Chapter 8: Confused
Seiya sighed as he headed over to Kakyuu's house. Maybe she knew what was wrong with Yaten... or she could at least help him out... hopefully get rid of all the worries he had. Seiya couldn't seem to shake the feeling that something had happened to Yaten. In fact, he knew something was wrong. Seiya stopped walking for a minute. Maybe he was just imagining all of this. Maybe, he was focused way too much on Yaten and was making something huge out of nothing. Maybe he was just over-reacting a bit too much. Could that be it? Maybe something really was wrong... Seiya sighed again as he recalled the events in his head. It had taken Yaten a really long time to answer the door. He did look like he was in some sort of pain... due the fact that he was shaking wildly. Was he scared? Of what though? He had also shoved Seiya out the door pretty quickly. And he never did tell Seiya the reason of 'why' he wasn't at school.
Seiya finally arrived at Kakyuu's house and ran a shaky hand through his hair. Hopefully Kakyuu would know how to help him. He knocked on the door twice and shortly after, Kakyuu's smiling face greeted him.
"Hey Seiya. Long time no see! What's up?"
"Can I- can I come in?" Seiya tried his best not to give off a worried look, but his voice came out shaky, causing Kakyuu's smile to drop and a concerned look to fill her eyes.
"Sure, of course." Kakyuu stepped aside to let Seiya in. Seiya immediately went into her living room and sat down, only to see Chibi Chibi's smiling face pop up.
"Chibi chibi!" Chibi Chibi jumped up on Seiya's lap and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Seiya!" She wrapped her tiny arms around Seiya's arm and snuggled up to him.
"Hey there Chibi." Seiya smiled down at the red-head. Kakyuu came into the living room then with a bowl full of chips and two drinks; ice tea.
"Chibi, hun, do you think you could go into another room for a little while? Seiya and I need to talk." Chibi Chibi looked up at Kakyuu and pouted a bit, but got up anyway and headed into another room. Kakyuu giggled some. "Ain't she cute?" Seiya nodded and smiled a bit. "Anyway, what's wrong Seiya?"
"You'll probably find it stupid... but I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. It's.. it's about Yaten." Kakyuu nodded her head and motioned for Seiya to go on. "Well, he wasn't at school today, and normally I wouldn't care. Much less notice. But, I dunno... something just told be that something wasn't right. So," Seiya swiped at the tears forming in his eyes. He had no clue why this was making him so emotional. Normally he wouldn't cry in front of anyone. "I went over to his house after school, ya know, just to make sure he was all right. But... when I went there... well..." He broke off and wiped his eyes again.
"Go ahead Seiya. It's all right if you cry. I won't tell anybody." Kakyuu handed Seiya a tissue and he mumbled a little thankyou. "Anyway, when you went there."
"When I went there, he seemed to have taken a while to get to the door, which isn't really a big deal, but when he got to the door... well, he was shaking uncontrollably, and I don't think he even noticed it until I had pointed it out to him. He was also very pale... well, paler than he usually is. And when I asked him if he was all right, he just rushed me out of the door and said he was fine. But I don't think... no... I just know he wasn't fine."
"Maybe he was busy or something."
"The house appeared to be kinda empty... at least from what I saw. Plus it was kinda quiet as well."
"Maybe he was grounded and wasn't allowed at the door." Kakyuu looked over at Seiya to see him nod his head approvingly. "Perhaps he was shaking because maybe he got into a fight with his mom or dad or something. Shaking from anger, you know what I mean?"
Seiya nodded his head. "You're probably right. I'm just making this into a bigger thing than it really is. Yeah, just over exaggerating." Seiya said this more to himself, trying to convince himself that Yaten was all right.
"What did you think it could be?"
"To tell you the truth, I have no clue." Seiya smiled at Kakyuu. "But thanks, you really did help. Guess I gotta try and be more realistic."
Kakyuu smiled back at Seiya. "Well, I'm glad to be of help. If you ever need anymore, just come over." Seiya got up and headed towards the door. He thanked Kakyuu and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yaten? Yaten?" Yaten opened his eyes and blinked some to clear his vision. He saw his mother holding out the phone to him. "You have a phone call."
"Who is it?"
"I think its Seiya." Herena threw Yaten a wink when she said that.
Yaten groaned inwardly. "Could you tell him that I'm not here?"
"Too late hun, I already told him that you were here." Herena tossed the hone on Yaten's bed and left.
Yaten sighed. No getting out of it now. 'Damn her!' "Hello?" He tried not to sound irritated, but didn't cover it up too well.
"Hey, Yaten... It's Seiya."
"I know."
"Oh...ok. Well, how are you?" Seiya still thought that something was wrong with Yaten, so he wanted to double check. Just to make sure nothing really was wrong with him. "Are you felling better?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about earlier, if I freaked you out or something. I was just kinda stressed. Plus I was running a fever. I'm all right though."
"Ok good. I was getting a little worried. So..."
"So... so what?"
"Um, have you thought about going to the dance with me on Friday? It doesn't have to be a date or anything. Just you know. Hang out thing. Andy and Ryan are going. I think Kakyuu is too."
"I'm not really a 'dance' person. I don't like those sort of things. Sorry."
"Oh, that's all right. Um, so do you want to do anything on Friday?" Seiya silently pleaded on the other end of the line that he would say yes.
"I don't know. Maybe." There was a long silence then and Yaten considered just telling him he had to go and hang up. He really did not want to talk to anybody.
"All right. That's cool. So, will I see you at school tomorrow?"
"Maybe."
"Ok. Well, I have to go now. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
Yaten almost jumped for joy when Seiya said he had to go. "All right. See ya."
"See ya." Yaten laid back down on his bed. Should he go to that dance on Friday? It would get him out of the house for a few hours. But... he really did hate social events. Yaten decided to sleep it off and whenever Friday rolled around he would make his decision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Andy groaned as he rolled over in his bed and picked up the phone. "Yeah?"
"Hey Andy, its Ryan. Am I calling too late?*"
"No," Andy glanced at the clock. 12:45. "Not at all. What's up?"
"Nothing really... I just couldn't sleep, so I figured I would call you. Did I wake you?"
Andy yawned. "Nope."
"Liar."
"I was just about to doze off. So, there's more to it. Why did you really call me?" Andy awaited Ryan's answer, but only heard silence. "C'mon Ryan, I know there's something else."
"Yeah well... Seiya seemed a bit distant today... did you realize that?"
"Yeah. And?"
"I dunno, I'm just a bit worried about him. I think he's getting in a bit over his head with Yaten. There's still something I don't like about him. Do you think Seiya feels pressured to get a boyfriend before Friday and that's why he seems to.. uh, be kind of... obsessed with Yaten?"
Andy was silent for a bit, taking in what Ryan had said. "Do you think he's obsessed with Yaten? Or does he really like him?"
"He hardly knows him. I mean we just met him."
"So, do you think he's obsessed?"
"Yeah, kinda."
"Well," Andy let out a yawn before continuing. "I'll talk to him tomorrow. just to see what's going on. All right?"
"Okay. Thanks.. and sorry."
"It's ok, but if I can't fall back asleep, well, lets just hope you watch your back tomorrow." Andy smiled into the phone and could tell Ryan was smiling too. "All right, see you tomorrow."
"All right, goodnight. Love you."
"Love you too, night." With that Andy hung up the phone as turned over to go back to sleep.
