed to a small one with a pig on it. “Old Rosie. Finally went to hog heaven.”

Akaya flushed a bit as his boyfriend read the grave stones to him, it wasn't fair that his boyfriend could read them so easily, but he was happy to know what they said, "What about that one?" He asked curiously and pointed to the statue of a frog with a little plaque under it as they moved closer.

Heh. Some of them were actually amusing, such as ‘Our duck Skimmer shouldn’t have visited the neighbors before dinner’ and ‘Our Squirrel Buzz, He stopped to see if the cat was there. It was.’ He looked to the one Akaya was pointing to, “Old Flybait. He croaked.”

Akaya paused for a moment taking in what his boyfriend had just said then laughed, "That’s awesome!" he said happily and looked at the letters, trying to read it in English, "He croaked, huh? Why do their letters have to be so weird.....?" he mumbled to himself, but his fascination only lasted a moment more, then the line moved and he was distracted yet again, "We're almost there!"

As pointed out, it looked like they were almost in. He hoped this ride was worth the long line in the hot and humid weather. Oh well, at least the line itself had been somewhat amusing.

As they walked inside Akaya’s eyes went wide and he took in the decorations with amazement. He'd only been in the original Haunted Mansion in California on one of the trips his dad had taken him on, so this was a whole new experience for him, "It's so big!" he said happily and waited obediently as the cast member told him to. He looked at the portrait of a man on one wall and raised an eyebrow, "Heh? Who's that?"

Hiyoshi’s attention was currently captured by a small child being held in his mother’s arms in front of them. The kid couldn’t have been more than two or three years old and was starring back at him with two adorably wide eyes. It was cute. He gave the kid a little grin then Akaya asked him a question, stealing his attention back. “How am I supposed to know?” Hiyoshi asked incredulously, looking up at the rather odd portrait of a young man… who was progressively getting older. Then the child in front of him started crying.

Akaya’s jaw dropped as the picture began to age and he stared at it mesmerized, "Holy crap......it's----what the----" Unconsciously, he scooted closer to Hiyoshi’s side and kept his eyes glued to the picture like he was afraid the man would leap out of the frame and eat his little demonic soul.

Hiyoshi was starting to get angry at the mother for bringing her child on the ride when the kid was obviously frightened. He noticed his own big kid starting to have a similar reaction as the small one but just rolled his eyes and squeezed Akaya’s hand just as two large doors in front of them opened, beckoning them inside.

Akaya was glad to get out of the room with the creepy picture and into a much more familiar one. The relief was obvious on both his face and that of the three year old who kept staring at him and his mess of hair, while he remained oblivious to it, "Cool, I can actually understand it now," he mumbled, not really meaning to have said that out loud. He didn't like admitting he didn't know English, especially not when people knew he was half.

It was certainly interesting. The way the room stretched and portraits went from innocent to uh… disturbing. The voice over the microphone was a bit overly cheesy but even he had to admit it was a little creepy. Then there was a crash and his whole body tensed automatically as he looked up. …was that supposed to be a body hanging from ceiling? Another set of doors opened and he was more than happy to leave the room which was quickly becoming claustrophobic.

Akaya was practically glowing as they moved into the hallway that led to their doombuggies, he liked being scared when he expected it, like going to horror movies and playing games like Silent Hill, but being unexpectedly scared (like on fucked up Snow White rides) was not his style. He held Hiyoshi’s hand tightly in excitement and stayed close so they didn't get separated.

Having never actually been in a haunted house before, he honestly thought the “scary” would consist of people dressed in sheets, jumping out and saying “boo”. The actual ride was not what he had expected at all. Trying to hide the slight uncomfortable-ness he was feeling, he walked slightly behind Akaya with his head tilted down, letting Akaya’s excitement lead them to wherever they were going.

Akaya glanced over at him as they climbed into their doombuggy and their ghost host told them to not touch the safety bar, "You alright?" he said a little worried and put his hand on Hiyoshi’s thigh with a concerned look on his face.

“Of course I’m alright, idiot.” He may have said a little too snappishly to be convincing. He really was fine. There was no way some oddly shaped seats with self-moving seatbelts in a crowded black room that they were leaving now to go into a darker room and he couldn’t see anything and there was some really weird music playing in the back ground and… it didn’t bother him at all. He crossed his arms over his chest. It was just a ride, he would not be intimidated by a damn children’s ride!

