Here's Chapter 4~ Enjoy~
Chapter 4: Date and Developing Feelings
Shouichi protest weakly as he snuggled closer at the warmth residing next to him.
"Shou-chan…It's time to wake up…" a soft whisper in his ear. Shouichi moaned. "Hm…five more minutes…" the redhead mumbled softly. He was actually thankful that the annoyance ceased but the other man in the room wasn't going to give up so easily. A victorious smile flashing on his pale face, he slipped a hand at the redhead's shirt slowly moving upwards.
"Mn!" Shouichi instantly gasped at the alien sensation and grabbed the offending hand. His eyes snapped open only to be met by lavender ones.
"Oh~ Shou-chan is already awake~" Byakuran smiled brilliantly at the redhead. Shouichi glared at the white haired man. "W-what are you doing here?" he managed to asked as he took away Byakuran's hand from his shirt. Byakuran pouted at the redhead. He had been in the redhead's room all night since the since person never really wanted to let go of his him. He was very satisfied that he didn't even gotten enough sleep. He was just happy watching the redhead sleep so adorably in his arms.
"Wah~ Wah~! Shou-chan told me to just stay with him~ and he also wouldn't let go of my hand~" Byakuran sang grinning. Shouichi flushed at that. Really? I did that? "That's a lie!" he shouts, earning an airy chuckle from Byakuran. The white haired man pushed the redhead to his back, his hands on either side of Shouichi's head. The redhead blush became redder than his hair at their position. He desperately pushed on the other man's chest but it was like pushing a hundred pound rock.
Byakuran chuckled at the redhead's futile effort in pushing him away. He leaned in closer to the redhead that their foreheads were touching each other. Shouichi stopped, as he was stared by Byakuran's lavender eyes. The redhead squirmed under the strange gaze. Byakuran's smile faded as the redhead looked away from him.
"Shou-chan," Shouichi trembled slightly as Byakuran whispered his name in his ear hoarsely. The redhead remained silent though his face was obviously heating up at their close proximity. Byakuran sighed before he chuckled earning a confused look from Shouichi. The white haired man moved away from the redhead and straightened himself.
"Ah~ Shou-chan is embarrassed~ How cute~" Byakuran squealed, like a girl. Shouichi glared at him. "WHAT? I'm not embarrassed! And stop calling me cute!" The redhead said throwing a pillow at the white haired man's face. Byakuran smiled down at the redhead before he grabbed the embarrassed Shouichi into an embrace. "Hey! What the-"
"I'm sorry Shou-chan…" Byakuran mumbled in the redhead's hair. Shouichi remain silent, what is he apologizing for?
"If I wasn't able to save you yesterday you would have been…" Byakuran trailed off his arms tightening around the redhead. Shouichi's eyes widened. Yes, that's right. Yesterday-he, Yesterday-Byakuran…saved him from…
"Shou-chan…if anything happens to you…I…"Byakuran nuzzled the redhead's cheek. Shouichi's face flooded with color. "Hey…its okay now, I'm fine right? Stop worrying…" the redhead muttered. Then he came to a stop. What the hell made him said that? Like he didn't want Byakuran to worry about him too much. Something is telling him to comfort the white haired man and that totally confused the redhead.
"But Shou-chan!" Byakuran moved away from the redhead brows furrowed together and a pout on his face as he stared at the redhead.
"If anything happens to you! I-I don't know what I'll do…" At that, Shouichi's eyes widened at the expression that Byakuran was actually showing now. The white-haired man looked like a kicked puppy that was thrown away by his beloved master on the trash. The other man tugged at the redhead's sleeve.
"That is why I still disapprove of Shou-chan leaving here!" Now that he mentioned it. Shouichi still had that plan of leaving Byakuran's mansion.
"Oh, now that you mention that…I'm still leaving." Declared the redhead with a small smile but once he saw Byakuran's face, he felt something in him hurt. The look on the other man's face was really adorable but full of sadness. Byakuran's lips curved into a frown and…are those tears? Uh oh…
"Eh? No! I still won't allow it Shou-chan! A-And besides! Does Shou-chan have a place to stay aside from here?" Byakuran asked staring at the redhead straight in the eye. Shouichi felt a brow twitched. Yes, that's right…I still don't have a place to stay but what's the use of their house right? Oh god, puppy dog eyes…
Damn it! Don't look at me like that!
"Well…I can always go home." The redhead looked away from the other man, fearing he might actually change his mind. He never thought that Byakuran could actually affect him to the point that he would change his mind about living in his house. Being with Byakuran is making him felt flustered and he doesn't like it. He became very wary of the feeling.
