Chapter 10. A Light in the Darkness

Kiku waited impatiently by his window. He tapped his fingers on the sill and peeked behind the curtain. It was the day before the show. Opening night was going to be on Saturday. Normally, he might have walked home from school with his friends, but they all wanted to get into a group and figure out the plan before coming over. Plus, they still had to convince Lovino to come along, apparently. Kiku had told his parents on Thursday that he had a bunch of friends coming over. They were so excited that he had friends that they promised to get out of his hair. They said that they would go out for dinner and a movie, which they did do, after leaving a plate of cookies on the table for Kiku and his friends. Kiku checked his watch, it was 5:30. He wasn't sure how much time it was going to take for them to teach him how to kiss, but he figured it might take a while. The show was early tomorrow, and he wanted to get in bed by 10.

He checked behind the curtain again. There were some figures coming from the distance. He couldn't mistake the group of them. They were all on top of each other, shouting and laughing. You could hear them from a distance. Kiku covered his face with his hands. What an embarrassing group of friends. Lovino was trailing the group with arms folded. He was pouting obviously. Feliciano kept trailing back to talk to him, but he always yelled at him. Kiku was becoming nervous. His friends were getting closer and he didn't know what would happen when they arrived.

Kiku took a few deep breaths, and before he knew it there was a knock at his door. And then another. And then another. Three people were knocking on his door madly. He jumped up and opened it. Francis, Antonio, and Gilbert fell into the house. Kiku had to jump out of the way. Arthur was covering his mouth from embarrassment. Elizabeta began to pull Gilbert up and Lovino just yelled at Antonio.

"Get up you Bastardo! What do you think you're doing falling into someone's house! You always do this to me, you always embarrass me!"

Antonio got up and brushed himself off. "It happens, Lovi, don't worry about it."

Kiku took a deep breath. Before anyone could speak again he raised his voice. "Hello, welcome! I have cookies!"

Feliciano jumped up. "Ve~? Cookies? I want some!" He ran inside and found the plate within the minute. He bounced in, holding the cookies, already eating one.

Gilbert went over to Feliciano and took one too. "Kesese I didn't know we'd be getting cookies! This is going to be more fun than I thought."

Antonio came up to Kiku. "Hey Kiku, I haven't seen you since class!" He laughed.

Kiku swallowed hard. "N-No sir, I guess not."

Antonio blinked at him. "Say, there's no need to call me "sir" here! I'm your friend! Besides, how old do you think I am anyway?"

Kiku shrugged. He didn't want to say it out loud.

Antonio smirked. "Well then, I'm only twenty-three."

Kiku blinked. "But you're a teacher! Don't you have to go to school for that? Isn't it longer than regular college?"

Antonio leaned against the wall. "Well, am I a good teacher?" Kiku nodded. "Then I guess you know why I get to teach early."

"So it's only a five year difference?" Kiku blinked. He couldn't believe it was only five years, four for Lovino.

"Yep! Five years." Antonio grinned.

"Say, Kiku…" Francis came up and slung an arm around Kiku's shoulders. "I'd like to get started."

"S-Started?" Kiku turned to face him and was startled by how close Francis was to his face.

"Oui, have you got a room we can go into?"

"A room? L-Like my bedroom?"

"Yes!" Francis jumped up and clapped his hands. "Your bedroom! That's perfect!"

"Kiku, are you sure you want to do this?" Elizabeta came up to him and looked him in the eye.

Kiku hesitated, then nodded. "Yes, I'm sure."

She smiled down to him. He smiled back up at her. "Okay, let's do this then."

All of them went upstairs to Kiku's room. Lovino and Feliciano trailed behind. Lovino was still pouting and Feliciano still had the plate of cookies. They barely fit into Kiku's room. It was a funny sight, almost. Francis and Arthur sat on the bed, Feliciano laid on the floor, and Ludwig sat crisscross on the floor next to him. Antonio sat down on the chair by Kiku's computer and pulled Lovino, who wouldn't stop squirming, down onto his lap. Gilbert didn't know where to go, so he sat down on the edge of the bed with Elizabeta in his lap. Kiku didn't have a big bed like Alfred; it was just a twin-size. He stood there awkwardly in the midst of his friends, who were oddly silent.

