Chapter 6: First move
Classes had ended and Kyo went back home alone. Iori still had something on and couldn't accompany him. Kyo decided to use this opportunity to keep his hormones down. He didn't want the redhead to know about his feelings…yet, especially after the cafeteria incident…
Flashback
Kyo blushed when Iori spoon-fed him. The whole cafeteria was staring at them and whispers could be heard.
"Iori, you can stop now! I'll eat!" He whispered. But the redhead chose to ignore.
"Iori!… This is so embarrassing…Onegai, Iori…" Kyo tried again, giving the redhead puppy-dog eyes.
Iori saw those pair of irresistible eyes, eventually gave up on his attempts on feeding Kyo. "You're lucky this time. Next time, expect for the worse." He smirked before standing up and walked towards the door.
"Chotto matte! When are you coming back home?" The brunette asked, holding one of his wrist.
"Late." Was the curt reply and freed himself from the grip.
End of flashbackKyo unlocked the apartment door and stepped in. He proceeded into his bedroom and pulled out his assignment before throwing his bag aside. He plopped on the chair and attempted on the questions given. That was when his battle with the paper began…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night…
Iori stepped inside his shared apartment. He noticed that the apartment was unusually quiet and tiptoed up to the second story to check on his roommate. Upon reaching the second story, he saw the lad struggling at his assignment. Curses flew out his mouth time and again when he met with a dead-end in his work.
Iori couldn't help but to soften his gaze when he looked at the younger boy and stood quietly behind the brunette, observing the boy. Then, he cleared his throat and Kyo whipped his head, eyes wide and shock was clearly written on his face.
"Iori, what are you doing here?" He asked. "And what are you doing in my room? Didn't we agree that nobody is to step inside each other's room, to protect our privacy?"
'How can I forget the agreement?' Iori just remembered what he said on the first day Kyo stepped inside the apartment. He kicked himself mentally before quickly regaining his cool, "Gomen, I saw you so absorbed in your work…so, I can't help but…" He let his words trailed over the unfinished sentence.
"Oh…Ok…Umm, can you, can you help me with my assignment? I have some difficulty with these. These questions are sure killers!" Kyo joked, trying to lighten the tension that was building in the room. The redhead agreed and slipped beside him, before he began his tutoring.
During the course of the tutoring session…
Iori was sitting very close and was tutoring Kyo seriously. Kyo, however, was not really paying attention. He was high with the intoxicating cologne of the redhead.
'How can a guy can be so…so intoxicating? It's just too addictive!' Kyo couldn't help but to take in more of the spicy fragrant, like a drug addict sniffing drugs.
Just at that moment, one of Iori's hand brushed gently against Kyo right hand. The contact made him shudder and it got worse when the low husky voice of his roommate and the hot breath tickled his ears. He nearly got a nosebleed and went to his fantasy land, when a hand rested on his shoulder.
"Kyo? Are you listening?" He asked, gently shaking the boy, waking him up from his 'dream'.
"Huh! Oh! I'm uhh…uhh…anou…" He scrambled to find the right words to say and blushed a deep shade of red. "Gomen…"
"I think that's all for today. You look tired. Goodnight." The redhead sighed. With that, he stood up and headed to his room. 'Am I really that scary?'
Looking at the retreating figure, Kyo suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had asked for help and yet he didn't pay attention. He felt kicking himself up in the ass. 'Why didn't I listen! You idiot!…' Kyo scolded himself over and over again. But then, the telephone rang.
He rushed down stairs 'Who could be calling at this hour? Seriously!' and picked up the phone. "Moshi moshi?"
"Ah…Kyo Kusanagi, the young heir of the prestigious Kusanagi family, am I right?" A deep voice came from the other end of the line. "I called to warn you to be careful."
"Who, who are you!" Kyo demanded. He panicked and looked around the dark apartment. "What do you want from me!"
"My name's not important and I want nothing from you. I'm just having fun… Remember, there are eyes watching your every move. Have a nice night." And the voice chuckled before hanging up.
"Wait, don't hang up! Tell me who…"
"Kyo? Is everything alright?" Iori hollered from upstairs when he heard the commotion.
"Uh…Yeah, I'm fine! Just go to bed!" He shouted. A moment later, he heard the sound of door shutting. Kyo put down the phone and trudged up the stairs. 'Why does that voice sound so familiar? Could it be…? Nah, it can't be! Why would he want to harm me? Maybe this is just some prank!'
However, the 'reassuring' thought still made him unable to sleep even after he plopped on his bed. The words from the earlier phone call was a little disturbing and kept ringing in his head incessantly…
"Eyes watching your every move…Be careful…I'm just having FUN!HAHAHAHA!" A hand reached out and gripped tightly on his neck, cutting his air supply.
"Arghhh!" Kyo screamed and snapped his eyes open. He sat up and untangled himself from the blanket. Beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead. He took in deep breaths to calm himself down. He looked around and saw a weak beam of light shone through from the curtains. It was morning, and he had successfully fallen asleep. 'Look's like I've fallen asleep, but…what's that dream about?'
He was pondering on the dream when Iori burst inside his room. "Kyo! Are you alright? What's the matter?" Worry etched across his normally cold and hard feature. He strode across the room and sat beside Kyo.
"I'm…fine." Kyo managed to spit out.
Iori only look at him with a suspicious look. He then reluctantly pulled out an envelope from his jacket and handed it to Kyo.
Kyo received the letter addressed to him and opened it. He gasped and dropped it on the floor. On the envelope, it said:
I know your dirty secret.
I know what you did that night,
And I'm going to expose it.
Remember, there are eyes…everywhere.
