Fond Memories

\"Eyes! Dinner\'s ready!\" Kanone called from the kitchen. It had been almost three months since Eyes\' incident. Since then he had been very helpful to Kanone, always doing whatever he could to help out and being very polite. He definitely wasn\'t the same boy as before, but Kanone didn\'t really mind. He had loved Eyes before and it made him feel the slightest bit special that Eyes opened up to him so much more than anyone else. Since his incident, Eyes had been very cheerful, it was almost scary and Kousuke had just stared at the boy for the first week after they got settled into their new home. It was a lot like their old one which suited the five just fine, there were a lot of fond memories in that house (hehe, I actually incorporated the title into my fic for once!).
Eventually Kanone saw silver hair run to the stove and grab a bowl of beef stew and race back to the kitchen table in under three seconds, gulping down the food. Approximately 13.7 seconds later, Eyes was back at the stove getting more, he couldn\'t explain it, he just loved Kanone\'s stew. Eyes turned around, ready to dash back to the table and eat some more when he nearly ran into Kanone who was standing behind him. Thinking it was his fault Eyes looked to the floor, \"Sorry, Kanone.\" Eyes had been warned several times about running into people since, after he recovered, he took full advantage of his mobility by running everywhere.
Kanone smiled, \"It\'s alright, Eyes. Just watch where you\'re going. And don\'t eat so fast or you\'ll get hiccups.\"
Eyes grinned (another trait he had picked up) and nodded, walking, quickly, back to the table and started to eat again, this time at a slightly slower pace.
Rio walked out into the kitchen, hearing that dinner was ready and saw Eyes pigging out, \"Ew, Eyes, close your mouth when you chew!\" She said, slightly disgusted and went to get some of the stew.
Kousuke smirked and followed Rio, \"What do you mean \'when he chews\'? He inhales the stuff. I\'m suprised there\'s any left.\"
Ryoko just sighed and pushed Kousuke out of the way so she could get to the food first, \"If you\'re going to be a jerk than you can wait for your dinner.\" She informed him.
Kanone saw the arguement about to erupt into a full fledged fight when he spoke up, \"Children, don\'t make me come over there.\" He warned jokingly.
The three still eating laughed, but Eyes had stopped his inhalation of the food and was now standing up to take his bowl to the sink. As he washed the dishes in the sink he went to the base of the stairs that led up to the bedrooms and turned to the four still in the kitchen, \"I\'m going to bed. Goodnight.\"
\"Goodnight, Eyes.\" Rio, Kousuke, and Ryoko said in unison before resuming their arguing and/or eating.
Kanone, however, noticed a sad tone in his boyfriend\'s voice and stood up, \"I\'ll be right back.\" His words fell on deaf ears, however, as Kousuke and Rio were arguing again.
Kanone walked upstairs and knocked on Eyes door. He didn\'t hear any response and knocked again, \"Eyes?\" He opened the door and saw that the room was empty. Confused he checked his room, sometimes when Eyes was having a bad day or had had a nightmare he would go into Kanone\'s room and curl up next to the sleeping form. Kanone found no one in there either, though. Only then did he notice that the bathroom door was closed and he could see through the crack under the door that the light was on. Kanone walked to the door and softly knocked on the door, \"Eyes, are you in there?\" He heard no response but instead a gasp and a soft sob. Kanone tried to open the door but found it locked. Luckily he had a master key to the house (why it was ever created in the first place I don\'t know, but let\'s just be glad it was). He opened the door and walked in to see a slightly familiar sight. Blood. There wasn\'t a lot of it, not like last time, but it was there nonetheless and Eyes was sitting on the floor, a razor in his hand. Kanone could see that there were several cut marks on the inside of Eyes\' thighs, not all of them recent.
Eyes just stared at Kanone and started to cry even harder. Kanone immediately went to him and picked him up from the bloody floor and only relaxed when he heard the blade hit the floor. Kanone carried the bleeding boy to his (Kanone\'s) room and sat him on the bed. He told Eyes to stay there and quickly went back to the bathroom to clean up the evidence.

I really do apologize for how short all of my chapters have been lately, I\'ve lost most of my inspiration...that or I\'m just out of ideas and when I get one I want to stretch it out for as long as I can...yeah, that sounds more like it. Well, at least there\'s something going on again. Oh, and thanks so much to Kitty-N for reviewing, sorry it took so long to get up, and I\'m sorry I didn\'t get this up last night! I\'ll put the next chapter up with this one so I don\'t forget. Just to let you all know, the next chapter is the last one; kind of a short fic, huh?
