Dairey: Hi nice readers.
Syns: This time no Keyshipping story.
Dairey: Nope this one is Sharkbaitshipping. Hana 13 asked it me very nicely so here it is. And about the other requests I coming to it to. Just have a little patience :-)
Syns: Especially FuyaxYuma. She is going to wait until that episode come out when he come back into the picture.
Dairey: Until know you have to do it with this story.
Feet were running fast on the sidewalk. Each time they stepped in a pool, the water splashed in all directions.
Yuma groaned. Why? Why in all moments it has to rain now. He tried to hold the grip of his umbrella while the wind did his best to blow it away. His shoes got all wet by the rain and the pools.
Moments ago Yuma was headed home from his second day of the tournament he notices how the sky grew dark with grey clouds. He was glad when he got home before raindrops started to fall.
Unfortunately, when he was taking off his shoes his Grandma asked him to do a couple errands. Yuma first started to protest and whined that it was raining. But one look on his grandmother stern face and he quickly changed his attitude.
He put his shoes back, grabbed an umbrella and raced out the house. Yuma wasn't troubled by the rain until he was heading back, when the raindrops then started to fall fast and hard.
Yuma mental slapped himself for forgetting his rain jacket. Although the umbrella protected him from the raindrops, the jacket would be very helpful against the wind. He shivered from the cold.
Right now he was jealous of Astral. The spirit was right now inside the key, away from this rainy weather.
Yuma waited impatiently for the traffic light to turn green. "Come on, you stupid light. Turn green already." He grumbles.
It was then he notices a lonely figure on the other side of the street. Yuma tried to see who it was when he notice the familiar dark purple hair matching the dark purple jacket and black pants.
"Shark? What he is doing outside in the rain?" Yuma wonder.
Shark kept strolling not noticing Yuma across the street. His clothes were soaked by the rain and his hair lay flat instead in it usually hairdo. It was clear to Yuma Shark had been out in the rain for a long time.
"That guy. Is he trying to get sick?" Yuma said.
When Yuma had green light he crossed the street fast to the catch up with Shark.
"Shark! Wait!" Yuma shouted. Shark didn't hear him because of the wind and the rain. Yuma then accelerated, gaining on Shark.
"Shark! Hey Shark!" Yuma shouted again when he thought he was close enough. This time Shark did heard him. He turned to see Yuma catching his breath before him.
"What do you want Yuma?" Shark asked in kind of a demanding way.
"What are you doing?" Yuma asked.
"I think it calls 'walking' Yuma." Shark sighed.
"That's not what I meant. I mean: what are you doing in the pouring rain?" Yuma said irritated. "Do you want to get sick?"
Shark just shrugged.
"Do you have a place to stay?" Yuma asked.
Shark didn't answer. "Hello? Shark? Do you have a place to stay?" Yuma repeated. The purple haired boy sighed and shakes his head.
Yuma felt bad for Shark. Did he really have no place to go? What about his home? Wasn't he welcome there? "Well I am not leaving you in this rain." Yuma said. He grabbed Shark's hand and started to pull him towards his home.
"Yuma, where the hell are you taking me?" Shark shouted in surprise.
"Where do you think? To my home of course." Yuma said while he tried to shield him and the other boy from the rain.
"I don't need your compassion." Shark snapped trying to free his hand.
"This has nothing to do with compassion. You're my friend and I don't leave my friends on the street in this weather." Yuma answered.
Shark sighed. No matter what he said, Yuma wouldn't let him go. Shark knew Yuma didn't take 'no' for an answer. So he let the red eyed boy dragged him home. Both didn't said a word or look to each other. It was then that Shark notice how soft Yuma's hand was.
He wanted to close his hand around Yuma's, intertwine their fingers. But a voice in his head stopped him. 'Does that boy mean that much for you? Interesting. Well for me of course.'
Shark tried to get the voice out of his head. He growls under his breath. Great, even now he is ruining everything. Luckily to him, Yuma was too busy guiding Shark home to notice his angry face.
Again, they have to wait before a traffic light. It was then that Shark noticed how Yuma was shivering.
"You didn't forget an umbrella, but you did forget a jacket?" Shark grinned with one raised eyebrow.
"Yeah well, you would run out of the house to if you saw my grandma's stern look." Yuma said defensive.
Shark shakes his head. He started to remove his purple jacket and lay it over Yuma's shoulder.
Yuma looked at him surprising. "I know my jacket is wet, but it will shield you against the wind." Shark explained without looking at Yuma.
Yuma just smiled. "Thanks."
"Whatever." Shark responded.
After a couple minutes they reached Yuma's home. When they entered, Yuma's grandma greeted them. "Ah Yuma you're back. And who is this nice fellow?" She asked.
"This is Shark grandma. Is it alright he can stay here for the night?" Yuma asked.
"Of course sweetie. Any friend of you is welcome." She said. "Use the extra mattress in the storage room. I think there is enough place in your room."
"Thanks grandma. Come on Shark, I will give you some clothes so you can get out those wet one." Yuma said, pulling Shark to his room.
