Sometimes It Be That Way
To Each His Own
When Kyou woke up, he realized that he was extremely warm. There was something
tickling his nose too. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was
the white fluff that decorated the collar of Haru's ridiculous jacket. It
was that same fluff that had been tickling his nose and still was. He let
out a small sneeze as he pushed the collar of the jacket down a bit. He then
realized where exactly he was and felt a blush stain his cheeks.
Sometime after Kyou had cried himself to sleep, Haru had carried him into
the playhouse and fell asleep himself, with Kyou on his lap. Haru had also
taken the liberty of putting his jacket on Kyou, keeping the neko warm against
the chill of the night air.
Kyou rested the side of his face against Haru's shoulder, trying to make
sense of everything that had happened last night. He wasn't sure if he was
for or against what Haru had asked of him, but the ushi had triggered something
inside him that he couldn't quite put his finger on. It was some emotion that
he hadn't felt before. It made his heart ache, but not in a bad way. He racked
his brain trying to remember if he had felt this sort of thing before and
couldn't recall if he did.
"Give me a chance" The ushi had asked. Kyou had consented
to this with a nod before
he finally broke down completely. He didn't like showing
that sort of emotion in front of anyone; he was supposed to be strong. Yet
it had felt so good to get that weight off his shoulders and confide in the
ushi who offered him understanding, and maybe something more.
Could he really trust the ushi? Kyou wondered, idly raising a hand to touch
one of the necklaces Haru wore. He wasn't absolutely sure at this point in
time. For one, there was always Black Haru to deal with, but Kyou knew he
could kick the crap out of that idiot if he tried anything. The second had
to do with the slight anxiety he harbored at being abandoned as he was long
ago when they were just kids. The ushi had suddenly stopped being his friend
to go follow after that kuso nezumi like some love struck idiot. Hell, his
own mother no, he wouldn't think about that.
He sighed, closing his eyes. This most likely wouldn't work out. No one could
stand being around the cat for too long. He was bound to do something wrong,
he always did.
The arms surrounding him tightened as Haru joined him in the land of the
waking. Kyou felt the blush deepen as Haru nuzzled his hair affectionately
and sleepily mumbled, "G'morning beautiful," before placing a kiss
just to the side of Kyou's lips. A hand lazily stroked the neko's back and
Kyou realized that he kind of liked this treatment. No
one had ever given him this sort of affection before.
That strange feeling grasped his heart once more, and Kyou decided he would
give Haru his chance.
***
There wasn't much said between the two of them that morning Haru reflected.
Kyou had given him back his jacket after Haru was finally able to bring himself
to let the neko off his lap. It had felt so unbelievably good having Kyou
in his arms.
The neko's face showed how uncertain he was, and Haru understood the ruby
eyed boy's internal dilemma. Kyou had never been in a relationship before
and had told Haru that he didn't have the slightest idea what to do. Haru
assured him that all he needed to do was be himself, and to let Haru take
care of the rest.
After they had exited from the playhouse, Haru had taken Kyou's hand in his
own and led the overtly silent boy away from the park. Date number two was
in order, thought Haru. It was well overdue.
So after wandering around for an hour, Haru finally stumbled across a restaurant
that was open, and he and his neko settled themselves into a booth. Gray eyes
refused to concentrate on the menu and kept making their way back to the tanned
face that was partially obscured by ginger hair. Kyou was fidgeting and Haru
could tell he had something on his mind.
"What's the matter Kyou?" The question brought the crimson eyes
up from the menu.
Kyou blinked once then dropped his eyes back down. "Uhm, we don't have
to tell anyone about this, right?"
Haru knew firsthand the consequences their new relationship could bring upon
the two of them if certain persons were to catch word of it. He reached across
the table and took Kyou's hand in his, palm against palm, linking their fingers
together. "Of course not kitten."
Red eyes shot up, one eyebrow was raised, "What did you just call me?"
Kyou demanded, almost yanking his hand away.
At least Kyou finally was snapping out of his uncharacteristic silence. "Kitten?"
Haru said with a wide smile.
The fire was back in Kyou's eyes, "You baka u-
Haru chose that moment to lean across the table and press his lips to Kyou's
in a chaste kiss. When he leaned back, he couldn't help but grin at the perplexed
look on the neko's face. Haru noted that was a great way to put a halt to
Kyou's tirades, one he'd have to do more often.
