Disclaimer - Nope…don't own it…dang it.

AN - SinceI don't know if we can answer to reviews, or whatever, so I'll just write a Author Note. Yay! Anyway, after reading the reviews I kinda saw that Suguru was Tohma's clone, but I guess I had sorta forgotten about that tiny detail...heh... Oh, well, what's done is done. I dunno why I forgot, don't ask, it's weird... But, I might make my next story Taki/Su, because it's cute and well, unlike some others, I really can't see Su being Seme and Taki being Uke, but I guess that's just me. And if you actually read this...wow...you're so nice! Anyway, on with the story!

Summary - The first encounter of Suguru and Tatsuha and what happened in the years after.

Pairing - Slight Tatsuha / Suguru, but only if you want it to be. I went with more of a friendship approach.

The Years Past - Suguru and Tatsuha

Chapter Two

…Two Years Later…

A cautious glance to the left and a cautious glance to the right, and there, he ran across the green yard, taking special care not to be seen. Once at the door, he snuck a glance at the second story first window and was relieved to find it closed. Smirking, knowing that his prey had no idea he was there, he took his spare key and opened the door, taking off his shoes as he did so.

No one seemed to be downstairs, good, and the only sound he could hear was the soft music of the piano. So, with another cautious glance into every room he passed, he headed towards the stairs, sidestepping all the creaky parts of the floor, until finally he reached his destination.

The stairs; the bane of his existence. This was the hard part, this was where his prey caught him and they went tumbling down, shrieking. But, this time he was not going to let that happen. So, he slowly inched up the stairs, eyeing the seventh and eighth ones with a suspicious eye. They were the ones that squeaked and he was sad to say his legs weren't long enough to jump over both. Though he worked out one thing, stepping to the farthest right of the seventh one and the farthest left of the next, he passed the evil; successful.

Sighing, he now had no reason to worry and he walked leisurely to the room he'd entered many times before in the last two years. Opening the door slowly, making sure it wouldn't squeak as many of the other things in the house did, he slipped in, leaving the door open.

And now, he had him in his sights and he inched closer…and closer…and now-

"Hey Tats-kun."

…Mission 'Scare Suguru on the 159th try - Failed.

"Aww…man! Sugu-chan! Can't you even pretend to be scared, just once!" Tatsuha asked, holding up a finger for emphasis as he took a seat on the piano…bench…thing, beside Suguru, only he was facing the other way. "…Well?" Tatsuha asked when the only sound that reached his ears was the of the piano.

"…Yeah, right." Suguru muttered, eyes closed as a small smile came to his face.

"Wha! Sugu-chan! You're so mean!" Tatsuha whined loudly, fake tears forming in his eyes.

Suguru didn't even falter, in expression or piano playing. "Coming from the guy that comes to scare me in the middle of my piano practice, when he knows he's not allowed."

"Well…I…uh…wanted to give you some company!"

"I don't need any company." Suguru replied, a small smirk coming into play. "Especially from an idiot like you!"

Tatsuha glared. "Hey, just because Eiri and Mika got all the brains of the family, doesn't mean you can blame me." He retorted as he turned his back on the other, crossing his arms in a pout.

Suguru only chuckled. "Right…"

…

…

Tatsuha snuck a glance toward the young pianist and saw, just like every time before, that Suguru was also staring. Smiling brightly, he turned back around and hugged the boy around the waist, allowing Suguru to continue playing. Suguru touched his head to Tatsuha's and knew the other was pleased, especially when the other squealed, quite girlishly, might I add.

But they remained silent, only the beautiful notes of the piano echoing across the near-empty room. Then, like always, Tatsuha's eyes became heavy, him having just come from school and before long, he found himself laying on the piano bench, head on the elder's lap, facing the piano.

His arms still around Suguru's waist, he looked up at his friend with half-lidded eyes. "Sugu-chan?" He asked, a bit softer than normal.

Suguru nodded.

"You know I love you…right?"

He was greeted with a grin and an energetic nod.

"Yay…" And then, he fell asleep.

And that is how it was when both were seven. Don't they just wanna make you go 'aww'.

To Be Continued

AN - That was pretty pointless, wasn't it? Yeah…thought so. Don't be afraid to tell me that, but still, it was sorta cute, right? ...No. It gets a semi-plot soon, don't worry, and when I say semi-plot, I seriously mean a very small plot. Pathetic, I know...
