Unspoken Regrets

Shigure did a double take as he looked at the return address for the envelope
in his hands. "Ha-kun, did you kill someone? Or do something otherwise
entirely undesirable?" The inu said waving the letter in front of the
ushi seated at the table.

The envelope was snatched from Shigure's hand and Haru raised an eyebrow
before opening it. He blinked rapidly at the letters contents and a small
smile quirking at his lips.
He had to go find Kyou right now. Haru wasn't sure if the neko would
like what the
letter said. In fact, he was pretty sure
Kyou wouldn't.

Shigure grabbed the ushi's sleeve as Haru got up from the kitchen table and
started for the door. "What is it for?"

Shaking the inu off his arm, Haru made a hasty exit through the door. "Later."
Was the curt reply that left the inu gaping in response.

Taking the stairs two at a time, Haru sprinted by Yuki who had been descending,
causing the nezumi to jump and miss the next stair, tumbling the rest of the
way down and landing on his face with an 'ouch'. Haru paused momentarily at
the door to his and Kyou's room, hand hovering over the doorknob. He took
a deep breath and opened the door, poking his head around it to see that Kyou
had looked up from the book he had been studying.

"Is something wrong?" Kyou asked him, putting the book to the side
and sitting up on the bed.

Haru entered the room, closing the door behind him and leaned against it
momentarily to collect his thoughts. The ushi really had no idea how to tell
his kitten the news, so he opted for taking a seat besides the smaller boy
and handing him the letter.

As Kyou read the short but to the point correspondence, his mind went through
a myriad
number of thoughts. The first being that his husband would look incredibly
sexy in
uniform, also it was a potentially dangerous job but Kyou pushed this
thought away as fast as he had it. What was really nagging at him was the
blurb about the 'dorm'
situation. A whole year for christsakes?! He raised his ruby eyes to
the ushi's face and
saw Haru had his own closed.

Scratching the back of his head, Haru let his gray eyes open halfway, "Kitten,
if you don't want me to, I'll find something else."

Kyou searched the murky gray eyes and knew without a doubt that Haru meant
what he said. If this was what Haru wanted to do, Kyou thought, he should
support the ushi. It wasn't as if he'd never see him during the year, just
not after eleven at night as per the letter. Weekends were always open too,
the neko decided, letting his mind wander back
to the image of Haru in a police uniform. Yeah, that would be sexy.

An unconscious smile blossomed on the neko's face and a suntanned hand reached
up to grasp the back of the ushi's neck to draw him down for a kiss. Kyou
enjoyed the sensation of the silver metal ball rubbing against his own tongue
during the prolonged kiss. When they broke away Kyou asserted, "Do it.
It's only for a year, I'll be waiting for you."

Haru rested his forehead against Kyou's with a minute smile on his lips.
The ushi felt the warmth from the gold band around the neko's finger on the
back of his head as Kyou ran his fingers through the black swatch of short
hair there. "Kitten, what would I ever do without you?"

Smiling at the love he saw so pronounced in the gray eyes before him, Kyou
whispered, "I ask myself that every day."

***

So it was decided, Haru would attend the police academy. Kyou had told him
that when
he was finished, Haru had better get them the hell out of Shigure's
house. The neko
knew that that was one of the reasons Haru had when filling
out the application. He didn't even have to ask the ushi about it since Haru
had mentioned it on more than one occasion.

The two had been about to have sex to celebrate the acceptance letter when
Shigure had
pounded on their door demanding to know what the contents of the letter
was. The two
on the bed sighed and Haru got up to go set the inu's mind at ease that he
hadn't
murdered someone or was going to jail for one
reason or another. Kyou picked up the textbook and began studying it again,
asking Haru if he would bring him up something to drink from the kitchen.

When Haru left the room, he glared at the inu on the other side of the door
before shutting it behind him. The acceptance letter was handed to the inu
who read it while trotting behind Haru on the way to the kitchen.

The inu's mouth was opening and closing with nothing emerging from it. Then
finally he managed to shake off the shock. "You're going to police academy?!"
He yelled shrilly.

Haru finished pouring the milk and put the carton back in the refrigerator
before turning to face the inu. "Yeup." Was the clipped reply he
gave.

As he was about to open the kitchen door, Tohru swung it open before he had
a chance to. "You're getting a gun?!" She screamed waving her arms
about.

The ushi and inu shot each other a disturbed glance. Haru flicked his gaze
back to
Tohru's shining one and said, "I'm getting a gun, not you."

Tohru face was blank as Haru stepped around her and began making his way
back upstairs. From the doorway of the kitchen she hollered at the ushi's
retreating back, "But you'll let me shoot it right!?!"

Shigure bopped his fan off the top of her head before slipping it back inside
the sleeve of his kimono. "You, young lady, will keep your hands off
any and all firearms."

As Tohru started firing at invisible enemies with her gun-finger, Shigure
could do no more than sweatdrop. He only hoped that Haru would also be given
a lockbox for said firearm.

Yuki wandered in at this point and stated, "He better get a lockbox
for that gun."

Raising an eyebrow warily Shigure said, "My thoughts exactly."

***

News of the ushi's undertaking spread quickly, mostly in part due to Shigure.
It wasn't fast enough though, since two days after receiving the letter Kyou
saw Haru sworn in at the precinct then off to the academy.

