Man have I got a chapter planned for you. You guys deserve it, since we had around thirteen people review:)! Have fun! And yes, this is a hell of a long chapter.
"How is it that we all end up at the same movie?"
Zelos had begun to pout, glancing down the row. Amazingly, the row consisted of the two, quiet freshmen, Efreet, and at the far end Martel and Yuan. But Kratos was in a corner in the back of the theater. He was keeping to himself, and Zelos couldn't help but spare a glance over at his so called 'best friend'. Sheena poked Zelos in the shoulder stubbornly.
"Well, the others decided to go to the movie we were, seeing we're supposed to be here on a triple date. And for that Yuan kid? Kratos says he's a major Tom Hanks fan.." Sheena spoke, sweat rolling down her face. Zelos puffed out his cheeks irritably, before crossing his arms and starring ahead at the black screen, just waiting.
"Kratos hates Tom Hanks," Zelos noted. Sheena furrowed her eyebrows and let out a soft giggle. Zelos glanced back over at her bearing his usual 'What's so funny now?' look. Sheena shook her head, now bearing a grin.
"It's just funny how you know so much about him. Now come on and stop being so uptight. I mean, this is our first date since we've gotten back together. You should be happy," Sheena spoke, nudging Zelos in the arm again. All Zelos could do was sigh. It was true, he did like Sheena and all, but Kratos kept flashing through his mind. Nothing mattered to him unless it had something to do with Kratos.
"I'll try," Zelos spoke and then stood up for a moment from his seat. "I'm going to get us some popcorn and soda, my treat," Zelos offered. Sheena flashed him a smile before he made his way to the row. He made sure Sheena wasn't watching before he made his way up the row to where Kratos sat. It took the other auburn hair teen a moment to glance over at Zelos.
"Zelos?" Kratos asked, a little stunned that he had taken the time to notice him.
"What's with Mr. Popular sitting in the corner all by himself? Couldn't find yourself a date?" Zelos joked, standing in front of the chair next to Kratos. It took Kratos a few moments to glance back up at Zelos nervously.
"I'm just here by request of Yuan's mom," Kratos grumbled, glancing over at Martel who was in the heat of a conversation with Yuan. It seemed like she was trying to get to know the boy. Why was it that when Kratos finally started seeing the good in him, everyone else had to?
"Are you jealous?" Zelos suddenly asked, sitting down next to him.
"Of what?" Kratos asked, leaning his chin into his elbow tiredly. Zelos smirked casually and placed his hands behind his head and lounged backwards.
"You know, me and Sheena, Yuan and soon to be Martel, Lloyd and Colette, it seems like everyone is pairing up expect you," Zelos spoke. Kratos blinked a few times before turning away. He wasn't jealous, right? There was no possible way that he could be jealous over some ever day pairings. There was no need to.
And more importantly, he shouldn't be jealous over some boy. A boy whom he had just met days before. A boy, a person of the same gender. A boy who was completely out of his league.
A boy he was forced to befriend.. no, he couldn't possibly be jealous.
"Does it look like I care that everyone is dating?" Kratos answered, taking a sip of his Pepsi.
"Well, even though you've neglected the fact, I want to remind you of it. You can always call or hang out with me. Just because we're not together, doesn't mean it's over forever. And we're still best friends. Who else will be my counterpart for scheming?" Zelos smiled weakly, looking over at Kratos.
"Hmm, thanks. almost had forgotten," Kratos answered weakly before Zelos arose from his seat.
"I need to get Sheena some popcorn and soda. I'll see you later after the movie," Zelos spoke, sending Kratos a goodbye hand motion with his index finger. Kratos nodded and watched Zelos walk down the theater to the concession stand. Sighing, Kratos spared a glance over at Martel and Yuan.
Either way, this was going to be a late night for a lonely Kratos Aurion.
"So, where did you transfer from?"
Martel was sitting next to Yuan, in the opposite side of the theater, two rows down from where Kratos sat. A look of thought crossed the blunette before he took a large sip of his soda and then smiled back at Martel.
"Granville. It's about an hour away from here," Yuan answered, setting down his beverage in the cup holder. Martel nodded, knowing where the town was. She had been there a few times, mostly for concerts from traveling bands. It also had quite a few high class malls. All in all, Granville was a nice town indeed.
"I've got to ask you, how can you stand every waking moment with Kratos?" Martel giggled innocently. Yuan paused and then arched his eyebrows. She giggled a lot, didn't she? Chewing on his bottom lip, Yuan thought about his answer. It wasn't really a bother spending time with him. It was like Kratos was the brother he never had. Someone he could rely on, even though they had just met.
"It's not that hard," Yuan smiled back weakly, starring up at the black screen. "When are they going to give me my daily serving of Tom Hanks," Yuan pouted.
"Kratos was right, you really love Tom Hanks," Martel spoke, blinking a few times. Was it just her, or did Yuan tend to have an obsession with the actor? Yuan grinned, ear to ear, and then made a triumphant smirk.
"I love Tom Hanks!" He made known, cheering proudly.
"I've never met a guy crazy about Tom Hanks before," Martel noted, pushing her green bangs out of her eyes. Yuan smirked once more, shoveling a pile of popcorn into his mouth.
"Well, now you have!" Yuan spoke, mouth full of popcorn. "Oh, that reminds me," Yuan spoke to Martel, before swallowing the food. "Can you tell me if this handwriting looks familiar?" Yuan asked, taking the card from his pocket and handing it to her.
"Hmm..." Martel took it from Yuan's hand and glanced at the writing. It was a fancy cursive and had a few hearts drawn on to it. Martel starred vaguely at the card before glancing back at the curious fan boy proudly.
"Yeah, she's a junior." Martel spoke, passing the card back to Yuan. It took Yuan a lot of self-restraint not to squeal from glee. Instead, he had hugged the card and then smiled. "Are you okay?.." Martel asked, watching the gleeful boy.
"Sorry, I just want to know who she is! Seeing I want a date to Zelos' New Year's Bash!" Yuan spoke cheerfully. "So can you tell me who she is," Yuan grinned.
"Her name's Sylph, she's sister's with a sophomore named Luna," Martel spoke, as Yuan grinned widely then took a deep breath and quick drink of his beverage.