Akaya just smiled and kissed his cheek, "alright," he snuggled up to the others side in silent support and let his eyes wander over the room, taking in everything as they went with a gold-fish-like attention span.

Other than a few mild jumps that occurred while going through the grave yard and nearly having heart failure when passing the dead bride with the a eerie beating heart, Hiyoshi thought he was handling the ride quite well. Yes, he thought more than once about clawing at his ears to turn himself deaf so he didn’t have to hear the screaming and misplaced soundtrack, but over all, he was doing fine. How much longer did this ride go on for?

As they heard the warning about hitchhiking ghosts Akaya’s face lit up and he scooted to the far side of the doombuggy and put his arm over the empty space, grinning like a mad man. When they came along the line of mirrors he looked over to them and laughed at the face of the tall ghost wearing a top hat and smiling back at him. He loved this ride.

Why was Akaya moving away from him? He tried not to sulk and looked away only to see their reflection in a mirror opposite them, and a very odd looking ghost sitting between them. He raised an eyebrow at how ridiculous it was when by far the creepiest thing of all started talking at them in a voice that made uncomfortable shivers run down his spine. A small dead woman was above them telling them in spooky English to “hurry back.” He wanted off this damn ride. Thankfully that was when the safety bar lifted so he was able to jump out and walk towards the exit without looking back.

Akaya laughed as Hiyoshi all but ran out of the ride and trotted after him with a big toothy grin, "That was awesome, right Wakashi?"

Grumbling something unintelligible back at him, he didn’t wait for him to catch up until he was all the way out of the building and into the welcoming sunshine again. The bright pastel colors of Disneyland never looked so good. Right then, as if sensing his newfound appreciation of the décor, the park suddenly decided to push its luck and blast cheesy music. Now that he looked around he could see thick lines of people in front of them. What now?

Akaya paused when Hiyoshi stopped and looked around in confusion, "Eh? Why'd you----" he turned his head toward the speakers and his face lit up again, "A PARADE!!!" He said excitedly and pulled his boyfriend toward the nearest open spot so they could watch.

“Akaya, why do we care about seeing a parade?” Hiyoshi asked as they found a spot to sit on the hot cement.

"Because parades are awesome!" he chimed happily and rocked back and forth on the ground, paying no mind to his burning ass, "I want to be in a parade one day, it would be so much fun!" He paused and thought about it for a moment, "But I don’t think they have tennis parades do they.....hmm...."

“No, I don’t think so,” he chuckled as the first few floats drove by. The small children around them were smiling and waving in wonder at the people dressed in funny costumes with too much make-up on. He was distracted for a moment by a couple next to them who kept moving around and standing, getting in the way of some of the kids view of the floats. With a sigh, he caught the kid’s attention and motioned for them to take his spot while he moved to sit behind Akaya.

Akaya waved along with the kids and he looked over to smile at one of them as they looked at him funny, "Do you see?" He said excitedly and pointed toward the float, "It's Stitch!! He's awesome!!" The kid laughed at him and they looked back to the float, "Buzz Lightyear is totally better," the kid added and stuck out his tongue which Akaya mimicked unhesitatingly.

Hiyoshi smacked his hand to his forehead as his boyfriend bantered with the kids on an even mental level. He leaned forward till his head was nearly on Akaya’s shoulder and chuckled, “should I leave you here to have fun with people your own mental age?”

Akaya stuck his tongue out at Hiyoshi then stole a kiss with a devious smirk, "Hey, you're the one that fell in love with me," he said simply and turned his attention back to the parade and to waving at the characters.

He blushed and pulled back hurriedly after the kiss, looking both ways to see if anyone had seen it. “A fact I will forever question my sanity on, but at least I don’t feel the need to physically and publicly proclaim it 24-7.” This was a family park after all.

"No one cares," he mumbled back and laughed, "Besides, as my mom would say, ‘if you've got it; flaunt it’." If anything he could always claim it was because he was half American, that had gotten him out of a lot as a kid.

