Chapter 3:
Seiji woke the next morning with a feeling of contentment. He was warm and felt safe. What was even better, he did not remember having any nightmares from the night before. Stretching, he paused as he felt something rub against him. Blinking his bleary eyes, he saw a swath of blue laying across his pillow. Touma was tucked into the crook of his arm. One of his hands spread possessively across Seiji's middle.
Seiji smiled down at the archer, wondering idly why he was asleep in his bed. Reaching out a hand, Seiji played with Touma's silky locks as he tried to remember the past evening. Everything was a blur from the time he went out to the woods. Wait a minute. Woods? The last thing he remembered was lying down on the boulders by the waterfall, so how then did he get back to the house and in his bed no less? Glancing at Touma's still sleeping form, he wondered silently, 'Did he bring me back here?' Seiji struggled with his memory, but it kept flitting away just out of his grasp. He dragged his hand over his eyes in annoyance. A headache began to pound beneath his brow. Struggling to get out from under Touma's arm without waking him, Seiji was surprised to find Byakuen balefully watching him.
"Byakuen? What are you doing in here, boy? Shouldn't you be with Ryo?"
Byakuen huffed at the swordsman as if to say 'I don't always have to be with him, you know.' Instead, he padded over to the swordsman's bed and began to nuzzle Seiji's cheek.
Seiji had yet to untangle himself from Touma's tight embrace and truth be known he wasn't really sure if he wanted to. He rather liked the feel of the archer's arms around him and the heavenly scent that was pure Touma. Touma smelled fresh like the morning rain. Turning his head to see the clock, Seiji was surprised to see that it was almost noon. He never slept this late. Stunned, he sat bolt upright, knocking Touma's arm from around him.
Byakuen hastily retreated back to his rug. 'Humans' he thought irritably to himself.
"Seiji?" a sleepy voice called to him.
"Oh Touma. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just surprised that I have slept tlatelate." Seiji glanced down at the floor, ashamed that he had awoken Touma.
"Late? What time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
"Noon? Too early. Need more sleep" came Touma's muffled response.
Seiji grinned down at his blue haired friend, laughter evident in his sparkling eyes. "Maybe so, but I am getting up."
Touma responded by tightening his hold on Seiji and refusing to let him u/FON/FONT>
"Touma, let me go."
"No."
"Touma . . . Touma, damn it, let me go." Seiji began to push against the archer to no avail. Touma's arms were like bands of steel wrapped about his body.
"No way, am I letting you go. Not after last night." Came the sleepy retort. Had Touma been in full control of all his mental capabilities he would have known not to have said that to Seiji.
Seiji stiffened in Touma's arms. "Last night? What happened last night?" Seiji asked in a cold, demanding voice.
Touma flinched as he realized his mistake. Cursing under his breath, he chanced a brief glimpse at Seiji's face. Seiji was staring at him as if he could see right through Touma's soul. It was an unnerving feeling to say the least. Deciding that perhaps he should find out what Seiji remembered first, he replied to Seiji's question with a
question of his own. "What do you remember of last night?" Touma held his breath as he waited for Seiji to answer him.
Seiji was startled that Touma did not answer his question and instead had asked one of his own. Eyeing the now coherent archer, he wondered again what had led to the two of them being in bed together. Shaking his head, he tried to get rid of the cobwebs that insisted on clinging to his memory. Raising rueful and somewhat panicked eyes to Touma's midnight blue ones, he stated "I remember leaving the house to go out to the waterfall. I needed to meditate and I had asked Shin to come and get me for dinner. I reached the waterfall and sat on those boulders near the shore. I think I might have fallen asleep but that's all that I can remember."
Seiji's voice began to rise in panic. "Oh dear God. Touma, I don't remember anything else. It's all a blur." Tears began to course down his cheeks again, beforehe angrily wiped them away. He hated feeling like he was out of control.
"What is happening to me?" he cried.
"Shhh, Seiji. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to ya." Touma pulled the quaking figure into his embrace. Rubbing his hand on Seiji's back, he spoke soothingly to the swordsman. Touma felt bad about not telling Seiji what he knew, but he figured that Seiji did not need the added turmoil. Sensing a shadow in the doorway, Touma looked up to see Shin peering worriedly into the room. Shaking his head, Touma mouthed "later" to his friend.
Shin nodded, closing the door softly behind him, a frown marring his features as he made his way downstairs. Byakuen sensing that his two charges needed to be alone followed Shin down the stairs.
