Dinner had been delicious. Toboe has never eaten beef stew that was so tasty before; and he was still glowing from the warm feeling he'd gotten from it. He and Hige cleared the dishes from the table - well - coffee table; Hige didn't think it was right eating dinner anywhere but in front of the television and Toboe wasn't one to complain when it came to the rules of the house; even though he's often tempted fate by doing just that with his brother, but with Hige he accepted them because his were usually fun. But they washed the bowls and pot, cutlery and such together. And after they got on the couch for television time.
Taking notice to the time, the mixed Moon stood from the couch, stretching his arms over his head releasing a low but long yawn before his hands and posture collapsed back down. "Alright, time for your bath." Informed Hige.
Toboe seemed to sigh, but he stood up anyway. "Can I just watch the rest of this, and then get in?"
"Sorry, but your brother said eight thirty on the dot - or something like that." He strolled upstairs with Toboe following, sadly, at his heels. He knows all too well how the guy is feeling, as he barely wanted to bathe half the time himself when he was that age. Go fall in love, cleans you right up. "Alright, there's the bathroom." He pointed a lazy hand.
Toboe paused outside the door with a frown. Hige always bent the rules, couldn't he do it this time, too? It would be their little secret - what was Kiba gonna do? Smell him when he walked in at two in the morning to see if he had taken it?
"Hey, Hige..."
"Any last words from ya now?" The teen asked imitating an Irish accent. "Any last snacks you be wantin' before the mouth is cleansed with oral soap?"
Toboe smiled with a shake of his head. "Very funny, but, no." He held the teen's arm giving it a delicate shake. "Can't you bend the rules a little, and let me take my bath a little later?" He gave him hopeful eyes.
Hige sighed wanting to give-in - what was the big deal anyway? It's just a bath. 'Nnnope, I promised Kiba. And the last thing I wanna do is get on his nerves when it comes to Toboe. I've got other things to use to mess with him.' He smiled with a mental chuckle. "Sorry, but no can do. Now run your water and strip - I'll turn the tv up so you can hear the show, okay?"
Even though he was joking, Toboe shoved him at his torso before going into the bathroom. "Fine; but you lost major cool points."
"Ha, I think I'll live." Hige rolled his eyes. He started towards Kiba's bedroom to watch some tv when he heard Toboe calling him back. "Ughhh, what is it now? You fall in or something?"
"I need you to run my water." The younger teen explained.
"Run your water?!" He pushed the bathroom door open. "What are you five? Run it yourself."
Toboe's eyes narrowed, and he cocked his head to the side. "Kiba and Mrs. Cher always run it for me." He placed his hands on his hips. "And as my sitter you should, too."
"Hhhuuuh, this is why I'm an only child." He placed a hand on his head, giving it a shake. "Alright, move over."
"Thank you." He mentioned.
Toboe started to unbutton his shirt when he heard the water thundering out of the faucet in the tub. He wanted to make sure to hop in quickly enough before the water started to turn cold on him. Kiba always gives him luke warm baths, never says why. He often wondered if Kiba used hot water? Must be a bills thing.
Hige twisted the 'hot' knob a little more because the water was teppid to his touch; and since he personally likes his bath water piping hot, the runt may like it, too. "There you go, your majesty," the older boy teased. As he turned to leave the bathroom his eyes caught a glimpse of Toboe's chest when his shirt was dropped to the floor. A gasp hitched in his throat, and he couldn't help but stare.
Along the right side of Toboe's chest and slightly up his neck and shoulder there is a large red bubbled lump of his flesh that looks just like Kiba's! Well, if you magnified it by 20. 'A birthmark? But wait... that doesn't look anything like any birthmark I've ever seen... So what could it be? Disease?' Hige slapped himself for thinking that, but he didn't know what else to think.
Toboe had been busy giving his skin a light scratching with his fingernails, as it has always itched when he removed his clothes. He wished he had a normal looking birthmark like other kids, instead of this thing. Glancing up when he hadn't heard the door close, he blinked and smiled at Hige's staring. "What?" When the teen didn't say anything Toboe tossed his shirt over Hige's head saying. "No peeking."
Hige blinked back to earth at the sound of the younger teen's voice. "Huh? Oh... ahehehe. Sure whaaatever. Enjoy your bath." With that, he turned and left leaving the door cracked as he had often seen Kiba do when he was over there at night.
Toboe couldn't drop the smile on his face. He didn't have a thing for Hige, goodness no. He just liked the fact that he was staring, it meant something, like... maybe Tsume would find his chest attractive too! 'I can't wait to see him tomorrow.' The red head mentally hugged himself before stripping off his pants and boxers climbing in.
