Cgapter 4

Taki let himself relax in the hot warm bath. It had been so long since he felt so clean. The dirt washed over his body and into the water. He had to empty the tube twice because the water darken. The filth that came off on him disgusted himself. Making sure he was squeaky clean he laid back in the tub. If a rude bang had not disturbed him he would have stayed in the warm water forever.

"Hey hurry up and don't use all the hot water." Yuki yelled.

Groaning Taki got up. The mean blonde had been kind enough to give him a different pair of clothes but only because he wouldn't stop calling him perverts for dressing him up in that school uniform. Apparently Shuichi's clothes were too small so Eiri let him barrow his. The pants and sleeves were way to long. He looked like a kids wearing their fathers oversize clothes. Why did Eiri have to be so tall? At least they were warm.

Eiri was sitting at the table zipping coffee while reading the news paper. Taki sat down on the sofa watching him. It stayed like that for while, it was very awkward. Only after Eiri finished drinking his coffee did he pay any attention to him.

"So what the fuck happen to you Aizawa?"

"As direct as ever I see. Well Tohma happen. He fired me, ruined my name and made it impossible for me to survive. Well it's not all his fault. I let myself fall into self depression. That pretty much finished me off. I was planning on letting myself die but I guess my survival instincts took in and I found a way to make it day after day. The last few months have been kinda of a blur."

Eiri raised an eye brow. The man said all that so casually. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to react.

...

The doctor had finally arrived and was examining Taki. He flashed a light into his eyes and checked his teeth and blood pressure. He made him stretch his body to test his joints and muscles. Erir was leaning against the wall watching them.

"So are you only any drugs?" he asked.

"No"

"Any allergies?"

"None"

"Past surgeries?"

"When I was five I broke my arm and had to have it fixed." Taki showed him the scare that the bone had made when it priced his skin. Eiri flinched. He imagine how the bone must have looked sticking out of the skin.

"How often do you eat?"

"If I'm lucky once a day."

"I see...hmmm. Your fever has gone down, that's the good news. Bad news is that you're pregnant."

"WHAT!" Taki eyes widen.

"Just kidding" The doctor smiled.

Eiri chuckled from the corner. He hid it behind a cough.

The doctor turned towards him with a prescription.

"He is relatively healthy, just severely malnourished and dehydrated. The medicine I prescribed should boost his immune system. Make sure he eats well and drinks plenty of water. With some rest he should be fine but he it in a very dedicate state. Some vitamins would really help his body rebuild itself. He was practically eating himself. He might experience stomach pain and headaches but that's normal. His body won't be use to eating on a regular basis."

Eiri took the note. "Thank you doctor."

"Oh and make sure he stays warm. In the state he is in now another fever could kill him." The doctor left again leaving the pair in awkward silence.

Taki curled in a spot on the sofa. When he brought his legs against his chest he looked smaller than ever. He had a blanket wrapped around him."So what now, are you going to kick me out?"

"I should but then Shuichi would get mad with me. Freaking brat, I put up with so much for him."

Taki smirked and made a whipping sound with his mouth and flicked his wrist at the same time.

"Shut up punk."

"Awww you gave me a nick name too. I'm touched." The raven haired said sarcastically.

"You're free to leave whenever you want you know. No one will stop you if you leave willingly." Eiri pointed to the door.

"Fine I get the point. Tell your precious Shuichi I left on my own." Standing up he left the blanket on the sofa. He felt much better than before. At least out of all this he got a bath and warm meal. And it was fun hitting Tohma, he remember that for the rest of his life.

A little dizzy he headed towards the door not looking back. He would leave with his head high. Just before grabbing the handle the door swung open and Shuichi rushed in crying. He toppled the weaker man over and landed on top of him.

"Yuki, Tohma made me work for hours. I couldn't even take a break. It was horrible." he cried. He only noticing he was sitting on Taki when the man grunted.

Raising his head the ravenet glared at the vocalist. "You are a brat." He said before head fell back.

"I think he passed out again." Shuichi poked the others cheek repeatedly.

Mean while Eiri had his palm on his fore head signing. "So close."

...

Later that night all three of them were sitting on the sofa watching TV. They were seeing an old comedy movie. Shuichi was leaning against Eiri. The older one had his arm wrapped around him. They were happily enjoying each other company while eating popcorn. Taki was as far away from them as possible. Again he was wrapped in the blanket but not he had an ice bag against his head. A large bump had formed where he hit his head when the pink haired man banged against him.

"I said sorry."

Taki ignored him. He submerged himself deeper into the blanket trying to block out the pink haired man.

