Chapter 13 - Awkward Conversation

Kazu let out a heavy sigh of relief and looked away from Agito, feeling equally awkward. "U..umn..." He tried desperately to hide in his snickering but to no avail. "Pfft...s..sorry..." The blond completely turned his back to Agito, both hands over his mouth as if that would hold in his laughter. He didn't want to insult Agito anymore then he was but he just couldn't help but be amused by his feminine attempt.

"Sh-shut up!" Agito yelled, looking away as his face started to heat up. He brought a hand up to cover his blush. "Fuck."

"I'm sorry...really...I'm trying not to...but I...just really didn't expect you to try a female voice...which, you did really well by the way." Kazu replied, still snickering. He turned back around to face Agito, having somewhat gained his composure. "So, I'm Kaz-kun huh?"

"Again. Shut up." The boy pressed his hand harder against his face as if trying to suppress the blush from spreading.

Kazu tilted his head at the shark protectively covering his face. He stepped closer and leaned in towards Agito, just barely able to see the light tinge of pink creeping up his cheek. "A...are you...blushing?" he asked, a bit surprised.

"No. Shut up." he replied, turning away.

"Aww~ Agito..." Kazu grinned, hugging him from behind. "Hontou ni kawaii..." he muttered silently.

"Sh-Shut up! You wanna die?" Agito yelled as his blush deepened even more.

The blond laughed lightly and tilted his head to kiss the boy's cheek. "It's fun to watch you slowly opening up to me."

"Fuck." Agito continued to look away from him as he started to contain the blush. It lightened considerably but didn't disappear.

"You're way to bothered by silly things." Kazu stated lightly. "What's so bad about being called cute? I've had girls call me cute before. Who cares? A complement is a complement."

"Shut up..." the boy mumbled again. He brought his hand up and laid it lightly on Kazu's head.

The blond smiled. "You're never gunna tell me anything are you?"

"Maybe..." Agito replied, thinking.

"Heh...avoiding the question like usual."

"Fine, I'll restate my answer." He looked down at Kazu with a smirk. "It'll depend on how and when you ask."

"Hmn...what if I ask you now? Why does being complemented as "cute" offend you?"

"Akito is cute, I am not."

Kazu laughed. "I-it's the same body Agito..." he replied. "And you avoided the question again."

"It doesn't matter if we have the same body. I don't act like Akito, fucking obviously. I don't act cute." he insisted.

"It has nothing to do with acting Agito. You're cute because you have this hidden gentle side that most people don't get to see. So you might not appear that way to anyone else. But to me, you are. It's not...You aren't cute because of...umn, I don't know how to word this. You're cute because...it's more of a cute in a loving respectful way not like a girly fluffy puppy kind of cute...now 'that' is more Akito."

"Uh huh..." Agito replied trying to follow his train of thought. "So you love and respect me eh?"

"Don't get too confidant there shark." Kazu replied in an unsatisfied tone. He let out a semi-disappointed sigh. "It'd be easier to complement you if you'd stop teasing me every time I try to say something nice."

"Fuck, it's not like you can't take it."

"Yeah, I can." He replied, his voice sounding a bit sombre suddenly. "Doesn't mean you should do it. And somehow in the end you're the one who's insulted and got me feeling bad. You aren't very fair."

"No one said I was fair, Kazu." Agito mumbled as he tilted his head down to gently peck the blond on his temple.

Kazu groaned in dissatisfaction. "You enjoy toying with me don't you?" he mumbled.

"Yes, just as you enjoy teasing me." Agito answered with laugh.

"I suppose. I'm just determined to figure you out." he smirked. Kazu tightened his grip around the boy's waist. "It's nice to hold you like this." he stated softly after a moment.

"Yeah... I guess... It's nice to... to be held...like- uh... like this" he replied as he struggled with the right words to explain.

The blond smiled at the his awkward response. "So-" Kazu stopped. The word he was going to say was "cute" but he decided not to provoke the shark any more today. He closed his eyes and let out a small laugh and decided to just not say anything, failing to come up with an appropriate substitute for the word.

Agito sighed. Being in a relationship was hard work. The shark leaned his head on Kazu's and closed his eyes. He enjoyed the feeling of Kazu hugging him. "Your hair smells nice..." he mumbled absently.