'Hmm,' he thought absently. 'The water's kinda warm.' With a shrug he figured it was no big deal and he began to relax and wait for it to reach the top of the tub.
Hige peeked an eye beyond the cracked bathroom door. He was sure that Toboe wasn't under the same 'No tell' policy that his brother was, and he would surely give him the answers he needed. 'Sorry, Kiba, but sometimes you need someone to talk to when something is wrong. You can't just go making it worse by keeping it to yourself.'
Moving away from the door he strolled into Kiba's bedroom and flopped onto the bed. Remembering his word to Toboe, he turned on the channel they had been watching downstairs, and made sure the volume was loud enough for the kid to hear it.
"Hey, runt? Can you hear the tv?!" He called over the noise.
"Hmm?" The question had shocked him a bit, but he then figured what had been said. "Uh, yeah. I can hear it!" He called back. Leaning forward, he twisted the knobs to turn off the water, grabbing his rag he dunked it under squeezing it between his palms to get it nice and wet. This was so luxurious. He smiled cheerfully at the heat in the water.
#
Tsume sat at home on his computer downloading the pictures he had taken earlier in the day. He paid special attention to the one where Toboe had fallen down. A smile graced his lips. It was an odd smile, one that was surely unreadable as to what was really making the man happy.
"Aaalright..." Glancing at his computer camera, he adjusted the thing before turning it on. A little screen popped up at the corner of the computer. Checking the screen he took notice to where it was aimed in the room. "Perfect shot of the couch..." He murmured. Standing, he pressed the record button then strolled over to his couch.
Standing on his knees, he remembered the way Toboe had fallen onto the ice. Positioning himself as though the boy were in front of him, he held his hands slightly out. Model's aren't experts at 'freezing' for nothing. And with a slight rock of his hips he moved forward and back very slowly so that the camera wouldn't blur - although, it shouldn't, considering Tsume had the latest version.
He chuckled lightly as his lips parted slightly and he released a low moan. 'I can almost hear the kid now,' he panted. 'Responding to this as though his entire body were melting right under me...' He smirked sinisterly. 'Me! His first and only love.'
The phone began to ring, long enough so that the little cell almost vibrated off the table. "Shit." He groaned. Sliding from the couch, he reached out for the phone and picked it up. "Hello?"
#
Toboe whimpered feeling his skin tingle as the hot water raced down his chest, over his smooth skin and the not-so-smooth skin. 'That's odd. My skin's never been irritated in water before.' He reached up scratching his chest, it was beginning to tingle more - a little too much for his liking. "Hige?" He called out, forgetting how loud the television was turned up.
Hige laughed at the screen as this older guy - who's impersonating a kid - got stuck in a barrel.
Toboe continued to whimper as the pain in his chest grew. "Hige!" He called a little louder than before. His breathing had changed to a more frantic and heavy pace. His chest felt like his hands were clawing at him to try easing the pain. "Hige!" He shouted now. Tears were falling from his eyes when he stood up from the water. "Aaahhh!" He was up and standing and pawing at his chest.
That he heard. "Oh no! Toboe!" Nearly falling from the bed, Hige rushed out of the bedroom and up the hall. Toboe was already out of the bathroom and on his way to his brother's room when he bumped into Hige. "W-what happened?! What's the matter?!"
Wolf just rested against Hige's chest; his wet bare skin dampening anything it came into contact with, as he cried desperately scratching at his birthmark.
Hige was starting to freak out now. What happened in there? "Oh shit..." He stammered. "We-we've gotta..." He looked around frantically for something - ANYTHING that could stop the boy's pain. "Kiba! I'll call him!"
Scooping up the younger Wolf into his arms, he carried him bridal-style into his bedroom, and laid him down on his bed. Toboe's cries carried through the house - even over the volume of the television! Hige was beginning to cry himself, as he raced into the hallway then into the bathroom to grab the kid's towel. "Don't worry, Toboe, I'm right here!"
Returning to the room, he hurried over to the bed and wrapped the younger teen in the large purple towel. He patted him off wherever Toboe's hands scratched at his skin. His words were calming and quiet as he rocked the weeping teen back and forth, rubbing a hand up and down his chest to relax the pain.
"Ssshhh, it's okay, Toboe, I'm right here." He kissed the side of the crying teen's head.
