An acquaintance?

The following week, work continued with the usual ups and downs of a local problem, but now both brothers were aware of the new Faculty of Yuui. If used properly, could be a way to attract customers, but the young man did not want to know: it was not a gift granted to make money, come from anywhere.
During those days, Shaoron turned up a couple of times, always closing time and, much to the joy of Yuui, welcoming coffee or sweet offering him from time to time. Fay, now determined to help as much as possible the love life of her brother, at that exact moment he disappeared, he invented the most absurd excuses, from the tap running upstairs to feed a dog that did not have. Shaoron laughed for a moment, then focused his attention entirely the other brother, and they were very sweet and insinuating attentions. Yuui I was awed and attracted at the same time, always managing to yield to his advances disingenuous. The feeling that he was born he was taking root in deeper and almost feared for the unexpected happiness.
In sharp contrast to this, Kurogane had not done more to see. Earlier this week he sent his assistant, a taciturn young man named Shizuka Doumeki, collect orders, causing irritation of Watanuki, his old acquaintance, and the discomfort of Fay.
Yuui wanted to comfort her brother, reassure him that surely Kurogane would have showed up on Thursday for deliveries, but the uproar caused by the assistant had made it impossible to have a minimum of privacy.
Unfortunately, his prediction proved wrong, and even on Thursday Kurogane went to the restaurant. Doumeki When finished downloading the crates of fruit and vegetables, Yuui eagerly offered a cup of coffee with a slice of chocolate cake and raspberries specially prepared that morning, and sat down in front of him.
"If you have to ask something, go ahead. "Said the boy, more intuitive than it might seem.
Yuui hesitated for a moment, then finally gave voice to his doubts.
"Kurogane-san is ... uh ... well? "
Doumeki chewed in silence for a moment, then turned back to the owner of the premises.
"It is not ill, if that's what you mean. "He said. "But we can not say that's okay. It is as if he had lost his enthusiasm. "
Yuui nodded, sad, just like Fay. The two complemented each other and had lost just when they were found, for a stupid mistake. They could not continue.
"Doumeki-kun, listen, I have a favor to ask. "He said as an idea a bit 'mind flashed the sock. "If you help me, I will give a free afternoon to Watanuki-kun and you'll have at your disposal throughout the day. "
Yuui was naive in regard to their own matters of the heart, but you could not deny it was a good observer. Indeed Doumeki grinned and nodded.

Fay parked the van in front of the green fruit and vegetable shop, wondering for the umpteenth time how he could let persuaded to go there. The explanation for Yuui was quite confused that he could not understand was that he felt good Doumeki, Watanuki if he was working and he, Fay, reaching to return the delivery truck Yuui because he could not in any way leave the restaurant.
dithering for several minutes with nervous fingers tapping on the steering wheel, eyes fixed on the entry of the store. He was wondering if he should throw the keys outside the door and beat it, when Kurogane himself came out of great career with one of its worst storms expressions.
"Doumeki! You can find out what are you doing?! 'He thundered. "Are you asleep at the wheel?! "
Fay leaned shyly over the door.
"Um ... are not Doumeki-kun, I'm sorry. "He said. "There was a problem ... and here I am. "
Kurogane glanced at him obliquely to conceal his surprise.
"You. "Grumbled while his expression, if possible, darkened even more.
The smile vanished and forced Fay merely nodded. As seemed moments away laughing and teasing Kurogane what seemed impossible now that kiss exchanged only a week before! Probably in a few moments, he hunted with the Kurogane disgusted expression. Perhaps he would have done better to leave on his own initiative before such a gesture is striking him again.
"So? Are you going to stay to stare at your shoes all day? "Kurogane said, snatching it from his depressing ruminations.
Fay looked up, startled.
"No! I mean, I ... "stuttered confused.
The greengrocer removed his hand the keys to the van and opened the door of the shop.
"For some mysterious reason, my employee does not seem willing to return, so I'll need someone to give me a hand. "He said, maintaining the usual gruff voice, but the ears of Fay sounded like music. While
crossed the threshold, still with his head down and prey to unwarranted feelings of guilt, he wondered if he really no longer exists for them no chance, or if what he had before were nothing more than an opportunity waiting.
