h.I.m (Honey, I'm Mooning)
(Interprate this however you want to. It's a bunch of stupid semi-formed ideas thrown together. 1) A spoof of a movie title 2) the word "Him" 3) Mooning...either a butt or the moon. If it's a butt, it's probably Toshi's, simply because his character seems like the type to moon someone for no reason in particular. 4) Honeymoon -gasp!- 5) the capital 'I' in him..."I am him" ....again, I don't think things through. PD)

Warning: Foul language. Quite a bit. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Moon Child.

(a/n) HOLY CRAP I TYPED IT ALL. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER BE ABLE TO WRITE OR PLAY GUITAR EVER AGAIN. I CANNOT FEEL MY HANDS. T.T AND I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. By the way, I'm not actually sure if Toshi and Sho are related, so for all intents and purposes, in all of my fiction, unless otherwise stated, he is just his buddy, and of no blood relation. It will make sense that I'm saying this later, I promise.

Thanks to Cashite-sama, for attempting to read this all the way through. Even though you quit somewhere in the middle of what, the third journal I wrote this story in? I am very grateful. XD Thank you for your patience and such. I'm sorry if your eyes and brain are still bleeding from the strain of trying to read and comprehend this.

ON WITH THE STORY

8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8 (Sho and Kei on the phone)

"And then, I'll whisk you away to Tahiti, and you'll say 'Oh, Sho! My knight in shining armor, I love you, please, let me show my love for you with my sexy, pale body!'"

"Sho, like I'd ever say that."

"Of course you would, Kei!"

"Sho, where did you get this insane ability to make every thought that goes through your mind incredibly insane, tacky, and old movie-styled?"

"From YOU, of course!"

"Like HELL you did, Sho. Were you hitting the bong with Shinji?"

"No!"

"Than it was Toshi's 'Super Special Spazzy Mushroom Pizza?'"

"No!"

"Then what?"

"I guess I was just BORN tacky."

"Perhaps it has something to do with a previous life of yours, eh, Gackt?"

"Gackt? Who the hell is that?"

"Where did you hear that name, Sho?"

"From you."

"No, you didn't."

"Yeah, I did! You said it!"

"When?"

"Just now!"

"I did? Oh, crap..."

"Tell me who he is!"

"Well, during my early years as a vampire, before you were born, there was a famous musician in Japan. He was incredibly -in my opinion, anyway- tacky. Very like you, Sho."

"Huh? Whaddya mean?! Are you calling me tacky?!"

"Yes, Sho. But besides that, he loooved leather. Always, anytime you saw him, there was at least one item on him that was made of leather."

"Seriously? No wonder I remind you of him."

"That's not all. He could be very childish."

"Hey!"

"Don't deny it, Sho. You're a big baby, and we ALL know it.

"Sh-shut up!"

"He was a pervert, too. I remember this one song he had; Vanilla...heh heh heh..."

"Kei?"

"Not only that, but he was--no. You'll get pissed."

"Huh? What is it, Kei? Tell me!"

"I don't know...are you sure?"

"YES!! Tell me, Kei!"

"Okay. He was amazing in bed, too--"

"YOU WENT TO BED WITH HIM?! How could you?!"

"It was before I knew you, Sho--"

"So?! Kei, did you even KNOW him?!"

"I'll only tell you if you shut up, and let me finish, okay?"

"Fine."

"Thank you. Anyway. So I was in Tokyo -Luka had gone to see someone in Osaka- and I met Gacchan--"

"GACCHAN??"

"Shut up, Sho!"

"Fine. *hmph*"

"Thank you. As I was saying; I met GACCHAN in the airport. He was just arriving from the states, I from London--"

"You lived in LONDON?!"

"Sho. I swear to God, I'll kill you, Sho, if you don't stop interrupting me!"

"Well, I'm sorry, Kei, I can't help it that your life was, is, so fucking interesting! ...I'll shut up now."

"*puff* So. We arrived, and it turned out that due to something with the weather or a health risk or something, no one could leave the airport. The airport had a hotel, and Gacchan immediately got the last room. He saw me, or rather, heard my swearing, and he shouted "HYDE!" He then proceeded to run up to me and hug me like an idiot, while I yelled and tried to break free. He eventually realized that I wasn't this 'Hyde' person, and he felt so bad about his practically molesting me that he invited me to share his room. What is it, Sho?"

"Uh, right. So, the two of you SHARED A BED?!"

"Of course not, Sho! The only time we shared a bed was while we fucked, and well, after we fucked."

"Wh-what?! You had sex with him after twenty minutes, even though it took you fourteen years to even CONSIDER bedding me?!"

"Now, now. That's no where NEAR true! It only took me fourteen years to ACT on it. I had CONSIDERED fucking you QUITE often, beginning right after you hit puberty..."

