A/N: I got the inspiration for this seemingly out of nowhere and hurried to write it before the inspiration fled. I hope you all like it. And yes, the POV is a bit odd, but just read it, okay?
This fic contains shounen-ai. Specifically, Takao/Max/Kyojyu and Rei/Kai. Yes, a threesome.
Mr. Daitenji's POV
Love Will Find A Way
I can still hear them. I wonder if they know that I listen to them and I know what is going on? If they knew, they would probably be embarrassed and stop, and I don't want them to. I enjoy having these little private shows. It helps me understand all of them so much better. When they don't think anyone is watching, they are able to be themselves, and so many precious emotions leak out in words, gestures, and facial expressions. I feel lucky to be able to witness them all - though secretly.
Kyojyu is staring out his window, looking forlorn. In the seat behind him, Max and Takao sit next to each other, having thumb-wrestling wars and giggling. I feel sorry for Kyojyu, having to listen to all of it. I have seen the looks he gives both Takao and Max. It must hurt to have to watch them flirt with each other instead of with him. I'm sure he hates feeling left out all of the time. I wonder if they know the pain they are causing him? Takao leans in to whisper something in Max's ear, making the boy blush and giggle again. Kyojyu slumps down farther in his seat.
On another seat, even further back, Rei stares intently at the back of a blue-haired head. He has been staring for quite a while now. He seems to be gathering the courage to do something. He mutters something to himself and his face transforms into a look of determination and courage - a more fitting look for the tiger-boy. He gets out of his seat and walks two rows until he is standing by the third.
Kai turns to look at him, sighs, and looks away again. Rei's expression wavers slightly but then returns full-force.
"Can I sit here?"
"I don't know, can you?" Kai asks sarcastically.
Rei doesn't answer, instead grabbing the back of Kai's seat and the back of the seat in front of it, swinging his legs over Kai's until he has made it over the boy and sitting down in the seat on Kai's left. Kai turns to look at him, his guarded facial expression giving way to a slight look of surprise.
"Apparently, I can," Rei says smartly.
Kai crosses his arms and looks away, trying to ignore the boy, but I catch the slight smile on his face.
Meanwhile, back with the threesome, Takao and Max have finished with the thumb-wrestling and are hanging over the back of Kyojyu's seat, chattering with him and laughing. Max has a hand on Kyojyu's shoulder and Takao has his face pressed up against the side of Kyojyu's, and I've never seen the red-haired boy looking so happy.
"Mr. Daitenji? What are you doing?"
I lower the mirror I was using to observe the boys in the seats behind me and give Mr. Mizuhara a bewildered look.
"Nothing?"
He gives me an odd look and shrugs, turning and staring out the window again.
I put the mirror away, deciding to give the boys a little privacy.
I wonder about how things will turn out between them. All of the unrequited love, the love triangles, and the multiple crushes and confusion between them will surely be resolved some day. I wish them luck in getting there somewhat unscathed.
What am I saying? They're the Bladebreakers.
All of the obstacles in the world could not deter them from obtaining what their hearts desire most.
Besides, love always finds a way.
