NOTES:
Essenity: My computer does that too. And it annoys me. Platinum Egoiste is the cologne Gackt wears/sweats. And I got a bottle for my birthday. My mom said it was a "stupid gift", but I was ecstatic! Kurisutina isn't in the movie. She's from one of my other fics. Aha. Kinky is Melly's word. And I wish that happened in the movie (I think I would die if it actually happened). Sadly, it does not. No slash in the movie either. Just implied stuff. Very implied stuff in my mind. And Kei has 16(?) different outfits throughout the movie. (Kris and I counted once…it was either sixteen or fourteen…)
YaoiKitty: Haha. Kei…I'd hide behind both of them. Could we take them to the cabin with us too? Even though they are fictional? XD That would be amazing.
Immortal-entity: Yes, I know you're back. And I think my review was like…four hundred words long. That review inspired me to write my letter to Gackt for his birthday next year. XD
Fujipuri: I don't know what Hyde wears. If he wore Platinum Egoiste, that would be incredibly suspicious. I despise fluffyness, but it's also freaking cute and happy, which means that I like it. More wonderful fluff in this chapter.
Thanks for all of the other reviews that I can't seem to find in my inbox. XD
Chapter Three
"Morning, Kei." A soft voice said in his ear. Kei slowly opened his eyes and found Sho staring at him with a warm look in his sapphire eyes. He was kneeling on the ground, one hand stroking Kei's cheek softly, the other resting on Kei's chest. Kei stretched, moaning. "How'd you sleep?"
"Good until you woke me up." Kei said, turning to lay on his side.
"I'm sorry, Kei!" Sho said, feeling guilty that he woken Kei up. "I'll just—"
"It's fine, Sho." Kei told him, putting a hand on Sho's cheek. "I needed to get up anyway…" Kei sat up on the couch and smiled at Sho. "Care to join me?" Sho grinned and jumped up on the couch, sitting next to Kei. He wrapped his arms around Kei's neck and leaned forward.
"Mmm—I had fun last night, Kei." Sho whispered.
"I did too." Kei replied, smiling. "When should we go out again?"
"Tomorrow." Sho told him.
"But then what do we do today?" Kei asked. Sho merely grinned. "Sho……I don't even want to know." Sho shook his head.
"Just because you think I'm thinking something perverted—"
"Stop right there, Sho." Kei said, cutting him off. "That sentence will be the death of you." Sho laughed.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really." Kei stood up, breaking away from Sho's arms. "I need a shower…" Kei said.
"Okay." Sho said, still sitting on the couch. Kei walked to the bathroom and when he reached the door, he turned to look at Sho. Sho was still sitting on the couch. He was holding Kei's pillow up to his nose.
"Even his pillow smells good…" Sho said softly, hugging the pillow to his chest. Kei grinned and closed the bathroom door. He stripped off his clothes, throwing them in the hamper next to the sink. He quickly turned on the water, stepping underneath the shower head. The warm water was soothing and he was suddenly lost in a daydream.
Finally snapping out of his daydream, Kei rinsed out the conditioner in his blonde hair and turned off the water. He opened the shower door a few inches so he could grab his towel. He dried off his face gently and then wrapped the towel around his waist, stepping out of the shower. He grabbed a smaller towel and dried off his torso, slinging the towel around his shoulders. He heard a knock on the door.
"Kei?" Sho knocked on the door again. Suddenly the door opened and Sho gasped, blushing furiously.
"Sho…" Kei said, staring at him. Sho couldn't control his curiosity and Kei watched as the sapphire eyes trailed down his slick body. "Sho." Kei said again. Sho didn't pay any attention; his eyes continued searching Kei's figure. Kei took a step forward and touched Sho's cheek.
"K-Kei!" Sho said, blushing even redder than before. "S-sorry!"
"It's okay, Sho." Kei said. "But could you leave for two minutes so I can put some pants on?"
"Y-yeah." Sho stuttered, backing out of the bathroom and closing the door. Kei sighed and dried off his legs quickly, slipping into a pair of leather pants. He opened the bathroom door to find Sho standing a few feet away, his head in his hands.
"Sho?" Kei said softly, stepping forward and gently touching Sho's shoulder. "Are you alright?"
"I'm an idiot." Sho said, looking at Kei. "I-I knew you were in the shower and I don't know why I opened the door."
"You're not stupid!" Kei said, pulling the man into a hug.
"Yes I am!" Sho said, beginning to cry into Kei's shoulder.
"Sho—don't cry!" Kei said. Sho stopped sobbing. "I'm not even mad at you!" Sho looked up.
