Chapitre 6: The First Dance
After Eita and Tachibana's work finished, masters let them go home. But students had to wait all battles.
Sky got dark already. Students were discussing the results while they were leaving the building. After a while Ando saw someone who was sitting on a bank beyond them. There was a towel on his head but Ando recognized him easily. He said goodbye to his friends and headed there.
Ando was not guessing that he had been waiting for him. He got so happy. "Hello," he said by trying to keep his happiness secret.
Eita figured that his heartbeats were getting higher by hearing that voice. But he pulled his towel, he raised his head and looked at owner of the voice.
"Aren't you going to run away this time?" Ando asked by smiling.
"Who is running away?" Eita said by pouting. Ando smiled again and sat next to Eita.
Eita saw Ando's callused hands while he was sitting. He suddenly held one of Ando's wrists and got closer to see those calluses. Then he realized that he was holding Ando's wrist which Eita could hurt in the battle and released him.
Ando figured what was going on and smiled again. He said that it didn't hurt. Eita apologized for his making him fall. Ando said that it was not Eita's fault. He thanked him for not going easy on him.
Then Ando put his hands on his knees and looked at his calluses. "I can't study kendo every day, afterall. So, I am getting calluses just like you get," he said by looking at Eita's hands. In that moment Eita realized that he got calluses, too.
They sat quietly for a while. Ando lifted his legs and wrapped his arms to his knees. He looked at Eita and "Could you tell me why you were running away from me?" he asked.
Eita peeked Ando and "You're not missing a thing from your eyes," he answered.
That complaining made Ando smiled. Ando who was smiling under a street lamp made Eita's heartbeats higher. Eita took his own hand to his chest as if his chest was in pain. Ando figured out that Eita was doing that unconsciously.
"Is your hand hurt or your heart?" Ando asked by getting closer to Eita. Eita blushed that question. He couldn't guess he was showing his emotions easily or Ando was so smart to understand that.
"If an old man who smokes does sport suddenly, this is how it happens," Ando added. Eita relaxed a bit with that joke. But he was feeling depressed at the same time. He didn't say anything.
Ando found enough messing dose with him. "Fumikaze-sama!" he said. "I said Eita was enough before," Eita answered calmly by not looking at him. Ando didn't care Eita's response and he got up. After he had a stretch, he asked if Eita had a work or not that time. Eita said that he had no work to do.
"Let's go to an interesting place. If you didn't run away from me, I could show you there before," Ando said and showed the road.
That night, they visited a rag fair. They bought a few absurd clothes and disguised as a hospital staff. Then they visited a woman in a hospital. At first Eita couldn't recognize her. Then he figured her out that she was Humaki-san's daughter. He was owner of the restaurant which Eita wanted to do business with.
According to Ando's investigations, the hospital where the woman had been imprisoned was belonged to Akira Group. The daughter of the restaurant owner had been kept in return half of the monthly income of the restaurant. Her treatment was going on yet it was slow. However, Humaki was being threatened that the woman would been killed without evidence.
Two days later, Fumikaze Family members infiltrated to hospital as staff. They kidnapped her and put her in a safe hospital. As Akira Group learnt that, they wanted to raid the restaurant but head of the group took a threatening letter from an unknown person. It was written some corruptions with evidence in that letter. He gave up there. The restaurant had been protected in that process.
A few days later, Eita visited the restaurant as a college student. After he finished his meal, he received a message by phone. When he left the restaurant, he saw a guy with a bicycle. He sat on that bike without talking.
He lit his cigarette and "Who saw a big yakuza boss drives a bike?" he asked. "I rented for you too," Ando answered by smiling. Eita forgot to smoke by surprise.
They drove about a half of an hour and arrived a temple garden at west of the city. Since Eita knew what was waiting for him "Come on! I can't climb those steps!" he said. Still, he climbed the steps with Ando's insistence.
When they finished climbing, they headed to the opposite direction of the temple. Eita waited with patient for an explanation from Ando. After they passed the other side of the garden, a beautiful city view welcomed them.
Ando waited for Eita's resting while he was watching the view. "You should quit smoking, senpai," he said by smiling. Eita stretched out his waist in pain and "Shut up, you are so hyperactive," he answered. That made Ando laugh more.