Hiyoshi raised an eyebrow at that. Akaya certainly had an interesting upbringing. He remembered when he’d visited Akaya’s family, they had all been…uh…disturbingly touchy feely, even with him. Then an interesting idea came to him that might save him a world of trouble for the rest of the day, he only wondered if Akaya would take the bait. “Heh, I bet you couldn’t go the whole rest of day without touching me.” His face showed his usual laid back bored composure, but his eyes definitely held a challenge in them.

Akaya raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously, "Eh? I totally could, but why would I want to?" He didn't know if he liked that look in his boyfriend eyes. He liked challenges, but this.....this was just evil.....

“How about this then… for the rest of the day, you cannot in any way shape or form touch me or anyone else outside of the necessary,” his eyes were definitely gleaming now. “If you can do this then…” it would be a risk but he doubted Akaya could win anyway, “I’ll let you make up for the lost time tonight… any way you want.”

His eyes widened for a moment and he swallowed thickly trying to weigh the options, but before he could stop himself he answered, "Deal!" Damn it. He needed to stop doing that. Oh well, he could totally win.

With confident Hyotei smirk in place, he leaned forward and subtly dropped a small kiss on Akaya’s neck and breathed onto the sensitive skin, “Good.” This was going to be too easy. He pulled away quickly and heard the music fading which meant the parade was finally coming to end. “Where do you want to go next?”

His groin informed him quickly that he'd just made a big mistake and he sighed, "I guess Splash Mountain cause it's close....." He mumbled and got up to start toward the ride, shoving his hands into his pockets so he wouldn't be tempted to touch his boyfriend.

“Alright.” All too happily, he stood up from the hot pavement and followed his boyfriend through the crowd. Was there a little extra bounce to his step now? Of course not. They arrived at the line which was just over a small hill. It was huge. “Is this ride really worth waiting two hours for?” He asked skeptically.

"Yes," he said flatly and stretched his arms above his head, cracking his shoulders, "It's too hot to stay dry all day," he laughed and shoved his hands back in his pockets and looked at the people screaming as they fell down the large hill. His eyes ran over the line and he grinned, "Misters heh heh..."

Akaya seemed to like the misters a little too much and ignored him in favor of watching the logs with people sitting in them drop down which made a large splash at the bottom. Hence the name “splash mountain” he surmised. Oh well, “at least there doesn’t look to be any more stupid talking objects on this ride…” he mumbled to himself. Who would put dolls on a water ride?

The next two hours were not that bad, Hiyoshi thought. In fact, they were fairly enjoyable. It was fun to watch some of the kids in line looking so excited, not caring in the least about the long line. His own big kid was even more fun to watch. At first his hands had been in his pockets, every once in a while during conversation, he would forget about the bet and start to remove them, then he would seem to suddenly remember and with an irritated look, shove them back in again. It really was too cute. He had apparently then gotten bored after a while and started fiddling with his phone, playing some king of game. That was fine too; he liked watching the expressions on his face change depending on how well he was doing.

Akaya got bored in line and pulled out his phone to start playing games on it; there was only so much to keep his attention when they looped in the same area 6 times. Every time they passed the misters however, he paused the game and just enjoyed the feel of the small droplets of water on his superheated skin.

When they finally got up to the front of the line, Akaya shoved his phone back in his pocket and smiled at Hiyoshi, "You ready? This is going to be awesome!" They sat in the front and he was almost bouncing with excitement in his seat---at least until they pushed down the bar and stopped his movement, "I can't believe we got the front!"

Personally he didn’t care where they sat (now that Akaya wasn’t making a public scene); as long as Akaya was happy, that’s what mattered. Wait… they were in the front. That meant no one would be able to see if he… As the small log boat was released into the water and they drifted away, Hiyoshi turned to Akaya and gave him a small guiltless smile before subtly placing his hand that was next to Akaya’s leg on his upper thigh, slowly caressing it through his pants.

Akaya smiled back at his boyfriend until the hand touched his thigh. His eyes shot open and a look of mild panic ran over his face, "W-w-w-what are you doing!?" He hissed quietly and tried to wriggle away from his boyfriend, "You cheater!"

