Hello everyone. Long time no see right?
The first thing I HAVE to say, is that I'm so so so so so so so so sorry. It's been around a month since I've updated. I had SEVERE writer's block. SEVERE I tell you, severe. I would sit down, hoping to write something, but it never seemed to happen. And then I got sucked into the wonders of my drawing pad…..
But yesterday, I was stranded in an internetless, electricityless place, and thankfully I brought my notebook, so I was actually able to finish chapter 9, and even write a oneshot for Fruits Basket
And I did finish this yesterday, but yesterday, where I live, there was this HUMONGO thunderstorm, and the electricity went out at around 4. And didn't come back until 9:30. And even when it DID come on, the internet got screwed up. And I had to call my dad (cuz he's on a business trip) to figure out how to reset it, and my mom was freakin out and so were my brothers. And we didn't even get it fixed last night. My brother had to call again this morning at 8, and we finally got our slowest internet connection (yes, we have MULTIPLE connections) to actually connect. So that's why im actually able to post something
I think that's enough excuses don't you? So, now, I give you the superlatively late Kamisama Chapter 9.
Oshitari looked down contently at the head of red-violet hair he was holding, not believing how lucky he was. He knew that he barely knew Gakuto, but he honestly didn't care. No one had ever been so blunt to him, no one had ever not revered him, no one had ever insulted him, especially to his face.
Since he was small, no one ever told him what he or she really thought about him. Everything that spilled from their mouths was flattery or praises. Everyone saw him as a way to raise their families' statuses, and never took the time to really get to know the Oshitari heir.
But here, here was a person, not afraid of speaking out. Not afraid of the Oshitari name. But then again, he might not even recognize the name Oshitari, however, Yuushi was confident that even if Gakuto did know who he was. He wouldn't act any differently. In fact, his harmless teasing and mischievous banter would only increase with this new knowledge.
Gakuto's personality caused Yuushi to truly smile, not like the way he fake smiled to business partners and classmates, but a smile meant only for those that truly understood and accepted him.
He didn't care what other people said. He would never ever let anyone hurt or insult Gakuto, never.
Yuushi loved Gakuto for acting like himself around Yuushi, not faking and overglorifying himself. Now that Gakuto was actually his, Yuushi felt that he had all the time in the world to get to know the petite boy.
While Yuushi was pondering upon these things, Gakuto had fallen asleep in Yuushi's lap, as they sat on the clubroom floor.
Yuushi smiled at the peaceful expression on Gakuto's face as he slept, and gently picked him up. Supporting Gakuto's head in the space between his head and shoulder, Yuushi carried Gakuto out of the clubroom and down the narrow path leading to the sakura tree.
Gakuto blearily woke up to the sweet smell of flowers. He tiredly rubbed his eyes, wondering where in Kamisama's name he was. He opened his eyes to see Yuushi's hair slightly swishing in the light breeze, pink sakura blossoms on the tree behind him.
Gakuto yawned and sat up, stretching like a cat.
"Awake now?" Gakuto hear Yuushi's deep voice, laced with humorous intent.
"Mmm," yawned Gakuto. His eyes opened and looking about, he realized that he had been napping on Yuushi's lap. He was embarrassed, but he knew about how much of a romantic Yuushi was, so he decided to let it go, just this once.
"Wahhh…" Gakuto said, "this place is so pretty! Why aren't there other people here?"
"Because it's mine," Yuushi stated simply.
"Ehh? Yours?" asked Gakuto incredulously, "but this is school property isn't it?"
"Actually, my family owns a small portion of land here, mostly the land around this tree," Yuushi said matter-of-factly.
"But why this tree?" Why not the one over there? Gakuto questioned, pointing to another sakura tree.
"This is the tree where my parents met and fell in love," Yuushi smiled dreamily.
"Yuushi, you're a romantic aren't you?" Gakuto asked bluntly, "I can totally tell from that totally sappy smile you have on your face, you romantic fool."
"Well, I suppose I am," Yuushi answered, "afterall, I am your romantic fool right?"
he ruffled Gakuto's hair playfully. Gakuto blushed crimson and glomped Yuushi, hoping to hide his face in his lover's chest.
"Yes, you're MY romantic fool," mumbled Gakuto possessively.
Yuushi chuckled at that, he gently prodded Gakuto, "I think you should be getting home, your parents could be very worried now. Come on, let's go."
He stood up, offering his hand to the still seated redhead. Gakuto grumbled, but begrudgingly got up, taking Yuushi's outstretched hand.
That wasn't bad was it? I'm not quite sure, it was VERY sappy if I may say so myself. Plz review and tell me how I'm doing!
