Zero slowly stirred the milk inside of his bowl of cereals. He silently watched as the fruit loops followed the flow. His eyebrows scrunched as he stopped in his movement.
Maybe he should add some acid into this? Poisonous breakfast did not sound bad at all.
"Oh my goodness." Zero was a bit surprised as he heard another voice. He slightly looked up and was greeted by the sight of wide eyed Hanabusa, standing close to the kitchen entrance with one hand on his chest.
"Oh my goodness." The blonde paediatrician repeated and Zero felt like a baboon in the zoo.
"Oh my-"
"Hanabusa, you don't wanna know what will happen if you repeat that one. more. time… And you have no goodness to speak of, so stop telling lies." Zero growled at the short blonde but his words only caused the blonde to widen his eyes more and gasped dramatically. He quickly approached the silver haired doctor, pinching his left cheek as his eyes looked down at his morning cereal.
"Relatively healthy brain-hand co-ordination…" the blonde stepped back only to quickly march towards the window, pulling the curtains opened hastily.
"And the Sun rose only AN HOUR AGO!"
"…"
"TAKUMA! AKATSUKI! GUYS! COME QUICKLY! THE ALIENS ABDUCTED ZERO AND SENT US A REPLACEMENT-"
"…"
"CALL THE HOSPITAL! WE'RE TAKING A DAY OFF TO CELEBRATE!"
Zero would have jumped and strangled the blonde right now and there but he definitely would not even make it half way.
Miracle happen slowly… especially in the morning.
Hanabusa grinned after he got his dose of sarcastic morning humour. He plopped down a chair opposite of Zero as he grabbed on a granola bar to munch.
"Hey, Zero…"
"… What?"
"Do you still remember when we were 16, I challenged you to hang upside down on the monkey bars and you flashed your superman underwear to all those 5-year-olds and their mothers?"
"… Is there a reason why are you bringing this up?" Zero felt his head was going to explode out of madness. Hanabusa chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.
"Nothing, I just felt the need to remind you how embarrassing you are. And that I just want you to remember that you've done a lot of embarrassing things in your life, so more embarrassing incidents to come should not be that bad."
Zero groaned, his brain already stabbed the blonde to death five times in a row.
"Thank you for being so… supportive, Hanabusa."
The blonde titled his head on one side, smirk returned to his child-like face.
"Well, you're welcome, Zero! Now I can finally tell Yagari that he was wrong."
At those words, Zero had to raise a questioning eyebrow.
"What is it he was wrong about?"
Hanabusa threw away the now empty plastic of granola bar into the dustbin, taking his leave at the same time.
"I don't know, he has this weird theory that I can never spend five minutes talking to a mentally challenged individual… but now I can tell him that I just did!" the blonde grinned innocently and the silver haired man stared blank at him for a second.
It was the next second that the blonde paediatrician had to run out from the kitchen, screaming for his life, followed by an enraged silver haired doctor with a knife in his hand, chasing over him.
A blonde watched with nervous eyes as a brunette placed a small card on a certain silver haired doctor's table.
"Are you sure you won't get kill for this?" Takuma questioned in a small voice as Kaname let out a satisfied smirk. He crossed his arms on his chest and looked back at the blonde.
"Don't worry… he'll come running to me later on."
"This is not happening." Zero quietly stated after he opened the door to his office.
"… This is happening." Ichiru who was standing behind him was surprised as well.
The silver haired doctor's office was filled with carnations with different colours. Ichiru grinned, stepping in before his brother did and took one of the flower bouquets in his hands. The pathologist turned to look at his still speechless twin, raising his eyebrows slyly.
"It seems like you got a secret admirer~"
"It's not a secret admirer, it is Kaname fucking Kuran." Zero snapped, entering his office before closing the door closed. He pushed away all the flowers on top of his table, ignoring them as they fell on the floor. Ichiru watched, somehow feeling mad at how his twin brother was acting.
"Hey, you know, he keeps on trying to be friend with you, why do you hate him so much?" Ichiru placed the bouquet back onto its previous place and went to approach his twin that had taken his seat with a scowl on his face.
"I don't know, we met at the wrong time, wrong place, wrong situation, so you can't blame me for having a wrong impression on him." He mumbled, taking his documents out from his briefcase and Ichiru heaved a sigh at his answer.
