"Sh-igu-reeeee!" Ayame complained with all his usual drama. "Hatori locked himself in his study for the past week and I haven't been able to see him. Why are people so cruel to me?"
"There, there Aya." Shigure patted Ayame on his head as if he were an upset toddler. "I'm sure Hatori has his reasons, besides he's bound to come out of there sooner or later, he always dose, gets hungry you know. So stop worrying about it so much things will be just fine" Shigure flapped his hand up and down as if fanning away his friends worry. Ayame looked up at Shigure with glistening eyes that bordered on the verge of tears. He suddenly grabbed Shigure with a desperate and needy hug.
"Oh Shigure!" he wailed as dramatic streams of tears fell from his eyes like water falls.
"Oh Aya, my poor Aya." Shigure replied returning the hug and patting his friend on the back.
"Shigure it's not fair." Ayame continued.
"Are you two quite finished making a seen? You're both a disgrace and an annoyance." Yuki commented leaning against the frame of the doorway to Shigure's office. He had been studying in the next room but had become too distracted by Ayame's excessive wailing to continue with his work.
"Yuki, I must say I'm shocked and disappointed that you would offer your brother such little support. Can't you see how clearly upset he is? The tragedy of it all when siblings fail to support each other in times of need, it really leads one to wonder what the world is coming to, what with all the corruption and lack of family values today." Shigure rambled finishing his sentence with a forlorn sigh.
"Shigure you do understand, Oh Shigure." Ayame embraced his friend in another bone jarring hug. As his waterworks display of tears continued. Then, just as suddenly the tears stopped as Ayame lost interest in the act and opted for picking on his little brother instead.
"Honestly Yuki to be so heartless as to think your school work is more important than your own brother, to show such disrespect. You must be positively grateful that you have a brother as accepting and caring as me, and because of my noble and forgiving nature, I shall forgive you for being so cold toward me, what do you have to say to that?"
Yuki stood silent for a fraction of a second. "I'm going upstairs." Yuki turned his back walking down the hall and a short while later foot steps could be heard ascending the stairs to the upper level of the house.
Shigure watched as Yuki left the room allowing a frown to slip for a fraction of a second. While Aya was being his usual over dramatic self. Shigure knew his friend well enough to know that for him to come all the way out here that Hatori's behavior had the snake more than a little upset.
"My my he hates me doesn't he?" Ayame asked. Now that Yuki had stormed off. "And what did I ever do to him either? It's not fair Shigure." Ayame clutched Shigure's robe again. Shigure looked down at Ayame.
"Of course you know that this calls for drastic measures." Shigure said looking serious. Ayame's facial expression went from upset and dejected to sober and determined.
"Oh yes, the most drastic of drastic." He replied as the two nodded together.
"SAKE!" They both exclaimed together giving each other a thumbs up. Shigure holding up the bottle he had whipped out from under his desk. A few drinks later Shigure decided to approach the subject of Hatori again with Ayame.
"Really Aya, don't you think it's about time you told Hari how you feel about him? Lately he's been making you more upset over his behavior than usual."
"Shigure do my ears deceive me? are you trying to push me off on another man, have your feelings for me become so depleted that you would abandon me to the clutches of someone else without even putting up a fight?" Ayame faked a dramatic heart broken expression.
"Besides..." Ayame continued before Shigure could come back with an answer. "I'm not exactly the most subtle person in the world. If Hatori hasn't figured out how I feel about him by now then what difference would me telling him make?"
"Well you're right about that I suppose, you are not one to be discreet, but you know how stubborn and prone to self loathing Hari is. If anything he just needs a nudge in the right direction, even then it might take no small bit of work on your part to get him to come around to the point where he would actually allow himself to be happy." Shigure pointed out.
"Shigure. Do I detect the ingenious hints of a brilliant plan in the making? what exactly do you propose?" Ayame stretched himself out on the floor looking up at Shigure with mesmerizing yellow-green eyes.
"Oh Aya you read my mind, please tell my you'll say yes." Shigure said looking down at Aya sprawled across the floor.
"You're serious aren't you?" Ayame asked raising a thin silver blue eyebrow at Shigure. "Do you think we can pull it off? I mean with anyone else but Hatori I would have no doubt but we've been at this game so long and he knows us so well, do you really think we can convince him we're having a relationship?"
"Doubt Aya? That is so unlike you. Oh I never said it would be easy but you are up for a challenge. Aren't you my love?" Shigure batted his eyes at Ayame.
"Shigure! I promise to make you the happiest man alive... At least until we make Hari so jealous he goes mad." The two flashed each other the thumbs up and so the plan was set in motion.
Authors Note:
Story three, what am I doing? this was supposed to be a Yuki/Haru fic and I started writing it and after a couple of pages it had nothing to do with Yuki, and Haru wasn't even in it. So I guess I got carried away with Shugure and Ayame's conversation. Those two were just so much fun to write and they insisted I do the story on them so this is now a Aya/Shigure/Hari fic.
after all arguing with Shigure and Ayame is rather pointless, not that I didn't try...
Glasses: Hey this is supposed to be a Yuki/Haru fic. who's been messing with my story?
Ayame: That would be me, Yuki and Haru are so boring I'm sure you would much rather write a story about the trials and tribulations of my life, why would you deny the readers the privilege of learning more about my glorious self.
Glasses: But I like Yuki and Haru /winey voice/
Ayame: Nonsense you don't seem to know what you are talking about /starts typing on the computer/ see I've already started it for you /shoves glasses into the chair in front of the computer ties glasses up./ See it's perfect isn't it how could anything I write be less than complete utter perfection?
Glasses: Why me?
Shigure/pops his head around the corner and sings/ Oh and I get to do the editing.
Glasses/Cries and writes the story as Ayame spouts random stories about every detail of his past and Shigure ridicules every spelling mistake/
ADDITIONAL NOTICE:
This story is based on the Anime version of Fruits Basket I haven't had a chance to pick up the all Manga yet. That means that the nick names I used for the characters are from the anime not the manga I just thought I would let you know because there seem to be so many nick names for the characters I just modeled the characters off the English voice actors of Fruba which I know is a horrible thing to do when dealing with Anime but the Fruba dub was pretty damn good. Thank you to all who reviewed my last two stories. This one may take a little longer to update because I'm currently revising my old stories and this one is going to get an extreme make over writing edition soon.
