SHINY SHINY

FF for Blue Exorcist. I'll never own this, no matter how much I want Rin to take him home with me (Rena blushing)! TT^TT

Pairing: Bon x Rin. The story is named for a song that is actually the ending theme to Deadman Wonderland. And only because I felt like naming it as such.

Note:

A FF I read by Imadra Blue (The Post Succubus Grind, go read it!) and another ff I read featuring these two turned me on to this pairing. Thanks for such great ffs you guys! I hope mine will turn out well! Honestly, I didn't think I'd like a BR pairing, but now I do 3. I was honestly into SR, (not Shiemi, Shima. I like Yukio x Shiemi). But yeah, we all love Bon, right? And if you don't, I said you do now because you're just not aware of your love yet! 8D Lemony lemons.

BTW, I like to call Bon "Sugi", so I couldn't help myself. Reviews & constructive criticism are always welcome! Please tell me how I did on portraying the characters .!

C1: It was raining

The rain was pounding against the windows of True Cross Academy with a deafening sound. All outside activities were cancelled due to the heavy storm. Rin was sitting in the room by himself. He had no idea where Yukio was, and it irritated him. He was irritated because Yukio's absence caused a realization to dawn on him:

He was bored. That was the miserable reality of it.

"The hell, Yukio!" Rin yelled, pounding a fist on the window. "Why did you leave me?"

Rin finished his tantrum in five minutes. Now that Yukio was gone, he could read his manga! He walked over to Yukio's side of the room and went rifling through the drawer under Yukio's glasses drawer. There were various pens, pencils and notebooks, which were full of lesson plans for the class. Rin made a mental note to look at them later. Under that drawer, were several books, one of them titled "Exorcist Code of Conduct for Good Exorcists, mandated by The Vatican". Rin shut the drawer quickly and opened the next. Bingo! But there was only one book. There was a yellow sticky note on it. "Rin, I knew you were going to look in here, so this one's for you." It said. Rin took the book out and took the note off, smiling.

"Yukio! You do love me!" Rin exclaimed happily, falling over onto his back on the floor.

The manga was called "Demon Lover" in curly black kanji and katakana. On the cover there were red and pink roses, with a rather pretty big-eyed boy with two horns sticking out of his head. He had on a white dress shirt that was too big for him and no pants. Rin opened the book. Ohhh… it was a boys' love manga. So that's why the boy on the cover was so pretty.

Rin read it with great gusto in no time at all. On the last page of the book, just as the little demon Yo-chan confessed his love to up-tight businessman Tachibana-san, it said in the corner of the panel "To be continued in volume two!" Rin turned the page. There was another yellow sticky note. "Sorry, Suguro has the second volume." Rin sat up slowly. And threw the book at Yukio's chair.

"Damn!" Rin stood up fully and stretched. What was Suguro doing with the book in the first place? He had to see if Tachibana-san accepted Yo-chan's confession! What if he didn't? Poor Yo-chan! Rin sniffled, wiping his wet face. He didn't think he could take it if Tachibana-san refused; it was such a heartfelt, beautiful confession! This is why he was marching out of his and Yukio's dorm right now and going to Suguro's, Kurikara strapped to his back.

"Bon!" Rin pounded on the door. "Hey! Bon!"

"I told you not to call me Bon!" Suguro answered the door a few minutes later, looking very, very annoyed at Rin's presence. He was holding the manga in his right hand, his thumb wedged between the pages. "What is it?"

Rin pointed to the book. "Gimme the book!"

"What? No!" A slight blush appeared on Suguro's face. "I haven't even finished. Come back later." He closed the door.

"Bon!" Rin pounded on the door once more. He wasn't going to take "no" just like that! What the hell! "Boooooon!"

"What! And stop calling me that!" Suguro snapped, opening the door once more. Really, he should know better than to open the door again, but something told him that Rin would just stand outside banging on his door all day until he got the book.

"What should I call you? Sugi?" Rin said, pushing past Bon and stepping into the tidy dorm room. "Wow, you're really neat, Sugi."

"Don't call me that either!"

