Breakfast was prepared by the early-risen Kiba; who, at seven, showered and dressed, then decided to cook while waiting for his hair to dry. He raided the frige and cabinet's for what the man had gotten them as far as breakfast means. There were many options of cereals, surprisingly a lot of the kinds he and Toboe really like. Kiba didn't know whether to be happy or upset that his brother had talked about the Wolf family so thoroughly with that man. But since Hige declared tomorrow - - which is now today - - the official day for sightseeing, Kiba thought a more hearty breakfast was appropriate for all the walking they will be doing. Or maybe Faye will drive them, since it was her car that Tsume had borrowed to drive them over here.
"I hope there's hot water."
Kiba heard from Hige as the roused exited his bedroom to cross the hall. The shower water sounded shortly after the door shut, a few minutes later the toilet flushed, and after that Hige let out a yelp from the changed tempurature of the water. He did this everytime he spent the night at their house, Kiba didn't expect anything less at someone else's home, although he wondered briefly if Hige did it at his own house, or was he just going for a running-gag.
Turning on the sink water, Kiba ran his fingers underneath the spray of water then flicked some droplets of water at the heating pan to test it. The sizzle made its sound of 'ready'. Slicing a bit of butter from the stick with a knife, Kiba tapped the edge of the cutlery against the side of the pan to remove the butter from it. The hot pan melted the substance quickly; Kiba then poured an amount of beaten eggs onto the pan to prepare the omlette for them. It was odd that everything in Tsume's home was, seriously, freshly bought. Didn't the model live here at all? Not that Kiba wanted to use or eat from anything that he had started in on, but still, its a bit... sad.
Toboe groaned seeing the closed bathroom door and at hearing Hige singing on the other side of the door. He really didn't wanna use Tsume's bathroom. Being surrounded by his soon-to-be ex's personal things would bring back too many memories of being in his penthouse the night he lost his virginity. Tsume washed his hair for him in the shower, and took such care cleaning his back. Toboe had made sure to keep his eyes to himself, even though they had just had sex only an hour or so ago; he remained uncertain of bounderies, when it came to looking at another naked person. Grabbing a towel and washrag from the linen closet, Toboe walked into the model's bedroom. He can still hear their conversation left in the room from last night. The small jokes, and talks about nothing, until he just couldn't hold his eyes open anymore.
'Is Tsume gonna become a living ghost to me?' Wondered Toboe; he walked into the spacious bathroom. 'Alive, and yet... whenever I think about him, it'll always be in past tense until my heart just stops reminding me of him.' A tug of the shower door opened the area to him; he really liked the dark blue color of the glass, it must look really nice once the door is closed and the water is going. Very aquatic.
"Whoa..." His jaw practically dropped to the floor seeing the layout of the bathroom.
The bathroom is very spacious; a good ten or thirteen steps can be taken by him before reaching the black toilet to his left, and forward from the door. A long counter, double sink with a marble finish is beside the toilet on its right - - not Toboe's right but the toilet's. The marble is dark grey, but the sinks are white. The boy thought that looked kind of nice in its own way. The floor is a polished wooden finish like the rest of the home.
'Where's the shower?' He wondered turning around.
There, beside the now closed door entrance, was the shower entrance. The glass door is also dark blue. Heading over, Toboe pulled the door open from a small gold handle that looks like it belongs on a tea cup. Head tilted to peek, he whistled seeing the dark space is completely marble as well, the same color as the sink. Upon stepping inside two sets of lights come on. Four at his right, and some hidden from his line of sight in front of him. Directly at his left is a towel wrack: 3 gold bars hold four washrags on the top bar, and two pairs of big fluffy towels on the other two bars. But he paid no mind to that for the time being, he's more interested in what's behind this dividing wall.
Taking two steps forward, he's again surprised to see a jacuzzie-tub, at his right, set in the floor with only one step to climb before you could get into it. The lights that came on were placed at the foot of the tub where the knobs are. The lights are kind of like those safety lights, they come out of the wall at the top corner in little boxes that are aimed at the tub. Its magnificent. But he doesn't have time for washing in the tub, so backing up he rounds the corner of the wall to walk the four steps in front of the towel wrack to get to the fanciest shower system he's ever seen. Toboe had a feeling the house could look like crud but someone would buy it if this is the original bathroom. Unlike with the tub, the lights in the shower are in holes in the wall with a removeable glass in front of them. Two are set at the top corners of the wall and the other two are on the bottom.
