Tomoki: Poor Kouji... Takuya is making him do weird stuff.
Yeah! But I'm sure he likes it! One bit of advice: when you burn yourself, let's say your finger, put it under cold water, but never, ever put in in your mouth! Trust me.
Alone with a freak
Part 3
Kouji figured Takuya was probably hungry now, since he didn't eat much at lunch. The sick boy was now sound asleep, so Kouji thought it was okay to leave him alone for a little while, while he went to the kitchen to fix something for him. It felt awkward to mess around in somebody else's kitchen, but since no one was here...
The boy came back upstairs carrying a bowl of soup on a tray. Thank God, Takuya was still in his bed when he came back. He appeared to be sleeping some more. Kouji just looked at him for a while. He's actually cute when he's sleeping. And quiet. Emphasis on quiet. Well, he had to eat now, so Kouji managed to hold the tray with just one hand while he softly shook Takuya with the other.
" Hey. Wake up. Hey."
The sick boy didn't wake up. Kouji shook him a little harder.
" Takuya! Wake up! Hey!"
But Takuya still didn't open his eyes.
The other boy was getting a little worried. What if he's dead or something?? He shook him again, much harder.
" I DIDN"T DO IT!!!" The brunette exclaimed as he woke up all of a sudden, throwing his arms in the air in the process.
By doing so, he sent the tray with the soup flying, and everything fell on Kouji's shirt.
" AAH! HOT! HOT! HOT!" Kouji screamed as the soup burned his body.
Tears in his eyes, he took off his shirt as fast as he could. His chest was all red.
" Ooh! Ice cream!" The delirious boy grabbed Kouji and licked his bare chest.
" AAAH! IT BURNS!!!" Kouji pushed Takuya and hit his head. " You idiot!"
Forgeting everything that just happened, Takuya stared at Kouji with big round eyes. The healthy boy knew that meant Takuya was about to do something weird again.
Takuya put his hand Kouji's stomac in admiration. " I'm really becoming a big brother, mommy? You'll name him Shinya, right?"
Kouji hit Takuya's head again. " I'm not your mom! And I'm not pregnant!"
" Mommy! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" the boy started crying.
Kouji felt bad. " It's okay, Takuya. I'm not mad." He stroked his friend's hair.
Takuya smiled and hugged Kouji. " I love you mommy!"
Kouji sighed. " I told you, I'm not your mother!"
" Mommy!"
" Did you hear what I just said??"
" Sure I did."
" Repeat what I just said."
" You said: " I love you, because I'm your mother."
Kouji was so desperate he felt like crying. " Why me? Why??"
He took another shirt in Takuya's drawer and put it on. Now he had to clean all the soup that had fallen on the floor. So he went to take the mop again. Ugh. While he cleaned the mess, Takuya was watching him from his bed and saying all kind of stupid things.
" Mom, why is the sky blue?"
" Because I said so."
" Mom, is the moon made of cheese?"
" Of course. What do you think the aliens eat?"
" Mom, do unicorns exist?"
" Will you stop it with your stupid questions, Takuya? Can't you see I'm busy cleaning your mess? So shut up now."
" Mom?"
Kouji sighed. " What?"
" Who do you love more, me or Shinya?"
Kouji grinned. " Why, Shinya of course."
" Oh...you're mean, mommy." Takuya was about to cry again.
" Come on. I was kidding. I love you both equally." Kouji was surprised he actually said that.
" Mom, what do you think of my friend Kouji?"
Kouji stopped. " Err... he's a real nice boy. I like him a lot. So if you want to spend more time with him, I won't mind at all..." The twin decided to play along. " And you, Takuya? How do you feel about him? You can tell me, I'm your mother after all."
" Err...well...it's a secret!" Takuya hid his head under the pillow.
Kouji blushed. " Is that so?" He finished cleaning the mess and changed Takuya's towel. " Hey, get your head out of there, I've got a nice cold towel for you."
Takuya did so and smiled like a kitten as Kouji put on a fresh towel on his forehead. The black haired boy couldn't help but blush. Takuya was so cute right now! Maybe taking care of him wasn't so bad after all.
" Aah! Dinosaurs are trying to eat meeeeeeeeeeeee!!"
Spoke too soon... Kouji reached in his pocket.
" If you do not answer this time, you're not my brother anymore!"
And he composed Kouichi's number for God knows how many times today.
.
Meanwhile, at the detention room.
Dring! Dring! The cellphone's sound ringed through the classroom.
" Dammit! Does that guy ever quit?" The teacher said, quite tired of hearing the annoying sound.
" Sensei, please! Let me get that!" Kouichi cried, still sitting in his desk.
" I can't break the rules for anyone, Mister Kimura.
" Ok, then take the call for me!"
" Um, I suppose I can do that." The teacher picked up the phone. " Hello, this is Shindo talking. Yes?...oh... I see. That's ok." He hanged up.
" So? What did he say? What did he say?" Kouichi asked, worried.
" He said: 'Err, I'm sorry. I think I got the wrong number."
Kouichi slammed his head on the desk...
.
Kouji held his phone in disbelief.
" I'm sure I called the correct number. How come an old guy replied instead of Kouichi?"
He returned to Takuya's bed side. The poor guy was sweating again, even though Kouji convinced him that there were no dinosaurs in his room.
" Hey, there you are!" Takuya called.
" Do you remember who I am now?"
" Sure I do."
" Good!" Kouji sighed.
" You're my uncle from Kyoto."
Kouji felt like choking him. " No I'm not!"
" What brings you here, uncle?"
The exasperated boy hit Takuya on the head once more. " I am NOT your uncle, nor your mother or father. In fact, I'm not a member of your family. I'm your friend, remember?"
" You're so violent today, Junpei!"
Kouji blinked and hit him on the head again.
" Tomoki! What's with you?"
We're getting there... He hit him again.
" Damn you, Izumi! It was an accident, I tell you!"
Another hit.
" Kouichi! Why?"
We're almost there! One more hit.
" What's your problem, Kouichi?"
Kouji sighed. That's close enough.