"K-Kei!"

"What? It's not MY fault that you decided that no matter what clothes I offered you, you chose to wear those thin, see-through, skin-tight gym shorts that you got from a dollar store..."

"Th-they were see-through?!"

"Of course, Sho. Why do you think every time you walked by us Shinji yelled at you to cover yourself, and both Toshi and I ran to the closest seperate places we could find a cold shower?"

"K-Kei?!"

"Oh, COME on!"

"I didn't realize it affected Toshi, too..."

"It affected EVERYONE, Sho, and--wait. You knew it affected me?"

Sho grinned. "Of course! Why ELSE would I wear such ridiculous pants?"

"I often wonder that now..."

"Heh heh...Wait. What's wrong with the pants I wear now?"

"They're the same as the shorts, Sho."

"But they cover my ------!"

"But they're SO tight, you may as well be naked! Which brings me back to my story about Gackto..."

"o_O"

"As I was saying...lessee...ah, yes. So, as we were walking to the room--"

"You said you didn't share a bed, right?"

"The room had two twin beds, Sho."

"You really don't like my--"

"I like your pants, okay? I just don't like how everyone else looks at you when you wear them."

"But I like how YOU look at me when I wear them. *smirk*"

"*blush* Sho! Then...then only wear them when we're alone?"

"We strip so quickly that it won't matter. I could wear plaid flannel and you wouldn't notice."

"That's not true!"

"Oh, yeah?"

"I'm a vampire, Sho. What are seconds to you are hours for me. One 'glance' towards you is like -for me- having you be the only thing I see. You're all there is for me."

"All you want to fuck, anyway."

"That is...partially true. I'll admit to that, like an ADULT, Sho. I admit to my flaws."

"I HARDLY think it a flaw."

"Well, your childness CAN be pretty cute..."

"What's that have to do with anything?"

"As I was saying--"

"Hold on. So when we have sex--"

"If you were the same as me, it'd be like fucking for about a month rather than a few hours. No. Don't even ask. I won't change you, Sho, unless I have another choice. And you're too far away for me to change you now, so put away the gun."

"Damn it."

"Gacchan was annoyingly persistant too."

"Kei!"

"I've completely forgotten my point now."

"You were telling me about...Gackt." came the pissy voice.

"Mn...let's see now...ah, yes. So, he told me on the way to the hotel room that Hyde was his lover. Well, in Gacchan's mind, anyway. He was a bit of a lothario."

"A what now?"

"Look it up later."

"But, Kei! I don't want to!" he whined into the reciever.

"Anywho, so this Hyde person was more or less the man that Gacchan had a crush on. He barely bothered to hide it, if at all."

"Ah, I see--man?"

"You thought he confused me for a woman?"

"It wouldn't be the first time."

"Fuck you."

"Gladly."

"Shut up."

"And behold, he did shut up."

"Hyde, it seems, looked exactly like me, except -at the time- his hair was a little darker than mine. Well this man, Gackt, he was QUITE sexy."

"Hmph."

"It's a compliment to you, Sho."

"How?"

"You're identical. Except, he didn't have your braids. Sho, you would not be half as enticing to me if--no. You'd still be sexy without your braids. Bald, you would be sexy. Military buzz cut even. Hell, you're just damn sexy, Sho."

"How true."

"Dumbass. It seemed that Gacchan was suffering. He loved Hyde-kun very much, but was afraid to truly act on his desires and just fuck him senseless."

Sho stared at the phone in his hand, blushing at his lover's crude language. "Pervert..." he muttered, just quietly enough that Kei couldn't hear it over the phone.

"Which really only confirms my belief that you're his reincarnation."

"What's that supposed to mean? I told you!"

"After fourteen years."

"You didn't tell me!"

"That'd be damn near pedophilia!"

"So?"

"So, that's illegal."

"That's--we're in Mallepa! No one would care!"

"Your brother and Toshi would've."

"They don't now!"

"Yes they do. They mind very much that we're together, but they try not to show it too much outwardly out of respect for you. They realize that this was your choice, and that I realize how dangerous I am."

"You're not dangerous!"

"Only an idiot would think--heh. Nevermind."

"Finish your point! I wanna know exactly how he got into your pants so quickly."

"Long story short, we were both horny, and he wanted to 'practice' so he could work up the courage to be with Hyde-kun, and--"

"That's IT?! You didn't even know if this Hyde guy is real, and you sympathize with him, and you slept--"

"I looked him up on the computer. He was legit, and he looked...well, identical. He even had a picture where he was blonde with his hair slicked back."

"Did he look like you?"

"Of course."

"Kei..."

"Yes?"

"How did they..." he stopped before saying 'die?'"...no. Did they get together?"

