Chapter 4 - A Touchy Subject

It was 1pm when Touya made his way back up to bed which made Yue exactly ??? years and one hour old. Sleep had been delayed because he and the kaijuu had been trying to get the Sun Guardian to spill the details of his brother's age. Surprisingly Kero refused;

// "Yue's a little_touchy_ about his age, my life would be short and my death painful if a told you."

Touya persisted. "But we are talking three figures right?"

"Well duh!"

Sakura leaned forward suddenly. "Um Kero..how old are you?"

"Me? I'm- oh I see, very crafty. Nope you're not getting round me that easily." The siblings looked glum for a moment. "Suffice to say the candles are not going to fit one cake, or two..ooh! Can we have three cakes Sakura?"//

Touya paused outside his door, took a deep breath and then entered.

Yue had left the curtains and window open so the room was lit by moonlight and the Guardian himself was curled up facing the wall hopefully asleep.

With careful movements Touya unbuttoned his shirt until he was left wearing the underwear he slept in.

He crept very slowly on to the bed and under the covers. Yue did not stir so he breathed out in relief and relaxed against the pillows finally ready to sleep. His eyes drifted closed, -

"There is no way I'm wearing those pyjamas."

-flew open-

"I fully intend to burn them. I'm better off in the nude so stay over your side of the bed and we shouldn't have a problem." Yue's voice became muffled as he turned his face into the pillows. "'Night."

-and did not close again for a long time.

"Goodnight." he managed and listened enviously to the Guardian as he managed to find sleep.

*************************FLASHBACK- dream**************************

Clow was heavily sympathetic. "It's alright Yue, it happens to us all."

"Did it happen to you?" Yue glared at him.

"Well..no."

"To your parents?"

The mage clearly felt sickened by the idea. "Er...no."

"Your friends?"

"No."

"Have you ever known it to happen to a human?"

"Okay..maybe not exactly like this but we go through some crazy fazes."

"*This* is beyond crazy."

He smiled charmingly. "What's so wrong with you finding yourself hopelessly attracted to your devilishly handsome creator?"

Yue rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I'm going to get off you now."

"Please take your time, no hurry here"

**************************END FLASHBACK**************************

Yue shot forward in bed....Touya's bed..in his true form, his own body. He squinted slightly at the tanned shoulders of his bed partner on display to him. Touya had a nice body..very nice indeed..

With that coherent thought process out of the way the Guardian flopped back down back into a blessedly dreamless sleep.



The following morning was bright and cheerful, the sun shone benevolently, the birds chirped generously it was a time of picturesque scenery, calm reflection and bountiful giving-

"SHUT UP!"

..Yue was not a part of the postcard.

He yanked the covers viciously over his head and wriggled further down the mattress.

"Bloody racket, bloody sun, bloody morning, bloody twenty-first century, bloody Houdini false forms, bloody-"

"Yue!"

"What?" He growled through the quilt.

Touya scooted primly away from the submerged head. "Get your head out of there!"

"Why? I'm the one that's naked."

The youth looked pained for a moment but fortunately Yue was too buried to notice. "I haven't forgotten that Yue."

"So are you going to close the window or am I?"

"Only if you won't peak."

"Oh please! I've seen you naked loads of times. I'm there during every *study* session you and Yukito have."

Touya scowled then rolled over and turned his back on the creation. "Fine then, you'll just have to suffer the unforgivably happy birdsong of morning."

Yue reared back and took the covers with him. "NO! I'll do anything, anything!"

"I just want you to close your eyes." The dark haired human hissed as he scrambled for the protective corner of the quilt.

Yue nodded. "Okey-dokey."

"I mean it Yue."

"Righty-ho."

"Promise me."

The Guardian drew the solemn sign on his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."

After the creation dutifully squeezed his eyelids closed Touya slid warily from the warm bed and padded over to the window. As soon as he closed it the sounds Yue found so obnoxious disappeared and he turned back to the bed.

"You promised!"

Unabashed amethyst eyes travelled leisurely up his practically naked body until he was grinning into the furious face. If Touya hadn't been a little bit miffed he might have paused to dwell on the grin but as it was-

"How could you!?"

"Ha! I don't have a heart and I can't die!"

Touya scowled and crossed his arms unaware that the pose did wonders for his chest. "That was low Yue!"

The expression in the Guardian's eyes altered and his eyes glinted in the dimmed light of the room. Touya's mouth dropped open when he shifted off the bed and stalked towards him leaving the bedding behind.

