And the reason is... Drum roll please.

Cornered

It was eight in the morning, as sunlight shone through the cold kitchen windows, warming up the room. Yet, as warm as the sun was, it could not dissolve the tense atmosphere surrounding a certain redhead as he hugged a saucepan tightly to his chest, eying the ebony head sitting across him with distrust, who in turn was eying the redhead in amusement.

''Put on a shirt Tyki!'' Lavi said finally, all the while staring at the saucepan he was hugging as though it was the most fascinating thing on earth . And the reason was not because he could not take his eyes off the well-toned body in front of him.

''Really love, is that the only thing you can say when we haven't meet for a month?'' Tyki asked amused, as he lit a cigarette.

''Don't smoke in the house!'' Lavi snapped, unconsciously lifting up his head only to see a dressed Tyki. Since when did he put on his shirt, Lavi mentally sighed and it was not for the lost chance of seeing Tyki's hot body.

''What are you doing here, Tyki?'' Lavi asked tiredly.

''Right back at you, love. Did you miss me so much that you had to break into my house?'' Tyki countered back, smiling lazily as he put out the cigarette.

''I'm not your lov...'' Lavi shot back before Tyki's words sank in. ''This is your house?'' Lavi shouted in surprised.

''It is,'' Tyki smirked. ''Bought it off a musician three weeks ago while I was visiting my hometown.''

''That musician won't happen to be someone called Neah now, would it?'' Lavi asked, silently praying that he was wrong.

''Sure is,'' Tyki replied cheerfully, enjoying the rapid change of a hopeful face to a crushed one. ''Fancy meeting the shounen's dad there. He had offered me the house at an extremely good price, saying he didn't need it anymore since the shounen is no longer living here.''

''Can I see the deed to this house?'' Lavi asked after the long pause.

''If I remembered correctly, I left it in the study. Shall we go and collect it together?'' Tyki asked, pleased that his rabbit was not kicking up a fuss like he usually would.

''N-No... I'll stay.'' Lavi fidgeted, hugging the saucepan tighter to his chest.

''Be right back, don't go anywhere.'' Tyki smiled happily, leaving the kitchen.

''Here it is...Lavi?'' What welcomed Tyki back was a saucepan on the table with no rabbit in sight.

''Jerrrrrrrry!'' Lavi shouted as he burst into the shop.

It was only ten in the morning, yet the café was already busy with customers as it was a Saturday. The quiet buzz in shop died down as everyone stared at Lavi in surprised.

''Lavi? Is that you?'' Jerry asked, shocked, taking in the disheveled sight of the redhead. ''I know that you're late, but there's no need for you to rush here in your pajamas.'' In his haste to get away from Tyki, Lavi had cycled to the Black Café for refuge in his plain green pajamas. Though for some unknown reasons, the customers all blushed red upon seeing Lavi's flushed flustered face, messy hair and shirt which was slipping down one shoulder.

''I... It...It's Ty... Tyki...'' Lavi panted, as he slumped against the door.

''Hmmm... What about me?'' A deep voice asked from behind as a pair of hands draped a coat on Lavi's shoulders, the scent of mint and cigarettes assaulting his nose. Just then, squeals and screams could be heard from their audience, welcoming back the writer.

''Ty...Tyki... Why? How?'' Lavi stuttered, shocked.

''I do own a car you know.''

''I... I... Get away from me!'' Lavi squirmed, trying to get out of Tyki's hold.

''Sorry love, but we need to talk.'' Tyki said as he hoisted Lavi over his shoulder like a rice sack, ignoring the younger boy's demands to be put down. ''Jerry, can I borrow the back room?''

''Sure,'' Jerry answered readily,'' Just don't dirty it.''

''Jerry!'' Lavi yelled over the squeals.

''Got it.'' Tyki said as he made his way to the back room. A loud click could be heard telling everyone that the room was locked causing the girls to go crazy imagining what was going behind the closed door.

After dumping Lavi onto a chair, Tyki suddenly trusted a folder into Lavi's face. ''Here, the deed.''

''I don't need to see it,'' Lavi said, pushing the folder away. ''I wouldn't have run away if I didn't believe you.''

''I know.'' Came the straight forward reply.

''Then what's there to talk about?''

''Your sleeping arrangements. Let me make this perfectly clear, you are going to stay with me.'' Tyki said in a tone that brooked no argument.

''What! Why?'' Lavi asked in indignation.

''One, you belong to me.'' At this, Lavi blushed furiously and started to denied when Tyki cut him off. ''Two, you have no place to stay till your house has finished renovation. Three, it was in the contract that when I brought the house. I must let the shounen's friends stay should they need a place and this particular condition holds for a year.''

''I will not live you!''

''Have you not been listening?'' Tyki sigh. ''I must let the shounen's friends stay if they need a place.''

''I heard that the first time,'' Lavi sulked. ''But that does not mean that I have to live with you!''

''Un-huh. So where are you gonna live?'' Tyki asked, amused. ''As far as I know, you have no friends that could currently accommodate you at the moment.''

''I'll figure something out!'' Lavi said, frustrated that the older man knew so much about him.

''There's no way out, love. And are you trying to make a dishonest man out of me?'' Tyki asked with a wounded look on his face.

''W... Wh... What?'' Lavi asked disbelievingly.

''I need to fulfilled my end of the contract you know,'' Tyki said, faking a troubled look. ''Plus your stuff is already at my place and I won't even charge you for the stay.'' Tyki smiled innocently, hoping that the rabbit would fall for it.

''What's the catch?'' Lavi asked wearily after weighing his options.

At this, Tyki grinned wildly. ''I just need your body and time.''

''Well then, I'll pick you up at six,'' Tyki said, waving goodbye to the redhead before he drove off.

''Awwww... So sweet, have you finally accepted his feelings? Lavi-chan?'' Jerry asked happily. Their customers peaking up their ears in anticipation of the rabbit's reply.

''I just can't walk out in public in my pjs can I?'' Lavi replied calmly, serving cakes in his waiter uniform. ''Besides its along the way so he said he'll give me a ride.'' It was the truth or part of it, Lavi would never tell these perverted audience that they were going to live together. He will never hear the end of their teasing. When Tyki said that he wanted his body, he almost had a heart attack. It turns out that Tyki just wanted him to do the housework. Seriously, why must that idiot say it in such way that most people would misunderstand.

''I see...'' Jerry nod in agreement with a secretive smile of his that seemed to say that he knew what was going on.

''Tyki, do you still have anything else for me to do,'' Lavi called out from the kitchen as he dried the dishes.

Dinner, cooked by Lavi, was a surprising quiet affair with no incidents happening. Tyki was in his gentleman mode, making no moves at Lavi safe that he kept staring at Lavi throughout the dinner.

''Hmmm... I don't think there's anything else needed to do at the moment.'' Tyki answered stepping into the kitchen.

''Then I'm... Tkyiiii!'' Lavi yelled extremely red in the face when he saw the state Tyki was in.

Just out of bath, Tyki golden orbs were shining with content comparable to a cat. He wore nothing but a small towel. Beads of water dripped from his wavy hair onto his body outlining every muscle. The small towel did it's job so well that it not only covered Tyki's lower regions, but showed off a pair of long strong legs.

''What?'' Tyki asked oblivious, pouring himself a glass of water.

''I'm going to bed,'' Lavi mumbled as he backed away from Tyki all the while keeping his eyes on the floor. When he was safely out of the kitchen, he ran straight to his bedroom and slammed the door shut.
