Two shadows of the trained
assassins were seen jumping off from the rooftop of Angel's Corp, heading to
their main headquarter, the Koneko. Yohji jumped into his car, drove it quickly
as Omi jumped to the front seat beside him.
"Phew… that was close!"
Yohji demanded.
"Yeah, the security here is a
lot more tougher than I thought it would be." Omi replied, arranging his
position on the car seat.
"But we managed to keep it on,
right bishonen?" the older boy smiled his way of smile, making the younger one
to smiled back at him sheepishly.
/See, he's blushing again.
Whenever I throw my smile to him, he just blushes like that. Damn, if I ever
seen any other cute blush like the way he's blushing right now…/
/Kuso! Now here I am, making my
own face all red hot with the reason that I'm still not sure what the heck is
it. See, now he's observing me from the corner of his eyes. He must think
I'm a moron or something…/
/Did he know that I was gazing at
his cuteness? Is it just me or because of my dull act of gazing to another *boy*
he turned his face away from me?/
/Oh God…now this is starting to
lead into a total *awkward* scene. Am I going to look outside like this for
another torturing 30 minutes for this car to arrive at the Koneko? I shouldn't
have turned! Baka Omi, baka Omi, baka, baka, baka!!!/
/He didn't give the sign of
turning back to me…turn back Omi! I just want to see your face…/
/Just 5 minutes passed and my
neck is starting to cramp up. *blink* wake up Omi!! You are beside the playboy
Yohji-kun, and not Miss Universe! Just act like what a not-so-nervous-Omi would
act! Ask him something, anything, whatever the hell it is, just say something!!
Before you gone nuts!/
/What's this urge feeling to
hold and turn his face towards me…? I want to see those blue orbs again…/
Silent.
"U-umm, do you think Ran-kun
would appreciate our acts in the Angel's Corp?" Omi asked, finally turning
his head back to Yohji. Yohji acted like he's not gazing to Omi's back neck
and all those stuffs. Ok so Yohji has to admit that he's kinda nervous now.
The nervous tone in Omi's small voice just make him felt more uncomfortable. A
Joke. He needs a joke.
"Ran? No. Shizuka? Hell yes."
Omi chuckled at the joke that
Yohji announced. Actually it wasn't very funny at all, but he made the
situation to less tense than just now, where the situation for both of them,
with no one knows what exactly the reason is, uncomfortable with. It made him
feel more comfortable since Yohji is acting like 'playboy ordinary Kudou'
would have reacted. So Yohji-ish.
When the comfortable feelings got
all warm up in Omi's heart, he closed his eyelids…
"How about you bishonen? What
do you think will happen next?"
No answer. Yohji turned his head
to the direction of the just-slept boy. Noticing that the boy who now already
took off to dream realm is just so beautiful, Yohji smiled, a warm fuzzy smile
that he never thought he could do, at the sleeping blonde angel.
/Hmm, I wonder if Omi would mind
if I don't take the short cut to the Koneko… just so…/ he looked at
Omi's sleeping face. /…I can gesture to his cute face for awhile…ah heck
whether Omi would mind or not, I'm going to take the long routine./
And with that, the car of the
assassins slowed it moves and headed to the long smooth lonely highway in Tokyo.
Yohji smiled.
"This must be stairway to
Heaven."

The next morning.
Omi came into the room with his
hands full of thick books and papers slipping down on his hands. Ken who noticed
that went straight to help his little friend. Omi smiled in reply as Ken took
half of what Omi brought. The books and papers were dumped to the table
violently, making Ran who's fantasizing—again, to widen his eyes in
surprise.
"There." Omi said briskly,
smiling at Ken and thanked him for the help.
"Bishonen, mind to explain us
what the hell are these?" Yohji came into the room, merely looking at the pail
of thick books and papers all scattered on the table. Ran took a book and read
the title.
Ran widened his eyes.
"…Omi." The boy looked up to his leader.
"Where did you get these
books?"
Omi smiled. "Never
underestimate stuffs that small guys like me can do, Ran-kun. Got it from an old
friend of mine. Aren't they just fabulous?"