"Home? But Shou-chan…didn't you know? Your parents went to a vacation." Byakuran chirped wiping the tears away. Shouichi turned to Byakuran. "V-Vacation?" he asked. The taller man smiled and jumped back at the redhead's bed. "Yes! Oh! And I promised your mother told me to take good care of you Shou-chan." Byakuran's eyes gleamed mischievously as he studied the redhead's form with a smirk. Shouichi shifted at the attention and swallowed slowly. Byakuran was staring at him strangely and the redhead felt his cheeks burn.
"Shou-chan, at least stay here until your parents return from their trip." Byakuran's tone was now serious but the smile remained on his pale face. Shouichi was silent for a moment. It wouldn't be bad to stay right? And how would he even make money for himself? Even though he was smart, he still depends on his parents, believe it or not. Sighing, the redhead finally said. "Fine." Shouichi was able to grab Byakuran before he could even reach the redhead which the achromatic-haired man pouted at. "But at least let me have some privacy, Byakuran-san."
Byakuran smiled. "So, Shou-chan will stay?" he asked, acting like a kid. Shouichi sighed. I have no choice huh…
"Yes, I'll stay." Shouichi could have sworn he would regret this for the rest of his life but seeing Byakuran smile and look incredibly happy, he just got the feeling that everything will be okay. "Waa~ I love you Shou-chan!" This time, Byakuran grabbed the redhead to an embrace. "E-eh…ah!" Redder than ever, the redhead stuttered as he pushed Byakuran away.
"Okay, if I have to stay here I want to set rules for myself." He started earning confused look from Byakuran. "Rules?" the achromatic-haired male tilted his head to the side, making him look cuter. But the redhead wouldn't fall for that. "Yes." And before Byakuran could even open his mouth to say something the redhead interrupted him.
"Rule no.1: You knock if you need anything, don't barge into my room without knocking." Byakuran smiled and to the redhead's surprise, nodded without saying anything. "Rule no.2: you don't harass me for any reason!" Byakuran now turned serious but still nodded. "Rule no.3: Don't touch me without permission." And now, Byakuran's pout was already visible but the redhead ignored it. "And rule no.4: You don't sleep in my room without my permission!" said the redhead proudly that he thought he was the owner of the house. But well, if Byakuran really wanted him to stay that much, he should follow right? Shouichi is very smart nee?
And this time Byakuran whined. "Eh! No way~ Why are the rules like that?" Shouichi felt his nerves twitch. "Fine, you want me to leave instead?" he asked. At that Byakuran frowned. "O-Okay…if it means Shou-chan doesn't have to leave…I'll bear with it."
Bear with it?
"Good, so could you go now? I still need to bathe." Shouichi demanded, got to his feet and dragged Byakuran to the door.
"Ah~ Shou-chan is being forceful~" Byakuran chirped grinning at the redhead. Shouichi scratched his vermillion locks in irritation as he opened the door and pushed Byakuran out. "See you…" he mumbled, looking away from the white man. Before he could even move a muscle, the lavender eyed man grabbed his wrist then leaned in…kissing him chastely on the forehead. Completely stunned, Shouichi froze. Byakuran chuckled softly.
"Oho~ Shou-chan is blushing~ How cute~" Shouichi snapped up at Byakuran, blushing furiously. "I'm not cute!" he snaps before he slammed the door at the other man's face. The redhead could hear Byakuran's melodic laugh on the other side of the door. "Come down for breakfast m'kay Shou-chan~" Byakuran said, then continued laughing as if he was very satisfied.
Shouichi, totally mortified, froze to that spot. Oh god…he rubbed his temple in a soothing manner. The color remained on his face. 'Oho~ Shou-chan is blushing~ How cute~" the sentence echoed in the redhead's mind. Shouichi mentally slaps himself for that. 'Get a hold of yourself Shouichi!' he thought. 'A stupid kiss shouldn't affect you like this.' His legs gave out and he fell to the floor. Something is wrong with him.
The place was dark and totally untidy, twirling her sky-blue hair in irritation, Bluebell glared at the three men in front of her. Her two companions giggling softly behind her, most probably whispering about the handsome raven haired man with matching crimson orbs. But she ignored them though; she was too preoccupied with the people in front of her.
"Did I just heard you right?" she snapped at the raven haired man sitting at the center of the couch. The man chuckled softly. "You heard me." He smirked, totally enjoying the murderous aura Bluebell was currently emitting. At that, Bluebell finally snapped.
