"Honda, leave him alone."
"But he's -- "
"He's my friend." Ryuuji stated protectively, wrapping his arms around Noa from behind and pulling the boy towards him. Noa blushed, smiling. 'I'm...his friend..?'
~~~~
Honda just stared, confused. He put a hand in his pocket before turning around as if he'd given up on the two of them. Before taking a breath, he spoke:
"Otogi, that boy can't be your friend. He's...evil..." Honda muttered in protest. Ryuuji glared daggers at him.
"How would you know?" He snapped, before releasing Noa from his small embrace and approaching the other boy. Noa pouted to himself slightly. Honda just shook his head. Ryuuji fought back the urge to hit the other boy. He didn't quite understand it, but it angered him that Honda spoke like that about Noa.
Noa had to silence himself from trying to stop them from getting into a fight. Ryuuji just tried to calm himself, before putting his hands back down from their position and chuckling to himself in an odd sort of way.
"Honda," Ryuuji started. "just go away. Go and find Shizukachan." He said. Honda just gave him an utterly concerned look. "I don't care about you anymore, damn it! Just go the hell away!" He cried, before turning his back to Honda.
Honda stared at Ryuuji's back in silence. After a couple moments, he muttered, "Otogi.." Ryuuji said nothing. So Honda turned, but not before muttering, "That kid has you under some sort of spell, Otogi." And he rounded the corner. Ryuuji paused in thought. Noa laughed silently to himself.
~ No, I'm sorry 'Honda'. My brainwashing skills work different magic then what I think Ryuuji's feeling...~
Ryuuji kneeled back down to be at Noa's level before hugging him lightly. The aqua haired boy blushed deeply, before giggling nervously and returning the hug clumsily.
Ryuuji stood back up, smiling brightly. Noa just sat with a kind of dazed expression before shaking his head lightly.
"Why did you defend me like that, Ryuuji?" He asked as innocently as possible. He knew, deep down, but wanted to hear Ryuuji say something about it. The black haired boy shrugged slightly.
"I'm not sure.." He said. "I feel a strange connection to you, I guess. I got mad at him for saying bad things about you." Noa smiled, but then his smile faded as he took it in, and he turned his head away ashamedly. Ryuuji gave him a confused look, before sitting on the floor once more. "Is something wrong?" He inquired.
Noa nodded slightly. "It's just...I did mean things to you and the others...I trapped you here. So... Honda was right in saying such things.." Ryuuji's eyebrows furrowed and he reached up for one of Noa's hands to pull him into his lap.
"Hush." He told the smaller boy, running a hand through his hair. Noa felt a twinge of his stomach fluttering at Ryuuji's doing so. He blushed again. Ryuuji continued, "I'm not angry with you for that. And I'm sure Yuugi'd understand if you explained it to him. Now Seto....he's going to want you dead for the rest of his life." Noa chuckled at that, before turning around so his face was closer to Ryuuji's.
"Your eyes are beautiful," Noa muttered, in a small trance. Ryuuji felt his cheeks get warm.
"As are yours," The black haired boy replied softly. He smiled, before taking a small breath. "Noachan?" He asked.
Noa cocked his head to one side, responding with, "Yes?"
Ryuuji's question was barely a whisper. "Can I...kiss you?" He asked. A feeling of nervousness overwhelmed him and he mentally smacked himself for such a stupid question. Noa's blush deepened further. He smiled.
"Of course.."
