So...yeah. Woo. Stuff is good. LIFE IS GOOD.

Izumo did you put something in those cookies you baked last night cause I feel fucking hyper. And giddy. wtf man.

Kusanagi's getting big now too. Like to see Sasuke try and kick him now. Little guy'll probably do more than piss on his shoes this time around.

And Kaori-san called yesterday! It was nice to talk to her again. We really appreciated it, especially since...well, you know. If Izumo's parents found out...well, bleh. Either way it was nice to hear from her again, even if - I SWEAR - she practically screamed over the phone. Also, Jiraiya, she was asking for you, I guess.

I've done some asking around. I think I've got an idea of who pilfered our CA room.

( Private to Deidara; )

Wahhh and winter's almost over. That means ODEN SEASON is almost over. But sakura are blooming. That means hanami! And picnics. Hey, Izumo, we should arrange a staff hanami picnic or something! That'd be awesome.

I'm still up for going out for coffee if anyone wants. Or tea, whatever, I know you're picky, Kakashi.

I need to start getting out of the house more. Things are kinda boring aside from all the sex of course. Anyone looking to go for coffee? I could go for coffee. Have a nice conversation. You know, stuff like that.

Oh, yeah, Tayuya - sorry about missing your party. Izumo was distracting. I hear it was a blast, though.

So apparently Hidan and what's-her-face, the one with the huge rack Hana are back together now? Like it's hard to tell from the SUDDEN CHANGE. I swear, you kids...man, now I feel old.

Also, who the fuck used the CA room without permission? Things are missing. Like ingredients. Listen, we'll let you use it if you ask. Just ask, okay? Jeez. I discovered stuff missing around the week of Tayuya's party. If you're the guilty party, just step forward and admit to it already, because if you don't I will hunt you down.

No one touches the CA stuff without our permission. Which isn't all that hard to GET.

( OOC: Deidara is in troouuubleeeee >> )

Mmmh. I miss vacation and I don't. Teaching's all well and fine but Izumo's been really...well...he hasn't been his best lately. We got into a really bad fight a week or so ago - and I mean a fight. Like, the kind with punches. It ended well enough though, and I think he's been feeling better since then. And I'm glad...

Still though, I guess it was good to get back into the groove for school. Mm, quiche. And the students seemed to like it. And it looks like we've got Hidan in our class this semester, and that chick with the huge rack what's her name...Hana. She seemed a bit of an ice queen though. I swear she just...radiated anger and is it just me or did she glare daggers at Hidan every time he so much as looked at her? Crazy.

Still, though. Guess things could be worse.

Please, someone, anyone, come to our house in the next twenty four hours or so before we take off for Akita for the holidays. We have a disgustingly large amount of Christmas cookies left over.

Maybe I'll just leave them in a basket on the front step...take what you want, just take them. XD

I ran into a new student a few days ago while walking Kusanagi, Tenten. She's supposed to be in our class next semester, so great. She's a great kid with a promising outlook - I like her already. Plus, she and I share a hometown, so hey. Small world after all, eh?

Hmm. I should get to packing...

...but I'm not really looking forward to New Year's. We're with my family for Christmas before we head to Kobe to visit Izumo's fam for the new year...ack. This year we're actually telling them about...us. I know Izumo's scared shitless about it and I'm trying to be strong for him, but damn, I'm scared too. I hope nothing goes wrong...

Oh, what the fuck am I saying. We have each other. It'll be all right. I hope...

You know, they say the sex starts to decline once you get married...I am inclined to disagree.

It gets even better.

Elevator sex is even better when it's married people sex, I'm telling you.

I'm glad that Izumo's birthday falls so close to winter break, and that we decided to have the ceremony around that time, because now we have all winter to bask in it. And Christmas is getting close, and you know what that means - we go crazy baking Christmas cookies. (This is one of the few times where I enjoy the baking bit. I usually leave all that to Izumo but come on, man. Christmas cookies. Of course I'm going to help.)

And you know we always cook way too much so if you're interested in some cookies, feel free to drop by our apartment. But before the 23rd, because we're heading off to my parents' on that day like we do every year - Christmas with my family, New Year's with his. Kind of nervous about this - I always am - but it'll be fine. It always is. Just kind of nerve-wracking.

Looks like we'll be getting some snow soon, too. Reminds me of that one time in college where the guy down the hall really irked me, so me and a few of the other guys rolled up a giant snowball and left it in his room to melt...

The RA didn't really appreciate that though.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good break!