"AH! So useless! Didn't I told you to get rid of that brat! Totally stupid!" she shouts. The two other man beside the raven haired began sweating furiously but their boss seem unaffected. Bluebell scowled at their trembling form then turned to the raven man.
"Ran! I thought you said that you're gonna do it without fail! How could this happen!" she glared coldly at the man. Ran smiled, twirling gently in his fingers a red rose. Though having bruises on his face, he still looked incredibly handsome. He laughed earning a confused look from Bluebell.
"What's so funny?" Bluebell snaps, feeling more annoyed than she used to be. "Ahaha…To answer your question," he paused smiling devilishly. "I was mesmerized you see…" he trailed off tightening his hold on the rose in his hand. Bluebell raises a brow at him. "Mesmerized? You?" she asked earning an airy chuckle from the man.
"Yes, seem like I can't do the job Bluebell-chan, I think the deal is off." Bluebell smirks at that. "Really? You already know what'll happen right?"
Ran grinned. "Of course~" he sang. "Hmph! Fine. I never needed you anyway." She spats coldly. "Let's go girls, we are wasting our time here." She signals her followers out of the unclean room. As soon as the door closed, laughter filled the room.
"A-Ano…boss," a hesitant voice on his right. "Hm?"
"Is it really okay to do that? I mean…" the blonde on the right trailed off. "Of course, what she'll do doesn't actually scare me." Ran muttered. "And besides…I have something more interesting." He smiles. "More interesting?" the two men asked at the same time. But their boss merely chuckled. 'Ah~ I want to meet you again…Shou-kun…" he thought to himself, smirking inwardly.
Pushing his glasses further to the bridge of his nose, Shouichi follows silently behind Byakuran's younger sibling. After bathing, Shouichi was about to do his homework when Ghost-(thankfully it was not Byakuran) went to the redhead's room and told him to come down for breakfast. And Shouichi, being new to Millefiore mansion, certainly didn't know the place that well and was just happily accompanied by Ghost.
Millefiore mansion-probably the biggest mansion Shouichi had ever seen. It would even take minutes to walk from the mansion to their gate. And it didn't surprise the redhead to find guards too. After all, Gesso family is one of the riches people in the world-or that's what he heard from people in his class. The mansion, in Shouichi's opinion was very beautiful. Everything is beautiful. Though it was just a two story mansion, it was still big and if the redhead would walk around alone, he'll definitely get lost.
"chi…"
"Shouichi?" The redhead snapped out of his thoughts to find Ghost staring at him with worried expression on his face. Shouichi mentally shook his head for being absent-minded.
"Uh-Yes?"
"I was asking if you're alright. Are you?" Ghost asked, as if he was a worried mother who was very observant of her son's moods. Shouichi offered a small smile at the man. "Uh, Yes, I'm sorry I was spacing out." He scratched his hair in embarrassment. Really, what's with him lately?
"Oh…I see," Ghost just nodded and continued walking. Shouichi sighed mentally, following the taller man briskly.
"I heard you were actually staying, is that true?" Ghost was now on his side watching him. Shouichi blinked and blinked some more. "Uh…Yes…" the redhead turned to him and nodded. "Hmm…" Ghost smiled. "Byakuran-san told you?" Shouichi asked. Ghost nodded. Well, obviously, Byakuran must have told everyone. "I'm glad…" Ghost whispered but was loud enough for the redhead to hear.
"Glad?" Shouichi raised a brow at him. Ghost blinked then smiled. "Yes, that you're staying here." Ghost said bluntly. Color flooded through Shouichi's face. "Ah-I see…" he stuttered quickly looking away from the man. Ah…there it goes again…
Shouichi was beginning to seriously think that something is wrong with him. Not only Byakuran managed to make his heart beat faster but also his sibling? Shouichi seriously have to distance himself from the two identical males before he encounters a heart attack.
"I bet my brother's also very glad to have you here." Ghost said still smiling, but the redhead seems to feel the sudden change of his mood or maybe he was just imagining things? Ghost stopped at turned to Shouichi with a slight frown on his face. Shouichi blinked. "Shouichi…I-"he slowly reached out…
"Ghost…" a cold and deep voice called out. Ghost immediately dropped his hand and turned to the newcomer. Shouichi turned as well to find a familiar teal-haired male-Kikyo was it?