Yohji and Ken blinked at each
other. Ran nodded, tugging out his glasses and put it on, he started to flip
some pages on the book. Omi looked at Yohji with a meaningful look, it's just
that now Yohji can't really tell what the bright boy was trying to tell him.
"Omi, what are these?" Ken
asked finally, breaking the silence.
"These," Omi took a random
book and shoved it in front of Ken and Yohji. "…are the complete guides
about creating and destroying Angels."
Yohji stared at the dusted book
titled 'Angels 01' with awe when Ken stared at the book that Aya's reading
now, maybe paying more attention at the man who's reading than the juice of
the book itself. Omi noticed that Ken was staring at their leader, and not the
book. He smiled for that.
"Ken-kun." He called calmly.
Ken, who was staring at Ran, gasped and turned his head to the boy awkwardly.
Omi smiled. He grabbed Ken's hand briskly and told Yohji to cover his part,
since Omi covered his last week. Yohji who can't say 'no' to the wide-eyed
boy just sighed but do as he told. He tapped Ran on the shoulder, murmuring
something like he's the one who's going to open the flowershop for that day.
Omi dragged Ken to the room where
they play their mission tapes regularly and asked him to sit down. Ken did that
as Omi took a chair and sat in front of him. He stared at Ken's eyes for a few
minutes. Ken started to feel not so comfortable.
"Err, Omi? What do you want?"
"Hmm… Ken-kun, I need your
honesty."
Ken blinked. "Eh? What
honesty?"
"I'm going to make this quick
Ken-kun…"
Ken looked at Omi who started to
lower his eye level and finally turned his gaze to the floor, looking like
almost want to say something but didn't say anything at all. Ken blinked
again, having not a single clue what is Omi trying to say. Starting to be
disgusted in this situation, Ken began to talk again, trying to make Omi say
what he wanted to say.
"Spit it out Omi, what do you
want?"
A silence. After a minute or two,
the younger blonde finally looked straight up onto the brunette's eyes and
softly, whispered.
"I…l…v…an…un…"
"Nani?" Ken shoved his ear to
the blonde's lips. "What did you say??"
Omi blushed furiously. A thick
but strange blush, he slowly repeated.
"I…love…Ran-kun…"
Ken widened his eyes in a mixed
feeling of various kinds of feelings except of happiness.
***
It was late and the Koneko has
closed. The Weiß has returned to their own apartment's room. That didn't
come to a certain brunette who decided to take a walk alone in the park. He
walked without any exact spot to go, as his thoughts are just ordering his feet
to walk, without detailing in some place. His eyes are dark, signaling that he
was more diving deep into his inner thoughts.
After sometime that indicated for
about good 45 minutes of walking, he sat on the nearest bench with the pale
yellow street lamps as his lighter.
/What the hell was THAT all
about? Love? Was that the best friend I thought I ever had was telling me that
he's in love with somebody that *I* love??/
A pause.
/…Well I can't blame him. I
never tell anybody about this, and it will be not strange if anyone—even my
best friend, fell in love with someone as beautiful as Ran… but then, why I
never notice that before??/
He sighed. He lifted his legs on
the bench and sat comfortably at it. Memorizing and trying to consume up on what
was just happened.
[Memory]
"B-but why are you telling me
this? Shouldn't then…" Ken swallowed his heart pain. "…you tell
Ran?"
Omi looked up at him, "I'm
scared that he will reject me. You see, Ran-kun never pay any special attention
to me right?"
/I never thought *you* did, Omi./
"Yeah, but…"
"Oh please Ken-kun! Don't
tell anyone about this ok? I will just so become embarrass and it will ruin my
chance with Ran-kun forever!!"
/Oh for the happiness in
me…WHAT??! Did I just think that I would be happy if Ran rejects Omi?? KEN!!!
No, Ken! This is not you!! Omi is your friend. And friends are supposed to help
each other. You are the one who understand how's it felt to be betrayed by a
friend, and now you want Omi to feel exactly like you did??? God Ken, he got
already more sorrows and you want to add more?? For God sake's, he is just
*damn* 17!!!/
Trying to burden the hurt
feelings that he got from the word 'a chance with Ran-kun forever', he tried
to smile. Failed in that, the tears that already got out from his heart made
their way out onto his eyes with no mercy. Strolling down on Ken's cheek, the
tears soon got removed by Ken's hand quickly.