"You aren't?"
"No, I'm not." Kei told him, gently brushing Sho's bangs away from his eyes. "Don't get upset over such a little thing." Sho nodded his head. "You're okay, right?"
"Yeah." Sho replied, drying off his face with the corner of the towel draped around Kei's shoulders. "Just…can you hold me like that again?" Kei gave him a quizzical look. Sho blushed slightly. "It was…nice." Kei smiled and wrapped his arms around Sho, pulling the man close. Sho rested his head in the crook of Kei's neck. "I'm tired…" Sho breathed.
"What time is it?" Kei asked.
"It's nine at night."
"What?" Kei said, suddenly letting go of Sho.
"You slept for half of the day!" Sho told him, guiding Kei to the couch. "You don't know how long I sat there and waited for you to wake up." They both sat down. Sho curled up next to Kei on the couch. "And I'm really tired." Kei wrapped his arms around Sho and Sho leaned into the warm embrace, resting his head in the crook of Kei's neck again.
"Go to sleep, Sho…" Kei whispered softly in the man's ear. "I'll watch over you. Don't worry." Sho sighed softly and slipped into a deep, dreamless sleep. "I'll always watch over you…no matter what." Kei breathed softly into Sho's ear. Without hesitation, knowing Sho was asleep, he added, "I love you." Kei smiled to himself, gently scooping Sho into his arms and slowly walking to Sho's room. "You fall asleep fast, Sho-kun." Kei said softly as he sat down on the edge of Sho's bed. As quickly as he could, with one hand, he pulled back the covers and gently laid Sho down. As he pulled the covers around Sho, he said delicately, "You're one of a kind, Sho…you're my guardian angel………"
Sho woke up the nextday to find Kei kneeling on the floor next to his pillow, fast asleep, still with no shirt on. His arms were folded on top of the sheets, his head resting on top of his arms. Sho smiled at the sight and gently kissed the vampire's forehead. "So cute…" Sho whispered. Kei's eyes opened drunkenly, his eyes a bit hazy. "Morning, Kei." Sho said, stretching. Kei's eyes focused on Sho.
"I—I fell asleep!" Sho chuckled.
"Apparently."
"But—I slept forever yesterday!"
"It's probably because you don't eat enough, Kei." Sho told him, sitting up. He rubbed his eyes, getting rid of his sleepiness. "I need a shower."
"Thanks for telling me." Kei said, standing up. "I'll be eating in the kitchen."
As he headed towards the open door, Sho asked, "You're not going to eat, are you?"
"No." Kei replied. He flashed Sho a smile and sat down at the kitchen table. He watched Sho emerge from his room and head down to the bathroom. "What would you do, Sho, if I walked in on you?" Kei called to him. Sho didn't turn around, but he did reply;
"I'd drag you in the shower with me." Kei shook his head amusingly at Sho's answer.
"You wouldn't have the guts." Kei called back. Sho was suddenly standing in the hallway, staring directly at Kei.
"Oh wouldn't I?"
"No, you wouldn't." Sho's stern face cracked into a smile.
"You're probably right."
"Go get in the shower, Sho." Kei told him. Sho smiled and walked back to the bathroom. Within a few moments, Kei heard the water turn on. His mind suddenly wandered into a daydream about nothing as he stared blankly at the refrigerator. Once the shower water turned off, Kei snapped out of his daydream.
"So, where should I make reservations to tonight?" Kei asked Sho as he emerged from the bathroom.
"I don't really want to eat at a restaurant tonight, Kei." Sho said softly, sitting down at the table across from Kei.
"Oh? So where to then?"
"I don't know, surprise me!" Sho said, smiling.
"Um…okay." Kei replied, thinking. "And how will I do that?"
"You think I have any idea?" Sho asked, standing up. "I'm going to go get ready."
"We still have two hours until sunset!" Kei said, his mind wandering. As Sho left the room, Kei said quietly, "Is the carnival too kiddy for you?"
"No. A carnival's fine, Kei." Sho called out to him.
"Wh—how did you hear me?" Kei called back.
"WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Sho screamed out to him. Kei shook his head.
"How the hell did we sleep for so long?" He asked himself.
Apparently it did take Sho two hours to get ready for a date. Kei sighed and walked over to the front door, waiting for Sho.
