Episode 32: Cake Boy

"Dude! This is so weird!" Kyo said. "Who’d ever thought you’d be working here?"

Shinya flushed. "I never expected anyone to get that flyers. But I guess it traveled all the way to campus ne?"

"Shinya-san!" Levin glomped him. "I missed u!! T_T"

"Levin!" He hugged the younger man.

Everyone else said their greeting, then grabbed their keys and went to their rooms. Die stayed behind.

"Er...ano... how’s the business?" Die asked after everyone left.

"Oh, good." Shinya said. "How’s class?"

"Good." Die nodded.

Silence.

"Gomen."

"Huh?"

"For not writing to any of you."

"I figured you were busy."

"And truthfully, I am and I was. We’re having more and more customers lately."

"Really?"

"Ano…wanna have some tea?"

"No. That’s alright." Die said. But sat down on the couch.

Shinya sat beside him and clutched his kimono nervously.

"So, how many cutomers do you have now?" Die asked, trying to contain his own nervousness.

"Plenty." Shinya said. "Actually, we’re having a politician throw a party in the reception room tomorrow."

"REALLY? Kakkoi."

"But we’re not sure we can handle that many people." He sighed. "There’s only four of us: my parents, me, and my cousin. We don’t know what to provide for entertainment."

Die nodded. Then smiled. "We can help you."

Shinya blinked. "What?" But your’e on vacation!"

Die shrugged. "We are and we’re gonna spend it with you." He smiled. "we don’t mind."

Shinya bit his lip uncertainly. "But I don’t’ feel right making you work fo rus."

"You’re not making us do anything. We chose to do it ourselves. Besides, what are friends for?"

shinya opened his mouth in protest, but was cut off by Die leaning forward and pressing his lips on the bishounen. Shinya stiffened in surprise, but sighed when Die forced his tongue in and explored his warm cavern. After Die pulled back, Shinya found himself lying on the couch. His breathing was labored and his eyes were hazy. Die stroked Shinya’s lips with his thumb.

"Shinchan…"

Shinya blushed.

"…you don’t’ know how long I’ve wanted to see you and be with you." Die looked at him lovingly. "Shinchan…you’re so beautiful…"

the bishounen could feel his heart beat rapidly. "D-die-kun…" Die bent down again and kissed those soft, innocent lips. This time, with a lot more passion and vigour.

Shinya moaned as Die trailed his open-mouthed kisses down the delicate throat.

"You’re so beautiful…" Die murmured again and again. "…so sweet…so innocent…"

Shinya couldn’t think. He felt dizzy from all these emotions that came into play. He wanted this for so long, and now that he has it, he felt so overwhelmed. Die began tugging the kimono down so that half of Shinya’s chest was exposed.

Shinya widened his eyes. "Wait, Die! This kimono’s expensive! Don’t----aahh!!" he arched his back as the red head sucked and nipped his nipple. Die continued teasing the pink flesh while the younger man wimpered and grapped his red hair from behind.

Suddenly, the door slammed open and a girl’s voice rang out. "Shinya! It’s your turn to---!!" the girl gasped.

Die immediately got off Shinya and Shinya quickly fixed his kimono.

The girl kept staring.

Shinya blushed and bit his lip. "Die, meet my cousin Megumi. Megumi, this is Die."

"Nice to meet you." Die cleared his throat.

"Nice to meet you too." Megumi grinned mischievously.

Die avoided the girl’s gaze.

"Tsk. Tsk. Shinya, are you sure you’re still a virgin?" Megumi teased.

Shinya pouted. "Shut up, Megumi."

"Just be glad it wasn’t your mom or dad that walked in." Megumi winked and left.

Die stared at her as she went away. "That’s your cousin?"

Shinya flushed. "Hai. I know, she’s a bit forward ne."

"That she is; but she’s not as kawaii as you." Die grinned and hugged him from behind. He sniffed the auburn hair. "Hm…you smell nice too."

Shinya pouted and hit him playfully. "Baka."

