Prolouge (Or preface, if you prefer)
"Oi, Mamushi!"
Kaidoh stopped in front of the gate, waiting. "What?"
"Don't I get a goodnight kiss?"
Kaidoh's insides went cold. He had expected this. The dumbass couldn't take anything like this seriously. He turned around, a scowl on his lips. Momoshiro was standing at the sidewalk, hands deep into his pockets, a joking smirk playing across his face. A flash of wild hurt stabbed through Kaidoh's abdomen and the scowl grew deeper.
"Is that your way of asking for one, smartass?"
He had just barely kept his voice from quivering. He hoped it was from anger.
The smirk was gone, leaving behind a speechless Momo.
"Well, I... No, I was just-"
"Playing around?" Kaidoh finished, nodding. "Of course. I should've known better. This was just a fucking waste of my time." He turned toward the gate, angrily shoving it open.
"W-Wait, Mamu- Kaidoh, just hold on!" Momo said, his voice filled with bewilderment.
Kaidoh could hear leaves crunching behind him as Momo walked quickly toward him before he felt the hand on his shoulder. With a indistinct snarl that sounded like, "Don't fucking touch me!" he whirled around and shoved at Momo's chest as hard as he could, sending his rival crashing to the ground.
Momo grunted in pain as he made contact with the concrete. Kaidoh just stood over him, waiting for the dumbass to stand. Momo eventually did, keeping his eyes locked on Kaidoh's. Once he was upright, he opened his mouth to say something, but when no words left his mouth he immediately closed it again.
Kaidoh, knowing that Momo wasn't going to talk anytime soon, turned back toward the gate in front of his house. As the gate was already ajar, he stepped past the gate and kicked it back once he was through, neatly latching it shut.
"Kaidoh, come on-"
"Fuck off!" Kaidoh yelled without a backward glance as he stalked up his porch steps, wrenched open the door, and disappeared inside the dark house. Momo watched him go without a word, knowing full well that nothing he could say right now was going to do anything but piss Kaidoh off more.
So, no other option left in his mind (trying to communicate with Kaidoh at this point was just too dangerous), he sighed and turned around, walking back to his own home.
This is just a prolouge, to let you all know if you missed the title at the top. I was trying get this off my chest and it turned out this way. Hope you all like it! =D
Just FYI, the idea for this prolouge came from Ciiah's story "Sweet and Troublesome" with the main pairing being FujiRyo. Unfortunately, the fic will eventually be removed, despite the many fans it has received. I want her to finish really badly, and she will, but she will also remove the fic. I'm putting one of her ideas in this prolouge as a way of getting her fic more attention and possibly have her keep the fic. So make sure to check that story out, please! =))
Review please! They will certainly make my day!
