That's his ex?!

For breakfast, Shimizu and Hirahi ate some leftover rolled omelet. After that, both of them went to work.

"It's been a while since we left together for work, you usually leave before me, Shimizu."

"Yes, I think I will be coming to work with you from now on, this way I can brief you on the day's schedule." And as Shimizu was doing so, they approached Hirahi's office.

"President, you're coming in later today than usual, I thought you'd arrive sooner, so I let yesterday's guest already in your office, please excuse me."

"You are referring to Mr. Todorokiyo?"

"Yes, he insisted on being let in immediately upon his arrival."

"It's alright thank you."

Shimizu was bewildered at how calmly Hirahi was reacting to the situation. He has never acted that way towards a client, and neither did the clients dare to act like this.

"Couldn't he have waited for you to arrive? Surely she could have not let him in."

Hirahi smiled at Shimizu.

"Hah. I'm sure she couldn't let him in, I have known him for a while, so I understand how he might have been behaving, I can bet he even told her he'd withdraw out of the contract if she didn't let him in. He just did that to pester me." Hirahi patted Shimizu's head. "Don't concern yourself with it." Blood rushed to Shimizu's face but he quickly snapped out of it because he received a call. Shimizu quickly ran to the elevator dragging Hirahi with it.

"What was it?"

"It was Kometa Aoi. He said he needed to drop off some documents but when he tried to go into your office he heard a ruckus in there and once he opened the door he saw a man…" Shimizu couldn't finish as soon as the elevator arrived, Hirahi stormed.

I have never seen him so pissed before. Thought Shimizu was running after him.

Approaching his office Hirahi heard loud music coming from there, he almost broke the door kicking it open. Shimizu soon came after and saw a man on top of Hirahi's desk dancing and singing with his shirt unbuttoned and flailing a tie in his hand, Shimizu started at the tie for a moment. Wasn't that Hirahi's tie from yesterday?

"What the hell are you doing Chiaki, quickly turn off the damn music or you'll piss me off."

Was that Todorokiyo Chiaki? I didn't expect him to look like this. He is about my height, and he had an actually pretty face.

Chiaki got down and turned off the music. Then he approached Hirahi.

"Look how hard I've been trying since yesterday, doesn't this remind you of the first time we met. What do you think, Takase?" said Chiaki. He removed Hirahi's tie and put on the one he was holding. "The one from yesterday suits you better since it's the one I bought for you." Haruhi just stood there listening to the man. "You left it here yesterday after running away pretty fast. But that doesn't matter, what I do want to know on the other hand is if you thought about my proposal?"

Shimizu was watching the whole situation unfold. He has never seen Haruhi this forgiving for the way Chiaki was acting and he has never seen anyone address Haruhi by his name, not even Kuro has and they have known each other for almost a decade. He decided to step in but as soon as he was about to open his mouth, Chiaki beat him , glaring at him.

"Or have you found someone else already?" Chiaki smirked. He came up to Shimizu, looked him up and down. And looking back at Hirahi commented. "He's not even cute." Chiaki pouted. Then ran back to Hirahi and whispered loud enough for Shimizu to hear. "Is it the sex?"

Hirahi finally spoke.

"Could you shut up and just sign the contract." he pushed Chiaki away and sat on his desk. "Shimizu bring me Kometa's paperwork." Shimizu just nodded and left.

"He's so bland, Hirahi what could you see in a guy like that." He came closer, pushed Hirahi's chair back, and sat on his lap. "I know what you want." He licked his lips, getting closer to Hirahi but Chiaki got pushed away.

"Don't you dare do that again!" Hirahi's eyebrows furrowed.

"It was a one-time thing Takase please…" At that moment Shimizu walked into it, after him a delivery man. "Right on time, since I knew this wouldn't work I decided to bribe you." Chiaki jumped up and snatched the package out of the poor man's hands. Shimizu decided to ignore the pesky client and as he was leaving he overheard Chiaki say. "It's your favorite tea!"

"I don't like this tea." Hirahi declared. Shimizu glanced back and noticed Hirahi's ears perked up, he smiled a little knowing the little quirk Hirahi wasn't aware of. But Chiaki's next words stopped him in his tracks.

"I know you like it silly, your ears perked up!" he clung back to Hirahi. "Hey, secretary!" Chiaki addressed Shimizu. He turned back. Chiaki threw the tea at Shimizu and a sharp edge of the box hit him on his forehead. "Boil this up for us."

Hirahi immediately threw Chiaki to the door.

"Get the fuck out." Chiaki was stunned he couldn't move. "Now! Before I throw you outside myself!"

Chiaki pouted his lips and unwillingly left glaring at Shimizu.

Hirahi closed the doors and ran to Shimizu.

"Are you alright?" He noticed that there was blood coming out of the wound. Hirahi got a first aid kit and started disinfecting the wound. While all this was happening Shimizu was in a daze. There was only 1 thing he thought about.

"...ears…" Shimizu muttered.

"What did you say?" Hirahi asked, clasping Shimizu's face in his hands.

"How does he know about your ears?" Shimizu started crying. Why does it hurt so much? I didn't even feel the box hit me, but why does that guy know about Takano's quirk?

Hirahi became flustered, he couldn't understand what the little guy meant. "What ears? What do you mean?" Hirahi began to gently wipe off Shimizu's tears.

"How does that guy know about your ears perking up when you like something?!" Shimizu yelled out. He couldn't stop crying. Tears flooded down, his face was drenched even though Hirahi was wiping it off with his handkerchief.

What does he mean my ears perk up? Does it really happen?

Shimizu was glaring at the poor man who was trying to help him. The day has just started but it truly became extremely messy.

"Shimizu, calm down, please stop crying. I have no idea what you mean about my ears…"

"You're an idiot Hirahi!"

Hirahi took Shimizu into his arms and carried him to the couch. "You're acting like a child, Shimizu, snap out of it."

"Just tell me your relationship with Chiaki!"

"HE'S MY EX-LOVER! YOU'RE HAPPY NOW!"

Shimizu stopped. "What…?"

Hirahi took out a cigarette. Shimizu had never seen him smoking so this new look was unexpected. "And right when I was about to quit…" Hirahi muttered. "I hate brats."
