Chapter 4
The Calm Before The Storm
"…love you," Kouichi said, looking away.
"You…love me?" Izumi stammered, a bit surprised and shocked that Kouichi had actually admitted that to her.
Kouichi nodded, squatting down and placing his hand on Wolf's head, rubbing his ears.
Izumi just watched him interact with Wolf, mulling over the meaning of Kouichi's statement.
Kouichi risked taking a peek at what she was doing, and caught her staring and smiling at him.
"I love you too Kouichi" she whispered, pulling him up and into a hug.
Wolf whined, trying to pull free from Kouichi's grip, but the blue haired teen held the lead tighter, not wanting him to run off again, or his twin would definitely massacre him.
After a couple of sweet moments of tonsil hockey, they had to surface for air, then they started heading back, Wolf pulling on the lead, eager to get back home.
They started walking back, holding hands, but then Kouichi pulled Izumi closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, and she replied by snaking her arm around his waist, so that she was snuggling into him, practically leaning into him for support.
They walked that way all the way to Kouji's, where Kouichi was staying for 2 weeks.
When they got back to the house, it was all quiet, 'too quiet, I wonder where Kouji and Takuya are? But they might still be at the park…highly unlikely, but possible.' Kouichi thought briefly, shutting the door behind them.
It wasn't until after Kouichi had let Wolf loose, that he noticed Kouji's and Takuya's shoes at the front door – meaning they were definitely here – then he mentally cursed himself for letting the dog go when he heard Takuya scream, a loud thump, and Wolf sounding like he was attacking someone, 'most probably Takuya' Kouichi thought grimly, heading towards the stairs.
Kouichi raced up the stairs and into Kouji's room, where he had to laugh at the sight before him – Takuya lying on the floor, where he obviously landed after falling out of the bed, Wolf standing on the bed - no doubt where Takuya had been sleeping - and Kouji, looking highly amused at the fact that Wolf had all but attacked Takuya to get him out of Kouji's bed, where, Kouichi thought grinning, both boys had been sleeping in nothing but their boxers!
Takuya got up and glared at Kouichi, who was attempting, but failing miserably, at hiding his grin.
"Thanks a lot Kouichi! I was comfy up there!" Takuya grumbled, "You think its funny, don't you? Well, let me tell you something – its NOT! Now stop laughing at me and get that damn dog outta here Kouichi!"
Kouichi just burst out laughing again, and pointed at his longhaired twin, who, when Takuya turned around, just buried his head in Wolf's side, and the brunette could see that his koi was shaking uncontrollably.
Takuya got a bit worried then, he didn't quite know what was wrong with Kouji.
But when Kouichi saw Takuya's angry look turn to concern about his brother, Kouichi stopped laughing pretty damn fast and called out, "Kouji!"
Kouji's head shot up at his name being called, and Takuya got a bit of a shock when he saw the tears running down Kouji's face, but then he saw Kouji smothering his grin and laughter as he wiped the tears from his face.
"Oh, so you think its funny as well, do you?" Takuya said, advancing on Kouji enough to kneel on the end of the bed.
Kouji, in turn, backed up as far as he could – which wasn't very far – until his back hit the wall.
Takuya started to crawl towards Kouji, a menacing glint in his eyes.
Kouji put his hands up in an attempt to stop his koi advancing any further.
Unfortunately for Takuya, one very big, extremely overprotective German Shepherd had slipped his mind.
Kouichi couldn't help but laugh as Takuya scrambled backwards – and fell off the bed again – as Wolf growled and stood up in front of Kouji, once again, to 'protect' him from this 'creature' that keeps trying to get close – too close – to his master, with the intent of hurting Kouji – or so Wolf thought.
Kouji let out a huge – and obviously fake – sigh of relief and smirked at Takuya – who just glared daggers at Wolf – then Kouji put his hand on Wolf's head and gently pulled on his ear, grinning evilly at Takuya.
Kouichi walked up to the bed, and, at a hesitant nod and pout from Kouji, grabbed Wolf's collar and dragged the reluctant dog off the bed and out of the bedroom, shutting the door firmly behind him.
Only then did Takuya breathe a (real!) sigh of relief, but which quickly turned into a yelp as he jumped when Wolf attacked the door – Kouichi had obviously let him go once the door was shut.
Kouji just burst out laughing at the look on his koi's face, and Takuya remembered that he was gonna make Kouji pay for laughing at him before.
Kouji was laughing too much and didn't realize Takuya was still intent on punishing him for laughing at him, and the result of that was that Takuya got right up close to him, and then, on an impulse, started tickling him.
Kouji's eyes snapped open when Takuya first started tickling him, then they started watering and he had to shut them because he was laughing so much.
"Stop…cut…it out…Wolf…help…where are you…stop…Kuya-…-kun…" Kouji managed to gasp out a few words between his laughter, while Takuya just grinned like a maniac when Kouji tried to call Wolf, knowing that the door was shut and there was no way Wolf could get in, unless he somehow learnt how to fly through a second-story window, which Takuya seriously doubted!
Kouji stopped struggling as much, and Takuya saw that while he was still laughing, he was also gasping for air, trying to catch his breath and failing miserably as long as Takuya kept tickling him.
Kouji was shocked, but glad nonetheless, when Takuya stopped tickling him. He just lay still, with his eyes closed, while he caught his breath.
While his koi caught his breath, Takuya thought – for the hundredth or so time – how cute Kouji looked.
Kouji cracked one eye open the tiniest bit to find out why Takuya stopped, although he was grateful to his koi for stopping, Kouji just hoped nothing had happened to him – it was starting to sound just a bit too quiet to Kouji.
What Kouji saw made him frown bit, Takuya was staring at him intensely, but it also looked like he couldn't see him, he had a faraway look in his eyes that unnerved Kouji.
Kouji opened both his eyes fully, and sat up to find out what was wrong with Takuya.
But the moment he sat up, Takuya lost the faraway look that was in his eyes and pounced on Kouji, hugging him and knocking him back down onto the bed, with Takuya on top of him.
Kouji tensed up, surprise evident on his face, he was totally shocked that Takuya just pounced on him.
Takuya pulled away when he realized Kouji had tensed up and not responded to his show of affection.
"What's wrong, Kouji-kun?" Takuya asked, worry etched on his face and evident in his voice.
"Huh? Nothing Kuya-kun, I was just about to ask you that, you were spacing out on me," Kouji said, "I was…uh…starting to…umm…worry," he finished in a whisper.
"You are worried about me? The great Kouji Minamoto, the cold, hard, emotionless bastard is worried about me?" Takuya asked, awe and disbelief filling his voice.
"Of course I was, baka," Kouji replied, grinning slightly, "And I'm not that much of a cold, hard emotionless bastard, am I?" he asked, with an air of mock hurt.
"Well…-
TO BE CONTINUED…
Disclaimer:- I own nothing but the plot…and what's left of my mind
I got bored, so I wrote this, then stopped there, so if anyone's got any ideas about what Takuya can reply with, or what can interrupt them I would appreciate any ideas.
So…thanks to the reviewers, I'm sorry but I'm lazy and can't be bothered to reply to each one individually, but I appreciate them all…Tryin2BeAPoet, you're a dick but I cant seem to live without you! To all else, that's my best friend (I hope, I think of her as mine, anyway) and she's helped me through so much shit lately, I practically owe my life to her.
I will update soon…but until then, enjoy, and don't forget to push that little purplish colored button down there that sends me a review! (And please be nice!)
Cheers
Butler.
