Monopoly
By: Shozetsku
Disclaimer/Warnings/Authoress Notes:
-I do not own Juvenile Orion, Sakurako Gokurakuin does, nor do I own "If Only She Knew" by Michelle Branch but I suggest listening to it while reading this, it's very fitting and the initial inspiration behind this fic. The monopoly bit was just an 'add on' I thought of later, but I don't own that either.
-ItsuKana, cursing, and Lots o' shonen ai. -- Don't approve of this? Don't read it!
OH my eff-ing god! I actually updated this F#&ing fic? I left this for HOW long? I had infuriating writers block for over six months? -bows till I die.- XP feel free to tell me off for leaving this for so long.
... This used to be a lemon... but I hated it so much and wrote and rewrote it so many times that I finally decided to leave it really fluffy. Again, feel free to tell me off. But only if you've been waiting for ever for me and I let you down. I like it much better fluffy. but ack, just read and flame, if you've been waiting since the last time Iupdated this fic you deserve to send me a flame and I deserve to get them.

"Naoya, if you do anything drastic while we're gone you're going to regret it!" Haruna chided her older brother. Naoya barely heard her, "Hn" was her only reply. Haruna took her bags and walked out to the car with her mother.
As they were driving to the hotel they're mother looked worried about leaving him alone.
"Haruna, are you sure it's alright, leaving him home in his state?" she asked.
Haruna laughed, "Don't worry mom, Naoya may be older but I'm the one who's smarter." When her mother still looked worried she elaborated, "I've called for a sitter to watch him while we're gone."
"Who on earth did you get? They had better be able to handle Naoya if his powers get out of control."
"I did mother, a friend of ours. And don't worry, Naoya's going to know better then to use his powers."
Still not entirely reassured but trusting Haruna, her mother left the conversation at that.
Not half an hour after they left Kaname let himself in using the key in the flower pot that Haruna had put there. He shook off the backpack on his shoulder and began looking around for Itsuki wherever the hell he was.
He found him in his room, on his bed, with none of the lights on in the room. He sighed, he had a lot to apologize for. He looked at the bedside table and saw an uneaten tray of food. He picked up the tray and took it to the kitchen. Itsuki looked up to see who was in his room, he couldn't believe his eyes, he was sure he was now delirious from the lack of food. He sat up and followed the other boy and watched Kaname stow the food in the fridge.
Was he really there? In his house? Was he really going to take care of him? This was just a dream right?
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to ask me why I'm here?" Kaname's voice was soft, friendly, and if Itsuki didn't know any better, affectionate.
"Why?"
"Because your sister made me take a good long look in the mirror, she made me see that 'first love' doesn't mean 'only love' or 'true love'. She showed me that the second time I fell in love was better then the first." Kaname said staring Itsuki straight in the eye. His gaze was so intense that Itsuki couldn't keep looking into his eyes.
"What about Kirihara-san?" Itsuki dreaded the answer.
"Are you kidding? She gave her blessing and wanted to know if she could throw a party in celebration of our relationship." Kaname said with a laugh. Itsuki laughed too, then he felt a bit dizzy and hugged the doorframe.
Kaname was at his side in an instant. "Should you be walking around Naoya? Here, sit down. I'm making you lunch whether you want me to or not."
Itsuki wanted to cry. This was better then his dreams, because only in real life could Kaname holding him close could feel this good. This warm. This safe. Kaname lead him to the table then started to fix him something to eat. Kaname called over his shoulder, "Are you feeling up to having a sandwich, Koi?" He nodded and then, he really did start to cry, soft silent tears of overflowing happiness. He sat there, feeling ridiculous but giddy, just silently crying. Kaname turned to see him like that, and plate of food in hand he sat down next to Itsuki and waited smiling just as silently.
Itsuki was struck with waves of ravenous hunger. Several times Kaname had to intervene and say things like, "Easy, easy. Chew your food or your going to choke." "If you want to get sick you can keep eating like that, otherwise slow down." And, "There's all the time in the world, enjoy the food."
Itsuki was tired of crying, and of sulking. He was all around just plain tired. After eating Kaname helped him to his bed, where he slept soundly with Kaname by his bedside.
He awoke to Kaname reading a book in a chair right next to his bed. Had he slept for long? Kaname looked up at the sound of his rustling bed sheets.
"Have a nice nap?" Kaname asked with a small smile.
"What time is it?" Itsuki asked a little blearily.
"A little after dinner, are you hungry?"
"Very." Itsuki said with an attempt at getting up. Kaname pushed him back down.
"Crying, refusing meals, staying up for days, and thinking depressing thoughts after contemplating suicide can do that to a guy." He said gravely.
"Sorry." Itsuki looked away from Kaname's piercing eyes.
"What for? If I hadn't gone and broken your heart over something so stupid you would have never had to go through that. It's my fault, and I have a lot to apologize for, but first things first. You need to get better." Kaname got up and walked out of Itsuki's room in the direction of the kitchen, before he came back the wonderful smell of miso and curry and other things hit him and his mouth began to water. He sat up as Kaname placed the tray over Itsuki's lap.
Kaname smiled teasingly, "Are you feeling up to eating or should I spoon feed you?" Itsuki pouted at the comment, "Feed me then if you're so willing." He said with a huff. But Kaname shook his head, "If you're feeling well enough to be huffy with me you can feed yourself." Itsuki stared at him, his mouth agape; Kaname had tricked him! Of all the nerve! To pick on a sick person. Kaname you are so -!
All thought was banished as Kaname laughed softly and put a spoonful of delicious miso soup was put into his still open mouth. "MMM!"
Kaname laughed again. "I'm glad you like it."

