Chapter 37

The next day Nioh knocked on the door of Fuji's room. It was still early. Kaidoh was working on breakfast and none of the others had left their room yet. Fuji had gotten out of his bed to open the door. When he saw Nioh he wanted to slam it shut again, but the gray-haired man put his foot between it and stopped Fuji from locking him outside.

'What do you want this early?' groaned Fuji as he walked back to his bed, fell down on it and pulled the blankets over his body.

'I just wanted to ask you something,' said Nioh as he sat down on the bed, making sure he wouldn't sit down on Fuji's legs.

'Why can't it wait?'

'I couldn't sleep anymore. I just had to ask you.'

Fuji sat up and sighed while rubbing the sleep from his eyes. 'Alright, what is it?'

'Well,' started Nioh, 'are you really in a relationship with Tezuka? I mean, I'm sure he is a good man and he won't betray you like your ex-boyfriend did, but, are you sure he can make you happy?'

'Nioh, I wasn't in a relationship with Tezuka yesterday. We just acted, so you and the others would stop pestering me about it. Tezuka told me we could just act like we were a couple, so all the teasing would stop. It sounded like a good idea to me, until you asked me to kiss him. I didn't think he would do it, I was as surprised as you when he did so. But it worked. You all stopped talking about it.'

'What do you mean, no relationship yesterday?' asked Nioh. 'Are you telling me you weren't in a relationship with Tezuka until yesterday?'

'I stayed behind last night,' confessed Fuji. 'I stayed behind to talk to Tezuka about what happened and I apologized for the fact that he had to kiss me. He isn't a man who goes around kissing random people. I thought he must feel bad about it, but instead he said it was fine and that he didn't really mind it. I asked him why and he said he didn't mind kissing people he liked. I was rather surprised by his words, but we talked a little and decided to try going out.'

It was hard for Fuji to tell the truth to Nioh. It was hard for himself to believe the fact he was dating the stoic bartender. Telling it to Nioh was even more difficult.

'I see,' answered the gray-haired man.

'You really like me, don't you?' asked Fuji.

'I do,' answered Nioh. 'I really do. Maybe I should have gotten serious a little sooner. Maybe we could have been together. I can't help I wish it could have been like that.'

'I'm sorry,' said Fuji. 'I don't know if it would have worked out between us, Nioh. I don't know if things will work out between me and Tezuka either. I'm really sorry Nioh, but I want to keep being friends with you. Do you think we can?'

Nioh smirked. 'Of course we can. I don't want to lose such a great friend like you. One I can wake up at nine in the morning to talk to.'

They laughed together. While they were talking about how their life would be if they would be a couple and how others would be tortured, Fuji got himself dressed. Laughing they went to the dining room to have breakfast.
