Your name?.

...You've got a thing for showing up when I don't even know you're there!" My heart rate returns to normal, I exclaim. "Dickhead, just grab a fu*king bag."...

..."I prefer Togi than dickhead, but whatever..." He mutters as he tears a garbage bag from the pile and begins collecting cans. "Hey, thanks for the bed last night. That was so random, I can't remember anything."...

..."I'd say you're welcome, but I never offered you anything. So please accept my gratitude. Thank you for robbing me of my bed. And you didn't even make it before you ran out of gas." I complain, and my forced scowl is met with a chuckle - a chuckle with enough warmth to melt the icebergs....

..."I'm sorry, I had to go to church."...

...Why does everyone have to go to a phony church nowadays? Where is my invitation to the phony church? "So, what's your name again? I must have forgotten about it?"...

..."It's Christian." As I tie another bag, I respond. He extends his hand for a handshake, his firm grip remaining a little too long as his thumb slowly traces back and forth....

..."It's a pleasure to meet you, Christian." The front door opens, and he quickly retracts his hand, revealing my ecstatic older brother, proudly holding his three large trash bags....

..."What are you doing here, bro?" My brother yells, dropping his garbage bags and spilling them on the ground. He pushes me out of the way and fist pumps Togi's hand....

..."How could I not be here?" His uncomplicated grin remains on his face. My gaze falls down his face, strong dimples just above his smile - oh God, his smile, it shines into the world, drowning his surroundings in a natural swagger. He looks at me, stealing my attention; locked, he's not difficult to keep looking at....

...First and foremost, you never assist me in cleaning up. As if ever. And now you're here, assisting my dweeb brother?" I blush a little. I'm not a m*ron. "Andddd you were desperate to see your girlfriend Thea?" My brother responds jokingly. When I hear girlfriend, my smile fades and the tone shifts, imploding the dazed atmosphere between us. Togi looks at me, but I avoid his gaze, my eyes hidden. Of course he has a girlfriend; he's stunning. I'm sure she's lovely, as well. She is a lovely lady. Do you know how much I adore beautiful women? I adore attractive women! So why should I care?...

..."Yes, she would not stop calling....

...I awoke to 100 missed calls, bro..." He responds, sending my brother into a fit of laughter, his gaze returning to me....

...'Well, then, the s*x must have been fantastic when you met up with her, aye? Nothing compares to the insane ones. My brother winks at him and nudges him with his elbow. He agrees with a laugh and looks at me, but no words come out of his mouth. I take off my gloves and toss them into Megumi's garbage can, then rush back into the house, the door slamming behind me....
