Ritsuka had a problem.

He had only just turned sixteen when it had started. First, it had only happened in the safety and privacy of his room, but now they were becoming more frequent and random: happening in the middle of a lecture, during lunch, and even at the park where a minute ago he had just been spacing out. His problem was embarrassing to no end and even though he tried very hard to cover it up, he could never seem to hide the not quite so faint blush that lit up his cheeks.

Ritsuka had fought very hard with himself over whether to tell his blonde-haired fighter, and in the end his common sense lost and Ritsuka proceeded to tell Soubi, albeit very flustered, what exactly had been bothering him.

Now Ritsuka had a different problem, for after he had told the man of his troubles Soubi had simply nodded and pushed Ritsuka onto his bed. He murmured a quiet, "It will be gone," before, as he so simply put it, making the problem 'be gone'.

No, the problem was no longer randomly hitting him for no reason at all, it was now hitting him whenever he thought of the older man, which was more often then he would've liked. Whenever Ritsuka thought of Soubi, he was reminded of the look of understanding that always dawned on the blonde before he would relieve him, was reminded of the wondrous things Soubi could do with his tongue.

It also reminded Ritsuka of the somewhat pained look on Soubi's face when he was done, and Ritsuka always cursed himself after his fighter left because he knew that now Soubi was the one with a problem then, and Ritsuka couldn't help him one bit. Ritsuka decided that he was being too selfish, so the next time Soubi came to help him out, he didn't let the older man leave immediately.

Soubi had been quite confused at that time when Ritsuka had pulled him on top of him and kissed him fiercely for Ritsuka never did that. But a blush on the younger boy's cheeks as he tugged at his ears for a second before whispering nervously, "I think you should take them now." Soubi, being as obedient as he was, made no act of protest.

When Ritsuka arrived at school the next day without his ears or tail there was not a person there that didn't stare, not even Yuiko and Yayoi. Ritsuka didn't mind though, as long as his problem is under control. Ritsuka doesn't really mind his problem anymore because with Soubi around, it's infinitely more bearable.


AN: Well... that sucked. I love Loveless but, I dunno... I'm not happy with this, not at all. Tell me what you think. Yes that's right, REVIEW!!
