CHAPTER 9: SILENCE.
Hi there! Here comes another chapter of Mistakes. I know I took long and I want to apologize but currently my writer's block is huge and I cant help but take long.
Anyway, I know some people are confused as to who is the bad guy here. Well, just see it from this point of view: there are different types of love, in different levels. Nobody is evil here. They are just victims of their own love. Like I said before, I don't think akito is just a bastard for the sake of it. I think he has a reason behind it. Like, not knowing how to express it his love.
He loves kyo, but in a wrong way. In an obsessive way, which can sometimes be harmful. You shall see soon enough (wink wink). As for Hatori, Hatori loves kyo, but he's selfish about it and in denial. And Haru, well Haru doesn't love Kyo, he loves yuki. But not in a mature enough way. This is why he flirts with kyo when yuki isn't looking.
Okis! .
So anyway someone got a little mad cause I wrote my writer's notes in capital letters. Sorry. I forgot my previous format. Jeje
Well, thanks to all my reviewers! I love you guys and you inspire me to keep writing since I would have stopped a long time ago. I know the quality of my chapters seem to be going downhill so I apologise for that too.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

O.o
Kyo's presence in Hatori's house was pleasant.
In the first days, he had developed a fever and a cough. But hatori quickly managed to rid of it and slowly make the boy better.
As he healed, most of the time Kyo would read.
Hatori was surprised to find out how much they boy actually read.
As he read the books, kyo got closer and closer to Hatori. He found the man's collection to be pleasant. Books on nature, and art. Books on martial arts and history. It was all something kyo had been fascinated by.
He and Hatori had a lot in common.
O.o
The first tree days kyo stayed in bed and read. Hatori came once in a while and would check on kyo. It was an uncomfortable silence. An uncomfortable moment, in which both men were quiet. Why?
Neither was sure…but after what had happened…neither knew how to act.
It had been really out of character. It had been strange.
Mysterious…like haru would have said…
Hatori softly checked kyo's breathing as the boy looked down at his book. He stared dazedly at the purple cover with gold letters. The silence falling as heavily on his shoulders, as it was on Hatori who felt worried by the boy's silence.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, kyo's voice broke the silence gently. The way little kids hummed in the darkness so it so it would be less scary.
"This book is right…I should have read it earlier"
Hatori looked up surprised by kyo's sudden comment. They boy had stayed silent for 3 days. And hatori felt relief to finally hear his voice.
"Really? Why?"
"It says, if you are in love with a person, you should look for his happiness first. Not yours. Even if it hurts."
Hatori suddenly remembered Kana and flinched.
It was just another sad memory.
"It's true" Kyo mumbled softly and looked at hatori sadly. Hatori was taken back.
Why was the boy so sad?
Had kyo fallen in love?
The mere thought of that made Hatori ache, something he definitely didn't want to feel; wished he wouldn't feel.
"Don't you think?" Hatori looked up at kyo, his eyes confused. He himself didn't know the answer.
"I don't know…" Hatori answered softly "when I lost kana…I was hurt…she's happy…and I love seeing her this way…but no matter what I still hurt…I think I always will"
Kyo looked down at the book and smiled.
"I was born to suffer this way. The cat doesn't have another choice. But you don't deserve that; you shouldn't feel pain over someone so weak"
Hatori looked at the boy again surprised. The words sinking in softly.
Kyo looked out the window, watching the clouds move slowly.
A hand suddenly cupped his face and he turned surprised to a smiling hatori.
"You shouldn't either kyo, you don't deserve to feel pain…I wish there was a way it could be different for you"
"Wishing something doesn't help much…but it's nice you feel that way" Kyo mumbled and smiled at hatori. For real.
A true smile.
Rare and special…
The smile few people got to see…
The smile Hatori secretly loved…
O.o
Silence settled once again, but this time it wasn't so uncomfortable.
In fact, it was comforting.
Funny…the way silence can divide in many roads.
There's the scary type of silence.
The one that makes your heart beat fast and sweat with fright.
There's the dramatic silence.
The heavy silence.
And the light and gentle silence. The one that happens when there's no need to speak. Just the presence is enough.
It was the kind of silence that settled in Hatori's house.
After four days kyo accepted to eat his meals with hatori, they both sat at the table and settled with each others company.
In the afternoons, Hatori would arrive and sit in his office. Wearily, he would fill records upon records of patients in papers and felt truly annoyed. It was a task that bothered hatori greatly. Out of all the things he hated the most; paperwork was number one on the list.
