"You get them... All correct, except for one."

"What?! Whuuut?! Which one? There is no way! Is it the girlfriend? Are you dating anyone?!"

"Your coffee master Takuya and dear guest." The waiter placed in front of me a white mocha while for Takuya... Black coffee?

"I actually like my coffee black, but I told the interviewer that I like them sweet for my image." Takuya said. Oh, I'm so relieved that he doesn't have a girlfriend... Wait, why am I relieved? "I'll give you bonus points for mentioning the cake store and which breed Pluto is." Takuya took a sip of his coffee then held my hand over the table. "It's my turn to be a Mikito fan, tell me all about you!"

"Uhm so, what do you want to know?"

"I know your hobbies, your favorite music, and your name. I wanna know your age, birthday, if you have a family, if I recall you mentioned a sister, your favorite color, and other stuff."

"Well... I'm twenty years old, a sophomore in TU college, my major is MIS."

"Wow, I thought you were at least eighteen, you look so young and cute." I blushed by his statement then drank my mocha to hide my blush.

"I actually have three older sisters, the one I talked to on the phone was Hinata, then Sumika, and Miku."

"It's so cool to have siblings, wish I had one." Bruh, you're lucky. "Do you have younger siblings?"

"No, I'm the youngest. I have two moms, both are beta."

"I grew up with one dad, I have always wished for a mom."

"Living in a house full of women can be exhausting, especially when they're in their period." Takuya laughed at my statement.

"True, I had my share of that pain with my ex-girlfriends."

"Oh right, you have dated a couple of girls before... Himari was your last girlfriend and it's already been two years since you broke up, is she that special? Is she the reason you're single?"

"I'd be lying if I said she was not special, she was the first woman I have ever considered marrying, but unfortunately it did not work out." I don't know why, but part of me was hurt knowing that Himari is still special to him. "But it's already been two years, I have moved on, I only hope for her happiness."

"Oh my God, you're so nice and precious, if I were a girl or if you were gay I would have dated you."

"Hahaha... I—" Takuya was cut off by a man standing next to him, from his outfit it looks like he's working in this cafe. "Oh hey, Owner-san, what's up?" I guess the owner and Takuya are friends.

"Just checking on you Takuya, your taste in women sure changed, nice date you got there."

"Oh it's not a date, and Mikito is a man, we're just two bros hanging out." Ouch, what's wrong with me? Why am I bothered by what he said? About this not being a date? Obviously, I knew from the very beginning it was not a date, but coming out from him sure wounded me.

"I erm... Need to go, I just remembered, I have an exam tomorrow, so see you later." Feeling ashamed, I gather my stuff and left in a hurry.

After walking for a while I finally cooled off. I hope I am not hated by Takuya for leaving so suddenly. "Mikito!" Suddenly someone called out my name loudly then grabbed my hand. "I-I am sorry, did I do something wrong? Did I upset you?"

"N-No, you didn't do anything wrong, I really have to study." I answered Takuya who chased after me then forced myself to smile to not worry him. His hoodie fell down and obviously, it seemed like he ran after me.

"Don't—"

"OH MY GOD!! IT IS TAKUYA SOMA!!"

"Oh fuck." Holy shit, THE Takuya Soma actually cursed. "Time to run." Takuya grabbed my hand tightly then sprinted off, I tried my best to catch up to his athletic speed, damn it, I should have exercised more when I had the chance, I should have exercised with Nobu-kun when he invited me to his workouts!

Takuya and I finally hid in one of the alleys and fortunately, none of his crazy fans that were chasing us spotted our whereabouts. "Oof... We're safe now... Mikito?!" I collapsed on his chest, my lungs are about to explode, my heart is racing like crazy, and my legs are about to give out.

"I... huff... Can't... breathe!" Takuya held me up to support my weak legs.

"Oops, I guess you're not the type who works out." Takuya took off his mask so he can breathe.

"You guess?! Hah... ha...!"

"I'm sorry for dragging you with me like that."

"Takuya... Hah...!"

"Y-Yes?!" Why's his face is red? Is he tired?

"I can't walk."

"... Eeeeh?! Oh no, don't worry, I'll carry you on my back!" Takuya seemed flustered by what I said.

"W-What?! N-No! Just give me some time." Takuya put his mask on again then wore his hoodie.

"I insist..." He trailed off then carried me on his back. "It's my responsibility since I dragged you into this mess with me, I'll take you home."

