Despite what I'm guessing is popular belief, this fic will end sometime soon...I think. Ugh, on with the story!
CeTe: Yeah, Kanone should have known he'd be uncomfortable, but then again, our Kanone is a horny bastard! Alright, that's one vote for a lemon. Should I feel special that you're asking for one, then? Thanks for reviewing!
none: Hmmm, so do you want a lemon or not...it's so hard to tell. Sorry, sarcasm. Okay so that's two votes for a lemon (actually I think you voted like five times, heh...). Glad you like the story! And if you do have any ideas for Trust I'd really like to hear them, can you not tell how stuck I am? Thanks for reviewing!
alpha2nd: Yes, incredibly horny Kanone. Oh, he'll suffer, don't you worry about that. But not too much, and he will get his "compensation" in the end! Yay Eyes, and not only did he win, but he did it quite gracefully. Of course if Kanone hadn't slipped up it would have been much harder! Ugh, my tests. My math one was today and tomorrow, I finished all but two problems on it today, though. And chemistry is tomorrow, and I have to finish that review...great, I have homework. Can we all say there's not enough hours in a day? You're welcome for the update, thanks for reviewing!
Prosperpina: I enjoyed writing that last scene, actually, it was quite fun. Heh, so apparently everyone wants a lemon with these two; they have been moving pretty slow. I think you're the only one sympathizing with Kanone so far (besides me of course!) Anyway, thanks for reviewing!
After they got home, Eyes cooled off a little bit. However, much to Kanone's dismay, the only thing that the two would be doing in their bed was sleeping. Closing the door behind him to block out the harsh weather, Kanone turned and sat his bags down. Looking around for Eyes, Kanone didn't seem him, "He was right behind me. Where did he run off to now?" Kanone thought, a bit annoyed that he couldn't keep track of his boyfriend, "Eyes?" Kanone called out, checking the kitchen and living room and finding no one. Confused, Kanone hauled his purchases upstairs, and managed to get in his room without dropping anything. Throwing his bags aside for now, Kanone finally spotted his boyfriend.
The silver haired boy had gone upstairs as soon as he walked through the front door, and collapsed on his bed. Kanone smirked, wondering how a few hours of shopping could take so much out of him when he used to work at least as hard from dawn until dusk at Chase's. Crawling into bed with Eyes and kissing his neck, Kanone checked the alarm clock next to the bed. It was only two in the afternoon, how could the boy already be asleep? As if on cue, the latter turned to face Kanone, "Was there something you wanted?" He asked, tiredly.
Eyes stifled a yawn and Kanone smirked, "Well, of course, but nothing you can currently help me with." Eyes was too tired to waste energy glaring, so he just stared at Kanone, "I just don't think you should go to sleep yet, it's still early. If you sleep now, you'll be up all night."
Eyes nodded, "Yes, but if I'm up all night, then I can see you in the morning before you leave."
Kanone smirked and kissed Eyes' forehead, "I won't be gone all day, you know." Eyes gave Kanone a look that said he really didn't know, "Fine, sleep. But make sure you have enough energy for tomorrow night." After what Kanone had planned for Eyes, the boy would practically be jumping him. And even though that's not why he was doing it, it was a nice little bonus. Rolling off the bed to let his tired boyfriend rest, Kanone grabbed his bags and made his way downstairs.
The next few hours were dedicated to wrapping presents for all kinds of people. They were either people he liked (like Rio, Kousuke, and Ryoko), people that he wanted to keep at least somewhat happy with him for some reason or another (like Kiyotaka), or people he felt obligated to buy presents for (like that old lady that swore he was her grandson, though she had no family that Kanone knew of). So he continued wrapping these meaningless gifts, knowing that it wouldn't do much good to give them to the designated recipients. People would feel the same about him no matter what he got them, he could give Rio a rock or a melon and she would be just as happy that Kanone had actually thought of her. Though, he was sure she'd much perfer a melon to a rock, so it was lucky that he had found one so late in the year.
As he finished wrapping a small box with Kousuke's gift in it, Robertson, Kanone set it with the others. A few months back, Kousuke and Rio had gotten into a bit of an arguement and some precious things were lost. Rio lost her melon, while Kousuke lost his Robertson. Kanone had happened across one earlier that day and picked it up for the redhead. Kanone surveyed his gifts and realized he had left out one person. Perhaps...no definitely the most important one, he hadn't gotten Eyes anything. Sure, he had taken him shopping and he still had a suprise for the boy that no material possession could compare to, but he still felt bad with nothing to give him all wrapped up in a pretty package. This was Eyes' first real Christmas, and he deserved a real present. This decided, Kanone headed for town in search of a gift.
Reaching town once more, Kanone tried to recall anything that Eyes had payed special attention to, or pointed out to Kanone. Unfortunately for the latter, the former had pointed everything out simply because it was all so new and interesting to him. Thinking harder, Kanone replayed the whole day's events in his head. Eyes hadn't dropped any hints or given Kanone any signs as to wanting anything in particular. Sighing, Kanone walked through the town, noticing that most stores were already closed or were closing soon. It was getting late on Christmas Eve, so what store was open? The most expensive one in town, that damn jewelry store. But it was for Eyes, so the cost didn't matter.
