"Brings a shining light to every face / It shines for all to see / It makes the world a better place / Rainbow Brite and me…." Yukito sang, hips swaying lusciously as he pulled the brownies from the oven. The smell of warm chocolate filled the room even more than it had before.

            It had been a week since he had moved into the apartment with Touya. Neither of them seemed to be moving forward, but they had all the time in the world now that Touya had saved him. He cut the brownies into squares, and laid them on plates. There were already approximately 15 plates full of brownies. His stereo had since skipped to a policatcally correct version of "Deck the Halls." Yeah, he was male, and yeah that show was 20-something years old. He wasn't human, so who gave one? He smiled, finally at peace with whatever he was.

"Deck the Color Castle walls / fa la la la la la…." He sang, carrying the soprano note surprisingly well for someone who was supposedly male. He giggled at this fact.  He was physically male, but such things as pink sweaters, stuffed animals and the like didn't bother him. In fact, he found it all rather cute…

He looked down at his ruffled pink apron (a gift from Sakura), his indigo sweater (a gift from Touya), and the crescent moon necklace he never took off. The necklace was a gift from Yue, who surprised him with it shortly after the power transfer. He fingered it, taking in the Aurora Borealis crystals and platinum, and how they sparkled.  He had always been attracted the shiny or sparkly things. He took out his cherry pie (in a crescent moon pan of course), giggling again at the sight of the matching necklace and pie.

"TADAIMA!!!"  Someone shouted. However, it was not heard over the blasting cassette from 1984. Touya stood in the doorway, watching a very genki Yukito shuffling around the room in a frilly pink apron and bunny slippers. Smirking, he snuck up on Yukito, slipping his hands around the snow rabbit's waist. Yukito jumped approximately 3 feet into the air, crying out in surprise, nearly dropping the plate of strawberry tarts he held.

Touya chuckled, trying to snatch a tart from the plate. Yukito held the plate away from him, still tweeked at being startled so.  Touya tried to get at the plate…

Only to have a tart smushed onto his face. Touya stood there in shock. "There, peach boy. You want a tart so badly, ne? That's what you deserve for startling me like that. I nearly dropped these tarts." Yukito said, trying to look stern, and failing miserably.  The sight of Touya with strawberry filling oozing down his face was simply too priceless. Touya then narrowed his eyes at Yukito, smirking. Yukito's eyes widened, and he braced to run.

"Alright, rabbit. That's it!" Touya snarled playfully, running after Yukito, who kept dodging him blow for blow. Sheer lunacy ensued. Touya caught up with Yukito, picking up the smaller young man like a newlywed, then dropping him on a futon in the den. Yukito knew what was next. Touya then started to tickle him mercilessly.

"Ahhhh….To-ya!!! DAME!!! Hehehehe…. Dame! TO-YAAAA!!!!" Yukito laughed, kicking his feet in the air and writhing around under the tickles. Touya grinned, keeping him squirming for a good ten minutes.  Both boys then collapsed side by side on the futon, Yukito panting slightly, and Touya still chuckling. Yukito had just begun to relax again when Touya took a strawberry, formerly stuck to his forehead, and put it on Yukito's nose. The pink ruffled boy look at it cross-eyed then flicked his tongue up to his nose, licking off the strawberry in one quick motion. Touya raised an eyebrow.

"You sure have a long tongue, Yuki." Touya said. Yukito looked up at him, blinking. Was it Touya's imagination, or did something flash in Yukito's eyes? Something like a pearl? Nah, that's weird. People don't have pearls for eyes, anyway. Yukito shook him slightly, causing Touya's world to smashing down again. Yukito still looked at him with quizzical eyes.

BRRRRRING!!!!!

Touya got up to get the phone, leaving Yukito on the futon.

"Moshi moshi… ah, kaijuu… yes you are… what's the Clow guy doing there? What was his name? Hi-y-RAG-iziWA? Oh, ok. Ano… how about Tuesday at 3? Hai… ja." Touya hung up the phone. Yukito had returned to the kitchen, and was now taking out an entire roast chicken, causing Touya's eyebrow to raise higher yet.

"Yuki, why do you cook all our food at once? We're gonna starve the rest of the week." He said, ruffling Yukito's hair.

After a large dinner of roast chicken and probably every dessert on the dark side of the moon, Touya and Yukito headed up to bed. They shared a room, and a bed, though nothing had come of it yet. It simply was a room built for one bed. Not that it mattered; Touya and Yukito were perfectly comfortable sharing it. Two beds would have been more awkward, in fact.

Touya entered the room from the adjoining bathroom wearing his peach boxers.  Touya would make it very clear that it was Yukito's idea if cornered, but secretly liked them. They reminded him of Yukito's peach-fuzzy skin, and… that thought stopped as Yukito came through the door in his silky light blue bunny boxers. The world stopped then. Those are new… Touya thought vaguely. He felt his boxers getting tighter, and quickly went to get into bed.

 Yukito followed suit, sliding gracefully into the flannel sheets. Flannel sheets… flannel is soft like satin… light blue bunny satin… Touya thought, making a small groan, and putting his face in his pillow. Yukito rolled over to face him. "Doushita no?" He asked lightly. Touya groaned again.

"Your *ahem* underwear… I've not seen those before. Are they new?" Touya asked, trying to act like they didn't affect him. Yukito nodded enthusiastically, throwing back the sheets to show them off. Touya paled, grateful that his portion of the sheets still covered him. "I got them yesterday, aren't they cute?" Yukito smiled at him. Touya could only nod.

Touya's eyes widened when Yukito snuggled in next to him closely. This was fairly common, but with Touya's current state…

Yukito looked up to Touya with questioning eyes when he made contact with Touya's boxers.  He brought the sheets up slightly, peering underneath innocently. His eyes widened, and he quickly put the sheets back down again. Touya saw his eyes flash again, this time longer. Yukito blinked a few times, and then lay back on the bed. Touya judged his movements carefully, not wanting to frighten the rabbit-like young man next to him.

Then Yukito rolled over to face him, leaning in….