A panel to start it looks very simple to use and the shower heads are flat, imprinted into the wall and from the looks of it, they can turn from left to right, up or down. The main head is placed right above his head only this one is a large circle rather than a square as the ones in the wall. Its like a carwash for humans.
"Amazing." He says to himself as he walked out of the shower then the bathroom.
Once he removed his clothes they were left on Tsume's bed, before his return into the bathroom to take his shower.
"Now, let's see." Pressing the panel key buttons 2 and 3 he waits for the spray to get him from the front and back but the water doesn't come. "Hmm." Figuring the main head has to be on first, he then pressed the first button. Again nothing.
"That's funny. It should have come on..." Looking over, he could have slapped himself in the head. He didn't even turn the water on yet. "Duh." Twisting the knobs, he let out a yell as warm water attacked him like a tidal wave from all around. Leaning forward towards the control panel, he turned off the main head then the one infront of him.
The pounding sound in his ear silenced, minus the gentle spray of the third head shooting against his back. Toboe was sure that if that wasn't so scary he would have died happy in this shower. But for now, a normal shower would suit him just fine. Turning off the third sprayer, he then turned on the main head and bathed.
'Rinsing is gonna be awesome.' Thought the teen; happily soaping up.
Hige was the first to show himself for breakfast; hair damp around his head; he looked like he'd just been in a long steam. Kiba had to avert his eyes from the sight, or he'd have to hide out in the bedroom for a minute so that Toboe wouldn't see his interest in his boyfriend showing against his jeans.
Giving the air a hard sniff, Hige let out a pleased sigh of hunger. "That's the best smell in the world to wake up to. Kiba's cooking." He plants a kiss on said chef's cheek while swiping a sausage patty from the plate set by the stove, that is slowly being filled with their breakfast. "I wish my mom cooked - or would even pour me a bowl of cereal."
Kiba pat the shoulder of the emotionally abandoned for comfort. Even though Hige never talked about it, his mother is really busy all the time and somedays he's really down. But mostly, he's handled it very well. As for Mr. Moon, Hige's lucky if the man remembers when his birthday is. He's even more busy than his mother. But that's the way it goes sometimes. Hige knows that; so he only complains when he forgets that he's forgiven them about it, and he doesn't care too much. Plus, his family is very well-to-do, so he never has to whine for something he wants, and who would bitch about that for too long?
"Did you see Toboe?" Asked Kiba, handing his boyfriend a plate.
"Nope. Why, what happened?" He inquired, while his eyes beam at the portion size.
"Nothing. I was just curious if he woke up yet."
Mouth filled with egg, Hige rests his head on Kiba's shoulder. "Did you sleep alright?"
Kiba shrugged his free shoulder. "Slept fine."
"Oh. Then no need to worry." He departed the kitchen, speaking as he went. "We're going sightseeing today; I plan on taking a lot of pictures, so you'd better not be down in the dumps."
Kiba could only laugh at that. He already decided to let his hair down, and have a nice vacation last night before bed. They're in Italy. There's so much to see and do here. True it's not the most well-known place for real Italian experiences, but he likes that bit of difference. And strangely enough, he likes the hustle and bustle. It reminds him of Freeze City a bit.
"Morning, Kiba!" Greets his little brother, just about scaring the life from him.
"Hey." He handed the younger teen a plate. "I was beginning to think you were planning on sleeping all day."
"No way! Sightseeing!" He took the plate, looking it over to make sure he got enough to fuel him. "Thanks. But, y'know, I would have eaten cereal."
Smirking, Kiba reached for the plate. "I'm sure Hige would like seconds."
"No, I'll eat it." He snickered. He picked up a glass of juice waiting on the counter, then followed his brother into the dining room.
Toboe has so many places he wants to see. There's this castle, and a volcano, and the ocean itself is a sight to see. It's hard to tell which would be better first. He knew his brother wanted to see a museum, which meant he would have to find something to do to keep from getting bored. He didn't see his DS when he'd unpacked, which meant Kiba left it at home. Maybe Faye could show him where to find some comic books. He may not understand it, but he can just look at the pictures. Breakfast was eaten moderatly silent, until Hige glanced over at the open living room.
He lifted his plate and stood and says. "Oh yeah. I wonder what cartoons they have in the morning?"
"Yeah." Toboe stood as well planning to follow the Moon teen, but his brother grabbed his wrist to stop him. "What?"
"Sit. You can watch tv after you eat."
With a scoff, Toboe pointed to the missing vacationer. "But Hige gets to watch?"