Walking in, the bell gave a slight jingle that alerted the cashier, and startled her a bit as well, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
Kanone sighed, "Well, I could use some help looking for a present, Julie." Kanone replied, reading the woman's nametag.
"She's a lucky girl to have you come all the way out here on Christmas Eve for a present. Let me guess, she got all her other presents early?" Julie smirked knowingly.
Kanone thought about it, "In a way, yes, he did." He made a point to glare slighlty at Julie as he said this.
The woman blushed a little, "Oh, I'm sorry, sir." She quickly apologized, then smiled, "So, are you looking for anything in particular?"
"Perhaps you could help me with that, you might have seen him in here earlier. He has silver hair and the most beautiful blue eyes, he bought this ring." Kanone said, raising his hand so Julie could get a good look.
She brightened immediately, "Oh, yes, I remember him! He's a cute one."
Kanone growled in the back of his throat, silently, "Yes, I rather think so myself." Shaking off his glare, he looked to Julie once more, "Did he happen to look at anything in particular for himself?" Kanone asked, hoping that perhaps he could get some kind of hint as to what to buy.
Thinking for a moment, Julie nodded, "Actually he did ask to see ths choker." She replied, getting out her keys, and sliding open one of the glass counters to fish out a simple black choker with a small pendant attached to it (you know the one).
Kanone studied it for a second, it did look like something Eyes would wear, "How much?" Kanone asked, reaching for his wallet.
"$300." Julie replied simply. Kanone looked back at the choker, $300 for that? What in the world was he paying for? He studied the pendant a little closer and saw that it was actually a fairly large diamond surrounded by other, smaller ones (I don't actually know what it actually is). Seeing this now, Kanone was suprised it was only $300 and not closer to $3,000. Julie saw his hesitation, "You could make payments." She offered.
Kanone looked back up to her and smiled, "That won't be neccessary, if the boy can spend $1,000 on me, then $300 is nothing." Kanone handed over the money and recieved the choker in a box much like his, except it was dark blue instead of maroon. The box was placed inside one of the bags that only this store had, and was handed over to Kanone along with a reciept and warranty good for 90 days. Kanone thanked Julie and headed home, hoping that Eyes was still asleep.
Unfortunately, luck was not completely on his side, and Eyes was sitting in the living room, waiting for Kanone. The latter knew it was no use to try and sneak past Eyes, so he quickly threw the bag out and walked into the room. He placed the small box on top of the other presents, and Eyes looked at it curiously, "What's that?" He asked.
"Just some last minute shopping, I forgot someone important on my list and had to go get them a present." Kanone replied, hoping Eyes would leave it at that.
Once again, luck was busy not caring for Kanone and he payed for it, "Who did you forget?" Eyes asked, wondering who was so important, yet so easily forgotten.
"Does it matter?" Kanone asked, a silent plead for Eyes to drop it.
Eyes got the message, but didn't get why Kanone was avoiding him, "It matters to me." Eyes said in a voice that broke Kanone's heart to lie to him anymore.
Kanone cursed Eyes' cuteness, "Well, it's obvious you already know." He stated, "So why are you asking?"
"Because I want to know why you bothered getting me another present. You've already done more than enough for me, and besides you've still got more planned. It really wasn't neccessary to get me anything else."
Kanone shrugged, "Of course I didn't need to, but you're worth it, Eyes. Besides, you don't have any actual presents yet, it would be nice to get you something you can open up."
"What about my suprise tomorrow? I can't open that up?" Eyes asked, now wary of his "suprise".
Kanone smirked, "I suppose you could, but it wouldn't be pleasant. Best to leave that one in the package." Kanone realized how Eyes was looking at him, and figured that statement didn't help much, "Come to think of it, you can't open it."
Eyes' mind had already run through infinite possibilities of what Kanone could have gotten him, but they all involved some sort of opening. What in the world did Kanone get him? Hoping like crazy that the whole package line wasn't some sort of sexual innuendo, Eyes nodded, "Fine, so when do I get that?" He asked, motioning to the velvet box.
Kanone smirked, "In the morning, before I leave I'll give it to you. Your suprise will take up the rest of the day, so the morning is the only time I can give it to you."
Eyes considered this and then nodded again, "Alright, then."
Yawning slightly, Kanone checked his watch. Somehow it had already reached 10 at night, and Kanone wondered where the time went, "And if I'm going to get up in the morning, I need to get to bed." Standing up, he noticed Eyes doing the same, "Now, no peeking." Kanone warned, smiling, "You don't want to ruin your suprise."
Eyes looked annoyed at the childish warning, "Do you honestly think I would look?" He asked, not noticing the playful tone that Kanone had been using.
Kanone shook his head and hugged Eyes, "Of course I don't. Goodnight, Eyes." Kanone leaned in to kiss Eyes and the boy responded by wrapping his arms around Kanone's neck and kissing him back.
After a minute or so, oxygen became an issue, so they pulled apart both slightly panting, "Goodnight." Eyes replied, kissing Kanone quickly once more before disappearing into another room, still pondering his suprise.
Hehehehe, won't he be suprised? Though, I suppose that's the point of a suprise... Anyway, I thought I had a rough idea of when this fic was going to end...that's completely gone now. I really don't know, and I couldn't even guess. Right now I'm planning on 1 to 2 more chapters, but I was also planning on that about three chapters ago. Hope you liked it, review!
