! Three! Two! One! Zero! ! – a series of Youji/Natsuo drabshots
What are drabshots, you ask? They are stories that are longer than drabbles but too short to be considered a one-shot, a term conned by MANKINFAN! Enjoy reading these Loveless drabshots!

Numbers
"One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…" Kio counted out loud. Soubi said he wanted exactly eight bags of coffee grounds. Hmm…looks like Sou-chan's pulling another all-nighter. Although why he was doing the shopping for his friend escaped him. And since Ritsuka was also there, Soubi had kicked out the remaining people in the apartment to give the two some privacy.
So now Kio didn't want to turn around when he heard a huge crash and two identical loud laughter. Running up to Kio, Youji and Natsuo looked out of breath for a mere second before Youji blinked. "I heard you, you know. Why did you start at one?"
"Well, what number do you suppose I start with while I count?"
"Zero."
"Why? Zero is nothing. It's practically a useless number." Kio frowned as Youji glared at him. He wondered if he hit some kind of sore spot, cause both of the boys were glaring at him now. "Why? Is that how you do it?"
"It doesn't matter," Natsuo said, gripping Youji's hand. "But Zero is not nothing."
"Well, what is it?"
"For starters…" Natsuo turned around and pointed with his other hand to the mess of cans on the floor, some of which were leaking. "Zero is not the number of yen you're going to pay to compensate for that."

Note: Poor Kio. Looks like he's going to be paying a lot more than he intended. Read and review, thank you and please!
