THE RED STRING OF FATE...

Omake 6

Alfred found YongSoo standing behind the school's shed, "What happened to you back there? Everyone was enjoying a nice friendly dodgeball-game, until you decided to hit Ivan. You could have seriously hurt him."

YongSoo scoffed, "Heh, so you think he's that weak? No, I'm sure you don't. I bet you must think the world of him, don't you?". Alfred stared at YongSoo, not sure what he meant but YongSoo got irritated, "Oh, don't give me that look. You know exactly what I'm taking about. You like him, don't you?"

Now Alfred's eyes were defiant, "So, what if I do."

YongSoo pointed at the American, "How can you still like him even after he rejected you!"

Alfred shook slightly, "How do you know about that?"

YongSoo put his back against the wall, "That day, when you 'proposed' to Ivan, I was there the entire time. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just passing through when I saw you and Ivan together."

Alfred froze and then asked, "So, you heard everything? And you pretended that you just arrived?"

YongSoo nodded, "I saw how upset you were when you were turned down by him & I didn't want you to feel even more worse than you already did." Staring at the Blue-eyed boy, YongSoo asked "Why don't you just give up on him?"

Alfred glared at the Korean, "I can like whoever I want. It's none of your business."

YongSoo shouted back, "The hell it isn't. It's been my business, eversince that day" and he started to cry.

Alfred became slightly anxious, "Why are you crying?"

Wiping his tears away, YongSoo replied, "It's because you don't notice me. No matter what I do, you keep looking at that Russian-giant". Alfred turned his face away and stated, "That's enough. It's not like we were ever lovers to begin with."

YongSoo put his hand to his heart, "Apai!... You really know to attack where it hurts the most." and walked up to Alfred before stating in a firm voice, "Alfie, I love you. Please believe in the sincerity of my words. I've always loved you the minute we met and I'll remain loving you till my heart stops beating."

Looking at YongSoo's face, Alfred sighed, "I don't think you really do. You saw me getting rejected by Ivan and you felt pity for me. It's some sort misunderstanding on your part."

YongSoo however frowned, "Alfred, I'm sure of my feelings. So, please do not try to insult me by saying it's something else... If it isn't love, why is it that I feel, whenever you look at Ivan's with such longing, like my heart will break into pieces? If it isn't love, then there shouldn't be any pain."

Then YongSoo grabbed Alfred's shoulders and said in an assertive voice, "I'm here declaring to you right now that I won't be a side-dish while you're waiting for someone. I'll not be Ivan's substitute for you but if you give me a chance, I promise I'll never hurt you & will cherish you unconditionally". YongSoo later continued in a loving voice, "I just want to let you know that the world looks so beautiful to me right now and I can't think of sharing it with anyone else except you"

Watching him, Alfred couldn't believe that YongSoo could be both forceful & sweet at that same time. And to be desired by someone so passionately was something the American found hard to resist.

YongSoo slowly moved his palm towards the American's cheek and felt happy when Alfred didn't slap his hand. Instead he let the Korean caress his cheek, however, he wasn't making eyecontact, choosing to look at the ground. Noticing Alfred's slightly flushed face, YongSoo thought, 'I know Arthur mentioned to take it slow but I really want to eat him cause he looks incredibly delectable right now'

He never got the chance though because their intimate moment was disturbed when they both heard a LOUD THUD.

With frustration building within him, Hercules asked, "How long are you going keep running away from me?". He walked side by side, trying to keep up with Adnan's pace but the Turk who didn't stop moving in his tracks, replied, "As long as I can. I'm so glad that we're in separate classes because Hercules, you're seriously starting to make me worry. I'm beginning to think you're suffering from Split-personality-disorder."

The jade-eyed boy stated, "That's an illness and I assure you that I'm not sick."

The Turk stopped walking, and abruptly turned around, proclaiming, "Really? I would have thought otherwise, considering the fact that all these years you've ignored me and now you won't leave me alone. This has got to stop."

Hercules tsked, "You think I'll stop after I've tasted the forbidden fruit."

Adnan backed away, with a look of puzzlement, "What the hell does that mean! I didn't give you any fruits to taste... Wait, is that why mentioned apples the other time?"

Hearing Adnan mention that, Hercules was pleased, "You remembered what I said? I'm so happy... I wasn't sure whether you heard me properly because I know the passionate kiss that we shared was too much for a Virgin-boy like you". Adnan's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, wondering whether Hercules's real mission was to actually insult him instead of wooing him, "Hercules, do you me to kill you? Cause I swear I WILL do it."

With a depressed look, Hercules asked, "Why won't you trust me?"

Adnan clearly didn't buying Hercules's expression, "How can I trust what you're saying is true- you're the guy who stole all my past girlfriends."

Hercules tried to look as convincing as possible, "Let me clarify I never stole any of those girls."

Adnan crossed his arms and turned his back towards him, "So, how come every one of them ended by your side?"

Hercules revealed, "You want to know the truth, here it is- I wanted to see whether those girls who you chose truly loved you, that's why I seduced them. If they had refused me, then I wouldn't have pursued them any further but they willingly left you without much coercion. Except Elizabeta, who actually did refuse me."

