LIGHTNING LIKE WATER
AN: I do. not. own. anything. I don't even own decent laces for my boots let alone Dir En Grey. Besides if I actually OWNED Diru, why the bloody H would I even be doing this? Huh?
On another note my net currently thinks it's funny to keep cutting in and out, and when I FINALLY get it working? Some WONDERFUL GENUIS in my house resets the modem…starting me back at square one. READ AND REVIEW, otherwise I refuse to post more.
WARNINGS : YAOI, don't like, don't read. Warnings come as apply.
Kyo sighed as the lights to his apartment flickered. The rumble from the skies outside made him wince as he brushed his dyed blonde hair out of his slightly round featured face. Remembering that he hadn't rolled up the windows to his car for rain he smoothly stood. Leaning slightly Kyo grabbed the keys off the oak coffee table in the small apartment with a swing of his hands.
~Time Elapse~
As Kyo opened his dark red car he presses the small black button for the electric windows. Watching the driver side windows roll up he sighed. The rain was hard and cold, the night already being chilly made the weather go from bad to horrid. Kyo squinted at the clouds above him as he sighed he looked at the rear driver windows. Rolling them up then the other back windows he sneezed lightly. Looking at the last window he started rolling them up before a movement in the alley beyond the window caught his eye as he continued rolling up the window. There. A small movement and Kyo frowned, sweeping blonde hair off his face he shut the door after making sure the car was in order.
The alley was slightly flooded; about an inch of water was sitting on the ground. Half an inch more than the rest of the area; the alley was designed to drain both the streets it connected. A failed job Kyo would say. Kyo sneezed again as he was chilled to the bone. He had only been outside for possibly slightly more than ten fifteen minutes. Glancing around Kyo looked for something yellow, thinking it was probably a cat or the like.
"Hello?" Kyo softly yelled, trying to not look suspicious and get his wariness out of his system. Hearing nothing Kyo started to leave sure that his eyes were giving out on him.
"One…" Kyo heard a faint half plea and turned looking harder in the rain. He saw a shaking, small frame and moved to it, the clothes were tattered. Breathing heavily the person looked at him with dull caramel eyes. "Ne, Angel-sama…help me?" Kyo got the impression that the person thought that he was going to die. For some reason he couldn't accept that.
"Okay, what's your name?" Kyo asked but they already passed out. Kyo picked up the rail thin body and carried it inside. At least he wouldn't be bored anytime soon.
~Time Elapse~
"Always by you, my love you don't see me. Ah, how the blooms look when you're near." Kyo sang softly as he cleaned the stove. He had noticed the burnt remains of his dinner and felt guilty. Thus wise he was cleaning. His voice was a little low seeing as he didn't want to wake the man in the other room. Already feeling guilty he changed the man's clothes. "What to do? Ah you don't love me, alone again in the moonlight. Sparkling, sparkling tears on the floor." Kyo kept up the small song and washed off the last turning and jumping when he saw the wraith-like figure and sighed. "Well first things first." The figure stared at the floor soundlessly. Kyo puffed out his left cheek as he thought. "Do you want a bath?" the figure didn't do anything so Kyo shrugged and went back to humming, jumping when the man looked up. Kyo stopped humming to star wondering if he was going to talk. As soon as he stopped humming the man looked back down and resumed his last position of staring. Kyo tilted his head slightly then smirked slightly. "Till you whisper love me, love me. That's all I ask for, love me." Kyo softly sang looking at the man for a reaction. The man twitched his hand fast at his side at the first side then looked up half-way through the second line. Kyo tried something more up-beat and started singing to the beat of a song he heard off of the radio earlier on in the week. "Would you like to take a bath?" Kyo felt ridiculous but when the man started following him as he walked to the bathroom he couldn't help but smile. Who was he to judge the man anyway? After coaxing the man in the bath, not an easy feat since he needed his clothes off, Kyo selected something to clean off his dark dirt covered skin.
After cleaning the man off Kyo smiled happily. He had learned something about the man. Such things like he had red hair and light skin. Kyo was still worried by the doll like behavior. He would only move at the sound of music, like a music box dancer. The man had stayed a week already, completely burning up and passed out Kyo had tried to do his best to take care of him. Kyo was actually shocked he survived, he wasn't the nurturing type. Kyo snapped back to attention as the water made a gurgling sound as the dark grey water flowed out swirling between the thin milky thighs. Normally such events would make Kyo feel awkward, but this man really didn't seem to know what to do. Kyo leaned over, still humming and had the man sit on the side of the tub as he refilled it. After it filled he washed him again, until the water was only cloudy from the soap and his hair gleamed cleanly. Kyo smiled and gently dried him off with a large crimson towel. Grinning Kyo noticed it was the same color as his hair.