"Kikyo, what is it?" Ghost asked, his voice becoming a bit cold. Shouichi was beginning to think that there was some internal war going on between the two. Kikyo's expression was as calm and collected as always but he was actually glaring-thankfully not at Shouichi but at the white man beside him.
"Byakuran-sama wants Irie Shouichi immediately." Kikyo spoke. Shouichi frowned at the name.
"Uh…of course," Ghost looked quite dejected.
"Please follow me." Kikyo turned to the redhead. "Uh…okay…" he walked to wards Kikyo before stopping and turned to Ghost. "You're not coming?" he asked. Ghost smiled and shook his head.
"I still have business to attend to." He said. Shouichi frowned. He can't help it. He just felt down all of a sudden. "Oh…" he felt sad for some strange reason. Ghost seems to notice the redhead's sudden mood change. Smiling, Ghost reached out and patted Shouichi's red locks.
"Don't worry," Ghost smiled sweetly ignoring the reappearing of the murderously aura directed at him. "We'll talk more when I have the time." Shouichi feels his mood lift up at that and nodded. Kikyo grabbed the other man's hand away.
"We should go. Byakuran-sama is waiting." Kikyo pulled the redhead away from Ghost. The white man just chuckled at the action.
"See you later Shouichi," Ghost waved at the redhead. Shouichi waved back. "See you later Ghost-san." He yelped as Kikyo pushed him to the other direction. Shouichi just let the teal-haired male have his way but was still confused with his actions. It seemed like Kikyo didn't want Ghost to touch or even be around the redhead. And he certainly didn't want to know about the reason. The redhead was so deep in thought again that he failed to catch Kikyo's death glare at Ghost.
Ghost sighed as he stared at Shouichi and Kikyo's retreating forms. At when I finally got to talk to Shouichi, I was still interrupted…tch…
"Kufufu…what's with the long face?" a familiar voice asked. Ghost turned to the owner of the voice. This man seemed familiar, with a weird pineapple hair style and mismatched eyes. This man is…
"Rokudo Mukuro…" Ghost mumbled the man's name. He frowned. It was no surprise that Mukuro would barge in into their house like this. Mukuro was his elder brother's childhood friend, or Byakuran's rival since childhood. And Ghost certainly knew about the man. He's the son of a noble family after all. Mukuro chuckled at the look in Ghost's face.
"Oya? Oya?" Is this how you greet your older brother's childhood friend?" Mukuro grinned. "Friend? Since when did you even considered yourself as my brother's friend?" Ghost scoffed. Mukuro laughed, leaning against the wall.
"What are you doing here anyway? I thought you were in Italy." Ghost asked, inspecting the other man from head to toe.
"I don't have to answer your question." Mukuro smirked, devilishly. Ghost felt a nerve inside him twitch. Really, it was certainly no use talking or even questioning this man. Slipping his hands to the pocket of his jeans, Ghost turned to leave.
"Hey, I heard something interesting." Mukuro suddenly said but Ghost ignored him. "Irie Shouichi is staying here nee?" the pineapple-haired male added, smiling as Ghost came to a halt. Turning, he fixes Mukuro a glare.
"How do you know that?" he asked coldly. Mukuro's lips curved into a wicked grin. "I have my sources Ghost-kun…" he replied, mismatched eyes gleaming mischievously.
"It's none of your business Mukuro." Ghost frowned at Mukuro's grin. He knows that grin. "And don't even think about planning something." Ghost's frown deepened as Mukuro's grin grew into new heights.
"Oya? You think I'm planning something?" Mukuro asked with a hint of innocent wonder.
"You are always scheming something." Ghost rolled his eyes and as a respond was a chuckle. "Stay away from Shouichi, Mukuro." Ghost warned. Mukuro's expression became serious.
"Oya? I think you should be the one who should stay away from him Ghost-kun." Mukuro countered. Ghost was now silent but his eyes narrowed. "Oho…Yes, you should stay away." Mukuro smirked, observing every single reaction at the next words that escaped his mouth.
"After all, Irie Shouichi was your brother's first love and his precious childhood friend." Mukuro felt victorious at the moment he saw Ghost visibly flinch.
"Oya? What's with the long face?" Mukuro teased. Ghost straightened himself, expression unreadable.
"I know that, Nii-san wouldn't hurt Shouichi. But I warn you again, Rokudo Mukuro,." Ghost paused, giving the pineapple man his coldest glare before continuing. "Stay away from Shouichi." He warned before finally turning and walk to where it was he was going.