"So um, how do we start?" Kiku said as he looked around the bunch of them. Though he decided not to look at Lovino and Antonio because honestly, the thought of the two of them together weirded him out.

Francis smirked and twirled his hair. "Do you have a broom?"

"And a pillow?" Antonio added.

"A broom and a pillow?" Kiku put his finger to his lip. He was lost as to where this might go. "Yes, I've got them."

"Well go get them!" Gilbert said as he made a shooing motion with his hand.

Kiku nodded and abruptly went to go get them. He went downstairs and into the kitchen for the broom, it was behind the refrigerator as it usually is. He then grabbed one of the pillows from the couch in the living room and went to meet everyone in his bedroom again.

"Okay. I got the stuff." He said as he dropped it on the ground. "Now what?"

Francis smiled. "Great! Now you sit down."

"Sit down?" Kiku asked as he slowly got on the ground, it was the only available spot left in the room. "How is sitting going to help me out?"

"Ve~ you'll see!" Feliciano said as he ate another cookie.

Ludwig grunted. "I can't believe we're actually going through with this."

Elizabeta chuckled. "I think it'll be a good learning experience."

"Ve~ you just want to see us boys kissing, Elizabeta!" Feliciano giggled and pecked Ludwig on the cheek.

"Feliciano, what the fuck are you doing?!" Lovino screeched.

"Ve~ I-I'm kissing Ludwig." Feliciano started to cry.

Lovino, starting to see his brother cry in front of so many people, started to pull back a bit. "F-Fine! Just don't kiss the kraut in front of me!"

"And don't talk that way about my girlfriend!" Gilbert grunted.

"Aw, Gil it's okay." Elizabeta smiled and petted his hair.

"Excuse me, but my question?" Kiku brought the conversation back to the question he had just asked about being on the floor.

"Oh, yes! Your question!" Francis smiled and leaned back on his hands.

"We're going to demonstrate first." Antonio said, and moved his hand around Lovino's waist.

"Get your hand off of me!" Lovino screeched and wiggled his way out of Antonio's grasp.

"Demonstrate?" Kiku asked.

"Yes! We're going to kiss our dates and you're going to watch." Francis said as he slung an arm around Arthur.

"Watch and learn" Gilbert added.

"Um okay…" Kiku said as he leaned back on his hands.

"Us too, Luddy?" Feliciano asked, as he crawled over closer to Ludwig.

"No, Feli. We're just here to make sure things don't get out of hand." Ludwig said as he patted the top of Feliciano's head.

"Daww, I thought it sounded like fun." Feliciano pouted and dropped himself in Ludwig's lap. Lovino made a loud huffing noise when Feliciano did so and Antonio had to calm him down before he burst into another screaming fit.

"Maybe another time." Ludwig grunted.

"Okay, ready?" Francis asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Kiku said, and sighed heavily.

"First Arthur and I will go, then Antonio and Lovino, and then Elizabeta and Gilbert."

Francis pointed to everyone as he spoke.

"That sounds fine." Kiku said as he nodded along.

"Okay then! Let the kissing lessons begin! Now, all of us kiss differently so watch closely for the different styles!" Francis announced before leaning in to kiss Arthur. It was like watching a Disney kiss, in the beginning. Slowly they leaned into each other and closed their eyes. They came together and met very romantically. Kiku felt like flowers might come down and start raining in his room. Though the moment was ruined fast when they started to become more aggressive with one another. Gilbert and Antonio started cheering them on and Ludwig had to break them up after a few minutes.

Both of them wiped spit off of their mouths. "I think that was demonstration enough." Francis said as he patted Arthur's back. "You didn't do too badly yourself."

Arthur laughed. "I did better than you! Imagine the two of them kissing like that on stage."

"I think it's going to have to be a combination of the three styles in order for it to work perfectly." Antonio said.

"Yes, I agree." Gilbert bounced up and down. "He's going to have to watch all of us."

"Boy they really went at it though, didn't they?" Elizabeta said as she clapped her hands lightly.

Gilbert glared at her a bit. "Hey, don't get too carried away."

Elizabeta waved him off. "Don't worry about it Gil."

Gilbert rolled his eyes and pulled her closer. "I hope that I don't need to worry about it."

"W-Who was next again?" Kiku interrupted, wanting to move on with the process.

