A Love Of Few Words

A Mori/Takashi Love Story

Part Ten

A Change

"Please Takashi... please." I pleaded with him looking up into his seemingly endless gray eyes. He said nothing and I started to walk away sure that he couldn't forgive me after I told him I hated him. Then I was surprised as he grabbed me by arm and close to him. "Takashi?" I whispered breathlessly as he rested his forehead on mine.

"How could I ever stay mad at you Kairi." he said as he ran a hand down my cheek. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes bringing my face closer to his. My breathing grew shallow and Takashi smiled as he closed the small gap between our lips and gave me a light kiss as he pulled me closer to him by my waist. "You do know your my everything right?" he said quietly into my ear.

I blushed and nodded before I said shyly "I know and Takashi … I love you." I felt him smile as he nuzzled his head into my neck. I breathed in the sweet scent I had missed so much as I said again "I love you so much."

He then lifted his head and put a finger to my lips gently as he said with a laugh "I know and I love you too Kairi. More then anything. Now be quiet and kiss me." I smiled and nodded as I pulled his face closer to mine and for once was happy to do exactly what I was told.

It had been almost a month since the day Takashi and I had gotten together (and the day Kyoya has stopped talking to me) and I was sitting in the back of a limo hand in hand with Takashi as we rode to the airport. Takashi was so happy that Honey was finally coming home but my stomach was turning. I know Takashi loved me but my brothers words kept popping into my mind. What would happen between me and Takashi with Honey back in the picture?

We finally arrived and Takashi helped me out of the car. I smiled at him as he wrapped his arm around my waist but I couldn't help but notice that his smile was wider then usual. I always thought that I was the one that made him smile the most … I shook my head of these thought. It was just Kyoya's words that made me so unsure. I had to keep remind myself that he did not control me any more.

I sat by his side with my head on his shoulder as he patted my hand absentmindedly and stared out the window. I was slowly starting to fall asleep when he jumped up and I almost fell out of my chair. I managed to catch myself and ran to keep up with him as he ran to the gate to greet his younger brother.

I finally spotted a small blonde head and pointed it out to Takashi and then I was left alone as he ran to pick up Honey. I watched with a smile as the two cousins were reunited. I heard Honey laugh as he jumped into Takashi's arms and I finally pushed my way through the crowd to join them. "Welcome back Honey." I said sweetly ruffling his hair.

He smiled at me innocently and said "Kairi! Takashi told me that you two are finally together I am so happy." as he jumped out of Takashi's arms and hugged me. I hugged him back with a laugh. I didn't know what I was so worried about. Honey was so adorable how could he possibly come between me and my Takashi.

We walked out to the car together with Honey riding on Takashi's shoulders and me walking by his side. It was unusual that Takashi wasn't holding my hand but I shrugged it off telling myself that it was just so happy to have his Honey back.

The car ride home was rather quiet with only Honey, who sat between me and Takashi, told us all about his trip and the people he had trained. I tried to catch Takashi's eye but every time I did he was completely concentrated on Honey. I spent the rest of the ride fading in and out of Honey's rant until finally we reached my house. I gave Honey a hug and went to give Takashi a kiss but instead he gave me a quick hug and nearly pushed me out the door as he turned his attention back to Honey.

I huffed as I walked to my room and threw my bag down on my bed. I could understand that Takashi was excited that Honey was back but that was no reason to be so rude to me! I let out a sigh telling myself that it was a one time thing as I sat down to do my homework since I had the rest of my day clear.

The next morning I arrived to school early hoping to spend some alone time with Takashi in music room three but when I open the door my face fell as I saw Honey asleep on the couch next to him. I let out a small sigh but took my seat next to Takashi as quiet as I could and gave him a quick kiss good morning. "Does he always sleep in this late?" I asked quietly as he pulled a blanket over him.

He shook his head "No but the jet lag got to him. I hope you don't mind that I brought him here." he said with apologetic eyes. I shrugged and cuddled close to Takashi laying my head on his shoulder as he put his arm around my shoulders. I looked at Honey and then at the adoring look in Takashi's eyes. I smiled and Takashi raised his eyebrows an inch.

"I think its cute is all. You take such good care of him. Your like a father it pretty adorable." I said with a grin as I kissed him lightly. The whole night before I had been thinking about what was going to happen with Honey back but I wasn't really worried any more. After all they couldn't possibly be together all the time could they? Little did I know that I was utterly and completely wrong.

Honey had been home for a month now and it was rare that I got any alone time with Takashi any more. At first I was annoyed because no matter where we went Honey was always there acting like a little kid the whole time. I had even gone as far as refusing to go anywhere with Tamaki during the week since I knew Honey was going to be there but now I enjoyed spending time with both of them. They were like my second family.

One day I was walking through the zoo with my head on Takashi's shoulder and Honey running ahead of us excitedly as we came up to the lion's and this little old lady came up to me and said "Oh what a cute little boy. He seems so happy you two must be lovely parents to raise such a happy child."

Takashi let out a small laugh as I turned bright red as I waved my arms frantically in front of me and said rushed "No mam he isn't ours! I mean we don't have kids hes just his cousin and also he is a senior in high school." I was now redder then a tomato and Honey was by my side looking at me concerned.

The old lady let out a small laugh and said "Oh I am sorry dear but it just seems you two are such natural parents." before walking off with her own grandchildren trotting along side her. I put a hand to my face as I thought of what she said. Was I really like a mother?

"Are you ok Kai-San?" Honey asked as he grabbed my hand and started walking again. I shook my head and smiled at him. It was hard to believe that I didn't want to send time with him. But a lot of things have changed since Takashi and I got together. Maybe this change was all for the best. All I could hope was that things would stay like this for a little bit longer. I was finally happy and I didn't want that to change.