Mukuro frowned at Ghost's retreating form. 'Ah…Sorry Ghost-kun, But I can't do that…' he thought to himself. 'It's nice to play again now that Irie Shouichi is back here again.'
"Just like in the past…Kufufu…"Mukuro muttered to himself.
"Shou-chan! Shou-chan!" Shouichi winced at the loudness of Byakuran's voice. The redhead observed the extravagant designs of the dining room. 'Wow…' was the only thought in his head. Everything was so beautifully designed. There were foods on the table and Byakuran's-servants-er…bodyguards were already sitting down. And Byakuran was smiling at him and was pointing at the chair next to him. As though he wanted the redhead to go and sit there. Shouichi cursed inwardly.
Kikyo bowed at the white man in the center of the large table. "Sorry for making you wait, Byakuran-sama." Kikyo apologized. Byakuran smiled sweetly at the teal-haired male.
"Maa~ it's okay Kikyo-kun~" Byakuran coaxed. Shouichi twitched as he saw the teal-haired man flush slightly. The redhead irritably gritted his teeth.
'What a flirt.' Shouichi rolled his eyes. Why is he feeling irritated all of a sudden?
Turning to the redhead, Byakuran smiled. "Come Shou-chan," he said. Hesitantly, Shouichi walked towards Byakuran. Feeling all eyes were on him, Shouichi bit his lip as he sat beside Byakuran.
"Waa~ I can't believe Shou-chan is here~" Grabbing Shouichi's hand, Byakuran nuzzled it with his cheek. Flushing, Shouichi tried to yank his hand away but Byakuran is surprisingly strong and only tightened his grip on the redhead's hand. Byakuran's smile grew into new heights. Shouichi seemed to know that resisting was futile, but he couldn't help but want to take his hand. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest and the heat on his cheeks was already making his inside turn into a hundred of uncomfortable knots. Shouichi was seriously beginning to hate the feeling, especially since it was cause by no other than the very person holding his hand right now.
"Ah~ Ah~ Okay…now that Shou-chan is here, let's eat~" Byakuran said, still holding Shouichi's hand. And with that Shouichi was beginning to think why there were only marshmallows on Byakuran's plate.
[30 Minutes Later]
Completely full, Shouichi dropped to his bed. Thankful that breakfast was finally over and he was finally free from Byakuran's presence. At breakfast, Shouichi could swear it was the worse breakfast he ever had. It's not that he hated the food (he actually loved it), but it was because of Byakuran. He was talking about nonsense the whole time. And he obviously made fun and embarrassed the redhead by telling everyone of what happened earlier in the morning. Shouichi never felt mortified in his entire life and it was all Byakuran's fault. But somehow, it also made the redhead quite happy.
He was getting-oh god-comfortable being with Byakuran. Shouichi immediately sat up. Oh god, oh oh oh oh God…something is happening to me…
Shouichi buried his face in his palms. Something is really wrong with him, he was sure about it. 'Something is really wrong with me…'
"Shou-chan~!"
Shouichi yelped as he was tackled to his bed. "Wha-Bya-Byakuran-san!" the redhead flushed as he found himself in a very compromising position.
"Shou-chan~" Byakuran nuzzled the redhead's cheek with his in a very intimate manner. Shouichi sat there, totally stunned to even comprehend what was happening. Smiling, Byakuran pulled away from the redhead.
"Let's go Shou-chan~" Byakuran grabbed the redhead's wrist and began dragging him out of his room. It took for five minutes when Shouichi finally snapped back into reality. "Bya-Byakuran-san! Wh-Where are we going?" Shouichi stuttered as he tried to catch up at the taller man's pace. An amused chuckle escaped from the other man's lips as he continued to drag the redhead.
"We are going on a date Shou-chan~" Byakuran simply said. The redhead acted so late that he just realized that they were going out of the house with a car waiting outside for them. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, he was forced into the car and Byakuran followed after him. The car immediately started and the only thing on the redhead's mind was…'what the hell?'
If Shouichi really have to describe the day (it's not a date damn it!) with Byakuran...it's simply as exhausting as hell! He never had been very exhausted in his entire life (though there were times were he would be when he was finishing some homework), but not as exhausted as he is now. They were currently at the amusement park. Byakuran had dragged the redhead to many rides and places, the roller coaster and probably every single ride that was on the park.
But despite being forced to go with the childish white haired male, he (though he wouldn't say it out loud) was totally having fun. It may be exhausting to be dragged around without stopping for a rest, but it was fun. May be the most fun Shouichi had in years. It had been such a long time he had last went to an amusement park with anyone, the last time he remembered was, probably when he was a child.