It wasn't long before kyo entered the office for the first time, book in hands; he sat in the sofa and began to read. Hatori stared surprised from his load of work. But the teen didn't make notice of it. He just keep reading, his presence filling the room slowly.
Making the paperwork just a little more bearable.
O.o
"mushi mushi!"
"Aya! My dear Aya! I have great news for you!"
"My beloved Shigure! How come you are using the phone instead of coming to see my precious self?"
"AYA! I WANNA TELL YOU MY NEWS!"
"Yes yes! Fine what could be more important than my complains?"
"HATORI HAS A ROMANCE!"
"……"
The heavy kind of silence.
"Aya are you still there?"
"Hai…what do you mean? With who?"
"That's what you won't believe! I think it's with Kyon-kichi! My little kyo!"
"Kyo?"
"Yes…you should have seen! Hatori practically went nuts when kyon escaped from his office! I haven't seen Hatori so active since…"
"Kana"
"Exactly! And then he carried kyon on his shoulders and took him back! It was like Romeo and Juliet! Hahahaha! Not to mention it's been one week and kyo hasn't returned! Isn't great! I mean Hatori is finally…"
"Shigure, I gotta go…I got work to do…see ya"
"Huh? Aya? Wait but…"
Shigure pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at it confused.
'Since when does Aya work so much?"
O.o
Kyo was pleasantly sitting by the window in Hatori's office. It was finally partially sunny and he was trying to warm up with the scarce sun's rays. Hatori was just a couple of meters away doing paperwork, once in a while glancing at the redheads' direction.
The boy was sitting lazily in the couch wearing a pair of jeans and an oversized sweater. Hatoris'. Resting his face on his arms and slightly smiling at the outside. Like the kitten he was, happy that it was finally sunny out.
The doctor couldn't help but smile at this perfectly sweet picture. He stared for some time, until kyo noticed, blushed and turned back to reading his book. Hatori felt thoroughly embarrassed that he had been caught staring, nerveless somewhere in the back of his mind he was sort of glad.
Time passed by and once in while Hatori keep staring back at kyo. Just for brief periods of seconds, hardly anything noticeable, yet enough for him to notice the details on the boy's face.
The way his eyes were a fiery mixture of reds and oranges. The way they shone with fierceness, yet a hint of innocence that mostly everyone knew about kyo.
The way his orange strands of hair fell softly on his face and the graceful curves of his cheeks.
He was handsome and pretty at the same time.
Hatori stared, and stared, and couldn't stop staring…
Suddenly he noticed something strange, the boy seemed to be getting redder by the minute. Hatori winced a little at the thought that he had been caught staring again. Yet the boy's face was locked on the book.
The older man leaned back against his chair and watched as the boys' face seemed to blush even more.
He looked cute.
Yet, being the professional doctor that he was, Hatori got up, walked up to kyo, and placed his hand against his forehead. Kyo squeaked in surprised and looked up at hatori.
"Kyo, are you ok?" Hatori asked concerned and frowned as he didn't feel any fever.
"uuh…yeah I am…nothing to worry about…I perfectly fine…"
"So why are you blushing?" Hatori asked confused and followed the boys gaze as the younger looked at the book in his hands.
"I was…reading this book…umm…it's one of shigure's books" Kyo mumbled embarrassed "I found it, and I thought I might have a look at it. That pervert…"
It was true, curiosity killed the cat!
Kyo suddenly looked up as he heard soft laughter. Hatori was laughing softly and looked down at kyo with amusement in his eyes.
"So you finally found out what shigure's true level of perversity is?"
Kyo blushed even more, thinking of the dirty images the book brought to his mind.
"That bastard is disgusting!" Kyo growled and Hatori began to laugh once more.
Kyo looked at hatori's face in awe. It was so strange to see Hatori laughing….
It was so different, so cool…
And Kyo had done it!
He had made Hatori laugh! The boy wasn't sure why, but it sort of made him proud.
Suddenly a thought assaulted his mind….
Hatori had a lot of shigures' books…
"Hatori?"
"hmmmm?"
"do you like to read this kind of books?" Hatori stooped laughing and looked wide eyed at the curious boy. He blushed a little and looked away.
"No…"
"So why do you have so many of them?" Kyo demanded in an accusing tone.
"Shigure brings them over as presents"
"Oh" Kyo looked down at the book with disgust.
"Yuck" He grimaced and pushed the book away "This is so fake! besides…I don't think those things people do here are even possible" .
Kyo was innocent…Hatori was now sure of that.
The man walked back to his chair, sat and leaned against it. He looked back at the boy and smiled sexily.
