Chapter 9: Our love is inseparable
Disclaimer : I never own X/1999 characters, CLAMP owned them. If i owned X/1999 the series will be finished long time ago and i will make Kamui and Subaru a pair. LOL
Author's Note : I made a lemon scene last chapter as my apology for bringing Fuuma into their problem so early in their supposedly-to-be-honeymoon period. Anyway, i hope you guys are patient enough to wait for my slow update. Kinda face some problem about the time and the story line. LOL~
Okay, let's enjoy!
Pairing : SubaruXKamui

'italic' – inner thought
What happened last chapter...
As the bell rang, they kissed for the last time before went back to their classes. After the exciting-yet-exhausting happy moments they shared, they were back to face the reality to tell Fuuma about their relationship, soon after the school ended.
The bell rang and soon after that some of the students ran out of the classroom, and some stay behind to ask their friends if they wanted to go somewhere together. As he heard the school bell rang, he became more and more depressed. He didn't want to face his brother yet. He still wanted to enjoy his new built relationship with Subaru.
"Oi.. Kamui-chan! Let's go home!" Sorata shook his shoulder as if he was out of range.
"Uhm.." He nodded, but his slow movement told Sorata that he didn't want to go home.
"..." Sorata sighed, "We might not able to help you talk to your nii-san, but he will be there with you, right?"
Kamui finally looked up to his best friend, but said nothing. He just nodded like before. Sorata knew soon or later they would have to face the scary big brother –no, the overprotective brother.
Right after Kamui was done and was about to leave his class, Fuuma called out to him outside his classroom with no one but Subaru. Kamui felt something in his stomach and made him want to puke, or faint, or whatever it was you called it (-_-)
The third of them said nothing in their way back. They could feel the heavy atmosphere and the hurricane in front of him. Not only Subaru and Kamui, Fuuma felt the same. He wanted to know the fact about Subaru and Kamui's relationship, but he also didn't want to know the truth just yet. Kamui glanced at Subaru several times, only to see Subaru did the same. They seek comfort from each other in silence, and every time they did it, they got a piece of confidence that they're not alone in this problem.
Finally they're arrived. Fuuma silently allowed Subaru to enter his house and closed the door after Kamui and Subaru entered the house. Kamui made the first move to their living room only to be followed by Subaru and Fuuma. He still remember how serious his brother's expression when he stood in front of his class earlier.
"Kamui, let's go home." Fuuma said, "I want to talk to both of you." He pointed at Subaru while Subaru just nodded to greet Kamui. Kamui nodded back quickly and said goodbye to Sorata. Before he went ahead, Sorata patted his shoulder to give him support.
"I...It's rather rare to see you together." He said, tried not to show his fear.
"...Yeah. Something came up and i need to clarify it." Just like that and they went back without any spoken word.
"..." Kamui stopped as soon as he entered his living room, and turned his body to face Subaru. He gave off concerned look to his boyfriend and asked, "A glass of tea is okay, right?"
"Sure." He replied shortly.
"Make it three, Kamui." Fuuma said as he entered the room.
Kamui went ahead to the kitchen and not long after that he came back with three glasses on a tray. He put them on the table and stood there akwardly. As Fuuma told him to sit down, Kamui made his super quick choice to sit beside Subaru, only to make Fuuma more irritated but said nothing.
"So," He began, "As we talked earlier, Sumeragi-san, I want you to tell me about your relationship."
There were silence in the room, but before Subaru could say anything, he added in a dangerous tone, "Don't you dare lie to me."
"..." Subaru looked at Kamui before said anything. He wanted Kamui to be ready for anything that might happened next. After that he looked back at Fuuma, right into his eyes.
"As i thought, we couldn't hide this thing from you too long, Monou-san. I'm sorry i break my promise but–"
"So my intuition is true then?" He cut off, trying to look calm.
"..yes." He knew he couldn't make the conversation went smoothly but he still tried to end it peacefully. "We love each other, and now we're dating." He said calmly, his eyes stared straight into Fuuma's eyes.