After a few minutes Eita's tiredness went away. He started to watch the view, too. Then "First the incident in my area, then that restaurant issue..." he muttered. Ando could hear him because of closeness to each other even if Eita muttered. But Eita made his voice clearer and "I don't understand why you are helping me but... Thank you," he said. Ando smiled sweetly without an answer.
"Is there anything I can do in return? Anything for you..." Eita asked. He was so embarrassed that his face turned to red. Ando continued smiling. Then he got closer to Eita slowly and looked at his face. "Will you do it really?" he asked by making a face as if he wondered something.
"Of course!" Eita answered. That time Ando lowered his head slowly. His forehead touched Eita's shoulder. "Do not run away from me and..." Ando said. "And?" Eita asked curiously. "Do not go to your women in your bars," Ando muttered. His voice was showing his embarrassment.
He took his face to Eita's chest without looking at him. Since Ando couldn't be sure how Eita reacted to that movement, he couldn't lift his head. Then Ando felt Eita's racing heartbeats even though he was leaning on right side of his chest.
He put his hand on left side of Eita's chest. Eita's heartbeats were so fast and strong that he knew Ando could sense them easily. When Ando could lift his head, their eyes were matched. Eita couldn't stand to this embarrassment and excitement and he looked at elsewhere.
"This racing is for climbing stairs," he said. But Eita took Ando's touching hand into his hand. His gaze slit to Ando's wrist that he could hurt a few days ago. He brought Ando's wrist closer and kissed front part. At the same time Ando kissed Eita from his check. Then both of them realized what they were doing and got away from each other. They couldn't look at each other for a while. Then they both smiled and looked at the ground.
A few seconds later Ando moved away from Eita by turning around himself like he was dancing. He came the garden fence which was put for the cliff. His arms were still open. He took a deep breath. Then he put his arms down and turned to Eita with a smiling face.
"Have you ever seen me before?" Ando asked. Eita made correct that he did not see Ando in Kobe-san's house for the first time. "I don't remember," he answered hesitantly.
That answer didn't make Ando upset. "You may not remember but I hope you can remember that," he said calmly.
Eita got closer to Ando and "Would you remind me yourself?" he asked. Ando said no. Then "That day was the most important day of my life so I can't tell you that easily," he added. Eita couldn't say something because of his diffidence. He wished he could remember.
Ando hold Eita's hands without giving up his happiness. "Let's come here one more time when you remember that," he said by getting closer. He was smiling so beautifully that Eita couldn't stand that cuteness and gave a kiss to Ando's forehead. There was a confusion inside him how he could kiss a man with a big love.
Eita's head moved away as soon as he kissed but he didn't stop holding Ando's hands. He was afraid of disturbing Ando than being uncomfortable. As soon as he looked at Ando again, Ando gave a little but meaningful kiss to his lips. After he kissed Eita, he felt the same worry like Eita did. When they looked at each other one more time, they realized that they had the same feelings about disturbing.
Both of them smiled and their foreheads touched each other. Since they were closer each other, Eita could sense Ando's smell clearly. With that, he hugged Ando from his waist and began to kiss him intensely. Eita didn't need to worry because Ando was kissing him, too. Ando's arms hugged Eita's neck.
After a few seconds Eita sensed that Ando couldn't breath but he continued what he was doing. Then he stopped kissing and took his lips to Ando's ears. "You wanted this. I tried to run away but you didn't let me. You started that and you can't run away anymore," he said. He smelled and kissed Ando's ears and neck.
When Ando hugged him tighter, Eita decided that it would be dangerous if they continued to kiss each other like that. He gave his last kiss to Ando's forehead and "Let's go home. It's late," he said.
"Sorry, I didn't want to kiss you with a smell after my bike ride," Ando answered. Eita remembered that he sweated after climbing the stairs. He closed his eyes and lift his head to sky.
"Why did you remind me that I sweated, too?" he asked. Both of them laughed. Then both of them said that none of them was smelling badly.
They went down stairs by holding hands. Someone who was jogging at that time saw them and stopped moving by surprise. Then he run faster. Eita and Ando watched his running for a while. After they realized why he was running, "It's better if we are not hooked on badly," they said at the same time.
