Seto/Ryou...
Part 1- Little Lovers
Chapter 1-
Seto, a very intelligent little boy. His IQ was high and his mental maturity rivaled those twice his age. A little cold, yes, except around two people. His little brother Mokuba and his best friend. He had already started planning a book and read thousand-page novels. He even knew all his multiplication tables, 1-15, and he was only in 3rd grade.
Ryou, a very nice boy who was very empathetic and innocent. He forgave his best friend for his coldness and hardly cared that he was different. Ryou was by far the cutest child in the 3rd grade, and very smart in his own sense. Have you ever seen him do his puppy eyes?
The private school that they attended noticed the closeness of the two and monitored their behavior. They were inseparable, like brothers at their closest.
"Seto-chan! Kawai yo! Taskete!" Ryou squicked his eyes shut us he hung from the monkey bars. ((I'm scared! Help!))
"Ryou-chan, daijoubu." Seto grabbed his friend's bent knees, holding him still. "Ok, now let go. I'll catch you." ((It's alright.))
"Iie! Kawai yo!" ((No! I'm scared!))
"Let go!" Seto knew his friend wouldn't, so he devised a plan. Albeit one that would hurt himself, but at least Ryou wouldn't risk a broken arm or a sprain. He reached up and lightly tickled Ryou's stomach.
"Ne, yamete! Onegai! Yamete!" Ryou suddenly released his death grip on the bars and Seto reached to catch him. ((Stop! Please! Stop!))
"Oof!" Seto groaned, feeling weight land on his back.
"Gomen nasai Seto-chan!" Ryou stood and grabbed Seto around the shoulders. "Daijoubu desu ka?" ((I'm sorry Seto! Are you alright?))
"Hai, hai." Seto sighed. ((Yes, yes.))
"Yatta!" Ryou hugged him tighter. Seto flushed. That's when Ryou took off for the slide. Seto trudged over, deep in thought. He was theorizing his own ethical beliefs and such. ((Yay!))
"Seto-chan, watch it!" Seto felt Ryou fly head on into him. Once again, Ryou landed, sitting on his back. "G-gomen!" He hugged his friend again. ((Sorry!))
"It's ok..." Seto deeply felt like banging his head against something, but he would never hurt Ryou, no matter how klutzy he may be.
"Swing?" Ryou asked, giving extremely cute eyes.
"Ok..." Even he couldn't resist the cute eyes.
Ryou sat on the swing and Seto walked behind him. Holding him lightly on the waist, Seto pushed him gently. He felt the downy hair pressing against his chin. It felt so soft, like a pillow.
"Class, does anyone know what ten times eight is?"
Seto's hand shot up.
"Anyone besides Seto?"
Ryou gave a sideway glance to Seto.
"Eighty." He mouthed.
Ryou nodded and raised his hand.
"Yes, Ryou?"
"Eighty!"
"Good job!"
Ryou smiled and made eye contact with Seto for thanks.
Seto smiled back. Despite being only nine, he felt strong attachment to the lil white-haired chibi. Just as strong as the bond to his brother.
Snack time. Chocolate pudding and fruit juice.
"Ryou!" One of the kids yelled across the room.
"Huh?" His hand move just enough to cover his hands with pudding. "Nani? Ew..." He started licking his fingers. Were they about seven years older, it would have been very sexy.
"Here, you can have mine." Seto pushed his pudding to the side.
"Arigato Seto-chan." ((Thank you.))
Naptime came and the children settled down to sleep.
Seto settled down near one of the windows and lay down. Ryou also curled up with him, tucking his head into Seto's arm.
"Ryou-chan?"
"Yes?"
"Have you heard about the festival that's coming up?"
"The one starting tomorrow? Hai!" ((Yes!))
"Sh!" The teachers hushed.
The two giggled.
"So, do you want to come with me?" Seto asked. "I'll ask dad if you can spend the night."
"Hai." Ryou whispered in return.
The two went to the Tanabata festival, minus the parents. Seto was smart enough to take care of them. Mokuba was too young to be there, being about two.
Tanabata was a time of year when two stars in the sky that were usually apart were close together. People left pieces of paper tied onto bamboo branches with wishes that they wanted granted. There was a giant public area with bamboo branches for people to hang their own wishes on. Seto hung his up.
I wish for Ryou and Mokuba to be happy.
Ryou stood on his tiptoes to reach. "Seto-chan, I want us to be together forever! You're my best friend! I don't want you to ever go bye-bye..."
Seto smiled and shook his head slightly.
They wore traditional kimonos. Ryou's was of the lightest blue with a sort of white misty pattern. It reminded him of a sky kind of. Seto's was a solid blue color, the same color as his eyes.
Seto munched into his caramel apple. He loved festivals like these, there were so many things going on, like Japanese rituals and food and games and, well, festivities. But the ancient stuff was the coolest.
Ryou pointed to a bunny on the top shelf of a ring toss. "Seto-chan, isn't that a cute bunny?"'
"Hai." Seto smiled. "Would you like it?"
"Well, hai, but I'd have to get five rings at the top..."
"I'll do it." Seto laid a couple of yen coins down. He was given five rings. Seto was always very athletic and good at sports, so maybe he could do this. "Ichi!" Toss, loop! "Ni!"
"That's two!"
"San!"
"Three!"
"That kid's good..."
"Shi!"
"One more..."
Ryou clenched his hands together, and then realized he was holding Seto's apple. He took a small bite and smiled happily before going back to watching intensely.
"And..." he tossed the ring. "Go!" He held up a five with his fingers, and then transformed it into a peace sign.
"And which prize do you want?"
"The rabbit."
The clerk handed it to Seto, who in turn handed it to Ryou. Ryou huggled it very cutely. Must you doubt the kawaiiness of the chibi?
The night wore on. Ryou refused to let his bunny go. He pointed at a drink stand and used his ultimate chibi eyes.
"Fine, fine." Seto smiled and paid for two drinks.
They sat on a bench on the outskirts of the park. Lights dimmed slightly from age and fireflies fluttered amongst the bushes.
Seto sighed. "Ryou-chan?"
"Hai, Seto-chan?"
"I-I love you Ryou-chan."
Ryou giggled and hugged Seto. "I wuv you too ^-^! We can live together and go to school together and get married- but we couldn't have babies- and, and, and-"
Seto sighed and shook his head. He knew it would be foolish to say anything, he was probably the only 3rd grader who knew what love really was. After all, he was the only one who knew what pnuemonaultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was.
Maybe when we're older. Then maybe he'd understand. Maybe not...
He sighed and shook his head.
Chibi: So, cute? I hope so... I tried to make it cute! Who wouldn't think chibis were cute?
Wildwolf: **shrug**
Chibi: Welcome to a new (Actually, quite old) Seto/Ryou fic by Wildwolf-chan-
Wildwolf: SAMA! I'm Wildwolf-sama, idiot.
Chibi: -and Chibi-chan! Ok, so it's an adopted nickname that V-chan started calling me, but oh well... and ignore the Yami with the over-inflated ego. The Chibi has spoken. **sees Wildwolf's glares** I am the Chibi, watch me scamper. **runs**
Wildwolf: **chases** I AM WILDWOLF-SAMA!
Seto: ...Wildwolf-chan?
Ryou: **shakes head and sighs** Seto, look what I found! Picture albums from when you were a baby!
Seto: **reddens** Give them! **reaches**
Ryou: Iie! **laughs and flips through Seto's baby pictures**