"Much to Hyde's fiance's dismay, yes, they did."

"Did they stay together?"

"'Til death did they part."

"They married?!"

"Yes."

"And...we are them?"

"Yes."

"Our fate...will be the same?"

"It could be."

"I-I see..."

"We could get married too, you know."

"What?"

"If you want to, there's no law against it."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I-I love you, Kei."

"I love you too, Sho."

"Kei?"

"Yes?"

"Marry me."

"N-now?"

"Yup. I'm at a church. People have married via webcam before. Why can't we get married over the phone?"

"Sho, we don't have the papers!"

"A-actually, I had Shinji get a lawyer to d-draw them up a w-while ago."

"Sho." Kei was breathless. "I'm...I'm...I'm speechless."

"So? What do you say? Will you marry me right now, Kei?"

"I...I--"

"K-Kei?"

"How could you be so stupid?"

"Kei?" Sho's face fell.

"Of course, Sho. You seriously thought I'd say NO? Idiot. I. Love. You. What do you not understand about that?"

"(Shinji:) Asshole. (Toshi:) Wow. THAT was your vow?"

"What?"

"(Toshi:) You've been on speaker this entire time, Kei."

"E-eh?!"

"(Son:) Wow. And I thought THEY were messed up." Yi-Che piped up, speaking into the phone over her brother's shoulder. "Disgusting. I thought you were the normal one."

Kei glared at his phone. "Frigid little bitch."

"(Sho:) Give me the damn phone. (Toshi:) Swearing in a fucking church! What the hell is WRONG with you, Sho?! Besides the fact that you're in love with...him. (Sho:) Toshi! (Toshi:) At least I didn't call him an 'it.'"

"Sho." Kei used his 'sultry' voice, intoxicating everyone with it's sweetness.

"Y-yes?"

"Marry me."

"O-okay."

8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now, uh, do as you will."

"Wait wait wait wait wait. Hold on a minute. Husband and WHAT exactly?!"

There was a crackling noise as Sho stepped into the apartment. "Wife. He said 'wife.'"

"Sh-sh-SHO!" Kei jumped from his chair and ran into Sho's arms. "Sho...Sho..."

Sho clutched the smaller man to himself. "Here's your ring, Kei. We're married."

"A diamond? I'm not a girl, Sh--wait. I-i-is this...r-real?"

Sho smiled. "The reason that we've been so hard-pressed for money, Kei, and the real reason I went away for so long,"

"You make it sound like you were gone for months."

"I'm sure for both of us, it was years."

"Sho." Kei leaned against Sho's chest.

"They wouldn't marry us here, and I figured it was too close to Chan. But, I kind of took alot of the money from our heists to pay for the ring. Even Toshi and Shinji helped; Son and Yi-Che too, although I don't think she realized what the money was for. Heh heh."

"It's, it's beautiful."

"I love you, Kei."

"I love you too, Sho."

8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8

"You ass, you lied to me! You said you would still be gone for another month!"

"I wasn't lying. I came here to pick up my bride and leave for my honeymoon. " When Sho said he came to pick his bride up, unfortunately for Kei, he meant it literally.

"SHO! Put me down, now! Sho!" Kei kicked and hollered, hiding his grin with his bangs.

"So, tell me the rest of the story."

"Not until you put me down!"

"But it's tradition."

"I don't care!"

"Tell me the rest, and I'll put you down."

"Fine! Alright already! So, we were stuck in this airport for three days. Before you ask, yes, we shared the room the entire time. By the time we got to the room, we were both frustated, lonely, horny, and drunk."

"Drunk?"

"We stopped and got some booze on the way."

"So, when did you start drinking?"

"When I was fourteen. I got drunk at a party an upperclassman invited me to. But that's another story entirely."

"But I want to hear what happened!"

"Luka happened."

"What?!"

"Let me finish this, I'll tell you that later."

"Promise."

"I promise."

"Alright. Then continue."

"So, we got to the room, looked into each other's eyes, locked the door, and...THINGS...happened. For three nights, that was what it was like. It was the best sex I ever had."

"But...But I'm better, right?"

"You ARE him, Sho."

"Answer me."

"No. He was better."

"AAAGH!!" Sho kicked open the door of the apartment complex, leading to the street. The poor piece of wood howled in pain as Sho took his despair out on it with a particularly well-aimed high kick.

"I'm sorry, Sho. This man, his life was all sex-drive. Not that it's a bad thing, but you've only ever been with me."

"That's not true, Kei."

"What?"

"One time, Toshi and I, we got drunk. Really drunk."

"No. I don't want to hear it."

"Kei..."

"I don't care. Just tell me. Where was I?"

"It was before you and I got together, both times."

"BOTH?"

"We were drunk!"