"That's because Hige has poor table manners."
Said teen only waved it off.
Downtrotten, Toboe sat back down. But he ate as quickly as he could, eyes wandering repeatedly over to the screen, taking in what best he could see. Why didn't Tsume put the tv in a better place? Was he insane or something? Who doesn't eat in front of the television, or at least within a view of it? It should be a crime - - yeah! If it were, he's been jailed his whole life for it. It doesn't matter, though, so long as Hige didn't mention what was on, he could sit still and eat.
"Hey look," Hige calls "it's Tsume."
And he was up and out of his chair! Dashing over to the living room, he plopped down onto the floor in front of the coffee table. Surely enough, Tsume was on the screen. The model is naked in the shower, washing his hair and body; a woman does a voice-over, about the product most likely. Toboe wasn't sure. But he watched the commercial as though he were programmed to record every aspect of it to play back for later.
"Oh yeah," says Hige seeing the water turn into a woman's figure, while remaining in liquid form. "We have a commercial like this back home, remember - -" he pat Toboe on the shoulder with the back of his hand. "It was with Sae Ishiki?"
Toboe barely got the word out, so glued to the tv. "Yeah."
The shower system looks exactly like Tsume's. Did he get it for free, on endorsement He even had the shower gel! Toboe blushed fiercely when Tsume looked at the camera, and in Italian says something before the water-woman turned into a real woman and the screen goes dark.
'How could they... make him do that? Don't they know he's into men - - namely me!' Grumped the teen.
"Woo hoo, right runt." Joked Hige, seeing the serious look on Toboe's face; which would inevitably bother Kiba, and that would bother Hige. And today he planned on doing nothing but being a happy tourist, and buying lots of good junk on someone else's wallet. Can't do that with the Wolf brothers at odds. "I wonder when Faye's coming over?" He changed the channel to some talk show, then finished off his breakfast.
Toboe was still stone-faced with thoughts. There was so much he didn't know about Tsume. Or of what the man has been up to since their parting. What if he's been seeing women? Lovely Italian women. What if they love him, and he loves them back? Will Tsume just keep him as a nice play-thing on the side, for when he wants some unattached fun.
'No. Don't be stupid. Tsume isn't like that, and I know it. I've gotta stop getting so worked up; anyway, he's not gonna be my boyfriend for much longer - - if he's my boyfriend at all... Yeah! I'll just keep that in mind.' That being known, he put on a smile. "Yeah, I wanna see that castle - - do you think they have armor in their or anything, or has it been cleaned out and abandoned?"
Toboe returned to the table and went back to work on his food. Hige headed for the kitchen to put his plate in the sink, but joined them once simply rinsing it off. Kiba, once finished, washed his and his brother's plates. Hige had whipped out a brochure, that he and Toboe huddle over, pointing out attractions for them to see.
"The weather's good, maybe we can walk." Suggests the youngest, when he saw how close everything was once you leave the neighborhood.
"Are you kidding? Who wants to walk to food when you can drive and get there quicker." Retorts Hige, closing the thin booklet.
Eyes rolled; Toboe repositioned and sat in his chair rather than on his legs, to lean over the book. "Hige, walking will work up your hunger."
Grinning, Moon says. "Trust me, I don't need excersize to work up an apetite."
Laughing, Toboe shook his head. "Walking would still be more fun. Plus, if we see something cool, we wouldn't have to park just to go look at it."
"Toboe's got a point." Chimed Kiba finally joining the conversation.
"See."
Hige pouts. "Oh, big shock, brothers taking each other's sides."
Kiba only shrugged.
All three boys turned their head at the sound of keys rattling at the front door.
"Guess who brought breakfaaaast." Faye sang as she walked into the house.
Someone must have had a good date last night. The older woman turned into the dining room, seeing them all sitting around at the table; and her cheerful smile flatlined into a twisted brood.
"Oh, you've already eaten." She mentioned to no one.
Swiping the bag from the woman's shrugging hand, Hige pulled out a jelly filled. "Doesn't matter - - I could eat again, thanks." He took a big bite, holding tightly to the bag for himself.
Seat pulled out, Faye sat down in a slump turning her gaze to Kiba, who she pinned as the ring leader of the visitors. "We leaving now, or do you wanna hang out until lunch?"
"Is anything open?" Asked the older of the Wolf brothers.
"Not until ten; but we could just drive around for a while - - I don't care."
Hopping out of his seat, Toboe headed into the entry way to grab his sneakers. "Can we see that castle from the tour book? It's supposed to be an egg right?"