"Anything you said, Nii-san… I'm going back to my office now, lunch together?" Ichiru looked down at Zero and somehow did not receive a respond at all. He then realized that the lilac eyed doctor seemed to be deep in thought. With a smirk upon his face, his nudged his brother on his shoulder, which caused him to blink out of surprise.
"I heard that Kaname always have his lunch around 1:30… Hm, if someone would like to meet him or anything, they should go and meet him at the cafeteria around that time… especially if he wants to thank him for something… example like, because he gave him flowers."
Getting the hint by his younger twin, Zero could not stop the blushes from appearing on his cheeks. He glared at his brother and Ichiru grinned in respond to him. He leaned down to kiss the older twin on his left cheek, a habit that both of them were already immune of.
"Okay, see you later!"
Once he heard the door to his office was closed, Zero heaved a sigh and slump his back against the leather seat. His eyes watched the whole spacious room of office being decorated with carnations.
Last time it was red roses, now carnations? He hoped sunflowers would never manage to get its turn.
He was scared to admit it but a small part of his somehow touched by the effort that the brunette had took just to gain his attention. But still, it did not manage to cease his temper. He hated it when his place was being corrupted by such things as enormous amount of flowers. If it was a bunch of flowers, acceptable but by the look of it, Zero could estimated that there was around fifty bouquets of flowers inside of his office now.
The lilac eyed doctor sighed as he went to start to on his work. But then a small card on the right side of his mahogany table caught his eyes. The doctor eyed the piece of paper warily before he slowly took it into his hand.
He stared at the elegant handwriting by none other but Kaname Kuran as he had written his name at the back of the card and Zero's at the front. The doctor inwardly scowled the brunette but unfolding the card nevertheless.
The contain that later revealed almost make him wanted to strangle a certain brunette doctor with his stethoscope.
"Dear Zero,
We had a good night (or day? Heh.) together few days before. You were quite a vocal, not that I'm complaining because I rather liked it that way. Maybe it was the drug that you took but really, I think that drug only helped you to realize the feeling that you have towards me. Anyway, I'm not going to brag about how sexy I am since I bet you already knew it. I mean, you've saw me naked, right? You even rode me that night… hm, two times in a row if I'm not mistaken. Guess that you loved it when we role-played horse riding. xD
So right now I bet your face is red out of embarrassment and anger and to be telling the truth, I'm being a jerk at you right now because I'm still piss at the way you treated me after a day filled with excitement and sex. But of course, since I'm planning to sweep you off your feet and make you mine, I'm going to apologize now for all my wrong behaviours and talks especially the ones above. I'm sorry.
So can we restart again with a date on this Sunday, the 2nd? I hope you won't disappoint me, Zero.
Love, Kaname.
P/S : Next time, I'll get you lilacs. They fit your eyes beautifully, Zero unfortunately we're out of stock for now D:"
Zero crunched the card in his fist, face burning in embarrassment and anger and oh Lord, he felt like murdering!
The silver haired doctor gritted his teeth.
Date? After saying such things to him, how dare Kuran asked him for a fucking date!
Zero growled as he turned around in his seat and threw the card into the small dustbin. But then, another card with the same design met his eyes. Lilac eyes twitched but he quickly took the new one, ignored the first that he had mercilessly killed before he ripped the second one open.
"Dear Zero,
I figured that you'll throw it away. So I've tried to make peace between us in a kind way. Since you're rejecting it, let us make it like this. Sunday the 2nd, a date with me or Monday the 3rd, I'm going to announce to everyone in this hospital that I deflowered you, since I took your virginity and all. I have CCTV in my apartment, don't you know that? People would love to watch their favourite Doctor Kiryuu being screwed by Doctor Kuran.
So, Sunday or Monday? Choose the one that you want. But we both know which one is the best.
Love, Kaname."
"…"
Zero slammed open the door of his office before he marching out. His hands turned into fists on his sides, crushing the card in his hand as he made his way with stiff shoulders and burning eyes towards his destination. Blue veins appeared on his temples as he kicked the door with the name of 'Doctor Kaname Kuran' placed as the sign.
The occupiers of the room were startled at the sudden interruption but not a certain brunette. His expression was blank as he looked up at the silver haired doctor that was fuming with anger. Kaien sweatdropped, quickly gathering all his files while Takuma gulped seeing the dark, heavy mini cloud with thunder on top of Zero's pretty head.
"YOU!" Zero hissed pointing at finger at the straight faced doctor but Kaname only raised an eyebrow at his action.
