Disclaimer: I don't own it. ... yeah.

This is sorta... hehe randomness... It's sort of stupid, but anyway Tatsuki tells Kotarou about his ESP. Yep. Enjoy... and review.

I'm dirty

"I'm dirty," Those were the first words out of his mouth. I'm dirty…what did he mean by that? Whatever it was, Tatsuki looked horrible! But even if I said anything… he'd probably shove me off… like he… usually does.

Strangely, Tatsuki slipped his hand up on my cheek, staring me deep into the eyes. Something about his face looked as though he had been relieved or something… why would he be relieved to see me? The stupid ass never cared about me before.

"Tak… Tak-kun?" Kotarou hadn't meant to say it like that… but he did. Looking up at his cousin, he saw tears.

"Kota…" Tatsuki grabbed Kotarou's arm, forcing him flat against his chest as he clung to him, crying into his hair.

Surprised, Kotarou couldn't move for a few moments. Since when did Tatsuki even want to touch him, nonetheless hug him…?

"Kotarou, oh Kotarou!" Yuuto bounced happily up the hallway towards his best friend's room.

Kotarou put down his magazine, still somewhat startled about the events of the morning and looked at Yuuto, "Hey."

"What's wrong with my little angel?" Yuuto sat beside him. "I can tell there's something bothering you… talk to Yuuto!"

"Mm…" Kotarou stared intently at the blanket… should he tell him? No, Yuuto would probably laugh and make a joke out of it… or would he? Despite his usual letch attitude, Yuuto was a gentle person deep down, "Tatsuki."

"Did he hurt you again?" Yuuto looked worried.

"No. He…" Kotarou was cut off by Tatsuki slamming open Kotarou's bedroom door and yelling for him to get off his ass and follow him.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Yuuto shouted, and Tatsuki and Kotarou disappeared into Tatsuki's room. "Guys!"

&&&&&

"It's called ESP, you idiot." Tatsuki was trying his best to keep his calm as he explained his power to Kotarou. He didn't know why, but he wanted to. He had decided it was time.

"I know what it's called! What the hell is it?" Kotarou shouted.

"It allows me to see the past… that's why I can always find you. I don't know why but when I touch you it makes the past clearer, making things easier to solve." Tatsuki explained. "I didn't want to tell you because… I don't know… I blamed you for giving me this power…"

"That's why we lost touch…" Kotarou looked at the floor. "Tak-kun… earlier you… hugged me…"

"Yeah, what of it?" Tatsuki stepped slightly closer. He wanted to bridge the gap that had so quickly formed between them.

"I… I liked it… I want you to… do it more often…" Kotarou shifted uneasily. Now would be the right time for Tatsuki to yell at him and kick him from his room in such a hurry Kotarou wouldn't be able to figure out what happened.

Without a word, Tatsuki scooped him up in his arms again, holding him even tighter. He closed his eyes, blocking out any images he might see…

"Tak-kun!" Kotarou shouted, his voice muffled by Tatsuki's chest. He clung to him desperately. He wanted this so bad…

"Kota… Kota I love you…" Tatsuki said shakily. "I love you, Kota."

"Hn, so the lovebirds finally make up," Yuuto's voice sounded from the doorway. Kotarou jumped at him first, "You little Letch! Get the hell away from me!"

Yuuto did his usual smothering of Kotarou and said sarcastically, "Oh? Did you want me to give you some private time?" He winked.

"YOU ASS!" Kotarou ran after him, chasing him around the house. "Get over here!"

Thanks. Tatsuki thought to himself, amused by the scene before his eyes, for accepting me.
