Chapter 7 - Unexpected

I am absent from class today, I still have a fever, but it's not too serious. I need to rest now. After what happened last night, Mr. Mizuki left as early as five in the morning, and without saying anything to me, he just said goodbye and left.

Gin texted me if I felt okay and told me that he was going to my house after his class.

Moments passed when I received a text from Gin that his class was over, and he was soon on the way to my house. Later on, When I was in the living room. Someone is knocking at my door, and I knew that it was Gin. I'm excited to see Gin because I have a lot to tell him, " Gin!! " - I yelled his name as I opened the door. But I'm astounded that Mr. Mizuki was in front of my door. " Hello Akira, I'm Mizuki Inei, remember? I'm not Gin." - he teased me again and laughed at me.

He never told me that he is willing to revisit me, and I thought last night was the last time the two of us met. So it's kind of awkward for me because of what happened last night; he kissed me on the lips without my permission.

"Erm. Why are you here?" I asked

"I would like to see you if you are okay if your fever goes down. I bought you some fruits, by the way; who is Gin?" He asked me and traced on his face that he was curious. What is the relationship between Gin and me?. " Oh, Gin is my childhood friend and my best friend."

" So, Gin is a guy. Ahm. Okay. I'm thirsty. Can I have a glass of water?."

" Kay! Come inside and take a seat first." as he entered, he seemed delighted.

" Here's your water, have a drink and leave after."

"You're so exaggerated. You're sending me away as soon as I arrive. Just rest me first. I'm not kind of busy today."

Inside my head, I am so anxious; any time today, Gin will come here. What If he saw Mr. Mizuki with me inside my house, just the two of us. What will he think we are doing?

"Akira, You seem to be thinking deeply, huh?" He whispered in my ears, His soft manly voice lingering my nerve, so I got chills from my head to toe.

"HEY!! What are you doing besides me and murmuring something? Don't ever do that again! You better go back to your seat!"- I'm pissed off.

"Okay, Sorry. I will never do that again." As Mr. Mizuki goes back to his seat, I notice something strange in his eyes. He seems to be planning something.

As time goes by, I'm waiting for Gin to arrive, then someone knocks at my door. I opened the door, and it was Gin.

"Why did you just come today? What happened?." I told him with a worried voice. "I'm sorry, I passed by the bakery. Tada! I bought your favorite vanilla cake."

"Wow! Thank you, Gin! you know how to make me happy."

"Let's eat the cake inside, but wait, Akira?" I hurried to walk inside the house, and I did not realize that Mr. Mizuki was still there. I hesitated to tell Gin about that. "Erm. Gin, I have a visitor." I told him while stuttering.

"Hello, Good Afternoon. I am Inei Mizuki. So You are Gin, Akira's Best friend. Erm, and you are one of the students attending Ibaraki Senior High School." -Mr. Mizuki began to speak and greeted Gin.

"Oh! Yes, I am Gin Hiroshi from Ibaraki Senior High School. May I ask you why you are here? How did you know about Akira? Gin asked him with astonishment in his voice.

What will I do in this situation? After a few minutes, I decided to interrupt their conversation.

"Hey, you two, let's have a seat first, and let's talk about it, okay?" I calmly smiled but then, "Akira; I will leave first; I have an urgent meeting today at school. " - Mr. Mizuki said, and He suddenly stood up and walked away. "Goodbye, Akira, and see you tomorrow Gin at school. I'll go ahead now." He added.

He left, and Gin and I were left alone. Pretty awkward. I don't know how to start a conversation with him. "Ahm. Gin?" I whisper. "Hey Akira, Let's eat this cake; it's your favorite, right? He said and smiled at me " Sure, wait here. I will prepare the plate first and eat this yummy cake." So we ate together, and it seems that nothing happened.

What's on Gin's mind? I want to know. I badly need to know.