Ituski awoke to a pleasant sight. Kaname was sleeping with his head pillowed by his arm, with the most innocent look on his face. His other hand clasped in Itsuki's. Itsuki gave the hand an affectionate squeeze and kissed Kaname's forehead. Kaname stirred, "Morning glorious." Itsuki said with a second kiss. Kaname sat up and stretched, "You bet I'm glorious. Bask in my awesomeness mortal!"
"Jerk." Itsuki said, punching him softly in the shoulder.
"Your jerk." Kaname shot back.
"Too right." Itsuki said, sitting up with a nod, "But still a jerk."
"Shut up and give me a real kiss me good morning, like the ones you used to give me." Kaname said leaning over the blonde.
Itsuki smiled, "As you wish."
They were less then an inch apart when they heard the click and saw the flash. Kaname was at the window in an instant to the great surprise of one Tsukasa Amou.
"What are you—" Kaname started, then decided to focus on more important matters, he made a grab for the camera. Tsukasa held it out of reach and seemingly incinerated it.
"I am sorry you two. But Itsuki-chan wanted proof you two had made up and Master ordered me to and paid me 2,000 yen (its like paying someone twenty bucks, but the yen is smaller then the dollar... I think.) to do it. She has the camera now. I just sent it to her."
He ran off, Kaname shouted out the window, "What'll Nakaura-sensei say about this?" Tsukasa turned to shout back, "This is between me, you two, master, and God, unless you want Tonomori-san to lecture you about your relationship!"
"Go get your wings clipped, you fallen angel!" Itsuki screamed from his bed. "You just killed the mood!"
Laughing, Tsukasa ran faster, not the least bit sorry for what he did. Itsuki huffed and leaned back against his pillows. "You could have gone after him, you know. With your wings you'd of caught him in an instant."
Kaname shut the window and pulled the drapery shut to be safe. "That's true, but that would require me leaving your side wouldn't it? That won't do."
Itsuki blinked and thanked whoever was listening for giving him a sister that loved him so much, and for giving him a Kaname who might even love him more. Itsuki cried again, laughing and smiling till his cheeks hurt. Kaname got up to get him water. But Itsuki knew that he would always be back.
It was the best feeling in the world.

OWARI!
Hmm. Not the ending I originally anticipated... at all. I was going to write a lemon but it didn't seem right. It kinda ruined the story and I like this fluffy ending a bit better. Wow this I was late.
How long did I leave this story for? -checks-
O.O
Damn. You people must hate me.
Anyways, tell me how much the ending sucked monkey b#lls. And even though I really like the ending how it is, if you want a lemony epilogue I'll write one for you guys as an apology. It's the least I can do for putting this off for so damn long.
