Title: I Can't Love You.

Fandom: Ao No Exorcist – YAOI.

Chapter: 2/?

Pairing: Bon x Rin

Rating: PG-13 for now

Summary: Rin finally gets to date Shiemi, she finally asked him to date her. However it doesn't take long for Rin to decide that he likes Bon better. Bon, on the other hand, has a thing for Shiemi, and is completely straight. Will Rin get his man, or will he be rejected and left with heartbreak?

"You, what?" For some reason, Bon found himself mad at Rin for that. "Then break up with her, idiot!" Attention turned in Rin's direction from people nearby, and the demon could feel him blushing from embarrassment. Bon noticed the blushing and sighed in frustration, first slamming into the table harshly, causing the demon to flinch very slightly.

Rin stood up and left the cafeteria. Surprisingly, Bon came chasing after him, pulling his arm back roughly, forcing the demon to get close, awkwardly close.

"Let go!" Rin's voice rose, the anger evident on his face. Much to Rin's chagrin, Bon ignored his shouts and struggles. The demon needed to relax.

"Come with me, we'll talk." Bon pulled him along none too gently, not caring about how awkward Rin felt. The situation only got worse when he was led to the dorm, the newer ones, which made his look terrible in comparison. For just a few small moments, being pulled around was okay, and perhaps even fascinating.

Bon released Rin's arm from his grip to unlock the door, and hold it open. Regardless of the sudden freedom, the demon didn't try to run away screaming. If Rin thought the outside of the dorms were nice, his mind was blown when he saw the inside. Although it wasn't the time to be appreciating something like that, his mind was blown. The striped-haired male tugged him inside, shutting the door behind him.

"Whoa!" Rin blinked and stared at the newer rooms, suddenly feeling curious as he began to look around. He sat on the edge of one of the beds, not sure if it was Bon's or Konekomaru's, but it didn't bother the other.

"Do you like someone else?" Bon asked, sitting at his desk. The demon thought for a moment, then shrugged, giving the other a bored look. "I'm serious, Okumura!" Even as his voice got louder, Rin's expression didn't change. Silence fell upon the room as Bon had stopped prodding at him for answers he wasn't going to get.

"Maybe it's 'cause she suffocates me." Rin mumbled, sighing softly as he leaned back on the bed some, using the palms of his hands for support. "I should spend more time with you, Shima and Konekomaru!" His eyes lit up with excitement from the idea, but Bon merely laughed at him. "What…?"

"I'll never waste my time with an idiot like you, Okumura." With those words, Rin had been kicked out of the dorm. Konekomaru and Shima were headed towards the dorm and caught sight of Rin sulking away. The two walked up to him, Shima stopping him by putting a hand on his shoulder. Rin stood still, but said nothing to them.

"Okumura?" Konekomaru's voice caused one of the demon's ears to twitch. "Were you just with Bon? Slight jealousy could be heard in the small one's voice. Turning around, Rin gave him a big smile.

"He wanted to talk, that's all!" Rin left the building eager to leave the situation behind. Cursing under his breath, the demon shoved his hands in his pants pockets. "Freak… he's the one who dragged me into his room." Somehow, Bon had always gotten under his skin with such ease, and Rin was getting sick of it.

Shima entered Bon's and Konekomaru's dorm to study, but had a lot of questions to ask him. Of course Bon calmly declined this, not wanting to open up about Okumura.

"Come on, Bon. Don't hold it in." Shima's voice was the usual helpful yet nagging sound it had always been, and Bon couldn't ignore it.

"That Okumura is gonna break her heart, Shima."

• Slowly easing our way into the story. Slow start indeed. Thanks for all the reviews, and here's a bit of feedback on a couple:

I'd rather not update on a certain day of the week, because if I do limit myself to that, I won't write as often, and lose interest, then there won't be any updates at all. I'm weird like that.

I'm really happy everybody is enjoying this.

I feel a little let down, like this chapter wasn't very in character, but it was kinda rushed and edited several times. Enjoy regardless, I promise the next one will be better. We will be entering the drama llama pack. xD