Kamui said nothing, but he clutched the tray tighter. Fuuma said nothing, rubbed his forehead with his right hand to suppres his emotion. "When did it start?"
"...Not long..A week or so." Subaru said.
Fuuma said nothing for a while. Not that he accepted the relationship, but he had a lot to say but failed to decided which came first. He just continued to rub his forehead. After a while he said, still not looking at Subaru nor Kamui.
"You said you love each other. Are you sure you didn't seduced or force Kamui into it?"
"Wha–"
"What are you talking about, Nii-chan!?"
Once again Subaru was cut off, this time by his lover.
"I'm not forced or seduced. In fact, I'm the one who fall in love with him first!"
This time Fuuma looked up at his angry brother, looking as if Kamui was going crazy.
"Kamui-kun," Subaru was suprised too, "Please calm down." He tugged Kamui's hand to make him sat down again. He looked back at Fuuma and said, "I don't know the exact time when i fall in love with Kamui, but i can tell you for sure i'm not playing around. I'm seriously in love with Kamui –if that what you wanted to know."
"BUT YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULD PROTECT HIM FROM ANYONE, YOU'RE INCLUDED! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HIS INNOCENCE!"
Kamui stared at his brother and his lover, "Wha...What do you think i am? A kid who would follow everyone who gave me sweets?" He looked hurt.
"I know i promised you to protect him, but i'm not the same with the others. I'm not only attracted to his physic, but to his personaluty as well. I love him and i will protect him from any harm. Please understand." He begged.
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE NOT THE SAME WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE DEVOURING HIM!?"
"That's not–"
"WOULD YOU SEE IT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE!?" Kamui finally raised his voice, only to make Subaru and Kamui looked at him.
"HE'S NOT DEVOURING ANYONE FOR GOD SAKE! WHY YOU ALWAYS SEE ANYONE AS IF THEY ALL ARE AFTER ME!"
"BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! LOOK INTO THEIR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE IT CLEARLY!"
Kamui was taken aback, paused a while before continuing, "But he's not looking at me with lust." He sobbed a little, "He always so gentle, giving me support, and so kind. How can he in the same place with all those pervert?"
"Kamui-kun." Subaru patted his back to comfort him.
"I-I know that. That's why i trusted him." He said it quietly as if he didn't want to accept the fact.
"So why...why are you *sob* questioning his feeling *sob* for me? Huh, Nii-chan?" He looked at his brother with his full-of-tears-eyes. Fuuma was taken aback, looking confused about what to say to his brother.
"I'm 100% percent sure my feeling for Kamui is a pure love, not a mere lust for physical satisfication. I won't force him into something he doesn't like, I will protect him from any harm." Subaru tried to voice out his love and new promise to Fuuma.
"I also love him. I'm not *sob* being forced, or *sob* seduced, or anything *sob* like that. I want to *sob* be with him in my own decision. Uuhh-huu..." He couldn't stop his tears anymore. It hurted him so much that his brother one sidedly judged his feeling as something impure.
"It's still won't work. I'm not gonna–"
"What happened here?" All three pairs of eyes looked up to find the oldest Monou stood there, looking confused as ever.
"Chichi-ueee..." Kamui stood and hugged his father tight.
"What is it? What happened? Who made Kamui cry?" He hugged his youngest son back to comfort him. Kamui said nothing, just pointed at his big brother to tell his father the one who made him cry. Small sobs could be heard still. His father looked at Fuuma with disbelief.
"Didn't i just tell you this morning?"
"But i..." He looked at his father, tried to defend himself.
"Fuuma, come here." He told his oldest son to follow him, "Kamui, you wait here with our guest, okay? And stop crying, you looked ugly when you cry." He erased Kamui's tears gently with his thumbs. Kamui nodded and released his hug. As his father and his brother out of sight, he walked back to Subaru and looked at him.
Now Subaru knew how his family pampered Kamui. He was obviously the favorite child in the family and this protectiveness was the reason Kamui was so naive and innocence. They protected him well, shooed everyone who had bad intention towards Kamui. Even the father was totally on Kamui's side. He just wondered what conversation Fuuma and his father had this morning.
