When it Rains it Pours

Kyo was curled against Haru’s stomach comfortably one of his hands resting on the ox’s arm that seemed to have become the cats pillow. Haru didn’t mind in fact he found the position more than comfortable. He himself was curled around Kyo, there legs tangled as the warmth from their bodies heated the bed making it quite cosy. He was exhausted himself and was more than willing to join the cat and sleep especially after the vigorous activity they had just been engaged in. Even now Haru doubted Hatori or any one would approve of what he and Kyo had just done considering the cat was supposed to be resting. Still despite not sleeping for more than forty eight hours he couldn’t relax enough to actually doze off himself.

His mind was miles ahead of him thinking things through again working over everything. He was all but back to square one with his thought pattern. Back to wondering what he was supposed to do about the situation he had worked himself into. A situation he wasn’t entirely sure he even wanted to be in even thought he sure as hell didn’t want to leave it.

The problem was a complex one and one he doubted had an easy answer. Taking a deep breath he winced as his stomach muscles protested the action violently. He still couldn’t believe he had fought Yuki not just fought him but landed the first blows. All to protect Kyo because what the rat had been doing was unfair and shouldn’t have been happening. Yet even so he had still attacked Yuki the one he loved first the one he still loved even though he loved Kyo.

He wasn’t entirely sure how that worked wasn’t sure it was even supposed to. He loved Kyo completely and loved being with the cat. Would do anything for him and hated to see him hurt and had felt this way for some time. Yet still he had feelings for Yuki and no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t fight them and didn’t want to give them up. Yuki was his prince the one who had helped him manage his anger in the first place and taught him more than he would ever let on. Haru had always desired the rat and probably always would. Even when he had been with Rin he had still wanted Yuki that was part of the reason why she broke it off.

That was half the problem though. Here he lay in bed with Kyo after they had been together not moments before. Kyo had let him in was still letting him in allowing all of his barriers to crumble because he believed that what Haru said was the truth. And in a way it was. He did love Kyo or he thought he did but just not the way he loved and wanted Yuki. He knew he could never have Yuki the rat was simply to troubled by what Akito had done to him in the past.

Not that Haru could blame him for that as Akito could traumatise any one. Succeeding to with almost every Sohma in one way or another regardless of sex, position or age. That’s just the way Akito was and they all accepted it yet that didn’t mean it necessarily made them happy. That’s mainly what created all of this in the first place in a way.

Slowly he began to untangle himself unable to remain still knowing he wouldn’t get any sleep. Managing not to wake Kyo he slipped from the bed pulled on his pants and made his way down stair hoping that he could clear his mind and return before the cat woke up and found him gone. Almost instantly his mind argued that it didn’t matter if he was gone when the cat woke the other would just draw the logical conclusion. That Haru had left so that none of the other family members found out that they had been together. Even though Haru himself was all but positive that Shigure knew it didn’t mean that every one else did after all Yuki certainly didn’t.

Sighing as he continued to walk through the grounds of Sohma house he scolded himself for letting his mind turn once again to Yuki. Its not something he could help though and no matter how much he tried he still couldn’t get the rat out of his mind.

Maybe he was just a dumb cow after all. Maybe that’s all he ever would be. A stupid fool for others to use without ever catching onto the fact that they were.

Looking up from where he had been randomly wondering he sighed at where he found himself. He knew this place knew this house its where Hatori, Ayame and Shigure went to… hide. He’d found this place once before when his sense of direction was worse than it was now.

He’d been looking for Momiji when he’d become lost and unable to find his way back to the main Sohma house. Stumbling into this slightly forgotten section of the property his curiosity had perked when he had heard noises from within. Naturally being curious and severely stubborn he’d gone to investigate only to find the three older men in a rather compromising position. What could have ended in panic and a large case of awkwardness for the rest of their lives had been resolved simply.

The three adults had decided to explain a thing or two to a very confused twelve year old who had promise to never tell any one. As such he never had and probably never would the fact that even now it was still going on behind the families back testament to the Mobodachi Trio at its finest. Those days had been a long time ago and now things were becoming more complex but he didn’t really have any where else to go.


Taking a deep breathe he walked up the stair and slid open the door a little louder than he normally would have. Knowing that in doing so Shigure would wake to the noise almost instantly, his keen hearing picking it up. Closing it behind him he kicked off his thrown on scuffs and headed up the stairs at a medium pace. He expected to be told off, even expected to be yelled at it what he deserved.

Here he was a sixteen year old seeking solace in the comfort of three possibly busy men who hardly if ever got time together. Reaching the top of the stairs he only found one set of eyes watching him from the darkness. The other two lumps in the bed could be asleep if not for the stiffness of one of them and the complete stillness of the other.

“Shigure” he whispered guiltily

“Hatsaharu?” asked the person in the middle who was obviously the dog. There was a sigh of relief from more than one person “You scared the life out of us, Don’t ever do that again okay?” whinned Shigure.

“Are you alright Haru?” came Hatori’s deeper voice the lump on the left moving so he could see the dragons face.

“Yea I suppose” he admitted thinking suddenly that this was a very bad idea and he shouldn’t be here “I’m sorry I’ll go back to the main house” he muttered turning to leave.

“Har… whats wrong?” asked Shigure full of concern using the shortened version of his shortened name. Not sure when Shigure had picked it up but he only ever used it on rare occasions and Haru could swear he’d heard him call Hatori that at one stage.

“I just needed to take a walk” he admitted “I’ve got a lot on my mind is all and I couldn’t sleep”

“Need some company?” offered the dog. Haru could all but hear the cheeky smile in his voice.

He almost said no, he half wanted to because he knew this wasn’t right knew what he was about to do wasn’t right. But he was sick of thinking sick of procrastinating over Yuki and Kyo.

“If that’s alright?” he asked sheepishly.

“It’s fine” was Hatori’s reply “Shigure get Ayame to move over a little would you”

There was some shuffling as bodies were rearranged and some how Haru found himself curled between Hatori and Shigure with Ayame’s hand drapped across his hip as the snake snuggled into the dogs back. It wasn’t the first time he’d been in this situation and it was more than comfortable, but that had been a good many years ago. Many years before he had hormons like he did now and defiantly a while before he had any thoughts about sex. Even as he felt himself begin to relax and drift off surrounded by the scents of the three Sohma’s and there love making he couldn’t help but wonder.

Wonder about what would happen when he woke in the same position between two attractive naked men with a third just within reach. In some ways it was a pleasant thought in others it was embarrassing and all up it was just something he didn’t want to think about.