"Ooh! I know Luna, I met her at the juice bag Kratos works at!" Yuan cheered proudly. Martel nodded and then glanced at the screen. The previews had just begun and the lights began to dim.
"It's starting, so shush," Martel snickered before turning her attention to the screen. After a few previews, and a few minutes into the movie, Tom Hanks had made his appearance in the movie.
"TOM HANKS!"
Martel covered her ears painfully as Yuan screamed. After her shock had passed, she exploded out in laughter along with a few other people in the theater. However, Yuan wasn't over yet.
"Will you marry me Tom Hanks!"
By now Martel was exploding from laughter. Yuan paused and then glanced over at her and whispered.
"Do you think he'll say yes?"
"You're a goof ball," Martel smiled and whispered back. "I'm glad we've found a new addition to our group," And she was speaking from her heart. For just that moment, she had completely forgotten everyone's plan to manipulate Yuan.
"..Idiot" Was all Kratos said, eyes shut tightly as he drifted into sleep.
Once the movie was over, the people filled out rapidly, chanting on about how great the movie was. Sheena and Zelos were the first to leave, along with Colette and Lloyd and Efreet. In fact, Efreet had spent most of his time talking to Colette during the movie. It didn't bother Lloyd that much, but then again, he couldn't hear most of the movie due to their ignorance.
Martel had left after bidding farewell to Yuan, and wishing him luck with Tom Hanks. A moment passed before Yuan walked across the isle, and up the row to where Kratos slept peacefully. He paused, standing right next to the auburn haired teenager. A snicker passed Yuan's lips as he poked Kratos in the arm and whispered into his ears.
"Zelos says he wants you," Yuan spoke jokingly. No response came so Yuan poked him harder. "Kratos, the credits are over. We've got to go home and tell my mom about how great it was," Yuan continued onwards, raising his voice.
"Kratos, wake up!" Yuan demanded.
"Huh?.." Kratos snapped his eyes open and starred at Yuan standing in front of him. Mumbling to himself, Kratos got up and passed down the isle, right past Yuan without saying a word. Yuan starred blankly, and then followed quickly after Kratos.
"Is something wrong?" Yuan asked, walking beside Kratos. Kratos didn't answer as they left the theater and made their way to the exit of the cinema itself. Yuan puffed out his cheeks and continued on. "Are you mad at something? Namely me?"
Kratos had stopped outside the theater, noticing it was pouring outside. Yuan stopped dead in his tracks right next to Kratos. They had no way to get home without walking in the rain. Then again, they could always call Yuan's mom and ask for a ride. But it was Friday and Friday was the night she tended to go off to buy groceries. Curses!
"Kratos, are you going to answer me any time soon?" Yuan asked, frowning slightly. He was starting to miss Kratos' responses. Still no response came from him as he starred at the rain before him. "Come on, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be back home and out of that rain," Yuan spoke. Kratos blinked a few times before glancing at Yuan.
"Can't we call your mom?"
"At the market," Yuan added in disdainfully.
"Does she have a cell phone?" Kratos asked uneasily.
"No, I have her cell phone," Yuan spoke, raising up the phone from his pocket.
"What's wrong, you look really sick."
"I did stay home today, did I not?" Kratos answered, trying not to make eye contact with Yuan. Yuan paused a moment before sighing and then smiling at Kratos.
"Come on, when we get home I'll make some hot chocolate and then we can watch horror movies! Just like a sleep over!" Yuan cheered perkily, trying to raise Kratos' spirits.
"But I'm tired.." Kratos spoke.
"You just slept for two hours. Can you please stay up with me for awhile?" Yuan asked standing before the doors to the cinema.
"I guess," Kratos mumbled and then turned to the doors once more and spoke softly. "As long as I get marshmallows in mine.." Kratos added in with a smirk, stepping out in the rain, and tried to push away any thoughts.
"You don't seem much like a marshmallow kind of person," Yuan noted, as they walked quickly down the road to Odachi drive. It was raining rather hard, and lighting flashed in the distance. Even now, Kratos seemed preoccupied with something, and looked rather pale in the face. "More like a chocolate syrup person," Yuan added in with a smug expression.
"How's about both?" Kratos answered after a few moments, as they turned onto Odachi drive after five minutes of running. Yuan smirked and then shook his head, letting rain fall from his wet hair and fly into the air to mingle with the falling rain.
"You can only have one," Yuan replied.
"If you don't give me both, I might have to ignore you for the rest of your life," Kratos snickered, as they walked up to Yuan's house.
"I'll give that some major thought," Yuan smiled and took out his door key and quickly unlocked the door and let Kratos in. Both teenagers went inside, and he locked the door with a soft click, after both were in side safely. Yuan took off his vest and hung it up on the coat hanger. Kratos took off his black vest also and hung it up alongside Yuan's.
"I'm really tired," Kratos spoke, walking into the living room and instantly plopping down onto the coach. Yuan paused before walking over and leaning against the sofa.
"Come on Kratos, I've got to tell you about my night," Yuan grinned. Kratos glanced over at his younger friend before prompting him to take a seat next to him. "What about the hot chocolate?" Yuan asked, as he sat down nervously.
"It can wait for later," Kratos yawned and then turned to Yuan. "So? Start talking before I fall asleep," Kratos spoke, eyes hanging open weakly. Yuan nodded and began to tell Kratos in detail every thing Tom Hanks did in the movie, and what he and Martel had talked about. Kratos was half paying attention. Once Yuan had finished, Kratos grabbed the blanket off the back of the sofa and draped it over his body.
"Don't fall asleep!" Yuan nudged Kratos in the arm. Kratos glanced at him, letting a yawn escape his lips.
"Then put something on worth watching," Kratos directed. Yuan nodded quickly and sprung up from the sofa and ran over to his movie selection.
"Let's see.." Yuan spoke. "There's Apollo 13..." Yuan began to list off random Tom Hanks movie before Kratos had sneered through the darkness.
"Please, something without Tom Hanks. Maybe a horror movie like you said," Kratos yawned, crossing his arms, clenching the blanket around his body tightly.
