V-Cake Disaster-

"Why do we have to go Tatsu? I don't even like Susumu!" A fiery little red head squeaked.

They where sloshing threw the muddy country streets in a fairly used BMW with piles of chocolates stuffed into the back seats and Tetsu was thoroughly ticked. He did not want to spend his spring with that annoying, no eye browed, emotionless jerk named Susumu!!

Tatsu's eye began to twitch as his stomach throbbed in pain. "You're just going to have to live with it Tetsu. We're spending our Spring Vacation with the Yamasaki's and that's that." He sighed.

"Besides, Ayumu said that they just took in a young boy about your age." Tatsu stole a glance at his glowering younger brother, "Surely if nothing else, you can play with him."

"I don't play." Tetsu spat. "I'm not five you know!"

"And if we're just spending Valentines with the three of them why do we have a bus load of stuff?" Tetsu rambled on, "I mean we could have just gotten one chocolate for each of them!"

"Because Ayumu's throwing a party." Tatsu gave his little brother a half smile while flicking the turn signal on. "Hijikata, Okita, Sanosuke, Akesato and Yamanami, their daughter Saya, Shinpachi, and Heisuke will all be there too."

Tatsu took a deep breath and pulled up to a large house that had been put fairly far away from the other neighborhoods which stood on the sleepy little hill. It was decorated pretty well with heart-shaped lights and a few Cupids placed at random in the yard.

Eyeing the still sulking red head Tatsu pleaded for him to be good to which Tetsu grudgingly agreed. As long as a certain 'no eye browed meany' kept his distance. The brothers climbed out of the car and took the chocolates out of the back seats. Tetsu dragged his feet, kicking up rocks as they made their way to the front door. Waiting at the bottom of the brightly painted red wooden steps his older brother rang the doorbell while Tetsu hid behind arms full of wrapped chocolates.

Ayumu opened the door and smiled at the two brothers. "Oh good you're here in time to help me cook and decorate!" she grinned moving to the side to let the two in.

Tetsu darted in right before his brother nearly knocking the taller man over. Warmth! Oh it was so good to have warmth! Tetsu dropped the presents on the couch and instantly huddled near the hot fire ignoring the evil looks his older brother was giving him. It might have been spring, but it was still cold!

Tatsu just sighed and smiled briefly at Ayumu. "Please forgive my brother for his rudeness. We really are grateful to be able to stay with you and your brother for spring break."

Ayumu nodded and told him not to worry about it. Tetsu turned around just in time to see Ayumu get up on her toes and place a chaste kiss on his older brother's cheek.

"Ewww!" Tetsu moaned covering his eyes. That was NOT something he wanted to see.

Tatsu just turned a slight shade of pink and mildly stuttered at a giggling Ayumu.

Ayumu pointed up at the frame of the door smiling. "Mistletoe Tatsu." She patted him on the shoulder to prove that she really meant nothing by it. "I couldn't find anything like it for V-day, so I just placed a few hearts on it."

Tatsu nodded with a look that oddly symbolized relief and slight disappointment. Tetsu just shrugged it off. As long as he never, ever had to be related to Susumu he'd be happy.

"Oh great, the runt's here." A rough voice glowered from the top of the stairs.

Tetsu just glared at the taller boy with a mullet. It was true the guy had nearly no eye brows. He was dressed in simple slacks and a long sleeved blue v-neck. He steadily walked down the stairs in his socks and stood next to his older sibling. Tetsu had actually been stupid enough to wear just a T-shirt with the print 'Monkey Boy' and zip off shorts with tennis shoes. This was of course, against Tatsu's warnings. Tatsu had actually dressed almost too warmly and had layer upon layers of shirts and jackets. Tetsu just glared at Susumu blaming him for his frozen knees. He was going to blame the guy for anything bad that happened on this little vacation of theirs and that was that.

Ayumu sighed and pushed her hair behind her ear. "Susumu would you please help Tatsu by getting their luggage and putting it in the guest room.

Susumu nodded slightly grabbing his shoes before he stepped outside. One very loud scream later Tetsu grinned. Susumu had slipped on some rocks that Tetsu kicked onto the steps and landed face first in the mud. When Susumu had come back in holding two bags there was a dirt and grime smeared all over him along with a lump of mud on top of his head. Tetsu just snickered at the sight and tried to look innocent. Ayumu sighed and shook her head and pointed for her brother to go upstairs while Tatsu yammered on about an apology for his 'inconsiderate' and 'rude' little brother.

