It had been a week since Teito and Frau's ice cream date. Teito had agreed to give him a chance after he spoke to Mikhail and Mikage about it. It irritated Frau that he needed their consent when Teito was a big boy, but it was probably a family thing. He'd suck it up and bite his tongue thought, since he was finally getting what he wanted, to claim Teito as his. But it's been a week since their date and Frau was getting impatient, he was human after all. He sat in the library with Castor and Labrador, his leg shaking from irritation as he bounced it with his foot, his arms crossed over his chest.
"That's really annoying Frau," Castor said calmly, flipping another page of his ugly old book he seemed so engrossed in.
"I'm not the only annoying thing."
"If you're this irritated then why don't you talk to Teito and ask why he hasn't spoken to them yet? Sitting here annoying others won't help you get any further." Labrador cut in. He was tired of Frau sulking around waiting.
"You're right!" Frau bolted up out of his chair, ignoring the 'ssh' from the librarian, and hurried out into the hall. He'd check Teito's room.
He speed walked down the hall, bobbing and weaving through the sea of people. He had his target, his goal, and he was going to achieve it. He quickened his pace. No matter how fast he walked, it seemed to get farther and farther away. He reached the stair case that led up to the dorms and started ascending them, taking four steps at a time. As he reached the top he spotted Teito's door. He smiled big and sprinted to the door and knocked roughly. He waited for a long minute, his hope starting to diminish, and then the knob began to turn. He held his breath, then let it out as the door opened, his hopes dying.
"What the hell do you want?" Mikhail barked bitterly. This man was the last person he wanted to see. Frau sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Do you know where Teito is?"
"Why should I tell you? I'm extremely pissed at you at the moment after Teito told me about you two. Do you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." Mikhail started to lecture but Frau tuned him out. So Teito had told him! That deflated his anger. Had he told Mikage yet?
"Yeah yeah, I gotta go. Later!" Frau interrupted Mikhail and hurried down the hall. Mikhail scoffed and slammed the door shut again. Frau looked out the window into the courtyard. Almost as if angels were guiding him, there Teito was, walking and talking to Mikage, Mikage's smile replaced with a frown, which was a good sign right? Who cares anyways?
Teito was walking through the courtyard with Mikage, stumbling over his words. He had recently informed Mikhail of his decision to date Frau, that didn't go over so well. Long story short, Teito now needed a new night stand. But Mikage was a lot calmer than his brother and a lot more understanding so hopefully he took it a lot better. But his silence was suggesting otherwise. Teito sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Would you please say something?" He pleaded. Mikage being silent and not smiling was so unlike him and it really worried him.
"What do you want me to say Teito?! 'Oh good for you I'm glad you're happy'! Or what about 'I hope you live happily ever after'! No Teito, its all crap. I don't get why you would choose him of all people!" Mikage started, his voice rising with each word.
"Well I would have expected you to at least be happy and support me Mikage! You're my best friend and that's all we'll ever be! So if you can't be happy for me then how can I call you my best friend?!"
He breathed heavily, staring at Mikage with wide eyes. He didn't mean to yell, but Mikage was being so unfair. He knew Mikage liked him, but he could never return his feelings, they grew up together and he didn't want to lose his best friend. Mikage stared back, his eyes emotionless. What was he thinking? Suddenly, Mikage started to walk away. He turned on his heels and began walking towards the school. Teito stood there, not sure what to do. He seen Mikage leaving and Frau approaching. Teito groaned loudly and rubbed his eyes, he was getting really irritated. He didn't really want to deal with Frau right now.
"Hey kiddo," Frau greeted happily as he reached the smaller boy and blinked. He could see the irritation in his face. "You OK?"
"No I'm not OK. I just want to be left alone for now Frau. I talked to my brother and Mikage and it's all gotta set in. But Mikage didn't take it so well and we had a huge disagreement. So I need to go settle things with him. Can you please just wait a little longer?" Teito pleaded. He seemed so desperate, making Frau feel bad. So, Frau pulled him into a big bear hug.
"I'll wait as long as I need to love," Frau spoke softly. Teito blushed brightly but slowly hugged back.
"Thank you Frau," Teito smiled and slowly followed after Mikage. Frau sighed but smiled. At least Teito was trying to make it work.
