I'm back!
Adriel: Save us
Kelsey: I hate you.
I know!
Kurama couldn't believe what was going on. Okay, brief recap: he woke up late, couldn't find Hiei and now Yusuke and Kuwabara were at his front door, Hiei being dragged by them because he was unconscious. He sighed. "What happened?" he asked. Yusuke looked sheepishly. "Well, Kuwabara-" He got elbowed in the ribs by said person.
"Me! You wanted to have Hiei read Keiko's mind and damaged him for life!" the taller teen yelled. Kurama blinked. "What damage?" he asked calmly. "Uh...this girl was walking with Keiko and saw Hiei. She had some...rather kinky thoughts. Hiei has yet to recover." Yusuke replied gravely.
Kurama sweat-dropped. "I'm sure he'll be fine, Yusuke." the red-head said. Yusuke shrugged. "I dunno if that's possible." he muttered. They handed Hiei to Kurama and went on their merry way. Kurama sighed as he put Hiei on the couch. Luckily his mother wasn't home. Something about going overtime.
Kurama sighed agin, muttering about never helping any more experiments and went to make breakfast. He had finished his waffles (AN: yum!) when Hiei woke up. "Hello Hiei." Kurama greeted happily, amused by the groggy look on Hiei's face. The dark-haired boy 'hn'ed as he sat down across from him.
After they both ate, Kurama suggested that they go do something. Hiei shrugged. "Okay." he muttered. They went outside, Hiei thinking to himself. 'These feelings are early... Does that mean I like Kurama?' He looked over at him. 'He's perfect. He's smart, gorgeous, lean yet muscular. But...what does Kurama feel for me?'
He was brought out of his thoughts when Kurama waved his hand in his face. "Hiei, are you okay? You zoned out on me." Kurama said, concerned. "Hey, Kurama?" Hiei whispered. "Yes?" "What do you think of me?" That made Kurama do a double take. "What do you mean?" he asked. Hiei looked hesitant. "I mean, like do you feel anything for me?" he whispered, his hair shading his face.
"Well, you're my best friend." Kurama pointed out. "Besides that." Hiei said sharply. Kurama gulped. 'What did he think of Hiei? He did always get the butterflies in his stomach when he was around,' Kurama blushed. 'I'm...in love with him?' Kurama's eyes widened at that. Was he truly in love with his best friend? He noticed Hiei was waiting for an answer.
That made his blush deepen. "Uh...well, I...I think..." Hiei sighed. "Kurama, I like you. A lot. At first I thought it would go away, but I see that it's not going to." Kurama stared in shock but he wasn't finished. "I always hated it when all those females always followed you around because I'd get jealous...And I was afraid that you'd hate me."
The experiment took a deep breathe. He refused to meet Kurama in the eye. The red-head was in shock. Hiei was in love with him? Hiei saw that Kurama wasn't going to say anything so he took it as a rejection. He could feel his eyes burning. He didn't know why but he knew it was about the painful knot in his stomach.
He began to walk away when he felt a hand grab his should and spin him around. He was about to asked why when he felt Kurama's lip's crash into his own.