"You wouldn't imagine" He mumbled, making the younger boy blush once again.
O.O
The subtle silence that had befallen on the room was broken once again as the front door was slammed open and a flash of silver pounced Hatori.
"Hari Hari! How are you?" Ayame asked cheerily and hugged the other man tight.
Kyo, who had begun to read a new book before he was rudely interrupted, looked up annoyed.
He hated the stupid snake and his noise.
"Ayame, what are you doing here?" Hatori asked with a frown and the other man buried his face in the doctors' neck.
"I missed you! So I came for a visit!" the snake said happily "besides, I always come to visit you! It shouldn't be strange or new! The real question is, what I skyon-kichi doing here?"
Both man turned to look at the boy in the couch who was staring angrily at them. Kyo was fuming, his red eyes burning with anger, his face hot.
He wasn't sure why, but he hated the snake more than anything in the world at this moment.
"He is sitting on hatori!'
A little voice in the back of his mind screamed and the boy's anger seemed to grow.
"Kyo is sick, so he needs to stay over so I can check on him" Hatori mumbled trying to release himself from the snake's death grip.
"But he doesn't look sick anymore. Why doesn't he go back to shigures" the snake said arrogantly and kyo growled in anger.
"WHAT DO YOU CARE!" kyo screamed as he jumped and looked at the silver hair man fiercely.
Ayame frowned and looked at the red head defiantly.
'He's wearing hatori's sweater!'
Ayames' frown seemed to deepen even more and his stare felt icy.
Kyo was shaken. He had never seen the snake angry before.
"I care about Hatori, I don't want him getting overworked" the snake snapped "he doesn't need more work than he already has; I don't want him getting sick! You should go back to Shigure's, kyo. If you're feeling better you should get off Hatori's back."
Kyo stood there shocked at the snakes' words. He had never really thought about it. Was he really being a bother? Was he just another nuisance, the way he had been with Haru?
Kyo gulped and reddened as he watched Ayame hug hatori once again.
He felt his eyes tear and his chest tighten.
He felt hurt once again…
Without a second thought Kyo ran out the door, not bothering to look back as Hatori called him.
O.o
Hatori stood shocked as Ayame said those words.
Ayame…
Ayame who had always been a good man…
Crazy…yes…nerveless good.
Why had he said those words to kyo?
It had been mean, rude, and a total lie!
"Ayame! Ayame stop! What the hell are you doing?" Hatori growled as he pushed the silver haired man off him once again. Ayame looked at hatori with sweet smile and hugged him for the fifth time.
"Hari! I'm caring for you! You don't need more work! Besides, kyon-kichi looked fine!"
"No he didn't! What you said was rude! Beyond rude! Don't you ever think about what you say!"
Ayame pulled away from Hatori and looked at him sadly.
"But Hari...I…care for you"
Hatori frowned, what was Ayame talking about? What did it have to do with Kyo?
"I don't want you…forgetting me..." Ayame mumbled and he looked down at the floor, his face hidden behind his silver bangs.
"Why would I forget you?" Hatori said irritably, his mind on kyo.
"Shigure told me you had a romance with kyo."
Hatori stared stoned faced at Ayame and the other man began to sob softly.
'That stupid…dog!'
"Ayame I'm not having a romance with kyo! Stop being stupid! Besides, that isn't a good reason to scream and act rudely! And why are you crying!"
"You're not having a romance with kyo?"
"NO!"
"OH THANK GOODNES!" Ayame screamed happily and hugged hatori once again.
"AYAME STOP IT! I GOTTA…"
"Hari!" Ayame interrupted and he locked eyes with the doctor "Stay with me!"
"What! Ayame why are you acting this way!" Hatori asked angrily.
"Because I love you" Ayame said bluntly and kissed Hatoris' mouth.
O.o
Kyo ran out of the office. Grabbed his sneakers and ran out of the house. He was feeling crushed again. He couldn't stop thinking about hatori! He couldn't stop thinking about haru! The way it was all the same!
It was all hurting him!
'Everything was fine…it was fine…it was'
Kyo's brain chanted as the boy ran to the gates. His sneakers squeaking in the mud as a bristle began to fall softly.
It wasn't sunny anymore…
It wasn't pleasant…
'Everything was fine...'
Kyo suddenly screamed as someone blocked his way and he fell on the mud beneath him.
Kyo breathed in deeply…and looked at the persons' feet.
A chill ran up his spine.
He looked up at Akito's smiling face….
Silence settled.
The scary kind of silence…
O.o