Tatsu finished apologizing and Tetsu had turned his small attention span back to the warmth of the fire, but Tatsu still had a slightly worried look on his face. Ayumu took notice and asked him what was wrong.

Tatsu gave her a quick glance and apologized, "Didn't you say that you took in a boy about Tetsu's age not too long ago?"

Tatsu gave a slightly disappointed glance towards his younger sibling. "I was hoping Tetsu would have some one to distract him from picking fights with Susumu."

Ayumu just smiled at that. "Yes, we did actually. Hold on one second."

Turning Ayumu walked up the stairs and disappeared after turning down the hall and entering a room. Upon her return a young boy round 16 or so followed closely behind her. Tatsu nearly mistook the boy's snow white hair for a weird fuzzy hat. When he got closer he could tell that the weird hat was hair and it wasn't white it was silver.

Ayumu introduced the boy to the older man "Tatsu, this is Kitamura Suzu. Suzu this is Tatsunosuke Ichimura."

The silver haired boy bowed to Tatsu and gave what Tatsu supposed was this boy's form of a smile. "Pleasure to meet you sir."

Tatsu bowed back thanking the boy and telling him how refreshing it was to see someone his age with actual manners. Lord knew his brother didn't have any…

Ayumu pointed to the boy sitting next to the fire. "And that is Tetsunosuke. He's Tatsunosuke's little brother."

Suzu just gave a wry smile. "So this is the little brat Susumu is so fond of." He stated sarcastically.

At that Tetsu promptly turned to face the slightly older boy. "Who are you calling a brat?"

Tetsu shot up and stomped over to the taller silver haired kid. "I am not a brat."

Suzu found a new love, pushing this kid's buttons. "Sure you're not, brat."

Tetsu's furrowed his eye brows in a sign of frustration. "Stop calling me a brat, you stupid cat!"

Oh, Tatsu could feel that ulcer closing in. This was going to be a long Valentines.

The boys tossed insults back and forth for a while, Suzu seeming to have fun with it, Tetsu seeming to grow more and more irritated as he lost nearly every round. They both received a sound slap on the back of their heads from Ayumu to shut the two up.

"Since you two became such good friends so fast, you can make the cake!" Ayumu scolded them while pushing them into the kitchen.

Tetsu and Suzu moaned at their punishment each blaming the other for this unwelcome predicament.

After Ayumu left the kitchen the boys split up to get the supplies needed for the cake. Placing all the ingredients onto the counter Suzu began to read off the directions while Tetsu put them all together. It was the beginning of a dire situation soon to be known as the 'V-Cake Disaster'.

"Ok the oven's been pre heated, did you spray and line the pan?" Suzu glanced over his shoulder at his new cooking partner.

Tetsu nodded setting the spray can aside. Taking the initiative Suzu mixed the cream sugar, shortening, and eggs into a large bowl and mixed it all together. Tetsu watched in mild boredom as the older boy worked.

Noting Tetsu's apparent boredom Suzu decided to give him something to do again once he was done. When he finished with the mix he set it aside turning towards his companion.

Suzu glanced at the cooking directions. "Ok I'll do the flour and nuts and stuff, mix. You just mix the two and three/fourths of flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, salt, add it to the egg mix when you're done k?"

Tetsu stood erect and saluted his companion. "Rodger that!" he grinned turning to do the task that he was assigned.

Suzu just sighed, this boy was weird. No wonder he got on a guy like Susumu nerves, he was so hyper. He forced himself to look at the bigger picture though, no not the cake, when he was done here he would go out and avenge his brother. All he had to do was get through this Valentines Day. It seemed so simple.

When the entire mix was completed they placed the cake into the oven and waited. Tetsu was perched on the counter while Suzu leaned against the oven patiently. Several minutes passed before Tetsu got fed up with the annoying silence and tried to get the older boy to say something.

"So how did you end up here?" Tetsu blurted. "I mean you must have done something special for Ayumu and Susumu to actually let you stay here and live with them."

Suzu shot a pointed glare at the red head. "I don't think that's--" Suzu's mouth clamped shut.

A bitter smell hit Suzu's nostrils. It smelled like…burning sweets?

Tetsu just frowned at his supposed new friend. "If you don't want me to know just say so, sheash."

The sliver haired boy just held up his hand. "Shut up, moron." Suzu sniffed the air again. "Do you smell something burning?"