***

Kaoru walked around the resort but couldn’t find Shinya anywhere. He was going to ask for some food to give Toshiya. Finally, he found another employee sweeping the floor.

"Sumimasen." Kaoru called out.

The person turned around. "Hai?"

"Ano… I was wondering if you had any food?"

The lady smiled sweetly. "Why, of course." She paused. "Are you one of Shinya’s friends?"

"yes."

"Ah. Come with me. I’ll give you food for free."

"Really?"

"Hai. You students took care of my little Shinya while he was at the university. It’s the least I can do." She led the purple head down the stairs.

"Are you Shinya’s mother?"

"Yes. How’d you guess?"

"You both have the same smile."

The older woman laughed softly. "if only Shinya would smile more. So what do you want to eat?"

"OH, actually, it’s not for me. It’s for a friend of mine."

"A friend?"

"Hai. He’s not feeling well."

Mrs. Terachi nodded. "You’ve come to the right person. I know much about herbal medicine. What sickness does your friend have?"

"Well, he’s not really sick. He’s just exhausted."

"Hmmm. How about some soup?"

"That would be fine."

The two entered the kitchen, where an elderly man had a huge wok and cooked with great skill. He poured the wok’s contents into a plate. Kaoru’s mouth watered at the sight and smell. The elderly man turned and faced them with a jolly smile. "Oh! Hello there!"

"Hi." Kaoru greeted shyly. It felt weird to meet Shinya’s parents.

"Honey, do we have any vegetables left?" Mrs. Terachi asked.

Mr. Terachi blinked. "No. I thought you were going to the grocery so I ate them."

"Baka."

Mr. Terachi gave a jolly laugh. "You love calling me names. Even in front of guests." He turned to Kaoru. "Be glad she’s toned down quite a bit. Should’ve heard her 20 years ago. She had a glutton of a mouth."

"Look who’s the glutton now."

"It’s your fault though. You fattened me up!: He patted his big beer belly. "Who’d think I used to have a six pack here."

"You’re right about something for once. Who would believe you?" Mrs. Terachi smiled, then changed the subject. "By the way, Shinya’s friend needs food."

"Ah…are you one of his friends from the dorm?" Mr. Terachi asked.

"Hai."

"Are you that guy Shinya keeps talking about?" Mr. Terachi inquired.

Mrs. Terachi and Kaoru blinked.

"I don’t’ recall Shinya ever talking about anyone from the dorm." Mrs. Terachi said.

The elderly man shook his head. "I overheard him and Megumi talking one day. Something about a boyfriend."

Mrs. Terachi gasped. "You mean, our baby has a boyfriend?? Are you the one?"

^^;; "I assure you, It’s NOT me." Kaoru said.

"Then who is it?" Mr. Terachi asked.

"Er…ano…"

"Honey, we should ask Shinya ourselves." Mrs. Terachi insisted. "Even so, isn’t that wonderful? Our little baby’s grown!"

Kaoru looked at both of them and wondered if parents wwere always quick in jumping conclusions. They weren’t even sure of what they heard and they’ve already formed an assumption. Eventually, Kaoru got his soup and went up to visit the blue head, who roomed with Hakuei.

*****

Later that night…

The reception room had the Diety Hall residents (except Toshiya, who was asleep, and Hakuei, who was with him.) Shinya’s parents, Megumi, and Shinya gathered there. Die had insisted to csll a meeting and discuss how they could help out with the politicians party the next night.

"I’d feel terrible if you kids had to work during vacation!" Mrs.Terachi stated. "And to think. You all drove so many hours to get here."

"IT really is alright with us, Mrs. Terachi. Please don’t worry. We want to help." Miyabi spoke up.

"Ya! Anything for Shinya-san." Levin said.

Shinya was touched.

"So, what’s the politician’s party about?" Die asked.

"Some politician calledin to say they wanted a birthday party here." Mr. Terachi replied. "They said it was the perfect place because it’s secluded in the mountains."