"A-Alright, fine." Kyaaa! I'm being carried by Takuya Soma! I can finally die happy. It's so worth it getting tired to be carried by my favorite celebrity. "My address is..." I tell him my address as he carried me. Some people were eyeing us suspiciously, maybe they're thinking that Takuya is kidnapping me. I smile at people as though to reassure them that everything is fine.

"Good thing your place is not so far from here."

...
..
.
Finally, we reached my place. "Can you walk?" Honestly, I can walk, but I want to savor this moment!

"No, my legs are still weak."

"... Ahem, alright then I'll help you inside." I handed him the key to my apartment so he can come inside. He put me down on the sofa then settle next to me. "Nice place you got here."

"Thanks, my sisters rented the place for me as a graduation gift."

"Are you rich or something?"

"Hm? Yes, I am?"

"Oookay."

"I'm thirsty."

"I'll get water for you, stay here."

"N-No! You already did so much for me, besides you're a guest now."

"You're still tired, I still have plenty of stamina." Takuya went to the kitchen then brought me a bottle of water from the fridge which I accepted with gratitude.

"I feel refreshed!" I said then laid down lazily on the sofa.

"Can I have some water please?"

"S-Sure there's—" Plenty in the fridge is what I'm about to say, but before I could say that, Takuya took my bottle and drank what's left of it. OH MY GOD! AN INDIRECT KISS!! Kyaaa! My face heated up with the thought of sharing an indirect kiss with my idol. God loves meeee!

"Mikito your face is red! Are you still tired?"

"Waaah!" I covered my face with a pillow that I had on the sofa.

"So, can we talk about what happened at the cafe?"

"Uh, erm... Sure."

"Why did you leave so abruptly? Did I do anything to offend you? If so, I apologize."

"I... Well, you know you are my idol and all, but when you asked me out as an outing, I thought... J-Just a bit that I'm special..."

"You are special Mikito, I never asked a guy out before, I want to get to know you, and I want us to be really close friends."

"W-When the owner said that you bring your dates to the cafe I felt like our outing is meaningless and I am just any friend you met."

"That's not true! I'm sorry, I wanted to be somewhere where we can chat casually without being disturbed and that cafe was the first thing that popped up on my mind, I didn't think it through." Takuya held my hand gently then looked into my eyes.

"I don't mean to sound petty, I am already honored that you asked me out..."

"Give me another chance! I promise I'll make it up to you. I genuinely want us to be close, please." OMG the way he's looking at me and that 'please' my heart! This man is seriously dangerous!

"O-Okay!"

"Oh! I am so happy to hear that! I will be very busy next week, how about the week after that? Same day, same time?"

"Ah I can't, I have exams the week after this one." He looked a bit disappointed, so cute.

"It's okay, school should come first."

"How about two weeks after this one? I'll be free on Monday from ten am until three pm."

"Alright, I'll clear my schedule that day!" Takuya said with the brightest smile I have ever seen. Aaah! My eyes! Too bright! I think I'll go blind! "Awesome, cool! Then I'll see you later." Takuya stared at me affectionately for a while before leaving which made my heart beat so loudly.

"Holy crap, going out with your heartthrob is definitely not good for your heart, especially when they're handsome!"

...

Two
Long
Weeks
Of torture passed!

Fucking hell... The professors are seriously trying to kill me. I stayed at the library with my other classmates to study, these whole two weeks, the only thing I tasted was despair and coffee. It felt like months! Jesus, I'm so sleeping this weekend.

"Mikito, are you alive?" Erika who's as dead as me asked.

"What does alive means?"

"... I don't know, I can't feel my hands. I've been typing non-stop."

"Shion died, look at him." Mikito pointed out our classmate Shion who looks like a lump of melted marshmallow. "Boohoo..." I let out some tears in relief that it's finally over.

"Miki, don't cry, the professors feed on our despair and tears, you'll only make them more powerful." I wiped my tears then nodded my head. "You're strong, you can do it."

"Endure and survive!" I said.

"Yes! Now that we're done, I wanna sleep till Monday, you're lucky that your place is close by."

"Saaaame! See you on Monday. We both went out our separate ways, back HOME.

"Dear Lord help me." Once I went back home, without even taking a shower I went into a deep sleep.

Takuya POV.

"Hah...! T-Takuya...! Hold me!" I don't know how, but somehow both Mikito and I ended up on my bed naked.

"Mikito, you're so cute." Mikito's fair skin turns a shade of red when I complimented him.