"When, Sho?"

"When I was fourteen, nineteen, and twenty."

"TWICE?? What happened to TWICE?!"

"And when I was eighteen."

"Any more times I should know about?"

"Only those times, I swear!"

"You will pay for it."

"I'm sure I will."

"*fume*"

"If it helps, it was always your name that I called, when, you know...Aw, c'mon, it's not like I was cheating!"

"So, we continued to meet periodically for the next three years."

"WHAT did you just say?!"

"Aw, c'mon, it's not like I was cheeeating!"

"I do NOT sound like that."

"Yes, you do. HE didn't though. AND he knew so MANY tricks..."

"Tricks? Like what?"

"Well, he did this wicked thing with his tongue..."

"When I tried that, you hit me!"

"He was so good...mn...you couldn't help but get lost in the sensations..."

"Kei!"

"You asked. So tell me, how was he?"

"Tight."

"YOU topped?"

"Once I hit puberty. When we were fourteen, no."

"You got drunk when you were FOURTEEN?"

"So did you!"

"I didn't have a choice!"

"There's always a choice!"

"Not when you're being raped."

"Luka--"

"No. Luka saved me."

"He didn't change you?"

"Do I LOOK fourteen?"

Sho mentally stepped back and looked really hard. "No. What happened? Wait--was that all there was to the Gackt story?"

"Pretty much." Sho set him down, hailed a cab, and let Kei get in first.

"Where to, Sho?"

"The airport."

"T-Tahiti?"

"Sorry, Kei." A sheepish look crossed Sho's face. "I couldn't afford it, even if I hadn't gotten you the ring. I promise you, though. I WILL be your knight in shining armor and take you there someday."

"You'll whisk me away for a week?"

"Or longer, if you want!"

"Well, as long as you don't carry me there like *door opens* you're doing *gets out* now! *picked up* Shooo!"

"Chill out, Kei. If you hide your face in my neck, everyone will think you're a flat-chested girl." Still carrying his wife, Sho walked to check-in. "Heck, I don't think it'll matter either way. What do you want to bet that they'll still confuse you for a woman?"

"At the moment, all I have that I can bet is whether or not you sleep alone tonight or not."

"That's still a fifty percent positive out come."

"Do you really want to risk it?"

Sho stopped in front of security. "Not in the least."

"(Security:) Sir, we need to check your passports, papers, and bags."

Sho blankly stared at the man. "And?"

Nervously, the man added, "Please put the young woman down."

Sho grinned, leaning down to whisper in the blonde man's ear "Told ya. We get to--"

Kei glared up at his husband as he stepped down. "My face was hidden, and I didn't bet you."

Sho, yelling, stopped him. "Kei, remember your legs!"

"(Sec:) Sir?"

Sho gave Kei an odd look. "Should I tell him?"

Not knowing what he was up to, and deciding that he probably didn't want to know, he handed Sho the reigns. "Go ahead. You'll do what you want anyway."

"Well you see, Kei here is handicapped. No use of the legs at all."

"Really now? That's terrible." The security guard fidgeted with his hat awkwardly, trying to look intimadating.

"Yes, yes. It's very sad." Sho nodded his agreement.

"Doesn't the kid have a wheel chair?" The security guard asked, still a bit suspicious.

"They wouldn't let me take it on the plane." And Kei came in for the assist...

The security officer's heart melted at the sight of such a young, innocent, beautiful girl being faced with such a terrible obstacle. "Oh, you poor thing."

And he's at the ten, the twenty-- "Quite. So you see, if I don't carry Kei-chan, then we can't get to the plane."

"Couldn't you wheel her at least to the terminal?" Sob story or not, he still had responsibilities.

"We forgot our change for an airport one, and we didn't want to leave my wheelchair here where it could get stolen." And it looks like he's going to make it--

"Don't you have someone who could take it?" The security guard was doing his best to put up a fierce front.

Here, Kei and Sho looked at each other, holding one another's hands and looking very alone. "No. We're all alone; all that one another has."

"No parents? Friends?"

Sho started--"Both dead. And friends? Never had any." Kei received the pass flawlessly--

"So you are brother--" Aw, and an interception by the other team--

"And si--" Sho grabbed his chance, before a steal by his own partner!

"We're siblings, yes." Kei elbowed him, running to the finish line all alone--

"Well, you can go ahead. Straight through that door and take a left. You'll find your terminal there." AND IT'S A GOAL!!!!

Kei politely thanked the man, allowing Sho to carry him just until they were out of the security guard's sight. When Sho didn't let him down, he glared up at the younger man. "Brother and SISTER? Really?!"

"It's all I could think of on such short notice!" Sho laughed, gripping Kei tightly as he used his butt to push open a door.

"Oh, bullshit."

