AN: Wow! ANOTHER chapter!? Hehe. Actually, I wanted to write this one after I did chapter 12, but I was starting to nod off, so I thought it would be better to sleep on it and then write it down. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews! ^___^ and to those few who have IMed me with compliments. I'm really starting to feel more comfortable writing this, and that's a very very good thing for me. ^^ The more comfortable I am, the easier the parts will flow. I also hope to do more sketches. I'll let ya know if I do, to those of you who are interested. Ah. ... enough with my ramblings. On with the fic!
Dr. Ri was practically in a daze on the drive home, but managed to keep himself alter enough to drive. Though it didn't matter much. It was late and he pretty much had the whole road to himself. After about twenty minutes or so of driving, he pulled into his parking stall to his apartment complex and got out of the car, grabbing a brief case from the back seat before heading in.
Once inside, Dr. Ri sank down on the sofa with a heavy sigh, setting the brief case on the table in front of him, then leaning his head back against the piece of furniture. He closed his eyes and attempted to regain control of the thoughts that had been swirling around in his head ever since the picnic with Genrou. What exactly had happened? Dr. Ri smirked slightly to himself as he answered his own question. 'Genrou managed to rope in your heart.'
Dr. Ri's brows furrowed after a moment. What in the world was he thinking? This was wrong ... completely wrong, and both he and Genrou could get in serious trouble. But for some reason, that thought made what they were doing more exciting. After being alone for so long, Dr. Ri found himself tingling all over with new feelings. Some were a little frightening, but for the most part they were wonderful. And that's just how Genrou made him feel ... wonderful. The red-haired teen was the only one so far in his life to get close to his heart after so many years of cutting himself off from any of those sorts of feelings. He was, by nature, a shy person, dedicated to his work and school, and his worst fear was being hurt when it came to love. Though he had a feeling that Genrou would sooner die than ever do anything to hurt him in any way.
A gentle smile came to the doctor's face at that thought. It was a nice feeling to know that someone out there cared so much. If only he were Genrou's age, or vise versa. Then perhaps things would be somewhat easier on them. Between society and his career, the both of them were going to have their hands full. "My career..." Dr. Ri groaned out loud to himself. Everything that he worked so hard in his life for was at stake when it came to that subject. All his years in school, the exams... It would all have been for nothing if he lost his job. Not to mention that if he did, he would be in a serious financial spot.
'All for nothing?' He was surprised by his own thought. It wasn't all for nothing if he got to be with Genrou. There was no doubt in his mind he would give up his career if he had to and that he loved the boy. How couldn't anyone? Genrou was like an affection magnet. Well, that is, once you got through his rough, outer shell. 'But what good would you be to him if you were locked up for being with a minor?' Dr. Ri thought somewhat bitterly to himself. He sighed again, and was slightly comforted by his next thought. It would only be a few months before Genrou was of age and in his last year of high school. Surely they would be able to get by in that amount of time with not problems.
Dr. Ri shook his head clear and slowly stood up and stretched for a long moment with a deep yawn. It was nearly midnight and it had been a long, thought wonderful, but long nonetheless, day. He would have more time to think about it with a clear head in the morning before he went to meet Genrou for another date. Dr. Ri chuckled lightly at that, feeling his stomach flutter with excitement, like a young teen's. Genrou did make him feel young, which helped him forget about the six year age difference between them. "No... Don't think about that now, no da. I'll get sleep and be rested for tomorrow and have a wonderful day with Genrou, na no da." Dr. Ri nodded to himself, smiling again and letting his fingers on one hand drift to his lips as his eyes slid closed and memories of the soft kisses he and Genrou had shared coming back. Keeping those thoughts in mind and nothing else, he made his way down the dark hall and into his bedroom, closing the door behind him.
AN: ^^;;; Yes, it's another short chapter, but they will be getting longer! These past two were just like a summary of Genrou and Dr. Ri's thoughts on their new situation. I think I kinda already when into too much detail as it is. ^^;;; I don't want the chapters to sound too redundant with their feelings... Anyway, thanks for reading!