“What are you talking about?” Hiyoshi replied smoothly, turning to look forward, but didn’t remove his hand, if anything, Akaya’s squirming only making him stroke harder and closer to the inside of his thigh to keep him in place. “I only remember mentioning rules pertaining to you. I never said anything about me.”

"Bastard...." He mumbled and gripped hard at the bar to keep himself from touching back, "That's just playing dirty," he whined and tried very hard to focus on the somewhat cartoony mountain they were entering. Maybe he could sing the song to distract himself.

He should’ve known there would be more cheesy music, but he used the noise as an excuse to lean closer to Akaya to tell him wickedly, “Hey, you're the one that fell in love with me.” Using Akaya’s own previously used words against him. “You never asked me what I get if I win, either.” He pulled back but left his hand in place as they entered the dark mountain.

He swallowed hard and murmured, "So uh.....what do you get if you win?" Which you won't, he added in his head quickly. He refused to lose, even though molesting his boyfriend on the ride sounded more and more tempting the longer that hand stayed on his leg.

Smirking, he was about to answer when… oh god. Why were there fucking dolls on a water ride? Apparently Disney didn’t know how to build a ride without involving creepy singing objects. Only this time instead of human dolls there were singing animals, and he thought he might have seen a singing mushroom but he hoped that was just his masochistic imagination. Damn it… He would just have to distract himself with something else and not let it get to him.

Akaya figured he wasn’t going to get an answer until they were off the ride, judging by the creeped out look on his boyfriend’s face, so he started singing along with the ride. Before long they were going down one of the short drops and into the laughing place. He couldn't sing there, since the song was in English but he still hummed along.

After the drop and the even more incessant annoying music, he tried to block out the disturbing going on around him by focusing his attention on Akaya which wasn’t terribly hard to do. The space they were in was already small and Akaya had leaned slightly forward, probably either wanting to get closer to the creepy or relieve some of the pressure his hand had created. Yes, touching Akaya was a very nice distraction from hell.

Akaya’s eyes went wide and he shivered at the combination of the teasing touch and the cold air conditioning on his skin. At least they were almost to the big drop, that would distract Hiyoshi from torturing him, at least for a while.....

As the atmosphere of the music changed and the log took them up a steep hill, Hiyoshi withdrew his hand from Akaya figuring this was the large outside and public drop he’d seen earlier. Just glad they were getting out of singing animal hell, he crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the drop waiting for it to get done and over with. He would continue tormenting his boyfriend later.

He let out a sigh of relief as the hand moved away from his leg and threw his arms up in the air with a happy scream as he saw over all of Westernland for a second, then all he could see was a flash and the scenery racing by them as they plunged into the briar patch.

Ouch. It hadn’t been that much of a fall, so why did everyone including Akaya have to torture his eardrums? And what was that bright flash that went off? After the plummet into fake shrubbery the ride was quickly over. It hadn’t been that bad. Being able to get a little sexual teasing revenge on his boyfriend had made it worth it; he more than deserved it after all.

They went through one more area of singing and dancing animals, with whom Akaya sang along again, before they reached the dock and were told to unload. He climbed out and hurried toward the picture room. He'd almost grabbed his boyfriends hand to drag him along, but he resisted. Yes, he wasn't out of the game yet.

When Akaya dashed off ahead of him without a word or dragging him along with him as usual, his heart did a painful little flip. Akaya never left him behind like that… Maybe he was angry at him for teasing him? No… he was being stupid. He was the one who had made the dare; he was the one who didn’t want public contact. Damn it, this wasn’t going to backfire on him! He quickened his pace to catch up to him, determined to push the self-inflicted troubling feelings aside.

Akaya stopped once he was in front of their picture and a smile stretched across his face, "Wakashi, look! I like your expression," he laughed and grinned up at the digital projection of them. He was screaming and smiling with his hands in the air along with the rest of the people on the log (except the girl in the back who was cowering against her boyfriends side), but Hiyoshi---was doing anything but.

Catching up to Akaya, he looked over to where Akaya was pointing. So that was what the flash had been. He smirked at the stereotypical expression on both their faces; Akaya’s happy child-like expression and his irritable glare. The two contrasted each other so much he doubted anyone looking at this picture would ever assume they were together, let alone in a relationship.