"I thought I was being clever."

"Why the hell did you make up such a stupid story?! I'm an invalid now, who's an orphan with no friends? And YOU'RE the OLDER BROTHER?!"

"YOU said that we had no friends."

"Well, aside from you, that's pretty damn true."

"What about To--"

"No. He still hates me."

"Son--"

"I suppose...but we're not close. More like...acquaintences."

"You're closer than THAT."

"Maybe so, but not by much." Kei boarded the plane.

"It's a miracle! You can walk!" Sho shouted, just in time to see Kei trip on the floor and fall indignantly on his face. "Or not." XD

"Shut your mouth and help me up already." Kei blushed a pretty shade of pink. "Fuck. I think I really DID hurt my leg."

"Poor, uncoordinated Kei," Sho laughed, before adding with a serious look: "Want me to kiss it and make it better?"

"Are you stupid? Of course I don't want that--kiyaah!" He looked down to find that Sho had pushed up his pant leg and was actually planning to kiss hisleg. "What the fuck, Sho?! *smack*"

"What? You used to do that to me!"

"You were like, seven!"

"Nine, actually." They recieved odd looks from everyone around.

"You still had the mentality of a three year old, Sho!"

"If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have gone up to you when we first met."

"What?" He allowed Sho to carry him.

He gently set the blonde man on his feet as they stepped onto the plane and found their aisle. He smiled gently as he put the bags away, the fact that they were married and on their way to their first mystery -to Kei, anyway- vacation spot together.

"F-first class, Sho?"

He smiled as Kei's blush of wonder. "Yeah."

"Wow."

"Kei?"

"Yes?"

"I didn't mean that I thought I made a stupid decision when I decided to be with you. If it had been, I wouldn't need you as fiercely as I do now; we wouldn't still be together."

"W...what if we were?"

"Then there would be no love between us, maybe one sided."

"On whose part?"

"Me, you...maybe both."

"Huh?"

"We would be too afraid of rejection and hate to confess. I can see it now. It would be like it was when you came back."

"Which time?"

"When I was seventeen."

"Oh...what about it?"

"We were so, so stand-offish, it hurt."

"Until you broke down and cried, hugging me so hard that I was afraid YOU would break ME."

"It's not funny, Kei."

"Damn right it's not funny." Kei huffed as he threw himself into his cushy seat.

"Exactly."

"Yes. Athat's the year you had your growth spurt, and overtook me by at least a foot."

"Heh."

"It's not funny!"

"I think so."

"Ah, the image of you...looking so lost, all alone in the world...so tall...you were what, six foot two?"

"Six foot two?"

"How they measure height in the States."

"Is that...good?"

"No! It's not! It's FAR too tall for any normal human being!" As an afterthought, 'Then again, he's never been normal. Maybe...an alien?!'

"How tall are you?"

"mhrm-mmphm."

"Huh?"

"I said -cough-"

"What was that?"

"Five two. I'm five two, Sho."

"..."

"Stuff it."

"..."

"Shaddup."

"Ahahahhahhahhahahahaah!"

Kei -descreetly- punched the shit out of him.

"Ow...Kei, that hurt!"

"And?"

"...asshole..."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

"That's what I thought."

8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are now free to roam about the cabin." The seat-buckled sign flickered off, and just in time too.

"MOVE!" Sho practically jumped over Kei, sprinting furiously to the bathroom.

Kei called over his shoulder, "I told you not to drink alcohol on your first take-off!"

As he chuckled to himself, flipping through the Sky Mall magazine and dog earring several pages, a woman peaked over the seat in front of him. "So...how old is your friend?"

Without looking up, he asked "Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious." came the non-chalant reply.

"Well, keep it to yourself." He muttered, as her friend peaked over the other seat. He winced at her nasaly, squealy voice.

"Hey, what's his name?"

K: "None of your business."

The first leering girl ignored his answer. "Is he dating someone?"

"I--" He was cutoff by the second leering girl.

"Then, he's single?"

"N--" Again, he was cut off by a barrage of questions.

"What's his type?"

"I said n--"

"Is he straight?"

"Would you let me fin--"

"Is he Asian? I think he's Asian."
"Oh, but he's so tall!"

"Would you quit--"

"Hey, how do you know him?"
"Are you close?"
"You've gotta be close, if you know so much about him, right?"
"Yeah, yeah! How long have you been friends?"
"Does he have any girl friends? Like friends who just happen to be girls, not actual girlfriend, girlfriend?"

"DAMN IT, WILL YOU SHUT--" Just as Kei was about to snap, -and by that, I mean their necks- the two girl's lives were spared.

"Would you two kindly stop bombarding MY WIFE with questions, please? She often gets very bad migranes." Sho leaned over the back of his chair, his arms resting on the top, and his braids cascading over his shoulder.

