Akihiko Usami & Misaki Takahashi
-:-
'Dear Nii-san and Nee-san in Osaka, today is an important day for me'
Misaki Takahashi stared solemnly at the man who was ten years older than him, waiting patiently—or rather, with that look on his face, he was ready to explode any time now.
'You see Nii-san, …I have made an important decision. It's regarding my growth …and it's not happening at all…'
"So… what do you think Usagi-san?" his voice trailed, anxiety was stinging in his tone. His throbbing emerald gaze was still fixated on the man. His chest felt tight in nervousness. He fidgeted uncomfortably on his feet.
'Someone told me a disturbing theory why I couldn't grow at all and the blame is placed on a certain someone…'
For the first time in his life, Akihiko Usami, the currently super-popular novelist who graduated first place in Teito University Law School, was lost of words. His jaw was slightly dropped and his mind wiped blank. There was a piece of paper in his hand, though clumsily written and has a few signatures at the bottom of it. What made him in dumbstruck was the paper's a contract.
It was too absurd for his erudite brain to comprehend. He couldn't believe what he was reading. It was illogical, not forget to mention, hilarious and plain stupid. He wanted to laugh but he couldn't because his lover was serious.
He closed his eyes as he let out an exasperated sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Oh boy," he whimpered, removing his glasses and placed it neatly on the table.
"U-Usagi-san?" stammered Misaki as guilt washed over him. It seemed that he had caused trouble for the novelist, but the matter's important to him. He comforted his guilt by reassuring himself that Usagi-san told him that he's allowed to be selfish whenever he's with him. He slammed a fist on the table, "This is my final decision, Usagi-san," He nodded sharply.
Usagi turned to look at him, placing the glasses back on and examined the contract again.
"I think that…" began Usagi, his tone was serious as he looked keenly at the paper. Misaki stared at him, hopeful. "…your handwriting is horrible," Misaki shot him a death glare, scoffed at his remark.
"USAGI-SAN!! So what if my handwriting is horrible..." he defended, stomping on his feet and blushed in embarrassment. "Anyway, that's not the point here!" He waved his hand, "Don't change the topic, Usagi-san."
Usagi stared at the lad, Misaki's emerald eyes shimmered in determination. His feature was a little pretty for a boy. Long eyelashes arranged neatly on its place giving his eyes a radiant look. His perfect cerise lips thinned in seriousness and his fair skin glowed under the bathe of sunlight that shone through the tall glass window. He examined him from head to toe, and back again to look at him in the eyes.
'Irresistible,' he thought, folding his arms to hold back the temptation to grab him and make him his alone. Then he remembered about the contract again, he slapped his mouth shut to suppress a laugh. He couldn't believe how Misaki could come up with the ridiculous idea that that was the very reason of his growth problem.
"W-W-What's so funny?!" Misaki retorted, blushing deeper. "If you have a problem with this, tell it to me," he added, stammering. Usagi took a glance at the boy. He looked as though he tried to put a tough façade though it failed miserably.
"…cute…" Usagi mumbled, and almost immediately, Misaki shot him a stuttering "say what?!" with an incredulous look at his face.
"Nothing," the man said, shrugging as he cleared his throat. "I think you look fine the way you are right now, Misaki. You'll grow, you don't have to worry," he stated assured, staring back to his laptop again. Unsatisfied, Misaki banged on the table.
"No, it - is - not - okay!" he protested, pointing him a finger in accusation. "Didn't you see that guy from the flower shop? He was… taaaaaallll!" he explained, as he held a hand up high to show how tall the guy was. "I want to be like that too. So… please sign here, sensei!" said Misaki, almost pleaded in his tough façade.
Usagi rasped in annoyance as he stared at the paper.

I, Akihiko Usami, solemly swear that I won't have sex with Takahashi Misaki until he grows at least an inch. If the law were to be broken, Akihiko Usami will have to agree on having a date with Eri Aikawa, have an open bath with his father, Fuyuhiko Usami and let Haruhiko Usami to go out with Misaki Takahashi.
Signed in cooperation,
:3 Aikawa-chan :3
–ps. Bring your laptop during the date, okay? 3
Fuyu-chama XXOO
–father-son moment is the best during bath time :D
Haruxmisaki –umbrella inserted here-
–I only agreed because of Misaki.