Glancing at Hiyoshi’s smirk, Akaya smiled again and started to trot off, "I'm going to go buy it," he explained before disappearing around the corner. It was going to get framed and hung near his desk. He already knew the perfect spot.

That surprised him. Why would he want to buy it? There were other people in the picture they didn’t even know and it wasn’t like they didn’t make those same expressions every day. He watched as the other pictures flashed by while he waited for Akaya to get back. They were all different variations of the same thing; people smiling, posing, contorting their faces into odd shapes. All of them looked happy, even the ones with fear in their eyes… except him. He couldn’t help but wonder again why someone like Akaya remained with someone like him.

Akaya came back a few minutes later holding a Disney bag, wearing a big grin and a pair of Mickey ears, "Come on Wakashi, we need to go to the next ride!"

The sight of Akaya in a pair of Mickey ears efficiently broke him out of his depressing thoughts. “Where the hell did these come from?” He asked with a snort and flicked one of the ears, “you look ridiculous.”

He laughed and reached up to touch them, "Aren't they cool!? They were selling them down by the picture place..."

‘Cool’ was not the word he would have used to describe them, “I think I’ll be embarrassed to be seen in public with you now.” If it wasn’t for Akaya’s sex drive there would be no way Hiyoshi could believe his boyfriend was really a man in his twenties.

"You don't think they're cute?" he asked curiously and reached up to touch the ears again, a little frown on his lips.

Hiyoshi rolled his eyes. Sadly, the problem was that he did think they were cute, at least on Akaya. “They’re tolerable,” he acquiesced with a small smile. “Now decide what we’re doing next, we only have time for a few more things before we have to catch the train home.”

He hated that they had to leave soon, but with the length of the lines he knew there was no helping it. He didn't want to catch the last train after all, "Alright, come on. I know one we can go on!" He chimed happily and started off toward Adventureland with a big smile.

The line for the Jungle Cruise wasn't terribly long and soon they were seated on the little ship with their skipper and about 15 other people. The skippers voice alone made Akaya laugh nearly the whole trip, he didn't think men could hit that pitch unless they'd just been kicked in the balls, but apparently this guy could. It was great. His boyfriend seemed to scowl almost the whole ride but at a couple of the jokes he noticed a ghost of a smile on the others lips.

When they walked off the ride Akaya pulled out his pass and checked the time, "Awesome! We can go to Space Mountain now!"

Before heading to Space Mountain, they ended up stopping at the ‘Pizza Port’ restaurant right next door. Akaya, as expected, filled up his plate. Hiyoshi only ended up eating one slice of pizza and had another tea. Akaya gave him an almost angry disappointed look for it but figured he could deal. It wasn’t his fault he just wasn’t that hungry. Besides, Akaya ate enough for the both of them. When they were done they quickly threw out their trash and made their way to space mountain.

The line for Space Mountain was rather long but Akaya, looking excited as always, pulled tickets out of his pocket he’d gotten at the beginning of the day. Apparently they were called ‘fast passes’ and got them into a special line that wasn’t so long. Honestly he would have preferred going on Star Tours again which was also right there, but was too embarrassed to tell him so.

The ride and even the line turned out to be very interesting, it had a very Star Wars feel to it that Hiyoshi appreciated. The ride itself was an inside rollercoaster where you seemed to be flying through space surrounded by stars. The rollercoaster hadn’t been terribly fast but it had been so long since Hiyoshi had been on one that his hands had gripped the safety bar in front of him in a death grip while Akaya had screamed loudly and flung his hands in the air. Throughout the ride he’d managed keep from copying Akaya’s actions but he couldn’t hide the grin that remained on his face all the way till the end.

“Ready to head out?” Hiyoshi asked as they exited the ride. It was getting late and he wanted to get home before the big rush. By far, the best part of the park today had been the lines. Watching Akaya get excited and wearing those funny Mickey ears, watching all the families together and the kids looking like they were having the time of their life. Though going to amusement parks was still definitely not his thing, he figured he could even come again if Akaya was there with him.

"Yeah," Akaya smiled and stretched his arms above his head as they walked back toward the train station past the giant suit cased shape store. He let out a yawn and every cell in him wanted to lean on Hiyoshi’s side and go to sleep but he still wasn't allowed to touch his boyfriend. Damn his stupid competitive side.