"It was us!" Antonio ginned and waved his hand.

"Don't look so fucking excited!" Lovi screeched and pulled his hand down.

"But Lovino, I am excited!" Antonio laughed.

"Let's just get this over with! I don't want to be here much longer and I don't want to look at anyone faces any longer! Especially potato bastard's!"

Ludwig grunted. "Danke."

Gilbert looked angry. "Hey! Don't talk about my brother like that!"

"You think I give a fuck?" Lovino gave Gilbert the finger. "You're just kraut number two!"

"That's it!" Gilbert said and began to stand up. Ludwig took Feliciano's head out of his lap and came over to Gilbert.

"Calm down, he's always like this."

"I know and it's really starting to get on my nerves!" Gilbert roared. Lovino was now terrified and gripped onto Antonio for his life.

"Gilbert! Now is not the time! Now sit back down!" Ludwig shouted. "We can discuss your problems with certain parties later!"

"But Lud!"

"No buts! Sit down. This time, right now, is about Kiku, not you and your silly shenanigans!"

"Geez, fine!" Gilbert relaxed and pulled Elizabeta back on to his lap.

"Good." Ludwig sat back down on the floor and Feliciano resumed his position in Ludwig's lap.

"Can we kiss now?" Antonio asked as he pulled the ever squirming Lovino back onto his lap.

"Wait, before we get on with this crazy shit I need to know if any of you are going to report us!"

Antonio smiled. "They won't, they're my friends."

"I want to hear them say it you fucking bastardo!" Lovino screeched.

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"We won't tell." Gilbert said.

"Swear on my mother's grave." Arthur held his hand up in a swearing fashion.

"Ve~ you won't have to worry about Ludwig and I!" Feliciano chimed in.

"And...I won't say anything." Kiku said, even if he did think it was weird.

"Okay!" Antonio grinned and looked at Lovino. "Let's kiss then!"

"Yes, just get on with it," Arthur remarked as Francis played with his hair.

"Great!" Antonio grinned, and before Lovino could get out more than a loud screech, pulled him into a very quick kiss. Lovino looked angry at first, but eventually melted into the kiss. He even wrapped his arms around Antonio for a moment. Kiku also thought this type of kiss was really beautiful. Like he'd like to see it in slow motion. It was funny how easily Lovino seemed to soften in Antonio's arms. It was obvious to Kiku then that they really did like each other. It only lasted until Antonio's hands went too low, then Lovino flipped out.

He pulled away from the kiss at the speed of light. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"

Antonio looked dazed. "I-I um…I was kissing you, Lovi!"

Lovino thwapped him on the side of the head. "My ass you were! There are people here! How could you embarrass me like that?!" Lovino screeched and began to cry.

Antonio's expression looked like he'd been through this before with Lovino. "Lovi, how did I embarrass you? I didn't mean to."

"You did! You did mean to embarrass me!" Lovino hit Antonio on the chest a few times.

Antonio held his hands steady. "Lovi, what did I do to embarrass you?"

Lovino sobbed and smashed his face into Antonio's chest. "You tried to grab my butt!"

Antonio chuckled. "Lovino, I'm sorry. I just got carried away."

Lovino hit him again on the head but continued to sob into his chest. "Yes, yes you did Bastardo!"

"Well, I'm sorry." Antonio kissed the top of his head a few times. "I won't do it again in public."

"Good! You'd better not!" Lovino threw in one extra hit to the head, and Antonio restrained his wrists.

"I promise." Antonio let go of Lovino's hands and petted his back. He mouthed to the group.

"This is normal"

Everyone rolled their eyes, except Arthur, Francis and Feliciano. Arthur and Francis were necking again, and Feliciano had fallen asleep. Ludwig frowned at them. "How about we move on? We're running out of time." He looked at his watch. "We've been here longer than it has seemed."

Gilbert grinned. "Yes! Let's move on, it's Liz and I's turn right?"

"Well, you're the only ones left." Ludwig smirked at him.

Gilbert waved his hand at him. "Oh, I was just asking for effect."

Ludwig rolled his eyes. "Sure."

Elizabeta turned on Gilbert's lap so that she was straddling him. She patted his chest impetuously. "Come on Gil, don't bother yourself with petty arguments."