"Kuro-pon, look, I ..." he began hesitant.
"The tomatoes must be moved, so the bottom are not quite in sight. "Kurogane interrupted. "Make yourself useful and put the boxes next to the counter. "
Fay, still a little 'crowded out by the situation and from that order, he hastened to obey.
For much of the afternoon, Kurogane making it exhausting to move crates and boxes, preventing him from engaging in any speech. Despite this Fay never failed to put a smile and a kind word to every customer who entered. Even a girl who knew how curly it was at a restaurant with Tomoyo-chan, Kurogane praised for choosing a new server so funny and cute.
"It is not my assistant, Himawari. "Grumbled the person concerned with air after all embarrassed. 'Crazy if you worked here. "
" Oh, then it's her boyfriend? Asked the girl, Julia. "You're so good together! "At these words
blushed Kurogane and Fay reluctantly prepared to watch a scene. Better than taking preventive action before that big and grumpy tear cagnolone the poor girl.
"Oh, no! He exclaimed, his smile on his face professional. "I'm just here by chance happened to a friend to lend a hand. Thanks for the compliments, though! "Himawari
went with the air of one who had understood that there was something underneath and Fay, to avoid the searching look of its main interim, he threw himself headlong on a basket of salad.
"So you would be only an acquaintance. "Kurogane said after a long silence, which had the effect of seeing the innocent heads reduced to shreds.
Not being able to rage on vegetables, under the gaze of man accuser, Fay wrung her hands.
"I suppose it's whatever you want people to think. "He said with a smile, but taking his eyes lowered.
"I do not care a damn what people think ! "
Fay gave a nervous giggle.
"Do not be antisocial, Kuro-wan! "
" And you will not be an idiot. There is nothing to laugh about this. "Fay
grossed reproach and fell silent. In fact, assuming frivolous attitude, might have seemed that he did not care. It would have been better? If Kurogane had come to hate even more, he might have suffered less. It was enough that he was just sick.
"I've never felt so angry in my life! "Kurogane snapped suddenly, striking his fist on the counter that made him wince and withdraw instinctively. Fay
stared at him in silence, unable to refute anything: it was obvious that Kurogane was furious, he had no excuse for the situation in which he had been caught, he had caused with his own hands and which had also been saved.
"I've never felt so much anger because of my disability. "The man continued to look away. "When I saw that guy's hands on you, I completely lost my head. After the initial anger, I started thinking all sorts of nonsense, only to conclude that you needed someone nearby who could protect you, which I'm still not able to do. "
Fay walked a few steps, raising a hand to touch her, even fist on the counter.
"not your fault. All that happened was because of my weight. "He murmured.
"Your brother has been able to console you and be near you, while I took the anger and jealousy, I knew only mistreated. I could not bear that anyone would dare touch you, and instead of thinking about how you had to feel, I just want to punch that guy. "
Fay's smile tinged with tenderness as he opened his hand to Kurogane and wove her fingers with his. All I had thought and assumed until then had not been more than a castle in the air and was never happier to be wrong.
'And I thought I hated ... "he continued stroking the index with their hands joined. "I consider myself someone who has been with us all. "
" If this was a consensual act, I am a tap dancer. "Kurogane growled.
"You'd well with the shoes, Kuro-myu! "Fay said, bursting into a laugh raised.
laugh that was brutally interrupted when Kurogane shut on his fingers and drew her to him;
"I told you to stop with the nonsense. "Breathed on his lips a moment before you kiss. Fay left
completely in his arms. They had many things to talk about, questions to clarify questions about their relationship and everything that was happening, but there would be time for another time Porsel. Now there was only them and the rediscovery of a feeling that had never faded.
estranged from its lips, Kurogane took a breath and reluctantly broke the embrace.
"I should just go and see what terrible evil has blocked Doumeki. "He said. "I could, I dunno, take advantage of it taken back to the restaurant. "
Fay nodded with a sunny smile. Everything was in place, now there would be no more pain and unrequited love, all problems would be ironed out.
He could not suspect what awaits them until they crossed the threshold and did not hear a crash of breaking glass coming from the kitchen of the "Tower of Delights."
