Chapter 4.
Manta walked down the street alongside Yoh as they held grocery bags filled to the top with junk food. Manta smiled as he watched the sun set in their path. The red and orange hues glowed on their faces as they neared home. The chilly air embraced their cheeks as colored leaves blew by. Manta adjusted his cream colored scarf and breathed deeply as they reached the door. Yoh opened it and sure enough Anna stood there. Manta closed his eyes hearing Anna speak he opened them watching the two embrace breifly. He looked up meeting her with a rather cold stare he quickly looked down at the floor and stepped in. The house was warm and comforting.
"Lets go to the living room." Yoh suggested resting the bags on the table.
"Sounds good" Manta nodded grabbing a bottle of melon soda.
" I'll be back at noon tomarrow, Yoh behave yourself and Manta pick up any mess the two of you make" Anna breathed slipping her sandles on.
"Heh uhh ok Anna, but where are you going?" Yoh laughed nervously.
" I'm meeting Horohoro's sister at a hotel, I'm going to stay there for the night" She replied closing the door.
"Bye Anna be careful" Yoh shouted as he heard the door slam.
" Thats odd. since when did Anna like sleepovers or any social gathering for that matter" Manta looked up at him confused.
" I dunno..heh its alright I guess besides now we have all this junk to ourselves!" Yoh grinned as he downed his orange soda
"Heh yea" Manta giggled.
~* I'm here all alone with Yoh...Anna's not here to yell at me and its just the two of us*~
Manta watched Yoh as his lips pressed themselves around the bottle of soda. His cheeks flushed pink as Yoh's eyes glanced over at him.
" Whats up?" Yoh asked after taking another gulp.
"It's nothing" Manta smiled his cheeks glowing even more.
Yoh grinned resting his back against a large red pillow. Manta breathed as he stared at his open shirt. How much he wished he could rest up against him. His chest burned as the image of Yoh and Anna kissing flashed in his mind. His stomach twisted up into a small knot as he squeezed his eyes shut.
" Hey I have this cool game for PS2 called Silent Hill 3 wanna play?" Yoh smiled
" whats that like?" Manta asked in curiousity
" Its scary" Yoh smiled again laughing a bit.
Manta's eyes bulged slighty " No thanks! I wanna get to bed sometime tonight."
Manta looked outside the moon shining bright hours had past and Yoh was fast asleep. They had talked about many things though Manta hadn't found the courage to ask Yoh about Anna it was one of their usuall sleepovers.
The moon shone brightly in the sky the shadows of the trees stretched across the grass as crickets chirped. The sky full of stars. Closing his eyes he layed there the cold air kissing his cheeks. His eyes half open. "Yoh-kun" He whispered his heart aching. Small flakes of snow landed on his nose.He sighed heavily as his chest rose and fell slowly back. It was only 12:00pm. It would be a while before sun rise.
" Yoh-kun...."
As it grew colder Manta drifted off into sleep and moments after he did it had almost felt as if hands lifted him up and brought him to a warm place then tucked him in. He slept peacefully his back feeling as if something were pressed against it.
