Alright another chapter coming, I felt obligated to update more quickly since people are so nice and reviewing…though I don't think a lot of people like this fic because the first chapter has so many hits while the other two are…yea, so that means people are just reading the first chapter and deciding that they don't like it and not reading the other chapters…I think. Oh well! I love all of you who read and review so I'm going to continue.
Reviewer Response (are we really not supposed to be doing this?):
KousukeAsazuki: I love you too! I can't help but advertise your stories because they're so awesome! Haha, yes, the fangirls do need to have leashes when around Eyes. And I'm sorry for just leaving it there like that . But here, read this fic and feel better!
Honey bunny boo: Must save the kittens! So I'll update! You're fic is sooo cute hehheh, we all know that Rio adores Eyes! BK? Burger King?
CeTe: Thanks, I'm really trying to keep everyone in character, it means a lot to me when you say that I am. So here's your update!
Prosperpina: Haha, yea, I like this pairing too. And thanks for agreeing with me, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks for liking my fic so far. I hope I don't disappoint you later, which I might because I'm horrible in multi-chapter fics.
On with the fic! (I think something might actually happen this time)
Ayumu POV
"Ayumu!" Madoka whined at her silent brother in law.
"What is it?"
"You've been staring into space while I was talking to you. Were you even listening to me?"
"…Not really…But I will now. What were you talking about?"
At this, the female detective perked up and shoved a food magazine in the younger one's face and exclaimed "Make this for dinner for me tonight!"
I closed my eyes, sighed and conceded "Fine Madoka, I'll make it. Just get that book out of my face." Madoka however had stopped listening to me after the word 'fine' and had already ran off skipping and singing "Chazuke! Chazuke for dinner!"
I shook his head and decided to go shopping in order to cook the dish that Madoka had spontaneously decided to have for that night.
I admit I was like a robot as I walked to the store, shopped, and paid. I was merely going through the motions while my mind was occupied on something else. Specifically on someone else.
Eyes
What was he doing right now? Is he thinking of him like I am him? Ayumu sighed. Madoka was right. I was most definitely not thinking about what she was saying. I just can't stop thinking of him! That time when he clasped my arm back in the hotel room…did it mean anything?
Oh how Ayumu wanted it to mean something.
So lost in his thoughts while walking home, Ayumu barely registered a loud honking noise before seeing a flash of silver before everything went black.
Eyes POV
I can't believe those fools. I was, of course, referring to my crazy stalker fans. To think that a pair of sunglasses, a hat, and a coat that is not the color of black tricked them I thought with relief. As I walked down the street, people barely registered me, which is exactly what I wanted; a peaceful walk without anyone annoying my for an autograph or a date.
The reason for my stroll was to get out of the stuffy hotel room and get some fresh air to think clearly. I was still reeling over my actions three days ago when I stopped Ayumu from leaving.
Why? Why did I do that? Three days and I still have yet to figure that out. Moreover, why do I cherish the warmth that I feel when I touch him.
Unconsciously, I clenched my fists in frustration. I couldn't understand anything that was happening. I was snapped out of my dazed thoughts and looked up when I heard a loud honking noise.
That person…!
Ayumu!
Ayumu POV
I groaned.
When my mind came to some semblance of clarity, I realized I was laying on something semi soft.
Ugh. What happened? Why is it so dark?
I soon realized that the reason it was so dark was that I had yet to open my eyes. I opened them quickly but everything was blurry, so I closed them and shook my head in the hopes that it would clear my vision. I then slowly opened my eyes and what I saw was like a punch in the stomach.
Eyes!
I couldn't believe it. It was Rutherford. An unconscious Rutherford.
Eyes was here right in front of me…or rather right under me. I decided to ignore our compromising position in favor of trying to wake him to see what happened.
Other than a silent groan, I had no luck.
I shifted Eyes onto my lap and lifted his head and then looked around.
I noticed that we were on the bottom of an incline. We must have fallen down or something. Think Ayumu! What happened before I blacked out!
Then I remembered. A truck, me not paying attention, a loud honking noise, and a flash of silver as it came towards me.
Eyes…saved me? There isn't any other explanation. Eyes must have pushed me out of the way just in time and we must have rolled down the small hill on the side of the hill.
I blushed as I remembered the position I had woken up in. It had felt…nice.
My daydream was halted as I heard another groan and then I remembered where I was and looked down. Eyes was waking up.
"Eyes!"
Eyes tried to sit up and were I not holding him, I wouldn't have noticed the almost imperceptible wince that he made as he got up. I stopped him from moving anymore by clasping both his shoulders "Eyes, don't move, you could be hurt somewhere"
"Hn…" was my only verbal response. My other response was the immediate removal of himself from my embrace. I watched as Rutherford stood up without a hitch and after a moment, I stood up as well.
I opened my mouth. I felt I had to say something so I said the first thing that came to mind…
Eyes POV
"You saved me…" was what Narumi otouto said to me as we stood standing in silence for a minute or so. I didn't know what to say so I just inclined my head in reply.
"Why?"
Why? What kind of question is that? I wanted to ask him if he was dense, wanted to ask if he would just stand by and let someone be hit by a car.
"…" I didn't say anything and turned to walk away, and I would have were it not for a hand that had attached itself to my arm.
I had an odd sense of déjà vu. It was just like three days ago but our positions were reversed, I was the one walking away and he was the one begging silently for the other to stay.
When I was unconscious, I had felt a warmth encompass me. It was the same warmth I felt when Ayumu kissed me, the same warmth when I held his arm, and the same warmth as he grasped my arm now.
I was afraid to admit it. But I liked it. I liked that warmth. Yet, I didn't like it. It was too unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. This warmth wasn't unlike a warmth I had felt before. This confusion worried me. I am Eyes Rutherford and I am never confused.
I had to get away; I felt trapped, so I shrugged out of the young Narumi's grasp and walked away without even looking at him.
Alpha2nd: GAH! I really have no idea what I'm doing! Well…I have some idea, just not a very good one. I might rewrite this chapter, but probably not because I'm so lazy. I'm trying to be more like KousukeAsazuki and write long and good chapters, but for me, its either or neither, so I'm sorry . I'm sorry to cut it off here but you'll see Ayumu's reaction, as well as the fate of his groceries, in the next chappie. Also more on Eyes' thoughts on saving Ayumu. And yes, when he's walking away, Eyes is walking back up the hill to the street.
Chazuke is a bowl of cooked rice with green tea and other ingredients, for example, salmon or tarako (cod roe) added to it. It is a suitable dish for using left over rice. I just chose something random…and Japanese.