They made it out of the park just fine and took the monorail, which was thankfully not too crowded, to their main station going home. When they made it up the platform Hiyoshi cursed, “Damn it!” Apparently they had made it just in time for the rush hour right before the final trains. It was packed. Hiyoshi hated crowded trains… but he didn’t want to just stand on the platform and wait for another that would possibly be even more packed. They pushed their way onto the train and ended up being shoved into a corner by the door. At least it was far enough out of the way that they wouldn’t have to get off to let people on and off every time the train stopped.

Yeah, being shoved in the corner next to all the sweaty people sucked, but there had always been something Akaya loved about crowded trains. He loved watching the people on them. The kids decked out in princess and Mickey Mouse gear, the parents looking exhausted but happy that their kids had a good day and even just the random business man sleeping, wishing he had time to go to Disneyland. He didn't even have to hold on to anything, he couldn't fall in the train if he wanted to, so he just swayed with the crowd and smiled at his boyfriend.

At least it wouldn’t take them that long to get home he tried to tell himself. Then Akaya and him could relax and… wait. There was something he was forgetting. After Splash Mountain they had been running around trying to get the most out of the time they had left… He had completely forgotten about the bet! At this rate Akaya was going to win without any trouble at all! He couldn’t accept that. But what could he do? They were on a crowded train and Akaya was now leaning against a corner between the door and some seats looking like he was about to nod off. Well, maybe he could use that to his advantage.

Since Akaya was already in the corner with Hiyoshi right next to him, it wasn’t that hard for him to squeeze in a little bit closer, almost completely covering Akaya’s form. “You can lean against me and fall asleep if you want…” he said as innocently as possible.

Akaya gave him a suspicious look, "I can't touch you until we get home, remember?" He wasn't the brightest tool in the shed, but he wasn't an idiot either, "I'm not gonna lose the bet."

Damn it. His boyfriend only had a good memory when he wanted to. The train stopped again and even more people were jamming into the already packed train. The pressure made Hiyoshi stumble forward till he was pushed right up against Akaya and their faces were only inches apart. This gave him another idea, but also made him ask himself a very important question. What was more important? Possibly being embarrassed as all hell or winning the bet? Well, he was a very competitive person. Already shoved up against Akaya, he purposely began to rub his body against Akaya’s with the sway of the train. “Are you sure about that?” With their faces so close together, every word spoken made his breath land hotly against Akaya’s lips and chin.

Well, he used to like crowded trains, "Oh, you're just evil....." he grumbled and let his head hit back against the plastic wall of the train, "pure evil....." He closed his eyes and swallowed thickly. Self control. Yanagi-senpai always told him he had it, he just needed to use it. He really hoped his senpai was right. He took a deep breath and smirked, "I'm not going to lose the bet, Wakashi, but if you want me that bad I'd be glad to screw you against the door, the bed, and or the desk when we get home." He made sure to speak just loud enough that the few people pressed against Hiyoshi looked at them with wide eyes.

Akaya had just signed his death warrant. He had planned on being nice about this, but since Akaya had already opened his damn mouth, there was very little Hiyoshi could do to make it worse. Though hell, maybe anyone who heard would just think he was joking since it was such a blatant public statement. “I learned from the best,” he said quietly against his neck, placing the tiniest of kisses there when the train suddenly jolted. It had been hours since his lips had last touched Akaya and he wanted more of him. “Any of the above sounds fine,” he added almost as loudly as Akaya had voiced earlier, “but only if you escape me pounding you against the hard floor.”

His breath caught and he looked up at the ceiling as if asking the gods why the hell this was happening to him, "I like the sound of that too......." Almost to their stop where they'd have to transfer trains, he just needed to hold on a bit longer.

The look on Akaya’s face was mesmerizing and Hiyoshi thought if he could just push a little harder, he might be able to break him. But that was of course right when the doors opened, announcing their stop. With an irritated groan, he pushed himself away from Akaya and got off the train.

Yes!! He was safe! Hopefully the next train wouldn't be as crowded. It was hell trying to walk and he had to reach down to adjust the groin of his pants a couple times, but it was nothing he couldn’t handle, even though he did blush as a couple girls giggled at him.

