Chapter 20
Yoh grinned as he sat on the couch. He wondered what sort of food Ren had in his fridge. Maybe he'd make some heaping bowls of sticky rice. Yoh licked his lips as he looked around the small appartment. Manta sighed as he peeked through the doorway. Yoh had not noticed him yet. Ren walked out of his room drying his hair a bit more.
" Have what you like..." Ren's eyes looked directly into Yoh's.
Yoh grinned crossing his arms "Sankyuu!!"
Ren shot his glance over to Manta and smiled. Manta shivered. *~ That was an odd smile*~ He squeezed his eyes shut as he felt a chill go down his spine." Y..Yoh..Kun" Manta let out a soft squeek that was barely heard. Yoh's ear twitched but his attention was soon turned back to Ren.
" Kisama..." Ren looked over at Manta.
" Hm?" Yoh looked at him confused. " Its nothing" Ren smiled quickly pressing his arms inbetween Yoh, his face facing his.
" Ah?? Ren-San? What are you...?" Yoh looked at him.
" I.. think Manta-chan...would best suit you...even if...I..." He snarled a bit then walked towards the bathroom flinging open the door.
" Ren-san...." Yoh looked at him bewildered.
" I don't hate Manta-chan but I am certainly jealous of the twerp..." His golden eyes flickered.
" Ren-san...you did this for us? You care about me that much..." Yoh stood up shakily.
Ren turned around " Ah..." He nodded a bit " It doesn't matter...good night You can both sleep in Jun's old room..eat what you want.." Ren replied sounding hurt but forcing a strong tone to his voice. Yoh walked to Ren slowly taking him into his arms from behind.
" Yoh-kun!" Manta cringed at this sight.
" Arigatou..Ren-san.." Yoh whispered letting go of him. Ren blushed furiously as he staggered into his room.
Yoh's eyes watered as he looked down at the small figure before him. " Manta -chan..." He whispered kneeling down to his level.
" Yoh-kun...I thought that...I thought..." Manta cryed softly.
" I would never stop being your best friend...even if Anna told otherwise..." Yoh smiled whiping away his tears. Manta smiled weakly.
*~ being friends was better than nothing at all..~*
Yoh stood up. " Ready for bed?" He asked picking him up and carrying him like a pillow.
" Y...Yoh-kun!!" Manta blushed trying to look up at him. He squirmed a bit his face puffing up as Yoh laughed at him.
Yoh looked back at Ren's room smiling. "You really are my friend" He whispered.
" Manta-chan...when the time's right...I think we should talk...its important" Yoh said seriously in a gentle tone.
" O...ok..." Manta blushed his hopes rising
Ren burried his face into his pillow, and fell asleep with a soaked pillowcase.....