Okay, so I think we got all of the wedding plans worked out - more or less. We should be sending out invitations soon.

Damn, what a huge guest list. Was it really a good idea to invite practically the whole school? Do they even all know who we are? Well - Izumo wanted it, so it's all good.

And I got a college friend to do catering at a discount. Sweet. It's going to be awesome. Everything's set with the hotel, Nao's going to tape the whole thing and keep Izumo's fucking insane sister from doing anything fucking insane, and then we get to have hot married people sex.

Life is good.

So the toga party was...interesting.

Regrettably Izumo and I got kind of smashed buzzed so I don't really remember much of what went on...but I think Izumo's toga stayed on the whole time. Key word: think.

Okay, yeah, I can't remember a fucking thing we did after the alcohol. Please tell me we didn't do anything too fucked up.

At least people liked our food? Right?

But damn, Tayuya knows how to throw a party.

...Izumo, we need to stop fucking around and work on the goddamn wedding plans already before it's too late.

...Why am I totally not surprised? Izumo, you bastard

Almost November. The time has really seemed to fly.

I think I heard something about a student holding a toga party. Izumo seemed interested, but somehow, I think it's best if we stay away from that one. (I really don't want to know what a drunk Izumo would do at a toga party - no offense, babe.)

Oh, yes - Izumo, we need to start making wedding plans. (The rings should be arriving soon, too.) I don't want to put plans off for the last minute and then wind up having problems with it. And we need to give your sister a thorough talking-to before the wedding about the "no photography for Kaori-san" rule.


Things are going pretty well, though; Haku, whenever you're feeling better, let me know, all right?

God. Sometimes I'm just such a fucking moron.

Thanks for putting up with it, Izumo. And sorry about all the wasted money on the trains and taxis. I owe you.

It doesn't mean I'm not still worried about my dad, though. I have this ugly feeling that this isn't over.

Man. The past week has just been like. Amazing.

Izumo and I went looking for rings the other day. We ended up picking out a pair of really nice bands with a leaf pattern on them, and we're going to have our names engraved in them. Two weeks and we'll have them. I can't even tell you how thrilled this makes me.

Yeah, okay, so maybe we can't really get married, not legally. But seriously? Fuck that. The meaning's still there - the fact that we intend to spend the rest of our lives with each other. We'll be married as far as I'm concerned. I think Izumo wanted to have some sort of ceremony, but I've got no clue what.

So yeah, that was a nice day. We bought some other things, too, but that doesn't really bear mentioning here. I can't wait till we get those rings.

And...oh, shit. Kusanagi's chewing on my shoes again. Izumo, you need to start training that dog that he is not allowed to teethe on my stuff.

Oh...man.

Izumo took me out on the most wonderful surprise date of my life. To fucking Atlas. It's that new high-class restaurant on the mainland - and apparently it's booked for god knows how long. I couldn't believe it. This is the only time you will ever hear me say that I'm actually glad that his fucking insane dad has yakuza contacts. THE ONLY TIME. I don't think I've ever been to a place that fucking amazing before. And the love hotel sex after? Pssshh. We didn't get back until what, 7am the next morning? ...Sick day...

Izumo...thank you so much. You knew I needed a pick-me-up, even after you already made me feel better, and...well, that was one hell of  a pick-me-up. And about the rings? You have no idea how proud I am of you. I know how much that kind of commitment can scare you, and...I never wanted you to feel pressured or anything. But I'm so proud of you. I love you, babe.

But damn, am I tired. I think I need to lie down for a little bit...maybe go to bed early tonight.

All right. Thanks to Izumo, I'm no longer being a shitty little angstbucket. (Sorry about that, folks - doesn't happen often, but when it does, god damn.) I'd canceled the first cooking lesson for this weekend, though - sorry to all those who signed up. It'll be next weekend, don't worry. (Promise.)

It's getting colder, and you know what that means...winter dishes. Specifically, oden. (For someone who cooks as much as I do, it seems silly that something so simple and plain is my favorite food, but damn, I don't care. So. Good.) And kiritanpo, too. It's a dish specific to Akita-ken, where I grew up, but I've brought it to Oshima with me. It's the perfect cold-weather dish (second only to oden, of course); it's what I tend to make when Izumo complains about oden overload. (I don't blame him, heh.) Hmmm. Maybe we'll make that in Culinary this week, or next week. Do you mind, Izumo?

I think I'm going to go take a a shower and a nice long soak in the furo, then slide into bed. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

Just when things were starting to look up...a nice little bit of school violence pops up. That Hidan boy broke Sasuke's arm.

