it took a while to decide whether I could and want to write this. but it sounded tempting, so here I am. I think this will be just two shot, would have been one shot, but it was getting very long and out of hand. and I run out of time. so here is the first part and I hope I manage to end it in the next upload.
thank you for your support in same difference. it made this happen. in case you have not read it, it's okay, I think this can be understood without having read it. at least I tried to make it that way.
without any further ado, and because I am in a hurry, read on and hopefully have fun!
Summer break
It was the last week of school. There was really nothing much to do but to hang around and prepare watch how the graduating group practiced their speeches and whatnot. He had mostly spent time with talking to his friends and sharing their summer plans.
He was going on a trip with Fai to go meet Yuui, of whom Fai had been separated for years because their parents divorced in a bad terms.
After he had gotten Fai the address it had all happened rather fast. They had found out how much it would cost to get to him and how would they get enough money. It was no real trouble for him because he did work at his family's restaurant and wasn't huge spender.
But it had been trickier to Fai. Finally he had gotten Fai to work occasionally at his parents restaurant too and Fai had also delivered newspapers and other small paying jobs. Secretly he had helped Fai when he could, delivering part of the newspapers and stuff. But they had needed to be discreet so that Fai's father wouldn't find out about it.
It had been a close call, and finally he had convinced Fai that he could loan him the rest of the money. It hadn't been easy because Fai could be hell of a stubborn guy and said he could not accept something like that from him. But with repeated arguments he had finally convinced the blond that there was no harm in taking the money. And he had grudgingly agreed that Fai could pay it back later.
He shook his head. It wasn't like he couldn't understand, it would be hard for him to accept money too, but for heavens sake, he knew how important this was for Fai and the blond should know already how important he was to him.
"Morning Kuro-rin!" cheery voice greeted him. He rolled his eyes. Long ago he had given up in trying to get the blond call him by his real name. In vain of course
"Morning" he grunted back and Fai smiled at him before settling to walk next to him. He glanced at the blond from the corner of his eyes. Fai seemed happy and relaxed. He lifted an eyebrow "Did you finally talk to your father?"
that was the last problem. His parents trusted him and were okay with him traveling around in the summer but he doubted there would be no way how Fai would get permission to go see his twin. Fai shrugged
"Kinda." there was a pause. He knew what these kind of pauses meant. There was something Fai was not willing to tell him but that he should know anyway.
"Well?" he prompted Fai who looked away.
"I asked if I could spend a week at your family's cabin with you." before he had time to comment Fai hurriedly added "He said it would be good for me to spend some time away from the dirty city air and stuff"
he stared at the blond until the blue eyes hesitantly met his. They were pleading
"You lied?" he asked slowly. He could actually see Fai swallow
"well..." then Fai smiled a little "What else could I have done?"
he blinked few times then rubbed his temples
"You know you always give me headache?" he asked. Indeed his head was throbbing. Fai moved closer to him and swatted his hands away and took their place. Cool thin fingers started massaging his temples and he felt himself relax as the throbbing eased.
Without him noticing his eyes had closed and he opened them when the hands pulled away and he saw Fai's eyes so close to his. He stared into them and soft grin spread to his lips
"Thanks" he said. Fai beamed up
"Glad that it helped" the blond took a step back and smiled playfully at him "But you know that pain was most likely caused by your constant scowling and glaring."
he growled and Fai laughed and run away from him. He chased after the blond and caught him right before the blond could sneak through the school's gate and be in safety. He grabbed a good hold of Fai's long hands and pinned him against the brick wall that surrounded the school's area. Fai was breathing heavy but the blue eyes were sparkling. He leaned so close that their noses nearly touched
"If you would behave like any normal creature I wouldn't have to scowl so much" he said darkly. Fai chuckled
"But if I would behave like anyone else, I wouldn't be me and you wouldn't be here like this" Fai said and without a warning gave him a kiss straight to the lips. It set him off balance and the blond escaped from his hold.
Laughing the blond entered the school ground and he stood there a moment, grinning at the sound of joy in Fai's laugh. It was precious to hear him so carefree and happy. He licked his lips. And so tasty. Chuckling he followed the blond to school.
Finally they were free. Early morning Fai came to ring his doorbell. He frowned at the blond
"You came early" he stated. Fai shrugged and smiled
"Early bird catches the worm"
he lifted an eyebrow and smirked
"Are you referring your brother to a worm?"
the blue eyes widened and then Fai whacked his arm
"Meanie!" Fai whined but his eyes were laughing. He just shook his head.