"Hurry up, Sho." Kei said as Sho's figure appeared in the darkened hallway. "We don't want to be late for the—oh my god." Kei's jaw dropped as he stared at Sho. Sho looked absolutely stunning. He had on a black, skin-tight tank top and skin-tight red leather pants. His teeth were gleaming in the light of the kitchen; his hair was back in a silver hair tie. Kei wasn't dressed as spectacular as Sho. His hair he had left fluffy and falling around his face; he had on black leather pants and his favorite red shirt that stated "Safe sex forever".
"Kei?" Sho said, walking over and putting a hand underneath Kei's chin. "Are you okay?"
"You…you…" Sho grinned. "You're…gorgeous."
"So are you." Sho kissed Kei's cheek softly. "And just think—I did this all for you."
"For me?" Kei asked, smiling.
"Mm hmm." Sho replied, opening the front door. "So, shall we go?" Kei nodded, gently grabbing Sho's hand.
"To the carnival!" Kei exclaimed, dragging Sho down the street behind him...
When they arrived at the carnival, Sho squeaked in delight at the rides and flashing lights. "You are a little kid." Kei commented. As they wandered aimlessly through the crowds of families and couples playing games and eating snacks, they talked quietly.
"You're not serious, I hope..." Kei said, staring at Sho.
"I am serious. I have never been to a carnival before." Sho told him and he slowly ate through his cotton candy Kei had bought him.
"Well, are you enjoying your cotton candy then?" Kei asked him as they sat down underneath a low-hanging willow tree. Sho nodded.
"Yeah. This whole night has been wonderful." Sho said, licking his lips clear of cotton candy. The couple sat in silence for a few moments until Sho sighed.
"Are you alright?" Kei asked, leaning close to Sho.
"Kei--I..." Sho paused. "I want my first kiss..." He blushed furiously and leaned forward slightly.
"With me?" Kei asked softly, leaning towards Sho. He licked his lips quickly as his eyes trailed down to Sho's lips. I wonder if his lips really are that soft... Kei thought.
"With you." Sho breathed on Kei's lips.
"Good." Kei whispered. Their lips met softly and tenderly. Sho took a deep intake of breath as Kei brought his hand up to Sho's cheek. After a few moments, they pulled away from each other. Sho smiled.
"Mmm—again." Kei grinned and leaned forward again. He licked his lips, which tasted faintly of cotton candy. Kei looked down and noticed something.
"Sho—your cotton candy fell on the ground." Kei looked back up at Sho, who was still leaning forward.
"I don't care." Sho whispered, lifting up a hand and brushing away Kei's hair from his face. Sho pressed his lips to Kei's again and rested his hand on Kei's shoulder. Hmm…his lips really are that soft. Kei thought as they kissed. He pressed himself against Sho, letting the man's arms wrap around him.
"Sho…" Kei breathed as they pulled away.
"That was……" Sho couldn't find the right word.
"Enlightening?"
"No."
"Amusing?"
"No."
"Delicious?" Sho look at him and smiled broadly, revealing all of his teeth.
"Yes…" Kei's hands trailed up to Sho's cheeks.
"I just want to try something…" Kei whispered before pressing their lips together again. He pressed his tongue against Sho's lips. He felt Sho jump slightly in shock, but his lips soon parted and Kei took advantage. He pushed Sho back against the tree and let his tongue trace over Sho's perfect teeth. Sho's tongue came in contact with Kei's tongue as he slid his hands down to Kei's waist. Kei pulled away slowly, trying not to take the kiss any farther. He realized Sho was breathing quite heavily, but he looked rather pleased.
"I want to go home." Sho said softly, his cheeks flushed, his lips curving into a smile.
"But we didn't even go on any rides!" Kei said as they stood up. Sho still had his arms around Kei.
"I don't care. This night…it's…hard to describe." Sho said as they started to walk home.
"But you did have fun?"
"Mm hmm. More fun than I've ever had. Ever."
I think my parents think I've been sleeping in the basement because I get up earlier than them and I'm on the computer when they get up. XD I'm just writing my fics, that's all.
Did you ever notice that Sho likes to walk in on Kei while he's getting out of the shower? xD I think he's obsessed with it in my fics. (Well, I would be too. X3) And Sho's so cute when he hugs Kei's pillow! (squeals like a stupid fangirl)
It's all just fluff, I'M SORRY. DON'T THROW THINGS AT ME! (dodges a snowball) Pfft. It won't be rated R (or M, whatever) until (most likely) the last chapter. Hence the title is INNOCENCE (but it won't stay innocent for long. XD) Besides. It's not even winter. It's far from it! It's about 95 out right now. Luckily I'm in my air conditioned house. XD Where I usually am. So review AND DON'T THROW THINGS AT ME!