No, before any of you ask, I am not happy about this.

I might have disliked Sasuke for being rude to me, but that doesn't mean I'd want something like this to happen to him. (That'd be petty and frankly, isn't me.) I don't want anything bad to happen to any students at Oshima, even if they're not my students. Things like this just shouldn't happen in high school.

Sigh.

This is the first time since coming here that I've actually regretted taking this job. I honestly didn't think anything like this would happen at Oshima High. You hear stories about school violence on television but...I mean, even though my high school was a pretty middle-class place, I don't think this ever happened - not while I was there. Kids got into fights once in a while (maybe a little more than that - I'll admit, I was in some of them), but I don't think anyone ever actually broke a bone in a fight. It's just...argh. I feel horrible. Right now I just wish I could go back to Akita, curl up in my old bed, and just sleep. Mom and I would go to the bookstore together and buy cookbooks, and Dad would tell me funny office stories. I know I'm a grown man, but goddamn it, I'm homesick.

At least tomorrow is Sports Day and there isn't any school. I think I need the break. I think I'm just going to sleep all day.


I don't feel like cooking tonight. Izumo, maybe we can just order something. Unless you want to cook.

The past few days have been pretty stressful...

So I already posted about the Sasuke incident. When I got home, things just got worse.

Izumo's mom dropped by for a surprise visit. Oh, God. The only thing that could have possibly been worse was if his dad showed up. Izumo hasn't told his parents about us yet, even though I've visited them in Kobe many times - they think we're just friends. (Really good friends.) I mean, my parents know, and they're fine with it...but Izumo is convinced that his dad will kill both of us (slowly) if he ever found out. His older sister knows, but bless her, she's kept it a nice secret.

So yeah. I was already in a pretty bad mood when I got home, and the last thing I needed to be added to my plate full of "shit I just don't want to take" was to have Izumo's mother visit. She's a nice lady, but really, really pushy. She refused to stay in a hotel. And I was just in such a shity mood that I blamed Izumo.

There is no shortage of evidence in our apartment that a gay couple - not just a pair of really good friends - lives there. Mostly the fact that we share a bed. Izumo was planning on letting his mother sleep in the tatami room (pretending it was his room) and sleep on the couch. I just...I have this stupid thing where I can't fall asleep without him. (It's annoying as hell, trust me.) I knew I wasn't going to be able to deal with it so I said I had to stay in a hotel for the night - I just really, really didn't want to end up crawling over to Izumo in the middle of the night and then having everything blow up in our faces in the morning. Izumo had a problem with this. I really don't feel like getting into it, so long story short, I blew up at Izumo and he told me to fuck off and go to the hotel. (Given the way I was acting...I probably deserved it.) I think he told his mom that I was spending the night at another teacher's house for work related reasons or something. And...well, long story short, I spent several hours at the hotel before Izumo came to reconcile late at night (we were both sorry by that time), had nice makeup sex and went home. In the morning, Izumo told his mom that things had gotten out of hand at the other teacher's house and he'd had to come pick me up because I was too drunk and that was the reason we were both in my room. I don't know, I didn't hear the whole reason - it seemed to work, though.

She finally left at three PM - three hours after she said she would, damn it - and finally I could breathe again. I don't like this whole lying bit, and I don't think Izumo does either, but...I really can't force him to say anything. That'd be wrong. *sigh* Though I will admit...I'm not looking forward to New Year's all that much... (I swear his sister spies on me when I think no one's there. SERIOUSLY.)

Yeah. And then last night...well, last night, after Izumo's mom had finally left, I went over to Haku's apartment to bring him some food (it was Izumo's idea) - some leftovers from the staff dinner party. And...well...things almost got out of hand. I got a little drunk (I guess I really haven't grown up that much - I have a hard time refusing free alcohol) and if I remember correctly, Haku tried to take advantage of that. I didn't really appreciate that, really, but...all's forgiven. The truth is that I really like Haku, and so does Izumo. He's a good kid (pretty much). But I think he got the message after I pushed him away. I think he understands. I ended up stumbling back home drunk (which, admittedly, took a little explaining to Izumo...but nothing happened, and it's not the first time I've come home drunk).

I really hope things start to take a brighter turn soon, though. I need my happy back.


Still. Things could be worse. And hey, school starts up again tomorrow.

So I ran into one of the students at Oshima (not one of mine - I can count the number of students I have on my fingers) while walking Kusanagi today. Uchiha Sasuke.

