I Would Give My Life for You

Chapter 1: Late for Dinner
"Have any of you guys seen Ren and Horo?" Yoh asked the others as he glanced around the circular dinner table.
He watched quietly as both Jun and Pirika glanced at each other with concerned looks.
"We tried to warn you Yoh, that making those two share a room would only end in disaster" Lyserg said as everyone else who was sitting at the table began nodding in agreement.
"But don't forget, you have to consider the facts: Jun and Pirika wanted share a room, Anna practically demanded that she had her own room, and none of us wanted to put up with Horo's snoring or Ren's complaining" Manta pointed out looking up at Yoh.
Yoh gave a heavy sigh as he stood up from the table and left the dining room and headed to the hotel elevator.
-----
The elevator stopped at Yoh's destination, the 7th floor, where he and all of his companions had their shared rooms.
"209,210,211,212….213" Yoh stopped at the doorway and placed his ear against the soft pale blue door, when he did hear anything…he began to worry.
He sighed again, and then he quietly knocked on the door. There was the sound of muffled voices behind the colored doorway, then for a moment there was silence, then finally there was the sound of footsteps followed by a slight squeak of the door knob turning.
Yoh's brown eyes met gold as the door slowly began to crack it's way open to reveal the small-thin form of the Chinese shaman, who seemed to look somewhat different with his dark-purple hair down so that it hung just below his shoulders.
"Can I help you with something Yoh?" Ren asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I was just wondering if you and Horo were coming downstairs to dinner…unless you've already eaten." Yoh asked the younger boy as he tried to look over his shoulder into the room to try and spot Horo.
Only to have his search interrupted by Ren placing his own head in the way of Yoh's.
"No" Ren said plainly, "We're not hungry, nor have we already eaten. Now, if that's all you wanted to know I suggest you go back downstairs and finish your dinner before Choco or Ryu finishes it off for you" Ren snapped before he closed the door in the older teens face.
-----
Ren sighed as he leaded his back up against the inside of the door and listened to the sound of Yoh footsteps fade away.
"Hey Ren" Horo called from the Chinese shaman's bed as he waved him back over from the door.
Ren gave a slight grin as he climbed back onto his bed and into the lap of the ice shaman.
"You have no idea how much smarter you look with that headband of yours" Ren said as he began playing with a loose strand of blue hair.
Horo smiled as he began to thread his hand through the Chinese shaman's purple locks.
"Well, you have no idea how much cuter you look with your hair down…even if you look like a girl" Horo snickered as he curled the soft hair around the fingers of his left hand, while he held Ren's free hand in his right.
The ice shaman winced as Ren's elbow made contact with the side of his ribcage.
"What was that for?" Horo asked as he started rubbing his now throbbing side.
Ren gave a slight snort, "That's for that girl comment of yours."
The Chinese shaman began turning an even deeper shade of red than he already had been, as Horo began nuzzling the crook of his pale neck.
"H-Horo don't" Ren said as he struggled, trying not to show the older teen one of his weak spots.
"What's the matter Ren, don't tell me that the great Tao Ren is ticklish" Horo smirked as he began to nuzzle Ren neck again.
"Horo, I said do-" Ren sentence was cut short when the full weight of the other shaman made contact with his own, and both of them toppled off of the side of the bed.
-----
"What do you think they're doing in there?" Lyserg asked as he looked up from one of his many detective novels and towards the far wall which separated Ren and Horo's room from Faust's and his own room.
"I'm not sure what there doing, but I am sure that they don't want to be disturbed at the moment" Faust said, while Morphine and Eliza nodded in agreement.
-----
"H-Horo stop it! I-I c-can't breath!" Ren choked out as he tried to roll away from his attacker.
"Why should I stop now? I've just found the great Tao Ren's weak spot…he's ticklish" Horo said as he continued his assault on the younger boy.
The ice shaman always enjoyed the brief moments when he had complete control over the Chinese shaman.
"Common Horo let me up" Ren demanded as he kicked away the older teen's right arm, which was the only thing, was keeping him from falling on top of the younger boy.
With a loud 'thump' Horo landed square on top of Ren's chest, who was now blushing furiously.
"You see Renny, even at this angle you still look like a girl" Horo said teasingly as he placed his forehead against Ren's.
"Shut up, you baka-ainu" the Chinese snapped as he placed a finger against the other boy's lips.
There was a moment of silence between the two shamans before Horo made his move.
"But don't forget-" Horo cut off his own speech by pressing his lips against the younger boy's.
It was the first time that Horo had ever kissed him, so naturally Ren tensed up at first but then he calmed down and deepened the kiss.
A moment later Horo broke the kiss and finished what he had been saying, "I'm your baka-ainu" he said with the idiotic grin on his face that always made Ren smile.
Ren gave a very quiet giggle as the ice shaman gave his forehead a light kiss before he got to his feet.
"Are you gonna go to bed?" Horo asked as he climbed into his own bed.
Ren gave a slight smirk as he walked over past his bed and into the Ainu's, "Yeah, I think I will."
The ice shaman grinned as he wrapped his arm loosely around the Chinese boys waist.
"Remember Horo, if you ever forget that you're my baka…and only mine, you'll regret it" Ren said sternly before he closed eyes.
-----
Ren looked over his shoulder at Horo's sleeping form and gave him a concerned look.
"Sure, being ticklish is only one of my weaknesses, because you're my second weakness" Ren said silently before he closed his eyes once again in the arms of his lover.
