CHAPTER 55

Hiyoshi couldn’t believe this. He was going back to Sanada’s room again and all because he’d forgotten his stupid bear. At first he’d decided to just leave it, it was just a stuffed bear after all, but… it was one of the few presents he’d ever received from Akaya, and he’d grown annoyingly attached to it’s disgruntled bear face who’s color matched his hair but looked nothing like him whatsoever – it didn’t matter what the brat said. If he was lucky, maybe Akaya hadn’t noticed it and he could just slip in and take it without being noticed. Once again, he knocked on his kendo senpai’s door and hoped for no response.

In Sanada's room, Akaya had fallen back asleep, this time on his fukubuchou's bed with one hand holding the DVD remote and the other clutching Waka-kumo nice and close. He heard the knock but just groaned a little and curled up more on the bed, not wanting to wake up and have to face the world. He hadn't done much of anything since the break up. He'd skipped classes and even tennis practice in favor of hiding in Sanada's room. He didn't know how Waka-kumo had made it to him, but it smelled like Hiyoshi and it had been one of the few things that helped keep him from crying now.

Like last time, there was no response, but Hiyoshi knew better than to assume no one was there. He silently opened the unlocked door and carefully entered the room. The first thing he did was check the futon to make sure Akaya was not there, which he wasn’t, good. He also noticed Wilson was strangely absent; maybe Akaya had taken him out on a walk. It wasn’t until after he shut the door and took his shoes off that he even noticed Akaya asleep on the bed. Shit! He couldn’t go through this again… There should be a rule about seeing your ex too soon after you broke up with them.

His heart caught in his throat and he almost immediately turned tail to leave, but then he saw the reason he’d come in the first place nestled in his boy—ex-boyfriend’s arms. Creeping closer, he deliberated on what he should do. Damn it… What was he supposed to do? If he couldn’t have Akaya, he at least wanted his Waka-kumo! As smoothly as possible, he reached out to try and gently take back what was his… and in the process not be distracted by Akaya’s closeness and how good he smelled and how much he wanted to…

At the sound of the door opening, Akaya stirred more, but kept his eyes closed because he could tell it wasn't Sanada. When the person got closer though, he realized it was Hiyoshi. He could smell him, and remembering what had happened last time he faked sleep, he opened his eyes. It was the first time he'd seen his boyfriend since the breakup and he wanted to cry, but instead he just clutched the bear closer and took the hand that was extended out toward the bear in his own so Hiyoshi couldn't run.

When Akaya’s eyes opened, it had the same affect as if his feet were glued to the floor. The beautiful green he’d missed so much stared up at him, locking him in place. “I… uh… came for my bear.”

"That's it?" Akaya asked and sat up, still holding the bear securely against his side. He knew Hiyoshi didn't want this anymore than he did, but he didn't know what he could do. He couldn't fix Hiyoshi's family. The touch of the other’s skin left his body feeling soothed and safe, but he knew it wouldn't last long. Hiyoshi would leave and he'd be cold, scared, and alone again.

Just the simple touch of Akaya’s hand against his seemed to warm his whole body and put another crack in his frozen armor he’d worked so hard to build. He didn’t deserve it, nor could he afford it. His voice steadied again and he gently but firmly pulled away from Akaya’s hold. “Yes, please give him to me.”

Akaya sighed quietly as Hiyoshi pulled away and held the bear protectively. "Why should I?" he grumbled and looked back at the movie, having no idea what was going on.

Hiyoshi raised an eyebrow at Akaya’s stubbornness. The brat had to know how hard this was for him. His words were cold and clipped, “Because he’s mine, brat, so give him back.”

"Make me," was the answer without missing a beat, eyes watching Hiyoshi challengingly. Hiyoshi wasn't the only one having a hard time and Akaya wasn't about to back down and make it easier for the man.

A vein pulsed in the mushroom’s forehead and he felt like tearing his hair out, or Akaya’s. “I do not have the patience to deal with this right now. Give me back the damn bear Akaya!” His arm struck out and took hold of a fuzzy leg and tried to drag it back to him.

Grabbing Hiyoshi's hand, he pulled the impatient man onto the bed and sat on his stomach, straddling him. "Make me, Wakashi," he snapped like the pouty spoiled boy he was.

Anger being a relieving emotion compared to everything else he’d been feeling lately, Hiyoshi didn’t even notice the position they were in since it was one he was all too familiar with. He just narrowed his eyes. “You’re being ridiculous and unreasonable. It’s my bear!”