Face confused trying to understand what the heck Toboe is talking about, the picture came in for her and she nodded. "It's not shaped like an egg kid, it's just called, The Egg."
Toboe thought that over; "I thought that seemed a bit odd." sneakers in place on his feet, he wandered back into the living room to turn off the television. "I'm ready to go."
The three of them looked at him as if he were insane. Toboe returned the stare; they act as though it's four in the morning when infact it's 8:43.
The first to stand, Kiba wondered. "Is it warm today?"
"No, it's fine."
He took in the woman's attire of a loose fitting navy colored t-shirt and a pair of very high cut, white, shorts and flip-flops on her toenail-painted feet. He didn't see the need for a light jacket, or long sleeve shirt to go under his light orange t-shirt. Hige wore his usual get-up of double shirts: the short sleeve tennis shirt is a bright red, the under shirt with the long sleeves is a light grey, his jeans blue. Toboe chose a short sleeve plaid shirt with colors of forest green, olive green, and yellow with kahki pants looking like the true definition of tourist.
"You wait in the car, I'll get the money." Says Faye finally able to stand after her collapse.
Toboe was the first out the door, followed by Hige; whose keeping a protective hand on the bag of donuts. Kiba waited politely for Faye, so that he could lock up afterwards. Besides, he needed to talk to her in private for a minute.
Seeing the cute blue-eyed teen waiting at the door the singer offered him a smirk. "You didn't have to wait; I'll lock the door. What do you think I am, neglectful."
"No. I just need to ask you about something."
"Go ahead." She pocketed the money in the back one since the front pocket couldn't hold a dime let alone an envelope of money.
"My brother has a birthday coming up soon; since we're not gonna be in Japan, I have to throw the party here." He followed her out the door. "So can you take me to a party store later, so I can get the supplies?"
"No problem."
"The party isn't a surprise, but I'd rather not have Toboe tagging along with me."
Faye laughed at that. "Still does that childish pointing thing?"
Blushing that she would call his kid brother a kid, he replied. "Sort of. He's more disapproving than anything else." It was weird when other people looked at his brother like he's a kid, considering they didn't have to go through what he did. But it was also kind of a comfort to have someone on his side. Unlike Hige, who thinks his brother should experience everything while he's still young. Sometimes he wondered about his boyfriend's upbringing.
"Alright, we'll go after dinner." They start down the paved path to the car. "I can drop them off after we eat."
"Thank you." After a second thought, Kiba says. "You can come if you want."
That made the woman laugh a bit harder than before. "Thanks, but no thanks. I out grew parties when I was 29 - - for the second time."
Snickering, Kiba nodded. "Okay."
Only he really wanted her to come, because Tsume would be back then. And there was no doubt he'd be there, because he lives where they're staying. With Faye around she could take some, if not all, of the model's attention from Toboe, so that he wouldn't be tempted to repeat any of his birthday parties, since he and Hige started dating. With any luck the two won't even be on speaking terms by then. Tsume can stay hauled up in his bedroom for all he cares. But that's enough thinking about that wretched man for today. He said he would relax for Hige's sake, and his own.
The silver car backed from the driveway then started down the road towards the main part of the city, where they will soon be heading for Santa Lucia. The ride over was filled with music and chit chat about this building and that, although, it seemed that Faye didn't have a clue what she was talking about. But she made it sound fun, and interesting anyway. It was great when Hige started talking from the guidebook about buildings they passed; Faye told him to cut it out, that she was the resident tour guide; but when Toboe asked what something was, she blushed and said why not ask Mr. know-it-all. The car was left parked on a corner; the four of them headed through a little area filled with water and boats. The main color is very gray, because of the castle but surrounding it is dozens of buildings as if it's the castle's court.
Faye told them that the castle is called: Dell 'Ovo' which they knew to translate as 'The Egg'. She also mentioned that the village is called Borgo Marinaro, but not anyone can just live there. The village is for fisherman; however, it's popular in the summer for its cafes. Kiba took a picture of Mount Vesuvius, Faye told them that it is the A-list volcano and that its the only one still active in Europe.
Kiba took a picture of Toboe and Hige posing in front of a boat. Faye blocked her face when he snapped a picture of her in the castle. Hige took numerous pictures of the three of them while they walked about the village. Toboe talked to the fishermen about fishing in the area, and they laughed and joked with the teen. Kiba was glad to see Toboe having a nice time. After a fourty minute stay in the area; Faye then drove them to see a museum, as Kiba had asked.