"But we need help because there will be plenty of guests and they’ve reserved our reception room for the whole night. Shinya and Megumi can’t play the piano as entertainment for that long; and puppy can’t do tricks all night." Shinya’s mother explaned.

"PUPPY?!" they all asked.

Shinya flushed. "My dog."

"Maybe we can have different forms of entertainment every hour or so." Kaoru suggested.

Die nodded. "And if you need help in the kitchen or with serving, we can split the labor too."{

Mr. Terachi’s eyes gleamed. "Arigatou. You are such good people. Now I don’t’ regret sending Shinya to a school with such caring students."

"So how do we split the jobs?" Levin asked.

"We need some people to be washing dishes, waitressing, a greeter, entertainment, and cooks." Megumi said, bringing out a sheet of paper with a chart on it. "They’ve paid a great sum of money for tomorrow night so that no other guests would be here. It should be fairly simple to sign up."

Kyo cackled. "Just as long as Kaoru doesn’t cook, we’d be OK."

Kaoru pouted.

"What about the entertainment?" Hiro asked.

"I left my guitar in the car," Miyabi said. "I could play it."

"That’s great" Megumi quickly jotted it down. "Come one, more suggestions guys."

"We can have some people sing karaoke and get some people to participate." Taka said.

"Good idea." Megumi said. "We have an old karaoke machine somewhere. We can have that at the endof the night."

Kyo suddenly had a thought, then laughed. "Maybe we ought to have someone burst out of a cake."

"That’s actually a good suggestion." Megumi said.

"Megumi! That’s insane!!" Shinya said.

"Those politicians want thosethings." Mr. Terachi said. "I think it’s worth a shot.

Shinya sighed in resignation. "So, who wants to be a cake boy? ---or girl?"

Megumi shook her head. "Hey. I have to help in the kitchen."

"Ano…what’s a cake person?" Levin asked.

Everyone: ~sweatdrop~

"Er, it’s someone who bursts out of a big big cake." Shinya explained.

"Why?"

"For a birthday… as a birthday present."

Levin blinked. "But why would that be a birthday present? Wouldn’t that destroy the cake?"

Die cleared his throat. "Well… the person comes out, and does stuff for the birthday boy.."

"What stuff?"

Die looked at Shinya, who looked back at him helplessly. "Er…" Die began. "…stuff that the birthday boy would like."

"Really? Why? If the birthday boy likes it, shouldn’t he do it himself?"

"Let’s talk about this later,ne?" Shinya said.

"Bue who’d be crazy enough to BE the cake boy?" Koji inquired.

"Haha! I can see Toshiya doing it!" Kyo laughed.

Kaoru choked. He was glad Toshiya and Hakuei were upstairs. "Kyo, are you sure about that? I mean, can you see Totchi stripping in front of all those people??"

"If he had an incentive, yeah."

"Incentive?"

"Yep. Piss him off into doing it and he won’t hesitate. Look at what happened to us in the van>"

Kaoru frowned. "But Kyo, it’s like blackmail."

"Don’t deny it, Kaoru," Die winked. "I know you’d like to see him strip off a bunny suit."

Kaoru flushed. It was a very good thought. "But you guys are forgetting something. Hakuei’s here."

"He doesn’t have to be in the reception hall when that happens." Koji suggested.

"But I still don’t think it’s right." Kaoru insisted.

"Toshiya doesn’t have to strip all the way." Shinya suggested. "He could just strip down to the bunny suit, then stick around the reception hall and act as a hostess. Jump from one table to another and converse with people. I know he’s very good at talking and getting people’s favor. I’m sure he’ll make a lot by tips."

"That’s great!" Die said. "Hakuei doesn’t mind that and we wouldn’t have to force Toshiya to do anything."

"But where are we gonna get a bunny suit?"

"I saw Toshiya pack his own in the luggage." Kaoru said.

"What?"

He shrugged. "He said it was a surprise for Hakuei."