"Ok, The Ring it is!" Yuan spoke, grabbing the DVD and shoving it into the DVD player than running into the kitchen. "Hot chocolate is coming!"
"Yea.. yea..." Kratos mumbled, trying to listen to everything Yuan was saying. When Yuan had returned, Kratos had passed out cold onto the sofa, stretched out. Yuan starred blankly at his friend before smirking lightly and setting down Kratos' hot chocolate next to sofa on the table and took out a pencil and wrote down on a scrap piece of paper 'Just Incase you're thirsty for later. Nighty night.' Yuan finished by turning off the TV, and making his way up to his room, holding his hot chocolate in hands and taking a few sips on the walk up.
December 5th
"Kra-tos!"
Yawning a few times, the auburn haired teen slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by Yuan staring down at him. Grumbling, he pulled the blanket tighter around his body and rolled over on the sofa. Yuan made a little pout noise, and then poked Kratos in the arm once more. Kratos, however, tried his best to ignore this action rather than cooperate.
"Come on Kratos! Mom says she'll bring us the carnival today! You want to come?" Yuan spoke, continuously poking Kratos. Kratos lay there for a few moments before pulling the blanket tighter and letting out a yawn.
"Let me give that some serious thought. Wake me in an hour," Kratos murmured, beginning to drift back asleep. Yuan, nevertheless, continued to jab the auburn teen aggressively. It took Kratos a few moments to roll over once more and gaze up irritably at him. "You're really a persistent-" Kratos began.
"Have you ever been to the carnival before?" Yuan asked, swaying on his feet before Kratos. Kratos blinked a few times, still stretched out on the sofa. It took an abundant amount of thought for Kratos to come up with an answer. Once before he had been with his mother and father when they were still together, but after his mother fled, his dad never took his back to the county carnival.
"Does it matter?" Kratos asked, raising an eyebrow and starring diligently at his younger friend. Yuan shook his head violently in a 'Heck Yes' kind of motion before glancing over at the hot chocolate from last night.
"I left you your hot chocolate on the table if you got thirsty," Yuan spoke, smiling slightly. He gazed over and noticed the chocolate was empty. A proud smirk filled Yuan. "Oh! You drank it!" By now Kratos was filled with confusion.
"I didn't drink it," Kratos corrected, sitting up on the sofa and glancing over to the mug. Yuan blinked a few times, picked up the mug, and showed it's empty contents to Kratos eagerly.
"You see? It's empty. You had to have drank it," Yuan sneered happily, and crossed his arms.
"I didn't drink it..." Kratos came again. An instant passed before Yuan slammed down the mug on the table, causing Kratos to fall off the sofa from shock. Starring up at Yuan from the floor, he began to rub his head where he had banged it against the table. "What?"
"Jinks drank it!" Yuan pouted, cheeks turning a dark red.
"Jinks?..." Kratos asked in a mumble, still rubbing his head furiously.
"My cat!" Yuan pouted once more, sitting on the sofa. Kratos watched him and managed to get up on the other half of the sofa alongside him. By now he had noticed Yuan had changed into a new pair of Khaki pants and a dark brown shirt with a black vest over it.
"I didn't know you had a cat.." Kratos answered weakly, starring over at Yuan.
"Jinks!" Yuan called loudly. Kratos watched as an orange tabby marched onto the scene, tail up high. It looked over at Yuan and then jumped into his lap and began to purr increasingly louder. "He's my little baby," Yuan spoke burying his head into the cat's plank of fur.
"Right.." Kratos spoke, unsure what to say about Yuan's affection to his cat. "So, what time did you plan on leaving for the carnival?" Kratos mumbled, yawning once more.
"Maybe right now!" Yuan replied with a large smile. "If we get there now we can have corn dogs and and," Yuan squeaked and began to talk in his obsessing voice, "And then ride the Ferris wheel, and then play games, and then watch the band.." Yuan paused. "And maybe Sylph will be there!"
"Sylph?.." Kratos hated the name of that girl more than anything, seeing that at the beginning of the year, she had the largest crush on him. She was one of those quiet book types, and yet she had a strong stalker side to her. He'd be anywhere, and then presto, Sylph would be there.
"Yeah! Martel told me she's the one that sent me this letter," Yuan chirped, taking out the letter and pushing it in front of Kratos' eyes. The teenager pushed it away and sighed gruffly.
"Are you sure it's legit?" Kratos asked, thinking back to Sylph.
"Kra-tos of course it is! She likes me!" Yuan squeaked. "How can you be so iffy on this! You should be happy for me!" Yuan spoke proudly. "Because the more time I spend with her, the less time you have to spend hosting me around," Yuan added in after a moment.
"And I'm oh so happy for you," Kratos replied gruffly, crossing his arms.
"Can you introduce me at the carnival?" Yuan smiled happily. "And then I want to hang out with Martel for awhile! She's a Tom Hanks fan too!" Yuan cheered, poking Kratos in the arm.
"Is she now?..." Kratos found this hard to believe. All her life Martel had been a die-hard Tom Cruise fan. She'd never really taken a liking in the Tom Hanks side of the realm. Then again, all this talk about Tom Hanks lately was starting to annoy Kratos.
"Yeah! Now please come with me to the carnival?" Yuan pouted, stars seemingly to glitter in his eyes. Kratos paused for a moment, starring at the boy. Sighing, Kratos shook his head in dis-belief, how could he possibly say no to a face like that.
"Fine, but don't expect me to play cupid in your love affairs," Kratos replied gruffly. Kratos turned to his bag he had brought with him when he had came over the day before. "I'm going to get changed, tell your mom I'll meet you guys outside," Kratos mumbled, yawning a bit.
"Ok!" Yuan yelped happily and watched Kratos carrying his small bag down the hall to find the bathroom and get changed. It took Yuan a few moments to take out his card from Sylph and stare down at it. Another moment passed as he stood there, gazing openly at it. "For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this.."
"Yuan, did you get Kratos up yet?" Trienyda had asked, stepping into the room. She was clothed in a red tank top and jeans with a pair of pink sunglasses. Yuan glanced over and nodded sharply.
"Yea, he's changing," Yuan replied cheerfully.
