Summary: It was a completely different matter compared to the Kikumaru's where something like this most likely would be used to blackmail you for the upcoming eight months.

A/N: Requested, prompted and the plotbunny given by Al on FF, where she requested that they should come out to their parents. I hope you don't mind me writing it this way since I they didn't actually confess and stuff, but I kind of like this story anyway. Sorry about the wait.

Also, thanks for the awesome amount of rewievs last time. May I say keep up the good work? XD

"Eiji, look…" the redhead was sitting on the edge of his bed inside his and his brothers shared room, the other said occupant was currently helping out with the dinner downstairs, and therefore it was one of those rare occasions when the both of them actually found themselves alone in the redheads room.

Which was the sole reason to why they almost always slept over at Oishi's house instead, which kind of was the cause of their current mess. Or, it might just have been one of those moments with extremely bad timing.

Blue eyes were flickering around desperately in order to find something to look at, and the redhead was nervously fidgeting with his fingers. Sometimes Oishi could have sworn that the redhead was chanting gently to himself as well, but he wasn't sure. There was one thing he knew for certain though, Eiji was starting to panic, otherwise he would have at least tried to hide his worry, not let it lay so very bare for Oishi to see.

Or maybe he had tried to hide it, Oishi pondered. However it was a far cry from the usual facade Eiji used like it was just as easy as taking a walk in the park.

"…you really don't have to…" a head snapped up and in one second his partner was staring at him, and in the other he was shaking his head furiously, red hair flying around and out of place, something he knew Eiji would cringe at the next time the acrobat saw his own reflection. However Oishi had no plans to point it out to his boyfriend. Eiji was in enough distress as it was.

"No, no, no, no!" Eiji mumbled and finally let his head come to a stop, but instead he lowered it and fixed his eyes on the ground in front of him. With a small sigh Oishi left his place by the door to sit down on the bed beside him, also letting his gaze stare at a spot on the floor he thought was somewhat close to Eiji's own.

"I can do this Oishi!" Eiji ensured him, but it was impossible for the vice captain to not hear the doubt in his partners voice. "I really, really can! It wouldn't be fair if I didn't would it?"

Well, Oishi wouldn't use the word fair, but there was actually some logic behind. Truth to be told he wasn't sure if he should talk Eiji out of it all, or encourage him to go on. Eiji had, during the last few days, been very nervous around him since the redhead blamed himself for something that wasn't entirely Eiji's fault, and it pained the older male to hear the shame in Eiji's voice the times Eiji actually spoke to him. But the fact that Eiji also had started to avoid him made the older ponder if it really wasn't for the best after all.

"Mou, Oishi. Let's take a break," Eiji looked hopefully up at his partner while he uttered his request. They were sitting in the middle of Oishi's room by a small, portable table they had once again stolen from the living room, and which during the latest weeks seemed to have become one of the stationary furniture's in the vice captains room, rivalling the occupation of Oishi's desk.

With a sigh Oishi ran a hand through his hair before throwing another glance at the clock on the wall. They had been studying for little over three hours now, and truthfully he was just slightly surprised over the fact that Eiji had actually kept his concentration this long. It was in fact, when he really thought about it, a small miracle.

"Eiji, I think that you should at least finish the last two questions, that way you can start afresh on a new subject afterwards," he haggled, but Eiji had already moved around the table to his side and playfully put out his tongue.

"We have been studying for hours Oishi! I need a break and I need it now!" The redhead declared as he crawled into his lap with a toothy grin before he rubbed their noses together.

"Just a tiny, tiny break? Hoi, maximum five minutes!" Eiji pleaded and Oishi only chuckled slightly.

"Okay," he agreed, and tilted his head to his side. "But just five minutes."

Time seemed to disappear all at once as their lips met, and Oishi found himself dimly wondering if Eiji's promised five minutes hadn't ended a long time ago, but he just couldn't collect enough willpower to pull away. Eiji was kissing him oh so lovingly, and the redhead's breath came in short pleasurable pants which probably was matched by his own by now.

Fingers were running over his scalp and his hands were moving alongside Eiji's back, pressing him closer to his frame in the process. It was just the two of the-

"Shuichiro?" Suddenly everything seemed to freeze and his eyes snapped open and so did Eiji's, only to see his door open in something that could only be described as slow motion.

The kiss was broken in a matter of seconds, but Oishi knew that it there would be no doubt what they had been up too. Their matching kiss swollen lips, not to mention the way Eiji was placed rather suggestive in his lap, arms around his neck as the redhead also stared at the door until his mothers face came into his view.

"Tezuka called and-… Oh," he saw his mother blink in something he took as confusion or maybe it was surprise and he found himself staring frightened at her for something which felt like an eternity, but probably lasted less then a second, and then she gave him a soft smile before opening her mouth again. "I'll just tell him that you'll call him later then." Then she had closed the door, her footsteps echoing in the corridor outside before they disappeared.

He buried his face into Eiji's shoulder with a deep groan and he felt his boyfriend gently pat his head in something he guessed was a reassuring way, however he didn't really feel the motion, what he did feel was Eiji's breath as the other whispered his apology over and over again in his ear.

He wasn't particularly mad about it any longer, he had done half of the job and therefore owned half of the responsibility for it as well. And really, it could have been much worse, because his mother hadn't voiced what she had seen, neither was she looking at him in disgust either. It was just like she was used to having Eiji and her son being as close as they were already that it wasn't very hard getting used to the new information, and also accepting it.

However, his family was small and his mother was very caring, and so was the rest of his family. It was a completely different matter compared to the Kikumaru's where something like this most likely would be used to blackmail you for the upcoming eight months. Or at least teasing Eiji about it every free second.

"Eiji…" he tried again but the redhead only shook his head before looking at him with determined eyes. There was no longer doubt about whether Eiji would really do this or not Oishi suddenly understood. He had known for a very long time that Eiji was, when it came around a rather rightful person, and this was simply no difference.

It didn't take away the fact that Eiji was scared to death though, his lower lip was quivering, his grip on the cover of the bed was stern and the only thing that really indicated what was about to happen in a few minutes was the unwavering look in Eiji's eyes. With a soft sigh Oishi leaned forward and pressed a quick, and reassuring kiss to the others lips.

Eiji's mouth was dry and drawn into a tight line and he couldn't help to nibble at the lower lip, trying to get the other to relax before he placed one of his hands above Eiji's own and gently clutched it.

There was a moment of sternness before Eiji finally let out a soft sigh and relaxed the slightest. Tense shoulders fell down into a more comfortable position and Oishi gently grasped the others hand once more before pulling away and smiling softly into an equally smiling face.

And then there was a heavy knock on the door.

"Oi, bro! We all know how much you like each other and stuff, but could you get of your lazy butt and help out downstairs for a change?" There was a creeping silence in the room whilst the Golden Pair exchanged a rather surprised and confused glance.

In a silent understanding fingers intertwined to share the little strength the both of them had before Eiji opened his mouth in order to shut his annoying brother up.

A/N: So this was how it turned out, I don't know about the end, but I somehow like that it's kind of open. But it might of course just be me. I guess I like the fact that Eiji's parents already knew…
