Visual Sensations
By: Kia Wolf
Kia: Hey ya! You know, I was expecting someone to say something about the Jar and Julie thing. But no one did. I guess everyone was preoccupied with the proposal! Something D is VERY happy about!
D: is still crying and hugging Leon
Leon: Um…I'm glad you're happy, D…But you've been hugging me for six hours straight. Could you please let go?
D: Oh…I'm sorry. lets go
Kia: Heh. Well, here's the next chapter! Also, I am aware that gays are not allowed to marry in Louisiana. I don't care, and am ignoring that fact. Oh, and, yes, Chris has regained speech. He is…older. Not exactly sure on age yet. I'll get back to you on that one.
Chapter 18
A wedding was planned immediately. Kasi was bubbling with joy. She adored weddings, and now she would be able to set up one for her new friends. She had hounded D, pulling the poor Chinaman to many different stores over the week. Sometimes Jill would accompany them, leaving Leon to baby-sit.
This didn't sit well with Leon. One night he complained to D, who was lying contently in his arms. "I HATE being left out! I don't like babysitting either! Why am I the one that gets stuck at home? It's MY wedding too!"
D abruptly stopped the whining with a kiss. "Leon…sweetheart. Shut up." Leon pouted. "I'll see if Miss Kasi will let you come along tomorrow."
Leon smiled a little, nodding. "Ok."
D let out a contented sigh and snuggled closer to Leon. "Good night, bishounen."
"'Night."
The Next Morning
"A…wedding dress?" D questioned, his hand tightening around Leon's.
"Yes. A beautiful white one!" Kasi exclaimed, clasping her hands in front of her happily.
"Um…don't virgin brides wear white?" Leon inquired.
"Yes, why?" Kasi asked.
D and Leon exchanged glances. Jill snickered. "Of course! D's not a virgin!" Jill explained.
Kasi paused in her fervent pacing. "Oh…right…"
D smiled weakly, obviously embarrassed at his wedding's flaw. Leon just nuzzled his neck. "That's ok, hun. You can still wear white. Cuz it's your first wedding."
D poked Leon playfully. "Yours too."
Jar climbed onto D's lap. "What's a wedding?"
Leon looked a bit surprised, while D just smiled. "A wedding is what takes place so that you can be with someone you really love forever." D explained gently.
Julie grabbed Jar in a hug, almost dragging him from D's lap. "Can me and Jar have a wedding?"
Jill burst into laughter, and D giggled. "Maybe when you're older." Jill suggested.
Leon was no longer paying attention to the older kids. Matt was standing again, holding onto the coffee table in the living room. D smiled. Leon had such a short attention span. Leon let go of D's hand, and walked over to Matt. D watched admirably.
Leon smiled at Matt, taking his tiny hands into his own larger ones. Matt laughed happily and excitedly as he stepped forward, obviously heading for D, with the help of his father. Yui watched this jealously. She couldn't believe her older brother had gotten this far ahead of her. She would have to learn to walk. And soon. D glanced toward Yui, who began to cry and hold out her hands, wanting to get attention and get it away from her brother.
"Do you want me to get her?" Jill asked.
D shook his head as he held out his hands to Matt. "She's just being a-"
"Jealous brat." Leon laughed, finishing D's sentence.
D smiled as Matt pulled one hand free of Leon's to grab D's clothes. Matt laughed and cooed as D picked him up, praising him from walking over to him. Yui was still crying, and Leon turned to look at her. She instantly reduced her crying to mere whimpers.
Leon shook his head and returned the coffee table to get Yui. "You wanna try?" Leon asked her, helping her to her feet. He held her like that for a moment, letting her stand. She was holding onto his shoulder with one hand, and his ponytail with the other.
When Leon stood, holding her hands to help her, she started to whimper again, but tried to take a step. She wasn't near as steady as Matt, but after a few more steps, she was a little more confident and a little more steady. Matt sat in D's lap, watching all of this curiously. When Yui was about halfway to D, Matt clapped for her, cheering her on.
