Ran and I
By: Hentai Y. Slave
Genre: PG-13, shonen-ai, fluff, humor, AU
Pairing: implied RanXKen so far, will develop later (I hope)
Summary: WOW! CHP 3! Follow Ran & Ken's everyday trouble at home and in school (okay, mostly Ken is the one in the trouble. Ken: Hey!) where they discover love in the craziest way. (AU, fluff, shonen-ai, RanXKen, Ken's POV)
Notes: Thanks to everyone who waited so patiently :) I'm still schooling and can only write fics after my exams each year, which end around this time of the year... (looks through YELLOW FOLDER OF FIC IDEAS and picks one) Ahh...the 'ken sees naked aya' scenario. Read lots of them, but never get tired of them. I think my aim of this chp is to make ken realize he not only feels brotherly admiration for Ran. Hehhehheh
Ran: (looks through YELLOW FOLDER OF FIC IDEAS) Did you realize that most of your ideas for this fic doesn't revolve around the high school?
Author: eh... oops?
Disclaimer: grumbles I.DO.NOT.OWN.WEISS.KREUZ.OR.ANY.OF.ITS.CHARACTERS. Happy? But I do own this fic. Mwahahaha.

Chapter 3: Ken needs a shirt! Ran takes a bath! Open doors?
Ran's room and my room are side by side, located on the second floor of the house. What's special about these two rooms is that there is a connecting door built in the wall separating our rooms, which would have allowed me to go in and out of his room easily. 'Would have' because Ran had insisted on keeping it locked, reasoning that it was to protect his privacy...and to prevent me from spreading 'heaps of junk' as he called it from my room to his. Hmph. Sometimes I just want to clobber him.
So my room is a little untidy. Fine, fine, it is always very messy, looking like 'a hurricane had ran through it' as my mum said. But come on, I am a normal guy, and normal guys always have messy rooms for mothers to nag at to tidy up. Well in my case it is a certain redhead that constantly nags at me to tidy it up instead...
He kept the connecting door locked, but that lock doesn't stop ME from entering his room, no soiree. Just a little picking with a paper clip does the trick. How did I learn how to pick a lock you ask. Well, my locker in school is one of the older ones, which takes forever to open because the lock is quite rusty. Taking the advise of fellow locker mates, I use a paper clip to force the locker open instead. Now, after a right amount of practice, I could easily open the stubborn locker myself. The connecting door's lock is much easier to pick then my locker's lock. Smart, aren't I? Ran doesn't know I can do that of course.
And no, I am not some pervert who sneaks into my best friend-cum-brother's room everyday. Geez. I just occasionally need to sneak in sometimes to borrow stuff without him knowing. Little stuff like stationary, clothes and...well stuff. It's too bothersome to ask him, and I always return it before he even realizes. I only have a need to sneak in for a few times. And this is one of those times.
I was invited to a party tonight held at one of my soccer buddies' house. Looking through my closet, I realized that all my shirts were either not suitable for the party or wore too many times. Then I remembered the really nice black shirt that Ran had bought the other day when I went shopping with him (Ok, more like I pestered him to buy it because he looked nice in it.). That would do. We wear almost the same size and I bet he won't even notice it was gone. On nights like these Ran would just take a shower, and then read a book on his bed till he falls asleep. I could wear it tonight, then wash it, and then put it back. He rarely goes out unless he's going to school or the flower shop, and since he is not working over the weekend he'll just stay at home. (Heck, I had to DRAG him out just for some fresh air!)
Just then, I hear the sound of running water coming from his room as he takes his nightly shower. Ah ha! A chance! I quickly picked at the lock with my trusty paper clip, before sliding into his room. I have to be really quiet, because our kendo master has a very keen sense of hearing (and a very sharp katana too. Eep!) Looking around his room, I am again astounded for a moment at the sheer cleanness of his room. No matter how many times I enter his room (invited or not) I would be caught in awe at how neat it is. Everything was placed in perfect order, without a speck of dust. He even arranged his books in alphabetical order. Geez. Most of the time when we were hanging out we would be in the living room or my room, never his room. Well, there used to be rare times when we spent time in his room...until that day when I, well, uh accidentally broke his favorite vase when I was alone in there cause he went to the kitchen to get a snack. Oops.
He knew that I did not did it on purpose, (hey if I did it on purpose do you think I would still be alive?) so he just glared at my puppy-eye expression for a while. It WAS an ugly vase anyway. After that, there seemed to be an unspoken rule established about me entering his room. Minus 1 point for me. Anyway (I REALLY have to stop spacing out), I tiptoed to the closet and opened the top drawer. Yes! There it was, shining brightly and seemingly calling out to me to take it to the party. Heh heh. I grabbed it and turned around.
That's when I noticed Ran's bathroom door was open.
I guess since he thought both doors were locked he had no qualms about keeping the bathroom door open. I found myself standing rooted to the ground, eyes locked at the sight of Ran standing in the bath, letting the water run down his body as he washed himself. The only thing preventing me from seeing his naked body was the thin shower drape, but the damn cloth was so translucent I could make out his lean muscular built. I caught my reflection on a mirror and found that my face was red. I was...blushing? I backed off clumsily and my feet connected with a chair, knocking it down.
Oops.
He heard the sound of course, giving a slightly startled jump. I myself made a small "eep" sound. I saw his left hand reach for a towel to wrap around his lower half of the body as the other hand reached for his katana. Within seconds he had ran out of the shower, katana ready. He almost dropped his sword when he saw that it was just me.