From the platform they only had to go up the escalator and then down another one to get to the next train. Hiyoshi didn’t look back as he made his way towards the other platform but knew that Akaya would follow him. Their train was scheduled to leave in two minutes and there was plenty of seating still available. He couldn’t help it. He plopped down on one of the open seats, crossed his arms, and sulked.

Akaya followed after him and flopped down in the empty seat next to him, his pants still uncomfortably tight, but at least it wasn’t painfully obvious to anyone who looked at his groin anymore.

Hiyoshi opened his mouth to say something to Akaya, then changed his mind and closed it. His hand reached out as if to touch Akaya, but quickly retracted it back. A thoughtful expression came to his face and he opened his mouth again, but then quickly closed it again. He hated it when he did this. Sinking down lower in his seat, he continued to brood. He had already told Akaya he could do whatever he wanted with him if he won; he wasn’t going to go back on his word. Not even to beg him to not use sex toys in whatever he was planning.

Akaya stared at his boyfriend like he was crazy most of the train trip. He'd seen Hiyoshi pout before, not that the other would ever admit that he pouted in the first place, but he'd never seen him gape like a fish like that before. He glanced up at the little map above the door and sighed, just a few more stops and another train transfer.....

Hiyoshi took Akaya’s arm once during the final transfer when he started walking in the wrong direction, but other than that left him alone. The next train wasn’t nearly as crowded as the other one but they still had to stand. He had stopped sulking and instead his face looked rather blank. He held onto the handle bars and at one point when the train made a sharp turn and he stumbled, he looked up at Akaya and gave him a small smile before going back to looking at nothing.

"Wakashi....." Akaya said quietly as they got off the last train at the stop for the University, "What's wrong?" He asked curiously and started toward their room.

Huh? Hiyoshi gave him an odd look. “Nothing’s wrong.” Then his expression settled into a soft smile. “We’re almost home. Seems like you won.”

Akaya’s face lit up and he grinned from ear to ear, "Awesome!! That means we're going to have fun tonight!" he walked backwards, watching Hiyoshi as they went.

Hiyoshi smirked, trying not to look nervous. “What exactly did you have in mind?”

Akaya laughed, "You'll see~" He chimed and turned back around to walk into the dorm.

His worries went up a notch. After all, once they got home he could be forced into multiple things that could put him in potentially uncomfortable situations. He swallowed nervously but didn’t say anything and walked silently the rest of the way into the room. A bet was a bet, and there was no way in hell he would back out now.

As soon as Akaya stepped foot in his room he let out a relieved sigh and kicked off his shoes. Turning, he looked at Hiyoshi, and as soon as the door was closed he kissed his boyfriend slowly and sensually like he'd been aching to since they'd made the stupid bet.

He was in the middle of taking his shoes off when Akaya’s lips were suddenly on his. Immediately he surrendered to the kiss and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend bringing him closer. “There’s one thing I want to tell you before you claim your prize,” he said breathily, completely under Akaya’s command at this point.

"And what is that?" He murmured quietly and ran his fingers along his boyfriend’s sides.

He gave his boyfriend a genuine happy smile and kissed his forehead. “Happy six month anniversary.”

Akaya blinked a couple times then smiled and squeezed Hiyoshi tight, "Happy anniversary, Wakashi," He said happily and carried his boyfriend over to the bed.

Hiyoshi didn’t like being picked up and carried around, but today he made an exception, surrendering his weight to his boyfriend’s arms. Stroking Akaya’s cheek tenderly he asked, “So what do you want for your prize?” Looking at Akaya now, he felt he really could do anything Akaya asked of him.

Setting his boyfriend carefully down on the bed Akaya walked over to the TV and unraveled two controllers before turning on the playstation 2 and TV and handing one controller to his boyfriend, "We're going to play a game."

“A GAME?!” Throwing his head back, laughter erupted from Hiyoshi. He had been worried about all the different things Akaya might ask of him and all he wanted to do was play a video game together? Once he got his laughter under control, he looked at the controller in his hands before looking back at Akaya with a sincere adoring look. “I love you. What game do you want to play?”