The Wolf teen's sobs began to calm down as the cool air from the room rushed over him. Toboe trembled, though not from the cold, but from the steady pain that threatened his body. It was new to him, so weird, his birthmark had never acted up before - NEVER! Why now? In fact, birthmarks aren't something that feel pain. So what's happening to him?
A low huff told Hige that Toboe was feeling a little better, though still pained. Maybe he could talk though. "Toboe... what happened? Did something bite you - like a spider maybe?"
"N-no... I was just sitting there, and when I..." He cringed from pain, before going on. "I picked up my rag, I squeezed it over me, and..." His voice was so quiet as he spoke. "I don't know... it was fine at first but then it hurt... it really really hurt." He shook his head. "Like my skin was on fire or something."
Hige winced. He was the one who had made the water hot like that, but - what was the big deal? 'Duh, does a house have to fall on your head? This is the big deal! Now the kid is hurt, and it's all my fault... Damn it, Moon, you really know how to screw things up.' Whispering in a soothing tone. "Toboe, I'm... I'm really sorry... it's my fault."
The younger teen just lay in his arms trying to breathe evenly. He snuggled his forehead against Hige's side and closed his eyes to calm himself down. Hige didn't know what to do. He had never seen this side of Toboe before - he was never usually alone with him - not in-charge-of alone, anyway.
"The phone!" He remembered. Reaching to the bed side, he realized that there was no phone in Toboe's bedroom. 'Shoot.' Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his cell phone, pressing speed dial. "Come on, Kiba, pick up."

"So what's an old dust-ball like you up to lately?" Asked Faye in her usual lazy, bored-with-the-world drawl. "Because my week has been nothing but Hell-on-wheels."
Tsume laughed politely. "I take it Thailand is anything but inviting for you?"
"Hmm, no. It's not so much Thailand, as it is..." She paused her words for a few moments, it sounded as though she swore at someone around her. "I'm sorry, this idiot keeps giving me peas in my rice when I told him about - seven times-" she stressed mostly to the man, making sure to say it loud enough for him to know she was talking to him. "I wanted it without, dumb ass."
"I see, so it's the people pissing you off." Tsume laughed again. "But isn't that always the case with you, Faye? Have you ever stopped to think that maybe it's just you?" He got off his couch, walked over to his computer pressing 'stop' on the recorder. Then clicking 'save' he went back to the phone call.
"You can keep that up, and I won't call you anymore." She mock threatened.
"You say it, but you don't mean it." Teased the model.
"But, anyway, I asked you what you've been up, too." The singer commented. "Have you done your last photo and runway yet?"
"No, that's next week... But, in the mean-time I've been keeping myself busy."
Faye grinned on her end of the phone. "Aaaw, you dog. You sound like you've found a little play thing of your own."
"I do NOT take play things." Barked Tsume. That was one joke he didn't really care much for, even though Faye was the only one who ever really said anything about it, because she was the only one who knew. "But, if you're asking if I have a boyfriend then - yes."
"Woo hoo! I knew it!" She cheered, hardly phased by the man's harsh tone from before. "So come on, who is he - what's he like?"
Tsume thought a moment. He told Faye everything - even about Darcia, and she's always seemed to understand and not judge him for it. Tease him to no end, sometimes, but never judge. So sure, why not? "Actually he's a fourteen year old boy; his name's Toboe; and he's..." He looked to the Heavenly night sky as he spoke. "The world to me."
"He sounds special... But you said fourteen?" She paused as though waiting for an answer which she didn't get. "Uh huh. So your cell block is which one? I'll be sure to bring you a fruit basket."
"I haven't done anything wrong, we just kissed." He explained, though not in self defense, because deep down he did plan to do something - and sooner than later. "It was harmless. I said he was my boyfriend, because it was sort of... wishful thinking."
"Ha," Faye teased. "Since when did Tsume Keina wish? If you say he's your boyfriend than he probably will be."
"Yeah, if I can get past the brother. ...Guy's like a fucking fortress."
Faye laughed on the other end. "Can you blame him? I can see it now, twenty five year old man seen dry humping the hell out of a fourteen year old in a public park."
"Tell the world, why don't you." He began to pay attention to the computer screen again. Trying to get a frozen picture of himself so that he could snip it and attach it to Toboe's photo.
He heard the singer sigh on the other end of the phone. "Tsume... Don't tell me you lied about your age again?"
"Not by much this time." She was silent. "...I said I was twenty two." He confessed.
"Hm. Who am I to complain, I think you could pass for eighteen myself."
Tsume smiled sweetly. "You always say the nicest things."
"So do you plan on telling the kid that little feature about yourself?" Her inquiring mind had to know.