"W-We better take our leaves-"
"STAY!" Zero barked again and both Takuma and Kaien froze in their seats like robots. Kaname slipped a small smile as he watched the younger doctor approached him. Zero threw the card on his face but he effortlessly managed to catch it before it reached his nose.
"You want a date? Well, I'll give you a fucking date on Sunday, the 2nd. On that day too, I want you to bring the video with you because that is the payment for your needed date. And Kuran, on this Sunday, your life is not going to be fucking wonderful because I'm going to make you suffer hell after everything that you put me through for months in a one fucking day. And let see if you shall survive the date that you needed so much from me." Zero snarled at the brunette doctor and Kaname just titled his head a bit higher so that their eyes met in a perfect angle. A small smirk graced his lips and Zero had to suppress the urge to castrate him immediately.
Zero then pointed his finger at the two blondes that were still unmoved in their seats.
"And these two idiots shall be the witnesses of what I am going to say."
Kaname titled his head slightly; brown eyes challenged him for anything better. Zero twitched his own lilacs at the browns.
"That this, Kaname Kuran… is a declaration of WAR."
"So… what should we do today?" Yuuki timidly asked, hands tugging down on her skirt and Ichiru smiled slightly. Both of them were sitting on a bench in a park, currently doing nothing since Ichiru was having his day off – Akatsuki too, by the way – and he unconsciously rubbed the back of his neck.
"Movie?"
"Boring…"
'Nothing is a lot more boring than this. I was supposed to be at home, ready for a dinner with Akat-… fuck myself.'
"Lunch?"
"I already ate at home…"
'You were supposed to wait for me or at least tell me first.'
"Bowling?"
"I hate bowling, Ichiru-kun!"
'That's my favourite sport, Yuuki, I thought I've told you before.'
"How about archery?"
"I'm suck at that too!"
'Akatsuki looks sexy with a bow- okay, brain, let's make a deal, no more comparing sweet Yuuki with my partner in crime and we'll stop watching 'Top Shot' just for the sake of everybody, okay?'
"Swimming?"
"… We're close to winter and I don't want to die out of coldness."
'Okay, shit.'
Ichiru mentally hugged the nearest tree and bang his head against it for a good twenty times.
"Hmm… then what is it that you want to do?"
Yuuki grinned as she stood up before taking hold of Ichiru's hands into hers.
"Let's go shopping! I want to buy new clothes for winter!"
Ichiru sighed with a small smile, nodding his head as his girlfriend dragged him away.
'What a wonderfool world~'
Senri quietly snuggled against his blonde lover, feeling the doctor's left arm around his smaller frame tightened as they watched a television show together. Both of them had the lamps in the living room turned off and it left only the television that emitting the source of light.
"This show is getting boring…" the redhead softly murmured, placing his chin on Takuma's shoulder as the blonde laughed at his words.
"Really? What is it that can make you feel pleasant, then?" Takuma asked with a smile upon his face. The redhead just slipped a small smile back at him, gently nuzzling his nose against his boyfriend's neck while his arms went to wrap around Takuma's waist from his left side. Takuma chuckled slightly, kissing his forehead before leaning down and pressing their lips together in a deep, passionate kiss.
Senri made an adorable sound of whining when they finally parted. Takuma leaned forward again to kiss him but then, the lights were turned on and Hanabusa made at face looking at him.
"Eww, guys, get a room!" The blonde paediatrician groaned at them – he just returned home from work – and Senri twitched looking at him, sticking out his tongue as the respond. Takuma smiled seeing their interactions, ruffling his lover's red locks when Senri returned to snuggle in his arms.
Hanabusa sighed, throwing away his shoes without any intention to arrange them properly. He would love to see Zero got angry at his mischievousness anyway.
Then the main door was opened again, this time entering a moody looking Ichiru. Hanabusa raised an eyebrow at him and was about to comment about how ugly-duckling-like he looked when Ichiru glared at him, signalling that he'd better shut up if he wanted to live.
'Okay. Two days ago, Zero got into a huge fight with Kaname and now Ichiru looks like he was going to murder people. What's wrong with the Kiryuus of this generation?' Hanabusa inwardly snorted at his question.
Ichiru took off his coat, hanging it onto the coats' hangers before stepping into the living room.
"I'm damn tired-"
"Hey, guys, look at this!" Takuma's surprised voice took their attentions and both Hanabusa and Ichiru stared as a woman in the television reporting the current news.