Usagi had his lips pursed tight. It felt more like a threat than a contract. His brother Haruhiko annoyed him the most, he figured that it was Haruhiko come up with the idea going out with Misaki to make sure that he'll follow the contract.
'Does having sex cause him not to grow? Doesn't he know that that's his problem?' He knew Misaki could be silly at times, but this was ridiculous. His eyebrow rose as he kept on reading to the bottom bit of the agreement, an extra signature was scribbled there that made him annoyed again.

Plus, Misaki Takahashi will have a sleepover party with Keiichi Sumi.
33 Kei-chii

'How touché,' he mused, rubbing the bottom of his un-itchy lips with his index finger thoughtfully. "What is this?" asked Usagi at once. Misaki went red.
"I too have my own normal student life to lead you know. You don't have to be so selfish," he mumbled shyly, avoiding his gaze. Usagi sighed deeply, covered his face in tension with his hand.
"You must have hated me so much to ask me to do this, Misaki," he muttered dejected. "I thought we were lovers, I thought you loved me too,"
Misaki was alarmed at the tone of his voice. He was surprised that he acted that way. He felt guilty for not realizing that Usagi could be affected by the contract this much. He laid his hands on Usagi's shoulder.
"No, no, no, Usagi-san. I do like you, really. But, I want to be taller, at least by an inch please." Misaki pleaded, but Usagi didn't say anything. "Why don't we cancel out one of the agreement okay?" Misaki suggested.
Again, no reply… Misaki sighed in chagrin.
"Usagi-san…" he whimpered. "What do you want me to do to make you agree to this?" he asked, biting his lips in chagrin. This time, Usagi turned to look at him hopeful.
Misaki was baffled in disgust. Usagi seemed to have something hidden under his sleeves, but he just doesn't know what it was. Oh no, whatever it was, he was planning not to fall for it.
"You do know that you don't grow overnight right? It'd take years or a decade for you to grow. You think a person like me can tolerate that long when he has a cute adorable boy as his lover?" Misaki went red on his statement.
"Wha—?! DON'T CALL A GUY CUTE!" he pouted angrily, staring at Usagi as though he was accused with the worst crime ever, his index finger shook a no-no gesture. Usagi froze in his seat, his act nearly backfired on him. He tried to control his hormones from grabbing the boy and kiss him with all his might. He found it unfair how Misaki has affected him so much even though he knew the boy did it unconsciously. He began to wonder if he really could control himself during the contract period. Knowing Misaki's stubbornness, there would be no way that Usagi could cancel the agreement off. He clenched his jaw, threw his gaze over the contract again.
"You said that I could cancel out one of the list here right?" asked Usagi as he examined the contract for the final time. Misaki was washed with relief. He skipped toward him, leaning on his side.
"Yea," he reassured happily, staring at the paper beside Usagi.
"When is the latest period I get to sign this contract?" Usagi asked in a businesslike manner, his pen in his hand. Misaki bit his lips, thinking critically as he gave his chin a few tap.
"Umm… latest by tomorrow of course, you can think of what you want to cancel off until tomorrow morning." Misaki wasn't aware of a smirk that crept on Usagi's face. Usagi congratulated himself for his first class acting. Misaki was too softhearted to believe that he was that dejected about this matter, though, it did annoy him.
"Okay, then, I'll sign this by tomorrow morning…" Misaki clapped his hands in disbelief.
"Really? Are you serious?" Misaki stared at Usagi as though christmas has just came in by surprised. Usagi nodded, Misaki was overjoyed, almost throwing a hug at him."Ohmygosh, you are so kind Usagi-san! I think I could kiss you!" Misaki froze mid-running toward him, and fall flat on his face in disgust.
'I can't believe I actually said that!!!!' Misaki cursed himself, wishing that he could turn back the time. Usagi took off his glasses and undo his first few buttons.
"Since I have until tomorrow morning to sign this, I better enjoy my last freedom," Misaki startled and turn his head to meet his gaze. He had his head tilt in confusion.
"Huh? What freedo—whoa!" Usagi threw him on his bed, took off his clothes and crept on the surprised Misaki.
"I won't let you sleep tonight Misaki," he chuckled seductively into his ears as he ran his hand under Misaki's shirt, giving him kisses on his nape after that. Misaki jaw dropped in disbelief. He had been had!