"Yeah..." He sighed out. "Eventually. Maybe even the next time I see him."
"You'd better, honesty is the best policy."
"I know..."
"He still asks about you - ya know?" She said when referring to a certain man who has lost his identity to be known as nothing but a "HE". "He even wrote a song about you. Have you heard it?" She went on. "It's all the rage in Italy; the girls think he's singing it to them, and any gay thinks that they might have a chance with him - but there's only you, huh, Tsume?"
"I told him before I left - I'm no ones play thing."
Faye shrugged, "I know. I told him the same thing... Guy won't listen, though." There was a tight silence for a moment or two, then Faye broke it with a sigh. "Listen, don't get yourself arrested on someone who isn't a sure thing. I care too much about you, Tsu'."
"I'll be careful." Though he shrugged it off, callously.
"Well, I have to eat now before my next show," With that she hung up her phone. Faye was never really one for goodbyes.
Tsume pressed the 'off' on his phone and dropped it into his desk drawer. 'Hn,' He thought with malice. 'Darcia can just forget about me. I don't want him anymore, and I never will again.' His eyes looked at his computer screen and he smiled at the teen that was displayed there. His fingers reached up caressing Toboe's virtual cheek.
"What am I doing?" He wondered out loud. "I love him... I shouldn't keep letting this weird habit of mine get in the way of that." The picture he had up of Toboe fallen to the ice was staring at him, and the clipping of himself on the couch practically gave him a wink to at least 'see' what it would come out looking like. "...Fine, but this is the last time." The model grumbled in defeat.
Pasting the pictures together it honestly looked as though Tsume was behind the boy in a sexual manner. He smirked a moment at the sight, in thought of it all coming true someday, before clicking the screen off and deleting the saved files.
"I'm sorry, Toboe, for disrespecting you like this." He said to the invisible teen. "From now on, I won't use you as my kinky muse. You're too innocent for that - that's what I love about you, ya know. You don't expect anything wrong with anyone; you give them a chance for a new start; and I won't blow it by scaring you."
Flipping down the computer screen; he sighed and glanced at the clock. 'Nine already?' He stretched his arms over his head then stood up. 'I'd better shower before I neglect it all together.'
"Can I come with you, Tsume?" He heard his crush's voice.
Smiling, he held a hand back to him. "Of course you can."
At the Wolf residence.
"Hige, what did you think you were doing?!" Kiba raised his voice at the irresponsible. "I asked you to watch him, and you... you do this?"
"I didn't..." He paused, searching for a way to explain. But it was true, it was his fault. But he didn't know what temperature the water was supposed to be at. It was his first time watching over the kid in that manner! What was he supposed to do?!
By the time he had phoned Kiba, his manager said he was already on his way home. So Hige called him on the cell phone he had given him in-case of an emergency. And his already pissed-off boyfriend was less than happy, when he'd heard what had happened.
"You did!" Kiba was saying toward Hige's weak attempt to explain what happened. "Didn't you hear me, when I'd called the first time?"
"Huh?"
"I had told you to make sure that the water was luke warm, not too hot or cold, just warm...?" Kiba stared his boyfriend in the eyes. "Don't you ever listen to me?"
"Yes, Kiba, but - I didn't hear that part, I must have moved the phone away from my ear when you had said it." Hige lowered his head. "I'm sorry... It'll... never happen again."
"You're right, it'll never happen again, because you're not welcomed in this house ever again."
"What?" Hige couldn't believe his ears.
Kiba was breaking up with him, over something that - now that he thinks about it - wasn't his fault?! If Kiba didn't think he had heard him, he should have called again.
"Kiba," Toboe began. "It's not Hige's fault - honest!" The younger Wolf frowned; blinking up at his brother with huge, sad, eyes.
"Toboe go back to bed." He ordered in a quiet tone.
Silenced, he started to leave but paused, then he turned around. "No! No, I won't!" He marched back in front of his brother, though he's mostly standing in front of Hige. "Hige didn't do anything wrong, I... I should have checked the water first and asked him to run it again, if I didn't feel that it was right. So if it's anyone's fault it's mine for not doing it myself!"
Kiba's face turned into a full frown as he shook his head, he wasn't buying it. Toboe wasn't old enough to do those things on his own.
"Kiba..." The teen went on. "I'm old enough to take responsibility for my own actions, and decisions. You can't just go around blaming and punishing everyone else for my mistakes. I'm fourteen for God's sake! And I know you think that I'm wrong, but you are!" A pout marred his lips. "If you keep doing things like this, I'm gonna get the impression that I can do anything I want without punishment... And I know you're smart enough to realize that... So, act like it sometime." With that stated, the younger Wolf stomped off to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him.