"Now remember, make sure you pay some attention to him. He's taking a lot of his time to make sure you fit in and have a good time here. Don't blow him off for this Sylph and Martel girl." Trienyda warned, passing over to her son.
"I wont. I am planning to take Kratos on the Ferris Wheel," Yuan spoke with a bright smile.
"All right, just make sure you have fun." Trienyda replied, crossing her arms and then uncross them and reach into her jean pocket deeply. She withdrew a postcard and handed it to Yuan. "It came in the mail today, it's for you."
Yuan took the card in his hand. On the front was a beach.. the beach from Granville. Biting down on his lip, he turned the card over and glanced at it and read aloud.
"Dear Yuan, I hope you're having a good time in your new school! My aunt says we might be moving there also! So we'll be in the same school again, isn't that great? Call me sometime, ok? Love, Hiaturio." Yuan's heart dropped. "..."
"That's so sweet of him," Trienyda smiled, bearing that motherly grin.
"Mom, beyond your popular belief, I was not dating him. He was obsessed with me, that's all," Yuan spoke starring over at his mother. "So can you please explain that to Kratos? He thinks I'm gay now..." Yuan mumbled.
"But Yu-" Trienyda began, attempting to argue that point. She, more than anyone, knew that her son had very few interests in girls. And when he did, they tended to never work out.
"It's none of his business, so please mom?" Yuan asked, glancing up at him mother with the same pout he had given Kratos. Trienyda sighed and then nodded her head, falling for Yuan's smile.
"Fine, but I don't see how that'll make a difference." She mumbled and noticed Kratos walking into the room. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a black shirt with red random designs on it. Yuan blinked a few times and then turned away sharply, so not to stare. "Oh, are you ready dear?" She asked Kratos. He gave a distant nod and watched her exit the front door to the car. Kratos paused and glanced over at Yuan who was starring down at his feet.
"What's with you?" Kratos asked, crossing his arms and giving a smug grin.
"N-nothing," Was all Yuan stammered before charging out of the house and out to the car. Kratos only shook his head with a light laugh and passed outside. Maybe, just maybe, today could be a day where he forget about father and his life, and just enjoyed the day for what it was. Just possibly.
"Look Kratos, there it is!"
Eagerly, Yuan pointed out the window to a large Ferris-wheel appearing in the distance. Although his voice seemed eager, it did raise above a small whisper, which was rather odd for the hyperactive blunette. As the car approached, Kratos could make out the dim shapes of some roller coasters, and other attractions. Pausing for a moment, he noticed he could barely see beyond Yuan's head. Grunting, he reached out and pushed Yuan's head aside.
"I can't see through you," Was all Kratos replied with, as the car neared the parking lot. Yuan, however, still didn't turn his eyes to Kratos. And Kratos had noticed this. Furrowing his eyebrows, he poked Yuan in the arm.
"What's wrong with you today?" Kratos asked, crossing his arms and still bearing that smug expression. Yuan's face turned a bright red and he avoided Kratos' gaze. "I've never seen anyone turn that dark of a red within that short of a time," Kratos snorted, grinning. "So are you going to tell me?"
"I'm just sort of excited," Was all the blunette said. Kratos once again arched an eyebrow and then poked Yuan in the arm again.
"You don't blush when you're excited. You go on a psychopathic rage when you're excited," Kratos continued smugly, "So, are you going to tell me or will I be forced to get it out of you?" A snicker passed Kratos' lips.
"I-i no," Yuan replied shortly, still avoiding Kratos' gaze. Pouting softly, Kratos turned away from his younger friend and glared out the window defiantly. It would be another few moments before they had reached their parking spot. Plenty of time to attempt to get any information out of Yuan he possibly could.
"You know, if you don't tell me, once I find out I'll tell the whole school," Kratos sneered. Still, Yuan looked away. "Would you just look at me? Am I that painful to look at?" Through his words, he hid his emotions. He knew, somewhere deep in his heart, every time someone looked at him, they could sense his un-surety and despair. But if only they'd unearth the reasons. If someone would take the time to understand everything about his motions.
"I," Yuan began and looked up at Kratos. Another blush overcame him as he sharply turned his head down to his feet, as his face turned it's darkest shade of red. Kratos blinked a few times.
"What is with you?" Kratos spoke, tilting his head slightly.
"It's nothing, nothing at all," Yuan almost squeaked in-between words. Kratos shrugged his shoulders and noticed Trienyda had begun to pull into a parking spot on the pavement, a few yards away from the entrance to the carnival. It was a good spot, and not a long walk at all.
"Now boys, I'll be here at eleven to pick the both of you up. Now behave," Trienyda instructed, turning around in her front seat to stare down the boys in the back seat.
"We will, Mrs. Sorieku," Kratos nodded affirmatively. Trienyda smiled lightly and then turned to her son who was still blushing deeply.
"Give me your word, Yuan," She spoke, keeping the car doors locked until Yuan had muttered the words ÔI will'.
"Of course, mother," Yuan spoke, trying not to look her in the eye. Trienyda blinked a few times, wondering what had overcome him. Pushing away any confusion, she clicked the unlock button. Kratos pushed open the car door and called back in.
"Thanks again," He said and then began walking to the entrance. However, Yuan sat in the backseat of the car, with the car door open.
"Is something bothering you?" Trienyda asked, glancing back at her son who wasn't budging.
"I'll tell you when I get back home.. I want to be sure," Was all Yuan said before getting out of the car and rushing to the entrance. Trienyda blinked, shrugged her shoulders, and then pulled out of the parking spot and began to make her way back to the house, for a relaxing Saturday with Jinks, and possibly some good day time movies.
"I thought you had fallen into a hole," Kratos spoke, noticing Yuan standing beside him as they walked inside. Yuan, who was still red in the face, could only smile and nod and follow alongside his friend. "Are you going to be like this the whole night?"
"N-no," Yuan stammered again.
"Kratos, Yuan,"
Kratos glanced up and noticed Martel was standing before them. Kratos smiled and her and then crossed his arms and spared a glance over at Yuan, who was still looking downward with that amidst blush over his face. Martel starred at him for a few moments before turning to Kratos.
