Chapter 7 Toby woke up, finding himself not on his bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rusty woke up, finding herself resting on Kaoru's shoulder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Yes, sir?" A maid stood at the front door, looking at a blue-haired boy, the youngest Ootori behind him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toby pulled up just outside his house, then turned to the youngest twin and his sister, "You guys are innocent, right?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toby got up from the table, "I'll go get some more tea. Kyoya, come with me." He took the boys wrist and pulled him to his feet, then led him to the kitchen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaoru arrived back in the loungeroom, bright red.
"Wha?" He yawned, sitting up.
He saw Kyoya lying on the couch next to him.
He's cute when he sleeps. Toby thought, smiling slightly. Kyoya looked so much more relaxed and happy.
But of course the moment was shattered with Toby's phone going off.
Kyoya opened his eyes, looked up, and met Toby's.
Toby smiled down at him, "Good morning."
He reached for his phone and looked at the caller ID, then groaned.
"What is it?"
"My mum." 16 missed calls. Shit. That was never good.
Toby hesitantly lifted the phone to his ear, "Hi mum..."
"WHERE ARE YOU?! WHERE'S RUSTY?! WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER?!"
Toby yanked the phone away from his head, perfectly able to hear from a foot away.
He took a breath.
Kyoya was on his stomach, resting on his elbows, still next to him.
Toby looked at him, a silent kind of pleading, then put the phone back to his ear, "I am with Kyoya. I think Rusty is with the twins."
"You didn't... do... anything, right?" Mrs Smith asked.
"WHAT?!" Toby yelled, glaring at the phone, "MUM?! Kyoya's a guy!"
"That was kind-of my point..."
"Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you have to rub it in my face!"
"Sorry, sorry. What about Rusty?"
"I'll call her. I'll pick her up, whatever. Just don't assume that again." Toby said through clenched teeth.
"Okay. Be home in an hour, alright, sweetie?"
"Goodbye Mother." Click.
She yelped, falling off the couch and awakening Kaoru in the process.
"WHAT?! WHAT IS IT?!" He yelled, jumping up and stepping on Rusty's fingers.
"Ow!" She cried.
Kaoru lifted up his foot, releasing her hand, and looked down at her.
She was lying down with her legs up on the couch, her arm in a strange position, behind her head, and the other now resting next to her.
"Um... Do you need some help?" Kaoru asked, offering her a hand.
Rusty reached up and took it, ignoring the faint stinging her hand, and was pulled to her feet.
Her phone started playing 'When Can I See You Again?' By Owl City (a/n One of my favourite songs)
She clumsily stumbled over to the coffee table and snapped it open, putting it to her ear, "Yes Toby?"
"Mum is going to murder us both."
"Huh?" She looked at the clock on the wall, seeing it was eight o'clock... AM.
"Shit! What the hell will she be thinking?" Rusty cried.
"I'm coming to pick you up. Be ready in half and hour. Kyoya's coming too."
"Okay. See you then." Beep.
Kaoru looked at her with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Fine. Toby's coming to pick me up."
"You two are awake, I see." Hikaru stood in the doorway, "Have fun sleeping next to each other?"
Rusty glared at him, "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE US UP?!"
"You looked so peaceful and cute... I couldn't break that. It doesn't happen any other time."
"Hey!"
Kaoru put a hand over Hikaru's mouth to prevent him saying anything back, "Shut up, both of you. Rusty, when's Toby picking you up?"
"Half and hour."
"Okay, why don't we go and get something to eat, then you can go?"
"Sure."
"Sthe jus wanths mowr thime with you." Hikaru said through his brother's hand.
Rusty growled at him, causing him to put his hands up in mock surrender.
"Let's just go eat." Kaoru said, releasing Hikaru's mouth and guiding Rusty by her shoulders to the dining room, Hikaru smirking behind them.
"I'm gunna be needing my sister back now." He said.
Rusty and Kaoru appeared in the hall.
Kaoru smiled, "Hey Toby. Should I come back with you and your sister to explain?"
Toby nodded, "Probably."
Hikaru popped up next to him, "Kaoru's not going anywhere without me."
"You come too, then. We just need to go. I'm borrowing one of the Ootori's smaller cars, so come on." Toby said, grabbing Hikaru by the collar and dragging him to the Rolls Royce, then throwing him in the back, "Stay."
"I'm not a dog."
"I'll give you a lollypop."
"What?! Am I a five-year-old now?!"
"You act like one."
"Shut u-" Kaoru shoved him lightly.
Hikaru frowned.
