Episode 4
*later tht night, aftr work, when everyone was home, Jared approached Takashi*
Jared: Hey, Uncle Taka
Takashi: Hai, Jared-chan. Doushita?
Alexis; 8cocked an ear8
Jared: *handed him a ticket*
Takashi: Nani? *takes the ticket*
Jared: I got reservations for u. Dinner at a fancy restaurant at the colon area. All u can eat.
Takashi: Ho...Honto ka (really)??
Alexis; 8rolled his eyes8
Jared: Yup. Got u some nice clothes to wear too, since its a rather posh plc. Better be off. If ur late for the reservation time as stated in the ticket, someone will take ur seat
Takashi: Hai, hai! *sees the time* 7-ish. Hai! I'll go right up to change! *zooms off*
Antonio; What was that about/
Jared: *grins knowingly* Let's just say Stupid Cupid Project is in session
Takashi: *quickly changed n hauled a cab to go to the plc. When he reached there, he realized Jared was right: It was a posh place. Adjusting his tie n suit, he went in, presented the ticket n was led to a seat where Amber was already there*
Amber; 8was wearing a suit as he sat reading the menu8
Takashi: A-ra? *sees Amber bt has yet to knw who he is* Nanda? Did I get the wrong seat?
Amber; Depends, are you Takashi Yamazaki/
Takashi: Hai, boku wa Takashi Yamazaki (I am Takashi Yamazaki). Anata wa... (you are)?
Amber; Amber Le Fay
Takashi: Amber...Amber... *thinks bk* Ah!! Amber-san! Ur the one they told me who has a crush on me!
Amber; 8blushes8
Takashi: *sat dwn* Ah...Bijin ne (so handsome). Though ur a little less than I had expected
Amber; 8cleared his throat8
Takashi: Ah. Gomen ne. U'll hv to excuse me. I'm a bit outspoken sometimes
Amber; 8nods8
Takashi: *browsed thru the menu* Sa...If u dont mind me asking...Wht did u see in me?
Amber; 8looked up8 There's something mysterious about you
Takashi: A-ra? B...Boku (me)? Wht's so mysterious abt me? Everyone says I'm an open book
Amber; I sense there's more to you
Takashi: Uh-huh. Right. *not reli convinced as he scanned thru the menu, deciding on his order*
Amber; 8looked to choose his8
Takashi: *while waiting for his order, looked at Amber a little. He was handsome in a way, with slightly wild-looking hair n small eyes. Frm first glance, ppl would think he was an average brain cell, bt if they were to look closer, he had a sort of gentle, suave feel to him*
Amber; 8exaimed Taka, despite being a virus he could sense a strong spirit in him and a noble heart8
Takashi: I assure u, no matter how much u look at me, this is everything u'll get. Like I said, open book *their order came in* Ooh~! Meshi (food)~!
Amber; You seem to be fond of your food. 8thank the waiter as his was set down8
Takashi: He he, cant help it. Being a virus means u dont get to hv decent food while ur in hiding n can only rely on trash food. *quickly tucked in*
Amber; 8looked at him in surprise8
Takashi: *noticed Amber's expression* Daijobu, daijobu. It's no big deal. Been doing this for almost all my life with my aneki-tachi (brothers). I'm used to it. Though now I cant say no to decent food *smiles*
Amber; 8ate slowly8
Takashi: *ate his, sipped on the wine tht went with the food* So...how long hv u been with n under Paul-san?
Amber; I've been working with him since he came to office but I've known him his whole life
Takashi: Oh? U his guardian or something?
