I am so so sorry for not updating this sooner. The problem was that, I
wasn't sure if I could finish it. I've been so very busy lately, plus my
love for Seiya/Yaten seemed to have been fading. Just because I'm into
other things now. But then I thought of the few people that I could
possibly disappoint by not finishing the story. So, here you go guys! ^.^
Please enjoy it.

Chapter 10: Suspicion Aroused
"Well, it's nice to see you again Yaten." Hohiko looked at Yaten from across the table. "How's your arm?"
"Much better thankyou."
"It healed already?" Yaten shifted in his seat. He would feel bad lying to Seiya's dad, after all the help he had given him... but he didn't want to put that stupid sling back on. And there would be a chance that he might call his parents.
Seiya saw Yaten's nervousness and thankfully cut in. "You must have over- looked it dad, Yaten's arm was just sprained."
"Oh alright. Well that's good, huh Yaten?"
"Yes." Yaten continued to eat his food, which had turned out to be pizza that Seiya's mother had ordered. The rest of the evening was Seiya and his parents joking around. Yaten threw a comment in every so often, but his mind wasn't too focused on what they were all talking about. Instead, he was wondering how he could possibly stay away from home longer, without making it look susupicious. He dreaded going home because he knew exactly what was going to happen. Yaten glanced at the clock. 7:45. Although, it could be worse this time because he didn't even bother to call his dad and tell him where he was going. Well, he pretty much had been lying all day, so continuing couldn't possibly hurt anyone. Except himself.
"Yaten?" Yaten looked over for Seiya who had just called his name for the 5th time. "Are you alright?" Yaten glanced across the table and noticed Seiya's parents staring at him. He became nervous, but now he could set his plan into action.
"Not really. Do you think I could call my parents?"
"Sure." Seiya got up to give Yaten the phone and told him he could talk in the hallway if he wanted some privacy. Yaten agreed to go talk in the hallway and just pushed random buttons to make it look like he was dialing a number. He turned the phone off before the fake number went through and put the phone to his ear. After what Yaten assumed was around 3 minutes, he 'hung up' and proceeded in putting a worried look on his face. He hung up the phone when he entered he kitchen, but didn't sit down. Seiya looked up when Yaten entered. "What's wrong?" Yaten just shook his head, but gripped onto the wall next to him. Seiya rose from his chair and ushered Yaten into the hallway, with his confused parents left at the table. "Are you alright?"
Yaten took a shaky breath, to make it seem like he was about to cry. "No."
"What happened?"
"Well," Yaten sniffed a little, which sounded totally fake, but Seiya didn't seem to notice. "I called my house. As you know. And.." Yaten trailed off to give his plan a more dramatic look.
Seiya put his hand on Yaten's shoulder and felt the smaller boy flinch like he had earlier today when Seiya had grabbed his hand. He found it strange that Yaten did this, but tossed it aside. "It's alright. Take your time."
Yaten waited a while before answering. "My mother said... she was telling me that. That my dad had a heart-attack." Yaten stopped and hoped he wasn't over doing it. Seiya just gave him a sympathetic look. "She said that she had to stay with him all night. She wanted me to just go home... said she would be home in the morning.. but. I don't know."
"Do you want to stay here?"
Yaten's eyes flashed. He should win an oscar for this. "No no, your parents wouldn't-"
"Mind at all. I'll go ask them. I'm sure they will let you stay. Why don't you just go up to my room and I'll go talk to them."
"Thankyou."
"No problem. I'll be back in a sec." Yaten nodded and made his way to Seiya's room. That went perfectly. Now, he didn't have to go back home and hopefully Seiya's parents wouldn't question the situation. Yaten thought his plan through once more in his head. But stopped when he noticed a flaw. What if Seiya's parents decided to look into it. To make sure his parents were ok. Yaten shook his head. No, his plan was fine. And that's all he needed to know.
-----------------------------------------
Seiya entered the kitchen again, to where his mother was cleaning the dishes. "Hey honey. Is Yaten alright?" Seiya shook his head and went over the story with his mother. Her eyes went wide when he told her that his father had had a heart-attack. "Of course he can stay. He can stay as long as he wants."
