A/N: i dreamed about yuki! i dunno where this is going to get me! thank you all for reviewing yay!
Chapter 9:
"Ok…so I will come and get you today. Don't worry usagi, it's only a few hours…then we'll go for some ice cream…Yuki's coming to. You'll have fun! I loved my first day of school!" Shuichi pushed away his memory of his first day of school which had been disastrous!
Wan nodded looking at the other children big eyed. Someone tugged at his pristine white shirt. It was Hikari. "Come on! I want to go see the other children! They might like you!" Wan took her hand after hugging Shuichi goodbye and disappeared into the crowd.
His classroom was very big and colorful. Kids sat in little groups playing games, painting, and pretty much doing whatever they felt like. Hikari pulled him over to a group near the Lego box. They were all building some kind of train station. He smiled at them a little hesitantly. One of them had a Bloopy keychain (by the way Bloopy was aired in Japan too!). "Hi I'm Wan! Do you like Bloopy?"
The kid nodded. He had red hair and big grey eyes. "Yeah, I like Bloopy! He's my most favorite thing in the world!" Wan's heart leaped! The boy had an English accent! "Are you from England?" the kid nodded and smiled.
"I'm from London. We moved here because dad got a job and I like it here, though I don't know the language!" the kid sounded too old for his age. "I'm Ralph Everett. What do you want to play?"
"Let's build something." Wan picked up the Lego and they started building a small city with it. After about half an hour, the teacher gathered them all on the carpet and told them a story. Today's story was Chicken Little. Wan didn't like it very much. He confided to Ralph that he found the story fit for babies!
The break they had was fun. They all went out and played dodge ball, which Ralph won the first time and Wan won the next. Hikari kept getting hit all the time and it was fun to watch it. After break they went back to learn the 'sight words' as the teacher called them. Ten there was a small nap time in the afternoon, after which they learned simple addition. Then was milk and cookies time and at last it was time to go home.
Wan introduced Ralph to Shuichi with pride. He'd made a really nice friend on his first day! Shuichi was pretty impressed actually, considering he only made friends with Hiro on his second day…it wasn't that he hadn't tried to make friends, but his awesome plans had backfired!
----------------------------------
Yuki waited at the mall's ice cream store impatiently, when were they coming? He didn't want to admit it himself, but he was waiting to hear how Wan's first day was…his first day had been the best school day in his life, after that it was all not worth remembering. At last he saw them walking up towards him. Wan bounded into his arms and smothered him with a hug.
"Yuki! I love school! But I wish you could join me there, and then we could make stories at playtime!" Wan smiled into his friends face! Yuki smiled back.
"You can still make stories with other kids, they'll like it don't you think?" but Wan shook his head. "Nah! You and I make stories Yuki. I don't want to make stories with anyone else!"
Shuichi smiled and went to get the ice creams. It felt nuts being close to Yuki and having to put on a nice friends act. He ordered a banana split for himself, strawberry chocolate for Wan and a chocolate chip sundae for Yuki. Yuki and Wan were taking excitedly as he approached them. "…and Hikari kept getting hit, she can't play dodge ball for nuts! Ralph and me won today. I like Ralph; he's a lot of fun! He's coming home on the weekend, he can meet you…but I'll play with him after spending time with you."
"You mean, Ralph and I…you don't usually say Ralph and me!" Yuki corrected him gently. "Anyway, I'd like to meet your Ralph friend. He sounds nice." He looked at Shuichi and smiled. "Thanks…my favorite! Anyway, mighty father what do you think of Wan's first day at school? You think he'll become naughty anytime at school?"
Shuichi smiled back. "I don't know…I was never naughty, just destructive. We'll have to see, but Wan I really don't want to have to face your teachers about you being naughty!"
Wan looked at him solemnly. "I won't daddy! You know I won't!" Yuki laughed suddenly. "It's ok to be naughty Wan. Just do a little of it. otherwise you'll turn into a study worm, like jack in all work and no play made jack a dull boy."
"Yeah! Very well for you to be telling my son to be naughty! You won't be there to take care of him when he turns into a monster!" Shuichi whined. Suddenly Wan looked at Yuki. "I wish you lived at our house! Then you could be there too and I could be naughty!"
Yuki made the mistake of looking into Shuichi's eyes and couldn't break away from that gaze. Shit! The kid had a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong moment! Shuichi suddenly looked away freeing Yuki. Wan said something about getting some chocolate chips for his ice cream and walked towards the counter.
"Ah…so how was your day, Yuki?" Shuichi asked his voice slightly higher than normal. Yuki replied that it was fine and the silence stretched between them like a gulf. Then Wan came back and clambered into his chair, sprinkling generous amounts of the chips onto his ice cream.
-------------------------------------
I wish you lived at our house! Then you could be there too and I could be naughty…Yuki tried to get that voice out of his head. He wished he had never met Wan in a way…then he wouldn't be this confused. It seemed that Wan came as a package with Shuichi and the Shuichi part couldn't be removed. Friends…he laughed hollowly. He couldn't believe he'd suggested that they be friends! Friends didn't feel like kissing the life out of each other! Friends didn't think about sex with the other all the time. He smiled to himself. Heck yeah! Wan I wished I stayed at your house too! But it'll hurt too much and Shuichi deserves someone better…