He squeezed Kyou's hand briefly before letting it go to run his thumb down
the stunned neko's nose. "Pick something to eat before the waitress gets
back, kitten."
"Yeah right " Kyou trailed off looking back down at
the menu, a warm flush staining his cheeks.
***
After breakfast, Kyou had walked Haru back to the main house. They had been
out all night and agreed they wanted to shower and change. Haru had seemed
reluctant to let the neko go home. Offering to walk him back to Shigure's
instead, to which Kyou had adamantly refused, telling the ushi that if he
wanted to shower he'd better just let Kyou lead the way.
When they parted Haru had left Kyou with a tender kiss on the cheek. Kyou
had almost
hoped the ushi would repeat what he had done in the restaurant. The thought
of which
colored his face with a deep blush.
When Kyou looked up from watching his feet move towards their destination,
he was back at Shigure's house. He let himself in, planning on going directly
to his room to collect some fresh cloths then shower. Shigure got to him first
unfortunately.
"Kyouuu~" Shigure sang, popping up behind him. Kyou almost socked
the inu from the surprise shock. "you never came back last night! What
mysterious adventures were you on??"
The look on Shigure's face agitated Kyou. He didn't want the inu to get any
idea of what
he had been up to. If the inu knew, it would only be a short matter
of time before
everyone else and their brother knew. In response he
rolled his eyes and settled for cursing the inu before making his way to his
room.
After his shower, Kyou had decided to finish some homework. He wasn't really
concentrating on it since he had other things on his mind. Well, actually
just one person, but the thoughts brought on a warmth that seemed to spread
out through his being and put a lopsided grin on his face.
He put down his pencil, and stared at the chibi cow he had unconsciously
doodled on his paper. Maybe this relationship thing wouldn't be all that bad,
Kyou admitted.
***
Date two had led shortly to date three, then four, then five, then Haru stopped
keeping track. He had been right about the b-flicks too. Turned out Kyou had
heard of Friday the 13th, well just the main character Jason, but for some
reason Kyou had thought Jason was a bear. The neko had clung to him from beginning
to end of Jason X, and Haru didn't need to worry about the pretense of 'stretching
out' to cover him since Kyou didn't protest when he slung his arm around the
neko in the dark theater. Kyou had also grown used to the pet name.
Haru couldn't have been happier, and he realized he was well past the point
of no return when he told Kyou one sunny afternoon in the park that he loved
him. Kyou had blushed madly at the declaration and ducked his head under Haru's
chin, wrapping his arms around the ushi's waist in silent response. Kyou hadn't
told him the same back, but Haru was fine with that, he could wait.
It had been almost two months since Kyou had agreed to give Haru a chance,
and even though things moved slowly, Haru felt no need to rush.
The simple things in life, like walking home together, and working on homework
with each other gave Haru a sense of balance he never could have imagined
before. Who would have thought it would be the neko that would fill that empty
gap in his heart? Surely he had never experienced this when he was with Rin.
She didn't complete him the way that Kyou did.
Amazingly enough, his black personality had yet to surface since Kyou and
he became an item. There was a couple times when he almost did black out,
but all it took was Kyou placing a hand on his arm and gazing at him with
that worried expression and the blackness subsided.
Kyou was also comfortable with him now. The neko had gone back to his quick
tempered and hotheaded ways, but when they were alone together Haru got to
see a side of the neko he was sure no one besides maybe Kazuma and Tohru had
ever glimpsed. Though only he got to see it this often. It was that bright
smile that could melt your heart, eyes shining like rubies.
There was one thing that Haru alone was privileged to, and that was the sweet
gentle need behind the kisses they shared that would have Kyou kneading at
the front of his shirt. Kyou had caught on fast to the art, and after their
first initial 'real' kiss, Haru couldn't seem to get enough of his kitten's
soft lips and explorative tongue.
Almost two months, and here they were walking hand in hand down the street.
Haru smiled down at his kitten as Kyou prattled on about why Jason had beaten
Freddy.(1)
"Hey!" Came from nearby. Haru looked over and saw two very familiar
girls sitting on the ledge of a fountain. "Told ya you'd make a cute
couple!" Then a camera went off.
Oh, it was those two again. Haru grinned at the two who smirked back and
gave a thumbs up. Kyou sneered at them then dragged Haru along after him.
Yeup, thought Haru, this was the life.