Hige kicked his foot against the rug, keeping his head down. "I'd listen to the kid." He said, meekly.
Kiba sighed, dropping his posture. He hated when the people he loved double-teamed him. He especially hated it when his little brother was mad at him. "...I'm sorry. I was just... taking my anger out on you from earlier." He closed his eyes waiting for Hige to shout at him next.
The Moon teen smiled jokingly; taking a step forward, he wrapped his arms around his lover. "Hey, that's what I'm hear for. If you don't shoot your mouth off at me, you're gonna have a whole lot of people mad at ya, buddy."
Kiba smiled fondly at that. "I know." Nuzzling into the oranget's thick hair with his temple, he relaxed into the embrace. He didn't realize how stressed out he had been until he was in the car coming home, then Kiba got that call from Hige and it all went down hill from there. "Thank you." The Wolf teen whispered. Taking his boyfriend's arm he walked him to the front door.
"Uuhh, I'm really glad you're giving me a second chance, Kiba... I won't screw up again, I swear."
"I know... you didn't know, I understand." Kiba said quietly.
"You're awesome, Kiba, I always love that quality about you." Though he couldn't help but feel as though he were being pushed out. "Kiba, are you throwing me out?"
"No." He opened the front door and followed the mixed teen out, closing it behind them. "I need to talk to you."
"About Tsume? Yeah, I forgot all about that. But I was thinking about that creep after you'd told me what happened at the store." He walked to his car with Kiba at his heels. "If he ever shows up there again, he's gonna have to answer to me." The teen informed.
Kiba paid him no mind as he walked to the passenger's side of the car. "Did you get a chance to talk to Toboe?" He opened the door. "Did you find anything out?"
"Well," Hige closed the door on his side. "He saw you and me shacking up in my car. But other than that, he was really vague."
Kiba turned green at that, then focusing on Hige's words he asked. "Vague how?"
"Like... he was dancing around something the entire time."
"O-okay - okay... What'd he say?" Kiba questioned, moving a little closer to his boyfriend as though the very person they were talking about might overhear them.
"Well, we started out talking about you and me." He gestured with his hands, alternating them back and forth between them. "How I..." He mumbled out the masturbation part, then went on. "And then I asked him: "who do you do it to"?"
"Hahaha, that's good."
"Yeah, 'cause he figured that you told me about what he'd done, so he leveled with me and said that... he was only doing it because a friend from school had talked about it."
Kiba narrowed his eyes. "What?" He hadn't been sure he'd heard right.
"Some kid in class was going on about it - I guess when the teacher had walked out, or something." He shrugged. "But the kid went off on it, and Toboe found himself alone sooo heee..."
"...Tried it out." Kiba finished his thought. They were silent a moment. "Okay, what else?"
"Ssshh, let me think..." Hige began to bite the side of his bottom lip as he pondered their conversation. "What else... what else - Oh! He said that someone had kissed him!"
Kiba felt as though his heart had just exploded right then. "...Alright, Hige, I trust you to tell me the truth about this..."
The Moon teen put his hands up to silence his boyfriend. "Don't bother, he didn't say whom; and that was kinda of around the time when you called," he mumbled in defeat. "I got distracted."
"Later tonight I have to go to my second job... When Toboe wakes up, I need you to still be here. I'lllll?" He thought for a second. "Drive around for a while."
"Ha, no way!" Argued Hige. "You stay at my house, you have a key. I'll tell the runt something came up so I have to get him ready for school."
Kiba's smile couldn't have been brighter, and he grabbed his boyfriend's cheeks pulling him over for a kiss. "Mmmmua." He imitated the kissing sound. "Hige you're the best."
"I know. There's one in every relationship."
Kiba only laughed, with a shake of his head. "I have to go eat; and tuck in the "runt", as you so colorfully call him."
"Haha, okay." Hige pulled out his car key sticking it in the ignition. "I'm gonna go get my night clothes. Say good night to Toboe for me. And tell him that.. I'm sorry about the tub thing."
"I will." He leaned over giving Hige another kiss. "See ya in a bit."
"Uh huh."
Kiba climbed from the car, closing the door. With one last wave he walked back into his house.
Hige smiled to himself, glad that Kiba wasn't really going to break up with him. He needed him, the way he was sure Kiba needed someone and not just in love but in sharing that big secret of his. And he was sure that being there in the morning he could ask Toboe about it.
