CHAPTER 5
4:00 AM the next day...
Ken groaned and pressed his pillow over his head as the phone rang. He attempted to throw his pillow at the phone and when he missed, crawled over to it.
"I'm sleeping, what do you want!"
On the other side, Crawford winced. "Aah, sorry to wake you up so early but I wantd to know if you're free for today."
"CRAWFORD?! Oi, it's 4:00 AM! Can't you let me sleep?!"
"Actually, I had made a reservation for a boat ride and if you say yes, we have to get to my plane by 5:30."
Ken was about to shout a "no!" into the phone but bit back his reply. Reservation...? Even if he didn't go, Crawford would have to pay for it anyway. Ken sighed. He hated feeling guilty.
"Fine, I'll go."
"Arigatou. I'll pick you up at five. Dress warmly but besure to have something light underneath."
"'K."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The whole house woke up when the doorbell rang. Yohji, Ran and Omi were at the door when Ken was.
"Where are you going?"
Ken was pulling on a light jacket as he opened the door. Yohji looked saddened when he saw the man behind the door.
"KenKen, your first date is gonna be w/... w/... _Crawfish (1) _?!"
Crawford glared at Yohji who just smirked back at him as Ken burst out laughing.
"Gomen... //gasp// but... but it's soo... //gasp// funny!"
"I'm glad you find it so amusing but can we go now?"
Ken nodded and they left, leaving a fuming Yohji behind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sugoi~! What a beautiful yacht!"
Ken stared out into the ocean, smiling happily. He breathed in the cool salt air and sighed contentedly. He shivered lightly at the harsh wind, having brought a light jacket, assuming that it would keep him warm.
"Here, wear this."
"Iie, daijoubu. You'll be cold."
"I'll be fine."
Crawford draped his long coat around Ken's shoulders and sat back down, steering. Ken blushed, pulling the coat tighter around him, letting the warmth from Crawford seep into his limbs...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I had a lot of fun today, Crawford. Arigatou."
"Brad."
"Huh?"
"I would like it if you called me Brad."
"H-hai!"
Ken mentally kicked hismelf. Why was he being so shy?! It was _only_ Crawford! He tried not to blush and only blushed harder as he stood before Crawford, fidgeting. Crawford smiled down at him and gently laid the palm of his hand on one of Ken's cheeks.
"Kawaii..."
Ken's face snapped up to stare at the man who was slowly leaning down towards him. Crawford gently kissed Ken's lips - only for a few seconds - and turned to leave. Before leaving, he turned to Ken again, who had his fingers on his lips.
"Would you have dinner with me tomorrow night?"
Ken nodded and waved as Crawford left. When he entered the building, he found Yohji sitting in a chair and staring at him. Yohji felt a twinge in his heart when he saw Ken coming in content and blushing.
"What're you doing up, Yotan?"
"What'd you guys do?"
"We sailed."
"Oh, did you have fun?"
"Yea! It was sooo much fun! And Brad was sooo cool! He knew exactly what to do and..."
Yohji blocked out Ken's voice. Brad...? When had Crawford become _Brad_?
"Yotan? YOTAN!"
Yohji jumped slightly as Ken yelled into his ear. "What the hell was that for?!"
"I was calling you but you ignored me. Yotan, are you all right? You looked a little sad... Did I say something wrong?"
Yohji stared down at the confused and worried eyes that stared up at him. "Iie. I was just wondering... wanna go out with me tomorrow night?"
"Gomen-ne, Yotan. Brad asked me out..."
"Then night after tomorrow night."
"Sure, Yotan!"
Ken hurried upstairs and tried to fall asleep. Instead, images of Crawford smiling, laughing, extending his hand to him when he fell, draping his coat over his shoulders ran through his head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken sighed as one of his charges tripped - again. He carried the child over ot the bench, telling the others to go on practicing. He was almost finished treating the skinned knee when his team rushed over to him.
"Ken-Nii! There's a weird guy with orangey-red hair waiting for you over there!"
They pointed towards the bleachers, where Schuldich was sitting. Schuldich waved and Ken sighed.
"Okay, guys! Start passing the ball around to each other."
Ken went up to the bleachers and sat next to Schuldich. "They called you weird."
"I'm not weird."
Ken shrugged, saying, "You know, kids are better at seeing people's true selves than adults are."
"Urusai."
"What'd you come here for?"
"I wanted to ask you for a date tonight."
"I already promised Brad."
"Brad? You call him Brad?"
Ken looked defiant as he said, "What? Can't I call him that?"
"Iie, that's no it. Um... what about tomorrow night?"
"Yotan."
"Then night after tomorrow."
"..."
"Come on, Ken. You should give me a chance, too."
"Fine, Schuldich. I'll see you la- OI, HIROSHI, DON'T YOU _DARE_ KICK NAKAMOTO!"
Schuldich left silently as Ken yelled at Hiroshi, who kicked Nakamoto anyways. "I can't believe you did that, Hiroshi! Right after I told you not to! Your mother is..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken opened the door to his room when he heard a knock. "Aah, gomen. I'm not ready yet, so why don't you come in?"
Crawford stared at Ken as he entered, his eyes traveling down from the dripping brown locks on Ken's head to the... lower regions. Ken noticed and threw the towel that had been on his head at Crawford's face and ran into the bathroom.
"Ecchi!"
Ken leaned against the bathroom, panting heavily. He rubbed his red face with a towel and pulled off the small towel around his waist to change.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When he emerged from the bathroom fully changed, he found Crawford peering into an album. "Iie!"
He tackled it from Crawford's hands and quickly stuffed it into the bookshelf.
"What's wrong? You look cute in those pictures."
"Ish so embarrassing... I was always injured and had bandages and such all over me all the time. I was sooo clumsy."
Crawford laughed, saying, "And you're not clumsy now?"
Ken blushed more and said, "Well.... um..."
"I want this one. Can I have it?"
Crawford showed him the picture he had taken out before Ken had stolen the album away and Ken squawked, face flushing more if it was possible.
"Why did you have to choose _that_ one?!"
"You look good!"
"I look ridiculous!"
Ken was wearing only a pair of bathing trunks that were dangeriously low and he was posing 'sexily' on some sand, one hand holding up his head, the other resting lightly on his hips.
"How'd you end up taking a picture like that anyways? You seem like the type that would never do something like that..."
"It was for the school's charity fundraiser. It was a date auction and my friends insisted that they had to take a picture like that..."
"Well, that means that a lot of people saw it already."
"Fine, you can have it."
Crawford grinned and slipped it into his wallet.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Nani?! Crawford got a picture of Ken?! In nothing but a pair of swimming trunks?! When?! That's not fair!"
Yohji glared at Crawford while Schuldich tried to steal Crawford's wallet. Ken ignored the three, eating ice cream with Omi.
"Ken-kun, you promised to come see my debate tonight! Are you going to come?"
Ken gasped. "Shit! Brad, do you mind coz I really -"
"It's fine. We'll see that and then I'll take you out to dinner."
Ken smiled and nodded. "Thanks."
"Mou, Ken-kun! I can't believe you forgot!"
"Hey, I'm not missing it, am I?"