"Then what can I call you?"

"Suguro!"

"But that's not fun."

"So what!" Suguro said, sighing as he sat down on the floor across from the bed. He opened the book back up and started to read again.

Rin sat down behind him and peered over his shoulder. "…damn that Tachibana." He said, leaning in closer to get a better view.

"Your hair's tickling my shoulder." Suguro snapped, blushing at how close Rin was. He could feel the other boy's body heat. He was going to say something about it when something in the manga caught his attention. "…how could he say that to Yo-chan?"

Rin ignored Suguro's first comment. "Yeah! Tachibana's so mean."

In the next hour they finished the book and Rin was reduced to tears.

"Okumura… why are you crying?" Suguro asked, not really believing what he was seeing. Well, this was Rin, so… but still, Suguro hadn't expected Rin to break down and bawl like a girl. "It wasn't that serious."

"God. That was beautiful." Rin sniffled, wiping his face. "I'm happy for Yo-chan…ngh!" A fresh waterfall of tears ran down his face. "So fucking wonderful…!"

"Do…do you want a tissue?" Suguro stood up and picked up a box of tissues off the nightstand. Not that he was one to get sick or cry for that matter; it was for smashing bugs in Shima's room. "In fact, take the whole box." He handed the box to Rin who took it and started to blow his nose.

"What're we gonna do now, Sugi?"

Suguro looked at him incredulously. "What? We aren't doing anything. Get out already."

"But I don't have anything to do."

"Well, find something. It's not my problem."

"I'm going to find something to do when you do."

The rain was still pouring. "I'm going to study for the exams."

"I'll do that too, then." Rin took out the hair clip Suguro gave him and pinned his hair back. "Yup, I'm all set. Let's do it."

Suguro shook his head slowly. "That means you should leave, dang it!"

Rin was not paying attention. "Hey! Take out the text books! Let's get it on!"

*one death of Bon later*

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me out to… Rin! Wake up!"

Suguro's voice sounded very far away in Rin's ears. He was miles away in his dream at a particularly sunny beach, Shiemi was there too. She had been wearing the cutest little bathing suit. It fitted her well.

"Rin! Wake up, you idiot!"

And somehow Suguro was there as well; his tanned back shiny with water. His back was like looking at the Statue of David that he'd seen in textbooks- well-sculpted and beautiful. Shiemi was jiggling out of her top and Suguro was getting ready to turn around. Rin was going to really enjoy this. That was until he felt a hard knock on his head that made him sit right up. "Owwww! The hell was that for?" He snapped at Suguro who was sitting next to him.

"We're supposed to be studying and you're sleeping! That's what that was for!"

Rin was still rubbing his head. "You're so mean to me."

"Like Tachibana? Yeah, sure. Shut up and study."

"I want you to touch me like Tachibana." Rin said, looking Suguro right in the eye. When Suguro hesitated, he looked away and hastily added, trying to not look crestfallen, "You don't have to if you don't want to. I-I'm just hard and I wanted you to touch me but I can take care of it myself and… shit. Shit! Never-mind." He turned away from Suguro, his shoulders slumped slightly.

Suguro was very surprised. But… he stared at Rin's dark blue hair, at his back, at the sliver of pale skin showing where his shirt rode up…

"Rin."

"What? I'm leaving, really-"Rin started to say as he stood up. Suguro grabbed his wrist and Rin turned to face him, his cheeks flush beet red. "What?"

Suguro stood up. He kind of felt like he was towering over Rin, and not just because he was taller. "…I didn't say I didn't want to touch you. That's not… what I meant." He rubbed the back of his head, swallowing. "It's just…"

Rin was staring at the floor. "Let go of me." But he didn't move. When Suguro didn't let go, he looked up and smiled, though he was trembling slightly. "Look. You didn't hurt me, alright? I'm fine. See?" He jerked his hand out of Suguro's grasp and picked up the manga off the floor. "And, uh…thanks for this." And he left.

Suguro was going to say something, but it died in his throat. He just stood there looking at the door for a long time, and then he sat back down and continued to study.