While Yuma was looking for clothes for Shark to wear, he examines Yuma's room. He thought Yuma's room would more extravagant. But this room looked like any other. Until he notice the ladder. He climbed up to end in the attic full with old artifacts.
"Why does Yuma have all this stuff?" Shark wondered when he heard Yuma entering.
Yuma gave Shark a grey jogging suit with bright green strips at the side. "It's maybe not your style, but is dry and warm." Yuma grinned.
Shark took the jogging suit from Yuma before he glared at the boy, who was looking at him with a smile.
"Do you mind?" Shark asked.
"Mind what?" Yuma wondered.
Shark rolled with his eyes. "Would you mind turning away? I am not going to undress myself before your eyes."
Yuma started to blush. "Oh right. Sorry." He said then he turned with his back to Shark.
When Shark was sure Yuma didn't see him he started to undress. Yuma heard the sound of wet clothes being removed and throw on the floor. He suddenly realized that Shark was undressing himself in his room.
He felt his cheeks burning. Carefully he turned his head so could peek with one eye. Luckily Shark was looking the other way, but he had a good look on his chest. Yuma swallowed. He felt his heart started to beat faster.
Actually he was happy that Shark was here. Happy that Shark didn't continue to argue with him when he pulled the boy to his home.
After the duel with Shark he started to feel something for him. And when they became better friends those feelings become stronger. He had been arguing with himself about what those feeling meant. Only to come to the conclusion that he was in love with Shark.
This also made him sad, because Yuma knew how closed Shark was about his emotions.
Yuma focused back on Shark chest again. In his mind he thought it looked nice. Not too skinny, not too muscular. Just right. He felt a little disappointed when Shark pulled the T-shirt over his chest.
He turned he head back to the wall when he noticed that Shark was all done.
"You ready Shark?" He asked, innocently as possible.
"Yes." Shark answered.
"I will hang your wet clothes on the cabinet in the bathroom so they could dry." Yuma said grabbing Shark's clothes and left the room as fast as possible.
Shark was a little confused about the suddenly reaction from Yuma. "What's wrong with him?" Shark wondered.
After a while Yuma came back. "Grandma said dinner is ready. Are you coming?" Yuma asked.
Shark nodded before he followed Yuma downstairs. During the dinner he didn't say a word. He just sat there, eating and listing to the arguments of Yuma and Akari.
/How does two can live together is beyond me/ He thought sarcastic.
After he and Yuma cleaned up the table and the dishes they went back upstairs again.
"You can take the bed, I normally sleep in my hammock." Yuma explained.
"Why do you sleep there? And what's with the stuff upstairs?" Shark first wanted to say 'junk' but he knew Yuma wouldn't like that.
"Oh those are the artifacts my mom and dad brought from there expeditions." Yuma answered.
"Your parents?" Shark said in surprise.
"Yeah. That's why I prefer to sleep there. When I sleep there I feel close to them." Yuma said with a sad smile.
Shark cursed against himself./Great. Now I made him sad by remembering his missing parents. Nice going you idiot./
"Well, I see you tomorrow. Goodnight Shark." Yuma said before he climbed up the ladder to the attic.
Without a word Shark climbed into Yuma's real bad. But when he was tucked beneath the sheets he whispered: "Goodnight Yuma".
Hours had gone past and still Shark was wide awake. He couldn't get to sleep. His head was full with thoughts. Mostly about the boy who was sleeping above him. After he couldn't take it anymore he throws the sheets off him and quietly crawled up the ladder. He saw the sleeping silhouette of Yuma lying in his hammock.
Carefully, not to waken the boy, he stepped closer to Yuma until he stood before the hammock.
Yuma was sleeping peacefully. The smile on his face showed he was in beautiful dream. His breathing was steady and soft. The moonlit that came through the window, shinned on Yuma's body. Shark thought it made Yuma even more beautiful.
Steady he reached out his hand to Yuma's face. With the back of his hand he stroked Yuma's cheek. He felt how soft it was just like his hand.
Shark closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Why couldn't things be easy? Why must everything be so complicated? He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice that someone had waked up.
"Shark?"
Shark eyes snapped open and looked right into the surprised red eyes of Yuma.
"Shark? What are you doing?" Yuma asked.
Shark opened and closed his mouth several times trying to think what he could say. He looked like a fish gasping for air. In his mind he was thinking of a way to explain this.
But then he felt Yuma's hand on his hand that lay on Yuma's cheek.
"Shark? What's the matter? Please tell me." Yuma whispered softly.
Shark didn't know what to say. He was stuck between lying or telling the truth. He just wanted to run away. But the eyes of Yuma where enchanting him. Yuma's deep red eyes where sparkling by the light of the moon.
"Shark?" Yuma asked wondering why Shark didn't answer.
"Yuma I..I am. I mean you… I." Shark stuttered.
Now Yuma was really worried. Shark never stuttered. He sat up straight, placed his hands on Shark's shoulders.
"Shark just spit it out will ya." Yuma said feeling worried.
"Yuma I .I…"