Adnan remembered that Elizabeta was the only one who didn't go to Hercules. He then replied in an irritated whisper, "However she dumped me saying that she wanted to date someone her own age."

The Greek smiled, 'Is that what she told him? She's sweet for not telling the whole truth'. Hercules continued "When you chose Kiku as your partner, I thought that maybe you got this one right, which was why I felt sad for you when Arthur gave you the news."

Adnan, with his back still turned towards Hercules, asked "Why would did you feel sad for me?"

Hercules walked towards the Turk but not touching him, "It's because I want you to find true happiness since I adore you. I've always had these feelings for you eversince we were little. As our parents got married, I didn't want to push my feelings on you and that's why I tried to make you hate me. But when you told me that you are moving in with someone, I realized what a huge blunder I've done all these years. I should have been more honest."

Adnan turned to face Hercules and was slightly surprised to see at how close he was. He later said, "Hercules, we can't be together". The Greek replied in exasperation, "Why not? We both have the same surnames, so we're basically married."

Adnan showed a look of disbelief, "Oie, our parents are the ones who got married, not us."

Hercules replied, "Listen, you've such bad taste in partners. So, instead of you choosing who to love & protect, why don't you just let someone else love & protect you instead."

Adnan rubbing his chin and then inquired, "So, are saying instead of me doing the holding, I should be held instead?"

Hercules nodded, "That's the gist of it."

Backing away, Adnan exclaimed, "DROP DEAD! I like taking the lead. And I'm pretty strong. If there is going to be any holding done, then I am the one who will be be performing it".

Hercules looked like he was offering a compromise, "Fine, we'll decide by Rock-Paper-Scissors. The one who wins gets to do the holding. The loser gets held."

Adnan started walking, "I don't have to play this game with you because I don't want to be in a relationship with YOU!" But before, he could walk any further, Hercules grabbed his arm. Adnan trying to break from his grasp, asked, "What are you doing?"

Hercules's eyes burnt in a way that Adnan didn't like at all. The Greek coaxed, "You say that you're strong, right? If you can get away from me, then I swear I'll never come after you again. But if you can't, you are going to held by me."

Adnan screamed, "WHAT! You are insane! Let me go". It soon became a battle of pulling and pushing with Hercules declaring, "Don't take me lightly. In strength, I won't lose to you", still having a firm hold on Adnan's arm.

Having enough of the whole thing, Adnan tried to kick Jade-eyed boy away, but Hercules moved slightly and put his hand under Adnan's thigh. He then slammed the Turk to the wall with a LOUD THUD.

Feeling the air leaving his lungs, Adnan's senses became momentarily blurred. With only one leg supporting his body weight since the other leg was held by Hercules, Grey-eyed boy out of reflex put his other arm around the Greek's neck. With their hips grinding, Adnan cursed himself for getting into to this mess 'Tanrim! This position is dangerous'. Staring at Hercules's face however, Adnan couldn't believe how determined and serious the Greek was. He felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest when he saw Hercules's solemn expression

Hercules, coming close to his ear, whispered seductively "I win. You are now mine."

The moment he said, Adnan dreaded what was going to happened next and prayed to the Lord above for a distraction. Just then a rattling-noise was heard. Hercules & Adnan turned their heads to the corner, and recognized their respective classmates- Alfred being Adnan's classmate while YongSoo was Hercules's classmate.

Alfred showed a look that conveyed that he didn't mean to intrude and that he was just on his way while YongSoo on the other hand looked like he wanted to take notes and also film the whole thing, "Is this what they call Wall-Sex? It looks complicated but exciting at the same time, daze. Alfie, we should do it too."

WHAM

"APAI YO, I don't condone violence." YongSoo howled, holding his head in pain. Alfred threw daggers at YongSoo, and later proceeded to leave group.

Adnan, deciding to copy Alfred, slapped Hercules on the back of his head who instantly released him. The Turk called out, "Alfred, wait for me. Don't leave me with these predators".

Also holding his head, Hercules regretted that he missed his chance when YongSoo nudged him, "If you really want to get with that guy, ask Arthur for help." Looking at his classmate, Hercules inquired whether the Brit, who he knew was Student-Council-President's stepbrother, actually helped him. The Korean replied, "In more ways than I can hope for. Before Alfred would run at sight at me. But with Arthur's advice, I was able to finally enter his personal space... Anywaz, good luck".

Both YongSoo and Hercules left for class with the Greek wondering whether today Adnan will lock his bedroom-door again

A/N- Since both Turkey & Greece can be considered Semes, them fighting for dominance seems logical. Here, Hercules is someone who is more advanced in the sex-department hence he's a bit forceful & knows what he wants while Adnan is more virginal since he never got that far with his past girlfriends (of course, Hercules is to be blamed for his chastity)... Also here, YongSoo is someone who readily declares his love while Alfred is slow when it comes to love- which is why he isn't ready to give up on Ivan because it took him so long to confess his feelings, hence isn't willingly to let go but he'll soon..
