Thirty Minutes
Ginji clenched his eyes tightly as he drifted from the world of dreams to the land of the living. He felt really comfortable and very warm. He slowly opened his eyes and let them focus for a few minutes. His pillow seemed odd. It wasn't fluffy like he had remembered from the night before. He tilted his head up and down before finally noticing. He sat bolt up in bed and took deep breaths as his eyes widened. He glanced down and off to his side.
He had been sleeping on Akabane's arm.
Luckily, the dark haired male was still asleep so he couldn't see the blush that had formed on Ginji's sleepy face. He sighed deeply before removing the blankets from his lower half and getting out of bed. He watched the other male for any sign of movement but found none. He didn't want to awaken the sleeping male.
Ginji soon found himself in the kitchen. He sat at the small table and folded his arms on top of it, resting his head on them. He stared ahead at the counter with blurred, sleepy eyes. He had a good sleep but almost everybody in the entire world still felt drowsy upon awakening. He yawned as his eyes drifted shut once again. Akabane's sleeping form entered his mind. He opened his eyes slowly and sighed. Why did I picture that? He lifted his head and glanced towards the clock that hung above the small table.
"It's nine thirty. I think I should take a shower. I know it's been a little while." With the plan set, he stood and padded softly down the hall.
He quietly closed Akabane's bedroom door and entered the bathroom. It was on the other side and a few feet away from the bedroom. He entered and closed the door before starting to run the water.
Akabane turned on his side before his eyes slid open. His expression resembled a lost puppy. There was a slight from on his face from waking up and his eyes wanted to close and return to a sleeping state. Then he noticed. Ginji wasn't in bed and he heard water running in the distance. He sat up and allowed the blankets to pool in his lap. He brought a hand up to rub at his eyes. It's not coming from the kitchen. It wouldn't sound this much. It must be from the bathroom. He slid his legs from the bed and stood, raising his hands to stretch out his stiff muscles. He left his room and stood before the bathroom door. He heard a voice within it. It was definitely Ginji's.
"So he sings when he showers." Akabane smiled before resting his hand on the doorknob.
He twisted it slowly before opening the door. All he could see was the blond's form through the slightly clear, yet unfocused material of the shower. An evil smile formed on Akabane's face. He had an idea to do something that would provide a very entertaining scene. He closed the door quietly before simply standing against the wall before it. He didn't know how long Ginji had been in the shower, but he would wait for however long it took for him to finish.
Ten minutes later found Ginji turning off the shower. Akabane faked sleepiness and opened the bathroom door. Ginji froze with a towel in his hands. Akabane would have been smiling as evilly as he had been but that would have disturbed the scene. The two stared at each other for a few minutes before Ginji forced himself to move and wrap the towel around his waist. Akabane figured that was the time to react. He turned and left the room, standing just outside the door with his smile.
"Excuse me Ginji-kun." He managed to hide the amusement in his voice.
"Th-that's a-alright." Ginji mumbled stuttered words.
"You should have locked the door."
"I d-didn't think y-you w-would have woken u-up." His voice sounded flustered.
Akabane turned back around and leaned on the doorway as he watched the younger male. Ginji was sitting on the edge of the bathtub and glanced up when he noticed that Akabane had moved. A deep blush was on his face. It was a very interesting sight to behold indeed. Droplets of water glistened on his skin as he sat before the older male.
"You shouldn't be nervous. I'm male as well so you don't have anything I haven't seen already." Ginji nodded slowly at his words but the blush remained. "I will go start breakfast now." He turned from the room and entered his own.
Ginji shook his head quickly from side to side. He wasn't blushing over Akabane seeing him. He had blushed at the adorable, sleepy expression he had. He was trying to deny it but it was a very cute expression. At long last, he sighed and stood. He left the bathroom and entered Akabane's room. He couldn't stay in a towel all day; he needed to change. But he stopped immediately after opening the door.
Akabane was facing him, about to put on a white dress shirt. Ginji was staring at the scars over his body. He had a long gash on the left side of his body. It ran from where his neck connected to his shoulder down to waist. A small cut traced the side of his neck as well. After a few more seconds he caught himself and started to stumble with apologies.
"It's quite alright." Akabane giggled at him. "I know my appearance is odd so I don't blame you for staring."
"But I'm s-still sorry." Ginji hung his head in defeat.
The day is off to a very amusing start. Akabane thought to himself as he placed his shirt on and started to button it up, leaving a few top buttons undone.
Ginji flipped through the channels, searching desperately for something to watch. His search was in vain. He stopped on a channel, bored of surfing and saw a commercial for a movie. It was Metallix and out on DVD. A bright smile formed on Ginji's face. He hopped from the couch to the bedroom where Akabane was working at his desk.
"Akabane-san!" Ginji asked excitingly.
"Hm?" Akabane glanced up from his work.
"Can we go rent some movies! I just saw a preview for one that looked interesting."
"I suppose we could. You can also choose some for tomorrow when I'm gone."
"Oh? You have work to do?"
"Yes, I do. It's during the night though and I should be back in the early morning sometime."
"Alright. Let's go, let's go!" Ginji ran down the hall to get his shoes on.
It had taken the duo half an hour to find some movies to watch. They went through the entire movie store, down every aisle and found eight to watch. They were: Blitz, Mistaken Fluke, Metallix, Until Death…Do We Part, The Reason I'm Everything You Want, Angel From My Nightmare, Ironically Cliché, and Twilyte Rapture. They were going to watch two tonight and Ginji would watch the rest by himself tomorrow.
The first movie was Mistaken Fluke. The two sat on the couch, all lights off, and a bowl of popcorn in Ginji's lap. He insisted on buying it when they were at the movie store.
Finally, after thirty minutes into the movie, Akabane was going to act out a small plan he had thought of while wandering down the rows of movies. Ginji had stopped eating popcorn due to the movie. The older male slowly inched his hand under the blond's chin and turned it to face him with his index finger. Ginji's eyes were still partially fixed on the screen but that changed the second he felt pressure on his lips. His eyes widened as he stared at Akabane. It had only lasted for a few seconds but it left Ginji dazed.
"I have work to do so I leave you for tonight." He stood and left to his room.
Ginji watched him go, still stunned. When the door closed, he quickly raised his hand and covered his mouth. Why…I don't…He… The poor younger male was very confused about the situation. He was starting to doubt it had happened but when he started to move his hand, his lips tingled. He traced them with his fingertips for a few seconds.
"But…why…" No response came.
Meanwhile, Akabane sat at his desk, turning on his computer. A smile was on his face. It resembled the one he wore after tearing a person to shreds. It was of triumph and satisfaction. But there was still much more he wanted to do. He had wanted to do more tonight but figured he could do more another night. He would have fun with the blond before acting. As the seconds of his life ticked by, he could hardly contain his excitement over his plan. It had begun and it would finish how he desired.
He lifted his hand and rested his fingertips lightly over his lips.
"My dear Ginji-kun…I will get another taste soon." He smiled at the screen. "Soon indeed."
