The Gist of Things: Just a quickie little chapter of Kyou & Haru.
10 : Past : Desks Are Uncomfortable
Rain pitter-pattered across the school courtyard, illuminated only by streetlights. Stray drops slid in crazy patterns down the pane of glass, and Hatsuharu was glad to be inside. The window was cold under his fingertips, fogged with his faint puffs of breath as the other boy began to stir, mumbling at the sound of thunder in the distance.
Hatsuharu smiled as Kyou nuzzled his thigh, unhappy at being awakened, as always. A hand pet the soft orange hair. "Good evening, kitten." Crimson eyes blinked open, stilly heavy-lidded with sleep.
"'S af'ernoon, not ev'nin,'" he slurred.
The ox chuckled, sliding his hand from Kyou's hair to his ribs, lightly stroking up and down. "It was afternoon, and now it's evening. Congratulations, my kitten: you slept through your entire graduation ceremony."
Kyou rubbed at his eyes. "Did you sleep at all?"
"Some. I watched the ceremony in the courtyard, though." He shifted a bit, the desk beneath him uncomfortable once more. "Tohru looked quite perplexed at your absence. Perhaps you should apologize to her; after all, you did break your promise."
"I did not." The cat rubbed his cheek higher up against his boyfriend's leather-clad thigh, earning a pleased murmur from the ox. "I told her I'd go, and I did. I didn't say anything about sitting through the whole damn thing."
"Silly Kyou-chan."
The cat muttered something and frowned. The desk beneath him was hard and cold. He sleepily climbed all the way into Hatsuharu's lap, curling up against the taller boy's torso.
The ox blinked in surprise, bringing his arms up around his lover. "Kyou-chan, we'll have to go soon," he murmured softly into ginger hair. The skin beneath his shirt grew cool after every puff of the cat's breath, making him long for the next to warm him.
"Just a little longer, Haru…"
"Mm." The rain seemed to be tapering off, and the moon finally peeked through the clouds. "Kitten?"
"Yeah?"
"In the future, do you think you might marry me?"
"I dunno; maybe. Ask me in the future, stupid cow."
Hatsuharu smiled. "All right."
Later that night, two boys could be seen walking to the road toward home hand-in-hand. The taller one splashed water from a puddle onto the shorter, causing him to be chased the rest of the way back. Neither cared what the future held, nor cared about anything from the past.
They both just were.
