Yeah… I realize I totally prefer one shots and short stories as to actually plot detailed events… so I made this completely random retarded thing that's kinda quirky, kinda cute. Major Ikkazu! Enjoy.

Team Kogarasumaru had just returned home after an exhausting battle. Of course, the team they'd been fighting mysteriously disappeared. Along with the emblem, the opposition had left behind two passes to an exclusive spa and resort.

"What the hell was that whole team doing with tickets for a romantic getaway? They were all guys!" Ikki laughed, swinging the two vouchers in his hands before stuffing them unceremoniously into the pocket of his jacket.

"Well, they say the resort is for males and females. Maybe there were secret lovers among them!" Akito suggested, with only the slightest of hints that perhaps being secretly in love with another man wasn't so bad… considering the young, blue haired, schizophrenic boy had a serious crush on the Crow.

"You won't catch me doing weird shit like that," Ikki responded, much to Akito's disappointment.

"Considering it was a Parts War, maybe this is our winnings," Buccha offered, shrugging his massive shoulders and scanning the reactions of the group.

"Yeah, well this reward sucks."

After the after the six members (excluding Yayoi) of Kogarasumaru dispersed, Ikki caught up with his best pal, and fellow Kogarasumarian, Mikura Kazuma.

"Hey, Kazu man, you haven't spoken a word all afternoon! Was it the battle? 'Cause I have to admit, I think you were half a second slower on the dash then yesterday!" the Crow joked. Not long ago, Ikki couldn't have made jokes like that around Kazu.

It had been a well guarded secret amongst the two that Kazu wasn't confident in his profound AT skills, and it wasn't until a little while ago that he'd felt more assured, and no one knew why… exactly. Well, no one except the Jet himself.

"Something on your mind lately?" Ikki asked, jabbing his beanie wearing friend in the side.

You.

Kazu wasn't the sentimental type, and he honestly had been trying to hide his emotions from his friend for as long as they'd been friends, but after a while, he found it impossible.

Before Kazu realized why he'd felt so insecure about himself; his skills at ATs, his self image, and his gender preference, he'd been wondering about his relationship with Ikki.

That guy would think I'm a retard if I told him that I… wasn't… into girls. I can see that going over real well: "Hey Ikki! Guess what? I like guys! But not just any guy, the most unreachable, idiotic, thick-headed, most attractive guy I know! And then it would all spiral down hill from there.

Jeez, I just wish I could find the words…

"Earth to Kazu! Don't make me go in there and get you!" Ikki shouted into his friend's ear, derailing the Jet's train of thought in a very blunt manner.

"You better get your head on straight because tonight's poker night and if we lose to Mikan and Ume again-"

"What'd ya say?" Kazu, who had just finally shaken himself out of his self sympathizing haze, responded confused.

"You know- poker… me, you, my house, free food?" Kazu immediately perked up at the mention of free food.

"Normally it's me who's all over the free food. What's gotten into you lately?"

You… well, not in a weird way… but maybe someday- HOLY SHIT! I just thought that… Bad Kazu. A good mental slap was all the Jet needed to regain his senses enough to answer.

"Be there at eight?"

"I hate card games. Why do I agree to this every week?" Kazu growled, sitting beside a mutually naked Ikki around the shady card table in the Noyamano living room.

"In for another round boys? You've got nothing else to lose," Mikan snickered, bridging the cards and dealing another round.

"Hell yeah! All or nothing!" Ikki declared, planting his fist on the table and scattering the articles of clothing that everyone had bet. Sadly, it included Ikki and Kazu's entire wardrobe… and only a sock from either of the sisters sitting across from the two boys.

"Can I back out while I still have my dignity?" Kazu offered as a compromise, looking at his best friend.

"Wait a second! They're outta stuff to bet! Scram!" little Ume barked, shooing the boys away from the table in a frenzy and gathering up their bedraggled clothes.

"How much do you think the future Sky King's clothes would sell on E-Bay?" Mikan gave her sister a Cheshire grin cackling loudly as the two boys scampered down the hall way into the retreat of Ikki's room. Kazu sighed loudly, covering up his private parts with his beanie as he ran.

At least Agito's not here right now. That would be more than embarrassing, Kazu decided, locking the door behind him and the Crow as they finally reached their refuge. It wasn't until then that Kazu realized the enormity of the situation.

Him. Ikki. Naked. Bedroom. Closed blinds. Dark night.

Damn dirty thoughts! Get your mind out of the gutter! Kazu ordered himself straight before chancing a glance at Ikki who stood unabashedly confident in his nudeness while Kazu was attempting to cover himself up with a hat in the corner.

"Jeez Kazu, we're all men here… well, you're covering up, so I wouldn't know-" Ikki experimented, teasing the blonde who stood with a grumpy expression on the other side of the room.

"I'm a freakin' guy too, okay?" Kazu snapped back, flashing Ikki a look at his assets before promptly covering himself up again.

"There? Happy? Ya pervert," the Jet grumbled, stalking over to the bed and taking a seat next to his friend, trying to look as relaxed as possible while still experiencing the beginning of one of his deepest, darkest fantasies.

"So… how do I get home now?" Kazu asked slightly miffed, taking in deep breaths to calm down his rapidly beating heart… and his vastly approaching erection.

"Well, Akito's vanished, so you could stay here… but you'll have to put some clothes on first," the Crow offered, getting up and rifling through his near empty drawers for some boxers and a t-shirt. He pulled two sets out- one for him and the other for Kazu.

"Put these on. They're the smallest I got-"

"What the hell man?" Kazu snapped at the implication and gave a hard, blue eyed stare at his friend who held up his hands in his own defense.

"Come on dude, I didn't mean it like that! Just put the damn clothes on, alright? Jeez… touchy much?" Ikki rolled his eyes at Kazu's somewhat finicky attitude and slid under the covers of his bed.

"Hey… where do I sleep?"

The only response the Jet got from the dark haired boy was a hand gesture towards the carpet. So Kazu laid down.

Haha, review!!!!