"Thankyou so much mom. I'm sure he'll appreciate it." Seiya gave his mother a hug and headed back to his room. He found Yaten sitting on his bed. "Hey." Yaten turned when Seiya came in. "You alright?"
"Yeah. What did your mom say?"
Seiya smiled. "She said you could stay as long as you want." Seiya glanced over at his clock 8:50. "My mom never usually sets a bedtime, so we can stay up until whenever. Just as long as we get up for school. I don't think she'll mind if you wanted to stay home tomorrow though."
"Nah. I'll go to school."
"Alright then. So, hey why don't why get to know eachother a little better. We've hung out since you first transfered to my school, but I really don't know all the much about you." Yaten nodded. "Do you want to start or...?"
"I'll start if you want." Yaten thought for a bit. "Well, as you know, I transfered here from Tokyo. I wasn't born there though. I was actually born in the United States, but moved to Japan when I was like.. 2 I think. Since then, I moved around a lot. I usually stay in one place for about a maximum of a month."
"Do you think your going to move again from here?"
"I might. I'm not sure though. It's not really up to me."
Seiya nodded his head in understandment. "True. Anyway, go on."
"Gosh.. I can't really think of anything to talk about. Um.. hobbies? I don't really have very many. I guess I like reading and drawing a bit. I actually have a very boring life, which makes me a pretty boring person." Yaten shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't think your boring. Talk more about the U.S. Do you remeber much about it?"
"Not really. I was way to young." A silenced passed between them. "Um, tell me some about you."
"Ahh.. where to start. Well, as of right now, I think Andy and Ryan are mad at me. I just have no clue why though. Lots of people tend to think I'm annoying, i'm sure you do too." Seiya looked to Yaten and smiled at him. "I currently need a date for the upcoming dance.. hint hint." Yaten returned Seiya's smile, but disregarded the last thing he said. Seiya sighed as he continued. "I've lived in Japan my whole life. Don't think I've ever moved out of this house. Hmm.. um..my hobbies?" Seiya thought for a minute. "Hangin' out with friends. Well, now that thats over, can I ask you a personal question?"
Yaten shifted awkwardly, but figured the question couldn't possibly get too personal. As far as he knew, Seiya had no clue about his father. So he was safe. "Sure."
"Um, please don't get offended, but remember when Andy had asked if you were gay?" Yaten nodded his head as Seiya continued. "Well... um, are you?"
"Um.. I guess I'm kind of unsure. In that state of confusion kinda thing. I mean, I've dated girls... but I guess, um.. I do find myself looking at guys more." Yaten had his head bent down and was blushing furiously when he said this. "Your gay, aren't you?"
"Yeah. So, uh, are you worried about your fahter?"
"No." Yaten's head quickly snapped up when he said that. Hopefully he didn't blow his plan up. Seiya looked at him shocked. "Well.. I mean, I am.. but my relationship with my dad isn't really all that close. I'm still worried.. but it wouldn't be a total los- I'm just closer with my mother."
"If you don't mind me asking. Why is your relationship with your dad bad?"
Yaten bent his head down again. Confused by all the questions and wanting to scream and run away. Truth was, he didn't mind Seiya asking. He really did want someone to know. Someone to help. But, Yaten didn't know what the consequenses would be if his father had found out he told. Or hinted to it. "It's just.. we don't really get along too well. We're two different people. I mean, he's like all abus-" Yaten let his eyes drift around Seiya's room and his eyes feel apon his X-box. "Do you have any good games for that?"
Seiya looked over at where Yaten was pointing, completely aware that Yaten had changed the subject, which had aroused some suspicion in Seiya. Seiya figured maybe Yaten didn't want to talk about it and let that slide. He'd tell Seiya when he was ready.. or at least he hoped he would. "Yeah. A few. Do you want to play one?"
"Sure." Yaten was relieved that Seiya didn't try to continue the conversation. The game chosen was Halo. They set their controlers and prepared to engage in a multiplayer battle. Eventually, the sound of the video game tired the boys out and they feel asleep to the soft hum of the game.