"A jet hijacked by a group of terrorists from Greece had managed to enter Japan's airway and after being shoot by the air forces from Greece and Japan, the jet crashed against one of the buildings in the City of-"
Ichiru stood still as his ears caught the name of their city, his heart was beating like mad and suddenly he was sweating like he had ran for miles. Hanabusa in the other hand, blinked his wide cool blue eyes as well, mouth gaping at the news.
"- One of the buildings that is terribly damaged is East Japanese Cuisine-"
"What if something happen to me during that time? What if I went to have dinner at East Japanese Cuisine Restaurant, then a jet hijacked by some terrorists from Greece came and crashed into the restaurant and I die?"
"Oh! Look what I just found in my pocket! They are dining coupons at East Japanese Cuisine, for two! Oh! Unfortunately I have to go to work on this specific date! I'm sure that Akatsuki and Ichiru are supposed to have a day off on this date!"
If this took place a month ago, Ichiru would have laughed his ass off.
But it was not.
"Hanabusa, isn't that the restaurant that Akatsuki-" Takuma's question was interrupted by the sound of door being slammed. The trio turned to look and found that Ichiru was already gone. Hanabusa gulped as he returned his attention back to the news, the reporter was showing the real situation of the place where fire was high and mighty, like madness.
"Damn… call for Zero and others!" Hanabusa cried out as he quickly took his coat back and slipping his feet back into his shoes. Takuma barely had the time to respond as Hanabusa was the second to disappear behind the door.
Ichiru pressed the honk of his car as hard as he could. The traffic jam was crazy and he knew that he have to be quick. The building on fire was not far from his sight and he cursed again for the nth times. He pulled off the key to his car, opened the door and ran towards the place.
The firemen were yet to arrive, only few policemen – perhaps others were on their way too – were there and he could tracked no ambulance at all. Ichiru stopped once he almost reached the front door, the fire was too wild and he could felt the sensation of his skin being practically burned.
But he needed to look for Akatsuki.
He skillfully slipped through the police's inspection since there were only few of them and the crowds were much larger anyway. His lilac eyes wandering around in panic and his felt his breathing almost stopped when a tall figure made his escape out from the said restaurant.
"AKATSUKI!" Ichiru cried out, quickly approaching the blonde pathologist only to find out he was carrying a young woman in his arms. Akatsuki turned to look at him, wide eyed and surprised as well.
"Ichiru? What are you doing here?" Ichiru held in the urge to hit the blonde on his head as he watched blonde putting down the injured and unconscious woman on the ground.
"I was looking for you!" Ichiru answered, kneeling beside the woman to check on them. It was then he realized that Akatsuki's left arm was wounded as well. The skin was red, probably being marred by the untamed fire.
His lilac eyes widened when suddenly Akatsuki got back onto his feet, his amber eyes were strong and firm.
"I need to go back, there's another-"
"No! Are you crazy!" Ichiru quickly grabbed his other, uninjured arm but Akatsuki did not budge. He looked down at the silver haired pathologist before looking back at the unconscious victim.
"You stay here and tend her injuries, Ichiru." With that, the blonde turned his back to him and made his way towards the restaurant again. Ichiru felt tears brimming in his eyes as he made another action to grab onto his arm again.
"No! I'm not letting you in! You might die!" the silver haired man screamed, voice almost drowned by the sounds of fire eating and destroyed the building next to them but Akatsuki only looked at him with a small smile on his face. The next thing that Ichiru knew, he was being held by the tall blonde after so many days of separation, Akatsuki's arms around his waist and his face buried against his neck.
"Ichiru… stay safe." The blonde whispered into his ear before he pulled back. He pressed a deep and loving kiss on Ichiru's forehead before he let go and disappeared through the red.
Ichiru stood still, unmoved by the kiss and his words. He could not comprehend everything that had happened, starting from the days before Yuuki came, the days after Yuuki came, how he treated the blonde, how the blonde ignored him but his actions still show that he cared, how his appearance from the building relieved his heart, how his eyes finally looked at him after all those days... how his lips touched his skin and especially how Akatsuki just left him standing there... alone.
Suddenly it felt as if time was stopped and he could not breathe at all. His body was shaking and tears blurring his sight at the thought of never holding him again and apologize to him.
Perhaps because Ichiru knew that this time, there was a possibility Akatsuki was not coming back. Not like how he always did.
TBC.
