Soubi lit a cigarette as he nervously waited outside the school gates. Ritsuka would be walking out the door any minute and Soubi needed to talk to him before Satoshi did. It had been nearly a month since Soubi had seen Ritsuka and he was suffering from the withdrawal symptoms. He couldn't eat, he could barely sleep, and his mind was no longer safe. His head looked up when the school bell rang. Children ran out of the gates as fast as possible. A mop of pink pigtails caught his attention along with two short brunettes.
"SOUBI-SAN!!" Yuiko yelled loudly as she ran over to him. She jumped into his open arms, holding him close. "I missed you." she muttered into his chest.
"I'm sorry Yuiko-chan. It's been a while hasn't it?" Soubi said, smiling. Yuiko nodded and buried her face deeper in his chest. He looked up at the two boys. Yayoi looked relieved with a hint of jealousy while Ritsuka face was blank.
He still didn't remember.
"Soubi-san?" Yuiko asked, looking up. She saw the look on Soubi's face and her expression softened. "He's missed you Soubi-san. Please go talk to him."
"Do you remember me Ritsuka-kun?" Soubi asked brightly. The boy blushed and nodded. He walked out of Yuiko's grasp and bent to Ritsuka's cat ear. "I'm glad." The blush deepened and Soubi stood tall. Ritsuka gazed at him for a moment before looking at the ground, his blush practically screaming on his face.
It was the most adorable thing Soubi had ever seen.
When Ritsuka looked up again the blonde had had gone back to talking with Yuiko and Yayoi. They all looked happy. Not once did the blonde look over at him. Ritsuka put his hand to his chest, a breaking feeling in his heart. Yuiko noticed that Ritsuka was standing alone. She grabbed his hand and led him into their group, putting him right by Soubi. The made polite conversation never going past two or three sentences at a time.
The sky began to darken. Yuiko and Yayoi said their goodbyes, claiming they had to go home. Soubi looked at the younger boy.
"Shall we go?" he asked. Ritsuka nodded, his blush returning. "Do you want me to walk you home?" To Soubi's surprise the tomato with hair (oh, wait, that was Ritsuka's head) nodded. Soubi offered his hand and Ritsuka took it without a second thought. They walk in silence until Ritsuka felt the questions start to over-flow inside him.
"Why'd you come today?" he asked so suddenly and so quickly that he wondered if the man had even heard him. Soubi turned his head to face Ritsuka.
"What if I said that it's because I wanted to see you?" Soubi asked. Ritsuka blushed but kept his gaze.
"I'd ask why." he responded.
"And if I said it's because I love you?" Ritsuka heard the seriousness in this playful question.
"I'd ask why again."
"Why all the why's?" Soubi asked.
"Because I want to know."
"Well then, I'd say it's because that day, when I saved you, you vulnerability made me fall for you." Soubi said smiling.
"Then I'd call you a pervert." Ritsuka said, pouting his lips. Soubi laughed.
"Some how, I knew you would."
"I bet you stalk me." Ritsuka said off-handedly, not expecting the reaction Soubi gave. He felt a pull on his arm and he tumbled into Soubi's arms. The blonde bent, almost capturing his lips.
"And if I do?" Soubi asked, his voice a whisper. Ritsuka shivered.
"I'd say that I don't mind." Ritsuka whispered back. And they were kissing, lips pressing together desperately, tongues clashing. Ritsuka moaned.
He did not care that he didn't know this man very well or that he was older. All he knew was that he felt protected in his strong arms and how much safer he felt than he ever did with Satoshi.
SATOSHI!Ritsuka's mind screamed. Satoshi was waiting for him, to tell him something important. But the lips on his felt so good and the arms were wrapped so tight.
He really didn't want to go. So he didn't.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Satoshi tapped his foot impatiently, looking at the clock every other second. Just to be sure he took out his cellphone. Time's matched and he put the phone away. Ritsuka should be here by now. Satoshi had told him 6:30 right? So where was he. He glanced at the clocks again. 7:00. 30 minutes late was not Ritsuka at all. His Ritsuka was always on time to everything. What could have happened?
Soubi.
Satoshi cursed himself for forgetting that factor. The man had just been so quiet for the past month that Satoshi couldn't see him as a threat anymore. Wrong again. he'd been wrong about Seimei, so what made him think he wouldn't be wrong now.
"Why didn't you call me?!" Satoshi asked angrily. Seimei shrugged.
"I forgot. I was playing a game with Soubi and I lost track of time. " Seimei explained.
"Of course you were with Soubi. you're alwayswith Soubi."
