Usual disclaimers apply. Not mine, if they were I would be a lot better off…
Warnings: who knows, I have no idea where this will go or even what I'm going, but it's safe to say there will be shounen ai, probably yaoi, possible lemons, dirty language, maybe violence. I CAN promise no character death, that's it
Day 8: Free Write Again (HE'S BACK!!!!!!)
It's another free write day, but this time I actually have something to do. We haven't had to write for the last week, we were on break. MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK!!!!!! I'm so happy. I haven't been happy in… well in forever. I wasn't sure if he'd ever come back. And even if he did, I wasn't certain he would still want to see me. I mean, the first time we met we weren't friends, we were enemies. He dropped in on me in that computer room. I still can't believe we helped each other out. If we had met in a fight, we would have tried to kill each other. We have tried to kill each other, several times. I'm really trying not to give him away… but I suppose it is a moot point now. Brad knows about us. He's… less than pleased. But I'm trying to keep everything discreet at least. I really tried to keep it a secret for a little longer, but we got found out… I'll get into that later.
I don't know why, but there's this bond between Omi and me. I saw him one night at the park. I like to go wandering at night sometimes. I'm more comfortable being out in the night… holdover from my misspent youth. So I was walking around and I saw him leaning against the rail looking out at the water. The weather was really weird, a snowstorm had blown in and the snow was falling really fast in those big, fluffy flakes that drift down, drowning out sound and making everything orange cause of the way they diffuse the light from the streetlamps. So I saw him standing there. He looked… I don't know… lost? Depressed? Lonely? Reminded me too much of myself. So I kinda went over and stood there waiting for him to notice me. Which he did really quick, he's not an assassin for nothing. We talked and then… he kissed me. Not that I minded, at all. It just… surprised me. And he held me. I don't usually let people touch me… but Omi's different. I knew he wouldn't hurt me, not then. But it still unnerved me. I admit I was a bit of a coward, I ran. Not literally, but figuratively, I ran back home. And got a lecture from Brad for not leaving a note telling where I was. Schu knew I was hiding something, but I wouldn't let him in to see. It really pisses him off when I do that. Usually I don't really care if he goes rummaging around in my head… that's just Schu. But Omi was the enemy.
We started to email and IM a couple days later. It was great! We could communicate without anyone figuring out what we were doing, provided our SN's stayed between us. But then the whole business with Esset went down and before we knew it, Omi was in Kyoto. We stayed in touch as best we could of course, but it wasn't quite the same. But he's back now!!!! Something happened. He told me about it… showed me the healing cuts he got from Youji's wire. It must have been a mess. But at least he's okay. He contacted me a couple weeks ago. That's how we set it up to meet again. At the park of course. That's our 'meeting place'. That way we can pretend the other doesn't know where we live and can't therefore be branded traitors… sort of… So we met there and ended up talking for hours, catching up. Since Bavol died, I haven't had anyone close to my age to really talk to. I'm not normally really chatty, but Omi has a way of bringing it out of me. Maybe because, he can really listen too.
It's not too often someone will just listen. Schu will on occasion, if he's trying to drag things out of me. He and Omi both have this uncanny ability to know when things are bothering me. Omi tends to be a little more physical in his attempts to pull me out of my shell. He a big one for physical contact, especially hugs. No one's really hugged me before. Schu does if I'm really upset or freaking out. But he doesn't do it just to do it. Omi does. It seems like he's the one who always initiates things between us, and I suppose in some ways that's true. I've never dated before. The only other one I've ever kissed was Tot, and that wasn't exactly graceful. Omi's really sweet about it. He doesn't try to rush me or take things beyond the level I'm comfortable with. For which I am profoundly grateful. Just to let him in close enough to hold my hand is a greater level of trust than I've given anyone other than Schu. It's not just that I'm shy; I'm trying to overcome years worth of conditioning. Touch meant pain. Touch meant someone got close enough to hurt me. Touch was something I couldn't allow. Omi understands that.
He's so good to me. He's trying to get this weekend off so we can do something. Brad's gonna be out of town on business. Oh, I mentioned that he knows about Omi now… Hindsight is always 20/20. We should have been more careful I suppose. Omi and I had set things up to meet after he got back. We started out at the park of course. Then Omi insisted we get out of the weather, it was really cold and I haven't been feeling well lately anyways. Of course I get sick while on break… happens every time. So we went to this cute café around the corner. It's one of our favorite places to 'hang out'. Neither one of us likes coffee all that much, but they have really good hot chocolate. I didn't even know Brad likes those types of places. Omi and I are curled up on one of the couches, chatting with a couple of Omi's old school buddies (well he was chatting, I was snuggling, I get cold easy and Omi's always warm), when Brad and Schu walked in. Of course we were facing the door and they saw us. I though I was going to die. I wanted to die, right then and there and spare Brad the trouble of shooting me later. Cause that's what I was sure was going to happen.
Schu was shocked. He really wasn't expecting us to be there. If he'd known, I think he would have insisted they go somewhere else and spared me the humiliation of being outted in public. Brad just looks at me, all curled up with who is OBVIOUSLY my boyfriend (since Omi's arm was around me and I was practically draped across his hip), and just happens to be one of our enemies. *sigh* Not one of my luckiest days. He didn't say anything, his glasses flashed and he turned on his heel and walked out. Schu gave me this apologetic look and followed him. Omi thought I should leave to and try to talk with them… by my teammate/family isn't as understanding as his is. I decided, since it was my last day on Earth I was going to enjoy it and I finished my date! It was MY free time dammit! I wasn't going to abandon our first real date in forever to try to explain myself to Brad.
By the time I got home, Brad was gone. Apparently he had to make an emergency trip for something Schwarz related. I don't know when he'll be back. I'm sure when he does I'm in for it. But for now… I'm going to enjoy the reprieve. Omi's concerned of course. I think Brad's main problem is that he's worried that I'm gonna get hurt. He can't admit that he cares for me. It's just not his way. He has to be the 'leader'. For some reason he seems to think that means he can't be close to us. I know he's concerned. But I really love Omi. I know he wouldn't do anything to hurt me intentionally. Just like I couldn't hurt him. But I don't want to disappoint Brad either. Somehow… I'll figure out how to make this work. I know we will. Right now… I'm just happy Omi's back. -Nagi