"Subaru-kun? What's wrong?" He tugged Subaru's sleeve to get his attention.
"Ahh, no. It's nothing. Is that your father? What do you think–"
"Yep, it's my father. Don't worry it seemed he's okay with you." Kamui cut him off (again) with a smile.
"..Huh? How come?"
"Chichi-ue never let a boy or a girl who had bad intention towards nii-chan or me entered our house. As far as i can remember, the only one who got permission was Yuzuriha-chan, Sorata-kun and Keiichi-kun for me," He smiled, "He never let the rest here for more than seconds. I don't know how, but he always shoo them away without fail."
Subaru was dumbfounded, he didn't know whether he was lucky or not. He was afraid that Kamui's father was stuck on the fact that Kamui was crying when he was entered the room.
"The fact that my father didn't shoo you away, that means he's okay with you being here." He added.
"Sorry for my rudeness before, young man. But I'm sure you're never here before?" Subaru was startled with the warm greeting he got from his lover's father, when Kamui and him was sitting a little too close for a mere friend –not to mention their a bit of compromising position (Kamui was leaned on his shoulder and hung his hand on Subaru's neck).
"Ah, sorry for my intrusion. My name is Sumeragi Subaru, and i'm Kamui's friend from school." Subaru stood up after he let go of Kamui's hand.
"Friend? It's not something more?" He teased.
"Father!" Fuuma cut off. Kamui was blushing but he didn't hide it.
"Huh?"
"Easy, young man. Do you thing i didn't notice the change on Kamui's behavior lately? He kept mentioning your name on every chance possible. So i kinda figure it out." He laughed when he saw Subaru's dumbfounded expression.
"Eh..Uh..Yeah..Umm," He looked at Kamui, asking for advice.
"Chichi-ue, Subaru-kun and i are dating. Uhh.." The red shade on his face became deeper as he stated the relationship between Subaru and him, "Do you...Are you okay with it?" Slowly it became a whisper.
"..." He looked at Subaru for a while, "Nah. I don't see anything dangerous or any evil aura from him. So, I don't have any objection." He smiled at Kamui.
"But, I must say it clearly young boy. If you make Kamui cry, suffer, or broken his heart, I won't forgive you," He looked at Subaru sternly, "And please save it for when you're an adult."
Subaru blushed at the last statement from Kamui's father, as for Kamui, he obviously oblivious on the fact that his father was talking about sex and just smile on the fact that his father approved their relationship.
"Okay. Thanks Chichi-ue." He ran a little and hugged him.
"Yep, yep. I know." He really pampered his youngest son, "But remember your promise, okay?" He looked at Subaru meaningfully.
Fuuma was defeated, he couldn't say anything even though he didn't approve Kamui and Subaru's relationship. If only his father was not home at the critical moment, it wouldn't turn this way. Fuuma realized that even though Subaru really didn't have sex with Kamui like he promised, he still got the permission to kiss, grope, and do sexual things to Kamui, as long as they didn't do the intercourse, and he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that Kamui was being assaulted –due to his point of view-, he wanted Kamui to be as pure as an angel, without someone actually dirty his mind and body.
Kamui himself was still as naive and innocent as his brother wanted him to be. Even though they actually had jerked off together, Kamui was totally oblivious that it was counted as foreplay. His thought was not on that matter. What important for him was the fact that his father helped him out and accepted Subaru as his lover. Sooner or later his innocence would be taken away, but let save it for later (wink).
Subaru had the same thought as Fuuma. He wanted Kamui to be as pure and innocent as now. He didn't have the heart to tainted Kamui just yet. He wanted their moment to be special and memorable, so he will wait forever for the right time. He also wanted to keep his promise with Kamui's dad and wouldn't do the final stage of the sexual activity before they became adult and ready for it.
There're a lot of trouble ahead of them, and he knew it, but he's sure he could face it together with Kamui as long as their hearts were still together. For now, he just wanted to enjoy the happiness with Kamui.