Tetsu sniffed the air too. "Yeah now that you mention it…It smells kind of weird…"

The oven Suzu was leaning against began to rattle and shake like a rabid dog. Suzu jumped back startled. His tan skin paled to a color rivaling that of his hair with just a tad bit more brown in it.

"Tetsu," Suzu stated slowly turning around. "Run!"

The oven's door burst open blasting Suzu straight into an unsuspecting red head. They sailed through the air before hitting the cabinets on the other side of the kitchen with a sickening crack.

When the smoke cleared Suzu didn't want to get up. Whatever he had hit was soft and warm. Its patterned breathing was almost relaxing.

Wait…breathing? Holly--!

Suzu shot up only to hit his head against an open cabinet door. Suzu sent string of cusswords flying threw his brain. Today was just not going his way.

Rubbing his head Suzu growled at the red head who's eyes where spinning in all directions as if in a daze. "Christ, Tetsu how much baking powder did you put in that damn, cake?!"

Tetsu moaned lifting his head from an awkward position that it had gotten stuck in from the blast. "I dunno." He whined. "I just put in whatever was left in the box."

"You put the whole friggin' box in!?" Suzu shouted.

He grabbed the boy by the neck shaking the already dizzy boy into next month. "You are an absolute moron!"

The two rolled around on the floor shouting at each other. Suzu aiming to kill Tetsu for his stupidity while Tetsu tried to kick the stronger boy off of him.

"I don't think any living or dead being can match your king sized stupidity you call a—Ayumu!" Suzu shouted dropping the younger boy's head that crashed to the floor with yet another sickening thud.

Tetsu rubbed his sore skull. "Hey, you can make fun of me but don't go dragging Ayumu into it too!" He blurted.

Suzu glared at the idiotic boy under him and nodded his head up in a silent command to tell him to look up. When Tetsu did as asked he drew in a sharp gasp. Towering above them was a very P.O.ed Ayumu with the back of her hands thrust upon her hips, her foot tapping in impatience. Next to her was a very sorry looking Tatsu who was pale, bending over as his ulcer gnawed at his insides once again.

"A…Ayumu…Tatsu…heh we we're just …playing?" Tetsu tried desperately to lie his way out of yet another punishment.

The look on Tatsu's face told Tetsu that this was not the type of playing he had been hoping for the two boys to do. Who could blame the guy? Walking in on your little brother with another boy on top of him could not be a good feeling. Especially not when there was goopy bread and weird juice covering the floor and sticking in your hair. Nope defiantly not the picture Tatsu had been hoping for.

Suzu crawled off the smaller red head dusting himself of all the pieces of chocolate and bread that stuck to his skin and clothing.

"Sorry, ma'am." Suzu muttered.

Tatsu seemed to regain some composure ordered Tetsu to apologize also.

Ayumu just sighed and pushed a broom into Tetsu's hands and a mop into Suzu's. "Just… clean up." Turning she dragged Tatsu away from the two.

The two boys glared at each other. They turned their back to one another and began to clean in heavy silence.

Once they had finished cleaning Suzu picked up the tin pan that they had been using to cook that cake in. He noticed at the bottom of the pan was some cake that had been saved from the explosion. Getting a particularly evil idea he scooped some of it out wetting his lips during the process.

The silver kitty turned to look at his sulking friend. "Hey, Tetsu." He called to get the boy's attention.

Tetsu turned around glaring at him. "What is it?"

Suzu just grinned at Tetsu's temper. "Want to try some of the cake that's left? You know, to see what it would have tasted like if you hadn't screwed up?" Suzu teased the younger boy mercilessly.

Tetsu growled but accepted the offer by snatching it out of the taller boy's hands and shoving it into his mouth.

Tetsu's eyes blinked in pleasurable surprise. "Not bad, but…why was it wet?" Tetsu eyed the older boy suspiciously.

Suzu bit his bottom lip trying to stifle a laugh. He ended up snorting before doubling over in laughter.

Tetsu's eye brows knitted together in confusion. "What? What's so funny?"

Suzu picked out a piece of cake from the bottom of the pan once more. Turning to fully face Tetsu he wet his lips again and let a string of silivia dribble onto the piece of cake before popping it into his mouth.

Tetsu's eyes shot open wide in comprehentsion. "Ew….EEeewww!" Tetsu shouted trying to spit whatever germs from Suzu's silivia was still on his tongue or in his mouth.

Suzu just started laughing at the brat's expense again.

And right before Tetsu tackled the cackling silver haired maniac to the floor a silent whisper broke into his subconscious.

"He must have the sweetest spit ever."
