Home Alone 2.(Takeo Pov.)
The sun peeked through the widow as he felt the body next to him moved. He looked down to see the gray hair of M-21 poking out from the covers his head resting on his chest. Takeo so afraid the last two nights. Afraid if he fell asleep when he woke it would have been all a dream. He started gently playing with his hair. M-21 hair was really soft. It soothed him. He could not remember wen the last time he slept so good. M-21 presence comforted him. The heat and feel of his body pressing against him made him feel alive. In a blink of an eye he when from merely existing, to actually living. He didn't want to go through life on auto pilot any more. He wanted to embrace it, and he wanted to do it with M-21.
Takeo phone when off and he grabbed it quickly. With the hope of not disturbing M-21. "What?" Takeo said knowing by the ring tone it was Tao.
"Well, finale I was getting worried. Is every thing ok? I thought maybe M-21 got himself in trouble again, cause I tried to call him too and he didn't answer either." The concern in Tao voice.
"Sorry about that. I didn't have my phone." Takeo looked down and seen 15 missed calls. "Wow "Takeo thought I didn't realize that my phone had gone off. He would be in so much trouble if he missed a call from the boss(Frankenstein) or the Master. He was good thou they were all from Tao.
"So what were you guys up to? Did you have a party at the house when mom and dad are away?" He could hear Tao snickering on the other end of the phone. Tao had a habit of calling the boss dad and master mom. Takeo could picture it in his head and it was kind of true. Frankenstein was like the overly protective, excitable high-strung father and Rai was the mother who had to calm him down before he killed the kids. The next thing he heard was, "I know you two got drunk since Dad hates it when you two get drunk."
Takeo growled, " look you woke me up. I do get to sleep in on the weekends you mknow."
"ok, excuse me for caring. I was worried, honestly you could have picked up at lest once. Oh well I'll see you in a bit anyways should be home after 12pm."
Takeo apologized again and said, " next time I'll will. If I feel like it. See you soon by." With that he threw his phone on the table by the bed.
"Tao ,"M-21 said as he sat up in bed.
"Yea , he said he was worried cause we didn't answer our phones. He'll be home after lunch some time." Takeo said then M-21 looked shocked.
"I forgot all about my phone. I think it's still on the charger in the living room." M-21 shot out of bed.
"Relax if Master or boss called they would have called me too. I only have missed calls from Tao." Takeo said as he watch M-21.
Something was wrong, he could feel it. M-21 stood there looking at the ground. Takeo got up and embraced M-21 from behind. He started kissing down M-21 neck. Takeo could fell his heavy breathing and M-21 squeezed his arm.
The squeeze felt like he was holding on afraid to let go. All of a sudden M-21 pulled away and informed him he was going to get dressed.
Before Takeo could say anything he was gone.
Takeo laid on his bed looking at the ceiling thinking, "what the hell just happened." He laid there not knowing for How long but he threw some clothes on and started brushing his hair. Why did he act like that he thought. He wouldn't even look Takeo in the eye. Friday night when they started all this he gave him a chance to stop and he didn't. What happens between now and then.
He went slow. Every now and then M-21 body would tense up, like he was remembering something. Maybe from a experiment or his past. Either way it seemed to be a painful memory. Takeo would stop and hold him. Talk to him and stroke his hair till he could feel his body relax. Saturday they seemed fine after they were done with their house hold choirs for the day, Ate and cleaned up. Takeo lead him too the bedroom. The spent a wonderful night exploring each other's body. Kissing till they were gasping for air. Till they woke up this morning.
The more Takeo thought the angrier He got. Takeo finished putting up his hair, and stormed out of his room.
He headed through the living room to the kitchen. M-21 was standing there at the sink. He looked like he was rinsing out a cup, but all he was doing was watching the water run.
"Are you ok?"Takeo said a little more irritable then he meant to.
"yea, I'm going out for bit." M-21 said as he put the glass in the drain rack. When he tried to walk be Takeo, to both their surprise Takeo grabbed M-21.
"No you are going to talk to me now." Takeo said M-21 tired to leave but Takeo tightened his grip. " I gave you the option to run away. You said you'd deal with it, now deal. Tell me what happened from last night till now to make you act like this."
M-21 just looked at Takeo. In his winter gray eyes Takeo could see pain, hurt, confusion and fear. Mostly fear, he was terrified. Of what thou, of him, of being together or. Then it dawned on him M-21 was afraid of every one finding out.
"21 do you regret what we did?" Takeo said loosening his grip a little.
"No it's not that, will you just let me go." M-21 huffed as he tried to pull away again.
"I told you I would not let you go. Now pleases 21 tell me so I can help you." Takeo went to reach for him but M-21 hands changed and he used his power to break free.
M-21 looked shocked. Takeo couldn't believe he transformed to get away from him. Then he said in a shaky voice, "help me, you can't help. Life is not some fairytale where all your dreams come true. What good is it to achieve one dream if you lose another. I'm not going to loses what I've got. I don't want to lose my new family. That includes you."
So it's true. He's terrified of every one finding out. "Don't you trust me? Do you think I would have done something that would have jeopardize are life here." Takeo looked at him M-21 sat on the couch and put his head in his hands.
M-21 sighed, " you are just so damn optimistic. Can't you ever see the glass as half-empty. You know that's one of your most annoying traits."
Takeo chuckled, " oh I do, believe me. I never thought I would be here with you. I didn't even think I hade a chance at a normal life and I never thought I would part of a family."
"How can you be so sure?" M-21 whispered. Takeo takes M-21 hand. Interlocking their fingers he then pulling M-21 face till he was looking at him.
"Well because our family that we have now has shown more human compassion, acceptance and love than anyone has ever and their not even human. Boss think of us as his children and all a father really wants is for his children is to be happy. Plus you didn't see how crazy he got last time you went missing. Walking around ranting about how dare some one take one of his kids."
A smirk started to form on M-21 face. Takeo laughed as he continued, " Rai probity knows cause I've caught him smirking at me while I've be staring at you. He can pick up what people feel. Regis would welcome the new material to use as ammunition for your little battles . Seira always saying you should follow your heart. 21 you are so clueless and that's one of your most adorable qualities."
Takeo started to caress M-21 jaw line with his thumb. He could feel the heat coming off his skin as M 21 face turned red.Takeo smiled he leaned in and whispered in his ear, " when you have this look on Your face it drives me crazy."
Takeo pressed his lips to M-21s. It was a soft-warm kiss. He didn't want to scare off M-21 again so he started to pull away, but to his surprise M21 seized his lips kissing him with hunger and greed. Takeo managed to slide his tongue into M-21 mouth. They lost they self in the wave of emotions that crashing through their body's. That was until the were slapped back to reality by the sound of someone saying, "what the fuck? So this is what the hell you two have been doing all weekend!"
They jumped but when they looked up no one was there and they heard what he assumed was the slam of Tao bedroom door. After some convincing M-21 promised he would wait in the living room for him to comeback with Tao to talk. He kissed M-21 on the forehead and headed to drag Tao to the living room. Its going to be a long day.
