Food Wars - Shinomiya

The Secret's Out

"Just one date, Y/N. It's not that difficult. If you don't like me at all, I promise I will not bother you again, but give me one chance, it's all I ask." R/N kept telling you while you were getting ready to leave Shinos.

You stopped on your tracks and looked at him, "R/N, look. You are a really nice guy, I swear, but we are just friends, it's not going to happen. Besides, I told you already, I'm seeing someone." You tried to end the conversation, but he followed you to the kitchen.

Nobody was around anymore, at least for what it looked like. "Who? This mystery boyfriend? You have no pictures of him on your phone, none on social media, he never picks you up. Nobody believes he is real. Why do you keep inventing a boyfriend?"

You weren't imagining a boyfriend, "I understand if you don't believe me, but I swear I have a boyfriend, and I love him very much. So, it's still going to be a no for you."

The guy slowly cornered you to one of the kitchen tables, "One date, just one date and one kiss, and if you don't feel anything, then I'll back up completely."

"What the hell are you doing?" Fuck. "Stay away from her." If looks could kill, that poor guy would be death by now. "Are you harassing a coworker? Because that is what I saw."

The guy backed down faster than you could think, "Sir, I'm sorry. I wasn't, I swear."

Shinomiya raised his hand to stop him, and looked at him deadly, "Leave now. Before I regret my decision of letting you still work here." The guy ran as fast as he could to the door and left you there. You slowly took your things and crossed to the door, but Shinomiya stopped you from the elbow. "Aren't you going to say something?" You only stared, "Y/N, what the hell was that?"

You shrugged his grip, "Something I could've handle by myself. But thanks." He held you again, you loosened up and let him hold you closer. "Did you hear everything?"

He let go of your ponytail and kissed you, "I did." He was kissing you fiercely, "I want to fire him, not only so, but beat him up until I see my own blood."

"Don't be a brute. He didn't do anything to me." He couldn't stop kissing you.

"I don't care, Y/N. How long has this been happening? Why didn't I know? Why are you hiding me? Why am I still a secret?" He was right to be mad. He stopped the kissing, but held you still tighter, as if afraid of letting you go.

"I don't want everyone to think I'm just sleeping with my boss. I told you, Koji. Please, just let me handle it my way." You knew you were pushing this too much.

"As much as I love you, I'm putting my foot down, Y/N." He said, pulling you to the door, "Either you tell everyone that we are together, or I'll do it myself."

You spent the following week, looking everywhere, expecting Kojiro you just ran and tell everyone you were dating, it got you on the nerves. But after a whole week of silence, you lowered your guards. That very Friday, the guy who had been asking you out, tried it again, but this time, in front of everyone. "Just one date, Y/N. Or your imaginary boyfriend will get mad at me?" He admitted teasingly.

Before you could answer, someone pulled you from behind and slammed his lips on yours. "I will be mad, yes. But I'm certainly not imaginary. Do you have any other question about my existence, R/N?"

Everyone gulped, was the Chef supposed to be your boyfriend? You pulled him to his office, really mad. "Why the hell did you do that?"

He crossed his arms, "I told you a week ago, you didn't say anything, so I assumed you wanted me to do so."

"No! I didn't! Are you insane?" You were really mad.

"Yes! I am!" He answered extremely mad, "You think it's nice to watch all of them hug you and flirt with you, when you are my girlfriend? I don't get to hug you, kiss you or treat you like I want to, just because you think it's better to hide? For fuck's sake, Y/N. I am in love with you, I don't want to hide like this!"

You were driving him mad; you knew at that moment. Instead of arguing with him any longer, you hugged him tight. He was surprised at this, but would never reject your embrace, "You are right, Koji. I am really sorry. You deserve better."

He hugged you tighter, "No, there is nothing better than you. And you are what I want. I just, it's difficult enough to be me, I don't want to hide us." He was being honest and open; you could see in his eyes how much he cared about you. He cared a lot.

"You are right, Koji. I am sorry." You got a bit further from him, "But I think it's time then to give you my resignation letter." His face changed to one of pure panic.

"What? No! You have to stay with me! You can't leave me!" He tried to hold you as if he was going to lose you for real.

"I'm not leaving you, Koji. But I can't work here anymore. Things are going to change, and we knew that. Just understand this." He knew you were right, the first time you kissed, when you decided to be together, you made some rules cleared and decided to never mix your relationship with your work. And now it was all mixed.

"But Y/N, this is going to be yours one day. Why do you have to leave your own place? This is going to be ours, together." Something switched inside you, something warm started to grow, Kojiro was thinking more about you than you thought yet you wished for it. There was a future he was envisioning for you together.

You kissed his temple and took your phone out, "I guess it's as good time as ever." You showed him the last email, "I have been accepted at the Culinary Academy. I want to improve my skills and I think it's the best time for that."

Kojiro read the email in front of you, "This is actually really impressive. It's the best Culinary Academy here in France." He hugged you, "You are so smart and amazing. I'm going to miss you around here."

"Does that mean that you are ok with this?" You asked him.

"Why wouldn't I be? It's an amazing opportunity. Besides, even if I weren't, you are your own person, Princess. You make your choices, I'm just here to support them." He pulled you even closer, "Besides, I will still get you every night for myself and I won't have to share you with anyone else."

You smiled lovingly, "I love you, Kojiro. I promise you that we are going to be ok, and together, forever."
