Notes: For Dark Closure

Knowing full well that Shigure would be off with Hatori and Ayame today, Kyou skipped fourth period and when straight home after PE. Today was Hatsuharu's birthday and he wanted to surprise him with something special. And not the usual 'special', something a little more innocent. The other part could wait. Maybe.

When he was sure no one was home, Kyou entered the house and made his way into the kitchen. When he was absolutely certain no one was home, he fished through a drawer and pulled out one of Tohru's frilly pink aprons and put it on. He then began to bake the cake.

Cake mix. Eggs. Water. Oil.

Easy enough.

The Cat-cursed put all of the ingredients into a large bowl and set out to find the beaters.

Haru stretched and wiped the sleep from his eyes as he made his way down the stairs. He heard a loud mechanical sound coming from the kitchen and went to investigate.

There he found his lover trying to control the brown mixture in the bowl in front of him. He was already losing the fight, as there were small specks of goo sticking to the wall in front of him. Haru concluded that the beaters were on too high.

Not wanting to let this moment go to waste, Haru snuck up behind the older boy and wrapped his arms around his waist. Kyou jumped at the contact and, in the process, dropped the mixer. Chocolate cake mix covered everything in the room, including the two boys.

Haru licked at a particularly chocolately spot on the red-head's neck. At first, Kyou leaned into the touch, but then came back to his senses and turned around.

"W-what are you doing home Haru?"

"Came back after homeroom. Didn't feel like being in school today."

The Ox-cursed again started licking at his chocolate-covered-Kyou and Kyou finally gave in. Haru no sooner has his cousin pinned against the counter than they were interrupted by giggling in the doorway.

The two turned to see Shigure with half-amusement at the boys' public displays of affection and half-sorrow at his destroyed kitchen in his eyes.

Kyou blushed slightly and turned away. Haru, completely indifferent toward the intrusion, continued with his previous task. He paused only when he heard a "Take it upstairs, boys…" from the Dog-cursed.

The younger boy happily obliged and picked Kyou up bridal-style. On his way up to their shared bedroom, Haru whispered to his lover, "Next time you cook, I'll be more than happy to help."