Leon picked up Yui, tossing her into the air, when she got to the finish line. He cradled her in his arms, and sat in his spot next to his beloved. Everyone congratulated the twins briefly, and then returned to talking about the upcoming wedding.
Meanwhile, the twins talked amongst themselves.
'Yay! You did it, Yui!' Matt exclaimed.
'Shut up, Matt.' Yui snapped.
Matt's smile faded. Yui should've been happy that she had walked over here. 'What's wrong, Yui?'
'I can't believe I actually HAVE to compete with YOU! Of all babies…I'm gonna be left behind by my own brother! Well, you just wait, tidbit. I'll beat you. I'M gonna be the first to walk alone!' Yui glared at Matt.
Matt was confused. 'Um…ok? You be the first one, then. I don't care.'
Both babies grew quiet when Leon moved a bit closer to D and linked arms with him. Then Yui continued. 'Oh please! Matt, this is all one big competition! Don't you see? Mama and Daddy's waiting to see which one walks first, talks first, all those things. I've got a feeling Daddy will spend more time with whoever walks first, and Mama will spend more time with the second one.'
'Why?' Matt asked. The more Yui talked, the more confused he got.
'Cuz! Daddy likes to play games and stuff! And he'll want the first one to learn to play games with him because the first to walk will seem to be the more athletic, which means that I need to walk first because you're a sissy and definitely AREN'T athletic. You can't even rearrange your own toys in your crib!' Yui said confidently.
Matt listened during all of this. He was so confused. He had NO idea what Yui was babbling about, or why it was so important. But it had to be right, because Yui said it. And if Yui said it, it had to be right. So Matt would just say yes and go along with her. 'Ok. I'm going to get Mama to feed me now…'
'Whatever.' Yui said, no longer interested in talking to her brother.
Matt tugged at D's sleeve, and D lifted his hand, placing it on Matt's cheek, not paying attention to the boy. Matt took D's thumb and began to suck on it, hoping his mother would understand. D did and smiled down at Matt.
"Are you hungry?" D cooed, standing to get a bottle for Matt. While Matt drank happily, Yui snuggled against Leon, closing her eyes. It was tiring, learning to walk and arguing. All in the same day too.
At the Petshop
T-chan growled angrily when the phone began to ring. He had a horrible hangover, and a feeling in the pit of his stomach told him Leon wouldn't be happy when he found all his beer gone. The phone continued to ring persistently, so T-chan shouted for Pon-chan.
Pon-chan skipped into the room and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Pon-chan? Hey. I haven't talked to you in a while!"
"Chris! How are you?"
"I'm doing great, thanks. Is Leon there?"
"No."
"What about the Count?"
"No."
"Oh…where are they?"
"Louisiana!"
"When did they go there?"
"A week ago today."
There was silence on Chris's side of the phone. Pon-chan could hear a voice in the background. "Hey, Chris? What did you do with my shirt?"
"Just a minute, Pon-chan." Chris then spoke to the female voice. "I don't know, Lynne. Wasn't it on the bed?" Pon-chan couldn't understand what was said next. Soon Chris came back on the phone. "Pon-chan?"
"I'm here."
"Why'd my brother go to Louisiana?"
"Cuz Jill invited them to go with her."
"Oh. When are they gonna be back?"
"I think they said they'd be gone three weeks."
"Hm…"
Lynne's voice came back into the background. "Chris, my bra's missing too!"
Chris sighed. "Look under the bed, Lynne!" He focused on Pon-chan again. "Ok, well. If they call for any reason, tell them I'm coming to visit ok? Oh, and tell them I'm bringing…a friend."
"Ok!" Pon-chan exclaimed. "Bye."
"Bye." Chris said.
Before he hung up, Pon-chan could hear Lynne again. "Chris, whose is this? This isn't my underwear!"
Pon-chan hung up and skipped over to T-chan. "That was Chris."
"I know. I heard." T-chan grumbled. He rolled onto his side, curling up on the couch. "Go feed the others." He ordered Pon-chan.
"Ok, T-chan!" Pon-chan started to leave. "Do you want an ice pack?"
"Yeah. Thanks." T-chan muttered, closing his eyes.
