Chapter Two : Rose Petals
It was upon the next morning, cold as the place was, Ayame was indeed surprised that he felt so warm and safe, it was only then that he realized that he had fallen asleep on top of Shigure. It was only 3 in the morning, what had woken him? It was then that he heard banging on the front door, he got up only to retreat and try not to be seen. Mizuka was there, and his eyes showed that he was drunk as usual. Ayame merely shuddered as he heard Mizuka bang. Hatori woke up and went to the door, now everyone knows a Hatori without his morning coffee, tea, and first cigarette of the day is not a happy Hatori, more or less the way he had been woken up wasn't exactly helping either. Hatori opened the door and pulled Mizuka close by his shirt collar.
"Do you have any idea what time it is you bastard? I don't get up for another two hours, what the fuck do you want?"he asked maliciously.
"I want my boyfriend to come home."he said.
"Your boyfriend is sick, he needs to be here, and you are not taking him home until later, I will talk to you later, and you are not to speak to me until I am fully awake."said Hatori, spatting out the words like venom.
The boyfriend was drunk, but nobody was that stupid to fuck with Hatori when he was angry, or tired, and both was just suicidal...he left quickly, driving off. Hatori went back inside only to see a petrified Ayame there.
"You're going...to make me...go back?"he said in a fearful pitiful tone of voice.
Hatori sighed and went to get a cigarrette.
"Yes Ayame, but not without me and Shigure, we are going to go with you and help you in this, you of all people Ayame should know that you can't run from your problems forever...you have to face your fears, and it is the thing someone as strong as you should know by now Ayame..but...that doesn't mean you have to do it alone, you have me and Shigure, and even Yuki will know about this, I am going to inform him and my younger brother who's his boyfriend today to come over here and hear about this Ayame."said Hatori.
"What does it matter if Yuki knows? He hates me Hatori...I have done so many things wrong that I can never take back...I wish he loved me Hatori, but he never will."said Ayame.
Hatori was surprised that Ayame had actually realized this and he merely sighed.
"Well. Ayame, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get yourself into this, Yuki isn't heartless, he will help you if you truly need his help. And trust me, you do need his support in this."said Hatori.
Ayame merely nodded, still crying lightly at the morning's events. Hatori went and began making himself some coffee and tea.
"I met him about three months ago. He was sweet when I first met him, but he did warn me he was coming out of rehab and had a drinking problem. Everything was fine...until his sister died. He went back to the alcohol, getting drunk all the time, he was a violent drunk, but I can't blame him, I just...I'm afraid of him when he's drunk, and most of the time he is...I don't know what to do because I love him when he's sober..."said Ayame.
"I see, well Ayame, I'm sorry, but we're going to get through to him some way, and you are not going to be hurt like this anymore."said Hatori.
Ayame merely nodded in understanding and sat in a chair as Hatori, although it was only 3:30 a.m. called Shigure's house only to have a very angry Kyo answer the phone.
"Who the hell calls at fuckin' 3 in the morning!"came the angry kitten.
"Kyo, shut up, we have an emergency I need Yuki and Hatsuharu over here as soon as possible."said Hatori calmly.
"The damn rat! You're fucking kidding me right! How the hell I am supposed to get him up!"screamed Kyo.
"Figure it out before I tell Kazuma about your language."said Hatori.
"Yeah...alright...sorry Hatori..."came the weak reply.
The phone was hung up, about an hour later Yuki and Haru showed up.
"Hello older brother."said Haru.
"Hello Haru, hello Yuki, I'm surprised Kyo managed to get you both up."saidf Hatori.
"Actually he woke me up and I turned black on him and woke Yuki up by...well...my own personal favorite alarm clock."said Haru.
"You fucked, alright well, at least you're here, we've got a bad situation with Ayame and you both need to listen, because you are going to help."said Hatori.
Yuki groaned only to have Hatori glare at him, going into the house Yuki saw Ayame who was sipping tea...quietly. Once he noticed Yuki he smiled weakly.
"Hello Yuki, how have you been?"he asked nicely and politely, not being brash like usual.
"Ok, who are you, you are not my brother."said Yuki.
"Why not Yuki? Why can't I be your brother, because I'm actually realizing my mistakes now? Because I ask you how you have been?"asked Ayame on the verge of tears.
Yuki was in shock he looked to Hatori who nodded. Yuki went up to Ayame and hugged him.
"What happened older brother? Why are you like this?"came Yuki weakly.
Hatori explained it all thoroughly, all of the stuff that had happened, and why Ayame was like this. At the end Yuki was so shocked that he now was holding on to Ayame practically choking him.
"I'm sorry brother Yuki, for everything, when I hurt you so long ago, pushed you away, never learned of my mistakes..I just want to be a part of your life..."came Ayame sobbing.
"It's ok, I forgive you, but brother, this state you're in is creeping me out more then usual self, please come back."said Yuki.
Ayame smiled.
"Well then I the Great King of all Sohma men shall now say! I do care about you brother and I am sorry for all of our misunderstandings!"came Ayame.
Yuki sighed, well...at least he was back to normal...
"This really is touching, but we've got other things to focus on right now, such as how exactly we're going to do this."said Hatori.
"I'll do it."came Haru's voice.
They all turned to Haru...
"What do you mean?"came Hatori.
"We'll send me in, dressed like Ayame, I don't put up with anything so it'll be an easy thing to do."came Haru.
"One problem Haru, you look nothing like Ayame, I mean...we could dress you up and all, but there would be no possible way for that to work."said Hatori.
"I'll do it."came Yuki.
This surprised everyone who gasped, even Shigure who was still sleeping seemed to turn uncomfortably in his sleep.
"What?"came the choke from Hatori, he was surprised to no ends.
"I'll do it for big brother, I love him, no matter what he'll always be my brother, and he'd do the same for me."said Yuki.
"Oh Yuki, my little brother, thank you so much."said Ayame sincerely and quietly so to not awaken Shigure.
And so the make over began...