If I was blushing red just now I think I am close to fainting now. Ran's right hand was holding his katana, which left his towel to be held loosely by his left hand only. The towel hung dangerously loose around his hips, exposing his long legs where the towel could not cover. His perfect pale chest heaved up and down due to his heavy breathing. Water continued to drip off his hair, making it glitter. He stood close enough for me to smell the nice lavender scented soap he uses.
The sight was very entrancing to me and I found myself staring at this beautiful creature in front of me.
Our eyes met for a moment as I took in his confused expression.
"What...how..." the beautiful creature said. He looked at me, then at the door, back at me, and then finally rested his gaze on the connecting door. The opened connecting door. With a paper clip in the lock. That made me snapped out of my trance.
Uh oh. He knows.
He glared at me. I gave a nervous chuckle.
"Ehh...can I borrow your shirt?" I explained lamely, lifting up the shirt for him to see. Bad move, cause he narrowed his eyes at me. Damn, he looks even sexier like that...
Wait. Did I just thought he was...
I ran back to my room without a word through the connecting door, shutting it behind me. Words died in my throat as I reflected on what I saw back there.
The towel hung loosely around his waist. His pale muscular body glistening as it dripped with water. His ruffled hair and confused expression. The sexy way he narrows his eyes.
I feel my heart pounding in my chest.
What the hell...
End or TBC?

Author: (wakes up) thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou. Here are my review replies:
To:
Kage Miko - (bows back) oh, pls don't bow to me! Em..thank you for your praise! still in shock fic getting so much support
Denisse - umm... I don't understand your language sweatdrop I'm sorry, I only know English and Chinese.. but I guess you're asking about a lemon right? Well...sorry to disappoint you and everyone else hoping for a lemon, but I can't...no...I DON'T know how to write a lemon. You should check out the other fics for lemons
KoOokai - thank you for your praise. I for one think that Ran is just shy beneath his cold exterior. It's just so sweet! Hurry up and make Ken his you ask... well, it's going to take a while but it should be soon. No promises though.
Seph Lorraine - hehheh, how could I bear to leave this with so many reviews coming in! Guess what, your fav moments are my fav moments too! Never eat chocolates shock What have I done! The horror! Btw, speaking of chocolate, I recommend you the fic "Weiss are like a box of chocolates" by Hentai Slave. This person IS ME. Yeah, just another user name of mine. You can find the author's name under search.
Jin Munku-JGSPTV – yay, at least I know one of my previous reviewer has read the replies I painstakingly typed. I have thought of writing the ice-cream scenario you mentioned, but there's quite a lot of fics on that already, so I don't think I should do it. Yup, I am writing more, but you have to be patient.
Li Alura - thinksIt seems that I have lots of reviewers liking Ran's response of buying a house and marrying ken. Maybe I should expand that part in Ran's mind once I get the companion fic back anyways, I'm a screaming fangirl myself. Hehe.
Prodigy-13 - thank you! I guess you're a Nagi fan right? Me too! (waves Nagi banner)
silly goose - glad you came to read this (nearly chokes on glomp&puppy eyes attack, but happy everyone seems to describe this fic as cute). Hn.
Santurion - you know, this lost picture thing was actually one the last ideas I came up with. It seems suitable enough, so I put it as chp 2
Drea Kaiba - best use of fluff! Wow, you don't know how much that praise means to m, THANKS! glomps Err, I can't really e-mail you anytime soon. I'm quite busy, with life and writing. But if anyone who really likes my fics e-mail me instead, I'll guarantee to reply.
olivia-yuymaxwell - thanks for reviewing again . I really appreciate every review.
kagusai gummie - installment? wow, nice word. Well, here's the next chp
toriko - (glomps) ohhh, thanks for reviewing again! And you called me slave-chan! You have to be one of my fav reviewers! Wow, maybe you can predict the future; how did you know I was going to get dense ken to realize his feelings? You're absolutely right btw, Ran DID put the picture in his wallet because he loves Ken. He's just shy to admit it.
Ken: One, two, three
All: Awwwwwww
Anyway, E-mail me sometime ok? And I'll tell you what I have in stored (just briefly)
dragon dreams - thanks . I think I liked chp 2 the best
Kite - aww, don't cry! Thanks for the support!
Aika-chan - I hope there wasn't anyone important over the phone :p
Ranny Boy - you know what, I've thought of cosplaying as ken too, but gluhen ken. If I spot a Ran when that happens I'll definitely glomp him (nods vigorously)
Ran: (tries to get Ranny Boy off) Let go of my foot!
Author:-) (clings on to other foot)
Ran: 0.0
HisAngel - I wrote this story in ken's pov cause I've read a lot of such fics and I looooooved them. And yup, I liked the second chap better...
Amatsu - umm don't cry. I know it's a long wait but here's the next chp.
Penguin - ... I'm not sure when I'm finishing this though. I'm running out of ideas!
Vault 713 - well, ken won't leave ran when he knows something's wrong. I was also cheering as I wrote how ken turned back
Line - hehheh that was one of my favorite parts too. I love it when ran makes some comment to piss ken off. I can just see ken chasing after him around the house when he teases him
Nataku - hmm I don't think I intend on having anyone in the fic being offended by the two. I like nice fluff with nice endings.
Rie - you know I was shocked when I read your review. You took notice that it's been a year! Well, I just entered a new school and the year has been all about studying, no time for fics till year end. That's why all my fics (including those under another name) are written around this time.