"I'm glad you guys showed up," Martel smiled weakly, noticing Yuan wasn't paying any attention. "Everyone else is at the food court. Zelos, Sheena, Efreet, Luna, Sylph, Shadow, Undine, Colette, Lloyd, Takuya, everyone!" Martel rambled on, noting off as many people as she could remember.
"That is everyone," Kratos noted, blinking in surprise-ment.
"Duh, this is the festival of the year!" Martel added in proud fully. She paused for another moment, noticing Yuan wasn't paying much attention at all. "Is something wrong with you?" She asked. Yuan didn't look up. "Did Tom Hanks say no?.." Martel asked with a grin. Still no response.
"I think he's just nervous about Sylph," Kratos scoffed, crossing his arms once more. "Don't pay much attention to his behavior. Anyways, lead us away to the food court," Kratos instructed.
"Very well, master," Martel replied sarcastically, bowing in front of Kratos. He snickered and followed Martel through the crowds. Yuan only lagged behind them, at his own slow pace.
"Seriously, did you say something to the kid to make him act this sad?" Martel asked, as they walked side by side with Yuan following a few feet behind. Kratos blinked and then shook his head.
"He started acting weird this morning," Kratos spoke, glancing over his shoulder to watch the blushing yet sulking blunette behind him. Turning his attention back to Martel, he sighed, trying to make sense of Yuan's actions today. It seemed like nothing would cheer him up.
"Probably just nerves. And Kratos, don't tell anyone this," Martel spoke. Kratos blinked and nodded. Martel glanced over nervously and then lowered her voice to a whisper. "You know those flowers Yuan received? They were meant for you." Martel spoke.
"Excuse me!" Kratos suddenly hollered. Martel shrunk back and then gave an affirmative nod and continued in a soft whisper.
"Please don't tell the kid that, he's really excited. And besides, if he knew they were for you, he'd never forgive you, and that'd jeopardize your plan for the end of the month." Martel spoke with a stern shake of her head.
"I bet you were to glad to figure out that you didn't have any competition," Kratos noted, glancing at Martel wearily.
"He's cute and all, with that cute boy charm like I said, but I," Martel paused and starred at Kratos. "Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say, ok?" Kratos nodded. "Efreet and I are dating."
"How can you people jump around from people to people within days?" Kratos blinked. Martel blushed lightly and crossed her arms brutally.
"Excuse me? This is my first boyfriend within two months," Martel replied sternly.
"Yuan likes you a lot, you know that?" Kratos made known, turning to the greenette. Martel blinked and then shrugged her shoulders.
"Maybe after everything is said and done I might consider it. Not everything I do is based on the flip of a card, you know," Martel told Kratos scornfully.
"Did I say it was?" Kratos asked suspiciously. Martel paused and then laced her fingers together.
"Did I tell you that Luna and Shadow are dating again?" Martel asked curiously. Kratos violently shook his head and placed his hands behind it. They're pace slowed down as they neared the food court. Still, Yuan remained silent behind them. It was as if he was stalking them, or something of the sort.
"I thought Shadow was going out with Undine?" Kratos asked wearily, mind starting to become confused.
"No, Undine is with Aska," Martel reminded him.
"Can't people stay with one person!" Kratos suddenly growled. Martel blinked a few times and then a snicker passed her lips. "What's with the look?" Kratos was beginning to feel uneasy as she continued to grin.
"You're just mad because Zelos has moved on," Martel answered.
"I'm glad that Zelos has moved on," Kratos grumbled. "Like I said when I broke up with him, I won't date anyone unless I see a future within them," Kratos continued brutally. "Most of these relationships are pointless anyhow."
"But it's the inner-joy they bring you," Martel pointed out brightly.
"But that soon turns to grief," Kratos came back cruelly.
"Look, we're here," Martel said, all to glad to be at the food court so their argument could come to a halt. Kratos walked over to the five tables were his friends sat. At the first table was Zelos, Sheena, Shadow, and Luna. At the next table was Efreet, Lloyd, and Colette. At the third table was Undine and Aska, and at the last table was Takuya and Sylph. Kratos took the table with Takuya and Sylph. Yuan followed in suit.
"Look who it is," Takuya spoke, glancing u p from his hotdog. His dark emerald eyes followed Kratos. Sylph, who was sitting across the table, glanced up from her book. Long strands of silver hair fell from her head and gently rested on her shoulder. Bright blue eyes watched Kratos intently. Restlessly, Kratos took the seat next to Takuya. Yuan sat down next to Kratos, still not saying a word.
"So, how's it going?" Takuya asked, putting down the hotdog and sparing a glance over at the auburn teenager.
"Pretty fair," Kratos mumbled and noticed Sylph had gone back to reading her book. Kratos spared a glance over at Zelos and Sheena who were sitting rather close. Turning away sharply, he noticed Yuan had begun to turn even redder.
"..Can you excuse us for a moment?" Kratos asked. Takuya nodded as Kratos grabbed Yuan by the arm and dragged him out of the food court area and down to the empty isle between tents. Yuan still did not look up at Kratos.
"Can you please tell me what's wrong? You're acting all depressed and it's really bringing me down," Kratos spoke, placing a hand on Yuan's shoulder. The boy twitched nervously and then met Kratos' gaze.
"Can we go on the Ferris Wheel now?" Yuan asked innocently. Kratos blinked a few times before an annoyed smile passed his lips then melted into a snicker.
"All that pouting because you wanted to go on a ride I agreed to earlier?" Kratos spoke in dis-belief.
"N-no.." Yuan spoke restlessly.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?.." Kratos asked. By now, the fake worry had faltered and he was beginning to truly worry about Yuan. It hadn't come into realization that he truly worried about the poor guy.
"Kratos... before we left the theater last night.. Efreet told me that the admirer card was fake.. and I asked Slyph about it and she had no clue what I was talking about..." Yuan spoke, looking downward. Sadly, Kratos placed a hand on Yuan's shoulder and thought of a way to explain to him it'd be fine, and not let on that it was intended for him, and not Yuan.
"Come on Yuan, don't act so depressed. It's no big deal. So you don't have a date for Zelos' party, big deal." Kratos spoke, taking his hand off Yuan's shoulder. However, Yuan looked downward and only sighed. Kratos starred intently and tilted his head.