The first girl stared at the beautiful man before her dreamily. "Huh? Wife?"

Kei snapped her out of her dream like state. "THAT'S RIGHT. I'm his WIFE. And I would REALLY appreciate it if you would stop hitting on him." Sho smiled down at Kei.

"Isn't Kei-chan cute when he's trying to decide the best way to kill someone without anybody noticing?" Sho beamed, sliding into his seat and wrapping his left arm around Kei's shoulders.

The more annoying of the two got the picture and sank dejectedly into her seat, pulling her friend down with her. "S-sorry to bother you t-two." She muffled her friend's protests with her hand until she quieted down a bit.

Kei glared down at the man's lap. "Damn those tight pants of yours."

Sho laughed, a humongous grin on his face.

"...What is it?"

"You called yourself my...'wife.'"

"S-So?"

"It was sexy. VERY sexy."

"Don't even think about it."

"Don't think about...what?"

"There is NO WAY that we're having sex on a plane, Sho. NO."

"\P")"

"Sho, I'm telling you! N-no!"

"\P)"

"No. No! I refuse, Sho! REFUSE!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I can't...believe...we just..."

"Joined the mile-high club? -^.^-"

"You ass, you planned that, didn't you? Waited until we were at least a mile up..."

"It's possible."

Kei fumed, trying incredibly hard to ignore how exhilirating it had been.

"It's also possible that I just reeeally wanted to get you naked."

"See, THAT I don't believe."

"You don't? Why not?" He followed Kei back to their seats.

"Maybe if you had said you just really wanted sex, I would've believed you, but..."

"What, you don't think that I like looking at you?"

"Not really."

"Well, why wouldn't I? Kei, you're beautiful and stunning. You're strong, and sexy, and cute. I love every bit of you, inside and out."

"Even my pancreas? My appendix, and other useless human organs?"

"Yup. Even you appendix, no matter how useless it is."

Kei pouted cutely, something he rarely did in the presence of anyone other than Sho, if ever. "If you just wanted to see me naked, then why did we...you know."

"I said I wanted to see you nude, not that I would have any self-control once I did."

"Oh. OH!"

"Besides, I couldn't just leave you there that way...moaning...flushed...and breathing SO HARD..."

"Sh-shut up."

"Okay." Sho reached over, slipping his hand around Kei's.

The blonde man sighed contentedly, leaning against his husband's broad shoulders. He looked through the window into the dark night sky. He glanced around the cabin, finding everyone else was asleep. After a few moments of just basking in each other's presence, he was the first to break the silence. "So where are we headed?"

"It's a surprise."

"Of course it is."

"You don't like surprises?"

"When you live as long as I have, the only kind of surprises left for you are the bad kind."

"Hmph. Well, at least we'll be together whenever a bad surprise happens, right?"

"God I hope so, Sho. God, I hope so."

8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8

"He's kidding, right?" Sho stared at the employee, who was prattling on in some obscure language with an odd accent.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but you will have to stay here until this is cleared up."

"Kei, what the hell is he saying? Hell, what language is he even SPEAKING?"

"He's speaking English. He's saying that we're not allowed to leave the airport."

"What?! Why not?!" Sho yelled, trying his best not to throw a fit.

Kei politely asked in English, "Excuse me, sir, but why aren't we allowed to leave?"

"Employee: There has been an outbreak of a deadly flu."

"Really?" Kei's eyebrows rose.

"Yes. The H1N1 virus, to be precise."

"S-swine flu? Are you serious?"

"Yes ma'am, dead serious."

'What a joke.' "Sho, let's go see if they have any rooms we can stay in for the night.

"Okay." Sho picked up the rolling luggage, and tried to take Kei's bag from him. "Hey, Kei?"

Kei moved it to the other side in the blink of an eye, not planning to let Sho show off. "Yes?"

"Since when do you speak English?"

"I've been able to speak it for a long time."

"Really? Why didn't you teach me?"

"I tried to. The only thing you seemed to remember were nonsensical 'swear words' that Shinji and Toshi taught you."

"Seriously? NOTHING else?"

"Well, you remembered 'Romantic.'"

"That's English?"

"Yes, Sho."

"Oh. Cool!"

"..."

"^.^"

"Look. They have room we can stay in here."

"Clerk: How may I help you, sir?"

'See that Sho?! She called me SIR!!' "Yes, do you have any open rooms?"

Click, clack, came the tap of her fingers flying over the keys. "I'm sorry, sir. We're all full due to all of the flight cancellations."

Sho put the baggage down, leaning across the desk. "Oh, you must have SOMETHING."

"O-oh. Uhm. What do you know? There's one left. Here are your room keys."

