Im sorry it took soooo long to post another chappy! I've just been feeling a little lazy as of late. So without futher ado here is the next chapter! WEEEEEE!

Holding his small and beautiful little love in his arms, Kurama dared not push for the details of the dream and what happened to this boy called Ben, he just knew Akira needed the comfort right now. Akira pulled back from Kurama's arms and looked into his eyes as he wiped away one of his tears and smiled meekly.

"You know, we still have a project due."

Kurama laughed gently and nodded. "Yeah we sure do, well should we get started?"

Akira grinned at him and stood up walking to the table where everything was set up, still marveling at the kiss they shared moments before, it was way different than last time, he could still taste Kurama on his lips and it made him feel comfortable, he knew there was one person he could count on always now, but that thought soon troubled him. It was night, and he had opted to stay at Kurama's, sleeping on the couch he remembered his earlier thought, and stared to worry. Ben was close to him, they were best friends, and look what happened to him? And his parents who were killed when he was a little kid, a toddler even, would that be the same fate of Kurama? He prayed against it as he drifted to sleep.

"So you gonna wake up anytime today?" a voice said as a pillow collided with Akira's head, at first he didn't realize who it was, then when he figured it out he shot up to look the big dorky carrot top with the stupid hair in the face.

"Huh? What are you doing here Kuwabara? " Akira said with a yawn as he attempted to wake himself.

"What I can't come and visit a friend? Heh we hadta' talk to Kurama anyway; you sure are a sound sleeper." it took a moment to realize that he had slept incredibly well that last night and wondered if it had something to do with the fact he was at Kurama's. The thought left him quickly because he feared that it could be read on his face and looked back at the big oaf.

"So what you need to talk to Kurama about anyway?"

"Uhhh stuff..." Kuwabara said trying not to blow his cover.

"Ohh okay, well we almost finished our project so it wont take us long now, if you wanna hang out or something." he said as he stood up and stretched, wearing a pair Kurama's of way-too-big-for-him pj's.

"Cool to offer Akira, but we gotta go, we'll meet up with you soon okay?" Yueske said coming back from talking to Kurama in his room.

"Huh? Oh okay well see you later guys, I guess. I need to get home to get some stuff too." the last part he thought to himself as they left.

"Hey Akira, good mourning sleepy head!" Kurama said cheerfully.

"Hm? I thought you were gonna go with those guys."

"Oh? No I'm not, they just gotta lead, um well its not important right now, want some breakfast?" Kurama said smiling at the boy in his livingroom.

"No im good actually, I gotta go home for a little while Kurama, there's some stuff I need to do that I've neglected, if I don't do it I'll forget."

"Hmm, okay, you think you'll be good walking home yourself?"

"Hehe Kurama, I'm not an infant, I can get home on my own, and besides, its daylight, I doubt anyone will try anything in the daylight." Kurama looked concerned but knew Akira was right, but he still felt bad for what had happened that one time and worried about Akira. "Kurama, don't look at me like that, I'll be fine, don't worry." he said with a smile, pulling his shirt on. (He'd been changing in the livingroom since he was still wearing his boxers and an undershirt and didn't feel he had to be so modest around Kurama.

"You know I'm just worried, you seem to get your self in a lot of trouble..."

"I know, you just don't wanna feel responsible if I get hurt." he said with a smile. Kurama walked up to him and took his face in his hands.

"It's not just that, I care for your safety Akira, because, I love you." Akira was taken aback by this declaration of love from his scarlet haired protector, and was a little stunned still when Kurama kissed him, has he had the night before. He relaxed and leaned into the warm kiss as he felt his heart leap again in his chest. "I don't honestly know why however." Kurama said with a smile as they pulled back from the kiss, still looking softly down at his little bishi love.

"Hehhh, I, love you too, Kurama." he said meekly as he says many things. He gathered his things and as he left he turned back and playfully blew Kurama a kiss, who responded by "catching" it and holding it close to him.

Akira rolled his eyes as he walked home, true he needed to finish the school project, but he had one at home that needed to be done desperately, he called it laundry. And another called dusting, since being friends with these guys, he was no longer such a neat freak, it didn't seem important and he was never bored enough to feel like it. He hadn't opted for Kurama to come by in a while because, well it was a mess! And he just happened to be embarrassed at the thought of Kurama seeing it that way, now he knew the reason why. He sighed as he walked home, through the sun soaked streets,( him walking everywhere was part of why he was so skinny) thinking of Kurama and the first time they met. Never did he dream just a few months before, that he would be accepted as a friend, by anyone much less someone popular, or that that same person, a man no less, would be the one he loved. He grinned at the thought, he loved it, let it soak into his skin as he walked cheerfully home, reliving the taste of Kurama on his lips. He had never been so happy in all his life, never.

This was not to be the last time the were to feel close like this though, over the next week or so Akira was able to increase his confidence, not only with the love of the most popular boy in school, but the absence of any attacks recently. Not even a scoff from a nobody on the streets. He began, for the first time, to feel very comfortable around people. Although the student body, nor their friends knew of their "relationship" the residual effect of hanging out with Kurama and friends was finally starting to sink into Akira. No longer was he bullied or even called names at school, other students began to talk to him. He wasn't a social out cast any longer, and he was finally accepted. But as some people might know, some good things aren't meant to last.

Okay some parts are kinda cheesy, but cheese is fun! hehe wonder whats gonna happen to them next time, i dont even really know, but its bound to be ... um entertaining!