"Then why was he here?" Akaya asked accusingly and stared down at his boyfriend, holding the bear above his head protectively.

Hiyoshi’s face reddened, in anger or embarrassment, he wasn’t sure. “It doesn’t matter… I didn’t know you were so childish that you took back gifts when things don’t go your way!” If he could have seen himself he might have realized he sounded every bit as childish as he was accusing Akaya of being. As it was though, it was taking all of his self control not to let all of his anger out at the situation and throttle Akaya right there… or kiss him.

Using his superior strength, Hiyoshi managed to push Akaya backwards into a sprawl on the bed. Leaning over him, he tried to reach the bear. “You don’t see me trying to take Wilson back!” ‘That’s right,’ he thought, Akaya already had his puppy. He wasn’t going to get his teddy, too.

"I didn't take Waka-kumo back! You didn't care enough about him to even notice he was gone! He came to me on his own! And besides! You stole Wilson!" the chibi demon snapped and glared up at his ex-boyfriend. He wasn't going to take the blame for everything.

“Stuffed animals don’t leave on their own, stupid! And of course I noticed he was gone! Why the hell else do you think I’m here?!” He glared down at him almost nose to nose. For the thousandth time he cursed Akaya’s height advantage. “And I did NOT steal Wilson. He came running after me!”

"Yeah right! That's why you had to sneak back in to bring him back!" Akaya cried loudly, barely resisting the urge to kiss his ex senseless even though he was annoyed and pissed off at him.

Hiyoshi’s breathing deepened and his voice lowered as he realized just how close Akaya’s lips were to his and felt the warmth of his breath on his face, but the heated glare and angry voice did not falter. “I snuck in because I didn’t want to have to face you!” Wait? Akaya had known he was there?

"Why not? You were the one who ended it. It's me who shouldn't want to have to face you..." Akaya growled in a quiet huskier than normal voice, his eyes not moving from Hiyoshi's though they longed to flick down to his ex-lover’s lips.

“Because I still love you, you stupid brat!” Efforts were paused to get his bear back after the truthful words flew out unexpectedly. It was then he also noticed how much his body was naturally responding to Akaya’s closeness and that tone he was so familiar with. His head hung above Akaya’s, face bowed and body stiff. He breathed out low and raggedly. “I thought… it would be easier…for both of us… if we didn’t see each other.”

Akaya felt those words wash over him and catch him off guard. They weren't what he was expecting, but they weren't unwelcome. "Nothing will make this easier..." he whispered, his hand finding its way to the back of Hiyoshi’s head to pull him in closer, their breaths mingling as their lips got closer and closer.

"Akaya, I swear if you're still asl----" Sanada paused at the open door and raised an eyebrow at the scene of the two boys about to kiss on his bed. He really needed to never enter a room they were in alone. It always ended with him seeing so much more than he ever really wanted to.

With Akaya’s hand guiding him, it was the most natural thing in the world to close his eyes and let everything else disappear. Their lips hadn’t even met yet and he could already taste him… Then Sanada’s voice shook him back into reality. The invading voice cut through to his conscience and he shot up off the bed. Shaking with restraint, he tried to get back his control. “Sanada-san… th—this isn’t what it looks like.”

Sanada sighed quietly and walked over to take the bear from Akaya before handing it to Hiyoshi. "This is why you're here, isn't it?" he said almost gently as he looked at the mushroom headed boy he'd somehow ended up adopting as a kohai.

On the bed, Akaya just sat there, his curly hair covering his eyes as he pouted quietly. Sanada always had the worst timing ever.

Hiyoshi nodded and took the bear solemnly, miserable eyes looking over to Akaya every few seconds. “Thank you, but…” He walked back over to the brat he loved and held it down to him, saying in a soft voice, “You can have it. You already know if I could, I would give you anything you wanted.”

"There's only one thing I want, Wakashi..." Akaya murmured and gently urged the bear back to his ex-lover. "Take him... He's yours anyway..."

Well, this was awkward. Sanada looked away from the two that were making him very, very uncomfortable. He suddenly wished Wilson was there to help with the tension, but the little mutt was at Kaidoh's room playing with his sister. Damn it.

What Hiyoshi most wanted to give him, but couldn’t. Frustrated and disappointed there was nothing he could do to ease the pain for either of them; he tucked the bear safely in his arms and forced himself away. Turning to Sanada, he bowed low. “Sorry for the intrusion.” Shoulders stiff, with no other words, he quietly let himself out.
