Author's notes: don't own Weiss Kreuz, sure as hell wish we did, but nope.

And this isn't a shot at pregnant women, either, but its meant to be funny. So while pregnant women aren't like this, a pregnant Aya is.

Chapter 1

Aya's eyes widened as Knight walked into the flower shop.

"Work related, Yuushi?" Aya asked, walking over to him. He couldn't think of anything that the Crashers would need Weiss' help on. Lately the workload had been pretty scarce. It was leaving him stir crazy.

"Does it have to be?" Knight asked with a smile. Aya glared at him, pissed off as he watched Knight hold out a bushel of roses to him.

"Are you out of your fucking mind! I told you I would come to you, you asshole!" Aya all but screamed, shoving him toward the door.

"You don't have to be a prick about it, Ran," Knight straightened as Aya shoved him out the door.

"Apparently I do, because you sure as hell don't listen to me when I'm nice!"

"Don't be like that. Are we still going out tonight?" Aya raised an eyebrow at that. Did he want to go out now? Probably not. He didn't think he'd be cooled off by eight. It was already pushing six.

"Not tonight," he felt bad when Knight's face fell. It was just dinner, what was he so upset about?

"I'll call you then. Have a good night, Ran," Knight leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll try," and he would. As angry of a person as he was, he didn't actually like being angry.

"Read the book I got for you?" Aya nodded, he would. He'd been meaning to start it anyway.

"I'm sorry," Knight gave him a small smile before turning and leaving.

"Who was that?" Yohji asked, startling Aya. Aya turned and looked him in the eye to see if Yohji was teasing him.

"Yuushi Honjou. He's one of the Crashers."

"One of them? You should've at least introduced him to us. It'd be cool to meet another team!"

"You've met other teams before, so why does it matter?" Aya didn't get it. Why was Yohji so excited, it was just another team like theirs, nothing special about it.

"Because its always cool to meet other teams!" Omi joined in.

"He was just leaving anyway," Aya growled.

"Yeah, but only because you threw him out the door. What was all that about, anyway?" Ken asked, stretching. So they hadn't seen Knight try to give him flowers. That was good at least.

"He wasn't supposed to come here. We were supposed to meet at his team's safe house."

"You threw him out for that? That's pretty cold, man, even for you."

"Yeah, but then again we all know how anal Aya is about schedules and shit," Yohji chuckled.

"You three will meet him eventually, I'm sure, with him pulling stupid shit like that, now drop it!" Aya warned. Omi and Ken at least turned around and went about their business.

But why was Yohji staring at him like he'd grown another head.

"Is there a problem?" Aya snarled, ready to attack right in front of the fan girls. He didn't care right now. Knight had put him in a mood.

"I haven't decided yet," Yohji teased, but his eyes were serious. Aya didn't know what to make of that. What could Yohji possibly have to be pissed about?

"Hn," Aya turned his back on Yohji. He'd just dealt with one asshole, he didn't have time for another one.

Aya felt a wave of relief as Omi closed the doors and turned the closed sign around. Good, he was tired of people swarming around him. He quickly counted out the till and then made his way upstairs.

After two hours of training with his sword out on the balcony he went back inside and sat down on the bed, propped comfortably against the headboard with his newest book. It was a strange book to say the least, one about superstitions around the world. Knight had told him it was a good read, and, after he'd scoffed, had bought him a copy.

A loud knock startled him. How the hell hadn't he heard someone out in the hallway.

"Aya. There are two guys here to see you. Do the names Masato and Naru mean anything to you?" Yohji asked from the other side of the door.

"I'm coming," Aya knew what he was going to be greeted with when he came down the stairs. Don't I get to at least sit down for a goddamn minute!

"Ran! Its me! Hi!" Pawn charged at him, but stopped a few feet short.

"Please don't be mad at Yuushi!" Pawn looked so cute with big gleeful eyes, his hands clasped together like he was begging.

"Go back to the car and tell Knight that a real man apologises in person." Aya snorted.

"Knight was going to come in, but Naru insisted that he would be more convincing," Rook snorted.

"And you?" Aya asked Rook, finding it really hard to believe that he'd come to plead Knight's case.

"I'm just here for the show. Wanted to see Naru make an ass of himself again."

"That's not very nice!" Pawn cried. Aya rolled his eyes. There was no way in hell he could really stay mad right now, not with Pawn spazing out and Masato teasing him. Sometimes he wished he was still part of their team. Of course Masato hadn't been there when he had because Aya had been his temporary replacement, but he'd visited enough times to know he was in good company.

"Why don't we kidnap you for a few hours! Oh! Yuushi will be so happy that you're coming with us!" Pawn practically screamed. Aya saw Yohji wince at the kid's volume.

"Who said I was coming with you?" Aya just wanted to see the kid spaz out even worse.

"Wha…but my performance was great! Come on Ran!!!! If Yuushi knows I failed my mission he's going to tease me!" Pawn pouted.

"What's that?" Aya pointed to a small slip of paper in Pawn's hand.

"I've got Omi's email address!" You would! "We're going to be the bestest of friends, I can tell! And Ken can be my friend too! But I don't think he likes me," he pointed at Yohji.

"Be nice to Naru," Aya warned him. He didn't know why Yohji was so pissy. But taking it out on Pawn was like taking it out on Omi.

"So you're coming?!!" Pawn squeaked, grabbing his hand and pulling him toward the door.

"Yes, I'm coming, Runt, now let go of my hand. Do I look like your boyfriend?" At that Pawn squawked and let go with a quiet 'Yuushi would kill me!'.

"Nice to meet all of you!" Pawn shouted as he closed the door.

"Is Omi single?" Pawn asked once they were outside.

"He's with Ken." Aya chuckled.

"No one wants to be with me!!!"

"No, go to any gay bar and you'll get someone for a couple hours. Your problem is that no one wants to wake up beside you because they know you'll yack their ear off all morning long," Masato teased. Aya snorted at that. He was surprised Masato hadn't gone for Pawn, the two were oddly compatible in his eyes. Besides, Pawn needed a fucking keeper.

Aya shoved past Masato and stole the passenger seat, making the big guy have to ride in the back with Pawn. As much as he liked the kid he sure as hell didn't want to sit next to him, it would lead to being talked to again.

"I'm surprised you came. I thought you were still mad at me," Knight chuckled.

"Naru wouldn't leave me the fuck alone until I agreed to come." Aya grinned.

"I won't be staying too long, though. I have some investigating to do tomorrow. Yohji is pissed off and I want to know why. Its not like him. I need to make sure its not going to affect the team if we get a mission." Aya would stay an hour or two, but after that he was going to follow Yohji around, watch him from the shadows.

He would get behind whatever the hell it was that was pissing off the blonde, and then he'd either deal with it or tell him to grow up.