"I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean to stay for so long." Seimei explained.
"Why'd you go in the first place? To have some fun? Is that what you d o with Soubi, fool around?" Satoshi asked. Seimei grabbed his ears.
"These are still real."
"There are things you can do that don't involve losing your ears." Satoshi said quietly.
"Do you think I'd do something like that?" Seimei asked in disbelief.
"Well, he is your fighter. Why not?"
"For your information Satoshi Soubi is-"
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"What?" Satoshi asked angrily. The door opened and Hana walked in, her face streaked with tears and fire in her eyes. She held up a note.
"What the fuck is this!?" she yelled. Satoshi winced and rubbed his ear.
"Must you be so loud?" he asked. Hana started fuming again.
"Yes I must! You fuckin' liar! you said I would Hana back if I help you and all I get is this paper telling me that she's being held ransom until the job is completely finished! That wasn't part of the deal!" Hana yelled.
"It's best if you do what kidnappers say." Satoshi said as he grinned at her. He put his elbow on the table and rested his chin on his hand. "They can have the most nastiest tempers."
Hana yelled random words at him (mostly curses) unable to make a complete sentence. Satoshi smiled at her and waved her out the door.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dinner date. Bye bye now."
Hana glued her feet to the floor, refusing to move until Satoshi muttered a spell under his breath. Her feet were forced to move.
"Such a useful trick." Satoshi said in a happier mood. Causing Hana pain always brought a smile to his face. He refused the urge to check the clock again as he whipped out his cellphone. "I'm sorry it's so late Miyako, but I was wondering if I could talk with Momo?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ritsuka snuck into his room after telling Soubi he had to go. His lips were still tingling from the kiss. His fingers unconsciously grazed over his mouth slowly. The kiss(es) had not been as long as Ritsuka had thought they were, but they were enough to make him lose all coherent speaking. He changed into his pajamas and snuggled into his covers.
Before his eyes closed in exhaustion his door was thrown open and Satoshi was standing there with an insane gleam in his eye.
"Did you enjoy yourself Ritsuka?" Satoshi asked. Ritsuka tried to take a breath. "Did you forget what we had planned today. It was something special."
Ritsuka nodded slowly.
"Who were you with Ritsuka, that could make you forget about our date? Was it Yuiko?"
Ritsuka knew he should have jumped at that answer, agreeing right away. But he couldn't.
"No." his voice cracked.
"Then who?" Satoshi's voice asked, calm.
"S-soubi." Ritsuka stuttered.
"Soubi? Who's Soubi?" Satoshi asked, placing a finger to his cheek.
Ritsuka had no answer.
"So ,some Soubi guy kept you from me, but you don't even know who he is?" Satoshi asked, pretending he was trying to make sense of everything. Ritsuka, with lack of a better answer, nodded.
Everything went quickly after that.
Satoshi grabbed Ritsuka by the hair, throwing him to the ground. His hand raised and lowered repeatedly, leaving new scars and bruises with every touch. Pain wracked through both bodies when the final blow came. Satoshi kicked him hard.
"Before you abandon me for some guy," Satoshi panted, completely out of breath, "You should find out who he is."
The door slammed.
Ritsuka sat up slowly, holding his stomach. He could feel something coming so he rushed to his trashcan. When he saw what was in there whatever was coming decided to stay put. He pulled it out of the garbage.
It was a picture of Soubi and Ritsuka in a park, holding each other.
Ritsuka couldn't remember taking the picture or even knowing Soubi at the time that was on the picture. Underneath that photo were others. Some like the first one and others more...intimate. Each one had Soubi. This time, something else started to come up.
Tears.

Chapter 14 of a Loveless Fanfic
Thank you for reading chapter 14 "Taking Action" of Forget Me Not
I Do NOT own Loveless
And this idea isn't all that original
But I do own this plot which, as far as I can tell, is original
So please read chapter 15
-animeangel665-
A/N WOOHOO!!!! I am not failing any classes.! I'm so proud of myself...and the break I had gave me some new ideas for the story so now it's even more action packed! (I hope)
I had planned for this chapter to come later since I wanted to draw out the story, but because I came up with another plot twist, it allowed this part to come earlier. (and to note...the real Ritsuka met Soubi when he first "woke up"...that's how he remembers Soubi)
And for any Hari and Hana fans (I'm not sure if they have any) they will be making a comeback...and a big one so stay tuned. Satoshi is an evil maniac...probably why I like him so much.
All right, I'm done now. Please review if you can. They make me smile. and thank you to all of you who do review. They absolutely make my day!