"Thank you, miss." Sho took the keys from her with a smile.

The clerk blushed, staring after the beautiful foreigner.

"Wow." Kei took the room key from its protective sleeve.

Sho glanced at him. "What?"

"You charmed her without even speaking the same language."

"I-I don't know about THAT, but..."

Kei spotted a vendor selling beer, and quickly found his wallet in his bag. "Two, please."

"May I see your I.D.?"

"I've got it." Sho showed his I.D. instead.

"Thank you. Here you go."

Kei handed him a beer, sipping the white foam off the top of his. "Are you really so unaware of other's eyes on you. Sho?"

"I'm not COMPLETELY unaware!"

"Oh really now?"

He stopped in front of Kei, leaning down to give him a soft kiss. "I notice when YOU look at me."

"Heh. Well, at least there's that."

"K-Kei?"

"Yeah?"

"Um. Does this all seem a bit...I don't know..."

"Familiar?"

"Yeah."

"A little. Why?"

"Because we're in an airport..."

"M-hm?"

"There's a deadly disease keeping us here--"

"Swine flu? It's HARDLY deadly."

"To vampires, maybe."

"No, with humans too. I've seen it before. It's only mildly contagious, and only a handful of people die of it; most were either old or very young, and the ones that weren't were already sick. The common cold is more deadly. Well, perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point."

"Then why are we stuck here?"

"They're over-reacting."

"Hm. Well, anyway, we're stuck in an airport because of a disease, I got the last room here, and we're sharing it; we just got some beer; we're on our way to getting drunk,"

"And?"

"Remember what you told me about Gackt?"

"Hn."

"It's exactly like that."

"I suppose. It's rather different, but there ARE some similarities."

"What else did you say...he had a thing for some guy, right? I have a thing for you, and regardless of what everyone else thinks, you ARE a guy."

"True."

"But my love for you isn't unrequited. At least, not anymore." Sho smooched his love as he pushed Kei against the door.

Kei unlocked it deftly from behind him, pushing his way in and kicking the door closed behind them, breaking the smooch. "Mn." He turned, walking to the bed and leaning against it, using his arms to support him. "So, how do you suggest we pass the time?"

"You said you would tell me about when you were fourteen."

"Innuendo, Sho. It was inuendo."

"Oh. Um...well."

"You'd rather hear about my life than have sex?"

"Y-yeah. Wait, why not both."

"One or the other, Sho."

"You were talking about a party..."

"So I was. Let's see...I was fourteen. Someone -I think it was either a junior or a senior- invited me to a party. I, of course, didn't refuse. When I showed up, half of the party goers were already wasted--drugs, beer, you name it, they were on it. I was handed a cup--the drink was clear, so I assumed it was water."

"What was it?"

"Vodka, everclear, probably both."

"And you were FOURTEEN?"

"Yes. I took the drink. There was an open spot on a couch, so I sat down. Someone started to talk to me--I answered politely, until the alcohol began to kick in. When it did, my words slurred, and my mind became slush...The person...I can't even remember his face, but, I remember what I was thinking. His face--it was so frightening. I knew what was going to happen...he was going to rape me, and I was too drunk to fight him off."

"Kei..." Sho sat on the bed, putting his arms on either side of him.

"I'm--I'm fine." he sighed, leaning into Sho's warm embrace.

"Did he...?"

"Yes," Kei buried his face in Sho's shirt, clinging to him. "But...but half way through,"

"Go on."

"Someone started yelling at him, and, and they pulled him off, out of, me."

"Do you know who saved you?"

"Luka did."

"Luka knew? Well why didn't you ask him and find out?"

"What? Oh. Um, no Sho, Luka is the one who saved me. That party is where he and I first met. He kicked the crap out of the man who had...hurt...me, picked me up, carried me to his car... The look he had when he asked where I lived...it was so serious, that despite the circumstances, I couldn't help but laugh."

"YOU laughed at someone because they were being serious?!"

"What can I say, I was young and drunk."

"Oh, THAT excuses everything."

"I let you get away with a hell of a lot of stuff just for that reason."

"No, you let it go 'cuz you're a pedophile, and you liked my butt!"

"Be that as it may--"

"Gawd, you're a pervert, Kei!"

"Oh, shut up."

"Heh. So, where DID you live, Kei?"

"The pier."

"Are you serious?!"

"That's exactly what Luka said when I told him. He drove me away from that house, but he didn't take me 'home.' We went to his apartment, and, before you ask, nothing happened. All he did was give me something to help with my headache, and a place to bathe and crash for the night."

"Hold on--you already had a headache?"

"It was my first drink! I was only a kid!"

"Hm, so you've always gotten bad headaches?"

"Yep. Got SO much worse when I met you."

"Hey!"

