A/N: Yay! I'm starting a multi chapter (in spite of my laziness). I just need to get this out of my head. This bunny has been bothering me for weeks!
Anyway, I kind of wanted to make this more of a Romance/Hurt/Comfort/Angst story but I'm not really that good in writing those genres. Heheh... yeah, I suck... However, I'm going to do my best to incorporate them into this fic. I'm the type to just write humor and shit so I input Humor as a genre. KonoEne interactions and Shintaro just screams humor!
Disclaimer: I do not own KagePro or any of its characters. Blah blah blah... Shit like that...
On with the story.
"Shit."
Shintaro grumbled as he walked to the base the second time today. The sun shone brightly and was generous in radiating heat in every possible way. The intense hot air obscured his vision and the sidewalks seemed ready to fry eggs.
He hated every fiber of it.
How unlucky was he that he had forgotten his phone with the Dan? He only wanted to go home after being sure that his little sister was, in fact, not walking into trouble and was only spending time with their group of friends.
He couldn't believe that he had actually considered just getting it back the following day with Ene flying around his phone's screen. He especially didn't need her blurting out things about his hidden folders nor did he need her spreading out rumors about soda porn.
He was about to collapse when he was finally in front of the door 107, but he fought against it and pushed through with the remaining energy he had left. He wiped sticky beads of sweat, grossly rolling down his neck.
Afterall, he had to save his dignity first.
He entered the base and surprisingly nobody was there to greet him. What could they be doing out in that kind of heat? He searched around for his phone which he remembered he'd placed on the dining table.
He headed towards the kitchen, trudging as if he were the undead and muttering the word 'phone' instead of 'brains'. He finally reached the dining table and discovered that his phone was no longer there. They must have tagged her along.
Shintaro groaned in exasperation. He sat on the dining chair, frantically pulling at his short black hair. All his efforts to walk back here were in vain. He could already feel it. He could already feel that death was approaching him. He was tired and sweaty. His eyes threatened to close almost too frequently.
"I'm going to die," he muttered. "I'm going to die... I'm going to die... I'm going to die..."
After much melodrama, Shintaro decided that he'd just take the liberty of getting himself a glass of water which made him feel slightly better.
Telling himself that he was too tired to walk back home, he was resolved into just lounging about in the base and waiting for the others to return.
"Ene couldn't have done much damage now, could she?" he tried to assure himself. "But, then again..." A surge of paranoia was creeping its way back into the deep crevices of his mind. He shook his head as a way to dismiss it.
He let out a long sigh as he walked towards the living area. Yes, he was going to enjoy the wonderful air-conditioning and watch television. Maybe he'd even pick out a game and fire up the console.
He thought of all the pleasures he could indulge himself into in his sweet alone time. No little sister, no Dan, no loudmouth cyber-girl...
"Uwah!" Shintaro yelped as he tripped and landed his face on the floor. He swore that his nose was broken when he sat up. He searched for whatever he'd tripped on and found that it was the android boy collapsed on the carpet, snoring as he closely held a black phone.
"Ah, found it!" Shintaro cheered, now considering that he could (ab)use the Dan's Wi-Fi while he was here.
He peeled Konoha's fingers from his phone. He rose from the floor then stared down at the albino. He couldn't possibly move this guy from where he already was because (a) Shintaro was tired as hell, and (b) Even if he wasn't tired as hell, he had thin noodles as a lame excuse for arms.
"Hey." Shintaro kicked the boy softly. "Konoha, you fell asleep on the floor, again," he tried to wake him up.
He was only answered by snoring in return.
Oh well, there was nothing Shintaro could do anymore, was there? So he decided to leave the big guy sleeping on the floor.
He unlocked his phone, excited of the wonders he could do with the internet! His dreams were shattered when a blue virus was the first thing he saw on his screen.
"Master!" Ene's face occupied the entire screen as she pressed herself against it.
Shintaro laughed. He was a fool thinking that peace and quiet actually existed.
"Master!" Ene repeated, pressing her face even closer to the screen. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her voice was frantic. It was obvious to Shintaro that something bothered her.
"What is it, Ene?" Shintaro boredly asked her, his other hand finding the remote and flipping on the television. He flipped through the channels, only intending to half-listen to what Ene had to say.
Ene whined, evidently upset by Shintaro's lack of attentiveness. "Master, if you don't shut that stupid television off, I guess I would have to mass e-mail pictures from the 'Shintaro's most embarassing moments ever'-folder!"
Shintaro instantly pressed the off button on the remote to appease the little abomination that enjoyed rearranging his folders, deleting his files, and blackmailing him.
"Okay, okay," he said to calm both Ene and himself. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Master, we have a problem," Ene told him, her brows furrowing even more. Her blue twin tails seemed to flutter rapidly like butterfly wings. Shintaro was finally infected by her panicky state.
"What? Why? What's the matter, Ene?"
Ene pushed away from the screen and floated aside to reveal a white haired boy sitting on an icon. Shintaro's eyes shifted to the albino snoring at the floor then back to the conscious identical being in his phone.
"K-Konoha?" Shintaro's voice was laced with disbelief. "Is that you? How...?"
Konoha's pink eyes wandered for a moment before they rested on Shintaro. His expression was blank as always. There was a minute of complete silence between them. All that could be heard was the humming of the air conditioner and the honking of cars outside. Shintaro was tempted to speak but it seemed that Konoha had something say. The quiet persisted for a few more moments as Konoha continued to stare up at him.
Konoha began to open his mouth. His voice was monotonous and Shintaro's desire to die returned as he uttered a single syllable.
"Hi..."
A/N: So tell me what you think! I want to know whether it's worth continuing~
