We Strolled These Crowded Streets.

Does it ever stop raining here?

I'm on my way to my dull job, at a women's and men's lingerie store, the name you ask? 'Oh Dang, Lets Bang'. Funny, I know. Its actually amusing when you see someone you know wonder in here, all shy and somewhat embarrassed. I finally arrived to this hell of a place, just to pay my bills. Some days are just longer than others.

''Good Morning Hitomu!'' The Lady's at the counter were following there routine, I think they may fancy me, I don't know but they're cute; I don't think they've figured out I'm gay yet though. As I stumble to my usual place, at the changing rooms, I'm the assistant, I get to see girls in lingerie, not that exciting, but there is an occasional guy, which is always fun. I was standing at the counter waiting for someone to walk buy and ask for help, I really didn't want to be here, even though its been 3 months after Tooru's death I still don't want to do anything but sleep. I glanced around the store, looking for any hot guys to check out, about 10 girls were in the shop giggling, they didn't look any older than 16. My oh my, this really is going to be a long day. My eyes convert to the entrance as someone dawdles in, Hibiki? What is he doing here?

He walked towards me and I stare at the ground, embarrassed to see this man I kissed about 2 months ago.

''Hitomu? Is that you'' Hibiki asks. I look into his deep blue eyes just to reassure him.

''What are you doing here Hibiki, looking for a gift for your girlfriend?'' I winked at him.

''Uh... Y-Yeah..'' He said nervously. ''Do you need any assistance?'' I asked and grabbed his hand and walked towards the pantie isle.

''Whats she like, beautiful, I'd asume'' I cant believe he has a girlfriend! I thought '' Of course, like I'd settle for anyone less'' He smirked at me.

''Well, we shall have to find something sexy for her, valentines day is drawing near''.

''So, what colour looks best on your girl?'' I asked and winked at him. Why am I jealous?! What am i doing?

''I guess I should tell you the truth Hitomu, I don't have a girlfriend I only came here to see you. I had heard from someone that you were working here.''

I, I was speechless, he was telling me exactly what I had wanted to hear, was I imagining this? Before I had enough time to think I began to blurt out words that were ever so true. 

''I haven't stopped thinking about you since I met you Hibiki, I really, really wished that I'd see you again''. 

''Well, I'm here, what do you wish to do with me?'' He said shifting his eyes to the floor and twiddling his thumbs.

''Hibiki, your adorable'' I said pulling him closer to me and letting our lips gently touch for only a moment. I could feel my heart beating faster, I pulled away.

''Hey, its my lunch break in about an hour, meet me at the park across the road'' I urged to see him. He smiled and turned away from me, walking away, I felt the distance between us growing.

I saunter around, waiting for this time to pass by.


I am walking across the road, with my black umbrella in one hand, my other hand warm placed in the pocket of my jacket.
I saw Hibiki seated on the park bench with his umbrella held above his head, shielding the rain from hitting his golden blond hair. He looked cold even though he was wearing a rather large grey jumper. I took my rightful seat next to Hibiki in the rain and he just looked at me and what it seemed like, he was staring into my soul, with those deep blue eyes.
They conveyed such an emotion even the heart couldn't hope to explain, they were somewhat heart warming. He put his hand in mine, It was no longer lonesome.
''Hitomu, I couldn't wish for anything more right now'' he whisperd a cold breath on my neck. This is the same guy that stated he had no interest in guys, I guess I changed that.
I turned to him and smiled. ''Would you like to take a walk?'' I asked. I got up and offered him my hand, he took it and we began to pace our way through this crowded city.
We are both walking underneath my umbrella, I'm much taller than Hibiki I've just realised, he looks about 5.8'' and me standing at 6.1'' towered over him.
''So, Hibiki. Where do you live?'' I asked in hope of springing a conversation. ''Oh, I never told you did I. Well, I live in the same apartment building as you, at the end of the 4th floor''
''Oh really? Well, we should hang out more often then. My apartment, tonight for dinner?'' I asked, I never knew Hibiki lived so close to me, I've never seen him, or never noticed him at least.
He nodded in delighted as we still strolled these raining streets.

He walked me back to work and I got off at about 4, I went shopping for dinner, I suddenly realised that I had no idea what he liked.
Spaghetti? That's simple, easy enough for my dreadful cooking skills. I walked home carrying my groceries, yes, it was raining and I had my umbrella.
It was only about a 10 minute walk from work to home. Dawdling the streets I begin to notice all these people I have never seen before, they are all so different, so unique.
I stumble into my apartment and put the groceries on the bench. Wow, this place is a mess, I'm way to lazy to clean everything up! Man, I don't want Hibiki thinking I'm some type of slob.
I start picking up all the rubbish and putting it in the bin, whipping down benches and making my bed and what not.
''Clean enough'' I said to myself. I went and had a shower and did my hair. I lie on the couch, half naked, resting my eyes, a knock on the door awoke me from my light slumber.
''Hitomu are you there?'' I heard Hibiki's soften voice say. ''Coming!'' I screamed as i pulled my pants on and threw a on a shirt.

I opened the door for him and he smiled at me, I caught myself smiling back, happy to see him I guess.   ''What’s for dinner?'' Hibiki asked

''Spaghetti'' I smiled at him, hoping he would like my choice. 

''Romantic'' He laughed as we headed to the kitchen. He was dressed in black skinny jeans and casual white shirt, he is such a teenager, but than again, I’m wearing practically the same. He sat on the kitchen bench and looked at me innocently.

''Hibiki, you’re adorable'' I remarked. He blushed and covered his face with his hands. I walked over to him and pulled his hands away from his face and kissed him passionately.

''Cook me dinner'' He whispered cheekishly. I nodded and put the water on and waited for it to boil. ''Wine?'' I asked and grabbed two wine glasses from the cupboard & opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into the glasses. I passed one to Hibiki and he took a sip of it, he kicked my bottom as I walked away from him and he laughed shamelessly.

''So Hitomu, are you going to give me a tour of this place or what?'' Hibiki asked.

''Yours is probably exactly the same!'' He hoped down off the bench and I took his hand and led him towards the bathroom.

''So you shower and undress in here Hitomu?'' He asked and giggled at his own silliness.

''Why yes Hibiki, I shower naked like every other person''. I said with a tone of sarcasm in my voice. I led him out of my bathroom and into my bedroom.

''So this is where the magic happens, huh?'' I winked at him and threw him on my bed. I leant over him and whispered ''Yes Hibiki, this is where the magic happens''.  Our faces were inches away but I resisted my urge to kiss him. I wanted him to crave me, I wanted him to quiver even just thinking about my touch. I got up off the bed.

''You’re so cruel'' Hibiki said crossing his arms like a stubborn child. I laughed at him and grabbed his hand and pulled him off the bed. Our bodies were close and he kissed my neck. I was craving him, I quivered at his touch. He winked at me and skipped out of the room and into the kitchen. I followed and pulled a pan out of the cupboard and sprayed it with oil, I put the mince into the pan and broke it with my spatula. The meat simmered in the pan as I watched as the bits of pink become brown. I opened and tin of tomato’s and added the sauce. Hibiki's stomach growled as he sipped at his wine.