"I-I want a kiss." I smirked then leaned in kissing him passionately. I touched his soft chest which made him moan, God that turned me on. My hand travels to his nipples and I massage them between my fingers. "A-Ah...! This feels hah...! G-Good...!" I suck on his right nipples to get a stronger reaction then my hand travel down.

"You're hard Mikito."

"So are you." I insert one finger inside which made him wrapped his arms around my neck. "Put it inside." Mikito whispered in my ears.

BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
...
..
.
I jolt up wide awake. "What the fuck?" I check the sheet and see that I'm up. "A wet dream at my age? And with a man?" Dear Lord, am I that pent up that I had a wet dream about a man?

Today is Sunday and the first thing that invaded my head is Mikito. The moment our eyes met I couldn't get him out of my mind, it felt like he was the only one in my sight, his cute voice, his smile, and the way he carries himself are so endearing.

I admit that I purposely bumped into him at the party to get his attention, but I didn't intend to trip him. When I heard his voice for the very first time I wanted to hear it more, to talk with him more and I felt envious of his friends that they can talk to him anytime. I washed my face then took care of my 'little situation' then changed into a tracksuit for my morning jog, after that I walked Pluto in the park then went back home and lift some weights, then drank coffee while checking the news.

After I was done with my morning routine my mind was occupied with thoughts of Mikito, am I gay? Do I like men? Do I even like Mikito? Is that the reason why am I so attracted to him?
...
..
.
No, I am straight. I am just interested in him as a friend, that wet dream was just because I was pent up, and because he was probably incredibly sexy yesterday when he was tired from running, his flushing red face, his sweat dripping from his face to his neck and— No! No! Mikito is a man, I am straight and that's it!
...

I'm calling Yuri, he knows what to do.

Mikito POV.

Today is Sunday and I am relaxing at home after the hell I experienced the last two weeks. I made myself a cup of cafe au lait. I can't stand bitter stuff, I prefer my coffee sweet.

Takuya loves his coffee dark... He is indeed an existence different than any of us. I am so excited for tomorrow, I can't believe I am going out with Takuya again! I am so damn happy!

I checked my Jastagram to see a dm from Takuya Soma?! Holy shit, how did he find my account? Well, obviously my account's name is Mikito_Kobayashi (Also my profile picture is me). I opened the chat to see a cute picture of him and his dog Pluto, it's so cute. I replied to his picture with a happy emoji, just as I'm about to write 'good morning' to Takuya, my phone rang. I checked the ID and it was Nobuaki, weird, he never calls this early.

"Hello? Nobu-kun?"

"Mii-kun, thank God, I thought it was too early for me to call! Can you come over? I need to talk to you about something." Nobuaki said.

"Okay, I'll be at your place in twenty minutes."

"Awesome, love ya bestie!"

"... Love you too." I hang up then get changed.

After twenty minutes, I get off the bus to Nobuaki and Yoru's place. I rang the bell and the one who opened the door was Yoru. "Mikito? What are you doing here?" Yoru asked looking confused.

"Nobu-kun said he needed to discuss something with me." I answered.

"Ah! Sorry love, I forgot to tell you Mii-kun is coming over." Nobuaki kissed Yoru's cheek then wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Let's go Mii-kun." I got dragged by Nobuaki who rushed us outside. Yoru sighed then shook his head.

"Be careful Nobuaki, I'll wait for you." Yoru said which Nobuaki responded by smiling bashfully then waving goodbye for his beloved.

We sat down in a nearby cafe. "Just so you know I came over so early because you're my best friend." I said.

"I knooow, and I appreciate you for that Mii-kuuun~" Nobuaki said.

"Pfft... Yoru sure matured up, he stopped calling you Nobu-idiot, but you're still as childish as ever."

"You love meeee..." I chuckled then rolled my eyes.

"So, what do want to discuss?"

"It's about my wedding... I was avoiding the subject out of respect for your feelings, but Mii-kuuun, it's my wedding! I have always wanted you to be my best man and give a speech!"

"... You're so selfish and shameful Nobu-kun."

"I know..."

"But you're still my best friend regardless, I will grant you your wish, but on one condition."

"Name it."

"I want to invite someone to the wedding, a friend of mine."

"Sure bestie! Invite whoever you want, but like not a lot, Yoru will kill me."

"Pfft... It's only one person."

"Alright! So tell me, how's college treating you?" We engaged in small talk and were catching up to the latest news about our lives, I didn't mention to Nobuaki that I met Takuya nor that he will be the person that I'll bring along. Nobuaki may have broken my heart, but at the end of the day he is still my best friend, I want to make him happy.
