A/N: Hey hey! This is my second try. XD I hope you all like it. Oh- and, please tell me if there are any grammar errors, please!
It was only this morning that Mitsuo decided to invite two of his dearest friends, Hasunuma and Ichi, to join him in his daily endeavor to get closer to Kanau. Usually, Mitsuo went alone. The times when Hasunuma and Ichi joined him were few and far between- only once or twice in about two weeks; they didn't seem to like the idea of going to such a troublesome place. It was actually quite a surprise that Mitsuo was even able to coerce them both to come along at all.
Even better, mother-nature seemed to be on Mitsuo's side. The sky was bright blue, with a cloud every now and then splashing across the delightful scenery- not too much, not too little. It was the perfect weather, if such a thing can exist. On a day like this, even the spirits quit their badgering and enjoyed the view- up high in the sky, of course.
Predictably, Hasunuma picked up Mitsuo first.
"Hey, Mitsuo? Why do you always go visit Kanau? And why do you always want me and Ichi to be there? It must be plenty fun for Kanau to live with Mikuni."
Mitsuo twirled around in half a step, with an intermediate look of annoyance on his face,and answered Hasunuma. "Why do you keep asking me? I told you already! We're going to the temple because Kanau must be getting lonely! Utterly so…"
Glancing at Mitsuo once before gazing upwards at the heavens, Hasunuma replied. "…Doesn't he have Mikuni?"
"Yes, but Mikuni is just ONE person! Besides, we're Kanau's true friends! After all, we met him first. Besides, how fun do you think Mikunican be? I bet he's making Kanau work his butt off even right now!"
If Hasunuma was right, and he was, he had detected mortification in Mitsuo's tone, ending with a touch of contempt. Personally, he had no qualms with Kanau's living situation. If Kanau wanted to see them, he'd have done something..."Maybe, since we're always 'visiting', Kanau's tired of us bothering him? And I think that Kanau actually likes working- almost as much as I am sure that Mikuni loves bossing him around."
The smaller boy flicked a look into the face of the other, and then turned around, speeding up. It seemed to contain nothing but disgust. "Just because you're jealous of Kanau doesn't mean you have to be so mean." This was, of course, a misunderstanding on Mitsuo's part- just as it always seemed to have been. Hasunuma was not mean, and certainly not jealous! The idea was -almost- painfully absurd. It was just that when Hasunuma looked back, and imagined being in 'Kanau's shoes', he thought that he'd be annoyed at the constant bother. In fact, if he was Kanau, he'd have done something as drastic as beg Mikuni- just to get rid of the unwanted guests.
At Mitsuo's words, Hasunuma started. "No- I didn't mean it that way. I-I just thought… Well, it doesn't matter. I guess you're right. Sorry about that…" It was hard for Hasunuma to admit something that was true (a lie), but it would've been harder if Mitsuo were to start snubbing due to his "jealousy".
Suddenly, Hasunuma found himself hurled into by some sort of being. Typically, it turned out to be Mitsuo. And, due to reflexes, Hasunuma had wrapped his arms around Mitsuo, tugging the boyslightly towards him.There was major confusion at first, but as soon that Hasunuma realized who/what the object was, he calmed down. Mitsuo, on the other hand, had been the instigator- therefore, he was ready and quite proud of himself; he'd only found out recently that he could have this effect. It had a disgustingly sappy feeling to it.
"Ah, that's alright, Hasu." Mitsuo glanced up. "I know you love me!" His smile seemed to radiate some sort of brilliance (must be his uke pheromones acting up…).
Sometimes, Hasunuma regretted being with Mitsuo--no matter HOW happy he looked--, and other times, being with Mitsuo seemed to lift him higher than the clouds.
This moment was the latter.Having the person you love hug you tightly and tell you that they 'love you' is always a good thing. It wasn't every day that Hasunuma was able to slip Mitsuo into this mode.
After a few minutes of comfortable silence, the two arrived at a local convenient store, and waited for Ichi. After about three minutes, the two companions were ready to bicker; they had such short fuses. Hasunuma wished that the person at the register would stop watching them, and Mitsuo wished that he had something to do. It was really hard to be peppy when you were this bored- and standing only three feet from a bunch of angsty teenagers.
