~ Chapter Two ~
The bus ride had so far been spent in an uncomfortable silence and Hiro had no clue on what to say. He was usually quite... flirty as his sister liked to put it but he didn't seem to know what to say to Megumi. He knew he wanted to be friends with him though and not just because he looked like an angel.
'An angel in disguise.' Hiro thought as he glanced toward Megumi.
They were both sitting next to eachother on the eerily silent and empty bus. They could hear the rain hitting the sides of the bus, the streets, and no doubt other cars on the road.
Hiro looked at Megumi more closely when he closed his eyes, seemingly looking tired and wanting to fall asleep. He had rather pale peach-like skin and was clearly acne-free rare as that was these days. His waist seemed to be rather skinny but not unhealthily so, like himself. Also Megumi did have dark, short hair but it was wavy too and looked like silk.
'Wild silk-hair on a rampage.' Hiro thought and couldn't suppress a chuckle, startling Megumi into opening his eyes and looking up at him.
"Hiro-san...? What are you doing?" Megumi's eyes were indeed a dark, piercing shade of blue and Hiro found himself staring into them but when Megumi asked again, "Hiro... san? What... are you--?" He smiled and interrupted the question, "You're beautiful, Megumi-san..."
***
Megumi's eyes widened and his cheeks took on a very, very light shade of pink that you could hardly even tell was there.
"I... You..." Megumi stuttered and unconsciously leaned farther back in the bus seat.
"What?" Hiro kept himself from grinning at Megumi's reaction and leaned down closer to him, hovering over him almost.
"You... I..." He kept stuttering as Hiro got even closer every time he instinctively moved farther away, or in this case, leaned down to get away which clearly wasn't working.
"I guess... Thanks..." He finally got a response out and he saw the smirk grow on Hiro's lips.
Hiro leaned down and was mere centimeters away from Megumi's lips when he was startled out of his trance.
"So is this the stop?" A voice from the front of bus called out and Hiro instinctively snapped his head up. He saw a flash of relief cross Megumi's features and then it seemed disappointment as well. Disappointment was always good in a situation like this.
He blinked twice and opened his mouth like a fish, only he actually responded, "Yes. Thank-you."
Megumi and Hiro both shuffled their way to the front of the bus and got off, bidding the driver good bye.
"You two take care now. Wouldn't want our cutest young couple of the day, or night rather, to go missing now would we?" With that the driver drove off, leaving Soichiro there with his eyebrows raised.
"Okay... That driver... was strange..." Megumi said still staring after the bus, but not opening and closing his mouth like a fish. Hiro, however, was doing precisely that... again.
'Cou... coup... couple! What the hell was he talking about!? Is he blind! We just met...! Then again...' He looked over at Megumi and met his eyes for a moment, 'maybe it wouldn't be all that bad.'
"Uhh... The store is this way... so... umm... follow me!" Hiro said, making a plausible excuse for looking at Megumi like that.
He started walking strait forward and Megumi walked up next him quite quickly.
"So... What school do you go to?" Megumi asked, making conversation.
"Iridescent High. You?" Hiro replied still staring strait forward.
"Same." Megumi said but shortly added, "Today was my first day actually."
"Really? So... You must be the new guy my sister wouldn't shut up about." Hiro turned and grinned as Megumi began to blush.
"I... I think that might be possible... A lot of people were making a big deal over me for some reason..." He blushed even more.
Hiro's grin faded as he saw the blush... 'An angel.' was the only thing registering in his mind... Was it his imagination or did he use the word, "angel" a lot more around Megumi than normal?
"Hey, we're here."
Hiro looked up and saw the grocery store. His face slightly brightened and ran for the building right after saying, "Beat ya' to it, Mr. Every-Girl-In- School-Is-In-Love-With-You." He laughed out loud while running.
Megumi had just started running right along next to him and as soon as they crossed the street, Hiro stopped.
"How'd you catch up with me so fast." Hiro was shortly catching his breath, making a mental note to never run after dark, while it was snowing. Hatori was going to kill him as it was already.
He could tell that he was going to need a check-up tomorrow. He was cold, almost too cold, like his blood was getting cold.
"You call that fast?" Megumi looked at him with a slightly surprised look, as if he had actually been going really slow.
"Well yeah... Wait. What do you mean by that?" Hiro said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Nothing... nothing... Don't worry about it." He said as he walked into the grocery store. Hiro followed, still pouting.
Megumi went straight to the dairy section and got some eggs.
"You needed eggs? That was it?" Hiro asked, cocking his head to the side as Megumi bought them at the register. The woman there looked around 40 – 50 years old and said, "Well... If you two aren't the cutest youngsters I've seen in a while. Wow... I didn't know kids you're age could still look so cute."
They got off at the bus stop from earlier and began walking together in the direction Megumi had come from.
"So you know my sister?" Hiro asked looking at Megumi.
"I guess. What's her name? Or, better yet, What's she look like?"
"Hmm... Name's Sohma Kisa. She's adorable! She's got hair like mine, skin like mine, body structure like mine... well, maybe not as skinny but hey, that's a good thing." "You're complimenting her a lot. You must like her." Megumi said looking at him curiously. Hiro just shrugged, "I only compliment her looks. She's cute. She has to be though, sense she's my twin sister."
"Oh... And to think, I didn't think you two were twins. She IS cute though." Hiro furrowed his eyebrows together.
"That was an insult I know it... But how?" Hiro racked his brain and then suddenly stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.
"You're really rude ya' know that?" Hiro told Megumi.
Hiro turned and saw Megumi smiling and stared for a moment... Right until he walked into a lamppost that is.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurt! Megumi-san! Cut it out! It's not funny!" Megumi had begun laughing and Hiro was probably red as the world's reddest tomato...
Hiro was sitting on the ground hands holding him up from behind him and he looked up to see Megumi stop laughing and look down and show the worry that was etched on his face. He was right next to all the pretty butterflies flying around in front of him.
The last thing he heard was "Hiro-san?" and all went black.
