A/N: This is yaoi so please tread carefully. I know some of the characters may seem OOC but I'm not making a serious fic here. Well, not yet anyway.

Chapter 1

It was very late in the evening and men, as it should be, were supposed to be home with their wives or their family. However, this did not apply to Aoshi Shinomori and Kamatari Honjo. Aoshi, well, he didn't have a family. And Kamatari didn't have one either but could you consider him a man to have a wife? Most certainly not! Although the two detectives were total opposites of each other, they contemplated one another- or so the chief thought.

"Hum...hum..dee...dum.." Kamatari hummed softly, tapping his fingers against the dash board. They were out for surveillance and it was getting close to three hours.

"Shut up, Honjo." Aoshi muttered, although he was quite used to his partner's antics already. Kamatari, being his usual stubborn self, did not stop humming his tune but he made it softer, so as not to bother his already hot-headed comapnion.

Hmm.. hot and bothered..

Kamatari couldn't help but let a giggle escape his lips. Aoshi shook his head, wondering how much longer he could stand this torture. Just as he was about to give up and turn the car around, their target appeared.

Perhaps what Aoshi found redeemable in his partner was the fact that he need not tell Kamatari when to get ready. The crossdresser was as alert as he was. With a nod, they both jumped out of the car and tried to catch their man off guard.

"Another job well done!" The chief remarked proudly. Aoshi and Kamatari both bowed their heads in respect to the old man before heading back to their office. It wouldn't take long for another case to pop up but for the meantime, they would have to settle with paperwork.

Aoshi didn't have a problem with doing paperwork. He didn't enjoy them but he was willing to get it over and done with. However, his partner didn't seem to see it that way.

"This is boring. Let's get some coffee, Aoshi." Kamatari pleaded as he slumped on his desk.

Yes, they had already moved past the desk and chair issue.

"Baka, the sooner you start working, the sooner you finish." Aoshi answered without even glancing up at him.

"Aoshi, can I ask you a question?"

"Ignore..ignore.."

"Why is it that you always call me Honjo or baka or ahou?"

"Ignore..ignore.."

"Call me, Kama-chan!"

Ignore..ignore.."

A few hours later, when it was four, and when Kamatari had actually moved his hand to write, Aoshi was still working hard. "Honjo, get me a cup of coffee." He ordered.

There was only a scribbling sound.

Looking up, Aoshi observed that his partner was actually doing some work. However, he still needed his coffee and Kamatari always made one for him.

"Honjo..."

More scribbling sounds.

Aoshi fumed.

"K-Kama-chan." He muttered through gritted teeth.

"Hai!" Kamatari cried out gleefully.

"Get me my coffee."

Kamatari stood up and wagged his manicured finger. "Ah-ah-ah! Not without the magic word!"

"Please get me my coffee." Aoshi repeated.

"Hai!"

A few minutes later, his wonderful and delicious coffee appeared.

It was near sundown and time for everyone to go home. Aoshi arranged his things and saw that Kamatari was still busy doing paperwork. A small smile actually appeared on his face and he murmured a soft good-bye before leaving the office.

A few minutes later, Aoshi went back in quick animated strides. With a quick hand, he snatched whatever it was that Kamatari was so focused on.

"Hey! That's mine!" Kamatari wailed.

Aoshi sighed, a sweatdrop on his face. He should have known better. It was too good to be true.

"What drawings are these?!" He asked, trying to understand the characters. He turned a bit red at some of the uh.. imaginative positions..

"Hey, gimme back my drawing! That's the last page for my doujinshi!"

"Doujinshi?"

"Hai! Saitou x Sano! Don't tell me you've never heard of Rurouni Kenshin before!"

"I have demo.. Saitou and Sano..?"

Kamatari nodded and grinned as an idea popped into his head. He pulled his drawer open and took out a bunch of comic books of some sort..

"These are more Rurouni Kenshin doujinshis! My private collection! You should take them home and see them!"

"Wh-What..?"

"Oh, look at the time! I have to get home. Ja!" Kamatari cried out as he hurried out of the station.

That night, Aoshi was about to go to bed when he remembered the doujinshi collection that Kamatari handed to him a while ago. He shook his head, trying to push the damn drawings out of his mind.

Toss.. Turn..Toss.. Turn..

"This is crazy.." Aoshi muttered but he got up and took a peek at the artworks anyway. He figured that it must be Kamatari's things that wouldn't let him sleep.

Opening the first page, he was surprised to see more Saitou and Sano action. The drawings were beautifully done and Aoshi briefly wondered where Kamatari had learned to draw. It was obviously yaoi but Aoshi didn't mind. He wasn't against homosexuality but he had never really paid much attention to it in the first place. After all, he was voted workaholic of the year, every year.

However, this provided him with questions he was unwilling to answer. He gulped as he turned to the next page, feeling an uncomfortable tightening in his lower body.