Byakuran was-well, he was still acting like a five-year old. Totally oblivious to the stares of the people when he was acting like a kid who kept on protesting and whining if Shouichi wouldn't ride with him. And without anymore arguments, Shouichi rides with him anyway. In the redhead's opinion, he had never seen Byakuran this happy before. (Well, they had only known each other for-two days? Or was it three?) And it can be seen at the way the white haired male was acting. His smile was as brighter than the usual and every time he would look at the redhead, he would always have this light shade of red in his face, though the redhead just brushed it off as nothing.
Shouichi was also having fun (even though he was tired). He never thought that he would actually like spending time with Byakuran, on a date-er…the park. It was all fun until, Shouichi suddenly felt irritated.
Finally after a few dragging here and there, Shouichi has finally given the chance to rest at a small shop with Byakuran beside him who was happily eating his marshmallows. Everything was okay at that moment when suddenly a couple of girls on the other table definitely seemed to be observing his white haired companion. Giggling, the girls started to whisper. Shouichi chose to ignore them, but when his companion seems to notice them, he could swear his blood starting to boil at the moment Byakuran waved and smiled sweetly at them.
Shouichi feels a strange emotion flicker inside him and the grip on his hands curled into fists the girls waved back at the white haired man. Shouichi tells to himself over and over, calm down…calm down…
But seem like fate isn't so fond of Shouichi, the girls-there were actually four of them, came to their table and asked sweetly. "Um, can we join you?" one of the girls asked, her all focus was on the handsome white haired man, and it seemed like Shouichi wasn't there at all. 'No, you can't.' the redhead wants to say, but refrains, after all he didn't own the place. And Byakuran wouldn't even-
"Sure~" Byakuran chirped. Shouichi's jaw dropped to the floor. What? The four beautiful girls looked at each other before smiling at Byakuran before sitting down on the empty chairs on their table. Shouichi keeps himself composed at his seat. The girls began blushing and whisper as they fidgeted.
"So, you ladies enjoying the place?" Byakuran asked, totally preoccupied with the pretty girls in front of him. Shouichi thought Byakuran has forgotten that he was still there.
"Yes, it's a very nice place." One with auburn hair said, giggling sweetly. "It's the best place we ever went to" another with blond hair added.
"I'm glad you're enjoying~" Byakuran smiled at them. Shouichi's brows twitched, he noticed how the girls where blushing at the white man's smile and how they constantly look at each other. And then Shouichi finally noticed, they were obviously being flirtatious with Byakuran and the man is simply flirting with them too! And what's worse! He was doing it in front of Shouichi! The redhead feels himself snap and thoughts were going on a war in his head, thoughts like… 'Byakuran and he were on a date right? How could he flirt with other girls in front of him? And why is he feeling this way anyway? Could it be…?'
Shouichi exactly knew what he felt right now. And he couldn't believe he was feeling it now. It was jealousy. He was jealous that Byakuran was talking to other girls, he was jealous because Byakuran was focusing on another people other than him, he was jealous because he-because he...he…does he like Byakuran? The thought itself made the redhead flush, no...No…no…I do not like him! I can't like him! I don't even-
"So, what are you and your friend doing here?" another girl with red haired asked, looking at Byakuran then to Shouichi. The white haired man turned to the silent redhead in his side and smiled sweetly. "We are just enjoying ourselves really~" was all he said and Shouichi felt a strange throbbing inside him.
"Ah, Sorry for asking but, can we know your name?" The last girl asked, and her companions were eager to know the handsome white man's name. Byakuran turned to them and grinned. "It's Byakuran Gesso, and this is Shou-chan~" he introduced himself and the redhead on his side. (is it really okay to give your name to strangers?)
"Eh? Gesso? The Byakuran Gesso?" they asked. Byakuran nodded. They seem to be in awe and started panicking. "Oh my god~" they practically knew how famous the Gesso family is, and to the point that they can't believe they would meet someone as handsome and famous in this park.
"Ah~ Can we have a picture of you?" one of the girls asked. Byakuran was about to speak when the redhead on his side suddenly stood up.
"Shou-chan?" Byakuran turned to the redhead. "I'm going to the bathroom." Was all the redhead mumbled before walking out of the table. "Ah-Wah! Shou-chan?" Byakuran called out but the redhead continued walking away.
"Eh? Is something wrong with your friend?" a girl asked.