"Good." Megumi said. "Then that problem’s settled."

Kaoru frowned. "What makes you so sure Toshiya would be willing to do it? And who’s gonna tell him?"

Die pointed. "you."

"WHAT??"

"Who else?"

"But why me? What did I do?!"

"He only listens to you." Die pointed out.

"B-b-b-b-but…"

"C’mon, Kaoru. Let’s go." Die grabbed Kaoru’s arm and led him to the door. "We’ll be back."

Kaoru protested. "DIE! He’s going to KILL ME!!"

"No he won’t"

"Yes he will! Die,this isn’t fair!"

"I don’t’ think he’d want to lose his favorite roommate."

They finally reached the door and Die knocked. "C’mon, buddy, don’t panick."

"I’ll get you for this, Die." Kaoru seethed.

The door opened and a sleepy Toshiya came out. He was half lidded and yawing; he looked terribly cute. "Eh? Die? Kaoru?"

"Feeling better, Toshiya?" Die inquired.

Toshiya stretched his arms. "I had one nice, long nap. I feel so much energy right now that I’m not sure I can sleep tonite."

"That’s good to hear. Where’s Hakuei?"

"OH, he’s asleep."

"Ah…" die grinned. "BTW, Kaoru wants to tell you somehting." He patted his best friend hard on the back, which sent Kaoru forward.

"Hountou? What’s up, Kaokao?" he asked.

"Eh…" Kaoru thought a moment of what to say.

Toshiya looked at him expectantly.

Kaoru turned around to get help from Die, but discovered that the red head disappeared. He cursed at himself.

"Ano, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to." Tohsiya said.

Kaoru bit his lip. "Well…if I don’t tell you, then nobody else will. So I kinda have to…"

Toshiya raised an eyebrow. He sensed something amiss. "Tell me."

"Er… Die wanted to gelp the resort out and we all agreed to do it. They are having a party for some politician tomorrow nite, but they’re short of entertainers. Then we were thinking that maybe someone popping outta a cake would be good. So we voted you to do it."

Toshiya froze and remained silent.

"A-ano…you don’t have to strip all the way. You just have to get down to your bunny suit. That’s all… ^^;;;; " Kaoru started to become more nervous when Toshiya did not respond. "…..Totchi…?"

suddenly, the blue head grabbed Kaoru by the collar and shook him repeatedly. "WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!>>?????""

Kaoru: O_O;;; *very terrified*

"You want ME to get in front of a bunch of OLD FARTS and be a CAKE BOY!!?!?!?! An erotic sex symbol for people I don’t’ even know!?????????!!!!!!!!!"

"00; well, Totch-----!"

Toshiya continued to shake him. "WHO’S IDEA WAS THIS???"

"Kyo started it---"

"I’ll kill him." Toshiya growled. "what does he think I am? A *SLUT?*"

^^; Kaoru decided not to comment on that. "But Mr. And Mrs. Terachi thought it was a wonderful idea." He pointed out.

Tohsiya stopped then blinked. "Mr. & Mrs. Terachi? What are you talking about?"

"Mr. & Mrs.Terachi own the resort. Didn’t you know that?"

"I was asleep all day, Kaoru."

"Oh."

Tohsiya’s eyes abruptly widened. "Does that mean Shinya’s here too?"

"…Yes…"

Tohsiya shook him again. "OH. MY. GOD! I have to see him again. GYAHH!! Kaoru! Where is he? Take me to him!"

Kaoru suddenly had an ide. "If you become the cake boy. I’ll take you there."

"WHAT!!!!" Toshiya exclaimed. "Kaoru, are you black mailing ME?"

Kaoru shrugged. "Why not?’

"MOU~!!! >.<~! FINE!"

"You have your bunny suit, right?"

Toshiya pouted. "hai."

"And the bunny ears?"

"Hai."

"Good. Let’s go see Shinya."

Toshya frowned. "Kaokao, you’re mean."

Kaoru grinned. "Thanks."