Amber; 8nods8 He was left in my care after his parents died
Takashi: Ah, so-ka. No offence bt he's kinda bratty for a gaki (kid)
Amber; 8sighed8
Takashi: Ah, g-gomenasai *looks dwn apologetically*
Amber; 8slowly picked at his food8
Takashi: Sorry...I didnt mean to... *mentally cursed himself for being a moron*
Amber; It's. . . it's ok
Takashi: No its not. I insulted Paul-san, n Paul-san is family to u. Meaning I insulted family *got off his seat n went on his knees, bowing to the ground the Japanese way to apologize at Amber's feet* Gomenasai
Amber; 8started to blush, embaressed8
*everyone in the restaurant was looking, surprised at wht Takashi was doing*
Amber; 8went redder8
Takashi: *has not move frm his spot. In Japanese tradition, unless the person forgave u, u r usually not allowed to get up*
Amber; 8got up, setting money on the table and hurried out8
Takashi: *looked up to see Amber running away n paid his share, chasing aftr him* Amber-san! Amber-san, where r u going? Amber-san!
Amber; 8thought8 How could I be so stupid
Takashi: *caught up with him* Amber-san! I...I'm sorry I embarassed u just now. I didnt mean to...It's just tht u were so upset and...
Amber; 8didn't dare look at him8
Takashi: *sighs* I knw I screwed up big time. Wakata (I knw)...If u hate me, I understand...I'll go *turns ard, prepares to leave*
Amber; 8felt his stomach knot8
Takashi: *slowly walks away, biting his lip, trying to hold bk his tears tht he hadnt cried in a long, LONG time. It only happens wen he knws he screwed up something big*
Amber; 8sighed8
Takashi: *walks at a nearby park to clear his head a little, trying to will his tears away so tht no one will find out once he goes home*
Amber; 8looked round for the virus8
Takashi: *was standin by the pond, looking at the fishes swimming in it, then reaches dwn to get a handleful of water n splash it at his face, camouflaging his tears*
Amber; 8searched until he found him8
Takashi: *once his face was wet, he let his own tears flow freely, crying n cursing himself in Japanese*
Amber; 8watched him8
Takashi: *still cursing himself in Japanese, burying his face in his hands, sobbing*
Amber; 8slowly walked up8
Takashi: *doesnt hear him as he was busy crying*
Amber; 8reached out slowly8
Takashi: *felt the touch n spun round, the spikes on his arms sticking out in defence mode*
Amber; 8backed away8
Takashi: *released it was Amber in shrank his spikes bk* Ah! A...Amber-san! I didnt...I... *bit his lip, his tears poured evn more* *thinks* Kuso (damn it) I screwed up again!
Amber; 8trembled8
Takashi: Chikusho (Fuck)! Baka, baka, baka (stupid, stupid, stupid)~!! *cursed himself as he made a run for it all the way bk home*
Antonio; Hey Taka, what's wrong/
Takashi: Urusai (shut up)!! *made run to his room n slammed the door*
Antonio; 8gave a worried look8
Ricardo: *made a gesture to either Antonio, Thrax or Julius to go talk to him*
Thrax; 8got up and went upstairs8
Takashi: *hid under the covers, hugging the pillow, burying his face in it, sobbing hard*
Thrax; Taka/
Takashi: Go away! Leave me alone!
Thrax; Taka please
Takashi: *continues to sob, bt didnt make him go away*
Thrax; 8clenched his fist8
Takashi: *sobbed for a while, still under the covers* Wht do u want?
Thrax; What happened Taka/
Takashi: *hesitated for a while before telling him btwn sobs everything*
Thrax; 8sat on the bed8
Takashi: *finished his tale, then cursed himself in Japanese*
Thrax; 8sighed8 Taka you need to talk to him
Takashi: I tried to! Bt u should've seen the look on his face! He was scared of me! Kowai ne (I'm scary)! He'll nvr talk to me now!
Thrax; He was scared, he just wasn't expecting that reaction8#
Takashi: I showed my spikes at him! I could've killed him! Baka, baka, baka~!! *buries his face some more n sobbed*
Thrax; 8rubbed his back8
Takashi: He hates me now, I knw it. He hates me. I'll nvr evr date again...