It was bad enough Yuan had found out about the fake card, but to tell him it was meant for him, Kratos, would be suicide.
"Kratos... about what my mom said.." Yuan spoke restlessly. Kratos blinked a few times and then moved his head in a confused manor.
"About what?"
"About... Hiaturio."
"Yes?"
"We never were together. He stalked me, and I didn't like him..."
"Is that what's been on your mind this whole time?" Kratos asked in dis-belief.
"I was just afraid you hated me because you thought I was bis-" Yuan began and then noticed Kratos placing his hands on his hips in a stunned manor. "What's that look for?" Yuan asked nervously.
"Does it look like I care if you swing that way? It's not like I'm hitting on you or anything, so why should it matter to me?" Kratos asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I just thought.. that you didn't want to watch movies last night with me was because you were afraid I'd hit on you," Yuan murmured.
"You thought that!" By now Kratos had let out a held back wave of laughter. Yuan gazed up, hoping that it was a good thing that Kratos was laughing. "I was just tired, I've had a lot on my mind lately, and I've been feeling under the weather."
"But last night you barely talked to me, so I thought you were mad. You're the first real friend who actually cares about what I do, in a long time.." Yuan spoke, swaying on his feet.
Guilt rushed over Kratos for a few moments and then looked downward himself.
"I'm nothing special," Kratos corrected him.
"..." Yuan didn't reply.
"Come on, the Ferris Wheel awaits us," Kratos replied smugly. Yuan glanced up at him, stars glittering in his eyes as he hurried after Kratos who had broken out in a run to the rides. A smile spread across Yuan's lips as he chased after what he thought was his first true friend in a long time.
"Look at the view up here!"
Yuan was practically leaning over the ride on the top of the Ferris Wheel, gazing out upon the carnival. It was around sunset, and the lights of the ride cast an almost entrancing presence. The ride had stopped for a few moments so whoever was at the top could bask in the sights. Kratos looked downward restlessly and then turned to Yuan.
"You're going to fall off," Kratos remarked.
"It's just so nice up here," Yuan spoke, sitting back down with a bright smile.
"So you're feeling better?" Kratos asked hopefully.
"Much," Yuan spoke happily.
"But I've got to ask you something, what was with that blush earlier? Surely nerves don't cause something of that severity," Kratos noted, leaning back against the seat and watching the stars glitter in the slowly darkening sky.
"When I get nervous, my face turns a dark red," Yuan spoke, glancing over at Kratos.
"I'll make sure to remember that." Kratos sneered. "So tell me, is there anything I should know about you and Martel? Any plans of you two getting together?" As Kratos spoke, a gentle breeze whipped across the two's faces.
"No.. I heard she's going out with Efreet," Yuan muttered. "Besides, she's nice and all, but I don't really want to go out with her, I.. never had good luck with girls.." Yuan added in.
"Even if it means going single to Zelos' party?" Kratos asked curiously.
"Noooo, if worse comes to worse I'll just drag you as my date," Yuan snickered.
".." Kratos eyes snapped open widely, heart suddenly falling a thousands feet. He didn't know why, and for what cause. It was like he had just been shot in the chest, or just learned something life changing. But the reason was hidden far away, beyond a locked door.
"I'm joking," Yuan spoke, beginning to laugh at Kratos' reaction.
"I knew that.." Kratos scoffed, crossing his arms.
"Want some cotton candy?" Yuan asked innocently, passing over the big ball of fluff on a stick to Kratos. Kratos observed it for a few moments and then tilted his head curiously.
"What are you supposed to do with it? Lick it?" Kratos asked, raising an eyebrow. By now Yuan had burst out in laughter.
"Of course not! Just bite down and rip off a piece, it's like air," Yuan spoke happily.
"And this piece of air tastes like what?" Kratos asked, before taking a bite.
"It's blue raspberry flavored," Yuan suddenly answered, taking a bite out of it as it just floated there in Kratos' grasp. Kratos blinked and then took a bite. It actually tasted pretty good, however Yuan had begun to laugh once more as the ride slowly turned, causing them to move one place lower, but there was still a nice view.
"What's so funny?" Kratos demanded, holding the cotton candy.
"You've got cotton candy all over your face!" Yuan almost giggled. Kratos blinked and whipped it off with his hand and rolled his eyes.
"You're so immature," Kratos noted.
"Unlike my Tom Hanks. He's so mature," Yuan suddenly squealed, making that Yuan expression. Kratos could only sigh at his friend's cuteness with that expression.
"Ever read the book Moby Dick?" Kratos asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh.. yea why?" Yuan stammered, restlessly.
"Because, I had a friend who was obsessed with it for ten years, just like you're with Tom Hanks," Kratos spoke.
"No, out on a woodchip in the middle of a storm for ages is called obsession," Yuan remarked, smirking slyly.
"Where did you learn that? Off a cereal box?" Kratos asked curiously, crossing his arms and gazing out onto the city lights. No one had ever asked him to the carnival. For the past ten years, no one had taken the chance to ask him. No one ever paid much attention to him, just because they were afraid of his most popular title.
"Believe it or not, I can come up with witty comments like that myself," Yuan smirked once more, glancing over at Kratos who was starring brightly out at the roller coaster. His eyes were bright and wide, just starring.
"You know what Yuan? There's always gotta be a fly in the ointment," Kratos suddenly spoke, glancing over at Yuan. Yuan blinked a few times, titling his head and letting his blue hair drape lightly over his clothes.
"Excuse me? What does that mean?" Yuan asked.
"Nothing," Kratos sneered. "If you can't figure it out, then I'm not going to tell you," Kratos added in smugly, as the Ferris Wheel made another movement, placing them halfway down it. Yuan glanced outward for a few moments and then smiled lightly.
"Please tell me Kra-tos," Yuan smirked, bearing an unmistakable grin.
"No I won't, Yu-an," Kratos answered brightly.
"Fine, be that way," Yuan spoke, pouting and then finishing his cotton candy.
"Can I ask you something?" Kratos asked out into the air. Yuan turned his head and starred at Kratos innocently.
"Yeah?"
"You'd never get mad at me for something, right?" Kratos asked suspiciously.
"Like what?" Yuan asked curiously, crossing his arms also and leaning back against the metal part of the seat. Kratos blinked a few times, choosing his words carefully.