"Be nice."
"Fine."
Rusty sat down next to Kaoru, who was next to Hikaru, in the backseat.
Toby took the driver's seat while Kyoya took the passenger side.
"Off we go." Toby put the car in gear, then accelerated, flying down the road.
Hikaru yelped, "Do you even have a license?!"
"I'm eighteen, of course I do."
"ARE YOU FAHKING INSANE?!" Rusty screamed, while Kaoru just went bright red, "Of course we are..." He said quietly.
Toby breathed a sigh of relief, "Good. No lying necessary."
Rusty jumped out of the Rolls Royce and made her way to the front door.
Kyoya walked next to Toby, their hands barely brushing.
Hikaru and Kaoru walked together, having a silent conversation.
Rusty waited impatiently for her friends and brother to get to the door.
When they finally did, she slammed it open, "MUM! WE'RE HOME!"
Thirty seconds later, Mrs Smith came almost full-out running down the stairs, then scooped Rusty up.
Her daughter's eyes went wide, "LEGGO!"
Mrs Smith then caught sight of Kyoya, Kaoru and Hikaru.
"Who are they?" She asked Toby.
He moved his hand slightly further from Kyoya's then turned to face his mother, "This is Hikaru and Kaoru- The twins. And this is Kyoya."
His voice had a caring undertone when he said Kyoya's name, which Mrs Smith picked up on.
Kyoya smiled politely, "Hello, Mrs Smith. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Hikaru and Kaoru grinned, ""Yah! It is! Hello!""
"Please, call me Lucy." Mrs Smith smiled, before pulling Toby aside, "What are they doing here?" She hissed.
Toby closed his eyes, "I thought if we bought them along, they could help us explain so you wouldn't freak."
Lucy shrugged, "Fine. Let's go to the loungeroom. It's more comfortable in there."
Toby turned to everyone, "Alright guys, we're going to the lounge."
He led the group of five (Including his mother) into the loungeroom.
Toby sat right next to Kyoya on the couch, Rusty sat pressed between Hikaru and Kaoru.
Lucy sat on the opposing couch, "Explain."
Rusty started, "Okay, so I was hanging out with Kaoru last night because Hikaru was going out and we wanted to hang out." Kaoru nodded.
"We were watching a movie, Harry Potter, when we fell asleep. Nothing else happened. I woke up and fell off the couch, Kaoru woke up at the fall and stepped on my hand, my phone went off, it was Toby, telling me he was coming to pick me up. That's all."
Toby cleared his throat, "I went to Kyoya's house. I don't even remember why now. He went into a meeting with his Father for a bit, then we went to his 'room'," Air quotes, "Which is really more like a small house. He's got a TV and an XBox in there, so we played Resident Evil 6. We fell asleep playing that. I woke up and saw Kyoya sleeping next to me, then you called me. End of story."
Lucy blinked, "Okay. So you're all fine?"
Nods.
"Good. Now that that's over with, would you boys like to have some tea?"
Hikaru and Kaoru nodded.
Kyoya looked at Toby, who nodded, then he smiled, "That would be wonderful."
"Do you like my mum?" He asked, rifling through the cupboard for the tea-bags.
Kyoya nodded, "She very kind. Protective..." He trailed off.
"Are you okay?" Toby asked, turning around with a little jar full of tea-bags
"Fine..." Kyoya sighed.
Toby frowned, "No, you're not." He set down the jar and walked over to Kyoya, then took one of his hands, "What's wrong." A small blush dusted his cheeks.
"Nothing."
Using his other hand, Toby tilted Kyoya's head up so their eyes could meet.
His eyes were hard to read normally, but right now they were easily seen. They showed worry and annoyance.
"You're so cute when you're worried!" Toby grinned.
"I'm not cu-" He was cut off by Toby leaning down slightly and kissing him.
He melted a bit. Just a bit.
That's when a cough interrupted.
Kaoru was standing awkwardly in the doorway, "Sorry for interrupting!" He squeaked, turned around and speed-walked out, the door closing behind him.
"Aw shit."
"What's wrong?" Rusty asked.
"Nevermind."
Five seconds later, Toby and Kyoya came out into the room.
Toby was glaring threateningly at Kaoru, while Kyoya just looked neutral.
The raven-haired boy put down a tray with tea cups on it.
"What happened in there?" Rusty asked tauntingly.
Toby glared daggers at her, eyes seeming to go red and glowing.
"U-uh. Okay then."
Hey guys. Sorry this one's so short. I have a really good idea for the next one though, stay tuned and