The archeological museum was the highlight for Kiba. He must have taken pictures of just about every statue he saw. Toboe tried to get into it, but he was having a hard time, and lagged behind the three enthusiast. He didn't get what was so interesting about a bunch of statues and paintings? He could paint a picture, maybe not one as lavishly done as these people's, but if he could, he wanted instant recognition for it.
"Hey Toboe, check this out." Says Hige, pulling him to him by the upper arm.
"What? What?"
Pointing he commented. "See that lady over there, watch this." Speaking loudly enough, Hige says to the woman. "Giorno!"
The woman smiled at him and said 'Giorno' in return.
"Cool! She understood you?" Beamed the Wolf teen, as if Hige made up the language.
Nodding with pride, he says. "I read it from the book, and Faye told me how to say it."
"I wanna say it to someone." Toboe looked around the museum for a prime specimen.
A man standing off by himself seemed fitting, and casual he stolled over to the man. "Giorno." He says to him.
The man smiled and returns the greeting, though, he continued from there speaking to the boy rapidly in Italian. Terrified, Toboe shook his head and smiled.
"I know what you mean," he replied quickly, hoping the man wasn't actually saying something cruel to him. Not wanting to remain in the situation, he lifts a hand of 'goodbye' then floored it back to Hige.
Hige is doubled over laughing at him. "What was with that guy?"
Shrugging, Toboe looked over his shoulder at the confused man. "I don't know. Maybe he thought I was Italian."
"You wish! He might have just thought you learned the language, and wanted to test it out." Arm around the boy, he steers him to the last place he saw Kiba and Faye.
Those two. How could she like Kiba over him? He only adored her every second! Maybe fan worship creeps her out. Could be. Upon seeing them, Hige holds his gut saying in a low groan. "You guys done. I'm so hungry I could eat the runt here. And let's face it, he's not much of a meal."
"Yeah, I could eat." Says the singer. "Let's have pizza and gelato."
"I hope you mean in the same sitting." Hige beamed at the woman for agreeing with him to eat.
The foursome left the museum and head for a place called Da Michele. The interior is so clean, but plain and modern with stark white tiles checkered with green ones. The tables are for four and they have booths as well. The people inside are very talkative, which excites the hell out of Toboe who likes listening to foreign languages. A waitress came over and asked them what they would like. Hige was surprised to see that there were two options and only two but the drinks selection was nicely sized.
"What are you getting, Miss Faye?" Asked Toboe.
"Get the margherita, it's the best."
Kiba thought that sounded weird. "Shouldn't we share?"
Checking her make-up in a small mirror, Faye waved her hand out toward the center of the restaurant. "Take a look around. We don't slice pizza here, you get a whole one to yourself."
"Alright! I think I like this place." Cheered Hige. "You can have mine when I'm half done, Kiba, we'll switch."
"Sounds like a good way to get two kinds out of it, but, okay."
Not wanting to be left out of the experience. "You wanna switch with me Faye?"
The woman gave a nod while ordering for them. The waitress came by with their drinks first then brought their pizzas over. They're very thin, almost paper like. Kiba looked at his then Hige's. There were slight differences but nevertheless they were without toppings. He wondered if any of the pizzas in Italy had toppings?
"Look," says Faye. "the only way to eat this is with your fingers, like a crepe." The woman pulls a slab off the pizza then ate it to show them how to do it. "See, rippy bits."
They all cocked their heads at her Japanese, 'rippy bits' came together in an odd clump of wording but they understood. Tsume actually taught Faye very well, because up until now, they've never had a problem understanding each other at all. Lunch went along nicely. Toboe even managed to strike up conversation with another table; his brother and Hige joined in with Faye as their translator. The couple next to them ended up taking their picture and they took one of them. The group switched, half finished, as they'd agreed and they ate peacefully until the last bite, and drop of iced tea was gone. Leaving, they then stopped at a shop for gelato as promised.
Hige couldn't decide what he wanted and ended up getting two kinds. Chocolate and hazelnut. Kiba got a chocolate as well, and Toboe chip and mint. Faye got hers on a cone instead of a cup and she got three flavors, peach, lemon, and watermelon. That couldn't taste good together once it melted. But Hige just died holding her ice cream for her, as she drove to the opera house to end the tour. It was a great day alright, but Toboe was most looking forward to a phonecall that was promised to him by Tsume, and sure enough, when the clock struck twelve the phone in the model's bedroom rang.