Gilbert turned to her and put his arms around her waist. He touched his nose to hers and grinned. "Aw Lizzy, you're just looking forward to kissing the awesome me~"

Elizabeta smirked and hit him on the back of the head. "Fat chance!"

Gilbert only chuckled. "I love you, Lizzy." He then leaned in and kissed her very passionately. This might be the type of kiss you would see at someone's wedding. It was innocent enough for the onlookers to see, but there was a fire behind it. Elizabeta ran her hands through Gilbert's hair and he pulled her closer. It seemed like something that they had been waiting to do for hundreds of years, but at the same time something they did every day. It was truly mystical in its own way. How could they convert so much energy into one kiss? When they pulled away, Kiku let out his breath. He had been holding it. It seemed like everyone in the room had been holding it. Even Francis and Arthur had stopped kissing just to see them. The only sound had been the soft breathing of the sleeping Feliciano.

"Now, that's how you do a kiss!" Elizabeta boasted and held a hand up for Gilbert to high five.

He hit her hand hard. "Oh yeah! The awesome me and my beautiful girlfriend have shown you all~! Kesesese!" He puffed up his chest and kissed up her arm.

Kiku drew his legs into his chest. "So, now what do I do?"

Francis smiled. "Now it's your turn."

"My turn? But how am I supposed to kiss someone when I don't have anyone here?" Kiku was truly confused.

"Well, you kiss the broom and the pillow of course!" Antonio grinned and motioned to the two objects.

"U-Um okay…?" Kiku picked them up. "But how shall I combine the three techniques?"

Gilbert beamed. "That's easy! You use the quickness of Antonio's technique, the tongue of Francis', and the passion of mine!"

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Kiku said as he stared at all of them. "How do I know if I'm even doing it right?"

"That's what we're here for! To make sure you get it perfect." Francis said as he lay down in Arthur's lap. "We're like trained professionals."

Gilbert chuckled. "Totally~"

"Oh….So what is each tool for, then?" Kiku held up the broom and pillow in a questioning manner.

"Well, the broom is so we can watch your tongue technique." Francis smiled. "That will mostly be me though."

"T-Tounge technique? Don't you think that's really…in my personal space?" Kiku said as he stared, bewildered at Francis.

"Do you want to get back together with Alfred?" Francis asked, eyebrows raised at him.

"Well yes, but-"

"No buts! Tongue technique or no Alfred!" Francis held a finger up. Everyone was staring at Kiku. It made him feel uncomfortable.

"I-I-" Kiku let his shoulders slump in defeat. He wanted Alfred back more than anything. Even if Alfred had been mean, he knew it was just his father's words. "Tongue technique it is, then."

Francis smiled. "Good boy."

"Though I don't understand how kissing a broom is going to help me with my tongue…"

"You kiss the handle of course, then I can watch your tongue." Francis grinned.

"That's...really creepy." Kiku cringed a bit at the thought.

"You already agreed to this!" Francis raised his eyebrows and looked at him pleadingly. Kiku was a bit frustrated but nodded his head in reluctant agreement.

"And what about the pillow?" Kiku held it up, afraid of what they might say.

"That is for passion." Antonio pointed out.

"Yes! Antonio and I will be monitoring that more than, Franny over there." Gilbert chuckled and put his hands behind his head.

"Hey!" Francis yelled and grabbed Kiku's pillow. He threw it at Gilbert, who was still on the edge of the bed. "Call me by my real name!"

Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. Francis" He made a big show when he said Francis' name. Gesturing his hands and everything.

Francis scoffed. "Still better than Franny."

Before they could start fighting, Ludwig spoke. "How about we get this moving? Remember what I said about time?"

"Yeah, yeah." Gilbert waved Ludwig off. "Let's get this show on the road."

So the lessons commenced. Over and over again Kiku kissed the broom and the pillow. He received criticism from everyone. Feliciano eventually woke up and started helping. Lovino even jumped in sometimes. It seemed like he really wanted to care in his own way. Kiku's mouth got sore after a while and they all took a snack break. Though Kiku mostly drank water. Before his jaw had fully recovered they got him back to work, kissing the broom and the pillow though. Kiku had no idea how much time was passing. Minutes? Hours? All he knew was that his tongue was sore and his jaw hurt. They kept telling him things like, "No! Curl your tongue!" Or, "Press the pillow into your face more!" Sometimes one of them would come up and re adjust his position, or hold his shoulders. Kiku's neck was even getting a little sore. He kept hitting his tongue against the stick of the broom and Francis kept shouting at him for that. Kiku had to go "around the stick in a romantic manner…" according to Francis. It was aggravating, but definitely a learning experience for Kiku.

