Chapter 2: Runaway
Ryou burst out onto the street and looked around. He needed to find Masaya. 'That stupid ass is going to get the beating of a lifetime.' He thought.
'Why? Because you actually liked the kiss? You just want to find him to confess how much you love him.' Ryou stopped, the voice inside his head so calm it could be called icy. Ryou pondered this for a moment. Was he really mad? No, he was just shocked to wake up after a lip lock with a boy.
He looked around calmly. His eyes widened. Masaya was running towards the park. He sprinted after him, thanking the fact he had his cat-like grace.
"Masaya!" He called, his voice void of all emotion. Masaya turned around and was shocked. Ryou had caught up to him before he could leave.
"One question. Answer it." Ryou said pressing his finger against Masaya's lips to silence him. Masaya nodded, his face red, eyes full of fear.
"Why?" Ryou asked, searching Masaya's eyes. His gaze shifted between them and the people passing by. He slowly let his hand drop from Masaya's lips, allowing him to speak.
"I don't know…I had a strange urge to feel your hair and you kinda' rolled over…" Masaya said sheepishly, looking away from Ryou's searching blue eyes. He looked down at the ground, hoping that he wasn't as red as he thought he was.
Ryou studied his face. It was a bright red. "You…you're lying. Your face is red. That isn't all."
Masaya looked up at him shocked. Did he know what had urged him to do it? Did he see through his lie?
"…I wasn't thinking straight. I wanted to feel your hair, and another thing, and next thing I knew we were in a lip lock." Masaya said, not wanting to reveal the thought he had about the boy's lips.
Ryou closed his eyes and sighed. "I probably don't want to know, but what was the other thing?" Masaya tensed and Ryou regretted ever asking.
"You're lips…looked soft." Masaya whispered. Ryou looked at him confused.
"What?"
"Your lips looked soft, and I wanted to see if they were." Masaya sighed, Ryou staring at him wide-eyed.
He searched Masaya's face curiously. "But, you like Ichigo." He said slowly. Masaya's eyes softened.
"Yeah…but I was wrong." Masaya clapped a hand over his mouth and looked at Ryou. He just told the blonde he liked him.
"Really. Go figure." Ryou said, removing Masaya's hand from his mouth. Masaya looked shocked, and Ryou couldn't help but smile a bit.
Ryou leaned forward and placed a small hesitant on his lips. Masaya was shocked, but pleased.
"Ryou? Masaya!" Ryou and Masaya broke apart and gasped. Ichigo was standing only a few feet away.
"How could you? With my boss?" Ichigo said stunned. She angrily looked at Ryou. "With my boyfriend?" She looked at them both horrified. "With each other? With a guy!"
Masaya turned away ashamed. He couldn't explain that he was leaving her for her MALE boss. Ryou on the other hand, smirked.
He looked straight at Ichigo, no shame at all. "So? What, you can't stand to see your boyfriend leave?" Ryou said with his smug I-love-it-when-you-don't-get-your-way look. Ichigo stared at him horrified.
"To a guy yes. And I don't want to be called the girl who turned Masaya into a Homo!" She said, her face red. With anger or embarrassment, Ryou could not tell. Perhaps it was both.
"You didn't turn him into a gay. I did." He said, wrapping an arm around Masaya's waist and pulling him closer. 'Yep, he's mine. Get over it.'
Masaya looked over at her then Ryou, but he didn't move. Ichigo blinked stunned. Masaya could tell that was a big blow.
"You…did? But…I thought you liked…" Ichigo mumbled, her face suddenly pale.
Ryou smirked. "What? Liked you? Nah, I've been like 'this' since my mom and dad died. Keiichiro was kept around to amuse me as well as take care of me." Ryou sighed, wondering how Masaya kept his hair so well kept. His was constantly getting mussed.
"What? Does he know that? How could you be so mean? How could you be gay? Is that why you wouldn't give my friend the time of day?" She wondered, half amused, half angry.
"No, because I can, because I have the right to be, and yes. You are the winner! Would you like a cookie or a medal?" He said sarcastically, unknowingly stroking Masaya's hair.
"Both and stop." She said, full of confusion. Ryou looked at her innocently.
"Stop what?" He asked honestly, not realizing what he was doing. Masaya honestly didn't care. In fact, he liked Ryou's caressing.
"You're patting my boyfriend!" She spat, pointing at Masaya. Ryou looked over at him shocked, then grinned. He could use this as an advantage.
"Your boyfriend? I believe that he's already taken. By me. Hah. Deal with it." Ryou said possessively, resting his head on Masaya's. Ichigo was to shocked to do anything. She ran away, tears down her face.
"Ichigo!" Masaya said suddenly, starting after her. He was stopped wen Ryou grabbed his arm lightly.
"Let her go. Besides, she's not good enough. Let's go get some ice cream. It'll help." He said softly, not wanting to lose him.
"Okay…" Masaya said, turning to walk at Ryou's side. He let his head rest on Ryou's shoulder lightly. They walked off discussing ice cream flavors.
NOTE: Yay! I finally got the buzz I needed to finish. I used anime songs instead of Maroon 5. Makes the writing better. The songs (If you want to listen to them when you read…) were: Byakuya-True Light from DNAngel, White Destiny from Pretear, and Take My Revolution from Revolutionary Girl Utena
