Outdoor School and Soubi
By: Theressa
Chapter One
"Ritsuka, you're going to Outdoor School in two weeks? You are going, correct?" asked Soubi, a dirty blond-haired adult, looking at a black-haired boy reading a manga book named Loveless by Yun Kouga.
"Yeah, I'm going. My mom actually agreed to sign the permission slip." responded Ritsuka, looking up from his manga book to shyly smile at the earless adult.

"Mom, c-could you sign this, please?" asked Ritsuka, shaking gently as if he saw a ghost, but was not sure if he was seeing things. "I-it's a permission slip for Outdoor School."
"Huh. . .?" a long black-haired woman looked at Ritsuka. "Of course, Ritsuka. How long will you be gone for Outdoor School?"
"F-five n-n-nights and s-six days." answered the earless boy, embracing himself for anything that might happen and handing the paper to his mother.
The mother took the paper from Ritsuka's quivering hand. While reading the paper she asked for a pen, having Ritsuka jump to his feet to find a pen. He found a bold-point pen and handed it to his mother. She was about to sign the small form, but then she paused, the pen centimeters away from the "x" that was followed by a very long line for a parent's signature.
"If I sign it and let you go, you won't lose Ritsuka's cat-ears, will you?" the mother asked her son, her voice sounding as if she murdered thousands of times and the guilt never brought her down.
This caught Ritsuka off guard. He already lost his cat-ears so why was she asking such a question. Then, it hit him. Soubi must have put a spell on him to make it look like he had not lost his ears to his mother's eyes.
"No, mother. I wouldn't do that to your 'real' Ritsuka. They're his cat-ears. . .Not mine, mother." he replied, lying to his mother.
"You promise?"
". . .Yes, mother, I promise."

"How interesting. . .? That sorry excuse for a mother is actually letting you go?" asked the disbelieved adult, watching as the black-haired boy's expression change.
"She's not a sorry excuse for a mother. If she were, I wouldn't be alive. Besides, you're a sorry excuse for a lover." accused the boy.
"Correction! If it weren't for for Seimei or I, you would be in the hospital, slowly being devoured by death." said Soubi, walking towards Ritsuka. "And I am a wonderful excuse for a lover. Would you like to test that theory out?"
"S-shut up! I. . .I" angrily whimpered the earless teenager, but then he changed the subject and his mood. "How about we test that theory of yours, Soubi?"
"Don't change the subject, Ritsuka. Finish what you were going to say." lightly scolded Soubi, grinning at the now pouting teenage boy.
"Shut up, stupid." whispered Ritsuka, looking away from Soubi.
Soubi grabbed the boy's chin, tilted it so that blue eyes and violet eyes were looking at each other. "Is that an order, master?" teasingly toyed the adult.
"No, but this is." Soubi looked into violet eyes of lust. He smiled at the boy. "Soubi, kiss me."
"As you wish, master." replied the adult, brushing his lips gently against the earless teenager. Then, they deepened the kiss, each embracing the other. The two earless males then decided to end the day and begin the night with lust for each other.