It was late when everyone left. Very late. Kiku was tired, and the other eight looked tired too. Yet they claimed before they left that Kiku had the technique down to a tee. That he couldn't mess it up if he tried. They made him rehearse it enough times. Francis had even asked if Kiku wanted to try it on him, but Arthur hit him, and Kiku refused anyway. Feliciano took the rest of the cookies home and Kiku cleaned up his bedroom. His parents came home about an hour later and asked him how his visit with friends had been. Kiku told them it had been fun, though he had mixed feeling about that. Usually a visit from his friends was fun, so he didn't worry about the white lie. Kiku went to bed looking forward to capturing Alfred's heart tomorrow. Before he fell asleep, he found under the covers a video tape that Elizabeta had left for him. What a sly dog. He would have to repay her. Perhaps he could watch it this weekend.

Kiku fell asleep dreaming of knights that looked like Alfred, on tall white horses. They had flowers around them and the sun was always setting. It was all very romantic.

It was now the day of the play and Kiku waited nervously backstage, he shifted uncomfortably in his dress. It was almost time for his scene. He looked down at his costume. He would rather have worn the gift Alfred gave him. It had been too sad to touch though after their fight. Kiku's costume was a long, pink, princess dress. He was so short they had to get him one for younger kids, so it was really done up. There were sparkles on the skirt of the dress, as well as many, many layers. They even made him wear a petticoat. It puffed out too. The top of the dress wasn't sparkly, and the waistline was tied together with a really big bow. It was meant to look like it was strapless, but there were tiny, light pink straps holding it up. It fanned out above the bow, and the fabric was decorated with flowers. It was itchy.

Kiku could see where he was supposed to enter on stage. Up the steps of the "castle" and into the "tower." He patted the bottom part of the dress and sparkles rained down. His shoes were also pink. They were sparkling, pink, high heels. He couldn't stand very well in them, as he was used to wearing sneakers. Since his hair was short, they put a long black wig on him. It was curly around the bottom. That was also itchy.

Finally, the scene between the two leads ended and everything went dark. Kiku climbed the stairs into the tower very unsteadily. He needed the help of two techs (people who worked backstage). It was cold way up high on stage. The top of the tower wasn't really inside. It was just a piece of wood for the audience and then an empty space for Kiku. This was much more enjoyable when Kiku had been wearing his sweatshirt and jeans. Now, cold air nipped up his skirt and legs, as well as around his arms. The lights flew on to begin the scene. That was a bit warmer.

Kiku looked out his window as he was directed to do and looked for Alfred, who would enter soon. In reality he could see the unhappy Alfred off stage. He looked handsome though, he was in a suit of armor. Or at least some chain mail and boots. He carried a helmet with him too. Kiku sighed. He wished that Alfred realized what he was doing. Alfred was a sweet kid. Kiku didn't think he'd hurt anyone intentionally, or without a strong influence. The scene began as Alfred stepped out on stage.

"And I," Kiku started as he looked down on Alfred. "One of the lovely maidens, looks out to find thee a fine knight at my tower. What be your purpose fine knight?"

Alfred looked up at Kiku."I find thee, fair maiden, to be the most beautiful in the land to mine eyes, and though I am no wealthy prince, I would like to declare my love for thee."

"Why, fair Knight, I wouldn't care whether you were a rich prince or a poor pauper, you are my fair Knight. I accept your declaration of love and return it with my own." Kiku rested his face in his hands.

"Then, fair maiden, might I come up your tower to claim you?"

"Please do, good sir, please come and take me from this place."

And with that, Alfred slowly came up the tower to get Kiku. He clomped his way up each step and picked Kiku up effortlessly. He then carefully walked back down the steps and they stood before the audience. Kiku's arms were wrapped around Alfred's neck. They looked at each other lovingly. Then Kiku spoke.