Kazu opened his eyes, surprised at the sudden complement. "U-uh...thanks..." he replied a bit awkwardly. 'Why does it seem like we only get along at night? It's like we tire each other out with arguing all day.'

"What?" Agito asked sensing Kazu's awkwardness.

"Nothing..." he replied, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"Alright, whatever." he mumbled back. Now he was curious to the blonds' thoughts.

"I just didn't expect it that's all. Thank you."

"You're welcome..." was the gruff response. Agito wasn't very used to the 'thank-you' exchange.

The blond let out another small laugh and closed his eyes again. His hand unconsciously snuck it's way under the boy's shirt.

Agito jumped slightly in surprise as Kazu's hand grazed over his skin.

The blond smirked slightly, his eyes still closed. His hand never had any intention of actually going anywhere.

The shark shook his head at the mischievous blond. With a smirk, he retaliated by biting the top of Kazu's ear.

He winced slightly, more so out of surprise then pain. "You and your biting." he mumbled, still smirking.

"You and your hand on my stomach." Agito whispered back, also still smirking.

The blond snickered. "Does it bother you?"

"No, does my biting bother you?"

"No. Provided you don't get carried away."

"What qualifies as 'getting carried away'?" Agito asked as multiple ideas popped into his mind.

The blond lifted up his finger, showing the mark left behind by Agito biting him earlier. "That was unappreciated..."

"And I don't classify that as 'getting carried away'."

"Well I d-" Kazu stopped and shot a questioning glare at the shark. "Wh-what do you classify as 'getting carried away'?"

"Would you like me to demonstrate?" Agito replied with a sadistic smile, raising a curious eyebrow.

"Uh...n...no...you'll probably kill me..." Kazu muttered, slightly alarmed by his expression.

"I won't kill you, fuck you'll probably end up liking it."

"Er...somehow...I doubt it." he replied, still a bit alarmed. "I'm not a masochist..."

"For the moment, no." Agito laughed at the blond's reaction, placing another kiss on Kazu's temple as he brushed his hand through the male's hair. "If you really didn't like it, I would stop." he whispered, sounding almost gentle.

Somehow Agito being gentle made Kazu feel even more cautious. "I...you...uh...I don't... wanna know..."

"Don't you?" Agito asked with a sly smile and a piercing, almost challenging, look as if he knew better then Kazu did what he wanted.

"Uh..." Kazu didn't know how to respond. He was half afraid Agito would jump him if he said no.

The shark laughed seeing his hesitation. "Whatever suits you, darling." he teased as he stepped away. "You wanna give it a try, you know where I am." Agito pulled him into a kiss and chuckled to himself as he started to skate away.

"O-oi..." Kazu muttered, still half dazed by the boy's behavior. Though, he was already too far away. "What's with that?" he wondered, still staring in the direction Agito left. He shook his head and turned around to go home. 'Was he serious?'

Author's notes:

Oh my goodness, we love you guys, we really do. :) Thank you for all your reviews and opinions. It makes me happy to know that we have such faithful readers. We feel loved. We do. XD

Now, after considering it, we've decided to "try" for an update every week. So there will be a chapter either by or on Friday. So hopefully this will work well with our schedule. We'll see. If it changes we'll let you know.

Now, on another note, I know sometimes I read a review or even read another persons story and think wow that person sounds cool, I think it'd be fun to talk to them. So we have another question.

How would you guys feel if we created a Forum based on this fic?
It would just be a place to get to interact with us, give us suggestions- maybe even ideas for other fics or just whatever. I also thought maybe we could set up a thread where me and Runi would play as the characters we play and you guys can in a sense talk to them or ask them questions and stuff. Let us know.

Okay, so there is chapter 13. Hope you enjoyed, it's a bit of a shorter chapter but hopefully you still liked it just as much. Hehe, Agi is being mischievous. You know you want it Kazu. ;p

For Your Amusement- In this chapter: Runi as Agito. Zuku as Kazuma.

As usual, comments are always welcome and of course we thank you everyone who reads, reviews, alerts, favs, etc... Hope you enjoyed, see you in Chapter 14~!
