*DING DONG*
Yoh : "Excuse m--YAAAAHHH!!!" (@o@)
*RATATATTATATTATATTATATTATATTATATTA*
Manta : "MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!" (^o^)
Yoh : "Ma-Manta…..You scared me to death !!!" (o;)
Manta : "How do you like my cracker, huh ?" (^_-)
Yoh : "You're gonna pay for this…." (-_-;)
Manta : "Don't just stand there all day. Come in !"
*BLAM*
Manta : "My mom made a turkey. It's very juicy. Want some ?"
Yoh : "Naah ~~ I've just eaten. By the way, nice tree !" (^-^)
Manta : "Thanks. Cookies? or maybe some cakes ?"
Yoh : "Can we just go upstairs ?"
Manta : "Uh..okay…you look gloomy today….."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here. Try these orange cookies"
"Yeah, yeah…."
*MUNCH MUNCH*
"How's that ?"
"Yummy !!" (^o^)
"You really love orange, aren't ya ?" (^_^)
I grinned at him. Then he smiled back. But then, his smile vanished and all I could see was his pale face.
"Tell me"
"?"
"About yesterday night"
He looked into my eyes. Somehow, my heart's beating faster than usual. He opened his mouth and start.
------------------------------------------------
"……..and now, I'm sitting here and tell everything to you. The end"
I was stunned by his story. It's like a drama show, which my mother usually watches on noon.
"Too theatrical, isn't it ?"
"I can't believe it…"
"Neither can I…." (/._.\)
We remained silence. It's pretty unbelievable, knowing that they've spent good….err….peaceful times since 2 years ago. Seeing them like this now…..really makes me sad. They're my best friends after all.
"Maybe you heard the wrong song, Yoh"
"Maybe…..please play the next song, Manta"
He threw the cassette to me. I caught it and played it on my tape.
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
"Uh-oh, this sounds bad…" (+_+;)
"Turn it off"
I hurriedly turned it off and saw my best friend on his eyes. He seemed angry and distressed. I approached him and patted him on the back. I thought he'd cry, but he didn't. Suddenly, I realized that I'd prepared him a gift.
"Wait here. I've got something for you"
I went down to the Christmas tree and took a present with the words 'Yoh'. I came back to my room and handed it over to him.
"Merry Christmas. Again"
He grinned and thanked me. He opened it and seemed amazed.
"Great! A CD !"
"Why don't you hear it ?"
"I will"
You've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your ol' pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too, maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by, our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me….
"This is just too much…..first Tamao and now you…..i don't deserve to receive your affections…"
"Oh come on, Yoh! It doesn't matter whether you deserve it or not, even though you do. It's because we love you, we care about you and we want to help you whenever you need us! It's hard to see you in pain, yanno ?"
"Manta…"
"If you hate Anna, then hate her. Do you?"
"No…I- I don't hate her…."
"So that means you love her, right? If you love her, then go and shout it loud to her. She needs a prove"
"Is that so ?"
"Hey, you're talking to the expert of it, Manta-sama !" (^_-)d
"Who?! You?! Since when ?!" (o_O)
"Uh…It was a gag…." (-_-;)
"It was? What a flat gag you had…" (·_·;)
"Okay! Case closed !" (=_=;)
I turned my back against him. Out of the blue, he touched my shoulder and held me close. I thought I'm gonna die in shock.
"Arigatou…Manta…"
My heart's beating too fast and all I could hear was my heartbeat. I flushed and sweated. He really knows how to make me blush !!
"Y-Yoh…"
My face reddened as I tried to look him on the face. And I noticed that he's fallen asleep.
I took him to the couch and covered him with a blanket. I stared at him and smiled. My face came close to his.
And I kissed him.
Soft but deeply. I felt really warm inside my body. Then I broke the kiss. I saw him mumbling something in his sleep. I smiled again. I walked to my phone and dialled a number.
"Hello. Prambors Radio Station? I want to request a song…."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
n.b: I want to use one of the best radio stations in my country in this fic. Dunno why. (^_^;) next : HoRen!