"Let me get my stuff. Wait here" he said and pointed a finger at Fai, who tilted his head
"I'm not a dog Kuro-woof"
his brow twitched
"Neither am I" he growled and walked to his room and grabbed his bag. Thank god he had packed it the previous evening and not left it to morning.
"Let's move"he said and pushed past Fai who was still standing in the doorway. He had left note for his parents so that they would not get worried that he had left already. They knew Fai, they would understand even though the note just said 'had to go. Fai arrived'.
They had decided to go by train because it was the fastest way to get there without costing a fortune. Plane would have been faster but they had agreed that they would need money to get something to eat too.
On the train they had booked seats side by side and so they could talk and occasionally have a nap.
It didn't take long before he was bored anyway. His back got stiff from all the sitting and he wanted to walk for a bit. So he turned to look Fai who played some console game he had brought along. He hoped that he would have thought to take something with him too but somehow he had figured that Fai would have taken care of entertainment.
"You wanna go get something to eat?" he asked, praying that Fai would say yes and they could at least walk to the lunch cabin and later back again. But Fai just shook his head without looking up from the game
"I'm good. Besides, it's expensive to eat in train. Wait until we have to change train and then we can get something to eat."
he sighed and continued to stare out of the window. Vaguely he heard Fai pause the game and sift in his seat.
"Is something wrong?" Fai asked.
"No" he grunted back. He heard Fai chuckle
"You suck at lying"
he turned in his seat to look at Fai who was leaning his elbows on the armrest between them and resting his head on his hands, staring at him with bright eyes.
They stared each others a long moment and his annoyance succumbed a bit. Then Fai smiled and reaching down grabbed his bag
"If you are bored I have all kinds of stuff with me. As to prove a point Fai showed him the insides of the bag. There were few books, some travel games and a teddy bear.
Surprised he looked up at Fai
"A bear?"
blushing a bit Fai shrugged
"It's actually Yuui's. We got similar ones when we were kids. Except mine was blue and his was white." Fai looked into the bag and pulled the bear up "We exchanged them when we split so we wouldn't forget each others." Fai hugged the bear with a sad look. "He kept me company when I felt the most alone"
He nodded, unable to say anything so he reached out a hand and petted Fai's head softly. The blue eyes looked at him, first wide and shocked and then they softened. Fai leaned into his hand and purred
"Kuro-sama is always so kind to me"
feeling embarrassed he ruffled Fai's hair, so it fell over Fai's face. Then he pulled his hand back and watched how Fai pushed the locks away from his face, glaring him. He just smirked and said
"Clearly not always"
Fai rolled the blue eyes at him before looking at the bear in his lap, making it dance
"So I thought I would take it along with me. And maybe we can change the bears again so the bears could tell all what has happened with the other one."
Fai tried to sound cheery but he noticed the tension and waver in it. He sighed
"You really are an idiot"
Fai frowned at him but he didn't let the blond say anything before pulling him into an embrace "But I think that sounds like a good plan. And I am sure Yuui will also have taken his bear with him"
"You think so?" Fai whispered "You don't think that he doesn't like me anymore?"
he was taken aback and craned his neck to look at the blond, who was now hiding behind the blond hair.
"Why would he not like you anymore?" he asked puzzled. Fai shrugged
"I don't know. We have been apart for a long time" Fai said. He was sure the blond was trying not to cry. And he was happy that he was hugging the blond right now. He snorted
"I'm sure he had missed you just as much as you have missed him." he recalled how similarly they have acted the few times he had been on the phone with Yuui. There was no doubt they were twins and it was obvious that Yuui cared deeply of Fai. "And how could he not like you? Even I like you and you keep annoying me whenever you can"
Fai laughed and pulled back a bit, looking him in the eyes and searching his eyes for truth. He leaned in closer and pressed their foreheads together.
"Don't worry. It will go well"
Fai nodded and rubbed his moist eyes.
"Yeah. You are right" Fai said. "Thanks"
he pressed a kiss onto Fai's forehead
"Of course" he didn't clarify if he meant that he was right or that of course he helped Fai. Because to him it was obvious that he meant both.
Fai leaned back against his shoulder and he they settled to a comfortable silence. His back didn't bother him anymore. He was content with how things were now. And he would love to see how happy Fai would be once he was reunited with his brother. Even though he had a feeling that having too Fai's around would do a great damage to his nerves.
He breathed in the scent of Fai's hair and closed his eyes. Being with Fai like this was not something he had expected to do when he had met the blond but nevertheless something he didn't think he wanted to go on without. Fai meant a lot to him. And one day he was certain he would manage to say it to the blond. But right now this was enough.