"Ah, anyway let's-"
"Ah~ Ah~ I'm sorry, but I've got to go~" Byakuran turned to them, smiling mischievously. "Eh? Ah-why?" they asked. Byakuran's smile disappeared and was replaced by a something unreadable.
"I simply don't have time with you ladies~" he said, standing up from his seat and never forgot to grab his plastic full of marshmallows.
"Ano-is it because of your friend?" they asked. Byakuran smirked slyly.
"Yes~ and Shou-chan is not just my friend~" a pause, his eyes gleaming. "He's my fiancé. And my Shou-chan is more important than chatting around with you women." He said coldly before walking out on the stunned girls.
Shouichi sat on a bench, sighing loudly. He was already far away from the store where Byakuran was and he was thankful. He clutch at his stomach, mumbling incoherent words. As he remembered the scene before, he shook his head. 'Stop thinking about it Shouichi' he keeps on saying to himself but he couldn't seem to do it. Seeing Byakuran with other women makes him feel…makes him feel…angry. He doesn't even know when he had started to feel that way.
He scowled at the memory of Byakuran smiling to those girls. Sighing again, Shouichi puts his thoughts away and stood up and made his way to an ice cream stand. Maybe he needs to cool his head off.
"What can I get for you sir?" the employee asks with a smile. "Um, chocolate please." He smiles back. Nodding, the employee immediately makes the order. Shouichi stands there and waits for his order.
"You alone sir?" the employee suddenly asked. Shouichi turned to him and shook his head. "My friend is somewhere…" he awkwardly said the word friend. Byakuran-san was not his friend. The employee laughed earning a confused look from the redhead.
"Ah…your friend abandoned you?" he asked though a smile was on his face. Shouichi flinched involuntarily. "Not really…" he said looking to the ground. The employee seems to notice the redhead's sudden mood change and then he instantly gave the redhead his order.
"Here you go sir, your Cioccolato gelati." He smiled at him. Shouichi mumbled a 'thank you' and grabbed his wallet to pay when the employee suddenly stopped him.
"It's my treat sir, you don't have to pay." He said. Shouichi gave him a confused look . "A-Ano…I don't think-"
"It's okay sir, you really don't have to pay." He repeats. Shouichi hesitates for a moment before he took his ice cream and bows while saying a thank you at him. The employee smiled. Shouichi smiled and walked back to the bench where he was previously sitting but he didn't make it far before he was bumped by a angry looking teenager. Suddenly becoming clumsy, Shouichi's ice cream was dropped into the teen's shirt.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Shouichi bowed to apologize. "Ah! Bastard! Look what you've done!" the teenager snarled. Shouichi cringed. "I'm really sorry." He bowed again.
"You think I would accept your sissy sorry? Bastard!" Shouichi instantly closed his eyes as the teenager was about to give him a bruising punch and he just waited for the impact.
"Hmm…What do you think you're doing to my Shou-chan?" a familiar voice resounded. Shouichi snapped his eyes open to see Byakuran blocking the punch that was only a few inches away from his face.
"Bastard! Who do you think you are?" the teenager glared at Byakuran. The white haired man remained unaffected by the glared.
"That should be my question~" Byakuran playfully countered. "Bastard!" the teenager was about to lunge at Byakuran when he was grabbed in the shoulder by black suited men.
"Is something wrong here sir?" the black suited man asked. The teenager glared at them. "Let me go!" he snarled. Shouichi just watched as the man tried to wrestle out of the black man's grip.
"Ah~ Ah~ Security~ Please take him away~" Byakuran smiled at the black men. They turned to Byakuran and to the teenager's and Shouichi's surprise, they bowed respectfully at him.
"Sorry for the trouble, Gesso-sama." They said in unison. The teenager gaped at Byakuran.
"Don't worry about it just take him away from my sight~" Byakuran demanded. They nodded and bowed again before taking the annoying teenager away. Shouichi sighed and relief flooded through his system.
"Shou-chan, are you okay?" Byakuran turned to the redhead, his face full of concern. Shouichi looked away from Byakuran and clutch at his stomach. He couldn't face Byakuran at the moment.
"Mou Shou-chan, why are you avoiding me?" Byakuran asked moving closely to the redhead. Shouichi bit his bottom lip, still refusing to part his lips and say something. 'This is a reward for flirting with other girls you bastard.' The redhead thought to himself.
"Shou-chan, are you mad?" Byakuran grabbed Shouichi arm, the redhead immediately yanked his arm away from Byakuran. "Shou-chan?" the white haired man was now confused. Shouichi twitched and then said coldly.
