These Boots Were Made For Walking
Chapter Four
Tooru had noticed that in the past week Yuujirou and Mikoto kept disappearing together. So not only was he bored as he was left on his own, he was also incredibly curious as to what the other two boys were doing.
On his search he'd bumped into Akira who had told him where he could find his fellow princesses. However nothing could have prepared him for the sight that met his eyes when he opened the door.
Seeing Tooru enter the room, Yuujirou who had been shouting random threats at Mikoto moved towards him. Unconsciously Tooru took a step back.
"Yuujirou, why is Mikoto standing on one foot, on a chair with a book on his head, a plate of cake in one hand and a glass of milk in the other?"
Yuujirou smiled at Tooru indulgently.
"I'm teaching Mikoto how to walk."
That didn't actually make anything clearer for Tooru.
"But is all this absolutely necessary?"
At Tooru's next question Yuujirou's smile turned slightly sinister. Sometimes Tooru was truly afraid of what went on in the other boy's head.
"Of course, how else am I supposed to teach Mikoto how to walk in heels if I don't teach him how to balance first?"
Tooru had been too busy looking at Mikoto in disbelief to notice the studying look Yuujirou had been giving him. But as the blonde spoke, Tooru sincerely wished he'd never been so curious as to look for the two boys, he also cursed Akira for not warning him, although this did explain the scared look Akira had given him along with the directions to the classroom.
"In fact you could do with a bit of practice too Tooru, you're not that great at walking in heels either."
Which is how Tooru found himself also balancing on one foot, on a chair with a book on his head, a plate of cake in one hand and a glass of milk in the other next to Mikoto.
"At least you didn't have to practice walking with a mop tied to your back." Mikoto whispered to Tooru almost ruefully.
"What?" Tooru wasn't sure he actually wanted to know but before Mikoto could give a reply; their conversation was interrupted by Yuujirou shouting, again.
"Did I say you could talk? Now concentrate! Look forward, keep your hands spread out, keep your left leg up! If you drop anything I will punish you!"
Yuujirou was smiling again, definitely not a good sign.