The neko had his reservations about it, but the academy wasn't too far away.
It was only a short ride on the train to and from the academy and the train
station nearby. The station was also close enough to walk to, but Kyou wasn't
ready for the first night he spent alone.

The neko tossed and turned, not being able to sleep. It had been a long time
since he had slept without Haru beside him, and he hadn't considered that
before the ushi had left. Kyou had figured that it would be easy to sleep
when he crawled into bed that night, but he found himself tossing and turning.

"Damnit." He muttered to himself, trying to get comfortable with
no success. Pangs of misery wormed their way into his heart as he realized
that even though he had spent the beginning of his life alone, he needed Haru
there next to him now. It wasn't going to be easy adapting.

Sighing angrily at himself, he pushed the covers back and sat up. Kyou scanned
his ruby eyes around his room and they came to rest on the open closet that
held his cloths and the cloths that Haru had left behind. He got up and padded
over to the closet, selecting a black nightshirt of Haru's and brought it
close to his nose, inhaling the scent that remained.

The shirt was splattered by unintentional tears that had fallen from Kyou's
eyes. He was surprised that something as simple as having to spend his weekday
nights alone was affecting him this badly. To try and compensate for the loss,
he pulled his own nightshirt off and donned Haru's.

Laying back down in his bed, Kyou held the collar of the shirt close to his
nose as he finally was able to drift off into a troubled slumber.

***

The following morning didn't fare any better for the neko. He had generally
been the one to wake up first, held close by the ushi, and when Haru woke
up first he would always cuddle the neko until Kyou roused himself from sleep.

On finding himself alone that morning, Kyou's sleep muddled thoughts panicked
for a minute until he remembered where his husband was. The neko's lower lip
trembled and he buried his face into Haru's pillow to muffle the sobs that
began emitting without his consent.

He couldn't stop crying, and he tried to remember the last time he was in
this sort of way. When he remembered the last time he had wept from such desolation,
back when he had been put in the house meant for the cat for what he had thought
would be forever, his tears slowly wound down into sniffles.

Wiping the tears streaking his cheeks away, he resolved himself and thought
silently that this was nowhere near as bad as that. Then, he had thought he'd
never see Haru again. Much unlike now, the two events were worlds apart and
it made the pain in his chest reside as he mentally calmed himself with the
notion that Haru would be back. It wasn't as if he'd never see Haru again.

When he was finally able to drag himself out of bed, he stumbled zombie like
to the shower to try and break his bleak mood. It didn't help. When he went
to class he found he couldn't concentrate on the lecture, doodling instead
all over his textbook unwittingly. When the bell rang signaling the end of
the session, he smirked grimly to himself at the chibi cows now populating
his text. Good thing he didn't have to return the book, Kyou thought disparagingly.

Not until he finally returned home, taking a seat in the kitchen watching
the minutes tick by on the clock, and the ushi finally walked through the
door did his demeanor brighten.

"Miss me kitten?" Haru asked nuzzling Kyou's neck.

Kyou knew he was holding on for dear life to the ushi, but he didn't care.
"Always." He whispered into the dual colored hair.

When Haru had to return to the academy, he left the neko with a soul searing
kiss. Promising to return regularly, Haru could tell his kitten was taking
the separation harder than anticipated. The ushi was hesitant to leave the
neko in that condition, but it couldn't be helped.

***

The following night and morning alone was no better for Kyou. He didn't have
a class to occupy his time today, and Shigure immediately saw the blank longing
that the crimson eyes bore.

"What's the matter koneko-chan?" The inu asked softly, taking a
seat alongside Kyou on the couch.

Kyou didn't look at the inu but rather kept his eyes fixed on the television
that had been tuned to the weather station for the past hour. "Nothing."
He grumbled.

"No, not nothing. You miss Ha-kun already? He'll be back today you know."
The inu received no response and he knew he hit the matter dead center.

Shigure dropped his eyes to Kyou's hands, where the neko was unknowingly
fiddling with his wedding ring. "Can I see that?" Shigure asked.

Kyou's hand closed into a fist, and scarlet eyes panned over to Shigure's
direction finally. "Why?" Questioned the neko.

"Did you ever see if Ha-kun had it inscribed? Just out of curiosity."

The fist uncurled and Kyou looked back down at the ring on his hand. Shigure
reached over and gently slipped it from the neko's finger since Kyou made
no move to either do it himself or hurt him if he did so. Shigure held the
ring up slightly and saw words etched into the gold inside the ring.

Shigure leaned closer to Kyou so the boy could read it too. The inu heard
the neko gasp at the message; it seemed that Kyou had never taken it off.
Shigure couldn't help but think that it would make a wonderful addition to
the new book he was writing. "Kitten, I am yours forever and ever."
Shigure read aloud. "That's lovely." The inu remarked with a wide
smile.

When he looked over, large tears were falling over the suntanned cheeks.
The inu placed the ring back in the neko's hand and pulled the softly crying
neko into a hug. "It will be alright Kyou, shhh." Shigure comforted
him, letting the boy release the pent up emotion.

Shoulders shaking from the sobs that were held back, Kyou nodded slightly
to the inu. It would be alright, it had to be.