"Shut up!" he glares at Byakuran before walking away. "Eh? Shou-chan! Wait for me!" Byakuran ran after the redhead. Shouichi increased his pace as Byakuran was already gaining on him. He didn't actually mean that. He couldn't just stand having the white haired man around him any longer. It made him confused and he doesn't like it, not one bit. Byakuran was making him feel thing he never felt before. Jealousy, awkwardness, and the smiles that were making his heart beat faster and flush.
"Shou-chan!" Byakuran calls out but Shouichi ignores him. "Stop following me Byakuran-san." He says. Byakuran catches up to him and grabbed his wrists.
"Come with me Shou-chan," the white haired man drags Shouichi into a Ferris wheel ride. The employee just bowed at Byakuran before he pushes Shouichi inside. "Start the ride immediately." He ordered at the employee who merely nodded. Byakuran followed the redhead inside.
Shouichi sat on the corner as the ride began to start, ignoring the other man's presence as he stared outside.
"Shou-chan, please tell me what's wrong." Byakuran said, brows furrowed and his bottom lip trembling. Shouichi glared at his reflection on the window.
"Shou-chan, are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?" Byakuran tugged the redhead's sleeve. Finally, Shouichi turned to him, eyes narrowing.
"Yes! I'm mad at you!" he shouts. Byakuran's eyes widened.
"Eh? Why? Did I do something wrong?" he asked, innocently. Shouichi scowled. He doesn't even understand why they're having this conversation now, but Shouichi had gone too far to stop now.
"Yes you did! I thought we were on a date! Then why were you chatting around with those girls!" Shouichi blurted out, not realizing the words he just said. Byakuran's eyes-if possible-went even wider.
"Shou-chan that's-"
"Shut up! I don't need your explanations! Flirting around with some women, tch, why did I even come with you?" Shouichi mumbled, looking away from Byakuran. A airy chuckle resounded. Shouichi turned to his companion to see him laughing. He twitched.
"What's so funny?" he demanded. Byakuran laughed at smiled at Shouichi. "So Shou-chan was not mad at me~" Byakuran muttered. Shouichi glared at him.
"I'm mad at you!" he shouted. The white haired man smirked. "No, you're not Shou-chan." He countered.
"Idiot! I'm very very very very mad at-" he stopped when Byakuran pinned him to the glass, hands on the either side of his head.
"No Shou-chan~ you're not mad~" he grinned. Shouichi flushed at their proximity and pushed at Byakuran's chest. "Yes I' am! Move away!" he demanded, pushing more forcefully. Byakuran chuckled and only moved closer to the redhead, limbs bumping against each other.
"No Shou-chan~ you were not mad…" Byakuran whispered in the redhead's ear, provoking a shudder from the redhead. Byakuran chuckled before he continued. "You were jealous Shou-chan~" he practically sang at him. Shouichi's cheeks heat up and his heart thumped faster in his chest.
"Jealous? What do you mean jealous?" he snarled. Byakuran smiled at the redhead, his face just a few inches away from the redhead's. "You are Shou-chan," he grinned. Shouichi's eyes went wide. Oh god…
Byakuran moved a bit closer. Shouichi feels the anticipation building; he went stiff as Byakuran moved closer and closer. Shouichi closed his eyes as he felt Byakuran's warm breath on his cheeks. "I love you, Shou-chan." The white haired man whispered before he closed the distance between them. Shouichi flushed as he felt Byakuran's soft lips against his own. It was only a chaste kiss before Byakuran pulled away, smiling contently.
"Ah~ Shou-chan is really cute~" Byakuran squealed. Shouichi wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before shouting. "Don't call me cute!" he shouted to the top of his lungs. Byakuran only chuckled. This is the best date ever.
Sighing, Byakuran smiled at the redhead who was sleeping on his side, shifting in the car seat so the redhead could sleep on his shoulder.
"You are really exhausted huh…"the achromatic haired male smiled, playing with Shouichi's red locks. "Oh Shou-chan, I'm so glad to know you were jealous." He smiled, remembering the redhead's cute face when he was shouting at him. Kissing the redhead's forehead, Byakuran smirked. "You're so cute Shou-chan, I don't know how long I can control myself." Byakuran mumbled, pushing away the hair that blocked the redhead's face. Byakuran frowned as the redhead moaned in his sleep, moving closely before whispering on the sleeping redhead's ear.
"Don't tempt me Shou-chan…" he muttered. 'I'm almost at my limit after all.' He added to himself as an afterthought.
