AN: A little bit more on the emotional side…

Chapter 4

Several days have passed since the drunken evening and not a word has been said about it. Infact, not a word has been said at all. Yuki and Kyo were avoiding eachother at all costs; they didn't want to talk to one another. Kyo was wondering if it was because of that evening, or whether Yuki just didn't want to talk. Whatever it was, Kyo couldn't stand the silence much longer.

He got up and walked into the main room. It was 4pm and Yuki had spent most of the day out, much to Kyo's satisfaction. He had come home about an hour ago, and, even though Kyo actually spoke to him, he hadn't said a word. He was now sitting infront of the TV, using anything, it seemed, to stop Kyo from talking to him.

"Hey-" Kyo started, the tense atmosphere almost killing him. Yuki pretended to pay no attention to him, and as a retaliation, turned the TV up louder.

"HEY, LISTEN TO ME!!" Kyo screamed, trying to be heard over Jamie Oliver's now booming voice (Yuki likes cooking shows?...well, he does now.).

"What?" Yuki hissed darkly, turning sharply to face him. Kyo was scared; he wasn't acting like he usually was, but Kyo knew something had to be done.

"Look! If you don't talk to me then how are we supposed to survive here for two weeks?!?"

"Would you rather we were fighting?" Yuki said, turning the TV off and standing up, turning once again to face Kyo.

"I WOULD RATHER THAT THAN THIS CRAP!" he screamed, hiding the fact that he was scared of what Yuki's retaliation to that would be.

Yuki slowly walked over to Kyo. Kyo thought of backing away, but he wanted to sort things out, whether it involed being punched or not. And it did.

"HEY!!!!!!" screamed Kyo, getting up after being smacked into the wall.

"You said you would rather that than not talking." said Yuki calmy, walking over to Kyo "And there's no way I'm talking to you."

He walked slowly back towards the TV. "OI!!!" Kyo screamed, following him. He was trying to sort things out but this was just getting unbearible. "LOOK, I'm JUST TRYING TO SORT--"

Yuki turned around sharply and kicked him in the stomach. Kyo was sent flying into the kitchen. Yuki stormed in after him. "Look." he said darkly. "If I don't want to talk to you, deal with it." He walked towards the door.

"But come on...there has to be SOME reason you don't want to talk to me that badly..." said Kyo, trying to say something in his defense before Yuki left the room.

Yuki stopped. "No." he said, not turning around. "I just don't want to talk to...a stupid cat like you."

"But there has to be--"

"Shut up."

Kyo was shocked. The coldness in the way Yuki was speaking seemed as if he had just stabbed him.

"But--"

"Shut up."

This time it was even more intense than the first.

"Yu--"

"SHUT UP!"

Yuki grabbed Kyo and slammed him into the corner, smashing his head into the wall in the process. Kyo numbly tried to stand up, as Yuki loomed above him. Yuki grabbed Kyo's shirt collar and pulled him upright. "JUST LISTEN TO ME!!"

The room fell silent. The only noises were the wind in the trees outside and Yuki's deep, shallow breathing. Kyo thought about lifting him arm up to hold his head after the hit but was too scared of what Yuki might do. After a short while, Yuki loosened his grip on Kyo's shirt, calming down after his sudden outburst.

"Listen." he said, almost whispering. "I usually like to keep my feelings to myself, but...this...this just feels like something I need to talk to you about. I--I...really don't know how to say this...". His fingers tightened on Kyo's shirt, his hands shaking slightly.

"Why is he so scared?..." thought Kyo, looking at the child-like figure clinging to him. "He looks like a little kid..."

"Y-Yuki?..." he said, reaching his hand out to comfort him. As soon as he saw this, Yuki smacked it away.

"I don't need comforting by someone like you!!" Yuki screamed, backing away. When Kyo noticed this, he grabbed his arm. Yuki looked up at him in shock, almost crying. Suddenly Kyo's heart gave in to the childish boy infront of him and pulled him into his arms, holding onto him tightly.

"I'll never let you go!" Kyo cried "I don't care what you think of this, but I love you, Yuki! And I always will..."

Spending time with you is what I live for