After five more long and grueling minutes, Ichi finally arrived, rushing up to them with his clothes unsettled and his hair unkempt (as usual).
"I formally apologize for my lateness! You see, as I was leaving, someone phoned me- it was one of those telemarketers! It kept going on and on about some sort of credit card deal? And then, after I politely told it that I was late for a previously planned rendezvous, I hung up… And I was so close to getting here! But then, my neighbors dog got hit by a car, so I had to help them deal with it… Thank god I headed out an hour early!"
There is a time, in everyone's life, that one feels totally and completely confused. This state of mind can only be triggered if confronted with insane rambling.
Mitsuo and Hasunuma wished they didn't experience this feeling so often. It really makes one wonder.
After a minute of shocked silence, Mitsuo struggled to sound understanding. "Err… It's alright, Ichi. It-it's not like we waited long, right, Hasunuma? Hahaha…" Since Mitsuo is one of those rare people that are sincere all the time, it was impossible for his fake laughter to sound full of happiness and brimming with joy. Instead, it came out as a noise that one would make if thrown into a pit full of books on unreadable philosophy and told to remain in that pit for a long amount of time; filled with nervous creatures, of course.
Mitsuo turned to Hasunuma, with eyes pleading for backup- just to snap open wide at the sight before him. Hasunuma's face was red, and his lips were set into a cold line. His shoulders were shaking uncontrollably. It took a while for Mitsuo to realize that Hasunuma was trying to hold back a generous amount of laughter.
"Y-Yes! It's good that-that you have a reason." Hasunuma's features settled into a forced look of seriousness, and said, "Mitsuo and I were fine. You didn't have to go through so much trouble to join us." It really was sad that he had so much fun picking on Ichi.
Face aflame with embarrassment, Ichi stammered out a reply. "W-well, you-you know wh-what? That's-well-you- Mitsuo want-wanted me to be here, so there!"
"Right, right…" Thoroughly amused, Hasunuma ushered the other two into the direction of the temple.
When all three boys reached the temple, they were abit surprised.It seemed empty. There was no Kanau, rushing from side to side; no Mikuni, looking on like a slave-driver. Just absolute silence.
"…Huh…?" This sound, this primeval, natural sound, issued forth from the mouths of all three boys.
"…I suppose we'd better look for them," suggested Ichi.
Shrugging visibly, Hasunuma silently added, "Despite what we might discover…"
And then, all separated tolook for their friends.
During this…development, in which the three were searching for the temple's inhabitants, something farmore interesting was occurring.
"Ngh…Mikuni…" Guttural pants revealed two people (or, rather, one human and one ghost, one being 'vacuumed' on by the other.
Now, which one was being worked upon? The answer would obviously be the one that looked more uke-ish- in this case, Kanau. But as fate seemed to have it, Kanau was more aggressive than he usually was.
Apparently, Kanau was always very responsive during…such activities. Of course, Mikuni is the seme (therefore, the 'top'). It's just that for everything else-foreplay, the act itself, the afterward (not the 'end', mind you- that's Mikuni's job) - Kanau always found himself on top. Naturally, Mikuni was ALWAYS in the lead; the only abnormality was due to the gravitational laws.
Anyways.
Kanau was just like a leech; he was sucking and sucking on Mikuni's collarbone. Both looked very 'energetic', and raring to go- Kanau in a new cat/maid outfit, and Mikuni in his traditional robes (except, this time, the poor robes were half off-the top- and were slightly askew on the bottom). Mikuni was flat on the floor with legs bent a bit up; Kanau, leaning over Mikuni in an irresistible way. Half-lidded eyes clouded with ecstasy graced both faces, adding to the mounted pleasure. In all, it was a most delicious sight.
And, of all the clichés out there, they were interrupted. Very rudely, too, one might say. Having people walk in on you when you're doing something as carnal as THAT is sure to make you bare your teeth and trounce whoever it was that had interrupted your fun.
"Hey, Mikuni and Kanau! I heard you two, so I—"stopping suddenly, Mitsuo took in the scene.
"..."
"…Oh."
