Wataru looked at Nago-san's rules. There was something very wrong with Nago-san, he could tell. Nago-san was a good man, in blinded by some things.
He had to find help for Nago-san. Nornally, he'd ask Shizuka-chan, but Nago-san had, for some reason, forbidden him to deal with women, and he didn't want to make Nago-san's condition worse. Megumi-san was out, too.
As Mio-san would be, if he knew where she was.
Wataru didn't know many guys. There was Nago-san himself, Kengo-san, the cafe owner, and Shima-san. He could probably talk to Kengo-san, but the boisterous musician wasn't exactly subtle and he didn't want to make Nago-san's condition worse. Shima-san was Nago-san's boss, he might order Nago-san to keep away from Wataru, but that might only make Nago-san's condition worse. The cafe owner might be the only one he could turn to.
"Wataru," Kivat said, unperching himself, "Do you intend to let that man rule your life?"
"I didn't agree to any of his rules," Wataru said. He'd been careful not to. "But I don't want to hurt him."
Kivat snorted. "He's one step away from hurting *you*," he said. "I'll talk to Shizuka."
"Kivat...." Wataru started to say, then realized Kivat was right. Nago-san had only required Wataru not to talk to any women; he hadn't said anything about Kivat. He didn't even know about Kivat. Which was good. Knowing about Kivat would mean figuring out that Wataru was Kiva. Nago-san knowing that Wataru was Kiva was bad enough when Nago-san was all right; this could be a disaster in his current shape. "You're right."
"Of course I am," Kivat said. Wataru opened a window for him and let him out, closing it after him.
Tatsulot, who had taken up residence with Wataru, swirled around his head. "Cheer up, Wataru-san! Things will get better!"
"I hope so," Wataru said. He decided to head for the cafe. Nago-san wouldn't be there anyway. He liked to choose his times when he was there, and in the afternoon he had things to do. Besides, at the cafe, he felt like he was recognized and someone who belonged there.
He left Tatsulot at the house and soon arrived at the cafe. The owner seemed surprised to see him there, but cheerfully served him a drink. He was the only customer there at the moment. Wataru worked up the courage to ask what he wanted to ask. "Do you know Nago-san well?" he asked.
"He has been coming in here for quite some time," the cafe owner said guardedly. "Why?"
"Has he been acting strangely to you?" Wataru asked. "He came to my house and said some very strange things to me."
"Not to me, no," the cafe owner said hesitantly. "What strange things?"
Wataru didn't want to pour all his troubles onto the other man, but he hoped that telling him a little bit would help. "He wants to run my life," he said simply. He didn't mention the boyfriend thing. "Who I can't see, what I can't do, what I can do."
"That's very possessive, even for Nago-kun," the cafe owner said. "Have you told him no?"
"I tried objecting, and he snapped and told me not to argue," Wataru said.
"This is bad," the cafe owner said. "You're your own person, Wataru-kun, you should live your own life."
Wataru nodded. "I just wish that I knew why he's acting this way. From his rules, he seems to think I'm in danger of befriending and sleeping with a female Fangire." He knew it was safe to use the term; the Wondrous Blue Sky Association used the word there all the time.
The cafe owner scratched his head. "I'm not sure what he's intending," he said, "But you're going to have to stand up to him, Wataru-kun."
Wataru nodded again. "Thank you," he said, and finished his drink, paying the cafe owner.
"Good luck!" the cafe owner said.
He returned home to find Megumi-san ringing his doorbell.