"He let me sleep in his bed that morning, while he slept on the couch. He--he had dreams. The same dreams over and over until the day he died, just like I have."

"Were his about his creator too?"

"Sometimes. The events in the dreams, he said, were always the same, but his knowledge in the dreams was often different."

"I don't get it."

"His thoughts--sometimes the things he knew in his dreams differed from his conscious mind. His thoughts and dream knowledge were always accurate, but the events of the dreams the same. In a way, it was as if sometimes he could know the future, if that makes sense."

"Do YOU have dreams like that?"

"Only once."

"When?"

"The day Luka died, right before I met you. When you tried to steal my watch,"

"..." Sho blushed at the memory.

"and I grabbed for your hand, I had been having a dream where I knew that I was going to find a reason to live, and I knew I had to protect and love this reason, or I would lose everything."

"Everything?"

"More like I would have nothing to lose. Oddly enough, I didn't want that."

"Who would, Kei?"

"Hn. I just, I just wanted to make sure that SOMEONE remembered me. The thought of being forgotten, of my life having not meant anything to anyone anywhere, scared the shit out of me. I decided that I wanted to be in someone's memories, even if all they did was fear me, at least I would be there, in the back of their mind."

"Bull shit."

"What?"

"You and I know full well that if someone was afraid of you, you would come back from the dead to either set 'em straight, or give them something to be afraid of."

"That's not true?"

"Kei, don't lie to yourself."

"Hmph." He tried to sit up, but Sho grabbed him and set him in his lap like one would a child.

"Don't get pissy, Kei."

"Who's being pissy?!"

"You are."

"So? Maybe I just WANT to be pissy."

"Then be pissy," Sho lifted his chin, "but be pissy while kissing me." He leaned in for a kiss, when--

Kei turned away at the last possible moment, giving Sho a mouthful of blonde hair."Sorry, you chose the story of my life over a physical manifestation of our feelings."

"N-not even a KISS, Kei?!"

"When I woke up," Kei stood. "the next morning,"

"Kei!" Sho followed him like a puppy around the room.

"Which, in reality,"

"Kei!"

"Was only an hour or so from the time I fell asleep,"

"Kei!!" Sho grabbed him, and tried to throw him on the bed, just to find that he was too strong. "Damn, you're strong." he muttered, out of breath.

Kei flopped back on the bed effortlessly. "Luka was still asleep, and all the windows were closed with the curtains drawn."

Sho climbed above him on the bed."Okay..."

"When I tried to sneak out with some food--"

"WHAT?!"

"Don't act like you haven't had to choose between stealing food or starving to death, Sho. Hell, that's how we -you- live now!"

"We don't have to, you know."

"Neither of us have any formal schooling, Sho."

"Kei, you went to school!"

"Over half a century ago! They won't have record of that, and even if they did, they wouldn't believe it was mine."

"Why not start over? You're short enough to pass for a grade schooler--OW!"

"Fuck you. As I was leaving, he stopped me."

"With his MIND?"

"No. He physically stopped me. Stood up, grabbed my arms, closed the door."

"I'm a little disappointed, Kei." Sho resumed trying to kiss Kei's neck, but his head was in the way, and it wouldn't move, so he gave up with a grin. "I would've expected you to go out the window."

"While it is true that I never gave a damn about my physical well being -other than at that party- I wasn't about to break my leg."

"Pussy." Kei grabbed Sho's cheeks (face!) "O-ooow! Kei!"

Kei pursed his lips. "And you call ME a pussy."

"You're the one I always fuck."

"Except for Toshi."

"Enough about that!"

"No. If you didn't want me to say anything, you shouldn't have told me."

"I was coming clean!"

"And?"

"And...and..."

"Luka started to fall -it was daylight outside, so he was weak- I caught him, and figured that after what he had done for me, I couldn't just leave him."

"Did you live together?"

"So I covered him up, after laying him down and I-"

"Kei?" he stopped,.

"-made him a drink-"

"Kei."

"He was so gracious. Even though it was sunny-"

"Answer me."

"-outside, he stayed awake, and we talked. He even took the water." He laughed a melancholy laugh, before the tears slowly came, his painfully strong facade slowling falling away at the memories.

(a/n) A terrible stopping place, but it just keeps going on and on and on and oooooonnnnn...Damn my brain. I can't yell at myself enough for writing something so damn long...yeah, that's right. This chapter isn't anywhere NEAR being even an EIGHTH of what I have written...GAAAAH!!!!! I think this is actually the longest single chappie I've ever written. XD I would like to apologize for the bit of American football 'humor' I tried to throw in there. It started very unintentionally, but once it started, it just couldn't be stopped--!! I couldn't resist the bit about the swine flu...The big 'scare' had just started when I was writing this...