"Yue!" He choked.

"Hmmm?" The Guardian was looking distractedly at his boxer-clad body.

"You're still naked."

Pencil fine eyebrows rose suggestively. "I'm sure you can *handle* it Touya." Somehow he managed to dodge the saucy gaze and instead looked down, unintentionally down over the Guardian's entire body.

He was just as slender as Yukito but surprisingly muscular..very muscular in fact. He looked determinedly to the side, a pink stain overriding the dark skin of his cheeks.

"Awww you're blushing!" Yue giggled delightedly and Touya turned crimson. "Would you like me to put some clothes on?"

Of course I don't! "Hell yes!"

"Do you really *really* want me to get dressed?"

"Yes!"

"It's gonna cost you."

"How much."

The reply was instantaneous. "Four hundred and thirty-seven."

"What!"

"Any less than that and I'll still have tangles, I'm telling you that's the minimum wage."

He'd just woken up and he was developing a headache. Touya concentrated on his breathing. "You're talking about brushing your hair right?"

Yue stared at him as though studying the path of dementia the human was 'clearly' suffering from. "It's the only currency I deal in Touya."

"Figures." He muttered but quickly found a pair of Yukito's jeans that he had to roll up at the ankle because they were too long and a hauled out one of his own shirts to accommodate the broad shoulders.

"There." Yanking a pair of jogging bottoms on and a t-shirt he turned his back while the Guardian changed and swore viciously when he had to explain the intricacies of one, the zipper and two, the socks. He did the zipper up himself which had him blushing all over again but the being refused to wear the socks. Touya didn't argue, I mean when you're faced with a deranged creature that has an arsenal of firepower literally at his fingertips you don't do you?

Combing the hair was actually not so bad. It calmed the Guardian instantly and Touya managed to match his breathing to the brush strokes..granted by brush stroke number three hundred and seventy-eight he was in an advanced state of meditation but that's the price you pay when your sister is the Card Mistress and your lover has a split personality..

The Guardian tested the length of his hair for tangles and found none. "Okay that'll do."

"Yes." Touya intoned blankly.

Yue waved his hand in front of the slack face. "I'm going downstairs now."

"Yes."

The being chuckled. "You're a big stupid lout aren't you?"

"Yes."

He considered briefly. "Go take a cold shower with your clothes on Touya."

"Yes." The drone replied and glided diligently towards the bathroom with Yue following him out of the room.

"I rule.." He frowned at the silence that greeted his announcement. "Don't I Touya!?"

"Yes." The answer drifted down the hall and Yue nodded with satisfaction and skipped down the stairs. Halfway down he spotted Fujitaka.

"You look great!" he cried and the man looked up from sipping his tea. He could only raise his eyebrows as the Guardian strode towards him and preceded to tidy his hair, straighten his tie and dust off his jacket shoulders. "Perfect." He declared with satisfaction and pulled out one of the table chairs in order to better appreciate his 'perfection'..

..A few minutes of avid attention and Fujitaka was getting uncomfortable. After looking everywhere but at the beaming Moon Guardian the man decided to speak.

"Um.I am-."

Yue rested his chin on his hand dreamily. "Very kawaii, I know."

"Uh."

"I don't see why Touya should get all the action, after all he got his looks from you and I have plenty of stamina

Fujitaka nearly spat his tea across the room and was in the process of thumping his chest when Clow deemed it time to intercede and erased the last few compliments from his mind.

"As entertaining as this is Angel I don't think Touya would appreciate you pursuing his father so-." He clicked his fingers pausing Yue in mid response to his presence, afterwards Yue would have no memory of why he had halted with his mouth open. Clow stared as the parted lips for a moment then at the cup and plate in front of him. Moving quickly he pushed both items in front of his creation then took a grape form the fruit bowl and popped it in his mouth.

"Now I think its time-." He sat back in his seat and clicked his fingers again.

Yue blinked and tried to focus on the words being spoken opposite him.

"-for me to be going." Fujitaka concluded.

Yue looked down at the table as the other man grabbed his jacket and briefcase, called a goodbye to his children and left the house.

His mouth fell open when he saw the dirtied crockery in front of him and in doing that he discovered it was already open so he closed it...and almost choked. With his eyes watering he removed the foreign body from his mouth and stared at it in horror.

"Holy Clow!"

"CHIKUSHO!" someone cursed from above his head. "The water's bloody freezing!" Touya yelled.

Yue's birthday celebrations had begun..
