NOTES:

Myca- Yes, I hate those dreams too…I just had one the other night where my friends and I were acting out Moon Child (don't ask me why) and they actually killed me…I was dead…it was strange…but people could see me...

Chapter Two: Another Slashy, Angst-Filled Towel Scene…And Some Other Stuff, Too.

Kei emerged from the bathroom dripping wet, wrapping a towel around his waist. He entered the kitchen to find Sho rummaging around through the fridge. As he looked up, he was startled. "KEI!!" He yelled, slamming the fridge door closed. "You're wearing—my—……to—wel…" Sho's voice grew quieter and quieter until it died off. He backed up until he hit the fridge. Kei stared at him as though he were mad.

"God Sho," Kei said angrily, walking over to the man briskly. "I CAN'T DIE SO WHY DO YOU AVOID ME?!" He grabbed Sho's shoulders and pinned him against the fridge. "Why must you be like this?" Kei whispered, staring into Sho's eyes. Sho looked away, averting his eyes to the table. "Sho—" Kei reached up and grabbed Sho's head gently, forcing Sho to look at him. A tear was trickling down his cheek. "You'll tear us apart…I don't want that again, Sho. I DON'T WANT THAT AGAIN!!"

I took my love, and I took it down
I Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

"I'M SORRY!" Sho cried, beginning to sob. He brought his hands up and covered his face, crying into his hands. He felt helpless. Kei pulled Sho towards him, even though he was much shorter than Sho, hugging him tightly.

"We really need to do something," Kei whispered into Sho's hair. Sho nodded in response, trying to suppress his own sobs. "Besides," Kei lifted up Sho's head. Tears were spilling down his face, his mouth slightly agape, revealing the bottom edge of his perfect teeth. "You're always wearing my towel." Sho smiled, standing up straight, wiping his forgotten tears on the back of his hand.

'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love

"That's what it is!" Kei said, his face brightening.

"What's it?" Sho asked, the tears now gone. He began to rummage around in the fridge once more.

"You're more sensitive than before!!" Kei answered, smiling graciously.

"Damn," Sho said, slamming the fridge shut for the second time. "We're out of pickles…what'd you say, Kei-kun?"

"I said you're more sensitive than you used to be," Kei replied.

Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

"WHAT?!" Sho yelped, jumping slightly.

"It comes as a shock to you, Sho?" Kei said, cocking an eyebrow.

"Yes it does!!" Sho said, glaring at Kei, who had a grin on his face, "I think it's all because you're so mean to me!!"

"I'm mean to you??" Kei queried, stepping closer to Sho, his wet feet slipping slightly on the linoleum. He fell forward into Sho's chest.

"Well, not all the time," Sho said, grabbing Kei and wrapping his arms around the vampire. He leaned down and pressed his lips to Kei's, who made a funny sound that made Sho smile in mid-kiss. Sho enveloped Kei's lips within his own and within moments, they were passionately kissing.

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

"M meef foo ghange umftoo fomefing!!" Kei tried to say while they were kissing. Sho stopped.

"What?" he asked.

"I NEED TO GO CHANGE INTO SOMETHING!!" Kei said, shivering and gesturing towards the towel.

"Huh? Oh. Okay." Sho said, letting go of Kei. He began to brush off his shirt. "Great. You got my shirt wet!!" Kei turned around to say something, but instead:

"THAT'S MY SHIRT!!" Kei yelled. Sho looked down, and sure enough, it was one of Kei's shirts. He began to laugh.

I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older

"So it is," Sho replied, laughing hysterically.

"That's my favorite shirt!" Sho looked and realized that it was the infamous 'Safe Sex Forever' shirt (how he managed to put it on without noticing was a mystery to him) and laughed harder, leaning against the fridge so he could stay standing.

"You're—always—wearing—my pants!" He gasped through laughs.

"BUT YOU HAVE EIGHT THOUSAND PAIRS OF THE SAME EXACT PANTS!!" Kei fumed. "I only have one shirt like that!"

I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too

"What does it matter?" Sho said, the laughter slowly ebbing away. "All you have to do is wash it…or dry it with a blow-dryer…"

"But—but—" Kei rambled. "I WAS GOING TO WEAR THAT TODAY TOO!!"

"Well, I'm sorry, okay?" Sho said apologetically. To Kei, it looked like he was serious about it…until… "To make it up to you…why don't you wear a pair of my pants today?" Kei looked outraged. He glared at Sho, crossing his arms over his still-wet chest.

"You better be joking!" Kei snarled. Sho's eyes widened in shock.

"Are you alright, Kei?" Sho asked fearfully. "You haven't been this angry in ages…at least four months…"

"I don't know!" Kei snapped. "It's gotta be…the loss of sleep and YOU ALWAYS WEARING MY CLOTHES!!"

Oh, take this love, take it down
Oh, If you Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

"Kei—this is the first time in four months…" Sho said carefully.

"Really??" Kei snapped, spinning back around and retreating to the bathroom so he could change.

Five anticipated minutes later, Kei returned to the kitchen to find Sho not there. "Sho?" he called. He could have sworn that he had heard a distinct intake of breath. "Sho, where are you??" Kei began to scan the room. He heard the sharp intake of breath. As he looked over to the far corner near the TV, he saw Sho huddled up, shaking. Slowly and cautiously, Kei walked over to him. As he was within quiet talking distance, he began to question Sho.

"Sho?" he said, still staring at Sho, who was, still, shaking like mad. "Are you alright?" Sho did not respond, he merely went into convulsions. "SHO!!" Kei screamed at the man, running over and falling next to him. Kei quickly pulled the man onto his lap, trying to hold him steady. The convulsions stopped abruptly, but Sho didn't open his eyes.

Well the landslide will bring it down down

"Sho???" Kei whispered, brushing hair out of Sho's face. "Are you there?" No response. He didn't move at all, he merely laid limp in Kei's grasp. "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no!" Kei shook Sho hard, but nothing happened. "Not again…oh no…Sho—Sho-chan…wake up!!"

Still nothing happened. Kei became frantic. "God, Sho. I'm not taking you to the hospital again…no…NO. DON'T MAKE ME TAKE YOU. I'LL LOST MY SANITY IF I DO!!" Kei cried at the unconscious man. He whipped his head around, searching for an answer…or maybe the real Sho would walk in any moment…

And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

It didn't happen. An angry tear slid down Kei's cheek. "You're pushing me to do it, aren't you?" he asked Sho. "Oh, god…" He pressed a hand up to his forehead. "Fine. I don't want you to die, but I never wanted to go back…there." Kei was referring to the hospital. "God, I hate you, Sho…but yet I'll do anything to keep you alive just a little bit longer…just a bit longer so we can enjoy our small time together…" Kei shuddered at the thought, but suppressed it immediately.

"Come on." Kei said, lifting Sho up easily. He walked over to the door and somehow managed to open it. "There's no way I'm carrying you to the hospital…we're taking the car…maybe I can escape to it if I start to lose my sanity again…" He locked the door and laid Sho gently in the backseat of the convertible. He shut the door quietly and entered it himself, starting the car up, backing out, and driving to the place Kei knew as Hell……………………

Well well the landslide will bring it down................

Don't mind the angst at the beginning…I wasn't in a good mood at that time when I wrote that…