Omi stared at Ken in total
silence.
"Ken-kun…are you…"
Ken gaped. Didn't want to hear
the next words that are going to be out soon, Ken stood straightly from the
couch he was sitting and looked to his watch. Again, he used the old tactic of
'teaching children soccer, need to go now if not I'm late' act at Omi and
knew so well that he failed in making Omi to believe that he have some bunch of
children to teach to.
Ken always knows that he's a
terrible actor, but has no time or more urge to stay and listen to what Omi's
going to talk about, he ran out of the mission room and headed to anywhere but
the Koneko…or just stay away from 2 certain people, Omi—and Ran. He promised
himself that he will get back to the Koneko just at the time when the Koneko is
going to be closed.
[Memory fades out]
/Heck, now since Omi fell in love
with Ran… I don't really mind with that, but what if Ran also feels the
same?/
He shuddered.
/Then what will happen to me?
With all these feelings that kept unrevealed? With all these thousand of
questions that kept unanswered? What the hell will happen to me, then? Saying
'congratulations' at the happy couple and burn myself in hell??/
He sighed again.
/…Could I still smile this
genki fake smile to them when they get together?/
He looked to the moon. The cold
wind whispered on his back neck, making him to shiver but didn't even care on
making himself all warm up. He was planning on another self-burying in the
pillow tonight.
"Damn you Ran, why are you so
irresistible?"
And with that, he kicked a random
stone, stood up, and went for another walking. Maybe if he walks and torture his
feet bad enough, he can forget about everything that intrigued him from giving
his genki smile. And what he means by everything is Omi confession about Ran to
him and about Ran, the cold bastard redhead leader himself. He still couldn't
find any good answer why Omi would tell it to him, is it just because of he is
Omi's best friend?
Ah, heck with the answer. The
point is Omi is in love with Ran, he too is *deeply* in love with Ran, both of
them don't know how the hell is Ran feeling, and they still have a mission to
take care.
He smirked. "So much to do and
so much unanswered activities."
He stopped. After a few minutes
of standing in a mid cold air, he ran, further and further to the dark park. He
always thinks that this way, he can forget about his sorrows, but he also knew
that this time, the problem is more complicated. It's about him, Ran, and Omi.
His teammates. His best and only friends that he still has.
His legs were running like crazy
until his feet were swollen. He stopped and panted, with no knowledge whether
the liquid that running down on his cheek and body were sweats or tears, he
didn't care anyway. He looked up to the dark sky and pale white moon again,
assured that he's long gone away to the deep side of the park and no one could
ever hear him even if he explode a bomb there, he screamed.
"DAMN YOU RAN FOR MAKING ME
LOVE THE HELL LOTS OF YOU!!!!!"
Like returning his scream, the
soft wind turns out to be a big growl wind, blowing Ken's hair and jacket
wildly, swallowing Ken in its blow. Ken liked it that way. He hoped the wind can
blow him up to the sky and he doesn't even care what the hell will happen to
him though.
Few minutes passed slowly, making
him to pant even more. The wind softly returns to its soft blow and made Ken to
feel like going home and onto his warm pillow. He sighed but obeyed on what the
wind had offer him. Walking back to the path where he got there, he smiled, a
small tiny painful smile.
"…I feel better…"
Ken walked back to his
apartment's room
--end part 4--
*Phew* finished that! Hmm,
strange, I thought Omi's in love with Yohji? Actually who does Omi in love
with? And how Ken can manage to cover his painful bleeding heart? For more about
this many, many angst questions… comments onegai? ^__^
Yohji: Omi!! How could you?!
Omi: Yohji-kun…I can't
explain right now, if I do, Yuu-chan's going to kill me
Ken: Hmph, anyhow Omi, that was
just your line right? *big pleading eyes*
Ran: Ken, stop it. Pleading only
works if you are Omi.
Yuu: I think Kenken's pleading
is kinda kawaii^^
Ken: *blushing* don't call me
Kenken!!!