"Come on, it's not like I meant to hurt you."

"Like a pussy like you could ever hurt me." He snapped.

"Oh yea then what that bump on your head?" Shuichi yelled.

They both started arguing. Suichi was saying a thousand words a minute while Taki kept cursing. The fighting turned into meaningless name calling. It was like they were in grade school trying to come up with the best mean name.

Eiri was drinking a beer doing his best to ignore them. They were like cats and dogs fighting. The TV was all the way on high and he couldn't hear it over him. Taking another sip he slammed his fist down getting both their attention.

"Shut the hell up and let me watch the fucking TV." He shouted.

Both males sat quietly after that. Neither dared make a sound. This made the blonde smiled. "I still got it."

"A big mouth." Taki mutters.

The singer chuckled. Both frizzed with a glare from Eiri.

….

A week had past and Taki was still staying with them. He mostly stayed in a corner of the sofa watching TV. He said very little and would snap at anybody who tried to make a conversation with him. But Shuichi was never one to let someone ignore him. He'd sit next to Taki and ask him countless questions. He never got an answer to one. He tried making small talk but that was useless to. Finally he resorted to nagging and wining.

"Alright, my favorite color is green." Taki yelled.

Eiri who was drinking coffee smirked. "Big mistake, now he knows he can get what he wants by nagging you."

The pink haired man looked at him with big round eyes. "My favorite color is orange. Are you a cat or dog person?"

Ignoring him Taki looked at Eiri's lap top. He was able to log on before the blonde snatched it away from him.

"Who the hell said you could use my computer and how did you get the password."

"Password is a dumb password. I just wanted to see something. I wasn't going to break it."

Eiri growled. The first thing he do was change the password when he was by himself.

"Do not touch my shit." He growled.

"Ass hole." Taki grumbled. He knew he was going to have to leave soon. They weren't going to be this hospitable forever. He just wanted to make a resume so he started looking for a job. Of course he had to lie about something's, for example his name and his last job.

The pink haired bastard was bothering him again. God why couldn't he leave him alone. This brat should be hateful or terrified of him. Yet he kept acting like he wanted to be his best friend or something.

"Come on Tachi lets go to the park today. You never want to go outside. He tugged on his arm till Eiri stopped him.

"It's too cold for him Shuishi. He might get sick again."

"Awww didn't know you cared blondi." Taki smirked.

"Shut it punk."

Shuichi pressed his hand again Taki's stomach and ran it along his side. "Don't touch me fagot."

"Language" Eiri warned. He was also watching what the pink haired man was doing with interest.

Taki pushed his hand away and recovered himself with the blanket. Dame brat was getting too hansy.

"You're getting better. Now you're not so boney." He commented.

"Yea well that what happens when you eat three times a day."

"Well that reminds me, Shuichi get ready to go out. I made reservations at that new Italian restaurant." Eiri put out the cigarette he was smoking.

"Great, I finally get some peace and quiet." Taki rested comfortable against the sofa and with his hands behind his head.

Taki decided that as soon as they left he smoke Eiri's stash of cigarettes. He wouldn't notice a few missing, after that he use his laptop to make a resume and surf the web for jobs.

The pair was ready to go, but instead of leaving they stood around. This worried the healing male. Shuichi wasn't bothering him like he usually did. He seemed nervous and a little guilty. Eiri on the other hand couldn't stop smiling, but not a sweet smile, it was kind of a mischief sneer.

The door bell rang.

"Looks like your babysitter is here." Eiri smirked as he headed for the front.

It made sense now, the blonde didn't trust him alone in his house. In fairness Taki wouldn't trust himself either. They could have told him ahead of time. Maybe it was because he bitch and say he didn't need a sitter.

"You could have told me." He said to Shuichi

"Hmmmm, wait for it."

He looked at the shorter man in confusion. It was only when Eiri opened the revealing Tohma did he understand.

"Hell no. You couldn't find anyone else? What about that red hair gay guy your friends with." No way was he staying in this house alone with Tohma. Who knows what that bastard would try.

"Hiro is busy today and he's not gay, he's bi. Plus no one but Tohma, Yuki and I know you're here."

Biting his tongue Taki went back to his corner in the sofa. Maybe he could ignore the older man the whole night. Worse came to worse there were knifes in the kitchen.

"Don't worry Aizawa well have fun. And if you're a good boy I'll tuck you in and read you a bed time story later." Tohma dodged the plastic bowel of popcorn that was thrown at him. It landed on the floor. Cornels spilled everywhere.

"That better be cleaned up when we come back" Eiri warned. The ravenet stuck out his tongue.