"Nothing, just forget about it." Was all Kratos said before closing his eyes.
"You're so hard to deal with at times," Yuan pouted, looking at him. Another thought passed his mind and he turned nervously to Kratos. "Hey... will you still talk to me at school? Or will things go back to my first day? Where you wanted nothing to do with me?..." It had been on Yuan's mind for the past two days.
"Why wouldn't I?" Kratos spoke, eyes tightly shut. A light smile spread across Yuan's face as he nodded and starred up at the stars which were forming in the sky above them "Yuan?"
"Yeah?" Yuan spoke as the Ferris Wheel made another turn, slowly brining them to the bottom of the ride.
"I'm sorry..." Was all Kratos said as they got off. Yuan blinked a few times.
"Sorry for what?" He asked, as they began to walk down the off slope, out onto the path that would lead them to the food court to buy some more food. It was around eight, and they had around three hours left before they had to go. Kratos didn't reply but then glanced upwards.
"Hey, at ten thirty, care to watch the fireworks?" Kratos asked, glancing over at him.
"Just you and me?" Yuan asked nervously.
"Uh, of course not! We'll be with everyone else," Kratos spoke nervously, putting on a fake smile.
"Oh, sure," Yuan spoke, distant-minded.
"It's settled, now let's get some sandwiches, I'm starving," Kratos spoke, leading them to the food court triumphantly.
It was around Ten-thirty and all the others had joined back up, towards the entrance of the carnival. In front of the entrance was a large field, where many of the visitors tended to camp out or gaze up at the stars at. However, everyone had decided to dub this the place of their fireworks watching. Kratos sat next to Yuan and Zelos.
"So, how was your night?" Zelos suddenly asked, looking over at Kratos. Kratos blinked a few times and then cleared his throat and gave a weak smile.
"Pretty good," Kratos replied. "And yours?"
"Great! I suppose.." Zelos started out happily and then his cheer had faltered. Zelos placed his arms behind him body so he could support his figure. A moment passed as the rollercoaster went by a few hundred feet away, making a loud whoosh. Kratos glanced over at his friend, unsure why he had just suddenly changed attitudes. "This reminds me of a time," Zelos began. "A month ago, after we went to dinner and then to the-" Zelos began.
"Park.." Kratos finished, glancing over at Zelos who was gazing up at the night stars. Kratos bit down on his bottom lip, in an unsure manor. Crossing his arms, he sat on the cold grass, next to his two friends. Yuan, however, was in a deep conversation with Martel and Efreet over something.
"It's times like this where I start to think, you know? I start to miss the good old days," Zelos spoke, as he closed his eyes softly, before turning his head to face Kratos. Kratos' stomach dropped a thousand feet as he restlessly sat straight up, gazing back at Zelos. "And I start to think, will things ever go back to the way they were?"
"Zelos, you more than anyone should know that answer. It's not... because I wanted to hurt you, it's just I didn't want to be with anyone. I can't explain why, it's just something I had to do. But I swear to you Zelos, you won't see me dating anyone for a long time," Kratos whispered gazing up at the sky.
"Seal the promise?" Zelos asked, glancing over back at Kratos. Kratos paused nervously, before hiding his expression with the cold and distant look he always seem to give off. "Just to make sure you aren't lying, seal your promise like you always used to," Zelos continued. Kratos looked downward, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
"Zelos, I can't do that. I just can't," Kratos murmured then turned back to his friend. "But you have my word. I promise you on my good name," Kratos answered strongly. Zelos sighed and than gave an agreeing nod before a smirk crossed his lips.
"You're right. I wouldn't want Sheena seeing us making out," Zelos chuckled lightly. A light smile crossed Kratos' lips before he nodded in agreeance once more before taking out a small box of sweet tarts from his pocket "So, how's the plan going?"
"Fine, I suppose. He can be really open if you pretend you care," Kratos shot a spare glance to Yuan who was sitting feet away, still in deep conversation. "It won't be that hard to get him to trust me. Now, do explain on what the whole plan is for the party." Kratos instructed.
Zelos switched positions uneasily in his seat before nodding. "Well, I was planning that when you and him arrive, you slip some alcohol into his drink. Something strong that'll really mess with his mind. Then you should get him to spill any of his secrets, on camera. Once we're done with that, you can leave him somewhere so when he wakes up he doesn't remember a thing." Zelos smirked after finishing his whisper.
"We need to plan something to go along with that, something bigger. Something worth all my trouble," Kratos smirked, and then paused. "I was thinking something along the lines of seduction."
"Eh?" Zelos asked, raising an eyebrow and starring at Kratos innocently. A dark smirk filled Kratos' expression before he lowered his voice once more, just above a whisper.
"If he truly is as straight as a crowbar, we could get someone to pretend to hit on him, turn on the camera, and make it look like Yuan was hitting on them, showing how he truly swings. That way, the whole world will know and he'd be much more embarrassed," Kratos smirked proudly, crossing his arms.
"And you're suggesting who?" Zelos asked and then sneered slyly. "I know.. you should try and get him to fall in love with you so at the party we can catch how he acts all on tape. After all, you are Kratos Aurion," Zelos finished, grinning widely.
"You want me to... try and hit on him?" Kratos whispered, pointing over his shoulder to where Yuan sat, still in much conversation.
"It'd be fake, don't worry. It's either yes or no Kratos, if we pull this off, we will go down in history as the prank masters and most popular people in our school's history! People will look up to us as their idols," Zelos explained proudly. "All you have to do is pretend to like him. You're bi after all..."
"Should we really do this?" Kratos asked restlessly. "I mean, it'll be exerting a lot of my energy."
"Like I said, think of the rewards we'll reap! Think of the chicks that will flock to us and call us their masters! We'd be the big men on campus!" Zelos continued, stars flashing in his eyes. Kratos smirked and then glanced back over at Yuan.
"So I have a month," Kratos spoke.
"Remember Kratos, the more you make your move, the better the outcome will be at the party," Zelos replied with a wink. He paused and then smirked once more. "And if we do this successfully, Sheena will so admire me!"
