One In A Million

Mystik: Lol, hmm, I don't know. I'm sure Ayumu can be... persuaded, though (wink wink). Heh, thanks for reviewing!
_____________________________________________________________________


After some strenuous wakling the streets to look for Ayumu, Eyes realized that he must have gone home. Kicking himself mentally for not thinking of that immediately, he set off for Ayumu's apartment. He really hoped the younger one would just come back quietly, but had a feeling that he would need some convincing. Eyes dreaded hearing the other's terms, but knew he would have to go along with them. He just needed to remember to not get short with Ayumu for his poor playing; after all, he wasn't Kiyotaka.

Reaching the brunette's apartment, he knocked on the door. Who better to answer, than resident fangirl, Madoka? As she pulled the door open to reveal a slightly soaked Eyes (it had started raining on his way over), her breath caught in her throat. She tried to speak, but no words came out. Finally, she collected herself enough to utter something intelligent, "Eyes...Rutherford?" Well, maybe not intelligent...

Eyes mentally cringed, he had learned to avoid people who spoke like that, because it was usually followed by 'omgitsEyesRutherfordhessosexyIlovehimsomuchomgIthinkhejustlookedatme!' As bad flashbacks of mobbing fangirls rushed through his head, Eyes looked at Madoka, and saw that she was still in the shocked stage, "Is Ayumu home?" he asked, knowing that calling him Little Narumi would most likely raise questions.

Madoka shook her head, "Ayumu?" she asked, what did Eyes Rutherford need to see Ayumu of all people about?

"That is what I said." he assured her, "Brown hair, brown eyes, looks a bit like a loser." he started describing Ayumu.

"Did you come here just to insult me some more?" asked the boy in question, "Because I've had enough for tonight, thanks."

Madoka turned to Ayumu, "You know...Eyes Rutherford?" she asked, amazed. Maybe Ayumu was good for something after all. Ayumu nodded, and Madoka glared at him, "You know how much I love his music! Ayumu, why haven't you introduced us before!" she yelled, pissed at the younger one. She then turned to Eyes, "Mr. Rutherford, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm..."

"I know who you are." Eyes informed her, annoyed, "Kiyotaka's wife."

Madoka froze, "You...know Kiyotaka?" Then she shook her head, "Of course, you two met, how could I forget?" The sudden excitement that she might find her husband quickly vanished, and she smiled at Eyes, "Please, come in."

Eyes said nothing, but nodded. He declined her offers of food, somethinig to drink, and even taking his coat, "I won't be long." he assured her.

Sighing, Madoka gave up, and turned to Ayumu, "I'm hungry." she told him.

Ayumu sweatdropped, "I just made dinner..." he reminded her.

"Well, it wasn't enough, I want more!" she demanded.

Ayumu wondered where this was coming from, but he was damned if he was going to let Madoka talk this way to him in front of Eyes. Getting bossed around by your sister was not the thing to do when you were trying to get a boy to like you, "There's still more on the stove, and you're not a child, you know, you can get it yourself." Mumbling something about ungreatful brothers, Madoka marched into the kitchen, leaving Eyes and Ayumu alone. The latter turned to the Blade Child, "So, what do you want?"

"I think it's quite obvious why I'm here." Eyes told him, in a tone that said he wasn't in the mood to play any games with Ayumu.

"If you want me to come back with you, you're out of luck." Ayumu informed him.

Eyes figured this would happen, "What do you want?" he asked, knowing Ayumu had something up his sleeve. Eyes knew that the boy wouldn't just throw away time with his the one he claimed to love, so he must want something else.

"An apology." Ayumu stated. He could really care less if Eyes apologized to him, he just wanted to see how much the other wanted him back. If Eyes was willing to apologize to Ayumu, then the latter knew that he really needed him.

"An apology?" Eyes repeated, clarifying.

"That's what I said." Ayumu assured him, "Unless you don't need me, but I'm guessing if you didn't, then you wouldn't have come all the way across town to get me. You look like you've been out in the rain, too, so you must have walked." he observed.

Eyes glared at Ayumu, "What exactly might you want an apology for?" he asked, knowing very well what it was, but not wanting to have to go through with it. Eyes had never apologized to anyone, and he was damned if he'd start tonight.

"For everything." Ayumu said simply, "For get angry with me for not catching on right away, for insulting me, and for telling me that I'm expendable."

"I will admit that I was a bit harsh in my judgements of you, but I won't apologize." Eyes informed him. As far he was concerned, that was enough of an apology. After all, Ayumu did mess up pretty badly.

Ayumu sighed, he hadn't expected Eyes to actually apologize, but perhaps he would agree to something else, "Fine, let's go." he said, slipping his shoes and jacket on, "I'm going out." he called to Madoka, who was still eating.

She turned, glanced at the two boys, "Don't be too late!" she called, a mouthful of food, "You still need to wash my clothes for tomorrow."

Ayumu glared, "Why should I have to wash your clothes?" he asked. If she responded, he didn't hear it. Once they were outside, Ayumu stopped walking, drawing Eyes' attention, "Hold on a minute."

Annoyed, the silver-haired boy turned, "What is it now?" he asked, wanting to get out of the rain, which had increased its assault on the earth and their heads.

"If you want me to come back with you, I want you to do something first." Ayumu told him.

"What might that be?" Eyes asked, wondering what Ayumu had up his sleeve now.

Ayumu approached Eyes, getting way too close for the latter's comfort, "Kiss me." the younger one said. It wasn't a demand or a request, but a plead. He knew that Eyes would reject him, but he could still hope.

Eyes searched the brunette's face, looking for any sign of a joke. Though, by Ayumu's tone of voice, he could tell that he was serious. He figured that since he had gotten out of apologizing, Ayumu wouldn't take no for an answer this time. He only hoped that Kanone would never find out about this.

When Eyes grabbed his arms, Ayumu flinched, thinking the Blade Child would lose all self control and just hit him. Instead, Eyes pulled Ayumu to him, roughly, and closed the gap between their lips in a searing kiss. Ayumu gasped, and finally loosened up, leaning into the kiss. Eyes started to pull away, but faltered when he heard Ayumu whimper at the motion. In a rare moment of feeling, Eyes felt incredibly sorry for the younger one. He knew that he had Kanone, the boy he loved more than anything, and that Ayumu would never have the one he felt the same about.

So, instead of pulling away, Eyes took advantage of Ayumu's slightly parted lips to slip his tongue inside. Eyes' tongue ravaged the young boy's mouth, massaging his own and baiting it into a battle. Ayumu hesitantly played along, and deepened the kiss even more, slipping his own tongue into the older one's mouth. He lifted his arms to wrap them around Eyes' neck, and pull the taller boy closer to him.

Ayumu was so caught up in the kiss that he didn't even realize when he was slowly running out of breath. Eyes, however, did notice that Ayumu was stealing his precious air, and finally pulled away. Ayumu didn't object this time, panting to catch his breath. Eyes quickly regained his composure, and looked to Ayumu, "Was that satisfactory?" Ayumu said nothing, still trying to slow his racing heart, but nodded.

With that taken care of, Eyes led the younger one back to his apartment to finish what they had started earlier that day. From the shadows, a pair of glowing, yellow eyes narrowed at the events they had just witnessed. A very upset Kanone emerged, having seen and heard everything, and not sure who to take his revenge out on.

Of course Kanone saw them, what fun would it be if he didn't? Hmm, what will he do now, though. We all know how unforgiving and evil Kanone can be when he wants to, and I have a feeling he wants to!