Thrax; Taka calm down
Takashi: How can I? Julius oni-sama is right: I'm just a gaki (kid) who'll nvr mature
Thrax; Easy Taka
Takashi: *pouts, bt seemed to hv calmed dwn frm his crying*
Thrax; 8patted his shoulder8
Takashi: W...Wht should I do...?
Thrax; Talk to him
Takashi: Wht if he doesnt wanna talk with me?
Thrax; Ya won't know unless you try
Takashi: ...Wakata (I understand). I'll...try talking to him tomorrow...I'm...tired *which he is, aftr all the crying*
Thrax Get some rest brother
Takashi: Hai... *finally came out of his covers n lay dwn properly in bed, falling asleep almost immediately*
Thrax; Quietly left the room
Ricardo: *sees Thrax coming dwn* How's it hanging?
Thrax; He's asleep now
Ricardo: Wht happened?
Thrax; 8told them8
Ricardo: Mamamiya. Tht is reli a date gone wrong
Thrax; 8nods8
Ricardo: *sighs* Matchmaking reli isnt easy, I suppose. Poor Jared. If he knws, he'll feel guilty too
Thrax; I agree
Ricardo: Hearing frm wht u said, I think probably both r at fault. I mean, Taka shouldnt hv said the things he said, bt Amber shouldnt hv just walked out, leaving Taka kneeling like tht for everyone to see. Its his tradition aftr all
Thrax; Sometimes it's hard inderstanding some cultures
Ricardo: True, tho I would've expect Amber to make an effort, since he was the one who liked Taka first
Thrax; True
Ricardo: Let's just hope everything will turn out alright
Thrax; So do I
*soon everyone turned in to bed as it was getting late*
Thrax; 8kissed his mate's neck8
Ozzie: Mmh *leans ovr to kiss him* I heard Jared just played Cupid. So how did it go for Taka?
Thrax; Eh. . .
Ozzie: *figured it out* Ah. Not so good, huh?
Thrax; 'Fraid so
Ozzie: Poor Taka. Poor Jared too. He was so happy wen he told me abt his plan to matchmake them
Thrax; 8sighed8
Ozzie: I hope tomorrow will be better
Thrax; As do I
Ozzie: *kisses Thrax before climbing up to bed*
Thrax; 8lay beside him8
Ozzie: *yawns* So tired today. We got full house all day, not only frm the trainees, bt also outside customers
Thrax; Business is booming then
Ozzie: Yeah. Speaking of booming *told Thrax abt the Sleeping Sickness germ n wht he heard frm the guys abt him n his crush for Dieter*
Thrax; Oh boy
Ozzie: *grins* I find it interesting. It almost sounds like a triangle relationship going on
Thrax; 8massaged his forehead8
Ozzie: We'll just hv to see how things r unfold
Thrax; 8nods kissing him again8
Ozzie: *kisses him bk* I love u
Thrax; Love you to baby
Ozzie: *cuddles against him n fell asleep*
Thrax; 8soon drifted off8
*later in the middle of the night, someone approached the concentration camp of the hormones, shrouded in darkness n came up to a group of he-hormones drinking at an alley*
He-H: 8cunged down an adrenilin drink8
Stranger: *remains in the darkness* I see we're having fun here
He-H: What da ya want/
Stranger: Just a little something. I'll make it worth ur while *tosses them a pouch of money*
He-H2: *picks up the pouch n sees the money, then see the built of the stranger n recognize him* Hey, aint ya the...
Stranger: Shut it. U'll spoil the surprise
He-H; Wat ya want done/
Stranger: Eliminate this person *gave them the picture* At all cost
He-H2: *sees the picture n pockets it* How're u gonna spring us outta here? If u havent notice, we cant get out till nxt year
Stranger: Dont worry. Everything is arranged. Just get the job done *disappeared into the shadows*
8the group looked at the photo8
*the picture was Osmosis Jones*