"Fine, I'll do it.." Kratos answered after much speculation. Gently, Zelos tipped his head and then peered over at Martel and the others. Sinister thoughts were spread oh so evidently on Zelos' lips. Kratos, however, had begun to drift off into thoughts. Possible plans, possible actions.
"And I was thinking, you should start," Zelos whispered.
"Eh?"
"Make your move tonight, show him your interested. I know you better than anyone else, you can force your charm on anyone," Was all Zelos said with a smirk, before turning his attention to the bright fireworks above.
But still? How could he possibly fake love?
Later That Night; Midnight;
"Weren't those fireworks the best?"
Kratos was laying stretched out on the sofa as Yuan passed through the room. His face was the usual pale from excitement, contradictory from his earlier blush. As he walked, his strands of blue hair fell into his eyes, so he repeatedly brushed them away. Kratos glanced up from his seat on the coach, still wavering his options and motives.
"Yeah, they were good," Kratos replied casually, crossing his arms. Yuan paused and then walked over to him and lowered his voice to a small whisper as his emerald eyes fixed upon Kratos' frail figure.
"My mom is asleep by now, want to watch movies tonight? Seeing it's your last night here?" Yuan asked, lacing his fingers together in a plea. A light smirk fell upon Kratos' lips as he nodded. Still, in his mind, the possibilities floated about. If he could pull of this plan, then he'd be respected by everyone in the school. Even the seniors. And if everyone respected him, he'd surely be able to do as he pleased without hesitation.
"Ok!" Yuan cheered hopefully, in a small whisper. He turned to the DVD player with remote in hand and turned it on. The DVD from the night before was still snuggly inside. Kratos murmured something to himself before swinging his feet off the sofa, to give Yuan enough room to sit down. Not much, but enough.
"You know? I love this movie," Yuan whispered, sitting on the coach next to Kratos. Kratos let out a sigh before he glanced over at Yuan who was eagerly watching the beginning previews, and intro to the movie. Murmuring something once more to himself, Kratos edged closer on to the seat to Yuan. He placed his arm in the air, about to wrap it around his captive but Yuan had arose to his feet. "I'm going to get some blankets, be right back!" He said cheerfully before walking off silently to the next room.
Kratos had tumbled forward, chest first into the rest of the sofa from the sudden balance changed. Muttering a few choice words to himself, he glanced back over at the TV and began to think for a moment. After his thinking time had ended, he arose back up to his original position as Yuan came back into the room, with himself tightly wrapped in a red blanket.
"Back!" Yuan declared in a squeaky whisper. Kratos rolled his eyes and watched the teenager take his seat once more. "Oh I love this part! It's like her face is all bleh!" Yuan noted, swaying in his seat.
"I know you love it, can you please be quiet and let me watch it?" Kratos asked, furrowing his eyebrows at his friend.
"But!-" Yuan began and then glanced over at Kratos wearily. "What's with that look?" Yuan spoke, sweat beginning to roll down his face. He looked so cute like that.
"I don't have a library card, but can I check you out?" Kratos suddenly asked, gazing deeply over at Yuan. Yuan blinked a few times before slinking over to the far side of the sofa, away from Kratos as more sweat rolled down his face.
"E-xcuse me?" Yuan spoke, as his voice cracked right in-between. This was far too easy. A sly grin passed Kratos' lips before he placed his arms behind his head and leaned back, lounging in his seat.
"You heard what I said," Kratos replied brisk fully.
"I-i yes, I mean! No!" Yuan squealed, correcting himself quickly. Another sly grin passed Kratos' lips before he shrugged and glanced back over at his fretting friend. A moment passed with only the sound of the movie in the background. Kratos blinked a few times before slinking over to where Yuan sat. "What are you doing?" Yuan asked nervously, clenching his blankets tightly.
"Nothing, just thought you might be cold," Kratos replied coolly, sitting right next to Yuan. The blunette blinked rapidly and then gulped down anything that had been bothering him. "Are you, cold?"
"N-n-o," Yuan replied restlessly. Definitely, this was far too easy.
"Because your face looks pale in color. I know just the thing for that," Kratos replied hastily, extending a hand and twirling Yuan's hair within it. Yuan blinked and desperately thought of anything that would explain why Kratos had suddenly began to hit on him! Especially at night!
"What.." Yuan answered, almost afraid to ask what the remedy was.
"This," Kratos answered, leaning over and meshing his lips together with Yuan's fluidly. He pushed the boy's lithe form and ran his hands across his sides, and finished as he rummaged them through his hair. Yuan however, twitched beneath Kratos, only causing the older teenager to be turned farther on. Where was his off switch?
"kr-" Yuan began, trying to break away but was silenced by Kratos grabbing him from behind his head and continued his feverish embrace. "tos!" Yuan finished with a small eep.
"Yes?" Kratos gasped, hovering over Yuan's body, with one hand planted firmly on each side of the younger boys body. Yuan blinked from beneath him, his face turning a dark shade of red. The only two thoughts that were racing through his head was how to get Kratos to stop, and why he wore so tight pants.
"Why did you just.." Yuan was short for breath, and his expression showed it.
"Speechless?" Kratos asked, arching an eyebrow and breathing heavily.
"Don't ever do that again!" The young boy squeaked, pushed Kratos off of him and fled to the stairs. Kratos sat on the coach, crossed arms with a proud smirk. However, before Yuan had fled up the stairs, he paused and glanced back over. "Good night..." Yuan whispered and ran up the stairs. This was going to be far too easy. Especially seeing how easily the blunette was persuaded. Then again, just how long would he be able to keep this fake scheme up?
The thing was, he wasn't supposed to enjoy it.
No, that was out of the question. This was a sherade, something planned. He had done it many times before back in the day. It was as easy as slicing a knife through butter. When he was as enticing as Kratos Aurion, things came easy to him. But now? Now he was forced with another job, but this time he was enjoying it.
No, Kratos kept telling himself, laying on the sofa starring at the ceiling. No, this is just fake. He's a geek, an idiot. A fan boy. There's no possible way that I enjoyed that. Of course not.. right?
AN;
I bet you all squeaked at that last part. heh. I thought by now you guys deserved some K/Y action. And oh by the way, the plot WILL get thicker, darker, and better as we go along.
