I feel so bad for sum reason. Im feeling really bad lately. Is it depression again?
Yusuke/Kurama
Emotion
Kurama never thought he'd seen a more emotional person. Yusuke wore his heart on his sleeve, as some would say. You could always tell if he was mad or happy or sad. Only one look could tell. Kurama would spend hours just staring at him from the safety of trees and other things to hide behind.
He didn't think the detective saw him or sensed him. Too dense. But Kuwabara did. Kuwabara always did. The tall youth would glance briefly at where ever the fox was concealed and smirk. Yusuke would always look too, a puzzled expression on his face, clearly thinking his best friend nuts. Then Kurama would scowl and change positions. Youko (Youko, Yoko. I DON'T care!) hated everyone and everything. Kurama only hated Kuwabara. At least during these moments.
It was during a hot summer day that things spiraled out ofcontrol. (Least I'D like to think so)
Kurama was always watching, staring at his comrade. His facial expressions were a wonder to him. Such emotion and passion from one boy. The redhead tuned out Kuwabara and focused on Yusuke. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Today the two friends were in a fast-food restaurant, seated by the window. (Kuwabara did it to MOCK him! He just KNEW IT!)
He couldn't really hear what they were saying and he couldn't read lips well.
From the comfort of the bushes the redhead watched as Yusuke tilted his head back and let out a beautiful laugh he couldn't hear, but had heard so many times it was as if he could hear it. Kuwabara said something else and chuckled. His obsession let out another howl of laughter.
Kurama noted with delight how the detective's face changed. Yusuke had a disgusted look etched in his face at the sight of his friend's meal, but it melted away into a smirk as he stole a fry. Kuwabara yelled at him and Yusuke smiled, clearly not scared or upset, just amused and content with himself.
Kurama sighed. Yusuke had so many emotions, so many faces. So hard to count them all, but he did. And he kept track. He didn't know whether to feel proud with himself at such an accomplishment, or disgusted and ashamed at his obsession.
He chose the former. Easier on the brain. So busy in his own mind, he didn't notice that Kuwabara and Yusuke were leaving.
Being the fox that he is he caught their scent and followed them to the park. The demon let out a small dreamy sigh from within the tree he took refuge in. The black haired boy had a small smile on his face and his cheeks were pink. His fingers were twisting around each other as he walked next to Kuwabara. He was nervous but happy.
"What the hell are you doing?" the intruder put a hand over the red head's mouth to deafen the scream. Hiei! Sneaky bastard! Removing his hand, the fire demon repeated the question. "Nothing" the taller replied. Hiei gave him The Look. "Bullshit. Why were you staring at Urameshi and the idiot?" Blushing hotly at being caught Kurama stuttered, "Cause I can. Why are you here?"
Kurama couldn't tell if he was going crazy or if Hiei really was blushing. "Cause I can too!"
"…"
"…"
"Works for me"
"Yeah me too"
Both demons turned to stare at the two best friends sitting on the park bench. Just sitting and staring at the sky, smiling at something deep within. Hiei shifted. "Why are you really here?"
Kurama glanced his way. "Cause I need to do something" He saw Hiei's hand clench slightly. "Are you in love or something? Who is it?" Blushing Kurama muttered "It's no one!" Hiei shifted again, more stiffly this time. "Is it Kuwabara?"
Kurama lifted an eyebrow at this. Interesting much? He smirked. "Yes," he drawled. "I love Kuwabara very much" He noted with satisfaction how Hiei's hands clenched and unclenched. "Really?" Hiei said in a strained tone. "How come?"
Kurama searched for an excuse. He pretended they were talking about Yusuke. "I don't know really. Kuwabara is just everything I could ever want. He's the one for me. Why? Do you love him?" Kurama's voice was slow and dripped with sweetness. Hiei gritted his teeth.
"Kuwabara is a slow and incompetent fool! I could never love him in any way, shape or form. If you want to infect yourself with stupid then go ahead!" (Oh god. I LOVE this phrase! I'm gonna use it A LOT A LOT A LOT!)
A gasp was heard from down below. All they saw was Kuwabara and Yusuke staring back into their eyes. The tallest of them put his head down and ripped his arm from Yusuke's. "Kuwabara…" The teen fled. Yusuke didn't even try to go after him.
His face was sad. Pale cheeks and a frown that would be permanent if it got any deeper. Then the detective turned to glare full blast at Hiei. His anger and sadness swirling in his aura, making him fiery. A rustle was all Kurama heard. Hiei was gone. Idiot, it was so obvious about how he felt about the tallest member of their team, and vice versa.
Kurama jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Yusuke. No need to hide now. They were silent for along time.
"Do you…do you really love Kuwa?" The question from silence startled the fox demon. He blinked and blinked again. "No I don't. I was only kidding" He noted with glee, the relief and happiness in Yusuke's eyes. His cheeks returned to their pink color.
"So…"
"Yeah…"
Yusuke turned the other way and held out his arms, as if welcoming the sun into his soul.
Kurama stared and stared. Simply beautiful.
"I hear you like staring at me" Kurama sputtered.
"Wh-where'd you hear that?
"Kuwa told me. And for the record I like you a lot"
Kurama found himself speechless. Yusuke turned around and winded his arms around Kurama's neck. "I hate dancing around the subject. " 'specially when its me"
Kurama leaned down for a kiss, he knew wouldn't be rejected. He briefly wondered how his friends were making out.
"It would seem so"