Oh. My. God.

That kid is a piece of work. I swear, if I wasn't a teacher at his school I would have beat him senseless. Maybe one day if I get drunk enough I will. (That brat really needs to learn some respect for his elders and betters. Honestly. I'm a teacher.) He's got a self-important streak about as wide as the goddamn island.

He got all hot and bothered because Kusanagi decidede to piss on him. It was fucking hilarious. Then he was a little bitch to me even though I apologized (I really was sorry - well, at first, anyway). After realizing that bitching with him would get him nowhere, I decided to be nice and treat him to takoyaki - to show there were no hard feelings.

The little fucker bought two of the most expensive thing on the menu and then didn't even eat a bite. Ohh, man.

Then I had to pay paid for him to get the pants drycleaned. Um...sorry, Izumo, we're gonna be a little short on cash this week...

I am proud, however, that Kusanagi has picked up on the Hagane tradition of pissing on things to piss people off. Good boy.

Izumo felt the absurd need to post about the Penis Cookies Incident (which was, oh my God, so funny), and he's got me all nostalgic now. Ahh, the good old days of college...

I think one of the events from our college days that stands out the most for me was the infamous Piss on Izumo's Bed Incident in freshman year. It was maybe two months into the first semester and by that time, we were already best friends. Inseparable best friends. And I mean it. I think the only times we were really apart was for sex - Izumo'd bring back a girl once in a while (only once in a while because our dorm wasn't the only place he had sex - which I was grateful for at the time), and I was off doing my own thing - usually experimenting. But other than that? Goddamn inseparable. We pulled pranks on some of our classmates that wouldn't soon be forgotten. I mean, we had our rough moments in the beginning - this was around the time that Izumo started on his three-year "sake that goes with chocolate" search, and sometimes his hangovers made him just a liiittle bitchy. (Based on what I've seen, Izumo really isn't the best at dealing with hangovers, or waking up to anything that isn't general good health. Though he does look adorable when he's sick in bed providing he isn't complaining too loudly.)

Izumo wasn't the only one drinking back then. I mean, it was college. I was pretty much a partygoer throughout most of college, and it wasn't all that uncommon that I'd stumble back to the dorm drunk. It was on one of these occasions, my friends, that the Piss on Izumo's Bed Incident occurred.

It was a Friday night, and a few of my friends had thrown together a "let's all get fucking hammered" party so naturally, I went. (My life isn't all about cooking and sex, if you can believe it. I like to go get drunk off my ass every once in a while, too.) I don't remember where Izumo was that night - probably hooking up with a girl or something - otherwise I would've invited him. Anyway, long story short, one in the morning comes and I manage to get back to the dorm with more or less no incident (for a few minutes I just kind of stood in the hall, banging my head against our neighbor's door, but after he came out and shoved me a few feet to the left, I remember that it's keys and not heads that open doors and I got in).

And now I had to take a leak. Badly. As in, I'm going to piss my pants unless I find a fucking toilet now. I somehow managed to make it to the bathroom, but the toilet seat and cover were down - in retrospect, I don't really know why, but I thought it was Izumo's fault at the time. (Probably was.) It didn't occur to my drunken mind that the most reasonable solution would be to lift the toilet cover and seat. Instead, I seemed to think that the most appropriate thing to do would be to stumble out of the bathroom and empty my bladder on Izumo's bed.

I guess Izumo didn't feel the same way, because there was yelling involved. And comments challenging the nature of my heritage. Izumo calmed down reasonably quickly, though (considering I pissed in his bed) and we somehow came to the agreement that I had to share my bed as compensation. I wasn't entirely capable of arguing (not that I cared).

I think I groped him or something that night (that's what my memory is telling me) and then I'm pretty sure we had sex. And thus the relationship began. (Though I do feel a little cheated that I can't entirely remember the first time we had sex.)

Kusanagi is strangely obedient for a puppy we just got. He's incredibly attached to Izumo already.

Izumo made brownies. I usually prefer the cake, but these were peanut butter iced brownies, and I love those. Plus the kinky sex with the leftover icing is to die for. Though, I don't know if we're going to be able to eat them all. Izumo might kill me for offering up his brownies without his permission, but he'll get over it, so - anyone want some brownies? (I really shouldn't eat them all, and neither should Izumo, as good as they are. Far too unhealthy.)

Oh, god.

Izumo does the most frighteningly accurate impressions of horny schoolgirls.

I'm not sure whether I should be turned on just plain freaked out.
