** Spoiler Warning.
Did you ever wonder what really happy that weekend when both Yumi and Iya went on a business trip up north? I have a pretty good idea on how it happened.
Yumi and Samisu went out for coffee one morning after Iya had announced the big news. Samisu wanted the details as soon as possible. Especially the juice ones.
Yumi began after sipping his hot chocolate, "Okay so we went up north, I got laid, she got knocked up. End of story."
Samisu was in tears laughing so hard. As soon as she calmed herself, she thwaped him upside the head. "Iya is not a slut. She doesn't believe in sex before marriage. Now what really happened? Did you drug her?"
"Hell no!"
"Then what?"
Yumi sighed, stirring the tiny straw threw the opening in his cup. "Fine."
"And talk slow, I have four hours to kill before my next class."
"F...I...N...E. I...T... A...L...L," he began, over exaggerating each word.
"You know what I mean, moron!" Samisu ordered.
Yumi grinned, "Fine, it all started that weekend during my internship at the pharmacy. It was winter and I didn't have my car yet. I was asked by my boss to take the weekend with pay up six hours up north to deliver a package of some random drug."
"You don't know the name?" Samisu interrupted.
"I forget it! Okay?" Yumi snapped in reply, "Now will you let me finish?"
"mm-hmm."
"Grand. So I asked Iya to come along for the ride. My boss lent me his car for the trip. It was a cheap 86' Buick. The ride up there was quick and simple. It was late when we got there..."
"Where?"
"Canada."
"You're in Canada now?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Because--its more then six hours away?"
"I drive fast, okay?"
"During the winter? With ice?"
"Let me tell my story!" Yumi yelled again and Sam quickly burst into her second round of laughter. "So we stayed in a hotel."
"Which one?"
"Some cheap one. It only had one bed."
"Stop right there! Go no further!" Samisu screamed, flailing her arms.
"She made me sleep in the bathtub with some towels."
"Oh. But how..."
"Then in the middle of the night she told me she felt guilty and let me sleep in the bed."
"Stop! Stop!"
"And she would sleep in the bathtub."
"Ah yes, continue..."
"I told her to buzz off because her face was giving me nightmares."
"Uh-oh."
"Damn right, uh-oh. That's not a good thing to say while sleeping in a shower."
"What happened?" Samisu inquired, biting into her bagel.
"She turned the cold water on!" Yumi announced.
"Go Iya!"
"Hmph... Anyway, it was morning by now and I was still wet. But that's irrelevant, I think. So we begin our trip back home..."
"Didn't you forget to do something?"
"No, mother, I pee'd before I left."
"No, I'm talking about the medicine!"
"Oh, we dropped it off the night before."
"You left it out!"
"So sorry." Yumi rolled his eyes.
"Some storyteller you are."
"Yeah, whatever. So we missed all the many warnings about the blizzard coming in."
"Dum, dum , DUM!"
"Cause the radio systems weren't working--all we could get was static. So we're driving and the snow begins to come down. Then I notice that we're running low on gas. We pull off the highway and towards a gas station but it was closed. It seemed like the whole town was gone."
"Hm. Odd."
"Very, so we decide that we'd drive down the road and try to find another. The snow kept piling on the road and we began to driver slower, and slower, and slower. Then the heater stopped working. I didn't really notice until the car stopped. Iya had been unusually quiet but I didn't notice because I was focusing on the road."
"That or just that you're an inconsiderate bastard?"
"Maybe a little bit of both. Anyway, we were stuck in the snow. We had no heat, no phone, and no porn. What is a guy to do?"
"Play in traffic?" Samisu asked.
"Hey! Come on, give me more credit!" Yumi replied, defending all men.
"Credit? You forget to get gas, forget to see how the weather was, make Iya worry about you sleeping in a tub, and drag her up north to were you claim to be in Canada!"
"Yes, but this is where I play the hero!" Yumi exclaimed in delight.
"Proceed."
"Okay, so I look over, and Iya is silent. I was like 'Iya, you okay?' She just sorta nodded. I wanted to complain and tell her it was her fault for weighing down that side of the car when I noticed she was pale and her lips were blue. So I was like, 'Iya are you cold?' and she was like 'No, I'm warm.' Lucky for me I knew the symptoms of hypothermia."
Samisu rolled her eyes, wondering where this story would lead to. "Yeah..."
"So I gave her my jacket and told her that we would just have to wait until the storm passed us. She agreed and said that she was tired and wanted to take a quick nap. But, being the genius that I am, I told her that she can't sleep because it's a bad thing to do when you have possible hypothermia."
"And Yumi makes a good call." Samisu announced.
"What else is to be expected? So I held her for a while, trying to warm her up. I was putting so much effort into trying to keep her warm that I wasn't focusing on myself."
"Wow that's certainly something new!" Yumi glared at her momentarily.
"Am I going to have to stop my adventurous tale to listen to you put me down?"
"Sorry, I'll stop."
"Good. So soon, I started to notice that, oops I have no jacket and I'm now wearing my wifebeater. Then I loose the feeling in my fingers. It wasn't good. I don't quite remember what happened there."
"I do." Announced Iya as she sat down next to them.
"Morning, Hun!" Yumi greeted cheerfully.
Iya looked at him awkwardly and pushed her chair closer towards Samisu.
"Do tell, Iya. Do tell." Said Samisu.
"Okay so I notice that Yumi wasn't talking anymore."
"Nice observation." Yumi commented sarcastically.
"Thank you," Iya smiled with glee, "Anyhoo, I look up and Yumi is unconscious."
"What ever did you do?" Questioned Sami.
"What I learned to do in science. Body heat is very strong and useful in a such a predicament. So I pulled Yumi into the back seat and stripped him down to his boxers. Then I did the same to myself."
Iya tried not to notice Yumi's flushed cheeks. "Yeah, go on..." Sam urged.
"Okay, so I pile the clothes and jacket on top of us, trying to keep the heat in."
"I see where this is headed."
"So I woke up, and I totally started screaming! I mean, I'm here naked next to a sumo wrestler." Yumi exclaimed.
"No, that's definitely not what happened." Iya replied, "I recall a rather confident grin as oppose to a scream."
Yumi turned red again. "Grr! So?"
Iya snickered, "Needless to say, Yumi's testosterone got the best of him."
"Were you conscious?" Samisu inquired.
"Awake!"
"Hypothermic!" The two screamed at the exact same time.
"Alas, that is that tale of how Iya came to be." Yumi concluded.
"Yeah but is it true?" Replied Samisu.
"No, I've been having an affair with Juan the pool boy. Yumi was fantasizing the whole thing."
"Of course he was, Iya. Of course he was."
