8 - Questions

In the late afternoon, Ichinose went into the kitchen and prepared a light snack for Asami. He made a smoked turkey ham sandwich, fruit punch and some chips. Ichinose got the food tray and put the snack there and he left the kitchen to go to master Asami.

Asami sat in the chair looking up at the ceiling and closed his eyes, hearing him coming from the kitchen with a tray of snacks and pretending he did not notice Ichinose walking towards him. Ichinose lowered the tray he was carrying and laid out the food one by one so that Asami could easily get what he wanted to eat. Ichinose noticed that Asami did not seem to be feeling well and he said...

"I don't think you're feeling good, can you eat something light, and I'll bring you Tylenol if you have a headache."

"I don't have a headache." Asami replied to him. "It's just that I'm not in the mood right now. Besides, something similar happened to me years ago and I don't want to talk about it too." Asami added that, so Ichinose would not bother to ask about him.

Ichinose looked at him with an understandable antsy that his master Asami was like that and had such a mournful expression because he was sad about his mother's death memorial. Even though he wants to comfort Asami, but he can't, first he is not a girl, not his boyfriend to be exact and not even a best friend, so he can't give him a hug. Then he decided not to speak and left him there for a moment.

Asami feels guilty for replying to Ichinose like that because he knows it only concerned him but he can't hide the sadness and the anger because he remembers his dear mother. He took Ichinose's hand when he was about to leave at the same time, he spoke ....

"Stay here next to me and I want you to be with me...." Asami pulled down Ichinose next to him and he suddenly put his head on his shoulder.

He was stunned and couldn't speak as Asami pulled down his hand and abruptly sat down next to him. He is already palpitating because he can not explain the joy as they are both sitting together, not to mention Asami put his head on his shoulder.

"Oh my god! Let me enjoy this moment with him. Gee, my heart is jumping out of me." he said to himself, "Please stop jumping! Stop my heart and relax!" he added the feeling of warm fuzzies that he felt overjoyed.

Asami put his head on Ichinose's shoulder and then closed his eyes because he was so tired. He knew that Ichinose would get restless because he was leaning on his shoulder and he felt Ichinose was nervous. Then smiled at that feeling and he found out that Ichinose was uneasy, so he acted a little bit childish.

Asami lay down completely on his lap and said… "Can you lend me your lap? I'll take a nap for a moment because my neck hurts." he looked at Ichinose while waiting for his answer.

"A-ah, U-umm, O-okay.... B-but I still have something to do. I will wake you up later." he turned red and started stammering when he replied to Asami.

He could not straighten himself up from sitting and hesitated to disturb Asami who was lying on his lap. So, he just touched Asami's hair and gently stroked it while peeking his left eyes down to his master who was lying there.

"I think it feels good if someone touches my hair while making me sleep?" Asami spoke suddenly while looking into Ichinose's bright red face.

Ichinose's cheeks looked more flustered up to ear when master Asami suddenly said to him and couldn't get anything at once so Asami followed with a loud laugh ...

"Hahaha! I'm sorry, I'm sorry." and he couldn't bear not to laugh out loud seeing Ichinose's face suddenly panicking of what to do or say.

He was totally unguarded and agitated because of what Asami did to behave like a child. He got a little bit annoyed because didn't know how to get out of that situation. So he buried Asami's head on his lap with a throw pillow and spoke ...

"Don't behave like a child and take a nap if you are tired, geez." And he stood up because he felt like he was being laughed at. So he pulled one throw pillow out from the right side and he put it into Asami's head and said ...

"If you still want to joke I can call others and I have got a lot of things to do so you can be alone here!" At the same time Ichinose walked through the kitchen and started to arrange the flowers for Asami's mother.

Asami couldn't help but be happy because he played a joked with him and he saw Ichinose's face get annoyed by it. He just scratched his neck, stood up and didn't think that he would be angry at him, so he thought of a different way of flirting honestly to him this time.

"I really don't know what to do when I'm with him. I can't even explain this but it makes me feel so good and nice." Asami said to himself.

"Should I try to move on from him? He isn't showing any sign of rejection but instead I think he is too cute to be teased." While twiddling his thumb, "God damn it! Why am I like this? Am I a coward when I am with him?" Asami said to himself.

Asami thought deeply because it felt like his chest was tightening when he tried to speak up to Ichinose about the guys who were hugging him the other day.

"Naah, I don't think I'm in-love with him, but I know I like him. And the last girlfriend I had is unlike him. Sure he is tender, you can see it in him that he is always concerned about me and I just want to hug him tightly because I can feel it feels good to be with him." Asami added to himself while thinking these thoughts.

"What kind of feeling do I have for him? Is it because he is kind to me? Still, I can't drop the pin to point out what it is." Asami added.

"Is there something that I am not capable of…? Having good looks, I have a good physical condition too, but know that I look at him differently and that I know I want him." As he kept thinking more and more.

On the other hand, Ichinose is in the kitchen arranging the flowers to take to master Asami's mother's room. He was confused by what Asami did and didn't want to think or interpret them in different ways but Ichinose himself couldn't explain the exhilaration he felt. A pleasurable intense feeling he felt though he could not explain why Asami is like that.

He neatly arranged the bouquet of flowers in the large container that almost covered his whole face. So he walks slowly and carefully so as not to fall or break what he is holding. The jar was almost 4 ft. high and it weighed like 10 lbs. with adding filling inside and a bit of water for the flower's nutrients it can be 18 lbs. more or less.

When Asami's pondering, he suddenly stood up on his seat and called Paige to get ibuprofen because of the slight ache on his neck.

"Please get me a couple of ibuprofens." Asami said to his maids.

"Yes, sir." Paige immediately answered and she hurried to get the medicine for her master Asami.

While Ichinose was cautiously walking up the stairs when he heard stomping feet towards him. He wonders who it is and never bother to even look at who is coming or what is that. But he stopped moving as he did not want to be hit or get hit by anyone since he was carrying a large container.

"Stomp...stomp...stomp…" Paige looks like someone was chasing her and she ignores whoever is in front of her.

Suddenly someone is calling out her name and says… "Paige! Paige! Paige watched out!" One of the maids saw that she was rushing on the second floor.

So she stopped but a loud noise echoed inside the villa and Maya screamed with her loud voice.... "KyaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
