Sorry for the late update on this story. ^_^;; I mentioned in one of my other fanfics that my family's main computer has this huge virus that causes it to randomly shut down after half an hour or so and that's why it's been taking me a long time to update. It's still the reason why. -_- But, once we get the compyter fixed (hopefully soon), I will be able to write more chapters for my current stories and post them sooner, as well. Anyway, onto chapter two and I hope you enjoy it. :)

Series: Monochrome Factor

Pairings: Kou x Haruka, Shirogane x Akira, and partial Akira x Haruka

Warnings: Yaoi/Shounen-ai (Boy x Boy relationships) and Shota (an older man with a young boy)

The two men casually walked slowly together, making sure to keep a good distance between them and the pair ahead. Because of Kou's brilliant idea, he and Shirogane were secretly following Akira and Haruka on their little date. The Shin was hesitant at first, but after giving in to Kou's "puppy eyes" and his consistent begging, he went along with the plan.

"Are you sure we should be doing this? I feel like we're doing something wrong." Shirogane said, continuing to look and make sure Akira and Haruka couldn't see them.

"It's fine, don't worry about it." Kou waved his hand dismissively and stared off at the two young friends who just stopped to get some drinks from a vendor.

"But, what if we get caught?" Shirogane questioned. The man knew that Kou had clever ideas, but there was always one key thing he would end up forgetting to think about.

"That won't happen as long as we stay quiet and keep a safe distance away from them. Plus, we have these amazing disguises." Kou grinned, the silver aviator sunglasses he was wearing shimmering in the sunlight and used his fingers to twirl the tip of his fake black mustache.

"I'd say our disguises are far amazing…" Shirogane trailed off, fixing the white mustache he had on and his nerd-like glasses. "This is completely stupid. They'll know it's us for sure."

"Stop complaining, Shirogane. We're here for a reason and I'll be damned if we don't succeed." Kou looked at Shirogane somewhat sternly, but his disguise was making it hard to take him seriously at all.

"I'm sorry, Kou, but you look like a pedophile." Shirogane let out a chuckle, fully amused at Kou's new look.

The other glared at the white-haired man, unseen because of the sunglasses over his eyes, and tried to shrug off the Shin's comment.

"Not that you already aren't one." Shirogane mumbled quietly, but Kou still heard it.

The Rei pulled his sunglasses down to the bridge of his nose and narrowed his eyes. "What was that?"

"Nothing, nothing." Shirogane turned his head away from Kou, pretending that he hadn't said anything and to change the subject. "Anyway," The shadow began, "shouldn't we at least have a back-up plan in case this one goes wrong?"

By the time Shirogane finished his sentence, Kou had already walked ahead of the worried man and was ignoring the other's concerns, feeling confident in himself. "Why do I even bother to ask questions?" Shirogane shook his head and followed after the all-but-too-cheerful Kou.

(Akira and Haruka's POV)

Akira stopped walking and glanced behind him for a second, catching the attention of his younger friend. Haruka looked at the elder of the two, blueberry smoothie in hand, and tilted his head to the side a bit.

"Akira, is something wrong?" The boy asked, wondering what caused Akira to stop all of a sudden.

"Sorry, it's nothing. I just felt like someone was watching me." Akira said, looking back once more. The teen didn't see anyone, so he decided it was nothing and turned back to Haruka. "Do you want to go to the park over there?" Akira questioned, gesturing to a small grassy area a little further away. Haruka nodded his response and both of them went on with their walking.

(Shirogane and Kou POV)

Shirogane and Kou were hiding behind the wall of a building, their eyes widened and holding their breath.

"That...was way too close." Kou finally said, clutching onto his chest and letting out a sigh.

Shirogane sighed as well out of relief. "Do you see why I was concerned about getting caught?" The white-haired man asked to his companion.

"We were close to getting caught. But, luckily, we didn't." Kou said as he pushed himself off the wall and checked around the corner to see where the two boys were. "Let's get going, shall we?"

Shirogane exhaled again. "Alright, fine. If we do get caught, I'm telling them it was all your idea." The shadow warned and brushed some dirt off his coat that got on him from the brick wall of the building.

"Oh, you wouldn't do something cruel like that to me, Shirogane." Kou laughed and honestly thought he was joking.

"Yes, I would." Shirogane simply stated, causing Kou to gasp.

"Hey! That's not a nice thing to do to your friend!" Kou pouted, but immediately perked up again. "Alright, let's just focus on our goal." Kou kept his gaze on Akira and Haruka, watching to see what they were going to do next.

"It looks like the two of them are going to the park over there." Shirogane commented and picked up his pace when Kou quickly ran behind the vendor where Akira and Haruka had previously gotten their drinks from.

"What is it?" He asked, confused about what Kou was doing.

"I'm trying to get a better view." Kou replied, keeping his indigo orbs on the figures of the close friends who were walking down a small grass-covered hill to find a place to sit.

Shirogane glanced at Akira and Haruka, then back to Kou. "You mean a better view of Haruka-kun?"

"No! I mean both Aki and Haru! Although," Kou started, quickly changing the topic, and shifting his eyes to Haruka, "I have to admit that Haru does look incredibly adorable."

"You can fawn over Haruka-kun later, let's just keep going." Shirogane said, grabbing onto Kou's arm and pulling him forward to continue with their little game of Cat and Mouse…

I know this chapter wasn't that crack-filled, so sorry about that. But, I'll make sure to add a lot more crack in later chapters. ^w^ Oh, and I might have Shirogane and Kou's disguises become even crazier throughout the story, if I can think of some funny costumes. XD Again, if there's anything you would like to see happen (Akira x Haruka flirting, Shirogane and Kou acting like the jealous semes they are, etc.), just feel free to throw your ideas at me. I've already started on the third chapter, so I'm going to do my best and have it up sooner next time. But, we'll see how my bipolar computer reacts. _ Feedback is appreciated. Ciao!