Kyo quickly stripped and filled the tub again quickly scrubbing him down until his skin was a light pink and his scalp hurt slightly. Rinsing off, he dried off with a blue towel, than jumped slightly as a thin hand touched his shoulder. Kyo looked with slightly wide brown eyes before noticing it was the man. The man shifted his fingers into Kyo's hair, the silky blonde hair wetly gleaming. The man ran his hands through Kyo's hair over and over. Kyo stood there shocked but content to let the man do this, so they stood. Eventually their haired dried and Kyo's hair frizzed slightly with the slight abuse it got from the man's large hands.
"What should I call you then huh?" Kyo asked smirking slightly at the man. The soft slightly happy look he had died down a bit. Kyo tilted his head slightly without thinking as he regarded the man. "Don't like your name then? Well in any case what were you doing out there?" Kyo took the man's wrist, pausing for a second to see if it was okay with him before leading him to his bedroom. "You don't have to tell me of course so I'll just guess…you're a magic eggplant that will grant me three wishes." He heard a slight huffing sound behind him the sounded suspiciously like a laugh. "No? A magic kumquat then." The noise was louder and Kyo smirked slightly as he let go and rooted through his clothes for something that would fit the tall man. He eventually found a large white button up and black slacks. "Here you go then…" Kyo let the sentence go watching the man absently play with a small dangle on the table near him, tapping it back and forth. "Kitty-kun." Kyo finished with a smirk making the man look up with a question on his face. "Well you wouldn't give a name Kitty." Kyo's smirk widened on his face and he spotted a quirk on the man's face. Minute to anyone else but Kyo was looking closely. Kyo walked to the man with his clothes in one arm and his clothes in the other. "I won't assume you know how to dress so I'll ask this. Point out what you don't think you can handle." When he didn't move Kyo raised an eyebrow glancing at a large dark spot near his ribs. "No need to be prideful, I won't think less of you." He let out a small sigh while looking at the man and pointed to his waist then his chest. Kyo noticed finally that the arm he moved wasn't the arm on the side of the bruise. "What did you do to that?" Kyo slipped on a pair of black cargo pants that hung on his slim waist slightly. The man shook his head and Kyo shrugged slipping on a shirt. "Wait do you normally go commando?" Kyo asked noticing that he hadn't grabbed him drawers. The man turned pink. "How about I just uh get you covered up?"
~You know what this means~
Kyo let out a frustrated scream startling Kitty. The bright red-head looked over at Kyo with large eyes as he let out a low growl. Kyo was glaring from the couch at a sleek black laptop on the coffee table. Kitty stood and walked over sitting near Kyo, abandoning the newspaper he was looking at. He couldn't see what was wrong so he leaned closer.
"Twenty-five." Kyo growled again then darted his eyes over to Kitty. "Sit closer Kitty." Kyo's voice was angry, but Kitty knew it wasn't at him. Moving closer he let out a small surprised noise as Kyo pulled his upper body into his lap. Kyo started running his fingers through the blood-red hair and the other man thought. In the three weeks he lived with Kyo, he had been silent. Kyo had filled the air with words the first week then talked whenever the second week. Now he was at ease with the others silence. The silent man had also taken note of other little quirks the man had taken on to accommodate him. Kyo now figured out how to tell without words what he needed and just gave it to him. Kyo sighed and stopped petting Kitty effectively bringing him out of his daze. The man looked up. "What's up Kitty?"
"Die." A quiet low voice murmured. Kyo blinked slowly then nodded.
"Die then." Kyo murmured before brushing Die's hair out of his face. Die closed his eyes and smiled. Kyo gave a small grin and patted the top of Die's head. Die stared at the strange blond. He was the first to understand him. Die looked at the couch before simply setting his head on Kyo's thigh like a dog. Kyo gave a small smile before noting Die fully. "Have we gotten clothes for you Die?" Kyo asked not particularly surprised that Die shook his head no. "Well, then let's go ne?" Die nodded slowly, nervous to leave the apartment as he hadn't since Kyo had found him. "It's okay Die; I'll be right next to you remember?" Die nodded, more sure of himself now. Kyo grinned and led Die out of the apartment building. Die followed behind Kyo but had to stop at the doorway to the building. A low stressed sound built in Die's throat before e noticed Kyo had taken his hand and had him almost to the car before Die could fully realize he was moving outside. Die breathed relief as Kyo's scent was blown at him from the AC. Die closed his eyes, wanting to focus more on the scent wrapping around him then the fact he was again outside. "I think we should get you leather." Kyo smiled and pulled into a parking lot as Die nodded again.