"Oh brave knight, let me hear your name again so I may not forget it."

"My name, fair maiden, be that of many days old. You may call me Joshua. And you, fine maiden? What might I call you, so that name may never leave my lips or my heart."

"You may call me what you like, long as the name stays in your heart when you think of me. Call me by the flowers or the moon or what you think is beautiful, lest it not be another woman. And when you cannot think of something more beautiful than my name, than call me Josephine."

"All well, then, Josephine. On this eve I pledge my love to a face as fine as yours. One so exotic and beautiful."

"And I too pledge my love to you, Joshua, brave knight who came for me."

Alfred set Kiku down on the stage. He was supposed to kiss Kiku, but Kiku had other plans. Before Alfred could act, Kiku used the technique. He held Alfred and pulled him into a kiss quickly, and surprisingly as Antonio had done to Lovino. Alfred tensed in surprise for a few seconds, as soon as he relaxed into the kiss he inserted Gilbert's passion which Alfred quickly succumbed to. Lastly, Kiku used Francis' tongue technique, which had been practiced for so many hours last night that Kiku's tongue was still sore. He didn't care, though. Alfred was melting in his hands. The audience cheered, the curtain closed, and they continued to kiss. A few techs had to pull them apart.

They stood on stage staring at each other. Alfred looked like he had stars in his eyes. "Kiku…I-wow…"

Kiku held Alfred's hands tightly. "Alfred…"

"I want you back." Alfred said suddenly. "No, wait I mean…I- Can we actually sit down somewhere?"

Kiku nodded and walked with Alfred backstage. No one paid attention to them like Kiku thought they might. Instead, there had been another lemonade incident and that was the focus of attention. Kiku brought Alfred outside and they sat on the stone blocks that sat by the trees near the parking lot.

"So…" Kiku said. "What do you want to talk about?"

Alfred shuffled his feet for a moment. It took him a bit, but he did finally look up at Kiku. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry for being a dick, after you tried to help me, no less. I'm sorry I called you names and punched you. I'm sorry I fought with you and acted like a total ass. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings…!" Alfred sniffled and tears started to fall from his eyes. "I'm sorry I was so mean, Kiku! It's not like me to be like that. It's just…after you left. My mom came in and then my parents started fighting. When they calmed down they made me sit down and my dad…he told me horrible things about being gay and what it might do to me."

Kiku rubbed Alfred's back and held him close. "You don't have to talk about it, Alfred."

"But how will you know I really mean it when I say I'm sorry?" Alfred sniffled and looked at Kiku in the eye.

"Because, look at you Alfred. You're sniveling and crying and you're worrying about whether I'll forgive you or not."

Alfred chuckled a bit, but it was half-hearted. "I guess so." He paused for a moment and took a deep breath. "I just...I felt so bad after you left. Terrible, my dad had pushed you around and then you had to run. Then he gave me that talk which made me completely paranoid. I thought he would...disown me if I kept acting the way I was. I had to change, I had to. It was going to be too hard for me to stay your friend because...I still liked you, loved you. I couldn't make those feelings go away. You kept coming up, again and again….I thought, maybe if I hurt you then you would leave. You still came back though." Alfred rubbed his temples. "I was so stupid!" He wiped new tears away from his eyes. "I just...couldn't shake you, I couldn't shake my feelings."

"Okay, I forgive you, Alfred." Kiku smiled and pecked him on the cheek.

"I-I'll stop smoking too. I don't even like it. M-My dad just told me it was the manly thing to do."

Kiku's lip tightened. "I think it's smart for you to quit."

"My dad's a dick."

"Yeah, he is." Kiku said and he hugged Alfred. "I'm sorry he influenced you like this."

"Me too. I acted…inexcusably." Alfred hugged him back, tightly. "I can't believe you forgave me though. I don't know if I could be that big."

"Well…" Kiku pulled away from the hug. "I just fell in love I guess."

"I'm lucky to have you, Kiku, I really am. I don't think anyone would give me another chance like this." Alfred sniffled.

"Thank you, Alfred." Kiku grinned. "That makes me more than happy, it makes me...ecstatic!"

"Really?" Alfred asked as he rubbed his hand under his nose.

"Really." Kiku grinned and kissed him, really kissed him again.
